Chapter 473: Plotting to Pacify Jiangdong (2)
The tacit understanding between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can no longer be described as a close friend. Just a word of comfort made Zhou Yu seem to seize some opportunity, and hurriedly asked Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, you just said that Yuzhang is surrounded by mountains, and many of them are more barbaric?" β
"Not bad! What did Gong Jin think? For Zhou Yu's sudden flash of inspiration, Sun Ce has long been used to it. It can be said that with Zhou Yu here, Sun Ce, the master of the army, should be quite worry-free, and carefully adjusted Zhou Yu's backrest up at the moment, waiting for Zhou Yu's next step.
"Bo Fu, quick! Quickly deploy troops to pursue Yan Baihu's troops who escaped from Yuzhang this time. Fast! Otherwise, Yuzhang will be difficult to protect! Zhou Yu didn't have the heart to explain to Sun Ce. The expression on his face changed, and he opened the brocade quilt on his body at the moment, and was anxious to jump off the bed.
"Gong Jin! What happened? That Yan Baihu is just a thief, back then, you and my brother with 800 recruits, facing its thousands of troops, still talking and laughing, now we are waiting for nearly 30,000 elite soldiers, but how did Gong Jin say this? Zhou Yu's actions really startled Sun Ce. Seeing Zhou Yu staggering on the edge of the bed, Sun Ce hurriedly got up and helped Zhou Yu up, and said reproachfully.
"Bo Fu!" A hint of emotion flashed on Zhou Yu's face, but his tone was very anxious, and while pulling Sun Ce outside, he said eagerly: "Before Yu, Yu was quite suspicious of Yan Baihu, a thief, who did not flee in the direction of Danyang County in the north after the matter was revealed, but led his troops south. It was a shame that Bo Fu had just woken up with a word, and he remembered that when Yan Baihu was in power, he was known as the King of Eastern Wu, and although his stronghold was in Wu County, his power was mainly expanded in the Huiji generation. With Huiji County, Yuzhang County, Zhongshan Yuesheng is quite good! This time, he fled south, and the Qin thief suddenly lost his trace, these two things are no coincidence! β
Gong Jin said. Qin Xu's thief will borrow from Shanyuesheng? Sun Ce's brows immediately furrowed when he heard this, he stopped and helped Zhou Yu up, thought carefully for a while, and said in a rather soothing tone: "If Gong Jin is worried about this, you can rest assured." Not to mention that although Qin Xu is a villain, he is quite responsible in dealing with foreign races. Admired. It is said that when Yuan Highway borrowed the Southern Xiongnu soldiers to stay in Chen, his lord LΓΌ Bu and Cao Cao were at odds with each other, and the war had the upper hand. But after the matter spread, it was this Qin who overrode the public opinion, and also persuaded his lord Lu Bu and his brothers to resist their insults outside the wall, and as a result, Lu Bu finally agreed to return the Cao generals. made Yuan Shu's move fall short at that time. Later, both in the same West Liangqiang people. and when he fought with the Shanyue barbarians in Xiao Pass before, it can be seen that Qin Xu was quite ruthless to the aliens. He acted like this, and it seemed that he was not making a show. How can it be entangled with Shan Yuesheng? Besides, if those barbarians knew that Qin Xu and Yan Baihu had just annihilated the Zulang tribe of the Shanyue Sect in Xiaoguan and flooded the clansmen into Tuntian, Danyang County, wouldn't they directly fight with someone Qin in anger? How could he borrow someone from Qin under the mediation of Yan Baihu, who killed Zu Lang? Gong Jin. You're too worried! β
"Ahem! Bo Fu doesn't know! Sun Ce's words sounded very reasonable at first glance, but Zhou Yu was almost crying and laughing. I don't know if it's right or wrong to think and do everything for Sun Ce before I was outside the war, so I said with a wry smile: "The Shanyue people are actually the same as the Xiongnu and Qiang people, although they are active in the mountains of Jiangdong, but they are not monolithic with each other. Otherwise, there will be no distinction between raw and ripe. Most of the Shanyue Familiar Man is close to the place where our Han people live, and they are quite influenced by the Han Dynasty, and they also admire our Han life. For example, the Shanyue Sect, which was used by our army in the previous round, is like this. Therefore, Yu only used some grain and iron tools before, and promised to set aside a certain state and county as a place for the people to settle, so he recruited them for my use. But it's different. These mountains are more and more barbaric, living in the poor mountains and bad waters in the extreme south of the Jiangdong Arc, and rarely intersect with the world, so they have long been troubled by the south. Moreover, there are also a lot of fights between these raw barbarians and familiar barbarians, and they are on the same page. There can be no one thing to say! And that Yan Baihu, when he was in Wu County and Huiji, he was able to live in peace with these Shanyue Shengman, who didn't understand people's words and didn't know people's etiquette, and wanted to come here to borrow the road, with Yan Baihu coming forward, what was impossible for Qin Xu? And once this matter is indeed as Yu expected, then Yuzhang will be really dangerous! β
"But that Qin Xu ......" Sun Ce was obviously a little changed by Zhou Yu's words, if it was really as Zhou Yu said, Qin Xu did not attack Yuzhang from a few passable roads on the four sides of Yuzhang, but under the influence of Yan Baihu, from a certain state and county south of Yuzhang, if he suddenly killed, there is Xiao Guan in the east to block the throat, Danyang County in the north, which has taken refuge in Lu Bu's army, Lujiang County where the feud Liu Biao is based, and Yuzhang in Changsha County, Jingzhou in the west, it is really possible to face the situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth are not working.
"Bo Fu, don't talk about that Qin thief's treatment of foreigners!" The wry smile on Zhou Yu's face became more and more obvious, since he heard Qin Xu's gossip that there was still a vast world outside the four dimensions of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yu felt that Sun Ce seemed to have been brainwashed by someone in Qin, although he was still the little overlord of Jiangdong in the war, with decisive strategy and unmatched bravery, but in the matter of treating Qin Xu's troops, Sun Ce was obviously a lot more negative. Isn't this all at this time, he was tossed by Qin Xu just now, and he is still believing in Qin's character at this moment, so that Zhou Yu doesn't know what to say to his righteous brother. I had to say: "What Qin Xu did to insult my Han clan before, to be honest, Yu also admired it from the bottom of his heart." But the sage said that Yi Di entered China and China was China, and Yu was more and more worried because he knew too much about the ability of that Qin envoy! Bo Fu, look at who Qin Xu brought to Jiangdong now? It was the yellow turban thief who was the scourge of Qingzhou back then! It is the first camp controlled by the Yuan clan that Lu Bu is currently crusading! It was left by Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou before, and the Danyang soldiers who rebelled several times! These people, now they are all working hard for that Qin Xu! Those mortal enemies can be resolved by Qin Xu, so that these fierce soldiers will be used for it! Bo Fu dared to guarantee that there were only a few mountains and more barbarians, in front of the 30,000 elite army of someone in Naqin, and under the 'persuasion' of the 10,000 army led by Yan Baihu, how long would those Shanyue barbarians who had not seen much of the world last? Not to mention that it was just a borrowing, even if it was reported that Qin Xu had adopted those Shanyue people in a few days, Yu would not have the slightest sense of strangeness! β
"What Gong Jin said is extremely true! Ce now to prepare for the deployment of troops, Gongjin and rest and recuperate from his injuries, don't bother. After a few days, Cezi will bring the head of the Yan White Tiger back to Gong Jin! I don't know if it was Zhou Yu's seemingly infinitely exaggerated "praise" Qin Xu's words, or Sun Ce also didn't want to see what Zhou Yu was worried about, Yu Zhang would face enemies on all sides at that time, and he could only be trapped in the lonely city. immediately patted Zhou Yu's arm and said vigorously.
"Bo Fu should go quickly! Yan Baihu wanted to enter the mountain to meet Qin Xu this time, and the march should be hurried and fast, and there would never be the slightest delay, but if he had already entered the mountain, Bo Fu would never take the enemy lightly! When the speed back to the defense of the chapter, in response to its changes. In addition, Yu always felt that no matter whether it was Qin Xu or Guo Jia, they were definitely not good characters, so Bo Fu was very careful! Zhou Yu said with a reassuring reassurance.
"Gongjin rest assured! If you can catch the thief this time, even if you can't catch it, Ce will rush back as soon as possible, and never let Yuzhang County be forced by the villain again! Sun Ce nodded heavily. Placed Zhou Yu on the bed, instructed the servants in the house to take care of it, and went by himself.
There's an old saying. The people who know themselves best are often their enemies. Zhou Yu's inference from Sun Ce's ordinary words was actually a good guess about Qin Xu's whereabouts.
In fact, Qin Xu's heart really didn't want to take advantage of the mountain path where Dao Mountain Yue Shengman was located. Not to mention that the army is difficult to move, in Qin Xu's initial opinion, there is no need at all. As soon as time is pressing, if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are fully prepared, they will add a lot of difficulties to their 30,000 army, which can be regarded as a lone army, and the gains outweigh the losses. Moreover, Fuguan as the throat that locks the three counties of Huiji, Wujun and Yuzhang has already been obtained by Qin Xu, although the road from Fuguan to Yuzhang is relatively rugged compared to the road in the Central Plains, but it is always much easier to walk than the sheep intestine trail in the mountain. Besides, the Shanyue people, who have almost dragged the Sun family back for more than ten years in history, are not so easy to say, otherwise, with the ability of the Sun family for three generations, why have they been struggling for so long for the matter of Shanyue? Qin Xu is not so optimistic that as Guo Jia said, with such a "middle figure" as Yan Baihu, Shanyue Shengman will become very communicative? !
Besides, Yan Baihu could go south and west directly from Yuzhang County, even if the generals of the Sun family were stupid, they didn't notice anything unusual until Yan Baihu left for a long time. But in such a vast mountain, who can guarantee that he can be so coincidental and on time to reach the predetermined place in the mountains of ordinary appearance in Qin Xu's opinion? The Shanyue barbarians in this mountain are not so reasonable, if before Yan Baihu arrived, Qin Xu's army of 30,000 people carrying five days' food had a slight friction with the Shanyue people, then all kinds of foreplay would have been done in vain. Qin Xu didn't want to get caught up in the endless battle with the Shanyue barbarians before he saw Yuzhang County, and also created difficulties for Lu Bujun to officially enter the six counties of Yangzhou in the future. I really don't understand why Guo Jia, who is far away in Wu County, plotting the affairs of Yan Baihu, and has never interfered in Qin Xu's military affairs while leading troops abroad, suddenly sent Qin Xu such a "suggestion" when Qin Xu sent troops from Fuguan.
However, out of trust in Guo Jia in history, as well as Qin Xu's personal experience of Guo Jia's planning in the past, it was obvious that he was thinking of the next big game of chess, Qin Xu finally chose to believe in "history" and led his troops to approach the vast mountains at the junction of Huiji and Yuzhang......
