122. Sun Ce is self-reliant
While Han Fei was busy making paper, Sun Ce, who was far away in Shouchun City, finally decided to exchange the jade seal for 3,000 men and horses to go to Wu County to meet his uncle Wu Jing. Then it was necessary to conscript Wang Lang and Yan Baihu.
When Sun Ce entered Jiangdong to establish a territorial power and began to conquer Yan Hu and Huiji Taishou Wang Lang, Wu Jing suggested to Sun Ce at the military meeting that it was advisable to crusade against Yan Baihu's army first, but Sun Ce thought that Yan Baihu's army was just a group of ordinary bandits, and decided to give priority to Wang Lang's army.
At this time, Sun Ce's friend Zhou Yu came to join him, and Sun Ce trusted Zhou Yu very much. As soon as Zhou Yu came together, he was appointed as a military advisor by Sun Ce. However, Zhou Yu did not advocate his strategy of attacking Wang Lang first, Zhou Yu believed that the outside must first be at ease, and Yan Baihu was entrenched around Wu County, which had seriously affected the security of the rear of the army.
So he persuaded Sun Ce to destroy Yan Baihu first and then go to crusade against Wang Lang. Yan Baihu has a fierce general named Yan Yu, who wants to fight with Sun Ce before the battle with his own bravery, but Sun Ce is persuaded by his subordinates to insist on fighting! Cutting Yan Yu in front of the formation, Yan Baihu saw that even Yan Yu was not Sun Ce's opponent, and he was timid at the moment!
Subsequently, Sun Ce took the opportunity to lead the army to cover up the killing, and then won a complete victory. Yan Baihu fled in a hurry with only a dozen horsemen. After that, he defected to Yuhang and went to Xu Zhao.
After Sun Ce defeated Yan Baihu, he finally had his own territory. Next, he began to prepare for the crusade against Huiji Taishou Wang Lang! After defeating Yan Baihu, Sun Ce's military strength grew rapidly, and now he has 10,000 people under his command. This crusade against Wang Lang was to seize territory, and the other was to train soldiers.
Sun Ce, who swept through Jiangdong, led his troops to attack Huiji, and Wang Lang's Gong Cao Yu suggested avoiding its sharpness. But Wang Lang did not accept it, insisted on guarding the city to the end, led the troops to fight, and was finally defeated by Sun Ce. Wang Lang and Yu Pan were both captured alive by Sun Cesheng. However, Wang Lang was a celebrity, so Sun Ce did not embarrass him, but restricted his freedom, only allowed him to move in the city of Huiji, and did not allow him to go out of the city.
After Wang Lang's defeat, there was no force nearby that could confront Sun Ce, and Sun Ce began to make a move against Xu Zhao. Xu Zhao was originally an auditor. The son of Xu Sheng and the father of Xu Shao. He was known as the demon thief of Huiji, raised troops from the sentence chapter, called himself "the general", set up his father as the king of Yue, broke through the city, and counted tens of thousands. Since he took in the defeated Yan Baihu, his momentum has become even greater, which also gives Sun Ce an excuse to take action against him.
However, just when Sun Ce was about to make a move, he received a letter from Yuan Shu! It turned out that since Yuan Shu got the jade seal, he had the ambition to become the emperor. However, he also knew that with his current strength, there was no problem in being a prince, but it was a little worse to be an emperor.
So he began to contact many people he admired, hoping that these people would come to him. The first thing he thought of was Sun Ce, to be honest, Yuan Shu admired Sun Ce very much, and even moved the idea of recruiting him as a son-in-law. It was only later that Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal for 3,000 men and horses, and left Shouchun with his troops, that his idea was dismissed.
Sun Ce received Yuan Shu's letter and immediately consulted with Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu read Yuan Shu's letter, and his face instantly became very ugly, if he didn't agree at this time, he would definitely be retaliated against by Yuan Shu! With the soldiers and horses in Sun Ce's hands now, they must not be Yuan Shu's opponents!
But he couldn't agree to Yuan Shu, because if Yuan Shu wanted to be the emperor, it would be absolutely impossible to succeed! Zhou Yu pondered for a while and said, "Why don't you call it sick!" ”
Sun Ce thought for a while, nodded and said, "Just follow the words of the virtuous brother!" It seems that this plan to attack Xu Zhao is going to be postponed! ”
"That's fine, during this time, the soldiers of the Lianban campaign are all tired, so take this opportunity to take a break. But there's one more thing you need to nod to! ”
"What's the matter? Didn't I tell you, Gongjin, it's good for you to get an idea for some small things! Sun Ce said.
"It's not a small matter. Bo Fu I want to establish a naval army, now where our army is located, there are many rivers and lakes, if our army can't control the waterway, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch further south! Zhou Yu said solemnly.
"This ...... There are not many people in our army now, and if we set aside a part of it to be a naval army, wouldn't there be even fewer soldiers who can be used? Sun Ce said worriedly.
"I've thought about it, but it's imperative to build a navy. We can first build a fleet that can transport troops and food on the water, and then gradually expand the number of people. ”
"Okay, just according to Brother Xian's opinion! I'll leave this to you! Zhou Yu nodded after listening, and then the two discussed some other things. In the next day, the news broke that Sun Ce fell from his horse and was seriously injured! So Yuan Shu's solicitation letters naturally failed.
Because of Han Fei, Jia Xujia sent people to Sun Ce's side to collect news. When he got the news of Sun Ce's fall from his horse, he suddenly felt incredible. In terms of Sun Ce's martial arts, how could there be such a thing as falling from a horse? Therefore, he felt that something was wrong and told Han Fei about it.
Han Fei's papermaking plan has been going very well recently, and the rice paper has been successfully tested by him, but the output has not been able to go up! Today he came as usual to inspect the paper-making yard, and it was at this time that Jia Xu came!
Han Fei knew that if there was nothing important, Jia Xu would not easily come to him. "Wenhe, what is the important thing you came to me?" The two sat in the room, and Han Fei looked at Jia Xu and asked with a smile.
"Zicong, take a look for yourself?" Jia Xu said and handed over Sun Ce's information. Han Fei took it and looked at it, he didn't feel a frown, what the hell is this Sun Ce falling off the horse? Was he assassinated? It shouldn't be! Isn't Xu Zhao still dead? It's not an assassination, is it another trouble?
Thinking of this, Han Fei's eyes lit up, and then he said, "Wenhe, you should pay more attention to Yuan Shu's movements!" If my prediction is right, then Yuan Shu will be the emperor! ”
"What? Zicong, what you said is true? Jia Xu said incredulously.
"Yes, Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal for military power, and the jade seal must be in Yuan Shu's hands at this time! If I'm right, it's only a matter of time before Yuan Shu becomes emperor! ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Such a big thing, wait for me to report to the lord first!" Zicong, come with me! ”
Han Fei shook his head and said, "Wen and you go by yourself, I still have to make paper!" ”
Jia Xu shook his head, turned around and walked out the door, he wanted to tell Liu Bei the news that Yuan Shu wanted to be the emperor! Han Fei watched Jia Xu walk away, and said to himself: "Yuan Shu really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he can't do it himself, and he dares to be the emperor in vain!" However, this Yangzhou is a treasure land, and the lord must be persuaded to take it! ”
