Chapter 426: Yuzhang's dilemma
Jia Nian's thoughts quickly reversed, and the main task of the heroes in this period was to grab land and seize the states and counties of the imperial court. And those state pastors and Taishou can only give in to each other, because this is the general trend, the unstoppable general trend. For example, the soldiers of the heroes, such as the bandits who are in turmoil in various places, and the erosion of financial revenues have to make them compromise.
If there is a lower limit, it will always be challenged by the lower limit, and then swallow it in one bite, and the horn of the troubled times has sounded, and it is time for you to join in this chase.
It's just that the enemy in front of him is Yuan Shu, who is proud of the spring breeze and is at the head of the group, and the Sun group under his command, can he really beat it? Even if there are Lu Su, Liu Ye, Lu Meng, Gan Ning and Deng Dang, but in the face of Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others, as well as Yuan Shu's strong military and financial resources, manpower can be described as a hellish level of difficulty.
Perhaps only the complete separation of Yuan Shu and Sun Ce from Germany is the safest strategy.
This thought flashed through his mind, Jia Nian turned around and closed the window and walked in the direction of the desk, and then put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Lu Su walked in.
"The Lord"
"News has just come from Jingzhou that Liu Biao refuses to ally with our Yuzhang County, but agrees to non-aggression within three years."
Lu Su said to Jia Nian with a complicated mood, Yuzhang is only a county after all, and the status disparity is too big compared to the entire Jingzhou. With such a result, it can be said that Liu Ye has completed the task, after all, with this agreement as a premise, as long as the lord takes Yangzhou, then the alliance is a matter of course.
Listening to Lu Su's reply, Jia Nian quickly sorted out the news he got today.
Seeing that Jia Nian was silent, Lu Su continued.
"Unless the lord promises to act as a subsidiary force of Liu Jingzhou and resist the attack from Jiangnan, it will be in vain to blindly force the alliance"
"After all, the status of the two sides is not equal, even if Yuzhang County is prosperous, it is just a county after all"
Jia Nian nodded slowly at Lu Su, agreeing with this sentence. Iron must be hard in the end, and the rest are foreign aid, which is gratifying to be able to ask for, but there is nothing to be sorry for if you can't ask for it.
And judging from the news learned from the bamboo slips, Liu Biao and Jiaozhou Mu Zhang Jin have a feud, and the two sides are fighting fiercely at the junction. It is no wonder that historical records record that Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places did not act in a series of major events.
The wealthy family is a reason, foreign enemies are a reason, the masters of Jing and Yang are also a reason, and Jiaozhou is not a reason.
"Not long ago, I received news from Jia Ying from Shouchun, Yuan Shu summoned the six counties of Yangzhou as the pastor of Yangzhou, and discussed the attack on Shanyue three days later."
"And send a messenger to Lujiang, and strictly order Lujiang County Taishou Lu Kang to go"
After that, Yuan Shu ordered his general Sun Ce to raise 5,000 troops to suppress the Lujiang River. According to the exact news from the shadow guard, when Sun Ce sent out his troops, Yuan Shu had promised him the position of the Taishou of Lujiang."
Lu Su said to Jia Nian, his tone was a little heavy. Yuan Shu now has the land of the four counties, and the most prosperous Shouchun is in his hands, and there is Xuzhou as an ally close at hand, the elite soldiers of the Sun clan think that they are wings, so how can they resist such a powerful land with only one county in Yuzhang? Even if Lujiang is added, it is still far from enough.
"In order to prevent accidents, Ji Lingtun Bing Jianye has more than 10,000 elite soldiers to control the land of Danyang and Wu counties, and the soldiers are directed at Yuzhang"
"Qiao Ruitun has 5,000 soldiers in Huiji, and he is a reinforcement for Ji Ling"
Jia Nian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words Qiao Rui, showing a look of disbelief, looking at the handwriting that suddenly appeared, he looked a little crying and laughing. Qiao Guolao actually became Qiao Rui, Qiao Rui, the general under Yuan Shu? It's terrifying, isn't it? What is this? In the future, the father-in-law beats his son-in-law.
Seeing the change in Jia Nian's expression, Lu Su shouted.
"The Lord"
"How did Qiao Guolao become Qiao Rui?"
"Elder is just an honorific title"
Lu Su said to Jia Nian, and then seemed to think of another thing, his eyes flickered and stopped.
Jia Nian noticed the change in Lu Su and asked him.
"There is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it"
"Two years ago, Yuan Shu recruited Qiao Rui in the name of Runan Taishou, Qiao Rui wanted to take the main mother and the main mother's sister to Yuan Shu's army, but was urgently intercepted by the Taishou after learning about it, which failed to make him wish. A few months ago, with Yuan Shu entering Yangzhou, there was news that Qiao Rui admired Sun Ce's bearing and Zhou Yu's talent, and wanted to marry the two daughters to him."
"It seems that Qiao Rui has regarded me as a dry bone on the side of the road"
Jia Nian sighed slightly, but then a wave of anger spread from the bottom of his heart. Although Da Qiao's name is indeed thunderous, he also has a marriage contract with her. But after all, it is the convenience given by the Beetle and the accessory brought by the identity. I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the thoughts in my heart have long faded. It's just that Qiao Rui's contempt for this move is a great insult.
"After being informed of this by Lu Taishou two years ago, we immediately sent Jia Wu to Qiao Mansion with a hundred Jia private soldiers, and now we are stationed outside the mansion."
"And Qiaofu has moved from Shu County to Anhui County, so this situation will not happen again"
Lu Su assured Jia Nian, thinking of the scene that happened two years ago, he was still a little afraid. After all, from the mouths of Jia Wu and others, I learned that this paper marriage contract was the most important thing for the father-in-law before his death. If the breach of the contract happens, it will be a great humiliation for the entire Yuzhang County.
Moreover, the marriage contract is almost the same as marriage, but because the time for marriage has not yet arrived. The lord has neither wives nor concubines nor descendants, and the honor and disgrace of the whole county are attributed to one person, and this matter should be the first priority. If Qiao Rui dares to act recklessly, then what awaits is the anger of Yuzhang's millions of people and more than 10,000 elite soldiers.
Jia Nian looked at Lu Su's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, so he could only divert this topic.
"This matter was handled very well"
"Now that the war between Jing and Jiaozhou is spreading, Liu Biao is watching from the wall, and all parts of the Central Plains are too busy to take care of themselves. Yuan Shu took advantage of the situation and took a two-pronged approach to annex Yangzhou, where will my Yuzhang County go? ”
The voice fell in Lu Su's ears, followed by a silence.
Yuan Shu has 30,000 elite soldiers, all of whom are 7th level and look down on the six counties of Yangzhou.
Although Yuzhang County has also promoted 10,000 soldiers and horses to the 7th rank after more than two years, it is still unable to catch it in the face of 30,000 soldiers and horses. Even if you add the Lu Meng's troops who are gathered in the mountains, it is far from enough, and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Shouchun are on the side, even if they have the heart, they dare not move.
It's a crisis, but it's also a balance. Even if this balance is a little fragile, it also shows from another aspect that Yuzhang actually has the strength to fight a war.
For Yuzhang County, the victory or defeat is not in Lujiang County in the north, but in the south of the Yangtze River, so the next strategy is about to come out.
