One day later, Sun Quan couldn't bear it anymore and secretly went to Lu Su's mansion, because Zhou Yu was living here at the moment.

After Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan passing the luggage, he asked, "May I ask my lord, how many troops do we have left now?"

"The remaining troops are less than 50,000." Sun Quan replied somewhat depressedly.

"Less than fifty thousand." Zhou Yu murmured

Sun Quan explained: "My elder brother raised 30,000 elite troops and marched to Lujiang. He left 10,000 troops and horses to guard the two counties of Moling and Yuzhang. Originally, Wu County, Kuaiji, and Danyang counties were in the rear area, and the eldest brother had always insisted on taking the route of elite troops, so

There are not many troops left. Therefore, the remaining elite troops in the three counties are less than 30,000, and the rest are newly recruited recruits."

"Gong Jin."

Sun Quan finally became helpless and lost the momentum he had in front of the ministers yesterday. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"My lord, don't panic, we still have the natural moat of the Yangtze River to use, and we still have 50,000 sailors to send out. We will spread our boats widely, sail across the rivers and lakes, and fight to the death." Zhou Yu said in a low voice.

"good."

Sun Quan's heart suddenly cheered up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly.

"We should seize the time to train new recruits now."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu said again.

"good."

Sun Quan nodded heavily again. Immediately, these orders were issued by Sun Quan. The entire power of Soochow began to move.

Zhou Yu began to make plans, and there were still 50,000 naval troops in Jiangdong.

Among them, 30,000 refined sailors have strong combat power, and with the natural chasm of the Yangtze River, they will definitely be able to compete with Liu Xun.

Thinking about it, Zhou Yu gradually gained some confidence in his heart.

"Success or failure has yet to be decided. Who will win is still uncertain." Zhou Yu clenched his fists.

Just when Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others were actively preparing for war, they planned to rely on the Yangtze River's natural chasm to block Liu Xun in Moling.

Liu Ye in Shouchun City also received the news.

"Haha, my lord will definitely be able to capture Jiangdong in one fell swoop."

In the hall of the Shouchun City Prefect's Mansion, Liu Ye let out a laugh as a document was placed on his desk.

Immediately, Liu Ye walked out of the hall, came outside, and looked up in the direction of Jiangdong Kuaiji.

At this moment, the sun was still in the east. Liu Ye looked directly at the scorching sun. The strong light made him squint his eyes.

In Liu Ye's mind, he also recalled the scene when he parted with Liu Xun.

At first, the lord only had one county in Lujiang, but it only took a short time before he defeated Sun Ce's army. Now he has three counties. In addition to his own Shouchun, he already has four counties.

At that time, he was not very satisfied with Liu Xun. But now he was determined and began to work for Liu Xun sincerely.

Recalling the scene at that time, Liu Ye couldn't help but murmured to himself.

"At the beginning, I only expected that the lord might be able to barely save Lujiang County by relying on the danger of the city and save his life from Sun Ce's attack. But what was unexpected was that the lord actually killed Sun Ce who was running rampant in Jiangdong. Now he is sitting here

There are three counties and hegemony in the south. I thought it was the ultimate. But I didn’t expect that my lord is so ambitious and wants to capture the entire Jiangdong."

Immediately, Liu Ye shouted to the soldiers at the door of the hall, "General Liu Jie has been sent to see me."

"promise."

Not long after, Liu Jie came to Liu Ye's study, and the two sat opposite each other. Liu Ye said in a deep voice: "General Liu, my lord is about to capture Jiangdong, and we can't be idle. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we will take advantage of Liu Ye in Runan."

Once Pigui captures it, when my lord stabilizes Jiangdong, he will definitely send troops to conquer the world. By then, our place will be your front station for conquering the world."

When Liu Jie suddenly heard the news, he was naturally ecstatic. He had long wanted to go out and have a fight while staying here. He was convinced by Liu Ye's words, so the two hit it off and went to prepare separately.

After watching Liu Jie leave, Liu Ye thought about things, and the smile on his face became stronger. Then he turned to the south, looking across the city, as if he was focused on Jiangdong Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

Liu Ye thought to himself, "The three of them are also heroes. Why don't they seize their lives at trial early and surrender to my lord?"

Following Liu Ye's order, the entire Shouchun generals were overjoyed...

But he said that more than ten days had passed since Liu Xun came to Moling.

Don't underestimate this short period of more than ten days, but the entire Moling has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The first is the people of Moling. They have accepted Liu Xun's rule. No, not accepted, but accepted happily. Because Liu Xun used the simplest and most brutal way to win people's hearts. After he entered the city, he did not destroy the peace of the people.

And he always thinks about the people.

Compared with Sun Ce's previous rule, life now is really easy.

In the past, when the Sun family was running Moling, taxes were heavy, which led to poor morale among the people.

Now that Liu Xun has just arrived, he immediately reduced the tax burden in Jiangdong a lot. It can be said that the tax rate is extremely low. It can be imagined that the people in Moling City are naturally very happy. After all, compared with the previous tax burden, it is simply cheering.

Moreover, Liu Xun was kind and kind, and had no wrongdoing with the people. Moreover, their beloved Grand Administrator Liu would rather offend the wealthy families than make them happy, so he gave a large part of the confiscated family fields to ordinary people like them.

The common people don't care whether the city's surname is Sun or Liu. As long as they are sincerely good to them, they will naturally obey whoever is sincere. Nowadays, many people worship Liu Xun as a Bodhisattva at home. It can be said that Liu Xun's

Although the reform offended the aristocratic family, the people's hearts really returned to him.

Secondly, there is Moling City.

Although Liu Xun ordered the Moling City to be cleaned up before, the stench and mess caused by the continuous fighting made it difficult to clear it all at once.

After all, Liu Xun came from later generations and knew that such an environment could easily cause plague. Therefore, Liu Xun's requirements for the environment were almost harsh.

Under his persistence, Moling City is now very clean. There are no blood stains on the ground or on the walls, and there is no smell.

Shops on both sides of the street have also reopened.

Although the streets are not busy with traffic, they are still somewhat popular, and everything exudes vitality.

If we say the biggest change, it is definitely the army outside the city.

After continuous battles and consecutive victories, Liu Xun's 30,000-strong army has gradually matured. At a glance, the generals are full of energy and momentum.

In addition to the tens of thousands of Sun Ce's surrendered troops, although they are surrendered troops, these surrendered troops are all experienced in many battles. But now their old boss is attacking them. Although they have bought them with fields, Liu Xun still can't bear to have them fight with each other.

, if such a huge prisoner is not handled properly, it will not only be a burden, but also a source of disaster.

If they did not join the war, Liu Xun had absolute confidence that they would not rebel.

After all, Liu Xun also spent a lot of effort on them. One was to send people to do their ideological work and promised them that they would not be allowed to attack Jiangdong or fight against each other.

The second is to pardon their crimes. Those who do not want to be soldiers can retire but they will not be granted land.

Thirdly, all those who joined Liu Xun's team were given preferential treatment, with military pay raised and land allocated. Through these generous treatments, this huge number of prisoners were reorganized one by one in an instant.

Of course, although Liu Xun believed in them, he was not without any precautions. The first was that he did not give them any armor or weapons for the time being.

Second, most of the generals among them were brought up, and they were called to reuse them. But the real situation was to gather them all together and train them into an elite force. If they are used well in the future,

It is really possible to become a trapped camp, a powerful special force like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The third party sent out the meritorious officers and soldiers in the army. The generals were demoted to the barracks to serve as generals at all levels. From the smallest corps commander to the largest thousand-man general, they were basically all veterans. Since the original generals were transferred elsewhere,

, the rest are just soldiers, and naturally they have no opinions. As a result, they do not have the ability to gather a crowd to make trouble, nor the conditions to make trouble.

At this moment, most of Liu Xun's army was stationed outside the city. To the east of the city, there was a large camp stretching for more than ten miles.

There are many tents in the camp, soldiers are like clouds, and flags are fluttering. It is really powerful.

The people surrendered, the city was tidy, the prisoners were placed, and the army was replenished.

This change only occurred in a matter of months.

On this day, the sun was high in the sky. The gate to the south of Moling City was open, and Gan Ning was waiting outside the city gate facing the red sun.

"Da da da."

Not long after, footsteps were heard. Then, a group of people appeared in Gan Ning's sight.

"Da da da."

After a while, several fast horses jumped out of the formation and rushed towards Gan Ning.

"General Huang." Gan Ning saw one of them from a distance. This person was Huang Xing, so Gan Ning smiled and raised his fist in salute.

"General Gan." Huang Xing laughed loudly, dismounted and returned the courtesy.

Both of them are the most outstanding generals under Liu Xun. They were talents recruited by Liu Xun when his power was in decline, and they admire each other.

"Hahaha."

Old friends were naturally happy to meet each other, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Immediately, the two of them started chatting at the gate of the city. Until Gan Ning noticed the change in time, he smiled and said: "We only care about our own happiness, but I am afraid that my lord is tired of waiting."

Immediately, Gan Ning said to Huang Xing: "Let's go and see the lord."

"Wait a moment while I place the soldiers." Huang Xing said.

Immediately, Huang Xing went down to place his soldiers, and then went to see Liu Xun hand in hand with Gan Ning.

They hadn't seen each other for a while. On the way, Huang Xing couldn't help but feel a little excited.
