"Uncle, wait first, the old lady is taking care of the housework." Wu Guotai did not live in the Wuhou Mansion, but found a pleasant manor in the city to live, but the Wuhou Mansion was not too far away.

"Housework?" As soon as he heard the housework, Qiao Ren suddenly became interested, and looked at the old housekeeper in front of him with a smile in his eyes, and he felt furious in his heart, "Let's hear it." ”

The old housekeeper didn't expect Qiao Ren, the former general of the official residence and the general of Zhengdong, to gossip like this, and was stunned for a while before whispering: "It's the matter of the second son!" "The old housekeeper is a side of the Wu family, and he also grew up watching Sun Shangxiang, and he didn't hide it from Qiao Ren under Aiwu and Wuxia.

It turns out that this thing is really not a matter, Sun Quan likes hunting as much as Sun Ce (it seems that everyone in the Sun family loves this), every time he hunts, he often rides a horse and shoots a tiger, and the tiger often pounces forward on the saddle, and Sun Quan shoots an arrow again, and he plays a heartbeat game. These times it was better, I made a thing called a tiger shooting car, and I didn't make a lid, I drove it alone, and I shot it inside. At that time, there was a beast that broke away from the group, and ran directly towards Sun Quan's car, and this thing actually hit it with his hand for fun. No, this time I played big and was overturned by a wild boar, and I was a little injured and was being reprimanded by Wu Guotai!

Qiao Ren really can't understand the Sun family's strong genes, you said that Sun Ce is strong in martial arts and outstanding in archery, and it will be over if he has nothing to hunt, and even Sun Quan, the second weak among the brothers of the Sun family (the first is Sun Lang), has nothing to shoot tigers to play, what does Qiao Ren say!

In the past half an hour, Sun Quan finally came out of the house with his head down, and accidentally saw Qiao Ren who was idle outside the door. "Ziyan is here for marriage."

"I've seen the second brother, Ren is here to report to the old lady for this matter." Although the two don't deal with each other, they haven't reached the point of turning their faces, they still have the etiquette they should have, and the two are real relatives.

"Huh!" Sun Quan Xu was scolded for being stupid, and said to Qiao Ren happily: "Ziyan, don't be so outside, we will still be in-laws in the future!" Hehe~"

Qiao Ren looked at Sun Quan's departing back, and didn't know what kind of coke he had after being scolded for most of the hour. Before he had time to think about it, he was called in by Wu Guotai. After that, it was very simple, Wu Guotai met all of Qiao Ren's conditions with a smile almost all the time.

"Former general, summoned by the Supreme."

When Qiao Ren came out of the old lady's mansion, he was stopped by Sun Ce's chamberlain and taken directly to the main hall of Wuhou Mansion. When Qiao Ren arrived, Zhou Yu, Lu Fan, Zhu Zhi, Sun Shao, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao were all here, and it seemed that they were waiting for Qiao Ren alone.

"News from the west, Zhang Lu took Ma Chao as the general and raised 40,000 troops to attack Shuzhong. This news is the end of September, and now it is December, and the battle in Shuzhong is estimated to have entered a critical point. Sun Shao picked up a silk book and carefully introduced it to everyone in the hall.

"Ahem!" Sun Ce cleared his throat and asked, "Ziyan, you just returned from Jingzhou and have seen Liu Bei's men. How do you think this battle will develop? ”

"Hanzhong Army, Ren has never seen it. But Ren had heard that Zhang Lu had attacked Shuzhong many times when Liu Zhang was in power, and was defeated by the Yizhou army, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Hanzhong army is really not flattering, but this time it was led by Xiliang Ma Chao, and the horses were brave and even Cao Cao almost suffered, with Liu Bei's strength, this battle should be between five and five. But I'm afraid the key to this battle is not on these two sides! ”

"But you're worried about Cao Cao!?" Zhou Yu on the side turned his head and asked, but the tone had already been determined.

Qiao Ren nodded lightly and said with a smile: "After Cao Cao's battle in Huainan, his strength has recovered for nearly half a year, and there is no war in the southeast, I am afraid that he will not let go of the great opportunity, and there will be a competition in Hanzhong." But not now, I think Cao Cao will wait until Liu Bei and Zhang Lu are exhausted before he takes action. ”

"If they want to fight orphans, they will be fulfilled, and Huainan will not make big moves in the past two years, and focus on management." With a wave of Sun Ce's hand, the strategy of the five counties of Huainan immediately became diligent in internal affairs. (Guangling Taishou is Zhu Ran, Qiao Ren can't control it yet)

"Whoa!"

"As for Jingzhou, I heard that Guan Yu built a beacon tower along the river that stretched for hundreds of miles. Can there be such a thing..." Sun Ce's voice was cold, and he asked everyone present.

Indeed, since Qiao Ren left, Guan Yu has built a large number of beacon towers along the river as in history, and the purpose is self-evident to prevent the naval army of Eastern Wu.

"This is indeed the case, and Governor Lu has reported it clearly." Zhu Zhi, who was the virtual leader of Xuzhou Mu, opened his mouth and said, he was the most concerned general among the people present who attacked Nanjun to take Jingzhou, and he always paid attention to Jingzhou's actions and would not let go of the slightest opportunity.

"Humph!" Sun Ce was dissatisfied with this right and wrong, Guan Yu's attitude was really bad, it was clear that he couldn't trust Dongwu, thinking who gave him a piece of land when Liu Bei was down, and now hum! With a cold snort, Sun Ce smiled and said, "It's a small plan, it's a smile and a generous." ”

is indeed laughing and generous, such a precaution between the two allies is simply more important than the defense of Cao Jun, it is estimated that Cao Ren of Fancheng will laugh! Lao Cao in Yecheng still wants the Sun and Liu families to do it, but if this fights, the strength of Liu Bei's family in Jingzhou is really not enough for Lu Meng, Lu Meng led an army of 40,000 to sit in Xiakou, backed by the five counties of Jingnan, and leaned on Chaisang in the east, and he could easily gather 100,000 troops within a month, which was much better than in history. Guan Yu's 30,000 troops are indeed not enough, even if Liu Bei wants to help, waiting for his army to come out with the difficulty of Shu Dao, it will be dark.

Thinking of these Qiao Ren's precautions against Guan Yu, he disagreed, in history, Lu Meng was able to cross the river in white clothes to defeat Guan Yu, and now he can, the only thing to worry about is Xu Shu, Qiao Ren has already received information, Pang Tong drank the poisonous wine of the Zhang family, although he was not poisoned, but he was seriously ill and a little confused. Fa Zheng doesn't have a few years to live anyway, if Xu Shu is removed again, then Liu Bei's minions will be broken, Liu Bei, who does not have a first-class military division, is not Qiao Ren belittling him, he is not even a second-rate general. As for Zhuge Liang, Qiao Ren said that he is not a military type, at least not a tactical type, Zhuge Liang is too correct in using soldiers, it is difficult to achieve great achievements like Zhao Yun, and it is no wonder that Zhuge Liang loves Brother Zhao Yun so much in history, and the similar style of using soldiers is also a factor.

"By the way, how about the Wuxi Barbarians?" Sun Ce's small actions towards Guan Yu were just like playing at home, and he didn't pay attention to a word at all.

Sun Ce asked definitely not about the surrender of the Wuxi barbarians, Qiao Ren's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "The best source of soldiers!" Shamoke is good at martial arts, and he is also good at commanding troops. Moreover, this person is a Han official, and only the lord can give him a formal official position in the world. Of course, Cao Cao can also give him an official, but Shamoke is not stupid, and he will never take a Cao Cao's official position and be caught in the middle by Sun Liu.

"Hmm!" Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction. Later generations have criticized the soldiers in the Jiangnan area, but in fact, it is not that there are no elite soldiers in the Jiangnan area, on the contrary, there are many good soldiers in the Jiangnan area, Danyang soldiers, Jingchu warriors and Changsha soldiers, all of which are famous. Jingchu warriors originated from the old Chu lineage, many swordsmanship and crossbow arrows make good, in the Han Dynasty is also an elite source of soldiers, Li Ling's five thousand warriors have half from the Jingxiang region, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu's ace troops are also from Jingchu, most of the Yue family soldiers on the occasion of the two Song Dynasty are also Jingchu warriors, this one's source of soldiers is the best, but now most of the land of Jingxiang is in the hands of Cao Cao. The second is the soldiers of Changsha County, Changsha of the Han Dynasty covers almost the entire Hunan region, the people here are fierce, not afraid of death, and it is also the best source of soldiers, Sun Jian's soldiers who are rampant in the world are mostly Changsha County soldiers, but the soldiers of Changsha County have a weakness, that is, the blood is too strong, which is not conducive to discipline, and they also pick the main general, if it is not for the people who are excellent in martial arts, it is difficult to dominate this group of Xiangxiang men. Finally, there are Danyang soldiers, Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, and the Danyang soldiers in the Three Kingdoms period are synonymous with the strongest infantry. Most of the Danyang soldiers are Han people who live together with the Yue people and the Han Yue, and the folk customs are also strong, but the foundation is too poor, there is no discipline and no quality, it is difficult to form a military formation, although the charge is very powerful but the lethality is not too strong, and it takes a lot of time to train.

Even if it is a square-eyed Han, these three places are also first-class soldiers, but unfortunately they are all infantry, plus the science and technology of the Eastern Wu regime in history is not leading, and it is even said that there is still a certain gap from the Central Plains, coupled with Sun Quan's command mistakes, which made it difficult for the Sun Wu regime in Jiangdong to break through the southern defense line of Cao Wei and Huai.

Now, in addition to these three sources of troops, coupled with the elite of mountain warfare of the Wuxi Barbarians, although it is not a trump card for Sun Ce, it is better than nothing.
