No matter how bad his younger brother was, he was still Sun Ce's younger brother. An elder brother was like a father. Sun Ce had been the eldest brother for so many years. When Sun Jian died, Sun Quan was only a few years old. It could be said that Sun Ce had watched Sun Quan grow up. Sun Ce really did not want to do anything to his younger brother. Since Zhongmou wanted the military power, he would fulfill his wish.
"Eldest brother is giving me 20,000 troops?" Sun Quan stayed in his courtyard and was stunned. He was already 20 years old and had his own residence outside Marquis Wu's residence. Sun Quan was originally waiting for the news in his own residence. When he reported to Zhang Zhao and asked him to tell his eldest brother that he was going to lead the troops, Sun Quan thought of the result.
The first was that his eldest brother wanted him to go to war. The second was that his eldest brother did not agree and the aristocratic families that were with him would be unlucky. Sun Quan would also be put under house arrest by his eldest brother. Sun Quan was frightened and regretted rashly asking for the military power.
However, Sun Quan did not expect that not only did his eldest brother agree to let him lead the troops, he even said that he only wanted 10,000 elite troops. However, his eldest brother gave him 20,000 troops. It should be known that there were only 30,000 elite troops in Jianye. Half of them were gone. This expedition had begun to affect the safety of Jianye. Sun Ce gave him 20,000 troops because the hinterland of Jiangdong was now much more stable than before. The most shaky Shanyue had been dealt with by Sun Ce once and for all. That was why he could give him 20,000 troops.
"Yes, Zhongmou. Marquis Wu gave him 20,000 troops this time!" Lu Su confirmed with Sun Quan. His expression was complicated. Sun Ce, the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong, did he really not see that his younger brother was not someone who was willing to submit to others? Even if Sun Ce did not see it, how could Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao not see it? But if they saw it, why did they still treat Sun Quan so well? It was really rare in the world. Lu Su sighed softly. This was the Sun family's internal affairs, and as an outsider, he couldn't interfere.
"Alright, Zhongmou. Since Marquis Wu has given us twenty thousand elite soldiers, in addition to the thirty thousand soldiers supported by the aristocratic families, fifty thousand soldiers should be enough to march into Yangzhou and take over Linhuai and Zhongzhong!" Lu Su said to Sun Quan.
"Haha, haha!" Sun Quan seemed to be a little crazy. He, Sun Quan, could finally have military power. He could finally enter Yangzhou. He could truly ask his elder brother for help. He couldn't help but become high-spirited.
"Zijing, with such an army of 50,000, we should sweep through Yangzhou and take down a piece of the sky that belongs to us!"
"Fifty thousand to sweep Yangzhou?" Looking at his best friend's excited expression, Lu Su did not have the heart to attack Sun Quan. Don't talk about 50,000 troops. Back then, when the 100,000 troops attacked Lujiang, they were all wiped out. Although Lu Su felt that Sun Quan was more suitable to be his lord, he did not think that Sun Quan's military talent was better than his brother, Sun Ce. Even his brother could not take down Yangzhou. Do you think that relying on 50,000 troops is enough?
"Then we should set off as soon as possible!" Lu Su said to Sun Quan. Lu Su did not have the confidence to help Sun Qian sweep through Yangzhou. However, it was still possible to drive Liu Mang's Army out of Linhuai and take down Linhuai as the foundation of Jiangdong in Jiangbei.
"Yes, yes. It's getting late. We should rest early and set off tomorrow morning!" Sun Quan finally calmed down. His pair of green eyes were bright for the first time.
… …
"Zhang Liao is just a brute. The Bing Province barbarians took down Linhuai just to take advantage of people's difficulties! His real ability is nothing more than clay chickens and pottery dogs! "
"That's right. Our lord's Linhuai was taken by Zhang Liao through a sneak attack. He doesn't have any real ability. Are the people from Bing Province all cowards? Are they all trash?"
"Actually, you don't know. This Zhang Liao is not a Han. When the Bing Province barbarians invaded, his mother was taken away. Although she came back in the end, when she was rescued, her belly was already big. Tell me, whose child is this Zhang Liao?" “
Hahaha. Of course he is the child of that barbarian. Of course he is as timid as a mouse! " Under Qin Feng's lead, the veterans on the city wall and in the city cursed Zhang Liao's ancestors. It was simply unbearable to the ears.
"General, let's attack!" Outside the city walls, Zhang Hu and Ge Jun could not bear it any longer. The soldiers under their command were also filled with righteous indignation. They wanted to directly attack and fight for their general.
The people under his command started to ask for battle. However, the person being insulted did not panic. "No rush!" Zhang Liao waved his hand. Everything on the city walls was under the observation of Zhang Liao. He looked at the enemies on the city walls indifferently.
"Come. If you have the ability, attack me! "Qin Feng's soldiers on the city walls became more and more unrestrained. With the protection of the cities along the way, they were not afraid of the Xiliang Cavalry.
"Ah ah, I can't take it anymore. Brothers, let's charge the city!" Zhang Hu couldn't take it anymore. His general was humiliated, and as the deputy general, he wasn't in a good mood. Furthermore, Qin Feng also knew that the Xiliang Cavalry was below. He even scolded the Xiliang Cavalry. He said that if the Xiliang Cavalry had Qiang Cavalry, then they were the Xiliang Cavalry. But if the Xiliang Cavalry didn't have Qiang Cavalry, then they were just grandsons! What's more, they were a bunch of cowards who only knew how to be cowards. Zhang Hu could not take it anymore. He would rather disobey the military order and bring his men to charge the city.
"Come back!" Zhang Liao suddenly glared at him and yelled.
"Come back? Hmph. You are shameless. You don't feel anything after being insulted. However, we, the Xiliang Cavalry, still care about our reputation! "Zhang Hu was furious and did not hold back against Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao did not argue with Zhang Hu and directly said, "Are you, Zhang Hu, going to disobey the military order?" Zhang Hu narrowed his eyes.
"You!" Zhang Hu glared at Zhang Liao but the killing intent in his eyes was real. This Zhang Liao did not like the Xiliang Cavalry for a day or two. Normally, Zhang Liao would not abuse his power for personal gain. This was his principle. However, if Zhang Hu dared to disobey the military order, Zhang Liao would definitely kill him. "So what if I disobey? I would rather die in battle than be a coward and be cursed by others!" Zhang Hu was so angry that he wanted to lead his men to disobey the military order.
"Zhang Hu!" Ge Jun saw that something was wrong and quickly stopped his brother. Zhang Liao would really kill. Although Zhang Liao was usually strict, it was a typical example of a sharp tongue but a soft heart. However, if they really disobeyed the military order, Zhang Liao would really kill them.
"Ge Jun, don't stop me!" Zhang Hu was really angry this time.
"Zhang Hu, I won't stop you. Do you want the young master to be alone? Do you want to die here? "Ge Jun was also angry. He stepped forward and slapped Zhang Hu. "Since the general has spoken, he naturally has his own plans. Open your eyes and look at this Zhongcheng. It is several feet high and there is a moat. Do you want to use the corpses of your brothers to build a moat?" Along the way, Qin Feng, that coward, had thoroughly built the city into a strong fortress. If they wanted to capture such a city, they would need to sacrifice tens of thousands of people. It was just like when Sun Ce attacked Wancheng city. There was no other way but to forcefully attack, and forcefully attacking meant that there would be a huge number of casualties. ‘
Right now, Zhang Liao had ten thousand men including the Black Flag Army. How could he use ten thousand men to attack a city? It was impossible.
"Hu!" Zhang Hu gasped for breath. He was a little more clear-headed now. There were many enemies on the city walls. The city walls were tall, and the moat was deep. If he tried to force his way through, his men might all die in battle, and it would be difficult for them to scale the city walls.
Moreover, disobeying the military order was a road to death. It might even implicate his family. Zhang Hu's family was also in Shouchun.
"Hurry up and apologize to the general!" Ge Jun quickly pulled Zhang Hu and said. He wanted Zhang Hu to apologize to Zhang Liao to ease the conflict.
"General, Hu was impulsive just now!" Although Zhang Hu was sober, he still said reluctantly.
Zhang Liao did not respond. He just looked at Zhang Hu coldly and suddenly shouted, "Men! Take him down! "The Xiliang Cavalry on the side were stunned. Take him down?
"Ah! General, Zhang Hu was just impulsive. He did not mean to offend the general. It was just that the enemy on the city wall was too insulting and Zhang Hu could not hold back! " General, please forgive me! "Hearing that Zhang Liao was going to arrest Zhang Hu, Ge Jun was so scared that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
The Xiliang Cavalry on the side were also in a difficult position. Although Zhang Liao was their general, their main generals were still Zhang Hu and Ge Jun. They were also brought to Yangzhou by the two of them. They also did not want Zhang Hu to be killed by Zhang Liao.
"Why are you not listening to me?" Zhang Liao's eyes became colder. "Or are you deaf? Do I have to repeat myself? Take him down!"
"Yes!" The Xiliang Cavalry could only grit their teeth and take down Zhang Hu under Zhang Liao's Wall Stance.
"General, you can't, you can't!" Ge Jun quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Liao, hoping that Zhang Liao would be lenient.
"Military law is merciless." Zhang Liao spat out these words.
"Hmph! Ge Jun, don't beg him! "Zhang Hu coldly snorted." Isn't it just death? I, Zhang Hu, am not afraid of death. If I was afraid of death, I would not be a soldier! " Zhang Hu looked at Zhang Liao arrogantly. "Zhang Liao, I know that you have been unhappy with our Xiliang Cavalry for a long time. But let me tell you, your brother, Zhang Fan, was not killed by us. The one who killed your brother died in Yangzhou a long time ago! It has nothing to do with us. Ge Jun, I've been your brother for so many years, but I've never asked you for anything. But this time, I'm begging you. Even if I die, help me take care of my family's little brat. Please, "Zhang Hu said to Ge Jun." Come, kill me. If I even frown, I'll change my surname to yours! "Zhang Hu had forgotten that if he had the same surname as Zhang Liao, he would also have the same surname as Zhang!
"Brother?!" Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with murderous intent. This kind of murderous intent was about to materialize.
"General, this Zhang Hu is muddle-headed. He is just saying things out of anger. General, please understand!" Ge Jun was really anxious. Zhang Hu was just adding fuel to the fire.
However, Zhang Liao did not have the slightest intention of letting Zhang Hu go. "General, if you want to kill Zhang Hu, then please kill Ge Jun as well! I only ask that you take care of my family! "
"Ge Jun, you?" Zhang Hu's eyes were fierce. If Zhang Liao really wanted to kill them, neither of them would be able to escape. Zhang Hu gritted his teeth. If Zhang Liao really wanted to kill them, he would have to fight. At most, he would just betray them.
Just as Zhang Hu was about to explode, Zhang Liao's voice sounded. "Take care of your own children. Although I am your commander, I do not have the obligation to take care of your family!"
"Huh?" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun were both stunned.
"General, you are not going to kill us?" Ge Jun suddenly reacted and asked.
"Who said I am going to kill you?" Zhang Liao replied coldly. "Zhang Hu, you are not bad, not bad at all!" Zhang Liao suddenly sneered at Zhang Hu, causing Zhang Hu to tremble in fear.
"Men, take Zhang Hu away. He insulted a superior and lost his manners in front of the battle! According to the law, he should be flogged 30 times. Considering that this is before the battle, 10 flogs will be enough. "
"Yes!" This time, the Xi Liang Iron Horse riders moved quickly and quickly dragged Zhang Hu down.
"Thank you general, thank you general!" Ge Jun saw that Zhang Hu did not need to die and only got 10 flogs. Although it was painful, he would not die. Naturally, he was grateful.
"Don't thank me! This is the military law! "Zhang Liao still had that dead fish face. Do you really think that Zhang Liao does not dare to kill Zhang Hu and Ge Jun? If Zhang Hu and Ge Jun really disobeyed the military order, Zhang Liao would definitely raise his butcher's knife and cut them down. Even if the entire Xi Liang Iron Cavalry was in an uproar, Zhang Liao was confident that he could pull out the knife at his waist in an instant and cut down the two of them. This was the confidence of a refinement god. However, Zhang Hu was stopped by Ge Jun in time. That was why he was able to avoid the knife.
"Ah! Yes, Ge Jun knows! " Ge Jun saw that Zhang Liao's hand that was originally on the knife had already been retracted. This scared him so much that he broke out in cold sweat. It turned out that they had really walked through the gates of hell.
After witnessing the scene between Ge Jun and Zhang Hu, the way the Xiliang Cavalry looked at Zhang Liao also changed. Clear punishments and rewards, strict military discipline, such a superior was what the soldiers liked the most and respected the most.
"Reporting, reporting to general, there is a letter from Shouchun!" A scout quickly came to the barracks and handed a letter to Zhang Liao. This letter was sent from Shouchun.
Ge Jun and Zhang Hu stood at the side. Although Zhang Hu's buttocks were smashed, he still insisted on standing. He was afraid that Zhang Liao would use military law to restrict him, so he might as well obey.
"Good, good, good!" Zhang Liao looked at the letter in his hand and said the word 'good' three times.
"Huh?" Zhang Hu and Ge Jun were baffled by Zhang Liao's actions. Zhang Liao handed the letter over to them. When the two of them read the letter, their faces changed. Their first thought was that Zhang Liao was crazy! How could this letter be good?
The letter said that Sun Ce of Jiangdong had dispatched troops. This time, the commander of the troops was his younger brother, Sun Quan. He had dispatched 50,000 troops and had already set off from Jiangdong on a warship.
50,000 troops! This was not 50,000 civilians, it was 50,000 Jiangdong troops. They only had 10,000 troops in their hands. Originally, they wanted to surround the enemy and attack. If Qin Feng's position in Sun Ce's heart was not high, then he would only send two to three thousand troops. If Qin Feng's position was high, then he would consider sending seven to eight thousand troops. But now, 50,000 troops had come! In addition, there were already 20,000 troops in the city. This added up to 70,000 troops. With such an enemy, Zhang Liao actually said 'good'. Ge Jun and Zhang Hu were guilty.
"What? Are you scared?!" Zhang Liao's lips curled into a mocking smile.
Afraid? Of course, they were afraid. This was a 1: 7 ratio. Furthermore, the other party had a sturdy city. If they didn't manage to encircle the city and attack the reinforcements, they would be the ones being attacked. That would be a joke.
However, when Zhang Hu saw Zhang Liao's disdain, he immediately became angry. The feeling of being looked down upon was very unpleasant. "Afraid? Whoever is afraid is a grandson! " Zhang Hu raised his head and roared.
"You want to be afraid!" Zhang Liao looked at him with disdain. "Is Xu Sheng's troops here?"
"General, General Xu Sheng has arrived."
"Good. Zhang Hu, weren't you going to attack the city? Good, I will give you this opportunity! "
