In June of the third year of Jian'an.

In midsummer, the weather is extremely hot.

Especially the land east of Jiangdong is extremely hotter than the north.

Just how hot it is can be seen from the fact that there were still elephants under the rule of Jiangdong in this era!

As for Wu Jun and Wu County in Jiangdong, Sun Quan and other Jiangdong monarchs and ministers felt chilled in their hearts.

Because they have already obtained the news that Cao Ang defeated the coalition forces of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shang last month, captured Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shang alive, captured the city of Ye, and gained all the land in the four states of Hebei!

"It only took two months from the time Cao Ang sent troops to the Northern Expedition to the capture of Yecheng and all four states in Hebei.

Cao Zixiu's use of troops was so unpredictable that it shocked the world!"

In the Jiangdong court, Zhang Zhao looked solemn, stroking his beard and sighed.

"well! The current situation in the world is that the Cao family is the dominant one.

Although the Yuan family had been newly defeated before, they still had the territory of the four states of Hebei and more than 400,000 troops.

In addition, there are several forces in the north such as Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Du, and Wuhuan.

I thought that even if Cao Ang was able to use his troops again, he would not be able to conquer the entire northern kingdom within a few years.

But people never expected that Gongsun Zan and the Yuan family joined forces, but they were defeated one after another by 193 Cao Ang in less than two months.

The defeat of Yuan Tan in Liyang and the defeat of Yuan Shanggong and Sun Zan in Yecheng, Hebei alone surrendered hundreds of thousands of troops...

It's really a thorn in the back!"

Yu Fan also looked downcast at this time, with a look of lamentation.

As one of Jiangdong's advisers, Yu Fan often had clever suggestions to offer when he followed Sun Ce.

But at this time, he was only full of worries and did not have a good plan.

Cao Ang captured all the four states in Hebei, and even far to the north.

The Cao family's invincibility has been completely established!

What's more, when Cao Ang sent troops to attack the Yuan family in the north, Jia Xu, Qiao Rui, Liu Yao, Yan Xiang, and Yang Hong, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci and other Cao soldiers led an army of 200,000 soldiers to attack Jiangdong.

Although almost all of these 200,000 troops were originally Yuan Shu's Huainan soldiers, Lujiang soldiers, Yuzhang soldiers and other troops, their combat strength was not that of Yuan Shu. The most elite among Cao's troops.

But he could not withstand the overwhelming number of people! And the entire Jiangdong, after Sun Ce's death, tried their best to expand and reorganize the army, but now there are only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses.

This is already a total effort. Because Jiangdong and Jiangnan in this era have not been developed much, and the population size is not as good as that of the Central Plains and Hebei.

Moreover, most of these soldiers and horses that were finally trained were used by Jiangdong generals such as Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu. led the army to resist Jia Xu and other Cao troops.

Although Zhou Yu has the talent of a general and Cheng Pu is also a veteran Jiangdong general, there are advisers on the opposite side including Jia Xu, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, and generals including Qiao Rui, Xu Huang, Tai Shi Ci...

In addition, Liu Yao, who once served as the governor of Yangzhou, was the nominal governor, which can be said to be a perfect team!

Moreover, Cao Jun also used soldiers and horses from several counties in Yangzhou, which are of the same origin as Jiangdong, so The Yangtze River natural moat was not a hindrance to Cao's army.

In the past two months, Zhou Yu and these opponents first used the Yangtze River as a defense line and launched several water battles.

However, because the troops were slightly at a disadvantage, the Yangtze River defense line It failed to hold on.

Zhou Yu had to lead his army to retreat to the middle part of Danyang County. Taking advantage of the mountainous terrain of Danyang County, he set up a series of defense lines to resist Cao's army from a high position, and protected Wu County, the seat of Jiangdong, behind Danyang County.

Relying on By sticking to the mountains and fighting with Cao Jun in Danyang County, Jiangdong Army barely blocked Cao Jun's offensive.

Now, because the weather has entered the hot season, both armies are in a state of semi-truce.

Zhou Yu relied on the Danyang County Mountains Alliance to Occupying half of the county in the east.

Cao's army took over the western half of Danyang County, and the two faced each other.

It can be said that for Jiangdong, this was already in a dilemma.

Cao Ang had not defeated the Yuan family before. With the news of taking over Hebei, Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers could barely keep their hearts in their stomachs (acca).

Now they know that Cao Ang has captured all four states in Hebei and surrendered hundreds of thousands...

Any Jiangdong civil and military man with any brains knows this. What does it mean!

It means that Cao Ang can escape from the north at any time, mobilize an army of troops and increase his troops to Jiangdong!

Jia Xu, Liu Yao and other 200,000 troops can only be dealt with by Jiangdong.

If Cao Jun adds more troops , Jiangdong will be unable to cope...

At that time, I am afraid that it will end up like the Yuan brothers and Gongsun Zan! The young new master of Jiangdong, Sun Quan, looked a little gloomy with his green eyes, looking at Zhang Zhao, Yu Fan and others Just sighing, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel a little irritated:"You are just sighing, could you sigh to death Cao Ang? (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Now, I, Jiangdong, are forced to defend themselves under the pressure of Jia Xu, Liu Yao and other Cao troops.

If after Cao Ang pacified the four states in Hebei, he directly increased his troops to Jiangdong, what should I do?"

The civil and military officials in the hall looked even more sad when they heard Sun Quan's reprimanding words.

To this day, discerning people feel that Cao Ang's trend of dominating the world is unstoppable.

It's just a matter of time.

Jiangdong... I'm afraid there is no hope...

Not only Jiangdong, but also Liu Cong of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou will also be crushed to pieces under Cao Ang's general trend...

For these princes, monarchs and ministers, In fact, the best choice is to take advantage of the fact that the forces and troops are still there, take the initiative to accept the land as vassal, and surrender with the land.

Just like the choice of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong!

The princes who surrendered with the land are like leading their troops to surrender. A general can be considered a meritorious service.

When the time comes, he can find a good title under the command of Cao and his son and keep his wealth.

But if he does not surrender now, he will wait until Cao's army defeats Jiangdong's soldiers and horses and approaches the city. If you surrender, you will be treated like a subjugated king.

Forced to surrender, just a prisoner!

It is hard to say whether you can save your life, let alone what title and reward you want...

However, these thoughts, Jiangdong monarchs and ministers can only dare to do it themselves I just thought about it in my heart and didn’t dare to mention it in front of Sun Quan.[]

Because last year, many local families in Jiangdong proposed that they should not waste people and money and become enemies of Cao Jun.

But Sun Quan used thunderous means to kill many Jiangdong families!

Even at this moment, some people in the main hall felt that the best way out was to surrender to Cao's army, but they did not dare to bring it up.

If you are not careful, your life may not be saved!

And Sun Quan looked at the civil and military officials in the palace. Everyone was silent, and he couldn't help but become more impatient. His blue eyes turned green with anxiety, like a lone wolf at night:"Why are everyone silent?" ?

Could it be that they all have the intention of surrendering to Cao Cao!"
