Jiangdong, Jianye General's Mansion.

"Lord, Zhou Yu and Zhou Dudu are asking to see you outside the door!"

"Zhou Yu? He is not in Shouchun to guard against Cao Cao, what is he going to do when he returns to Jiangdong? Sun Jian, who was reviewing the recital, raised his head, thought about it for a while, and waved his hand: "Xuan!" ”

A moment later, Zhou Yu, dressed in gold and silver armor and wearing a red robe, strode over, compared with when he calculated Wang Xu, although he was still clear and heroic, but his face had more years of nicks, and he looked more mature.

"Lord!"

"Oh, Gong Jin, sit down first!" Sun Jian didn't rush to ask, and his face was full of smiles.

"Thank you, Lord for your sitting!" Zhou Yu walked to the side and sat down, then looked back at Sun Jian, and arched his hand and said: "My lord, I didn't send someone to report to Jianye this time, but I have something important to do." ”

"Oh?" Sun Jian frowned and said strangely, "What's the matter with Gong Jin?" ”

Zhou Yu did not answer in a hurry, but after looking at him for a long time, he asked out loud: "My lord, my subordinates heard the news from Jingzhou that Wang Xu is unharmed, and he is still allied with Yuan Shao in Hebei, and now he is going south along the sea route, preparing to go back by water, but the facts?" ”

"Yes, but there is such a thing." Sun Jian smiled and nodded. "Not only that, but I also want to take this opportunity to fulfill my earlier marriage contract and marry my beloved daughter Sun Ren to him."

After getting confirmed, Zhou Yuxing's eyes flashed: "Yuzhang County is a spike in the east and west of my river, which makes people watch out for it from time to time, and if Jiangdong wants to chase the Central Plains, it should also take Jingnan and occupy the entire area south of the Yangtze River, so that you can go north with peace of mind." ”

"The lord has long been willing to seize it, but Jingzhou is powerful, and Jiangdong is not completely stable. Out of reach. Did the lord ever think about it? Take advantage of this God-given opportunity to set up a game? Plot to seize Yuzhang, even the four counties of Jingnan! ”

"Set up a bureau?" Sun Jian looked at him suddenly, his eyes sharp. "Do you want me to detain him and exchange the five counties to Jingzhou?"

Saying that, Sun Jian smiled, shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy, not to mention whether it can be exchanged, even if it is really changed to the land of the five counties." But the alliance is broken, there will definitely be a lot of people to attack, my Jiangdong unification is too late, and now the south is not flat, the foundation is not stable, and the military and material development reserves are far behind. If Baiyue is calm, there will be another two or three years of accumulation and development, but I am not afraid! ”

"The lord has misunderstood!" Zhou Yu smiled inscrutablely. Of course, this is not feasible. If that's the case, I'm afraid that the other side will fight with us to the death. Subordinate means: Do some preparation! ”

"Huh? Tell me about it! Sun Jian finally became a little interested, and looked at Zhou Yu for a long time.

Zhou Yu closed his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, obviously sorting out his thoughts, and after a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Lord, the war between the two families of Cao and Yuan is about to begin, Wang Xu has concluded a life-and-death alliance with him, will he inevitably send troops." ”

"Of course!" Sun Jian thought for a while and agreed: "Not to mention his determination to pacify the world, even if it is a bad relationship with Cao Cao, he will never let Cao Cao unify the north, so he is bound to help Yuan Shao." ”

"What the lord said is good, no matter from any point of view, Wang Xu will inevitably send troops, and the direction of his troops must be Si Li."

"Si Li?"

"Yes." Zhou Yu's face was full of confidence, and his spirit was flying: "Capturing Chang'an, Luoyang, and Hongnong, expanding his power to the Yellow River, and then taking the opportunity to go east into the Central Plains is his way out, otherwise he can only take Jiangdong and unify the south, but he has formed a mortal enemy with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also regards it as a big danger to his henchmen, if he fights to the death with Jiangdong, he will be plotted by Cao Cao, so he can only take the subordinate, and in the case of not exceeding its bottom line, he will always maintain an ally with my Jiangdong." ”

"Hmm!" Sun Jian lowered his head and pondered, and said noncommittally: "Go on." ”

"Since this is the case, then when Yuan Cao and Wang Xu also send out a large army to capture Si Li, we can secretly attack Yuzhang, or even Jingnan!" Zhou Yu said with certainty.

"How?"

Sun Jian's brows furrowed more and more, but he was obviously very moved by Zhou Yu's mention. In the early years, he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but with the development of the world, he was also slowly changed, the so-called situation created heroes, when he couldn't bear it anymore, and was finally forced to fight back against other princes, he finally gave up and embarked on another road.

Now, he has come a long way on this road, only to find that other princes are also taking this road, the only thing that makes him regret is why he didn't do it earlier, otherwise he would not let Jiangdong fall into the passive situation it is today, this era does not need loyal ministers, only capable people.

"Gong Jin, if it is attacked, it is definitely not a small force, as long as the Jiangdong army is mobilized, Jingzhou will inevitably get the news, and the few commanders of its spy shadow are notoriously powerful. At that time, they will inevitably be on strict guard, and instead of attacking them, we will turn them into great enemies? ”

"This is why my subordinates just said that it was a godsend!" Zhou Yu understood his lord's thoughts, and said calmly: "The general wants to marry his beloved daughter to Wang Xu, but have you ever thought that he will make a big deal about this marriage, and send him off with a large army on the grounds of protecting his safety." ”

"A big army?"

"Yes, we will not only send it, but also send it to the border of Jingzhou." Zhou Yu's eyes were cold. "Although Jingzhou will strengthen its vigilance, there will be no reason to refuse, after it is delivered, a large number of soldiers will be secretly transferred to the mountains south of Yuzhang County, and let a small group of men and horses pretend to be a large army, return to Jianye with great fanfare, and along the way, on the grounds of supporting the war in the south, the soldiers will be transferred to the south in batches, so that no one can confirm how much our group of soldiers will return."

"If this is an act in time of war, it is difficult to really hide it under the close attention of the other side, but during this great day, when the two sides have no reason for belligerence at all, neither side will investigate in detail, so we can hide the army."

"As for the supplies and food, we can secretly let the officials over there spread the information about the famine, causing panic among the people, as long as it is done well, there is nothing in the first place, and the people can spread it very strictly, then we will transport it on a large scale in the name of providing grain for disaster relief, as long as the quantity of transportation is concealed, the types of goods transported can be concealed from the world."

Sun Jian has been on the battlefield for a long time, and when he heard this, he didn't understand it, so he smiled and said, "That's it." When Jingzhou sent troops to the Northern Expedition. When the movements of the Koto army were closely probed. The army is already at its doorstep, and it can be suddenly attacked with lightning speed, and Jingzhou, which is unprepared, cannot mobilize troops to resist in a short time. ”

"What the lord said is very true!" Zhou Yu's face was calm, and he said with a smile: "This is also the only chance in a short period of time, if not, you can only wait for Baiyue to calm down and Jiangdong's foundation is stable before making plans." But at that time, the situation in the world did not know how to change, there were too many variables, and I still hope that the lord will think carefully. ”

"Even if this plan is successful, but Jingzhou immediately returns to the army to attack, how can Jiangdong deal with itself?" Sun Jian asked.

Zhou Yu said with certainty: "No, the Jingzhou army is deeply involved in the war in the north, and if it is defeated, its strength is not enough, and Jiangdong is not afraid." If it wins, it is a stable dìng division. To guard against the great enemy of all sides, it is impossible to go all out to the south. And we strictly guard the banks of the Yangtze River and take advantage of the danger to resist the enemy, and we have nothing to fear. Therefore, as long as we take Yuzhang and Jingnan, no matter whether we win or lose, they no longer pose a threat, and after a year or two, Jiangdong will become a success, and there will be no more worries. ”

"But when Jingzhou goes out to conquer Sili, quickly take Yuzhang and the four counties of Jingnan, what is the winning rate?"

"Foolproof!" Zhou Yu was full of confidence, and said with a smile: "As long as he doesn't act on a business trip, it is impossible for Jingzhou to doubt, as long as he Wang Xu is still a human being, not a god, and he will not predict, how can he garrison a heavy army in a meaningless place when he is going out to fight?" This is counterintuitive. ”

After hearing this, Sun Jian fell into a long silence, he knew that this step was easy to say, but once it was implemented, it would mean that the two families would completely break up, and success would naturally be good, Jiangdong would be in full swing, there was no need to be afraid, but if it failed, the consequences would be very severe.

Zhou Yu, who was sitting quietly next to him, didn't say anything more, everything that should have been said had already been finished, and the rest could only be decided by Sun Jian.

I don't know how long it took, Sun Jian finally slapped the table hard. "Okay, let's act according to this plan, but remember, you know this matter, I know, and the generals who lead the troops know, and the rest of the people can't be explained, if anyone leaks half a point, they will not be spared."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and got up excitedly and saluted: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter will definitely be handled by his subordinates, but there are some grievances about the general's beloved daughter!" ”

Sun Jian waved his hand disapplausively: "It's okay, marriage is marriage, it has nothing to do with military affairs, Wang Xu is not a small person, he will not embarrass a woman, the relationship between the two is the right family, there is nothing to do, and only the stronger Jiangdong is, the higher the status of the little girl in the Wang family." ”

The two did not talk about it again, and Zhou Yu gave a general report on the deployment along the Huai River, and then said goodbye and returned home.

At this moment, Wang Xu, who was slowly moving south on the sea, did not know that the world had undergone drastic changes with the dispute between Yuan Cao, although he had some premonitions in his heart, but after all, he just felt it, and he didn't know how it would change.

When Zhou Yu admonished Sun Jian, he was still lying on his back on the deck of the sea ship, his eyes narrowed slightly, enjoying the sunshine and the breath of the sea.

"It's so comfortable!"

Stretching, Wang Xu looked lazily to his side, but found that Fan Tong was still sitting there worried, thinking about his thoughts.

"Navy, I see that you have been haunted since you met that leader yesterday, what are you thinking?"

"Oh! General, nothing. Fan Tong shook his head, but after a long time, he couldn't help but answer: "I just feel a little strange and restless!" ”

"Why, you have been sailing all year round, and you still have an instinct for danger?" Wang Xu laughed.

"I can't say! The main thing is that the last sentence of Leader Zhang yesterday is too strange! Fan Tong said anxiously.

"Leader Zhang's words?" Wang Xu pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Are you saying that he finally reminded you that the south is not safe?" ”

"Hmm!" Fan Tong nodded.

Zhang He, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly interjected in a funny way: "What's that, others kindly remind me, but it's just polite, even if there is danger in the south, be careful, why be so worried?" If the generals in the army are like you, I am afraid that the days will not be over. ”

Fan Tong thought about it, but still shook his head and explained: "General Wang, General Zhang!" You don't know, the contemptible man has known the leader for many years, and his own brother is one of the brothers of the contemptible team that was in the ship, but he later died in Yamatai, and he was still the death of the contemptible to report, so the friendship is good. ”

"Since the friendship is good, isn't it more common for him to remind you?" Zhang Heqi said.

"No!" The worry in Fan Tong's eyes became heavier and heavier, and he said with great certainty: "On the sea, there is no need to remind ordinary dangers, he knows the ability of contemptible people, since he reminds him, it must not be a common thing, and he said it very concisely, I understand him, this matter must be because of the importance of the stakes, he is not good at revealing too much, so he just reminds to be careful." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Xu and Zhang He, whose faces were gradually solemn, and sighed: "When it comes to the identity of General Wang, although the contemptible people can't figure out what kind of danger it is, I'm afraid it's a dispute, so it's better to make some preparations." ”

"This ......"

Wang Xu and Zhang He looked at each other, and they were inadvertently provoked by Fan Tong to be vigilant.

ps: I wanted to explode the fourth watch, but there is not enough time, so I will have three more today, and I will break out again in two days! Thank you all for your support. (To be continued......)
