Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 460 Conquering Yangzhou Plan
Liu Yu proposed to fight on two fronts, and several counselors in the room were all planning their plans and gains and losses.

At this time, Jia Xu was the first to walk to the map.

"It is not impossible to fight on two fronts."

Jia Xu pointed to the south of Yangzhou.

"Jiangdong Sun Jian still owes the lord a favor, and he can invite him to conquer Yangzhou together."

Sun Jian was once a prisoner in Chengmu, but Liu Yu did not kill him, which gave him the possibility to dominate Jiangdong, and now that Liu Yu is the regent and the court is orthodox, Sun Jian still calls himself General Polu, which shows that he still cares about the court .

"Sun Jian has always been attached to Yuan Shu. If the Jiangdong Army takes the lead in counterattacking Yangzhou, it will be able to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the uncertain generals within Yuan Shu."

Liu Yu nodded after hearing this, "The strategy of Wenhe is feasible. If we can plan to attack Yuan Shu internally, the pacification of Yangzhou will be just around the corner."

Jia Xu folded his fists and retreated, while Xun You stepped forward and pointed to the boundary of Jingzhou.

"Since we are looking for external forces, Liu Biao has been fighting with Yuan Shu all the time, so he can be an ally!"

Liu Biao is also the regent, and Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor. Liu Biao will definitely agree to send troops to show his loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

Indeed, based on Liu Yu's current conditions, Liu Biao and Sun Jian can join the conquest of Yangzhou with only one imperial edict issued by the imperial court.

But in this way, after the victory, the two families will inevitably carve up the territory of Yangzhou. Liu Yu originally wanted to take the opportunity to regain Yangzhou, so that kind of result is not what he wants to see.

Several people were resourceful and resourceful, and they all saw Liu Yu's thoughts very quickly.

"Actually, my lord, there is no need to worry about the division of Yangzhou territory between the two associations. I believe that both Jiangdong and Jingzhou border Yangzhou, so Sun Jian and Liu Biao can send troops to conquer first."

Xu Shu had a confident expression on his face, everyone was attracted by his words, Liu Yu also asked with some doubts: "What do you mean by Yuan Zhi?"

"Returning to my lord, I think that Yuan Shu's background is very good, even in the face of Sun Jian and Liu Biao's two armies, he is not powerless. Besides, the princes are more concerned about self-protection. How can Jingzhou and Jiangdong really do their best?"

"Yuan Zhi's words are reasonable! Let the three parties go to war first, and when they are at a stalemate, Luoyang will send troops to occupy most of Yangzhou with a thunderous force, so there is no need to bother to carve up Yangzhou."

Liu Yuzhi is determined to win the fertile area near Shouchun. As for the small towns and counties on the edge, let Liu Biao and Sun Jian fight for it.

"That's right, my lord held up the banner of righteousness to take down Shouchun City, but the princes were thunderous and rainy. If you don't try your best, the world will recognize who is the real guardian of the great man!"

What Xu Shu said was impassioned, both Jia Xu and Xun You applauded. At this time, Xun Yu stepped forward and pointed to the boundary of Xuzhou.

"I feel that Xuzhou can also join the ranks of the alliance!"

Jia Xu is good at using strange tricks, while Xun Yu is the best at making comprehensive arrangements. When he mentioned Xuzhou, Liu Yu immediately thought of his deep meaning.

Tao Qian didn't know that Wang Yun and the royalists had already surrendered. Mi Zhu's transfer orders would definitely be able to send away some soldiers from Xuzhou. If he could send another division to go south to Yangzhou, Mi Zhu could take down Xiapi City more easily. up.

…………

At noon that day, Chen Lin, an official from Jizhou, searched for her companions everywhere in the city.

It had been three days, and he hadn't seen Yuan Shang. At first, he thought that Yuan Shang might be lost in the bustling Luoyang, but he thought that there should be no accidents since he was accompanied by the fierce general Han Meng.

But after three days in a row, Yuan Shang and Han Meng seemed to have disappeared. At this moment, Chen Lin finally felt that something was wrong.

"It can't be that the third son offends the big shots in Luoyang City and got arrested, right?"

Chen Lin had a bad premonition, and decided to ask Kong Rong, whom she knew well, for help.

Kong Rong was originally the prefect of Beihai. Later, the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou rebelled and besieged Beihai County. He couldn't resist and had to abandon the city. Embarrassed.

So this time Kong Rong came to Luoyang not only to participate in Wenchang Yaji, he also had a more important purpose. He came to visit Situ Wangyun, and hoped to get his approval to allocate funds to rebuild Beihai County.

"What a coincidence, isn't this Master Chen!"

"Hehe, I actually came here on a special trip to find Kong Junxiu!"

Kong Rong's calligraphy and writing, because he has few talents, is diligent and studious, and he is called Junxiu along with Pingyuan Tao Qiuhong and Chen Liubianrang, so many scholars prefer to call him Kong Junxiu.

Chen Lin explained her purpose and hoped to use Kong Rong's relationship to help her find out whether her companion had been imprisoned for offending officials in the city.

Kong Rong admired Chen Lin's calligraphy and literary talent very much. That night, the two of them met in Wenchang Palace for another drink. At this time, he was about to visit Situ Wangyun, so he agreed to inquire for Chen Lin.

Kong Rong would not be able to come back for a while, so Chen Lin decided to go back to the post house to wait, but when he walked into a deserted alley, he was surrounded by a few plainly dressed guests and spies.

"you……"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Lin was held by the two arms. Just as he was about to shout for help, a secret agent whispered in his ear: "If you don't want Yuan Shang to die, sir, you'd better stop shouting!"

Upon hearing Yuan Shang's name, Chen Lin became even more frightened, wondering when did she reveal her identity.

"You... how do you know?"

"Sir, if you want to know the answer, please follow us to the lord, and he will tell you the answer!"

The spies from Kelaiju have been following Chen Lin for a long time. In order to find out whether there is a secret organization behind Chen Lin, Zhang Xiu never let his subordinates close the net.

Today is the third day. In order to find Yuan Shang, Chen Lin met all the Jizhou spies hiding in the city, and every time he left, not long after he left, the shadow guards appeared to arrest them.

In the backyard where the guest came to live, in a small black room with only a door, Yuan Shangzheng was huddled in the corner of the wall in fear.

For three days, he could only eat one sip of dry food and drink three sips of water a day, and he didn't even see a ray of sunshine.

Hunger, thirst and darkness made him feel infinite fear in his heart, and he didn't know when he could leave, which was even more painful.

The door opened with a creak, and after barely adapting to the glaring light, he finally saw clearly the person who came, it was the young man who captured him that night.

"Please let me go, as long as I return to Jizhou, I will agree to whatever you want."

Liu Yu pushed his hand away without interest.

"It's not difficult to let you go back. You only need to explain the distribution of soldiers and horses in Jizhou, the situation of food and grass reserves, and the deployment of defenses, and then you can leave safely."

"But I don't know anything about what you said!"

"Really don't know?"

Liu Yu stared at him like a fool, "Since you don't know anything, just wait to die!"

As soon as the death word came out, Yuan Shang felt his legs go limp and almost fell to the ground.

"I'm asking you once, can you draw the military deployment map of Jizhou?"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu added, "By the way, the Han Meng who was with you is about to recruit. If he speaks first, it would be useless to keep you."
