Without enough troops, Zhang Xiu could only continue to be beaten passively in Nanyang.

This time, the development of the situation was unfortunately said by Zhang Xiu himself.

No matter how smart Jia Xu is, Zhang Xiu has to have the corresponding strength to really give him the space and opportunity to exert his talents.

Looking at the information about the Central Plains in his hand, Jin Jue frowned.

Sun Ce took the initiative to offer emperor to the Han Dynasty and actually showed favor to Cao Cao, Jin Jue was not surprised.

No matter how unbearable Emperor Han Xian is, even if it is a corporal in the world, everyone knows that now this little emperor has long been reduced to a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao, but as long as Cao Cao does not usurp power and seize the throne for a day, and he is still respected as the emperor on the surface, then the tiger skin of the Son of Heaven on Emperor Han Xian symbolizes righteousness, which no one can deny.

In history, Cao Cao did a lot of things that the old-timer Wang Mang did, but the only thing that did not finish the last thing Wang Mang did - the Zen position.

However, because of this, the original history also recorded that Sun Ce really had a plan, taking advantage of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he was ready to send troops to attack Xu and rob Emperor Xian of Han.

It's a pity that because of the assassination, coupled with Sun Ce's own youth, it is said that it was because of the injury on the face, so he was angry to death at a young age.

Of course, this is just a saying, and the real situation is only known best to the people around Sun Ce.

If Sun Ce hadn't died, the territory and development of the Three Kingdoms would definitely have undergone drastic changes, and with Sun Ce's current domineering and ability, he might not have allowed Cao Cao to occupy so many territories in the north.

However, from various signs and Sun Cejun's movements, Jin Jue noticed extraordinary changes.

First of all, Yuzhang County, which was controlled by Zhou Yu.

Previously, when Sun Ce left, he left some troops for Zhou Yu in case Jiangxia Huangzu sent troops to attack Yuzhang County. In March of the third year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao sent troops to Nanyang County, this part of the troops in Yuzhang County suddenly secretly crossed the river and entered Lujiang County under the leadership of Sun Ce's general Cheng Pu.

Secondly, it was Zu Lang who succeeded Tai Shici in Sun Cejun's position in the original history.

Liu Biao's subordinate Liu Pan was brave, and at Liu Biao's instructions, he sent troops several times to Ai and Xi'an counties controlled by Sun Ce. So, Sun Ce divided Haiyu and Jianchang into six counties, appointed Zu Lang as the governor of Jianchang, governed Haichang, and supervised the generals to reject Pan.

Zu Lang, whether it is his own martial arts or his ability to lead troops, is far inferior to Tai Shi Ci, but a person who can lead his troops to fight with Sun Ce repeatedly, win and lose each other, and even, several times actually fall into Sun Ce's dangerous situation, how can he be an ordinary person.

After Zu Lang took office, Liu Pan's troops became extinct in the area controlled by Sun Cejun, and they were never coward again.

In the end, Danyang County and Wu County also mobilized a large number of troops at the same time and deployed them along the Yangtze River. Perhaps because he didn't want to alert Liu Beijun too early, at present, the troops of these two counties have not crossed the river.

At present, unlike the control of several counties in the southern part of Lujiang County near the Yangtze River, in Jiujiang County, Sun Cejun only occupies the nearest county to the Yangtze River, and has been closely monitored by Liu Beijun. Therefore, before launching an attack, even Sun Ce did not dare to send troops across the river too early, so that Liu Beijun could take precautions in advance.

This is also the third time that Jin Jue has only crossed over, and he has felt great pressure.

The first time was when Jin Jue persuaded Lu Bu, that time, he was just a child with a transparent history and a completely unknown name, and it was really difficult to convince Lu Bu that the fat was already in his mouth and had Xuzhou at his fingertips.

Fortunately, Jin Jue succeeded.

The second time, it was Jin Jue who took the false holy decree and seal letter but persuaded Ma Teng to lend him troops to attack the city of Caohan.

Ma Teng is also capricious and moody. He was able to fight and fight with his brother Han Sui for the sake of profit, which shows his character.

Fortunately, this time, Jin Jue succeeded again.

Of course, the reason why he was able to succeed this time was that Jin Jue's own intelligence played a great role, but half of this was due to Bao Zhu. If it weren't for his strong martial arts, he would have killed all the soldiers defending the city of Caohan almost single-handedly.

After that, Jin Jue will not be so simple, and he will be able to capture Caohan City in one fell swoop with stragglers.

And this time is different.

Sun Cejun's movements have no impact on the current Jin Juejun at all.

However, there is a great threat to Jin Jue's future strategy.

Xuzhou Liu Bei is a target erected by Jin Jue in the Central Plains, the more strong Liu Bei behaves, the more uncomfortable Jin Jue's enemy, but also the prince Cao Cao, who is the greatest threat to Jin Jue, will be more and more uncomfortable, and he will unify the Central Plains, and the pace of eliminating Yuan Shao will become more difficult and slow.

However, what alerted Jin Jue was that all kinds of intelligence showed that Sun Ce was actually prepared to join forces with Cao Cao and send troops to deal with Liu Bei.

Judging from the process, even if Sun Ce's move can get a lot of benefits, at least, if Liu Beijun is really eliminated by the two of them, at least the entire Yangzhou, Xuzhou Guangling County and Runan County will belong to Sun Cejun.

However, judging from the results, it was more favorable to Cao Cao.

First of all, how long will Sun Ce live, will he be assassinated first, shot in the face, and then die young, as in history?

Because of Jin Jue's relationship, many people have been directly or indirectly changed by him.

Now if God tells Jin Jue that Sun Ce can't die, and Sun Quan wants to take over, I'm afraid he will have to wait for twenty or thirty years, or there is no possibility for a lifetime, and he is not surprised at all.

Secondly, no matter how much benefit Sun Ce can get in the next war, the barrier of the Yangtze River is still quite unfavorable to Sun Ce's army ruling the Huainan region.

The Yangtze River in this era was not the Song Dynasty, and many sections of the Yangtze River were occupied by silt fields. Even if Sun Cejun has the convenience of boats, on land, Cao's army also has the advantage of war horses, not to mention, Cao's army occupies the north, it has a population advantage, and, in comparison, the generals under Cao Cao are better at field warfare and siege warfare.

Once Liu Bei can't hold Xuzhou, the hatred of the Xuzhou family and the people for Cao Cao will immediately dissipate, and the people of Xuzhou will be more afraid of Cao Cao than Sun Ce.

At this moment, all the information in Jin Jue's hands was collected by the secret agents he sent to the various princes in the Central Plains.

In this regard, Jin Jue has a unique advantage that is incomparable with other forces.

The Yellow Turban Army under Jin Jue, among the fourteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are people from Kyushu. Therefore, no matter how tightly Sima Yi and Chen Gong defended, they were unable to find the secret agents of Jin Jue's army in Bingzhou and Hedong County.

However, in this regard, Sima Yi has relevant awareness, and he himself is well aware of Jin Jue's advantages in this regard.

After pondering for a long time, Jin Jue clenched his fist suddenly, waved it in the air, and with a 'snap', the hand waving in the air slapped on the table, and finally, he made up his mind, shouted outside the door, and said: "Dynasty, you go and recruit Fu Junshi, French Junshi, and General Wei together, be quick." He sent someone to transfer Mu He and Shi Miao to the new capital. By the way, there is also General Cheng. ”

Jin Jue didn't want to be called Cheng Lian, but he knew that if he didn't call him this guy when he was going to have a military meeting, he would definitely have an opinion.

"No!" Wang Dynasty agreed, and quickly arranged for the new guards around Jin Jue to go to the mansion of these people and inform them.

Because the winter of the second year of Jian'an was colder than before, and the snow melted slowly, therefore, throughout March, Jin Jue's army had been nested in the new capital and did not go out.

If it weren't for this, Jin Jue would have already led his troops to the outside of Chengdu and began to implement the siege plan.

Within a quarter of an hour, the people mentioned by Jin Jue, except for Mu He and Shi Miao, who were temporarily serving as county commanders in other counties in Guanghan County, quickly walked into Jin Jue's study.

"Sit, everybody, sit!" Jin Jue hurriedly waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

An unexpected person also walked in, it was Lu Bu.

Lu Bu himself wants to come, no one can stop him, thinking about it, just now, Lu Bu must have been learning martial arts with Cheng Lian and Wei Yan.
