Seeing other legions gearing up and adding imports. A posture of doing a big job, when I arrived at Zhangliao in Xuzhou, it was "the pot does not sound, the scoop does not touch", it seems that he is ready to sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and sit at the city gate to watch the scenery.

This is not like Zhang Wenyuan's usual style, it is really too different.

So what is Zhang Liao able to be so calm, and even hide in the room with Pang Tong and cover his mouth when he has nothing to do?

It turned out that the mastermind who plotted to assassinate Sun Jian had been found, and it turned out to be Yuan Shu hiding in Nanyang. Sun Jian and his two sons are now very angry, and they are ready to forcibly attack Nanyang from the direction of Yuzhou, catch the old thief Yuan Shu and go back to Jiangdong to light the sky lantern!

For such a big matter, Sun Jian naturally wanted to be separated from a river first, and now Zhang Liao, who is still cooperating with his second youngest son Sun Quan to play a "game" in Guangling County, will be informed. After all, there is Xiahou Yuan in the north of Yuzhou and Zhang Fei in the south, and it is too difficult to force a breakthrough until Wancheng in Nanyang.

Of course, what is more critical is that if you turn your face with Cao Liu, it will be equivalent to Jiangdong having completed the "side selection" and announcing to the world that he will follow Zhao Xing, the king of Pingxi, to the end in the future. It is still difficult to say how much risk and how much benefit Soochow will have in the future of this choice. After all, there are countless examples of "cunning rabbits die and lackeys cook" in history, and the fate of Han Xin, the former king of Hanqi, is a living example.

However, in the eyes of Sun Jian and Eastern Wu, it was better to choose to believe in Zhao Xing than to believe in the imperial court or Cao Cao and Liu Bei. First of all, according to Zhao Xing's previous methods of dealing with hostile forces, in addition to being strict when dealing with foreign races, the king of Pingxi never killed all the Han officials when dealing with them, and he had to leave a way out for people, and he had a clear distinction between public and private, and would not retaliate with his own interests. Compared with Zhao Xing's political enemies, Soochow now has a much higher status, so the end will definitely not be worse than Gongsun Zhan.

Secondly, based on the results of repeated deductions by strategists such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Gu Yong, Zhao Xing and the Jin State will win a complete victory in the upcoming battle against the deer, while the central imperial court, Yizhou Sima Shi, Jingzhou Liu Biao, and Jiangdong will be unable to stop Zhao Xing's pace and determination to unify Kyushu. Since he guessed the size, Jiangdong naturally will not give up his ready-made allies and choose to follow the imperial court to the end, this is a "bet" that is vital to life and death, once the bet is wrong, there is no chance to turn the tables.

In the end, Zhao Xing agreed to officially announce to the world that his eldest son Zhao Zhenbang would marry Sun's eldest daughter Ren as his wife. This matter seems simple, but it unmistakably conveys to Sun Jian a goodwill signal that Zhao Xing is willing to accept Soochow. Just like Lu Su's analysis at the beginning, the first wife of Zhao Xing's eldest son Zhao Zhenbang is likely to be the future queen, which is a great relationship and protection. As long as the Jiangdong Sun family does not want their relatives to interfere in politics and seek to seize the world of the Zhao family in the future, then the hope that they will share the fruits of the "revolutionary victory" with the Zhao family is very great.

At the beginning, Zhao Zhenbang pretended to be Zhuge Jin's little butler, and he had already met Sun's father and son and Jiangdong civil and military staff. After the Shouchun incident, Zhao Zhenbang went to the Northeast, and Lu Su told Sun Jian that Zhuge Yi, who made a big fuss in Shouchun City, was his future good son-in-law, and Sun Jian was so happy at that time that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. It is not easy to find a son-in-law who has a background, looks and ability, the key is that Zhao Zhenbang obviously ate Sun Shangxiang to death, Sun Jianke knows that his baby daughter is easy to be subdued.

To sum up various reasons, Dongwu Tiexin has strengthened its determination to go with Zhao Xing, and now the two sides have reached the point of preparing for joint action. As the plenipotentiary representative of the Jin State in this regard and the commander-in-chief of the entire Xuzhou battlefield, the "smiling tiger" Zhang Liao not only gave out an extra 100,000 Jiangdong troops as reinforcements out of thin air, but also got a large number of generals who can fight well, especially young generals like Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, Zhu Heng and other young generals, which are all rare talents, how can you teach Zhang Liao how to hold back and not laugh secretly?

Although Zhang Liao was so happy, he didn't forget to do business. With the high-level staff Pang Tong and the wise general Xu Shu on the side to plan for him, Zhang Liao quickly decided on a plan to "plan the plan" and calculate the strategy of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Fei in Yuzhou.

Because Xuzhou and Wuzhou now need joint action, the Soochow side also has to send a leader and responsible person. At the beginning, Sun Quan took 30,000 Jiangdong soldiers across the river and rushed into Guangling County, which made everyone feel that Jiangdong was going to fight hard with the Jin State. But the fake play can never come true, and it will inevitably make people see the flaws after a long time, so Sun Jian transferred Sun Ce back from the south and ordered him to serve as the commander of the Wuzhou army on the Jiangbei Road, and let Sun Ce lead 30,000 soldiers and horses across the river to support Sun Quan.

Sun Ce, who had long learned that his father was almost assassinated, had a very strong idea of avenging his father, so when he knew that the murderer behind the scenes was Nanyang Yuan Shu, he immediately asked Sun Jian for his life, asking to lead a cavalry force to break through the Yuzhou defense line, take Nanyang Yuan Shu's lair, and vow to bring Yuan Highway's head back to Jiangdong.

Sun Jian was very moved by his son's fierce loyalty, but he would not see Sun Ce in danger alone, so he asked Sun Ce to cross the river to meet Zhang Liao and plot revenge with Zhang Liao. Of course, nominally, Sun Ce crossed the river to Xuzhou to find Zhang Liao's bad luck, whether the outside world believes it or not, the alliance and marriage between Jiangdong and Jin have not yet been disclosed, and this drama will continue to be performed.

After seeing Zhang Liao, Sun Ce was somewhat unconvinced -- why did Jiangdong's 60,000 soldiers and horses obey Zhang Liao's unified dispatch and command of Zhang Liao, who also had only 60,000 troops, in everything? Of course, Sun Ce was not the kind of reckless person, although he was not convinced in his heart, he did not directly contradict Zhang Liao, so that Zhang Liao could not come to the stage. But what kind of person Zhang Liao is, how can he not see that Sun Ce is unconvinced? Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Li Tiezhu, who are standing behind Zhang Liao, are what kind of cattle people, how can they not see that Zhou Yu, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and others brought by Sun Ce are also not very peaceful?

Okay, since everyone is looking at mung beans, they are more energetic, if they don't separate a big brother and two brothers, it will be very dangerous to go to the battlefield in the future. Therefore, after the two sides deliberately talked about the temptation, everyone made a pre-cooperation test agreement.

Under the guise of turning against each other, the two armies will carry out three battles in Guangling County in the next half a month, except for the weapons and arrows that have removed the iron weapons, the rest are set according to the real battlefield decisive battle, even if it will not cause the real death of personnel, but after three competitions, it is estimated that many soldiers will still be injured and recuperate.

There is no way, the Jiangdong generals have never had the opportunity to fight with the Jin army, and they are always a little unconvinced, if they are not convinced, what else can Zhang Liao, the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, do?
