Liu Biao asked Cai Mao to kill Sun Yi, and ordered people to rush to Chengdu to send Sun Yi's head, and sent back the news that Cao Cao had united various princes to attack Yizhou.
Although the story of killing Sun Yi spread in Jingzhou, it did not spread widely.
When Sun Yi was killed, the envoys who went south with Sun Yi had already taken a boat to continue southward to Nanchang. The envoy going to Sun Jian's territory was named Zhang Hao, and he was an official under Xun Yu.
Zhang Hao, like Sun Yi, also volunteered to go.
After Zhang Hao arrived in Nanchang County, Sun Jian immediately met Zhang Hao.
For Sun Jian, he no longer didn't care whether Wang Can killed the young emperor or Cao Cao killed the young emperor. Liu Xie died, and Sun Jian's loyalty to the Han Dynasty was also broken. It was just how Sun Jian should answer Zhang Hao.
This is a headache for Sun Jian.
After he met with Zhang Hao, he put Zhang Hao aside.
County House, study room.
Sun Jian summoned Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and also summoned Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to the study.
Sun Jian said directly: "You all have a general understanding of Zhang Hao's matter, so I won't go into details. How should you answer him? Tell me your opinions."
Sun Ce was anxious and immediately said: "Dad, there is not only a big river between us and Yizhou, but also Wuxi Barbaric River running in the center. Even if we are strong, we may not be able to take advantage. Although our strength is comparable to that of Liu Biao
They are comparable, but compared to Wang Can who has been developing in Yizhou for two years, there is still a big gap!"
These words actually made Sun Jian not agree to Zhang Hao.
Sun Jian said: "Some time ago, I remember Mr. Zibu said that Jiangdong should be settled first, but now Cao Cao invites the princes from all over the world to attack Wang Can. Once we reject Cao Cao and wait for the princes to defeat Wang Can, won't we have to offend Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?"
, Yuan Shu and other princes in the world, if this is the case, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses!"
Zhang Hong said: "My lord, Jiangdong has the advantages of Jiangdong, and the Central Plains has the advantages of the Central Plains. They cannot be compared."
This statement seems to be somewhat off topic.
However, Sun Jian was patient and asked: "What is Mr. Zigang's advice?"
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "Cavalry is the most important in the Central Plains. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Lu Bu all have elite cavalry, which can control the battlefield and be invincible. However, when the cavalry of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes arrived in Jiangdong, they were definitely not suitable.
The reason is that the water system in Jiangdong is developed and paddy fields are everywhere, and there is a lot of rain in Jiangdong. The cavalry can easily get stuck in the mud in Jiangdong and lose its advantage. Therefore, the battle in Jiangdong relies not on cavalry but on warships."
Having said this, Zhang Hong bowed and asked: "May I ask my lord, does Cao Cao have a warship?"
Sun Jian slapped his thigh suddenly and said: "That's right, that's right. Our navy is extremely elite. Why should we be afraid of Cao Cao!"
However, Sun Jian showed a sad look again and said: "The navy of Jinfan thief Gan Ning has developed rapidly and has surpassed our navy. It is a pity that they will not submit to Jiangdong!"
In fact, when Zhang Hong said this, Sun Jian also understood the meaning of Zhang Hong's words. Sun Jian occupied Jiangdong and said that he was not afraid of Cao Cao. And assuming that after Cao Cao defeated Wang Can, he would have Yuan Shao to the north and Lu Bu to the east.
With Liu Biao and Yuan Shu in the south, Cao Cao had no time to take care of Sun Jian in such a situation.
Even if Sun Jian disobeyed Cao Cao, Cao Cao could not offend Sun Jian.
Sun Ce stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang's words are right. I will send Zhang Hao away right away."
Sun Jian nodded and signaled Sun Ce to do something.
After Sun Ce left, Sun Jian said: "Since we will not attack Wang Can or help Wang Can, our energy will definitely be focused on Jiangdong, so how should we plan?"
Zhang Zhao heard this and looked at Zhou Yu.
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were responsible for internal affairs and did not interfere in the military affairs.
Regarding military matters, although Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others are senior, they are general-type talents and are still not good at commanding the military. Although Zhou Yu is only twenty years old in this regard, he has already shown extraordinary ability.
Talent, under Sun Jian's command, he became a leader of the younger generation.
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "My lord, considering your humble position, it will be easy to capture Jiangdong."
Sun Jian smiled and said: "Gong Jin, don't talk nonsense in front of Mr. Zibu and Mr. Zigang."
Zhou Yu cupped his fists and said, "My lord, please wait and see!"
…
On the Yangtze River, a small boat was traveling quickly towards Jingzhou.
This ship was specially sent by Sun Ce to send Zhang Hao away when he was sending Zhang Hao away. Zhang Hao and his entourage stood on the edge of the ship's side with a solemn expression on his face. He did not complete his mission to Jiangdong this time and returned.
It will definitely be difficult to do business in the end, and you may even get scolded.
In fact, if Zhang Hao knew that Sun Yi had been killed, he would definitely be lucky to come back alive.
It's November and the weather is a bit cold.
Zhang Hao stood on the deck, and a cold wind blew in his face, which shocked Zhang Hao's spirit. He looked into the distance, looking at the endless blue ocean, and praised him. Such a scene must not be seen in the north, here.
This scene made Zhang Hao feel happy and felt much better.
However, a scream suddenly sounded.
"The Jinfan thief! The Jinfan thief is here!"
The soldier driving the boat had a look of fear on his face, and his expression suddenly became dull.
Zhang Hao had never heard of the Jinfan thief and asked, "Who is the Jinfan thief?"
The soldier immediately said: "Jinfan thief Gan Ning, and Jiuyi Zhou Tai, these two water thieves are mixed together, whether it is Jingzhou Navy or our navy, they are not the Jinfan thief and Jiuyi
Our opponents, alas, we are in danger." At this point, the soldier said: "Master Zhang, if you go north in a small boat, you will definitely not be patronized. Now that you are on our warship, you will definitely be captured."
A sad smile appeared on the soldier's face, waiting for Gan Ning's ship to arrive.
Not far away, a large ship sailed by. Gan Ning stood on the side of the ship, and Zhou Tai stood next to him.
The area above the Yangtze River has been occupied by Gan Ning and Zhou Tai for two years. Gan Ning and Zhou Tai developed their navy, leaving Sun Jian and Liu Biao helpless.
Gan Ning waved his hand, and his soldiers immediately took out wooden planks and put them on Zhang Hao's boat, and took Zhang Hao and others captive.
In fact, Sun Ce deliberately did this to Zhang Hao.
Gan Ning and Zhou Tai have occupied the Yangtze River Basin and have declared their hegemony over the Yangtze River Basin. Any ship of Liu Biao and Sun Ce traveling on the main road of the Yangtze River will definitely be attacked. Sun Ce deliberately asked soldiers to sail Zhang Hao north. On the one hand,
He wanted to frame Zhang Hao, but on the other hand he wanted to test Gan Ning.
Of course, the soldiers had no idea what was going on.
After Gan Ning captured Zhang Hao and interrogated him, he immediately learned Zhang Hao's purpose.
After learning of Cao Cao's arrangement, Gan Ning's expression changed drastically. He asked his soldiers to seize Sun Ce's warship, kill the soldiers, and then set sail back to the naval base. After the warship returned, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai took the boat together.
Heading west from the Yangtze River, and then north on the tributary of the Tuojiang River, headed for Chengdu, while Jiang Qin stayed in the water village and presided over the affairs of the navy.
