As Guo Jia analyzed, things are basically consistent with the original trajectory of history. Xu Kun quickly mingled with Guo Jun, Qin Mu and others, mixing together when there was nothing to do, practicing together during the day, and drinking and bragging with them at night. Sun He is more diligent, no matter what happens, as soon as Mrs. Wu tells him, he will do it immediately, and he will do it quickly and well.

Mrs. Wu soon fell in love with this diligent and steady offspring. Sun Ce then selected twenty loyal and honest guards and handed them over to Sun He, who was responsible for taking care of the daily life of Mrs. Wu and her younger siblings. Xu Kun passed the assessment, entered the guard camp, and served as a military marquis under Guo Jun, leading a song of 200 people. The reason why he didn't become a captain is because his martial arts skills are not as good as those veterans who practice every day, and if he is given a period of time, it will not be a problem to be a captain.

After a few more days, Lu Meng came back with a group of rogues, about a hundred and ten people, all of them were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the oldest was no more than twenty. Looking at their angry looks, Sun Ce couldn't help but secretly sigh that the Han people were really tough, and there were old boys everywhere.

Lü Meng brought back a piece of news: Jiang Gan was in trouble, and he was arrested by Zhou Ang, the Taishou of Jiujiang.

Sun Ce was taken aback and hurriedly asked for details.

Lu Meng took a breath and told him what had happened. After arriving at Yingkou, he broke up with Jiang Gan. He contacted the young men in the Liukou on the shore of Shaobi, while Jiang Gan rushed back to Shouchun to recruit those who were willing to join the army, and at the same time spread the news that Sun Ce's army was coming. They had made an appointment to meet at Feikou in the northeast corner of Shaobi. Lu Meng completed the task and rushed to Feikou on schedule, but he didn't see Jiang Gan's shadow, and when he inquired, he learned that Jiujiang Taishou Zhou Ang led the county soldiers to be stationed in Shouchun, and Jiang Gan was arrested by him.

Sun Ce was very anxious, but Guo Jia was not flustered at all. He said that it is spring, and spring is the season of hair growth, and it is not appropriate to kill people. Zhou Ang is a celebrity, they believe in this, otherwise Jiang Gan's head would have been hung at the head of the city. Besides, the Jiang family is also a little powerful in Shouchun, not ordinary people, Zhou Ang will not provoke them easily. Jiang Gan was just recruiting soldiers, not rebelling, which was very common. If it weren't for Sun Ce standing behind Jiang Gan, maybe Zhou Ang wouldn't care.

Recruiting displaced people to serve as soldiers is also to reduce the unstable factors, which is only good for Zhou Ang, not harmful.

If the person who said this was not Guo Jia, Sun Ce would definitely go up with a slap in the face. However, he is from the Guo family, so Sun Ce chooses to believe him.

"Bonghyo, what should we do next?"

"What else can I do, of course, to seek justice." Guo Jia's eyes lit up, not like he was in trouble, but like he was waiting for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "General, don't you want to clean up Zhou Ang, now the opportunity has come."

Guo Jia quickly put forward a plan of one light and one dark, salute first and then soldier: first send an official letter to Zhou Ang in the name of acting as the pastor of Yuzhou and in charge of the southern military, asking him to immediately bring the soldiers of Jiujiang County to escort grain and grass, and if it is not done later, then Sun Ce will go to Jiujiang in person to carry out the military order of Tai Lieutenant Zhu Jun. It's clear. At the same time, Guo Jia selected some of the teenagers brought by Lu Meng and asked them to sneak into Jiujiang County to find out the news, or to lurk and wait. Since they are all from Jiujiang, they must be familiar with the soldiers of Jiujiang County, and it is not difficult to find a few fellow villagers to inquire about the situation. It's dark.

If Zhou Ang knew each other, sent food, and released Jiang Gan, it would naturally be easy to say. If Zhou Ang doesn't know each other, then take the opportunity to kill him and control Jiujiang in his hands. At present, the situation is unclear, Zhu Jun is preparing for war, and Sun Ce needs to stabilize the south, even if he knows about this matter, it is impossible to make a big move. If the imperial edict comes down, Sun Ce should come to Jiujiang to be a taishou instead of being in Yuzhou, waiting for an opportunity to control Yangzhou.

Yangzhou Prefecture is located in Liyang, Jiujiang County, which controls the big river, and is an important place to cross the river and Jinkou, and the soldiers must fight.

Sun Ce understood what Guo Jia meant as soon as he heard it, and asked him to do it immediately. Guo Jia talked to the teenagers brought by Lu Meng one by one, and then picked more than 30 people and asked them to sneak back to Jiujiang County. This kind of thing, Sun Ce can only watch, he has no experience in this area, and he is far less comfortable than Guo Jia, so he simply let Guo Jia do it.

When the war was approaching, Sun Ce asked Sun He to escort his mother and younger siblings back to Pingyu first, and he led the infantry to move to the camp. Since he was saluting first and then soldiering, he couldn't let Zhou Ang seize the handle, so he left Lujiang County, returned to Runan County, and camped at the county border between Jiujiang and Runan.

Xin Bi hurriedly walked into the Taishou Mansion and hastily arched his hand.

"Liufu County, is there any news in the direction of Pingchun?"

Liu Xun was drinking, and when he saw Xin Bi coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him and wiped his hands with a cloth towel. After listening to Simbi's words, he was confused. "No, everything is fine."

Xin Bi was stunned and stared at Liu Xun for a long time without speaking. Everything is normal? How stupid do you have to be to say something like that? News came half a month ago, saying that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were assembled to Pingchun by the commanders of Pingyu and Wanxian respectively, and their troops had far exceeded those of Li Tong and the guards of the three passes.

"No new news?"

"Nope." Liu Xun shook his head again and again, and the fat on his cheeks shook. After staying in Jiangxia for a few months, he quickly became distracted.

"All the time?"

"I haven't had it, not even a bamboo slip." In order to show that what he said was true, Liu Xun also waved his arm vigorously.

Simbi stomped his feet. It's bad, no news is bad news. When the two armies are fighting, whether they are victorious or defeated, the front line will always keep sending back news, or asking for help, or reporting safety, or sending good news, and there is no news.

Seeing that Xin Bi was so anxious, but didn't say anything, Liu Xun was embarrassed and uneasy. Xin Bi is a celebrity and a special envoy of Yuan Shao, if he says a few unpleasant words in front of Yuan Shao, his future will be worried. But he didn't know how to speak, he was in a hurry, Huang Yi walked in quickly, and seeing that Xin Bi was also there, he hesitated, glanced at Liu Xun, and quietly hid the two bamboo slips in his hand into his sleeve.

Simbi looked at him coldly. "Did Li Tong surrender, or did Sanguan lose?"

"Xin Jun misunderstood......"

"If I misunderstood, you know it. If it's good news, what are you hiding for? Xin Bi unceremoniously exposed Huang Yi.

Huang Yi's face was red, and he took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Liu Xun. Liu Xun opened it and looked at it, and his originally ruddy face immediately turned pale. Li Tong surrendered, Sanguan was lost, the most incredible thing was that Sun Ce did not attack the city at all, and the biggest movement was to review the people in Langling, and then withdrew.

"Li Tong, this bastard, actually dares to betray me, I want to kill him!" Liu Xun suddenly became furious, smashed the bamboo slip on the case, and jumped to the ground again.

Hearing Li Tong's name, Xin Bi suddenly remembered something, he picked up the bamboo slips from the soup, quickly read them, and sneered: "This is the result of your belief in these puppets." The three passes are lost, the door of Jiangxia is wide open, Liu Fujun, do you still want to stay in Xiling and wait for death? ”

Liu Xun's face was red, and he hurriedly left the table, rushed to Xin Bi, and bowed down. "Xin Jun, what should I do?"

Simbi slowed his tone. "Ask Yuan Mengzhu for help, Zhu Ling is in Sour Zao, and he can march into Runan at any time. In addition, if the whole army goes north and recaptures Sanguan, I can contact the Runan family for you to fight against Sun Ce. "He looked at Huang Yi." The Huang family is a Jiangxia clan, and at this time you can't watch from the wall. ”

Huang Yi lowered his head, his eyes were confused, and he didn't know what to do.
