Time flew by, a month passed in the blink of an eye, and no war occurred during this period.
All forces are restraining themselves, and the entire land of Liangzhou seems to have got rid of the war and returned to peace!
The Xianbei cavalry that was supposed to appear did not enter Xiaoguan, nor did the 300,000 Qiang-Han coalition troops that were supposed to besiege Yuzhong City.
Jincheng County was extremely quiet, and Han Sui seemed to be enjoying the rare peace.
Liu Zhang stood on the Yuzhong city wall, admiring the mountains in the distance.
"Hey, seeing that the battle of Guandu is about to decide the winner, Han Sui is really able to keep his composure!"
Liu Zhang was very clear about the direction of the Battle of Guandu. It was already October, and he was afraid that the drama of burning Wuchao was about to take place.
I thought that the invasion of Xianbei people could influence the direction of the Battle of Guandu, but the result was completely opposite to what Liu Zhang expected!
"How did the Lord know about the situation of the Battle of Guandu?"
A voice suddenly appeared in his ears. Liu Zhang quickly turned around and saw that it was Feng Chu Pang Tong.
"Shi Yuan!"
"Greetings, my lord!"
Pang Tong, who came from an aristocratic family, was very considerate in etiquette and would bow down to Liu Zhang every time he saw him.
"Shi Yuan doesn't need to be polite!"
Pang Tong walked to Liu Zhang's side and looked at Liu Zhang's gaze as well.
Apart from the endless mountains of earth, there seemed to be nothing worth admiring.
"My lord, do you still think Cao Cao can win?"
Liu Zhang nodded with certainty. He never doubted Cao Cao's ability.
"It is estimated that within this month, Yuan Shao will be defeated!"
Pang Tong glanced at Liu Zhang in surprise, and couldn't help but wonder what his lord's basis was.
"My lord, do you know that Cao Cao has been defeated in consecutive battles recently? Not only has his morale been low, but he has also found it very difficult to supply food and grass!"
"Now various parts of the Central Plains are constantly rebelling against Cao and surrendering to Yuan. Even if Yuan Shao does nothing, Cao Cao will be unable to withstand it..."
Pang Tong also thought hard about the situation in Guandu, but no matter how he deduced it, Cao Cao was defeated in the end.
Unless Yuan Shao himself wants to lose, it would be too difficult for Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao head-on.
Liu Zhang smiled softly, Pang Tong was absolutely right, Yuan Shao could win without doing anything!
But Yuan Shao didn't think so. He insisted on giving random orders and wouldn't give up until the entire front was defeated.
"It doesn't matter, Yuan Jun will be in internal strife!"
Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't say anything more, Pang Tong didn't continue to ask, and quickly changed the topic.
"Lord, news just came that Jiangdong Sun Ce... is dead!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly. He estimated that Sun Ce should have died long ago, but the news was delivered a little slower.
"It's a pity that the little overlord of Jiangdong died young, and the Sun family has no chance of competing for hegemony in the world!"
Looking at the Jiangdong Sun family, it can be said that each generation is not as good as the last!
Sun Jian was killed by random arrows because of his reckless character. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce, who witnessed all this, did not learn the lesson of Sun Jian's death at all, and finally died under random arrows!
The sudden death of Sun Ce also indicated that the Sun family in Jiangdong no longer had any enterprising spirit.
"Haha, my lord's foresight really makes me admire you!"
It was Sun Ce's accurate prediction that forced Pang Tong to wonder how Cao Cao would defeat Yuan Shao in Guandu.
"It's nothing. With Sun Ce's character and behavior, sooner or later he will have such a day! It can only be a matter of time before he is killed."
Pang Tong nodded understandingly, it was indeed exactly as Liu Zhang analyzed.
"My lord, after Sun Ce died, his younger brother Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and the entire Jiangdong has fallen into chaos!"
"Li Shu, the prefect of Lujiang, openly rebelled. Sun Fu, the prefect of Luling, collaborated with Cao Cao within the clan. Sun Hao attempted to seize power. Sun Yi, the prefect of Danyang, and Sun He, an important member of the clan, were killed. Tens of thousands of mountains and rivers in Yuzhang, Kuaiji and other places were also waiting for the opportunity to cause rebellion."
Pang Tong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a trace of sarcasm.
"I'm afraid that if you are not careful, Jiangdong will change its tactics!"
It's not that Pang Tong lacks foresight or despises the Jiangdong Sun family, it's just that to him, Sun Quan is just a child who is not as good as a weakling.
The Jiangdong Sun family is facing this situation now. If you make a wrong step, you will immediately fall into the endless hell and never be reincarnated!
When Sun Quan was mentioned, Liu Zhang couldn't help but frown slightly.
Compared to his elder brother Sun Ce, Sun Quan was naturally inferior.
However, Sun Quan is good at uniting forces and may have shortcomings in pioneering and forging ahead, but there is no problem at all in sticking to Jiangdong.
In history, Cao Cao and Liu Bei invaded several times, but Sun Quan was still able to defeat powerful enemies and retain territory.
"Does Shi Yuan know what Sun Ce said when he died?"
Pang Tong shook his head. This kind of thing is top secret and it is generally difficult to find out.
"Sun Ce's evaluation of Sun Quan is that if you take the people from Jiangdong and decide the opportunity between the two Chens and compete with the world, you are not as good as me; if you appoint talents and talents and do their best to protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as you."
"I can tell you that Sun Ce is very accurate in judging people. Jiangdong is inherited by Sun Quan and assisted by Zhou Gongjin. I am afraid that for at least twenty years, Jiangdong will still be unable to change the ending of his surname Sun!"
At least Liu Zhang knew that he would not be able to take action on Jiangdong for a long time.
For now, he cannot protect himself, and an army of 500,000 people may attack at any time.
There was a faint flash of shock in Pang Tong's eyes, which was both surprise at Sun Quan's ability and shock at the source of Liu Zhang's intelligence.
The news of Sun Ce's death just came today. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang knew what Sun Ce said when he died!
"Zhou Gongjin... is indeed not an ordinary person!"
As the fourth generation of the Zhou family in Shu County, Lujiang, and Zhou Gongjin, who was also known as the "Long Gu of Zhou who has a lot of mistakes", Pang Tong naturally knew it very well.
It can be said that without Zhou Yu, whether Sun Ce could pacify the six counties in Jiangdong would be a big question mark.
"That kid... is quite interesting!"
Liu Zhang couldn't help but laugh out loud. He didn't expect that he would have a chance encounter with Zhou Yu.
The child who scolded Er Yuan at the beginning has now grown into a Confucian general who makes people in Jiangdong fearful!
"Master, do you know Zhou Yu?"
"Yes, when Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi was appointed as the order of Luoyang, I was still the post-general. I met Zhou Yu once at the Luoyang Poetry Festival."
It’s not that Liu Zhang didn’t think twice about Zhou Yu, it’s just that it was extremely difficult to recruit him.
The identity of the fourth generation and the two princes, and the place of birth in Shu County, Lujiang, these two things can make Liu Zhang flinch.
When Liu Zhang met Zhou Yu, Sun Ce didn't know Zhou Yu yet. Therefore, if Liu Zhang set his development goal in Jiangdong, he might actually be able to pay attention to Zhou Yu.
It's a pity that Liu Zhang's goal was not Yangzhou. Choosing Jiangdong was equivalent to tacitly agreeing to rule by dividing the river.
Liu Zhang didn't want to defend himself, he wanted to dominate the world!
In today's era, without war horses, one has almost lost the ability to dominate the world.
"Pity..."
Pang Tong also nodded regretfully. It was indeed a pity to miss such a talent.
