Demon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 56: Wu County

"Master?" It has been a day since Lu Rui captured Moling, and Lu Su came to the Zhongjun tent to visit Sun Quan.

"Zijing is here? It's all my general's carelessness. I didn't expect Cao Cao to use the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west to deal with Jiangdong. Now that Moling has fallen and the Yangtze River has no natural danger, how can we fight Cao Jun?" Sun Quan was secretly blaming himself, guarding against others. Heart can not help, this time he did not guard against Cao Cao!

"My lord, there is no need to blame yourself. I, Jiangdong Wenwu, never thought that Cao Cao's army would go south to attack me in Jiangdong."

"My lord, do you want to send someone to Poyang Lake to ask the governor's opinion before making a decision?" Lu Su tentatively asked Sun Quan. Sun Quan had just taken back part of the military power, and now he is about to hand it over again. Sun Quan may not be reconciled!

"Zijing, if you send someone to ask Gongjin, what choice will Gongjin make?"

"According to my subordinates, the Metropolitan Governor will suggest that the Lord withdraw his troops and garrison Lujiang County, relying on each other with Yuzhang County, and Xu Tu plans later." Lu Su made a correct judgment. In a head-on confrontation, we should retreat to Lujiang and Yuzhang and drill the navy to protect ourselves!

"Zijing? I just led the army to Kuaiji, and I haven't seen an inch of merit. I want to hand over the military power?" Sun Quan asked Lu Su. He had just obtained part of the military power of the Jiangdong Army. I haven't seen it yet, so I'm going to hand it back to Zhou Yu?Where will my prestige be at that time?

Sun Ce was influenced by Sun Jian and was loyal to the Han Dynasty.Both Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu are thinking about the Han Dynasty.Zhang Zhao surrendered in the Battle of Chibi, firstly because Cao Cao was powerful, and secondly because Cao Cao held the righteousness of the Son of Heaven in his hands.Zhou Yu also respected Liu Xie, and once suggested that Sun Quanruo Cao Cao flatter the emperor.Do righteousness.Then I ask Sun Quan to go to Jiangdong and vote for Cao Cao.

If the internal affairs are not resolved, ask Zhang Zhao.Ask Zhou Yu about foreign affairs.It is Sun Quan's help, but also Sun Quan's weakness!

"This......?" Lu Su also knew the power of it, and didn't know how to answer Sun Quan for a while.

"Report! My lord, General Lu just repelled Shanyue's surprise attack and captured many prisoners of Shanyue."

"Oh?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up. This is the best news he has heard in recent days. Lu Xun defeated Shanyue again.

"Zijing?" Sun Quan called out to Lu Su.

"My lord, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack. I will still have sufficient food and grass, defeat Shanyue, capture the prisoners of Shanyue, and then return to Yuzhang!" Now that Sun Quan has decided to hold on to the military power, Lu Su will help Sun Quan make suggestions.

"Okay! Let's follow Zijing's strategy. Order the third brother to lead troops to garrison Wujun to resist Cao's army, and our army will continue to destroy Wenzhou Shanyue."

"Yes, my lord!"

Wu Jun, the residence of Gu Yong.Zhu Huanzheng came to visit Gu Yong in a hurry.

"Brother Yuan Tan, do you know about Cao Jun?" Zhu Huan hurriedly yelled at Gu Yong as soon as he entered the door.

"Don't worry, Hugh, sit down and talk slowly!" Gu Yong unhurriedly handed Zhu Huan a cup of tea.

"Yuan Tan. Is this the time to drink tea? Cao Jun has captured Moling, and [-] troops are stationed at Shenting Ridge. I'm afraid they are about to attack Wu County." Zhu Huan put the teacup aside and asked anxiously Gu Yong, Sun Ce has already caused the Jiangdong family to suffer a lot. If the team is wrong this time, the Jiangdong family may be doomed.

"Xu Mu, don't panic, this is a letter from Lu Rui, as well as the imperial edict." Gu Yong unhurriedly took out Lu Rui's letter and the imperial edict.

The imperial edict is very clear: make Sun Ben the prefect of Wujun, and Gu Yong the master and servant of Wujun.Zhu Huan was a lieutenant of Wujun, a partial general.

"Yuan Tan, is this...?"

"Today, the imperial court sent an envoy to issue this edict and send back Lu Fan's body at the same time."

"Then Sun Ben also knows about this?" Zhu Huan gave Gu Yong a vigilant look.

"That's right, Sun Ben already knows."

"So what does Sun Ben mean?"

"Sun Ben didn't make an enemy of us, so the meaning is very clear. Sun Ben also wants to be rich and honored. Moreover, Sun Ben is not the son of Sun Jian, and he and Sun Quan are not brothers. It is reasonable to say that they are of the same clan, but not of the same clan. Why should we die for Sun Quan?" Gu said. Yong smiled slightly, it seems that Wu Jun will belong to the three of them in the future.

"Yuan Tan's words are reasonable, so let's write back to Lu Rui immediately and agree to serve Lord Sikong?" Zhu Huan asked Gu Yong tentatively.

"Master, Old General Sun is here." The butler entered the study and reported to Gu Yong.

"Okay, please come in, General Sun."

"Yuan Tan? You invited Sun Ben?"

"That's right, Sun Quan is going to send Sun Yi to lead troops to guard Wu Jun. If we don't make some meritorious service, how can we serve Lord Sikong?" Gu Yong smiled strangely, showing a complacent expression.

"Yuan Tan is clever, we have such meritorious service, we are not afraid that Master Sikong will repent and deal with us."

"Yuan Tan, the old man is here!"

"I have met Old General Sun!" Gu Yong and Zhu Huan stood up and saluted Sun Ben.

"Oh? So Hugh is here?"

"Hello, old general!"

"Does the old general know that Sun Yi is going back to Wu Jun?"

"The old man came here just for this."

"Is the old general willing to serve Lord Sikong?"

"Since I am married to Master Sikong, I will naturally help my in-laws. Sun Ce is unpopular in Jiangdong, and Sun Quan succeeded to the throne. There are also people in the Sun clan who are dissatisfied. This old man is just obeying the destiny."

"The old general said well, with the old general's assistance, Wu Commandery will definitely be attached to Lord Sikong."

"Yuan Tan has won the prize. If Wu Jun is to be attached to Lord Sikong, we must first get rid of Wu Jing!" Sun Ben showed resentment in his eyes.Originally, Sun Ben was quite powerful in Wu County, but Wu Jing was Sun Ce's uncle, so of course he helped his nephew. Sun Ce arranged for him to be idle in Yuzhang. If his daughter hadn't gotten married this time, he might not be able to bring his family to Wu County.

"What the old general said is true, Yuan Tan has a plan to get the old general to get rid of Sun Ben."

"Oh? Yuan Tan came quickly."

"Old General, is Lord Sikong's envoy still at the residence?"

"Yuan Tan means...?" Sun Ben suppressed Cao Cao's envoy, nominally waiting for Sun Quan's wishes to deal with it, but actually leaving a way out for himself.

"The old general is like this, Sun Yi and Wu Jing will definitely be captured by then..." Gu Yong whispered a few words in Sun Ben's ear.

"Yuan Tan's plan is very clever, so I will act according to Yuan Tan's plan."

"Please ask the old general to arrange this matter. Hugh and I will deploy troops in the city to prevent accidents!"

"Okay!" After finishing speaking, Sun Ben left Gu Yong's mansion.

The next day, at the Moling prefect's mansion, Cao Cao had already arrived at Moling with his civil and military guards, and Cao Ren was stationed at Xudu.

"Report! Lord Sikong, Sun Ben killed the envoy of our army and sent the body back."

Cao Cao was listening to Lu Rui's report on the treasury in Moling City at the prefect's mansion, when he heard the messenger say that the envoy was killed by Sun Ben.

"what?"

"Reporting to my lord, Sun Ben sent the body to Shenting Ridge, and General Cao Hong sent someone to bring it back."

"Oh? Ben Sikong knows, you go down and bury the envoy properly."

"promise!"

"Everyone, what do you think about the killing of our military envoy?"

"Reporting to my lord, this subordinate feels that this matter is strange. If Sun Ben wanted to deal with our army and wanted to kill our army's envoy, why did he kill our army's envoy after a day, and no one came to Moling to fight?" Guo Jia was the first to stand up and question the death of the messenger.

"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, so do you think that Sun Ben did this on purpose?" Cao Cao was not a fool, and immediately thought that it might be Sun Ben's bitter trick.

"Exactly!"

"What do you think of Bufan?"

"Reporting to my lord, Wu County is the foundation of the great clan in Jiangdong. Both Gu Yong and Zhu Huan expressed their admiration for Lord Sikong, but this time after our army marched into Shenting Ridge, neither the Gu family nor the Zhu family expressed anything. I think we should wait and see what happens, and maybe good news will come in a few days." According to Lu Rui, if Sun Ben, Gu Yong, and Zhu Huan want to join Cao Cao, they will take action in the near future; It is not too late to send troops to attack Wu County.

"Well, what Bufan said is reasonable. Our army will rest in Moling for a few more days. After the situation in Wujun clears up, we are discussing the right to enter the army!"

"My lord is wise!" (To be continued...)
