Jiangdong, Chaisang.

Just after sweeping the mountain and Yue, Sun Ce was preparing to cultivate and borrow some food from a nearby aristocratic family. Of course, borrowing food is fake, and provoking trouble is real. Recently, the Zhu family is sarcastic and sarcastic. If they can't mess with themselves, they secretly want to make trouble for themselves. Do you really think that they can't see it?

Lu Bu directly gave Sun Ce the position of the Yangzhou Governor. In addition to allowing Sun Ce to participate in the struggle between the two Huaihe Rivers and form a stable pattern in the Central Plains, it also gave Sun Ce the right to act cheaply in Yangzhou.

In this way, Sun Ce not only had the right to decide on matters in the state like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but more importantly, he had an advantage that others did not have - the Yangtze River!

As long as he can guarantee absolute strength, even if there are aristocratic families who want to collude with outsiders, they can't get through, and Sun Ce and Yuan Shu have not completely broken up. Yuan Shu probably knows that his situation is not good now. After beating Liu Bei and plotting against Xuzhou, he was chased by Guan Yu all the way to Shouchun, he was much more tolerant of Sun Ce, the little brother. Even after Sun Ce took down Lujiang, he took the initiative to send someone to congratulate him.

Who said that Yuan Shu was arrogant? After being taught a lesson one after another, Yuan Shu was still very adaptable. Now, not only did he take care of Sun Ce in every way, making Sun Ce feel embarrassed to ask him for Jiujiang, but Yuan Shu also took the initiative to send someone to show kindness to Yuan Shao, expressing his willingness to regard Yuan Shao as his respect.

In fact, as long as people suffer enough losses, they will naturally grow. The price of Yuan Shu's growth was that he was educated by Lu Bu, Cao Cao and Liu Bei in turn. From the first prince in the world to the current rule, only Jiujiang and Runan counties under his command. As for Sun Ce, he can only be said to be Yuan Shu's nominal subordinate.

Now between Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Ce, Yuan Shu could only comfort Sun Ce first and communicate with Cao Cao's nominal boss Yuan Shao, willing to unite the two families and let Yuan Shao suppress Cao Cao and make Cao Cao dare not do anything to him anymore. In this way, only pressure from Liu Bei is left.

Although he lost a battle, Liu Bei's foundation in Xuzhou was unstable and there was not much food or food. Even if Yuan Shu couldn't beat him, he would still consume energy.

The mountains and rivers have been flat, and the two Huai Rivers are a pit. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both saw this. Lu Bu just wanted them to get entangled with Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, and maybe Cao Cao was added.

So after Sun Ce tried to attack Guangling twice and was blocked by Liu Bei, he decisively looked at Jingzhou.

Compared with Xuzhou, which is mostly plains, Jingzhou, which is sandwiched between mountains, is more suitable as a springboard for the development of Jiangdong to the Central Plains.

During several discussions between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the princes of the Central Plains are now fiercely fighting each other, and Yuan Shao is faintly moving south. There may be a major war in the future. It is better to take advantage of the chaos of the princes and take down Jingzhou first. If possible, then take down Shu. In this way, there are three dangerous places in the world, and the Sun family will occupy the second one. At that time, you can watch the princes of the Central Plains and Lu Bu fight, waiting for an opportunity to move.

"Lord, the military advisor is here!" Ling Cao stepped in and said with politeness to Sun Ce.

"I told him to come in by myself, I didn't have long legs, and I even asked someone to inform me, get out!" Sun Ce said angrily.

"I said I wanted to introduce someone." Ling Cao smiled bitterly.

"So..." Sun Ce coughed lightly when he heard this, corrected his clothes and showed a formulaic smile on his face: "Please hurry!"

"...Oh~" Ling Cao bowed and quickly retreated.

Soon, Zhou Yu took Zhang Song in from outside the tent and said to Sun Ce: "Lord, this is Mr. Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao from Zhang's family in Chengdu."

"Oh?" Sun Ce stood up and smiled, "I heard a lot about Mr. Husband and I have a strong memory for a long time. I have long wanted to visit him. I just wish I had no chance to see him at first. Today I can see Mr. Husband, which is enough to comfort my whole life!"

"I am so happy that I am a nameless person, I will praise you!" Zhang Song quickly became polite. Whether he was sincere or not, at least his attitude was very comfortable.

Is human nature a worldly way? If it does not involve interests, isn’t it just that you praise me and I praise you? Sun Ce looked young, but obviously he already understood the rules and was quite good.

After the two sides praised each other, Zhang Song finally explained his purpose.

"Lu Bu entered Sichuan?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, saw Zhou Yu nodding, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "When did this happen? How could there be no sound at all?"

Zhang Song smiled bitterly and said, "It has been several months since Lu Bu entered Shu. When he left, he had already attacked Mianzhu Pass. Therefore, he was ordered to leave Shu and seek help from the heroes of the world."

"Of course, I can't sit idly by and watch the Lu thief harm the Han family's relatives!" Sun Ce nodded, his eyes shining coldly. He had enough reasons to attack Lu Bu in this matter, whether public or private, because Yu Gong and Lu Bu were traitors, and he used the emperor to command the princes. Even if his state governor was taken by Lu Bu, don't worry. I gave it to the emperor. What does it have to do with you, Lu Bu? Yu Private, the hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable, and he has never forgotten it for a day.

"But..." Speaking of this, Sun Ce looked at Zhang Song: "Sir, if I enter Shu at this time, I must pass Jingzhou. Then Liu Biao in Jingzhou may not be able to allow me to go there."

In fact, if you can clean up Jingzhou first, it will be fine. Whether you want to attack Nanyang or Shu, it is enough. But in fact, it is not easy for Sun Ce to take Jingzhou. Although he suppressed the Jingzhou army after several tests, it is difficult to take it down.

"I am here to come here, and it is precisely for this." Zhang Song said seriously: "The traitors are in power, and I think that the heroes in the world should let go of their prejudices and fight against the traitors together."

"Sir, I mean..." Sun Ce leaned back and looked at Zhang Song and said, "Let Liu Jingzhou give way to me?"

Zhang Song also knew that this was difficult. If this was the case, it would be equivalent to handing over his own life and death to Liu Biao. Everyone was an enemy before, but now they are trusting each other with life and death, which is obviously unrealistic.

"I'm also considering this issue along the way, but I don't know if the envoy really has the will to fight against Lu Bu?" Zhang Song looked at Sun Ce and said.

"I have a grudge against Lu Zhe to kill my father. Now it is a grudge between the country and the family. I am still questioning my desire to fight against the thief?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and asked back.

"I dare not!" Zhang Song shook his head: "If the envoy is willing, there is a way out."

"I hope to hear the details." Sun Ce signaled Zhang Song to continue.

Zhang Song took out a simple southern map from his arms and said, "I know the envoy is concerned, but this time, the fight against Lu is also to lift the siege of Chengdu, so there is no need to enter Shu. We can attack the enemy and rescue us!"

"Oh?" Sun Ce looked at Zhang Song after hearing this: "Sir, are we going to attack Nanyang, the place of Guanzhong?"

"Not bad!" Zhang Song nodded and said, "This time, not only Duke Jingsheng and the envoy, Duke Jingsheng has spread the news to the Central Plains. If nothing unexpected happens, it is the alliance of princes in the world to fight against the thieves. Therefore, in this attack, I will try to persuade Duke Jingsheng to withdraw from Jiangxia and temporarily exchange the envoy, and then we will join forces to attack Nanyang."

Nanyang is an enclave for Lu Bu. Although there are no other forces in the middle, it is separated by the Qinling Mountains and the road in Wuguan is 400 miles away, which seriously delays the speed of message transmission and the speed of reinforcements. It is also an excellent place to enter Guanzhong!

When Liu Bang entered Qin Pass, he took this path. As long as Wu Pass was broken, he could go straight to Chang'an!

Sun Ce did not look at the map. He had studied the map of Jingzhou countless times. Even if he didn't look at it, he was familiar with the terrain of Jingzhou and where Nanyang was.

This is the best attack under Lu Bu's rule. Compared with Jiguan in Hedong, Jingxing in Shangdang, Hulaoguan in Luoyang, Yiqueguan and even the Junhan in Guanzhong, there was no such dangerous place in Nanyang where one man could not open a pass without ten thousand men.

However, compared to Nanyang, Sun Ce wanted Jingzhou more and looked at Zhang Song and said, "Can you really help me if you want Mr. Jingsheng to ced Jiangxia?"

"It's not a cede, it's just a temporary loan." Zhang Song shook his head and said.

"If I borrow it for a while, I wonder if I ask you, if I take Nanyang in the future, how should I divide the land?" Sun Ce asked with a smile.

Zhang Song was obviously prepared, shook his head and said, "There is now the main focus of attacking traitors, but it is hard to say how to divide the land. However, I will try to convince Duke Jing Sheng to give up the four counties of Jingnan Yu's envoy after successfully fighting the thief?"

"Okay." Sun Ce smiled and said, "If Mr. Jingsheng is really willing, I have no objection to this battle."

Everyone knows that what they say now is farts. When it comes time to distribute interests, it is still the one who has a big fist. Unlike the last time the princes challenged Dong, there will be no leader this time, at least there will be no one here, even Yuan Shao and Sun Ce will not be afraid of him.

However, what should be said still has to be said. If you take advantage of it, then there is no need to say it. If you suffer a loss, you can use today's agreement to explain it.

The four counties in Jingnan were not as good as one Nanjun or Nanyang. They worked hard to attack Nanyang, but in the end they made Liu Biao profit and think beautifully.

But then again, with the four counties in Jingnan, Sun Ce could go up the river and take the land of Shu. As long as he took down Shu, he would be surrounded by Jingzhou on both sides. Nanjun, Nanyang, and Jiangxia would be his own at that time.

Since it is sooner or later, why bother to distinguish it so clearly?

Of course, this must be agreed to Liu Biao.

"No need to delay, I will go back to discuss with Mr. Jing Sheng." After Zhang Song finalized the matter with him, he immediately stood up and said to Sun Ce.

"Why do you need to call me like this sir?" Sun Ce also stood up and looked at Zhang Song in surprise.

"The situation is urgent, we should make a decision quickly!" Zhang Song shook his head, refused Sun Ce's kindness, and set off again for Xiangyang.

"Gongjin said, can this agreement be accomplished?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and said after seeing Zhang Song away.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Bo Fu would rather ask, if Liu Jingsheng is willing to exchange the four counties of Jingnan for Nanyang?"

"I do it anyway!" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and laughed.

"Heroes have similar views!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

As expected by the two, under Zhang Song's handling, Liu Biao finally agreed to the conditions and temporarily gave up Jiangxia and withdrew the Jiangxia garrison. After the matter was completed, the four counties in Jingnan were sent to the Sun family.
Chapter completed!
