Chapter 111 Little Overlord's Expedition
All the people in Jiangdong above the hall have gathered here, but Sun Ce did not appear as usual, but sent people to send letters to make them wait. Even Zhang Zhao was blocked when he went to invite him. This was the first time that such a situation happened.
Although Qin Song's status in Jiangdong is not as good as Zhang Zhao's, he is also a famous figure in Jiangdong, so his status in Jiangdong is not low. At this time, he couldn't help but ask when he saw such a situation. Qin Song stepped forward a few steps to Zhang Zhao and asked, "Brother Zibu, what on earth happened? The lord actually summoned everyone for discussion.
Zhang Zhao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This matter is of great importance. As for whether to announce it or not, you have to wait for the master's order. It's better not to ask again, but this matter is not a small matter. It's better for cousin Wen to prepare early."
Seeing what Zhang Zhao said solemnly, Qin Song was not asking and was also a little worried. After all, things that could make Zhang Zhao feel difficult were rarely encountered, and then he returned to the original place and waited patiently.
When everyone was a little impatient, Sun Ce came out with a calm face, holding the bamboo slips taken by Zhang Zhao in his hand.
"See the Lord." Everyone saw Sun Ce come out and hurriedly saluted.
Sun Ce took a look at everyone: "Let's wait for a long time. There is a major event that needs to be discussed with you this time. After saying that, he handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the hand of the soldier beside him and said, "Nian!"
Everyone has long noticed that the bamboo slips in Sun Ce's hands have been speculating about what was in the bamboo slips. Qin Song, who had been informed in advance by Zhang Zhao, also stared at the bamboo slips tightly and hoped to know what happened. Zhang Zhao frowned bitterly. He couldn't imagine that Sun Ce would make this matter public. It is not difficult for him to imagine what kind of earthquake the content on the bamboo slips would cause in Jiangdong.
No matter what everyone thought, the soldiers had opened the bamboo slip and began to read, "The last general Cheng Pu worshipped him. When the last general led the guard to Yuzhang County, Liu Qi in Jingzhou had already robbed the horse farm and left. The last general chased Lujiang County to find the traces of Liu Qi and others in the Pengze area. However, after detailed investigation, he knew that Liu Qi actually pretended to be the personal guard. The two ladies who were robbed have returned to Jingzhou at this time. The last general and General Chai Sangling will attack Jingzhou together to save the two wives. Please make a decision.
When the soldiers read out the contents of the bamboo slips, the people in the hall were shocked and couldn't say anything. For Liu Qi, it was also because Liu Qi killed Sun He, the general of Jiangdong. However, Liu Qi, after all, there were less than a thousand people who could do what to do. As soon as the army arrived, Liu Qi and others would naturally be captured. Unexpectedly, In just a few days, there was news again. Liu Qi actually robbed the two ladies, and the two wives of the tang wu hou and the governor of Jiangdong were robbed. If others said it, they would not believe it anyway, but now Sun Ce said it and they had to believe it.
After the shock, the people bowed their heads and were silent. Even they had to digest such a big event for a period of time, and they all guessed the intention of Sun Ce's story.
Such a great shame and humiliation. If it were someone else, they would not have said it in any case, but Sun Ce would have to make them speculate.
Zhang Zhao, Qin Song and other people all dare not bow their heads to the countermeasures, while Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai, Jiang Qin and other generals on the other side were spewing fire after the initial shock, and their faces were angry. If Sun Ce hadn't said anything, they would have come forward long ago.
The Lord insulted the minister and his death. Such a great humiliation is not only Sun Ce, but also those who work for Sun Ce. Compared with Zhang Zhao and Qin Song, who need to consider different factors in all aspects, for these generals, the master should be beaten back to double the insults they have received.
Sun Ce, who was on the main seat, looked at the people below and was also silent. If Sun He's death last time made him realize his agance, complacency and shortcomings, then this time it was like a basin of cold water directly poured from his head and completely woke him up, so that he did not dare to have any luck and agance. There are more than thousands of people in the world who are more famous and talented than Liu Qi, but a cavalry with less than a thousand people Liu Qi can cause so much trauma to him and Jiangdong, let alone others.
Looking at the people, Sun Ce said, "What do you think you should do at this time?"
Huang Gai, who couldn't help it for a long time, stepped forward and said, "The last general is willing to kill Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Qi will bring their heads back to Jiangdong."
After Huang Gaigang finished speaking, Zhu Zhi, Jiang Qin, Quan Rou and other generals came forward one after another and said in unison, "The last general is willing to kill Liu Qi in Jingzhou, and Liu Qi will bring their heads back to Jiangdong."
Sun Ce's heart was full of relief when he saw the formation of more than ten people. Sun Ce nodded slightly. Sun Ce looked at Zhang Zhao and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhang Zhao said bravely, "Is it inappropriate for the lord to start a war with Jingzhou at this time? The situation in the north is becoming increasingly urgent. This is not the time to go to war with Jingzhou. Moreover, if you want to destroy the mobilization of Jingzhou's army, you need a lot of grain and fodder. The grain and fodder reserves in Jiangdong may not last long. Please think twice.
If you can destroy Jingzhou at once, Zhang Zhao is in favor of it. However, although Liu Biao in Jingzhou is not good at military affairs in recent years, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are enough to protect themselves. Even if all the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong can pacify Jingzhou is hard to say? If it succeeds, it will naturally be fine, but if it fails, Jiangdong will definitely lose a lot of money in a few years. Once Jiangdong encounters any major event, Jiangdong will be in danger.
Qin Song also came forward and said, "Zhang Changshi is right. The major event of the soldier's country should not be taken lightly. If the lord really wants to do this, he must be fully prepared to capture Jingzhou in one fell swoop, otherwise the army will only labor the people and lose a lot of money."
After the two finished speaking, more than a dozen officials behind them also came forward and said, "Please think twice."
Seeing Zhang Zhao and others blocking him, Huang Gai immediately shouted, "How can such a strange humiliation be tolerated? The humiliation of the Lord is not only about the reputation of the Lord, but also about how the face of the whole Jiangdong can look forward and backward like this." After saying that, he took Sun Ce and said, "Please order the last general to be the vanguard and kill Liu Qi."
After Huang Gai just finished speaking, Zhu Zhi also came forward and said, "Yes, if the lord doesn't go out of the army, wouldn't it come to the ears of the people in the world at this time that the lord is afraid of Liu Biao, and ask the lord to order him to send troops."
Sun Ce, who was on the main seat, got up and said, "I haven't been insulted so far for the Marquis of Wu. If I don't punish Jingzhou, I'm afraid Jiangdong will become the laughing stock of the whole world. How can I live in the world?" After saying that, he said solemnly, "Huang Gai, Quan Rou, Jiang Qin and Zhu Zhi obey the order!"
"The end will be!" Huang Gai and several people immediately bowed to the order.
Sun Ce said to Huang Gai: "Huang Gai is the general of Zhengdong to mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses to conquer Jingzhou. Zhu Zhi is the general of the town army and Huang Gai to lead the army together. Huang Gai is the master, and Zhu Zhi is the auxiliary. Jiang Qin led 5,000 troops to set out first for the vanguard, and Quanrou guarded the rear army to escort the grain and fodder without any slack.
"No!" Huang Gai and several people immediately bowed.
Sun Ce looked at Zhang Zhao, Qin Song and others: "Zibu is fully responsible for all the grain and fodder needed by the army to go on the expedition. All things in Jiangdong are also handed over to Zi Bu, and the surrender of the documents to Jingzhou will also be sent out in the next few days."
Zhang Zhao knew that Sun Ce had made up his mind and did not persuade him to move forward and said, "No."
Sun Ce added: "Ten days later, all the grain and fodder will be provided by the counties along the way, and then the grain and fodder will be transported. Order to mobilized 30,000 personal guards to go on an expedition with Benhou to flatten Jingzhou.
When everyone heard that Sun Ce was going to go on an expedition in person, they were shocked and said, "Lord..."
Sun Ce shouted, "You are better than persuading me to make a decision. You can prepare as soon as possible." After saying that, get up and leave.
