Chapter 2536: Sun Wu fought strongly against Jiangxia, Qin, Wei, Song and Wu gathered Zhangling
"Report... Report to the lord, General Chai Rong''s troops were raided by Sun Wu''s army. General Chai Rong was defeated. At present, the army has been defeated and suffered heavy losses."
"What?"
Liu Xiu, Pang Tong, Liu Ba, Liao Li and others were shocked, and Liu Xiu even roared: "Hurry, return to the army and go to support Chai Rong."
"No."
Liu Xiu''s reaction speed is extremely fast, but he is still one step slower in the end.
When Liu Xiu led his army to arrive, although Chai Rong''s army was still there, Sun Wu had already run to the West.
After some inventory, the Chu army lost 4,000 soldiers.
In addition, in the Battle of Tianping Mountain, Sun Wu''s army had killed and injured more than 7,000 Chu, but Liu Xiu didn''t even know how many people the Wu army had lost.
If the troops on both sides are of equal strength, then it is naturally nothing to lose seven thousand.
But the problem is that the Chu army''s military strength is more than four times that of the Wu army, and the elite soldiers and powerful generals are far more than that of the Wu army, and they have already surrounded the Wu army.
If you are defeated one after another by Sun Wu in this situation of winning, it would be a bit outrageous.
Looking at the corpses everywhere, Liu Xiu felt his energy and blood surging in his heart. He shouted angrily, "Sun Wu, are you the nemesis of my Liu Xiu?"
Sun Wu suffered too much, and Sun Wu was almost becoming Liu Xiu’s nightmare.
Seeing this, all the generals didn''t know how to comfort the lord.
It was originally a situation where we had a stable win, but there were accidents several times. This really shouldn''t be the case.
Now the huge losses of Chu State are that even if it completely wiped out Sun Wu''s troops, it may not be able to make up for it.
Seeing this, Chai Rong gritted his teeth and knelt down and apologized, "Lord, the last general is incompetent, he is not Sun Wu''s opponent."
After Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, he sighed, then stepped forward and helped Chai Rong up, comforting him, "This defeat is not your fault, but this king is not considering it well and underestimating the ability of Sun Wu''s thief."
Liu Xiu dared not underestimate Sun Wu. He already valued Sun Wu enough, but Sun Wu kept breaking through his expectations. Even this kind of situation of losing can be played with, which is simply too perverted.
Pang Tong walked over at this time and said with a serious look on his face: "Lord, General Chai Rong''s defeat has exposed many problems. Sun Wu is probably guessing that someone inside the Eastern Wu is leaking the secret to us, and we cannot believe all the news from the Eastern Wu in the future."
After hearing this, Liu Xiu was stunned at first, then took a breath of cold air, and finally understood why these two defeats were the ones.
Sun Wu is afraid that after Sun Ce was captured, he was already suspected of having a traitor inside. The previous ambush was to verify, while the second surprise attack was used.
But his side did not guess Sun Wu’s thoughts at all. He still thought that Sun Wu did not know all this, and he thought that he knew Sun Wu’s reality and reality, but he didn’t know that he had gradually entered the other party’s trap. How could he be invincible?
"Sun Wu is so scheming."
Liu Xiu suddenly realized the truth, and felt powerless in his heart. It was not that he was incompetent, but that Sun Wuqiang was too outrageous.
Liu Xiu felt that in the world, Bai Qi from the Qin Dynasty could face Sun Wu head-on.
"Military advisor, we can''t think of a plan, so that Sun Wu can also taste the feeling of being plotted?" Fan Kuai said with an unhappy look on his face.
When Pang Tong heard this, he smiled bitterly. It was not that he had no strategy in his heart. He proposed dozens of strategies in the blink of an eye, but the problem is that he uses a plan and depends on the target.
The same strategy is implemented on different people, and the effect is completely different.
For example, Sun Wu, not only Pang Tong, but also Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Deng Yu, Liu Ba and others, all used tricks on Sun Wu, but none of them succeeded.
As far as Pang Tong knows, except for being accidentally captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, Sun Wu seems to have never missed any strategy.
No matter who is calculating him, no matter how clever the strategy is, Sun Wu can see through it at a glance, and instead designs to plot against the other party.
Over time, the advisers of Chu State dared not plot against Sun Wu, for fear that they would fall into Sun Wu''s plan instead.
Pang Tong believed that he had strategy and outstanding strategies, but he was still helpless when facing Sun Wu, so he could only win with open and open striving.
"It''s too unrealistic to plot against Sun Wu, it''s harder than not being plotted against by Sun Wu." Liu Xiu shook his head and said.
Fan Kuai curled his lips, looking dissatisfied.
He didn''t think Sun Wu''s strategy was really so powerful, but instead thought that Pang Tong and others were not smart enough.
"It would be great if Lord Chen Ping was there. Sun Wu would definitely not be able to see through his plan." Fan Kuai said in his heart.
At this moment, Pang Tong said, "Lord, since Sun Wu has noticed the leak, he cannot let him go back alive, otherwise it may be detrimental to Sun Quan."
Liu Xiu couldn''t help but feel shocked. Sun Quan''s plan related to him could not be destroyed by Sun Wu.
"Well, the military advisor is right. Even at all costs, Sun Wu must be killed."
Liu Xiu''s eyes were full of murderous intent. After all, if Sun Wu was not dead, even if his plan could be successful, he would still face Sun Wu when he unified Jiangnan in the future. If he lost, he would still give up everything.
"In addition, we should also remind Sun Quan to clear the traces as soon as possible. It is best to find a scapegoat to prevent Sun Wu from leaving, and after going back, you will realize that it was him who did it."
Liu Xiu''s words are not wrong, but they always give people a feeling of being unconfident that Sun Wu might run away.
Pang Tong naturally saw Liu Xiu''s disconfidence and immediately comforted him:
"Lord, although our army suffered two major defeats, its advantage is still there. Its overall strength is much stronger than Sun Wu. And after learning two lessons, we will not be deceived by Sun Wu''s fake news. As long as we fight steadily, it is only a matter of time to eliminate Sun Wu''s lonely army."
Liu Xiu nodded: "What the military advisor said is very much. Military advisor said what you next, how should we fight?"
Pang Tong''s heart moved and said, "The way back to Sun Wu''s eastern territory is guarded by our army. He dared not go east, so he could only go west and south.
The Dongting Navy of Chu State was here in the south. The Wu State navy could not pass, and Sun Wu could not return to Wu State by water, so he could only go west and delay time as much as possible. ”
As soon as Pang Tong finished speaking, a spy broke in. "Report... Report to the lord, military advisor, the main force of the Eastern Wu has reached Qichun and will arrive in Zhu County soon."
Hearing this, Pang Tong and Liu Xiu looked at each other tacitly, and Liu Xiu said, "Military advisor, is Sun Ce still in Xiling?"
"It''s been gone for a long time. Shortly after Sun Wu stopped siege, Sun Ce was secretly transferred to Changsha."
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "The main force of Eastern Wu is almost here in Zhu County, and we don''t have much time left."
"Well, let''s find out the location of Sun Wu''s army first. This time, we must not give Sun Wu another opportunity."
"Just do as the military advisor said."
A few hours later, the Chu State responded to the report and reported: "Lord, according to the traces of the march, Sun Wu''s army was divided into three routes and retreated westward to Yunmengze."
Listening to this, Liu Xiu instinctively felt that he was cheating. It was not that he was afraid of Sun Wu''s plot, but that there were many lakes and rivers in Yunmengze, which were very suitable for naval forces.
At present, the Pengze naval army of Wu has been blocked by the Yunmengze naval army of Chu, and cannot pass the Red Cliff at all.
On the contrary, the State of Chu was able to separate out some of the naval forces to cooperate with the Chu army on the way to search for the Wu army, and the water advancement was obviously more advantageous.
And if Sun Wu goes west and continues to penetrate deeper into the hinterland of Jingzhou, he will be getting further and further away from Zhu County.
By then, even if the main force of the Wu army arrives in Zhu County, it will not be easy to rescue Sun Wu. After all, if Xiling City is not compromised, the Wu army will not dare to cross Xiling City.
Sun Wu could not put himself in danger, so Liu Xiu instinctively felt that there must be something tricky about it.
However, in addition to walking westward and continuing to go deeper alone, Sun Wu''s army also wanted to experience a second siege, otherwise there seemed to be no other way to escape.
"This time, we should focus on stability, and we must never let Sun Wu escape again." Liu Xiu said strongly.
In this way, Liu Xiu and Sun Wu started a fierce game with Yunmengze as the battlefield.
Liu Xiu''s command not only includes famous generals such as Cao Shen, Chai Rong, and Li Xin, but also many powerful generals such as Chong Heihu, Fan Kuai, and Gan Ning.
On the other hand, there is no general under Sun Wu who can lead the army alone except himself. Although the powerful generals include Zhou Tai and Ling Tong, they are obviously not on the same level as the generals of the Chu army.
Sun Wu could only rely on himself, and he was fighting the entire Chu State alone.
This is a completely asymmetric war, and the Chu army is much stronger than the Wu army.
In addition to Wu and Chu, the three coalition forces of Qin, Wei and Song dynasties stationed in Zhangling County are also paying attention to this battle with huge differences in strength, but the news received exceeds everyone''s expectations.
"Two generals, I heard the latest news from Huang Feihu that Sun Wu from the south has won the battle again." Zhao Defang said with a mysterious look on his face.
"After Sun Wu retreated into the Yunmeng Ze territory, there were constant battles of all sizes and big and small, and his troops were probably lost nearly half, and he had nowhere to replenish his troops and food. Even if he could win a battle, he would still win a small victory and would not hurt the fundamentals of Chu." Yuan Chonghuan analyzed.
"That''s amazing, too. Tell me, who did you win this time? Li Xin? Or Cao Shen?" Cao Bin asked with anticipation.
"None of them, Liu Xiu lost this time." Zhao Defang smiled.
"What? Liu Xiu was defeated again? How many times has this been defeated by Sun Wu?" Yuan Chonghuan said.
"I have been in Lujiang County once before, this is the second time." Cao Binhuang said.
"Your Highness, let me tell you what''s going on." Yuan Chonghuan said.
"Liu Xiu encircled Sun Wu with four times his strength... As a result, Sun Wu killed him in shame, losing nearly 2,000 troops. Moreover, even Chong Heihu, the former Chu State''s No. 1 strong general, was severely damaged and had to retreat again."
After hearing what Zhao Defang said, Yuan Chonghuan and Cao Bin took a breath. They could win this situation of losing. Sun Wu was simply amazing.
If you think carefully, from Sun Wu leading his own army into Jiangxia and moving to Yunmengze, he has experienced twelve battles of all sizes and big and small, winning nine battles, and three more times were tied.
How did Sun Wu achieve this level when there were few soldiers and few generals, the strength difference between the enemy and us was huge, and there was no supply?
Anyway, Cao Bin and Yuan Chonghuan asked themselves that they would never be able to do it.
"Tsk tsk, Liu Xiu was so embarrassed this time." Zhao Defang said with a gloating look on his face.
Since they arrived in Zhangling, they have been confronting each other except confronting the Chu army, and have never fought a battle at all. They are so bored that they chat about the situation on other battlefields every day to relieve their boredom.
Among the four major battlefields of Shangyong, Jiangling, Yangpingguan and Yunmengze, the one that makes everyone talk the most is Yunmengze battlefield. Sun Wu''s formation command ability simply amazing them.
"It is true that Liu Xiu is embarrassed, but Sun Wu should have reached the limit. If he continues to fight, he will definitely be wiped out." Yuan Chonghuang said lightly.
"That''s right." Cao Bin nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Huang Feihu walked in, joined the conversation between the crowd, and said, "After this defeat, Liu Xiu decided to transfer Wei Zhang to suppress Sun Wu."
"Deng Yu was defeated in the battle, Jiangling was besieged, and Liu Xiu did not withdraw his troops from Zhangling, but now he wants to withdraw Wei Zhang and suppress Sun Wu. It seems that Sun Wu has really angered Liu Xiu. He must destroy Sun Wu at any cost." Yuan Chonghuan said.
"Sun Wu is afraid this time is in danger." Huang Feihu sighed softly.
Everyone nodded. After all, if Wei Zhang moves, it is impossible for General Sun to have a way out if he faces more than ten times the enemy he faces.
But what everyone never expected was that they were slapped in the face the next day. Not only was Sun Wu not wiped out by the Chu army, but he also escaped to Zhang Ling.
Sun Wu had long guessed that he even deliberately stimulated Liu Xiu and asked him to transfer Wei Zhang from the north to the south, because only in this way could he go north and return with the three coalition forces of Qin, Wei and Song.
Sun Wu knew from the beginning that he could not return to Lujiang by land or to Jiangdong by water.
The reason why he went deep into the west seemed to be a dead end, but in fact he was to put him in death and his goal was Zhangling County at the beginning.
As long as you can arrive in Zhangling County and join the three-nation coalition forces of the Qin, Wei and Song dynasties, it will naturally be safe if you have the three-nation coalition forces in the Wu army.
