Sun Quan frowned, and kept walking around in the hall of the county office, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Li Nie's construction did make him moved, but if he did this, there was a risk, and the risk was very great, and once it failed, the Jiangdong Army would probably have to fully withdraw from Liaodong.

However, the risks and benefits are equal.

If this thing is done, then the time it takes for Jiangdong to occupy Liaodong can be saved by at least two to three years, which will greatly save Jiangdong's countless manpower and financial resources, and with these few years, Gongsun Zan will be defeated in the future, and he and Yuan Shao can also have a stable foundation when they compete for Youzhou.

Originally, Sun Quan estimated that it would take at least three years for Jiangdong to completely take Liaodong.

After all, the most troops that Jiangdong can put in Liaodong are the Hushi under his command, Sun Ce's overlord iron cavalry, and Mi Zhu's 3,000 Xuzhou soldiers, plus the upcoming 20,000 Jiujiang soldiers, adding up to 30,000 soldiers and horses.

And Gongsun Du is not a busy person like Liu Xuan, let alone an old and weak person, he is in the prime of life, courageous, powerful, under the command of 100,000 Liaodong soldiers, with outstanding achievements.

Liaodong has always been bitter cold, the people here, the people are fierce, they have lived here for many years, and their natural physique is stronger than that of Jiangdong, so the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong soldiers is definitely much stronger than the Xuzhou soldiers and Jiujiang soldiers even if they are not as strong as the elite overlord iron cavalry and the tiger warriors under the car.

Therefore, if you want to win Gongsun Du, even if you have the strong support of Jiangdong locals, there will be no three years, whether it is Zhou Yu or Sun Ce, even Sun Quan is not sure, and once Gongsun Du realizes the strength of Jiangdong, he also gives up the courage to give up Xuansu and Le Lang directly, gather all the soldiers and horses under his command, and give the Jiangdong Army all their best blow, and the Jiangdong Army may have to withdraw from Liaodong.

"Huaide, what if Gongsun Chan is really willing to borrow troops to help us take Xiangping, but in the end he is unwilling to retreat? How is it good? Above the hall of the county office, Sun Quan pondered for a long time before he made a decision, he took a deep breath, looked at Li Nie, and asked the last question.

"Gongzi is too worried, now Gongsun Chan has just swept away Youzhou, killing Liu Yu, it can be regarded as not recovering his vitality, and Jizhou Yuan Shao is eyeing him, although Gongsun Chan last year and this year are all defeated on the battlefield in Jizhou, but sooner or later there will be a decisive battle between them, for Gongsun Zhan, his mind is still in Jizhou.

And this place in Liaodong is originally a bitter cold place, Jiangdong is rich, and naturally has the ability to support it, and taking Liaodong is the icing on the cake, but it may not be for Gongsun Zhan, maybe it is a burden, so Liaodong is not so attractive to Gongsun Zhan, and he has no need to offend a Jiangdong who should be his ally for Liaodong. ”

A sharp light swept in Li Nie's eyes, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he said coldly: "Of course, even if he can't see through this, and he is greedy and unwilling to withdraw from the army, it is better for us to deal with him Gongsun Chan than to deal with Gongsun Du, Gongsun Chan has no foundation in Liaodong, and the grain is still in our hands, how can he fight with us." ”

"You're right."

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes were shining, he nodded, and said: "We are the dragon crossing the river, and Gongsun Du is the head snake of the land, so Gongsun Zan is the sitting tiger, compared to the head snake, I am more willing to fight with the sitting tiger." ”

"Childe's example is very suitable, we only have one chance, now it's up to Childe to decide? To bet or not to bet? Li Nie's eyes stared at Sun Quan, and there was a meaningful light in his eyes, he just wanted to see if Sun Quan had the courage.

He chose Jiangdong because of Sun Quan, but he looked further, the current Jiangdong is Sun Jian, but the Jiangdong in the future is not Sun Quan, there is Sun Ce, and sooner or later he will have to choose.

Sun Quan recruited him, of course he was inclined to Sun Quan, but ...... Sun Quan must have the qualifications to make him submit.

"Bet!"

Sun Quan's fists were clenched, his face like a crown of jade had a touch of tenacity, his faint green eyes burst out with a dazzling light, and he said coldly: "The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, since there is such an opportunity, we must grasp it well and take Liaodong in one fell swoop." ”

"Childe Shengming!"

The corners of Li Nie's mouth outlined a satisfied smile, which made Sun Quan a little cold.

Sun Quan looked at Li Nie and asked, "Li Nie, how do you want to fight this battle?" Listen to you. ”

"It's not difficult, we borrowed 30,000 troops from Gongsun Zhan, and then added the largest number of troops we can gather at present, including the navy, how many are gathered, either we don't fight, or we come ruthlessly, we don't have a back, they can't survive."

Li Nie had already planned in mind, pointed to the map, and said loudly: "The soldiers and horses of Youzhou must use our warships to take the sea route, and we must not alarm the troops of the subject countries of Liaodong. ”

"Borrowing 30,000 soldiers, a bit large-scale, does his Gongsun Chan have such a large amount?" Sun Quan squinted.

"Gongsun Zhan's measurement is based on our grain, and if we have enough food, I believe that he is willing." Li Ne whispered.

"Okay, listen to you, someone is coming, pass on Pan Zhang's Lei Ding, and also, find the navy docked near Yujin, Captain Xue Gong."

Since Sun Quan had made a decision, he no longer hesitated, sat down, picked up the pen, and then brushed a letter written, shouted, asked people to invite the two fierce generals around him, and then continued to foreshadow the book.

"Childe!"

Xu Sheng was not there, Pan Zhang and Lei Ding were the most powerful generals around Sun Quan, and when they heard his order, they quickly came to the county government and waited, and then in less than half an hour, another middle-aged general in armor strode in.

"Xue Gong, the lieutenant under the Tiger, pays a visit to Gongzi." This is one of the captains of the five small fleets under the command of the Zhou Yu Tiger Fleet.

Sun Quan ignored the three of them, lay on his desk, and wrote two letters in a row before he wrote it, he first sealed this letter with fire wax, handed one of them to a tiger soldier beside him, and said in a low voice: "You immediately whip the letter quickly, expedite it day and night, and send it to the eldest prince of Pingguo, don't slack off." ”

"No!"

This member of the tiger took the envelope, put it in his arms, nodded firmly, and then walked down quickly.

"Let you come, in fact, there is a task, Xue Gong." Sun Quan looked at the three of them.

"Here!"

Xue Gong is a native of Lujiang and can be regarded as a naval general promoted by Zhou Yu. Now Zhou Tai's fleet is in Qingzhou, Xuezhou's fleet is in Pingguo, the first fleet directly under Zhou Yu, and the Tiger fleet have become grain carriers and have been dismantled for use.

"There are two things, first, you immediately send someone to set sail to Donglai, inform General Zhou Tai, let his fleet prepare as a whole, enter the Liaodong Sea, go to Youzhou, and then wait for my order."

Sun Quan's eyes stared at him, and he said loudly: "Second, your fleet will return immediately, hand over this letter to the lord, and tell him that in half a month, he will see 8,000 stone of grain transported to Liaodong, and within another month, 10,000 stone of grain will be prepared." ”

Jiangdong rarely fights, and now it is also two years of cultivation and recuperation, and there is a lot of food, and with the continuous development of Zhoushan and Yizhou, there have been small results, and he believes that Sun Jian can take out this amount of grain in a short time.

"No!" Xue Gong took the envelope and hurriedly went down, preparing to set sail and return to Jiangdong.

"Lei Ding, how many brothers can use the tiger warrior under the car now?" Sun Quan stood up, looked at Lei Ding, and asked loudly.

"Childe, the tiger soldiers under the car have basically recovered their breath, and now there are 1,200 soldiers who can barely go to the battlefield." Lei Ding was a little excited in his heart, looking at Sun Quan's action, it was obvious that he had a big plan.

"Where's the Overlord Iron Rider?"

"There are a thousand people who can use it."

"Very good, immediately gather the tiger warriors under the car, Lei Ding, you personally lead them, go to Pingguo, and exchange Pingguo's thousand overlord iron cavalry back, I need cavalry." Sun Quan squinted his eyes and looked at the sky outside, with a hint of war intent in his eyes.

"Childe, the Overlord Iron Cavalry is the eldest prince's soldier, without the eldest prince's order, will they listen to us?" Lei Ding gritted his teeth and asked softly.

"I've already said hello to the eldest prince, after you arrive in Pingguo, you must listen to the orders of the eldest prince, no matter what, keep Pingguo, understand?"

Sun Quan said coldly.

"No!" Lei Ding trembled slightly, his little caution couldn't hide from Sun Quan at all, so he went down immediately and prepared to gather the car to get off the Hushi.

"Pan Zhang, you go to Youzhou with a certain person."

Sun Quan looked at Li Nie and said in a low voice: "This time to borrow troops, I have to go in person to show Jiangdong's sincerity, only the Yu family, I will trouble you, this is Jiangdong's current command base, providing the guarantee for the defense of Pingguo and my attack on Xiangping, and it is also the retreat if we are defeated." ”

"That's how you believe so-and-so?" Li Ni's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked.

"Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people, this is my Sun Quan's principle, if I don't believe you, I won't recruit you." Sun Quan's words were hard, but they made Li Nie's heart feel warm.
