Chapter 997: Under the Response of the Princes from All Sides

Jiangdong, Danyang County.

Moling City.

Moling City, also known as Stone City, is an ancient city. In today's Jiangdong, it is just an inconspicuous city with a special geographical location.

But in later generations, this is a well-known ancient capital city, with the ancient capital of six dynasties, the city of ten dynasties, the beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River...the southern main city with countless names.

At this moment, the Lord of Jiangdong, Sun Jian, is stationed in this city.

In the crusade against Yuan Shu, the Jiangdong Army took the lead.

However, in Jiangdong, there are countless river basins. This year, a sudden flood occurred, which even hit the entire Jiangdong territory. Sun Jian was forced to withdraw his troops and return to Jiangdong.

But even so, he couldn't give up his peeps at Jiujiang.

Therefore, he did not directly lead his army back to Wu County, but stationed here in Moling, which belongs to Jiangdong and is separated from Jiujiang across the river, so it is convenient for both ends.

And after he was stationed in Moling, he felt that it was more suitable to be the capital of Jiangdong.

Regardless of whether it is dealing with the north or leading Jiangdong, it can be taken care of here. On the contrary, Wu County has shown flaws in geography, and it is difficult to take care of the entire Jiangdong.

So Sun Jian has always been in Moling.

Of course, moving the capital is not a simple matter, and today's Moling has no qualifications, no ability, and the courage to bear the capital of Jiangdong. At present, Moling is far behind in terms of population economy and infrastructure construction.

It can only be used as a temporary place to stay.

"My lord!" Inside the Xingyuan, Gu Yong quickly walked in from the outside, and presented a notice to Sun Jian in the hall: "This is a letter from Huangfusong, who just arrived in Jiangdong!"

"Huang Fu Song?"

When Sun Jian heard the words, his eyes suddenly became sharp: "Take it up and let me have a look!"

"Yes!"

Gu Yong sent the report to the world and spread it out in front of Sun Jian.

Sun Jian simply skipped it, glanced at it, and his expression became slightly dignified. After a while, he said with emotion: "All of us have underestimated Huangfusong, not only his love for the Han Dynasty. Loyalty, and underestimated his ability!"

"My lord, now that the letter to the world has been sent to the world, even in our Jiangdong territory, many cities have been pasted up. I am afraid that if you want to cover it up, you can't cover it up. How will I, Jiangdong, deal with myself then!"

Gu Yong asked.

"If it was ten years ago, someone would not hesitate to send troops to help, but now..." Sun Jian sighed, his loyalty to the Han Dynasty was wasted in that battle against the shepherds. .

Back then when he crusaded against herd thieves, he set up troops from Changsha and fought all the way up. He was full of enthusiasm, served the court, and worked hard to rule the world. At that time, Sun Wentai thought he was a pure Han subject.

However, when the Kwantung princes gathered together, they were beaten to pieces by Mu Jun.

Is that the incompetence of the Kanto princes?
Or is Mu Jun too powerful?
of course not.

Maybe the Mu army has strength, that's right, but with so many princes' troops gathered together, where are most of the soldiers and horses in the world, who can't be eliminated, how could they be defeated by the Mu army .

More reasons were caused by the internal instability of the princes.

Too much selfishness, the heart of the Han Dynasty has withered.

Since then, Sun Jian has been disappointed with the Han Dynasty.

The ultimate disappointment led to Sun Jian's achievements today. He committed himself to Yuan Shu's command and endured humiliation. After several years, once he gained power, he raised his troops and went south. After countless trials, he got the Sun Jian he is today.

Now Sun Jian also has selfishness. His thoughts are more in Jiangdong than in the world.

Compared with Sun Jian's expectations for the entire Han court, it is better to say that he now has greater hopes for Jiangdong under his own governance.

"But if we don't send troops, we seem to..." Gu Yong didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but the meaning is obvious. No matter how you say it now, it is all the world of the Han Dynasty. Don't dare to rebel easily, isn't it because the big man still has the last remaining popularity.

The wisdom of the people is a bit ignorant, they don't have much discernment, more intuitive feeling, now it is the Han Dynasty, the Han ministers have the emperor's edict to Qin Wang, you Jiangdong should not, it is a rebellious heart.

This will make Sun Jiang lose a lot of popular support in Jiangdong.

"Sending troops may not be necessary, but the attitude must be resolute. Huangfu Song has the ambition of the Qing emperor to save the country, and I, Sun Wentai, also have the desire to serve the king!" Sun Jian said lightly: "The troops that should be assembled must be assembled, and the notices that should be issued have been pasted. Now It's already winter, and it will take time to gather troops, wait for two months, wait and see, if Huangfusong can really tear open the closed gate, why not send troops!"

"Understood!"

Gu Yong's eyes lit up.

"How is the situation in Jiujiang?"

"General Cheng Pu and Yuan Yin's army has already approached Jiujiang. It is not difficult to deal with Ji Ling, but if Cao Jun takes Jiujiang by force, we have to increase our troops to have a chance of winning!"

"Increase troops?"

Sun Jian thought for a while: "Wait for a while, Jiangdong doesn't have so many troops to spend now!"

"What if Cao's army attacks by force?"

"Then give way, Shouchun, I don't have to, but I can't withdraw from Jiujiang, I must win the advantage in Jiujiang!"

"Understood!" Gu Yong nodded: "I'll send an order to General Cheng Pu!"

"By the way, how is that Yizhou envoy?" Sun Jian asked suddenly.

When Yizhou came out, he had met him twice. He was a master who could speak well, although he was young, but he spoke big and clearly, and he was almost persuaded by him.

However, if he wants to cooperate with Yizhou, he still has to worry about it. The key is that he is too afraid of Minghou Mujing, so he has been procrastinating.

"Eating, drinking, and traveling in mountains and rivers every day, there is nothing unusual!"

"So stable?"

"My lord, this person is not simple!" Gu Yong said in a low voice: "Although he is young, he is quite prestigious among the scholars. He is also my teacher's closed disciple, and Sun Qi and I are from the same school. Over the past few months, relying on the reputation of the teacher in Jiangdong back then, he has made friends with some great Confucian scholars in my Jiangdong, and has won a lot of fame!"

Gu Yong was one of Cai Yong's disciples when he was down in Jiangdong.

"Cai Shangshu's closed disciple is quite capable. I heard that he and Zhugejin are still brothers, and both came from the Zhuge clan in Langya. Such a talent is rare and precious. Can you keep him?" Sun Jian asked.

"There is little hope!"

Gu Yong shook his head: "He is very smart, he cut off our way as soon as he came up, and now he has gained a reputation among the scholars in Jiangdong. If we force him to stay, I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss, and it will damage the wisdom of the lord!"

"let it go!"

Sun Jian thought for a while, and said, "Talk to him first. I'm taking some time to cooperate with Yizhou. Although Jingzhou is a buffer zone, it poses a greater threat to us. If we can take Jingzhou , can be regarded as a good opinion!"

"Yes!"

"Besides, since the offensive in Jiaozhou is not going very well, let my uncle come back and make plans after a year. Now the situation in the Central Plains is changing. I don't know when it may become a situation of chaotic wars. We will continue to spend our troops in Jiaozhou. For Jiang Dong, the gain outweighs the loss!"

"Yes!"

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

Hebei, Jizhou, and Yecheng.

"Really let his Huangfusong complete the matter?" Yuan Shao said happily.

At the beginning, when Huangfusong sent people to discuss with him, he didn't take it very seriously. He put more energy in the north and unified Youzhou. After the troubles were completely eliminated, he went south to attack the war. This was a strategy. deploy.

But Huangfusong's proposal moved his heart very much.

Guan Zhong, he also wanted it very much.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo is the most powerful in the world today, and he also hopes to weaken Dong Zhuo's strength, so that he does not have to put a large number of troops in the direction of Guanzhong, and completely free up more troops to fight the Battle of Xiajie Bridge and capture You state.

The Battle of Jieqiao has already been fought twice this year, but they are all equal, evenly matched.

What Yuan Shao didn't expect was that there was no hope in Youzhou, but there was a change in Guanzhong.

This wave of operations by Huangfusong brought a lot of hope.

Guanzhong, that fertile and rich place, is opening its mouth to him, and...

"My lord, Huangfu Yizhen's ability should not be underestimated. If this person is an ally, he should be at ease, but if he is an enemy, he needs to be on guard!" Tian Feng stood beside him, and said emotionally: "His blitzkrieg method, Except for the champion Hou of the year, few people can match it, and the combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong Army has to be re-evaluated, it is not comparable to our Jizhou Army!"

"Don't grow others' aspirations to destroy your own prestige!"

Yuan Shao waved his hand: "Huangfusong has Huangfusong's ability, but the combat effectiveness of our Jizhou soldiers is not comparable!"

"My lord, what should we do now?" Ju Shou asked.

"Of course it's sending troops!"

Yuan Shaodao: "Send people to Hanoi, first unite with the Sima family in Hanoi, let the Sima family take over, let my Jizhou army enter Hanoi first!"

"Then will we become the target of the princes of the world!"

"Don't be afraid!" Yuan Shao said with a smile: "Isn't there Huangfu Song standing in front of us? What we want is to capture territory. After taking Hanoi, we can relax a little bit. Eat up Hanoi, and take down a bridgehead to enter Guanzhong!"

"What about Bingzhou?"

"Bingzhou?" Yuan Shao thought for a while: "It's better not to move easily, and you can't provoke the bottom line of the Xiliang Army too much. If you really recruit them to Hebei, you are asking for trouble!"

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

Youzhou, Jicheng.

The city was sealed off by heavy snow, and there was a piece of white snow everywhere. The chill was so cold that it was unbearable.

"There are so few cold clothes this year, how can the common people survive the cold winter!"

Walking through the street, seeing the trembling common people, Liu Bei cried out in compassion.

"My lord, Hebei has cut off the trade route to us, and it is too dangerous to take the sea route, so the cold righteousness from the south has not been able to enter the north. This year, we have not much. The soldiers in the army can't win together, and the people are even less. !"

Guan Jing stood by and said bitterly.

"It's all my fault, I'm sorry for the people!"

Liu Bei sighed.

The crowd was silent.

"My lord, the south is here to tell the world!" Jian Yong walked over quickly and handed a copy of the memorial to Liu Bei. Liu Bei glanced at it briefly, turned his expression slightly, and said quickly: "Call Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the others, Fuchu meeting!"

"Yes!"

Jian Yong walked quickly.

Half an hour later, in a conference hall.

"Everyone, General Huangfusong of the imperial court issued a notice to the world, summoning all the soldiers and horses to enter the Guanzhong, and the Qing Dynasty is on the side, Jingguo is in trouble!" Liu Bei passed the notice to the world in his hand, and then said: "Everyone thinks that I, Youzhou, , what should I do?"

"My lord is a child of the Han court clan, so you should respond to such a thing!"

someone said.

"However, Youzhou and Guanzhong are far apart. How many miles apart, and Hebei is in the way. If we send troops, wouldn't it be dangerous!" Some people objected.

"My lord, this matter is actually not difficult!"

Guan Jing is Liu Bei's highly valued advisor now, he cupped his hands and said, "Since we can respond to General Huangfusong, don't we need to send troops to Guanzhong?"

"How to say?"

"My lord can directly attack Bingzhou, which is enough to show my lord's response to this matter. Moreover, Bingzhou borders us. If we can take Bingzhou, it will definitely make Youzhou even more powerful, and even avoid Hebei's blockade of our Youzhou's trade routes!"

"That's a great word!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed and shouted, "Where is Yun Chang!"

"exist!"

"I am now ordering you to lead an army of [-] troops out of Dai Commandery. When the snow melts, I will send troops to Bingzhou. On the side of the Qing emperor, I will conquer Dong Zhuo. In the name of supporting the Han Dynasty, enter Bingzhou for me!"

"promise!"
