Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Lu Kang failed to stop Ma Su's offensive, and Ruxuwu was lost. But he finally brought some troops out, leaving some strength for the Eastern Wu.

However, the front army troops he left in Ruxuwu were not so lucky.

Lu Kang obviously knew the importance of ships on the Yangtze River. When he fled south with thousands of people, he did not forget to set fire to all the remaining ships. When the Han army arrived at the dock in pursuit of the Eastern Wu's defeated soldiers, they only saw a big fire and the Eastern Wu troops running away.

"Put out the fire quickly!"

"These are all the support for crossing the river to the south! Rescue them quickly!"

"Put out the fire quickly!"

The first batch of Han troops who rushed to the dock saw this scene, and they immediately gave up the idea of ​​chasing the defeated soldiers. Under the leadership of the officers, they hurriedly tried to put out the fire and tried to rescue some ships.

Soon, Ma Su also came to the port with a confused look on his face. When he saw countless ships set on fire by the Eastern Wu themselves and a large number of defeated soldiers surrendered voluntarily, he believed that the Eastern Wu was really defeated.

This was the last stronghold of the Eastern Wu in Jiangbei, and the nail that threatened Huainan for many years. It was completely removed from then on.

After taking Ruxuwu, the Han army completely controlled the entire Jiangbei. From then on, it was only a matter of time to cross the Yangtze River to annex the Eastern Wu.

But until this time, Ma Su was a little unbelievable.

Ruxuwu had been attacked by the Wei army in the era of Cao Cao and Cao Pi. Every time the Wei army marched south, it was based on 100,000 people, and the offensive was also extremely fierce, but they were helpless against this city.

But the same city was consumed by its own attack for more than half a month, and then it was taken down in one day?

What went wrong? What on earth is Sun Quan doing?

"General, we have controlled the entire Ruxuwu and accepted the surrender of more than 4,000 people from Ququ, Jiangdong. And our army lost more than 2,000 people, and two lieutenants died in battle, which is still acceptable overall."

At this time, Zhuge Zhan ran over from the side, his face full of admiration for Ma Su.

After all, as the son of Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Zhan has been well protected by people around him since birth. Although he is a military general in name, he has never been on the battlefield, and all his knowledge of war is just hearsay.

So when he saw Ma Su's overwhelming style of fighting today, he was instantly conquered. For a time, he admired Ma Su very much, and wanted to become brothers with Ma Ping, and then recognize Ma Su as his adoptive father.

Well... maybe there is a difference in seniority, but we can talk about each other.

"Wu general Lu Kang fled to Yangzhou with only more than 7,000 people, and set fire to some ships. Now we are rescuing ships. If we are lucky, we may be able to go south and conquer the entire Yangzhou!"

Overall, although this battle was fought in a muddle, the harvest was very rich.

After listening to the overall report and the loss ratio, Ma Su fell into deep contemplation. Looking at this wrong battle fought at the wrong time and the wrong victory in the end, Ma Su began to consider the meaning of life.

Why is all this different from what was expected?

Shouldn't I have been so aggressive and led the Guandong tribe to attack together? Then I suffered heavy losses under the solid city walls, gave Dongwu a lot of military merits in one breath, and then ended tragically?

In this way, he also had enough reasons to make concessions to the Jiangdong nobles. Using a reasonable blank check to deceive the entire Jiangdong civil strife?

What went wrong?

…………

Just when Ma Su took Ruxuwu in a daze and successfully removed Dongwu's last stronghold in Jiangbei. Sun Quan also returned to Jianye with 20,000 troops, and was lucky enough to run into Zhuge Ke's mutiny!

Influenced by Sima Shi's coup in the north to expel the insect political enemies, Zhuge Ke also planned to plan a mutiny to clean up the internal affairs for Sun Quan. It is best to quickly execute the gang of treacherous ministers while Sun Quan is not in Jianye, and gather the power of Jiangdong.

The central power of Dongwu has been dispersed for too long, because this system has led to a lot of manpower and material resources being wasted. A large amount of power was lost in the internal friction of the factions, and it was impossible to unite to resist the southward advance of the Shu army.

Therefore, Zhuge Ke believed that this mutiny would definitely save Jiangdong. Even if Sun Quan knew about it afterwards, he would have tacitly accepted this basic fact.

He acted very quickly. After launching the mutiny and seizing the command of the Imperial Guards, he immediately sent troops to kill the ministers. Several ministers of the Jiangdong faction were not even prepared and were killed directly at their doorsteps by Zhuge Ke!

But it is obvious that Zhuge Ke was too young and did not understand Sun Quan's way of checks and balances. And Sun Quan came back from a long distance and had no idea of ​​Zhuge Ke's calculations.

So, when Sun Quan returned to Jianye with 20,000 troops and saw Zhuge Ke mutiny and trying to purge several court officials, he immediately ordered to suppress the rebellion.

"Quick battle and quick decision! Kill Zhuge Ke immediately after seeing him, I don't want him alive!" Sun Quan was almost mad. In his opinion, this son of Zhuge Jin had already communicated with Shu.

If he had no connection with Shu, why would he wantonly kill his own court officials? It was obvious that he had received 500,000 from Shu and planned to kill important officials of Wu, and then surrender the city to Ma Su!

This was no longer a simple rebellion! We must strike hard!

Under Sun Quan's urgent decree, 20,000 Wu troops immediately launched an attack on the mutinous troops.

Zhuge Ke was unprepared for this, and he did not expect Sun Quan to suddenly come back. Therefore, after seeing the emperor's flag, this loyal minister of Wu chose to lead his troops to try to explain to Sun Quan.

After all, his original intention was not to rebel, but to clear the court.

However, before he could see Sun Quan, a cavalry general rushed towards him from a distance. Then he didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and a knife came from the side!

Zhuge Ke didn't expect that this time Sun Quan didn't give him a chance to speak at all. Caught off guard, Zhuge Ke was directly hit by a knife!

The last hawk in the history of the Eastern Wu, the last leader of the Huaisi faction of the Eastern Wu, died at the hands of his own people!

Just like the ending in history...

Zhuge Ke died, and his guards were all stunned. But before they could react, the cavalry general sent by Sun Quan had already given an order.

"The leader of the thieves is dead, and all the followers are killed!"

Wu soldiers quickly surrounded and killed all of Zhuge Ke's soldiers. All the troops who participated in the mutiny were killed mercilessly by the Wu army.

After all... if they can't beat the Shu army, can they still beat you rebels?

Zhuge Ke was killed, and the Jianye mutiny was suppressed at the speed of light. When he returned to his throne, Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like Jianye had not fallen, so there was still room for easing the situation.

But before he could even take a second breath, he heard an urgent battle report from Ruxuwu...
