Lujiang, Shu County.

The black clouds are overpowering, the heavy rain is about to fall, but there is a crisp sound of gold and iron in the backyard of Yangzhou Thorn Mansion, and there is a faint sound of shouting in the middle. Sun Jing slammed open the courtyard door with a panicked expression, stumbled into the backyard, and looked up to see that the young and weak Sun Quan (Sun Quan's age is inflated in this book) was fighting a young man about fifteen years old.

The two exchanged knives and guns, and a fierce battle was in full swing.

"Zhongmou, Tong'er!" Sun Jing ran to the side of the battle group, hid his face and cried bitterly, "Don't practice martial arts yet, go to the front hall to see your father for the last time." ”

"Huh? Father! ”

Hearing this, Sun Quan hurriedly abandoned the knife to the ground, raised his head to the sky and ran away with a long howl.

"Uncle." Ling Tong, who was only fifteen years old, stepped forward and asked Sun Jingdao, "Didn't my father-in-law lead the army to conquer Jiangdu, when did you return to Lujiang again?" ”

Ling Tong was originally the only son of Ling Dang, when the princes of the Twenty-three Roads begged for horses, Ling Gang died in a battle in Xingyang, Sun Jian remembered that Ling Tong was young and lost his stagnation, so he accepted it as a righteous son, and Sun Quan, Sun Xu, Sun Kuang and the sons of the same bed, eat and sleep together, like brothers, and let Jiangdong Meng Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, etc. teach martial arts, and let Xu Shu, Zhou Yu and other teach Tao Strategy.

"Ugh." Sun Jing sighed, touched Ling Tong's head, and said gloomily, "Tong'er, go to the front hall." ”

The front hall of the Assassin's Mansion was already in mourning at this time.

Sun Jian was wearing a fiery red armor, covered in blood, and still maintained the appearance of being rescued by Tai Shici, and even the three feather arrows on his back only cut off their rods, and did not take out the arrow clusters, in fact, the soldiers did not dare to take out the arrow clusters, because once this arrow cluster was taken out, Sun Jian's internal organs were congested and he was afraid that he would lose his breath in an instant.

"Father!"

Sun Quan rushed into the front hall, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of Sun Jian, who was bloody, on the soft couch in the middle, and knelt on the ground, kneeled in front of Sun Jian's couch, and howled on the soft couch.

Sun Jian stretched out his hands with difficulty and groped: "Zhong...... Where is Zhongmou? ”

Sun Quan hurriedly stepped forward to hold Sun Jian's hands, and said miserably: "Father, the child is here." ”

A piece of blood foamed from the corner of Sun Jian's mouth, and he gasped: "Zhongmou, this Jiang ...... Koto, Lonely ...... Alone...... Over to you, you're going to be ......."

Before Sun Jian's words were finished, the look in his eyes gradually became dim, and black blood slid down the corners of his mouth, and then his head tilted, and he died of anger.

"Father!"

Sun Quan screamed and fainted in front of Sun Jian's couch.

……

Luoyang.

It was the scorching heat of June, the heat in Luoyang City, and when Ma Yue was taking refuge in the Chengxiao Mountain Courtyard, Jia Xu, Li Su, and Fa Zhenghu came to visit.

Li Su took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Lord, I just got the news that Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian is dead. ”

"Oh, Sun Jian is dead?" Ma Yue hurriedly asked, "How did you die?" ”

Fa Zheng said: "Sun Jian led a large army to attack Jiangduke, but was shot by Chen Deng, the Taishou of Guangling!" ”

"Huh? Shot by Guangling Taishou Chen Deng! Ma Yue was taken aback when he heard this, and lost his voice, "What kind of character is this Chen Deng?" can actually design to shoot Sun Jian, isn't it better than Xu Shu? ”

Jia Xu said: "This Chen Deng is the son of Chen Gui, a famous man in Xuzhou, who has the style of a national warrior, and can be called a great talent, especially good at guarding the city!" A character indeed. ”

"Ugh." Ma Yue looked up to the sky and sighed, "Isn't it a pity that such a character can't be used by Lonely?" ”

"My lord." A sly smile suddenly flashed across Jia Xu's face, and he proposed, "I heard that every time the Chen family and his son regard themselves as loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, why don't the lord issue an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven and move Chen Deng to Nanyang Taishou?" ”

"Well, move Chen Deng to Nanyang Taishou?" Ma Yue said, "Is this plan really feasible?" ”

Jia Xu said: "** Do not leave ten ears. ”

"Good!" Ma Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "If Chen Deng guards Nanyang, you can sit back and relax." ”

Fa Zhengdao: "My lord, I also have a plan below, which is called to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, or it can cut off Sun Quan and pacify Jiangdong without much effort." ”

"Oh." Ma Yue said happily, "Will the plan be released?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Sun Jian is dead, although the eldest son Sun Ce is quite brave, but unfortunately he died before Sun Jian in the battle of Qingniu Pass, and the second son Sun Quan is only a weak crown, and his prestige is far from enough to be compared with his father and brother, and it may be difficult to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong in a hurry!" The lord only needs to send a debater to Puyang, and he will be tempted to send troops to Yuan Shao. ”

"Well, good plan!" Ma Yue said, "As long as Yuan Shao sends troops, even if he can't cut off Sun Quan and pacify Jiangdong, at least he can make Jiangdong Sun's strength suffer a big loss, and he won't be able to turn over within a few years, okay, then I will have to go to Puyang with my troubles." ”

Li Su said happily: "Su dares to disobey his fate." ”

Ma Yue paused, and then said: "Although the wheat harvest in the spring is poor, but the next autumn grain seems to be a rare harvest year, I think that the battle of Shu can start preparations in advance, the so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, the preparation of military food is important, but the candidate for the leading general is particularly important, I don't know if the three can have a suitable candidate?" ”

Li Su and Fa Zheng's eyes turned to Jia Xu at the same time, on such a major issue as the appointment and dismissal of the coach, the two of them thought that they did not have the right to make suggestions in front of Ma Yue, and only Jia Xu was qualified to answer among the three.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and replied: "General Gao Shun is still not strange, he can lead the army to attack Jiameng Pass head-on, the young general is the best candidate for the commander of the surprise attack, and his reputation and prestige are enough to shock the Sichuan sergeant clan, but unfortunately he has already led the troops to the Western Regions, so the commander of this surprise attack is not enough to be competent!" ”

"What!?" Li Su was taken aback when he heard this, and for the first time since he joined Ma Yue, he jumped out to refute Jia Xu's opinion, and said loudly, "The military advisor's words are wrong, and the main public security is in great danger, how can you take risks lightly?" This is too risky, the lord must not listen to the words of the military advisor, otherwise there may be endless disasters. ”

A knowing smile flashed across Fa Zheng's face, and he said to Li Su: "Brother Ziyan, why don't you listen to the military advisor finish speaking?" ”

"Oh?" Li Su seemed to have an understanding and said, "What does the military advisor mean? ”

"Hahaha." Jia Xu said with a smile, "What I mean below is that if the lord is not in person, it is not enough to shock the Sichuan sergeant clan, and I didn't say that I really let the lord personally lead the army to Xichuan." ”

"Understood." Li Su said suddenly, "It turned out that the Lord Qiao made up the army to go, whew, what a false alarm." ”

Jia Xu and Fa Zheng looked at each other.

Ma Yue said: "Wenhe, you haven't said the choice of the coach yet." ”

Jia Xu said: "There is no shortage of generals under the main account, the major general Ma Chao below, Fang Yue, Xu Huang, Gan Ning can all fight well, enough to lead an army, but the battle of Shu is not trivial, the road from the Yinping Trail into Shu is difficult and difficult, after entering Shu, it is a lonely army to go deep, enemies on all sides, the decision of the leading general will be directly related to the success or failure of the battle of Shu, not to be careful." ”

Ma Yue said: "Go on." ”

Jia Xu said: "General Fang Yue has more than enough strength but insufficient opportunity, General Xu Huang is like a rock but lacks sharpness, only General Gan Ning is both wise and brave, and he is a native of Linjiang, familiar with the geography of Sichuan, and there is no shortage of soldiers in Sichuan under his command. ”

……

Puyang.

Since the Son of Heaven divided Yuan Shao's three sons and nephews, Yuan Shao moved his general's mansion from Yecheng, Hebei Province to Puyang, south of the Yellow River, to show his determination to chase Lu Xu and Yang.

In the hall, Li Suzheng talked eloquently: "Now Sun Jian died in battle, Jiangdong shook, the eldest Sun Ce died early, the second son Sun Quan, the third Sun Yi, and the fourth Sun Kuang are all young and difficult to take on the big responsibility, the Jiangdong ministers are all for their own personal interests, and the disputes are endless, the counties and mountains are rebelling, burning and looting, and the hearts of the scholars in various places are floating, building docks and defending themselves, all of which are different and so on. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Shao was greatly moved when he heard this, and let Li Su say this, it was really a good time to crusade against Jiangdong.

The strategist hurriedly came out and persuaded: "The lord can't. ”

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Why not?" ”

The judge said: "Although Sun Jian is dead, Xu Shu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhou Yu are all immortal ministers!" ”

Feng Ji said: "They are either good at strategy, or good governance, or good at governing the army, they are the best in the world, and they should not be underestimated!" Although there is chaos in the counties of Yangzhou, it will be pacified soon, and the Shanyue rebellion is finally a disease of mustard moss, which is not enough to cause trouble, and there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in Jiangdong, and there is no water army under the main account, how to cross the river to attack? If the lord listens to Li Su's words, he is afraid that he will bring disaster upon himself, and the time of destruction is not far away. ”

Yuan Shao had no plan, and when he heard this, he hesitated, and hesitated: "This ......"

Li Su rolled his eyes and sneered: "Xu Shu's wisdom is unparalleled in the world, but the battle of Jiangdu ended Sun Jian's life; Zhang Zhao's internal affairs are unparalleled, but the four counties of Jiangdong under his rule are full of bandits and natural disasters; Zhou Yu's army was unsurpassed in the world, and nearly 10,000 Wu army elites were killed by my young general's 800 iron cavalry, not only Sun Ce was killed in battle, but Zhou Yu himself was seriously injured! ”

"Such an immortal capable minister is rare in ancient and modern times."

Judgement and discipline are speechless.

Li Su turned around and said loudly: "It's not a secret, the prime minister originally intended to personally unify the army to crusade against Jiangdong, but Yangzhou is the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, if the prime minister rashly leads the army to the crusade, it will avoid hurting the harmony of the two families, and now since the Duke of Wei has no intention of crusading, he can return to Luoyang to return to the prime minister, and the prime minister is not expected to say that he will lead the army south to crusade against Jiangdong." ”

With that, Li Su gave Yuan Shao a long bow and turned around to leave.

"Wait." Yuan Shao hurriedly said, "Mr. Li Su, stay here." ”

Li Su said: "What does Duke Wei have to say? ”

Yuan Shao said categorically: "Please go to the prime minister, and if you don't say anything, you will raise troops to the south and crusade against Jiangdong!" ”

……

Lujiang, Thorn History.

In the backyard pavilion, Sun Quanzheng, who was wearing heavy filial piety, was sitting across the case with Xu Shu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhou Yu.

After half a year of recuperation, Zhou Yu's body has fully recovered, and he was about to lead the navy to Jiangdu to help the war, but the bad news suddenly came, Sun Jian actually died in a battle!

Xu Shu unfolded a scroll of books, and read in a heavy tone: "Huiji Taishou Quan Rou urgent report, Jiaozhou Shijia is encroaching on the counties south of Huiji, Yuzhang is too shou Lu Fan is in a hurry, Haiduan Shanyue (one of the many Shanyue) is wrapped in tens of thousands, looting the surrounding counties, the thieves are huge, please ask the lord to quickly deploy troops to suppress it." ”

"It doesn't stop there." Sun Quan raised the secret letter in his hand, looked around at the three of them and said, "Uncle (Sun Jian's wife and brother Wu Jing, Huainan Yin) just sent a secret letter, Yuan Shao is continuously increasing troops to the Huainan border, and a large amount of grain and grass is also being transported from the north to Liang State and Qian County, it seems that I am afraid that I am going to do something to Huainan." ”

Zhang Zhao sighed and said: "The internal strife has not been settled, and the external troubles have risen again, how should it be good, how should it be good?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord." Zhou Yu's slightly locked brows suddenly expanded, and he said casually, "Yu thinks that the situation is far from being out of control, and it is better to take the initiative to send troops at this time than to trap Jiangdong." ”

"Take the initiative to send troops?"

Xu Shu's face changed slightly, thoughtful.

Zhang Zhao simply suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and cross-examined: "The so-called army has not moved, grain and grass go first, and now the counties in Jiangdong are poor, how can grain and grass support the army to go out?" Moreover, when the army is out on the march, what can be used to defend Huainan and Lujiang, is it really allowed to allow Yuan Shao's army to attack Jiangdong? ”

"Yuan Shao?" Zhou Yu said suddenly, "Yuan Shao is just a fat pig raised by a horse butcher, our army only needs to send troops to take Guangling, capture Chen Deng to avenge the lord, even if he is scared, he can scare Yuan Shao back, and there is no need to mobilize a soldier to guard against Yuan Shao." ”

"Easy to say." Zhang Zhao said disapprerovingly, "The lord-in-law led an army of 30,000 to storm Jiangdu for several months, but they have not been able to capture, I don't know what good strategy Gongjin can have to capture Jiangdu and capture Chen Deng?" Ask Gongjin again, how many troops are you going to mobilize to attack Jiangdu, and where will you mobilize grain and grass from? ”

Zhou Yu said loudly: "Yu only needs 3,000 elite soldiers to break through Jiangdu and capture Chen Deng!" ”

Zhang Zhao said in a speech: "Ah, three...... Three thousand elite soldiers!? ”

Sun Quan also changed color slightly.

Xu Shu's face was a little unbearable, Xu Shu assisted Sun Jian to storm Jiangdu with an army of 30,000 for more than three months, and they all returned under Chen Deng's counterattack, and finally lost Sun Jian's surname, but Zhou Yu said that he only needed 3,000 elite soldiers to capture Jiangdu and capture Chen Deng, which was tantamount to a slap in Xu Shu's face.

Zhou Yu obviously saw the change in Xu Shu's psychology, and explained with a smile at him: "Yu does not mean to despise the military advisor, nor is he pretending to be arrogant, the military advisor is wise, no one in the world can match it, Yu has always admired it, and the reason why Jin Yu said that only 3,000 elite soldiers can capture Jiangdu is for another reason." ”

Xu Shu said: "I want to hear about it." ”

Zhou Yu said: "The new defeat of our army and the death of the first lord in battle is the time when morale is low and the three armies are grieving, and the chaos in the counties of Jiangdong is chaotic, it is the time when he is too busy to take care of himself, Chen Deng never expected that our army would attack Jiangdu at this time, one of them; The first lord died in battle, and the soldiers of the three armies were eager for revenge. Our army stormed Jiangdu for more than three months, although it was not overcome, but the city of Jiangdu collapsed, the materials were exhausted, and it was urgent to make up for it. The defenders of Jiangdu have been trapped for a long time, and they have been extremely tired, and if they suddenly relax, the army will be slack, and the soldiers will have no fighting spirit. With these four, why worry about Jiang and Chen Deng? ”

Xu Shu was shocked.

Sun Quan took the case and said sharply: "Lone Dang and Gong Jin discuss Chen Deng together, and avenge the shame of his father!" ”

Zhou Yu and Xu Shu bowed their heads slightly.

Obviously, Sun Quan's words were not a whim, but a decision made after careful consideration, Sun Quan is far inferior to his brother Sun Ce in terms of martial arts, and Sun Quan cannot be compared with his father Sun Jian in terms of prestige, if it were not for his father and brother Yu Wei, Sun Quan would not be able to become the lord of Jiangdong at all!

But the remnants of his father and brother can only help Sun Quan for a while, but not for a lifetime.

How to establish his prestige next, it all depends on Sun Quan himself, so Sun Quan wants to establish his prestige in the army by fighting against Chen Deng! Sun Jian led an army of 30,000 to storm Jiangdu for more than three months, and if Sun Quan could really capture Jiangdu with 3,000 elite soldiers, how would the Jiangdong Shi clan and the soldiers of the three armies view Sun Quan?

Don't look at Sun Quan's youth, this kid's mind is deep.

Zhang Zhao didn't know what Sun Quan was thinking, and hurriedly persuaded: "The so-called overthrow of the car in front and the lesson of the car in the back, the first lord has died in the battle of Jiangdu, and the lord must not take the risk lightly." ”

Sun Quan said categorically: "The decision has been made, Zibuxiu wants to say more." ”
