Chapter 1055: The Three Governors of Kanto

Lu Kang said to the generals: "Now Shu is strong, the momentum of swallowing Jin is unstoppable, the defeat of Jin is a foregone conclusion, although the survival of Jin has no relationship with us, but once the situation of the Three Kingdoms is broken, with the strength of Shu, it is difficult for Wu to survive." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoTherefore, we must not watch the fire from the other side, thinking that it is none of our business, so we can stay out of the matter, and we must take action to curb the rise of Shu. ā€

Xue Ying, the governor of Wuchang, said: "It is true that the governor of Shu was a state, and it was broken by Wei and almost perished, but in ten years, it can be resurrected and sit on half of the country, which is really unpredictable. However, now with the strength of Shu, the Jin State is still invincible, and I am afraid that we will not be able to deal with it. ā€

Lu Kang said: "Yes, our strength alone is not enough to compete with Shu, now although the Jin State is about to die, but still has Si Yuqing, Yanxu and other states, now Shu is determined to win Luoyang, if we send troops to fight for Luoyang, it is tantamount to grabbing food, this plan is not enough." Luoyang is not available, but we can retreat to the next best, if we can make the best use of the land of Kanto, the harvest is also very rich. ā€

The name Kanto has different meanings in different periods, during the Qin and Autumn Warring States periods, the Qin State occupied Guanzhong, bounded by Hangu Pass, and the east of Hangu Pass is the land of Kanto, including Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan; In the Three Kingdoms era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land of Kanto specifically refers to the east of the Tiger Prison Pass, when the princes led by Yuan Shao raised troops to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and they were known as the "Princes of the Eighteen Roads of Kanto"; In the Ming Dynasty, Kanto specifically refers to the east of Shanhaiguan, which is the three northeastern provinces.

Now the Kanto mentioned by Lu Kang naturally refers to the area east of Hugao Pass, including the vast area of Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Chongzhou, Xuzhou and Huainan. The Jin State had three governors in the eastern part of the country, Chen Qian, the governor of Yuzhou, the land of Yuzhou, Ma Long, the governor of Qingzhou, the land of Yanzhou, and the governor of Yangzhou, Shibao, the land of Huainan, Xuzhou.

Now the main force of the Shu army is all concentrated around Luoyang, only Liu Yin commanded an army of 200,000, the north bank of the Yellow River, forming a strong attack on Luoyang, as long as the Shu army crosses the Yellow River, Luoyang is in the bag.

What makes Lu Kang more puzzled is that it is more than enough to have Liu Yin's army to take Luoyang, but Jiang Wei suddenly waved his army north at this moment to attack Luoyang, and it is good to attack from the north and south, but to deal with Sima Jin, who is already at the end of the road, this move seems to be suspected of adding to the snake.

If Lu Kang is allowed to choose, then he would rather destroy Du Yu in Nanyang first, and then move his army east into Yuzhou, which can not only suppress the possibility of the enemy in Yuzhou to reinforce Luoyang, but also expand the results of the war, lead the war to the Kwantung region of the Jin State, and completely eliminate the remnants of the Jin State.

But now the 300,000 troops of Shu are besieging a Luoyang city, which undoubtedly gives Lu Kang a chance to enter the Kanto region, which is like cutting a cake, although Shu has taken the most delicious piece, but Wu has the opportunity to get the largest piece.

Thinking of this, Lu Kang smiled slightly, it seems that the interior of Shu is not the kind of harmony that people imagine, as long as it is a person, he can't escape the word fame and fortune, and it is human instinct to strive for fame and fortune.

It seems that the internal disputes in Shu have made Lu Kang the biggest profiteer, and Lu Kang must seize this opportunity in any case, so as to change himself and change the fate of Wu.

In the era of Emperor Sun Quan, Dongwu wanted to expand his territory to the north more than once, from boating on the Yangtze River to drinking the Yellow River, but unfortunately, Sun Quan went out again and again, but repeatedly returned with feathers, not to mention drinking the Yellow River, even drinking the Huai River has become a luxury, for many years, the Yangtze River is like a fence, not only blocking the heart of Cao Wei in the north to swallow the south, but also blocking the dream of the northward expansion of Eastern Wu.

It wasn't until the death of Wei and Jin Xing that Eastern Wu slightly broke through the shackles of this layer, and Lu Kang led the army to break through Yiyang, and the Wu people could finally taste the water of the Huai River.

But Yiyang is a small place after all, Lu Kang has never been complacent about this, his gaze, his ambition, is by no means limited to Yiyang, there is a chance, Lu Kang has always wanted to win the world.

It's a pity that for a long time, Lu Kang had no chance to take even a small step, and Wu's army, stopping at the Huai River and the Central Plains, became an unattainable goal for Lu Kang.

Now the opportunity is once again in front of Lu Kang, how can Lu Kang let it flow away in vain.

"However, Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Ma Long are all powerful figures, and they are by no means easy to deal with, I don't know what the governor can do?" Zhu Wan, the general of Zhendong, is more rational, and has dealt with the Jin army for many years, just one Yuzhou governor Chen Qian, is enough for Wu Jun to drink a pot, if you want to swallow the three governors in one go, it is simply unheard of.

Lu Kang smiled slightly: "At this time, at that time, in the past, our army and Chen Qian fought in Huaishang, and there were victories and defeats for each other, and no one could help anyone, but because Chen Qian had the support of the Jin court behind him, and now the entire Jin regime has fallen apart, and the three governors of Kwantung have lost the support of the Jin court, they are like rootless wanderers, whether it is momentum or strength, they can no longer be the same." The Kwantung armies are left with only three ways to choose.

"One is to surrender to Shu. I believe that the vast majority of Kwantung soldiers are unwilling, and after fighting with Shu for so many years, they are suddenly regarded as prisoners and prisoners, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to the vast majority of Jin soldiers; The second is to support the army and stand on its own feet. It's not impossible to be self-reliant, but the three governors of Kanto lack sufficient prestige and qualifications, and in this stormy time, self-reliance means making enemies on all sides and destroying themselves.

"The first two roads don't work, and in front of the people of the Kwantung region, there is only the last way left, surrender to the state of Wu. As long as we show enough sincerity to lure them to their advantage, we are not afraid that Chen Qian and others will not comply. ā€

Lijie Zhonglang General Sun Zundao: "It turns out that the governor is ready to outwit, but I don't know how much price I have to pay to recruit these three people?" ā€

Lu Kang said: "Shu has a tradition of non-Liu Buwang, presumably this time will definitely not make an exception for Chen Qian Shibao and others, as long as we are willing to give them what they want, it will not be difficult to recruit the three of them." ā€

Sun Zundao: "If the three people are crowned kings, Your Majesty may not agree?" Even if His Majesty agrees, then the request to Jianye, back and forth, will be within a month, I'm afraid it's too late. ā€
