After the cavalry phalanx left, Pang Tong took the generals to the stage of the generals, and bowed: "Back to the lord, the officers and men of all armies have completed the inspection of the school, and I ask the lord to instruct!! ”
Yuan Yao smiled from ear to ear and replied, "Okay! All armies can be called elite, and the generals can help them, which is really like a tiger with wings, so why worry about big things!! ”
When all the generals heard this, they were overjoyed, and they all bowed down and bowed: "The lord has tormented me, and it is also a blessing for us to be able to follow the lord!" ”
Zhang Yan laughed a few times again, let everyone get up, and then said: "Hahahaha, okay, let's get up, this review of the army, the officers and soldiers of all armies are well-trained and have high morale, and the general is very relieved, today I will reward the three armies, let the soldiers eat and drink to their heart's content, and when the army pacifies Jiangdong and triumphs, I will drink with all the soldiers again!" ”
When the generals heard this, they bowed one after another: "On behalf of the soldiers, we have thanked the Lord for the reward, and I am willing to die for the Lord and the Lord!! ”
Yuan Yao's order to reward the three armies was quickly conveyed by the heralds, and after hearing Zhang Yan's military order, all the soldiers and horses in the school field also bowed in unison:
"We have thanked the Lord for his reward, and I am willing to die for the Lord!!"
"We have thanked the Lord for his reward, and I am willing to die for the Lord!!"
"We have thanked the Lord for his reward, and I am willing to die for the Lord!!"

After Yuan Yao pacified the soldiers, he ordered: "You all go down to settle the soldiers, drink and feast in the Mu's Mansion tonight, and discuss the affairs of Jiangdong!" ”
The generals bowed one after another: "No, we will receive the order!! ”

After the waiter informed Yuan Yao that everyone had arrived, Yuan Yao said goodbye to Guanyin and Shangguan Wan'er and came to the front hall.
Yuan Yao sat in the first place and said jokingly: "All the kings are exempt, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, you have worked hard during this time, so start the banquet, and wait until the banquet is over, and then discuss the attack on Jiangdong." ”
"No, I've thanked my lord!"
Everyone bowed down again, and then returned to their respective positions to sit down, Pang Tong picked up the wine glass on the table, and said: "This first cup of wine, we should respect the lord, may the lord prosper in martial arts, and will be able to sweep Jiangdong in a battle!! ”

……
Yuan Yao saw that everyone was almost at the end of the feast, so he ordered the waiter to remove the wine and food and replace them with refreshments, and said, "General Mao, you can first talk about the information on Jiangdong and tell everyone." ”
"No, the last general will take the order!"
The information on the Jiangdong side has long been kept in mind by Mao Xiang, Mao Xiang agreed, glanced at everyone, and said:
"On March 21, the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce went out of the camp to hunt, but unfortunately encountered an assassin's ambush and died of cautious arrows!"
"After Sun Ce's death, the Dantu generals discussed the matter after Sun Ce's death, and Huang Gai proposed that Sun Quan be in charge of the Dantu's 50,000 Jiangdong army, and Tai Shici and other generals did not obey, and the battle for the heirs in Jiangdong began from then on."
"On March 22, after receiving the news of Sun Ce's death, Zhang Zhao, an important minister in Jiangdong, led a hundred horsemen to the Dantu camp to deal with Sun Ce's funeral, but unexpectedly encountered an assassin ambush in the Xishan area, Zhang Zhao was killed by several arrows, Sun Quan, Zhang Hong and others suspected that this move was done by Tai Shici and others."
"On March 23, Zhang Hong, an important minister of Jiangdong, and Xu Kun, the guard general of Wu County, led soldiers and horses to escort Jiangdong Wenwu and the Sun clan to Dantu."
"On the night of March 23, Zhou Yu, the number one general in Jiangdong, received the news of Sun Ce's death in the Wuhu camp, and led hundreds of iron horsemen to the Dantu camp to mourn, and the 50,000 sailors in the Wuhu camp were temporarily in charge of the Jiangdong general Lu Meng; Zhou Yu was also assassinated when he was on his way to Dantu and passed through Danyang City, and Zhou Yu had already prepared to escape. ”
"On March 25, Jiangdong generals Tai Shici, Dong Xi, Xu Yi and other generals led 3,000 iron cavalry generals Da Qiao and Sun Shao's mother and son to welcome into the army to take them to the Dantu camp. When Da Qiao and Sun Shao arrived at the Dantu camp in their cars, Cheng Pu and the others would only greet them at the gate, and the battle for the heirs in Jiangdong intensified into a battle of life and death. ”
"On March 26, Yuan Shaoqin led the Hebei army south to Liyang, and his general Yan Liang led an army of 100,000 to besiege Baima City.
"On March 26, Zhang Hong and other Jiangdong civil and military and Sun clansmen entered the Dantu camp, and Mrs. Sun proposed that Sun Quan inherit Wu Hou's position, Da Qiao and Tai Shici and others refused to obey, Sun Quan's generals and Tai Shici and others were already prepared, and the two sides stopped under the confrontation;"
After this incident, the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Dantu camp were also divided into three camps: Tai Shici, Dong Xi, Xiang Rou, Xu Yi and others will support Sun Shao to inherit the position of Wu Hou, with about 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, of which about half are iron cavalry; Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Xu Sheng, Chen Wu and others will support Sun Quan to inherit Wu Hou's throne, with about 30,000 soldiers and horses, including about 5,000 iron cavalry; The Overseer Zhonglang led Xu Kun to lead an army of 3,000 to protect the Sun clan to maintain neutrality, and the current garrison is in Dantu City, and Mrs. Sun also remains in the city. ”
On March 27, Cao Cao gathered a large army to meet the battle, and after learning of Sun Ce's death, Cao Cao went to Jiangdong with his confidant Cheng Yu as an envoy, suspected of wanting to regulate the forces of all parties in Jiangdong, and set the position of Wu Hou as soon as possible to avoid internal chaos in Jiangdong. On the same day, Liu Biao of Jingzhou also sent a team of envoys to Jiangdong, led by an Iraqi who had come to Anhui County to congratulate the lord on his wedding. ”
"On March 27, Zhou Yu rushed to the camp of Dantu, after Zhou Yu arrived, he invited the important ministers of Jiangdong to discuss major matters, and finally the two sides broke up unhappily, Zhou Yu entered the camp of Tai Shici and other generals, and should have the intention of supporting Sun Shao to inherit the position of Wu Hou."
"In addition, the guards in Jiangdong are also panicked, Wucheng guard general Sun Wei mobilized nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses with the intention of attacking Huiji County to the south, and Haiyang County ordered Li Shu to support thousands of troops also has the intention of going south to capture Nanchang."
"The envoys from Jingzhou and Xudu will also arrive in Jiangdong in a few days."
Mao Xiang said this, and arched his hand: "My lord, everyone, that's all for the situation of Jiangdong and the surrounding princes, I, Jinyiwei, am only responsible for collecting information, how to do it, and ask the lord and the monarchs to decide!! ”
Yuan Yao nodded and responded: "Well, you Jinyiwei has worked hard for a while, and after this battle is over, I will definitely reward you for your merits!" ”
Everyone also gave their hands and praised:
"As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles, Jinyiwei probed all kinds of intelligence, and collected all kinds of intelligence so completely, which is really a great achievement!!"
"To be able to know ourselves and the other to such a point, we will definitely be able to break through when we send troops, and with such a sharp weapon in hand, why worry about the injustice of Jiangdong!!"
"The lord's move to form a brocade guard is really a far-sighted plan, and the ministers obey !!."
"Hahahaha, you guys have praised it, okay, don't say it again."
Yuan Yao waved his hand to stop everyone, and then said: "If I want to achieve great things in the three counties of Lujiang, I must first annex the land of Jiangdong!! ”
