After Cao Cao learned that Sun Quan was about to proclaim himself emperor, he sent Jiang Ji as an envoy to Jiangdong. In the past, Cao Cao often tried to win over Sun Quan, and Sun Quan's behavior was relatively well-behaved. Now that Sun Quan is proclaimed emperor, Cao Cao must feel a little uncomfortable.

Yes, before, Sun Quan and him were all vassals of the Han Dynasty, but Sun Quan has gradually reached the position of King of Wu, and now he is about to become the emperor. In comparison, Cao Cao's status is a bit weak.

But Cao Cao was not discouraged by this. After the princes proclaimed themselves emperors one after another, he wanted to support the Han Dynasty to achieve great achievements and let those who proclaimed themselves kings and emperors bear the price of failure. In fact, Cao Cao also wanted to go one step further.

Only with a higher status can one be more dominant under the rule. Cao Cao knew this. However, if he wanted to go further, it was not an easy task. There were too many objections in the court, and Cao Cao had to

scruples.

Cao Cao looked down upon the officials in the court. These people spent all day discussing world affairs in the court, but they could not have enough influence on world affairs. Behind their backs, they could denounce Sun Quan and Sun Quan impassionedly.

Lu Bu would probably be more honest than anyone else if he sent them as envoys to Jiangdong or Chang'an.

Most of the officials in the court were from aristocratic families. At this time, the aristocratic families under Cao Cao's rule were not weak. Cao Cao secretly ordered the aristocratic families to win over the aristocratic families under Lu Bu's rule, but the effect was not very good, especially after Lu Bu reorganized the aristocratic families in Jizhou.

Be more careful when you act.

After the establishment of the Jin State, the inspectors were very active. They were most interested in families that violated disciplines in various places. As long as they found that a family had touched the bottom line of the Jin State, the price the family would face would be extremely cruel.

The family under Lu Bu's rule is struggling to survive under such circumstances. It's not that they are unwilling to leave Lu Bu's territory, but that leaving the territory means that their current family's strength will be compromised again.

So what if they come to the territory ruled by Cao Cao or Sun Quan? There are also many aristocratic families in the territories governed by Cao Cao and Sun Quan. After they arrive, they can only become the favorites in the eyes of other aristocratic families.

Besides, although Lu Bu's treatment of the aristocratic family was cruel, at the beginning of the war, the aristocratic family had full confidence in Lu Bu. From past battles, it can be seen that there is no enemy that Lu Bu cannot defeat, and everyone who fights against Lu Bu has already

Disappeared. In this regard, the family has great trust in Lu Bu.

If they turn their backs on Lu Bu now, once Lu Bu wins against Cao Cao, their position will be even more embarrassing. The family still understands the reason for this. Under Lu Bu's rule, as long as they are careful, they can still survive.

This is why the family is unwilling to leave easily.

If Cao Cao could gain an absolute advantage on the battlefield against Lu Bu, that would be another matter.

Sun Quan was a crucial link in the war between Lu Bu and Cao Cao. The reason why Cao Cao pacified Jingzhou was not only to improve his own strength, but also to conquer the existence of Dong and Jiangdong. For Cao Cao, actually

It is a disaster, especially the Jiangdong Army that originally occupied Jingnan County, is a great threat.

Sun Quan's ambition can be seen through the actions of Jiangdong Army. He is no weaker than Sun Ce. Becoming the emperor is a good illustration. Once Sun Quan becomes emperor, his prestige in Jiangdong will be improved to a greater extent and he will be established.

The country is very different from before, and the status of civil servants and military officers can be improved to a greater extent.

Both Lu Bu and Cao Cao wanted to win over Jiangdong, which led Sun Quan to want to get enough benefits from this battle. If possible, it would be most wonderful to get benefits from Cao Cao and Lu Bu respectively.

However, it is obviously extremely difficult to get benefits from Lu Bu. Lu Bu's territory is too far away from Jiangdong. Moreover, Lu Bu's personal strength is strong. Winning over Jiangdong will only make the process of fighting Cao Cao smoother.

If Jiangdong is unwilling to join, it is actually not a big surprise to Lu Bu. Lu Bu is currently preparing for war under his rule, and Jiangdong's army is also the target of prevention. Otherwise, why would Jizhou form a navy army?

In fact, Sun Quan was extremely curious about the combat effectiveness of the Jizhou Navy. He wanted to know the specific situation of the Jizhou Navy. Gan Ning and Zhang Yun were so famous that they could not tolerate Sun Quan not being more cautious. Back then, Sun Quan

But he really hoped to gain Gan Ning's loyalty. Sun Quan admired Gan Ning's ability to lead troops on the river, but he failed to win over him several times. Only now did he understand that Gan Ning was probably Lu Bu's deliberate arrangement.

Chess pieces on the river.

In this matter, they had to admire Lu Bu for letting Gan Ning train his navy on the river. They only provided a batch of warships for Gan Ning and others. The remaining issues such as food, grass, weapons, etc. were left to Gan Ning.

Ning takes responsibility for himself. This method of training the army is definitely very attractive to the princes.

After Gan Ning left the river, the power of the Jinfan thieves did not disappear, but continued to be active on the river. Although Gan Ning claimed to have broken with these people, the real situation is definitely not like this. Through this incident, it is also

Let Sun Quan scold Lu Bu for being shameless.

There are not a few merchants in Jiangdong, and there are even more people passing by the river every day. The presence of these bandits can bring considerable losses to merchants, but merchants have no way to resist when faced with such a situation.

If they don't have enough strength in their hands, and the resistance will bring more crazy revenge from these thieves, under such circumstances, the businessmen are more willing to hand over some property to leave. The reputation of Jinfan thieves is at stake in the river.

It's still pretty good.

As long as merchants don't take the initiative to provoke these Jinfan thieves, they don't have to worry about their lives.

After Gan Ning left, Sun Quan sent naval troops to exterminate the Jinfan bandits more than once, but the effect was not very good. Although Gan Ning left, the Jinfan bandits' combat style remained unchanged. As long as he saw Jiangdong Army,

, retreat immediately.

Today, the strength of the Jiangdong Navy is different from that of the past. On the ships of the Navy, there are crossbows and small thunderbolt vehicles. This situation makes the Jiangdong Navy's combat effectiveness on the river even more powerful.

Compared with Guo Jia, Jiang Ji came to Jianye City first. After entering Jiangdong, Jiang Ji could feel the prosperity of Jiangdong, which is incomparable to the current Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Compared with Jiangdong, the Central Plains has experienced too much.

of war.
