The Three Kingdoms

"What we are going to face next is Danyang. Danyang and Jiujiang are just separated by a river. Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, and Zhou Ang, the prefect of Jiujiang, should belong to Yuan Shao, and they are Yuan Shao's deployment in Yangzhou!"

Speaking of Zhou Xin, a trace of hatred flashed across Wu Jing's eyes. He was originally the prefect of Danyang, but Zhou Xin was forced to overlord him in the name of the court.

"Yuan Benchu ​​is not simple, he actually got a hand here in Yangzhou." Zhu Zhi sneered, and then planted a small flag with Zhou characters on Danyang.

"We will not have the ability to cross the river in Jiujiang for a while, but we must take Danyang. Let's talk about Zhou Xin's strength!" Sun Jian said firmly.Compared with Kuaiji, Danyang was easier to win in his eyes. After all, Wu Jing's position as prefect of Danyang was well-known, and he felt at ease when he sent troops.

"Although Zhou Xin lost [-] sailors in the hands of the eldest son and the second son, there are still about [-] troops under his command. It will take time to investigate the specific strength of the troops, but the Danyang soldiers are expected to have good combat power. !" Cheng Pu looked at Sun Jian with a dignified expression, and said.

Since ancient times, Danyang has sent out elite soldiers, and Danyang's elite soldiers have fought first in Jiangdong.

"A certain family has heard about Danyang's elite soldiers." Sun Jian's eyes flashed coldly: "But I just don't know how much of the Danyang's elite soldiers Zhou Xin can retain."

"My lord, you must be cautious in taking Danyang. Wu County is not yet leveled, and the rear is unstable, so Danyang is not advisable!" Cheng Pu said cautiously.

"A certain family understands!" Sun Jian nodded.

"Yuzhang County, prefect Hua Xin, Hua Ziyu, from Pingyuan Gaotang, he is the confidant of Yangzhou governor Chen Wen, and Lu Jiang prefect Lu Kang also supports Yangzhou governor Chen Wen."

Wu Jing's voice was heavy, and he said pointedly: "After Jiujiang Shouchun was occupied by Zhou Ang, Chen Wen was in Yuzhang. This piece of land belongs to Chen Wen."

"Chen Wen, Chen Yuanti."

A sharp light flashed across Sun Jian's eyes, and he whispered the name in a low voice.

The Yangzhou Governor's Department governs the six counties of Yangzhou. Except for Jiujiang, the other five counties are the land of Jiangdong. This is the territory that Sun Jian must win. Only when he wins Jiangdong will he be able to compete with the heroes of the world.

Chen Wen is the biggest obstacle. After all, Chen Wen occupies the orthodox position. In this era, reputation is a very important thing. It is related to the views of scholars in the Lin. After all, scholars dominate the entire era.

"My lord, I heard that Donglai Liu Yao and Liu Zhengli have already received Yuan Shao's support, and they have also worked on the court of Chang'an. They have won the position of the new governor of Yangzhou, and are now trying to win over Zhou Ang and Zhou. Brother Xin, fight against Chen Wen!"

Gu Yong suddenly said softly, the voice was not loud, but it could be heard by everyone in the lobby.

"This statement is true!" Sun Jian's pupils shrank suddenly, and he asked hastily.

"I found out this from Captain Jiujiang, Uncle Lu Jun of the Lu family. It's absolutely true!" Gu Yong nodded firmly.

"So, doesn't Yangzhou now have two governors?"

Everyone was overjoyed. This was a good thing for the Jiangdong army. Only muddy waters are easy to fish in. Sun Jian has no shortage of strength. What Sun Jian lacks most now is a name.

If there are two assassins, it means that Yangzhou has no orthodoxy, and Sun Jian can't beat anyone too much.

At this time, little Sun Quan squinted his eyes and stared at Gu Yong. Up until now, Gu Yong didn't talk much, but it was obviously more accurate than Jiangdong Army's news network.

Gu Yong represents the aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families in Jiangdong are not simple at all. They are deeply rooted in Jiangdong.

The Jiangdong gentry was obviously more accurate than the Jiangdong army in terms of news. If the Sun family’s regime wanted to deal with these gentry in the future, there would definitely be problems.

[Text Chapter 55 The Battle of Wu County]

One word from you, one sentence from me, formed a careful analysis, and everyone knew more or less about the distribution of power in Jiangdong.

In the current Jiangdong, all regions are in charge of politics, under the county guards of various places, local tyrants, aristocratic families and noble families are intertwined. To put it bluntly, Jiangdong is in chaos, almost the same as the situation in the Warring States period, when the princes fought in chaos.

Sun Jian's tiger eyes were lifelike and sparkling. He stared intently at the flags planted on the sand table. He was silent for a long time. The atmosphere in the lobby was a bit oppressive, and he didn't dare to speak.

It was not until half an hour later that Sun Jian seemed to have an idea. Around the sand table where he left, he knelt down and sat in the first place seriously. Everyone quickly returned to their seats and sat down solemnly.

"Everyone, we must take Yan Baihu and Xu Gong. Do you have a good strategy?" Sun Jian asked with a majestic figure like a tiger.

"My lord, when are you planning to mobilize troops?" Cheng Pu asked, clasping his hands in silence as the crowd fell silent.

"The sooner the better, but the army has not moved, the food and grass go first!"

Sun Jian didn't answer directly, but turned his head to stare at Gao Dai, and asked softly: "Now I have [-] elite Jiangdong soldiers and horses under my command. Grain and luggage have become a big problem, if you want to go to war, you must have enough granary, Gao Juncheng, my Wu County, do you have enough food and grass?"

Gao Dai has always been in control of the people's livelihood and finances of Wu Jun. Ask him about this matter. The consumption of food and grass is very different between feeding the army without fighting and fighting. Once there is a war, the consumption of tens of thousands of troops is completely is an astronomical figure.

In this era, the most feared thing in war is the lack of food, which eventually leads to failure.

"Lord!"

Gao Dai stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Our Wu County's harvest last year was not bad, but since the year before last, various places have not respected the jurisdiction of the prefect, so the taxes of the surrounding counties cannot be paid. The only thing that can be controlled is Wu County. And Lou County, compared with our granary is not enough, most of it is the old grain.

However, if the lord wants to fight with all his strength, his subordinates must try their best to move around, guaranteeing support for three months, and the war must be resolved within three months, otherwise Wu County will face a big food problem. "

Wu County has a relatively high population density, with a combined population of nearly 80 in the thirteen counties. Compared with other places, the economy is relatively prosperous, and there has not been much war. After entering the station, there is not enough health and rest, and there is enough food to support tens of thousands of troops for three months.

"Okay!" Sun Jian's eyes were shining, he was slightly happy, and praised: "Kong Wen is a great talent, you can win this battle, and you can be the first."

Being able to support it for three months is enough for him to solve the war in Wu County. With his strength, he does not believe that Yan Baihu and Xu Gong can support his attack for three months.

"My lord is too famous, this is Dai's job!" Gao Dai had just welcomed Sun Jian into Wu County, perhaps just to quell the chaos in Wu County, to avoid the war, and even prepared to be dismissed with Sheng Xian after Sun Jian moved in.

But Sun Jian's unsuspecting trust in him made him gradually return to his heart and fully support Sun Jian.

"Now that there is enough food and grass, it only takes half a month to prepare before sending out troops, so a certain family plans to send out troops officially in early February! Quickly and quickly, we will take down the entire Wu County in one fell swoop." A cold light flashed across Sun Jian's eyes, Loudly said.

"How much does the lord plan to send troops?" Cheng Pu frowned and asked.

"This battle is about speed, you must fight on two fronts, attack Youquan all the way, and attack Wucheng all the way!"

Sun Jian was silent for a while, stood up, walked to the sand table again, pointed his hand, squinted his eyes, and said: "This battle a certain family went to fight in person, sent [-] troops, and my relative led [-] troops, going west to fight Wucheng Yan Baihu , Da Rong!"

"Here!" Zu Mao stood up with a startled expression.

"You are the commander of the Eastern Route Army, leading [-] troops to attack Youquan Xu Gong. The two of them cannot be united. The war must end within two months!" Sun Jian said firmly.

"No!" Zu Mao nodded.

"Grand Fu, you are walking with a certain one, Yigong, you assist Dayong, Yuan Tan, you are the proud son of the Gu family, since you have entered our county guard's mansion, a certain one will never treat you badly, you are the master of Zu Mao's army, assist him Attack Youquan, would you like to?"

Sun Jian began to point his generals.

"No!" Everyone nodded abruptly, Gu Yong replied with a blank face, but there was a gleam in his eyes that others couldn't see.

He didn't believe that Sun Jian trusted him so much. Sun Jian must have some intentions, but he couldn't refuse, and he was unwilling to refuse. To see the true strength of Jiangdong Army, he still had to do it.

"De Mao, when a certain family goes to war, Wu County and the county guard's mansion will be handed over to you. Kong Wen and Jun Li will assist you, and Wu County will not cause any trouble!" Sun Jian looked at Cheng Pu trustingly.

Even now, Cheng Pu is still his only adviser and the person he trusts the most.

"No!" Cheng Pu and the others nodded firmly.

Although the two militant men Sun Ce and Zhou Tai knew that their task was to train the cavalry well, they were relatively disappointed and dejected because they did not receive the task of conquest.

"Cer, the cavalry is the only cavalry in Jiangdong, you have to work hard!" Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce's dejected look and gave him a consolation prize.
