In Danyang County, Jiangdong, Mu Tongque from Yangzhou, and his righteous brother Sun Jian met with his grandson to discuss major events.

"I want to build a stone city here, change Moling County to Jianye County, and use Stone City as the main city to conquer the Central Plains and Qingxu."

The bronze bird pointed to an expanding city by the Yangtze River.

Stone City is already a small city at this time. As long as Tongque is willing to pay for it, Stone City can be upgraded to a large city in a very short time.

Sun Jian was puzzled: "Wu County has millions of fertile land, so why not use Wu County as the main city, but rebuilt a city?"

"I have to guard the natural danger of the Yangtze River myself, and I can attack when advancing and defend when retreating. Moreover, building a stone city has another meaning."

The Stone City in history was originally built by Sun Quan.

Since Sun Quan could no longer rule Jiangdong, Tongque wanted to build a stone city by himself.

Wuxian was later Suzhou.

Although Suzhou and Hangzhou are good, they are gentle towns. The forces with Wu County as the main city often lack enterprising spirit.

Sun Quan was much better than Zhao Gou who fled to Hangzhou. At least Sun Quan was in charge of Shitou City and personally made an expedition to the north, while Zhao Gou also stopped his generals from expedition to the north.

"I heard that the mansion gave birth to a daughter not long ago."

Tongque mentioned something to Sun Jian.

“That’s right.”

"In my opinion, his name may be taken as Sun Shangxiang."

"Sun Shangxiang... Thank you for your name."

Sun Jian was a little surprised and finally accepted the proposal.

The bronze bird is trying hard to maintain the direction of Jiangdong.

If his descendants can marry Sun Jian's descendants in the future, the relationship between the two families will be closer, and together, completely incorporate the Sun family into their own family.

"Lord, Zhao Long, Jizhou, sent an envoy to be waiting in the lord's mansion, like this..."

Tongque was taking Sun Jian to inspect the Stone City. Military advisor Chen Ping came to Tongque and whispered.

After hearing this, Tongque's eyes changed, and he mentioned this to Sun Jian: "Brother Ye, guess what happened to Zhao Long, Jizhou, who sent someone to come?"

When Sun Jian saw that Tongque was heartbroken, he did not regard him as an outsider at all. After thinking carefully, he replied: "Zhao Longding asked for his brother Yu Yi, so he sent someone to come. He thought that this matter was related to the war in Hebei."

"That's right. Since we have decided to be proactive, we cannot sit and wait for death. However, some small and medium-sized lords, who have become civilians in the mountains and bound for the people, still occupying various counties and need time to completely pacify them. There is also a large vassal in Fujian. So I want to divide a group of troops, Yu Yi, and capture Huainan. Defending the river must defend Huainan. Huainan will be a hidden danger sooner or later in the hands of Chu Zimou."

"If the righteous brother can capture Hefei and Shouchun, then the righteous brother can be transferred from Chaisang to Shouchun. The land in Huainan is owned by the righteous brother, how about it?"

If Tongque wants to use Sun Jian's power, he must pay the corresponding price, and Huainan is his promise to Sun Jian.

"When I was in trouble, Yidi was not afraid, but I took it in sincerity. Now I was in trouble, how could I stand by and watch! Just give it to Yidi to me? All the lands in Huainan are owned by Yidi!"

Sun Jian took the initiative to undertake the task of attacking Huainan.

"With a fierce tiger in Jiangdong, I can be worry-free!"

Tongque successfully encouraged Sun Jian to attack Huainan for himself, and was overjoyed.

When Sun Jian was sent to attack Huainan, Tongque also had the intention to weaken Sun Jian's power. Sun Jian fled from Jingnan to Chaisang and Lujiang areas, bringing many old subordinates.

Sun Ce, who had originally planned to attack Xuchang in the Battle of Guandu, failed because of his assassination.

Now, Tongque wants Sun Ce’s father, Sun Jian, to implement this plan.

Sun Ce, who is already sixteen, has higher strength in his martial arts and follows his father Sun Jian. Behind Tongque is Zhou Yu, who is about the same age as Sun Ce.

There were military generals in ancient times who could go to the battlefield at the age of twelve or thirteen. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu already had some abilities.

These two people are also talents trained by Tongque for himself, just like Chu Tian trained Zhuge Liang, Liao Hua and others.

Jingzhou, Xiangyang, and Yang Shilang set up schools and found officials to search for famous scholars in the world.

When the Battle of Yuzhou broke out, Yang Shilang secretly sent cavalry and players to seize the talents of Tang in advance, including Mr. Shuijing Sima Wei.

It is said that Tang has a weak power, and even though he knows that Mr. Mizumi Mitsuko was snatched away by Yang Shiro, he did not turn against Yang Shiro after learning the news.

Sima Wei was unwilling to become an official and talk to Tang, nor was he willing to be forced to teach his disciples.

Sima Wei just acted casually.

Even if Tang still controls Sima Wei, it has little effect on him.

Mr. Shui Jing was plundered to Xiangyang and did not become an official.

However, Yang Shilang introduced two talents to Sima Wei, Xu Shu and Pang Tong. Pang Tong was only twelve years old at this time, and he took Mr. Shui Jing as his teacher, so he could do something.

Although Sima Wei was dissatisfied with Yang Shilang forcibly kidnapped him to Jingzhou, Jingzhou is indeed relatively peaceful now and is in love with Xu Shu and Pang Tong, so he is willing to stay in Xiangyang to live in seclusion and teach a few talents whom he likes.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong are looking for a suitable teacher, and Sima Wei is also looking for a suitable student?

Bole and Qianli Horse are indispensable.

Unlike the young Pang Tong who could devote himself and devote himself to studying, Xu Shu did not completely live in seclusion because he was also one of Yang Shilang's planners and was summoned by Yang Shilang from time to time to discuss countermeasures.

"Chu Zimou really went to attack Hebei. Yuzhou only had more than 100,000 troops, mainly surrendering troops. If we raise troops to attack the Central Plains again, what do Yuan Zhi think?"

Yang Shiro had the idea of ​​another northern expedition to the Central Plains.

Chu Tian's main army had crossed the Yellow River, giving Jingzhou troops another chance to peek at the Central Plains.

During this period, Xu Shu's strategic vision changed: "My lord must not be anxious. Hebei is vast, so how easy it is to attack? When the lord attacks the Central Plains, Chu Zimou will definitely retreat to the Central Plains, and the lord will return to the unsuccessful."

Yang Shilang was a little surprised by Xu Shu's strategy change: "So according to Yuan Zhi's view, what should we do?"

"Why don't the lord attack Bashu as soon as possible, then gather the power of Jingzhou and Yizhou to pacify Jiangdong, take half of the country, and then work with Guanzhong to eliminate Chu Zi's plan?"

"You mean we are the first to unify the south of the Yangtze River?"

"That's true. Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, built more than a thousand vehicles and wanted to be emperor, but he was sick. I once asked Mr. Shui Jing. Mr. Shui Jing said that Liu Yan's order was not long. Zhang Dao in Hanzhong fought with him all year round, and he relied on the Yiren Liu An to guard Zhang Dao. He had been warring for many years and the people of Bashu had been suffering for a long time."

"As long as the lord hoards troops in Jiangling and bribes Yizhou and is dissatisfied with Liu Yan, then he will attack Yizhou day and night, sending troops outside and inside, and Yizhou will soon be owned by the lord."

"In one year, in the same year, in the same year, in the same year, in the same year, in the same year, perhaps, Chu Zimou has not yet pacified Hebei."

"There are tigers in the north. Chu Zimou is located in the Central Plains and is the place of four battles. Nanyang said Tang and Jiangdong Tongque would not miss this opportunity. For Tang, he would not be willing to lose Yuzhou. For Tongque, Huainan was a must-fight place."

"There is no external troubles in Jingzhou in the lord. There is a saying in the north that the Tang Dynasty is guarding Chu Zi's plan, and in the east, Huang Zu guarding Jiangxia. It is the rapid expansion. How can we miss it?"

Xu Shu's remarks made Yang Shilang unable to help but be moved.

It is too difficult to cut a piece of meat from Chu Zimou to attack the Central Plains.

On the contrary, Liu Yan in Yizhou has never been very strong, and there are many internal conflicts in Yizhou. Because Liu Yan is an outsider, the local families in Yizhou may not all support Liu Yan.

There is also Zhang Dao from Hanzhong who never gave up attacking Yizhou.

"I will order Tang attacking Bowang, so that Chu Zimou cannot concentrate on attacking Hebei. Then we will prepare for half a year and take another half a year to capture Yizhou."

After Yang Shiro's ideas were opened by Xu Shu, he had a bigger plan in his mind.

If we take the lead in unifying the south before Chu and Tian unifies the north, and then unite with some separatist princes in the north, it may not be impossible to accomplish anything.

The battle for hegemony in the north is far more tragic than that in the south, and the great princes fought hard.

It was not that Chu Tian’s expansion was not fast enough, but that he was located in the four battles in the Central Plains, and every prince had to beat him up.

When Cao Cao rose in the Central Plains, he beat the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the Southern Xiongnu, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu...

The same is true for Chu Tian.

This has a greater relationship with the position of the power.

If Chu Tian is placed in a relatively comfortable place, the expansion will be faster.

Yang Shuro is in the south and faces relatively little resistance.

"If I wanted to take Yizhou, I thought of one person."

Yang Shiro was thinking.

Xu Shu was also a little curious: "Who is the lord talking about?"

"Ganning, Gan Xingba."

...

"Yang Shirou asked me to send troops to attack Bowang."

It is said that after the loss of Yuzhou, Tang indulged in alcohol and sex every day, until Chu Tian led the army across the Yellow River, Yang Shilang sent him to attack Yuzhou, saying that Tang had returned to normal.

Guo Ziyi, Li Daozong, Qin Qiong and others were originally worried that Tang would completely sink due to the defeat in the battle in Yuzhou.

But now it seems that their lord has not changed.

Guo Ziyi asked tentatively: "What do you think of the lord?"

Shuo Tang's eyes gradually became sharp: "You can fight, but we have to borrow soldiers from Jingzhou, at least 50,000. The defenders of Bowang are Xiahou Dun and Li Dian, but Er'er is far from you!"

"I finally have a chance to retake Yuzhou!"

The generals were ready to fight. The Central Plains War was too cowardly for them, the group of arrogant generals. They lost the entire Yuzhou.

Said Tang reached out to stop the generals: "This may be our last chance, we can't always rely on others."
