"Fengxian, there is nothing you can't let go of. Now Liu Xuande and Guan Yunchang can let it go, get the position of prefect, attack the city and plunder the land, but you avoid it. Are you blaming Lingqi?"
Mrs. Yan held up her sleeves and secretly wiped away her tears, looking very miserable.
Lu Bu was drinking alone...
Ms. Cao next to her lowered her head and said nothing. She had always been meek and unassertive.
Diao Chan, on the other hand, chuckled at the side: "This time, no one expected that the biggest winner turned out to be Xiao Lingqi, which is really amazing. If Chen Gongtai had followed her and really gave her to Yuan Shu, now I'm afraid It is unspeakable suffering to be burned with that Shouchun."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Bu's body stiffened again, and the wine filled his heart with sorrow, making him drink even more tastelessly.
Several ladies were knocking one after another, silently protesting, sitting there loading wood, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
However, the knife that broke the bone that day was humiliating in front of the generals, and he was carried back to the house like a dead dog.
In the end, it was his opponent who came to treat his injuries.
This was losing his daughter and losing his army, but because of the innumerable connections, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.
This is not the age of retirement yet.
"Liu Xuande has really taken up his post in Jiujiang as the governor? Yuan Shu is actually dead?"
Lu Bu didn't realize it himself, but he was shamefully moved.
It seems, it seems, there is nothing wrong with this development.
The best idea in the past was just to settle down in one place, have a foundation, and be able to enjoy all the glory.
Running around and getting into fights, he didn't have much ambition.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of surrendering to Cao Cao in the first place...
Now, Cao Cao was beaten away and did not dare to invade; Liu Bei had surrendered and charged into the battle; and Yuan Shu had not been proclaimed emperor for long, but when the Xuzhou army arrived, he died of illness.
I heard that even Guan Yu, the guy with a nose that reaches to the sky, has a chance to become the governor of Lujiang...
To be honest, Lu Bu was really moved.
Even if he is not moved, several women in the family are also moved.
'You are still strong and strong, but you are growing fat at home. If you don't strive for a bright future and end your own future, it is tolerable, but what is unbearable? '
That's probably the idea.
As Diao Chan spoke, she became sad again, "If Cao Cao had conquered Xiapi, we would all have died without a burial place. It is said that that man loved humiliating other people's wives. If something unexpected happened to Fengxian, I can't even imagine it." , what will happen next?”
When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore. He slammed his wine glass on the table and let out a low roar.
"Okay, I'll go ask him to come over."
I can't live this day.
He didn't see the deep joy in the eyes of several women.
"Yes, Lingqi has almost lived in the Chen Mansion now. Moreover, she also controls 30,000 troops and arranges military camps in various places. When the autumn grain is harvested, each county in Xuzhou will be able to mobilize 50,000 elite troops. By then, The army is dispatched. Gao Shun has a calm temperament and will probably stay in Xuzhou. How about you, husband? Are you just going to stay in Xiapi and let others breathe?"
Mrs. Yan stopped sobbing, put down her sleeves, and said with a smile: "I think that Chen Yuanzhen is extremely open-minded. He will not hold any grudge against him. He can even reuse Liu Xuande and others, and he will not let go of the past." The best general in the world doesn’t need it.”
"The best general in the world?"
Lu Bu sighed.
This name used to sound so heroic.
Now, it sounds particularly harsh.
Have you ever seen the best general in the world who retreats with one move and falls with two moves?
"How about inviting him to come over for a martial arts competition or a drinking contest?"
"What kind of martial arts competition are you looking for? Can you beat others?" Diao Chan rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile: "I'd better do it. In my name, invite him to have a banquet, play the piano and play chess. My sister is very good at embroidery. , Don’t we still have a piece of white tiger skin? We can embroider a tiger skin cloak for him, which can be regarded as earning some face for the girl Lingqi.”
"Okay, that's it."
Mrs. Yan nodded and smiled happily.
At this moment, the Xiapi Mansion Office was operating at full capacity.
It is worth mentioning that.
After Lu Bu's defeat, Zhang Kun did not drive their family out and took the governor's mansion to himself.
He really can't do this.
Anyway, now the whole of Xuzhou belongs to him, and it doesn't matter whether the temporary government office in Xiapi can live there or not.
A few days passed.
Lü Bu left Xiapi City with eight thousand troops and went straight to Pei State.
The troops were directed towards Yanzhou.
Of course, the biggest purpose of this army is not to attack, but to defend.
Prevent Cao Cao from sending out partial troops to harass and attack.
Nowadays, Xuzhou is engaged in large-scale farming and a flourishing faction cannot fall into the quagmire of war.
"As soon as Liu Bei arrived, Yuan Shu fell ill and died."
When he heard the news, Zhang Kun actually felt a little incredible.
It can only be said that some people are born with extraordinary energy, and wherever they go, people will give way to them.
Shouchun in Yangzhou basically had no resistance. After Yuan Shu died of illness, Yang Hong and Zhang Xun had no intention of fighting and surrendered with 30,000 soldiers.
After Liu Bei took over the post of governor, he immediately sent troops to pursue Yuan Shu's cousin Yuan Yin, son-in-law Huang Yi and others, together with Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and others, with a total of 80,000 troops to attack Lujiang.
Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang, led his troops to retreat to Wancheng to hold on, and joined forces with Sun Ce to form a horn-like force to fight against Xuzhou's troops. By this time, they had become a pot of porridge.
"Yes, Yuan Shu has been going against the grain in the past two years. The people under his rule are not living well, and he does not have much fighting power. He has fought with Cao Cao several times, but he has lost every battle. He even lost Yuzhou." Gao Shun shook his head and sighed: "This man's defeat is already certain. However, Sun Ce is bold and brave, and has won the hearts of the people. Many major families in Jiangdong have also joined him. Now that his civil and military officials are gathered together, and his soldiers are numerous, it is very difficult to deal with Wen Yuan. They fought several tentative battles, with both sides winning and losing, so the paperwork was in a hurry."
"Everyone has his own victory and defeat, that's right."
An inexplicable smile flashed in Zhang Kun's eyes.
At this time, Sun Ce was at the last moment of gaining momentum.
In this year, the little overlord will sweep across Jiangdong, swallow up most of Yangzhou in the name of Wu Hou, and prepare to send troops north to fight for the world with Cao Cao.
As a result, just as he was about to head north, he was killed by a few unscrupulous assassins before he even set foot on the border of Yuzhou. The good situation was ruined in one moment.
After that, it will be a situation where Sun Quan and the Soochow family compromise with each other and form an alliance to fight against the north.
Although Soochow is known as the Kingdom of Wu, in Zhang Kun's view, it is actually not a complete country, but a combination of various aristocratic families gathering troops and uniting together.
In terms of defense, all the aristocratic families would send troops together, so it would be really difficult to break in.
But when it comes to attacking, Sun Quan, as the king of Wu, has to look at the family's face when dispatching troops and horses.
Therefore, from this aspect, once Sun Ce died, the opportunity for the true unification of Wu was lost. Compared with Sun Ce, his younger brother Sun Quan still lacked a bit of domineering and prestige, and could not convince the crowd.
"At this time, Sun Ce was at his most powerful. In military affairs, he had seven great tiger generals, Taishi Ci, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Ling Cao, and He Qi; in literature, he had Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Yu. Fan, Lu Fan and other four famous ministers, as well as two great talents, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng...
Although the strength of the two sides was equal, both in terms of counselors and generals, they were slightly outnumbered by Liu Bei and Zhang Liao.
Even with Guo Fengxiao on hand to make suggestions, it is already considered very good to be able to maintain an even balance and remain undefeated. "
Gao Shun and Lu Lingqi had never heard of some names.
However, since Zhang Kun said these people were very powerful, they naturally became nervous.
In the battle of Lujiang, most of Xuzhou's elite troops came out. If they were defeated, it would be like a blow to the head, and they would no longer be able to make progress.
All we could do was watch Sun Ce's troops march northward and soar into the sky, unstoppable.
"The last general invites you to fight."
Gao Shun's eyes flashed and he couldn't sit still on the spot.
Lu Lingqi hesitated to speak. Recently, she was responsible for spring plowing and field work, and she couldn't get away from it for a while.
It is not practical to make temporary substitutions.
"No, for such a great opportunity, of course I should take it personally."
"Lord, will you go there in person?"
"We need to bring more troops!"
"Eight hundred cavalry is enough. If Xu Chu, the tiger fool, leads the personal guards, there will be no danger." Zhang Kun shook his head, Xuzhou was in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. It also had to guard against Cao Cao stealing chickens. At least 30,000 troops and horses should be kept here. defense.
Besides, with your own strength.
There is not much difference between more soldiers and fewer soldiers.
…
Half a month later, Zhang Kun was sitting in the tent.
All the generals gathered.
"My lord, now Sun Ce and Liu Xun have joined forces, with a total of more than 70,000 troops. They have set up camp in the Wancheng area, forming an angle with the city, making it difficult to attack."
"For more than ten days, the two sides have been engaged in several small battles, with no outcome determined. Sun Ce is extremely brave and has powerful generals such as Tai Shici under his command. Even if he is a fighting general, he cannot gain the upper hand."
Guo Fengxiao frowned.
There are also experts on the opposite side, and the defense is impenetrable.
This battle turned out to be a protracted battle, with both sides coming up with their own unique plans and fighting back and forth, but they were evenly matched.
"Now, Zhou Yu is outside and Sun Ce is inside. They are dependent on each other. There is a steady stream of food and grass support from Jiangdong. It is difficult to leave the city."
Zhang Kun smiled and shook his head, "If Sun Ce is defeated, Jiangnan will no longer be able to resist. It's actually not as complicated as you think."
He looked up at Wancheng's army and saw that the troops were in good order and their morale was as high as a rainbow. He waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow at 11 o'clock, after the meal, we will continue to challenge. I will meet Sun Ce personally."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"My lord, no."
All the generals spoke together.
"I have made my decision, don't worry, Sun Ce actually went into battle to fight against the generals. This is a great opportunity. If God does not take it, he will be blamed for it."
…
the next day……
Two formations facing each other.
Zhang Kun rides a red rabbit horse and carries a three-pointed two-edged sword.
The first horse came out of the formation, and the sound shocked the whole country.
"Sun Ce, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
These days, the two sides are fighting each other in battle formations, and there are battles between generals. Such a challenge is not too unexpected.
Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and others seemed to have seen the original challenge under Xiapi City again, and they couldn't help but sweat secretly in their hearts.
However, I am not worried about my lord.
But worry about the other person.
This battle was like child's play.
At the military meeting last night, nothing else was discussed.
Just one thing has been finalized.
Just wait for the enemy's generals to fall off their horses, and immediately capture Sun Ce and other generals. Taking advantage of the enemy's leaderless situation and the morale of the army is in chaos, he directly attacks with his troops and takes Wancheng in one go.
As soon as this plan came out, even Guo Fengxiao was made to laugh.
However, since it is the Lord’s decision.
Of course it has to be implemented.
As a result, the ridiculous thing happened that Zhang Kun ran to the opponent's formation and challenged him while riding a horse.
"Could it be that the little overlord of Jiangdong will only rely on the city for defense? If so, then I really look down on you. I can only say, you are a tiger father and a dog son. Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, was so great at the time, but all the sons he gave birth to were... It’s useless…”
Zhang Kun Shiran stood in front of the formation, an arrow away, riding his horse back and forth, provoking the opponent with words, and hearing smoke rising from the other side's orifices.
Sun Ce couldn't help but burst into anger.
"The little thief is arrogant."
As he spoke, he would raise his spear and leap on his horse.
"No."
Zhang Zhao and others all spoke out to persuade him: "Chen Yuanzhen is very brave. I heard that even Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were defeated by him. My lord, please don't fall for his evil deeds."
"It's just the boast of the world. Cao Cao has lost his spirit after being defeated again and again. In Nanyang Zhang Xiu, even his son died, so it is not surprising that he was defeated. Chen Yuanzhen is just a person who achieves things because of his people. With Lu Bu's help, I got an advantage, but in my opinion, it's nothing more than that."
What Sun Ce said is actually not wrong.
After all, there is always some distortion when news is passed around.
Jiangnan naturally doesn't know how Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Xuzhou.
Even if they knew and heard the rumors about how tall Chen Yuanzhen was and how tall he was, they were not trustworthy.
The two formations were fighting. How could a man like Sun Ce, who believed in his own bravery, be timid and avoid the enemy?
"This time, no one can compete with me. Isn't that right? Do you still have to hold the battle together? Even if the other side has some conspiracy, it will be extremely difficult to implement it."
Sun Ce was not worried about being unable to win the battle.
He was worried that there was clearly a one-man fighter on the opposite side, and while they were fighting, several people came forward at once.
Of course, if that's the case, it wouldn't be a big problem. With the generals on his side gathered together, we are not afraid of any mishaps.
On the opposite side was actually the leader of an army personally entering the battle formation.
This is a huge opportunity.
As long as that person is captured, the army will be defeated in an instant.
How could he endure it in the face of such great benefits?
"What if you come forward and scare him away? No, I will personally go into battle and kill Chen Yuanzhen, and you will cover up later..."
Sun Ce rode forward, but no one could stop him.
But they were all on standby, ready to step forward at any time.
"I finally understand, how did you die?"
Seeing Sun Ce leading the way, holding a spear, he rushed forward with murderous intent.
Zhang Kun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This man's blood was flowing all over his body. The starting point of his spear was like holding a mountain. His energy penetrated the blade for more than half a foot, cutting the air with a roar. Even if Zhang Fei fought with him, he would definitely not get the slightest benefit. No wonder the generals were fighting for days, but Xuzhou's soldiers and horses did not take any advantage.
What made Zhang Kun smile was not that the other party was lacking in skills.
It was Sun Ce's response.
He could never take off the label of "underestimating the enemy and rushing in".
"Take my shot."
He shouted violently, and slightly unfolded the big black gun in his hand, and seventeen or eight gun shadows appeared in his hand, and the sharp energy was like a violent storm.
