Liu Mang and the staff had already analyzed that it was not a big problem to unite with Liu Bei. The point is to win over Jiangdong Sun Ce and stand on his own side.

When Liu Bowen took Yuwen Chengdu, Yang Yansi and others to Jiangdong day and night, Jiangdong Sun Ce and his staff were also discussing the next strategy.

drove away Liu Xuan, and Sun Ce sat firmly in Jiangdong.

Jiangdong, within the territory of the Han Dynasty, is a remote place. However, there are outstanding people and talents in Jiangdong.

After Sun Ce mastered Jiangdong, he listened to Zhang Zhao's suggestion and moved the administrative office from Qu'a to Wu County.

Wu County (Suzhou), in the middle of Wu County, close to Zhenze (Taihu Lake), has convenient water and land, a larger population, and is more prosperous than Qu'a.

At the same time, Zhang Zhao also offered advice and actively contacted the Jiangdong family.

Among the Jiangdong families, the families such as Yulu, Zhu, Wei, and Gu are the most famous.

Sun Ce actively contacted the major families, and soon recruited a large number of family talents, among them, Lu Kang of the Lu family, Gu Yong of the Gu family, Zhu Huan of the Zhu family, and Wei Teng of the Wei family were the most capable and famous.

Lu Kang, whose name is Ji Ning, is the head of the Lu family, although he is old, he is very famous.

The children of the Lu family have many talents, and the Lu family has returned to the Sun family, attracting other families to follow suit.

Gu Yong, the character Yuan sighed, once studied under the famous Cai Yong, and was very talented.

Gu Yongben was a county magistrate in Wu and had quite a lot of political achievements. Sun Ce controlled Jiangdong and immediately visited Gu Yong as the military commander and participated in the military and political affairs of Wudi.

Zhu Huan, the word Hugh Mu. Although he is only seventeen or eighteen years old, he is not only brave and brave, but also good at leading soldiers. He was recruited by Sun Ce to the army as a general.

Wei Teng, the word Zhou Lin. The children of the Wei family are upright and outspoken.

With the support of the family, Sun Ce gained a firm foothold in Wu and began to plan the next step of development.

……

Sun Ce summoned Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Kang, Gu Yong, as well as Wu Jing, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Zhang Hongfan and others to discuss the expansion and development of the event.

Sun Ce currently occupies most of Wu County and Danyang County in Yangzhou. It is located in the southeast corner of the Han Dynasty. The direction of development and expansion is nothing more than the north, west and south.

To the north of the Yangtze River moat is Guangling County, Xuzhou, which is occupied by Liu Bei.

In the northwest of the Yangtze River, there are two counties of Yangzhou Jiujiang and Lujiang, which are now occupied by Yuan Shu.

To the south of the Yangtze River, to the west, is Yuzhang County, Yangzhou. Now there are no big warlords entrenched.

To the south, is Yangzhou Huiji County, which is now divided by Huiji Taishou Wang Lang and the local Haoqiang Yan Baihu.

……

According to the common concept, it should be developed in the direction of the most developed political and economic development.

The center of Dahan, in the Central Plains, the direction of development of Soochow, should be to the north.

However, Zhang Zhao believes that there are Liu Bei and Yuan Shu in the north, both of whom are powerful and powerful. Developing to the north, it is bound to clash with them.

The Yangtze River is blocked, even if it occupies the northern land, it is difficult to hold on.

The development direction of Soochow should focus on the west and south directions.

Huiji in the south is located in a more remote area, and there are many lofty mountains.

Comparatively speaking, Yuzhang in the west has a vast area and is more suitable for human habitation and development.

Zhang Hong, Lu Kang and others also felt that it was more appropriate to seize Yuzhang.

General Cheng Pu also supported this idea.

Because of the capture of Yuzhang, you can border Jingzhou.

Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, died in the battle with Liu Biao in Jingzhou. After capturing Yuzhang, you can continue to the west, attack Jingzhou, and avenge Sun Jian.

However, Gu Yong did not agree.

Gu Yong's view is that although Yuzhang is more wealthy, the capture of Yuzhang will border Yuan Shu in the north and Liu Biao in the west at the same time.

Liu Biao in the west is the enemy of the Sun family.

Yuan Shu in the north, although the relationship with the Sun family is still good, but Yuan Shu also has the intention of expanding south.

If Eastern Wu seized Yuzhang, it would be equivalent to cutting off Yuan Shu's southward expansion, which would inevitably anger Yuan Shu.

At present, Yuan Shu's strength is strong, and it is really unwise to anger Yuan Shu and set him on fire.

Although Huiji is located in a remote area, after seizing Huiji, it can fully control the southeast of Yangzhou, so that Wu Di has no worries.

After repeated debates, Sun Ce finally decided to take the southern Huiji as the goal of the next development.

And Sun Ce's strategy was: to support the Luoyang Imperial Court, and at the same time to the north and Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, and not to provoke Liu Biao in the west. Go all out and take over the Huiji. After the peace of mind develops and grows, he will seize Yuzhang again, send troops to Jingzhou, and avenge the killing of his father.

……

As soon as Sun Ce decided on the development strategy, he received a report that Liu Bowen, the special envoy of Taiwei Liu Mang, had crossed the Yangtze River and arrived at Qu'a.

Liu Mang and Sun Ce have no friendship and no alliance. The controlled territories are thousands of miles apart and have no intersection.

However, Liu Mang is the only important strategic partner that Sun Ce can rely on.

Geographically, Sun Ce's biggest threat at present is Yuan Shu and Liu Bei, who are only separated by a river.

Liu Bei's strength is not much stronger than Sun Ce, and the threat is secondary.

And Yuan Shu is strong, and Nantuo's intentions are obvious.

Sun Ce wanted to rely on his own strength to prevent Yuan Shu from going south to Yuzhang, but it was almost impossible.

Only by establishing friendly relations with Liu Mang and expecting Liu Mang to contain Yuan Shu in the north can Yuan Shu's southern expansion be delayed.

And in the same way, from a strategic point of view, Liu Mang also needs Sun Ce to contain Yuan Shu from the south. The two sides have the conditions for cooperation.

Liu Bowen can be called Liu Mang's mastermind, and he personally rushed to Eastern Wu, must have sought an alliance to fight against Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce has his own ideas: Liu Mang, get along well; Yuan Shu can't take the initiative to provoke.

Sun Ce immediately ordered his uncle Wu Jing to rush to Qu'a to greet Liu Bowen and his party as a sign of respect.

……

Liu Bowen and his entourage, all the way by boat, arrived at Qu'a, lived in the post house, and waited for Sun Ce to send someone to pick them up.

Liu Bowen and his entourage are all from the north.

Accustomed to seeing the rough and unrestrained wind, frost, rain and snow and mountains and rivers, when I came to the south of the Yangtze River, my eyes were full of green and bright, beautiful mountains and beautiful waters, and I was not only curious.

Shichiro Yanji and Yuwen Chengdu are not very old, so they are inevitably playful.

The two of them stayed in the inn, very bored. Shichiro, in particular, seems to have a boil on his buttocks, and he can't sit still for a moment.

Shichiro secretly stabbed Yuwen Chengdu. "I said, little brother Chengdu, you and Mr. Liu begged to let us go out for a walk."

Yuwen Chengdu said in embarrassment: "Seventh brother, why don't you say it?" ”

Shichiro pouted. "Old Mr. Liu, my mouth is too damaged, I'll go, I'm afraid he will hurt me."

Yuwen Chengdu glared at Shichiro. "Seventh brother, you are afraid of being damaged, but let me say it?"

Shichiro was debunked, but not embarrassed. "Brother Chengdu, you are young, he won't hurt you."

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head again and again. "Then I'm not going either! The lord instructed that Mr. Liu must be safe. Let's go out to play, if the gentleman has an accident, he can't go to the main bus. ”

Qilang said that he couldn't move Yuwen Chengdu, and discussed with Jiang Ping again.

Jiang Ping has been a water thief and has a lot of thoughts.

He was also suffocated, thinking about going out to see the excitement. Then he whispered to Qilang: "Seventh brother, this matter is easy to do." You go to Zhan Xiong Fei to vomit bitter water, and Zhan Zhao will definitely say to Mr. Liu. ”

Sure enough, Zhanzhao listened to Qilang's words and said it to Liu Bowen.

Qu'a was an important town under Sun Ce's rule, and it was very safe to have heavy troops stationed abroad. The city is bustling and lively, and the law and order is very good. And the post house where they live is run by the government, and there is no problem with safety when they live here.

"Go out for a walk, but, don't cause trouble."

Shichiro and the others were overjoyed.

Zhan Zhao was calm, ordered to protect Liu Bowen, and refused to leave half a step.

Qilang Yansi and Yuwen Chengdu Jiang Ping changed into casual clothes and went out to play happily...... (To be continued.) )
