Han Xiang

Chapter 533 suggests that the Raptors cross the river first

Sun Quan had sent people to comfort Sun Yi's family, and he was a little surprised to see his brother's wife, Mrs. Xu.

"Lord."

When Xu met him, he bowed to her. Sun Quan unexpectedly stepped forward to support her, and asked with concern: "What should my brothers and sisters do for coming here? Are there difficulties at home? Or do you want to go back to live in Wuxian County?"

"When your husband was murdered, the concubine should keep her filial piety here, and there are no other difficulties in the family. It's just that Gui Lan came to the mansion to harass her husband many times after he was assassinated. This person may have intended to do something wrong, and based on this, he may be the real one." fierce."

Mrs. Xu spoke eloquently, which made Sun Quan very happy.

She thought in her heart that her siblings were really like gods, and the reason was more perfect than what she thought.

Sun Quan's expression was solemn, but his heart was like a deer. He suppressed his excitement and looked solemn:
"I have no estrangement with these two people. I just found out that Gui Lan and Dai Yuan fled to Jingzhou. I have led Xu Sheng and led the troops to pursue them. I hereby promise to my brothers and sisters that I will take the leader of the two thieves to sacrifice to my third brother." .”

"My lord Rongzhen, whether it was General Sun before or the lord who came to question me this time, Gui and Dai were tipped off, so they ran so fast. This shows that they are quite friendly in Jiangdong, and I was worried that General Xu would pursue him. If you can’t get there, and the defenders along the way are confused by the two men, then”

At the end of Xu's speech, she suddenly covered her face and began to cry.

Sun Quan frowned and thought for a while, then made a serious assurance:

"Brothers and sisters, don't be sad. Since I promised you to kill Gui and Dai, I will definitely do it. I will immediately lead my troops to pursue them myself. I want to see who dares to protect them."

"Thank you, my lord."

Mrs. Xu saluted excitedly.

"Lord."

"I have given up my intention, and you don't need to persuade me."

Zhang Zhao's advice was forcibly interrupted by Sun Quan, who thought to himself: "Where can I catch a thief without my lord personally going there?"He didn't know that Sun Quan did this to show his brotherly love, and it was a necessary show.

After receiving the answer, Mrs. Xu bowed and said goodbye to everyone, leaving Zhang Zhao, Yu Fan and others looking at each other.

Seeing this situation, Sun Quan said to Zhang Zhao solemnly: "It may take two or three months to capture the traitor this time. I will entrust the rear matters to Zhang Gong. You can handle it according to your discretion."

Zhang Zhao reminded with a bitter look on his face: "My Lord, the political situation in Jiangdong has been unstable recently, and Shu Bi and Bo Hai died unexpectedly. You should not lead your troops to travel far at this time. What if something big happens again?"

"Because there has been some chaos in Jiangdong recently, and Danyang County is now leaderless, I intend to let Zhong Yi (Sun Yu) take over, so I have to go to Chaisang to deploy defense. Liu Biao may take advantage of the chaos to raise troops to invade eastward. In addition, there are people at home What big things can happen if the princes are sitting here?"

Sun Quan directly put his hat on everyone, saying that my biggest hidden danger is gone, so it is no big deal to Sun Quan.

Seeing that Sun Quan had a good reason, Zhang Zhao and others couldn't persuade him anymore.

So everyone left Wanling together, and the fleet went east and west to Lishui River.

When Sun Quan arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, he found that Lu Meng had been waiting by the river in advance. He received the order and came from Shicheng, thinking that there would be another battle.

After asking, I found out that they were going to arrest Gui Lan and Dai Yuan.

Tens of thousands of people chasing hundreds of people, it feels like a cannon hitting mosquitoes.

Sun Quan saw that everyone was suspicious, so he repeated what he said to prevaricate Zhang Zhao on the spot.

Although Sun Quan made the idea temporarily, the more he thought about it, the more necessary he felt to go west. In addition to making a big splash to avenge his brothers, and transferring Sun Yu to Danyang as the governor, he also planned to inspect Yuzhang.

Sun Bi handed over the song as promised, and Sun Quan personally came to confirm again.

Among the brothers, Sun Yi was the greatest threat, and among the brothers, Sun Bi was the greatest threat. If he returned to the base by force and then recruited troops aggressively, it would mean that he had not surrendered to Sun Quan.Risks must be controlled in their infancy.

Lu Meng nodded frequently when he heard this, and finally reminded Sun Quan:

"My lord, the last general and others are stationed in Shicheng to guard against Longxiang's sneak attack across the river. If they all go to Chaisang this time, who will guard against Hefei's soldiers?"

"Haha, I didn't intend to transfer all of them."

Sun Quan shook his head and explained: "We haven't used the navy for a long time. This trip to the west is just for training. Moreover, Long Xiang refused Gui Lan to join us. He is still knowledgeable. Without Zhang Liao, he is nothing. How can he cross the river to attack?"

"Having said that." Lu Meng paused and continued: "The general thinks this person is also very difficult to deal with, so he should not be underestimated."

"It's right to be cautious." Sun Quan nodded in affirmation, and then ordered to Han Dang: "Yi Gong, you have been stationed in Danyang for a long time. There is no need to go west with us this time. The old general can lead his troops south. For the time being, Go and station in Wanling."

"Wanling? That Shicheng." Han Dang hesitated to speak.

Sun Quan replied: "The prefect, governor, and county magistrate are all away. Wanling needs the army to intervene to maintain stability at this time. As for leaving troops to garrison in Shicheng, I think it is not necessary, right?"

"This"

Han Dang looked at Lu Meng and hesitated, as if to say that Shicheng is a strategically important place, and as the governor, you need to persuade him.

Lu Meng understood and remonstrated: "Long Xiang built a fortress at Ruxukou. Although this move has the intention of weakening Jiangdong, we have broken with Hefei after all. The general still recommends leaving some garrison in Shicheng, even a small number of sentries. It’s okay in Uyuzuga.”

"You are the Governor of Jiangdong. You can arrange these small things by yourself." Sun Quan waved his hand gently with a look of disapproval.

After Lu Meng and Han Dang handed over the defense handover, they followed Sun Quan on a boat up the Shuo River.

Although it was already November, Sun Quan still stood on the deck and looked into the wind. He seemed to be thinking about his own inland river. Who made the Jiangdong navy unmatched at this time?
When Xu Sheng pursued Gui and Dai, Sun Quan followed suit and showed his attitude of avenging his brother. His main purpose was to go to Chaisang and go to Yuzhang.

Gui Lan and Dai Yuan did not dare to slack off in their escape, and rowed almost day and night.

Xu Sheng tried hard to catch up but failed to catch up. Gui Lan and Dai Yuan lied about being ordered to rush to Xiakou, deceiving both Chai Sang, Sun Yu and Wuchang Cheng Pu, and finally fell into Liu Pan's hands.

News of Liu Pan's attack on Jiangxia subsequently reached Wuchang, Chaisang, and Sun Quan's ships.

Sun Quan was not surprised, but was pleasantly surprised in his heart, saying that I had repeatedly lost in Huainan, but unexpectedly won consecutive victories in Jingzhou.

Naturally, Sun Quan couldn't let go of the opportunity to boost morale. He completed the army gathering and encouragement in Chaisang and set out for the Jiangxia battlefield again.

Liu Pan had a reputation for being good at fighting, and Sun Quan planned to use him as a stepping stone.

But when tens of thousands of naval troops arrived at Xiakou, Sun Quan did not see any of the 'cute' Jingzhou soldiers.

I asked the guard and learned that Liu Pan had been besieging the city for several days, but suddenly withdrew his troops without warning, which made Sun Quan go inside without knowing.

Is Liu Pan afraid of me?

Liu Pan was marching along the Yangtze River. During the journey, he drank wind and dew and contracted a cold. Because he did not pay attention to it, his condition worsened.

When he arrived at Xiakou, Liu Pan suddenly had a high fever that wouldn't go away. The doctor was at a loss to diagnose and treat him, and the generals in the army were at a loss, so they had to withdraw their troops and go to Changsha to seek medical treatment.

Sun Quan planned to regain his position in Jingzhou, but unfortunately Liu Pan fell ill and was unable to do so.

But his other opponent, Long Xiang, was preparing to cross the river in advance on the advice of Lu Su and others.
