Chapter 308 Sun Quan surrenders Nanjun and sets off to find Cao Pi

When the rising and falling screams sounded, it was the moment when all the Wu troops on the entire front collapsed.

The people who were lying down obediently just now stretched their heads to understand the situation, jumped up and ran as fast as they could, amidst the sound of the countdown on the boat, running towards Yiling City and Xiling City.

The Supervisory Team? The Supervisory Team has all been reimbursed at this time, and Xiling City has even seen a large area running away towards Yiling Road.

After Lu Xun saw the explosive outcome of the Supervisory Team at the top of the city, he sat down on the top of the city with his legs weak.

The army was defeated like a mountain. What's more, this was not just a defeat, it was a massacre. Even if Lu Xun had the talent, he knew that if he was given an army of 100,000 people who were not afraid of death, he would only end up with 100,000 people dying on this river bank.

"Naihe! Naihe!"

Dozens of preparatory tugboats and speedboats following the big ship finally began to serve as landing ships, and this also gave Zhang Fei and Liu Bei a wake-up call.

That is, although troop transport ships are large, they are not as good as ordinary boats for landing operations. They transport soldiers by water and need more landing craft.

Hundreds of soldiers from Shu disembarked from the ship at a time, and quickly jumped into the river and landed on the shore. Then they gathered in the direction of Yiling City and Xiling City. Fortunately, they stayed at the dock without having to swim in the water.

Zhang Fei also followed the first group of soldiers who landed. The speedboat drove to a small pier and disembarked, then quickly ran towards Yiling City, which was more than a thousand meters away.

Xiling City was quickly captured by Xu Jing. After efforts to persuade Yiling to surrender failed, Zhang Fei used a shipborne radio repeater to contact Liu Bei who was resting in Zigui.

With the arrival of the gyroplane and two rockets falling from the sky, Lu Xun finally could not withstand the pressure and asked the soldiers in the city to open their doors and surrender.

By the time Liu Bei received the letter and came over by helicopter from Zigui, the shore was already full of Wu soldiers, collecting the corpses under the supervision of the Shu army.

Lu Xun was tied up with his hands by the angry Zhang Fei, and he knelt down next to him. Zhang Fei really hated Lu Xun. In addition to the old feud with Guan Yu, there was also this guy's stubborn resistance that caused him to be nearly half an hour slower than Xu Jing.

Looking at the Z-8 transport plane in the sky, Lu Xun's calm heart became confused again. After dealing with Liu Bei and Guan Yu, he also began to worry about Liu Bei's settlement in the future.

After the helicopter landed, Liu Bei jumped off the plane, walked quickly to Lu Xun, and looked at it carefully.

"Sir, I have admired you for a long time. You are resourceful and a rare talent in the world. Would you like to serve as a minister of the Han Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, a certain lord is the Marquis of Wu. Today, he is the Emperor of Wei who abdicated as Emperor Xian. He is still a minister of the Han Dynasty. How can he be appointed?"

The directness of Liu Bei's speech made Lu Xun a little confused. He snorted and rejected Liu Bei without any mercy. He could see that under Liu Bei's hypocritical mask, he had no intention of accepting him, but he also had no intention of killing him.

"Is that called abdication by Cao Pi? That's called usurping the throne! From the moment he took away the treasure, this big man no longer dedicated himself to the emperor.

I am the one to whom destiny belongs. I ask you, do you mean that Wu Hou is not my subject? Wu Hou’s retainers are not subjects of the Han Dynasty?"

"If I don't have this intention, Your Majesty, I will not take up an official position. In any case, Emperor Xian is still alive."

Liu Bei looked directly at Lu Xun, and then shook his head. Lu Xun was a talent, but it was not necessary. Guan Yu's death was also done by Sun Quan. There is an injustice and a debtor. If he wants to be loyal to Sun Quan, let him be loyal.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't force you.

But you should have met Yan Zhen, right? I have already informed him and asked you to withdraw your troops, why don't you withdraw?"

"Your Majesty, if someone has the same method and asks you to give up Yong'an without telling you or letting you see it, will you do it?"

Lu Xun's speechlessness was clearly written on his face. If he were an ordinary person, he would be embarrassed by this. Unfortunately, he met Liu Bei, who abandoned his wife and son to fight for his country.

"If it were me, I would seriously consider it and ask questions clearly. It's not okay for your Yan Zhen to just leave without asking questions clearly.

I originally arranged a rocket shooting exercise yesterday to let him feel what my confidence is and how I managed to capture Jiang'an in three days.

But you see, he was in a hurry to come back, and what happened today is that these soldiers did not have to die on the battlefield. They are all my people, and it was you who harmed them."

"..."

Lu Xun looked at Liu Bei and was speechless. Everything was their fault. How could the Liu family be so consistent...

"I appreciate you and your loyalty very much. In this way, I will give you another chance. I will stop at Yiling to rest today.

Tomorrow we will attack Dangyang from the land route. Now you can take a fast boat and report along the way to withdraw the troops and give way to Nanjun.

I only give you this chance. If there are still people in Nanjun who show their swords against my army in two days, I will destroy them first and then station them without warning!"

"Your Majesty! The sun will certainly not be able to stop His Majesty's rockets, but mass killing is against the benevolence of a benevolent king. Your Majesty, please think deeply.

Besides, two days is too late. Please give your Majesty some more time. I believe that Marquis Wu will definitely give your Majesty a satisfactory answer."

When Lu Xun heard Liu Bei's words, he said in disbelief that he really didn't expect that Liu Bei would give them a chance to breathe and negotiate peace.

Is it because Liu Bei’s rockets are not in large numbers? Or is it because Liu Bei’s logistics cannot keep up?

"Since you think two days are not enough, how many days are enough?"

"Ten days, no no, seven days, seven days is enough."

Lu Xun also knew that Liu Bei could not give them too much time to wait, so he said quickly, but Liu Bei was obviously very dissatisfied.

"I am only asking you to vacate Nanjun in two days, not Jingzhou. In this way, after two days, I will send people to garrison the cities of Nanjun, and the soldiers who are still in the cities of Nanjun must surrender.

All rebels must either withdraw from Nanjun or surrender and accept reorganization. This point is not negotiable. Within seven days, bring me the Han soldiers and Wei generals you have captured in the past two years.

Now go and deliver the message. By the way, let Sun Quan come to Jiangling to accept my conferment in person, and bring 10,000 catties of gold. As long as he obeys, the King of Wu will still be his.

Otherwise, I will use that flying thing in the sky to bombard Sun Quan’s lair, and then capture all the places in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, how can I let him choose?”

After Liu Bei finished speaking unceremoniously, he turned around and left. Lu Xun even called him several times but refused to respond and looked towards the river with a sigh.

Next to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Xu Jing, who had been following silently, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty! Why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, directly capture Yidao and the Public Security Bureau, and then attack Ezhou directly?"

"Yes, my lord, it is taboo to let a tiger return to the mountains. Besides, will Sun Quan really be obedient and come to see you?"

Liu Bei heard the two people asking, stopped and looked at them.

"Yide, Wenxiu, you must remember that it is good to attack the enemy with troops and defeat the enemy's troops without fighting.

Our ammunition is not free. A day's operation of a troop transport will cost millions of dollars. If you can save a little, then it is a little.

There is still Cao Pi who needs to attack later. It will take energy to divide the troops to attack Wu and Wei. After taking over the territory, we will need more talents to transform it. We need to station troops for training and rest for a while.

At the same time, let the news of today’s war spread to the entire Wu army, so that they can open the city and surrender as soon as the rockets are launched, or even without them being launched.”

After Liu Bei explained, he turned and left. The reason why he didn't let Yan Zhen see the drill in advance was because people only know how to be afraid when they are hurt.

As for bringing it to Sun Quan, Liu Bei believed that Sun Quan would take it seriously. The reason was that for Sun Quan, holding Nanjun was actually useless.

Shu Han came up with a very crazy idea, but if he tried his best to deal with Shu Han, Cao Pi would fuck him again, which would put him under a lot of pressure, but who would throw away the meat in his mouth?

So when Liu Bei captured Nanjun, Sun Quan could let it go. To the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms, the gains and losses of one city or one place were nothing. They were like three brothers fighting for family property. No matter how their flesh rotted, it all rotted in their own pots.

After Zhang Fei and Xu Jing figured it out, they also understood, but Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Xu Jing.

"That's not right, Wenxiu, did your Majesty just say that we will attack Dangyang tomorrow?"

"Yes, Yiling Road can lead to Dangyang. There are several small roads. You can go there by boat or through a narrow bridge."

"You know, from Dangyang up is Xiangyang, eh?

Your Majesty asked Lu Xun and others to give up Nanjun, but there is still a part of Nanjun in the hands of Cao Pi's milk boy."

Zhang Fei's words made Xu Jing's eyes light up. This was a good opportunity to gain military exploits. They might not have the chance to fight like this in the future.

"How about we ask His Majesty later?"

"It's not a question, it's a request for a fight. Didn't you see that His Majesty has been talking about the Public Security Bureau and Jiangling? This shows that His Majesty has not thought about a ceasefire on land.

As long as we lead the army to fight there, there are plenty of ways to break through the city, and then we can take credit for recovering Nanjun, hehehe."

"Okay, Yide, you are really attentive. We will ask for a fight when His Majesty holds a meeting."

The two generals hit it off immediately, and it didn't matter to them whether continuing the Northern Expedition after attacking Dangyang would anger Cao Pi and allow Wu and Wei to unite.

They even wished that both parties would come together and strangle them together.

Lu Xun, who was traveling along the river, finally arrived at the police station in the evening. Along the way, he conveyed orders to each guard to give up resistance and retreat directly.

But obviously, this was useless, because although Sun Quan gave him the right to command the battle, it was impossible for them to agree to give up resistance and abandon the defense of the city, not to mention that not everyone in the Wu army obeyed him.

In the public security city, Zhuge Jin and Zhou Yin received Lu Xun together. They didn't know what happened ahead.

Pan Yang, who sent the message in advance, was killed by the speedboat soldiers looking for a way and the scout who was used as the messenger.

"Tzuyu, as well as Gongtai, my lord also said at first that if the Shu army is strong, they can abandon Nanjun and other places and separate them by the river."

"But if the Shu army is as strong as you said, how could it be possible that it would only settle for Nanjun?

I'm afraid the next step is for us to withdraw from Jingzhou, and the next step is to give up Yangzhou, right?

They are planning to attack Dangyang, which shows that they are not afraid of city defense and will even fight the Wei army soon. This is also our opportunity.

Two gentlemen, we have to retreat again and again. There is no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death!"

After all, he is a young man, and Zhou Yin is obviously much more passionate. The main reason is that he has never personally experienced the joy of shooting with rocket launchers and rifles, so he feels that even if he cannot be beaten, he can still run away.

However, Zhou Yin also asked a question that Zhuge Jin and Lu Xun were unwilling to face. Liu Bei only asked them to evacuate Nanjun within seven days, but did not say that they would stop the capture. The next step would definitely be to plan for Jingzhou.

"Gongtai, do you think it's useful to stick to it? That's because you haven't seen it at all.

You don’t know that their rockets can fall from the sky, and you don’t know that their guns can shoot a mile! You don’t know!

We are just asking them to spend more money. Liu Bei is funded by the mysterious Ming Empire, so he is not short of money at all!"

If it weren't for his respect for Zhou Yu and Zhou Yu was dead, Lu Xun would have wanted to slap Zhou Yin.

"One more day of garrisoning can give Wu Hou an extra moment, and we, Wu Hou, can have an extra moment to deploy."
