The Three Kingdoms

"Zhongmou, are you sure?"

Sun Jian smiled in satisfaction, narrowed his eyes, and asked.

"Father, please rest assured that Zhongmou is willing to issue a military order to ensure that he can bring back the Chuanguo Yuxi." Sun Quan said with firm eyes.

"How many soldiers and horses do you need to mobilize?"

"Zhongmou wants two naval fleets. Also, I want 4 infantry, and I also want the [-] light cavalry who just returned to Jiangdong from Liaodong. The tiger soldiers under my car are now fighting in Shanyue, and they will take Baimayi from And Zhao Zilong, give it to me." Xing Shan thought for a while, and he asked for more than [-] soldiers and horses, which is not too much for the Jiujiang campaign.

Yuan Shu's strength is not low, and when the time comes, he may not only face Yuan Shu, Jiujiang must be a hodgepodge.

"Do you still need it?" Sun Jian asked. If, as Sun Quan analyzed, Jiujiang is not only Yuan Shu's army, but also Liu Biao, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu's army. It should not be underestimated.

"No need, now that Jiangdong Liguo has spread the word to these Jiangdong ministers, we must have enough troops to suppress the local opposition forces." Sun Quan shook his head, said calmly, turned his eyes back, and gave Sun Ce a complicated look.

Sun Ce's expression was very calm, and his eyes were dark. Looking at Sun Quan's handsome face, there was also a very complicated light.

"What about the military adviser, who do you want to be the military adviser to accompany the army?" Sun Jian asked.

"Father, the military adviser I want is in Jiujiang, and I need to trouble Brother Gongjin to write a letter." A person Sun Quan remembered said with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Zhongmou, you want Zijing!" Zhou Yu's face moved slightly, his eyes widened, and said.

"That's right, Lu Su had already intended to join me in Jiangdong a few years ago. The Jinyiwei spies observed him many times. This person's talent is extraordinary. He is outstanding in both literary and martial arts. He can be a military advisor!"

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and said.

Lu Su helped Tai Shici escape from Shouchun in the past. Since then, Lu Su has had a good impression of Jiangdong. Over the years, he has always wanted to find a chance to join Jiangdong, but the Lu family is after all a powerful Jiujiang. He never found an opportunity, and the whole family crossed the river until now.

Sun Quan believed that this was a good opportunity, and Lu Su should be given a stage to enter Jiangdong. Lu Su is a talent, and he is a young soldier.

----------------

The night was getting darker and darker. After returning to the Jinyiwei Yamen, Sun Quan still couldn't figure out why Sun Jian would let his own general be the main general.

"Old Li, why do you say?" Sun Quan looked at the scheming Li Nie and asked.

"My lord, it's actually not hard to guess!"

Li Nie smiled, and said: "The lord may think that the previous choice is a little sorry for you, so now he wants to make a bowl of water!"

"You mean, my father deliberately asked me to fight with my elder brother!" Sun Quan's eyes widened.

"Young master, Jiangdong was just a general's mansion before, and it was still ruled by the Han Dynasty in name, but it is no longer necessary. The situation is completely different when Jiangdong is a country. You'd better be mentally prepared." Li Nie understood in his heart, Sun Quan has always avoided confrontation with Sun Ce.

But there are no two tigers hiding in one mountain, unless there is one male and one female, if there are two tiger kings in a forest, one will die, this is an eternal law.

[Chapter 276 of the main text, Yuan Shu who is surrounded by enemies]

In the middle of February, Jiangdong suddenly dispatched troops in the midst of spring.

The second son of Sun Jian, the son of Jiangdong Quan, Sun Quan, who was only 15 years old, personally took command, claiming to send [-] lions to attack Yuan Shu in Jiujiang in the name of Jiangdong.

In the past few years, Yuan Shu has suffered repeated battles and defeats. From being the number one vassal in the world to now being only a vassal controlling the land of Jiujiang, his strength is not as good as before.

However, Yuan Shu still has 10,000+ elite soldiers under his command, controlling one-third of Jiujiang and Runan.

This time, Jiangdong's sudden dispatch of troops really shocked Yuan Shu.

With his current strength, he can barely gain a foothold in Jiujiang and Runan. Not long ago, Cao Cao and Liu Bei joined forces and almost destroyed him. If Liu Bei hadn't suddenly lost Xuzhou and let Cao Cao intimidate him, he would finally unite his forces and fight back. , Repelled Cao Cao, he maintained a certain strength.

The emperor passed away and the current situation was unclear. He was not willing to suddenly start a war with Jiangdong, a behemoth like Jiangdong at this critical moment, but he was not afraid of Jiangdong's sending troops, so after Jiangdong sent troops, he immediately dispatched tens of thousands of elite troops. , with Ji Ling, the number one general under his command, stationed troops at the mouth of the Yangtze River, guarding the Liyang pass, and resisting the invasion of the Jiangdong army.

On the Yangtze River waterway between Danyang and Jiujiang, warships lined up one after another. Although Yuan Shu's Jiujiang Navy did not have much combat effectiveness, it controlled the entrance of the Huai River and the Liyang Pass, so it barely blocked the Jiangdong Navy from the water.

Now that the emperor passed away, all the princes in the world are in a mess, they can't take care of themselves, and naturally they can't care about the battle between Yuan Shu and Jiangdong. In their view, this is just a contest between the two princes.

However, within a few days of the war between Jiujiang and Jiangdong, the situation suddenly changed drastically. The surrounding princes, as if they were crazy, all participated in this battle.

In late February, Cao Cao's general, Xia Houyuan, took command and sent [-] troops to attack Ruyin City, which is still controlled by Yuan Shu.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Biao of Jingzhou also sent troops. With his general Wenpin as the commander and Xinye Liu Bei as the deputy commander, he sent [-] troops from Jingzhou and directly attacked Jiujiang all the way, approaching Shouchun.

Finally, at the beginning of March, Lu Bu of Xuzhou also responded to the three forces at the same time. He sent [-] troops from Xuzhou, led by Zhang Liao, the number one general under his command, and invaded Jiujiang from Runan.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses rushed into Jiujiang from all directions. Yuan Shu, the former first prince, seemed to be besieged on all sides overnight.

In Shouchun City, the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

In the general's mansion, above the lobby, Yuan Shu's face was gloomy like water, and he was kneeling on the first seat. The dozens of civil servants and generals under his command all had sad faces, but their eyes aimed at the gloomy and cold Yuan Shu, just The atmosphere did not dare to show half a point.

"Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, tell me, why, why did things turn out like this? Jiangdong, Jingzhou, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu have joined forces to attack a certain family. What did a certain family do to make them work so hard? The family did not offend them!"

Yuan Shu stared fixedly at the lobby, his right hand and right arm, his gloomy complexion could drip water, at this moment, there was a feeling of extreme joy giving birth to sorrow in his heart.

In the first lunar month, the emperor passed away suddenly, and he was overjoyed all of a sudden, because he was holding the world's most orthodox imperial jade seal in his hand, so he suddenly became ecstatic.

In his mind, all the orthodox emperors in the world are dead, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is in his hands, so he must be the new man of destiny. Although his luck is not going well and his strength is greatly reduced, but He believed that he would be able to regain the lost ground and become the master of the new world.

But holding the jade seal, he was not secretly happy for a few days. Jiangdong had already sent out troops brazenly. Jiangdong was alone, and he was not afraid, but then, Cao Cao came, Liu Biao came, and even Lu Bu came. , He suddenly became stunned, and the whole person became sad.

"My lord, they should have come here to pass on the jade seal of the country."

Yuan Shu's two advisors, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong exchanged glances, and there was a look of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Yan Xiang stood up, bowed his body, looked very respectful towards Yuan Shu, and said: "The emperor passed away, and now there is only one orthodoxy in the world, and that is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, whether it is Jiangdong, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Lu Bu, it's all the same. It's all for passing on the jade seal of the country, whoever gets the jade seal can set up a puppet of an emperor."

"Hmph, so they all want the jade seal of a certain family. If the jade seal is in the hands of a certain person, that certain person is the master of the world. They don't want to think about it."

After Yuan Shu heard this, his frightened face became more ferocious.

After repeated battles and defeats, the only thing that can support him is the jade seal. With the jade seal in his hand, he feels that he is the master of the world, and now the jade seal of the Chuanguo is his only reliance.

"Everyone, this battle is difficult, is there a solution?"

Yuan Shu took a deep breath, his face was firm, his gaze swept across the civil and military ministers under his command sharply, and he asked in a cold voice,

"My lord, the current situation is really not good for us. We are surrounded by all sides. We are surrounded by all sides. This is a dead end. With our current military strength, even if we are twice as strong, we will definitely die!" Yang Hong gritted his teeth, his eyes calm Looking at Yuan Shu quietly, he pleaded: "Now the only thing that can solve the situation is the jade seal. I ask the lord to release the jade seal to calm the situation."

"Impossible, the Chuanguo Yuxi is the future prosperity of the Yuan family. Please don't mention this matter. For the future of the Yuan family, I will never give in!" Yuan Shu said with a cold gaze.

"Lord!"

Yan Xiang looked helplessly at the stubborn Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu still couldn't see the situation clearly. If they handed over the jade seal, they still had a chance of survival, but if they kept the jade seal, they would have no way to survive.

"You don't need to say much."

Yuan Shu's eyes were gloomy, and he said stubbornly: "I won't hand over the jade seal. A certain family doesn't believe it. Could it be that their soldiers and horses can still fight until Shouchun? You just talk about how to fight this battle?"
