Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 823
Sun Quan said meaningfully: "Zibu didn't want Zhongsi (Zhang Cheng) to guard Ruxu, so he had to transfer Lu Boyan from Chaisang. The Zhang family must contribute to Jiangdong, right?"

"Ah this."

After Zhang Zhao heard this, he was speechless. He thought that in order to force the old man, there was no need for the king of Wu to mess with the country's major affairs?He didn't know Sun Quan's idea at all, but it was actually well thought out.

Although Sun Bu did not have empirical evidence, his reasoning was rigorous and logical, which was also recognized by Sun Quan.

The rest of the Lu family survived the catastrophe, and finally revived in Jiangdong. Even if they took the risk of betraying Liu Bei, they would be cautious.

Based on Sun Quan's deep understanding of Lu Xun, Lu Xun should continue to pretend before he is fully prepared.

Jiangdong is currently employing people. If Lu Xun is dealt with for unwarranted charges, it will not only directly force against this forbearable governor, but also make the rest of the Jiangdong gentry alienate. The Sun family will not be able to continue to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, so Sun Quan chose Softer approach.

The first is to transfer Lu Xun to Ruxu, artificially separating Lu Xun from Liu Bei's forces, and second, slowly cut off the opponent's military power, and then punish him when the time is right.

"Your Majesty, you have to think twice, my son can't be Gan Ning's opponent." Zhang Zhao came back to his senses and continued to plead. He wished that Sun Quan was joking with him, but the other party's serious face didn't look like it.

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and explained: "Jiangdong has been struggling internally for many years, so it is not as united as Cao and Liu in foreign wars. After the defeat in Huainan, Gu thought a lot. Instead of rubbing together and not getting used to each other, it is better to separate and take responsibility In one place, if something goes wrong, it is easy to be held accountable.”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Zhang Zhao hesitated to speak.

"The Huainan War that just passed made Soochow the weakest of the three. Although the Cao and Liu families fought fiercely in the Central Plains and Guanzhong, it is hard to guarantee that they will not enter Jiangdong again. Gu decided to let the generals from Jiangdong guard Ruxu. The generals from Si Ji led the team to guard Chaisang." Sun Quan nodded slightly.

"Isn't this man-made division? Although Cao's army is more abundant than Liu's, their navy is relatively weaker, so they just need to stick to the Ruxu Shuikou. Wu Shuijun did not hesitate to give way, and the trapped army in Lantian, Jiaozhou is even more of a nightmare on land. Your Majesty should let Jiangdong’s generals guard Chaisang. Isn’t it a waste of talent for the governor to be in Ruxu?” Seeing that Sun Quan’s determination had been made, Zhang Zhao began to pick and choose again. stand up.

Sun Quan's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "One step ahead of Ruxuwu is Huaisi's hometown. What kind of accident did Han Zong lead his troops to defect? ​​Gu had to be carefully deployed. The Jiangdong generals guarded Huaigu as if it were gold. You will guard Gu. Just go west."

"This"

Sun Quan interrupted Zhang Zhao to add: "Zibu don't have to worry, let Nanchanghou (Lu Fan) alone command the western waterway army, and Zhong Si will be the left governor for him, and General Annan (Lv Dai) will be the right governor."

"With Ziheng as the coach, the veteran can rest assured. His qualifications and ability are very strong." Zhang Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Jiang Dong's general was unlucky, and Zhang Chengdang as his deputy could just survive.

Sun Quan remained expressionless and did not answer. Lu Fan was his most trusted confidant. Although he was not the governor of Jiangdong, his status in Jiangdong was higher than that of Lu Xun.

Lu Fan's administrative position is Yangzhou Mu, and the military's official position is a former general who holds festivals, which is equivalent to Guan Yu on Liu Bei's side. Although Lu Xun has the title of a great governor, his Yangzhou Biejia and Maocai were recruited by Lu Fan. The official position in the army is also the right general at the back.

After the failure to compete for Jiaozhou, Lu Fan stayed behind for a long time. Whether it was during Sun Quan's surprise attack on Jingzhou, or during the attack or defense of Ruxu, Lu Fan stayed behind Jianye. At this time, it was Sun Quan who sent him to Chaisang. The only big name available.

After Zhang Zhao left the Wu Palace, Sun Quan urgently summoned Gu Yong, Zhang Wen and others, and notified Ruxu and Chaisang to change defenses in advance, leaving them a night to adapt.

The next day, Sun Quan summoned Jiangdong Wenwu and announced the order to transfer troops and change defenses. All the ministers in the court who did not understand the situation were in an uproar.

When Wu Wangling was passed to Ruxuwu and Chaisang, many of the original garrison generals in the two places couldn't understand it. Xu Sheng, who was ambitious to oversee thousands of people, thought he could succeed Zhou Tai, but in the end, he was transferred to the rank of Zhang Chengxia, and his depressed mood was self-evident. For example, the governor Lu Xun wrote to Jianye to inquire, but was reprimanded by Sun Quan.

The armies of Ruxu and Chaisang are composed of the trilogy of the generals. The transfer of the main general means that the underground soldiers must move. Dongwu Mingming suffered a big defeat in Huainan, but at this time it seems to give people the meaning of fighting Huainan again.

Hefei defender Jiang Ji, in addition to sending scouts to investigate daily, also sent emergency information to Luoyang, but Soochow's actions were limited to changing defenses, and it returned to calm after more than ten days.

At the end of April, Luoyang's reply letter arrived in Hefei, and Soochow's spies also simultaneously sent back the news of the Central Plains.

After Hu Ke became the governor of the left department of Jiefanwei, he was usually in the military camp outside Jianye City, but he was still in charge of Jiangdong's intelligence work.

As soon as the news from Luoyang was sent to Jianye, Hu Ke hurried to the Wu Palace.

Hu Ke clasped his fists and asked: "Your Majesty, the Luoyang side urgently reported that Wei Guo withdrew the army from Huainan to the Central Plains. Because of the plague on the way home, many soldiers died. They are currently stationed in Mopi in Runan, and they are not allowed to go up. Fight Guan Yu at the front."

"The big-eared thief and the red-faced thief, what kind of luck did they get? Cao Ren fought Jiangdong so hard, but before he could fight Guan Yu, the whole army was infected with the plague?" Sun Quan found it inconceivable.

A few months ago, Soochow defeated Huainan. Sun Quan promised that after Cao Ren returned to the battlefield in Jingbei, Soochow's army would attack Wuchang and Jiangxia. Until Guan Yu was consumed.

Only when the Jingzhou Legion was emptied by the Wei State, Jiangdong would have a chance to take revenge in the future. However, God did not fulfill his wish, and he wondered if this was a sideways fight?

"My lord, Cao Ren also died of the plague, and even Wen Hui, who went to Huainan to negotiate, also died," Hu Ke reminded.

Sun Quan slapped the table with his palm, and teased with grinning teeth: "It's a good death, it seems that God is fair, as many Jiangdong children he killed me in Huainan, as many people should be buried with him."

Hu Ke nodded and sighed: "If the plague is not properly controlled, the final death may range from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands or 10,000+."

Is God helping Jiang Dong to avenge, or is he helping Guan Yu?Sun Quan hastily asked: "Didn't Liu Bei take Chang'an in the first month of the month? It's been several months now, how is the situation in Guanzhong? Cao Pi didn't dare to use the soldiers transferred from Huainan. Has he spared troops to go to Guanzhong?"

"Because Cao Ren's soldiers did not dare to use them, Cao Pi only took [-] from the Jingbei battlefield to go to Tongguan. Guan Yu is currently shrinking his troops to fight Nanxiang. Cao Xiu is not Guan Yu's opponent at all, and there is bad news from Yongliang." Hu Ke shook his head straight.
