Zhang Zhao's arrival did bring great changes to Sun Ce's camp: the mountains of government affairs documents sent from all over Danyang County were cleaned up by Zhang Zhao in less than three days; At the same time, the transportation of grain and relief in various places was orderly, and the soldiers in the battalion had rules to follow for training and resting, but in a few days, this miscellaneous army platter team had taken on a new look and greatly increased its strength.

However, there are too many affairs, and naturally some people want to see that this new civil official is not pleasing to the eye, such as Cheng Pu. In terms of age, Zhang Zhao and Cheng Pu are almost the same, but in terms of qualifications, Cheng Pu thinks that no one can compare to him. So before leaving the battle that day, Cheng Pu deliberately took a detour, came to the camp tent of Zhang Zhao's office, and slammed the saber on his waist on Zhang Zhao's case. The saber was quite heavy, and the bamboo slips and pen and ink on the case jumped up, and the ink splashed, spilling Zhang Zhao's body.

"Sir claims to be proficient in military and political affairs, can you sharpen my saber?" Cheng Pu raised his head and stared at Zhang Zhao, his expression was disdainful.

Zhang Zhao smiled, calmly wiped away the ink splashed on the case with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "The saber is to the general, like the minions to the tiger, if you don't sharpen, it will be difficult to bite the prey." The general didn't sharpen his saber before going into battle, but he can still be called a good fighter? ”

was ridiculed by Zhang Zhao like this, and Cheng Pu was speechless. In fact, he had already sharpened this saber, and now he asked Zhang Zhao to help him sharpen it again, obviously trying to deliberately embarrass him. But he had already spoken, and it was difficult to change his words, so he had to leave with his saber in his hand.

Seeing Cheng Pu leave, Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that he knows in his heart that if he wants to convince the public, he can't just rely on clever tongues, he must have a commensurate status. At present, although he helps Sun Ce to act as an agent for important military and political affairs, he does not have an official position, and this situation obviously cannot last long.

Zhang Zhao secretly decided that in order for Sun Ce to truly recognize his ability, he had to do something big for the Sun family to solve Sun Ce's urgent needs.

Needless to say, what Sun Ce is most concerned about in front of him is the safety of his mother and younger siblings. Now Liu Miao occupies Qu'a, Wang Lang occupies Huiji, just surround Wu County in the east, and Qu'a, where Liu Miao is located, is only more than 300 miles away from Wu County. Once Liu Miao has a bad heart and sends troops to attack Wu County, Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan Shangxiang will fall into dire straits.

If he can help Sun Ce defeat Liu Xuan and rescue Mrs. Wu, it will be a great achievement, and it will also convince Sun Ce's generals. However, the road from Danyang to Wujun was not easy to walk, and the reason why Sun Ce pressed his mind and did not send troops was because there was a moat across the road - Zhenze.

Zhenze is huge, from south to north, from east to west, all of which are 200 miles away, much bigger than Chaohu Lake. Legend has it that when Dayu ruled the water in Wu, the canal three rivers and five lakes, all the floods were stored here, became Daze, so that there are waves on the lake all the year round, and when the weather is bad, there will even be storms like the sea storms, overturning the fishing boats. If ordinary people want to go from Danyang to Wu County, most of them will detour Qu'a by land and then go south. Therefore, Qu'a, which Liu Miao occupied, became a piece of fish in Sun Ce's throat.

If he attacked Qu'a from Danyang to the east, it was difficult to guarantee that Liu Miao would not flee south, occupy Wu County, hold his mother and brother hostage, and threaten himself. But if you let it go, there are thousands of waves between yourself and Wu County, and it is difficult to cross. Sun Ce thought that his scalp was numb, but he didn't come up with a solution.

It was day and night, Sun Ce and Da Qiao went through the art of war together, looking for a way to cross the river and attack. Seeing that Da Qiao saw it very quickly, Sun Ce couldn't help but quip: "I didn't expect my wife to be so powerful, so familiar with military books, marry you, and those veterans under my account can rest?" ”

Listening to Sun Ce's teasing, Da Qiao threw away the military book, got up and walked back to the dressing table, untied his hair, and said angrily: "I know that you are worried about your mother-in-law and younger siblings, so you are kind enough to help you, but you are not ridiculed." ”

Sun Ce stepped forward, held Da Qiao's thin shoulders and said with a smile: "How dare I ridicule Madame, I'm most afraid that you will be angry." ”

A pair of beautiful people are reflected in the bronze mirror, and the phoenix is harmonious, and the match is very. Sun Ce sat behind Da Qiao and hugged her tightly in his arms: "I'm very worried about your mother-in-law, but if you are rashly aggressive, you will fall into a trap and be wiped out." Now that I am stationed here, Liu Miao does not dare to march blindly, for fear that I will outflank him from the rear and catch him off guard. In short, it is not possible to move now, and it is even more difficult to act blindly. But you don't have to think about it, just leave your troubles to me, and I'm very happy that you can be with me. ”

Obviously only nineteen years old, Sun Ce took on such a heavy burden, if it is said that before crossing the river, his life and death success or failure is only related to 2,000 soldiers, and now his every move is concerned about the net worth and life of millions of Jiangdong Li people.

But he is not only the savior of the people of Jiangdong, but also her hero, Da Qiao turned around and hugged Sun Ce's neck, leaning softly in his arms, although he didn't say a word, but he seemed to have said a thousand words.

Sun Ce's throat tightened, and he asked lightly with a smile: "Ying'er, you say, I work so hard every day, will we already have children?" ”

Da Qiao raised his eyes and said shyly: "You don't say ......."

Da Qiao's shyness made Sun Ce love it, but he knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he asked: "I see that my sister-in-law has been depressed these days, can't it be because of the injuries on her body?" ”

Da Qiao smiled helplessly: "Besides, Amon goes to recruit troops every day, and both the Jiang team and the Zhou team have to train the new army, and no one plays with Wan'er." Two days ago, she took Cai'er to fish and almost fell into the river, so scared that Cai'er didn't dare to go out with her anymore...... If Zhou Gongzi is here, Wan'er will definitely be able to stop a lot, when will he come back? ”

Speaking of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce thought of his third trick again, and was stunned for a moment, and before he could reply to Da Qiao's words, he listened to the guard at the door: "Report!" Major General, Mr. Zhang asks to see you. ”

Zhang Zhao missed the night to ask for a meeting, there must be something important, Sun Ce instructed Da Qiao a few words, and hurried to the account.

Zhang Zhao was already waiting in the tent, and when he saw Sun Ce, he went straight in: "The young general has been worried recently, but he is worried about the affairs of the high hall?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhao suddenly saw through his thoughts, Sun Ce sighed: "Mr. still knows me." Gong Jin is not here, you are the most relied on wisdom trust for me, please give me advice. ”

Zhang Zhaoli said: "Don't dare." In fact, the major general does not need to worry. Although Liu Miao was an enemy of the general, he was not a bandit. As a member of the Han family and filial piety, the most important thing is etiquette and righteousness, and he will not attack women and children in vain. Now the post of Wujun Taishou is occupied by Xu Gong, who persecuts famous people and is deeply disgusted by the Jiangdong scholars. General Zhu Zhi was once promoted to filial piety, and he was also a veteran general who had followed Lord Lingzun in the past, why didn't the young general go to the imperial court, ask Zhu Zhi to be the Taishou of Wu County, and then allocate an army to him, so that he could enter Wu County from Qiantang, and he could replace Xu Gong in the name of righteousness. Even if Xu Gong doesn't comply, compared to Liu Xuan, it is not easy to clean up. This move can not only ensure the safety of the young general's senior cousins, but also win the hearts of the Jiangdong scholars, and also paralyze Liu Xuan, paving the way for the major general's next march to the crusade. ”

Hearing about Zhang Zhao's plan, Sun Ce realized something, but he was puzzled again: "Sir's plan is very good, but why don't I want to take Wu Jun first?" But Liu Miao is still in Qu'a to support the self-respect, tiger-eyed, if we know that we will go south to Wu County, we will definitely send heavy troops to attack Danyang. And the road from Danyang to Wujun, Zhenze in the north, Zhejiang in the south, passing through Guxiang, Wucheng and other places, are all heavy mountain passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the lone army is deep, but I am afraid that the risk is too great. Even if he can get lucky, if he loses Danyang County and has no rear support, won't he be trapped in a cage? ”

What Sun Ce said is indeed true, Wu County is far away from the sea, it is a land of four stops, abandoning the inland and occupying the border fortress has always been a taboo in ancient and modern war. Moreover, the cultivated land and agricultural products of Wu County are far less abundant than those of Danyang County, and the supply of grain and grass is even more problematic. But Zhang Zhao didn't think so, and said with a smile: "Young General, it's man-made." If we divide the army into two and send troops at the same time, all the way to fight Wu County, all the way to Qu'a, what do you think? ”

"No", Sun Ce didn't think of such a plan, but Wu Jun and Qu A both had heavy troops, "Divide the troops into two ways, General Zhu may defeat Xu Gong, but Liu Xuan is really difficult to break the ......"

"A few days ago, the major general told me that your best friend Zhou Yu may bring troops to help you, but is there such a thing?"

Sun Ce was silent for a moment, took out the brocade in his arms, opened it, and handed it to Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao bowed his hand, opened the brocade and took a look, only to see that the huge blank satin only had three big characters written on it, and nothing else. Zhang Zhao couldn't help but wonder and asked Sun Ce: "Didn't Lord Zhou agree on a date to meet?" ”

Sun Ce shook his head and smiled: "There are only these three words." ”

Zhang Zhao was puzzled, Liangxiang was speechless, although he had never met Zhou Yu, he had already heard of his name, how could such a handsome and well-known Jiangzuo be so inexplicable?
