However, it is not easy to save Guan Yu and Liu Bei's wives in that situation. It is not something that can be done simply with a few hundred troops and a sneak attack. The army needs to have the ability to penetrate deeply into Xuzhou in an instant!
Thinking of this, Sun Quan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. So, should he first capture the gateway to Xuzhou from Jiangdong, which is Guangling County north of the Yangtze River? Maybe, you can think about it.
Temporarily suppressing his thoughts, Sun Quan knew that at least the plan mentioned by Diao Chan would not allow Sun Quan to take the initiative to come to Liu Bei and Guan Yu for help. It's not that Sun Quan doesn't believe in the character Liu Bei sells, but Sun Quan really doesn't believe in Liu Bei's current strength. Xiaopei, where Liu Bei is currently staying, is too unfair, and he can't hold on to that one-third of an acre.
So Sun Quan asked again,
"Brother Qin, do you have any other candidates?"
After saying that, seeing some changes in Diao Chan's face, he quickly added,
"Of course, it's not that I don't believe Brother Qin, it's just that I can't leave Jiangdong for the time being, and it's impossible for my family to let me risk leaving Jiangdong."
After hearing Sun Quan's explanation, Diao Chan's face softened slightly. Indeed, today is different from the past. The Sun Quan of today is no longer the Sun Quan of the past. Let’s not talk about Sun Quan’s status in the Sun family, but let’s talk about his newly established election department. Without Sun Quan, a direct descendant of the Sun family and the minister of the election department, Diao Chan would not be able to carry out his work. From this point of view, Sun Quan really cannot leave.
"Guan Yu is already the most suitable candidate. The rest can only be regarded as a possibility." Diao Chan said to Sun Quan, "According to legend, in the southern barbarian land, there was a female leader named Mrs. Zhu Rong. It is said that she was the successor of the fire god Zhu Rong. . Nothing is groundless. Since Mrs. Zhu Rong is called the God of Fire, she must also have a very strong Yang attribute Qi. However, legends are legends after all, and I don’t know exactly how far she can go. Therefore, if there is nothing else you can do, I don’t recommend you to count on this. Of course, I heard that your eldest brother has recently recruited a Shanyue army. You may be able to use the Shanyue people to go to the southern barbarians to contact Mrs. Zhu Rong and inquire about specific information. It’s not too late to make a decision after we investigate clearly first.”
"Mrs. Zhu Rong..."
Sun Quan shook his head slightly, thinking of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo. Even if Mrs. Zhu Rong really met the conditions, it would not be easy at all to make the Southern Barbarians surrender. Even if Diao Chan said what she said, instead of counting on the uncertain Mrs. Zhu Rong, it would be better to focus on Zhao Yun or Guan Yu. Once these two characters are really obtained, the significance is not just as simple as making Sun Quan's yin and yang harmonious!
after,
Sun Quan briefly communicated with Diao Chan about the formation of the Jiangdong Selection Department. Diao Chan knew the composition of departments in this era better than Sun Quan. She told Sun Quan in detail how many people were needed and what aspects each person was responsible for. These are The wisdom accumulated by the ancients over a long period of time is much more perfect than Sun Quan's random thoughts alone. Of course, Sun Quan also added some of his own opinions. He hoped to make his selection of troops more efficient.
At this time, Diao Chan acted like a secretary in later generations, recording the suggestions put forward by the leader (Sun Quan) and promising that a complete plan would be given in a few days. It is equivalent to Sun Quan making a certain degree of reform in the selection of departments in this era. Because it is a newly formed department and Sun Quan is the absolute leader, reforming it at this time will definitely be much simpler than in the future.
After settling the worries that came here, Sun Quan didn't stay long and left this inconspicuous courtyard with another worry. By the time they returned to the main hall, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had finished their quarrel and left.
"Where are the people?"
Sun Quan pulled Zhu Zhi, who seemed to be waiting for him on purpose, and asked.
"Going to Zu Mao's side." Zhu Zhi replied.
Sun Quan nodded. Regardless of whether Sun Ce and Zhou Yu still had differences, after the quarrel, they would definitely go to see Zu Mao immediately. Zhou Yu rushed over deliberately, although it was to wake Sun Ce up, but he would not give up looking for clues about Sun Jian.
"What's the result?" Sun Quan asked directly.
"My lord didn't say anything until the end, but judging from his reaction, I knew that he had actually been convinced." Zhu Zhi smiled softly, "If nothing else happens, they will send troops again soon. "
"Is that so..." Sun Quan pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "Can our current military strength be able to fight on both sides?"
Zhu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.
"Second Young Master, what do you have in mind?"
Sun Ce was obviously preparing to continue to expand westward, and Sun Quan obviously had other goals when he raised such a topic at this time. Judging from the current forces bordering Jiangdong, except for the west, they are either Yuan Shu in Huainan or Lu Bu in Xuzhou.
Sun Ce's expansion to the west, not only to pinch the weak persimmons, but at least to attack a force that is fragmented and not integrated into a whole, can be defeated individually with Sun Ce's methods. But as for Sun Quan, neither Yuan Shu nor Lu Bu is easy to provoke. Wouldn't it be nice to sit on a mountain and watch a tiger fight? Do you have to take the initiative to join forces and start a three-party battle?
"I want to capture Guangling." Sun Quan said directly. He had nothing to hide from Zhu Zhi. Besides, this was just Sun Quan's personal idea. If he really wanted to implement it, he would need support from others.
"Guangling?" Zhu Zhi frowned slightly, Guangling, that is the gateway to the north bank of the Yangtze River, does Sun Quan want to plot Xuzhou? Xuzhou is indeed a popular place, but because of this, so many princes in the world are eyeing Xuzhou!
"On the current battlefield in Xuzhou, Lu Bu already has a clear advantage. As expected, Yuan Shu's army will be defeated soon. At that time, Guangling will face Lu Bu directly. Second Young Master, do you want to go head-to-head with Lu Bu?" Zhu Zhi said .
"Teacher, first of all, we must see this rare opportunity. After my eldest brother wiped out Chen Yu, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu fought in Xuzhou. Currently, they do not have the extra troops to occupy Guangling, the southernmost part of Xuzhou. No matter it is Yuan Shu or Lu Bu may both have a consensus, that is, whoever wins the Battle of Xuzhou will naturally own Guangling County. At this time, Guangling is basically an unclaimed land. When they decide the winner, they will send heavy troops to guard it. At that time, it will be difficult for us to capture Guangling!" Sun Quan said, "I said earlier that fighting on two fronts does not actually require my brother to divert many troops. Can we capture today’s Guangling County?”
"What about after taking Guangling? I said, once Lu Bu defeats Yuan Shu, Lu Bu's cavalry will rush directly to the city of Guangling. By then, can our little soldiers and generals be able to stop Lu Bu?" Zhu Zhi asked.
"What if I say that Lu Bu won't come?" Sun Quan said suddenly.
