Bang!

Sun Ce slammed his fist on the desk, stood up straight, held the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his handsome face was full of anger: "Chen Yu traitor! I will kill them! ”

In the past three years, Sun Ce, with the support of Zhang Liao, coupled with his own decisiveness and bravery, has developed an unstoppable momentum, first defeating Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, and Xu Gong, the Taishou of Wu County, and then occupying Danyang, going south to Huiji, capturing Wang Lang, and occupying Huiji County, and most of the land in Jiangdong was controlled by him.

After Yuan Shu became emperor, Sun Ce broke with Yuan Shu, drove out Yuan Yin, the Taishou of Danyang appointed by Yuan Shu, and subdued Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin, basically controlled the four counties of Jiangdong, and offered to the imperial court.

Zhang Liao made Sun Ce a rebellious general and pacified Jiangdong.

However, the imperial court would not allow Sun Ce to completely control Jiangdong, and appointed Chen Yu, the former Yangzhou Mu who was driven out by Yuan Shu, as the Taishou of Wu County to balance Sun Ce.

Chen Yu was born in the Chen family, the secretary of the world, his father Chen Qiu was the third prince of Jiuqing, famous, to Chen Yu's generation is not bad at all, in addition to him, the younger brother Chen Cong is Ruyin Taishou, from the younger brother Chen Qi Ren Peixiang, cousin is Chen Deng, Ren Guangling Taishou, can be described as a full door of 2,000 stones.

After Zhang Liao implemented the imperial examination in Luoyang, Sun Ce also promoted it in Jiangdong, Chen Yu was one of the strongest opponents, he gathered a large number of Kwantung families to vigorously oppose the imperial examination, and he was disgusted with Sun Ce, who was not of high background and suppressed the family by force to control Jiangdong.

This time, Sun Ce received Zhang Liao's order, while dividing his troops to continue to attack Zulang, who was in turmoil with Yuan Shu's drums, he personally led the elite to prepare to cross the river to attack the Lujiang River and contain Liu Xun.

I didn't want Chen Yu to send Du Wei Wanyan and others, so he made more than 30 official seals and sent them to Zou Lun, Qian Tong, Wang Sheng, Yan Baihu, Jiao Ji and other Shanyue and sect thief forces, preparing to copy Sun Ce's back road and ruin Zhang Liao's crusade against Yuan Shu's war.

At this time, Jiangdong has not been developed on a large scale after the two Jin Dynasty periods, it belongs to the wilderness, full of mountains, thorns and wilderness, the transportation is inconvenient, the imperial court soldiers and horses are difficult to reach, and the people of Shanyue are fierce, and there are bandits, thieves and rogues everywhere.

Among the thieves, especially Yan Baihu of Wu County and Zulang of Danyang have the greatest power, Zulang controls the thieves and commanders of Danyang, Xuancheng, Jing, Lingyang, Shi'an, Yi, She and other counties, Yan Baihu controls the large and small forces of Wu County, each with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Sun Ce in the process of conquering Jiangdong, repeatedly conquered, but Jiangdong is mountainous, the terrain is complex, and the thieves hide in the mountains after losing the battle, and it is difficult to completely exterminate.

In normal times, these thieves Sun Ce can be killed in waves, but at this time, it is the key time for Sun Ce to contain Liu Xun and help Zhang Liao crusade against Yuan Shu.

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Ce was angry, and said with a straight face: "General, Wu County is in turmoil, the rear is uneasy, and it may be difficult to send troops to Lujiang, so you can send a letter to inform the general." ”

Sun Ce said loudly: "I serve the imperial court, and I am favored by the general, this time I have to order Yuan Shu to fight together, how can I delay the military plane?" ”

On the side, Sun Quan hurriedly said: "Brother, the thieves in Jiangdong are in turmoil, and we will lead our troops to the west, not only can we not help the general, but we will fall into the danger of being caught in the front and back. ”

Everyone at the bottom persuaded Sun Ce, especially some generals who had followed Sun Ce and Zhang Liao in Yishui, all thought that it was not appropriate to assist Zhang Liao to fight Yuan Shu, only Song Chao frowned, and was about to speak, Sun Ce's eyes swept over everyone, and said loudly: "Jiangdong thieves, don't be afraid, Yuan Shu is the emperor, Fang is a big rebellion, my will has been decided, after leaving two thousand soldiers and horses, the rest will follow me to the west, not seeking to break Shouchun, but let Liu Xun not go further north!" ”

……

Dusk, Xuzhou, the junction of Xiapi and Peiguo, Lu Bu was also hindered, the once heroic Lu Bu sat in the big tent, poured wine and drank himself, frowned, just as he was about to send troops to Yuzhou Peiguo to contain Ji Ling, the rear counties of Xuzhou were in turmoil.

Lu Bu knew very well in his heart that these families were making trouble.

Xuzhou's family is very strong, the counties and townships are full of all kinds of children of the family as officials, and the fort is countless, among which Tancheng is the former state pastor, the family is the most powerful, after Tao Qian's death, Liu Bei served as the state pastor in Tancheng for a period of time, when he arrived at Lu Bu, he married the local tyrant Cao Bao while directly moving the governance office to Xiapi, and finally controlled some counties, but most of the counties in Xuzhou Lu Bu still can't control it, he is an outsider who is unable to compete with the local family, although brave and invincible, But he didn't dare to fight with the family, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep Xuzhou Mu.

In the past few years, Lu Bu can be said to have really experienced the world, he had fought against the Xiongnu Xianbei in Bingzhou, stayed under Ding Yuan, stayed under Dong Zhuo, and briefly took charge of the court with Wang Yun, and then rushed, was rejected by Yuan Shu, was calculated by Yuan Shao, and stayed by Zhang Liao's side, but those were short-lived, only the longest period of serving as Xuzhou Mu, and the impact and blow to the fierce generals on this battlefield were also the greatest.

Originally, the family looked down on him, a military general from the state, after Zhang Liao implemented the imperial examination, the family resisted greatly, so that Lu Bu really experienced the dilemma of the tiger trapped in the plain, let him know that even if he was brave, it was only on the battlefield, and when he arrived in the state and county, he was powerless to control the place, unable to fight against the ubiquitous family forces, compared to his ambition in the past, now he has many vicissitudes.

Chen Gong, the advisor he relied on the most, also had secret dealings with those family forces, making Lu Bu dare not trust.

This time, Lu Bu assisted Zhang Liao in his crusade against Yuan Shu, but he was already met with great resistance, and at this time, there was direct chaos in the rear, Lu Bu was not stupid, and naturally understood what was going on.

Should I go in or should I go back?

Lu Bu was not inferior to Sun Ce, but he lacked Sun Ce's decisiveness, until the middle of the night, he was still hesitating, not wanting to suddenly hear a noise outside, and was about to send someone to ask, someone hurriedly came to report: "Hao Meng is in turmoil, and he is leading the rebels to attack Picheng!" ”

Lu Bu is now at the junction of Xiapi and Peiguo, and there are still nearly 100 miles away from Xiapi City.

Hearing that his subordinates were in turmoil, Lu Bu's complexion changed greatly, he woke up drunk, and immediately got up and shouted: "Order, return to Picheng overnight, and kill Hao Meng!" ”

What Lu Bu didn't know was that in his rear, Cao Bao, his trusted father-in-law, was conspiring with a person: "I once heard Feng Xian mention that he accidentally recognized the person who controlled the boats on the river, Zhang Liao's younger brother Zhang Jian, and wanted to prevent Zhang Liao from controlling Jianghuai, so he could start from this......"2.
