Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1532 Truce Period Three

Jiangdong, Wu State,
Jianyedu.

This capital city of the Wu Kingdom, as magnificent and majestic as ever, stands on the banks of the Yangtze River, and those places that were once covered by the flames of war have now been restored.

As the center of Jiangdong, the core of politics and economy, after the restoration of peace, it became more prosperous, attracting countless people and business travelers.

This also shows that although Jiangdong lost a battle, it did not affect the strength of Wu Jun, nor did it affect Sun Wu's country. At least on the surface, it is relatively stable.

In the Wu Palace.

Sun Ce wore a robe and knelt in front of the desk. He was waving his pen and ink with his right hand, and flipping through the playbooks with his left hand. He was reviewing some playbooks.

In the past, I just watched my father handle government affairs, and thought it was a very simple matter, but when I shouldered this responsibility, I felt that this responsibility can overwhelm people.

He would rather spend ten hours fighting with people on the school field than reviewing the memorials for an hour in the hall with this pen.

Reviewing is easy, but the hard part is making decisions. The report submitted by the local government is the policy of each locality, and it is related to the safety of the people in the locality. He must be careful, and he cannot reverse even the slightest mistake.

This mental consumption is really more terrifying than fighting.

It was also fortunate that Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Zhou Yu were all around him to help him, otherwise he would probably have died of exhaustion on the throne of King Wu.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Zhao walked straight in, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Zibu, sit down, I'll talk to you after I review this Kuaiji battle report!" Sun Ce respected Zhang Zibu very much, not only as an important minister left to him by his father, but also Zhang Zibu. His ability also made him very trustworthy.

Zhou Yu is formidable, versatile in both civil and military affairs, but when it comes to handling government affairs, he is not as prudent and refined as Zhang Zhao. Zhou Yu is powerful in his external arrangements and ideas, but his ability and skill in handling government affairs internally is This is Zhang Zhao's strength. If Zhang Zhao hadn't supported Jiangdong's government affairs, Jiangdong would have been in chaos since he inherited the throne.

With Zhang Zhao alone, like an army of one hundred thousand, half of Jiangdong's country is supported by Zhang Zhao.

"Huaiji?"

Zhang Zhao narrowed his eyes, and took the initiative to speak, "Is the battle not going well?"

"It went well!"

Sun Ce said: "It's just that places like Kuaiji and Danyang are different. The battle line is too long, and winter is coming soon. We can't continue to pursue, so Lu Meng and the others proposed to withdraw their troops!"

"Also normal!"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while and said, "The Kuaiji is too big, with lofty mountains, and too few Shanyue tribes scattered here and there, which are not enough to threaten the safety of our city. For us, if we suppress too much combat power Where is it, it's not safe anymore!"

"Why doesn't Gu know!"

Sun Ce smiled wryly: "It's just a pity that we can't calm down the internal problems at once. I'm afraid there will be storms in the future. Once we enter the war, the internal Shanyue tribe will still make trouble. This will be more troublesome for us!"

"Your Majesty still wants to fight?" Zhang Zhao frowned.

"Although Gu is not willing to be reconciled, but he is also divided into importance. If Gu is still a general, he will naturally be exterminated. But from the standpoint of the Wu Kingdom, Gu can't go on fighting, so I reviewed Lu Meng's request to withdraw troops!" Sun Ceyao Shake your head.

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Zhang Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief, and was also somewhat relieved at Sun Ce's growth.

About a quarter of an hour later, Sun Ce finished processing some of the battle reports, and after having someone send them out, he redid it and chatted with Zhang Zhao.

"Zi Bu came to see me for marriage matters!"

Sun Ce seemed to know Zhang Zhao's reason for coming, he smiled slightly, and said, "I have already said this matter, and I have made up my mind!"

"I don't have any objection to the fact that the daughter of the Sun family is married to the Cao family, but I don't agree with the fact that the son of a daughter can't sit down, and the king wants to go to Xudu himself!"

What Zhang Zhao said was very clear.

"It's not that Gu is going, it's that Gu has to go!" Sun Cechang sighed, and said to Zhang Zhao, "Gu has talked with Gong Jin many times, and there is no room for us not to do this!"

He was also very helpless, if he could, why would he want to go to Xudu? After all, he knew what kind of person Cao Cao was. It was not impossible to kill him and imprison him. Jiangdong would definitely be in chaos.

But Sun Ce is also a prince with a long-term vision. Looking at the world, if Jiangdong can resist the Ming army, he is naturally willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, watching the battle with the mind of the oriole behind.

However, when the navy of the Ming army broke through Jianyedu, the advantage of the navy of the Wu army had already been completely broken. This time it was just a navy. do you live?

If he wants to resist the Ming army, he must unite the power of the princes. On this point, he has reached a consensus with Zhou Yu, even if he sacrifices a little, he must do it.

"Zibu, do you know about Mulongtu proclaiming himself emperor?" Sun Ce asked Zhang Zhao.

"nature!"

Zhang Zhao nodded: "There is a lot of rumors in the world. It's hard for me not to know, but the strength of the Ming army depends on whether you want to be emperor or not. The killing intent of the Ming army, our Wu country can't show such a bird!"

He was afraid that Sun Ce would be too impulsive, and when the time came, he would be the first bird and be beaten to death by the Ming army, and Jiangdong would definitely suffer.

"Gu naturally knows this!"

Sun Ce said: "But Gu also felt that Mulongtu's ambition to unify the world, although he promised not to fight for three years, but Gu couldn't believe it, and if he did, he would probably move us Jiangdong first. Jiangdong has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, which can be defended and difficult to attack, but the combat effectiveness of the Ming army navy is obvious to all. Once they attack our Jiangdong, whether we can stop it is already clear at a glance, so we need allies. Since we need allies, You can only take the first step, trust, must be achieved, even if it takes risks!"

Zhang Zhao felt slightly uncomfortable when he heard the words, but he had to admit that what Sun Ce said was absolutely correct, if the princes could not reach a consensus, they would not be able to form trust.

Sooner or later, they can only be cleaned up by Mujing one by one, and then the world will return to light.

"Since Your Majesty has a fearless heart, I am not trying to persuade you!" Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "But no matter what, Your Majesty must return safely. The Wu Kingdom cannot withstand another turmoil!"

"rest assured!"

In Sun Ce's eyes, there was a fierce light, and he said darkly: "Gu has never been a person who can be captured without a fight. If he, Cao Mengde, wants to burn everything, even if I Jiangdong must lose, I will pull them back. At worst, I will lead the Ming army into the Central Plains!"

He is also a very vicious person. He is not the kind of pedantic person who says sacrifice is sacrificed. If there is hope, he is willing to give hope, but if Cao Cao really wants to kill him, he will fight back vigorously.

Zhou Yu and Tai Shici are already preparing, and the army is also displayed in Shouchun. They can go to Yuzhou in the north and Xuzhou in the east. If anything happens, they will go straight in.

Once the war starts, Jiangdong will be defeated, but once Jiangdong opens the door to the Central Plains, Mujing will not worry about promises at that time. The interests of the world are the greatest, and he will definitely send troops to invade the Central Plains. When the time comes, they will die together. Everyone should not think about living well.

Zhang Zhao nodded. Internally, Sun Ce was a little weaker and less patient in managing government affairs, but externally, whether it was the city government or his courage in fighting, he was first-class in the world.

"Has Your Majesty indulged the Second Young Master recently?" Zhang Zhao said suddenly.

Some things are linked together, giving people the feeling that they are just arranging the funeral.

"Gu has the courage to die and survive, but Jiangdong can't have no successors. Although Gu has parents and children, he is not as good as Zhongmou. On the one hand, Zhongmou can win over those Jiangdong families. On the other hand, although he is disgusting, he is matched. If something happens to Gu Gu, you and Gong Jin can support him as the new king!"

Sun Ce sighed: "The world is changing, and many things are uncertain. I can compare my fate alone, but fate may not be rich. I leave a way out for everything. I am worthy of the people of Jiangdong to flock to my Sun family!"

He had prepared for the worst.

"Your Majesty has such a plan, I admire you!" Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said.

"You don't need to worry about this matter, you have your own thoughts. As for Zhongmou, he lives alone. He is always Gu's younger brother, and he still can't open the sky!" Sun Ce looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "The most important thing for you is to sort out the local government affairs. , there is not much time left for Jiangdong, even if Mu Jing keeps his word, the world will be peaceful for at most three years, and three years is not long or short, but for us, it is enough for us to rectify Soldiers cannot govern the country, and national strength is unknown. In the past, I may have thought that with enough troops, I could fight all over the world, but now I know that the last thing to fight in a war is to rule the country. If there is not enough food in Jiangdong, it will not be able to produce Enough weapons, our soldiers and horses are elite, and on the battlefield, they are just allowed to be ruined by others at will, and there is no way to say victory. Only when Wu is strong enough, can the Wu army be invincible on the battlefield!"

"Your Majesty has such a comprehension. Congratulations!" Zhang Zhao is more and more cooperative with Sun Ce, the new king. He is younger, braver and more ambitious than the previous king. The only shortcoming is his vision and government affairs. He is not as good as the previous king, but now, he can see this level, which is enough to show that he has made rapid progress, and he will definitely have the ability to be the wise leader of the generation of Wu in the future.

"There are some things that take time to comprehend, but Mu Jing has already comprehended them. We have always believed that the Ming army is particularly powerful. In fact, there is a deeper level. It is the strength of the Ming country that makes the Ming army indomitable." , I hate myself for not being able to see through this earlier, and now I am too far behind!"

For Mu Jing, Sun Ce felt envy, jealousy and hatred from the bottom of his heart. Young people in the world, who would dare to show off in front of the young emperor Mu Jing, let alone a little overlord, the real overlord of Western Chu may not be able to look down on him here .

This person is a bit too monstrous, step by step to the present, as if he is juggling, it is a bit unacceptable.

"My lord, the last laugh is the victory. Our country of Wu still has a chance. Jiangdong is a land of prosperity. As long as we rectify it, we will definitely be able to enhance our national power even more!"

Zhang Zhaoanwei said: "Tomorrow is a man of great courage. Since he dared to promise not to send troops for three years, he would not dare to break his promise under the people of the world. Therefore, for these three years, we are still relatively safe. Vigorously reorganize the army, you can also vigorously organize the government, appease the local area, and accumulate strength!"

"Ok!"

Sun Ce said: "I will escort my sister to the north after two days. The matter of Xudu is planned by Gu and Gongjin, so don't worry about it. As for the court affairs and local government affairs, I can only trouble Zibu. Not here, some people will be more presumptuous, maybe they can also create some opportunities for Zibu, and I will leave an order for Zibu, allowing Zibu to kill first and then play, and organize the court!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

Zhang Zhao nodded.

He also knew that Sun Ce wanted him to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the court officials, especially those officials from excessive families.

Sun Ce is not Sun Jian, Sun Jian can bear it, Sun Ce is a person who can't rub any sand in his eyes, and some people go too far, thinking that Sun Ce is young and easy to bully, how can Sun Ce let them go, let them go Presumptuous again and again.

It is inevitable that Jianye will have a snowfall.

........................

Northern Territory, Youzhou.

Thistle City.

"My lord, the latest battle report!"

"Leave the order to withdraw the troops, the opportunity has been lost, we have to wait for the next year to fight again, tell the frontline generals, don't be impatient!" Liu Bei signed a verbal order and let the orderer pass it on.

"promise!"

The orderly bowed his hands in salute before leaving.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a gray robe with a bamboo hat came in, first bowed his hands and bowed slightly.

"Sir, don't be too polite!"

Liu Bei's smile is like a spring breeze. No matter what his intentions are, his smile makes people feel kind. In terms of the charm of his personality, few people in the world can match him.

And he is always consistent, although many people call him a hypocrite, but sometimes he is the stalwart man in many people's minds, a gentleman who doesn't care about trivial matters.

That's how the image is created.

"My lord, Mu Jing has become emperor!"

The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat said in a low voice.

"As expected!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, but breathed a sigh of relief: "He proclaimed himself emperor, so that we don't have to worry about the Ming army going north, and we can free up our hands to fight. Good or bad!"

If you want to talk about good things, eating Hebei is considered a good thing, but if you want to talk about bad things, the Ming court obviously wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to consume their strength.

But no matter what, this battle is imperative, not only for the sake of fighting for territory, but also for the next alliance of the three major princes.

In today's world, once the Ming Dynasty was established, it has already divided the territory from the Han Dynasty and ruled them. They are endless enemies. These princes must let go of some grudges and cooperate to defeat Mujing first, otherwise they will all be defeated by the Ming army in the future. Once defeated, because none of their princes could stop the Ming army's offensive.

"On the day Mu Jing proclaimed himself emperor, he made an oath in public. For the friendship of the entire Han family, the Ming army will not leave the country for three years and will not go to war!" The middle-aged man in the hat continued.

"Three years?"

Liu Bei suddenly understood: "The Ming army also needs to recuperate, but he is so righteous in this name, he is really a talent!"

Everyone needs to rest and recuperate.

The Ming army was not built with iron.
