Chapter 441 Liu Beijun's dilemma
"No! Son! Everyone bowed their hands to Jin Jue, which was regarded as a salute, Wu You, Wen Zuo, and sat down in turn.
Jin Jue's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he had always been impatient to sit on the floor like the Han Dynasty, so he had already ordered his carpenters to build a set of furniture for later generations for himself.
For example, the tables, chairs, and ******* that are now in Jin Jue's study, you suddenly invited me to wait, but are you ready to send troops in the near future? Wei Yan didn't rush to sit down, he was the first to ask.
Wei Yan and Cheng Lian are both impatient, but, in comparison, Wei Yan is still young after all, and when it comes to fighting, he is even more uncomposed.
Among the people present, not only Wei Yan thought this way, everyone else thought this way.
Jin Jue didn't have time to speak, but he didn't want to, but Lu Bu spoke first and said, "Definitely not." This kid must have something else to do, so he is so anxious to come to you to discuss. You think, this kid is lazy, if he is really ready to send troops, he just needs to find Yan Cai and Xiaozhi and order them aside, and then, he is lazy himself, and he is busy with the two of you. Yan Cai, filial piety, yes or no? ”
As soon as Lu Bu said this, Fu Gan and Fa Zheng suddenly came to their senses, not to mention, Jin Jue is really such a character. It's just that Jin Jue is the lord after all, they don't know, and they don't dare to think about it.
Lu Bu is different, he is a guest, and he has been with Jin Jue for a long time, and he is quite clear about his temperament.
"Hahaha! Or Wen Hou understands my son-in-law! Cheng Lian laughed on the side.
"Ahem!" Jin Jue touched his nose embarrassedly, coughed lightly, and said, "Yes, the matter of sending troops to Chengdu City is not in a hurry first." Here's an even more important thing to do. According to the spies I sent to Jiangdong and Jingzhou, I reported it. Sun Cejun began to mobilize troops at the beginning of the year, and in Yuzhang County, except for the county soldiers left by Hua Xin, all the veterans left by Sun Ce to Zhou Yu have been transferred to the area along the river.
In addition, Wu County and Danyang County have increased troops along the river. Because Sun Cejun's defense was very tight, it was not ascertained that Sun Cejun's general was in charge of these areas. However, one thing is certain, Sun Ce is currently in Moling County, Danyang County.
Liu Biao is really damned, he is really cowardly. In order to prevent Sun Cejun's retaliation, Liu Biao sent a large number of reinforcements to Jiangxia County, but Yuzhang County was obviously weak now, but he just didn't dare to send troops into Yuzhang County first, so as to relieve Sun Cejun's threat to Jiangxia County. Huang Zu is also a waste! ”
After Jin Jue finished speaking, Fa Zheng immediately reacted, and he guessed: "Son, doesn't this mean that Sun Ce plans to unite with Cao Cao and join forces to attack Xuzhou in the near future and work together to eliminate Liu Bei in Xuzhou?" ”
"It's not a plan, I'm afraid that as early as last year, when Sun Ce sent an envoy to make a pilgrimage to Emperor Han Xian, the two of them were already secretly joining forces." Jin Jue shook his head and replied.
"Childe, you say, can Liu Bei stop Sun Ce?" The dynasty, who had never interjected a word by Jin Jue's side, asked in shock when he heard this.
The so-called concern is chaos, and this is the case with the dynasty at this moment.
Judging from the results of the last battle of Xuzhou, it is not as difficult for Liu Beijun to block the attack of Cao's army as it was in the past. But if you add the famous Sun Ce, in the eyes of the dynasty, Xuzhou is very dangerous.
"Don't worry, in a short period of time, there will be no problem with Liu Yuanjun. In fact, Sun Ce's achievements in war were great, but the enemies he encountered in the past were not strong. His ability to command troops to attack may not be stronger than Cao Cao's, and the three counties along the Yangtze River controlled by Liu Yuanjun - Guangling County, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, and the current three Taishou - Chen Deng, Lu Su and Tai Shici are all capable people who can resist Sun Cejun's attack.
Even if Sun Ce or Zhou Yu personally led an army to attack any of these counties, the result would not change. Jin Jue glanced at Wang Chao and replied.
When the dynasty heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, Jin Jue's next words made him nervous again.
"Don't worry too soon. The results will not change, only temporarily. To tell you the truth, according to my judgment, if Cao Jun and Sun Cejun are really ready to send troops to Xuzhou in the near future, once the war drags on for too long, Liu Beijun will definitely be defeated. Jin Jue said very seriously.
"Why is that?" Wang Chao asked, puzzled.
In his mind, since Liu Bei's men were able to block the attack of Sun Ce's army, and with the experience of the last time, it would not become more difficult for Liu Bei's other generals to hold Xuzhou. Jin Jue's words seemed a little inconsistent.
"Childe, don't you mean to refer to Liu Beijun's shortage of military rations?" Fu Gan interjected and asked.
"How so?"
Xuzhou Daxing Tuntian, even if it suffered the double impact of Cao Cao's second Xuzhou Battle and locust plague last year, Donghai County and Xiapi still encountered Dashu.
In that case, why did Fu Gan judge it this way?
"Hehehe, you have forgotten that last year, the Huainan region was not only hit by locust plagues, but also by a severe drought. Liu Bei wants to be a virtuous king, and if he wants to continue to maintain his good reputation as a benevolent and virtuous gentleman, he must take on the heavy responsibility of rescuing the people of Huainan while collecting the territory. As far as I know, even Guangling County, where the powerful Chen Deng is located, has received a lot of food aid from Liu Bei because of the shortage of food.
If we had followed the strategy of restricting food supply that I had adopted in Luoyang County, Xuzhou would not have been short of food. It's a pity that Liu Bei can neither bear it nor have the ability to execute it. Besides, the Chen family is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, with so much land and many years of savings, is it really impossible to get the grain for emergency rescue in Guangling County? If this battle lasts for a long time, with Liu Beijun's current grain stockpile, he will not be able to hold out for too long.
Hehehe, these sons of the family, when they are in a hurry, they always think of only the interests of their own family! This time, Chen Deng lived up to Liu Bei's trust in him. In the end, Jin Jue couldn't help but sneer three times and said angrily.
According to spies in Guangling County, last winter, Guangling County also suffered from locust plagues and severe drought. Before, the Chen family laughed at Liu Bei's whimsical spending a lot of money to buy chickens, ducks and geese in the neighborhood, but when the locust plague really hit Guangling County in May, the Chen family, including Chen Qi and Chen Deng, were dumbfounded.
Liu Bei's advance measures successfully resisted the impact of the locust plague, and the grain of Donghai County and Xiapi Kingdom was greatly ripe.
