Chapter 328 Gan Ning attacks Shu

Lujiang, Shu County.

The dark clouds were pressing against the top and the heavy rain was about to fall. A crisp sound of gold and iron clashing came from the backyard of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, with a faint sound of shouting and shouting in the middle. Sun Jing hurriedly opened the yard door and rushed into the backyard. Looking up, Sun Quan, who was young (the book made Sun Quan's age weaker) was fighting with a young man about fifteen years old.

The two of them fought back and forth with swords and guns.

"Zhongmou, Tong'er!" Sun Jing rushed to the side of the battle group, covered her face and cried, "Don't practice martial arts first, go to the front hall to see your father for the last time."

"Ah? Father!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he hurriedly abandoned his sword on the ground, and ran away with a long howl to the sky.

"Uncle." Ling Tong, who was only fifteen years old, stepped forward and asked Sun Jing, "Didn't the adoptive father lead the army to conquer Jiangdu? When did he return to Lujiang?"

Ling Tong was originally Ling Cao's only son. When the 23 princes attacked the horses, Ling Cao died in Xingyang. Sun Jian thought that Ling Tong had lost his father and took him as his adopted son. He slept with Sun Quan, Sun Xu, and Sun Kuang's sons, and slept with the same bed when they were eating. He looked like brothers. He also ordered Jiangdong's powerful generals, Taishi Ci, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, etc. to teach martial arts, and Xu Shu, Zhou Yu and others to teach strategy.

"Oh." Sun Jing sighed, touched Ling Tong's head, and said sadly, "Tong'er, go to the front hall."

The front hall of the governor's mansion was already in sorrow.

Sun Jian was wearing a fiery red armor, covered in blood, and still looked like he was rescued by Taishi Ci. Even the three feather arrows on his back only cut off their poles and did not take out the arrow cluster. In fact, the army's ward did not dare to take out the arrow cluster, because once the arrow cluster was taken out, Sun Jian's internal organs would be blood-absorbed and might die in an instant.

"Father!"

Sun Quan rushed into the front hall quickly and saw Sun Jian who was bleeding from blood on the soft couch in the middle. He couldn't help but kneel down to the ground, walked to Sun Jian's couch, and howled while holding the soft couch. Behind Sun Quan, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, Ling Tong, Sun Yu, Sun Jiao and other Sun families knelt on the ground one after another. Mrs. Wu, who was kneeling on the side of the couch, came out of sadness and cried even more sadly.

Sun Jian stretched out his hands with difficulty and groped: "Zhong...Where is Zhongmou?"

Sun Quan hurriedly stepped forward and held Sun Jian's hands, and said tragically: "Father, the child is here."

A blood foam spilled out of the corner of Sun Jian's mouth, and he gasped and said, "Zhongmou, this Jiang... Jiangdong, Gu... I'll leave it to you... You must be good..."

Before Sun Jian could finish his words, the spirit in his eyes gradually became dim, and the dirty bloodshot slid down the corner of his mouth, and then his head tilted, and he died of anger.

"Father!"

Sun Quan shouted and fainted in front of Sun Jian's couch.

Luoyang.

It was the hot summer in June and the city of Luoyang was hot. When Ma Yuezheng was experiencing the summer heat in the Shanzhong Villa, Jia Xu, Li Su and Fa Zheng suddenly came to visit each other.

Li Su took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Lord, I just got the news that Sun Jian, the tiger in Jiangdong, is dead."

"Oh, Sun Jian is dead?" Ma Yue asked anxiously, "How did he die?"

Fa Zhengdao: "Sun Jian led a large army to attack Jiang fiercely, but he was shot and killed by Guangling Prefect Chen Deng!"

"Ah? He was shot and killed by Guangling Prefect Chen Deng!" Ma Yue was shocked and said in a lost voice, "What kind of person is this Chen Deng? Isn't he better than Xu Shu if he can actually shoot Sun Jian?"

Jia Xu said: "This Chen Deng is the son of Chen Gui, a famous scholar in Xuzhou. He has the style of a national scholar. He is a talented person and is especially good at defending the city! He is indeed a character."

"Oh." Ma Yue sighed to the sky, "Isn't it a pity that such a person cannot be used by the solitary?"

"Lord." A cunning smile suddenly flashed across Jia Xu's face and suggested, "Xu has heard that the Chen father and son always regard themselves as loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. Why don't the lord issue an edict in the name of the emperor to move Chen Deng to the prefect of Nanyang?"

"Well, move Chen Deng to the prefect of Nanyang?" Ma Yue said, "Is this plan really feasible?"

Jia Xu said: "It's almost impossible to separate one's ears."

"Okay!" Ma Yue was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "If Chen Deng had to guard Nanyang, I would be able to rest assured."

Fa Zhengdao: "Lord, I also have a plan below, called driving a tiger and swallowing a wolf. It may be possible to kill Sun Quan without any effort and pacify Jiangdong."

"Oh." Ma Yue said happily, "Are you going to have a plan?"

Fa Zheng said: "After Sun Jian died, his eldest son Sun Ce was quite brave, but unfortunately he died before Sun Jian in the battle of Qingniuai. His second son Sun Quan was only weak and his prestige was not comparable to his father and brother. He was eager to succeed the throne and was anxious to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong! The lord only needs to condemn a debater to go to Puyang, move him with emotion and lure him with profit, and he will surely prompt Yuan Shao to send troops."

"Well, it's a good plan!" Ma Yue said, "As long as Yuan Shao sends troops, even if he can't kill Sun Quan and pacify Jiangdong, at least he can greatly reduce the strength of the Sun clan in Jiangdong. He can't make it happen within a few years. OK, then I'll trouble Ziyan to take a trip to Puyang."

Li Su said happily: "Su dares not obey orders."

Ma Yue paused and continued: "Although the wheat in spring is not harvested, the following autumn grain seems to be a rare year of bumper harvest. I thought that the battle to attack Shu could start preparations in advance. The so-called three armies have not moved, and food and grass will come first. The preparation of military rations is important, but the candidates for leading the army are particularly important. I wonder if the three people have suitable candidates?"

Li Su and Fa Zheng's eyes turned to Jia Xu at the same time. On the major issues such as the appointment and removal of the head coach, the two thought they did not have any say in front of Ma Yue, and only Jia Xu was qualified to answer among the three.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and replied: "General Gao Shun is still in charge of justice but not in charge of the strange army. He can lead the army to attack Jiameng Pass head-on. The major general is the best candidate for the surprise attack of the commander of the partial division. His reputation is enough to shock the Sichuan gentry. Unfortunately, he has already led his troops to the Western Regions. Therefore, the commander of the surprise attack of the partial division is not qualified unless the lord!"

"What!?" Li Su was shocked when he heard this. He jumped out to refute Jia Xu's opinion for the first time since he became a member of Ma Yue, and said loudly, "The military advisor's words are bad. The security of the lord is of great importance. How can you take risks lightly? This is too risky. The lord must not listen to the military advisor's words, otherwise he may be in danger."

A knowing smile flashed across Fa Zheng's face and said to Li Su: "Why don't Brother Ziyan listen to the military advisor finishing his words?"

"Oh?" Li Su seemed to have some understanding and said, "What is the military advisor?"

"Hahaha." Jia Xu smiled, "What I mean is that it is not enough to shock the gentry in Sichuan if it is not personally present, and he did not say that he really wanted the lord to lead the troops to Xichuan in person."

"I understand." Li Su said suddenly, "It turned out that he was asking Lord Qiao Zhuang to lead the troops. Huh, it was a false alarm."

Jia Xu and Fa Zheng looked at each other and smiled.

Ma Yue said: "Wenhe, you haven't mentioned the candidate for the coach yet."

Jia Xu said: "There are many generals under the lord's tent. Major Generals Ma Chao, Fang Yue, Xu Huang, and Gan Ning are all good at fighting, and they are enough to lead an army alone. However, the battle to attack Shu is not a small matter. The road to enter Shu from Yinping Road is difficult to move. After entering Shu, the army is even more alone and there are enemies on all sides. The decisive decision of the leading general will directly affect the success or failure of the battle to attack Shu. We must be careful."

Ma Yue said: "Summary."

Jia Xu said: "General Fang Yue has more strength but his chances are not enough. General Xu Huang defends like a rock but lacks sharpness. Only General Gan Ning is both wise and brave, and is also from Linjiang. He is familiar with the geography of Sichuan. There are also elite naval forces under his command. Why not ask General Gan Ning to lead the navy from Yinping Road to attack Shu?"

Puyang.

Since the emperor conferred the three sons and nephews of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao moved his General's Mansion from Yecheng, Hebei to Puyang south of the Yellow River to show his determination to compete with Xu and Yang.

In the hall, Li Su was talking: "Sun Jian died in battle, Jiangdong was shocked, the eldest son Sun Ce died early, the second son Sun Quan, the third son Sun Yi, and the fourth son Sun Kuang were all young and difficult to take on major responsibilities. The ministers in Jiangdong each made their own interests and struggled endlessly. Rebellions were launched in the mountains and rivers of each county, burning, killing, and looting. The gentry in various places were fluctuating and building docks to defend themselves. All these were different. This was a good opportunity for Duke Wei. Why not raise troops to attack Jiangdong?"

"Um."

Yuan Shao was very moved when he heard this. When Li Su said this, he thought it was a great opportunity to attack Jiangdong.

The counselor, the staff, came out of the line and persuaded him: "Lord, no."

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "Why not?"

Shen Pei said: "Although Sun Jian died, Xu Shu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhou Yu are all powerful ministers!"

Feng Ji said: "They are good at planning, good governance, or good at managing the army. They are the best in the world and should not be underestimated! Although there are chaos in Yangzhou counties, they may soon be quelled. The rebellion of Shanyue is ultimately a disease of mustard moss, which is not a problem. Moreover, there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in the east, and there is no naval army under the lord's tent. How can he cross the river to attack? If the lord listens to Li Su's words, he may cause trouble and the destruction will not be far away."

Yuan Shao had no plans, and hesitated when he heard this, and hesitated: "This..."

Li Su's eyes rolled and he sneered: "Xu Shu was unparalleled in the world, but in the battle of Jiangdu, he killed Sun Jian's life; Zhang Zhao was unparalleled in internal affairs, and under his command, the four counties of Jiangdong were in trouble, and natural disasters continued; Zhou Yu's army was in power in the world, and no one could do anything to his right, and nearly 10,000 elite Wu troops were killed by our major general 800 cavalry. Not only did Sun Ce die in battle, Zhou Yu himself was also seriously injured!"

"This kind of capable minister who is unparalleled in history is rare in ancient and modern times."

When you are a friend, you can’t speak for your words.

Li Su turned casually and said loudly: "It's not to be hiding from it. The Prime Minister originally intended to lead the army to attack Jiangdong, but Yangzhou is the eldest son of Duke Wei. If the Prime Minister rashly leads troops to attack, it will not hurt the harmony between the two families. Now that Duke Wei has no intention of attacking, he can go back to Luoyang to report to the Prime Minister. It is expected that the Prime Minister will lead troops south to attack Jiangdong soon."

After saying that, Li Su bowed to Yuan Shao for a long time and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Let's wait." Yuan Shao said anxiously, "Mr. Li Su, please stay."

Li Su said: "Why did Mr. Wei see the teachings?"

Yuan Shao said decisively: "Please surrender the Prime Minister, I will raise my troops south soon and attack Jiangdong!"

Lujiang, the governor's mansion.

The breeze was blowing in the backyard pavilion, and Sun Quan, who was dressed in a heavy filial piety, sat across the desk with Xu Shu, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu.

After half a year of upcoming, Zhou Yu's health has been fully recovered. When he was about to lead the navy to Jiangdu to assist in the war, the bad news suddenly came, and Sun Jian was in trouble in one battle!

Xu Shu unfolded a scroll of books and said in a heavy tone: "The prefect of Kuaiji Quanrou reported urgently that the scholars of Jiaozhou were eroding the counties south of Kuaiji. The prefect of Yuzhang Lu Fan was in an emergency. Haihunshanyue (one of the many mountain and mountain) wrapped tens of thousands of people and robbed the surrounding counties. The thieves were in great force. Please send troops to suppress them quickly."

"Things are not the end." Sun Quan raised the secret letter in his hand and looked around the three of them and said, "My uncle (Sun Jian's wife and brother Wu Jing, Huainan Yin) just condemned people to send a secret letter. Yuan Shao was constantly increasing troops to the Huainan border, and a large amount of food and supplies were also continuously transporting from the north to Liang State and Qiao County. It seems that he is afraid he will attack Huainan."

Zhang Zhao sighed and said, "The civil strife has not yet been settled, and external troubles have arisen again. What should we do and what should we do?"

"Lord, don't worry." Zhou Yu's brow suddenly spread out and said casually, "Yu thought the situation was far from being curbed, so he should take the initiative to send troops instead of trapping Jiangdong."

"Telemen on the initiative?"

Xu Shu's face changed slightly, as if he was thinking.

Zhang Zhao simply suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and asked: "The so-called army has not moved, food and grass will go first. Now the counties in Jiangdong are in poverty and cover, so how can we support the army to go to the expedition? Moreover, the army is out of the expedition, so what should we use to defend Huainan and Lujiang? Should we really let Yuan Shao's army attack Jiangdong?"

"Yuan Shao?" Zhou Yu sneered, "Yuan Shao is just a fat pig raised by a horse butcher. Our army only needs to send troops to capture Guangling and capture Chen Deng to avenge the lord. Even if it is scared, it can scare Yuan Shao back. There is no need to mobilize one soldier or one soldier to guard against Yuan Shao."

"It's easy to say." Zhang Zhao said disapprovingly, "The lord personally led a 30,000 army to attack Jiangdu for several months, but it was unable to capture it. I wonder what good strategies Gong Jin can do to capture Jiangdu and capture and kill Chen Deng? I asked Gong Jin again, how many troops would be mobilized to attack Jiangdu, and where would he mobilize food and grass?"

Zhou Yu said loudly: "Yu only needs three thousand elite soldiers to defeat Jiangdu and capture Chen Deng!"

Zhang Zhao said in a vocal voice: "Ah, three...three thousand elite soldiers!?"

Sun Quan also changed his color slightly.

Xu Shu's face was a little uneasy. Xu Shu assisted Sun Jian with an army of 30,000 to attack Jiangdu for more than three months. They all returned in vain under Chen Deng's counterattack, and eventually ruined Sun Jian's life. However, Zhou Yu said that he only needed three thousand elite troops to capture Jiangdu and capture Chen Deng alive, which was tantamount to slapping Xu Shu in the face.

Zhou Yu obviously saw the changes in Xu Shu's psychology and smiled at him and explained: "Yu has no intention of despising the military advisor, nor is he pretending to be arrogant. The military advisor is wise and no one can surpass him in the world. Yu has always admired him. There is another reason why Jin Yu said that only three thousand elite soldiers could capture Jiangdu."

Xu Shu said: "I hope to hear the details."

Zhou Yu said: "Our army was defeated and the first lord died in battle. It was when morale was low and the three armies were mourning. Moreover, civil strife in Jiangdong counties broke out. It was time for one to take care of themselves. Chen Deng did not expect that our army would attack Jiangdu at this time. This was one of them. The first lord died in battle and the soldiers of the three armies were eager to avenge him. This was the second one. Our army attacked Jiangdu for more than three months. Although it was not conquered, the city of Jiangdu collapsed and the materials were exhausted. It was difficult to make up for it. You can take advantage of the situation to attack him. This was the third one. The Jiangdu defenders were trapped for a long time and were exhausted. If you suddenly relax, you will be lazy in the army and have no fighting spirit. This is the fourth one. If there are these four, why worry about the Jiangdu unsuccessful Chen Deng? "

Xu Shu was moved in a terrifying manner.

Sun Quan slapped the table and said sternly: "I should join Gong Jin in confronting Chen Deng and avenge my father!"

Zhou Yu and Xu Shu nodded gently.

Obviously, Sun Quan's words were not on a whim, but a decision made after careful consideration. Sun Quan was far inferior to Nai's brother Sun Ce in terms of martial arts, and Sun Quan could not be compared with Nai's father Sun Jian in terms of prestige. If it were not for the remaining power of his father and brother, Sun Quan would not have become the lord of Jiangdong at all!

But the remaining power of his father and brother can only help Sun Quan for a while, but not for him for a lifetime.

How to establish his prestige next depends entirely on Sun Quan himself, so Sun Quan must use the battle to attack Chen Deng to establish his prestige in the army! Sun Jian led a 30,000 army to attack Jiangdu for more than three months but failed. If Sun Quan could really capture Jiangdu with three thousand elite troops and Jiangdong gentry, how would the soldiers of the three armies view Sun Quan?

Although Sun Quan is young, this kid is very thoughtful.

Zhang Zhao didn't know Sun Quan's concern and urgently advised: "The so-called "the overturn of the car in the past and the lesson of the car in the future" is that the first lord has died in the battle of Jiangdu. The lord should not be in danger."
