Entering the first lunar month, the land of Jiangdong may still be a little worse than the green scenery of Bashu, especially the water vapor that diffuses in the air all year round makes it even colder than Bashu.
Staying on the border of Jiangdong for a long time...: .
But after all, we have survived the cold winter, which may not be much easier than in the north. At least when the sun is willing to spread its blazing heat to the earth, people can feel the long-lost heat, and the joints that are aching due to the dampness and cold also feel the warmth.
He chanted happily, and his whole body became active. He wanted to imitate the birds on the branches and sing happily under the sun.
I casually took a handful of ice water that was still cold in spring and splashed it on my cheek. The biting feeling immediately drove away the sleepiness on my body.
The originally rippling river water quickly returned to its former calm as it flowed slowly. The clear bottom of the water surface reflected a young face, not beautiful or handsome, but
But he has a young and energetic face, with the unique confidence of a young man, giving him a somewhat different demeanor.
He stood up slowly and stretched out casually, but his naked body revealed his majestic physique, especially the veins on his arms that stood out like horned dragons.
It also makes people understand the powerful power of the owner of this body.
"Captain Gao, I heard that Yuan Shu has become more aggressive since he captured Lujiang. Do you think he will choose to go south again or go north to have a duel with Cao Cao? I don't know about the killing god.
How terrible the same Sun Ce is, it makes people's emotions change when they hear him."
"You ask me how I know. I have never 'crossed' with that Sun Ce, but I think he must be a very powerful person."
"How powerful are you compared to Chief Gao? I think Chief Gao is at his current level. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to reach it in my lifetime."
"I haven't fought before, so how can I jump to conclusions. But I really want to fight with that man. And it's not just Sun Ce, but also people like Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun, and Zhang Fei from the north. I
I also want to compete with them."
"However, Master Zhou Mu tried to attack Liyang before, but was repulsed by Yuan Shu's army. I'm afraid he will never be able to cross the Yangtze River in this life. I don't know if Chief Gao Tun's wish can be realized."
"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words. Although Mr. Zhou Mu is not good at military strategy, he still works hard to govern, and he is not stingy with us..."
"I know, I know. But, for someone like me who doesn't have much ambition, life is actually very satisfying now. If I'm lucky enough to be promoted to the rank of captain or military lord, even if I only dream about it,
You will also wake up with a smile. But you are different from Gaotun. I know you are a person with great ambitions, so how can you really stay in this corner and grow old slowly."
This brief early morning conversation quickly ended with the sound of a drum.
It's just that maybe the speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. The young boy with lofty ambitions felt a little confused for the first time - should he continue to be trapped here, or should he leave this prison and go to a wider world?
?
The choice of life path obviously requires carefulness, but it also makes the young man feel hesitant.
After all, this is the first time that the young man who has always been happy-go-lucky has faced such a major life choice.
Of course, even if you really don't leave here, there will be many battles between Shanyue hidden in the mountains and Yuan Shu's army from the north who may come back at any time. But the only regrettable thing is that there are not many famous ones among them.
Be a hero.
After all, this is a remote place far away from the central area of the Han Dynasty.
However, this confusion soon dissipated completely. It's not that this young man has thought clearly about his future path. It's just that every day's training leaves him no time to think about those things - in fact
Ordinary training is really nothing to this young man's physical fitness, but the young man is obviously not the kind of person who lives his life. Even though his character has a somewhat happy-go-lucky attitude, he has not given up being strict with himself.
requirements to ensure that you can get adequate security no matter where you are.
Therefore, the amount of training three times that of an ordinary soldier is just an ordinary amount of training that this young man uses to maintain his condition.
And it is precisely because of this extraordinary performance that the young man, who is young, has no military exploits, and does not have any commendable background, has jumped from an ordinary soldier to the current commander of the village without any
People who are not convinced by this.
Yes, if you are not convinced, go ahead!
At the beginning, some people might still have some illusions, but unfortunately, the boy's right hand could obviously obliterate those illusions. Over time, even the middle and high-level generals would no longer consider competing with the boy.
If he had not had military exploits and no family background, perhaps the young man could have climbed up the ranks in Liu Yao's army.
Because Liu Yao was a pure royal family member from the gentry class. Although he was a little far away, he was also a famous person in the world. He was known to the world together with his brother Liu Dai who had been dead for a long time. His uncle Liu Chong was once one of the three princes.
He is a lieutenant, so his vision is naturally a bit high. If this boy from a rural background does not have any extraordinary performance, he will probably never arouse the other party's interest.
After dreaming back at midnight, the young man suddenly became hopeful. He hoped that Sun Ce from Huaibei could cross the Yangtze River and march eastward on Yuan Shu's order. Although he felt sorry for the folks in his hometown, if he could defeat Sun Ce, he might be able to realize his dream.
Alright.
It's a pity that this kind of thing is obviously not something that a young man can decide.
But the young man obviously didn't know that the opportunity he was waiting for had already arrived.
Inside Liyang City.
"Bo Fu, how does it feel to leave Yuan Shu."
"Did Gongjin intend to laugh at me? He actually needed to leave in such a way. If my father knew about it, he would definitely beat me up with his fists."
"But this is already your best choice, isn't it."
"Yes, the best choice. After all, I have worked under Yuan Shu for so long, and have worked hard for him for so long, but I got this end. I know that this result is the best, but why do I still do it?
I feel bored."
"You, it's not that you can't save face. Originally, you were always thinking hard about how to get rid of others. But now they take the initiative to get rid of you, so you naturally feel unhappy. It's like being ignored.
Just like children."
"Gongjin, you actually said that I'm a big kid. Believe it or not, I'm such a big kid that you can't get out of bed."
"You want to defeat me, Bo Fu, you are too young!"
"I am a man who is said to have unlimited endurance!"
"Humph~ Who said he was going to fight for three hundred rounds before but he lay down and fell asleep first?"
"That doesn't count!"
"You know something from the smallest detail, and the great Sun Bofu is nothing more than that."
"..." I feel like the topic will go in a very strange direction if we continue talking, so we'd better stop broadcasting it.
All in all, in short, although Yuan Shu was still increasingly wary of Sun Ce, after some communication between the two, Sun Ce successfully obtained permission from Yuan Shu to lead his father's old troops to attack Jiangdong.
As for the price Sun Ce paid for this order, apart from the parties involved, it seems that only Sun Ce's good friend Zhou Yu knows this well. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Sun Ce is still Yuan Shu's trusted general.
Moreover, he was appointed as an important minister in battle formation by Yuan Shu, and may even marry Yuan Shu in the future. It can be said that he is still an important member of Yuan Shu's army.
What the actual situation is like, Yuan Shu will not say, and neither will Sun Ce.
However, Zhou Yu knew very well that this result was Yuan Shu's best choice as a last resort.
The Yuan Shu of today is not the Yuan Shu of the time when the princes were fighting against Dong.
At that time, the authority of the center of the Han Empire had just been overturned, but it still retained a lot of residual power. The reason why Yuan Shu was able to rise was precisely because of the role of this residual power, so that both Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south had the ability to respond to everything at once.
.
It is also the residual power that gives Yuan Shu, who is of noble birth and has considerable experience in the imperial court, enough power to suppress Sun Jian, who comes from a poor family and has climbed up step by step through military exploits. Even if Yuan Shu is just a mere Nanyang
The governor of a county can win over the other party by claiming that Sun Jian is the powerful governor of Yuzhou.
He is confident enough that although he has paid a lot, he will gain more in the future, and he will definitely take the lion's share.
But now, with the step-by-step actions of these princes who once enjoyed the residual power of the Han Empire but became the gravediggers of the Han Empire, while they continue to grow themselves, they also gradually lose the dazzling aura that the Han Empire once had on them.
If the now extremely unstable triangular alliance of Li Shushi, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can still use the emperor's authority to delay this process to some extent, Yuan Shu, the enemy of the triangular alliance, has obviously turned on the acceleration software.
exist.
Without the blessing of the imperial power, the only way to maintain one's power in this era is to possess sufficient strength.
However, a major defeat in the early years of Jian'an forced Yuan Shu to retreat to some areas north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huaihe River. Both in terms of military strength and various talents under his command, there was a serious loss. It can be said that his reputation has been reduced to the lowest.
point.
So at this time, Sun Ce's problem became apparent.
When Yuan Shu's power was strong, no matter how many achievements Sun Ce made or how much reputation he had, Yuan Shu would have enough confidence to suppress him, so he could use his daughter to marry Sun Ce, and he could also give Sun Ce enough
space to display, then
Later, when necessary, he asked his direct descendants to go out and show their faces. Sun Ce, with the help of Zhou Yu, also cooperated with the situation very well. Therefore, although it cannot be said that there was no friction between them, they basically maintained the same attitude.
To achieve a harmonious situation between the king and his ministers.
But now there are only two counties left in the area that Yuan Shu can control, and among them, Lujiang County, if Sun Ce had not finally made the final decision, Yuan Shu's direct descendants would have to continue to besiege the city for another three years. Maybe Lu Kang died from exhaustion before they could
success.
This immediately highlighted Sun Ce's position in Yuan Shu's army, and he seemed to be replacing him.
The most important thing is that Sun Ce is Yuan Shu's prospective son-in-law, and he is legally qualified to inherit the Yuan family business!
However, Yuan Shu still had no way to deal with Sun Ce - in terms of resourcefulness, Sun Ce, assisted by Zhou Yu, definitely had above-average adaptability; in terms of leading a surprise attack, Yuan Shu had no generals who could fight against Sun Ce. In the past, maybe Qiao Rui added
Ji Ling and Zhang Xun could barely make Sun Ce frown, but now
With the loss of strong generals and elite soldiers, Yuan Shu really has no chance of winning; in terms of force, Sun Ce's personal ability can be said to be completely unafraid of the enemy's assassination. This is also the plan that Yuan Shu seems most unlikely to realize - unless Sun Ce is willing
Drink the poisonous wine sent by Yuan Shu, but still the same sentence. Can such a plan be realized with Zhou Yu here?
Since Sun Ce cannot be eliminated, it is better to get together and disperse.
Yuan Shu used this method to gain Sun Ce's favor to a certain extent. Even if Yuan Shu dies, his descendants will be able to live a reasonably wealthy life when they depend on Sun Ce. Sun Ce can continue to live a moderately wealthy life to some extent.
Borrowing Yu Ze from Yuan Shu’s Four Generations and Three Dukes
, after all, the family background of Sun Jian's lineage is really too low, and it may not be obvious in other places, but in Jiangdong, a place where the Sun family's family status is clearly understood, I want to make it clear.
The powerful local family surrendered. Yuan Shu's reputation was somewhat useful.
As Zhou Yu said, Sun Ce is just losing his temper due to some personal reasons. In fact, he is also satisfied with the result of such a substantive and peaceful breakup, otherwise he would not be so obedient.
Going to Jiangdong, after all, for him, if he is really dissatisfied, directly turning against him is definitely the first option.
In this way, following Yuan Shu's order and in the name of rescuing Sun Bi and Wu Jing, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu embarked on a journey back home.
"Brother, you seemed worried when you woke up this morning. Is there something wrong with our troops?"
"Zhong Mou. Do you think he is someone who will consider whether there will be any problems with the deployment of the army? He probably met some pretty girl again, or maybe the girl somewhere rejected him. That's all he is.
Allow yourself to reject others, but if someone else rejects you, even if you don't like that person, you will definitely be sulky, at least for half a day."
"It's never been more than three days at most!"
"Yes, yes, my Bo Fu is an open-minded person. He never gets sulky for more than three days."
"Zhou Gongjin, don't run away. If you run away again, I will block you in the room tonight. Don't blame me for being rude then!"
"Since Brother Zhou Yu's guess is wrong, then what exactly is Brother Zhou Yu worried about?"
Okay. Sun Quan, you actually immediately accepted that Sun Ce would not consider loopholes in the army. So what kind of existence have you become, Sun Ce, in the eyes of your younger brother?
"Under the loving care of Brother Zhou Yu, he has become a useless brother except for fighting."
"Sun Zhongmou, don't 'force' me to use family methods!!!"
In fact, the fact that a few people can have such fun proves that Sun Cejun's progress is quite smooth at this time.
Since Sun Ce led his father's old troops to attack Liu Yao's army, he first defeated Danglikou, guarded by Liu Yao's general Zhang Ying, and Hengjiangjin, guarded by Fan Neng and Yu Mi, which Liu Yao had set up in Jiangbei to capture Liyang.
The stronghold completely eliminated Liu Yao's threat to the Huainan area. Then he landed in Jiangdong, not only
Immediately lifted Liu Yao's siege on Sun Ben and Wu Jing's troops who had retreated into a corner, and at the same time captured an important stronghold on the Yangtze River waterway, which was also a backup and grain transfer base established by Liu Yao's army to support the attack on Liyang.
Zhujitou not only seized a large amount of military equipment, but also made its reputation in Jiangdong great.
After that, just like the protagonist of a YY novel, people from all over the world rushed to submit - but after careful analysis, most of them were Huaisi people. The real powerful Jiangdong indigenous families were just three or two kittens, and the rest
They all continue to wait and see.
Even so, Sun Ce's army, with Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Chen Duan and Qin Song as the masterminds, and Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao and others as the vanguard minions, still expanded rapidly in a short period of time.
Liu Yao had to switch from his original strategic attack to a comprehensive defense.
It's a pity that this approach cannot stop Sun Ce at all.
It can be said that Sun Ce was making great strides in Jiangdong, and no one could resist his footsteps. Zuo Rong, who ran from Xuzhou to his hometown in Yangzhou to seek refuge, was beheaded by Sun Ce because he successively murdered Zhao Yu and Xue Li, who had warmly entertained him.
, even if Sun Ce and Zuo Rong had been allies, in order to gain the support of Jiangdong scholars, Sun Ce would naturally not hold back.
Of course, killing Zuo Rong not only gained positive reviews, but also captured a large number of people and wealth. These were all gains after Zuo Rong's two successful murder operations, and all of them benefited Sun Ce.
Naturally, Sun Ce would not stop there, so he chased and beat them, and in one go, captured Danyangxia Moling. Seeing that the entire northern part of Danyang County fell into Sun Ce's hands, he was not satisfied, and even rushed towards Wu County to kill him.
Afterwards, the army was stationed at the northern foot of Shenting Ridge at the junction of Danyang County and Wu County, while Liu Yao personally commanded the army and camped in the south of Lingnan.
It can basically be determined that this battle is the battle that determines the life and death of Liu Yao's army.
If he wins, he can naturally survive for a while. But if he loses, it will be extremely difficult and even impossible to make a comeback. After all, Sun Cejun is like the rising sun at this time.
Dazzling and dazzling. But
That situation can be said to be unstoppable and invincible, not to mention that Sun Ce himself is like a strategic weapon. Once the idea of "invincibility" is left in his mind, even ordinary generals will no longer be able to defeat him.
It is difficult to be hostile to him, let alone ordinary soldiers.
And this noisy morning happened on the first morning after Sun Cejun arrived at Shenting Ridge.
"Do you know, just last night, really just last night, the Emperor Guangwu who founded the Han Dynasty came to me in a dream!"
"Brother Gongjin, do you believe it?"
"Although Bo Fu is a little off the mark sometimes, he shouldn't lie about such things."
"Gong Jin still understands me, so guess what Emperor Guangwu said to me."
"Brother Gongjin, what do you think?"
"Give me back my life? Do I want to borrow another twenty years from you? I will never understand your tenderness?"
"I'm talking about you two. What I'm talking about now is a very serious matter!"
"Okay. Brother, please continue talking. Brother Gongjin, I recently studied "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and there was a section that I didn't quite understand."
"Alright Zhongmou, if you continue to play, be careful that your elder brother will hang you upside down in a tree and apply fresh honey on certain special parts of your body. Anyway, they are all left by your father."
A secret recipe handed down from our ancestors'."
So, the naughty children finally calmed down.
"There must be a temple dedicated to Guangwu nearby. I must visit it and thank him for his affirmation of me."
"Brother, what you mean is that Guangwu 'handed' this world to you?"
"Although his character is always a bit strange, if it is Bo Fu, I really want to believe it is true."
Looking at Sun Ce's face that had lost its childishness and become more angular, the smile on Zhou Yu's face was full of warmth.
Not to mention, after being pointed out by the villagers, there is indeed a small Han Guangwu Temple on Shenting Ridge, so the excited Sun Ce ignored everyone's objections and Liu Yaojun's camp was not too far away.
Starting from Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Song Qian and other thirteen riders, leaving Zhou Yu, Sun Quan and Ling Cao behind to guard the camp, went straight to the mountain.
At the same time, not long after Sun Ce started taking action, relevant news reached Liu Yao.
"This must be Sun Ce's kid's plan to 'lure' the enemy!"
Liu Yao threw the information he had obtained so easily into the waste paper without even looking at it. He did not believe that Sun Ce had fought and won consecutive battles before, and his IQ was like a god's.
The act of people going out for a walk at will.
That guy must be ambushing a large number of people in the dark, just waiting for us to take the bait.
Because this was a battle that could not be lost, Liu Yao had to be cautious, lest he lose the whole game with one careless move.
Of course, from here you can also see how little Liu Yao attaches importance to intelligence. If the same information comes into the hands of Li Shushi, he will immediately call on Xiaoqiang and others to bring strong bows and crossbows to trouble Sun Ce, and even secretly
He would never be merciful even if he planted golden cupping cannons everywhere and used "flower bombs" to destroy him.
After all, it is not once or twice that Sun Ce rushes around in a light car as soon as his head twitches. Perhaps in most cases, he is able to escape because of his extremely strong force, such as when he was in Yanshi
time, but that was also because Li Shushi was somewhat caught off guard.
Since Li Shushi was prepared, the unprepared Sun Bofu must suffer.
However, Liu Yao's caution could not affect everyone in Liu Yao's army.
"Are you telling the truth?" The young man named Gao's eyes were already green at this time, and he looked so excited that it made people feel scared.
"Yes, according to reliable information, Sun Ce only brought a total of thirteen cavalry as guards..."
"Hahahaha!!! God is really helping me! Sun Bofu, let me, Gao Chong, come and see if you are really as capable as the rumors say!"
After saying that, just like Sun Ce, he directly galloped his horses and rushed towards Shenting Ridge without ordering his troops.
Of course, Gao Chong is not stupid. Liu Yao has clearly given orders to hold the camp securely. He would be overly excited at best if he rushes out alone. However, if he orders all his troops to attack, it will not only be disobedient and disrespectful, but may even deduct a penalty.
The label of "intending to rebel" is not an exaggeration.
However, he is a well-known figure in the military. Even if he attacks privately, a dozen ordinary soldiers with passionate feelings rush out of the camp behind him. They plan to challenge the legendary legend together.
The "Little Overlord of Huaisi" Sun Ce and Sun Bofu!q
