When Yuan Shu was about to make a move against Xuzhou, Sun Jian, an Annan general entrenched in the Changsha area, also began to move.

Because of Liu He's agitation, the situation in the world in this time and space has gradually drifted away from the history in Liu He's memory, Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger, did not die under the arrows of Huang Zu, but instead accumulated strength in the Changsha area, not only threatening the rule of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but also threatening Yuzhang County and Huiji County in the south of Yangzhou.

Since Sun Jian got rid of the rebellious Qu Xing in Changsha, the imperial court crowned him as the general of Annan, and for a while, there were more talents from the Jiangnan region who went to Changsha to defect to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian has a brother-in-law named Wu Jing, who is the younger brother of Sun Jian's eldest wife, that is, Sun Ce's uncle, who once followed Sun Jian to fight against Dong Zhuo, and was later appointed by the imperial court as a cavalry captain. After Yuan Shu occupied Yangzhou, he recommended Wu Jing to the imperial court to serve as the Taishou of Danyang, and Wu Jing led his troops to crusade against the former Taishou Zhou Xin, and then occupied Danyang. After Sun Jian gained a firm foothold in Changsha, Wu Jing used his connections in Danyang to introduce Zhang Zhao, a famous scholar from Pengcheng, and Zhang Hong, a famous scholar from Guangling, who lived in the south of the Yangtze River, to Sun Jian.

Liu Biao, who was far away in Xiangyang, was very anxious when he learned that Sun Jian was secretly accumulating troops, so he sent an envoy Kuai Yue to Shouchun to meet Yuan Shu, claiming that he would not interfere with Yuan Shu's use of troops against Xuzhou, but the premise was that Yuan Shu would not help Sun Jian in Changsha. Although Yuan Shu and Sun Jian have some contradictions, the overall relationship has always been good, if it weren't for the fact that Sun Jian's existence has threatened the hinterland of Yangzhou, Yuan Shu may not agree to Liu Biao's request, after all, Yuan Shu hates and resents Liu Biao more than Sun Jian.

In order to force Sun Jian to return to his account, Yuan Shu followed the advice of Yan Xiang, a strategist beside him, and secretly made an alliance with Liu Biao. On the other hand, he sent people to Changsha to appease Sun Jian, and encouraged Sun Jian to plot to seize Guiyang County and Lingling County.

After Sun Jian saw Chen Ji, the envoy sent by Yuan Shu, he reassured Chen Ji that he had no intention of marching eastward, and it would not affect the plan of General Yuan Shu to conquer Xuzhou. Chen Ji got Sun Jian's letter and happily returned to Shouchun, and Yuan Shu specially sent someone to send Sun Jian some gold, silver, jewelry, weapons and armor in order to thank Sun Jian for his support.

Zhang Zhao was very displeased when he saw that Sun Jian had wavered in his determination to seize the land of Jiangdong to the east, so he came to persuade Sun Jian, and he said to Sun Jian: "Does the general think that this land of Changsha can be safed?" ”

Sun Jian shook his head. It means that Changsha is only a temporary place to stay.

Zhang Zhao asked Sun Jian again: "Does the general think that Yangzhou Yuan Shu can win the world?" ”

Sun Jian still shook his head and replied: "Yuan Shu is greedy and arrogant, suspicious, and not the appearance of a human master. ”

"Does the general think that Changsha's current strength can face off against Liu Biao in Jingzhou?"

"My strength is less than 30% of Liu Biao, and it is really difficult to compete with Liu Biao head-on."

"Since Changsha is not a place to live for a long time, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou is not easy to follow, why should the general hesitate? Now Yuan Shu has put heavy troops into Xuzhou. Yuzhang and Huiji's defense was weak, and it was a good time to send troops, if the general could get in touch with Wu Taishou in Danyang, let him send troops to Wu County. In less than half a year, seventy percent of Yangzhou's land will fall into the hands of generals! ”

After listening to Zhang Zhao's suggestion, Sun Jian's heart was moved. As Zhang Zhao said, this Changsha belongs to the rule of Liu Biao in Jingzhou after all. Once Liu Biao gathered his forces to attack, Sun Jian had to quickly find another place to stay. Since he had to leave sooner or later, it was better to take advantage of Yuan Shu's attention to the north. gave Yuan Shu a hard stab from behind, and took all the land of Jiangdong into his pocket.

Sun Jian pondered for a moment and said to Zhang Zhao: "What Mr. Zibu said is very reasonable, but the matter of eastward expansion is a matter of survival, and Rong will make a decision after discussing with several subordinates. ”

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Jian had already moved, so he didn't persuade him anymore, he hadn't fully gained Sun Jian's trust yet, and it would be useless to say too much, so it was better to let Sun Jian slowly understand it.

After Zhang Zhao left, Sun Jian immediately sent someone to call his old subordinates Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zhu Zhi, who had followed him for many years, and told him that he intended to take advantage of Yuan Shu's northern expedition to Xuzhou to send troops to Yuzhang and seize the land of Jiangdong.

Cheng Pu and the others are all old men who have followed Sun Jian for many years, and they have no objection to Sun Jian's decision, but just remind Sun Jian that since he wants to send troops to Yuzhang, he needs to find a suitable excuse so as not to lose people's hearts.

Sun Jian pondered for a long time, and found that if he sent troops to attack Yuzhang now, he would indeed be a little sorry for Yuan Shu, and it would also make the world laugh at him for being a person who went back on his word. When Sun Jian was in a dilemma, the strategist Zhang Hong came to make a speech, suggesting that Sun Jian quickly send someone to Lujiang and Anhui County to propose marriage to the Qiao family, and let Qiao Gong give his youngest daughter, Xiao Qiao, to Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce.

Sun Jian couldn't tell what the purpose of Zhang Hong's proposal was, so he asked Zhang Hong: "Many big families in Wujun and Huiji have sent people to Changsha to express their willingness to marry my Sun family, why does Mr. Zigang want me to propose to Qiao Gong in Anhui County?" ”

Zhang Hongxu smiled and said: "The general doesn't know, the Qiao family has promised the eldest daughter to Liu Shiren in Youzhou, but now Yuan Shu has sent troops to Anhui County to surround the Qiao family, if the eldest son can tie the knot with the second daughter of the Qiao family, not only can he have a relationship with Youzhou, but also have an excuse to send troops to Yuzhang!" ”

Sun Jian pondered carefully and understood what Zhang Hong meant, so Da Lu smiled and said: "With the assistance of two gentlemen, Zibu and Zigang, Sun Mou's sweep of Jiangdong is just around the corner!" ”

Immediately, Sun Jian asked people to prepare a generous gift and sent Zhang Hong to Anhui County to propose marriage to Qiao Xuan.

Liu He, who is thousands of miles away, does not know at this time that he is likely to become a "one-shoulder" with the little overlord Sun Ce, in the original time and space, the children of the Qiao family married Sun Ce and Zhou Yu respectively, but now Liu He wants to marry Da Qiao, and Sun Ce comes to marry Xiao Qiao, but there is nothing to do with Mei Zhoulang.

Sun Jian's side has not yet been arranged, but Liu Biao of Jingzhou has made the first move, and without waiting for Sun Jian to take the initiative to send troops to Yuzhang, he has already gathered 30,000 naval divisions and 60,000 infantry near Jiangling, led by generals Cai Mao and Huang Zu respectively, and killed them in the direction of Changsha.

When Sun Jian received an urgent report from the direction of Luoxian, the Jingzhou naval division led by Cai Mao had already killed from the direction of Dongting Lake, and the infantry led by Huang Zu also followed closely behind and attacked Yiyang from the direction of Hanshou.

After Sun Jian heard the news, he was furious and then shocked. He immediately ordered Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to lead 10,000 soldiers to Luoxian for reinforcements, while he himself personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Yiyang, and wanted to separate from the two armies of Cai Mao and Huang Zu who came to attack.

Soon after Sun Jian and Liu Biao's subordinates fought in Luoxian and Yiyang, Yuzhang Taishou Chen Yu did not know whose secret report and learned that Sun Jian was originally going to march into Yuzhang, and he immediately sent his subordinate Captain Wan Yan to hold more than 30 official seals to give the thieves Shuai Zulang, Jiao Ji and Yan Baihu and others in Chaisang, Yichun, Luling, and Jianchang counties, and instigated these local strongmen to attack in the direction of Changsha together.

Sun Jian, who was attacked on both sides of the east and west, became more and more courageous the more he fought, and he asked his eldest son Sun Ce to take Lu Fan and Zhou Yu to meet Zu Lang and Yan Baihu and others who attacked from the direction of Yuzhang, and Sun Ce only had 5,000 foot soldiers under his command. But because of Zhou Yu's advice, he successively set up ambushes in Ancheng, Liling and other places, and defeated the thieves who came. After killing Zu Lang and Yan Baihu and others, Sun Ce was especially unrelieved of his hatred, and even took advantage of Yuzhang's panic when Chen Yu was in a panic, and killed Nanchang, Yuzhang's governing place, Chen Yu was defeated, and fled east to Huiji alone, and defected to Huiji Taishou Liu Xuan.

Sun Jian could not stop the onslaught of Wen Ping and Huang Zhong under Huang Zu's command in Yiyang. After defending for more than a month, they withdrew to Changsha, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai in the direction of Luoxian were also barely able to cope with Cai Mao's attack. Sun Jian learned that his son had occupied Yuzhang, so he immediately ordered Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to withdraw directly to the territory of Yuzhang. Sun Jian himself packed up all the belongings in Changsha City and went straight to Nanchang.

At that time, Yuan Shu had already invested most of his troops on the battlefields of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and Yuzhang's behavior of guarding Chen Yu to attack Changsha was not out of Yuan Shu's intentions. Therefore, Yuan Shu had nothing to say about Sun Jian and Yuzhang.

After Sun Jian fully withdrew from Changsha, Huang Zu led his army to quickly occupy the entire territory of Changsha, and he recommended Han Xuan to Liu Biao as the Taishou of Changsha. Huang Zhong served as the governor of Changsha to guard against the threat of Sun Jian from the direction of Yuzhang. Liu Biao was naturally very happy to learn that Sun Jian's father and son had finally been driven out of Jingzhou, so he rewarded Huang Zu and Cai Mao, who had made great contributions, and appointed Han Xuan as the Taishou of Changsha, appointed Huang Zhong as the Governor of Changsha, and led 10,000 infantry to stay in Changsha.

After Chen Yu, the original Yuzhang Taishou fled to Huiji Shanyin, he begged Liu Xuan, the Taishou of Huiji, to send troops to recapture Yuzhang, and Liu Xuan was about to raise troops, but Wu Jing, the Taishou of Danyang, suddenly led his troops to attack and threatened Liu Xuan. Liu Jian had no choice but to give up, and Sun Jian's father and son temporarily settled down in Yuzhang.

After another period of time, Zhang Hong, who went to Anhui County, brought back good news, Qiao Xuan agreed to the Sun family's proposal and expressed his willingness to give his second daughter to Sun Ce. After Sun Ce learned of this, he was about to send troops to Anhui County to rescue Qiao's family, but was stopped by Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao said to Sun Jian: "The general must not send troops to Anhui County at this time, and he needs to wait for the results of the war in Xuzhou to see the situation." ”

Sun Jian was silent, a little unwilling to give up this opportunity to send troops to Lujiang.

Zhang Zhao then persuaded Sun Jian again: "Yuan Shu's command has not yet penetrated into the territory of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, if the general annoys Yuan Shu at this time, I am afraid that he will give up the plan to attack Xuzhou, and turn around to deal with the general with Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Xuan, the inspector of the Huiji." ”

Zhang Hong also persuaded Sun Jian: "The general might as well take advantage of the fact that several parties have no time to take care of Yuzhang, and clean up all the villains and other bandits entrenched in Yuzhang, so that not only can the prestige of the general be enhanced, but also the vigilance of other powerful forces." ”

Sun Jian felt that Erzhang's words were reasonable, so he gave up the plan to send troops to Anhui County, and asked his generals such as Han Dang and Huang Gai to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to ruthlessly clean up and sweep away the underworld forces in Yuzhang.

Since Shenzhu Rong fled all the way south from Xuzhou, he thought that he had found a place of peace in Yuzhang, but he did not expect a catastrophe to fall from the sky, and he was chased and killed by Han Dang's soldiers with no way to escape, and finally only ended up with a corpse separated.

As for the large amount of wealth that Di Rong scavenged from Xuzhou, it was cheaper for Sun Jian. (To be continued......)
