And Sun Ce has now won Huang Zhong and won a big victory in Jingzhou, which can't help but make him a little fluttery.

Huang Zhong saw that Sun Ce sent Liu Pan back to Youxian and sent someone to protect him, and he was even more grateful, so he asked Sun Ce for his life to conquer the southern part of Jingzhou for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was overjoyed, because Huang Zhong was famous in Jingzhou, as long as Huang Zhong went, he was afraid that he would be convinced.

Sun Ce is of course a group of joy, and the generals under him are also proud, but Zhou Yu disagrees.

Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce, he thinks that now is not the time to be happy, first of all, there are countless lakes in Jingzhou, and the rivers have a long history, connecting Bashu and Jiangdong, these rivers are the main roads of their own forces all over Jingzhou, so now it is the one who gets the river to get Jingzhou, the problem is to control the river must have enough ships, and it is impossible for his side to build a lot of ships in a short time, the best way is to control Liu Biao's sailors and warships and equipment in their own hands.

Jiangling is a strategic place in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's thousands of warships, 80,000 sailors and a large number of military supplies are gathered here, so Jiangling can be regarded as a real possession of Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu believes that Jingzhou extends in all directions, and militarily it belongs to "fighting for land", and it can only compete with the enemy, but it cannot be defended, and Jingzhou cannot be defended no matter how it is defended.

If it is in chaos in the world, then you have a chance to breathe and survive in Jingzhou, but now the situation in the world is becoming clearer, there is Xu Ji in the north, and Cao Cao in Jiangdong, these heroes are connected to Jingzhou, and the strength is far stronger than their own, which is really difficult to match.

If you want to really contend with these enemies, you must first treat the symptoms. Then cure the root cause.

First of all, although Jingzhou is "fighting for land". However, it is not a simple sense of "land grabbing", this kind of "land grabbing" is more manifested in the control of river channels.

There was no naval army in Jingzhou. Don't think about anything to dominate Jingzhou. If there is a navy, it is not a problem to march thousands of miles a day in Jingzhou, and it is not a problem to carry out surprise attacks, and the warships are active fortresses, so to speak, the Yangtze River natural danger is equivalent to the Great Wall in the north, and the key point is that the Yangtze River natural danger is naturally formed, not artificial.

Therefore, vigorously developing a naval army in Jingzhou is the most direct way to control Jingzhou in a short period of time, and it is also a way to defend against the enemy in the north and Jiangdong.

This means that as long as the river is controlled, it is necessary to control it. Jingzhou is no longer a "land fight", at least compared to the enemy in the north, Jingzhou is simply impregnable.

However, this was not enough, because the enemy had other ways to turn Jingzhou into a land grab.

The enemy of Jiangdong can be ignored, after all, Jingzhou is in the lower reaches of Jiangdong, and its own side has an advantage over Cao Cao in terms of geographical advantages, and Sun Ce's side can attack Cao Cao at any time downstream.

What's more, Cao Cao's army is mostly northerners, but it can be said that there is no navy, even if it is a trained navy. I'm afraid that I won't be able to win with myself in a short time.

Moreover, in the future, in order to face Xu Ji, a common enemy in the north, the possibility of cooperation between the two sides is still very great.

But the land of Bashu must be guarded against.

If there is a powerful enemy rising in Bashu, it will definitely not be a good thing for oneself, because it means that the other party controls the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Therefore, for the safety of Jingzhou, Bashu will also be the focus of their own strategy. At least Wuxi and Jiaozhou can be controlled in their own hands.

Otherwise, this seemingly glorious victory in front of us is like a castle piled up with sand on the beach, which seems to be incomprehensible. A wave hits, and in a blink of an eye, it will disappear.

Zhou Yu thinks. Although Liu Yan of Yizhou has a heroic talent, he is already old after all. Moreover, there has been a recent trend of the imperial court to conquer Yizhou, and he can take this opportunity to get a piece of the big fat in Yizhou.

Zhou Yu's words shocked Sun Ce, he didn't expect that there was such a big crisis under his own victory.

And Zhou Yu's words made Sun Ce's eyes show an infinitely vast world.

It turns out that the world is so big!

For the first time, Sun Ce realized that he still had a lot to learn.

As a result, Sun Ce ordered Huang Zhong to conquer the southern part of Jingzhou on the one hand, and hastened the conquest of the northern part of Jingzhou on the other.

Jiangxia, Baling, Jiangling, Sun Ce's army is bound to win!

At this time, Zhang Yun's army in Jingzhou had withdrawn, and after seeing Liu Biao, he joined forces with Cai Mao's army, and together with the Jingzhou naval army, began to send troops south to fight Sun Ce to the death.

At the same time, the two sides are also making a big noise.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Sun Cejun declared to the outside world that he "only punished the evil", and he did not disturb the people of Jingzhou at all.

And Liu Biao claimed to the outside world that Sun Ce was a rebel Yuan Shu's minions, and there was a reason to avenge his father, so Sun Ce would definitely slaughter all the people of Jingzhou.

Both sides raised their own banners, which made the people disagree.

However, what the two sides did not expect was that many children of the family who had only settled in Jingzhou for a short time and the children of the local family in Jingzhou began to evacuate Jingzhou one after another.

Their reason is very simple, Liu Biao can't beat Sun Ce, but Sun Ce is Yuan Shu's subordinate after all, Yuan Shu is rebellious, if Sun Ce occupies Jingzhou, they are really unwilling to serve Sun Ce.

After Zhou Yu learned about this, he hurriedly announced to the outside world that Sun Ce was just sheltering with Yuan Shu in his early years, and was not Yuan Shu's general, and after Yuan Shu became emperor, he drew a clear line with Yuan Shu.

What's more, if Yuan Shu hadn't stopped it, the jade seal would have been returned to the imperial court, and the jade seal was snatched by Yuan Shu from Sun Ce.

Of course, the truth of the matter is not like this, but now that the world is in chaos, where is there anyone to distinguish the truth of this matter? Even Yuan Shu was not in the mood.

In this way, some of the influence was saved, and most of the children of the family remained, and these people became an important force in Sun Ce's army in the future.

However, there are also some children of big families who have been unhappy since they came to Jingzhou, and they have always wanted to leave but have not made up their minds, so they just took this opportunity to travel.

Some went north, some went east, and some went west into Bashu. Although there are signs of war in Bashu, it is always much more peaceful than other places.

Among them, there was a young man who was not yet eighteen years old. also followed his uncle to take a boat against the current and came to Bashu.

The young man's name was Pang Tong.

Sun Cejun missed a very important person.

But. Maybe they will see each other in the future.

At least Sun Ce has set his sights on Bashu.

Of course, there are still many people eyeing Bashu, at least Liu Bei has entered Shu. And Jia Xu has been planning for a long time.

It's just that Jia Xu is still concerned about the increasingly turbulent Xiliang and Chang'an.

A storm is brewing in the seemingly calm Guanzhong......

The war in the south of China is in full swing, but the war in the north is quietly extinguished.

The Yanzhou army had conquered most of the Kwantung region in northern China, and its power had swelled unprecedentedly, but as Xu Ji feared, the Yanzhou army's capabilities had reached its limit.

A total of nearly 400,000 Yanzhou troops, including the surrendered soldiers, were thrown into battle, and in order to cope with the battle, the entire Yanzhou became a veritable huge processing plant. The weapons, food, grass, and various military supplies needed by the 400,000 troops were continuously transported to the front.

The Zhen family in Jizhou and the newly rising Xin family also went all out in this war.

This does not take into account the materials invested in the resettlement of displaced people from various places.

Xun Yu, who made Xu Ji quite worried, was even more worried about Yanzhou's growing strength, and had reported to Xu Ji more than once about the economic situation of the state, and he believed that Xu Ji should settle the war in the north as soon as possible, and carry out no less than one year of restoration and construction activities since the end of the northern war.

Why doesn't Xu Ji want to? But now that the pace of unifying the north has reached the final moment, it is impossible for him to stop at all. I can only say sorry to Xun Yu and hope that he will be reluctant to hold on for a while.

Of course, Xun Yu also knew Xu Ji's current situation, so he could only grit his teeth and insist, and fully called on the people to support the front line in Yanzhou, and even brought the propaganda offensive created by Xu Ji to the extreme. Stabilize Yanzhou.

Of course, Xun Yu is more worried about Xu Ji's "disappearance", after all, Xu Ji has been "missing" for too long, which is absolutely unfavorable to Xu Ji.

Now Yanzhou's stability is entirely dependent on the fruits of Xu Ji's reforms. Due to the thoroughness of the reform, each government department has its own responsibilities, and there is no confusion at all because Xu Ji is not in Yanzhou.

What's more, high-level people in Yanzhou know the truth of this matter. So everyone was reassured.

As for the family, what influence does it still have in today's Yanzhou?

But anyway. Xu Ji has been "missing" for nearly a month and a half, if he is "missing". That's not a good thing.

However, Xu Ji will not disappoint Xun Yu, he wrote to Xun Yu, asking him to cooperate with Guo Jia, who is about to take action, and said that Guo Jia's action is the clue to his appearance. And this is also a test for Xu Ji, and it can be seen whether Xun Yu is really serving himself this time.

Soon after the end of the Yanzhou War, Guo Jia, the first military division of Yanzhou, who had been "disobeying" the orders of the Yanzhou government in Xuzhou, declared that not long ago, the real mastermind of the rebellion of Que Xuan in Xuzhou was the Cao family, a big family in Xuzhou.

Because in the entire Xuzhou incident, the person who gained the most benefits was Cao Bao!

Guo Jia did this, of course, because he received Xu Ji's order to cooperate with Jia Xu's actions in Chang'an.

As soon as the news that Cao Bao was the mastermind behind Que's rebellion, Xuzhou was in an uproar.

Of course, the party Cao Bao is speechless, in fact, Guo Jia did not intend to slander him in this matter, and the matter of Que Xuan's rebellion itself is inextricably linked to the late Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, and Cao Bao, who is Tao Qian's confidant, would be strange if he did not participate in this matter.

Now that Tao Qian is dead, there is no proof that the matter has become dead, Guo Jia said that Cao Bao is the mastermind behind this matter, how can Cao Bao say it clearly?

At the same time, Xun Yu of Yanzhou wrote a letter and issued a notice, "severely condemning" Guo Jia, saying that Guo Jia was undoubtedly disturbing Xuzhou by doing so, and that Xuzhou was a close neighbor of Yanzhou. What is the matter of the imperial court? ”

However, Guo Jia did not take Xun Yu's words to heart.

First of all, Guo Jia gathered the big families in Xuzhou, presented the so-called evidence, and more implicitly said his "ambition" to control Xuzhou in his hands, of course, Guo Jia did not say that he wanted to be the assassin of Xuzhou. Instead, Zhang Zhao, who was excavated by his deeds, was recommended to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou.

Zhang Zhaonai is a famous man in Guangling, and he is outstanding in internal affairs. When Tao Qian was alive, he had long wanted to ask Zhang Zhao to be an official. It's a pity that Zhang Zhao has always been pretended, and now Guo Jia proposes Zhang Zhao to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou, of course, no one will think that Zhang Zhao is not qualified enough.

However, these people also know that Zhang Zhao is now in the hands of Guo Jia, it can be said that Guo Jia is a person, there is Zhang Zhao as the assassin of Xuzhou, Guo Jia is very relieved, no matter what, Guo Jia's strength lies in the military and not in politics.

Mi Zhu said before that he wanted to give Xu Ji a "gift of crown", and naturally he had already secretly thrown himself into Yanzhou. knew the truth about Xu Ji's disappearance, and knew that this was a play made by Yanzhou for others to see, of course he had to fully cooperate, so he expressed his support for Guo Jia's decision on the spot.

The Zhao family and the Chen family remained silent, in their eyes, it was not a question of who would be the assassin of Xuzhou, but who could bring them the greatest benefits.

At present, it seems that it is better for this Guo Jia to control Xuzhou than Cao Bao to control Xuzhou, so they take a default attitude.

Guo Jia after achieving his goal. Immediately make the attitude of the Xuzhou family public to the world, which is undoubtedly working with Yanzhou.

At the same time, Guo Jia wrote a letter to Dasitu Wang Yun and explained everything in Xuzhou to Wang Yun. And there is a letter from the Xuzhou family that jointly recommended Zhang Zhao to serve as the assassin of Xuzhou.

Guo Jia deliberately provoked in a letter to Wang Yun, saying that the ancients already knew the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, and now look at Chang'an City. Yang Biao was friendly with Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Liu Yan, the assassin of Yizhou, while Lu Bu was obedient to Wang Yun on the surface. In fact, he is secretly pregnant with a ghost, since Lu Bu can betray others and kill his father-in-law every day. So it is difficult to guarantee that he will not betray Wang Yun in the future.

Now Lu Bu is trying his best to defend Cao Bao, in fact, he is seeking a way back for himself, wanting to become the second Yang Biao.

One Yang Biao can't tolerate it anymore, how can one more Lu Bu stand it?

Subsequently, Guo Jia hinted in his heart that he was willing to follow the story of "Three Caves of the Spring and Autumn Meng's Taste of the Rabbit" in Xuzhou, leaving a place for Wang Yun to settle down in Xuzhou.

Of course, Wang Yun would not believe that Guo Jia would sincerely take refuge in himself, he now thinks that Guo Jia is asking for help, after all, what he is doing now has the element of betraying Xu Ji, but now Guo Jia is fledgling and does not dare to be blatant, so he will seek help in the court.

Wang Yun had Wang Yun's considerations, if it was before, he would not have helped Guo Jia, but now it is different, because Yanzhou is too powerful, and the recent news from Jingzhou proves that the operation to hunt down Xu Ji has failed, at least now no one knows where Xu Ji is.

Even the masters of the Yuan Shu family sent by Yuan Shao were accidentally injured in Jingzhou by Xu Jiqiao's clever tricks and Huang Zhong, the number one master in Jingzhou.

Now that Jingzhou and Jiangdong are in turmoil, Xu Ji can take advantage of the chaos to cross the river and return to Yanzhou, once Xu Ji returns to Yanzhou, then there will be a lot of things exposed, if Xu Ji knows that he has revealed to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao that Xu Ji may be in Jingzhou, then Chang'an will face an unprecedented disaster.

If only the Emperor could be found.

This is what Wang Yun desires most in his heart.

As long as Emperor Han Xian is in his hands, then Xu Ji will not dare to act rashly against Chang'an even if he returns to Yanzhou, because once Xu Ji takes action, he can declare Xu Ji a rebel.

Xu Ji likes to attack others with grandiose reasons the most, so in the case of unjustifiable words, Xu Ji will not act rashly.

The problem is that the group of rice buckets has not been able to find the emperor.

Now Guo Jia's appearance has given Wang Yun a hint.

Wang Yun decided to help Guo Jia in secret, as long as Guo Jia became strong, his Chang'an would be stable.

Even if Xu Ji returns to Yanzhou, he will have to deal with Guo Jia first, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside", Xu Ji should understand this truth.

Therefore, Wang Yun immediately decided to follow Guo Jia's proposal and appointed Zhang Zhao as the assassin of Xuzhou.

Of course, Wang Yun did this more to guard against Lu Bu.

Guo Jia's judgment of Lu Bu shocked Wang Yun into a cold sweat, and in order to avoid future troubles, Wang Yun had to give up Cao Bao.

Now in Chang'an City, Wang Yun felt that the only people he could trust were Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu.

For this reason, Wang Yun wrote a letter to Jia Xu, who was "training" in Xianyang, and asked Jia Xu what to do.

Jia Xu, of course, praised Guo Jia's proposal.

At the same time, Jia Xu wrote back to Wang Yun, believing that if Guo Jia had the strength to fight Xu Ji, he must lead Guo Jia to have a few allies.

For this reason, Jia Xu suggested that Wang Yun might as well write a letter to Yuan Shao, who had been developing silently in Yuzhou, after all, Yuan Shao had long wanted to annex his younger brother Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, and now Yuan Shu's defeat was imminent, and it was a rebellion of the imperial court, so it was better to let Yuan Shao take advantage of the situation, form a second alliance, crusade against Yuan Shu, and then let Guo Jia and Yuan Shao join forces.

In this way, Guo Jia's wings have become.

In order to support Yuan Shao, Jia Xu also suggested inviting Sun Ce, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Zhang Ji's army of the Central Army, who had been watching the changes in Sizhou, to join the alliance and jointly crusade against Yuan Shu, so that Guo Jia's prestige would be raised to a maximum point, so that Xu Ji, who would meet Yanzhou in the future, would not dare to act rashly.

When Wang Yun saw Jia Xu's letter, he was overjoyed and praised him repeatedly, saying that only Jia Xu could come up with such a brilliant plan.

So he immediately began to write a letter to Yuan Shao.

It's just that Wang Yun didn't know that he had completely fallen into the calculations of Xu Ji, Jia Xu and Guo Jia without knowing it.

At the same time that Wang Yun received Jia Xu's letter, another letter from Jia Xu to Lu Bu had also quietly arrived in Lu Bu's hands.

A world change of unprecedented scale has begun to sweep in! (To be continued......)
