The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 237 The Ambitious Sun Quan (for Subscription)
In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the past few days, almost all counties in Danyang have received letters from Zhuge Liang, and the whole Danyang is in turmoil for a while.

Even several county magistrates closer to Shicheng have already surrendered one after another, and most of the rest are waiting for Jiangdong's response. If the Jiangdong Sun family sits by and watches, they will probably surrender too.

As for Wujun, after learning that Zhang Xiu used troops to take down Niuzhu, he was extremely panicked, but Sun Ce was not in Wujun, so the Sun family could only organize soldiers while waiting quietly.

But Pan Zhang led the camp, and after some tellings, Han Dang was convinced, and immediately took [-] fine armor out of the city, preparing to take Niuzhu back.

Just leave the deputy general to command 5000 people to defend.

And that night, when Hefei fell, Pan Zhang Gaoshun, together with Zhang Liao and Liu Ye, took Hefei directly from inside and outside, and it was too late when Han Dang knew about it.

Han Dang was angry and annoyed, he didn't bring food with him when he went out, and now that Hefei was occupied, he was already alone, unless he could take down Niuzhu or Hefei.

However, if the soldiers have no food, they will collapse, and within three days they will inevitably turn into a pan of loose sand.

Han Dang was not reconciled, and immediately led his army to turn around and return, intending to capture Hefei. Otherwise, what face would he have to face Sun Ce?
It's just that Hefei has been repaired by him to be extremely strong, and he doesn't have large siege equipment, so trying to take Hefei is tantamount to nonsense.

At this time, in Wu County.

Everyone in Wujun was panicked.

Up to the officials and gentry, down to the common people.

Everyone has a shadow in their hearts. After all, the Jingzhou soldiers suddenly launched an attack, and they have captured Niuzhu with lightning speed and opened the gate of Yangzhou.

It is estimated that the invaders from Jingzhou will formally invade Wu County in a short time.

In Wujun's general's mansion, Wu Guotai is in charge.

Wu Guotai has a great status in Jiangdong. At this time, she is working on government affairs in person at an early age. There is no way, Jiangdong is too chaotic at this time.

And for some reason, her eyelids have been twitching in the past few days, and she always feels that something bad is happening.

Under the hall, on both sides.

There are not many military generals, only He Qi and others have some famous names.However, the literati had many great talents, such as Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, etc. Sun Quan was also in the hall.

At this time, Zhang Zhao strode out with a dignified voice, "Old lady, now that Zhang Xiu's troops are approaching the city, they will soon overwhelm the army, so it is better to prepare in advance."

"The lord has not replied yet, and the people in Danyang are already in panic, and many county magistrates have taken refuge. I'm afraid I'll wait any longer."

Zhang Zhao didn't explain it, but the implication was that he couldn't wait any longer, and Danyang would be gone if he waited.Once Danyang is gone, only Wujun and Kuaiji will be left with his Jiangdong foundation.

"Old lady, the enemy army has captured the Niuzhu water village, and they can cross the south of the Yangtze River at any time. Now the Pengze water village is useless, and the master of the letter must return to Wu County as soon as possible."

Zhang Hong also spoke anxiously.

Wu Guotai's slightly haggard face showed a little powerlessness, what can she do now?She tried her best to appease her, but Zhang Xiu's prestige made countless people daunted.

It is even said that among the dozens of literati in the hall, more than half of them have already begun to secretly communicate with Zhuge Liang, but she is unwilling to point it out, because Wu Jun has lost even the last hope of tearing her face.

At the moment, she can only hope that Sun Ce can bring good news.

But at this time, before she could answer, a soldier rushed in from the door, and he shouted anxiously, "Da, the governor is back!"

After the words fell, everyone in the hall looked out of the mansion together.

Zhou Yu is their last hope. Whether or not Wu Jun can be stabilized depends entirely on Zhou Yu.

Looking at the majestic Zhou Yu, everyone could read a trace of worry from his gloomy face, because Zhou Yu, who has always been elegant and easy-going, now looked terribly gloomy.

Without him, Zhou Yu discovered on the way that Zhuge Liang had also laid out Jiujiang and captured Niuzhu. These two moves directly hit Jiangdong's weakness, and it was difficult to turn over.

"Gong Jin, you are back. Zhang Xiu is cunning and changeable, and his voice strikes east and west. Taking advantage of our army's unpreparedness, he captured Niuzhu Water Village in one fell swoop."

"Now there are rumors and gossips everywhere in Wu County, Jingzhou Bingyong has also begun to station troops in Niuzhu, I am afraid that Jiangdong will be captured in a few days." Wu Guotai said nervously.

"Is it all the same?" Zhou Yu mumbled self-deprecatingly. If it was just like this, he wouldn't feel powerless. The key is that this person has two sides.

"Gongjin, how is Pengze Water Village? Bofu didn't come back with you?" Wu Guotai looked around and saw that Zhou Yu was only followed by Ling Cao and Zhou Tai, and the two looked down.

"Bo, Bo Fu him, he can't come back."

When Zhou Yu said this, it seemed as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Back, can't you come back?"

There was an uproar in the hall.

Both civil and military were taken aback, some couldn't accept it.

Wu Guotai stared at her pupils even more, her expression was astonished, and her face was ashen.

Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to the expressions of the crowd. He stepped forward in twos and threes, turned to look at the crowd, drew out his sword and military talisman, and shouted:

"My lord ordered that Jiangdong should not be without a master for a day. His son Shao is still young and it is difficult to coordinate Jiangdong's major affairs. He specifically asked me to do my best to assist his second brother Sun Quan to control Jiangdong and protect the Sun family's foundation."

"Sun Quan's succession?"

In the hall, the people who were in an uproar were suddenly even more surprised that Sun Quan was allowed to succeed him?This, isn't this nonsense?
Sun Ce conquered people with his chivalry, and he was admired by both civil and military men, but how could Sun Quan be able to control Jiangdong?What's more, Jiangdong's current situation?

Sun Quan was even more taken aback, his elder brother died?He succeeded as the Lord of Jiangdong?

Some dreams, his expression was in a trance, he should be sad when his elder brother died, but why did he feel like he wanted to cry up to the sky at this moment?

Is it because he has lived under the protection of Sun Ce since he was a child, and everyone compares him to Sun Ce?This also allowed him to live under the shadow of Sun Ce since he was a child.

However, he was very uncomfortable with that feeling.

Now that he is the master of Jiangdong, he must work hard to become stronger.

But when he thinks that Zhang Xiu will attack him at any time, his head hurts a little. He must make some achievements to repel Zhang Xiu and become the master of Jiangdong.

Hearing the unabashed discussions of the people in the hall, Zhou Yu's expression turned cold, and he shouted: "Don't you all obey the lord's will?"

The discussion gradually quieted down,
Zhou Yu stepped down from the stage, bowed and saluted immediately, and shouted: "I have seen the Lord."

At the end of the speech, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong looked at each other, and then the two of them led the civil and military forces to bow together and said: "I have seen the Lord."

Although the two of them recognized the Lord, they had their own plans in their hearts.

They are all the top wise men in the world. Sun Ce's death had a great impact on Jiangdong. After all, Sun Ce is the leader of Jiangdong.

That's not to mention, the key point is that the most elite soldiers in Jiangdong are all in Pengze, and Sun Ce died in battle, which shows that most of those soldiers also lived and died in other places.

In this way, that is to say, almost all of Jiangdong's tens of thousands of elites have been lost.Pengze's water village was damaged, and the defenders in Hefei could not be contacted.

The two places are all destroyed, how can Wu County defend?You know, the garrison of Wu County is only [-], and the miscellaneous soldiers in the counties and towns in various places can only gather another [-] at most.

Zhang Xiu can eat tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Sun Ce, so how can he be afraid of these thousands of miscellaneous soldiers?I am afraid that these troops will not be able to withstand the furious blow of the Zhangxiu Army.

Sun Quan was still not used to it, although he was not old enough to be a weak crown, but he was a man of the city, humbly took the military amulet from Zhou Yu, looked at the crowd and said loudly:
"Everyone, it is my Jiangdong's sorrow that my elder brother died on the battlefield. My Sun Quan will avenge this revenge in the future."

"However, Zhang Xiu's thieves intend to attack our Jiangdong city. We should put aside our previous suspicions and work together to drive back the Jingzhou thieves and use the name of Zhuangjiangdong."

Sun Quan said a little excitedly, he asked himself that the impassioned words would definitely resonate with all the soldiers, and then he was so heartbroken that he collected a wave of loyalty points.

However, everyone looked at him like an idiot.

Even Zhou Yu sighed softly. Originally, he accepted Sun Ce because Niu Zhu was not lost, so that Han Dang's [-] elite could be brought back in time, and he was three-point sure to keep Jiangdong's foundation.

But now, even he feels powerless.

There is no way, is it possible to rely on those miscellaneous soldiers from all over the country to guard Wu County?Or temporarily recruit Koto Erlang?
He had seen the power of Zhang Xiu's personal guards and Xuanwei Army, and estimated that these soldiers could rub the miscellaneous soldiers from all over Wu County on the ground.

over and over again,
As for temporary conscription, it is estimated that in the current situation, it is already very difficult to ensure that Jiangdong will not be chaotic.

Seeing that everyone didn't cater to him, Sun Quan's expression sank, a little annoyed, but he was quite deep in the city, so he didn't show it, but looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu sighed lightly, then cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the current situation is turbulent inside and outside, and once the news of Bo Fu's death spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar."

"On my way back, I found out that nearly ten counties around Shicheng, such as Danyang, Moling, Jurong, Hushu, etc., are all under the command of Guishun Zhangxiu."

"It's hard to beat the Zhangxiu Army only by relying on the guards in Wu County." Zhou Yu said this.

Zhou Yu knew well that a clever woman can hardly cook without rice, and without soldiers, even Zhou Yu can't do anything.Whether they can tide over the current difficulties depends entirely on the Jiangdong family.

Because he knew that each of these wealthy families in Jiangdong had hundreds or even thousands of generals, and these generals had been trained for a long time.

Although it is not as good as the elite under Sun Ce, it is not weak either.If the Jiangdong family is willing to help, he still has a [-]-[-]% chance of delaying it until the next year.

He believes that the pattern will inevitably change in the coming year.

However, it may be more difficult than reaching the sky to make these old things bleed.Youdao is a dynasty that beats the family with iron, and wants them to help with all their strength, I'm afraid.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu sighed again.

This road won't work, if you really want to do it, you will only force these people back, and it is not impossible to force the palace at that time.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan felt a little reconciled. Is Zhang Xiu a god?There are tens of thousands of people in Jiangdong, but Zhou Yu said that it is difficult to shake one or two of them?
Could it be that Zhou Yu was scared out of his wits by Zhang Xiu?
Thinking of this, Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu with some dissatisfaction, encouraging others' arrogance, but destroying his own prestige.

"Gongjin, you have fought so many battles, you are physically and mentally exhausted, go down and rest first!" Sun Quan said softly, but he used this method to vent his dissatisfaction.

He had just succeeded to the throne, and these people gave him a look of embarrassment one after another. Did he really think that Sun Quan was a nirvana?

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, and glanced at Sun Quan. It was as if he had seen himself before. He underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, but ruined the entire Jiangdong.

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan ignored Zhou Yu, but looked at the many civil and military personnel in the hall, and immediately shouted: "Soldiers send clouds, wait for work with ease, soldiers are expensive and fast."

"The cunning rabbit kicking the eagle, even though he was close to death, he still tried his best. Now that Zhang Xiu hasn't arrived yet, you are all frowning, what's the point?"

Sun Quan's words made everyone feel a little ashamed.

"Zhang Zhao listened to the order. You are in charge of the three armies' food, grass, and ordnance. I want to lead the army to conquer myself. I want to see if Zhang Xiu is really superhuman."

Sun Quan shouted loudly.

"Promise!" Zhang Zhao didn't know how he felt, he glanced at Sun Quan and immediately responded.Perhaps it is young, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

After all, even his brother Sun Ce is not Zhang Xiu's opponent, so how can he, a yellow-haired boy, fight against Zhang Xiu?
"Zhang Hong listened to the order. Now that people in Jiangdong are in panic and everyone is in danger, the first thing to do is to stabilize the people's hearts. I want you to inform the counties and counties in Jiangdong."

"Let's say that my brother and Peng Ze's water village have won a great victory, and they are leading thousands of sailors straight to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou will be captured in a few days."

"Also order me to be the commander of the three armies, mobilize Jiangdong armored soldiers, and Qu'a to guard against Zhang Xiu's advance." Sun Quan thought about it.

Listening to Sun Quan's words, Zhou Yu couldn't help but look sideways.

It seems that Sun Ce is right, his younger brother does have some talents, at least he has the same ambition as Sun Ce.

But, can Zhang Xiu be defeated by just this?

Zhou Yu couldn't help smiling wryly. He seemed to be thinking of the many battles before and after that day, as well as all the strategic layouts.

"Promise!" Zhang Hong also agreed.

Maybe blocking the news and spreading the news of victory can indeed make the rule stable, but this is not a long-term solution after all, everything depends on whether it can be won.

"He Qi listens to the order, and you order two thousand soldiers to be the vanguard of our army and rush to Qu'a first." Sun Quan said loudly.

"The last general takes orders!" He Qi looked excited, he has been fighting wild monsters, that is, Shanyue, if he can fight with someone like Zhang Xiu, he will have no regrets in this life.

"Zhou Tai, Quan Rou, you two have [-] troops to follow me bravely." Sun Quan shouted again.

"No!" The two clasped their fists in response.

"Ling Cao listened to the order, and you rushed to the various counties and towns, recruited the defenders and warriors from all over the place, and as the rear army, rushed to Qu'e, there must be no mistakes."

Sun Quan was high-spirited. He felt that his life had reached a climax. He was full of confidence in this battle. He wanted everyone in Jiangdong to see that his Sun Quan was not weaker than Sun Ce.

"The last general takes orders!" Ling Cao shouted in response.

After giving the order, Sun Quan glanced at everyone, and said meaningfully: "Everyone, my elder brother treated you well when he was alive, and I still look forward to you."

Sun Quan didn't point it out, so he just mentioned it.

Then, he looked at Zhou Yu again, and said in a deep voice: "Gong Jin, after I leave, I will trouble Gong Jin to take care of Jiangdong's affairs. If someone does something that shouldn't be done, you can cut it first and then play it."

Although he didn't like Zhou Yu's style just now, he could still trust his character. After all, he and his elder brother were like brothers, and he could feel at ease with him in charge of the overall situation.

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan again, did he have anything to do with this battle?Just get him a job as a housekeeper?It really made him dumbfounded.
