In Danyang County, Jiangdong, Yangzhou Mu Tongque and his righteous brother Sun Jian met to discuss major matters.

"I want to build a stone city here, change Moling County to Jianye County, take Stone City as the main city, and capture the Central Plains and Qingxu."

The bronze bird pointed to an expanding city on the Yangtze River.

Stone Town is already a small city at this time, as long as Tongque is willing to spend money, Stone Town can be upgraded to a large city in a very short time.

Sun Jian was puzzled: "Wu County has millions of fertile land, why not take Wu County as the main city, but build a new city?" ”

"The Yangtze River is dangerous, I must personally guard it, and I can attack and retreat. Moreover, the construction of Stone Town has another meaning. ”

Historically, Stone Town was originally built by Sun Quan.

Since it is no longer possible for Sun Quan to rule Jiangdong, Tongque wants to build a stone city by himself.

Wu County was later known as Suzhou.

Although Suzhou and Hangzhou are good, they are gentle townships. The forces with Wu County as the main city often lack enterprising spirit.

Sun Quan was already much better than Zhao Gou, who fled to Hangzhou, at least Sun Quan sat in Stone Town and personally went on the Northern Expedition, while Zhao Gou also prevented his subordinates from the Northern Expedition.

"I heard that a daughter was born in the house not long ago."

Tongque mentioned the matter to Sun Jian.

"Exactly."

"In my opinion, its name may be Sun Shangxiang."

Sun Shangxiang...... Thank you for the name. ”

Sun Jian was a little surprised, but finally accepted the proposal.

Tongque is trying its best to maintain the direction of Koto.

If his descendants can marry Sun Jian's descendants in the future, the relationship between the two families will be closer, and the Sun family will be completely integrated into his own family.

"My lord, Jizhou Zhao Long sent an envoy who is waiting in the lord's mansion, so ......"

Tongque was taking Sun Jian to inspect Stone City, and the military advisor Chen Ping came to Tongque's side and whispered to his ear.

After hearing this, Tongque's eyes changed, and he mentioned this matter to Sun Jian: "Brother Yi, do you guess that Jizhou Zhao Long sent someone here, so what's the matter?" ”

Sun Jian saw that Tongque was relieved, and he didn't regard it as an outsider at all, so he thought about it seriously before he replied: "Zhao Long must have asked for his righteous brother, so he sent someone here." For my brother, I thought that this matter was related to the Hebei War. ”

"Exactly. Now that we have decided to be aggressive, we cannot afford to sit idly by. However, some small and medium-sized lords and Shanyue people are still entrenched in various counties, and it will take time to completely calm down. There is also a large number of princes in Fujian. So I want to divide a group of troops and horses to capture Huainan. Guarding the river must guard Huai, Huainan is in the hands of Chu Zimou, and sooner or later it will be a hidden danger. ”

"If the righteous brother can capture Hefei and Shouchun, then the righteous brother can be relocated from Chaisang to Shouchun, and the land of Huainan is all owned by the righteous brother, how about it?"

If Tongque wants to use Sun Jian's strength, he must pay the corresponding price, and Huainan is his promise to Sun Jian.

"When his brother was in trouble, the righteous brother was not afraid of it, but sincerely took it in. Now that the righteous brother is in trouble, how can the brother stand by and watch! The matter of attacking Huainan can be handed over to the brother. The land of Huainan is owned by the righteous brother! ”

Sun Jian took the initiative to undertake the task of attacking Huainan.

"With the Jiangdong Tigers out of the horse, I can worry free!"

Tongque successfully instigated Sun Jian to attack Huainan for himself, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Sending Sun Jian to attack Huainan, Tongque also had plans to weaken Sun Jian's power. Sun Jian fled from Jingnan to the area of Chaisang and Lujiang, bringing with him many old troops.

Sun Ce, who had planned to attack Xuchang in the Battle of Guandu, failed because he was assassinated.

Now, Tongque wants Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, to go and implement this plan.

Sun Ce, who was already sixteen years old, was more powerful and followed behind his father Sun Jian. And behind the bronze sparrow is Zhou Yu, who is about the same age as Sun Ce.

There were military generals in ancient times, and they could go to the battlefield at the age of twelve or thirteen, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu already had some abilities.

These two people are also the talents that Tongque cultivated for himself, just like Chu Tian cultivated Zhuge Liang, Liao Hua and others.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang, Yang Shilang set up schools, school officials, and looked for famous people from all over the world.

When the Battle of Yuzhou broke out, Yang Shilang secretly sent cavalry and players to snatch the talents of the Tang Dynasty in advance, including Sima Wei, the master of Shuijing.

said that Tang's power was weak, and he knew that Mr. Shui Jing was snatched away by Yang Shilang, and after learning the news, he did not turn his face with Yang Shilang.

Sima Wei was not willing to speak of Tang at all, nor was he willing to be forced to teach his disciples.

Sima Wei just did it casually.

Even if Tang still controls Sima Wei, it doesn't have much effect on it.

Mr. Shui Jing was plundered to Xiangyang, and he also did not come out.

However, Yang Shilang introduced two talents to Sima Wei, Xu Shu and Pang Tong. Pang Tong was twelve years old at this time, and with Mr. Shuijing as his teacher, he could make a difference.

Although Sima Wei was dissatisfied with Yang Shilang's forcible abduction of himself to Jingzhou, the current Jingzhou is indeed relatively peaceful, and he fell in love with Xu Shu and Pang Tong, so he was willing to stay in Xiangyang to live in seclusion and teach a few eye-catching talents.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong are looking for suitable teachers, and Sima Wei is not looking for suitable students?

Bole and Maxima are indispensable.

Unlike the young Pang Tong, who could devote himself to his studies, Xu Shu was not completely secluded, because he was also one of Yang Shilang's masterminds, and was summoned by Yang Shilang from time to time to discuss countermeasures.

Chu Zimou really went to attack Hebei, and Yuzhou only had more than 100,000 troops, mainly surrendering troops. If we raise an army to invade the Central Plains again, what does Yuan Zhi think? ”

Yang Shilang had the idea of going north to the Central Plains again.

Chutian's main army had crossed the Yellow River, once again giving the Jingzhou army a chance to peek into the Central Plains.

During this time, Xu Shu's strategic vision changed: "Don't worry. Hebei has a vast territory, how can it be so easy to attack? The lord's northern expedition to the Central Plains, Chu Zimou will definitely return to the Central Plains, and the lord will return in vain. ”

Yang Shilang was a little surprised by Xu Shu's change in strategy: "So according to Yuan Zhi's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Why don't you capture Bashu as soon as possible, gather the forces of Jingzhou and Yizhou, pacify Jiangdong, take half of the country, and then join forces with Guanzhong to eliminate Chu Zimou?"

"You mean we took the lead in unifying the south of the Yangtze River?"

"Exactly. Yizhou Mu Liu Yan made more than 1,000 cars to ride the public opinion, wanting to be the emperor, and there was a disease. I tried to ask Mr. Yu Shuijing, and Mr. Shuijing said that Liu Yan's life will not be long. Hanzhong Zhang Dao fought with it all the year round, and it relied on the alien Liu An to guard against Zhang Dao, and the perennial war continued, and the people of Bashu suffered for a long time. ”

"As long as the lord hoards soldiers and horses in Jiangling, he will buy those who are dissatisfied with Liu Yan in Yizhou. Then by surprise, attack Yizhou, day and night troops, there are external troubles, internal worries, Yizhou soon became owned by the lord. ”

"One year to set the West Shu, three years to the east of the Jiang, perhaps, Chu Zimou has not pacified Hebei."

"There are tigers in the north. Chu Zimou is located in the Central Plains, a place of four wars, Nanyang said that Tang and Jiangdong Tongque will not miss this opportunity. For Tang, he will not be willing to lose Yuzhou. For the copper sparrow, Huainan is a battleground. ”

"And the lord's Jingzhou, there is no external trouble, there is said in the north that Tang guards against Chu Zimou, and there is Huang Zu in the east to guard Jiangxia, it is the autumn of rapid expansion, how can you miss it?"

Xu Shu's remarks made Yang Shilang unmoved.

It is too difficult to crusade against the Central Plains and want to cut a piece of meat from Chu Zimou.

On the contrary, Liu Yan in Yizhou has not been very strong, and there are many internal contradictions in Yizhou, because Liu Yan is an outsider, and the local families in Yizhou may not all support Liu Yan.

There is also Zhang Dao in Hanzhong, who has never given up attacking Yizhou.

"I will order Tang to attack Bowang, so that Chu Zimou can not concentrate on attacking Hebei, and then we will prepare for half a year, and then take half a year to capture Yizhou."

After Yang Shilang's thinking was opened by Xu Shu, he had a bigger plan in his mind.

If before Chutian unifies the north, he takes the lead in unifying the south, and then unites some separatist princes in the north, it may not be impossible to succeed.

The struggle for hegemony in the north was far more tragic than in the south, and the great princes fought fiercely.

It's not that Chutian's expansion speed is not fast enough, but it is located in the land of the four wars in the Central Plains, and every prince has to beat it again.

When Cao Cao rose in the Central Plains, he beat the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, the Southern Xiongnu, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and Zhang Xiu......

The same is true for Chu Tian.

This has more to do with the position of the power.

If Chu Tian is placed in a relatively comfortable place, the speed of expansion will be faster.

Yang Shilang is to the south and faces relatively little resistance.

"If you want to take Yizhou, I think of one person."

Yang Shilang was thoughtful.

Xu Shu was also a little curious: "Who is the lord talking about?" ”

"Gan Ning, Gan Xingba."

……

"Yang Shilang asked me to send troops to attack Bowang."

It is said that after Tang lost Yuzhou, he indulged in wine every day, until Chutian led the army to cross the Yellow River, and Yang Shilang sent it to attack Yuzhou, saying that Tang returned to normal.

Guo Ziyi, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong and others were originally worried that Tang would completely sink because of the defeat in the Battle of Yuzhou.

But now, it seems, their lord has not changed.

Guo Ziyi asked tentatively, "What about the Lord's will?" ”

said that Tang's eyes gradually sharpened: "We can fight, but we have to borrow troops from Jingzhou, at least 50,000." The Bowang defenders are Xiahoudun and Li Dian, but Er'er, compared with you, it is far behind! ”

"Finally have a chance to recapture Yuzhou!"

The generals are gearing up, and the Central Plains War is too much for their group of arrogant generals. They lost the entire state of Yuzhou.

said that Tang stretched out his hand to stop the generals: "This may be our last chance, we can't keep sending people under the fence." ”

……

The princes of Guannai fought for the Central Plains, and in Jiaozhou, which was further south, the pastor of Jiaozhou, Defa, the pastor of Jiaozhou, gathered Jiaozhou troops and prepared to crusade against the monkeys of Annam.

Like the Goryeo Kingdom, there were only two lords left, and the lords in the north of the Goryeo Kingdom were strong and repeatedly provoked Jiaozhou.

Although Wang Defa had no sense of presence among the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he secretly accumulated strength, including the famous general Zheng Chenggong and a group of military generals, preparing to expand southward.

The Annam monkey that jumped up and down in front of him angered him.

"The Great Yue Kingdom was originally a part of Jiaozhou in ancient times, but the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were separated, and now, the Great Yue Kingdom should return to the jurisdiction of our Jiaozhou."

Wang Defa worshiped Zheng Chenggong as the governor of the navy and attacked the Dayue Kingdom by sea, and worshiped Li Dingguo (the general of the Southern Ming Dynasty) as the governor of the infantry army and Fu Youde (the founding general of the early Ming Dynasty) as the governor of the Ma army, and attacked the Dayue Kingdom by land.

The Great Yue Kingdom is shaking!

The Han Empire is simply crazy, not only is there a war inside, but the princes of the Quartet are still actively expanding outward!

Liaodong Taishou Mingguan drove straight into the country with half of Youzhou's troops, so that the Goryeo Kingdom was in a desperate situation of almost annihilation!

Defa, the shepherd king of Jiaozhou, declared war on the country of Dayue with the strength of a state in Jiaozhou, and the soldiers attacked in two ways!

Not only them, but Huo'an, the capital of the Western Regions, has already marched into Central Asia.

When the Han army arrived, all the small countries that submitted to Huo'an along the way greeted them and took out food to feed the Han army.

Although these small countries are placed in the Central Plains, and the size of any prince is dozens or even hundreds of times that of them, they are also a force to be reckoned with.

Hoan is the king of kings in the Western Regions—if those small nations can be called kings.

The kingdom that was destroyed by Huo An this time was the famous Dawan Kingdom in history.

The king of Dawan was killed by Huo Qubing in the war, and his head was hung at the gate of Dawan City, which made everyone in Dawan panic.

"This is the throne of the Great Wan Kingdom? It doesn't look like it's worth a lot of money. ”

Huo An sat on the throne of Dawan Kingdom, and the nobles of Dawan knelt in front of Huo An obediently.

Huo Quzhi stood beside Huo An, his sharp eyes swept over this group of Dawan nobles, and the Dawan nobles were even more respectful and regarded them as gods.

One of the nobles said in a trembling tone, "King, we are willing to take out all the good horses and let you choose, and provide you with food......

"Do you think that's enough?"

"What more do you want, Wang?"

The nobles of the Great Wan Kingdom were not only afraid, but also dissatisfied with Huo An's greed.

The only thing that Dawan can get his hands on in the Fergana Basin is war horses and grain.

"In addition to war horses and food, I want three things. First, your cities are to be managed by officials I have set up to serve as a bridgehead for my attacks on the Seljuk Empire and the kingdom of Khorezm. ”

"King, you want to attack the Seljuk Empire and Khorezm......?!"

The nobles of the Great Wan Kingdom felt incomprehensible for Huo An's madness.

Huo An integrated the countries of the Western Regions and went so far as to attack the two major powers of Central Asia at the same time.

In the eyes of the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom, this is simply unimaginable.

Both the Seljuk Empire and the Khorezm Kingdom once dominated Central Asia, and their spheres of influence even reached West Asia, and there may be emperor-level heroes.

These two civilizations are not on the same level as the Great Wan Kingdom.

"Second, wine."

"Third, people. All the Dawan people are loyal to me, pay taxes to me, raise horses and fight for me. Otherwise, it's a dead end! ”

The nobles of the Dawan Kingdom were trembling, they were not the opponents of the Western Regions at all.

And Huo An is just a prince of the Han Empire!

Huo An got up, and all the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom buried their heads, not daring to look at Huo An.

Only one of the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom said: "The general is tormented, and he is willing to follow the king and crusade against the Seljuk Empire and the Khorezm Kingdom!" ”

"Fried?"

Huo An looked at the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom who were loyal to him, and the force was actually above 90.

"Very good, in the future, you will join my Western Regions Protectorate, serve me, and build a great empire across Central Asia and the Western Regions."

Huo An's ambition made a small number of martial Dawan nobles follow him.

People gather like like, and crazy people tend to attract people of the same kind to join.

The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions lack commander-type generals, but there are many fierce generals with high military strength. In order to increase his power, Huo An marched into Central Asia, so among the princes of the Han Empire, the number of servant troops was the largest.

"My lord, something is wrong."

Wang Xuance, a civil minister who accompanied the army, hurriedly followed his steps.

"I'm planning to continue my expedition to the west, what's going on?"

Huo An gathered a large army, and subdued part of the soldiers and horses of the Dawan Kingdom, and will attack the Khorezm Kingdom, but seeing that Wang Xuance was very anxious, he knew that things had changed.

Wang Xuance hurriedly said: "The Wusun nobles who have surrendered to us report urgently that the Wusun Kingdom is being attacked by a cavalry of unknown origin, and 20,000 Wusun cavalry have been wiped out!" ”

"Cavalry of unknown origin? Could it be ......" Huo An gritted his teeth at the thought of a terrible enemy, "Maybe it's the cavalry of the Mongol Empire, how did they come to the Western Regions." This time it's troublesome...... Order the defenders of Wusun to hold out, and I will personally go to save Wusun! ”

"What about the crusade against the Seljuk Empire?"

"Put it on hold for the time being, and then try to go west in the future."
