Chapter 1987 The situation is grim

The reason why Chaisang Pass is dangerous is that it occupies the danger of mountains and lakes. Now that the lake is dangerous, Chaisang Pass has only become an ordinary small town that cannot be more ordinary.

More importantly, the people's hearts were dispersed. The miserable defeat of the Wu navy in the middle of the lake had spread throughout the Chaisang Pass. The soldiers guarding the city were panicked and the army had no fighting spirit. In this case, how could they resist the strong attack launched by the Wei army? Before they could persist until dark, the Chaisang Pass was captured by the Wei army. The Wu army scattered and fled to their own lives.

Lu Shi wanted to stick to Chaisang Pass, but his soldiers were not strong enough to resist the Wei army's strong attack.

Although the Tunqi Battalion was a heavily armored cavalry, when she got off the horse, she was also a powerful infantry urging the city to pull out the village. Their combat effectiveness was far from comparable to that of the weak Wu army, which was weak and distant. After the Tunqi Battalion launched a strong attack, it took less than an hour to attack the city of Chaisang Pass and opened the city gate. Then the Wei army rushed in, and Chaisang Pass immediately announced the change of ownership.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Lu Shi gave up the idea of ​​living and dying with the city, and fled out of Chaisang Pass with his confidants and fled towards Wuchang.

The Wei army did not pursue it. After all, the Tunqi Camp that had just attacked Chaisang was just light infantry, and their war horses and armor were still placed in the camp on the east bank of Pengze Lake. If Shi Bao had cavalry now, Lu Shi would not have the chance to escape.

Lu Shi left Chaisang, fearing that the Wei army would chase him, so he rode his horse all the way, traveling starry night and sleeping in the wind and in the open air. Finally, he fled to Wuchang, knelt in front of Lu Kang, and cried about the details of the defeat.

"What? Bu Chan died in battle and the entire fleet was destroyed?" After hearing this, Lu Kang opened his eyes wide open, his face full of shock.

Compared to the loss of Chaisang Pass, Lu Kang was more concerned about the survival of his naval fleet. Unexpectedly, in the battle of Pengze Lake, the entire Wuchang naval army was destroyed, and even the chief general Bu Chan was buried in the lake. This result was really unacceptable to Lu Kang.

Chaisang is the gateway to Wuchang, and the naval fleet is the pillar of Lu Kang. But now the pillar has collapsed and the gate has opened. Wuchang is already surrounded by enemies, and Jiji is in danger.

Bu Xie was even more heartbroken and very angry. Bu Chan was his younger brother, but unexpectedly died in the battlefield. Although he said that no one could die in a war, Bu Xie was really unacceptable to the bad news.

Only Shi Ji's expression was cold and he looked thoughtful.

After learning the details of the Battle of Chaisang, Lu Kang ordered Lu Shi to take him to rest. Lu Shi ran around for a while, almost never even closed his eyes. He looked extremely depressed. He also tried all his strength to arrive at Wuchang as quickly as possible and informed Lu Kang and others of the news of Chaisang's loss. This would also allow Lu Kang and others to prepare for early defense.

After all, after Chaisang lost, the Wei army's next attack target would be Wuchang.

Lu Kang did not intend to hold Lu Shi responsible for escape in the last battle. Of course, this was not because Lu Shi was his nephew. The main reason was that Chaisang's loss was actually caused by the defeat of the navy. Without the navy as a protector, Chaisangguan would not be able to defend it. Lu Kang and Shi Ji and others were more aware of this. Therefore, the responsibility for the loss of Chaisangguan was not at all on Lu Shi, so there was no need to hold him accountable.

What Lu Kang and the others have to deal with now is the difficult situation facing Jingzhou. The situation in Jingzhou was originally pretty good, with the dangerous Yangtze River in the north and the Chaisang Portal in the east. Although the Wei army captured Yangzhou, Lu Kang also had the territory of eleven counties in Jingzhou. The land was dangerous and the strong soldiers, and the food was sufficient, so he still had the power to fight with the Wei army.

However, the fall of Chaisang and the destruction of the navy army made Lu Kang, who felt the optimistic situation, get hit by the head. What made him most sad was the destruction of the navy fleet. The navy was almost the only cornerstone of the Jingzhou army and the only capital for Jingzhou to compete with the Wei army. Without the navy, the Qianli River Defense of Jingzhou would be in vain. The Wei army could easily cross the river. In addition to the navy, the gap between the Wu army and the Wei army in terms of land warfare was simply a difference.

Faced with such a situation, can Lu Kang not have a headache?

The news that Sun Hao was killed by the Shanyue people in Jian'an came, and the Wu Kingdom was "destroyed" again. Due to the blockade of the news, Lu Kang and others did not know that Liu Ping had supported Sun Hao's eldest son Sun Jin as the emperor. Because after Liu Ping established a new court, he swept the local people of the Hou Guan to Yizhou, and even the person who sent the message was not left. Yizhou and Jian'an County were separated by the vast sea. Liu Ping's trip was naturally deserted.

Jingzhou once again fell into a state of unparalleled power. Originally, Lu Kang and Shi Ji and Bu Xie were discussing whether to start the throne ceremony that had been put on hold before, or let Sun Feng be the emperor to support Wu Si.

The country cannot be without a king for a day. When Sun Hao was in power, although he had no chance to rule Jingzhou, Jingzhou used his reign and respected him as the emperor. In fact, it was just a symbol of spirit, so that the military and civilians of Jingzhou would not have a sense of belonging.

But with Sun Hao's death, Jingzhou was already in a state of unparalleled state, and the people were in panic. Lu Kang and the others had to find ways to stabilize the overall situation.

The most effective way is to restart the previous operation of establishing the king and still let Sun Feng be the emperor.

However, Lu Kang and Shi Ji and Bu Xiezheng discussed this matter and had not conducted substantial operations yet, the news of Chaisang's loss came.

Now Jingzhou is facing the invasion of the Wei army, and the most urgent task is to quickly rectify its military equipment and prepare for the battle. As for the crowning ceremony of this new king, it may only be carried out after the suppression.

However, if the new king is not established, the morale of the army and the people in Jingzhou will inevitably be further disintegrated, especially in the current situation of such a great enemy.

Once the news of Chaisang's loss spreads, Jingzhou will inevitably fall into panic. In addition, Jingzhou has no owners, and the situation will inevitably become out of control.

As the highest military commander in Jingzhou, Lu Kang was helpless in this situation. It was really difficult. In such a situation where the building was almost over, even if Lu Kang was capable, he could not turn the tide. After all, he was a person, not a god.

Chaisang Pass was originally the place where Lu Kang was most confident in resisting the attack of the Wei army. As long as he could defend Chaisang Pass, the situation in Jingzhou would have a turning point. But now with the loss of Chaisang, the situation in Jingzhou has completely fallen into an unsolvable death. It is difficult for Lu Kang to turn the tables against the wind.

At this time, Shi Ji, who had been silent, said quietly: "I have a plan, don't you know whether to talk or not?"
