Chapter 57 General Talent
Yuan Shao sighed and said: "Cao Apu has been friends with me since he was a child, how could he have thought that he would become an opponent when he was young, and don't blame me for not missing the old love...... If he is willing to surrender to me then, let him be spared. ”
Xiliang, Ma Teng held the holy decree in his hand, and the generals stood in the camp without saying a word. Sun Jian's reward was not an important official position, but after weighing the pros and cons, Ma Teng still chose to accept the order.
In this campaign, even if Sun Jian's power expands, it will not hurt them either, and the headaches should be Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu.
After all, Sun Jian is in Jingzhou, and they are far away in Liangzhou, if Sun Jian wants to conquer Liangzhou, then he must defeat Lu Bu first.
For Ma Teng, Lu Bu's threat at the moment is much greater than Sun Jian's.
What Ma Teng wants to do is to reclaim his lost ground.
Since teaming up with Sun Jian can achieve the goal, why not?
"Chao'er, hand over this letter to the envoy, and present some halva from the Western Regions to Your Majesty."
"It's the father, and the son-in-law will do it."
On the Chang'an Palace.
Jia Xu squinted his eyes slightly and took the watch from the messenger's hand.
The envoy sent by Yuan Shu saluted Jia Xu and said: "Your Majesty of my family said that if General Lu agrees to this alliance, he will be crowned the king of Qi, and after the great enemy is swept away, he can share the world with the king of Qi." ”
Jia Xu looked at the watch and nodded, and said, "I already know the wish of His Majesty Zhongguo, now please go to the post house to rest." ”
Jia Xu tidied up his clothes and got up to go to Lu Bu's mansion to meet him.
In order to win over Lu Bu, Yuan Shu chose to canonize Lu Bu as the king of Qi, and the temptation to worship the king is not small compared to anyone.
If it is the king of Qi who is given the title by the emperor of the Han Dynasty today, it must be the king who is grateful and grabs the land with his head, but the pseudo-emperor canonizes the king......
What's more, in terms of military strength and territory, Yuan Shu is far inferior to Lu Bu......
Lu Bu sat on Sili, and Yanzhou Xuchang and Chenliu were two important cities. In recent years, after recruiting the Yellow Turban Army in these areas, the number of soldiers and horses in hand can reach 250,000!
Yuan Shu is only one place in Yuzhou, and the heavy city of Lujiang in Yuzhou is still in the hands of Sun Jian. Yuan Shu only has two major cities, Runan and Shouchun, and there are only 150,000 soldiers and horses.
is such a strength to dare to be the emperor, Jia Xu really wants to laugh at this so-called fourth world and three dukes, he is really a big fool in the world.
But Jia Xu will not simply reject Yuan Shu, after all, the situation of the two forces is exactly the same.
Now the undercurrents of the princes of all parties are surging, all under the banner of killing the puppet emperor, but in fact, they are all looking at their own piece of fat.
The land of Yuzhou, where Yuan Shu is located, has been surrounded by Sun Jian and Liu Bei, and there are only two important cities, and it is difficult for the rest of the princes to get a piece of the pie.
What Jia Xu has to think about now is whether to watch the fire from the other side, or to form an alliance with Yuan Shu.
If you form an alliance with Yuan Shu, you can help yourself resist Sun Jian and Liu Bei, and with this help, you can safely meet Cao Cao and Ma Teng.
But Jia Xu can't calculate how long Yuan Shu can resist these two! Sun Jian had the earth-shattering feat of killing Dong Zhuofeng to welcome the Son of Heaven in the past, and the next year he pacified Yan Baihu of Wu County.
Jia Xu never thought that Yuan Shu could win, after all, Yuan Shu was so stupid, if he could win Sun Jian, it would be a real joke.
"I still have to discuss with Chen Gongtai." Jia Xu got into his carriage and said, "Go to Shangshu Mansion." ”
Xiangyang, the prime minister's mansion, Sun Jian looked at the letters from all over the place, Jin Xuan, Han Xuan, Zhao Fan, and Liu Du responded to Yuan Shu, sent 80,000 troops, and traveled east from Dongting Lake to attack Jiangxia by red cliffs.
Yuan Shu sent 100,000 troops to attack Lujiang. Lu Bu sent 20,000 troops from Xiangcheng and approached Wancheng through Lushan!
A total of 200,000 troops!
In the past, Dong Zhuo alone had an army of 200,000, and Sun Jian was not afraid of leading only 20,000 troops, but now Sun Jian also has an army of 200,000, and there are countless generals and advisors under him, so there is no need to be afraid!
"You already know about this military report," Sun Jian sorted out his uniform, "Now that I, Sun Jian, have established the Han Emperor to call the world not a subordinate, those princes who are watching from the wall are not convinced by the Han Emperor, but they still have to support the Han Emperor in name." ”
"This battle is the key to laying the foundation of the world, and if I win, the princes will fear and continue to support the Han Emperor. If Yuan Shu wins, it will prove that the current Han family is really exhausted, and I don't know how many people among the princes will be called emperors and how many people will be kings? ”
"In order to restore peace in the world, we must win this battle, so who of you can retreat from Yuanshu!"
"The minister is a native of Lujiang, and he is most familiar with the topography of Lujiang, so please yourself!" Zhou Yu walked out of the queue and saluted Sun Jian and said.
"Huangkou son, the prime minister's generals have countless such major military affairs, how can you allow a junior to interfere?" A burly, slightly older general walked out angrily, "The last general, Cheng Pu, asked for 50,000 troops and went to Lujiang to retreat from Yuan Shu." ”
Zhou Yu saluted Cheng Pu with a flat face, but did not stand back in line, but just stood in place.
Jiang Wen stood beside Sun Jian, looking at Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu below with a flat face, Zhou Yu's qi was amazing, and he would never take this anger to heart.
The crusade against Yuan Shu is a first-class achievement.
Although Zhou Yu is a military general, in fact, Sun Jian gave Zhou Yu such an official position because of Sun Ce's relationship.
After all, with Jiang Wen's previous experience, Sun Jian attaches great importance to these talents.
Naturally, this kind of official position that relies on connections does not have the slightest real power in his hands.
The real power in the army is still in the hands of Sun Jian and the old generals.
If Zhou Yu's crusade against Yuan Shu is successful, he will occupy the first class of merit. If they are deprived of their military power because of the reward, this is something that the old generals don't want to see.
The second is everyone's worry, can Zhou Yu win Yuan Shu?
Lu Su saluted Sun Jian, and then said to Cheng Pu: "General, since ancient times, people can't look good, this time the battle is Yan Baihu, if there is no General Zhou, our army will not win easily, there should indeed be a fierce general who charges into battle, but there can be no shortage of soldiers, General Zhou is the prime minister's military division, but General Cheng Pu thinks that he is a yellow-mouthed son, is he questioning the success of the prime minister?!" ”
Cheng Pu glared and was about to return the favor angrily.
A teenager walked out first.
"Go to the army to fight," Sun Quan said disdainfully, "Has the lieutenant led the troops, do you know the military aircraft in front of the battle?" After learning a few words of military strategy, can you give instructions at will? ”
"Poof, hahaha!"
"Who's laughing?" Sun Jian said with a cold face.
Gan Ning laughed and walked out of the queue, saluted Sun Jian, and said: "Prime Minister, forgive the minister bluntly that the prince has never led troops, but here he is talking about the military plane in front of the formation, isn't this just talking on paper?!" ”
"Gan Ning! The son is the king, you are the minister, how can you insult the king with the minister! ”
…………
The two sides quickly quarreled, and they almost pulled their beards and pulled their ears.
"Shut up!" Sun Jian shouted angrily, "Now that we are talking about national affairs, how can you wait for nonsense, and if there is any nonsense, behead!" ”
The ministers glared at each other, their faces were red, and they saluted Sun Jian, "The ministers know their mistakes!" ”
He saw the battles between these old generals and Sun Ce and his subordinates.
The cause was a recital from the Governor of Tuntian.
Sun Jian also had to convince these soldiers under his command, the thousands of acres of fertile land in Jiangxia were all occupied by these generals, and the people had no land to cultivate.
Sun Jian chose to remain silent, this is a good time to drive a wedge between Sun Ce and these old generals.
Sun Jian wants to cultivate Sun Quan, his son's resourcefulness, he can naturally see it, plus Sun Quan's face is even more extraordinary, and Sun Ce is only suitable to be a general!
