"Show me!" Zhang Yan immediately stretched out his hand and shouted at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu handed the secret report to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan took the secret report, opened it, and hurriedly looked at it, and his brows furrowed.

"Lord, is something happening in Jiangdong?" Seeing Zhang Yan like this, Jia Xu hurriedly asked.

Zhang Yan sighed heavily, handed the secret report in his hand to Jia Xu, and said softly: "You can see it at a glance!" ”

Jia Xu took the secret report, looked at it hurriedly, was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lord, this matter is not trivial, if it is allowed to develop, Jiangdong will definitely no longer be controlled by the lord, and a decision will be made as soon as possible." ”

The secret report was sent by Chen Deng, and Sun Ce secretly crossed south from Xunyang, captured Chaisang in Yuzhang County, and then went all the way south from Chaisang, successively conquering Liling and Haiyang counties.

Yuzhang Taishou Liangmao led the army to resist, but was defeated by Sun Ce, and even Nanchang, the county town of Yuzhang County, was conquered by Sun Ce.

Not only that, the thieves Kou Zulang and Jiao Ji, who were originally attached to Zhang Yan, together with Yan Baihu, rebelled together, Yan Baihu proclaimed himself King De of Eastern Wu, Zu Lang claimed to be King Xin of Western Wu, and Jiao had proclaimed himself King Ren of Southern Wu, and instigated the commander of the Shanyue Sect of Wu County, Huiji, and Danyang to rebel together and capture the prefecture and county, and in just a few days, there were more than 100,000 people.

Jiao has led tens of thousands of troops to attack Shanyin, the county seat of Huiji County, Huiji Taishou Liang has few soldiers and cannot resist, so he was forced to retreat to Qiantang, but he was attacked by Yan Baihu and led the army, and he has not been killed so far.

Zu Lang led the crowd to attack Jinling County, broke several cities in a row, and fought with Chen Deng in Moling.

It can be said that now the situation in the whole of Jiangdong is in chaos. In the east, Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao have instigated Shanyue to rebel. In the west, Sun Ce captured Yuzhang. These two events happened at about the same time, which is too much of a coincidence.

In fact, Zhang Yan's heart is similar to that of Mingjing, Sun Ce attacked Yuzhang, Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao have rebelled, this is definitely not as simple as a coincidence, this is deliberately done by someone.

In Zhang Yan's heart, he could probably guess a thing or two. This must be Sun Ce playing tricks in secret.

At the beginning, when Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong, Zhang Yan used Zu Lang and Jiao Ji to deal with Sun Ce, and now Sun Ce in turn uses Zu Lang and Jiao Ji to deal with himself, is this a kind of revenge for Sun Ce?

The situation in Jiangdong is turbulent, which seems to confirm Chen Qun's original view, if he sends troops to suppress it, he will be completely mired in the quagmire of war in Jiangdong, and if he does not send troops, he will completely lose control of Jiangdong.

Time. Zhang Yan had a headache and didn't know what to do. Feeling a dilemma.

At this moment, the room was unusually quiet, Zhang Yan raised his eyelids, glanced at Jia Xu who was standing in front of him, and asked: "The situation in Jiangdong has gotten out of control, what advice do you have on this matter?" ”

Jia Xu said: "My subordinates thought that Sun Ce's attack on Yuzhang in the south must be inextricably linked with the rebellion of Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao Ji, otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence, and these people were in chaos in Jiangdong at the same time." Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, and Jiao are already some rabble, and if the lord sends a large army to suppress it, he will definitely be able to put down the rebellion. However, Jiangdong Shanyue is extremely widely distributed, and it cannot be pacified overnight, even if the lord sends troops to suppress this rebellion, but it will not be long before Shanyue will rebel again. In this way, our army will repeat the cycle, and it will inevitably consume a great deal of troops. However, the geographical location of Jiangdong is very superior, and it cannot be discarded at will, and the subordinates think that they can reduce their forces, protect Jinling County alone, and turn Jinling into a military town that can be defended and attacked. ”

After Zhang Yan heard this, he felt that Jia Xu's words were at the point, and there was something hidden in it, so he asked, "Do you mean Sun Ce?" ”

Jia Xu said: "I have heard about Sun Ce's desire to occupy Jiangdong last year, and it can be seen that Sun Ce is a very ambitious person, he wants to ask Yuan Shu as much as possible, but he is suffering from no liliang, so he borrowed the jade seal in exchange for soldiers and horses, and crossed the river to Jiangdong in a mighty way, at first the situation was very good, but how could the lord lead the army to unite with Liu Xuan, and smashed Sun Ce's attempt to occupy Jiangdong. This time, Sun Ce crossed the river from Xunyang and conquered several cities one after another, probably wanting to make a comeback. But he was afraid that the lord would interfere too much, so he secretly united Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others, wanting them to attract the lord's attention, and then he could concentrate on developing in Yuzhang. However, Sun Ce will definitely not be limited to capturing a county, once he has enough strength, he will inevitably lead his army eastward, sweep Jiangdong, and completely occupy Jiangdong. Therefore, Yan Baihu, Zu Lang, Jiao Ji and others, when they go to Zuihou, they will definitely be eliminated by Sun Ce. ”

After Zhang Yan listened, Hahadaxiao got up, and admired Jia Xu's analytical ability very much, so he said: "I understand what you mean, you mean, let Sun Ce be my sharp blade to eliminate these thieves, right?" ”

Jia Xu said: "That's what subordinates mean. Moreover, even if Sun Ce pacified these rebels, he would definitely not be idle, because there are still Shanyue in Jiangdong, and if he wants to completely conquer Shanyue, Sun Ce will not be able to complete it in a few years. But in order to prevent Sun Ce from sitting on the throne, the lord still had to send troops to attack Sun Ce's rear in a timely manner, so Jinling County became another sharp blade of the lord. ”

Zhang Yan was very appreciative of Jia Xu's analysis, and even though he made a decision, he wrote a letter with a pen, and informed Chen Deng of his intentions, so that Chen Deng had full authority to deal with Jiangdong affairs, but there was a premise, Jinling County must not be lost.

Sun Ce crossed south and captured Yuzhang, and Zhang Yan could no longer find him to do internal response, so he asked Jia Xu for advice.

Jia Xu formulated three strategies for Zhang Yan, let Zhang Yan implement them together, if the three strategies are successful, then even if Yuan Shu is called the emperor in Huainan, then it is no longer terrible.

First, he sent people to Runan to contact the Yellow Turban remnants who temporarily attached themselves to Yuan Shu, and promised to be a high-ranking official and tried their best to win them over.

Second, he secretly sent someone to contact Liu Xun, the general of Yuan Shu's department, who was already the Taishou of Lujiang and had quite a lot of soldiers in his hands, but this person loved money very much.

Third, in the name of the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shu was sealed again to show weakness to Yuan Shu, so as to gain more time to prepare for Yuan Shu.

Zhang Yan saw that Jia Xu's three strategies were very desirable, so he agreed to Jia Xu's strategy.

So, Zhang Yan sent Xu Chu to Runan alone, directly contacted the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and brought Zhang Yan the seal to canonize their official positions.

The reason why Xu Chu was allowed to go was because Xu Chu's reputation was great in Huai and Ru, and his martial arts were strong enough to deter the Yellow Turban Yu Party.

In addition, Zhang Yan sent Kan Ze, who was eloquent and skillful, to ask him to contact Liu Xun.

zuihou, Zhang Yan went to Chonghua Palace, invited the Son of Heaven, added Yuan Shu as Taifu, and named Yuan Shu as the Marquis of Hefei.

Although Liu Xie didn't understand what Zhang Yan meant by doing this, he still agreed, and still asked Fu Wan to go to Huainan Shouchun with the holy decree to read it out for Yuan Shu.

Three days later, the battle report came from Jiangdong again.

Chen Deng gathered his troops at Moling to meet Zu Lang, but secretly sent Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to sneak out of the rest of the city gates, detour back behind Zu Lang, and attack Zu Lang secretly.

Then, he ordered people to open the city gate, led the crowd to join forces with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qinli, attacked back and forth, and defeated Zulang.

In fact, when Zu Lang led the army to arrive, the edge was in full swing, so Chen Deng took the initiative to lure the enemy into the depths, took the initiative to avoid his edge, and made Zu Lang arrogant, and then defeated Zu Lang in one fell swoop.

Zu Lang was defeated, Chen Deng drove troops to cover up, and the Zu Lang who was killed was full of urine, and the corpses were everywhere for more than ten miles. Zu Lang led the remnants of the army back to Wanling, not daring to invade Jinling again.

And Yan Baihu tried to commit Qu'a, but he was also defeated by Chen Deng's design, and like Zu Lang, he didn't dare to commit Jinling County again.

Zu Lang and Yan Baihu were defeated by Chen Deng one after another, so that Chen Deng's reputation suddenly rose in Jiangdong, and even the original Liu Xuan's subordinates were willing to drive him to the five bodies that Chen Deng admired.

In addition, Chen Deng also specially sent someone to escort Liu Xuan across the river and sent him to Pengcheng, and Zhang Yan invited the Son of Heaven to entitle Chen Deng as the assassin of Yangzhou, the Taishou of Jinling, and gave him a holiday to be fully responsible for the military and political affairs of Jiangdong.

After Fu finished with the holy decree, he came to Shouchun again, and immediately read out the holy decree of sealing Yuan Shu as the Taifu and enshrined as the Marquis of Hefei.

Today's Yuan Shu is only obsessed with being the emperor, no matter how much he is sealed, he is not as powerful as the emperor, but Yuan Shu still accepts the canonization.

After that, Fu Wan praised Yuan Shu again, and said that Zhang Yan was also afraid of Yuan Shu and coaxed Yuan Shu to be happy.

Yuan Shu was happy, so he rewarded him with 500 gold, and after Hao Hao entertained Fu Wan, he let people send him away.

On the other hand, Kan Ze came to Lujiang, contacted Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, tempted Liu Xun with huge benefits, and promised that after the matter was completed, Liu Xun would be named the Marquis of Huainan.

Driven by interests, Liu Xun secretly made an oath and expressed his willingness to join forces with Zhang Yan to make internal responses in Yuan Shu's army.

In addition, Xu Chu was alone, riding a war horse, carrying a seal ribbon and several holy decrees, wearing civilian clothes, and swaggered to Runan.

At this time, He Yi, Liu Pi, and He Man, who were attached to Yuan Shu, were stationed in Ruyin, Gushi and Xiyang respectively.

Xu Chu set off from Pengcheng and came all the way to Ruyin, which is the place where He Yi was stationed, although He Yi, Liu Pi, and He Man are not subordinate, but among the three, it is He Yi who is in charge. Along the way, Xu Chu inquired very clearly, so he decided to go to Ruyin first, if He Yi did not agree, he was looking for Liu Bi or He Man.

The gate of Ruyin City was wide open, but it seemed very depressed here, and Xu Chu rode a horse and entered Ruyin City directly.

It has been occupied by yellow turban thieves, and the county town is also very deserted, and the people have moved east to Xuzhou in order to escape the scourge of war.

Today's Xuzhou is already a happy land, under the rule of Zhang Yan, it has returned to its former prosperity, and after the Son of Heaven moved to Pengcheng, it has given birth to a wave of immigration.

Xu Chu went straight to the gate of the county ya, did not get off the horse, and shouted directly to the people guarding the gate of the county ya: "Where is He Yi?" (To be continued......)
