The battle on the Lingling side was suspended, and the Chibi side was lively again. As the main battlefield of the Han and Sun-Liu coalition forces, both sides invested a considerable number of soldiers and horses. Although the Han side had the advantage in numbers, due to the successive victories of the Sun-Liu coalition army, the Han lost troops and lost generals, and each had supporters for the victory or defeat of this war, and there was no one-sided situation.

In order to win, both Sun Quan and Liu Bei took out their coffin books, and almost all the elites under their command were concentrated in Chibi, and in the face of the strict battle of the Sun and Liu coalition forces, Liu Xie did not dare to take it lightly, not only dispatched the elite to deal with it, but also strictly ordered the shipyard to step up the construction of warships to make up for the losses in the previous battle.

Although Liu Xie has already begun to train the imperial navy, to this day, the imperial court's naval army still cannot occupy a complete upper hand over the Jiangdong naval army, and the victory or defeat is also between five and five. The Jiangdong Navy now has the full help of Liu Beijun, and the imperial court also has new warships to increase its combat power, and the victory or defeat is still hateful to maintain between five and five.

There are many factors that determine the outcome of a battle, not only the number of soldiers and horses on both sides, the quality of the soldiers, or the quality of the weapons. The time, the place, and the people, such as today are on Liu Xie's side, but the location is occupied by the Sun-Liu coalition army, and the only thing that can still be fought for is people.

Compared with Sun Liu, the hearts of the people on Liu Xie's side are probably more united, although there are black sheep like Chen Qun who are ready to move, but the factional competition within Sun Liu is obviously more complicated than Liu Xie's. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, Sun and Liu are both princes of one side, and their respective subordinates come from all over the world, and the more this person, the more thoughts will follow.

Liu Xie has the golden sign of Han orthodoxy as the backing, and he can let his subordinates take care of the overall situation in the name of righteousness, and temporarily give up personal interests and losses. Although they both declared that they obeyed the dispatch of the imperial court, Liu Xie announced to the world that he and the two of them were rebellious, and the fig leaf that they themselves did not believe in was torn off.

Without the approval of the imperial court, the good way to appease people's hearts will not work, except that the barbarians don't care, the old ministers and newcomers who have followed Sun Liu for a long time are a little shaken. worked hard and worked hard, but turned around but mixed with a rebellious identity, and anyone will feel uncomfortable.

In the face of Liu Xie's move, Sun Liu had almost no countermeasures to resolve it. No way, Liu Xie is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, the youngest son of the first emperor, whether it is from the perspective of blood or morality, the orthodoxy of the Han family is on Liu Xie's side. What's more, at the moment, Han is strong and Sun Liu is weak, Liu Xie, who is holding a male soldier, doesn't need to swallow his anger at all, and Sun Liu has no other way but to swallow this bitter fruit.

If they want to get out of the unfavorable situation in front of them, the only way for Sun and Liu is to win. The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, only by becoming the victor can you speak hard and get what you want. But it's not easy to win, today's Han is no longer Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, now he is strong and strong, and the heroes bow down, and only Sun Liu is still resisting.

Since Dong Zhuo's chaotic government and the princes began to fight against Dong, it has been nearly 20 years since the world was divided, and now it is finally going to be reunified, and the Battle of Chibi has become the focus of the world. Whether it is when today's son completes reunification or Sun Liu continues to divide one side, this answer affects the hearts of countless people.

The people prayed for peace, because only by being stable could they live and work in peace, but some people in the family did not want peace in the world. The concept of putting the family before the country makes these people not want the world to be reunified, especially Liu Xie, the son of heaven who is not very friendly to the family, to complete this major event.

The dissatisfaction with Liu Xie led to the inner support of this part of the family Sun Liu can make Liu Xie suffer a big loss, and it is best to die directly in Chibi, so that they can take the opportunity to support the young master to expand the power of their family. It's just that Liu Xie could hang up so easily.

Just got rid of Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie did need to take risks in order to recruit talents, but as the situation stabilized and the imperial court was on the right track, Liu Xie made a lot of hard work for his personal safety. In addition to cultivating and collecting intelligence from all over the world, the Tianyan formed by Jia Xu and Li Ru also has a task of protecting the safety of the royal family. Compared with Liu Bei and Sun Quan's means of personal protection, the people around Liu Xie who are responsible for protection are more formal and professional.

Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, and to guard against assassination, it is not necessary to wait for the assassin to appear before making a quick response, but to have someone secretly deal with it before the assassin appears. Liu Xie said that it would not be difficult for him to get rid of Sun Quan and Liu Bei through assassination, but this was not actually bragging, but he did have the confidence to do it.

While Sun Liu's subordinates were still struggling with how to ensure the safety of the lord, the killers on Liu Xie's side had formed a set of effective and systematic procedures, with clear standards for layout, action, evacuation, and other steps. The quality of the assassins on both sides is not on the same level at all! It's not that Sun Liu hasn't sent assassins, but those assassins have never returned, and as many times as possible, Sun Liu is afraid and doesn't dare to try it easily.

Liu Xie didn't want the style of assassins to prevail, once everything was solved by assassination, then the people in the world would be panicked, and there would be no need to do anything. But whoever is in a high position, who does not have a few enemies, only a thousand days to catch thieves, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.

Keeping this bottom line is not only for Sun Quan and Liu Bei, but also to ensure that more people can do things with peace of mind and don't have to worry about the day.

Sun Quan and Liu Bei also realized Liu Xie's bottom line after sending people to assassinate him many times without success, and he no longer dared to think about overcoming the current crisis by assassination, and began to bury his head wholeheartedly in pre-war preparations.

The current situation is very unfavorable to Sun Liu, not only the pressure brought by the Han army on the other side of the river, but the most important thing is the constraints behind him. Originally, Liu Bei watched the excitement, and there were not many influential families under his rule, as long as he spoke, most people would listen. Sun Quan is different, the old family in Jiangdong, the emerging forces that followed the Sun family into Jiangdong, these are the two sources of the most headache for Sun Quan. The old family is deeply rooted, and Sun Quan can't do without their support if he wants to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong. What about being domineering like Sun Ce? Back then, it was not necessary to compromise with the Koto family in order to secure the position of the lord of Koto. In order not to become a puppet in the hands of the Jiangdong family, Sun Quan vigorously supported the Huaisi gang led by Lu Meng to counter the Jiangdong family.

The Jiangdong family is the main one, and the Huaisi Gang is the main battle. It is not that the two factions have to fight against each other, but that their respective interests are different. The head of the Jiangdong family is peaceful, that is because these families are the head snakes of Jiangdong, no matter who becomes the lord of Jiangdong, they must compromise with them in order to sit in a secure position, so that the less battles are fought, the smaller the loss of the Jiangdong family. The Huaisi Gang is different, the only way for them to gain benefits is to make meritorious contributions, as outsiders, only by continuous meritorious service can they expand their power and influence.

Before Zhang Zhao was promoted by the Jiangdong family as the leader of the main and peace faction, but the years were unforgiving, Zhang Zhao was sick and died. And Sun Quan secretly supported the Huaisi Gang led by Lu Meng, and the Jiangdong family had to temporarily forbear. But as the drums of war approached, especially the southward movement of the imperial army, the Jiangdong family could no longer sit still.

Looking at the posture of the imperial court, that is, to prepare for a war to complete the unification of the world, and the will of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, also made the Jiangdong family unable to meet the source as before. followed Sun Quan to resist the court to the end, and finally gave Sun Quan a funeral, which was an ending that the Jiangdong family was unwilling to face. But at present, Sun Quan is determined to fight the court to the end, and if the Jiangdong family wants to save itself, they can only rely on themselves.

But how easy is it to save yourself? Compared with Sun Ce in the past, Sun Quan today is even more feared. Although Sun Ce is not very friendly to the Jiangdong family, he is always in the open, if he doesn't like you, he doesn't like you, and he is easy to deal with. But Sun Quan is different, this guy likes to play yin, and he is polite in person, but what is going on behind the scenes is unpredictable. It's easy for people like this to be scared.

The Jiangdong family did not dare to openly oppose Sun Quan, at least until the results of the Battle of Chibi came out, they did not dare to oppose Sun Quan. But not going against Sun Quan does not mean that the Jiangdong family will obediently wait for the results of the Battle of Chibi. The small actions behind the scenes are very frequent, and most of them send people to secretly contact the imperial court, dredge up the relationship first, and lay the groundwork in advance for the future anyway.

Sun Quan's headache is this matter, for the monitoring of the Jiangdong family, Sun Quan has always been in the first place, he has a lot of doubts, this may be a common problem of people who have done bad things. For the position of the lord of Jiangdong, he secretly calculated his brother Sun Ce, and after he succeeded, he was also worried that he would be secretly calculated.

In this matter, even Lu Ji, who had befriended Sun Quan before he made a fortune, was not spared. The first order Zhou Yi received when he was ordered to establish Jiangdong's intelligence organization was to closely monitor Lu Ji's every move. Fortunately, Lu Ji, or the court had the foresight to cut off contact with Lu Ji early, which allowed Lu Ji to avoid a catastrophe. And Lu Ji also saw through Sun Quan's personality because of this, and resigned from the official position granted by Sun Quan under the pretext of recuperation, and "recuperated" at home with peace of mind.

Sun Quan was very satisfied with Lu Ji's knowledge of current affairs, not only allowed Lu Ji to take leave, but also sent a large number of good medicine and condolences so that Lu Ji could concentrate on recuperation. Lu Ji withdrew in time, allowing Lu Ji to avoid Sun Quan's internal investigation several times, but the relative Lu Ji's officialdom in Jiangdong became obscure, and he was gradually overtaken by Lu Meng and Ding Feng, and became a name among many people.

Now that the war is imminent, Sun Quan and Liu Bei know that it is not easy to win against Liu Xie head-on, and in order to win, they must use some means. Although the navy under his command is strong, the number of sailors under Liu Xie's command is superior, especially the number of warships, which is several times that of Jiangdong. Don't look at the Jiangdong Navy destroyed a batch of them before, but with Liu Xie's order, the shipyard under the rule of the imperial court started to work in full force, in just a few months, the warships of the imperial court did not decrease but increased compared to before the war, looking at more and more warships on the other side of the river, Sun Quan's heart was called envy, jealousy and hatred.

Before Sun Liu sent Zhuge Jin and Wang Shang as envoys, he wanted to come to a salute before the soldiers, at least to take a point morally, and he didn't want Liu Xie to play cards according to the rules, so he detained Zhuge Jin and sent Wang Shang to Chengdu to be beheaded to show the public, and the reason was quite reasonable, so that Sun Liu couldn't find a suitable excuse if he wanted to fight back.

And now, in order to increase the bargaining chips for victory, Sun Quan sent an envoy again. Liu Bei learned well, and he refused to make a loss-making deal with meat buns and dogs, so this time Sun Quan decided to go it alone. Although the relationship between the two companies is currently cooperative, although the distribution of post-war benefits has not yet been mentioned, they have begun to have their own calculations.

Xue Zong didn't want to come! He was afraid, Zhuge Jin's experience was not far away, he went to Hanying this time, God knows if he can return to Jiangdong alive. But if you don't come, you can't do it, Sun Quan is not a good talker. Xue Zong, who received the order, separated from his family in tears, boarded the boat across the river, and sighed all the way to the camp of the Han army.

Knowing that Jiangdong had sent an envoy again, Liu Xie, who was discussing the military situation with Lu Xun, Tai Shici and others, couldn't help but be stunned, "Why did you send someone here again?" This Sun Quan didn't want to borrow a knife to kill people, and deliberately sent someone he didn't like to kill him to kill him for him, right? ”

"Holy Lord, don't laugh, the last general thinks that Sun Quan will not be so stupid." Lu Xun said with a smile when he heard this.

"Huh...... Hey, did anyone say what their name was? Liu Xie smiled and asked about the humanity of the account.

"Back to the saint, someone who came called himself Xue Zong."

"Oh, and take him to the tent and wait......"

"Let's ...... slowly," Lu Xun interrupted Liu Xie.

Seeing this, Liu Xie looked at Lu Xun, he was not angry because Lu Xun interrupted him, but knew that Lu Xun must have had something in mind when he opened his mouth at this time. Sure enough, I heard Lu Xun continue: "Saint, then General Xue Zongmo has heard a little, he is a cronie of Sun Quan's side, and he is also a nerd. ”

“…… So you think he's so foolish? ”

"Holy Wisdom." Lu Xun hurriedly praised it.

……

Xue Zong waited anxiously in a small tent for a long time, and it was not until evening that he was notified to invite him to the banquet. Hearing the word "going to the banquet", Xue Zong secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since he invited him to eat, he would not eat himself.

With low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, he followed the people to the camp tent where the banquet was held, and saw that the banquet had already begun, when Liu Xie sat on the main seat today, and there were Wenchen military generals sitting on his left and right, as soon as Xue Zong, an outsider, appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tent. Xue Zong was a little uncomfortable, and he still felt this kind of high-profile treatment for the first time.

"Bold! Who's the fanatic? Dare not kneel in front of you! Just when Xue Zong was at a loss, a burst of thunder sounded in Xue Zong's ears, Xue Zong was defenseless for a while, his knees were so frightened that he fell to his knees, and knelt on the ground with a thud.
