The Nameless of the Common Clans

Chapter 713: The outcome of Shuzhong

After the rain, it was followed by sultry weather, with no clouds in the sky and the sun scorching the earth, making people feel that the previous rainy weather was an illusion.

"Brother Gongjin, you are the smartest person in the world. What does it mean?" In Zhou Yu's tent in Chaisang, Sun Shangxiang read the poem that Chen Mo gave her to Zhou Yu with a flattering smile.

"Who gave it to you?" Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Shangxiang, then looked at the poem, and suddenly had a headache. It was not because of how difficult the poem was to guess, but because of the content... This girl sneaked out again, and she crossed the line. Should we say that she is worthy of being a child of the Sun family? Or is it that the ignorant are fearless.

"A scholar from Jingzhou, I met him when I went out hunting two days ago." Sun Shangxiang's eyes wandered when she heard this.

"Oh?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang with a half-smile: "There is such a hero in Jiangdong, but I don't know him. Shangxiang, can you take me there? It's just right to recommend this person to the lord."

"This... Didn't they say it was in Jingzhou..." Sun Shangxiang bowed her head.

"Ridiculous!" Zhou Yu couldn't help but slap the table and said: "You also know it's in Jingzhou? Now the two armies are about to fight. Fortunately, they are generous and didn't use you to make a fuss. If they really wanted to, you might have been used to threaten the lord now!"

"I don't think that person is a bad guy. Besides, how does he know my identity?" Sun Shangxiang bowed her head.

"Is it difficult to guess? Looking at Jiangdong, no, looking at the world, who else is a woman of your age who is still wandering around outside all day? If they didn't know your identity, would they write this poem to me?" Zhou Yu said angrily.

Although Sun Shangxiang is lawless in Jiangdong, even Sun Quan sometimes can't control his sister, but once Zhou Yu gets angry, Sun Shangxiang can only bear it obediently.

Seeing her bow her head in repentance, Zhou Yu looked at the poem again, shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will send someone to send a letter to thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?" Sun Shangxiang said in astonishment.

"Thank you for not making things difficult for you!" Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Shangxiang and snorted coldly.

"Brother Gongjin already knows who he is?" Sun Shangxiang said curiously.

"I am testing you. You almost lost the face of Jiangdong." Zhou Yu said unhappily.

"Who is he? That person is quite capable. When I wanted to draw my sword, he flicked it lightly, and my arm became extremely numb." Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Can such a person be recruited to Jiangdong?"

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang in astonishment: "You still fought?"

"I didn't. His swordsmanship is good. There is a young man beside him who keeps laughing like a fool." Sun Shangxiang shook her head.

"Recruit him..." Zhou Yu rubbed his head with a headache: "If we can really recruit him, all problems can be solved and the world will be peaceful. It's a pity... Jiangdong is not qualified yet."

"He has a high status?" Sun Shangxiang asked curiously.

"Yes, under one man, above ten thousand people!" Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Now you know who he is?"

"Among the Ming army, the one under one man, above ten thousand people?" Sun Shangxiang frowned and said, "Xun You? Or Xu Shu or..."

"Sure enough, in the eyes of the world now, there is no emperor of Chang'an anymore?" Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed. In the Ming army, when it comes to being under one man and above ten thousand people, the first reaction is Chen Mo. No one considers Chen Mo at all, or no one considers the emperor of Chang'an.

"Chen Mo!?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Zhou Yu with horror, her beautiful eyes wide open. No matter what, she never thought that the person who was chatting with people in the rain was actually their biggest enemy in Jiangdong. She actually wanted to recruit him?

"The poem has made it very clear. I asked you to read more books but you refused. Now you are embarrassed, right?" Zhou Yu shook his head and turned his head to see Sun Shangxiang standing there with a dull face, not listening to his teachings at all.

"Little sister?" Zhou Yu frowned and stretched out his hand, waving it in front of her.

"Oh~" Sun Shangxiang reacted and agreed, "If there is nothing else, little sister will take her leave first."

After that, she left in a daze. Zhou Yu looked at her back and frowned. This look, can't it be... just met once, it can't be that bad!

After looking at the poem again, Zhou Yu thought about it, took out a bamboo slip, picked up a pen and wrote a poem on it, and ordered someone to send it to Xiakou to Chen Mo, as a thank you, and also to tell Chen Mo that Jiangdong is not without people.

The appearance of the little princess of the Sun family was just an episode in Chen Mo's peaceful life. However, her appearance made Chen Mo extremely dissatisfied with the ability of these Jingzhou troops. Even if they were just recruited, their vigilance was too poor. It was not only a problem of the soldiers, but more importantly, these generals. After returning to the camp, Chen Mo summoned all the generals and pulled them out for training. As for the general who did not notice Sun Shangxiang coming in, he was directly dismissed by Chen Mo, which was regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and also put some pressure on these surrendered generals. Now is not the era of Liu Biao. The generals in the army are no longer judged by their origins but their abilities. If they are not good, then let them sit in their positions.

In the training ground of the water fort, looking at the Jingzhou generals in training, Chen Mo shook his head. They are not very capable, but there are really many idiots.

"Your Majesty!" Li Shan, who was in charge of training, saw Chen Mo coming and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Continue the training. At least let these people understand what military discipline is. If someone can't adapt, then punish them. If that still doesn't work, kick them out of the army and won't hire them." Chen Mo nodded.

"Yes!" Li Shan bowed and turned to continue training.

"Your Majesty, now the navy of Jingzhou, together with the surrendered troops and newly recruited soldiers, has 40,000 soldiers, and our army occupies the upper reaches. Although I don't understand naval warfare, now we are going downstream. If the wind direction is suitable, our army has the advantage and may not be unable to fight with the navy of Jiangdong." Xun You followed Chen Mo and smiled.

"Well, I also want to try the ability of the navy of Jiangdong, but now the navy of Jingzhou has a lot of soldiers, but they are untrained and cannot be used. Let's wait for a while. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Sun Quan can't gather 100,000 troops to fight with us all the time." Chen Mo nodded. Now he has the upper hand, and Jiangdong is not dominant in terms of terrain. He is not in a hurry. It is Sun Quan who can't fight, not him.

"By the way, is there any war report from Shu?" Chen Mo asked at the end.

"The news of the fall of Jingzhou has been passed in. General Junyi has arrived in Ba County. In addition, Liu Zhang has expressed his willingness to surrender. At this time, General Wuyi's army should have arrived in Chengdu. Liu Bei is now trapped in Jiangzhou and has lost his base. The army is unstable. Many Jingzhou soldiers have secretly escaped and surrendered to our army. The only way out is to retreat to Nanzhong. However, if so, Liu Bei will not be a concern." Xun You said with a smile.

If he really retreated to Nanzhong, it would mean that Liu Bei completely gave up Shu County and Ba County. Nanjun is mostly uncivilized, full of miasma, with a declining population, and there are also barbarians in various places making trouble. If Liu Bei goes in, it is basically impossible for him to come out again.

"Don't be careless." Chen Mo nodded. Although he said so, if Liu Bei really retreated to Nanzhong as Xun You said, Chen Mo couldn't think of any chance for Liu Bei to turn the tables.

"Your Majesty!" A soldier came over and bowed to Chen Mo, saying, "Just now, an envoy from Jiangdong sent a letter. Please read it, Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Chen Mo smiled and took the bamboo slips, opened it and took a look, then shook his head and said with a smile, "This Zhou Gongjin is quite interesting."

Xun You smiled and said, "The song is wrong. Zhou Lang Gu, Zhou Lang's name is not only famous in Jiangdong, but also in the Central Plains."

"The most rare thing is that this person is not only elegant and romantic, but also has the talent of a general. It's a pity that such talents cannot be used by me. What a pity!" Chen Mo put away the bamboo slips and handed them to Dian Wei beside him and said with a smile.

"Nowadays, most of the talents in the world belong to Your Majesty. Although there are talented people in Jiangdong, they are not as abundant as those in the Central Plains." Xun You smiled.

"If we can conquer Jiangdong in this battle, the world will be stable. However, this last battle is actually unnecessary. Send an envoy to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Quan another day. If he is willing to surrender, the title of Marquis of Wu can be kept." Chen Mo nodded.

The title of Marquis was prepared by Chen Mo for Sun Quan. At this time, Chen Mo was not too willing to create more killings. It was difficult to conquer the world, and it was even more difficult to rule the world. He did not want a ruined Jiangdong after being poisoned by the flames of war. If this battle could be avoided, it would naturally be the best.

"I'm afraid..." Xun You shook his head. This possibility was actually not great. If Sun Quan could not be defeated, it would be difficult for someone like Sun Quan to surrender willingly.

"It's okay to give it a try." Chen Mo smiled.

"Then what does the king think of Jiang Gan?" Xun You asked with a smile.

"Jiang Gan?" Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "This guy is not bad, let him have a try."

"Yes!"

Jiang Gan's mission to Dongwu ended in failure. Sun Quan is now gathering 100,000 troops in Chaisang, not for surrender. It would be unreasonable to surrender without fighting this battle.

In the following days, Chen Mo continued to prepare for war and trained the navy every day. The strength of the Jingxiang navy also made good progress during this period. At the same time, in the direction of Shu, Liu Zhang formally invited Wuyi to enter Chengdu, and Liu Bei captured Qianwei as a deep place. Wuyi has not yet fought with Liu Bei, but Zhang He has already had a confrontation with Liu Bei in Dianjiang.

Liu Bei now has no foundation. The loss of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ji Ling is even worse for Liu Bei. Although the remaining Wen Pin, Liu Pan, Chen Dao and others are good, they are not as powerful as Guan and Zhang. Chen Dao and Zhang He fought in Dianjiang and the result was a draw. However, Liu Bei was ambushed by Wu Yi and Chen Gong was killed by Xu Shu and died in Jianwei. Liu Bei had to retreat to Ba County and join Wen Pin and others. Wu Yi took the opportunity to attack Zhang He from both sides. Seeing that Jiangzhou was also in danger, Liu Bei invited many barbarians to help, which temporarily stabilized the situation. However, it was only a matter of time before Liu Bei was defeated. After receiving this battle report, Chen Mo no longer paid attention to the battle in Shu and prepared to deal with Jiangdong with all his strength.
