Chapter 563 The Battle Drum Is About to Sound
A smile appeared on the corner of Sun Ce's mouth. From the beginning to the end, Gongjin didn't mention the Central Plains, which means that the Central Plains is not a place to stay for long.Although this place is densely populated and the land is fertile, it is too harsh compared to the environment in his field.Even if they occupy the Central Plains, they have to face the prying eyes of the North, Guanzhong, Jing, and Yang states.

And the Central Plains is very likely to become a battlefield where multiple forces are fighting, and those who are not masters of great talent and strategy cannot gain a foothold in this dangerous place.Or there is a large rear area, which can obtain a steady stream of troops, material resources, and financial resources.

"Master Gongjin, these three strategies can calm the world. It seems that the third strategy is the most dangerous, but I actually think that the first is the most dangerous, and the third is relatively gentle. Under Yuan Gong's wings Underneath, it seems that there are many constraints, but it can use Yuan's background to strengthen itself. Although Yuan Gong will do great things if he gets the Jade Seal of Chuanguo after he has great power, I will turn our backs without harming righteousness. However, under the support of some powerful families In the eyes, it must be the person who betrayed the Lord. They will be strongly opposed by them, which will affect the war in Xitunjing and Yizhou."

"Besides, the land in the south is vast. It is really difficult to maintain the speed of expansion while appease the aristocratic family."

"If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where there is no redemption"

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu nodded.

Unexpectedly, the lord could remain rational in such a situation, and it seemed that he was right to seek refuge.

"Judging from the Sun family's influence and connections in Jiangnan and Jingzhou, as long as the lord occupies these two states, he will be able to send troops to Yizhou to persuade Jiaozhou at a very fast speed. However, after occupying Yizhou, how to appease the wealthy families in central Shu is really difficult. It's quite a headache."

Zhou Yu said slightly annoyed.

Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder.

"Don't rush and think slowly, as long as you take Jiangnan first. Then it will be the same as you said, and more than half of the plan will be solved."

"promise"

Zhou Yu replied.

How can you not know when everything has been said?It seems that the lord also means the first strategy.Although this plan is full of dangers, it is indeed the best strategy.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from behind, and a soldier ran fast with a bamboo slip in his hand.

"report"

"Jiangnan Express"

The voice rang in his ears, and the soldier hurriedly handed over the bamboo slips in his hand.

The conversation between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce was interrupted, and at the same time, they looked back at the soldier in the direction of the voice.

He reached out to take the bamboo slip and slowly opened it.

The handwriting appeared in front of his eyes, and Sun Ce's spirit was shocked, showing a deep sense of joy in his heart.Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly bowed, turned around and walked in the direction he came and went.

"Gongjin, great things come true"

Looking at the excited Sun Ce, Zhou Yu showed suspicion.

Sun Ce reached out and handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Zhou Yu, and motioned to him.

Zhou Yu looked at it quickly, and when his gaze passed the last handwriting, instead of being ecstatic, his heart sank.I vaguely felt something was wrong, but I couldn't put it into words.

"Jia thief is looking for his own death, why is Gongjin not happy but worried?"

"It's too easy"

Zhou Yu said with a little worry.

Instinctively doubt everything, and always ask why such a thing happened after getting the information.Is there an unusual reason behind this incident?In order to find out the trap hidden in the mist.

"Looking at the rise of Jia thief all the way, it can be said that he has made every step of the way, and he has never taken a risk."

"Why do you do such a thing uncharacteristically now?"

Zhou Yu asked.

Sun Ce frowned, and began to think seriously.

"Could it be that my uncle is deceiving me and Yuan Gong? But what good does this matter do for him?"

"Do you still remember Yizhou?"

"The Yizhou that was rumored not long ago?"

"exactly"

"Don't Gongjin think it's true at this time?"

"Compared with believing that this matter is false, I am more willing to believe that this matter is true. Because Yizhou's falsehood is of no benefit to us. It may even affect our judgment on the situation."

"Even if what happened in Yizhou is true, what good will it do to the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River? And they have already fired their bows at this time, how can the arrows that leave the string be turned back?"

"That's impossible, because he has no way to convince the aristocratic family in the south of the Yangtze River that he won't ask them to settle them one by one afterwards."

Sun Ce said firmly.

Judging from the information so far, it seems that the energies of Yangzhou and the State Shepherd's Mansion have been diverted to the so-called Yizhou.I don't know whether there is a real Yizhou or a fake Yizhou. They didn't respond in time to many things that happened in the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River. The ambition to fight the private soldiers of the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River has been clearly revealed.

Zhou Yu was at a loss for words and didn't know how to reply.

As the lord of Jiangnan in a different place, there is really nothing that can dispel the doubts of the Jiangnan aristocratic family at this time.After all, they have closed shops in various counties, and the grievances of the people cannot be concealed from others.

Moreover, he owns the Sun family's intelligence network, and knows the changes in Jiangnan very well.It is precisely because of too much understanding that I feel more and more that Yangzhou and the State Shepherd's Mansion are doing a big unknown event.

Its response was too slow, so slow that one had to doubt it.

"All the private soldiers of the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River have been transferred overseas, and they have lost the ability to resist. If I don't send troops, I'm afraid I won't have such a good opportunity again."

"Furthermore, the soldiers and horses from Jiujiang have already arrived at our Lujiang County Mansion under the order of Duke Yuan. No matter how the family in Jiangnan is, we have to go south. Otherwise, Duke Yuan will condemn us, and I will not be able to explain it."

"The main force of the Jiangnan soldiers gathered in Wan County, Chaohu, and Changhe Townships, and the soldiers who stayed behind in Jianye were stationed in the four counties, and more than ten thousand soldiers from Shanyue went overseas. The front line of Guangling going to Jianye Port was exposed. As long as we borrow Xuzhou, we will be able to win a battle."

"At that time, if the rear is lost, the main force in the south of the Yangtze River stationed on the front line of Wan County will be in chaos. Coupled with the echo of the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, they will be able to sweep the south of the Yangtze River in an instant."

"Then the Zhang family, Zhu family and uncle of Wu Jun who have made great efforts in this matter can sit in high positions and pave the way for future things."

Sun Ce said with a strong fighting spirit in his eyes.

Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't stop him, and there was no need to stop him. After all, this battle was so important that it was almost related to how far the Sun family could go in the future.Taking Jiangnan as the base is the best choice, otherwise you can only plot Jingzhou and Guanzhong.

"Since my lord insists on this, then I will secretly mobilize the troops of the direct line, and use Xuzhou to enter the river from Guangling to the city of Jianye."

"This battle is dangerous, so please appoint General Huang as the vanguard to lead the main force. My lord only needs to lead some soldiers and horses as backup."

"Why?"

"The situation in Jiangnan is too weird, if there is a change, you can leave calmly"

"Should we only bring Sun's [-] elites?"

"Too much for no benefit increases the risk of exposure"

Zhou Yu said firmly.

After thinking for a while, Sun Ce understood his worry. He had only been the prefect of Lujiang for a short time. Once he mobilized a large army, let alone whether it would affect the war here. Just talking about Lu Kang who was stationed in Wan County. In these years of operation, he was able to get the news of his own troops in one night, and what he faced at that time was the Jianye soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.

Thinking of this, a sense of urgency arose in my heart, and I turned around and led Zhou Yu towards the State Shepherd's Mansion.

The silent drums of war have already sounded, and the next moment is to decide each other's fate.
