Overlord!

Chapter 107 Jiangdong Guo Jia
Sun Ce personally introduced Quan Rou, Quan Cong and his son into the camp, and after the guest and host were seated, he became particularly interested in Quan Cong.

So he said to Quan Rou with a smile: "Your son can command hundreds of songs before he loses the crown. With the attachment of scholars, after being crowned, his achievements must be limitless. In the future, he may not be able to command tens of thousands of troops."

This is actually a matter of course. Other young people have never even ridden a horse at Quan Cong's age, but Quan Cong has already formed hundreds of his own songs, learning the art of war, and accumulating experience in marching and setting up camps. Naturally, it is easier for him to improve Generals lead the army.

Quan Cong only thought it was Sun Lang's special appreciation for him, straightened his chest proudly, and said: "What are tens of thousands of people? I want to drive a hundred thousand people, look at the Central Plains with glaring eyes, and sweep the world for General Sun. "

Very well, Jiangdong's generals all have this kind of virtue, it seems that the one has madness.

This is true of Zhu Huan, and so is Quan Cong.

Jiangdong is talented and energetic.Only this style can support the great cause of the Northern Expedition.

It's just waiting for the monarch, I'm afraid they won't be able to suppress the madness of these generals.

But Sun Ce is obviously not in this list.

As far as Quan Cong's arrogant capital is concerned, it is not worth mentioning in the military camp of Commander Sun Ce.

His arrogant words hadn't finished yet, Quan Rou didn't even have time to reprimand, there was a sound of laughter from inside the big tent.

Hearing the laughter of the other young generals, Quan Cong blushed instantly, no matter how talented he was, he was just a young man who had not yet been crowned, and his anger surged up, causing the veins on his forehead to bulge.

"What are you laughing at! I have studied literature and martial arts since I was a child, and I often practice reciting scriptures and biography. I try to shoot day and night, and I am determined to make meritorious deeds. How can you know your ambitions?"

Lu Meng jumped out and said, "When you were still aspiring to make meritorious service, I was already on the battlefield to make meritorious service! When you were still trying to gallop day and night, I had already supervised more than [-] people to build water conservancy projects and organize farming in two counties. I You are still younger than you! You can drive hundreds of thousands of people and look at the Central Plains with glaring eyes, so can I form a battalion of a million people and go to the Western Regions for [-] miles?"

Zhu Huan reprimanded at this moment: "Okay, you two command a hundred thousand, one ranks a million, and one is more arrogant than the other. When will you be weaker than the crown? It's really like me commanding an elite army, so let's talk such big words. "

Lu Meng sat back indifferently, he was sure that if he was a little older, he would definitely be able to get one.

After all, he yelled the slogan "If you don't repair the water conservancy, wait for the heaven to descend to the land of abundance", which shocked the entire Wu County civil and military officials and felt their ambition.

So he was able to assist Liu You, the captain of Diannong, to personally supervise the farming and water conservancy matters in Yuhang and Qiantang.

These two counties have achieved remarkable achievements. Although the time is short, they have not only fed 2 troops, but also provided more than [-] shi of military food to Qiantang. embankment.Such deeds attracted the people of Kuaiji on the other side to flee to the north of the river one after another, in order to avoid the suffering of floods, set up a family and business in Qiantang, and reclaim wasteland.

As the main force of Wujun's army marched to Qiantang, he was called to the camp to report on military settlements and water conservancy matters.

As long as he can lead the army to build Qiantang and Yuhang lines to defend the sea for hundreds of miles, dig through the West Lake, set up gates to release floods, and make the water conservancy flourish, then he will be transferred from the army to the army based on this meritorious service. Can command one or even several elite soldiers.

But Quan Cong is obviously much inferior.He was walking in the camp just now and witnessed with his own eyes what is the world's sharpest brigade.

Especially the costumed dragon sparrow riding suddenly, that is simply a man's romance.

Now his heart is burning with desire, and he really hopes that he can command such a mighty, majestic, golden and iron horse elite.

Compared with these elite soldiers under Sun Lang's command, his trilogy and the county soldiers of Wu County are simply a bunch of mobs!
It is a wise move to raise troops to join such a hero.

But what came with it was tremendous pressure. Sun Lang's subordinates were full of talents, heroes and fierce generals, Jiangdong talents, like crucian carp crossing the river, innumerable.

Even Quan Cong had to admit that he was rather dignified in front of these arrogant soldiers.

Quan Rou rubbed her chin with her hand, nodded slightly, that's good, let her eldest son see what it means that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.In case he is in a county in Kuaiji, he will underestimate the people of the world if he is attached by a scholar.

Then Quan Rou said with a smile: "The generals in Sun Lang's camp are like clouds, and the counselors are like rain. What is lacking now are soldiers. The county is vast and rich, and if Sun Lang can take it, he will become a king." Dominate the foundation, lead one hundred thousand soldiers, and compete in the Central Plains."

This is true.

Kuaiji County should be regarded as the largest county in Dahan, and his county is almost as large as two provinces in later generations.

But such a large county, with 48 counties, had a registered population of only [-] at its peak.

After the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, the registered population may not even be 30.

That is to say, there are only 15 people and [-] families in an area as large as a province.It is equivalent to one or two large communities in later generations.What's more, this scale is not as good as in the feudal era, when a city has a large population!For example, in Wu County, the household registration in the county will exceed [-].

Therefore, it is very accurate to say that Kuaiji Wufu Minfeng is very accurate. The area of ​​a province, [-] households, even if there are miasma and jungle everywhere, it is casually enough for the common people to own a lot of fertile land.But in fact, Kuaiji County is not as wild as Jiaozhou. Both Wu and Yue have been operating here for hundreds of years, and the Dahan continued to develop here. It has been developed to a considerable degree of civilization.

Anyone occupying this place, as long as they operate stably, can have the strength not weaker than Chunqiu Yi to dominate the Yue Kingdom.Three thousand Yuejia can also swallow Wu, which should not be underestimated.

Sun Ce asked very solemnly: "I want to pacify Jiangdong, but now the only enemy is Wang Lang. What's the situation like?"

Quan Rou did not derogate his opponent, but with a dignified face, he said very seriously: "The prince of the palace has lived in the county for three years, he loves the people, he is deeply respected by the people, he is sympathetic to the people, and he values ​​scholars. There is no peace, a disorderly crowd who lives and dies in the morning and evening."

Hearing Quan Rou's words, all the soldiers in the army became serious.

Everyone knows that attacking this kind of force is the hardest battle to fight.If the enemy's army is united as one and its foundation is solid, it can only be forced out of one city, one city at a time.

This is completely different from the difficulty of the mob, which collapsed with one blow and then fell apart.

Zhang Hong, who was in charge of the military counselor, immediately asked: "Then how did Kuaiji County deploy to resist the conquest?"

What worries him most now is that Wang Lang will strengthen the wall and clear the country, and then lead the army to defend the fortified city in the south.

If all the counties in the north of Kuaiji County were burned to the ground, and Wang Lang moved all the people to the south of Kuaiji, then Sun Ce's army would cross the desert area of ​​nearly a thousand miles and attack Jiancheng.

The reason why it is difficult to fight nomads in the Central Plains is not because they cannot be defeated on the battlefield. The most fundamental reason is that their nomadic tribes can take all their property and flee thousands of miles away.However, the army of the Central Plains had to trek thousands of miles on the desolate grassland.Just think about the large distance of a province in later generations, there is no human population or supplies, and tens of thousands of troops rely on grain and grass supplies thousands of miles away. This transportation cost is enough to collapse any prince.

Ordinary princes are powerless to fight against such a distance.

And even if Sun Ce could organize an army to transport food thousands of miles away, it would be costly. If it was not a last resort, he would never want to fight this kind of war.

Quan Rou said solemnly: "Gong Cao Yu turned over to Sun Lang's tiger and wolf division. They cannot be resisted. They should retreat southward to avoid the sharp edge, and then strengthen the city and fortify in order to counterattack."

After the voice fell, everyone in the camp gasped.This is a man who knows how to fight, and there is no mediocre person who can serve as a hero!With him assisting Wang Lang, there will be serious troubles.Even if Wu Jun's soldiers are elite and brave, they can't resist this kind of manpower-impossible thing!

Sun Ce also took a deep breath.

Yu Fan!His Sun Ce's big baby!
But it was his big baby who brought him a big problem before he joined the shogunate.

If Wang Lang followed Yu Fan's deployment, even if his troops were far behind Wu Jun's elite soldiers, there would be a huge gap in combat power.Sun Ce's army could not gallop freely.This heavenly power is beyond the reach of manpower!

Zhang Hong also finds it very difficult. He is currently playing the roles of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping under Sun Ce. He is in the middle of strategizing. Despite his superb intelligence, he is almost powerless to do this kind of thing. He can only rely on hard power to push past.

He frowned and asked: "What kind of person is this Yu Fan, can he be trusted by Wang Lang?"

Talking about Yu Fan, Quan Rou was also quite moved, and praised: "This man is really a righteous man in the world. The king of the palace asked him to go to Yuzhang, contact Liu Yao, and plan to rebel. Yu Fan didn't arrive in Yuzhang, but I heard that General Sun’s soldiers went to Kuaiji, but they turned back in the starry night. It was the time of his father’s funeral, and he dared not go to the house because of his ministers and envoys. , go to the mansion to persuade, please withdraw your troops and go south, stick to the city, to avoid the sharp edge."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was amazed, even as an enemy, they also admired his loyalty very much.

With such a loyal and talented person as his confidant, who can't become a prince who established the world?
Everyone felt his words and deeds of loyalty, and asked themselves, if they were Wang Lang, they would use their words!
Therefore, the soldiers in the battalion were quite dignified, and they had already expected that the battle to attack Kuaiji would be very difficult.

But at this moment, Quan Rou was in high spirits, and talked generously to everyone, saying: "But Wang Lang refused to accept Yu Fan's words on the grounds that he was a Han official and should protect the city, so he raised his troops to the bank of the Qiantang River and swore Protect the territory!"

"I know that it is bound to lose, and it will not last long!"

In an instant, uncontrollable excited cheers came from the tent.

Sun Ce was also deeply disappointed!

Sure enough, whether any prince in a troubled time can succeed depends on whether he is willing to accept loyal advice.

Does Lu Bu have anyone under his command?
Of course not, his subordinates and generals are all top-notch in the world.

Generals such as Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, with only a few thousand elite soldiers, captured Xiaopei City, which was guarded by tens of thousands of troops commanded by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and captured Liu Bei's wife and daughter. Supporting Xiahou Dun.

Wenchen has a first-class celebrity like Chen Gong, who once helped him win Yanzhou and once helped him win Xuzhou!

Sun Ce was amazed at this terrifying strength, and his advisers had never directly helped him win a big state in one fell swoop.

But Lu Bu couldn't listen to the good words of these civil servants and generals.In the end, he was at the end of the road, and was bound to the head of Xiapi city. It was impossible to ask to kneel down, and the curtain ended directly.

There is no shortage of sages in the world, and there is no shortage of clever schemes. Whoever can use and believe in them can become a king and overlord.

On the contrary, if you can't accept advice with an open mind, you will often turn your words into prophecies, and the curtain will end with regret.

In this regard, Sun Ce also learned a lesson.

Yu Fan has also advised the little bully in history not to go out hunting every day, and to be a bit majestic.Of course, he said it more wisely, saying: "The Ming government used the Wuji crowd to disperse the attached people, and they all gained their death power, even though Han Gaodi was not as good as him. If a husband is not serious, he is not powerful, so the white dragon fish is trapped in Yuqie, the white snake is free, and Liu Ji harms it, so please pay less attention."

This is a quotation from the scriptures, I hope Sun Ce pays attention to it.

This was the only point Sun Ce didn't listen to him, telling him, you are right.But I'm so young, I really can't sit still (sit upright), so I go out to relax and think about what strategies I can benefit from the start-up.

But it was the only thing that failed to heed the advice, which led to the regrettable ending of Xiaobawang.

A hunt, an assassination, and finally a prophecy, it's a pity.

Of course, this also proves that Yu Fan, like Guo Jia, has seen the strengths and weaknesses of Sun Ce clearly.

Coincidentally, Guo Jia and Yu Fan are not only similar in talent, but also have almost the same personality and treatment.

Guo Jia is Cao Cao's big treasure. With so many civil servants, Cao Cao prefers Guo Jia.

Yu Fan is also Sun Ce's great treasure. Of course, Sun Ce believes in Yu Fan even more, and personally told him that Qing regards the meritorious Cao as my Xiao He and guarding Kuaiji for me.But the result is the same, both of them are government officials.

In terms of character, after Yu Fan was exiled to Jiaozhou, he regretted that he neglected etiquette, was careless and uninhibited, was not good at observing words and expressions, and was not good at pleasing others. He finally offended the emperor and was convicted. He should live in a remote place for a long time without anyone You can talk, and after death, only flies are the guests of condolence.This also coined an idiom, bluebottle hanger.

Before he died, he sighed with emotion: He who makes everyone in the world a confidant is enough not to hate him!

Obviously, he also deeply resented that the monarch at this time was not the young hero who used to be high-spirited and fond of joking when he personally went to his home to befriend him and said to him, "I will share with you about today's affairs."

Thinking of this, Sun Ce said with a smile: "There is a talent like Yu Fan who can't be used, Wang Langhe should be defeated! Where is he stationed now?"

In fact, Sun Ce still had a good impression of Wang Lang, who didn't use any tricks.

You can say that he is pedantic as a civil servant, but it is this kind of honesty and integrity that is the shining light of scholars.

Don't appreciate this kind of courtiers who are loyal to the territory, do you appreciate those scholar-bureaucrats who abandoned the city and fled in the Song Dynasty?
It's no wonder that in history, Xiaobawang didn't kill Wang Lang after defeating him.

If Sun Ce captured Wang Lang, he would treat him as a guest of honor.
