It was Zhang Liaobu, who was the most brave and good at fighting under Zhang Xiu, who borrowed the Hebei fleet. Although the Xiliang soldiers of Zhang Liao's headquarters grew up in the desolate northwest, they could still be competent to select an elite soldier and use it as a beach raid.

Facts have once again proved that the fierce Xiliang soldiers have shown very strong combat effectiveness in the melee and chaotic battles. Under the blow and cover of an unexpected wave of arrow rain, the Xiliang soldiers soon succeeded in creating chaos in the water village. Then he wantonly exerted his strong combat effectiveness to create casualties and destroy the resistance of the Niu Zhu defenders.

On the contrary, if Zhang Liaobu chooses to attack directly head-on, it will be quite difficult to take Niu Zhu. Niuzhu Beach is along the river for dozens of miles, all of which are rocky mountain cliffs and dangerous shoals, and there is no Jiangjin ferry suitable for landing. It is precisely because of this why Niu Zhu is important. So if you want to take Niu Zhu, you can only choose to attack head-on. However, in this case, the Niuzhu garrison can maximize the role of high rocky mountains such as quarry rocks.

In this way, there were more than 3,000 defenders with Niu Zhu, plus 2,000 Dongwu sailors who escorted grain and grass. But it is perfectly kept. At the same time, you can also quickly alert the horse and call the garrisons of Shicheng and Danyang counties not far from Niuzhu to rescue. At this time, it was impossible to take Niuzhu by wading through the mountains and climbing the mountain with the Xiliang soldiers, who were not good at water warfare.

Therefore, Zhang Xiujun had to deceive in the attack on Niu Zhu. Let the big ships full of elite soldiers mix into the Jiangwan Water Village, and the inside and outside should join forces to seize the river defense fortress of Niuzhu.

As a result, Zhang Xiujun's southern expedition to Jiangdong won the first battle! not only took Niu Zhu and captured Quan Rou, the commander of Danyang appointed by Sun Ce, but also intercepted the grain and grass supplies shipped to Chaisang this month in one fell swoop, which can be said to have made a lot of gains.

Zhang Liaojun, who attacked Niuzhu, did not seem to be satisfied, but only let the vanguard troops take control of Niuzhu. After the soldiers of Zhang Liaobu who landed later assembled, they set out as a group, either to the inland of Jiangdong or along the river. Until nightfall, the last grain ship unloaded the last Zhang Liao army soldiers, and the last battalion of soldiers and horses to complete the assembly of all the troops and horses sneaked towards the hinterland of Jiangdong, regardless of the darkness of the night.

Waiting for the soldiers and horses of this battalion to march in full armor under the starry sky, Zhang Xiu, who was standing on the quarry rock, sighed slightly. No longer looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jiangdong, he turned his head to look at Quan Rou, who was still Sun Wu in the morning.

From morning to now, Quan Rou has not guessed the identity of the young general in front of him. It's not that he can't think of it, it's that he doesn't dare to think about it at all.

"General Quan, as the lieutenant of Danyang County, you should be able to deduce the next victory or defeat!" Zhang Xiu's eyes were fixed on Quan Rou, and she said in an extremely calm tone.

Quan Rou pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Your army's 20,000 soldiers and horses will take the avenue directly to Shicheng and Danyang, and 10,000 soldiers and horses will take the small road to take Moling. Needless to say, it is difficult for Shicheng to react in a hurry, even if Danyang City in the back gets the alarm and has some buffer time, but with only a thousand village soldiers, it is difficult to resist tens of thousands of soldiers. As for Moling City, which is high and deep, even though there is Wu Junshou in the town, the elite soldiers of Danyang have already exhausted their efforts to march westward, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled can only resist for a while. ”

Hearing the unexpected analysis of Quan Rouquan, who commanded all the military horses in northern Danyang, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but smile: "Yes, with my 30,000 Xiliang male soldiers, I will attack Danyang County but Erer. It's just a quick attack, but it's just a small test. If I say to General Quan that this is just the beginning of the beginning, then General Quan thinks that I have an army of 40,000 and how far can I fight in Jiangdong? ”

It's him, it's him!

Quan Rou is not stupid, from the tone and bearing, Quan Rou can conclude that it is the lord of Huainan who is standing in front of him - Zhang Xiu. It's just that at this moment, Quan Rou still can't fully believe that everything he encountered today is not a dream!

Quan Rou, who was in a trance, did not answer Zhang Xiu's question, but asked, "What level does the general want to fight?" Why did the general go to war against Koto? ”

Zhang Xiu was stunned, but she didn't expect Quan Rou to ask this question so quickly.

"I think, annex Koto!" Zhang Xiu said softly: "My foundation lies in Huainan, if I let the Sun family sit firmly in Jiangdong, it is tantamount to raising a tiger behind me!" ”

Quan Rou, who got the answer, was not satisfied: "Sun Lang is in the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, and he has the advantage of being across the river, and there is a time when the two powerhouses in the north compete for power. If you do this, you are going against the sky! ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he suddenly turned into a cold face, and said in an intolerable tone: "It is precisely because of the desire of the Sun people that it must be eradicated as soon as possible!" ”

Perhaps realizing that his reaction was a little too much, Zhang Xiu regained his calm expression in a blink of an eye, pointed to the ground with his finger at Quan Rou, and said with a smile: "This Niu Zhu, this quarry rock, isn't it the 'geographical advantage' across the river that the Sun family is proud of, but aren't these trampled under my feet at this moment?" ”

"As for the time of day, I, Zhang Wenjin, have always believed that man will conquer the sky. Some people are willing to wait patiently, but I prefer to create opportunities on my own! ”

Zhang Xiu said it bluntly, and the words were loud, blowing away the doubts in Quan Rou's heart like seeing the sun. At the same time, these words with deep meaning also deeply shook the two young people who followed Zhang Xiu in person.

After a long while, Quan Rou, who had eased up, took a step back, looked at the ground, and bowed: "Quan Rou never expected that in the Xiliang Valve, there would be such a majestic person as the general. In the past, Dong Guoxiang caused chaos in most of the world, and Jiangdong was spared because of its remote location. Now, Quan Rou hopes that the general will not bring the name of the jackal of the Xiliang soldiers to Jiangdong! ”

"That's natural, if the Jiangdong fathers and elders are willing to be a peaceful and obedient people, I, Zhang Wenjin, must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people. However, not all Jiangdong people are as 'sensible' as General Quan, so I will not be soft on what should be done. Zhang Xiu squinted at Quan Rou, but in fact, she was more of an attitude towards the two "personal entourage" behind her.

"If there is no continuation, you will be troubled." Zhang Xiu finally said this sentence lightly.

The two "relatives" behind Zhang Xiu are about 20 years old, and they have their own appearances, but their bearings are very different. Although the extremely handsome entourage followed Zhang Xiu, he maintained a cold face. Whether it is for Zhang Xiujun's generals or Zhang Xiu himself, he looks like he is full of anger and remorse.

The other is a burly man with a loyal face. The attitude is much calmer than that of the cold-faced handsome young man, and he talks with other Zhang Xiu generals from time to time. And several of Zhang Xiu's personal generals also value this Zhang Xiu, and the young man who has been with him for more than a month is very close. But for the handsome young man, Hu Che'er, Zhou Cang and other Zhang Xiu's personal generals have been keeping an eye on his every move, as if the handsome young man is not his own person at all.

I forgot to introduce these two Zhang Xiu to accompany him. That Kuiwei young man, surnamed Lu, named Su, Zijing, from Dongcheng. The handsome young man is naturally Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.

When Lu Su was about the same age, he wanted to become a leader, and his friend Lujiang Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang were in contact with Zheng Bao, the leader of the Chaohu thieves, so he first chose to persuade Lu Su to defect to Zheng Bao. However, Lu Su didn't go yet, and Liu Ye killed Zheng Bao himself for some reason.

At this time, Zhou Yu happened to come back from Jiangdong and served as the magistrate of Juchao County. Later, there was a famine in Huainan, and Zhou Yu heard that the Lu family in Dongcheng had a lot of money and grain, so he sent someone to ask for the food of the Lu Su family.

Lu Su is a powerful local warrior from a strong background, and his temperament is bold and generous. I had heard about Zhou Yu's glorious deeds of helping Sun Ce pacify Jiangdong, and when he saw Zhou Yu bringing someone here, he immediately pointed to one of the two granaries of the same size at home and gave it to Zhou Yu for emergency relief.

This was the beginning, and Lu Su and Zhou Yu, who were also talented, became friends from then on. After getting acquainted, Zhou Yu persuaded Lu Su to join him to join Sun Ce, the aspiring Jiangdong overlord. Lu Su thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed, handed over the family to Zhou Yu, and moved the family to Jiangdong, which had been peaceful, under Zhou Yu's arrangement.

It's just that when Zhou Yu was about to agree that Lu Su would go to Jiangdong together, the Huainan Navy Division imposed martial law on the downstream river, making Zhou Yu's plan to cross the river directly to Wu County run aground. On the other hand, Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, who were the Taishou of Lujiang, suddenly sent someone to invite them to Lusu in the name of their friends, and without further ado, Zhou Yu could only leave a letter and cross the river to Danyang to Wu County first.

Needless to say, everything is arranged by Zhang Xiu. For Lu Su, a first-class talent who has helped Soochow make many major strategic decisions and reach many diplomatic alliances in the next few decades, how could Zhang Xiu let it go?

But compared with the simple-minded Lu Su, Zhang Xiu can easily get his full joy. But for Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin, and Zhou Dadu, who seem to be more brilliant in history, Zhang Xiu has gone through hardships and hardships to get it, but he is both loving and worried!

Love, naturally, is the literary talent and martial arts strategy of Zhou Yu, who is in love. Sun Ce's sentence "Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs" has already shown Zhou Yu's brilliant talent. Being able to get the head of the four major governors of Soochow in history is definitely a milestone for the future development of Zhang Xiu Power Group! For Zhang Xiu herself, it is also an opportunity to greatly enhance her self-confidence and strategy.

But at this moment, Zhang Xiu is more worried about Zhou Yu in her heart!

When he defeated Cao Cao in a reversal, Zhang Xiu kept thinking about why he had a fiasco in Qiyang? Is the direction of your own development wrong? And what exactly should be the right direction? I want to compete in the world, compared to Yuan Cao, what is missing?

Fortunately, Zhang Xiu is a persistent and self-conscious person. After a disastrous but not fatal fiasco, Zhang Xiu quickly got the answer she wanted through self-evaluation and self-reflection. Then he hides his attachments, at the right time, in the right place, to show everyone that he does not give up, and clearly reveals his trustworthy and trustworthy perseverance to those who need it.

What is related to Zhou Yu himself here is the future development direction of Zhang Xiu!

That's right, although Cao Cao was hit hard in the end, he also put together his subordinates who were actually cobbled together through such an opportunity. However, Zhang Xiu, who did not think enough of himself, gave up the strategic direction of competing for hegemony in the Central Plains. Of course, I just gave up for the time being, and turned my eyes from the north to the south!

Why did he start a war against Sun Ce, Zhang Xiu actually explained it very clearly in what he said to Quan Rou. The Sun family has produced handsome heroes, and this generation already has two perverted level brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan, if Sun Ce is allowed to gallop to expand the territory, and Sun Quan can recruit talents to stabilize Jiangnan, then any northern force will not talk about crossing the river in the next few decades!

Since he is also aiming at the world, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will not talk about it first, he is not an opponent of the same weight. But Sun Ce, now there is only one one between you and me to live!

Zhang Xiu's strategic direction had already determined that he had to put Sun Ce on the opposite side. Therefore, when dealing with Zhou Yu, who has a deep affection for Sun Ce, Zhang Xiu can only remain silent to him at the moment.
