Chapter 99 Little Overlord's Ambition
Sun Ce's think tank Han Dang, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Jun and others analyzed Yuan Shu's complaints together. Combined with their understanding of Yuan Shu's nature, they finally concluded that Yuan Shu's ambition was lofty and he was not an ordinary dil. Therefore, in this case, Sun Ce secretly gave Yuan Shu the national jade seal that the family had hidden for many years.
Obtaining the national jade seal, combined with the folk ballad, Yuan Shu had to think that he was the real dragon emperor who replaced the Han Dynasty! Yuan Shu, who was extremely happy, immediately said to Sun Ce: He can arbitrarily conquer all places in the name of eliminating the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army and bandits. If the local warlords block it, they will kill them. The food, fodder and military supplies consumed by Sun Ce's army in the war were unconditionally supplied by Yuan Shu.
These food and fodder and materials were also collected by Yuan Shu from the princes of all parties. The first level of the official university is to kill people. Who says that the herdsman of a state is the official rank of the third grade? Yuan Shu is the general of Zhennan, who is a second-grade official. Yuan Shu issued a notice to the states: In the name of General Zhennan, he entrusted Sun Ce, the captive general of Jiangdong, to destroy the remaining yellow scarf army forces and bandits in all states. The officers and soldiers of all states must provide unconditional support, otherwise they will be dealt with in violation of the order and kill them on the spot.
The notice provides a realistic basis for Sun Ce to send troops to all parties, and he is also famous. Of course, the notice is one thing, and whether the warlords of all parties comply with it or not. As soon as the announcement was issued, the first thing that violated was Jingzhou; Liu Yu in Qingzhou was stationed in Nantong County and Jiangbei County, and did not let Sun Ce's army enter the territory of Qingzhou at will!
In the Three Kingdoms in troubled times, everything is in short supply. No matter how small the mosquito is, there is meat on the legs. An inch of land and an inch of gold must be fought. Who is willing to give up the already small amount of food?
With the support of Yuan Shu, Sun's side is clearly aware of the future development pattern and direction: Qingzhou's boundary has fallen into disintegration due to the intervention of various forces at this time. The territory actually controlled by Qingzhou Mu Liu Yu is only Nantong County and Jiangbei County. If these two counties can be taken from Liu Yu, the strength of Sun Group will be qualitatively improved. Then the hope of revenge against Jiangxia Huangzu can become a reality, just around the corner.
A sunny and sunny day in spring, the military fortress of Fengqiao Town. In a simple courtyard, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the flowers are red and the grass is green. Sun Cezheng, the overlord of Jiangdong, and his confidants discussed military affairs in Taoyuan.
The spring breeze is blowing, and the peach blossoms are beautiful. Sun Ce sits in the north and south and kneels on the main seat. His subordinates such as Zhang Zhao, Han Dang, Zhu Jun, Lu Su and others sit separately.
A huge military map is hung behind Sun Ce, which was also provided by Yuan Shu to Sun Ce. When marching and fighting, the map is very important. According to the map, it can reduce a lot of blindness. Sun Ce is handsome, and his beauty is no less than that of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao. Sun Ce wore his father Sun Jian's equipment: silver star dragon scales, with a blue cloth scarf on his head and tiger-headed combat boots.
Sun Ce's eyes were like a torch to inspect the crowd. After briefly saying the opening remarks, he asked everyone to get the latest information and tell his views on the upcoming war.
Zhang Zhao, who was nearly 50 years old, brushed his white beard and said to Sun Ce in a low voice, "Lord Sun, all the military supplies provided by Yuan Shu are in place, and our grain and grass truck will arrive in Fengqiao Town in three days."
Sun Ce nodded to Zhang Zhao with satisfaction when he heard the words. Zhang Zhao is the leading clan in Wu County and the iron partner of Sun Ce's father Sun Jian. At the beginning, he fought everywhere for Sun Jian and contributed. No matter whether he won or lost, there is no complaint. Now in order to support Sun Ce's attack on Qingzhou, Zhang Zhao also selected 2,000 soldiers from the clan to be dispatched by Sun Ce. If Sun Ce fails to attack Qingzhou this time, then Zhang Zhao's clan will be greatly injured and unable to recover in decades... This is a gamble, a big bet: if you win, everyone will be happy; if you lose, it will be defeated, and it will be difficult to turn over.
Han Dang opposite Zhang Zhao. He waited for Zhang Zhao to finish speaking. He looked at Zhang Zhao respectfully and said to Sun Ce with his beard, "Lord Sun, our 20,000 soldiers have gathered in the Shentingling Valley, and we can launch an attack on Cixi County at any time!"
If Zhang Zhao is responsible for the logistics of Sun's troops, then the veteran Han Dang is responsible for the dispatch of Sun Jiajun. Han was over forty years old, and he was a rich family in Fuchun County. Han Dang and Sun Jian belonged to the kind of relationship that he did not know each other. Finally, he became a hardcore ally of the Sun family. In this attack on Qingzhou, Han Dang provided all the 5,000 soldiers of the whole clan to Sun Ce. Like Zhang Zhao, he also gambled with the mentality of breaking the boat.
Hearing Han Dang's sonorous words, Sun Ce's eyes flashed, and then he focused his eyes on Zhu Jun. After Zhu Jun respectfully looked at Zhang Zhao and Han, he arched his hand and said to Sun Ce, "Lord Sun, Shanyue barbarians are Yan Baihu. Rao Shuai, Zulang and others have led their own tribes to rebel... Lieutenant Pan Zhang and Sima Lv Meng have led 4,000 soldiers to suppress the barbarian tribe. Everything is under our control. Please let Sun release. Heart!"
Zhu Jun is the largest clan in Huiji County, and Pan Zhang mentioned in his mouth is also a rich family in Huiji County. When Sun Ce heard Zhu Jun's words, although his expression was calm, there was still a trace of worry in his heart: the mountains and the barbarians relied on the deep mountains and forests, often went back on their word and often caused trouble to the Sun Group. As long as Pan Zhang and Lv Meng II can control the situation in the mountains of southern Xinjiang, and as long as the Sun Group does not face the second-line battle, he will be satisfied. Sun Ce can't do his best to completely eliminate the rebellious Shanyue barbarians. After all, the southern border is full of deep mountains and old forests. As long as the mountain and Yue barbarians are hidden in it, they will have no choice. The cunning satisfaction does not confront Sun Jiajun face to face at all. It will only harass and guerrilla warfare!
Sun Ce nodded to Zhu Jun calmly, and then turned his eyes to Lu Su. Lu Su is the young master of the Cao Gang. His family is a super rich family in the Chaohu Realm. Lu Su is a wise martial artist who admires Sun Ce. Under the introduction of Lujiang Yingjie Zhou Yu, he joined the Sun Group.
Although Lu Su's martial arts skills are average, he comes from the Cao Gang, which makes him have a unique advantage: he has a unique advantage over Jingzhou and Qingzhou. The geography and customs of Yangzhou and Youzhou are extremely familiar, which is as familiar with how many hairs you have.
Lu Su has the advantage of geography and local customs, which makes him play a pivotal role in the Sun Group. Although he has been joining for a short time, he and another prominent Zhuge Jin have become the core think tank around Sun Ce.
When Lu Su saw that Sun Ce was paying attention to him, he got up and bowed to the people present, and then he walked to the huge map behind Sun Ce. He picked up a thin stick and pointed to the map and explained to the crowd: "Lord Sun, colleagues, under the leadership of lieutenants Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals, our 20,000 soldiers have completed a preliminary military plan: garrison in Shentingling Valley, launch an attack on the enemy Cixi County at any time! Please see: As long as we successfully capture the military fortress Cixi County as we wish, then Nanxu, Qu'a, Muling and other cities will lose the barrier of protection. As long as our troops are under the city, it is easy to occupy these cities... When we occupy Jiangbei County and Jianye, we can breathe the Yangtze River and directly attack the old thief Liu Yu's nest. Jiangdu County, the important town of Nantong County. Finally, the rich area in the south of Qingzhou belongs to us!"
After Lu Su said the complete combat plan, this was linear thinking; then he diverged his thinking and said to everyone carefully: "Lord Sun, colleagues, due to the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, the old thief Liu Yu will definitely not engage in a short-term position battle with us to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses. The old thief Liu Yu's side will only take a defensive battle relying on the city, in an attempt to consume our living power with the defense of the city... However, in order to get rid of Cixi County, the city occupied by Liu Yu, its wall is only seven or eight meters high. Can such a wall resist our siege? The result is clear! According to preliminary estimates, as long as we fight hard, we will be able to hit Liu Yu's nest in half a year... At that time, it will be convenient for me to share Qingzhou with Cao Cao, the pastor of Gozhou!"
At this time, Lu Su did not know how strong Tai Shici's power was. He thought that Tai Shici was still a small role, relying on the alliance of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army to manage several small places. Although the Cao Gang has a station in Donglai County, those personnel have been assimilated by Taishi Ci's side and become two-sided details. Can such a member of the Cao Gang provide true information to Lu Su?
