Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 350 The News That Alerted Zhu Wei
Now, although Zhu Wei has developed a torsion thunderbolt cannon based on the sketches that Zhu Wei saw on the Internet before, but due to technical reasons, he still can't exert the real power of throwing stones, and can only throw gravel in a short distance for the time being.

So if this Liu Ye can really develop the Thunderbolt Cannon, then combined with Liu Ye's Thunderbolt Cannon technology, perhaps the torsion Thunderbolt Cannon in Zhu Wei's hands can exert greater power.

In addition, Liu Ye also had a good relationship with Lu Su. If Liu Ye could be obtained, Liu Ye might be able to recruit Lu Su with his handwriting. In this way, he could get two military division-level talents from Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

This result of increasing one's own talents and weakening the enemy's talents is naturally Zhu Wei's favorite.

So the best way is to go to Lujiang County and directly eliminate or drive Liu Xun away, then Liu Ye who lives in Lujiang County will become Zhu Wei's palm.

It's a pity that this idea can only be thought of for the time being.

After all, Yuan Shu's strength is also very strong now, and Zhu Wei has just swallowed the four counties in Jingnan, and has entered a 100% hostile state with Liu Biao in Jingzhou. If he tries to provoke Yuan Shu again, it will be enemies on both sides.

At the same time, Liu Yao in Jiangdong is also because of Yuan Shu's threat, so he will let Zhu Wei grow up in Yuzhang. If Zhu Wei takes the initiative to provoke Yuan Shu and conquer Lujiang County, it is tantamount to helping Liu Yao attract Yuan Shu's goal in Jiangbei, but Liu Yao will You can develop in Jiangdong with peace of mind.

Didn't Zhu Wei make trouble for himself? At that time, Liu Yao was afraid of Zhu Wei's strength, and maybe he would also play tricks on Zhu Wei.

In fact, Liu Yao already had some secret intentions, but Zhu Wei still tolerated him.

In any case, the main reason is that Zhu Wei's foundation is a little unstable. Zhu Wei is still taking the digestion of the four counties in southern Jingzhou and waiting for an opportunity to seize the whole of Jingzhou as his main strategic goal. As for Yuan Shu, it is best to wait until he proclaims himself emperor. In practice, attacking Yuan Shu like that is justifiable.

And at that time, Liu Yao's side might also have health problems. If Liu Yao died, then Zhu Wei could take the opportunity to seek Jiangdong, and there would be no more hidden dangers.

Therefore, Zhu Wei is checking the information on Lujiang now, hoping to know a little about the situation in Lujiang County, and see if he can get people like Liu Ye and Lu Su from Lujiang and Huainan without using troops.

Anyway, during this period of time, there is no need to worry about Liu Ye leaving Lujiang to vote for Cao Cao. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, if Liu Ye hadn't been forced by Zheng Bao, he probably planned to stay at home and stay still.

At the same time, Shu County in Lujiang County is also Zhou Yu's hometown. Zhu Wei asked Huang Yueying to investigate the information of Lujiang County this time, so he can also know whether Zhou Yu is really in Shu County's hometown in Lujiang.

If he was not among the field generals in Lujiang, then he must not be in Lujiang, and it is very likely that he was with Sun Ce.

Based on the current news that Zhu Wei knows, Zhu Wei suspects that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu may have already arrived in Guangling County in Xuzhou.

Almost at the time when Zhu Wei sent troops to the four counties in Jingnan, Zhu Wei found out through the dispatched school office that Yuan Shu had sent people to capture Guangling County in Xuzhou and was further attacking Xiapi County in Xuzhou.

Now Yuan Shu's army is confronting Xuzhou Liu Bei's army in the area of ​​Xuyi and Huaiyin.

This is similar to the original historical progress. Obviously, Yuan Shu can't take advantage of Jiangdong for the time being. Because of Zhu Wei's reasons, Liu Yao has captured Liyang County, an important military area in the north of the Yangtze River. Perhaps it is because of the difficulty of crossing the Yangtze River due to the natural danger. However, Yuan Shu temporarily gave up his strategy of attacking Jiangdong.

Originally, Yuan Shu sent Sun Ce to attack Jiangdong in history, and he only let Sun Ce, a tiger, try. He never thought that Sun Ce could conquer Jiangdong, or even successfully capture the entire territory of Jiangdong.

It is estimated that Yuan Shu's eyes have already been set on Xuzhou at this time, and he is going to take advantage of the opportunity of Liu Bei, an unknown person, to steal Xuzhou, and attack Xuzhou, a wealthy state and county.

And Guangling County has basically been vacant since Ruo Rong annexed Zhao Yu and fled to Jiangdong with the people of Guangling City, but under the remote control of Xuzhou's Chen family, it was considered to be under the rule of Xuzhou Tao Qian.

Now that Tao Qian is dead, Liu Bei has become the new lord of Xuzhou, but Guangling County still has no one to actually govern it, so Yuan Shu immediately sent troops to occupy Guangling County, but it was effortless.

But what made Zhu Wei feel a little alert was that Yuan Shu actually appointed Sun Ben, who had fled back to Huainan from Liyang, as the prefect of Guangling.

In fact, in the original history, Wu Jing should have served as the prefect of Guangling at this time, but Wu Jing was killed by Zhu Wei when he was in Liyang County, so now Sun Ben got this position.

But Sun Ben was a member of the Sun family, and Zhu Wei quickly thought of Sun Ce, who had no news about him now. Did he also go to Guangling County secretly? Maybe the current Guangling County has become a territory controlled by Sun Ce secretly.

Although according to the superficial information from Yuan Shu in Huainan, Sun Ce was burnt in the Liyang battle, and his injuries have not healed.

So now Sun Ce has not returned to Yuan Shu's account as a general, but it has been more than a year since the first battle in Liyang, Zhu Wei does not believe that Sun Ce will really hide at home like this.

Zhu Wei has still been worried about Sun Ce's threat, so Zhu Wei asked Wang Yuyan's school office to pay close attention to Sun Ce's movements.

It's just that Wang Yuyan's school office has only been established not long after all, so many intelligence investigations are also inefficient. For example, the school office has not found out the whereabouts of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

The news that the school officials could get was that Sun Ce was still recuperating behind closed doors in the Huainan mansion. Even though Yuan Shu asked people to visit him a few times, he only reported that Sun Ce's injury was not healed. home.

And Zhou Yu also claimed that he could not afford to be sick at his home in Shu County, Lujiang. Of course, Zhou Yu was not as highly regarded as Sun Ce, but the people from Zhuwei School Office could not enter Zhou Yu's home to confirm whether Zhou Yu was there.

It can be said that none of Zhu Wei's school offices had ever seen Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in person, so naturally they could not be sure of their whereabouts.

As for Sun Ce's Hakka generals, only Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, three apparently veteran generals, follow Sun Ben's side. By following Sun Ben, he could also help Sun Ben lead the remnant soldiers who had returned from defeat in Liyang County.

After the defeat of Liyang, Sun Ben seemed to be the representative of the Sun family outside, acting as the face of the Sun family, but Sun Ben's ability could not be compared with Sun Ce, so Sun Ben was just an ordinary person on Yuan Shu's side. It's just a general.

But many of Sun Ce's generals that Zhu Wei knew, such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, etc., seemed to have disappeared. Zhu Wei was sure that they were hidden by Sun Ce. Zhu Wei believed that Zhou Tai and the others never died in Liyang.

Now that there is no news about them, Sun Ce should deliberately show weakness in front of Yuan Shu and hide these forces...
