Chapter 228 Lu Su

Jiangxia

Outside Jiangxia City, the tents all over the sky cover the sky and the sun. If you stand on the tower and look down, you will be photographed by the majestic momentum of the army outside the city.

At this time, except for Jiangxia, Xiakou and Xiling, the three cities of Jiangxia County were not taken by Jiangdong, and the whole Jiangxia County had completely fallen into the hands of Jiangdong.

A few days ago, Jiangdong Sun Ce personally raised 100,000 troops on the waterway and captured the whole Jiangxia County with the momentum of sweeping the fallen leaves. At this time, there was only Jiangxia left in Jiangxia County, and the three cities of Xiakou and Xiling were still struggling to support it.

The 3,000 water army that Jiangxia relied on for survival was destroyed by the Jiangdong water army before there was time to fight. The 3,000 water army was completely destroyed, and all the ferries in Jiangxia County were burned. The counties in Jiangxia County had no resistance at all in front of Sun Ce's army, and were broken through by the Jiangdong army.

In just two days, all the counties in Jiangxia were captured by Sun Ce. Now hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong have surrounded the three cities of Jiangxia, and the famous Flying Dragon Army in Jingzhou has also been trapped in the city and helpless.

In the past few days, Sun Ce first ordered the general of Jiangdong. Zhou Tai, Han Dang and Jiang Qin led 15,000 troops respectively to block all the Flying Dragon Army in the three cities of Jiangxia. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Taishi Cibing were divided into three ways and controlled the whole Jiangxia County in just two days.

Now, except for the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Jiang Qin and Han Dang, the other 100,000 waterway troops in Jiangdong are all gathered outside Jiangxia City.

"Gong Jin, what's the situation of the army now?" In the big account of the Chinese army, all the generals under Sun Ce gathered here. Sun Ce was obviously very interested and looked at Zhou Yu with a smile on his face.

"Lord, now there are only more than a thousand people who have lost 100,000 troops in Jiangdong. In the past two days, they have captured all over Jiangxia. The morale of the soldiers is very high. They only need a little rest to attack the city and land again." Running around non-stop for two consecutive days, even Sun Ce's pro-guards were a little tired.

"Okay, now the whole Jiangxia County has been captured except for the three cities of Jiangxia. We have added a county in Jiangdong again. It only takes a day's rest, and our 100,000 troops in Jiangdong can go straight into the hinterland of Jingzhou and seize Jingzhou." Sun Ce laughed and said that the hatred of killing his father and the hatred of taking his wife is finally time to repay. How can Sun Ce not be unhappy?

"Lord, although the whole territory of Jiangxia has been captured now, the three cities of Jiangxia have not been captured at this time. In the opinion of subordinates, the lord should first capture these three cities before attacking Jingzhou. Now that Jiangxia has been captured by the lord, it has become the rear of the army. If the three cities are not captured, once there are any changes in Jiangxia, the rear unstable army will be in a worrying situation. Zhang Wei saw that everyone in the big account looked happy one by one. He was afraid that Sun Ce would be complacent because of this, and couldn't help reminding him.

"What the military division said is too careful. Now that the Wenpin army has been besieged the city, and the 20,000 flying dragon army and the 20,000 Jiangxia garrison are not enough to worry at all. I think the master will not let go of attacking the three cities of Jiangxia and continue to attack Jingzhou. Now if Jingzhou's internal and external troubles do not take this opportunity to take more places, wait for Liu Biao to do it. After the reaction, I will never be as smooth as it is today.

It was Zhou Tai, the general under Sun Ce's command, who was talking. Zhou Tai clearly guarded the outside of Jiangxia City to prevent the attack behind Wenpin in Jiangxia City. In the past two days, other generals have made more or less achievements. Only he, Jiang Qin and Han Dang did not go to the battle to kill the enemy.

Hearing the words of the two, Sun Ce hesitated. After years of renovation in Jingzhou, the three cities of Jiangxia were extremely tall. In addition, it was guarded by the Flying Dragon Army, one of the two elites in Jingzhou. Even if there were many soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, it would not be able to attack it in more than ten days.

But what Zhang Yu said is not unreasonable. He led the Jiangdong army to attack the hinterland of Jingzhou. Once something happens in Jiangxia, the back road of Jiangdong's more than 100,000 troops will be cut off. At that time, he may follow in his father's footsteps. Sun Jian's lesson has always been a wake-up call in his heart.

Sun Ce hesitated and surrendered his eyes to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was the only one who could make a reasonable decision at this time.

Sure enough, when he saw Sun Ce, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Master, Zigang is right. Now it is not suitable to continue to attack Jingzhou. Although Wen, the general of the Flying Dragon Army, was cautious, he took the right time. It was inevitable that he would find a flaw by besieging the three cities of Jiangxia for a long time. At that time, the rear was unstable and the army was depressed. Even if he waved his army to attack Jingzhou, it would be difficult to play a role.

"Moreover, Zhuge Liang, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, is now in Jiangxia. Although we don't know the talent of this person, the master should know what the talent of Pang Tong, who is as famous as him, should know. However, after arriving in Jiangxia, Jiangxia's government affairs will be handled in an orderly manner in just a few days, and the whole Jiangdong is probably only Zibu can compete with it. Now the master's army has captured the whole Jiangxia. If this person doesn't have a solution, he will definitely not sit idly by, so this person has to guard against it.

"When Cao Cao persuaded his lord to attack Jingzhou, he must be thinking about the benefits of the fisherman, so Cao Cao had to defend himself. Nowadays, Jingzhou is already an internal and external trouble, but its strength is indeed not weak. If Liu Biao really makes up his mind to fight, the war will not end in a few months, and the Lord's purpose is not just for Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu's tone can't help but increase a little. In his opinion, although Jingzhou's rise is not slow, now that there is turmoil, there is no need to be afraid. In addition, Jiangdong has captured Jiangxia, and Jingzhou's strength has suffered heavy losses. Sun Ce should now surrender to the north bank of the Yangtze River while stabilizing Jiangxia. After all, the biggest resistance for Jiangdong's rise is still Cao Cao.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce's face was uncertain. The capture of Jingzhou not only meant to expand his power, but also to repay the hatred of killing his father and his wife. Now listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, although Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yu was right, he was still a little uncertain.

Now that Jiangdong is stable, only the Shanyue people who hide in the mountains and forests can be threatened. The Shanyue people have just been severely damaged by him, and it will take at least a year to harass and disturb again. If they don't take this opportunity to break through Cao Cao's blockade, I'm afraid that the Sun clan will really be in Jiangdong.

Seeing that everyone in Sun Ce's big account was silent, they were very clear about Sun Ce's hatred for Jingzhou. At this time, no one except Zhou Yu could persuade Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu, who was beside him, didn't say anything. He just looked at Sun Ce calmly. In his opinion, Sun Ce is not a qualified prince. Sun Ce often does things impulsively regardless of the consequences. These are all shortcomings of Sun Ce. If Sun Ce can make the right choice today, then Sun Ce is suitable to be a prince and want to be a qualified one. The personal hatred of the princes is nothing at all.

Today, if Sun Ce chooses to attack the three cities of Jiangxia without moving, he will assist Sun Ce to become a hegemon even if he dies. If Sun Ce really forcibly captures Jingzhou regardless of the overall situation, he will still assist Sun Ce, but he can help Sun Ce defend Jiangdong. It's enough to reach the limit.

For half an hour, there was so much silence in the big tent that even the sound of breathing could not be heard. After half an hour of struggle, Sun Ce finally made a decision.

Sun Ce raised his head and looked at the crowd: "Gong Jin is right. Jingzhou has been worried about internal and external troubles. It can be attacked at any time. The main purpose of Jiangdong is to take this opportunity to break through the blockade of the Yangtze River and completely open up the situation in Jiangdong."

After Sun Ce just finished speaking, although many generals in the big account were a little frustrated, they were all excited. Sun Ce's ability to make this decision shows that Sun Ce has begun to learn how to be a prince. Zhou Yu and Zhang Yu looked at each other. Both of them saw the smile in each other's eyes. Sun Ce's maturity made both of them sincerely happy.

"The Lord is wise." Zhou Yu laughed.

"The Lord is wise." The people in the big tent also bowed and saluted.

"Haha, okay. I hope he can hunt Jingzhou with you and others on that day. Sun Ce saw that everyone couldn't help but be so bold, and the grievance in his heart just now disappeared. He immediately got up and shouted loudly.

"I am willing to drive for the main attack!" Everyone in the big tent hurriedly bowed and shouted in unison. At this time, everyone's faces were excited and shocked.

"I am willing to introduce a person to the lord, who will definitely help the lord plan to seize the world." Zhou Yu suddenly shouted respectfully, and there was indescribable joy in his voice.

"Oh, is Gong Jin serious about this?" The smile on Sun Ce's face was even brighter.

"How dares Gong Jin lie and deceive the master? This person is ten times better than Gong Jin, and he can plan the world for the Lord." Zhou Yu immediately bowed.

"Who is Gong Jin talking about?" The joy in Sun Ce's heart was beyond words, and he came forward to help Zhou Yu and said.

"This person's surname is Lu Mingsu, and his name is Zijing. He is a good friend of the last general. Zijing is not under Gongjin. The skill of planning the layout is ten times better than Gongjin. If the lord can get the help of this person, he will get twice the result with half the effort, and the hegemony can be achieved." What Zhou Yu said was exactly Lu Su, and Lu Su was his, but because his mother passed away and kept filial piety at home, Zhou Yu had already introduced him to Sun Ce.

"Where is this person now?" Sun Ce immediately asked.

"This person is in the big account under his subordinates." Saying that Zhou Yu ordered someone to invite Lu Su. After defeating Jingzhou Xu Shu in Yuzhang County this time, he rushed to Lujiang County. On the way, Zhou Yu secretly went to Lu Su's home to invite Lu Su. Although Lu Su is in mourning period at this time, the situation in the world is changing now. If you are not careful, Jiangdong will have the possibility of overthrowing at any time, because Zhou Yu was interested in Lu Suxiao and asked him to go out of the mountain to assist Sun Ce.

However, although Lu Su promised Zhou Yu to go out of the mountain, he proposed to stay in Sun Ce's camp for a period of time to observe Sun Ce's character before making a decision. Now Sun Ce is at a time when his heart is surging. Lu Su can plan for Sun Ce, but he can be reused by Sun Ce.
