Chapter 178: Attacking Sun Quan in the South

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it is not beneficial for us to seize Yizhou now."

"Now Yizhou is occupied by the south, and the climate there is completely different from that of the north."

"If you rush over, not only may you lose your troops, but both Yuan Shang and Liu Hong may be flanked from both sides."

Li Jin said.

Hearing this, Yuan Yao nodded, and sighed with some regret.

"General, how long do you think it will take for us to unify the north?"

"Will those princely forces ask Liu Hong and Yuan Shang for help?"

Yuan Yao continued to ask.

Hearing this, Li Jin pondered for a while, and then said, "One month." ”

"It only takes a month, and the north will be in our pocket."

Yuan Yao couldn't help frowning slightly when he learned that there was still a month of kung fu to unify the north.

"General, a month is a bit too long, isn't it?"

"During this period, if Sun Quan or Liu Hong calls, we won't be able to resist, right?"

Yuan Yao said with some concern.

That's what worries him the most.

A month seems a little too long.

Sensing Yuan Yao's concern, Li Jin smiled coldly in his heart.

Too much time for you?

There is a large area in the north, and the intertwining of forces here is extremely complex.

A month was already the limit of what he could do.

But although I was dissatisfied.

Li Jin still had a smile on his face, patiently explaining for Yuan Yao.

"I see..."

Yuan Yaodian nodded.

He was oversimplifying these things.

"But the general had better clear the northern forces as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes later."

Yuan Yao coughed lightly twice.

Seeing this, Li Jin had no choice but to reply perfunctorily.

After leaving the council hall, Li Jin didn't care about resting at the moment, and immediately led the army to rush and kill.

200,000 troops entered one after another from Dai County, attacking and killing other local states and counties.

What Li Jin didn't expect was that.

One by one, the princes who had sworn to fight to the end surrendered.

The surrender of this group led to an even larger rout.

It took him only twenty days to quickly occupy the entire north.

In the next ten days, Li Jin tried his best to silence all the other big families and big landlord forces in the north.

Nearly 10,000 people were killed directly.

Such a monstrous sin shook the world in an instant.

You know, this is no ordinary army casualty from an attack.

Li Jin completely attacked a group of unarmed people and killed them all.

Yangzhou.

Huiji County Hall.

When Sun Quan learned that Li Jin had killed tens of thousands of people from various families in the north, he couldn't help but be furious.

You know, I don't know how many of his brothers and friends are there!

Now they were all killed by Li Jin.

"This son is so tyrannical and unreasonable, I swear to kill you to honor my friend's spirit in the sky!"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth, and the killing intent in his eyes surged.

Zhou Yu on the side couldn't help frowning.

Brutal generals he hadn't seen before.

But Li Jin is obviously different from those brutal generals.

There was also a flash of anger in his eyes.

There is no problem in killing the power of the big family.

After all, to pacify and unify the north, those big families must be an obstacle.

But even women, children and the elderly are not spared, Li Jin is inevitable...

"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to prepare for the attack of Yuan Yao's army as soon as possible."

"After the north is pacified, Li Jin will definitely persuade Yuan Yao to lead the army to fight, maybe they are already on the road now."

Zhou Yu said.

Hearing this, Sun Quan nodded, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

He also knew the strength of Yuan Yao's army.

"At present, except for Tai Shici, the rest of the people have woken up?"

Sun Quan asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh.

Now that the army is useless, the military general is his biggest headache.

At present, there are more than 100,000 troops, and only one Tai Shi Ci who has just woken up can be regarded as a first-class general.

It is not easy for such a lineup to block the attack of Yuan Yao's army.

"Let's take one step at a time."

"You can order Tai Shi Ci to lead 100,000 troops to Lujiang County, and be sure to block the footsteps of Yuan Yao's army."

"Besides, send someone to contact... Yuan Shang and Liu Hong, and asked them if they were willing to send troops to support. ”

Sun Quan said with a little hesitation.

Although there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.

But after all, he and Yuan Yao teamed up not long ago to defeat Liu Hong and Yuan Shang.

It seems unrealistic to rush to form an alliance with someone right now.

But after thinking about it, Sun Quan can't care so much.

Pan Zhang was immediately sent to contact Liu Hong and Yuan Shang.

However, it didn't wait for Pan Zhang to leave for two days.

Sun Quan received information from the front-line spies.

Yuan Yaoqin led an army of 180,000 to kill Yangzhou!

Such news made Sun Quan's face change in an instant.

Yuan Yao's army attacked a few days earlier than he expected!

And Tai Shici, who was stationed in Danyang County, also formulated a battle plan together with Zhou Yu.

This time, they were facing not only an army of 180,000, but also an army with the ruthless Li Jin as a general.

Zhou Yu and Tai Shici had to pay attention.

And in the case of Yuan Yao's army marching in a hurry.

Basically, it only took five or six days to rush to Danyang County.

Immediately after that, without saying a word, he quickly launched an attack.

The big war came so suddenly.

So much so that many people didn't react at all.

As soon as the war began, Zhou Yu's army fell into disadvantage.

But fortunately, the 100,000-strong army firmly held every pass.

This did not let Yuan Yao's army enter.

And the news of Yuan Yao's attack on Sun Quan's army finally reached Liu Hong's hands.

Chang'an City.

Pan Zhang knelt on one knee and quietly waited for Liu Hong's response.

At this time, Liu Hongzheng frowned, constantly looking at the contents of the letter.

It's just that no one knows what he's thinking.

"Hoo ......"

Liu Hong put down the letter and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Alright, Pan Zhang, you can go back first."

"This matter is very important, and I must discuss it with the ministers and Yuan Shang."

Liu Hong said indifferently.

Hearing this, Pan Zhang nodded, then hesitated, but still spoke: "I believe you must know the truth of cold lips and teeth better than me." ”

The voice fell.

Pan Zhang turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the other party's departure, Liu Hong was thoughtful.

"Duan Xuan, inform the civil and military officials that I am going to the court."

Liu Hong commanded.

Not much.

Above the court.

Liu Hong looked at the hundreds of civil and military officials seated and told the story just now.

When everyone heard the news that Yuan Yao's army was going south to attack Sun Quan in Yangzhou, their faces couldn't help but change.

No one could have imagined that things would move so quickly.

After Yuan Yao unified the north, he didn't even lay a stable foundation, so he hurriedly attacked Sun Quan?

Is he so confident that he can conquer Yangzhou?
