"My lord, you need to rush to Jiangxia first." Zhou Yu gave advice, and then he elaborated on his reasons, "Jiangxia was previously guarded by Xu Kun. After Xu Kun left with his troops, those who stayed behind in Jiangxia also We are still from Xu Kun's faction. As our gateway to Jingzhou, Jiangxia's geographical location is very important and must not be lost. Your eldest brother also managed to capture Jiangxia with great difficulty. I'm worried that Liu Biao will take advantage of Xu Kun's death. The morale of the army was unstable and they took the opportunity to take back Jiangxia. Once Jiangxia was lost, Luling and other places that were supposed to be guarded by Sun Ben could not be saved."
"Is Liu Biao so capable?" Sun Quan expressed doubts. If Liu Biao was really courageous, he would not have only guarded Jingzhou for so many years.
"Liu Biao may look forward and backward, but don't forget, there is still Huang Zu." Zhou Yu reminded, "Huang Zu has lost Jiang Xia, so he will be watching him all the time. If he really thinks that the opportunity has come, Huang Zu may not ask Liu Biao for instructions. , he will take action immediately."
Having said this, Zhou Yu paused.
"So, Lord, this is actually our best chance to kill Huang Zu in one fell swoop. As long as Huang Zu dies, there will be only one Cai Mao left in Jingzhou who can compete with us."
Sun Quan nodded. Zhou Yu was right. Misfortunes come with blessings. Although Xu Kun's death brought many problems, if used properly, this is indeed a good opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole. As long as Huang Zu dies, the success rate of capturing Jingzhou will immediately increase by 30%. This coincides with Sun Quan's original strategy of giving priority to capturing Jingzhou.
only. . . . . .
Sun Ce's affairs always weighed heavily on Sun Quan's chest, making him unable to care about anything else.
"I'll go to Lujiang, you go to Jiangxia." Sun Quan said immediately.
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, wondering why Sun Quan would make such a weird arrangement.
"My Lord, have you forgotten? Xu Kun's subordinates will not listen to me at all, let alone at this juncture. In addition, as a Lujiang native, I am very familiar with all aspects of Lujiang. It is up to me to recapture Lujiang. I'm afraid it's easier too," Zhou Yu said.
Sun Quan shook his head,
"You said that you can't command Xu Kun's people, and you can't command Sun Ben's people either. So if you want to take back Lujiang, you will only use the people we brought here. At this time, Jiangxia is obviously more powerful than Lujiang. It is important. Huang Zu's life is more valuable than Li Shu's. In this case, it is natural for you to take these soldiers to Jiangxia, while I rush to Lujiang." Sun Quan said, "For me, Xu Kun I have never used either Sun Ben's soldiers or Sun Ben's soldiers, and they are not easy to use. But in comparison, Sun Ben is my cousin. We have been in contact with each other since we were young, so I should have better communication with him. In short, , Brother Zhou, you are my trump card now. I believe that wherever you appear, there will definitely be no problems on that side. So, I want to put you on the most important side!"
"Hahaha! Okay! Since my lord trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to your trust. I, Zhou Yu, have taken Huang Zu's life!" Zhou Yu laughed immediately.
"Without further ado, Brother Zhou, let's get ready and set off separately."
"As you command!"
Zhou Yu clasped his fists at Sun Quan, then turned and left. The moment he turned around, the smile on Zhou Yu's face disappeared. Zhou Yu may be arrogant, but he never underestimates the people of the world, let alone Sun Quan. How could Zhou Yu not see that Sun Quan was deliberately flattering him with his words? In addition, Zhou Yu didn't believe that Sun Quan, who miraculously captured Xuzhou all the way, would not have the confidence to capture Huang Zu in Jiangxia? People who are not used to Xu Kun? Could it be that Sun Quan was used to people like Wu Jing? You must know that Sun Quan was not the lord of Jiangdong at that time, and sometimes Wu Jing might not completely listen to him. If you really want to use it, how can it be so easy now!
Therefore, Sun Quan must have some other purpose. Recalling that Sun Quan suddenly became so cooperative and was willing to leave Wu County with him overnight and rush to Lujiang, Zhou Yu guessed whether Sun Quan had some reason to go to Lujiang!
What happened that made Sun Quan suddenly decide to abandon Jiangdong politics and choose to rush to Lujiang? Moreover, what worries Zhou Yu even more is that Sun Quan obviously does not want him to know this reason.
Zhou Yu frowned. It seemed that he was going to secretly keep some eyeliners here.
••••••
Soon, Zhou Yu led a large army and continued along the Yangtze River to the upper reaches of Jiangxia. Sun Quan took a small group of troops and secretly broke away from the team and rushed to Lujiang.
On the way, detailed battle reports from the Lujiang side continued to come over, allowing Sun Quan to basically restore the direction of the entire battle.
This Li technique is not simple. Where did it come from?
Sun Quan knew that the descendants of hundreds of families gathered in the Demon Sect, which could be regarded as a rich source of talents. But marching and fighting are not just armies on paper. Most of the Demon Sect disciples hide in the dark all year round. They may be strong in martial arts and good at conspiracy, but without real experience on the battlefield, how can they be so sophisticated?
He is very calm when he is calm, his strategies are used appropriately, his timing is extremely clever, and he is extremely decisive when he takes action. Although this victory was largely due to the discord between Xu Kun and Sun Ben, Li Shu was already quite powerful in being able to take advantage of and seize this opportunity.
If Li Shu was really a hermit before, then Sun Quan guessed whether there was someone behind him.
This is one of the things Sun Quan cares about. Another phenomenon that puzzled Sun Quan also happened on the way to Lujiang. That was the arrival of a new January, but Sun Quan did not form a card game as expected.
In fact, there is another unknown factor why Sun Quan must choose the Lujiang side, and that is that the new month is coming. In theory, Sun Quan can form a poker game again.
Li Shu killed Xu Kun and obviously started war against Jiangdong. Sun Quan went directly to Li Shu this time. According to usual experience, this game can be established 100%. What exactly is the problem?
On the outskirts of Lujiang, Sun Quan successfully arrived at Sun Ben's temporary camp.
"Lord!"
"Greetings, my lord!"
Brothers Sun Ben and Sun Fu rushed out after hearing the news. Sun Quan's arrival was so sudden that no one expected it in advance.
"Sun Bi! Do you know your guilt?"
As soon as Sun Quan arrived, he shouted coldly at Sun Ben in front of all the soldiers.
This move really shocked many people, especially the soldiers who followed Sun Quan. The military camp opposite is full of Sun Ben's cronies, but there are only a few people on Sun Quan's side? Sun Quan wasn't afraid of pushing Sun Ben into a panic, so he just kept on doing it and tried to usurp it on the spot!
Sun Ben's expression changed slightly, but he only hesitated for a second or two before he immediately fell to the ground.
"This subordinate is aware of his guilt and please be punished by your lord."
"Oh? Do you know what crime you committed?" Sun Quan raised his eyebrows. Sun Bi would have such a reaction. Sun Quan was obviously trying it out in the illusion of Sansi, otherwise he would not have been able to act like this.
This time, unlike when he faced Wu Jing in Xuzhou, Sun Quan’s purpose was to directly seize Sun Ben’s military power!
