I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

"Xiangyang, Shangyong counties, dozens of cities, and hundreds of thousands of people. I can't wait to visit Xiangyang." After the two left, Liu Feng faced the west with great anticipation.

Xiangyang.It is not only a battleground for military strategists, but also a bustling city.

For Liu Feng, this was a great victory, drawing a perfect end to his war of defeating Chu, rejecting Cao, and disrupting Wu with one against three.

But for the Jiangdong forces, this news is tantamount to a blockbuster, enough to shake the entire Jiangdong location.

However, at this moment, Jiangdong has not received the news, because the soldiers of Cheng Pu's army were almost wiped out, and there is no source of news.

Linhuai city.

Today is the day Sun Ce returned to Linhuai with the Chinese army.

Sun Ce is not only extremely majestic in appearance, but also very clean.Don't feel anything during the fight, of course you will feel very uncomfortable when you come back.

So after returning, Sun Ce immediately took off his armor, took a bath, and put on clean clothes.

After solving the small personal matters, Sun Ce's thinking immediately devoted himself to the struggle for hegemony in the world.

In Linhuai City, in the study of Marquis Wu's Biefu.

Sun Ce sat on his knees, lost in thought.

Because of Lu Su's obstruction of the Northern Expedition this time, his hegemony was at a loss and suffered a small setback.At the same time, I also felt the necessity and urgency of getting rid of Lu Su.

The tiger is still young, so it must be strangled to death, otherwise it will cause serious trouble.

Lu Su gave Sun Ce the feeling that he was a young tiger.

"How to unite to destroy Lu Su?" This question mark appeared in Sun Ce's mind.

Chapter 369 The plan has not been implemented, and the general will be folded first

Combining verticals means combining verticals to destroy the enemy.When Sun Ce retired from the army, he discussed with Cheng Pu.

But there is no small hurdle in uniting the crowd to destroy the enemy.In the past, the counties and counties controlled by Lu Su were Xinye and Nanxiang, but after this battle of Xiangyang, they expanded to Xiangyang County and the nearby Shangyong County.

Originally, Lu Su's power was handed over to the three princes.Cao Cao, the Liu family of Jingzhou, and Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, are now bordering Cao Cao, the Liu family of Jingchu, Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong.

Cao Ren, Cao Cao's subordinate, fought with Lu Su and broke the general Niu Jin. The news has been confirmed, and this is a great revenge.And the Liu family in Jingzhou even died indirectly or directly at the hands of Lu Su, the new and old masters, and the hatred was as deep as the sea.

Needless to say, Liu Xun is the faction that Lu Su belongs to. His lips are dead and his teeth are cold. He has a dependent relationship with Lu Su and cannot be relied on.And his Jiangdong forces bordered Liu Xun, so he could directly attack Liu Xun from the side and start a war with Lu Su.

Because these three parties have a common enemy, they should theoretically be able to unite.In this battle where Lu Su fought with one against three, the three parties did use each other to reach a tacit understanding and wanted to eliminate Lu Su directly.

But it didn't work out.

In addition to Liu Qi being too weak and Cao Ren being tricked, there is another reason. The three parties have not communicated with each other, they just have a tacit understanding.

As for why it is theoretically possible to deal with Lu Su together, let's put it down first.Because now there is another person next to Lu Su, Zhang Lu from Hanzhong.

This Zhang Lu was of Taoist background. He was originally a general of Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan. It was Liu Yan who sent Zhang Lu to Hanzhong, and then ordered Zhang Lu to pretend to be a rice thief.

Liu Yan is an ambitious man. He did this to be the most prestigious in Yizhou, and even built a carriage of the emperor's standard for himself to ride.

However, after the fire, all these things disappeared.Liu Yan couldn't afford it because of this, and finally died.In addition to these, there is also news that when Liu Yan was still there, Zhang Lu's mother often went in and out of Liu Yan's mansion because of her Taoism and good at keeping her face.

It is enough to prove that Zhang Lu, the rice thief, is actually just a watchdog of Liu Yan.Later, when Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, the two fell out for some reason.

Liu Zhang also killed Zhang Lu's mother.

Anyway, the situation in Yizhou is actually a bit complicated.But to put it simply, Zhang Lu is strong and strong, while Liu Zhang is weak.

Zhang Lu wanted to swallow Liu Zhang, but he seemed to have no interest in the war in the Central Plains.This made it very difficult for He Zong and Zhang Lu to deal with Lu Su together.

However, Sun Ce thought about it later, this man died for money, and the bird died for food.Since Zhang Lu is very interested in Yizhou, he should also be interested in the land.

And Lu Su's power, Shangyong County, now borders Hanzhong.If he gets Shangyong County, Zhang Lu's power will increase by one county.

Discuss it, maybe it can be reliable.

However, this difficulty is also there.Because if Shangyong County is divided up to Zhang Lu, the city of Xiangyang will be even narrower, and it will be a bit difficult to support alone.

Moreover, Zhang Lu's wolf is ambitious, if he has something in mind.Presumably, Kuai Yue might not agree.

Volume 94, Section 746: Chapter 369 The plan has not been implemented, and the general will be folded first (2)

This piece of Lu is not bad, the key is the hatred between his Sun family and Liu family.His father, Sun Jian, died at the hands of Huang Zu. Huang Zu was ordered by Liu Biao to deal with Sun Jian.

Although Liu Biao is dead, Huang Zu is still there. He is in Jiangxia, just like a thorn in Sun Ce's throat. Not only Sun Ce, but several old generals in Jiangdong, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai, all treated Liu Biao. Power has a hatred.

Even now that Sun Ce has figured it out, he feels that Lu Su is a young tiger. If he doesn't get rid of him sooner or later, he will bring disaster to the southeast. He is willing to temporarily give up his hatred and eliminate Lu Su.

But it is estimated that the old generals Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai would not agree.Although Sun Ce started with soldiers and generals back then, the key was the support of these three veteran generals. Otherwise, how could Sun Ce's ten-year-old boy hold his ground?

This matter is not easy to handle.

This is a problem within Jiangdong.In recent years, Sun Ce once raised troops to attack Jiang Xia. Although he did not directly fight Liu Biao's forces, he made Huang Zu miserable enough.

It is estimated that Huang Zu is not easy to agree.Both sides maintain internal animosity towards the other, and this union appears to be full of contradictions.

The first difficulty is the Liu family of Jingchu, and the second difficulty is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. It is impossible to contact Cao Cao casually.

After all, Cao Ren was just a general.

"Destroy the enemy vertically. Defeat the enemy vertically. At the beginning, the strategists invented the method of defeating Qin by uniting the six countries and defeating the six countries by strengthening Qin. The result was that Qin State unified the world. It was not the method of combining vertical and horizontal forces." Not good, but the failure was caused by the many conflicts among the six countries. Now the world is in chaos, which is almost the same as the Warring States Period, or even worse. How to integrate these forces to deal with Lu Su is a problem."

"However, it will be much easier if we unite. Lu Su's power is only a million people, and only [-] to [-] elite soldiers. It seems huge. The ratio of elite soldiers to population is really uncoordinated. If it is a truly consolidated power, the population The ratio to the military strength should be twenty to one, which means that Lu Su's forces should have about [-] troops. The current situation proves that Lu Su's foundation is actually shallow and quite empty. It is not comparable to the Warring States Period At that time, the status of Qin State, if the forces of the four directions are united, they can't break the little Lu Su, so they can just wipe their necks together."

Sun Ce secretly planned everything in his heart.Although it seems that there are many difficulties, Sun Ce is still very much looking forward to the result of this joint vertical, and is very eager to move.

The Lu Su guy is very courageous with one against three, so he messed up his hegemony just like that, but what about one against four?Moreover, it is a four-party cooperation, a true vertical alliance.

"Whether Gu can return to Shouchun, unify Yangzhou, and complete the initial goal of dominating the southeast depends on whether this alliance can be achieved." Sun Ce thought to himself.

At this moment, a guard entered the door and reported: "Marquis Wu, Mr. Zhang is asking to see you."

Zhang Zhao?Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said, "Please come in."

"promise."

The guard promised, turned and walked out.

Sun Ce was taken aback because Zhang Zhao was his important minister, and he didn't need to be notified when he entered, but then Sun Ce remembered that if he wanted to deal with Lu Su, he ordered the guards not to come in and disturb him.

After the guards left, Sun Ce adjusted his posture and became more upright.This is etiquette, the necessary etiquette when meeting important officials.
