Chaisang is Jiujiang, which does not belong to Yangzhou in the strict sense, but belongs to Jiangxia County in Jingzhou. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Chaisang connects Jiangxia, Yuzhang, Poyang, Lujiang and other places, and is at the watershed point of the Yangtze River, which is a strategic point, and the soldiers must fight, Sun Quan knows its strategic significance, so he asked Cheng Pu to drive away the local Taishou not long ago and stationed in Chaisang.

However, its strategic significance was so great that Liu Biao often sent Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu to harass him, but he was successfully resisted by Cheng Pu.

After capturing Yuzhang, Sun Ce had more than 3,000 soldiers, which was slightly different from Cheng Pu, who was stationed in Chaisang; What's more, Sun Quan had already captured Huiji some time ago, and Wang Lang retreated to Jian'an, which can be said to be in the limelight. If he attacks Chaisang for too long, he is afraid that Sun Ce will not be able to protect himself.

Sun Ce naturally chose to take Luling, Poyang and other places first to restrain Sun Quan; However, as said before, Chai Sang is strategically important, and he can enter the sea, and he can also go directly to Poyang and Yuzhang, so if he wants to take Poyang and Luling, Chai Sang must take it first, otherwise he will have to worry about the future.

On this day, the three of them discussed the matter of taking Chaisang in the hall, and suddenly someone came to report: "There is a secret letter in Jiangdong to submit to the lord!" Sun Ce asked someone to come up, this person was very familiar, it turned out to be Zhou Yu's retainer, and he was quite trusted by Zhou Yu. Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu if he had any letters, and the man said, "The letters have been burned, and they are all in the lower head. ”

Sun Ce smiled, Zhou Yu was quite cautious, so he let the man say it, and the man said: "The male monarch has a saying, saying that General Sun raised troops in Yuzhang, and the people in Jiangdong already know it; Sun Quan wanted to raise troops to attack, but was admonished by his foolish brother and only let Chai Sang Chengpu send troops to alleviate the king's worries. If the general is interested, he can take the opportunity to take Chaisang, and then seize Luling, Poyang and other places, and divide Yangzhou with Sun Quan! ”

"Gong Jin and I went to a place......

Sun Ce asked the man to go down, and entertained him with good food and drink, and then ordered the scout to go to find out about Cheng Pu's army. Now Sun Quan is paying attention to the attack on Jian'an, so he listened to Zhou Yu's admonition; If Jian'an is taken, two-thirds of Yangzhou's land will be in the hands of Sun Quan, and Sun Ce will not be able to resist it at all.

After thinking about it, Sun Ce felt that Cheng Pu had to be defeated, and he had to take advantage of the situation to take Chaisang in order to have the capital to compete with Sun Quan for hegemony. Sun Ce asked the two of them, and Tai Shici said that it was enough for Chaisang to go down the river from Yuzhang, but Sun Ce had no sailors in his hands, so the chances of victory were not great; But Xun Gang has a different view.

"Before, I came from the Lujiang River, passed through Chaisang to Yuzhang, as Ziyi said, with a straight down, no one can stop it, we just need to avoid its edge, with a long crossbow on both sides of the river to hit it."

Sun Ce disagreed, and said: "Those who are good at the navy are also crossbow arrows, our army attacks them with crossbow arrows, and the other army can also do it, and the casualties are difficult to speculate." ”

Xun Gang said again: "If you attack with rockets, what is it?" ”

Sun Ce sneered: "The people in Jiangdong are all good at water, and they attack each other with rockets, even if they fall into the water, the casualties are not large, and they can make a comeback when they return to Chaisang." ”

The military discussion of the three seems to have come to a standstill, after all, Yuzhang has few soldiers and horses, and it is located in the lower reaches of the tributaries of the Yangtze River, which is quite passive; If you give up Yuzhang, it is equivalent to giving up the base camp, and then you will have to be like that Zhu Hao, to be a rogue army.

In this era, there was no such thing as guerrilla tactics, and even if there were, it was the behavior of bandits, and Sun Ce despised it, and losing his territory was like losing his life. He must repel Cheng Pu and take Chaisang!

Before long, a scout suddenly reported: "Chaisang Chengpu, with Jiang Qin as the vanguard, is the Chinese army, leading an army of 5,000 from the Yangtze River to the bottom, and the army has reached the sea dusk!" ”

Haiyang is about fifty miles away from Yuzhang, and according to the speed of the navy down the river, I am afraid that it will not take an hour to reach the city. Time was running out, Sun Ce immediately asked Tai Shi Ci to lead 1,000 soldiers and horses to meet the enemy first, and he himself led 2,000 soldiers and horses to follow.

Xun Gang saw that Sun Ce didn't mean to take him with him, and knew that he didn't trust him, but he didn't mind. He asked Chen to prepare the horse and go by land, and he must go to meet this Cheng Pu.

Without Sun Ce knowing, Xun Gang set off with Chen Dao.

He followed the tributaries of the Yangtze River all the way north, and for about half an hour, he saw the mighty troops flowing downstream; The first person was holding a three-pointed knife, with black skin and strong body, and said in his heart that this person should be the pioneer Jiang Qin, so he asked Chen to prepare some grain and grass that he had asked for before, and shouted at Jiang Qin: "The one who came is General Sun's troops?" ”

Jiang Qin heard the voice, and saw that it was just a child, and he didn't care; Xun Gang saw that Jiang Qin really ignored him, and shouted again: "My master has prepared a hundred grains, and I have come to reward General Sun's troops!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Qin instantly became dishonest, after all, a few hundred grains is not a small amount, with a reward, what reason does he have not to dock?

Jiang Qin asked the troops to rest on the shore for a while, and he brought more than a dozen people to see Xun Gang, who was surprised when he saw Xun Gang's white hair, and asked: "I heard that Xun Gang, the current captain, is full of white hair, could it be you?" ”

There is one feature that is really inconvenient...... Xun Gang shook his head with a smile and said, "The general said that he was joking, now that the captain is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could he come to such a place and wear a cloth robe?" ”

Jiang Qin looked up and down, and saw that this person was no one else except for a few guards, and his heart should be a merchant's family, so he asked, "Who is the master of your family?" ”

Xun Gang's eyes changed suddenly, and he pretended to be mysterious: "Under the master, it is Sun Ce'......"

Jiang Qin was shocked when he heard this, and he wanted to drink violently, but he didn't expect Xun Gang to suddenly stop him: "Please retreat left and right, I want to talk to the general about something." ”

Jiang Qin was skeptical, although he knew that the person who went to crusade this time was Sun Ce, was this person here not to rebel or why? But I don't know why, Jiang Qin couldn't refute him at all, so he could only retreat left and right, pretending to be calm: "General Sun has already said that Sun Ce killed his father, he was disloyal and unfilial, and he despised his behavior, if he wants to surrender, he will not obey!" ”

"Then why did the general retreat?" The smile on Xun Gang's face did not decrease, because he knew that Jiang Qin still had reservations about what Sun Quan said.

After all, who would kill their father for no reason?

Jiang Qin didn't speak, as if he wanted to see what Xun Gang wanted to say.

"I heard that General Jiang was originally a water thief on the Yangtze River, and he wanted to join Sun Ce to make contributions, but it was Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan who never wanted to lead Sun Ce's army; However, Sun Quan's people who defended the success could have taken Yangzhou in one go, took the Central Plains, entered Jingzhou, and then seized the world. However, a year has passed, and now Sun Quan has not even taken half of Yangzhou, how can such an ordinary person give you the opportunity to make contributions? ”

Jiang Qin's body trembled, because what Xun Gang said was exactly what he was worried about before; If you can't make a contribution and leave a name in history, you might as well continue to be a Yangtze River water thief!

"Sun Ce is a hero, and the Jiangdong Shi clan has a lot of attachment; Now Sun Quan is consolidating his own rule and wants to kill his brother as soon as possible. Your Excellency is a loyal man, and my brothers kill each other, so we cannot intervene, but we need to think for ourselves! ”

"What do you mean? Want to plot against me and make me loyal to Sun Ce? Jiang Qin whispered, obviously moving in his heart, "Sun Ce killed his father, rebelled against his army, and the whole world fought against him. ”

Xun Gang had long known that he would ask about this, so he asked rhetorically: "Who said this?" ”

"Naturally, it's General Sun."

Xun Gang smiled: "Have you ever heard Sun Jian talk about this?" ”

"This ......"

Jiang Qin thought about it carefully, when Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others were mentioned in this matter, they all kept their mouths shut, as if they were worried; In this way, the cause of Sun Jian's death is still doubtful, but why did Sun Quan use his big book?

"If he doesn't say so, how can you people like you who want to follow Sun Ce and make great achievements choose to be loyal to him?"

Wake up the person in the dream with a word, Jiang Qin is a big boss, and then he understands why Sun Quan often mentions this matter, especially after hearing that Sun Ce captured Yuzhang. He knew that Sun Ce endangered his rule, so he had to emphasize to the people in Jiangdong many times that if he took refuge in him, he would be to take refuge in an unfaithful and unrighteous person who killed his father and killed the king!

"What a sinister and cunning man!"

Compared with Sun Quan's remarks, Xun Gang's remarks were more logical, so much so that Jiang Qin was more inclined to the latter's remarks.

But he has already pledged his allegiance to Sun Quan, even if he lies and deceives others, how can he betray himself? Even if Sun Ce didn't bear the name of disloyalty and unfilial piety, wouldn't he be unjust?

"There is no right or wrong on the battlefield, please go back......"

Jiang Qin didn't want to take down Xun Gang, but he didn't want to surrender Sun Ce and leave him infamous and infamous in the middle, so painful!

Xun Gang knew that his heart was already moving, and although he let himself leave, he was still entangled. He asked, "In that case, why don't you go with me to meet Sun Ce and see if it's your family's Sun Quan or this Sun Ce." ”

"This ......"

Jiang Qin hesitated, but this was indeed a good opportunity, he admired Sun Ce's name for a long time, and his accomplice Zhou Tai regarded Sun Ce as his role model...... It should be no problem to meet your idol, right?

"I want to lead troops there, if Sun Ce is not the master I think, I will attack him!"

Xun Gang smiled, since you agreed, then prepare to surrender!
