Chapter 148: The Princes' Reaction
Sun Jian sent troops from Wu County, and the Jiangdong Army, known as the 100,000 Jiangdong Army, went straight to Yuzhang and Lujiang, menacing, but in the end the soldiers did not see blood, and took Yuzhang and Lujiang in a peaceful way to unify Jiangdong.
This news, less than half a month, is known to the world.
Subsequently, Sun Jian settled in Yuzhang, divided Yuzhang County, established Luling County, and then formed the foundation of the six counties of Jiangdong in the name of the General's Mansion.
……
Yuzhou, Runan.
"Sun Wentai, just a puppet, Wu Hou? General Zhengdong? I don't know what to say. ”
After Yuan Shu received the news from Jiangdong, he was immediately furious, all along, Sun Jian was a brainless puppet in his eyes, and he was just a small broken general in the past, but he didn't expect it to be more than he expected.
knew that Sun Quan had received an edict from the imperial court when he returned from Chang'an, so he should have intercepted Sun Quan directly, if there were no two names, Sun Jian would have to make a big move if he wanted to unify Jiangdong.
"What a Sun Quan, a certain family didn't expect that he could invite the edict of the Son of Heaven to let Sun Jian rightfully lead Jiangdong, and let him go in the first place, it's really a pity." Yuan Shu sighed in a low voice, he couldn't help but regret a little, he didn't pay attention to Sun Quan's drooping young man who passed by Runan, and let him escape back to Jiangdong from under his eyelids.
If he attaches importance to it and besieges him with heavy troops, Sun Quan will be unable to fly in Runan.
Now Sun Jian has an edict, the official title and title are no longer under him, and he is a veritable lord of Jiangdong, with nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command of six counties, and the soldiers are full of food, sitting firmly in Jiangdong.
And what about his Yuan Shu, born in the Yuan family, with the support of the huge Yuan family, as a general after the imperial court, he occupies the two largest counties of Nanyang and Runan, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and is still known as the first prince in the world, but he has Cao Cao, a growing enemy in the north, so that he has lost Chen Liu and Yingchuan in a row, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou is also eyeing Nanyang, which makes him uneasy.
"Someone, pass on Ji Ling to see so-and-so!"
Yuan Shu pondered for a moment, he knew that he had to expand his territory in order to recruit more soldiers and horses, and now that Jiangdong was unified, there was pressure on Jingzhou, and Cao Cao also appeared as an enemy of Lu Bu, this was a good opportunity.
Jiujiang County.
He has been staring at it for a long time, Jiujiang's troops are naturally insufficient to fight him, if there is no intervention from Cao Cao and Liu Biao, it is not difficult for him to take Jiujiang
"No!" When the two soldiers at the door heard this, they hurriedly ran to preach the number one general under Yuan Shu, Ji Ling.
"Lord!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ji Ling hurried from the military camp in the city, wearing silver and mighty armor, without removing the armor, he walked in directly and saluted respectfully.
"Heavy armor, come!"
Yuan Shu looked at this sturdy man, showed a comfortable smile, stood up, turned his head, pointed to a map of the big man behind him, and said, "There is something that you need to do." ”
"My lord, please command." Ji Ling stood up, his face was solemn, and he said loudly.
"Now Cao Mengde has pacified Yanzhou, but he has to guard against escaping from Chang'an, there have been tens of thousands of troops under the command of Hanoi and Shangdang Lu Bu, and there is no intention of sending troops to Yuzhou, and Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou because of the unification of Jiangdong, the troops must be placed in Jiangxia to guard against Sun Wentai, so we have no worries, it is a great opportunity, a certain and your 100,000 elite soldiers and horses, you can be sure that you will take Jiujiang County in one fell swoop!" Yuan Shu's eyes condensed, and with a finger, he pointed to the land of Jiujiang on the map, and asked.
"Lord, please rest assured, within three months, Ling will kill Liu Xuan and seize Jiujiang."
When Ji Ling heard this, his eyes were shining, a touch of battle intent burst out, full of confidence, the corners of his mouth outlined a sneer, and said analytically: "Liu Xuan's Yangzhou Assassin History was promulgated when Dong Thief controlled the imperial court, and was not recognized by the world, he settled in Jiujiang and imprisoned the three brothers of the Zhou family. Insignificant. ”
Tai Shi Ci not only defeated Dong Zhuo in the Weiyang Palace, but also fought with Lu Bu without defeat, this matter has spread all over the world, Tai Shi Ci's background is naturally dug out, and Liu Mi's unknown acquaintance also made the princes of the world laugh.
"Okay, a certain order, ten days to prepare, and then send troops!" When Yuan Shu heard this, he looked overjoyed and said: "It is important to take Jiujiang County before Jiangdong Sun Jian reacts, and the Jiangdong army must not be allowed to cross the river and enter Jiujiang." ”
The reason why he was in such a hurry was that he was afraid that Sun Jian would send troops one step ahead of him and seize Jiujiang, Sun Jian was not comparable to Liu Xuan, once Sun Jian got Jiujiang County, he would be equal to a strong enemy on three sides, and it would be difficult to move an inch.
"No!" Ji Ling nodded heavily.
……………………
Jingzhou, Jiangxia County.
The county guard's mansion, above the lobby, was the first to kneel and sit a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a dignified appearance, brocade robes, hair bunned, and beautiful hair under the chin, with the graceful demeanor of a family of scholars.
This person is Jiangxia Taishou, Huang Zu.
Liu Biao was able to enter Jingzhou with the help of the Jingzhou family, so he attached great importance to the Jingzhou scholars, and since he took control of Jingzhou, it was very important for these local powerful forces.
The Huang family is the first family in Jiangxia and has deep roots, so he appointed Huang Zu as the Taishou of Jiangxia to guard the eastern gate of Jingzhou to reject Jiangdong.
Huang Zu, although it is only a few strokes in history, but he is not not a busy person, he is the patriarch of the Huang family, Wen Taowu strategy, since the appointment of Jiangxia Taishou, the town guards, diligent training, and now Jiangxia soldiers, but only 50,000, but the combat power ranks first in Jingzhou.
In historical records, Huang Zu not only arranged to trap Sun Jian, but also led the Jiangxia soldiers to fight with Sun Ce and the Jiangdong Army in Sun Quan's era countless times, and finally in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, he was defeated by Sun Quan and was beheaded.
"How's Gao Forget?" In the hall, Huang Zu squinted his eyes and asked coldly to one of his spies.
"Report to your lordship, news has come from Yuzhang that Commander Gao has been captured!" The spy whispered.
"Hmph, it's really a useless thing, a little Hua Xin can't kill it, but Sun Jian still picked up Yuzhang for nothing."
Huang Zu said coldly: "Luo Luo, you take people on a trip, Gao Wu still has some ability, if he can save it, he will save it, and if he can't save it, he will be killed, and he must not be allowed to become a reason for the Jiangdong Army to attack Jiangxia." ”
Huang Zu is not afraid of Sun Jian, naturally he is not afraid of Gao Wang's words, he is afraid that Sun Jian will make a fuss about Gao Wangda and justifiably send troops to Jiangxia.
"No!" Huang Zu used the financial resources of the Huang family to collect many Jingzhou rangers, Gao Forget was good at assassination, and Luo Kun had the highest martial arts, both of whom were his henchmen. “
"My lord, now that Jiangdong is unified, it's not a good thing, what should we do?" Next to him, a delicate scribe whispered.
This person's name is Su Fei, and he is Huang Zu's first advisor.
"The soldiers are coming, what can you think?" In Huang Zu's eyes, the battle intent ignited, and he said lightly.
"Lord County Guard, only with the soldiers of Jiangxia, it is difficult to stop the Jiangdong Tigers, this matter must be reported to the lord, and troops from Nanjun can be sent to help, so as to prevent the Jiangdong Army from being outside Jiangxia." Su Fei bowed and said in a low voice.
"What you said is not bad, a certain is not afraid of Sun Wentai, but now that the six counties of Jiangdong are unified, the Jiangdong army is full of fine food, and the power of a certain county can be stopped, immediately report to the lord, increase the troops in Jiangxia, and strictly defend it, and, keep an eye on Chaisang, Jiangdong's naval army has been stationed in Chaisang." Huang Zu pondered for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "If Sun Wentai dares to come, he will definitely be beheaded in Jiangxia." ”
"No!" Su Fei nodded.
……………………………………
Yanzhou, Dongjun.
Since defeating the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and gathering nearly one million people, Yanzhou, which has been a little empty for many years of war, has developed rapidly, and Cao Cao has used this group of manpower to go around Tuntian, and the entire Yanzhou is full of vitality.
On this day, above the lobby, Cao Cao's face was a little heavy, a pair of eyes like eagles flashed with sharp light, staring at a battle report from Jiangdong, and sighed in his heart: "Hey! ”
"My lord, Jiangdong is unified, but the general trend is coming, what is the sigh?" Next to him, a white-clothed and fluttering military advisor with the name of sanity among Cao Jun smiled slightly and asked.
"What you said is right, Sun Wentai is understandable to unify Jiangdong, but he can take Yuzhang and Lujiang in such a short period of time, which makes a certain person a little surprised." Cao Cao remembered that when Bishui Pass was down, the Jiangdong Army that was chased and killed was almost cornered, and he couldn't help but feel some feelings in his heart.
"The lord thinks that Sun Jian's edict is a bit too coincidental, right?" Less than three months after taking refuge in Cao Cao, some gray robes, about thirty years old, and a somewhat lean Xun You, asked in a low voice.
"It's no coincidence!"
Xi Long squinted slightly, a glint burst out in his eyes, and said: "This is a plan, from Sun Quan going to Chang'an to rescue the driver, to Sun Jian getting the edict to unify Jiangdong, a very perfect plan, a good step." ”
"No, it won't!" Xun Yu looked cautious, a little incredulous, and said: "If this is the case, Sun Jian really has a capable person around him, this person has seen through the pattern of Chang'an, knows that Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu will die, and can also predict that Chang'an will fall again, so he has no memory of Chang'an." ”
"The world is in turmoil, and it is not surprising that there are countless talented people in troubled times." Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly remembered the amber and blue-eyed young man who led the troops to rescue him back then, but he was a little relieved in his heart, and said lightly: "A certain family can be helped by you and several other great talents, and Sun Wentai will never be under a certain family again." ”
"Lord, now Jiangdong and us are far away, even if they are strong, there is no need to worry, but Lu Bu is menacing, and he has the intention of entering Yanzhou." Xi Long whispered.
"Lu Bu?"
Cao Cao squinted his eyes, for this world's number one general, his eyes revealed a hint of jealousy.
