It was actually not easy for Sun Ce's army to enter the middle of Shu. Because there were also threats from the Han Dynasty in the north of Sun Ce, such as Lu Su, the general of Han Zhennan in Jiangling.
Under his command were Huang Zhong, Huang Zu, Zhao Lei and other four armies, with 24,000 elite soldiers.
Shouchun had Jushu and a battalion of 6,000 elite soldiers. The two sides combined had 30,000 elite soldiers. If the Han Dynasty started a large-scale war, Jiangdong. Even if Sun Ce could resist, he would probably be extremely exhausted.
But why is Sun Ce so confident this time? [
Because despite the fact that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Du, Liu Zhang and others are all standing still, and the power of the Han Dynasty is rising again, the two sides are waxing and waning. But the problem is that Sun Ce's power is also rising.
He has eliminated the Shanyue tribe in the territory for several years. After that, not only the people in the territory were less threatened, but also after the Shanyue tribe was eliminated, the strong and strong prisoners could become soldiers, and the old and weak could become common people.
With this two-pronged approach, Jiangdong's power is actually increasing every year, but it just depends on the harvest. If it is a big victory, it will increase greatly, and if it is a small victory, it will increase slightly.
What's more, when Liu Feng was conquering Jingzhou, Sun Ce took the opportunity to sneak attack the four counties of Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang in southern Jingzhou, adding dozens of cities and hundreds of thousands of people.
Although the population is still a little smaller, it can increase the number of soldiers and horses to some extent.
Therefore, in these years, Liu Feng worked tirelessly on expeditions to increase the power of the Han Dynasty, and the Jiangdong side was also increasing. Therefore, Sun Ce could withstand the pressure from the Han Dynasty in the north.
That's what Zhuge Jin said, because there were three groups of elite soldiers.
In Chengdu, Zhuge Jin's arrival made Liu Zhang feel like a fish in water. The two sides hit it off immediately and agreed to use Sun Ce's military strength, the dangerous mountains and rivers in Shu, and the wealth to counter the Han Dynasty.
Now that it was agreed upon, the official document was naturally sent out. Soon after, Zhuge Jin's official document arrived at the police station.
Gong'an is a city with a very important status. Historically, Liu Bei was stationed in Gong'an, sitting in Changsha and other four counties, facing Jiangling across the Yangtze River.
After obtaining the public security, Sun Ce has been stationing troops here to confront Lu Su in Jiangling.
And that night, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were already sure of winning this time. The news had not yet reached them, and they had already made preparations.
Therefore, as soon as Zhuge Jin's official document arrives, Sun Ce can send troops.
However, the explanation before leaving is inevitable.
At this moment, in the hall of the Public Security Bureau of Wuhou, Sun Ce summoned his generals, including Zhou Yu, Han Dang, Tai Shici and other generals, as well as Gu Yong and other important ministers.
The atmosphere in the hall was slightly serious.
Sun Ce slowly glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Gu Yong. Sun Ce took a deep breath and said to Gu Yong: "Yuan Tan, Na Lu Su from Jiangbei is so powerful that I won't say more.
You lead the generals to guard the police, remember to be hostile to him, and just go out in the rivers and lakes to defend yourself."
However, Sun Ce personally led Zhou Yu and Han Dang to send troops, leaving Gu Yong behind and leading many generals to resist Lu Su.
"Don't worry, Marquis Wu, I will definitely not send troops rashly." Gu Yong said solemnly after hearing this.[
"Yuantan is stable, Bofu can be at ease." Zhou Yu said with a smile next to him.
"Yes." Sun Ce felt relieved after hearing this and nodded. Then he looked around at the generals and finally said: "I am sending out troops alone. I hope you and others will encourage you."
