In 198, following the fall of the Lujiang River in mid-February, most of Yuzhang County also fell into the hands of the Tianci army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is worth mentioning that Lu Bu, who has disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared under Sun Jian! This is an incredible thing, you know, in the past, Lu Bu couldn't escape, but he went to Shuzhong to serve Liu Xuan, but now why did he appear in Sun Jian's army again?

It is also strange to say, when Sun Jian, the tiger, encounters Lu Bu, a lone wolf, it is inevitable that there will be itchy hands, of course, Sun Jian can only reluctantly fight against Lu Bu, it is impossible to defeat Lu Bu, but even if he is reluctant to fight the enemy, it also makes Lu Bu look at Sun Jian with admiration.

Especially when Sun Ce and Sun Jian joined forces, they completely suppressed Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu suddenly had a trace of interest in Sun, although in Lu Bu's heart it was said that chasing power was also a very beautiful thing, but his dedication to martial arts made Lu Bu even more crazy. As a result, the matter of going to Yizhou was dragged down.

Back then, Sun Ce was ordered to go to the Sword Pavilion to sit in town, and there were no big men of sufficient weight in the Tianxi battlefield, and Lu Bu volunteered to be brave and take on this responsibility. What Lu Bu likes is the feeling of fighting on the battlefield, no matter who the opponent is, and the foreign races on the Tianxi battlefield are all foreign barbarians, Lu Bu is even more ruthless in killing, in just a few years, Lu Bu has won the name of the supreme demon king in the land of Tianxi, everything that Lu Bu's army points to, can be said to be unbreakable!

The reason why Lu Bu appeared in front of the world again this time was entirely because Sun Jian took the initiative to invite Liu Tai to play, hoping that Liu Tai could add Lu Bu and commend Lu Bu's achievements in the Tianxi battlefield. In any case, if you have established a prestige in Tianxi, it is equivalent to growing face for my Han nationality, which always has to be praised, right?

And Liu Tai is the most suitable complier!

For Lu Bu, Liu Tai was really entangled, Liu Tai was eager to chop Lu Bu into minced meat, but Lu Bu, this kid, escaped faster than a rabbit, so that Liu Tai had no way at all, and when he heard the news of Lu Bu again, Lu Bu turned into a national hero of the Han Dynasty

This is not without fun!

Of course, even if he doesn't want to, Lu Bu's heroism on the Tianxi battlefield does promote the power of Huaxia, which makes Liu Tai very satisfied, and now that the unification is imminent, Liu Tai also wants to ease the relationship between the gate lord clan a little, so he also added Lu Bu as the lone wolf god general from Sun Jian's meaning, and the clumsy marquis of a thousand households!

Over the years, the relationship between Liu Tai and the gate valve clan has become more and more territorial, even in some of the gate valve merchants in Liu Tai's land, it is a little awkward with the government, although Liu Tai has repeatedly relaxed the policy, but Liu Tai's bloodbath in the Central Plains gate valve really scared everyone.

In a short period of time, it is not easy for Liu Tai to ease this relationship.

The reward is not big, and there is nothing about the actual surname, but you must know that Lu Bu was on the death list in Northern Xinjiang in the past, but this sealing suddenly made Lu Bu an orthodox general of the Han Dynasty, and even became a marquis.

In fact, Liu Tai didn't mean to settle accounts at all, after all, Liu Tai is also a middle-aged man now, and his thoughts are not as impulsive as they used to be, especially when he sees the prince and the princess under his knees gradually grow up, and the grandeur in his heart has weakened a lot. At this point, Lu Bu has to thank Liu Tai's prince, otherwise, Lu Bu will inevitably die in the future.

In the same month, Sun Ce's army arrived at Yuenan County, and the 100,000 troops pointed directly at the Tianxi battlefield, and Lu Bu, who was hired in the Tianxi battlefield, also led the wolf cavalry retreat in Yuenan to rest. It is reported that when Lu Bu returned to Yuenan County, he brought back countless money and grain, and those beautiful Tianxi treasures were almost piled up in Tianxi's treasury.

And Sun Ce also inherited Sun Jian's bold surname, seeing so many treasures, he didn't blink his eyes at all, and directly "gived" all of them to Lu Bu, and also transferred thousands of elites from the 100,000 army to make up for Lu Bu's lost soldiers and horses, and expanded Lu Bu's wolf cavalry to 15,000.

To be honest, Lu Bu is very grateful to Sun Ce, all along, Lu Bu has served under many masters, but there has never been a force that treats Lu Bu like Sun. You must know that although Lu Bu is still free in name, he is actually a subordinate general under the Sun family!

When Lu Bu fled from Nanyang back then, how many wolf riders were left under his command? After more than ten years of fighting in the south and the north, the old batch of Bingzhou wolf cavalry had already been lost, and now the Bingzhou wolf cavalry has long been a thing, and before going to Tianxi, the Sun family not only helped Lu Bu make up for the food and salary of the soldiers and horses, but also gave Lu Bu countless grain and grass support without the slightest conditions.

There is no one point asking for funding!

Can Lu Bu not be grateful?

Of course, Lu Bu will not do anything to serve, after all, the former Lu Bu is also the master of one party, and the Sun family will not be delusional to get Lu Bu's allegiance, but it is also the best result that the Sun family can get if a character like Lu Bu is grateful.

Although the Sun clan is strong, Lu Bu is an ally worth befriending!

Well, Lu Bu is not suitable to be a subordinate, Sun Jian and even Sun Ce don't want to follow the old path of such and such a character.

After so many years of officialdom experience, Lu Bu has learned how to behave, so when Sun Ce returned all the money, grain, and jewelry to Lu Bu, Lu Bu boldly gave all these belongings to the 100,000 soldiers and 15,000 wolf horsemen brought by Sun Ce.

I didn't leave a little of it!

Others are kind to me, and I am a benefactor!

You know, this batch of treasures is astronomical, if it is sold in northern Xinjiang, it can at least be exchanged for more than a year's worth of grain and grass for a million troops, but it is so much property, Lu Bu can send it out without the slightest pain, it can be seen that Lu Bu is indeed a lot mature! Sun Ce didn't think much about it, if the other princes saw that the soldiers under his command were grateful to the princes who were not his own, they would definitely be very dissatisfied. But Sun Ce's surname Ge is naturally bold, and he doesn't care about these little things at all, and Sun Ce himself is confident in his prestige in the army, so he doesn't care at all, and he is happy for the soldiers!

Sun Ce is indeed a marshal's talent, and he is even better than Zhao Yun!

In the 198th year of Huaxia, at the beginning of March, Sun Ce went west to conquer the Tianxi Kingdoms, and fought the first battle against the Yuebarian Ancient Kingdom, and the Yuebarian Ancient Kingdom could not withstand Sun Ce's expedition of more than 100,000 troops as early as Lu Bu's rage. Originally, the king of the Yue Barbarian Ancient Kingdom thought that Sun Ce would leave after a plunder, but this time it was different, every time Sun Ce captured a city, he would inevitably send troops to occupy the local cities and villages, so the king of the Yue Barbarian Ancient Kingdom suddenly panicked!

Not only the ancient kingdom of Yueman, but some of the surrounding countries were panicked when they learned that Sun Ce occupied the various cities of the ancient kingdom of Yueman, because Sun Ce's move had the intention of completely taking the countries of Tianxi into his hands.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

In less than half a month, the countries of Tianxi formed a small alliance, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger, so the war between the two sides naturally became more and more tragic, but under the leadership of the two super generals, Lu Bu and Sun Ce, the barbarian soldiers were really not enough.

Especially with an unpredictable figure like Zhou Yu behind the two super generals, how can the countries of Tianxi be enemies with them? In just a few years, except for the ancient kingdom of Tianzhu, most of the territory of Tianxi fell into the hands of Lu Bu and Sun Ce, and Lu Bu also announced his reading power in a timely manner and became the super overlord of Tianxi.

The alliance between Lu Bu and the Sun clan has lasted for a long, long time, even if the powerful Kushan Empire and the Tianzhu Ancient Kingdom were almost divided by the two, and the latecomer Yuan Shao completely destroyed the Kushan Empire, of course, all this is a later story, and now Lu Bu and Sun Ce have just stepped into the journey of Tianxi.

In the 198th year of China, in mid-March, the whole county of Yuzhang County in Yangzhou fell and Jiangxia County in Jingzhou fell!

The situation is urgent, the princes, gate lords, and scholars of all parties are like ants on a hot pot, and the offensive of the Tianci army is too terrifying, especially after the elite of Jiangdong evacuated Yizhou and the elite of Jingzhou went to Tianxi, the situation is particularly bad.

Sun Jian and Liu Bei are both old fritters, not to mention Yuan Shao, when the Tianci army went south, they ran far away, so that Liu Tai, who personally led the troops to the battle, smiled bitterly, Liu Tai didn't catch Yuan Shao at the beginning, but he didn't let Yuan Shao go to Tianxi.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao fulfilled Liu Tai's expectations and completely concentrated the forces of the Gate Lords clan, and with the cooperation of Sun Jian and Liu Bei, it can be said that the Third Southern Expedition Battle was completely a big battle between Liu Tai and the Gate Lords!

The reason why Yuzhang County and Jiangxia County fell so quickly is not surprising at all, you must know that at this moment, Jiangxia County, Yuzhang County, and even most of Jing and Yang Prefectures are actually garrisoned by gate lords. And Sun Jian and Liu Bei, the lords of the two states, both escaped faster than monkeys.

Among them, Sun Jian took away all the money and grain in the treasury of Jiangling Mansion early, and handed over all the Nanjun and the surrounding areas of Nanjun to the hands of the gate lords in Jingzhou.

As for the situation in Jiangdong, it is almost a copy of Jingzhou. And Liu Bei did it even more thoroughly, except for a few veterans who stayed behind, the rest of the elites were all taken away from Yangzhou to Yizhou. There is a large area of land waiting for Liu Bei in Yizhou, why hang himself in the half-dead Jiangdong?

Under such circumstances, can the progress of the Heavenly Army not go well? If it weren't for the sweep of the gate lords and warriors in various places, as well as some Jiangyang thieves, perhaps the Tianci Army would have already included Nanjun and even Danyang County, the capital of Jiangdong.

Exaggeration, very exaggerated, originally Liu Tai thought that the Third Southern Expedition would come to a vigorous end of the battle, but since Cao Ying's surrender, the princes' ability to resist has simply decreased geometrically, and even to the extent of self-collapse without a fight.

As a result, Liu Tai gradually lost interest in the Third Southern Expedition, because Liu Tai was more concerned with Hwaseong, why? Because many of Liu Tai's wives and concubines are pregnant at the same time, can Liu Tai, who got the news, not be worried?

It is worth mentioning that in this Southern Expedition, Cao Ying, who was still restricted, became Liu Tai's deputy general, that is, the deputy marshal of the Chinese army, under one person, above 10,000 people. It can be said that most of the things in this battle are planned by Cao Ying, and Liu Tai makes the decision in the end.

In order to ensure Cao Ying's status in the Tianci Army, Liu Tai has appointed Cao Ying as the commander of the legion, and most of the high-level military positions in this legion are Cao Ying's original team, such as Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cheng Yu and other figures in the army.

In fact, with the ability of Xiahoudun and others, they can completely become a general, but they just don't want to, even if they know that this will make Liu Tai dissatisfied, they have to stay under Cao Ying to serve. Of course, there were also some courtiers who abandoned Cao Ying and left with Cao Ying, such as Yang Xiu, Jiang Gan, Wang Zhong, Kong Yu and other lesser-known figures.

If it were other monarchs, they would definitely be very dissatisfied when they encountered Cao Ying's situation, and even secretly used means to dispose of everyone, including Cao Ying, but Liu Tai was not this kind of person, and Liu Tai was very satisfied with this situation, in fact, Liu Tai never thought that Cao Ying could serve for a long time under his hands!

Why? Because Cao Ying's heart is not something that Liu Tai can accept, sooner or later, Cao Ying will leave, and it is Liu Tai who personally facilitates Cao Ying. Earlier, Liu Tai had promised Cao Ying to allow him to hire the West, and even promised him the highest title to be the king!

A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!

In the future, there will definitely be a place for Cao Tai in the West, and the promise given by Liu Tai will definitely be fulfilled, and even if he becomes a king, how can he be Liu Tai's courtier? Therefore, Liu Tai never thought that he really had to subdue Cao Ying, because this is unrealistic and impossible!
