Chapter 217 Lu Bu pursues, Sun Jian crosses south

Yangzhou.

Lu Bu led his army and drove Sun Jian to Liyang, and then he could only watch Sun Jian and his army drift away in a boat.

Since there was no navy, Lu Bu had no choice but to face Sun Jian who had escaped.

"We can't continue like this. I don't know if the large Han navy trained by His Majesty in Jingxiang can be mobilized to fight."

Lu Bu looked at Sun Jian who was escaping, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

It seemed that Sun Jian was driven away, but in fact most of Yangzhou was still under Sun Jian's control.

For example, Linhuai, Tuzhong, Hengjiang, Wuwei, Chaoxian and other places close to rivers and lakes.

Usually, as soon as the front leg of the Han army defeated them, Sun Jian's army on the back leg used warships to recapture them.

Lu Bu fought in Yangzhou for such a long time, but he was actually constantly fighting with Sun Jian.

Sun Jian did not fight directly with Lu Bu. They retreated when the Han army arrived. When the Han army left, they came back.

This made Lu Bu unbearable.

"General, there is nothing good to do about this. After all, they are good at water warfare. The water system here is well developed, and we do not have an advantage here."

Jia Xu tried to persuade him.

"Even you can't help it?"

Lu Bu glanced at Jia Xu. If there was anyone here who could solve this problem best, it would be Jia Xu.

"General, I am just a counselor, not a god in the sky. If you want to make a wish, please go to the temple, but I can't do it."

Jia Xu's expression froze. Wasn't there a large-scale brainwashing in Shouchun?

Why does Lu Bu think he is omnipotent now?

Not to mention how expensive this method is, even if he could do it again, Sun Jian's men would not give him a chance!

People can be brainwashed into rebellion, but what about ships?Can you still brainwash the ship?
This kind of thing is not a problem that human beings can solve at all.

We must rely on the court to solve the problems of warships and soldiers first, and then we can talk about how to rely on wisdom to capture Sun Jian.

Now that even the Yangtze River can't be crossed, we can't use our thoughts to make Sun Jian surrender!

"Trash, I should have killed you if I had known. You are useless and I don't know why Your Majesty kept you."

Lu Bu looked disgusted.

Lu Bu's reputation in the Han Dynasty was not very good, and he was called a domestic slave with three surnames.

But if compared with Jia Xu, he is simply a saint-level existence.

A person like Jia Xu who brought trouble to the Han Dynasty can survive to this day because no one in the military camp except Lu Bu knows his true identity.

The second reason is because Liu Xie needs this person.

"Whatever you say, there's nothing I can do about it anyway."

Jia Xu looked indifferent, as long as he could survive, don't think too much about the rest.

Anyway, what His Majesty requested was to drive Sun Jian to Jiangdong, and he did not say that he had to be killed. What was the point of bothering him?

……

Jiangdong.

As Sun Jian moved from Shouchun to Jianye, the four major families began to feel that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

They immediately sat together again.

The same four people came this time, Lu Jun, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong, and Zhang Yun.

"Let's talk about it! Sun Wentai's actions have made people's hearts a little unstable. Some people even think that we can't secure our position. They will definitely be annexed by Sun Wentai in the future."

Zhang Yun looked angry. When he was the governor of Jiangxia, Sun Jian was just the governor of Changsha. The starting points of both sides were similar.

But his uncle was Liu Biao, King of Jing. What was Sun Jian's status? Why did those people look down on him?

"This is indeed a problem. Although Sun Wentai is vulnerable to the imperial court, he is a behemoth to us.

Moreover, the area he occupied was not small, with Jianye as the center, extending to Wujun in the east, Kuaiji in the south, and Hulin in the west.The territories of the Zhu family and the Gu family are both within Sun Wentai's control. "

Lu Jun looked at Zhu Zhi and Gu Yong with interest.

I don’t know what they would choose in this situation.

The four major families continued to rule Jiangdong together, but they still turned against Sun Jian.

If you insist, they are still the upper-level officials of Xinhan and can enjoy their own power under the great righteousness represented by Liu Bian. It is nothing more than the threat of Sun Jian, which makes them unsafe.

It would be safer if he defected to Sun Jian, but at the same time he would be labeled as a rebellious traitor.

Even the family power will be greatly weakened.

Whether they fight to the death or linger, it all depends on what they do.

"Isn't it just a small Sun Wentai? At worst, the Zhu family will move out of Wu County. In a place as big as Jiangdong, there will still be room for the Zhu family.

If it doesn't work, go to Nanjun and stay with the young emperor. "

Zhu Zhi's heart trembled. Now Sun Jian is determined not to board the pirate ship.

Otherwise, the Zhu family's reputation will be ruined.

The aristocratic family is not only stronger in strength and connections, but more importantly in terms of reputation.

Only a family with a good reputation will have a large number of talents to invest and develop better.

Otherwise, you can only watch yourself being swallowed up by others.

"The same is true for the Gu family. Under the Young Emperor, we are still officials of the Han Dynasty. We just don't deal with Luoyang. But if we take refuge in Sun Jian, what will happen?

The Gu family has been living in Han Dynasty for generations, how could they do something that is despised by everyone in the world. "

Gu Yong spoke impassionedly, and there seemed to be a sense of righteousness emanating from him.

This was also a helpless move by Gu Yong, who gave Sun Jian such a bad reputation.

Even if he had accepted the Young Emperor's decree like Yuan Shao, he would not have become what he is now.

Even Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai and others will bear the name of Hanchen until their death.

Only Sun Jian was truly upright and openly opposed the Han.

It can only be said that it is one's own fault for being mixed up to this level.

"Since everyone wants to get rid of Thief Sun, let's discuss a charter!"

Seeing that everyone was willing to take action against Sun Jian, Lu Jun's expression immediately softened.

"What is there to discuss? Why don't we just send troops to attack before he has a firm foothold?"

Zhang Yun said without hesitation.

"Things are not that simple. That is Sun Wentai, who has countless powerful generals. What are we going to use to fight him? This time in the coalition, you also saw the strength of the generals of the Sun family, although they were tricked in the end, resulting in some losses.

But it's definitely not to the point of breaking their muscles and bones.

Once there is an enmity with Sun Wentai, some small aristocratic families below will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos.

So we either don't take action, or we do it with a thunderous strike without giving them any time to react. "

Gu Yong thought for a moment and said.

Who made the Gu family within Sun Jian's control? If it was known that they were attacking Sun Jian in advance, the Gu family would definitely be in trouble.

Zhu Zhi thought so too.

At least they have to wait until they migrate the tribesmen out before deciding how to deal with Sun Jian.

It would be suicide to fight Sun Jian openly like this now.

"I don't think it's appropriate. Although I want to take action against Sun Jian, why do we have to do it ourselves? If we say who hates him the most, it must be the one in Luoyang.

Then why don't we give them a suitable opportunity to cross the Yangtze River and reach Jianye directly? "
