Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 96 Which general will help me take Wujun? (Thanks to readers 159...696 for their support~)

After listening to Zhang Zhongjing's words, Chen Deng's already pale face lost some of its color.

He asked in a trembling voice:

"You must...you must not eat anymore?"

Zhang Zhongjing sighed and shook his head:

“There have been many battles in the Yangtze River recently, and countless soldiers’ bodies have sunk into the river, polluting the water.

“The fish in it are bound to be affected.

"It's better if it's cooked, but if you eat it raw, worms will grow in your body over time!"

A hint of despair appeared in Chen Deng's eyes.

Not eating fish sashimi is more painful than killing him!

He wanted to struggle a little bit, and asked hurriedly:

“Is there any way to kill the bugs in the fish sashimi in advance?”

Zhang Zhongjing shook his head slightly:
"Any effective method of killing insects will affect the taste of fish sashimi.

"Rather than saying that you are eating raw fish, it would be better to say that you are actually eating insects..."

After hearing Zhang Zhongjing's description, Chen Deng finally turned pale and said nothing.

Zhang Zhongjing helped Chen Deng up from the ground and patiently comforted him:
“Life always requires choices.

“If you want to live longer in this chaotic world, you must give up some other things.

"It is extremely unwise to sacrifice one's future for a momentary craving."

Chen Deng was silent for a moment, then bowed deeply to Zhang Zhongjing:
"I understand... Thank you, doctor, for saving my life."

He bowed to Lu Bu again, then turned and left in a daze.

When Lu Bu saw the other party's appearance, he quickly asked Xu Shao to follow and watch to prevent the other party from being hit by the carriage on the road.

After the two men left, Lu Bu asked Zhang Zhongjing:
"Do you think he can give up sashimi?"

"Difficult." Zhang Zhongjing shook his head pessimistically:

“Looking at how big his reaction is, after he calms down, the rebound will probably be even stronger.

“If we can control him for a few months and make him completely accustomed to a life without sashimi, maybe he can give up this food.

"But if you don't control it, once you get addicted to fish, it will only get worse!"

Lu Bu fell silent.

If he didn't appreciate Chen Deng's talent, he wouldn't care whether he ate sashimi or not.

But it is not so easy to control the other party.

After thinking for a moment, he could only ask Zhang Zhongjing to write a letter and then stamp it with his seal as the governor of Yangzhou.

He ordered someone to go to Xuzhou to deliver the letter to Chen Deng's father Chen Gui.

Only he, as a father, can legitimately control his son.

If this still doesn't stop Chen Deng from eating sashimi, then it's his fate.

……

In the following period of time, Lu Bu began to reorganize his troops and horses.

As the many previous captives were reorganized into the team.

With the addition of recently recruited soldiers and the support of some aristocratic families, Lu Bu's military force finally reached as many as 100,000!
He summoned his capable men and began to discuss the next target of attack.

In the military camp.

Lu Bu and others gathered around a simple map.

The map shows their current six counties and the territories surrounding them.

Main strategists such as Zhou Yu, Liu Ye and Kuai Liang all stood beside Lu Bu.

As for the military generals, they are mainly responsible for fighting on the battlefield and generally have few opinions on the decision of the direction of the attack.

They will do whatever they are told to do, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for it!

Lu Bu took the lead in starting the conversation:

“I am now the governor of Yangzhou, but the Yangzhou territory I have is only Jiujiang and Lujiang counties.

"Now, in order to secure the post of governor of Yangzhou, I cross the river and attack the territory of Jiangdong.

"Or go north to fight against Cao or attack Xuzhou, or go west to the remaining counties in Jingzhou?" He actually didn't have many choices, but any choice might affect the actions of surrounding forces.

What Lu Bu was most worried about was Cao Cao. Liu Xie was not as big a threat to him as Cao Cao now.

This was the first time that Kuai Liang participated in Lu Bu's military planning.

He looked up at Zhou Yu and Liu Ye who were silent, and did not express his opinion immediately.

At this time, Liu Ye slowly spoke:
"My lord, your territory now spans four states, namely Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou, but you only lead the governorship of Yangzhou, which is illegal.

“If there is no special reason, attacking the territory of other states would be considered as usurpation.

“But it would be reasonable for you to take the remaining four counties of Yangzhou.

“The difficulty lies in the fact that it takes quite some time to cross the river.

"Moreover, when our army attacks Jiangdong, Cao Cao's army may launch a surprise attack on our rear.

"If we can solve these two problems, in my opinion, attacking Danyang County will be the best goal now!"

Lu Bu nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Ye's analysis.

But he still looked at Kuai Liang and Zhou Yu:

"What do Zirou and Gongjin think?"

Hearing Lü Bu's question, Kuai Liang looked at Zhou Yu again, and seeing that the other party did not speak, he continued:

“What Liu Yicao said is absolutely right. If we can capture the remaining four counties of Yangzhou, we can transfer more troops to the north to fight against Cao Cao.

“As for the two questions raised by Liu Yicao.

"Crossing the river is not a difficult task for the Sun family army, which is good at naval warfare.

“My lord, you can have General Sun Ce lead 30,000 troops to Danyang County.

“Danyang County Governor Zhou Xin boasts that he loves his people.

“If we can get General Sun to encourage the battle formation in advance, he can let Zhou Xin understand how powerful our army is.

"Then Zhou Xin will most likely retreat without a fight, and Danyang County will be captured by our army without bloodshed.

"My lord, you can stay in Runan in person to guard against Cao Cao's invasion.

"This way, both problems can be solved."

After Kuai Liang finished speaking, Zhou Yu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke slowly:
“Bofu is a good commander, but Danyang County is far away from Lujiang and Jiujiang, and it is difficult for them to provide food and fodder to each other.

“If we take Danyang, we must also quickly take Wujun!
"With two counties supporting each other, we don't have to worry about fighting alone, and the remaining Kuaiji and Yuzhang will be much easier to take.

“But if you want to achieve such a result, it would be better for the lord to lead the troops in person.

"As for Runan County, you can leave it to me and Bo Fu to guard. It will also prevent Cao Cao from invading!"

After listening to the opinions of the three people, Lu Bu summarized:

“It seems that our attack targets are determined to be Danyang County and Wu County at the same time.

"I will personally lead 20,000 troops to attack Danyang, and try to force Zhou Xin to retreat.

"One more person will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses, and with the assistance of more than 10,000 Guangling soldiers led by Zhang Chao, we will march from Guangling to Wujun!"

As he spoke, Lu Bu glanced at the top generals present and asked with a smile:

"Which general is willing to take Wujun for me?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Liao was the first to step forward:

"My lord, I will finally go there!"

Seeing Zhang Liao's confident look, Lu Bu shook his head:

“Although Wenyuan is brave in land battles, he is still slightly inferior in naval battles.

"You will accompany Bofu to Runan to guard it."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao, who was Lu Bu's confidant, immediately understood Lu Bu's intention and immediately clasped his fists in agreement.

Although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have truly surrendered.

But what if Cao Cao is treacherous and uses some tricks to alienate the relationship between Sun Ce and his lord?

If he is present, he can also play a good stabilizing role.

As Zhang Liao's request for battle was rejected, a bell suddenly sounded in the corner.

I saw a burly man stand up and clasp his fists:
"My lord, I am willing to go! If I cannot take Wujun, please chop off my head!"
