"Zijing, Big Brother is going to attack Yangzhou!" In a study room, two people were drinking. An exceptionally handsome young man was talking to another young man beside him. This man's appearance made people feel comfortable, but his eyes were emitting a purple light.
Blue eyes, this was the sign of the Overlord. In the past, the Overlord of Western Chu had these blue eyes. It was because of this vision that so many people followed Xiang Yu, allowing Xiang Yu to become the Overlord of the world. But if this person in front of him was the eldest son, then how good would it be? Perhaps his brother was not so outstanding, then perhaps his blue eyes would really become the symbol of the Overlord.
Unfortunately, he had the symbol of the Overlord, but his brother was a real Overlord. Although he did not have Sun Quan's blue eyes, he had inherited the Overlord of Western Chu's legacy. The title of Jiangdong's Little Overlord was not a joke. Jiangdong was also fought by his brother. Sun Quan's ability was completely overshadowed by his brother.
Everyone knew about Jiangdong's Sun Ce, but how many people knew about Sun Quan?
"Attack Yangzhou?" When Lu Su heard this, he put down the wine cup in his hand. "Didn't Jiang Xia break out in war again? Why is Wu Hou opening up the battlefield in Yangzhou? Is he not going to fight with Jingzhou? " Lu Su was surprised. Jiang Xia was now in a fierce war. Whether it was Jingzhou or Jiangdong, they were increasing the bargaining chip in Jiang Xia. The two sides added up to more than 100,000 soldiers. Every day, there would be organized wars. Most of Jiangdong's money and provisions were sent to Jiang Xia. Lu Su's current job was to coordinate the delivery of some military provisions. If he attacked Yangzhou again, then he must have reached some secret agreement with Jingzhou's Liu Biao.
Hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Quan shook his head. "The war in Jiang Xia is no longer under Big Brother's control." Previously, Jiangdong and Jingzhou had reached a tacit understanding. Sun Ce would deal with Lü Bu, while Jingzhou's Liu Biao would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. However, because of Han Dang and Huang Gai, they attacked the Jingzhou Navy and took Sanjiangkou, causing an uproar in Jingzhou. Jingzhou's Liu Biao was angry with his brother's betrayal. In order to give Jingzhou an explanation, he launched a counterattack. His brother had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Therefore, the current war situation in Jiangxia is not something that can be stopped just because his big brother said so. This also depends on the attitude of Jing Province.
"This Zhuge Kongming is really a Hidden Dragon!" Lu Su blinked his lips. Zhuge Kongming was the most talked about person in Jiangdong. He was not even 20 years old, but he was already a military strategist. This was nothing because Zhuge Kongming was also a noble family in Jingzhou. His teacher, Shui Jing, was also able to get this position by relying on his reputation. The key point was that Zhuge Kongming was simply a monster. He relied on himself to fight so many strategists in Jiangdong. Even Zhou Yu lamented that Zhuge Kongming would be a great enemy of Jiangdong. The Jingzhou Navy had been defending against the attacks of the Jiangdong Navy, but now it was as if they had become a different person. They frequently attacked and caused heavy losses to the Jiangdong Navy. Since Zhuge Kongming took control of the Jiangxia Navy, the losses of the Jiangdong Navy were comparable to the losses in the past few years.
Lu Su was interested in Zhuge Kongming because compared to Zhuge Kongming, Lu Su simply did not feel good. They were the same age and it was also their first official post, but the gap between them was so big. Lu Su also thought that he was not worse than anyone else. However, after being recommended by Zhou Yu, he went to Lujiang with Marquis Wu Sun Ce. In the end, they were defeated. Lu Su was also captured and had to be bought back by Marquis Wu. This was simply a great humiliation.
Zhuge Kongming had now become the leader of Jiang Xia. The entire situation in Jiang Xia was under his control. The more he fought, the smoother it became. Compared to the two, one was a positive example and the other a negative example.
"So Marquis Wu wants to fight on two fronts?" Lu Su sighed and then put his focus back on Sun Ce's plan in Jiangdong.
"Yes!" Sun Quan nodded. After receiving Sun Quan's affirmative answer, Lu Su could not help but frown.
Fighting on two fronts was a military taboo. If there were enough troops or supplies, it would be fine. Otherwise, once the troops were divided, it would be a disaster and they would be defeated by the enemy one by one.
Yangzhou was bound to fight against Liu Mang. Although Lu Su also wanted to set foot on Yangzhou's land and compete with the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, he also knew that Liu Mang was not a simple person. He had the City Guard and the Black Flag Army in his hands. Speaking of the Black Flag Army, Lu Su's expression was a bit strange. This was because the Black Flag Army was given to them by Jiangdong. It was the army of Jiangdong's Governor Zhou Yu. Unfortunately, it was pushed to Liu Mang's hands and now it became an obstacle for Jiangdong. If Marquis Wu ascended to Yangzhou, Lü Bu would not stand idly by. Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Formation Breaker were similar.
"Big brother sent troops to Yangzhou because of Linhuai Qin Feng!" Sun Quan continued to explain.
"Linhuai Qin Feng?" Lu Su didn't know who this Qin Feng was, but he knew about Linhuai. It could be said that this was the only place in Jiangdong that was located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Before Lujiang was lost, Linhuai was of little value. It was tasteless to eat, but it was a pity to throw it away. But after Lujiang was lost, Linhuai's status rose sharply.
"Linhuai, sigh!" Lu Su also had a headache. If he was Sun Ce, he would not dare to lose Linhuai. If he lost Linhuai, then his road to Zhongyuan would be blocked. This was also the reason why Sun Ce attacked Wancheng City even though he knew that Jiangxia was in a good situation.
"But fortunately, Liu Mang is also fighting on two fronts!" Sun Quan continued.
"En?" Lu Su raised his head and his eyes lit up.
"Liu Bei of Yuzhou killed Liu Mang's messenger in Jingzhou. How can Liu Mang let this go? So he sent troops to Nanyang!"
If Liu Mang was also fighting on two fronts, then this battle could still be fought. Everyone was on the same level, so there was nothing that could not be fought. Moreover, Sun Ce still had a city in Linhuai. Qin Feng also had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They were sent as reinforcements. Although Liu Bei's Army was weakened in Yangzhou and even lost the White Eared Heavy Armor, the Xiliang Wolf Cavalry was also in his hands. Zhang Xiu was killed by Liu Bei, so Nanyang was now occupied by Liu Bei.
So this battle could be fought.
"Zhongmou, what do you mean?" Lu Su looked at his friend in front of him and asked. No matter where Sun Ce is going to send his troops, it has nothing to do with Sun Quan. Sun Quan is just an idle position. Sun Quan is fighting for hegemony. His brother has many civil and military officials. It can be said that Sun Quan is superfluous.
"Zijing! I am almost 30 years old. People say that one can stand up when they are 30, but where can you and I stand? Just drinking tea and drinking wine here? For more than 20 years, my elder brother has always been like a mountain in front of me. For more than 20 years, I have been telling myself that this is my elder brother and that he should be stronger than me. But Zijing, don't you want to prove yourself? "Sun Quan looked at Lu Su and said.
"Huh?" Lu Su frowned. He could feel Sun Quan's gaze. That kind of eagerness, that kind of persistence. The reason why Lu Su resigned from Sun Ce was because he knew that Sun Ce was not the lord he wanted. But the one in front of him was. Lu Su also hoped that Sun Quan would be able to take over the reins of power. But Sun Quan should also know that as long as his brother was still alive, Sun Quan would not have any chance.
"This time, I must go to Yangzhou. I want the world to know that the Sun family not only has Sun Ce in Jiangdong, but also Sun Zhongmou!" Sun Quan suddenly stood up. This was an opportunity. If this continued, Sun Quan would definitely be annihilated in Jiangdong.
His elder brother Sun Ce was in the prime of his life. If there was no serious illness or disaster, Sun Quan might be suppressed for a lifetime. So Sun Quan could not stand it anymore. It was a very uncomfortable feeling to have no place to display his skills.
"Sigh!" Lu Su looked at his best friend in front of him. He wanted to dissuade Sun Quan, but he swallowed his words. He had been under Sun Ce's halo for too long. It was too oppressive. Every time someone mentioned Sun Quan, they would say that he was Sun Ce's younger brother, or Sun Jian's son, but not Sun Zhongmou.
…
"You said that Zhongmou wants to lead the troops to Linhuai?" Sun Ce drank the wine in his hand and asked Zhang Zhao.
"Yes, Milord!" Zhang Zhao stood at the side and said respectfully to Sun Ce.
"How many troops does he want to bring?" Sun Ce asked calmly.
"Second Young Master said that he only needs 10,000 elite troops from Milord. He will raise the rest himself!" Zhang Zhao also cautiously said to Sun Ce.
"Raise his own troops? Where did he get the troops? Where did he get the authority to raise his own troops?" Sun Ce suddenly stood up, his face full of anger.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Zhao rarely saw his Lord so angry. "It's the Wu family, the Lu family, the Chen family, and the Zhang family. These nobles are willing to support Second Young Master. They raised 30,000 troops!"
"Wu family, the Zhang family, the Lu family, and the Chen family?" Sun Ce's eyes narrowed. "This is really a good deal. 30,000 soldiers and horses, 10,000 shi of provisions. When this marquis went to Wancheng city, he did not see such sincerity. Now, Zhongmou actually has such ability?" Although Sun Ce was a bit reckless, he was not a fool. When he attacked Lujiang, more than a dozen nobles joined forces and only 60,000 troops and provisions were brought by him. But now, these four nobles were able to raise 30,000 troops. Did they really think that he, Sun Ce, was a fool?
Sun Ce also knew that his younger brother was very popular in Jiangdong, but he did not expect him to be so popular. 30,000 troops and 10,000 shi of provisions were taken out so easily. Sun Ce was the Lord of Jiangdong, not Sun Ce. If these 30,000 troops were a little unruly, Sun Ce did not dare to imagine the consequences. Sun Ce's main force was now in Jiangxia. Sun Ce did not have the troops in his rear. How could he feel at ease?
"Sure enough, it's as Gong Jin expected!" Sun Ce murmured to himself. His murderous aura was from the battlefield, which made Zhang Zhao, who was beside him, feel a chill. Fortunately, the Zhang family mentioned before was not Zhang Zhao's family. Originally, Zhang Zhao also wanted to participate in this second young master, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up. Although the second young master was good, he was not the real master of Jiangdong. Fortunately, he gave up. Looking at Sun Ce's appearance, someone was going to be unlucky.
When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were together, Zhou Yu often reminded Sun Ce that his second brother was not someone easy to deal with. He was very capable. When Sun Ce was 14 years old, he was able to properly manage Ji Yi City. Zhou Yu had already noticed this second young master. If he only had the ability to govern, Zhou Yu would be convinced. However, this second young master was not willing to submit to others. He made friends with the nobles, made friends, and even tried to win the hearts of the people. What was he trying to do? Zhou Yu thought. Zhou Yu was not willing to submit to others. This was completely the appearance of a wise lord, which made people vigilant. Although Sun Ce's identity was noble, in the end, he was just a second young master. Jiangdong still belonged to Sun Ce.
At that time, Sun Ce only smiled at Zhou Yu's words. But now, he really found that he had underestimated his second brother. When he was the master of Jiangdong, when he went to Lujiang, he recruited soldiers from the nobles. Sun Ce paid a lot of money and gave a lot of promises to get them to send soldiers. But his second brother immediately stood up and publicly supported Sun Ce. If it was someone like Cao Cao, he was afraid that Sun Ce would have been dragged down. Even if he was not killed, he would be under house arrest for the rest of his life.
Sun Ce also wanted to take action. The coldness on his face made Zhang Zhao tremble with fear. Sun Ce did not have any real power, but he was able to get the support of several nobles. What if he was given military power? Sun Ce did not dare to imagine.
Sun Ce gently raised his arm. Zhang Zhao below knew that as long as he waved his arm, regardless of what happened to the nobles, this second young master would probably be far away from the center of power.
But in the end, Zhang Zhao did not see what he thought. He saw Sun Ce take a deep breath and withdraw his hand. A long sigh echoed in the room. "Zhang Zhao, let Zhongmou go to the battle of Linhuai! Transfer 10,000 soldiers from the Jianye Navy. No, "Sun Ce shook his head." Transfer 20,000 soldiers to Zhongmou, Lu Meng, and Ling Cao! Tell them that they can lose the army, but they must ensure Zhongmou's safety! "
"My lord, what are you doing?" Zhang Zhao was also stunned. Wasn't this lord going to deal with his younger brother? How did it become like this? 20,000 soldiers? One must know that the entire Jianye Navy only had 30,000 soldiers.
"Leave! Tell those nobles that although I am transferring soldiers, they can forget about taking away any grain from me! "Sun Ce waved his hand. He was really a little tired.
