Chapter 499: Zhou Yu Makes a Plan

Because Ji Ling wanted to seize the military power in Lujiang from Liu Xun, Liu Xun simply did not stop doing two things.

Originally, Sun Ce was very sharp against Lujiang County's soldiers, and Liu Xun hoped to use the title of emperor to boost the morale of the Lujiang army.

"Hahaha!"

Sun Ce was laughing out loud in the tent, just at that moment Zhou Yu walked in: "Bo Fu, what are you laughing at?"

"Gong Jin, Liu Yuqing defeated Zhang Xun in Yuzhou. Yuan Gonglu fled in a hurry after hearing about it, but unexpectedly died of illness." Sun Ce said with a smile: "Ji Ling and others escorted Yuan Yao's child to Lujiang, Liu Xun supported Yuan Yao is the emperor, and he calls himself a general."

"So, Ji Ling's head is probably in a different place?" Zhou Yu said slowly.

Sun Ce nodded: "That's right, Liu Xun said that Ji Ling rebelled against him, and he has already beheaded him."

Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly brightened: "Bo Fu, this is a good opportunity!"

"What good opportunity?" Sun Ce asked curiously.

"Ji Ling is the number one general under Yuan Shu's command, and he is very famous in Huainan." Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "Now that Liu Xun has killed Ji Ling, we can order the army's secret agents to spread news in Lujiang County, claiming that Liu Xun murdered Ji Ling. Ji Ling, blackmailing Yuan Yao, actually wants to proclaim himself emperor, so that the hearts of Lujiang County will not belong to Liu Xun."

"Okay!" Sun Ce said seriously, "Gong Jin, I will leave this matter to you."

Zhou Yu nodded firmly, and said: "Once Lujiang River is captured, our army will have a fixed stronghold in Jiangbei. When the time comes to go north to Yangzhou, occupy Huainan, and occupy Yangzhou entirely. The foundation of the hegemony!"

"Also, the old thief Huang Zu and Liu Biao must not let go!" Sun Ce clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "When we occupy the seven counties of Jingxiang and Huainan, we can go north to compete with Liu Yuqing. "

Zhou Yu smiled: "Don't worry Bofu, sooner or later we will confront Liu Yuqing's Xiliang soldiers."

Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce had always been a proud character, so at a young age, he crossed the river and attacked Liu Yao, sweeping the six counties in the east of the river, and his reputation shook the world. However, Liu Ye's record is more brilliant than Sun Ce's, and he became famous earlier. He can be said to be the number one prince in the world. Sun Ce is naturally dissatisfied. It's a showdown.

"Okay! Then take Lujiang River first and push Huainan."

Under Zhou Yu's planning, Jiangdong Army's secret operations spread rumors in Lujiang County, claiming that Liu Xun wanted to monopolize power, killed Ji Ling who supported Yuan Yao, and tried to establish himself as emperor. , very disturbed. Among the Lujiang cities, the county guards of several cities were loyal to Yuan Shu, and after knowing Liu Xun's rebellion, they turned their backs and surrendered to Sun Ce.

Seeing that Zhou Yu's meticulous plan worked, Sun Ce immediately led the army, with Tai Shici, Huang Gai and others as generals, and marched northward, pointing directly at Lujiang City.

When Liu Xun came to his senses, the black flag with Sun characters had already been planted under the head of Lujiang City. Unwilling to sit still and wait for death, Liu Xun decided to give it a go. He mobilized the young and strong soldiers in the city and marched out of the west gate with an army of 15,000. Fight with Sun Ce with all your strength.

However, the 20,000 elite soldiers under Sun Ce's tent were the elite soldiers who followed Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong, and they were full of vigor. After being defeated, Sun Ce took advantage of the situation and rushed into the city.

The king's flag at the top of the city changed, and the Liu character flag standing on the top of Lujiang City was cut off with a sword, and replaced with a black Sun character general flag.

In the Lujiang meeting hall, Sun Ce was full of energy, and Zhou Yu beside him was also very generous. The two looked at each other and laughed loudly, saying everything without saying a word.

"Yuan Shu was forced to leave Lujiang County by someone back then, and now someone has finally fought back." Sun Ce said with emotion.

When Yuan Shu wanted to point his sword at Yangzhou, it happened that Sun Ce asked for troops, so Yuan Shu assigned his father Sun Jian's old army to Sun Ce. Sun Ce's first stronghold was Lujiang County. Sun Ce defeated Lu Kang, the former governor of Lujiang County (Lu Xun's clan uncle) ), based on Lujiang County, crossed the river to attack Liu Yao, and pacified Jiangdong.

"Lujiang County is located in Jiangbei. After occupying Lujiang County, our army will have the opportunity to make strategic choices." Zhou Yu said proudly.

"Get the map!"

Not long after, the guard outside the door walked into the room holding a national map of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, which was as tall as a person. Zhou Yu, under the attention of the generals, walked slowly to the map and drew out his long sword.

"Everyone!"

Jianfeng pointed at Lujiang County, and Zhou Yu said: "Now, our army has crossed the Yangtze River. We can use Lujiang County as the base, go north to attack Huainan, and take Yangzhou entirely. Follow the example of Wu King Fu Chai and go north to Huangchi to form an alliance with the princes, and achieve Wuyue supremacy!"

King Fuchai of Wu is a loser in the minds of most people, because his arrogance caused Wu to be destroyed by Yue King Goujian. , refers to: Duke Mu of Qin, Duke Xiang of Song, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Huan of Qi and King Zhuang of Chu. Huimeng, so Goujian took the opportunity to copy his hometown.

"Secondly." Zhou Yu turned his sword and moved to the southwest, pointing at Xiakou (Jiangxia County Government), and said: "Our army can also advance westward. With our Jiangdong navy and Jiangxia Huangzu in a decisive battle, we will win. Then we can go straight in and annex the seven counties of Jingxiang, which is the former land of Chu State, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, so that the south of the Yangtze River will be our army's battle flag!"

"Okay!" Sun Ce said happily, "Gong Jin is really the talent of Fan Li and Gongsun Ao, and the world is at hand."

Tai Shici smiled and said: "With Zhou Lang formulating a strategy for our army, I'm afraid it will not be difficult to win the world."

Huang Gai nodded with emotion: "It's a pity that Wentai Gong didn't have someone like Gong Jin to help him, alas."

The straightforward Chen Wu yelled: "Military Master, what are you waiting for? Let's send troops right away. Liu Jingsheng is sitting in Jingzhou and doesn't want to make progress. Cao Cao just got the land of Huainan."

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Although our army has won consecutive battles and has high fighting spirit, the six counties in Jiangdong are new lands after all. Although the gentry in various places appear to be submissive, they are actually not submissive. Besides, our army is not strong. Attacking on both sides is nothing more than spreading our forces, and I'm afraid we won't get anything."

"Yes." Sun Ce nodded. Although he won consecutive battles, he was not without brains, so he was naturally not dazzled by the victory.

"Someone's suggestion is that our army rest and recuperate for the time being, train the soldiers, and slowly go north."
