Chapter 362: Heaven's Will Is Endless Yuan Highway (Part II)

The Han Dynasty demarcated the ancient Yangzhou with six counties. Jiujiang, Lujiang, Danyang, Huiji, Yuzhang, and Wu County, except for Jiujiang and Lujiang, which were isolated by the generals and divided by the two forces of Cao ** and Liu Biao, the remaining four counties, Sun Ce won a section of Wu County, Huiji, and Yuzhang, while Yuan Shu was entrenched in Danyang and the mountainous areas north of Yuzhang, and it was not easy for them to capture.

Recently, Yan Baihu's father and son took refuge in Yuan Shu and were named Dehou, and the matter of Xiaocai General was not too late for Yuan Shu to show the orthodoxy of his Zhong dynasty, and he didn't want to hide it from anyone at all. It was like adding a superfluous weight to the originally delicately balanced balance frame, which for a while made Yangzhou already entangled with Sun Ce, who was in the prime of the army, because of Yuan Shu's "rebellion against the text", and the chaotic situation caused by the involvement of Qin Xu in Xuzhou, became more and more weird.

After Sun Ce exchanged the jade seal of the country for more than 1,000 old Sun clans, Lai Zhouyu's wisdom and his own bravery, swept Jiangdong by thunderous means in a few months, won three counties, surrendered and accepted rebellions, and the army once increased to nearly 20,000 people.

And after Yuan Shu got the Yan family's more than 10,000 troops to take effect, plus the remnants of the headquarters and the thousands of young men forcibly recruited in Danyang County, the strength of the army has once again reached more than 30,000 people, and the number of troops alone has been compared to the sum of the forces of Qin Xu and Sun Ce, which also makes Yuan Shu's courage more and more sufficient, and he also has the desire to reproduce the "glory" of the Yuan family's Zhong dynasty.

At present, Yangzhou is near the river, Sun Ce is based on Qu'a, Yuan Shu occupies Liyang, Qin Xu entered Yangzhou and stationed in Jiangzhu at the junction of Wu County and Danyang, but on the territory of the two counties, there are more than 70,000 troops from three parties stationed here.

As the "protagonist" of the Luwen incident, Yuan Shu also knew that this was a battle against the water, and with the idea of having soldiers in his hands and not panicking in his heart, he really made a lot of money. Since the news of Qin Xu's army entering Yangzhou spread, almost the entire army of 30,000 under his command was dispatched, and it was actually risky not to leave most of the troops in the camp, but to push the boat along the river, only to leave hundreds of people from the Yan father and son headquarters who had not recovered from injuries in the battle to guard the base camp and a group of family members, and tried to be sincere, but also complacent about seizing the military power of more than 10,000 troops in disguise, and then "piled up" more than 20,000 troops in two ways on the pass that entered Danyang on the east and north sides, and was defended by Li Feng and Lei Bo, and Yuan Shu also entrusted the army with more than 1,000 people who only led hundreds of veterans and remnants of the headquarters as the Chinese army, and entrusted Ji Ling to lead it, with the intention of responding back and forth.

Yuan Shu's abacus is still very shrewd. Moreover, according to Yan Xiang's careful inference, Danyang faces the river in the north, and the soldiers of the Central Plains do not practice water warfare. In the east, it is close to Wu County, and only Xiaoguan and Fuguan, which borders Huiji, can be connected to the "outside world". It can be said that no matter Qin Xu or Sun Ce, if they want to enter Danyang, they can only come from these two places. Although these two passes are not as famous as Tiger Prison, Bishui, Tongguan, etc., they are also dangerous and difficult to attack. Originally, it was a poor mountain and bad water that created the brave Danyang soldiers, but this time it has also become a magic weapon in Yuan Shu's eyes to save his life and even win.

Yuan Shu didn't think about whether Qin Xu and Sun Ce, who were "ordered" to rebel, would divide into two ways and attack two levels each, don't look at Yuan Shu's army in terms of strength can "compete" with the two families, but if this situation really happens, understand that under the gap in each other's combat power, even if it is based on the benefits of the two levels, it is estimated that Yuan Shu can only hope for the so-called Mandate of Heaven. But the news of Liu Xuan's existence in Qin Xu's army made Yuan Shu breathe a long sigh, and even without Yan Xiangming saying it, he could feel that it was really destiny for him, and even found some reasons to brag about his wisdom when he fell for Sun Ce and ordered him to attack Jiangdong for himself.

Liu Miao was originally appointed by the imperial court to assassinate Yangzhou, and he was a relative of the Han family, so the Han court would definitely be on his side, so there was no need to suspect it at all. Therefore, unless Sun Ceken hands over the "fat meat" that has been swallowed in his mouth and is willing to return the three counties of Yangzhou that have already been in his hands, otherwise, the army of Qin Xu, who is "ordered" to rebel and "appease" Sun's forces by the way, will not be too much like going away.

Fools understand that although Sun Ce could still use the excuse of being ordered by Yuan Shu to conquer Yangzhou before, he has now put himself in an embarrassing situation without a "name". Whether it is attributed to Zhou Yu's flawed strategy and unladylike employment; Still complaining that Yuan Shu's brother is too "anxious" to be the emperor's addiction, in short, this "degree" is not grasped well, but when the Sun family has not yet gained a firm foothold in Yangzhou and formed an established fact, Yuan Shu couldn't control the desire in his heart, so he ascended the throne and became the emperor, disrupting Zhou Yu's arrangement, not to mention, so that Sun Ce's forces in Yangzhou were also in a dilemma that was not embarrassing or embarrassing. It's no wonder that Sun Ce's resentment towards Yuan Shu is far more serious now than before.

Therefore, if you are bent on "returning" most of Yangzhou to Liu Xuan, unless Sun Ce is crazy, or the old Sun family who was born in Wu County is really full of loyal heirlooms. But judging from the fact that Sun Jian and Sun Ce regarded the jade seal of the country as their own thing, no matter how you look at it, the old Sun family does not look like a good family. Therefore, this is absolutely impossible.

But if this is the case, when Qin Xu's army, including Liu Xuan, arrives, how to deal with it has become a headache for Sun Ce to consider.

The "price" of joining forces with Qin Xu to attack Yuan Shu is too great, which is tantamount to giving in disguise and giving over the results of half a year's hard work to others, which is of course not advisable. But if it is combined with Yuan Shu again, not to mention whether Yuan Shu will accept it "sincerely", just relying on the "I don't know" who "replaced" Yuan Shu's rebellious essay to write this road, this road has already been cut off. Besides, with Sun Ce's surname, he would never do such a thing. Therefore, now that Sun Ce's position is embarrassing, he can only be forced to choose to compete with the "orthodoxy" of the Han represented by Qin Xu, in order to keep the land of Jiangdong, and Sun Ce's choice is also destined to Yuan Shu is not fighting alone, not alone! If Yuan Shu knew about this, he wouldn't know how happy he would be. The two local forces joined forces to fight against Qin Xu, an outsider, and in terms of strength and geography alone, they had already taken advantage of it, and the chances of victory were a few points greater. Even if the "alliance" is already the "rebellion" of the Zhong dynasty, Yuan Shu will definitely admire himself for his wise decision at the beginning.

"Gong Jin, you said that Qin Zhongming has not moved since he fought the garrison Jiangzhu, what is his intention? Do you want to start a war against two at the same time? Or is it the idea of pulling a family to fight a family? Anyway, I'll give you a letter! Could it be that he is alone and still wants to work with us? Is there a way for Gong Jin to test it? Always waiting like this, I can't beat it, I can't drive it away, it's really depressing! Just when Yuan Shu was in a good mood because of Yan Xiang's analysis of the current situation, and Sun Cejun's constant movement, and even the fact that Huiji had increased his troops in the direction of Fuguan in Danyang County, Yuan Shu really had a good mood and thought that he was really favored by God, Sun Ce, who was regarded by Yuan Shu as an "ally", was a little anxious.

Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, which shows that he is a quick surname. Moreover, in history, Sun Ce's sweep of Jiangdong was also a quick attack, and the state and county were almost laid down, entrusting all the county affairs to the local wealthy families, as long as the Sun family was recognized, they would not harm each other! Although this style gained ground very quickly, there were more and more people, and even many local officials and wealthy families who knew Sun Ce's style of acting in order to cater to Sun Ce's wishes, they could also create a lot of "good things" that Sun Ce passed down and looked down on the wind, giving Sun Ce a name. In addition to making Sun Ce proud of his own martial arts, it has also become the fundamental reason why the Jiangdong Sun clan has adhered to the Eastern Wu for three generations and has not fallen, but there are many internal factions, resulting in the empty elite soldiers and fierce generals, and the military resources and grain can only be defended to be more than enough to underoffensive. And now Sun Ce is still immersed in the refreshing (feeling) feeling of fast attack, and after fighting too much with the wind, he will naturally have a sense of self-satisfaction in his heart, and he is of course very unaccustomed to Qin Xu's slow approach.

"Can't you see it?" Zhou Yu stirred the charcoal fire in the tent, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Although I have not yet determined whether this so-called matter of the text is from Qingzhou. But what is certain is that this Qin Zhongming 'obeyed' to meddle in Yangzhou's affairs, but the first target must be Bo Fu! The reason why this Qin has not moved yet, Yi Yu deduces that it is because he has not yet been able to determine whether he will bear the name of aiding the rebellion if he directly fights with our army, and if he has a plan, he will definitely use a plan against us! ”

"Oh? How so? Does Gong Jin have a way to break the enemy? To tell the truth, he always shrank in Wu County like this, and he didn't dare to go out lightly, and he was afraid that he would go out, making people think that Sun was afraid of him Qin Zhongming, and before he arrived in Wu County, he was so scared that the little overlord of Jiangdong and the emperor of the Zhong family didn't even dare to go out of the land lightly, which was really a bit self-deprecating to become its prestige. Aggrieved tight! Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu's intention to analyze Qin Xu was very incisive, and he also poured bitter water to complain. Sun Ce was called the little overlord of Jiangdong, even Lu Bu was not afraid, he wanted to compete with the world's number one fierce general, but in front of Wenchen, who couldn't pick his shoulders and couldn't lift his hands, and was two years younger than himself, he was "scared" and didn't dare to come out lightly, after a long time, who would take his little overlord seriously? What's more, just as Sun Ce was worried, this person who was so scared that the little overlord of Jiangdong and the emperor of the Zhong family did not dare to send troops was still Lu Bu's son-in-law, which made Sun Ce, who was a little arrogant and urged by the successive tailwind battles, feel uncomfortable. The tone of inquiring about his own righteous brothers even carried a bit of pleading.

"Ahem, Bo Fu doesn't have to be like this, Yu has a plan, maybe you can try ......" (To be continued.) )
