Chapter 543 Zhou Lang Decides on the Strategy

Wujun.

Chen Wu was in charge of defense in the county guard's mansion. When he saw someone approaching, his expression suddenly changed, he straightened his back and said respectfully: "Captain Zhou, why are you here?"

"It turns out that Zilie is stationed here today, haha."

The person who came was none other than Zhou Yu, whose prestige in the Soochow army was second only to Sun Ce himself, and even Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other veteran generals could not catch up.

"Is Bo Fu inside now?" Zhou Yu asked.

"The Lord is among them, but since Captain Zhou is here in person, there is no need to report. Please invite Captain Zhou to come in." Chen Wu said respectfully. If ordinary people came, Chen Wu would definitely go inside to report. But Zhou Yu was different. He and Sun Ce had been friends for eight years, and their friendship was as strong as a rock.

"Okay." Zhou Yu didn't think it was strange and walked straight into the house: "Bo Fu, so-and-so is here."

"Gong Jin?"

Hearing the familiar voice outside, Sun Ce couldn't help but raise his head and smile.

Zhou Yu walked into the room calmly, and Sun Ce smiled and asked, "Gong Jin, what's important?"

"The battle in the north has begun!" Zhou Yu stepped forward: "Yuan Shao mobilized his army to capture Huguan and has now entered Bingzhou. When Liu Yuqing heard that Yuan Shao led his army to Bingzhou, he immediately led his troops northward, but Yuan Shao's Fenwu general Ju Shuo He proposed to guard Xingxingkou, so Liu Ye was blocked at Xingxingkou."

"So, war has broken out in the north now?" Sun Ce was immediately interested when he heard this: "In this case, Liu Ye and Yuan Shao are fighting, and the army is fighting in Hebei. Wouldn't our army be able to successfully attack Shouchun and conquer Huainan? "

According to the strategy formulated by Zhou Yu before, Jiangdong Army will choose the right time to go north and attack Huainan in one fell swoop. Now that Zhou Yu has come, Sun Ce naturally thinks that the right time has arrived.

Zhou Yu shook his head and was about to speak when Chen Wu walked in.

"My lord, Lieutenant Zhou." Chen Wu saluted Sun Ce and Zhou Yu one after another, and then said: "Captain Lu, please see me."

"Zijing?" Sun Ce frowned. Although he didn't know what Lu Su was doing here at this time, it didn't hurt to meet him.

"Let Zijing come in."

Chen Wu nodded and retreated. After a while, a middle-aged man with an elegant face came in and saluted Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Sun Ce nodded and Zhou Yu returned the salute respectfully.

"What does Zijing want to see me about?" Sun Ce asked.

Lu Su replied: "My lord, according to the latest information, the Shanyue tribe in Kuaiji County seems to have been instigated by an unknown person. They are preparing to send troops recently. I hope my lord will send troops to pacify them as soon as possible."

"Shan Yue?" Sun Ce frowned and said dissatisfied: "I haven't conquered these barbarians yet, but they came to our door themselves, huh!"

Shanyue is a branch of Baiyue. They have lived in Kuaiji County of Yangzhou and surrounding counties. The Shanyue people have a large number of people, with a total of one hundred thousand. They usually live in the mountains, but they are also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and collect taxes.

Among the officials who took office in Kuaiji County, there were naturally those who were corrupt and perverted the law. These people increased their exploitation of Shanyue. When the Shanyue people couldn't bear it, rebellions would often break out, and the momentum was quite large. Everyone was a soldier. It was Kuaiji County's officials. A big hidden danger.

Sun Ce looked sullen and shouted: "The Shanyue thieves are really ignorant. I will pacify Shanyue in one fell swoop. At the same time, I will support the war with war and recruit Shanyue soldiers into the army."

"Bo Fu, wait a minute." Zhou Yu stood up and said, "Bo Fu is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He must not be used lightly. Besides, although Shanyue has a large number of people, it does not know the art of war. You only need to order a general to go and conquer. Why bother Bo Fu?" Will Fu come in person?"

"Who do you think Gong Jin is qualified for?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "What about He Qi? This man has always been calm yet bold in his military use. If He Qi sends troops, it should not be a problem to pacify Shanyue."

"Okay." Sun Ce nodded and said: "In that case, let He Qi be the captain of Fuyue and be ordered to attack Shanyue!"

After saying that, Sun Ce asked doubtfully: "By the way, Gong Jin, wasn't it a strategy you personally formulated before to choose the right opportunity to attack Huainan? Why can't you do it now?"

Zhou Yu chuckled and looked at Lu Su with expectant eyes: "Zijing, I am planning to use troops against Jingzhou. Can you explain it to Bo Fu?"

Before Lu Su could speak, Sun Ce asked doubtfully: "Zijing is good at politics, and I know that, but military strategy is not a trivial matter. Does Zijing also know about this?"

Lu Su smiled slightly, but was not dissatisfied because of Sun Ce's contempt. Instead, he held up his hands and said, "If my lord does not give up, how about you listen to Su's words?"

"Well, come and listen."

Lu Su said sternly: "As my lord has seen, Liu Ye and Yuan Shao are now two powerful forces in the north competing for supremacy. There is no time for him to take care of them. This is when our army takes the opportunity to expand. And since Liu Ye has sent his troops north, he is naturally unable to interfere in Huainan. We The army relied on the power of the navy to go north to Huainan and fight Cao Cao in a decisive battle. It seemed to be a good strategy, but in fact it was not so."

"oh?"

"Cao Cao dominates Qingxu Prefecture and has strong military strength. Cao Cao himself is even more cunning and has excellent soldiers and brave generals under his command. Even without the intervention of the Liangzhou Army, it will be difficult for our army to win for a while."

Hearing this, Sun Ce frowned and was a little dissatisfied with Lu Su's words of "building up other people's ambitions and destroying his own prestige", but he didn't say anything.

Lu Su continued: "On the other hand, Liu Biao of Jingzhou was ordered by Yuan Shao to attack Nanyang from Beishan. Nanyang County was originally one of the seven counties of Jingzhou and Xiangyang. It was an important area of ​​Jingzhou north of the Han River and the barrier of Xiangyang, the capital of Jingzhou. This time Liu Biao will definitely mobilize his army and do his best to capture Nanyang."

"And our army -" Lu Su's palm suddenly moved to the left from Wu County and reached Jingzhou. The two characters under the palm were none other than Jiangxia.

Lu Su said in a higher tone: "Since Liu Biao wants to go north to conquer Nanyang County, the defenders in the territory are empty and unable to send reinforcements to Jiangxia. If our army seizes this opportunity and takes the opportunity to attack Jiangxia, with more land and less land, wouldn't we have to Win?"

"Huang Zu!" Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and his expression gradually became ferocious. His father Sun Jian died at the hands of Huang Zu, so Sun Ce wanted to attack Jingzhou every day. How could he not be happy now that he got what he wanted?

"However, before our army attacks Jiangxia, we should make arrangements to mobilize the army to Lujiang and give the illusion that our army is marching north to attack Huainan." Lu Su smiled and said: "In this way, Huang Zu must have neglected his defense, and our army To be prepared is to make a mental calculation but not to be careful. If this happens, Huang Zu will be defeated!"

"Okay!" Sun Ce clapped his hands happily and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Zijing to be so talented. But Sun has wronged Mr. Zijing. From today on, Mr. Zijing will be the military commander."

Lu Su smiled: "Thank you, Lord."
