After the war, Jingzhou under Liu Chan was full of vitality, everyone performed their duties, began to resume production, and there were scenes of chickens and dogs smelling each other in the fields.

But Ma Tan's ship entered the side of Soochow, and it obviously felt that something was wrong.

Spring ploughing was underway, but there were few people in the fields, and he stared wide-eyed and looked closely, and he didn't even see many men,

This made him a little confused for a moment.

But he quickly reacted.

has just fought a big defeat, and in addition to spring ploughing, a large number of people must be conscripted to serve in the conscription in Dongwu-

For example, to defend the county seat and prevent the mountains from attacking;

For example, to make weapons and large ships to prevent friends upstream and enemies from the north.

Now the entire state of Wu has entered the stage of comprehensively tightening war readiness,

It's like squatting up and holding your head and silently saying that you can't see me,

If it is attacked again at this time, it will really be a catastrophe.

Hearing that it was Liu Chan's envoy, everyone in Wu was frightened, and many people gritted their teeth with resentment, eager to devour Ma Tan alive.

Especially Han Dang's son, Han Zong, who was stationed in Wuchang, heard that it was actually Liu Chan's subordinates, and he couldn't help but be furious, and almost took out his knife and rushed up to fight Ma Tan alone.

In the face of Han Dang, who was furious, Ma Jian was not afraid of danger, but smiled indifferently.

"General Sun entrusted General Han with the important town of Wuchang,

Could it be that General Han is to kill his friends and neighbors and do what the relatives and enemies are happy to do? ”

Han Zong was speechless for a while, and could only stare at Ma Jian with an annoyed face, and for a long time, he could only sigh.

Ma Yan sneered in his heart, and secretly said that Wu Ren was really as rude and rude as General Deng Tong said.

Deng Tong is such an elegant and easy-going person, they are all annoyed when they are anxious and scold a few words, this recuperation is really no one, how can it compare to our Jingxiang celebrities.

After all, Ma Tan is the one who has seen Cao Zhang,

In front of the martial artists of Eastern Wu, he still talked and laughed, which made a group of Wu people look at each other one after another, and they didn't dare to be careless, so they hurried to report to Jianye.

Luo Tong, who had been promoted by Sun Quan to the governor of the Wet Beard (Luo Tong had really been the Governor of the Wet Beard in history), heard that Ma Jian had arrived, and hurriedly reported to Sun Quan, saying that this time Ma Jian had come to the Northern Expedition nine times out of ten.

When Sun Quan heard this, his head was big-

He has been paying attention to Liu Chan's Northern Expedition, and saw that Liu Chan's two big dog-legged Yu Tuo and Ding Feng did not move.

Yu turned Ding Feng, who was busy with spring plowing and promoting education in Jiangling, and was a general of Fenwei, was accompanying a group of barbarians to live in the mud.

Liu Chan only recruited Deng Tong, obviously preparing to the point, and did not want to fight a decisive battle with Cao Wei.

At that time, many people in the court predicted that with Liu Chan's bad stomach, nine times out of ten they would come to ask Sun Quan to send troops to echo.

Of course, Sun Quan, who had already declared himself a vassal to Liu Bei, couldn't refuse at once,

He gave Luo Tong an order and asked Luo Tong to come up with a procrastination trick to drag Ma Jian no matter what.

It's best to delay two, six, five, wait for Liu Chan's side to divide the winner and loser, and then play haha and it's over.

When Liu Chan also transferred Ding Feng's army to the front line, this shows that he wants to fight a full-scale war,

When the time comes, Sun Quan will not be too late to act.

Speaking of Yu Tuo and Ding Feng, Sun Quan felt very uncomfortable.

Yu turned over this dog thief, and broke his thoughts in front of him every day, saying that he wanted to think about how powerful and unstoppable our army was when he was mixed with Sun Ce.

Especially after Sun Quan's failure to fight Hefei, he was still reading, and Sun Quan had long wanted to chop Yu and feed it to the dogs.

How could this old bastard be respectful to Liu Adou's son and give him advice.

This made Sun Quan very angry.

Ding Feng......

Not to mention Ding Feng.

He is a pawn under Gan Ning, has no background, and is vulgar and ignorant.

Sun Quan also likes to use this kind of person, he never thought that Liu Chan would actually take the lead, and he also entrusted him with important tasks.

Now as soon as he makes a move, he is General Fenwei - bigger than Zhuge Jin (General Suinan) of the Wu Army, which makes Sun Quan embarrassed.

Luo Tong received Sun Quan's advice, and simply took Ma Tan to the mouth of the Xukou first, so that Ma Jian could see the army of Eastern Wu guarding the mouth.

Before arriving at the mouth of the water, Ma Jian thought that the front line of the battle between the Wu army and the Wei army must be like Guan Yu's army and Liu Chan's Haotian army, all of which were sharp soldiers and strong soldiers.

Those generals guarding the border should be like Deng Tong, who screamed when they heard that they were going to fight, and they were uncomfortable if they didn't fight.

But when he and Luo Tong arrived at the beard, they found that although the important place on the border of Eastern Wu, the beard dock, was well repaired, the soldiers guarding the border had vegetables on all sides, most of them were skinny, and even the military uniforms were not neat.

What's even worse is a group of Shanyue people who have just been recruited.

Their hair was unkempt and dirty, covered in mud, their eyes were hollow, and most of them were unclothed or even unclothed.

Under the leather whip of the Eastern Wu Prison Army, these people tiredly carried wooden sticks to build the camp, and many people sat on the ground, numbly repairing their weapons, and the leather whip fell from time to time, and they were used to it, and they did not even look up to see who the whipping person was.

And those Wu Jun's supervisors obviously didn't bother to find reasons one by one,

They walked around these laborers who were serving in forced labor, whether they were Shanyue people or Wu Di's own people, they would greet them with leather whips (anyway, these could not be the children of the Shi clan), and they beat very rhythmically.

This made Ma Jian very confused.

Ma Tan had seen such a servant, but he had never seen such a servant.

At least the conscription and conscription under the command of the prince is by no means this virtue,

Such good people as Shizi even regarded Wuxi Man and Mei Shiman as the people of the Han Dynasty, and taught them to read and write.

Look at Soochow's side again......

Sure enough, General Deng said that they were rough and brutal, which was not unreasonable.

Luo Tong saw that Ma Yan's face was not good, and he also felt that the Wu army under his command was embarrassed.

He ordered the lieutenant general Yan Gyu to stop these people from whipping the soldiers casually, and announced that he would add a meal to everyone tonight.

Those Wu generals all looked at Luo Tong like monsters, and they didn't understand which tendon was wrong with the coach now.

"It made the young man smile." Luo Tong showed a mouthful of white teeth,

"It is quite difficult to unify the scribes and the commanders, but it is not the original intention of unification."

Ma Jian didn't bother to compare with Luo on this issue.

He said solemnly:

"General, the prince has asked me to send an envoy to Jianye this time, and I believe that the general can also understand the deep meaning.

The two families are originally lips and teeth, and between these lips and teeth, it is inevitable that they will collide with each other, and it is inevitable that the swords will fight. ”

"My family is very filial, and Mrs. Sun is quite respectful, and I am willing to reconcile with General Sun wholeheartedly and fight against Cao Thief.

Now that Cao Cao is dead, and the chaos in the north is a good opportunity for the two families to join forces and break through the Central Plains in one go and help the Han family.

He also asked General Sun to think of his family and country, pay close attention to the reorganization of armaments, and send troops to the Northern Expedition. ”

Ma Yan's words had been repeated several times along the way, and Luo Tong's ears were calloused when he heard it.

He could only smile and bow his head again and again, and said:

"Yes, yes, this time Cao Thief died of illness, it was the time to send troops to the Northern Expedition,

General Sun decided to attack Guangling, echoing the prince, the military situation was critical, I was afraid that he would neglect Youchang, so he was waiting here for a while, and then talked to Youchang. ”

Sun Quan can't suppress these aggressive Jiangdong clans now, and it is absolutely impossible for him to send troops.

Even if Ma Jian said it, it was useless.

He decided to send a small number of troops north along the Zhongshui Road to deal with Liu Chan a little.

When he walked to the swamp north of Zhongdushui (probably the area of modern Baoying), he hurried to retreat, saying that he would not give the Wei army a chance to stop the counterattack.

Of course, he couldn't give Ma Jian a chance to lobby for Jianye.

Otherwise, maybe the four families of Wu County, led by Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, will set off another storm, and maybe they will encourage him to send troops in order to weaken Sun Quan's power, and then they will make trouble in the rear.

Ma Jian said anxiously:

"It is difficult to go north in the middle of the water, and now our army's northern expedition is a great opportunity for your army to go north with all its might-

On the way here, I have thought enough, now your army only needs to send 10,000 troops, you can break through the nest, Chaohu Lake to come and go freely, not in March, maybe even Shouchun has been defeated! ”

"Uh, how?"

"Of course, the navy first broke the nest, and then went ashore out of Chaohu Lake and attacked Cao Wei Town.

Cao Wei was disturbed by my family's family and could not be quiet, the army is in the west, and the Chaohu area must be under-garrisoned, which is a great opportunity to take Yangzhou in one go. ”

Ma Yan's serious appearance made Luo Tong almost laugh out loud with joy.

This horse is young, it should be in the yin and yang weirdness,

Otherwise, his idea of fighting a war would be too taken for granted.

It is not difficult to break through the nest, even if the Wu army is weakened now, Luo Tong can do it by asking himself.

But the problem is that after breaking through Juchao and occupying Chaohu, it is only to return to the territory of Soochow at the time of the Battle of Chibi.

Out of Chaohu Lake, there is a city named Hefei.

Now the Wu army has reached an agreement that Zhang Liao will not die and will never fight Hefei!

Never, never!

The kind that doesn't go even if the knife is on the neck.

Ma Tan counted on saying that it would be a dream to move Luo Tong to fight Hefei in a few words.

Although Luo Tong is three years younger than Ma Tan, his experience is much stronger than Ma Tan.

The more anxious Ma Jian was, the more unhurried he became, and he also chatted with Ma Jian about the traditional friendship between the two countries.

Especially when it comes to Liu Chan, Luo Tong is full of praise, and he also praised Deng Tong as a sincere person, and he is a good friend of Luo Tong.

Ma Jian was anxious when he heard this, and suddenly became angry.

You forced me,

If you force me again, I'll be attacked.
