Chapter 1502 The wise Sun Shao Soochow also has old foxes(1/2)
Liu Yuzhao's personal commander shocked the whole world.
The most shocking thing was Dongwu.
Dongwu had already received such news in advance and was a little prepared. However, whether it was the people of Dongwu or the ruling class, they subconsciously believed that there was a high possibility that Emperor Shenwu would not be in charge of the commander-in-chief.
The dark side of human nature has a fact that you want to avoid unacceptable.
The Eastern Wu did not want to face Emperor Shenwu.
You should know that the last time Emperor Shenwu came to the south was when he was conquering Jingzhou. At that time, there were allies like Liu Bei who could share some pressure.
What happened? Liu Yu didn't even put in much effort, so he beat Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and Liu Bei to the point of being beaten.
If Zhou Yu hadn't come up with a plan to cross the river with iron ropes, the entire Jiangdong might have been pushed by Liu Jun.
Most people in the Eastern Wu dare not underestimate the power of Emperor Shenwu's personal expedition. Cao Cao was awesome enough. In the end, he was defeated by Liu Yu. Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, the country of Tianfu, with more soldiers and sufficient food, and had a steep terrain. What was the result? He died at Liu Yu's hands.
Now the separatist force of Eastern Wu is the only one left in the world. Sun Ce was also known as Gong Jianguo before, and he slapped Liu Yu in the face. Liu Yu didn't say that it would be impossible.
I thought that Sima Yi and Pang Tong's fierce attack on the Eastern Wu were already considered a statement from the Shenwu court. I didn't expect that it was Liu Yu who was in charge of the army. This joke is a bit big.
When the news reached Dongwu, the core group of Dongwu was a little scared.
Liu Yu's edict of attack had arrived in Eastern Wu, and Zhang Zhao had just finished reading the content of the edict.
Sun Shao, who temporarily took over his father's position, was still a young child in the grade. At this time, he felt a huge pressure on him.
It was not just Sun Shao and Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, Lu Xun and others all had their faces ashen.
"Everyone, now Emperor Shenwu is commanding a million troops to personally lead the army. How should our Wu Kingdom deal with it?" Sun Shao is young, but he has seen how his father handles things. He said one or two words appropriately.
When he heard about the millions of troops, many officials in the hall turned pale.
When Lu Su heard this, he stood up and said, "Young Master, the Shenwu court has a vast border, and all the places need to guard the troops. In addition, Yizhou Xinding, heavy troops must be stationed. It is a courageous move to claim that it is a million."
Fake, all the millions of troops are fake. Lu Su and many wise men know this very well, just to scare some timid people in the Eastern Wu territory.
"Fake it? Liu Yu is the emperor, how could he tell lies?" Sun Shao still didn't believe it.
In his consciousness, the emperor's words are just as good as he can't pursue them. How could he tell lies?
Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao shook their heads secretly. Sun Shao was good at everything, but they were too young. It is true that Liu Yu was the emperor. But this guy often didn't regard himself as an emperor. He was just a big deal in Liu Yu's eyes.
Think about it, how many princes in the world believed Liu Yu's nonsense and were killed. Even the act of assassinating the other leader could be done, so what kind of integrity does Liu Yu have?
Some officials even shouted in their hearts: "Young master, you are still young, don't be deceived by that guy Liu Yu."
To be honest, many people were a little disappointed with Sun Shao.
Lu Su explained: "The Shenwu court fought one after another, the national treasury was empty and the soldiers were exhausted. Liu Yu could only take advantage of the troops at most about 100,000. Of course, this does not include Sima Yi and Pang Tong's two troops who confronted our army. The emperor went to war, and his army would be strong. But the Shenwu court could not produce so many troops, so he could only pretend to be a false statement."
"Oh, so that's it!" Sun Shao understood it, and then said: "Actually, I think that Emperor Shenwu really led a million troops to come, which is a good thing for our army."
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked. It would be a good thing if the other party had a million troops.
When Lu Su and Lu Xun heard this, their eyes showed light.
Bu Zhi, a wise man from the Eastern Wu, came out with a little panic and said, "Young Master, don't joke about state affairs. Liu Yu has a million troops and can directly siege our country."
Yu Fan even said directly: "Where is the hope that the enemy will have more troops?"
Some people in the Eastern Wu were scared by Liu Yu, and Bu Zhi and Yu Fan were such people.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong figured out what Sun Shao thought and smiled on their faces.
The same is true for Zhuge Jin.
However, they did not explain, and they wanted Sun Shao to say it himself.
Sun Shao said in confusion: "Is our army so easy to be broken by the Liu army? Our army has natural dangers in the Yangtze River. And think about it. If the Liu army is a million troops coming, then how much food and grass will be consumed in a day when eating horses. At this time, it is time to stop the green and yellow. When they have finished all the food and grass, wouldn't it be destroyed without attacking?"
After a while, the officials of the Eastern Wu who were a little dissatisfied with Sun Shao just now were stunned.
Did Sun Shao say this at this age? It’s impossible! He is so young that he can see this, he is simply a monster.
Then I thought about it that Sun Ce was a monster when he was very young. Sun Shao was Sun Ce's biological son, so it was normal to be like a monster.
"Young master is wise!" Lu Su, Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others all came out to compliment Sun Shao.
Lu Su, Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong were very satisfied with Sun Shao. Sun Shao had such insights at a young age. With a little training, he would definitely be the wise ruler of Eastern Wu in the future. As long as he survived this time and woke Sun Ce and Zhou Yu up, the future of Eastern Wu will be bright.
What else is there for a force to be happier than having a very good heir?
After being praised, Sun Shao's little face was a little red.
"It's a pity that I can only think about it." Sun Shao turned around and said, "Since Liu's army does not have a million troops, how will our army deal with it next?"
When asked, it is time for Lu Su and Lu Xun.
Lu Su looked around for a week and found that the officials present were more energetic than when they just received Liu Yu's command in person.
"It seems that the eldest son's words and deeds gave them some confidence." Lu Su was very calm.
Lu Su bowed and said to Sun Shao: "Young Master, my Wu Kingdom currently has more than 100,000 troops! I am not afraid of Liu Yu's command in person!"
"There are so many!" Sun Shao was very happy when he heard that there were so many soldiers. "Our army is not at a disadvantage in terms of number of people! He is really not afraid of Liu Yu."
But he thought too simple about the relationship between the number of soldiers and combat effectiveness.
"Young Master is wise." Lu Su could only follow Sun Shao's words and continued: "I discussed a plan with Lu Boyan. I can completely withstand Liu Jun's attack and ensure that my Wu Kingdom is foolproof!"
Sun Shao had a simple mind and said directly: "Please talk about it in detail."
Lu Su was a little embarrassed.
It’s not that he doesn’t say it, but that in such a situation, he really can’t say it.
There are so many people present, if they tell them all, they will definitely be revealed. Lu Su is really clear about the nature of the officials from the Eastern Wu family.
Now, many officials from the Eastern Wu family are already pricking their ears.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong naturally understood that Sun Shao's words were making things difficult for Lu Su.
Zhang Hong smiled and said, "I and Zibu have also seen the plan of Zijing and Bo Yan. It is better to wait for a while, and I and others are telling the lord in detail."
Sun Shao listened to Zhang Hong's words and said, "Okay."
Zhang Zhao took the opportunity to speak out: "Young Master, the first thing is to determine the person who presides over the army first. From my perspective, Zijing has always been calm, and Boyan is resourceful and young and promising, and can be the chief and deputy commander of our army."
Sun Shao felt it made sense, so he said, "Lu Zijing is powerful and calm, and can be the head coach! Lu Boyan is the deputy!"
"Young master wise!" Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong immediately bowed.
The speed was so fast that Lu Su and Lu Xun could not react. There were officials from aristocratic families who opened their mouths even widened.
Sun Shao is young, but he can understand that the only people he can use now are Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong will not joke about Dongwu. Sun Shao can see that Lu Su and Lu Xun are outstanding people.
"Then Lord Lu and Lord Lu, I will hand over the important task of fighting against Liu Jun to both of you." Sun Shao said to Lu Su and Lu Xun with a serious face.
Lu Su and Lu Xun bowed directly and said in unison: "We will definitely live up to the expectations of the young master."
The others could only echo Lu Su and Lu Xun's words and shouted that the young master was wise.
After confirming the person who was in charge of military affairs, Zhang Zhao proposed to leave the meeting, and Sun Shao of course agreed.
Except for core figures like Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin and others who were left behind, the rest of the civil and military officials left the table.
Those who stayed were absolutely loyal to Sun Ce and Sun Shao. Lu Su was relieved now and said, "Young Master, everyone, I have the plan with Bo Yan like this."
Lu Su told him about the plan he had discussed with Lu Xun.
First, Zhou Tai and Jiang Xin each led 10,000 troops to station troops in Yuzhang County, Ding Feng led the only 5,000 cavalry of the Eastern Wu to break into Chaisang County, and kept wandering, destroying the enemy's food route. Secondly, Lu Su led 50,000 naval troops to guard the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Finally, Lu Xun led 10,000 troops to act according to the opportunity.
The whole plan was completely defensive, and everyone present was very worried.
With such an arrangement, can you beat Liu Jun?
Zhuge Jin said with some concern: "Zijing, aren't you talking too much? Liu Yu personally led the army to fight, can our army use 80,000 troops? "
"Tiyu, don't worry. The strategy of the Grand Commander's iron rope crossing the river has cut off Liu Yu's plan to attack Jiangdong. If Liu Yu wants to invade our country, he can only pass through Chaisang from Lujiang and launch a fierce attack from Chaisang. From Chaisang to Wujun, the rivers are crisscrossing along the way, and Liu Yu's army is mostly northerners, which is very unsuitable. In addition, the strongest part of the Liu army is their cavalry. Our Wu country is very unsuitable for cavalry combat. As long as the defense is properly, Liu Yu will definitely be unable to take advantage of it." Lu Su explained.
Of course, Lu Su did not say anything about the more detailed link.
Lu Xun stepped forward and said, "The chance of victory in this battle is a strange thing!"
"Stand to be on the verge of danger, win by surprise?" Zhuge Jin summed up the entire plan of Lu Su and Lu Xun.
"That's right!" Lu Su nodded and said.
"Planning depends on people and accomplishing things is in heaven! There is no objection below." Zhuge Jin retreated after saying that.
Zhuge Jin was good at political strategy and did not have that high attainments in military strategy, so he could not make any more suggestions.
At this point, everyone present, like Zhuge Jin, could not give much advice.
"Please make a decision!" Everyone present asked Sun Shao for advice. This was their habit. In the past, they asked Sun to make a decision after the discussion was completed.
Sun Shao said without any hesitation, "Yes!"
Everyone accepted the order and said yes.
At this time, Sun Shao asked, "Everyone, can you find the miracle doctor to treat your father and Uncle Zhou?"
As Sun Ce's son, Sun Shao was very worried about his father. Of course, Zhou Yu was also Sun Shao's elder, and he was also very worried.
