Chapter 1655 There are still capable people in Soochow
"In the following opinion, Jiang Gan is likely to be under house arrest! I dare not agree with the style of the Shenwu court." Zhou Yu sighed, as if he had seen Jiang Gan's miserable days.
Zhou Yu is really foresighted and has seen Jiang Gan’s recent pain.
To be honest, Jiang Gan wants to scold Zhou Yu to death now. During these days, Jiang Gan was under house arrest and ate food that was difficult to swallow every day and could not have freedom. Liu Jun was a bit humane to Jiang Gan and Lu Meng, and he had food and drink, so he would be sure that he could not starve to death.
Zhou Yu didn't feel that he was sorry for Jiang Gan. Even if he had, Jiang Gan was voluntarily.
Sun Ce felt that he had to make some moves, at least put some pressure on Liu Jun, and he could not let the court do whatever he wanted.
"What a Shenwu court. Liu Yu forced me to attack Jianye!" Sun Ce's face was very unhappy.
As soon as Sun Ce finished speaking, a voice sounded outside the door, and Zhou Tai came to report again.
Sun Ce was puzzled at this time, why did Zhou Tai, who was patrolling the camp, come to report again? Could something happened again?
"Let Youping come in quickly!" Sun Ce said immediately.
Zhou Tai came to everyone and bowed to Sun Ce and said, "Lord, something is wrong! Lord Zhang Zibu urgently reported that the barbarians in the mountains rushed out of the deep forest and invaded Wu County. He had captured several small cities! He plundered countless times!"
Sun Ce widened his eyes, stood up, shouting, "What's the situation? I don't want to cause trouble for the barbarians, but the barbarians dare to come out and cause trouble at this time?! Can't Zhang Zibu handle it?"
The situation in Dongwu is now troublesome enough, and Sun Ce did not expect that the barbarians would come out to make trouble at this time.
"Lord, Lord Zhang has mobilized some of his troops to fight the enemy. However, there are too many barbarians, with thousands of people. Lord Zhang is worried that the situation will become chaotic, so he asked the lord for military orders!" Zhou Tai raised Zhang Zhao's request.
Sun Ce said loudly: "Accurate! I give Zibu enough rights! I will never tolerate the barbarians being rampant in Wujun!"
After Sun Ce conquered Eastern Wu, the barbarians were a factor of instability within the Eastern Wu. No matter who commanded Eastern Wu, as long as the Han people were, the barbarians would be dissatisfied. In order to suppress the barbarians in the territory, Sun Ce did not know how many times he used his troops. He wasted a lot of Sun Ce's strength. Sun Ce himself killed many barbarians, and the barbarians called Sun Ce "butcher".
Sun Ce felt that he was already afraid of beating the barbarians, and never thought that the barbarians would take the initiative to kill them! Sun Ce felt that he was offended! Especially when Sun Ceteng didn't take action.
Zhou Tai knew Sun Ce's temper, so he turned around and wanted to send orders to Zhang Zhao.
"Master, wait!" Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped Sun Ce.
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in confusion and said, "Gongjin, do you have any suggestions?"
"Lord, I think the barbarians invade Wu County is definitely not that simple behind it!" Zhou Yu bowed and said.
"It's not simple?" Sun Ce did not expect the clues.
Lu Su reacted quickly and said hurriedly: "Lord, the barbarian must have been driven out by Liu Jun! Liu Jun is in the country!"
"What! In a short time, Liu Jun actually killed Jiangshan?" Sun Ce really couldn't believe his ears. It was only a matter of time before the news of Liu Jun's traces came to Lu Xun!
Zhuge Jin was a little disbelief. He didn't know much about military affairs, but he felt it was impossible for Liu Jun to be in the country.
"Lord, this is absolutely possible! It would be impossible for our soldiers, but Liu Jun would definitely do it!" Zhou Yu said helplessly.
Indeed, Sun Ce's impression was all about his own army, and he had preconceived ideas. The speed of the Eastern Wu was really impossible, but Liu Jun could do it.
Liu Jun was stronger than the Eastern Wu Army in terms of endurance, physical strength, and combat effectiveness, and was much stronger.
"Come on, take the map!" Sun Ce realized the seriousness of the matter.
Several personal soldiers outside the tent came in quickly and carried a big map to Sun Ce and the others!
Sun Ce kept staring at the map, pointing to the ambush place where Jiangshan and Lu Xun were lying, and said, "The distance between the two places is so far, why can Liu Jun arrive quickly? This terrain is dangerous and the road is difficult to move. How did Liu Jun do it!?"
Sun Ce still doesn't believe in Liu Jun's marching speed.
"Lord, the barbarians have been entrenched in the country and have been relatively stable over the years. Moreover, they are distributed around the country and do their own affairs. In the past, even if they sent troops, they were small troops. For example, thousands of soldiers and horses came here this time, the country must have undergone a huge change. I thought that the Liu army wanted to occupy the country and constantly attack the barbarians, which made the barbarians unable to stay in the country, so they sent troops to Wujun!" Zhou Yu explained his decision.
Sun Ce remained silent. He believed that Liu Jun was in the country now.
The location of the country is very special, at the junction of several counties of the Eastern Wu. Liu's army occupied this place. The Eastern Wu had to arrange troops in the four counties to avoid attacks. Where can there be so many troops in the Eastern Wu to defend now?
Zhuge Jin took the opportunity to say, "Lord, could it be Bo Yan leading the way? Only Liu Jun occupied the country?"
Yes, Zhuge Jin suspected that it was Lu Xun who led the way. Lu Xun was captured alive. Assuming that he had surrendered to the Shenwu court, it would be normal for him to lead Liu Jun to Jiangshan, and it would be normal for Liu Jun to kill him quickly.
Lu Su and Zhou Yu, who just believed that Lu Xun would not betrayal, were silent. They also felt that Zhuge Jin's words had a high probability of being true.
However, Sun Ce retorted: "No! It's not Bo Yan! If Bo Yan betrayed me, he would definitely lead Liu Jun to Wu County. With the influence of the Lu family in Wu County and the strength of Liu Jun, Wu County would not be in the current situation!"
The more nervous the moment, the clearer the Sun Ce's mind was, and he would never believe that Lu Xun would betray him.
If Lu Xun knew that Sun Ce chose to believe him at a critical moment, would he commit suicide in shame? Jiangshan was really what Lu Xun proposed to go.
In fact, Lu Xun was worthy of Sun Ce. He did not use the strength of the Lu family to help Liu Jun, nor did he lead troops to fight against the Eastern Wu, and was unwilling to go against Sun Ce, so he did what his subordinates should do.
Zhuge Jin was refuted by Sun Ce and immediately retreated, not daring to say more.
Lu Su looked at the map a few times and simulated Liu Jun's possible offensive route in his mind. Later, Lu Su's face became unfair.
"What a scheming! Lord, the barbarian invasion of Wu County was Liu Jun's plan to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger!" Lu Su said.
"Turn the wolf and swallow the tiger?" Sun Ce's eyes widened.
"Lord, Liu Jun sneaked in. He had not been discovered by our army for so long. He must have been hiding in the day and going out at night. He went deeper alone and could not carry enough food and grass. Once the food was exhausted, the Liu Jun would be finished! If Liu Jun wanted to obtain supplies, he could only use war to support the war! If he attacked our city, he would get food and grass, but he would fall into the blocking and siege of our army. Judging from the position of Liu Jun's chief general, he would not choose this. And the barbarians of the country became the target of Liu Jun!"
There is no need to say much about Lu Su. What Sun Ce could think of.
Compared with the attack on the city of Eastern Wu, Liu Jun faced much less danger when he attacked the barbarians to obtain supplies. The barbarians were relatively scattered and had poor strength. They stored a lot of food in the parody, and picked persimmons and pinched them!
Moreover, when attacking the barbarians, they would not be discovered by the Eastern Wu, and they would ensure their whereabouts.
The most insidious one is the barbarians who have lost their homes and food. They always need food and drink, otherwise they will starve to death. Under the pressure of survival, the barbarians will take risks and kill the territory of the Han people and seize food.
Liu's army not only received food and grass supplements, but also drove the barbarians to cause trouble for the Eastern Wu, but also restrained the Eastern Wu's troops, which was one kill of multiple goals!
Zhou Yu's face was not good-looking, and it was obvious that he also knew the factors.
"So cunning!" Sun Ce cursed angrily.
"Lord, if you are so smart, your lord is definitely not an ordinary person! I suggest that the lord divide a group of troops and a general command to kill them to the Jiangshan. At the same time, Kuaiji County was transferred, and two troops from Linhai County attacked Jiangshan and besieged Liu's army in Jiangshan!" Zhuge Jin put forward his own suggestions.
Sun Ce recognized Zhuge Jin's suggestion in his heart, thinking about who would be better to send. The other party was ambushed by Lu Xun, and it is conceivable that he was top-notch. Sun Ce felt that there were top military advisors in this Liu army who were making suggestions and should not be careless.
"Lord, I'm willing to go!" Lu Su stood up.
Sun Ce looked at Lu Su and felt that Lu Su was both civil and military, and was the best candidate. However, Sun Ce had already lost Lu Xun. If Lu Su had something to do, he would really cry.
Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's good friend. He could think of any thoughts of Sun Ce, so he said, "Lord, Zijing is the best candidate. I thought that Zijing was the main person and Zhou Youping was the deputy, leading 10,000 troops to the Yangtze River. In this battle, Zijing coordinated the troops of Lin'an, Linhai and Kuaiji counties, and he would definitely wipe out the Liu army who was trying to occupy the country!"
Lu Su was excited. Zhou Yu looked down upon him very much! He immediately suggested that Sun Ce give the military power to the three counties! This was the treatment of a magistrate of the border.
This situation is often prone to occur at the most dangerous moments.
Zhou Yu was very worried that Sun Ce would refuse. Sun Ce attaches great importance to the power in his hands. Since Sun Jian, there have been no subordinates with excessive power except Zhou Yu. This is to prevent the following from competing.
But at present, Lu Su has to give more power to deal with Liu Jun who slipped in, so as not to change the situation too much. If Zhou Yu was asked to go, Zhou Yu would not have the military power of these three counties. Although he was a good friend, Zhou Yu still had to avoid Sun Ce's concerns.
Sun Ce just hesitated for a few seconds, then wrote a letter of appointment and handed it to Lu Su, saying, "Zijing, I have handed over all these three counties to you!"
