"Zhang Gong, what is your plan to persuade Cao Ying to send troops?" After the discussion was over, Sun Quan specially left Zhang Zhao for detailed questioning. Zhang Zhao only said the reason why he could contact Cao Ying, but did not say how to contact him, Sun Quan followed Zhang Zhao to contact for a long time, knowing that he must have something inconvenient to say in public, so he left him to ask.

"My lord, at the moment, Cao Ying led an army of 100,000 to confront Yuan Shao in Guandu, but Yanzhou left 150,000 horses. If it is not eyeing Yuzhou, who can believe it? Moreover, Liu Bei and Cao Ying had old grudges, and it was only because of the joint resistance to Yuan Shao that they temporarily formed an alliance. Once Yuan Shao eases the offensive a little, the two will inevitably turn against each other. Therefore, if we promise Cao Ying that when the Xuzhou army captures Jiangdong, Cao Ying will take advantage of the situation to attack Yuzhou, then Cao Ying will definitely agree! Zhang Zhao smiled confidently.

"This is true, but why did Cao Ying attack Yuzhou instead of Xuzhou?" Sun Quan frowned and asked. He knew that Xuzhou was Liu Bei's foundation, wouldn't it be better to fight here?

"Alas!" Zhang Zhao also sighed a little gloomily and said: "The old minister was originally from Xuzhou, and I heard that the humanity of his hometown is that after Liu Bei's governance in the past four years, Xuzhou has now been completely popularized, and it is difficult to capture it in a hurry." Moreover, Cao Ying was forced to cede Taishan County before, and it was very difficult to attack Xuzhou. However, Yuzhou is scarce in soldiers and horses, and if Cao Ying attacks it, it will be easy. ”

"Having said that, how can you say that Cao Ying?" Sun Quan was still a little worried. Although he hadn't met Cao Ying, he also knew that Cao Ying was by no means the one who helped him so easily.

"Well, you have to do what you want!" Zhang Zhao smiled a little strangely, and then looked at Sun Quan with a puzzled expression, so he had to patiently explain: "Cao Ying is a womanizer, if you can send a beautiful woman with you, then Cao Ying will be willing to send troops!" ”

"Huh?" Sun Quan was a little surprised by Zhang Zhao's proposal, and then thought about it but sighed: "If you want to marry, then there are no beauties in my Sun clan, and my little sister is only nine years old this year, so what can I do?" ”

"What the minister said is not Miss, but ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Zhao was also a little hesitant. And what? Sun Quan was also very puzzled about what suitable candidate Zhang Zhao had.

"It's Qiao's concubine, the concubine of the first lord!" Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth and said, then saw that Sun Quan's face was not very good-looking, and hurriedly explained: "Lord, this matter is not impossible. Although Mrs. Qiao is beautiful and fragrant, she is only the concubine of the first lord after all, not the wife. Moreover, Cao Ying has a strange taste, he has always regarded girls as broken flowers and willows, but he treats other people's wives as wonderful women. When it was said that Shouchun was attacked, the pseudo-concubines Wu and Liu of Yuan Shuzhong's court should be beheaded according to the law, but Cao Ying took it for himself, which can be seen! If you send Mrs. Qiao and Cao Ying, she will be willing to send troops! ”

"No way!"

Zhang Zhao was still babbling and explaining, Sun Quan had already stopped drinking, and then regardless of Zhang Zhao's stunned face, Sun Quan said angrily: "Less than a year after the death of the eldest brother, I will exchange his widow for foreign aid?" In this way, even if Cao Ying can be persuaded to raise troops, but under Jiuquan, what face do I have to see my eldest brother? Zhang Gong, this matter has to be said again! ”

"My lord?" Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything. Seeing that this student of his own was so angry, Zhang Zhao knew that he was no longer the boy who followed him respectfully. I confessed on the spot and walked away a little disgraced.

Although Zhang Zhao is gone, Sun Quan said that his son is not much better. The two armies of Liu Bei and Liu Biao were like two heavy boulders pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to sleep. Seeing that it was already noon, Sun Quan still didn't move at the food in front of him.

"Quan'er, why are you so worried?" Sun Quan heard the sound and looked, but saw that it was his mother, Mrs. Wu, who came over, but the attendants on the left and right saw that Sun Quan couldn't eat, so he had no choice but to tell Mrs. Tai.

"Mother!" Sun Quan saw his mother, and then he sighed and told the truth of the matter. Mrs. Wu listened carefully, and when she heard that Zhang Zhao actually proposed to exchange Da Qiao for Cao Ying's troops, the old lady couldn't help but be furious and said, "What kind of strategy is this? Zibu is good at internal affairs, but military strategy is not his strength! Zhongmou, you must not act like this! ”

"Naturally, the child won't, but now two people are coming, so what can I do?" Sun Quan frowned. I didn't want Mrs. Wu to smile: "Didn't Quan Er forget what your eldest brother said before he died." ”

"Huh?" When Sun Quan heard this, it was as if he was walking alone in the dark, and suddenly saw a bright light. "Ask Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Lang if you don't decide on foreign affairs! Quan'er, now that foreign enemies are attacking, why don't you summon Gongjin to come and discuss? Mrs. Wu patiently enlightened.

"Mother has a point!" Sun Quan was also relieved when he heard this, and he began to be in the mood to eat at the moment. Mrs. Wu saw Sun Quan willing to eat, so she relieved herself and left.

"Humph!" As soon as his mother left, Sun Quan's originally smiling face suddenly turned gloomy. His eldest brother, the brother-in-law and governor of Jiangdong, is really in the limelight, even if he is far away in Poyang, his influence is still so obvious. Although he is the lord of Jiangdong, he is a little helpless in the face of him. Among the two major ministers, Zhang Zhao is his own person, so he is naturally fine, but he doesn't have to, and what's worse is that he still holds military power.

"That's it, let's get past the current level first!" Sun Quan weighed the weight, and for the time being, he still couldn't do anything to Zhou Yu. "Someday I'll get you!" Sun Quan hated the earth at the same time in his heart.

Not to mention that Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu, who was in Poyang, to return to Wu County to obey orders, but the city of Lujiang at this time was very lively. "Wen Xiang, Wen Chang, Zhongye hasn't seen you for a long time!" Zhao Feng smiled and smiled at the Yuzhou military horses who came to converge, and the people who took the lead were Xu Sheng, Wei Yan and Wen Ping.

"Meet General Zhao!" The three of them bowed in unison. "Why do you need to be polite, please talk in the big tent!" Zhao Feng was still a little uncomfortable with these guys being so polite for a while, since he was named General Zhengnan, his colleagues were somewhat afraid to be so casual with him anymore, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.

"General Zhao, I'll lead the army all the way from Anyang. Passing through the four counties of Lujiang, all of them surrendered in Kaecheng! After sitting down, it was Wei Yan who reported first. This time Zhao Feng went south to Jiangdong, Liu Bei and Guan Yu equipped him with a total of eight generals, namely Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Xu Sheng, Li Tong, Guan Ping, and Gan Ning. In addition, there are also Lu Su and Lu Jun, two civilian officers who are familiar with Jiangdong's affairs.

"We have also leveled the three counties east of the Lujiang River, and now there is only Yangquan County, where the Lujiang City Governance Office is located, and now we have surrounded it." Zhao Feng also nodded, but there was some irrepressible excitement in his heart.

This time, Liu Bei handed over an army of 110,000 to him. Although Zhao Feng has not been defeated since he was in the army, he also knows that those books are all because of his opponent's Taicai. Strictly speaking, in these years, except for the battle against Cao Ying in Xuzhou and Peiguo, which can be regarded as a strong opponent, the rest are rabble. This time to conquer Jiangdong, even if Sun Quan is not as good as Cao Ying, but the two are not far apart, so Zhao Feng is even more cautious, for fear that he will be incompetent and kill 100,000 troops.

"In the county where we went, there were only hundreds of county soldiers left, presumably the same is true of Wen Chang, it seems that the other party wants to shrink his troops and stick to Yangquan to wait for help!" Zhao Feng continued, then turned his head and asked Lu Su: "The general of Lujiang is Sun Quan's cousin Sun Fu who led an army of 10,000 to defend the town, does Zijing know how this person is?" ”

"Sun Fuzi Guoyi is the son of Sun Ce's uncle Sun Qiang, and he is quite brave." Lu Su stroked his beard and smiled.

"Quite brave?" Zhao Feng also groaned when he heard this. was about to discuss countermeasures, and at this moment, someone came to report, and Zang Ba, who stayed in Shouchun, recommended a person to vote.

"I've seen General Zhao, generals!" A Confucian student in Tsing Yi came into the big tent and made a group of gestures to Zhao Feng and the generals. "No need to be polite, Your Excellency is Jiang Gan Jiang Ziyi, a famous man in Jiujiang?" Zhao Feng looked at the letter of introduction opened by Zang Ba in his hand, and said a little incredulously. The letter said that Jiang Gan, a famous man in Jiujiang, was quite good at arguing, and had lived in Jiangdong for a long time and was familiar with local affairs, so he recommended him to come to Zhao Feng to help.

"It's down there!" Jiang Gan smiled, but he was also a little proud in his heart, he didn't expect that his reputation was not small, even Zhao Feng and Zhao Botao, who were in Xuzhou, knew his words. How did he know, after a thousand years, almost no one did not know his name.

"I heard that Your Excellency has lived in Jiangdong for a long time, do you know that Sun Fu, the guard general of Yangquan County, is now?" Zhao Feng asked tentatively at the moment. He didn't dare to trust this Jiang someone, but for now, let's see.

"This Sun Fu was sent to death by Sun Quan!" Jiang Gan's words were astonishing. Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Jiang Gan no longer played tricks, but directly told Zhao Feng and others the truth. It turned out that after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan, who succeeded to the throne, was young, so some of the Sun clansmen were also ready to move, and the most eager among them was Sun Quan's cousin, Sun Fu's eldest brother Sun Ben. Although he was later nipped in the bud by Sun Quan, Sun Quan obviously couldn't let these hidden dangers remain in Jiangdong, so he sent Sun Ben to Jiaozhou, but let Sun Fu guard the Lujiang River. It's a shame that Jiang Gan has been visiting friends in Jiangdong for a while ago, and this person likes to explore all kinds of gossip news in his life, and the news of this kind of family infighting is not very tightly blocked, and he actually knows the inside story very well.

"This is also reasonable, Lujiang is lonely in the north of the river, if Sun Quan is bent on guarding, it will inevitably outweigh the losses, so he transferred his cousin, who is not very concentric, to guard Lujiang, obviously he wants to borrow a knife to kill people!" Zhao Feng also sighed. At this time, the Malay newspapers all said that most of the defenders on Lujiang City were old, weak, sick and disabled, and full of county soldiers.

"I see!" The generals were even more stunned in their hearts, it seemed that what Jiang Gan said was true. "In this case, Sun Fu is already a lone army, Zijing, you will write a letter of persuasion to surrender, and let the army scribes copy more than 100 copies and shoot them into the city." Zhao Feng saw that it was getting late today, and it was too late to attack the city, so he simply tried to attack the heart first.

"Understand!" That night, Lu Su wrote hard to persuade him to surrender the letter, and then ordered someone to shoot into the city. The effect is still obvious, the next morning just after dawn, the gate of Lujiang City was opened, and a young man who looked more heroic than the official seal held the official seal, leading a group of civil and military officials out of the city to ask for surrender.

"Meet General Zhao!" Seeing Zhao Feng driving forward, the young man led by him also stepped forward quickly with two people and bowed down in front of the horse. "No need to be polite, Your Excellency is the Taishou Sun Fu of Lujiang?" Zhao Feng asked. I looked closely, and I was really young. Think about Sun Quan is only 18 years old this year, he is Sun Quan's cousin, and it is estimated that he is only 17 years old.

Sun Fu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then he said: "I was ordered to guard Lujiang, but I am not too protective of Lujiang." Lujiang guards Gu Yong too much, but it is in Shucheng County, Jiangnan. As soon as these words came out, the identity of his abandoned son was undoubtedly revealed. Zhao Feng also understood when he heard this, and immediately confiscated the official seal of Sun Fu's broken captain, but ordered him to be a Peng official under his own general Zhengnan, and then settle it first.

At this point, the Xuzhou army swept away Sun Quan's only stronghold in Jiangbei, Lujiang, almost without a single soldier. From Sun Fu's mouth, Zhao Feng learned that Sun Quan incorporated the part of the south of the Lujiang River into Danyang County, and his own brothers Sun Yi and Gu Yong led 20,000 elite soldiers to defend it.
