Chapter Fifty-Six: Wu County

"My lord?" It had been a day since Lu Rui captured Moling, and Lu Su came to the Zhongjun tent to visit Sun Quan.

"Zijing is here? It's all to blame for the carelessness of the general, I didn't expect Cao Cao to use the strategy of attacking the east and the west to deal with my Jiangdong, now that Moling is lost, the Yangtze River is no longer dangerous, how to fight against Cao's army? Sun Quan is secretly blaming himself, it is indispensable to guard against others, this time he did not defend against Cao Cao!

"The lord doesn't need to blame himself, and my Jiangdong civil and military forces didn't expect that Cao Cao would go south to attack my Jiangdong."

"My lord, do you want to send someone to Poyang Lake to ask the Metropolitan Governor's opinion before making a decision?" Lu Su asked Sun Quan tentatively, Sun Quan had just taken back part of the military power, and now he was about to hand it over, Sun Quan was afraid that he would not be reconciled!

"Zijing, if you send someone to ask Gong Jin, what choice will Gong Jin make?"

"According to the subordinates, the Metropolitan Governor will suggest that the lord withdraw his troops and garrison Lujiang County, relying on each other with Yuzhang County, and Xu Tu will plan later." Lu Su made a correct judgment, Cao Cao's army was in high morale, and it should not be a head-to-head confrontation, but should retreat to Lujiang and Yuzhang, and train the navy army in order to protect itself!

"Zijing? I just led the troops to Huiji, and I haven't seen an inch of success, so I have to hand over the military power? Sun Quan asked Lu Su rhetorically, he had just obtained part of the military power of the Jiangdong Army, and he originally wanted to use Shanyue to open a knife and establish prestige, but now he didn't even see Shanyue Mao, so he had to return it to Zhou Yu? Where will your authority be then?

Sun Ce was influenced by Sun Jian and was loyal to the Han family. Both Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu think about the Han family. Zhang Zhao surrendered in the Battle of Chibi, firstly because Cao Cao was powerful, and secondly, because Cao Cao held the righteousness of the Son of Heaven. Zhou Yu also respected Liu Xie, and once suggested that Sun Quan should flatter the Son of Heaven if Cao Cao. Do what is righteous. Then ask Sun Quan to raise Jiangdong and vote for Cao Cao.

asked Zhang Zhao if he was undecided about internal affairs. Foreign affairs are indecisive and ask Zhou Yu. It is Sun Quan's help, and it is also Sun Quan's weakness!

"This?" Lu Su also knew how powerful it was, and he didn't know how to answer Sun Quan for a while.

"Report! Lord, General Lu has just repelled Shanyue's surprise attack and captured many Shanyue prisoners. ”

"Oh?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up, this was the best news he had heard in recent days, Lu Xun defeated Shanyue again.

"Zijing?" Sun Quan called Lu Su.

"My lord, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Take advantage of me, the food and grass are still sufficient, defeat Shanyue, capture Shanyue captives, and then return to Yuzhang! "Since Sun Quan has decided to hold on to the military power, then Lu Su will help Sun Quan with advice.

"Good! Just according to Zijing's plan. The third brother was ordered to lead troops to garrison Wu County to resist Cao's army, and our army continued to exterminate Shanyue in Wenzhou. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Wu County, Gu Yong's mansion. Zhu Huan was in a hurry to visit Gu Yong.

"Brother Yuansi, do you know anything about Cao Jun?" As soon as Zhu Huan entered the door, he hurriedly shouted at Gu Yong.

"Hugh Mu, don't be in a hurry, sit down and talk slowly!" Gu Yong handed Zhu Huan a cup of tea unhurriedly.

Yuan sighed. Is this time for tea? Cao's army captured Moling, and 20,000 troops were stationed in Shentingling. I'm afraid I'm about to attack Wu County. Zhu Huan put the teacup aside and asked Gu Yong anxiously, Sun Ce has made the Jiangdong family suffer, if the team is not right this time, I am afraid that the four clans of Jiangdong will be finished.

"Hugh Mu doesn't need to panic, this is a letter sent by Lu Rui, as well as an edict from the imperial court." Gu Yong unhurriedly took out Lu Rui's letter and the imperial court's edict.

The edict of the imperial court is very clear: Feng Sun Ben is the Taishou of Wu County, and Gu Yong is the chief secretary of Wu County, and he is the squire. Zhu Huan is the captain of Wu County and a general.

"Yuan sigh, what is this?"

"Today, the imperial court sent an envoy to issue this edict, and at the same time sent back Lu Fan's body."

"So Sun Ben also knows about this?" Zhu Huan glanced at Gu Yong vigilantly.

"Yes, Sun Ben already knows."

"So what does Sun Ben mean?"

"Sun Ben is not an enemy of us, the meaning is very clear, Sun Ben also wants to be rich, and Sun Ben is not the son of Sun Jian, and Sun Quan is not a brother, it stands to reason that he is just the same clan, different clans, why should he die for Sun Quan?" Gu Yong smiled slightly, it seems that Wu Jun will be the three of them in the future.

"What Yuan Si said is reasonable, so let's reply to Lu Rui immediately and agree to serve Lord Sikong?" Zhu Huan asked Gu Yong tentatively.

"Master, General Sun is here." The housekeeper entered the study to report to Gu Yong.

"Okay, please come in."

"Yuan sigh? Sun Ben was invited by you? ”

"Yes, Sun Quan is going to send Sun Yi to lead troops to guard Wu County, if we don't make some meritorious deeds, how can we serve Lord Sikong?" Gu Yong smiled weirdly, revealing a smug expression.

"Yuan sighs and is smart, we have this meritorious service, and we are not afraid that Lord Sikong will temporarily regret it and deal with us."

"Yuan sigh, the old man is here!"

"I've seen General Sun!" Gu Yong and Zhu Huan stood up and saluted Sun Ben.

"Oh? So Hume is also there? ”

"Hello old general!"

"Does the old general know that Sun Yi is going to return to Wu County?"

"That's why the old man came."

"Is the old general willing to be loyal to Lord Sikong?"

"Since the old man is married to Lord Sikong, he naturally wants to help his in-laws, Sun Ce is unpopular in Jiangdong, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and there are people in the Sun clan who are not convinced, and the old man is just obeying the mandate of heaven."

"The old general said it well, with the assistance of the old general, Wu Jun will definitely be able to belong to Lord Sikong."

"Yuan sighed and won the award, if Wu Jun is attached to Lord Sikong, we must get rid of Wu Jing first!" Sun Ben showed a resentful look. Originally, Sun Ben was quite powerful in Wu County, but Wu Jing was Sun Ce's uncle, of course, he helped his nephew, in the process of Sun's seizure of Jiangdong, Sun Ben was quite meritorious, originally according to his official position, Sun Ben should have been the lord of Jiangdong, but he was arranged by Sun Ce to serve as idle in Yuzhang, if it wasn't for his daughter to marry this time, I am afraid he would not be able to bring his family to Wu County.

"What the old general said is very true, Yuan Si has a plan to let the old general get rid of Sun Ben."

"Oh? Yuan sighed quickly. ”

"Old general, is the envoy of Lord Sikong still in the house?"

"What do you mean?" Sun Ben withheld Cao Cao's envoy, nominally waiting for Sun Quan's intention to deal with it, but in fact he left a way back for himself.

"The old general can be like this, and Sun Yi and Wu Jing will definitely be captured at that time." Gu Yong whispered a few words in Sun Ben's ear.

"Yuan Si's plan is very good, so he will act according to Yuan Si's plan."

"Please ask the old general to arrange this matter, and I will arrange troops in the city with Humu in case of accidents!"

"Good!" After speaking, Sun Ben left Gu Yong's mansion.

The next day, Cao Cao had already come to Moling with his civil and military forces and personal guards, and Xu Du was handed over to Cao Ren to garrison.

"Report! Lord Sikong, Sun Ben killed the messenger of our army and sent the body back. ”

Cao Cao was listening to Lu Rui's report on the treasury in Moling City at the Taishou Mansion, when he heard the herald say that the messenger had been killed by Sun Ben.

"What?"

"Back to the lord, Sun Ben sent the body to Shenting Ridge, and General Cao Hong sent someone to send it back."

"Oh? Now that the Lord knows, go down and bury the messenger properly. ”

"No!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about the killing of our envoys?"

"Back to the lord, my subordinates feel that this matter is strange, if Sun Ben wants to deal with our army and wants to kill the envoy of our army, why should it take a day to kill the envoy of our army, and no one has come to Moling to write a war letter?" Guo Jia was the first to stand up and question the death of the messenger.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, so do you think Sun Ben deliberately did this?" Cao Cao is not a stupid person, and immediately thought of a bitter trick that might be Sun Ben.

"Exactly!"

"What do you think?"

"Back to the lord, Wu County is the foundation of the Jiangdong clan, Gu Yong and Zhu Huan have expressed their admiration for Lord Sikong, and this time after our army marched into Shenting Ridge, neither the Gu family nor the Zhu family said anything, and their subordinates think that they should wait and see what happens, maybe there will be good news in a few days." According to Lu Rui's opinion, if Sun Ben, Gu Yong, and Zhu Huan want to serve Cao Cao, then there will be action in the near future, if not, it is not too late for Cao Cao to wave his army to attack Wu County.

"Well, what you say is reasonable, our army will rest in Moling for a few more days, and after the situation in Wu County is clear, we are discussing the matter of marching into the army!"

"The lord is wise!" (To be continued......)
