As long as Jiangdong will stabilize the counties and counties obtained in Jingzhou, when the Cao army and Lu Bu compete in the future, Jiangdong's opportunity will come, as for what will happen to Lu Bu after he becomes strong, Jiangdong Army will naturally not be afraid, and before that, the most important thing is to improve their strength.

No one wants to be defeated when the troubled times officially kicked off, why Yuan Shao lost on the battlefield in Jizhou and was broken by Lu Bu is because Yuan Shao's strength is not as good as Lu Buye.

Thinking about the beginning, Yuan Shao's strength was so strong, but in the process of competing with Lu Bu, it gradually declined, and this incident also made the Jiangdong Army more vigilant, and it can be seen from the Jingzhou incident that there is no solid alliance in the world at all, and some are just deceitful and deceitful, and they will do whatever it takes for the sake of interests.

Sun Ce's actions made Jiangdong's courtiers shake their heads secretly, Sun Ce's means of fighting with his subordinates and leading troops are undoubted, Jiangdong has become more and more powerful over the years, but what Sun Ce has never changed is advocating fighting on the battlefield, as the body of King Wu's gold, he should not dance with knives and guns on the battlefield, but every time Sun Ce will use Lu Bu as a reason to shirk.

Seeing this seven-foot-tall war horse with a dark body, Sun Ce hurriedly stepped forward and galloped away, and the officials later only saw a black shadow rushing in front of them.

Fortunately, Sun Ce's palace was located in the inner city, which did not cause much panic.

"Sure enough, it's a good horse." Sun Ce turned over and dismounted, laughing.

"Wu Hou is good at riding." Li Su praised.

When Sun Ce heard this, his face showed a smug expression.

Zhang Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Lord, it's not early today." ”

Sun Ce said: "For the envoy of the king of Jin to settle a residence in the inner city, do not slack off, tonight the king will set up a banquet in the palace for the envoy to catch the wind." Getting such a divine horse, Sun Ce's interest was high.

"Thank you, King Wu." Li Su bowed his hand and saluted, his expression showed a look of satisfaction, after the envoy of Jiangdong arrived in Chang'an, there was no such treatment, as for the reception banquet, it was all under the responsibility of the officials under his rule, how could he attach so much importance to it as Jiangdong.

This situation made Yu Fu and Qin Song, who had been envoys to Jiangdong, extremely dissatisfied, what kind of treatment they were in Chang'an, but now after the envoy of the King of Jin arrived in Jiangdong, he was so valued.

That night, the palace was extremely lively, even if there were many dissatisfaction with Li Su among the courtiers of Jiangdong, they would not say it on such occasions, but just make it difficult in words, and Li Su's words about the courtiers of Jiangdong seemed to have been expected for a long time, and he was polite and polite, which left a good impression on Sun Ce.

When an envoy goes to other princes, if he can show enough talent, he can also be valued, of course, this has a lot to do with the strength of the princes behind him.

When Li Su left Jiangdong, Sun Ce ordered Zhang Zhao to send it, and the conditions offered by Chang'an this time also made Sun Ce tempted, and two thousand excellent war horses, if they could be equipped in the army, could play a great role.

Now not only the Jiangdong Army, the strength of the rest of the princes is also improving rapidly, this time the princes of the three parties spent a lot of money to buy a thousand Mo knives from Chang'an, if the Mo Dao Army can play a huge role on the battlefield, it can affect the direction of a war.

Not only the Modao Army, but also the Cao Army and the Jiangdong Army also attach great importance to the heavy cavalry, especially the Jiangdong Army, after passing through the battlefield in Jingzhou, he has seen the power of the heavy cavalry, under the charge of the heavy cavalry, few foot soldiers can stop it, even if the Modao Army is facing the heavy cavalry, it is also to be overshadowed, which is also the reason why the Jiangdong Army wants to develop the heavy cavalry.

The war horses purchased from Chang'an before, although they were excellent, still did not meet the standards of heavy cavalry, but he learned the news from Xizuo that the war horses used by the wolf cavalry were all carefully selected from these war horses, and then the generals of each department were selected, and it was the turn of the merchants to choose, and the war horses that were often excellent in the eyes of the merchants were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the generals in the Chang'an army.

The war horse promised by Lu Bu is the most sophisticated war horse, although there are only two thousand, if it can be equipped with cavalry, it will be a big help on the battlefield in the future, and the development of cavalry by the Jiangdong Army has become the trend of the times, and now on the river, the Jingzhou Army has lost its original role, and when facing the Jiangdong Naval Army, it does not have any combat effectiveness, and the development of the army on the ground can allow the Jiangdong Army to obtain more benefits on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

"Lord, Li Su is extraordinary." Zhou Yu said in a low voice, from Li Su's way of speaking and doing things, it can be seen that in general, when facing the Jiangdong ministers, he talks and laughs freely, without the slightest fear, just these bearings are not something that ordinary officials can have.

Sun Ce said: "This person is the right-hand man of the King of Jin, the person who originally followed the King of Jin, and he served as the pastor of Youzhou before, how can it be so simple." ”

Zhou Yu said: "If the lord starts a war with the Cao army at such a time, it will be extremely unfavorable, if the lord waits and waits and the Cao army sends an envoy to come, the lord will form an alliance with him." ”

Sun Ce nodded and said: "Cao Cao will not be so stupid, although the current King of Jin does not have the intention of attacking Yanzhou, but if the King of Jin is angered at this time, the consequences are not something that Cao Cao can imagine, does Gong Jin think that Xuzhou is really so calm on the surface, after the war starts, the most chaotic is probably Xuzhou, and Xuzhou is of great significance to the Cao army, and the loss of Xuzhou means that the Cao army has lost an important source of grain and grass." ”

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, he was even more in awe of Lu Bu's methods, he was able to arrange chess pieces in Xuzhou for such a long time, and Cao Cao did not find a handle, he was sure that there must be something involved between Xuzhou Zang Ba and Lu Bu.

"Gong Jin should be careful of his own safety, you are the right-hand man of this king, if you are injured, how can this king lead the Jiangdong army to victory." Sun Ce said: "The assassins who went to Yizhou to assassinate Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang must have come from Chang'an. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Presumably Liu Bei also saw this, but he has no evidence, so he can only admit that he is unlucky, and Lu Bu will not care whether Liu Bei is angry or not." ”

"Gong Jin, how is the assassin that this king asked you to train?" Sun Ce said.

It's not just Liu Bei who began to attach importance to the power of the assassins, after the assassination incident in Yizhou, the princes attached great importance to the training of the assassins, at this time they realized the necessity of the existence of an assassin team, there is nothing above board and insidious and vicious on the battlefield, as long as it can weaken the strength of the other party, it is the best means, Lu Bu obviously achieved the ultimate in this regard, when the princes attacked Huguan, they did not suffer at the hands of these assassins.
