Chapter 95 Sun Quan: Surrender? Where else can I run? !

Big man,

Outside Linhua Hall,

"Xiangyang, Hanshui, Jiangling...Jiangling is here!"

Liu Bang was looking for Jiangling on the spread out map of mountains and rivers.

The mother and son, one on the left and one on the right, looked at the place pointed by Liu Bang's finger.

"This place... is indeed a battleground for military strategists."

"To the east, you can go down the river and conquer Jiangdong. To the west, you can go up the river and attack Yizhou."

"Well... Xuande really has the only option now to unite with Jiangdong to fight against Cao Cao."

Lu Zhi, who was on the side, pondered for a while and then said:

"The question is, does Jiangdong Sun Quan have the will to resist Cao Cao?"

"An army of two hundred thousand went south and occupied the land of Jiangling."

"No matter how you look at Jiangdong, it can't raise an army of 200,000. Even if it has an army of 100,000, it probably won't be a match for Cao Jun. As for Liu Bei's 10,000 navy..."

Listen to Lu Pheasant's unfinished thoughts.

Liu Bang tapped the land of Jiangdong.

"Eshen, marching and fighting are never based solely on the number of troops."

"Otherwise Xiang Ji wouldn't have broken Zhang Han in Julu."

"Nai Gong will not lose to Xiang Ji in Pengcheng."

Lu Zhi glanced at him and said,
Xiang Ji, Xiang Ji, three sentences are inseparable from Xiang Ji!

Liu Bang just looked at Xiangyang and Jiangling on the map.

Looking at the letter on the sky curtain again,
In the letter, Cao Cao's conceit and arrogance, his determination to win and the certainty of victory, as well as his contempt and intimidation towards Jiangdong are all vividly displayed on the paper.

Liu Bang said calmly:

"Cao Cao came in a hurry."

"At this time, he should use Jingzhou's resources to recuperate the army and civilians and stabilize Jingzhou. In this way, Sun Quan will be defeated without a fight."

"Cao Cao, who occupies two-thirds of the world, has exhausted the land east of the Yangtze River."

"Unless Jiangdong has destiny, we can conquer Cao Cao in the north with just one state."

"Otherwise, Cao Cao will definitely win."

"But since he is anxious to move eastward, the situation is hard to predict."

"Nai Gong had an army of more than 500,000 men in Pengcheng, and he was equally satisfied."

"Then Xiang Yu used 30,000 Chu troops to teach Naigong a lesson!"

"It's public opinion. I'm afraid Cao Cao won't get any good."

……

Playing continues on the marquee
Jiangdong Chaisang
Zhuge Liang, who was sitting at the lower end with his turban and feather fan, looked at the handsome young man sitting at the upper end.

Use words to test the other person's attitude.

"There is great chaos in the sea today. The general has raised troops to Jiangdong, and Liu Yuzhou has garrisoned in Hannan to compete with Cao Cao for the world."

Looking at the noncommittal young hero, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shook his feather fan lightly and said:
"Now, Cao Cao's troops are invincible, conquering Jingzhou and shaking the world."

"As the saying goes, there is no place for heroes, so Liu Yuzhou retreated southward here. I hope the general will make arrangements according to his ability and properly consider countermeasures."

"If the general can lead the Wuyue people in the east of the Yangtze River to compete with Cao Cao, it is better to break off diplomatic relations with him as soon as possible."

Zhuge Liang looked at the young general in front of him and cupped his hands slightly to the north.

"If you don't have this ability, why not put on your armor and surrender to the north of Cao Cao?"

"Today, the general is claiming to be obedient, but he is hesitating inwardly. The situation is critical, but he has no decision. I am afraid that a catastrophe will strike at any time!"

Facing the scene where Zhuge Liang took the lead, the young general sitting at the top sat upright and smiled calmly:
"If the city is as your Excellency says, why doesn't Liu Yuzhou simply surrender to the north of Cao Cao?"

Zhuge Liang heard the other party's questioning and said generously:

"Tian Heng was a strong man in the Qi State, but even if Gaozu gained the world, he would stick to his integrity and refuse to bend his knees and surrender."

"What's more, Liu Yuzhou is a nobleman of the Han Dynasty. His heroic talents are unparalleled in the world. Scholars all over the world admire him, just like thousands of rivers flowing eastward and returning to the sea!"

"If great things fail, it's God's will! How can we succumb to Cao Cao?"

As soon as these words came out, the young monarch suddenly changed his color and said angrily:
"How can I take the land of six counties in Jiangdong and a hundred thousand elites to be manipulated by Cao Cao!" Then the conversation changed.

"Although Liu Yuzhou has the courage to fight against Cao Cao, but he has recently been defeated, how will you deal with such a crisis?"

When the matter came to this, Zhuge Liang also said sincerely:

"Although Liu Yuzhou was defeated by Changban, the sergeants gathered together with General Guan Yu's naval force totaled 10,000 elite troops."

"In addition, Liu Qi's tribe in Jiangxia also has no less than 10,000 people."

"Although Cao Cao has a large number of troops, his troops and horses are exhausted due to the long expedition." "Moreover, people in the north are not used to water warfare, which is a disadvantage."

"In addition, the people in Jingzhou who surrendered to Cao Cao were forced by the situation and not convinced."

"Today, if the general can order a general to command tens of thousands of elite troops and work together with Liu Yuzhou, we will definitely be able to defeat Cao's army."

"If Cao Cao is defeated, he will have no choice but to return north."

"In this way, the power of Jing and Wu will be strong, and the tripod will be formed! The chance of success or failure lies today. I hope the general will make a clear decision."

……

Da Qin,

Ying Zheng looked at Zhuge Liang on the sky screen with a strange look on his face.

It was obvious that Cao Cao was beaten to the point where he abandoned his armor and fled in embarrassment, so he had to ask for help from the other party.

But he also assumed a posture that was neither humble nor arrogant.

There was no intention of asking for help, no trace of the fawning and pitiful look that the weak usually has.

He even mocked the other party unabashedly once.

This posture is not to ask for help.

Just to guide the country!

Why do you, a Confucian scholar, sound like a political strategist? !

……

[Sun Quan, courtesy name Zhongmou. 】

[Born in Xiapi, Xuzhou in 182 AD, he was both civilized and martial arts since childhood. His father Sun Jian and his brother Sun Ce laid the foundation of Jiangdong in the separatist rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty]

[In 200 AD, his brother Sun Ce was assassinated. Before his death, he ordered Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu to assist Sun Quan. Later, Sun Quan submitted a letter to befriend Cao Cao, and was appointed by the Han court as the general against the captives and the prefect of Kuaiji. 】

[With the dedicated assistance of Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others, Sun Quan recruited talents, divided generals, suppressed Shanyue, and began to command Jiangdong. 】

[In 208 AD, Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong to seek an alliance. At that time, Cao Cao's letter of persuasion to surrender had arrived in Jiangdong. The peace faction, headed by Zhang Zhao, believed that Cao Cao was using the name of the Han Prime Minister to coerce the emperor to conquer all directions. It would be unreasonable to resist. 】

[Furthermore, Cao’s army occupied the Yangtze River. If all waterways were to go down, there would be no natural dangers in the east of the river to defend, and there would be no way to resist, so they all persuaded Sun Quan to surrender. 】

……

On the canopy,
Zhou Yu looked at the main faction in the palace and stated the weaknesses of Cao Jun loudly.

"Cao Cao's trip is really to bring death! Why should he surrender?"

"General and gentlemen, please listen to what I have to say!"

"First, the north has not been completely pacified so far. Ma Chao, Han Sui and others are entrenched in Guanzhong, which is a future trouble for Cao Cao."

"Secondly, Cao Jun abandoned his pommel and horse and took a warship instead to compete with Wu Yue, who is accustomed to water warfare. This is overestimating his own capabilities."

"Thirdly, it is the severe winter at this time. Thousands of miles are covered with ice, and there is no fodder for the horses. Cao Cao drives his troops to trek through mountains and rivers. If the soil and water are not suitable, diseases will inevitably occur."

"This is a serious danger in using troops! But Cao Cao did it rashly!"

"The general captured Cao Cao alive and fought here."

"Yu, please recruit tens of thousands of elite soldiers to move into Xiakou and protect you as a general to defeat it!"

……

[After three consecutive analyzes by Zhuge Liang the day before yesterday, Lu Su yesterday, and Zhou Yu today, Sun Quan was determined. He drew his sword and cut off the corner of the table in public and said: "If the generals and officials dare to say something again, they should welcome it. It is the same as this case!"]

[That night Zhou Yu further analyzed the actual strength of Cao's army and pointed out that the number of Cao's troops from the Central Plains was only 150,000 to 60,000, and the 70,000 to 80,000 new soldiers from Jingzhou were received. People's hearts did not support Cao. 】

[Subsequently, Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu as the left and right commanders, and Lu Su as the captain of the Zan Army to help plan. He led Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Lu Fan, etc. and 30,000 troops up the river. , and Liu Bei fought against Cao. 】

……

{It’s really like Sun Zhongmou to have a son...}
{Cao Ang: Dad, you still have the nerve to say that. }
{Sun Quan has no surrender option at all. He is different from Liu Cong. }
{Liu Biaodan rode into Jingzhou and maintained his rule by balancing relations and marrying the gentry, and he was at peace with the local gentry. }
{But Sun Jian and Sun Ce fought their way out of the territory! There are not just one or two local nobles who are looking forward to the death of the Sun family! }

{If he voted, he would definitely end up dead. Lu Su didn't remind him, and he knew this very well. }
{It was never Boss Cao who wanted Sun Quan’s life, but the nobles in Jiangdong who had been severely suppressed by the Sun family before. }
{When Sun Ce killed the Jiangdong nobles, there were not only the four major families, but also many nobles who had returned to the north, such as Wang Lang and Hua Xin. Especially these two were doing well with Cao Cao. If Sun Quan had surrendered, he would have died sooner or later. . }
{A person who is full of tactics, he knows very well whether and when he can vote. }
 Who is more stupid, Yuan Shao during the Battle of Guandu or Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi?
  Anyway, I think Cao Cao made all the mistakes that Yuan Shao made.
