Chapter 61: Changes in the World, Danger in the Lujiang River
"Lord, news came from Chang'an, Dong Zhuo is dead!"
It took less than two months for the death of Dong Zhuo to reach Sun Ce's ears, and at the same time, most of the princes in the world also learned the news, Dong Zhuo died, and the world was in an uproar.
"yes, damn it!"
According to the time, Dong Zhuo is indeed dead.
"Now the court is controlled by Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others, but Guan Wang Yun is indeed loyal to the little emperor, maybe the emperor can really control the court in the future, and the world doesn't know what will become at that time."
Zhang Zhao said worriedly.
"Is Zibu worried that we will become a rebel and become the three people in the world?"
Sun Ce asked with a smile.
"My subordinates are really worried!"
Zhang Zhao hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully.
"Don't worry, this chaos is not over yet, the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops outside Chang'an will not stop there, and the little men and horses in Chang'an can't compete with the army outside the city."
Sun Ce said confidently.
"Does the lord mean that Wang Yun and Lu Bu are not the opponents of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Niu Fu and others?"
Zhang Zhao was a little skeptical.
"Lu Bu naturally won't lose to a few of them, but the court is different, there are so many officials and generals in the court, and it's complicated, Lu Bu can't control the trend of the battle."
Sun Ce looked contemptuous.
"Does the lord mean that the officials and generals in the imperial court overstepped their authority and snatched Lu Bu's military power?"
Zhang Zhao clearly knew the sinister nature of those court officials, in troubled times, there was everything in the hands of the soldiers, and these officials would inevitably fight for it.
"Lu Bu is not Dong Zhuo, not to mention that he is restrained by a woman, and he can't do that kind of domineering."
If Lu Bu can fully control the military power of Chang'an, Sun Ce believes that Li Dao and Guo Yan can't take Chang'an, but Lu Bu can't control the military power of Chang'an.
"The woman the lord said is not Wang Yun's righteous daughter Diao Chan?"
Zhang Zhao asked curiously.
"That's right!"
Sun Ce nodded.
"I heard that Wang Yun gave Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo, why would a broken flower and a defeated willow restrain a hero like Lu Bu."
Zhang Zhao looked skeptical.
"Because Diao Chan is not an ordinary woman, otherwise how would she be fascinated by Dong Zhuo, and how would she be fascinated by Lu Bu desperately killing Dong Zhuo."
Sun Ce said calmly.
"Beauty Trick!"
Zhang Zhao suddenly realized.
"So before the matter of Chang'an is decided, Zibu doesn't need to worry."
Sun Ce laughed.
"My subordinates understand!"
As Sun Ce said, due to the influence of the court officials, Lü Bu was unable to control the entire force.
Xu Rong and Hu Zhen fought a big battle with Li Dao and Guo Yan under the command of Wang Yun, and finally lost a lot, Xu Rong died in battle, Hu Zhen surrendered again, and Chang'an lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
All of a sudden, Chang'an was left with only 50,000 of Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, and more than 10,000 men and horses temporarily formed by the government soldiers.
And Li Dao, Guo Yan, Niu Fu and others mastered more than 300,000 troops, and there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides.
Chang'an is in danger, and people in Chang'an City are panicking again, it has only been three months since Dong Zhuo was killed and controlled Chang'an, but Chang'an has fallen into a crisis again.
Situ Wang Yun bore the brunt of it, if it weren't for Lu Bu suppressing him, I'm afraid Wang Yun would have stepped down from Situ's position.
Finally, a month later, hundreds of thousands of troops from Xiliang surrounded Chang'an City, forcing Wang Yun to commit suicide and forcing Lü Bu to surrender.
In half a year, Chang'an once again fell under the control of the Western Liang Army, and Emperor Han Xian and the court officials once again became the people in the hands of the Western Liang Army.
When this incident came out, those princes who were as suspicious as Sun Ce were overjoyed in their hearts, and at the same time, it also intensified the progress of the chaos in the world.
Although Yuan Shu lost Nanyang, he also succeeded in taking Yuzhou, with 100,000 male soldiers under his command.
Yuan Shao subdued Zhang Yang and others, took the state and conquered the land of the two states, with more than 150,000 soldiers with armor, Wen Youtian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Guo Tu and others, Wu Youyang Ye, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Ge, Gao Ran and others.
After Youzhou Gongsun Zan drove out Liu Yu, he strengthened his troops and integrated the soldiers and horses, and now there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Yanzhou now only Shanyang County has not fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, but this is already a matter of time, now Cao Cao is also a strong army, generals have Xiong Kuohai, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Xiahou brothers, Cao family brothers, Le Jin, Yu Ban and others, Wenchen strategists have Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others.
Qingzhou Liu Bei collected a large number of yellow turbans with the help of Kou Zhun, except for Donglai and Beihai, the rest were in the hands of Liu Bei, with nearly 100,000 troops under his command, but Liu Bei also had a lot of problems.
After Jingzhou Liu Biao recaptured Nanyang, he fell into peace again, but he accepted Tai Shici, Gan Ning and other fierce generals, and today's forces are becoming more and more clear.
……
"Lord, there is news from Lujiang that Yuan Shu seems to be planning to attack Lujiang."
On this day, Sun Ce got the news about Yuan Shu again.
"Lujiang is our goal, if Yuan Shu is allowed to go, our plan to go north will be damaged, and Lujiang must not let Yuan Shu take it first."
Sun Ce had already thought of Yuan Shu's idea of fighting Lujiang, but when he really heard it, Sun Ce was still a little difficult to accept.
"The last general is willing to take the Lujiang River for the lord!"
Wu Yunzhao took the initiative to ask.
"Lord, the last general is also willing to go!"
Xue Rengui then spoke.
"There is no hurry to start the war, but the preparations must be made, a certain want 30,000 soldiers and horses in the spring valley, and at the same time the naval division is assembled, when the war begins, the army will be transported to the north bank as quickly as possible."
Sun Ce said in a deep voice.
"The lord is wise!"
Everyone spoke.
"Lu Jiang Taishou Lu Kang is a great sage, and he is also Lu An's grandfather, and I hope that the opponent in this battle is Yuan Shu, not Lu Kang Taishou."
Sun Ce spoke again.
"My lord, the last general is willing to go to Lujiang to persuade my grandfather to take refuge in my lord."
Lu Wenlong hurriedly spoke, he was naturally unwilling to fight with Lu Kang.
"That's great!"
Sun Ce nodded, in addition to Lu Wenlong, Sun Ce also planned to go to Lu Xuan and other Lu family members.
"Ding Dong!" The current situation of the host was detected, and the task "Capture Lujiang County" was issued.
Task Reward 1: Capture Lujiang County and subdue Lu Kang, and reward the host with a chance to summon a quasi-first-class fierce general.
Task reward 2, capture Lujiang County, and reward the host with a second-rate fierce general summoning opportunity.
As always, the quest was triggered.
……
Early the next morning, Sun Ce went to Lu Mansion to visit Lu Xu, accompanied by Lu Wenlong, Zhou Tai and Zhang Zhao.
Because it is related to Lu Kang's net worth and life, Lu Wei is extremely cooperative, and Sun Ce's actions in the four counties of Jiangdong are also highly valued by Lu Xun, so this time Lu Xun did not embarrass Sun Ce.
Three days later, Lu Wenlong left Wu County with the letters of Lu Xuan and Sun Ce and went straight to Lujiang County.
