The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 516
Wu County, the first line of the Great Wall, Wu Jun Camp
At this time, an army with low morale, armor stained with blood, and broken cavalry was slowly entering the Wu camp.

This army soldier is the Wu army who is sticking to the city of Wujun, and its leader is Han Dang.

Since the main force led by Marquis Wu and Sun Ce had held off the enemy forces along the Great Wall, Han Dang thought he could sit back and relax.

Therefore, it is more reassuring to set the target on the adjacent western front, which is Xuancheng County.

However, Han Dang would never have imagined that the Huaixi army would attack Wu County across the sea without warning.

For a while, because Han Dang didn't pay attention to the eastern part of Wu County, after Zhu Biaojun came ashore, he won consecutive battles all the way, with no disadvantages!
Almost in a short period of time, they swept across the eastern counties of Wu County.

Immediately afterwards, Han Dang misjudged the situation again and personally led the army out of the city to fight, resulting in being encircled by the Huaixi Army and suffering heavy losses in World War I!
After the defeat, the Wu army had not enough left, so Han Dang had no choice but to send the remnants of the army and transfer the Sun family members to the camp.

······
In the camp, Han Dang knelt on the ground alone, facing Sun Ce, bowed his head in sorrow, and couldn't get up from his knees.

Han Dangnai was an old general under Sun Jian's command. He fought with Sun Jian in the north and south, with outstanding military exploits and rich experience in battle.

That's why Marquis Wu and Sun Ce asked Han Dang to stay behind and guard the safety of his family when he led the army to resist.

Han Dang also boasted a thousand words in front of Sun Ce before, so that Sun Ce can go forward with peace of mind, and he will definitely be able to keep the prognosis and not lose!
However, the current situation is completely opposite. How can Han Dang have the face to meet Sun Ce?

It just said that no matter how Sun Ce asked about Han Dang's situation at this time, he was ashamed and kept silent.

In desperation, Sun Ce had no choice but to turn to his brother Sun Quan and asked, "Brother Quan, tell me, how did the Huaixi Army break through the city?"

For a moment, Sun Ce's complexion was iron, and his eyes were sharp, which made Sun Quan dare not feel rebellious in his trance.

Immediately, Sun Quan couldn't help but told Sun Ce how Zhu Biao crossed the sea to attack Wu County, swept across the eastern counties, and used suspicious tactics to lure Han Dang out of the city, setting up an ambush and defeating him.

However, Sun Quan concealed one thing, that is, Sun Quan did not tell Sun Ce that Han Dang was defeated because he did not try his best to listen to his persuasion.

Otherwise, relying on the fortification of Wu County's city, even if the Huaixi Army seized the opportunity, it would not be possible to easily seize the city.

As long as there is a buffer time, then Sun Ce must have a chance to deal with it, and the situation will not deteriorate to the current dilemma.

Hearing Sun Quan's narration, Cheng Pu saw his old brother being humiliated, so he couldn't help standing up and shouting: "Marquis Wu, I ask you to lead the army to fight."

"The old minister will definitely retake the land of Wu County for Marquis Wu, kill Zhu Biao's son with his hands, and avenge Han Dangxian's younger brother."

Cheng Pu can be said to be swearing, confident in his words, as if Zhu Biao is so insignificant!
In fact, this is a common problem of Sun's veterans, who like to rely on the old to sell the old.

In the original history, Cheng Pu was also at odds with Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu, because of his seniority.

Hearing this, Lu Xun immediately stopped him, saying: "Marquis Wu, the old general's words are not acceptable!"

"Now that Zhu Biao is sweeping the land of Wu County, it is just at the time when our army has been defeated."

"Its peak is at its peak, and our army has no chance of winning this time!"

Turning the subject, he continued to analyze: "And at this moment, the main force of the Huaixi Army is watching. If our army suddenly mobilizes its forces."

"At that time, under the siege of the Huaixi Army, there is no doubt that we will lose!"

For a while, Lu Xunqi looked anxious and tried to persuade him.

At this moment, Marquis Wu and Sun Ce couldn't make up their minds and didn't know how to deal with it.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Ce turned to Lu Xun and asked Ji, "I don't know what Bo Yan has in mind, but it's okay to say it?"

Obviously, Sun Ce also saw what Lu Xun was hiding behind his words, and couldn't help but signaled him not to hide and choke.

With such a bright hint, Lu Xun didn't know what it meant, took a deep breath, and said his true thoughts word by word.

"For the current plan, the only way is to surrender to the Qi State, hand over the surrender form, and ask the Qi army for help."

Suddenly, following Lu Xun's words, the tent seemed to explode.

All the lost generals immediately squinted angrily, and then asked Sun Ce to immediately behead Lu Xun to show the public, as a warning to others!

Among them, Cheng Pu took the lead, calling out to the most brother, saying: "Little Lu Xun, the Sun family's foundation is the cause of the former lord."

"Now you dare to persuade the young lord to surrender, and submit a letter to Qi Junna, what is your intention?"

As the generals condemned, Sun Ce's expression gradually became gloomy, and his tone was cold, he said: "Bo Yan, tell me your reason!"

For a moment, although Sun Ce seemed to be asking for Lu Xun's opinion, the aura exuded from his tone made the audience chill.

Lu Xun even felt the murderous aura about to erupt from Sun Ce's body, as cold as ice.

Seeing this, Lu Xun took a deep breath and said slowly, "Wu Hou, now that Wu County has fallen, our army has lost its last territory."

"Not only that, but our army is far weaker than the Huaixi Army. Marquis Wu thinks that we can turn the tide and fight against the Huaixi Army?"

"As expected, next, Zhu Biaoding will get in touch with his father Zhu Yuanzhang to carry out a double blow to our army."

"As a result, our army that has lost its territory is like a rootless duckweed, vulnerable to a single blow!"

"If there is no external force involved, how can our army resist a large-scale attack?"

Although Lu Xun explained all the situations he was facing for a while, the generals of the Sun family were still stubborn.

During this time, Cheng Pu's tone was sharp, and he shouted: "Then it's a good thing to take refuge in Gao Qi?"

"With Marquis Wu's ambition, do you think that Gao Qi will feel at ease?"

"When the time comes, once the surrender table is offered, will Marquis Wu still have a chance to dominate?"

A series of questions swept over, but Lu Xun couldn't laugh or cry. Is this Cheng Pu really stupid or fake?

This is the most real thought in Lu Xun's heart now.

"Old general, with the current situation, do you think that if Marquis Wu doesn't surrender to Qi, there is still a chance to dominate?"

"Present surrender form, submit to the Qi army, and seek its asylum, although Marquis Wu has lost the opportunity to compete for the world."

"However, Marquis Wu can protect his people from being persecuted by the Huaixi Army."

"That's all for Xun to say. It's up to Marquis Wu whether to continue to resist or to surrender!"

"However, Xun emphasizes that there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Whether Marquis Wu wants to dominate or protect the clan, he must make a clear decision."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xun stopped talking, went straight back to his camp, packed his bags, and went to the family.

Now, as a subject of the Sun family, he has done his best and fulfilled his duty.

At the last moment, Lu Xun also analyzed the way out for Sun Ce. As for how to choose, the next step is Sun Ce's own choice.

At this time, Lu Xun wanted to return to the family to protect his own Lu family members.

Since the Lu family is a big family in Kuaiji County, the battle between the Taiping Army and the Xiang Group is currently breaking out in the land.

Of course Lu Xun couldn't ignore it, so Qichen left!

Because now Lu Xun can see very clearly that even if he stays here, it will be of no use at all, and he is not capable of turning the tide.

In such a situation, let alone him, even if Han Bai came in person, he would be doomed!
Just saying, just as Lu Xun was leaving, there was a quarrel in the tent, but Sun Ce sat quietly cross-legged on the master seat.

For a moment, what Lu Xun said kept floating in Sun Ce's mind, making it difficult for him to make a choice!

Although Sun Ce has endless ambitions, he aspires to be king and hegemony, and to be an outstanding person in the world.

However, the same Qi is also a filial son, and he does not want his family members to be harmed.

So, this can be regarded as Lu Xun presenting a multiple-choice question to Sun Ce, so that he doesn't know how to choose?

Suddenly, the orderly entered the account in a hurry, reporting that there was an urgent letter, but Sun Ce was restless and didn't want to watch.

After a long time, Sun Quan on the side couldn't help but reached out and took the letter chip, and spread it out to watch each word.

After reading it, Sun Quan went to the commander's platform and said to Sun Ce, "Brother, this is a letter from uncle, can you read it for yourself?"

Hearing this, Sun Ce immediately became interested, grabbed his letter and read it carefully.

His uncle was Sun Wu, a soldier who was born randomly, and his identity implanted after birth was Sun Jian's cousin and Sun Ce's uncle.

At that time, Sun Ce also wrote several times to invite Sun Wu to come to help, but Sun Wu knew that the Sun family could not occupy a place in the troubled times, so he used the excuse that his body was not full!

Of course, Sun Ce knew that his uncle was a man of great talents, so he was instantly elated when he learned that it was his letter.

However, as he gradually read through it with excitement, Sun Ce's mood became more and more depressed.

I thought that when the Sun family was in danger, Sun Wu would offer advice and suggestions to help him survive the fire and water.

Unfortunately, this letter greatly exceeded Sun Ce's expectations.

Because, Sun Wu's ideas are the same as Lu Xun's, they are all persuading Sun Ce to give up his inner idea of ​​ruling the roost, with the purpose of protecting the family.

Immediately, Sun Ce retreated all the generals under his command, and then stood here alone!
At this moment, Sun Ce felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness. He suddenly realized that he would feel powerless on the road to rule the roost.

Sun Ce, this outstanding man in his youth, who showed his sharpness and showed his ambitions, wants to take advantage of this to be lonely when he has not yet exerted his abilities.

After a long silence, Sun Ce couldn't help laughing wryly, and murmured, "Haha!"

"God, why are you teasing me, Sun Ce? You know that I, Sun Ce, have thousands of ambitions and ambitions hidden in my chest."

"But why don't you give me Sun Ce any chance to develop?"

With some enlightenment, Sun Ce knew that if he continued to fight, his side would not have any chance of victory.

Immediately afterwards, after Sun Ce figured everything out, he went straight out of the big tent and went back to camp.

Under the communication between Sun Ce and his mother, Sun Ce reluctantly wrote down the surrender form, ordering his younger brother Sun Quan to be the envoy and Han Dang to be the guard.

In charge of protecting Sun Quan, he went to Jiangling and handed the surrender form to Gao Qi.

······
In the autumn of 619 A.D., when the Battle of the South of the Yangtze River was in full swing, the Eastern Capital was also undercurrents and great changes had taken place.

Dongdu, Luoyang

Since Wang Shichong defeated the Western Wei army with Xingyang, his prestige in Luoyang has become even higher.

It can be said that the people in Henan today only know Zheng Guogong Wang Shichong, but not the emperor Yang Tong.

Therefore, this also deepened the contradiction between the emperor Yang Yu and Zheng Guogong Wang Shichong. Up to now, the two are already at odds with each other!
Not only that, but the important ministers in the court, Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu, were on the side of the emperor Yang Yu.

In the court, Lu Chu and other ministers secretly advised the emperor Yang Tong to make Li Mi the king of Shangzhu Kingdom and Western Wei Dynasty, and let him be the prime minister of Henan and Shandong counties.

And also informed Li Mi in the secret edict, let him lead the decree, lead the army westward, enter the capital to serve the king, and eliminate the rebellion.

When the imperial edict spread to Jinyong City, the capital of the Western Wei Army, Wei Gong Li Mi couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately summoned Shangzhu Kingdom, Prime Minister Zhai Rang and other ministers to discuss.

Calling the public is just Li Mi's self-supporting title, and it has always been unfair, so this is also a thorn in Li Mi's heart.

But now, in order to deal with Wang Shichong, the emperor Yang Yu took the initiative to win him over.

Li Mi knew keenly that this must be a good opportunity. As long as he grasped it properly, he would definitely be able to seize the opportunity to eliminate Wang Shichong in one fell swoop, and stationed in Luoyang to serve as a minister of the auxiliary country.

However, after receiving the order for a while, the generals of the Western Wei Dynasty did not care about it, and even the prime minister Zhai Rang took the lead in resisting the order.

For a while, Li Mi couldn't help being contemptuous in his heart, and secretly said: "It's really a group of bandits who have no vision!"

But this also made Li Mi aware of Zhai Rang's danger, and he also felt a little jealous of Zhai Rang inadvertently.

The Western Wei Army was originally recruited by Zhai Rang, but because of Li Mi's support later, he has led the army to fight in various places and achieved good results.

Let Li Mi's military prestige in the army soar, and Zhai Rang can't help but give up his position.

However, at this time Li Mi felt that although he was a prince, the generals under his command were still close to Zhai Rang.

Immediately, Li Mi compulsorily accepted the decree, and set up an altar to proclaim himself the king of the Shangzhu Kingdom, the king of the Western Wei Dynasty.

As for Zhai Rang, he was Zhu Guo, the prime minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, and his Wang Bodang was the general of the auxiliary army of the Western Wei Dynasty, responsible for the internal defense.

Shan Xiongxin is the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Junke is the General Fuwei, Cheng Yaojin is the Zhongxin General, and Xie Yingdeng is the Zhaoyi General.

Pei Renji was the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, in charge of the military affairs of the Western Wei Dynasty.

And Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Cheng Yaojin, Xie Yingdeng, and Wang Jun can be the generals of the Five Tigers of the Western Wei Dynasty.

For a while, at the ceremony of proclaiming the king, Li Mi personally boarded the high platform, announcing that the Western Wei army would start preparing for war on a certain day, and then lead the army westward to conquer the rebel Wang Shichong and rescue the emperor.

Following Li Mi's announcement, the Western Wei Dynasty was filled with dust and smoke, people shouted and horses neighed, and the morale of the army was high.

…………

As the Western Wei army garrisoned troops wantonly, this thunderous move shocked Wang Shichong of the Eastern Capital.

After some investigation, Wang Shichong could not help but know that it was the emperor Yang Tong who ordered Li Miqin to be king.

For a moment, Wang Shichong's expression turned pale, and he said coldly, "Yang Tong, Yang Tong, I was the one who pushed you to the position of emperor with all my heart."

"Since you are ignorant of current affairs, don't blame me for being cruel!"

"Since I can push you up, I can pull you down, just wait and see."

Immediately after this time, with the large-scale mobilization of the troops of the Western Wei Army, the battle in Henan and Shandong could not help but kick off!
