Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1664 Wu Jun's deployment of troops! ([-]-character chapter)

On the Yuzhou battlefield, the atmosphere was already tense. The strength of the Wei army was increasing, and the main force continued to move south from Guandu and Xudu.

The two main armies of the Ming army, Jingping and Violent Bear, are also constantly advancing to the front line, pressing close to the barracks of the Wei army.

The battlefield confrontation between the two sides is less than fifty miles away.

A war could break out at any time.

In the Jiangdong territory, as one of the three major vassals of the Han court, the main force of the Wu army also began to mobilize again and again. Going to war.

Sun Ce took the best building boat in Jiangdong from Qingzhou Haiyan Road, and entered Jianyedu directly from the mouth of the Yangtze River. It didn't take too long to return to Jiangdong.

It has been a while since he returned to Jianye. During this time, he was very low-key and didn't make much action, just secretly mobilizing troops.

In addition to mobilizing the main force, some main generals were also summoned back.

Then it is to be patient and deal with some government affairs that have accumulated before.

As the monarch of Great Wu, Sun Ce only needs to control the development of the state of Wu. In addition to government affairs, the state of Wu still has many capable ministers. Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Wu Jing, Gu Yong, and Lu Fan are all excellent Famous officials.

With them, this is why Sun Ce dared to leave Jiangdong, went north to Xudu, and even participated in the battle of Guandu and the battle to carve up Hebei.

However, there are also some things that the ministers can't handle, and he, the king, must handle them personally. Many small things, if he is not around, no one will pay attention to them, and if they add up, they will easily affect the entire Wu State.

For example, the matter of Sun Quan.

As a royal family, Sun Quan is the younger brother of his Sun Ce. Apart from him, Sun Ce, there is really no one in Wu who can control Sun Quan.

During his absence from Jianyedu and Wu State, he did cause some turmoil in the hearts of the people. In Wu State, many people have already begun to consider the way out.

Many ministers before and after, and even soldiers in the army were running towards Sun Quan indistinctly.

After Sun Ce, Sun Quan is the most qualified person to become the King of Wu. Once something happens to Sun Ce, the whole Wu Kingdom will definitely favor Sun Quan as the king.

Sun Ce's personality belongs to the kind of person who is more arrogant, so he won't be too concerned about his younger brother fighting for power with himself, but the current world situation does not allow any turmoil in Wu.

Wu Guo, at this time, cannot have two voices, so dealing with Sun Quan in this way has become the most troublesome thing for him now.

Even if he doesn't want to, he has to deal with it.

..............................

Wu Palace.

This palace city has been re-repaired, and it is more glorious than the previous palace, but the traces left by the war are still indelible.

On top of the spacious hall, with his hands on his back, Sun Ce's tall body stood in front of a screen, with sharp eyes, staring at a huge map.

Standing behind him is Zhou Yu.

Jiangdong Shuangbi, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are peerless partners. With Sun Ce's bravery, there will be Zhou Yu's wisdom. With their joint efforts, the Wu Kingdom is now powerful.

"Gong Jin, Gu formed an alliance with Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande this time, but he doesn't have much confidence in his heart!" Sun Ce sighed a little.

"My lord, although the Ming army is strong, it is not invincible!"

Zhou Yu remonstrated, his voice was very soft, but firm.

"On the battlefield, you are not afraid of loneliness, but..." Sun Ce turned his head, looked at Zhou Yu, and said quietly: "Wu Guo is not as good as the Ming court!"

"But now the Ming court is not going to fight against our Wu country, but the entire Han court!" Zhou Yu said: "The Ming army is very strong, but its military strength is far behind ours. If we really fight, our head-on will be very difficult. high!"

"You really think so?"

Sun Ce squinted his eyes, which flickered.

"Ha ha!"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly.

He could only be deceiving himself.

"To fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled!" Sun Ce said suddenly.

"Your Majesty is talking about Sun Zhongmou?"

Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly moved, he pondered for a while, and asked: "Is the king intending to draw his sword against those four big clans in Jiangdong?"

"Gu hasn't expanded to this extent yet!" Sun Ce shook his head.

"That's Zhongmou!"

Zhou Yu dared to call Sun Quan by his name directly because of his closeness to the Sun family. If it were someone else, it would be contempt for the Wu royal family, but it is more of a title for being close to people when it is applied to him.

"Gongjin, during this time, Zhongmou has developed very well in the state of Wu. Whether it is in the court or in the army, he seems to be involved in something. What do you think?"

Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu very directly without beating around the bush.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhou Yu thought for a while, and after bowing his hands and saluting, he responded, "You go north in person. Although you have some confidence that you can escape unscathed, most people in Jiangdong don't think you can come back to Jiangdong alive, so they want to find some people in advance. It is natural to rely on him, but Zhongmou is indeed a bit out of line in this respect, which violates his status as a second prince, and these people may not just rely on him, there seem to be many people secretly instigating and using him, hoping that he can Splitting the court of the Wu Kingdom, even those aristocratic families secretly supported him to fight against the power of the king. They dared not offend the king, but many of the policies of the king were too strong, which made them feel that they violated the interests of the family, so they supported him. Zhongmou, even supporting Zhongmou to the top, let Zhongmou become a puppet in their hands, in order to keep the power in the world, this should be their best choice!"

Sun Ce is a very tough person, but the tougher he is, the more dissatisfaction will be caused by the entire court and those aristocratic families.

It can be said that Sun Jian took down the Jiangdong world back then, it can be said to be a bloody battle, and he won many people. Soochow's country is not very stable, but there is no way to overthrow it easily.

So for these Jiangdong gentry who think they are living in dire straits, they hope to change their lord, which may allow them to regain control of the court.

"Gu is not afraid of being talented, but he is afraid that he will not be successful!" Sun Ce sighed, and said softly: "Empty has ambitions, but can only be reduced to a puppet!"

"It won't!"

Zhou Yu shook his head when he heard the words, and then said with a smile: "Zhongmou is actually more powerful than Zihong you and I imagined, and even calmer. It's not so easy for these people to control him, and he has it too." What he thinks, while those aristocratic families are using him, why is he not using these aristocratic families!"

After speaking, he paused, and added: "However, Zhongmou's ambition cannot be underestimated!"

"Right!"

Listening to Zhou Yu's evaluation, Sun Ce finally nodded and had to admit it, saying: "He has been a person with a treacherous mind since he was a child. The best choice, as for ambition, ambition is not a bad thing, Gu also has ambitions, Gu's ambition hopes to surpass the achievements of the father, not limited to a corner of Jiangdong, and let Wu rule the world!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help pinching his forehead, sighed and said, "His ambition is actually a good thing for Gu, but the current state of Wu cannot tolerate his ambition!"

"So the king's choice is actually the best choice. Don't be too entangled. Let him go to Qingzhou. If he has ambition and ability, he will be able to break through the world in Qingzhou!"

Zhou Yu said softly: "Besides, he left Jiangdong, which is equivalent to taking the bottom line, and can also interrupt some people's thoughts. Nowadays, many people are hoping that Zhongmou can compete with the king, so no matter what Zhongmou's thoughts are, in the end they will fight against the king. With the fuel of the flames, it is inevitable that we will end up in a situation where brothers can kill each other!"

"It's not a big problem to send him to Qingzhou. For the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of the orphan and his brotherhood, this may be the best choice, but the queen's side..."

Thinking of his mother, Sun Ce couldn't help feeling a little headache.

He and Sun Quan are both men, and men should take care of their own affairs. No matter how they develop in the future, it's just a competition.

But it involves relatives and affection, and it just keeps cutting and making things messy.

He was a pure and filial person, and Sun Quan was very much loved by his mother. If he sent Sun Quan to him, he might provoke his mother's resentment, which he didn't want.

"My lord, to untie the bell, one must tie it!"

Zhou Yu said softly.

"What do you mean?"

"You issue the decree, of course it is a distribution, but if it is Zhongmou asking for a fight, then it is another matter!"

"You mean to let Zhongmou take the initiative?"

Sun Ce understood, he gritted his teeth, but hesitated: "Zhong Mou may not be able to do it, Gu is assigning him, and exiling him will definitely arouse his resentment. At this time, he is still willing to be brothers with Gu!"

"He will!"

Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter, leave it to the minister, and I will communicate with Zhongmou. I believe that Zhongmou understands righteousness!"

"That!"

Although Sun Ce hesitated, he finally nodded and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you. Talk about it carefully and don't put too much pressure on him. Qingzhou may not be a good place. If he can break out of the world, Allow him to stand on his own!"

Qingzhou is suspended outside the Jiangdong. If Sun Quan can gain a foothold in Qingzhou, even if he goes out, Sun Ce will not care. In this troubled world, Wu's ambition can only be limited by the situation, and he can stabilize this mu Three points of land are already difficult, so dominating the country is a bit forced.

"Your Majesty, even if Zhongmou goes to Qingzhou, the territory of Wu Kingdom may not be peaceful!" Zhou Yu reminded.

"It can't be Taiping, just kill a Taiping!"

Sun Ce's voice was full of hostility, and his cold voice was like thunder: "Although Gu is not the father, it is not their choice. If they dare to mess around, Gu will dare to confiscate their family and exterminate their clan!"

The aristocratic families in Jiangdong are very powerful, headed by the four great aristocratic families, the power of the gentry is like a tide, once it erupts, it can sweep the kingdom.

Sun Ce's tolerance for them has also become less and less, and he has been affected by some new policies of the Ming court, and has a different killing intent towards these aristocratic families.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a stern arc: "Mu Longtu dared to kill these family members and blood flow into rivers at the beginning of his family, and now he is step by step to drive out these family members, gentry and powerful families, don't you dare !"

With the military power in his hands, although he is afraid of the power of these aristocratic families, he is not afraid. In order to stabilize Jiangdong, he can tolerate a little, but it does not mean that he can tolerate these people's advances unconditionally.

It really pissed him off, he didn't mind killing people.

"Your Majesty, endure if you can!" Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Jiangdong territory is different from the Ming court. Mujing is a murderer, and he is the world who was killed!"

"Who didn't come out of the world!" Sun Ce said angrily.

"Different!"

Zhou Yu said softly: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Wu Kingdom, it was still relying on the support of these aristocratic families and gentry to allow the late king to establish the country in Jiangdong, but Mu Jing, he directly killed every step. They directly slaughtered the Yuan family, the number one family in the world, the Mu family, who came from a poor family and had a background of thieves, would kill and exterminate the family at every turn. If it were another person, it would be difficult to make a big deal. After all, looking at the world, the gentry are the mainstream and hold the power in the world Probably, but Mu Jing has become powerful. He killed the gentry and became afraid. Although he may not have killed many people, his murderousness is enough to make the gentry and thousands of aristocratic families all over the world panic. He can't do it, so he is qualified to suppress the Sifang clan, but whether it is King Wei, King Yan, or our Jiangdong, the dependence on the gentry is still very strong!"

Sun Ce heard the words, although he was still not angry, but he was a little silent. Zhou Yu was right. Mu Jing’s reputation for killing nobles has become a reputation since the Yuan family, the number one family in the world who slaughtered four generations and three princes. So He doesn't need to worry about the so-called aristocrats in doing things.

Relatively speaking, those aristocratic families also have a natural sense of fear towards Mu Jing, so even if they don't want to take refuge, they have to submit.

"Gu just feels a little aggrieved!"

Sun Ce said quietly.

"The state of Wu is not the court of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhou Yu said softly: "We can only endure, even if we don't want to, we have to reuse them. If the court is unstable, it will be self-destruction. If the place is uneven, if there are taxes Support the army to fight!"

"Gongjin, don't worry, although Gu is unwilling, he will not dig his own grave at this time!"

Sun Ce calmed down and said, "Jiangdong's affairs should be handed over to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao has a degree and can balance one or two. I don't bother to face them, so I can't help but do something to them!"

At this time, Jiangdong must be as stable as a mountain, so even if he is not angry with these aristocratic families, he must hold back this breath.

In the past, he wouldn't bear it, he would kill him directly, because Jiangdong still has Sun Jian to suppress the world, but now, he is the king, and he can't do things as casually as before.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhou Yu smiled and boasted.

"Gu is thinking about these bad things now!"

Sun Ce waved his hand, and then his eyes fell on the huge map. His eyes were dark and shining, and his thoughts were fluctuating: "The spies have returned with information. The main force of the Ming army may be moving. They must be going to war. Yes, the time for the army to suppress the border will not be very short, what I am worried about is, who is their target?"

Although the three major princes of the Han court have signed an alliance to advance and retreat together and jointly defend against the enemy, it is still unknown who will face the main force of the Ming army.

No one is willing to face the main force of the Ming army, which is known as the most powerful army in the world, but if they meet, they can only fight to the death.

At this point, if you take a step back, you will be in an abyss, and it will even lead to the direct destruction of the country and species.

"I have no idea about this!"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "The main force of the Ming army is still being mobilized. No one can say which battlefield it will appear on. We are suppressing the Ming Realm from three sides, but the Ming Realm does not necessarily need to defend the enemy from three sides. They only need to defend the enemy from three sides." Two sides, you can choose one side to attack the main force, the Ming army is very strong, and what they are best at is not defense, but offense, they will naturally not be beaten, and it is very possible to take the initiative to attack!"

"Is there any news in the East China Sea?"

Sun Ce paced back and forth, asking.

"He Qi has sent back some news. At present, it is still stable. The main force of the Ming army's navy is still wandering in the South China Sea. They have no intention of crossing the border. Moreover, they have rarely been seen recently!"

Zhou Yu said with a bitter face: "Actually, according to some news sent back by He Qi in the past year, there are not a few naval divisions stationed in the South China Sea by the Ming army, and where are most of the main force. But the strange thing is, He didn't show an attack on the East China Sea, but kept going to the open sea!"

"Outer sea?"

Sun Ce sneered: "What's the use of those barren lands?"

"Hard to say!"

Zhou Yu said: "Maybe there are many benefits that we can't think of, and we are not sure. Even if we put aside the benefits, this also reflects one point, that is, the main warships of the Ming army may have far surpassed our warships in Jiangdong. In the past year, Jiangdong Shipyard has launched three large ships, added more than [-] battleships, and more than [-] warships, and the combat power has increased a lot, but I believe that the gap with the Ming Army Navy has been widened!"

"Did we pull them away, or..."

"They pulled us away!" Zhou Yu said expressionlessly.

Sun Ce wanted to refute, but he couldn't say those self-deceiving words. When the navy of the Ming army attacked Jianyedu by surprise, the warships showed a superior navigation ability than the navy of Jiangdong. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the navy of Jiangdong to pursue Under, escape.

"That's just the sea!"

Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "On the Neihe River, our Jiangdong navy is still number one in the world. Order the warships of all the ministries to gather on Chaisang as soon as possible. Once the battle starts, I will go to the front line of Chaisang in person!"

This is the only news he can think of to boost the morale of the army.

"All other naval forces, including Jianyedu's navy, can be mobilized, but I think He Qi's navy will stay in the East China Sea for the time being!"

Zhou Yu reminded: "We have suffered a loss once, and there cannot be a second time!"

"good!"

Sun Ce thought about it for a while, and he agreed. He was also afraid that the Ming army would surprise Jiangdong from the South China Sea and start the second battle of Jianyedu, which would really embarrass the whole world.

"Jiujiang?" Sun Ce pondered for a while and said, "How do you think we should deal with it!"

"Jiujiang goes north, and Runan is the only one. Runan must be the battlefield, and Yuzhou will also fight. Moreover, the mobilization of the Wei army's troops in Xuzhou also makes it impossible for the Wu army in Shouchun to avoid it. After all, we have signed an alliance of offensive and defensive integration. Wei Jun please aid, we must fight!"

Zhou Yu said.

"That way, let Jiujiang's troops go from Shouchun to the north and go straight to the border!" Sun Ce said: "Although I hope that Mulongtu will not choose our Jiangdong as the main battlefield, if such a thing really happens, we have to Be prepared, while asking for help, you must fight bloody to the end!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yu nodded, his eyes were firm, and his fighting spirit gradually rose.
