In the military system, the commander and above are qualified to be guards, the commander and below are Qujunhou, and the lower-level officers such as Du Bo are not qualified to be guards. Therefore, an ordinary soldier who wants to be promoted by military merits not only needs to be excellent in martial arts, but also has good luck to have the chance to survive the battlefield of life and death.

When you reach the level of the commander, your survival rate will be basically guaranteed. First, the commander commands the first battalion to fight, and usually does not have to rush forward to fight against the enemy in close combat. Second, you have personal guards with full-time protection around you. Unless you are surrounded by the enemy, at least your life safety is guaranteed.

The number of personal guards is usually one-tenth of the troops they lead. Empress Dowager Wu equipped Sun Quan with excess personal guards, and was commanded by Wu Fen, who had experience in guarding, to ensure Sun Quan's safety. Who would have thought that Sun Quan was seriously injured and extremely likely to be disabled?

Even if Sun Ce did not punish Wu Fen, Wu Fen could not explain to Empress Dowager Wu.

He was also wronged. Although the Kaiwei Battalion had the function of attacking the toughest, it was just a temporary measure and could not be used as a routine. Sun Quan repeatedly sent him to attack the toughest, what could he do?

But he couldn't say it, at least he couldn't say it to Sun Ce. If he wanted to say it, Sun Quan would hate him to death.

Sun Ce scolded Wu Fen and ordered someone to summon the imperial physician.

When the imperial physician checked Sun Quan's wound, although his hands and feet were as light as possible, Sun Quan's injuries were too severe and he had to be turned over in some places, and the pain was inevitable. Sun Quan could no longer pretend to be in a coma and could not help but moan.

Sun Ce stood aside, with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Sun Quan felt guilty and didn't even dare to look at Sun Ce.

After checking the wound, the imperial physician raised his hand, wiped the sweat beads from his forehead with his sleeve, and bowed his hand. "Your Majesty, most of them are wounded by flesh, so it should not be a problem. It's just that the knees... are a bit troublesome, the bones are broken. If you don't take out the broken bones, you may..."

Sun Quan said in a trembling voice: "Lonely legs..." He dared not say anything below, and could only look at the imperial physician with a look of hope.

The imperial physician looked at him sympathetically and shook his head.

Sun Ce frowned. "If you send me to Changsha, what if you want Hua Tuo to come to the doctor?"

The imperial physician bowed and said, "Hua Tuo's medical skills are superb, especially in surgery, which can be called the world's number one saint. Maybe it's possible to be saved. Although I am incapable of treating the King of Changsha, I can use medicine to stabilize the injury for a few days, but there is no problem." He paused and said, "Of course, the King of Changsha should endure it in the past few days and try not to move as much as possible, so as not to break bones and rub muscles and aggravate the injury."

Sun Ce pondered for a moment and turned to Sun Quan. "Zhongmou, what do you think?"

Sun Quan felt as if he was dead. He left the battlefield this time and may never come back. It was just that his leg was seriously injured. If someone could protect his leg, it would probably be Hua Tuo. It would be too late to let Hua Tuo come to Wu County. He could only go back to Changsha and go down the water, which was only three or four days.

"My brother follows the order." Sun Quan swallowed even more. "My brother is incompetent, so please demote the emperor's brother."

Sun Ce sat next to the couch, pulled Sun Quan's hand, patted it gently, and stopped talking, sighing.

"Prepare the Clippers and send the King of Changsha back to his country."

——

At noon, the military report written by Zhang Xuan and signed by Liu Ye was sent to the store, describing the process and results of yesterday's battle and reporting the current measures taken.

After Liu Ye and Zhang Xuan led their troops to withdraw from the position, they counted the casualties.

The losses in this battle are extremely large, with nearly 2,000 casualties and nearly 300 serious casualties. Although they were not fatal, there were five or six hundred who lost their combat effectiveness. The greater trouble was that they suffered a counterattack from the Shu army, and nearly half of the heavy crossbowmen lost and a large number of heavy crossbows were destroyed.

Although Zhang Xuan did not clearly accuse whom, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Sun Quan underestimated the enemy and took the position he had just won without ensuring safety, and encountered a premeditated counterattack by the other party, which was the key to the failure.

Sun Ce was speechless. Fortunately, Sun Quan was sent away an hour ago, otherwise he really wanted to ask Sun Quan what he thought.

The battle is not over yet, why are you running to the battlefield and posing?

Sun Ce felt that it might not be the first time Sun Quan did this, otherwise Huang Quan would not have dug a hole and waited for him. Judging from the entire battle process, Sun Quan was led by Huang Quan and jumped into the hole.

He was angry and angry. Before the war was over, Sun Ce immediately summoned civil and military affairs to discuss the matter.

Almost everyone was surprised to learn that Sun Quan was defeated and seriously injured. As a general of ten thousand people, there were more than a thousand equipment around him comparable to the Wuwei Guards and the Wumeng Camp's personal guards. How could Sun Quan be injured? It was not an accident, it was a traitor.

But no one accused Sun Quan. No matter what, Sun Quan was His Majesty's younger brother, the noble King of Changsha.

Everyone tacitly focused on the follow-up arrangements.

An unexpected defeat made everyone much more cautious. If Huang Zhong was frustrated in the Xuanhan area because it was too far away, many people did not have an intuitive feeling, this time, most people were on the battlefield and saw the impact of the terrain with their own eyes. Now the military and equipment of Changsha County and State soldiers, which are comparable to the central army, have suffered heavy damage again, and no one dares not to take the war seriously anymore.

But no one thinks that it is impossible to withdraw troops. The siege of Yizhou is already there, so wouldn't it be that the withdrawal of troops is watching others make meritorious service?

After repeated discussions, Ju Su came up with a plan: a comprehensive confrontation.

Specifically, it is to spread the army along the Motianling front, select multiple offensive points, and be responsible for different generals.

Behind Motianling is Yufucheng, and Cao Cao will not give up easily. He has enough troops to defend without leaving any gaps. But most of these nearly 100,000 soldiers are large clan tribes, and they are just like the appearance. Many generals are the heads of the family and do not have real battlefield experience. It is impossible for everyone to be as good as Huang Quan.

Regarding the overall level of the general, the Wu army's advantages are very obvious. Once someone tries out weak points and makes progress, he will immediately adjust the center of gravity, increase the attack strength, strive to break through a little, and then defeat the entire Shu army front.

Jushu's suggestion was unanimously recognized.

Sun Ce's purpose is to train generals, so that more generals can fight as much as possible, and learn how to fight under this unfavorable terrain. Ju Zu's plan is undoubtedly the most in line with his mind. Judging from the overall situation, this plan also fully utilizes its own advantages.

All the generals are unwilling to retreat lightly, and they all want to defeat the enemy and win, so they must at least have a chance to try. Jushu's plan is very fair, and they are rotated according to their results. Those who are capable will go up and those who are unable to go down. If they win, they will win and be rewarded. Even if they don't win, they will at least accumulate some practical experience.

No matter how well the soldiers are trained, they must see blood from time to time. There will always be no blood and no real elite will be able to be trained.

The same is true for generals. If they are not in the battle for a long time, some feelings will be dull and easily become a paper talk.

The task of the first battle fell on the shoulders of former general Zhu Huan. He will preside over the battle in Motianling, which will last for a month, and will be replaced by the right general Ji Ling in one month. During the war, the military advisors in the battalion should write the war discipline every day, report it to the military advisors, review it, and then distribute the generals to refer to it and learn from it. It is also a kind of supervision, so that everyone will be vigilant and not have low-level mistakes like Sun Quan, leaving behind laughing stocks.

After accepting the mission, Zhu Huan quickly set off and rushed to Motianling with five thousand soldiers.

Sun Ce himself was not idle either and ordered the central navy to approach Qutang Gorge and look for fighter jets.

——

Huang Quan succeeded in the counterattack, severely attacking Sun Quan. The Wu army was forced to retreat temporarily, causing a lot of sensation among the Shu army.

Especially when Huang Quan sent the captured armor, weapons and flags of the Wu army to the central army, the viewers were even more envious and jealous.

Before this, the princes fought with the Wu army, and only two people could achieve similar achievements. Therefore, Zhang He, the general of Wei, and Cao Ang, the crown prince of Shu. Now, Huang Quan is included, there are three people in total.

Among the three, two of them are in Shu. Isn’t this a symbol of the imperfect fate of Shu?

The morale of the Shu army was greatly boosted, but Cao Cao could not say anything about it.

Victory can certainly boost morale, but it is not a true manifestation of the strength of both sides. Huang Quan is the best among the young generals of the Shu army, but Sun Quan has long proved that he is not a qualified general. If he does not have the surname Sun, he will not have the chance to command such a battle. If morality is not worthy of his position and he is able to do so, it will be a matter of shortage. However, when Huang Quan encountered this fall, he fell a little harder.

It would be too naive if other Shu generals thought they could defeat the Wu army like Huang Quan, and their final outcome might not be better than Sun Quan.

What made Cao Cao helpless was that once the underestimation of the enemy breeds, it cannot be solved with words. Only the defeat on the battlefield can make their minds clear again. The Wu army is well-trained, able to stabilize the position and retreat in an orderly manner when Sun Quan was frustrated. He was not sure whether the Shu army could do it.

Once a defeat occurs, the Motianling defense line may collapse, and Sun Ce will be able to bypass Qutang Gorge and head straight to the city of Baidi.

Cao Cao asked Fazheng to discuss.

Fa Zheng was also worried, but what he was worried about was not that the generals underestimated the enemy, but that Sun Ce evacuated.

Sun Quan has never been the target, Sun Ce is.

Liao Li has heard news many times that Sun Ce had no plan to fight to the decisive battle. This time he came just to plunder Sun Quan to see the situation. Now that Sun Quan has been defeated, Sun Ce has also seen the terrain, and it is likely to withdraw to Zigui or even Nanjun because of this.

If this is the case, the plan to defeat or even drag Sun Ce will end in failure.

The only hope is that Peng Yi found a suitable place in time, created a landslide, and used the power of heaven and earth to severely damage Sun Ce.

No matter how you look at it, this is not very realistic.

They didn't worry for too long, and the scout came to news that Zhu Huan, the former general of Wu State, led his troops to come, and it seemed that he was going to take over Sun Quan to command the battle.

Fa Zheng was ecstatic and almost rushed into Cao Cao's central army tent and reported the good news to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, but he couldn't be happy. He said to Fa Zheng, "Why do I think this is a conspiracy? I just want to teach Sun Quan a lesson with us and deceive us into making concessions?" Did Sun Ce have already prepared for the attack, but he knew that Liao Li was doing it in detail and deliberately said that he didn't want to fight, so that we could first give up Wuxian and then Niumaling?"

Fa Zheng felt that Cao Cao had some truth, but he refused to admit it. He thought about it for a long time and told Cao Cao that it was not so easy for Sun Ce to conquer Motianling, and the longer it took, the greater the chance we had.

As for Liao Li, it's simple. It's up to you to see if he has any information sent here in the future. If Sun Ce had already seen through Liao Li's identity as the king said, and just wanted to use Liao Li to convey some false information, then Liao Li is now a piece of valuelessness. Even if Sun Ce does not kill him, he will not let him move freely.

There is a saying that Fa Zheng was in his heart and didn't say it. By this time, Liao Li was no longer important. Even if there was information sent, it was of no value. It was either garbage information or fake information.

——

Zhu Huan acted quickly. On the fourth day after Sun Quan's defeat, he rushed to Motianling and took over the command.

Accompanied by Liu Ye, Zhu Huan praised him after inspecting the position.

"If Pushe is a general, he should be on par with the five great commanders."

Liu Ye smiled and said nothing. Everyone has their own destiny and cannot force it. Zhu Huan was able to become a former general because he was from Jiangdong. He relied on the emperor as early as when the emperor crossed the river and was cultivated by the emperor. However, because of a moment, he chose the Emperor Chang'an and became a surrendered minister.

He was already surprised to have the status he is today and dared not expect too much.

"What are the insights about the next war? Can you give me some advice?"

Zhu Huan is arrogant, but not stupid. Although Liu Ye took over military power for a short time, he could quickly stabilize the morale of the army and defend the position tightly. It can be seen that he has a very clear judgment on the current situation. It would be a waste not to take this opportunity to ask for advice.

Sun Quan is the emperor's younger brother, and he can ask Liu Ye to assist in the military, but he does not have the qualifications. After handing over the military power, Liu Ye will soon return to the camp, but he has no chance to ask for advice. After Liu Ye returns to the camp, the emperor will definitely ask him about the relevant situation. If he knew that Liu Ye had an idea, he did not ask Liu Ye for advice. He would look down on him and think that he was proud and conceited and could not become a great person.

Liu Ye turned his head to look at the towering Motianling Mountains, pondered for a moment, and then withdrew his gaze.

"I dare not take the advice, but I have a little superficial opinion. I wonder if the former general is interested in listening?"

Zhu Huan saluted respectfully. "Pu She asked for advice."

"Before the former general came, he must have known the situation of Motianling. In your opinion, how many places can be attacked?"

Zhu Huan thought for a while, raised his hand and said a few place names. As Liu Ye said, the terrain of Motianling has been engraved in his mind. Although the Shu army has a long defense line, most of them are easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are only four or five places that are really possible to attack.

"How many routes are the former general planning to divide his troops?"

Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment. He originally planned to arrange some people to attack each place, but the number of troops would be more or less depending on the terrain. However, according to Liu Ye's meaning, he obviously did not support this.

Seeing that Zhu Huan did not speak, Liu Ye said again: "How many roads are empty and how many roads are real?"

Zhu Huan flashed with a light and laughed in silence. He bowed again, his tone becoming more and more enthusiastic. "Pu She, I plan to divide the troops into six groups, five groups of empty, one group of real, five groups of empty attacks, one group of real, one group of real. These five battlefields will be tried one by one. How about it?"

Liu Ye laughed. "The former general deserves to have followed His Majesty for many years and is well versed in the way of virtual and real. Five fingers, all the way of real palms, virtual can be transformed into real at any time, like clenching a fist and hurting someone. Real can also be transformed into virtually anytime, like blinking a finger. Very good. Since that's the case, I have nothing to say, waiting to drink the general's celebration bar."
