Overlord!

Chapter 171
It is really not difficult for Sun Ce to poach Chen Qun, the main reason is as Chen Qun said.His old father, who is nearly seventy years old, is lonely and wandering in Xiapi, without food and clothing.

Even if Chen Qun is optimistic about Liu Bei, it is impossible to follow Liu Bei to wander in Dongyang, a county full of wars.He had to take his father to take refuge, and then become an official of one of the princes, relying on his salary to give his father a stable old age.

With or without Sun Ce's intervention, Chen Qun would have said goodbye to Liu Bei.

Therefore, if Sun Ce can bring Chen Ji, who is wandering in disorder, to Jiangdong, then there will be basically no suspense about Chen Qun's official career in Jiangdong.

Chen Ji wanted to take refuge, Jiangdong must be more stable than Xuzhou.

After all, the local scholars in Xuzhou have all gone south to Jiangdong to avoid the chaos in Xuzhou.

After Chen Ji settles down in Jiangdong, once Chen Qun leaves from Liu Bei, he will naturally be appointed as an official in Jiangdong.

Take Xiaolian, father separated.However, it is a big scandal of this era, Chen Qun's integrity cannot allow him to be so unfilial, his father is alone in Jiangdong, and he is not around to serve.

Waiting for him to bid farewell to Liu Bei and go to Jiangdong to become an official will not be a big problem for today's scholars.

You must know that Tian Yu, who had been entrusted to Liu Bei since childhood, said goodbye to Liu Bei on the grounds of his mother's old age.After returning to Youzhou, he also accepted Gongsun Zan's enlistment and served as the governor of Dongzhou.

These scholars also always need a salary to support their families and an official position to display their ambitions.

Except for Zhao Yun, I am afraid that few people can stay in their hometown for nearly ten years, neither official nor fame.

After meeting Xuzhou Wenwu, Sun Ce also introduced some Jiangdong talents to Liu Bei, including Jiang Qin and Chen Wu among the [-] Jiangbiao tiger officials who led the army this time, as well as the talents Sun Ce discovered Yang Xiao and Xiong Xing. , and Shiyi and others engaged in the general's mansion.

Even though Sun Ce only brought a thousand cavalry, there are a lot of fierce generals among them. Besides these people, there are also generals such as Cheng Zi, Huang Bing, and Rui Xuan, as well as Pan Lin, Jiao Ji, etc. Jiangdong Zongshuai heroes.

Some of Jiangdong's strong clan heroes were bloodbathed by Sun Ce, such as Zu Lang, Huang Longluo, Wang Sheng, Zou Ta, etc., but there were also some Shanyue tyrants and strong clan heroes who surrendered to Sun Ce. Heroes of foreign races were also selected by Sun Ce after they led their troops to surrender.

In addition, the fierce generals of Bingzhou who surrendered to Sun Ce in the Battle of Huaipu, except for Hou Xie's high status, Sun Ce left him as an official to deal with Lu Bu, and the rest of Song Xian, Cao Xing, and Pang Shu were also added to the cavalry formation by Sun Ce .

Among the thousands of iron cavalry in this district, there are as many true generals as there are clouds, not even weaker than the generals of Liu Bei's entire army.

In Dongyang, the generals Liu Bei could rely on were nothing more than Guan Zhang. Zhang Fei was injured and sent to Wu County. Liu Bei's subordinates, Xia Houbo, Tian Yu, Mi Fang, Chen Dao, Shi Ren and other generals, were only five fingers available. .

The strength of an army is obviously closely related to the number of generals in it.

Sun Ce's elite iron cavalry has so many strong generals with only a thousand people, and its combat power is naturally not comparable to Liu Bei's army.

After the two parties met, Sun Ce acted resolutely, stopped Liu Bei's intention of hosting a banquet, and directly led the lieutenant general into Liu Bei's account, and together with the general of the Xuzhou Army, they analyzed the battlefield situation on the map.

This straightforward and decisive, informal, attracted the favor of both civil and military personnel in Xuzhou.

Tian Yu, in particular, respected Sun Ce's arrogance of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

You must know that the alliance between the two parties is not without grievances.

Although Liu Bei's main enemies were Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, Yuan Shu cut off Huainan, and Lu Bu's sneak attack caused him to lose Xuzhou.However, there are still objections among Liu Bei's army, saying that Wu Hou robbed him of Liu Shijun's Xuzhou county.

Someone has been suggesting that Liu Bei ask Jiangdong to return Guangling.Or borrow Guangling from Wuhou, so that Liu Bei can have a base to conquer Huaibei and defend Jiangdong against Yuan and Lu.

But at the meeting today, Marquis Wu didn't worry too much at all, and directly led his soldiers into the Xuzhou barracks, which shows his magnanimity and courage.

Therefore, when introducing the situation, Tian Yu was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to introduce to General Jiangdong: "Commanded by Ji Ling, tens of thousands of troops came from Xuyi to the southeast, and they have been attacking our army camp before. Hearing the arrival of Marquis Wu, he was afraid of the sharpness of the iron cavalry. Zhengsheng has already led his troops back to Xuyi and set up camp along Hongze."

"According to our investigation, its army is located in the south of Hongze, and has set up six fortifications along the Ze, with Wu Jing, Qi Ji, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Liu Kai and others as the commanders, divided into front, rear, left, and right camps and water villages. Each other's horns."

Sun Ce looked at this eloquent and well-organized young general with great interest. Liu Bei did not introduce his name when he introduced Xuzhou Wenwu just now.

After all, he is too young, and he has not made any achievements yet. He joined the army as a trilogy of Liu Bei, not a general of Xuzhou.Somewhat similar to Wei Yan.

Sun Ce smiled and said to Liu Bei: "Liu Shijun moved to China, and there are so many heroes under his command? Such a young talent, but there are also such talents. It seems that the battlefield is distributed and the geographical situation is inscribed in his chest."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Guorang is indeed a genius in Youzhou. If he can retaliate in his chest, he will be able to shock the world and make great achievements."

"I recommended for Marquis Wu. This is Yuyang Yongnu. His surname is Tian, ​​his first name is Yu, and his style name is Guorang. He is courageous and courageous. At the age of 15, he followed me. He often has extraordinary words and ambitions. He will definitely become a general. .”

Sun Ce was also amazed by it, and said: "Chen Wu, a general of our army, crossed hundreds of miles across the county, went to the door to vote for me and assassinated me. Since then, he has followed the left and right, crowned the three armies bravely, and has nowhere to go. I don’t want Guorang to go to China at the age of 15.”

What kind of talent is this?Comparable to Lu Meng of Wu and Zheng He of Ming Dynasty.

It's no wonder that he was able to shock the northern border, and caused heavy casualties to the Hu people. The Wei army chased and fled for more than [-] miles, and the zombies covered the ground.

Wuhuan King Gu Jin was disrespectful to the government. Tian Yu went to investigate outside the Great Wall. He only led more than a hundred people to Gu Jin's tribe. The Wuhuan people dare not make any rash moves.

Its prestige is comparable to that of Ban Chao, who only led 30 people to shake Shanshan, Khotan and other countries in the Western Regions.

Tian Yu was so praised by Sun Ce, his chest was agitated and his spirits were uplifted.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Our department is short of a guide, so Guorang will join our army for the time being. I think we can contact you."

It is normal for the alliance of the two armies to need an official to communicate in the army. Before the Battle of Chibi, the Sun Liu coalition army also sent Lu Su and Zhuge Liang to contact the battle to coordinate the battle.

Theoretically, the generals are rough and their words don't express their ideas. Both sides should send a civil official. However, Tian Yu's reasoning is clear and he is eloquent. Sun Ce feels that he can also take on this important task.

As for the Jiangdong official who was sent to Liu Bei's army to liaise, Sun Ce looked at Shiyi and said, "It's my job to promote the alliance between us personally, and I'm familiar with Xuzhou generals, so I'm going to stay in Liu Shijun's camp and communicate on my behalf."

This is a trivial matter, and Liu Bei didn't think that Tian Yu's loyalty would lead him to join Jiangdong's command.

Therefore, although Marquis Wu acted domineeringly, he just remained expressionless and didn't say much.

At the beginning Lu Bu called him his younger brother, which was extremely rude, and he was just displeased.

Now that he is relying on Jiangdong to provide supplies, he will not destroy the friendship of the alliance because of such a trivial matter.

After all, Sun Ce is now leading the alliance of the Sun-Liu Allied Forces. He has such a high position and authority, so he has the self-confidence and calmness of such a domineering decision.

When Liu Bang took refuge in Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu asked Liu Bang's subordinate Cao Shen to stay and contact the military subordinates of the alliance.Why did Liu Bang refuse?
Now Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, Liu Bei is known as the style of the ancestors, and the Sun-Liu coalition army seems to have returned to the situation hundreds of years ago, when Qin lost its deer and the world fought together.

I don't know who should play the role of Tyranny this time. Is it the arrogant Yuan Shu, the cruel and tyrannical Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao with many soldiers?

But no matter who it is, Sun Ce has the confidence to rely on Jiangdong's brave and skilled troops to defeat the enemy on the battlefield.

Defeating Ji Ling's [-] troops is obviously the most important thing for the Sun Liu coalition army.

Sun Ce looked at the map, and said to everyone in the account: "Ji Lingcai's banditry is difficult, so there is nothing to fear. But the place where he is stationed is a battleground for military strategists, and it is related to the ambition of our two sides!"

There is no need to shy away from the ambition to dominate the industry.

Both Sun and Liu's counselors have said this matter openly.

Scholars in Jiangdong all said that Sun Ce could become a king if he could measure up with Huan and Wen.

Chen Deng also said to Liu Bei: "The mausoleum of the Han Dynasty is late, and the country is overthrown. It is today to make meritorious deeds. Today, if you want to make the king walk together and ride a hundred thousand, you can help the people and become the cause of the five tyrants. You can cede land and guard the territory, and write merits from bamboo and silk."

Even Huangfu Li said to Huangfu Song: "This dynasty is out of power, and the world is upside down. The only ones who can be safe and secure are adults and Dong Zhuo'er. Your Excellency is now a marshal. He sticks to the country's prestige. This is the matter of Huan and Wen."

Huanwen's hegemony is still a thing worthy of praise today. It has the meaning of helping the people and stabilizing the country.

And when Sun Ce told Liu Bei to join forces in the hegemony, what he said was that he wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Liu Bei in Huan, Wen, and make an alliance to rule the world.

This point is undoubtedly in line with the ambitions of Liu Bei's forces. At least for now, Liu Bei has never thought of becoming the emperor. His greatest ambition is to respect the emperor, wipe out disobedient ministers, and achieve hegemony just like Huan and Wen overlords.

And Sun Ce also directly divided the direction of the two hegemony on the map. Sun Ce said: "After defeating Ji Ling, our alliance army can go straight to Xuyi. At that time, no matter Lu Bu or Yuan Shu, they will be defenseless. Liu Shijun can go north along Surabaya Go straight to Xiapi, take advantage of Lu Bu's defeat, and recapture Xuzhou. The land of Huaibei, Xiapi, Pengcheng, Donghai, and Langya are all owned by the envoy."

"Our Jiangdong army marched westward along the Huaihe River, attacked Yuan Shu when he was defeated, and captured Xuyi, Huailing, Zhongli and other places in Huainan, and then marched straight into Jiujiang to compete with Yuan Shu in Huainan."

"Our alliance uses the Huai River to demarcate the border, what do you think?"

Everyone immediately looked carefully along the Huaihe River. It was obvious that someone in Jiangdong had rigorously studied this plan.

By turning the Huaihe River into a boundary, Jiangdong took advantage of it, not only occupying Guangling, but also cutting off the five counties of Huaiyin, Huailing, Xuyi, Dongcheng, and Gaoshan in Xiapi, leaving only Haixi in Huaibei, and Chenshitun in Xiapi Thousands of troops are on the ground.

Chen Yu's thousands of followers did not submit to Liu Bei when he was at his peak.Now that Liu Bei has regained Xuzhou, they are bound to remain separatist, just like Zang Ba, Sun Guan and others.

But Jiangdong took advantage of it and swallowed Huainan thousands of miles like a tiger.

However, after thinking for a while, Liu Bei got up and said solemnly, "Okay, as Marquis Wu said, we will draw the boundary between the Huai River and the Huai River!"

This shows that Liu Bei is far more heroic than his subordinates.

It seems that Jiang Dong really has no constraints in Huainan, but that's because of Jiang Dong's outstanding martial arts skills!Now Huailing, Xuyi, Dongcheng, Gaoshan and other counties are all in the hands of Yuan Shu, the strongest prince in the world!

Sun Liu used the Huai River to demarcate the border, and Jiangdong faced Yuan Shu, the strongest prince with an army of [-], and then wiped out any resisting forces in the south of Huainan, and wiped out all the forces that were self-defense.

And Liu Bei only needs to lead tens of thousands of pacers to attack the newly defeated Lu Bu.

Lü Bu had just captured Xuzhou, but he was exhausted, his supplies were exhausted, and his food and grass were insufficient.

If Liu Bei, with the support of Jiangdong's logistics, can't beat Xuzhou, then how can he ask Jiangdong for these four or five counties south of the Huaihe River?
Wouldn't it be that he has no external achievements and has been defeated repeatedly.Internally, he only dared to bully his allies and plunder?
With Liu Bei's generosity and heroism, he couldn't do such a nasty thing.

Afterwards, everyone looked at Xuyi, and at this moment, everyone felt that their eyes were completely new.

With the arrival of Marquis Wu, when everyone looks at Xuyi again, they will no longer live up to the previous pressure. On the contrary, everyone is full of energy, even ambitious!
Xuzhou's civil and military personnel in the tent sighed with emotion, what a hero Wu Hou is?Just because of the arrival of one person, everyone's mentality and aspirations have been completely changed.

You know, before facing Ji Ling's [-]-odd army, everyone had a heavy heart, thinking day and night how to resist Ji Ling, no one had imagined that overnight, the soldiers would push back hundreds of miles, chasing and killing Yuan Shu all the way. hinterland.

However, when Marquis Wu came, he regarded Ji Ling's [-] troops as nothing at all. The premise of demarcating the Huai River boundary was that Yuan Jun had been smashed in one fell swoop, and Ji Ling's troops were completely lost.

And following the perspective of Marquis Wu, Xuyi is indeed, as he said before, a battleground for military strategists. Once this place is captured, the hinterland of Xuzhou and Huainan will be exposed to the sun-liu allied army .

You must know that after the main force of Lu Bu's army in the north was destroyed in Huaipu, the remaining elite and the main force of the coalition forces were stationed in Ling County, Huaipu, and Haixi to resist the Jiangdong army from continuing the northern expedition.

The Juling to the west was empty, and Wei Xu, Lu Bu's in-law, was defending here to prevent Yuan Shu from attacking Xuzhou.

However, as Yuan Shu's army was transferred to the south of the Huaihe River to attack Dongyang, and Lu Bu's lineage was destroyed in World War I, Wei Xu's troops were also transferred away by Lu Bu, and returned to Megatron Xiapi to stabilize Xuzhou.

As long as Sun Liu's army can defeat Ji Ling, then Liu Bei's tens of thousands of cavalry will be able to go up along Surabaya, drive straight all the way, capture the empty defense of Xuzhou with lightning speed, and surround Lu Bu in Xiapi City!
