Chapter 405 Linhuai Coach
"Zijing, brother is going to send troops to Yangzhou!" In a study room, the two were drinking each other. An extremely beautiful young man was talking to another young man next to him. This man looked very comfortable, but his eyes were emitting purple light.
The blue eyes and pupils are the conscript of the overlord. The Western Chu king was the blue eyes and pupils. It was this vision that made so many people follow Xiang Yu and make Xiang Yu become the communist of the world. But if the person in front of him was the eldest son, how good would it be? Or if his brother was not that outstanding, perhaps the blue eyes and pupils would really become the mark of the communist.
Unfortunately, he has the logo of a king, but his brother is a real king. Although he does not have the blue-eyed talent of Sun Quan, he has obtained the inheritance of the king of Western Chu. The name of the little king of Jiangdong is not just a joke, but Jiangdong was also won by his brother. Sun Quan Guang had the ability but was completely covered up by his brother.
Everyone knows Sun Ce in Jiangdong, but how many people know about Sun Quan in Jiangdong.
"Send troops to Yangzhou?" Lu Su put down all the wine glasses in his hand when he heard this news. "Isn't a war breaking out in Jiangxia? Why is Wu Hou going to open up the battlefield in Yangzhou again? Can't he fight with Jingzhou again?" Lu Su was surprised. Jiangxia is fighting fiercely now. Whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangdong, they are increasing their bargaining chips towards Jiangxia. The two sides have more than 100,000 troops in total. Every day, a war broke out in established wars. Most of Jiangdong's money and grain were invested in Jiangxia. His current position is to coordinate the transportation of some military rations and materials. If we send troops to Yangzhou again, we must have reached a secret agreement with Liu Biao of Jingzhou.
Hearing Lu Su's words, Sun Quan shook his head, "The battle situation in Jiangxia is no longer the final word!" Jiangdong and Jingzhou reached a tacit understanding, Sun Ce dealt with Lu Bu, and Jingzhou Liu Biao sat in the mountains to watch the tiger fight, but because Han Dang and Huang Gai made a fuss, sneak attacked the Jingzhou naval army and captured Sanjiangkou, causing an uproar in the entire Jingzhou. Jingzhou Liu Biao was angry that his elder brother was betrayal and launched a counterattack in order to give Jingzhou an explanation. His elder brother had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.
So now the battle situation in Jiangxia is not something that his elder brother can stop just by saying that, it depends on Jingzhou's attitude.
"This Zhuge Kongming is really a lie-in-law!" Lu Su blinked his lips. Zhuge Kongming was the most discussed person in Jiangdong. He was less than twenty years old, but he was already a military advisor in the first army. This is nothing, because the Zhuge family was also a gentry in Jingzhou after all, and his master, Mr. Shui Jing, could get this position with his reputation. The key is that Zhuge Liang is simply a monster. With his own fighting with so many counselors in Jiangdong alone, even Zhou Yu lamented that Zhuge must be the enemy of Jiangdong. The Jingzhou navy had been defending the attack of the Jiangdong navy, but now it seems like he has become a different person. Frequent attacks have caused heavy losses to the Jiangdong navy. Since Zhuge Liang took over the Jiangxia navy, the Jiangdong navy has lost troops and horses to catch up with the combined years.
Lu Su was interested in Zhuge Liang because compared with this person, Lu Su felt bad. He was the same age and the first time he had been in office, but why was the gap between people so big? Lu Su thought he didn't have to be missed by anyone. However, after Zhou Yu's recommendation, he sent troops to Lujiang with the Marquis of Wu Sun Ce, but in the end he was defeated. Lu Su himself was captured and asked Zhang Zhao to buy him back. This was simply a shame and humiliation.
Zhuge Liang has now become the head of Jiang Xia, and the entire Jiang Xia battle situation is under his control. The more you fight, the smoother you get. Compared with the two, they are just a positive textbook and a negative textbook.
"So, Mr. Wu wants to fight on two fronts?!" Lu Su sighed and put his focus back on Sun Ce's plan in Jiangdong this time.
"Yes!" Sun Quan nodded, and after receiving Sun Quan's affirmative answer, Lu Su's brows couldn't help but frown.
Fighting on two fronts is a taboo in military law. If you have enough troops or enough supplies and rations under your command, it would be fine. Otherwise, once the troops are divided, it would be a disaster and will be defeated by the enemy one by one.
Yangzhou must be fighting against Liu Mang from Yangzhou. Although Lu Su also wanted to step on the land of Yangzhou to compete with Liu Mang, the King of Shu, he also knew that Liu Mang from Yangzhou was not a simple person. He had the city management army in his hand. The two soldiers and horses of the Black Chess Army were the elite among the elites. Speaking of this Black Chess Army, Lu Su's face was a bit strange, because this army was given to them by Jiangdong. It was the family soldier of the Jiangdong Governor Zhou Yu. Unfortunately, he pushed it into Liu Mang's hands, and now it has become an obstacle to Jiangdong. If the Marquis of Wu climbed into Yangzhou, Lu Bu would not stand by and watch. Which of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in Lu Bu's hands seemed to be with the camp.
"Brother sent troops to Yangzhou because of the Qin Peak in Linhuai!" Sun Quan continued to explain.
"Linhuai Qinfeng?!" Lu Su didn't know who this Qinfeng was, but he knew that Linhuai was in the area. This fast land can be said to be the only place on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Before Lujiang was lost, Linhuai was a piece of chicken rib. It was a pity to eat and abandon it. Since Lujiang was lost, the low level of Linhuai has been directly raised.
"Linhuai, hey!" Lu Su also had a headache. If he were Sun Ce, he would not dare to lose Linhuai. If he lost Linhuai, it would mean that his Jiangdong's way to march into the Central Plains would be blocked. This is why Sun Ce had to attack Wancheng even though he knew that Jiangxia was so good.
"But fortunately, Liu Mang in Yangzhou is also fighting on two fronts!" Sun Quan continued.
"Hmm?!" Lu Su raised his head and his eyes lit up a little.
"Liu Bei in Yuzhou killed Liu Mang's envoy in Jingzhou. How could Liu Mang give up? So he has sent troops to Nanyang!"
If Liu Mang was fighting on both sides, then this battle could still be fought. Everyone was on the same level. What could it be impossible to fight? And you should know that Sun Ce, a generation of Linhuai, still had a city on the way, and Qin Feng also had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. They went as reinforcements. Although Liu Bei's army injured his vitality in the battle of Yangzhou and even lost his white-eared and heavy armor, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was also in his hands. Zhang Xiu was killed by Liu Bei, and Nanyang has now been occupied by Liu Bei.
So this battle can be fought.
"Zhongmou, what do you mean?!" Lu Su looked at his friend in front of him and asked. No matter where Sun Ce sent troops, he actually had no relationship with Sun Quan, and Sun Quan only had a free position. He had his elder brother in the battle for dominance in the world, and his elder brother was not short of civil servants and military generals. It can be said that Sun Quan was just a redundant one.
"Zi Jing! I'm almost thirty, and people say that I can stand at thirty, but where can you and I stand here? Just drinking and tea here? For more than twenty years, my elder brother has been in front of me like a mountain. I have been telling myself for the past twenty years. This is my elder brother. My elder brother should be better than me, but don't you want to prove yourself!" Sun Quan looked at Lu Su with a flickering look and said.
"Hmm?!" Lu Su frowned. He felt Sun Quan's gaze, that kind of enthusiasm and persistence. The reason why Lu Su resigned from Sun Ce was because he knew that Sun Ce was not the lord he wanted, and the person in front of him was. He also hoped that Sun Quan could hold the power, but Sun Quan should also know that as long as his elder brother was in one day, then Sun Quan would not have any chance.
"This time, I will definitely go to Yangzhou this time. I want to let the world know that the Sun family not only has one Sun Ce in Jiangdong, but also one Sun Zhongmou!" Sun Quan suddenly stood up. This was an opportunity. If he continued like this, Sun Quan would definitely be destroyed in Jiangdong.
His brother Sun Ce is in his prime. If he does not have serious illness or disaster, he may have to suppress Sun Quan for the rest of his life, so Sun Quan can't stand it anymore. He has only one ability but nowhere to display it, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
"Oh!" Lu Su looked at the best friend in front of him. He wanted to dissuade Sun Quan, but he swallowed his words. He stayed under Sun Ce's halo for too long. It was too depressing. Every time someone mentioned that Sun Quan used Sun Ce's younger brother, or Sun Jian's son, rather than Sun Quan's Sun Zhongmou.
...
"Did you say Zhongmou want to lead troops to Linhuai?" Sun Ce drank the wine in his hand and asked Zhang Zhao next to him.
"Yes, lord!" Zhang Zhao stood aside and said respectfully to Sun Ce.
"How many soldiers he wants to bring!" Sun Ce asked calmly.
"The second young master said that he only needs the lord to give 10,000 elite troops. He will raise the remaining troops by himself!" Zhang Zhao also spoke carefully to Sun Ce.
"Crack it yourself, where did he come from the troops and where could he come from the rights!" Sun Ce suddenly stood up, his face full of anger.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Zhao was rarely seen as his lord was so angry. "It was the Wu family, Lu family, Chen family, and Zhang family. These gentry were willing to support the second son and raised 30,000 troops!"
"Wu family, Zhang family, Lu family, Chen family?" Sun Ce narrowed his eyes, "It's really easy to fight. 30,000 soldiers and horses, and 10,000 stones of food and grass. When I went to the city of Wan, I didn't see them showing such sincerity. Now Zhongmou's words are so capable?!" Although Sun Ce was a little reckless, he was not a fool. When he attacked Lujiang, more than a dozen gentry families united, and only 60,000 soldiers, grass and weapons were still carried by him. But now, these four families can raise 30,000. Do you really think that Sun Ce is a fool?
Sun Ce also knew that his younger brother was extremely happy in Jiangdong, but he didn't expect to be so happy. He took out 30,000 soldiers and ten thousand stones of grain and grass. Sun Ce was the lord of Jiangdong, not Sun Quan. If these 30,000 soldiers were a little ill, Sun Ce would not dare to imagine the consequences. You must know that Sun Ce's main force is all in the Jiangxia generation. How can Sun Ce feel at ease if he is so uncontrollable in the rear.
"It's true that it was not as expected by Gongjin!" Sun Ce murmured to himself. The murderous intent on his body was from the battlefield, which made Zhang Zhao on the side scared. Fortunately, the Zhang family mentioned earlier was not his Zhang Zhao's Zhang family. Zhang Zhao originally wanted to participate in the second son, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up. Although the second son 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 was with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu often reminded Sun Ce that his second brother was not a fuel-efficient lamp and was very capable. When Sun Quan was fourteen years old, he noticed that the second son was able to manage Kuaiji City very properly. If he only had the ability to manage, this might be the convincing Jiangdong, but this second son had a heart that was unwilling to be inferior to others. He made friends with aristocratic families, made friends, and even had other things to absorb the hearts of the people. What was he doing? This was completely like a wise ruler, and it had to be wary of people. Although Sun Quan had a noble status, he was just a second son after all, and Jiangdong still belonged to Sun Ce.
At that time, Sun Ce only smiled at Zhou Yu's words without saying anything, but now he really found that his second brother underestimated him. He was the lord of Jiangdong. When he went to Lujiang, he recruited soldiers from these gentry and said one by one. It was Sun Ce who spent a lot of money to give a lot of promises, which made them send troops. However, his second brother immediately had the aristocratic family stand up and publicly supported him. This was Sun Ce's. If someone like Cao Cao was replaced, Sun Quan would have been dragged down long ago. Even if he was not killed, he would have been under house arrest for his whole life!
Sun Ce also wanted to take action. The chill on his face made Zhang Zhao on the side frightened. It was because Sun Quan could get the support of these gentry without any real power. What if he was given military power! Sun Ce was a little unimaginable.
Sun Ce's arm was gently lifted up, and Zhang Zhao below knew that as long as he waved his arm, he would not talk about the gentry family, but the second young master might have to stay away from the center of power.
But in the end, Zhang Zhao did not see what he thought. Sun Ce took a deep breath and took his hands back. A long sigh echoed in this room. "Zhang Zhao, let Zhongmou go in the battle of Linhuai! Allocation of 10,000 soldiers from the Jianye Navy, no, no." Sun Ce shook his head and said, "Allocation of 20,000 soldiers to Zhongmou, Lu Meng, and Ling Cao allocated them to me! Tell them that the army can be lost, but it must ensure Zhongmou's safety!"
"Master, you?!" Zhang Zhao was also stunned. Isn't this lord going to deal with his younger brother? Why did he become like this again? 20,000 soldiers? You must know that there are only 30,000 naval troops around Jianye.
"Go down! Tell those families that although I have allocated troops, I can't take the food and grass away in my hands!" Sun Ce waved his hand, he was really tired.
