In the fourth year of Jian'an, October 15.

The imperial court envoy visited Anhui City, and officially awarded Wang Chong as the general of Zhengdong and the leader of Yangzhou, and Gan Ning, the governor of Jinfan, took over Wang Chong's original position and served as the general of Annan and the post of Huainan Taishou.

At the same time, Lejin's family was also safely delivered to Wancheng.

The next day, according to the agreement, Wang Chong completed the handover of 100,000 stones of grain and grass under the border between Huainan and Runan, that is, Zhou Tai's hometown and Cao Jun.

Three days later, Yuan Shao, who learned of the incident, sent an envoy to Huainan to scold Wang Chong for being abusive, ignorant of current affairs, Wang Chong was angry, and ordered someone to make a mess of sticks in the future. I have the ability to destroy Cao Cao to attack my Huainan!

The fourth year of Jian'an, December.

Yuan Shao selected 100,000 elite infantry and 10,000 iron cavalry to actively prepare for war, and wanted to go south to capture Xudu, Cao Cao immediately reacted and led 50,000 troops to the north to Guandu.

In this battle, Cao Cao's 50,000 troops have basically been exhausted, and Yuan Shao sits on the land of Sizhou, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and the soldiers and horses dispatched this time are obviously less than half of the total number of soldiers, but in Yuan Shao's opinion, the 110,000 army alone is enough to defeat Cao Cao and capture Xu Du in one go.

Jian'an five years, the first month.

When the Cloth and Belt Edict Incident broke out, Cao Cao lit up the butcher's knife, and the general Dong Cheng, the commander of Changshui, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, and Dong Cheng's daughter Dong Guifei were all killed by Cao Cao.

Liu Bei, who was also a participant, was frightened, and simply did not do anything, directly killed Xuzhou Assassin Shi Chexuan, and forcibly occupied Xuzhou, because Liu Bei had been a pastor in Xuzhou and had a very high reputation in Xuzhou, so Changfeng in the East China Sea and the rest of the counties and counties were mostly from Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei's troops instantly expanded to more than 30,000, so Liu Bei joined Yuan Shao in the north, intending to send troops to attack Cao Cao with him.

Cao Cao was furious, and in order to prevent Yuan Shao and Liu Bei from being attacked from both sides during the war, he immediately sent Shi Liu Dai, the governor of Sikong Prefecture (not the same person as Liu Dai and Liu Gongshan, the assassin of Yanzhou, and the old man had died seven or eight years ago) and Zhonglang to enter Xuzhou, but was repelled by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at Xiapi.

Cao Cao sighed gloomily when he heard the news, and the strategist Dong Zhao proposed to ask Wang Chong to send troops to deal with Liu Bei, but Cao Cao explicitly refused, what kind of joke? If Xuzhou is occupied by that little fox leader, can you still expect him to let him out afterwards?

In the end, Cao Cao decided to take advantage of Liu Bei's unstable foothold, personally sent troops to levy, and the ministers were all persuaded, lest as soon as Cao Cao left, Yuan Shao would go south to attack Xudu, but Cao Cao was confident about this: "Liu Bei, a masterpiece, if you don't fight today, there will be trouble, although Yuan Shao has great ambitions, and when he sees things late, he will not move!" ”

Facts have proved that Yuan Shao is indeed a fool with little courage, and the strategist Tian Feng suggested 'raising an army to attack him', but Yuan Shao refused to adopt it on the grounds that his young son was sick, and as a result, Cao Cao broke Liu Bei with lightning speed, Guan Yu and Liu Bei's family were captured by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei himself took Zhang Fei and the remnants of the party to the north to vote for Yuan Shao.

It wasn't until Cao Cao re-led the troops back to Guandu that Yuan Shao realized it afterwards and asked Chen Lin to write an essay detailing Cao Cao's crimes, but who wanted to cure Cao Cao's headwind.

In February, Yuan Shao finally led his army south to Liyang, intending to cross the river to fight Cao Cao for a decisive battle.

Yuan Shao first took Yan Liang as the vanguard and attacked Liu Yan, the Taishou of Dongjun in Baima, in an attempt to seize the stronghold on the south bank and prepare for the army to cross the river, but he was hit by Xun You's plan to attack the east and the west to divide the troops Yanjin, so that Yan Liang was lured by the red rabbit horse and temporarily surrendered to Cao Cao's Guan Yu in Baima.

After relieving the siege of White Horse, Cao Cao withdrew his troops and returned to Guandu, and Yuan Shao ordered Wen Chou to cross the river to pursue, but he fell into Cao Cao's plan again, and even lost his life with Wen Chou.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou were both generals of the Yuan army, and now they were beheaded in a battle, which caused a great setback to the morale of the Yuan army.

In April, Wang Chong, who had been quietly recuperating in Huainan and watching the tiger fight, finally waited for his good news.

On this day, Wang Chong was reviewing the official documents in the General's Mansion, but Jia Xu suddenly broke in and said, "My lord, good news, Sun Ce has died in the Dantu a few days ago!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Chong's spirit was shocked and asked, "Our people did it?" ”

"It's not!" Jia Xu shook his head and said, "The news reported by the dark department is that the person who shot it should be an assassin under Xu Gongmen!" ”

After more than half a year of hard work, the dark department in charge of Jia Xu has begun to take shape, and the network has spread all over Jiangdong, but most of them only tend to be superficial, and there is no way to break into the interior of Jiangdong's key officials for the time being, but even so, Jiangdong has no big moves, basically can't escape the eyes and ears of the dark department, for example, this time Sun Ce's death, the news has not been leaked for the time being, but the dark department has already obtained information in advance.

These days, Wang Chong has been sending people to monitor every move of Wuhou Mansion, although there have been a few times in the middle of the not very good opportunities, but in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, Wang Chong has never dared to let the dark subordinates start, but who wants to end up, but it was preempted by Xu Gongmenke.

In this regard, Wang Chong could only sigh with emotion: "It seems that the trajectory of history is really not so easy to change!" ”

But no matter what, Sun Ce's death is a great thing for Jinfan: "Sun Ce gave up his position to Sun Quan, right?" ”

Jia Xu was taken aback: "How does the lord know?" ”

Wang Chong smiled and said: "Jiangdong is unstable today, and his son is young, why is he in charge of Jiangdong?" ”

Jia Xu said: "His third brother Sun Yi is quite a father and brother, why did the lord expect that Sun Ce would be passed on to Sun Quan?" ”

Wang Chong said: "Sun Ce's domineering has already caused the dissatisfaction of the Jiangdong family, Sun Ce knows that once he dies, Jiangdong will inevitably be panicked, only by letting Sun Quan, who is quite friendly with the Jiangdong family, succeed to the throne, can the situation be stabilized as soon as possible, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, Wenhe, you should know what to do, right?" ”

Jia Xu understood and said with a smile: "Does the lord want Xu to spread rumors unfavorable to Sun Quan in Jiangdong?" ”

Wang Chong nodded and sneered: "Ah, I want to let everyone in Jiangdong know within a few days that Sun Quan's evil deeds of killing murderers and seizing the throne!" ”

"No!"

"Also, have you been in touch with Yamagoe?"

"Don't worry, the lord is just waiting for me Jinfan to send troops to Jiangdong, and the mountains and mountains in Huiji will raise troops one after another to raise anti-flags in response to the lord!"

"That's fine, pass the order, the whole army is ready to fight, just wait for the time to come, and immediately send troops to Jiangdong!" Wang Chong's eyes flashed with excitement and scorching light, "Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are fighting fiercely in the north, and our south has been calm for too long, and it is time for the war to be rekindled......"
