"Why did some spies learn that Lujiang was too guarded by Sun Jian and was preparing soldiers and horses to attack Hefei? Strategist, didn't you meet with Sun Jian privately to coordinate a truce? ”

"This ......"

Lu Su wiped the sweat on his forehead with his robe, and for a while he couldn't answer the question of Zhang Liao, the general of Hefei.

Each faction will plant spies in each other's cities, and as long as a city begins to prepare food, grass, and weapons, then most of them will not be able to hide from the eyes and ears of the spies.

There are various indications that Sun Jian is raising grain, grass, soldiers and horses for the third attack on Hefei City, and Lujiang County has gathered at least 150,000 troops.

This made Lu Su, who was in charge of peace talks with Sun Jian, quite passive in the face of questions from his colleagues.

In order to prevent Hefei City from being besieged by the Jiangdong army again, Chutian took the initiative to negotiate peace with Sun Jian.

Lu Su is the person in charge and the foreign minister.

However, the war was rekindled, and Lu Su, as a peacemaker, had an unshirkable responsibility.

"No matter what, the soldiers and horses assembled in Lujiang County may exceed 200,000, mainly from Jiangnan, and we in Hefei City must prepare soldiers and horses to meet Sun Jian."

Ma Yuan and Tian Ji were newly transferred to Hefei to defend Hefei and increase the strength to defend Hefei, but Chu Tian was reluctant to find that Huainan and even Xuzhou were captured by the Jiangdong Army during the expedition to Liaodong.

After the development of Chutian, Xuzhou is already the richest state, rich and rivals the country, providing a steady stream of financial support for Chutian.

The Mi family almost monopolized the private trade with Dongying, and even profited a lot from the rise of Chutian, which can be regarded as Chutian's return to the Mi family.

Ma Yuan and Tian Ji were transferred to Hefei, but in fact, they did not object to a war with Sun Jian, so that they could achieve military success.

From a selfish point of view, the military generals naturally hope that the world will be in chaos, and they will have a place to play.

After all, no one knows if Chu Tian will have a day when all the birds will fly and the good bow will be hidden.

"Prepare for war!"

Zhang Liao, as the chief general who was familiar with the Hefei area, ordered martial law, and the people of Hefei City were panicked.

Hu Sanniang was wandering on the street with her son, and found that the soldiers and horses in the city were mobilized, so she found Zhang Liao: "Xianggong, the difficulty Jiangdong soldiers and horses are going to attack Hefei again?" ”

Zhang Liao replied heavily: "The world is in turmoil, only Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other hinterlands can be stable, you and your children go to Xia City for refuge." In case the Jiangdong Army comes with all its might, I am afraid that Hefei may not be able to hold it. ”

Zhang Liao was also a little unsure.

The Jiangdong Army is growing into a fierce beast.

Wu Wang Tongque is a player, but not the historical Sun 100,000, there are two major branches under his command, Xie Xuan's Beifu Army, Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army, in addition, Tongque also formed the Navy Legion, the Southern Dynasty Legion, the Shanyue Legion and other legions to strengthen their strength.

If Tongque is desperate to attack Hefei, and Hefei does not receive effective support, there is a possibility of losing it.

"I will order my subordinates to send Hu'er to Xia City, and then stay with you to defend the city."

"You ......"

Zhang Liao saw Hu Sanniang's firm eyes and couldn't bear to refuse.

Huainan beacon fire again, the shadow of the war hovering over Hefei City, Hefei City gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, there are high-level troops, there are also low-level troops, mainly low-level troops.

The elite legions were basically transferred to participate in the Northern War, so the legions in Hefei City were not elite, relying on strong city fortifications.

Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army, as if arriving as promised, landed at the mouth of the river under the transportation of the boat division.

The sailors of the Xia army went to contain the soldiers and horses of the Goryeo Kingdom and prevent the Kangxian king of the Goryeo Kingdom from supporting the Ming Pass, so the Xia army was actually completely unable to gain a foothold in the Yangtze River valley and ceded the Yangtze River valley to the Wu State.

Sun Jian relied on the boat master to come and go freely in the Yangtze River Valley, and it was difficult to really annihilate Sun Jian.

Lujiang County is in Jiangbei, but Chutian did not attack Lujiang County, the reason is that even if Lujiang County is captured, it will have to endure the continuous harassment of the Jiangdong Naval Division, simply ignore Lujiang County, and stick to Hefei, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Jiangdong Army appeared under the city of Hefei, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and there was no end in sight.

"I need to talk to Lujiang Taishou Sun Jian alone!"

Lu Su went to the meeting alone and went out of the city to call the battle.

Zhang Liao, Ma Yuan, Tian Ji, Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others were in the city.

As the chief general, Zhang Liao agreed to Lu Su's request, and Lu Su was allowed to go to the meeting alone.

This kind of behavior is really dangerous.

Lu Su also has a little force, but it is not enough to see at all.

In addition to the Jiangdong military generals, Sun Jian's Jiangdong Army also had Song Jiang's Liangshan military generals.

But Lu Su was put on a stand by Sun Jian, and he really had no face.

Soon Sun Jian left the camp and met with Lu Su in front of the two armies, and the soldiers on both sides could not know the content of the conversation between the two.

Even if Lu Su was a good man, he couldn't accept Sun Jian's backtracking, so he scolded him: "Sun Wentai, our King Xia is willing to form a good alliance with the Sun family to Qin and Jin, so as to avoid the soldiers of the two sides from fighting and increasing casualties, why did he break his oath today and send troops to attack Hefei?" ”

Sun Jian replied calmly: "King Wu ordered me to crusade against Hefei, and I had to obey. ”

Lu Su is not a mediocre person, and he caught the meaning of negotiability from Sun Jian's simple answer: "Just for show? ”

"Definitely."

"Sun Wentai, what do you want?"

"I thought we had to raise the price."

Sun Jian made a gesture.

Lu Su understood Sun Jian's intentions.

Sun Jian was not satisfied with the conditions negotiated between the two sides before, and the soldiers came to the city, not only to sell Tongque a face, but also to put forward new conditions to Chutian.

From this point of view, Sun Jian is really a heroic figure.

In other words, the troubled times turned Sun Jian into a hero.

When he saw the various princes showing their skills and competing in the Central Plains, Sun Jian was also growing.

Lu Su asked helplessly, "What more conditions do you want?" The son of the king of Xia married a daughter of you, and you are already Gao Pan. ”

Sun Jian said: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, my daughter is like a pearl in the palm of her hand, if she wants to marry the son of King Xia, she must be in the main room." ”

"This ......"

Lu Su didn't expect Sun Jian to want to become a relative of the emperor, and he was the most important relative of the emperor.

If Sun Jian's daughter becomes the future princess, then the status of the Sun family will be much higher than that of Lu Su.

Lu Su really couldn't easily agree to Sun Jian, and he actually had no power.

In the end, it can only be Chutian who makes the decision.

"I have asked the King of Xia to see how he is. During this period, you can only symbolically attack Hefei. ”

Although Lu Su didn't know if Chu Tian would agree, he could at least delay Sun Jian's attack on Hefei.

"Zhu Neng, Zu Dashou, and Sun Chuanting were all captured for me, Kong Youde and Duan Piyan died in battle, it seems that this time Mingguan will bleed heavily. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and not give the Ming army a chance to breathe. ”

In Liaoxi County, after a simple rest, the various regiments under Chu Tian's command prepared to expedition to Liucheng and fought until Liaodong.

He summoned various strategists, Sun Bin, Fang Xuanling, Zhang Bin, Guo Jia, Xun You and others.

Suddenly, Chu Tian saw that Guo Jia's face was not very good, and thought that Guo Jia had a negative trait "Heavenly Jealousy of Talents", and during the expedition, he might die of illness, so he said to Guo Jia: "On this expedition, Fengxiao, you will stay in the rear for the time being, go to Luoyang City, and serve the Wei Wushu Army." In addition, be careful about the body, and do not. ”

This expedition to Liucheng was dry and waterless for hundreds of miles along the way, so it was not easy.

The West Liaoning Corridor is a long and narrow strip, with Guzhucheng close to Jixian County in Youzhou and Liucheng near Liaodong.

The Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty all had crusades against Liaodong, and the further they went, the more difficult it became, because the population of Liaodong increased.
