In the second year of Xiuwu in Daliang, from May to June, it took only more than a month. Zhao Yun's army and Huaxiong's army swept away nearly a hundred villages and villages in Nanyang, and captured five counties and cities. There were more than 30 villages and two cities that were descending in sight.

The Wei army also tried to counterattack. However, the Liang army did not occupy any territory. They adopted the tactic of leaving after fighting and came and went quickly. The Wei army had no time to gather large forces to fight back.

After the number of troops in various counties was lost, the tiger and leopard cavalry were no longer the opponent of the Liang army. When they encountered the Liang army's light cavalry, they were shot with arrows and shot with arrows. If they encountered the Liang army's heavy cavalry, they would be even worse, and they would almost have the fate of being crushed.

Zhang He personally led the infantry and cavalry of the standing army guarding in Nanyang to try to intercept the Liang army, but he never captured the main force of the Liang army. In fact, even if he bumped into the Liang army in the wilderness, he would have a high probability of losing this battle.

Zhang He was finally troubled and had no choice but to evacuate the Wei army from most areas close to Liang. Even so, he was still hit by the Liang army. In the midsummer of the second year of Xiuwu, the Wei army had lost tens of thousands of troops. The precious tiger and leopard cavalry also lost more than a thousand cavalry. His strategy of gathering troops in the military farm was about to end in failure, and he himself faced huge reprimand pressure from the Wei court. Even if Cao Cao did not ask about his crime of dereliction of duty, his future was half ruined.

Zhang He thought of finding foreign aid again, but at this moment, Liu Bei was fighting with the Liang army in the distant south, trying to seize the land of Hepu in Wu. He was fully responsible for Fancheng and the Yicheng defense area was Guan Yu. Guan Yu ignored Zhang He's request at all, and sent Zhang He in a few simple words.

Just as Zhang He was frantically wandering around like an ant on a hot pan, a turn of things happened. King Sun Ce of Wu was actually killed on the battlefield of Hepu, and according to the news ahead, he was killed by Liang's army.

With the support of Wu Guotai, Wu quickly supported Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan as the new king. After Sun Quan took office, the first thing he did was to avenge his brother Sun Ce. He personally led the generals to lead the 30,000 troops to Nanyang under the banners to fight against the thieves.

Logically speaking, only the southern Hepu in Wu State was bounded by Liang State. Although Hepu has been occupied by Liu Bei in the name of assisting Wu State in the fight against the thieves, Liu Bei would not object to it only "bypassing the way".

However, Sun Quan chose to go to Nanyang by the Wei Kingdom, which shows how determined he is to take revenge.

His idea was that the Handong County, which was directly attacking Daliang, was the capital of Zhuyang, which was Feng Yu's Longxing land, and now it is also the heart of Daliang. If he could invade Handong County, Hanzhong would be able to capture it naturally. At that time, the entire Daliang was divided into two sections, north and south. With the Wei State and Linjiang State's large-scale attack from the north and south directions, Feng Yu would inevitably be defeated.

Unfortunately, this was just the idea of ​​the young man Sun Quan. Several important officials from the Wu State, including Lu Su and Zhou Yu, knew in their hearts what a big dangerous move.

When Sun Quan, who had a little tender face, made this decision in the Jianye Wu Palace Hall, the ministers were shocked and discussed it.

Lu Su first said: "Your Majesty, don't act irritably! We just returned from a great defeat in Hepu, and then went to Nanyang to attack Handong County of Liang's Kingdom thousands of miles away. This is the way to destroy yourself. Please think twice!"

Zhang Zhao also advised: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not understand military affairs, but the old minister knows that the new king of our country, the new king of Wu is destroyed and the general is damaged, so we should consolidate our foundation and strengthen our country. Of course, we should avenge our hatred, but we should not be repaid now! Please think twice!"

Zhou Yu and they all finished speaking, and just explained the military reasons why we could not go to Nanyang to revenge: "King, our Wu Kingdom has no border with the Feng Bid's Handong. To attack Handong County, we must first borrow from Cao Wei, starting from a small piece of land in Runan, and traveling to Nanyang County controlled by Cao Wei is thousands of miles away. The supply of our tens of thousands of troops depends entirely on this path controlled by others to supply grain. The risk is too great. If Cao Wei goes back on his word and suddenly cuts off our retreat, our tens of thousands of troops will be completely over. At that time, our Wu Kingdom will be in danger of destruction!"

Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, Sun Quan said, "What you thought of is Gu, you have thought about. Now, Feng Zhe, who has held the emperor hostage and invaded several counties in our Wu Kingdom, is the public enemy of the world. The reason why he is able to be free is that the princes in the world are unsatisfied and no one is willing to take the lead in gnawing hard bones. But today, Gu is willing to go to Nanyang to gnaw this bone. How could Cao Wei not lend a way to me, and how could he interfere behind his back and cut off our retreat?!"

Seeing that Sun Quan did not listen to the advice, Zhou Yu hurriedly said, "Master, even if the Wei State did not interfere when I fought against Feng Thief, the Master had thought about why Cao Wei had been entrenched in Nanyang for a long time, but he had been slow to attack Handong County? At that time, Xu Huang led tens of thousands of powerful soldiers and generals, but was blocked by a small fortress. Now, tens of thousands of Wu soldiers who were not good at cavalry warfare are far away from the rear of the local area. How can we gain a foothold on the Nanyang Plain where the war cavalry is easy to play?"

Sun Quan said indifferently: "Gongjin, Gu knew that you were concerned about the safety of Wu, but these Gu had already made plans. After Gu arrived in Nanyang, of course, he would not go to the other Feng Zhe alone. He would join forces with Liu Bei's army in Fancheng in Nanyang and Cao Cao's army in Wancheng to attack Feng Zhe together."

At this time, Lu Su continued to persuade: "But how can the king ensure that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are in harmony with us and defeat Feng's thief? In addition, they will not interfere when we are fighting with Feng's thief, but they cannot guarantee that when our battle with Feng's thief ends, they suddenly seek the benefits of the fisherman. At that time, the tens of thousands of soldiers who were alone were gone. My foundation in Wu is over. Please think twice!"

Lu Su knelt down while saying that, and bowed to Sun Ce. It didn't matter if he knelt down. All the ministers in the hall, including Zhou Yu, knelt down and shouted, "I'm going to kowtow and ask the king to think twice!"

Seeing the ministers forcing the palace, Sun Quan suddenly turned dark and said coldly: "You guys, have you seen the last face of the previous king? You haven't, but Gu has seen that scene. Gu will never forget it in this life. If you don't take revenge, Gu would rather not be this throne. Don't persuade me anymore, don't blame Gu for turning against me!"

Seeing that Sun Quan was so stubborn, the ministers had to stop. Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Since the king insisted on this, I only have one request here, that is, I will go to war with the king and hand over the military power to me for dispatch! Otherwise, even if I was beheaded by the king, I would have to stop the king from going to this dangerous situation."

Among the ministers of Wu, only Zhou Yu dared to speak to Sun Quan like this and directly asked for military power. Sun Quan thought about it and nodded and said, "Gongjin, Gu knows very little about military affairs. Gu originally wanted you to go to war with Gu."
