Chapter 1918 urgent fire attack
Ding Feng begged Ding Feng to leave the river bank, but Ding Feng had made up his mind and let Ding Feng persuade him, he was determined. Ding Feng asked Ding Feng and Sun Yi to lead a part of the army to Jianye and escort the Lord of Wu Sun Xiu to leave Jianye. Ding Feng led the remaining Wu army to retreat to the last line of defense of the shore defense fortifications, preparing to fight to the death with the Wei army there.
Ding Feng and Sun Yi could not persuade Ding Feng, so he had to leave Jiang'an and return to Jianye. However, they did not enter the city, but rushed south to Kuaiji. They could see the situation in front of them very clearly. It was only a matter of a moment for the Wei army to break through Jiang's defense. If they returned to Jianye City at this time, it would be almost impossible for them to leave.
Therefore, when the disaster was approaching, Ding Feng did not care about the instructions of his brother Ding Feng, but instead abandoned the country and fled. He would not be like Ding Feng and saved his life. That is the most important thing.
Ding Feng didn't know his younger brother Ding Feng's intention to fight, but for him, no matter what happened, it was no longer important, because the Wei soldiers had already swarmed in and launched an attack on the last line of defense, and the soldiers around Ding Feng were already Liao Ruochenxing.
This was a battle without any suspense. Dante Feng was not afraid. He waved his blood-stained sword and walked towards the battlefield generously...
……………………………………………………………………
On the main hall of the Wu Kingdom, the morning court just ended. Today is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. According to convention, the Wu Lord set up a banquet in the palace and invited all officials to have a banquet. Therefore, after the morning court, the civil and military officials did not retreat, but stayed in the palace and waited for the banquet.
This convention has been maintained for many years. This Little New Year banquet is also the hard-working thanks from Lord Wu to the ministers in Jiangdong. In fact, there are often only a handful of ministers who can attend this banquet. Therefore, being able to attend this banquet proves that they have a place in the political arena of the Wu Kingdom. Many ministers of the Wu Kingdom are eager to be ranked among them. As for what to eat and drink, they are actually not important.
But there is one exception, that is Ding Feng, the governor of the Left General Jianye. He politely rejected the invitation of Lord Wu Sun Xiu and stood firm in his position. This made Sun Xiu feel quite pleased. In front of the ministers, he sighed: "General Ding is really a model of the country. With General Ding in charge of the river, I and all my beloved ministers will be worried."
The civil and military officials in Jiangdong below felt very uncomfortable when they heard this. Ding Feng was a role model if he didn't come to the banquet. So what were our people who came to the banquet? Sun Xiu defeated the crowd.
Fortunately, Sun Xiu is the emperor, and no one dares to refute Sun Xiu's face. If someone else was the host and said something like this offending the guests, I'm afraid that most of the people who left the table would be able to leave.
Sun Xiu praised Ding Feng for his professionalism, but he did not expect that the ministers below would complain invisibly. During this period, Sun Xiu was worried and overworked, and his illness had never been cured.
However, the end of the year is approaching, and there is no movement on the Wei army. Ding Feng is in charge on the river bank, doing his best to do his best and being as stable as a rock, which makes Sun Xiu feel much better. Today, the ministers are in a big banquet, and Sun Xiu is also in a much better mood.
Just as they raised their glasses and drank happily, the palace servant suddenly came to report: "Report to Your Majesty, General Li Wu Chen Dai was looking for a meeting outside the hall."
Sun Xiu couldn't help but frowned slightly. Didn't Chen Dai follow Ding Feng to work on the river bank? Why did he suddenly return to the palace at this time? Could it be that something happened on the river bank?
Immediately, Sun Xiu ordered Chen Dai to come to the hall. Chen Dai almost ran all the way to the hall. After entering the hall, he was breathing slightly and bowed to Sun Xiu: "I heard from Your Majesty, my naval fleet has been defeated. Jiang Fang is in a hurry. Governor Ding specially ordered the minister to report to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to quickly move the capital to avoid it. The sudden change will occur."
Sun Xiu was immediately shocked and his face changed drastically, as pale as paper, and said in a lost voice: "What? The navy was defeated, Jiang Fang was in a hurry, what... what happened? Our Eastern Wu navy was invincible in the world, so how could it be defeated in one go?"
Chen Dai said: "Your Majesty, every word of truth is that it is not the Wei fleet that defeated our naval fleet, but the Wei people created a giant catapult that could drive flying stones from the north shore to the south shore. There were hundreds of them, and our navy could not resist them. Most of the warships were destroyed, and the river surface was controlled by the Wei army. Therefore, Governor Ding ordered his ministers to come and report to His Majesty. The Wei army immediately arrived at Jianye City and asked His Majesty to leave the palace quickly and avoid the edge."
When Sun Xiu was asking, he stood up. After listening to Chen Dai's explanation, he suddenly became listless, his eyes were dissipated, his face was ashes, and he muttered to himself: "I lost... I actually lost... I finished... I was completely finished..."
As he said that, Sun Xiu was so angry that he vomited a large mouthful of blood. He leaned back and fell to the ground. The eunuch behind him was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he held him in one hand. Otherwise, if he fell back and fell down like this, he would not know what would happen.
"Your Majesty—" the ministers were shocked and exclaimed.
The scene of the banquet that was so happy just now suddenly changed. The left prime minister Zhang Bu and the right prime minister Puyang Xing rushed forward to check Sun Xiu's situation.
After Sun Xiu vomited a large mouthful of blood, he was already in a coma. Zhang Bu quickly told the imperial physician to go to the hall. After the imperial physician arrived, he looked embarrassed after he had been diagnosed and treated.
Zhang Bu asked, "Doctor He, how is Your Majesty's condition?"
Doctor He's face was full of dullness and said, "Your Majesty is so anxious that he is not seriously injured. However, Your Majesty has been in a bad state recently and his illness is in a serious condition. After this blow, it is probably a great disaster."
Since Sun Xiu ascended the throne, his physical condition has been not very good. Especially after the Wei army was at the city, Sun Xiu was worried about national affairs, so he was naturally worried about anger and fatigue and became ill. After suffering such a blow, it is reasonable that his condition worsened.
Zhang Bu said to Puyangxing: "Now that the Wei army has broken through the Jiang defense and is about to reach Jianye City. Governor Ding is unstoppable, and His Majesty is unconscious again. What should we do now?"
Puyang Xing pondered for a moment and said, "The enemy is strong and I am weak. You should not fight with him. It is better to move to the city first and avoid the edge of the Wei army for a while."
Zhang Bu looked anxious and said, "But in this case, can you move the capital?"
Puyang Xing did not answer, but ordered Sun Xiu to be carried into the bedroom, and ordered the eunuchs, eunuchs, and imperial physicians to serve carefully. Then Puyang Xing quietly pulled Zhang Bu up to Zhang Butong and left the hall.
