Hearing Zhang Hong ask about the battle of Xiangyang, Sun Jian frowned and said: "Yuan Shu's soldiers are full of food, and there is Lu Bu, the world's number one general, but Liu Biao is not weak, Xiangyang City is a strong city in the world, and now Huang Zu, Liu Pan and others have supported Xiangyang, I don't think there will be a few months that will not tell the winner." As for who won in the end, what does it matter to us at that time? As long as we are fast enough, it is impossible for Yuan Shu and Liu Biao to react, and even if the battle for Xiangyang ends, the winning side will definitely suffer a lot of losses, I don't believe that they will still be enemies of my Jiangdong at that time. ”

Looking at Sun Jian, Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao's faces remained unchanged, but they were both relieved in their hearts. After their observation during this time, Sun Jian is not only a martial artist, but also a good candidate for the lord.

Zhang Hong said at this time: "In this case, what are you waiting for?" Now Yuan Shu and Liu Biao are fighting fiercely in Xiangyang, Jiangxia is empty, it is our great opportunity, if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future, as long as we take Jiangxia, we can use Jiangxia as a springboard, or send troops to the four counties of Jingnan, or send troops to Nanyang and Nanyang, the initiative is in our hands. ”

Hearing Zhang Hong's words, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and other generals all showed excitement, while most of the children of the family such as Wei Teng and Yu Fu were not very good-looking.

Sun Jian's complexion changes in the faces of the civil and military forces under his command changed in his eyes, and then he sneered. In order to sweep Jiangdong as soon as possible, Sun Jian chose to subdue these Jiangdong families and made a certain amount of appeasement, but this move made the current Sun Jian act under the constraints of these Jiangdong families.

Although on the surface, these Jiangdong families didn't dare to do anything, but secretly they kept making small moves, which made Sun Jian very annoyed, if it weren't for the fact that Sun Jian still needed these Jiangdong families to govern Jiangdong for himself, Sun Jian would have raised the butcher's knife a long time ago.

Although Sun Jian acts with both rigidity and softness, he is still a military general in his bones, he doesn't like intrigue, and he doesn't like to talk around the corner, but now Sun Jian's identity is different, he is no longer a pure general, but the lord of Jiangdong, and he can no longer act in the style of a general.

Sun Jian said: "Okay, pass on my order, raise 30,000 troops, and this time I will take Jiangxia." ”

"No!"

Sun Jian ordered, and all the generals got up and saluted, with some excitement on their faces. None of the generals were afraid of war, and even most of the generals were eager for war, because only on the battlefield could they prove their worth.

On the Wenchen side, although Wei Teng, Yu Fu and others were all against Sun Jian's use of troops, Sun Jian had already made a decision, and they could not continue to obstruct it.

When everyone dispersed, Wei Teng was a few steps behind, walking side by side with Zhang Hong, and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Zigang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Hong looked puzzled, looked at Wei Teng, and said, "Wei Zhoulin, I don't understand what you say, what do you mean by me?" The lord asked me about it, and I answered. ”

Wei Teng showed displeasure on his face and said: "Zhang Hong, you know that the lord has just taken the land of Jiangdong, and this should be the time to recuperate and accumulate strength, why do you still suggest that the lord send troops to Jiangxia, do you know that once the army is sent to Jiangxia, the pace of the lord will not stop, and when the time comes, there will be war for many years, and I don't know how many soldiers have died tragically." ”

Zhang Hong looked at Wei Teng with a cold face, and said: "I know all this, and I know even more that once the lord can take Jiangxia, then he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when Yuan Shu and Liu Biao divide the victory, the lord can send troops in one fell swoop and take Jingzhou." When the time comes, the two states of Jingzhou and Yangzhou will be gathered, and they will be able to look at the world, and in the end, no matter how bad they are, they will be able to stand across the river. Wei Teng, I see that you have been in Jiangdong for a long time, and your vision is gone. ”

Wei Teng looked embarrassed and said, "But what if you can't take Jiangxia?" ”

Zhang Hong glanced at Wei Teng and continued: "This time is the best opportunity, I don't know if I can win it, but I know that if I don't do it this time, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future." Wei Teng, I advise you, don't keep your eyes on the one-third of an acre of land in your Wei family, the world is very big, not just one Jiangdong. ”

When he said this, Zhang Hong walked away, leaving only one Wei Teng so angry that his face was purple and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

Zhang Hong stepped forward quickly, caught up with Zhang Zhao, and walked with him. Zhang Zhao turned his gaze at Zhang Hong and Wei Teng behind him at this time, and then said, "What, Wei Teng is looking for you." ”

Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao are both from Xuzhou, they are friends, and they joined Sun Jian's disciples together, and they have a very good relationship with each other. Hearing Zhang Zhao's question, Zhang Hong said: "A short-sighted guy who only thinks about the interests of his Wei family, and completely ignores the existence of the lord. ”

Zhang Zhao also chuckled at this time: "The Jiangdong family is also this kind of goods, among the four families of Lu, Gu, Wei, and Yu, I think that Gu Yong is okay, there is a bit of a big picture, and it is difficult for others to use it." ”

Zhang Hong said: "As long as the lord can take Jiangxia this time, there is no need to look at the eyes of the Jiangdong family, and we will be much more comfortable than now." ”

After listening to Zhang Zhao's words, Zhang Hong did not express any opinions.

To be honest, this place in Jiangdong is really a bit weird, as long as anyone stays in Jiangdong for a long time, their vision will be limited, and they will all stare at their own one-third of an acre. And not only Jiangdong locals, but also outsiders who have come to Jiangdong for a few years will also be affected by the perspective of looking at problems.

The current Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong have not been in Jiangdong for a long time, so they have not been affected much. However, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong in history came to Jiangdong for several years before they entered Sun Quan's command, and Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's eyes at that time were also focused on the land of Jiangdong, and they had no ambition to seize the world at all. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Zhao and others became the main peace faction after Cao Cao raised troops to seize Jingzhou. Don't look at the world, in the face of Cao Cao, who was in full swing at that time, how could these people afford to resist.

Perhaps because the geographical environment of Jiangdong is relatively special, there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River, so that people living in Jiangdong feel that there is no problem in safety, so their minds are relaxed, they lose their enterprising spirit, and it is difficult to compete with many heroes in the world.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun and Wu were all stuck to a corner of Jiangdong, and rarely led a large army to fight Jiangdong.
