Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 32 I Draw a Big Pie for Soochow

"That's my strategy."

Liu Feng led Lu Su to a map hanging in the hall.

"The Wu army went northward with all its strength and attacked Guangling."

"Chen Deng has the ability to govern a city, and he also defeated the rebellious general Sun Ce and the noble lord Wuhou twice."

"But how many soldiers and horses does he have in Guangling? More than ten thousand."

"Further to the north is Zang Ba, governor of Xuzhou. This man was a general under Lu Bu's command in the past. His literary and military strategy is second only to Zhang Liao."

"But now he is restrained by Chen Lan, the old subordinate of Yuan Shu who captured the Jianghuai generation. At this time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army Xu He and Sima Ju revolted again. According to the reports from the northern spies, Xia Houyuan has already gathered troops and horses, and joined the two armies of Zang Ba Go out together and go to encircle and suppress."

"If Marquis Wu is willing to lure him with money, grain, the position of General Zhonglang, and the post of Prefect of Jiujiang, Chen Lan will not lead his army eastward, and attack Guangling back and forth with Marquis Wu's army."

Lu Su hesitated for a moment, and moved his fingers slowly along the river bank to Hefei, "For this battle, we need to ambush an army in advance, cross the river and encircle Hefei, so that Zhang Liao dare not send troops to help."

Liu Feng laughed, "With all due respect, the biggest variable in the battle of Hefei lies in Zhang Liao."

"But Soochow also has a general who is enough to refuse."

Lu Su narrowed his eyes, "Gan Ning?"

"good."

"Young General, Dong Wu is really in control of me. If you want to go northward, you have to mobilize more than [-] soldiers. In this way, you need to win quickly within two or three months. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Wu Zhong The mountains in the hinterland will cause chaos."

"What's more, at this moment, I'm also worried about Uncle Liu Huang, who will sneak attack me Jiangxia from behind." To attack Hefei and Guangling, and take down the two important towns in Jiangbei, the Soochow navy currently stationed in Jiangxia has to be transferred.

Liu Feng narrowed his eyes, "Don't worry about Zijing. You captured Guangling and Hefei, and our army captured Xiangfan, threatening Cao Cao's army from both directions. It will benefit everyone to make money together. Why not do it."

"If our army sneaks into your army's hinterland, wouldn't it be against the alliance? If you turn around and form an alliance with Cao Cao, wouldn't our army be asking for trouble?"

Lu Su was full of hesitation, "Before you seized Nanjun, it was a betrayal of the alliance. I, Soochow, can trust you again."

Liu Feng raised a hand, "The sun and the moon can learn from each other, Zijing, you Soochow lost Nanjun for 20 years, but what have you gained?"

"The children of Marquis Wu's Sun family can come to Jiangling. My wife is entrusted with the land to settle down. What does it mean to Jiangdong that the daughter of Wucheng Marquis Sun Jian is conferred as Marquis?"

"It means that you, the Sun family of Eastern Wu, can be famous forever. This is printing. Some people think that it should be the most dazzling skill in the Eastern Han Dynasty."

Lu Su was silent.

Liu Feng pointed to Jiangdong, "Recently there has been a lot of news from Jiangdong that Marquis Wu is building a large-scale construction project. He has built more than 20 school houses in various counties and counties of Yangzhou in one go, and there are more than [-] printing workshops. He even recruited students over the age of six. Toddlers go to school."

"Ten years later, you will have hundreds of thousands of educated people in Jiangdong. Could it be that you haven't made any money?"

"Let me tell you Lu Zijing, you Dongwu can doubt my father, you can also doubt Zhuge Junshi, but you can't doubt me Liu Feng."

"I, Liu Zijin, should be fine with you."

"30 shi, planning to attack Guangling and Hefei, is not worth 30 shi. There is no natural danger to defend. In the future, when Cao Cao regains his vitality and marches southward, how can our army guard the two places?"

"I'm afraid I have to be driven back to Jiangnan in despair."

Lu Su was not moved by Liu Feng, but instead pointed out the biggest loophole in Liu Feng's plan.

"Then go all the way north, and after capturing these two places, take all the cities south of the Huai River all the way."

"The Huaihe River is naturally dangerous. I wonder if it is possible to let Soochow manage the foundation of Yuan Shu's proclaiming emperor in the past?"

When Lu Su heard this, his heart skipped a beat!

"However, Su still needs Uncle Liu's promise."

"Zi respect, but it doesn't matter." In the back hall, Liu Bei had walked out with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu at some point.

Lu Su was slightly startled, so the three of them were listening in the back hall to what the two of them said.
"Zi respect you and reply to Marquis Wu. If Soochow does not withdraw for a day, I, Liu Bei, will not withdraw from the alliance. No matter if it is two months or half a year, I, Liu Bei, the descendant of the Han queen, is obliged to fight Cao's bandits and help the Han Dynasty. .”

Lu Su bowed abruptly, "Uncle Gao Yi, Lu Su admires him."

"cough cough"

Liu Feng coughed twice untimely, "How many days will it take for the 30 stone grain and grass to arrive?"

"Jiangdong needs to arrange some time. Within two months, a batch of [-] days will be transported to Jiangling by water six times. I don't know if it will be possible."

Liu Feng nodded slightly, "Of course it's excellent."

With his back to Liu Bei's hand, he gestured a finger silently.

Liu Bei, who was talking and laughing with Lu Su, twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Cursing secretly in my heart: "This prodigal son."
