Chapter 822: Gather in Jiangdong
However, it was said that Chen Xu entered the Duke of Qin, and after Dafeng's subordinates, all the generals were smiling.
But Jia Xu's words made everyone's hearts tremble, but many people felt disapproving.
Everyone thinks that with the current strength of Guanzhong, why should they be afraid of the rest of the princes to attack? It's just that Jia Xu still managed to attract everyone's attention.
Born in sorrow, died in peace.
Chen Xu was not so optimistic, and hurriedly asked Jia Xu: "Please also ask Mr. to speak clearly." ”
Jia Xu said: "After four years of cultivation and recuperation, the princes did not dare to start a war lightly, but the death of His Majesty and the ascension of the new emperor to the throne may attract variables." ”
"If Yuan Benchu, Cao Mengde, Sun Bofu, and Liu Xuande lead the troops to attack together, what should we do?"
As soon as Jia Xu's words fell, someone said: "Sun Bofu is an ally of the lord, how can he join forces with other princes and lead troops to attack Guanzhong?" ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "This time, that time." ”
"In the past, the lord did not benefit the state, although the power is strong, it will not be too fearful, and Sun Bofu and Liu Jingsheng are feuds, so this can form an alliance with them."
"Now the lord occupies the land of the four states, the country is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers are excellent, the generals are brave, and there is the trend of the strong Qin sweeping Liuhe in the past."
"It is even more significant to enter the Duke of Qin, how could the princes not have imagined that the Six Kingdoms would end up during the Warring States Period?"
"What's more, Liu Jingsheng has already died of illness, although Sun Bofu remembers Liu Xuande's seizure of Jingzhou, he is not a person with a small eye to the eye, and his hatred for Jingzhou is not as strong as before."
"If a lobbyist goes to Jiangdong, knows what is at stake, and does that kind of connivance, it may not be impossible to persuade Sun Ce to break the covenant."
Chen Xu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "If the alliance of princes comes to attack, what should it do?" ”
Jia Xu said: "First, the lord should send an envoy in the name of the Son of Heaven to Jiangdong to canonize Sun Bofu to calm his heart. “
"Second, the lord should dispatch elite soldiers and fierce generals in advance, guard the dangerous fortress, and make the generals not go to war, so that even if one of the princes comes to attack, as long as they can withstand a year and a half, the princes will definitely retreat."
Chen Xu didn't dare to slack off, so he began to dispatch troops to guard against the attack of the princes.
However, it was said that after Chen Xu made a plan, he hurriedly sent angels to Jiangdong, accompanied by nearly 100 Guanzhong troops to act as angel guards.
Sun Ce learned of the arrival of the angel and led the crowd out of the city twenty miles to greet him, and the angel canonized Sun Ce as the pastor of Yangzhou in the name of the Son of Heaven, led the position of general of the south, and was promoted to the marquis of Wucheng County.
Not only that, but even several major figures in Jiangdong have been canonized.
Sun Ce inherited the title of Sun Jian before, and he was the marquis of Wucheng, and there was only one word difference between the county marquis and the township marquis, but the nature was very different.
Sun Ce was added to the official and immediately overjoyed and entertained the angels.
During the banquet, the angel expressed the goodwill of the Duke of Qin to Sun Ce, and repeatedly expressed that the Duke of Qin was willing to form an alliance with Jiang Dongyong and jointly support the Han family.
And the angel also said that Liu Bei killed Liu Jingsheng, the pastor of Jingzhou, and even Liu Jingsheng's heirs did not let go, which made the Son of Heaven angry and wanted to send Qin Gong to send troops to attack Jingzhou.
However, Guanzhong had an alliance with Jiangdong before, and Jingzhou was Sun Ce's target, so it was difficult for Qin Gong to send troops to attack Jingzhou.
Looking at Sun Ce, whose face changed slightly, as well as Jiangdong Wenwu, the angel continued: "Before leaving, Duke Qin said that after he obtained Yizhou, he failed to help Jiangdong capture Jingzhou, and he has always felt deeply guilty. ”
"Liu Xuande usurped the foundation of Jingzhou in vain, and the Son of Heaven was furious."
"If Wucheng Hou intends to seize the land of Jingzhou, the Duke of Qin will naturally lead his troops to help, even if he can capture some Jingzhou territory, after Liu Bei is eliminated, the land obtained will still not be an inch of land, and all of it will belong to Wu Chenghou."
"If Cao Mengde dares to raise troops to invade Yangzhou, the Duke of Qin will personally lead a large army to attack Cao Cao, and Wucheng Hou does not have to worry about his back at all."
"If Wucheng Hou can capture Jingzhou, across the two rich states of Jing and Yang, as long as he cultivates and recuperates for a few years, his strength will definitely increase."
"At that time, the Duke of Qin sent troops to Jizhou to eliminate Yuan Shao, and the Marquis of Wucheng went north to eliminate Cao Cao.
The angel's words undoubtedly drew a big cake in front of everyone in Jiangdong, and everyone was excited.
It can be said that Jingzhou has always been an eternal pain in Jiangdong's heart, and since Sun Jian, the Sun clan has attacked Jingzhou several times, almost all of which have returned in vain.
The last time he finally hit the city of Xiangyang, he was blocked by Liu Bei and Xu Shu, and Cao Cao raised troops in Xuzhou to attack Jiangdong, which forced Sun Ce to give up Jingzhou.
Since then, Sun Ce has transferred his hatred for Liu Biao to Liu Bei, and his relationship with Cao Cao has become worse and worse.
But Liu Bei is not very human, and there are great talents such as Pang Tong and Xu Shu under him, and Sun Ce also feels very powerless in the face of the new Jingzhou.
Now that he heard that Chen Xu was willing to help Sun Ce conquer Jingzhou, Sun Ce was immediately overjoyed and was about to open his mouth to promise.
But he didn't want to, Zhou Yu suddenly got up and said: "Duke Qin is righteous, Jiangdong is grateful, but sending troops to Jingzhou is not a trivial matter, and we need to be cautious." ”
When Sun Ce heard this, Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yu had something to say, but it was only because of the angels in front of him that it was difficult to speak.
Sun Ce, who woke up suddenly, immediately smiled and said to the angel: "Gong Jin's words are extremely true, sending troops to Jingzhou is not a trivial matter, and the angel should not be impatient, let's stay in Jiangdong for a while." ”
"I will definitely let people lead the angels to see the scenery of Jiangdong."
"As for the matter of sending troops to Jingzhou, after we have finished discussing, we will definitely inform the angels."
Although the angel was eager to complete the task, he couldn't push Sun Ce too much, so he had to agree.
After the banquet was dispersed and the angel was sent to rest, Sun Ce couldn't help but say to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, Gong Qin is so generous, not only to help me capture Jingzhou, but also to help me defend against Cao Mengde." ”
"Why don't you agree to such a good thing on the spot?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "If the Duke of Qin conquers the territory of Jingzhou, how can he easily cede the territory to the Lord?" ”
Sun Ce couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this statement was reasonable.
Although the angel said it very well now, the Qin Guild helped Jiangdong conquer the entire Jingzhou, and then offered all the occupied territories.
But in the end, it is unknown.
After being silent for a long time, Sun Ce still said with some uncertainty: "But if there is no help from Duke Qin, it will not be easy to capture Jingzhou." ”
"Moreover, Chen Wenzhao is very righteous and will not necessarily swallow the territory he has conquered."
Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Although the lord's words are reasonable, he also has to be guarded against. ”
"Although Jingzhou is good, if the Duke of Qin is allowed to take away most of it, I am afraid that there will be no princes in the world who can resist Chen Wenzhao's edge, and the lord needs to be cautious about this matter."
Although Jiangdong formed an alliance with Chen Xu, Chen Xu's strength swelled too quickly, and Jiangdong failed to capture the entire Jingzhou as planned.
As a result, he did not have the strength to resist Guanzhong, and he was afraid that Chen Xu, a powerful ally, would eventually become a tiger who chose people to devour, so Zhou Yu was a little undecided.
The two were discussing, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, but it was Lu Su who walked into the house.
Because Sun Ce was very important to Lu Su, when Lu Su came, the gatekeeper did not stop him at all.
"Zijing."
Seeing Lu Su striding in, Sun Ce hurriedly got up to greet him.
Lu Su bowed and saluted, "My subordinates are uninvited, and I hope that the lord will forgive my sins." ”
Sun Ce laughed loudly: "I was just about to ask people to invite Zijing to come, but I didn't want Zijing to come over by myself, it's really good." ”
Zhou Yu also stepped forward and said to Lu Su with a smile: "Zi Jing is here because of the incident of sending troops to Jingzhou, right?" ”
Lu Su nodded solemnly, and then said to Sun Ce: "Has the lord decided to join forces with Chen Wenzhao to attack Jingzhou?" ”
Secretly played a color with Zhou Yu, Sun Ce said: "That's what I mean." ”
But he didn't want to, Lu Su, who was still strongly suggesting an alliance with Chen Xu at the beginning, said at this time: "The lord must not!" ”
Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile: "The matter of the alliance with Guanzhong was promoted by Nai Zijing, and the Duke of Qin is willing to send troops to help the lord, how can we refuse?" ”
Lu Su said: "This time, that time." ”
"In the past, Chen Wenzhao only occupied the land of Sanzhou, and the state was desolate, Liangzhou was barren, and there were even more Qiang people who caused disaster on the frontier."
"At that time, Liu Biao and the lord had a grudge against their father for killing their father, and this feud was not shared, and Jiangdong and Jingzhou had no room for reconciliation at all."
"But today, Chen Wenzhao occupies the land of the four states, and Liangzhou has been pacified, but the lord has not captured the entire Jingzhou as originally planned."
"Today, Chen Wenzhao's strength is so strong that no prince can compare with him, and Guanzhong is like a strong Qin during the Warring States Period, and the heart of annexing the world is exposed."
"Regardless of whether Chen Wenzhao helped the lord to attack Jingzhou, will he keep his promise and hand over the seized territory to Jiangdong."
"Thinking that Liu Bei is now with the help of Pang Shiyuan and Xu Yuanzhi, how can he be easy to deal with? If a lot of manpower and material resources are spent, but the entire Jingzhou cannot be captured, it will not be a waste of national strength! ”
Zhou Yu nodded secretly when he heard this, and Sun Ce also suddenly realized, and said: "If it weren't for Zijing's words, I'm afraid that I would have mistaken a big deal." ”
At this moment, a messenger suddenly came to report, saying that the envoy from Jingzhou had entered Jiangdong, and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su were all shocked when they heard this.
The hatred between Jiangdong and Jingzhou has a long history.
Even if Liu Biao dies, this hatred still can't be completely eliminated, and Sun Ce has always coveted the land of Jingzhou, and the two sides have not interacted with each other over the years.
Today, I suddenly heard that the Jingzhou envoy had arrived in Jiangdong, and Sun Ce and the others could not be surprised.
Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "Who is the envoy sent by Jingzhou this time, and when will he arrive in Liyang?" ”
The messenger said: "This time the envoy of Jingzhou is Pang Tong, and the general Wei Yan is following around, they will go south by boat along the Yangtze River, and they will arrive in Liyang in three or five days." ”
