The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 353 Sun Zhongmou

Chapter 360 Sun Zhongmou
"Ziming, just received an urgent report from the dark guards. Cao Cao's general Cao Hong led 20 troops to attack Jiangxia, and Cai Mao led [-] troops to attack Yiling. Yanzhou." Liu Bei recruited Chen Ziming, and hurriedly told him Cao Cao's movements, and then asked Chen Ziming in despair, "Can Jiangdong really stabilize the situation within a month?"

"Yes." Chen Ziming said firmly: "Brother, don't underestimate the wisdom of Jiangdong's officials."

Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "As far as I know, Sun Ce's son is only a child now, so why suppress all the ministers?"

"Hehe, big brother, don't forget, Sun Wentai has more than one son..." Chen Ziming thought of Emperor Dongwu, Sun Zhongmou and Sun Quan who were on par with Cao Cao and Liu Bei in history!

"Brother, send [-] soldiers and horses to Mount Tai for use." Chen Ziming was also very helpless. Sun Quan ruled Jiangdong, and he was definitely infinitely stronger than Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is indeed brave, but he is only suitable for leading the charge, not being the boss, while Sun Quan is just the opposite. He is definitely a statesman and has a good command of others.

I don't know if Sun Quan will continue Sun Ce's plan for the southern expedition. If Sun Quan denies Sun Ce's plan for the southern expedition and turns around and continues to join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Liu Bei, it will give Chen Ziming a headache.

"Alas..." Liu Bei certainly understood the reason why Chen Ziming did this. The purpose of stationing troops on Mount Tai was to prevent Jiangdong soldiers from suddenly going north: "Sun Ce has already made preparations for the southern expedition. He not only built a huge port on the seaside of Kuaiji, but A navy of 10 men is still accumulating [-] soldiers and countless grain and grass in Jiaozhou, and within three months, the Jiangdong army will surely go south, unfortunately..."

"Yeah..." Chen Ziming could only smile wryly, but he also realized the power of those clans once again. Although Chen Ziming had no evidence, he was sure that Jiangdong's high-level officials must have participated in the assassination of Sun Ce. After all, Sun Ce violated their interests and deeply threatened those clans themselves.

"Order Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, and Pan Zhang to temporarily stop attacking Yanzhou, and then order Xu Huang's troops to enter Mount Tai to garrison and wait for orders." Liu Bei's order quickly spread to all soldiers and horses, and now Cao Cao has Prepare, there is no need to waste food and grass.

"Gong Jin, is there really no need to send troops to Huainan?" Jian Ye, dressed in brocade attire and full of heroic spirit, frowned and asked Zhou Yu who was going to attack him.

"My lord." Zhou Yu got up and bowed slightly, then said: "According to reports from the spies, Liu Bei showed no sign of sending a large army to the south, and he didn't even increase his troops to Xuzhou. He would not take the opportunity to attack Jiangdong, but sent troops to besiege Yanzhou to contain him." Cao Cao's army."

"Since that's the case." Sun Quan nodded slightly, and then said: "If Cao Jun comes to attack Cao Jun, I will trouble Gongjin."

Later, Sun Quan, who had just taken over the power, ordered Zhou Yu to be the governor of Jiangdong, commanding the three armies to resist the Cao army who invaded Jiangdong, and ordered Lu Su to go to Linzi, Qingzhou as an envoy, to appease Liu Bei's heart.

Zhou Yu went out and led [-] soldiers and horses up the river. When Cao Hong who invaded Jiangxia was unprepared, he suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Cao Hong was defeated.

Afterwards, Cai Mao's troops who had already crossed the Yangtze River were blocked by Jiangdong's [-] sailors in Jiangdong. If Cai Mao hadn't seen that the situation was not right, he would use [-] soldiers as his ears to confuse Jiangdong's troops, and then led people to quietly bypass the Jiangdong navy's blockade , cross the river back to Jingzhou, otherwise the [-] sailors will all be left in Jiangdong.

"What!" When he heard that Cao Hong and Cai Mao were defeated, not only did they not occupy the city in Jiangdong, but they lost their soldiers and generals.

"Can Jiangdong soldiers take this opportunity to attack Jingzhou?" Xi Zhicai hastily asked the Jingzhou messenger who came to report.

"I would like to report to the military division that Jiangdong soldiers did not attack Jingzhou, but after repelling General Cao's troops, don't stand still." The messenger replied hastily.

"Huh..." After hearing the messenger's answer, Cao Cao also breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered: "Order Cao Hong to gather troops and horses to guard Jingzhou, and Nanyang Ji Ling immediately leads [-] troops to Jingzhou for reinforcements, and must not continue to attack Jiangdong."

Cao Cao's back felt cold. Fortunately, Jiangdong had no intention of attacking Jingzhou, otherwise Cao Cao would be in danger. He is already struggling to face Liu Bei alone. If Jiangdong attacks again, he will not be able to defend Jingzhou at all. If Jingzhou is lost, Cao Cao's strength will be reduced. will decrease sharply.

"Sure enough, as the prime minister expected, Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Quan, became the new lord of Jiangdong. He not only received the support of the Jiangdong clan, but also received the service of Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zhou Tai and other generals in the army. Master Jiangdong." Chen Gong told the news he had just received, and the political hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Chen Ziming in disbelief.

At the beginning, almost everyone thought that it was impossible for Jiang Dong to settle down in just one month as Chen Ziming said, but now the news from Jiang Dong refreshed Chen Ziming's perverted foresight once again.

Xu Shu stood up with a smile and said, "Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to be the governor of Jiangdong, and led a large army to defend against Cao Cao's troops. According to the news from the hidden guards, both Cao Hong and Cai Mao returned in defeat, and have completely withdrawn from Jiangdong. "

"Jiangdong envoy Lu Suyi is coming to Linzi, and he will arrive in ten days." Chen Gong once again made everyone stunned, because Chen Ziming said a month ago that as long as the big man doesn't send troops to Xuzhou, then Jiangdong will definitely send troops after it stabilizes. The envoy came to Linzi to ask to see Liu Bei.

"Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity from heaven." The judge came out and said excitedly, "If we can unite with Jiangdong and attack Cao Cao together, we can take advantage of the situation to destroy Cao Cao."

"Huh?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Chen Ziming excitedly. This was indeed a god-sent opportunity, after all, Cao Cao had just sent troops to attack Jiangdong.

"Impossible." Chen Ziming shook his head lightly, and regretfully said, "With Sun Zhongmou's wisdom and Zhou Gongjin's talent, he would do such a self-defeating thing."

Chen Ziming wanted to unite with Jiangdong and kill Cao Cao together, but are Sun Quan and Zhou Yu idiots? Without Cao Cao's restraint, just Jiangdong can stop Liu Bei's million lions.

"What I have to do now is to let Sun Quan continue to implement Sun Ce's strategy of going south, and not let Jiangdong and Cao Cao unite to resist the big Han." What Chen Ziming is most worried about is that Sun Quan will give up the plan to go south and continue to join forces with Cao Cao to resist Liu Bei. When will the world be unified.

Ju Shou stood up and said, "Now the Jiangdong army is in the hands of Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu can be persuaded to continue southward, it will be useless for Sun Quan to oppose it."

Chen Ziming shook his head and said, "You look down on Sun Quan too much. If Sun Quan disagrees with the Southern Expedition, then Zhou Yu and others will have nothing to do. Sun Quan's methods are far from what Sun Ce can do."

"Indeed." Guo Jia frowned slightly: "Sun Quan was able to integrate Jiangdong within a month, which shows that his ability is extraordinary."
