Chapter 446 Short-sighted
On the city wall of Lujiang County.

Jia Nian and Gu Yong looked ahead, lost in thought.

"Shi Bo led his troops back and did not see him and Deng Dang. It seems that Sun Ce has already fled in all likelihood."

"Why is brother so afraid of Sun Ce?"

"Isn't Sun's enough to make people fear?"

"I don't think so"

"Why?"

"The Sun family had already declined, but it was revived again because of the sudden rise of Sun Changsha. Don't look at the five thousand soldiers stationed in the Marquis of Hefei who call themselves the elite soldiers of the Sun family. In fact, since Sun Changsha's death in battle, his subordinates have been scattered. Three hundred private soldiers were left behind. Yuan Zhoumu used these three hundred soldiers and horses as the backbone to recruit the soldiers of the Sun family. The name is the Sun family, but in fact they all belong to Shouchun. Therefore, even if Sun Ce is beheaded, he cannot be stationed in Hefei The soldiers and horses of the Hou State were disintegrated. Not only is the private army all loyal to the Sun family, but there is more than one Sun Ce among the Sun families? Once Sun Ce dies here, the Sun family will definitely arouse a counterattack. At that time, the gain outweighs the loss."

Gu Yong's eyes were full of puzzlement, and he asked Jia Nian.

Judging from Sun's current situation, there is absolutely no reason to kill, and there is no need to find such a reason.After all, the current Sun family is just a bereaved dog, lingering under Yuan Shu's command.Even though it seems that they have soldiers and horses, the real power of those soldiers is Yuan Shu, not Sun.At least one or two of them can be understood from Sun Ce's position.

Jia Nian tapped the city wall lightly with his hand, and said to Gu Yong.

"Compared with beheading Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, my brother would rather face the wrath of the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Hefei and the wrath of Yuan Shu whose morale has soared"

"This?"

Gu Yong hesitated, and swallowed the words on his lips.

In all fairness, my cousin is not a person who disregards the overall situation, but he is a bit too much when it comes to targeting Sun Ce.Once the killing of Sun Ce is publicized, the impact will be unimaginable.After all, Sun Ce came here as the envoy of Shouchun Yuanzhou Mu.

When the two countries were at war, even if they respected the matter of not beheading the envoy, and the envoy of Shouchun died in Lujiang, what should the people of the world think of it at that time?What's more, prefect Lu's root is in the Lu family of Wu County.If Yuan Shu turned his anger on the Lu family of Wu County, what would happen at that time?

"Since you are destined to be your life-and-death enemy, why should you hold back?"

"Being public or private, there can only be one person left in this world, Sun Ce and I, cousin, do you understand?"

Jia Nian asked Gu Yong, with a regretful tone, if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu died in ambushes, he would have saved himself a lot of trouble.It's a pity that Lu Kang intervened to save them from danger.As for the consequences of this matter, I scoffed in my heart.

Wouldn't he not have to face these troubles if he didn't kill Sun Ce?Could it be that without killing Sun Ce, Yuan Shu would be able to extinguish his desire not to annex the six counties of Yangzhou?Times have changed, and the world of great contention has arrived.It's ridiculous that Lu Kang couldn't understand it, and still acted according to the previous rules, and he was destined to suffer a big loss.

Yuan Shu has already led the state shepherd by himself these days, what else can't be done?
"Maybe things haven't gone as far as my brother imagined"

"is it?"

Jia Nian replied to Gu Yong, and happened to see Deng Dang galloping fast on a horse from outside the city, so he took the opportunity to choose to remain silent. This topic has lost its meaning. Although the troubled times have come, Yangzhou far away from the center of the storm But not too much pain.And even those so-called insightful people are just heartbroken over these things.

After all, those heroes wantonly annexed states and counties under the banner of suppressing the rebellion.

Just like Yuan Shu, didn't he also use the banner of crusade against Shanyue?By the way, the six counties of Yangzhou were annexed.

Footsteps came from behind, and Deng Dang bowed to Jia Nian.

"The last general can't let Sun Ce and others escape, and ask the lord to come down."

"This is Lujiang County. We are guests after all. Since the main force is letting the tiger go back to the mountain, what crime do you have?"

"Do you need to send a letter to Chaohu to have someone intercept and kill Sun Ce?"

"No, compared with a Sun Ce, the uncle's intention is obviously more important. The war is about to break out, and the two sides should make peace first."

"promise"

Deng Dang replied to Jia Nian, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

If Lu Kang could have come a little later, Sun Ce and the fake Chaohu chief Zhou Yu would have already died in Huangquan by this time, so why would there be so many troubles.

"Prefect Lu seemed rather displeased with this matter, and threatened to ask me, Yuzhang, to give him an explanation."

"Explain?"

Jia Nian gradually fell into deep thought, looking around ahead.

Gu Yong heard the conversation between the two, saluted Jia Nian, and then walked slowly to the side.

Although he is Jia Taishou's cousin, he is not from Yuzhang County after all, so hearing these things is obviously not in compliance with the rules.

"Seven thousand soldiers and horses is not an explanation?"

"With [-] troops stationed at Chaohu Lake, the pressure on the Lujiang River can be reduced by half. The remaining Shibo can lead [-] troops to garrison the county and the Marquis of Lu'an."

"Is there anything else he needs to explain?"

Jia Nian asked Deng Dang back, then turned to look at the dozens of soldiers standing in front, his eyes were full of majesty.

In all fairness, in Lu Kang's position, it is normal to have such a reaction based on what he can see.Before the imperial court existed in name only, it was also a wise choice.But now the situation has changed. If you don't change the way you handle things, you will eventually be swallowed by the torrent.

The location of Lujiang County is superior. If Shouchun is an important city against the northern Central Plains, it holds the offensive and defensive momentum in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains.Then Lujiang River is the throat of the south of the Yangtze River. As long as it is mastered, it will be able to continuously absorb refugees, and it will be able to roll southward under the general trend and form a condescending trend.

Therefore, Lujiang County can't afford to lose, but judging from Lu Kang's current ability, he will inevitably be restrained in the face of the future situation.If I can help him defend once, can I help him defend a hundred times?

As soon as this thought came out, he couldn't help but froze in place.

How can the enemy give birth to other thoughts at present?It is not too late to think about Lujiang to realize the strategy of annexing the other three counties in the south of the Yangtze River first.

"cousin"

"exist"

"Come with me to see Shibo?"

"it is good"

Gu Yong, who was standing in the distance, replied to Jia Nian, then turned and walked down the city wall.

Looking at Gu Yong's back, Jia Nian followed without thinking.

I hope this uncle can see the situation clearly, I hope this uncle will not make such a mistake again, if not, he can only make two-handed preparations.Although such a result is not what I want to see, it is a last resort.

Lujiang can be lost, but Chaohu and Wanxian cannot be lost, because these are places that must be defended.
