Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 608: Sun Quan wants to fight a war of revenge?
Zhang Sui, Sima Fang and others who were chewing sugarcane looked over.

It’s Lu Xun.

Lu Xun is now working in the government office, mainly assisting Ju Su and Zhang Sui.

When Sima Fang saw Lu Xun coming, he hurriedly said to Zhang Sui: "My lord, you go and do your work! I will take charge here."

Zhang Sui nodded to Sima Fang and walked towards Lu Xun while chewing sugarcane.

The personal soldiers brought the war horses.

Zhang then jumped on his horse.

Lu Xun rushed over and whispered to Zhang Sui, "There is urgent military information coming from Qilin Pavilion, and it seems to be related to Jiangdong."

Zhang Sui nodded, and went straight to the government office with his personal soldiers and Lu Xun.

When we arrived, it was already dark.

After handing the warhorse to his personal guard, Zhang Sui went directly into the government office and found the Qilin Pavilion office.

In the lobby of Qilin Pavilion Office, Chen Deng, Guo Jia and Sima Yi were all there.

Chen Deng was holding a bamboo tube in his hand.

At this moment, Chen Deng, Guo Jia and Sima Yi were whispering about something.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming, the three of them stopped talking and bowed to Zhang Sui together.

Zhang Sui laughed and said, "Sun Quan is attacking us?"

Chen Deng, Guo Jia and Sima Yi looked at each other.

Chen Deng opened the bamboo tube, pulled out the strip of cloth inside, handed it to Zhang Sui and said, "Not yet, but it will be soon."

"I feel like the fight will start at the end of the first month of next year."

"We are about to enter the cold winter, and the northwest wind is blowing along the river, which is not conducive to Jiangdong's fighting on the river."

"Southeasterly winds will begin to appear along the banks of the Yangtze River at the end of the first lunar month next year."

"The Jiangdong navy is already mature."

"When the time comes, it will be a big threat with the wind at its back."

Zhang Sui nodded, took the cloth strip and glanced at it while listening to Chen Deng's introduction.

The strip of cloth was a letter from Zhang Liao, the commander of Guangling, to the government of Yecheng, stating that he had learned a series of intelligence from the Jiangdong spies:

First, as the new ruler of Jiangdong, Sun Quan took one of Cao Cao's daughters as a concubine and formed an alliance with Cao Cao. Cao Cao even sent generals to sneak into Jiangdong secretly to help Sun Quan train the army!

Second, under the banner of the Emperor's appointment of the General Zhennan, Sun Quan reached an agreement with various aristocratic families in Jiangdong, gave concessions to each family, and recruited a large number of children from the aristocratic families to serve as officials in the Jiangdong government.

In addition, Sun Quan apologized on behalf of his deceased brother Sun Ce to the children of the aristocratic families who had been slaughtered in Jiangdong before.

Third, Sun Quan arranged a marriage between his third brother Sun Yi and Xu Lan, the granddaughter of Xu Kun, the head of the Xu family, a prominent family in Wu County.

Xu Kun was the main general who had previously attacked Guangling with Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, encountered Chen Deng, and was defeated by Chen Deng.

Previously, Xu Kun and Sun Quan had a conflict over the defeat at Guangling, and Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with Sun Ce for blaming himself for the defeat at Guangling. Now, Sun Quan took the initiative to seek a marriage, which was considered a disguised submission to the various aristocratic families in Jiangdong.

Fourth, Sun Quan's third brother, Sun Yi, is as fierce as a second Sun Ce. Sun Quan appointed him as the commander of Danyang to replace Taishi Ci. Currently, Sun Quan is gathering troops and gathering in Qu'a. Sun Yi is said to be the vanguard.

5. Sun Quan took the initiative to find Chaisang and asked for peace with the commander Zhou Yu, who accepted.

6. Zhang Liao requested reinforcements.

Currently, Zhang Liao only had 3,000 naval forces and 3,000 elite Danyang soldiers under his command. According to the intelligence sent back to Guangling by the spies, this time Sun Quan had assembled a force of 100,000.

After Zhang Sui read the content on the banner, he smiled and said, "Cao Cao is quite interesting."

"He always makes me feel a little disgusted no matter what."

"He thinks that by sending a few generals to Jiangdong to help train the army, he can fight us on land?"

Guo Jia pinched his sparse beard and said, "The two ones I care about most are these two."

"Numbers four and five."

"If Sun Quan's third brother Sun Yi has the bravery of Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu returns, one is a scholar and the other is a warrior, then their strength will be quite formidable."

"Although Sun Yi was as brave as Sun Ce, he was controlled by Sun Quan."

"From Sun Quan's performance, this person is completely different from Sun Ce, who is violent and ruthless. He knows how to submit and how to scheme."

"The conflicts among the various aristocratic families in Jiangdong were stabilized so quickly."

"Whether those noble families are sincere or not, they can all see that Sun Quan will not act rashly."

"Such a monarch, coupled with invincible generals and resourceful counselors."

"Now there are a large number of soldiers." "If Guangling is invaded this time, Zhang Liao may not be able to defend it."

Zhang Sui nodded.

Although in history Zhang Liao defeated the 100,000-strong navy of Jiangdong with only 800 cavalry.

However, the historical conditions are completely different from the current conditions.

In other words, under the influence of the butterfly effect, both sides have changed.

If you blindly believe in famous historical scenes, something bad is likely to happen.

He didn't dare to gamble.

Zhang Sui looked at Chen Deng and Sima Yi and asked, "What do you two say?"

Chen Deng pondered for a moment and said, "This year, Xuzhou and Yangzhou have just been recuperating, and the effect is good, and the people's response is also good."

"If we mobilize the army on a large scale at this time, the people will mistakenly think that you, my lord, are not keeping your promise."

"My Lord, your credibility in the hearts of the people is very important now."

"Because of the integrity that the Lord has always built, the people are willing to obey the orders. Even the people from the surrounding areas have gathered here."

"Once the lord's integrity is gone, the gain will outweigh the loss."

"Secondly, once a large-scale war really breaks out, it will be difficult to return to the current situation."

"This is exactly what Cao Cao was planning."

"Cao Cao has also been training his army vigorously this year, and it has shown initial results."

"Once we dispatch a large number of troops to support Guangling, Cao Cao might take advantage of the situation and invade."

Guo Jia nodded in agreement.

Chen Deng looked at Zhang Sui and said, "So, if we want to provide support, we can't transfer troops from Hebei."

"You can write a letter to Zhang Liao and tell him that we still insist on defense first and will not waver in the development strategy we have formulated because of anything. It would be best if he can hold on. If not, we can recruit troops from other counties in Xuzhou to cooperate with him."

"Also, since Sun Quan has reconciled with Zhou Yu who is guarding Chaisang County, it is unlikely that we will transfer naval forces from Ruxu Port to provide support."

"Once we send troops from Ruxu Port to support us, Zhou Yu will lead his troops north from Chaisang, land at Ruxu Port, and occupy Lujiang County. That will be a disaster for us."

"You can tell Zhang Liao and let him make his own choice."

"First, do your best to defend against Sun Quan's army with your own strength."

"Second, because of his lack of ability, you, my lord, have no choice but to mobilize a large number of troops from Hebei to provide assistance. By then, if Hebei encounters various problems, there will be nothing you can do about it."

Zhang Sui: “.”

Why does this statement sound like a kind of "moral kidnapping"?

How did he ask Zhang Liao?
Seeing Zhang Sui's expression, Chen Deng guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile, "My Lord, I will write this down. If Zhang Liao has any complaints, it will be my fault."

"Besides, wasn't it to guard against this that Zhao Yun was sent to guard Yangzhou and Zhang Liao to guard Guangling?"

“They knew it at the beginning.”

"Otherwise, given Zhang Liao's battlefield achievements, how could he be qualified to lead troops and guard Guangling alone?"

Guo Jia also said: "My lord, although Yuanlong's words are cruel, they are also true."

Sima Yi said, "According to the intelligence from Qilin Pavilion on Jiangdong, Sun Quan's third brother Sun Yi not only has Sun Ce's courage, but also has his violent temper. He often whips his soldiers and is not friendly to the children of the aristocratic families."

"If Sun Quan hadn't suppressed him, Sun Yi might have been the second Sun Ce."

"I heard that Sun Quan is planning to hold a wedding for Sun Yi and Xu Kun's granddaughter before the third emperor."

"How about we send a group of assassins to lurk over there and see if we can take the opportunity to kill Sun Yi."

"Sun Yi's death will be a huge blow to Sun Quan and Jiangdong."

"Perhaps, Sun Quan's war of revenge will be delayed."

"For us, it would be best if Sun Quan stopped attacking us. This would free us up to focus on dealing with Cao Cao."

"After we take care of Cao Cao, we can take care of other places easily."

Zhang Sui, Chen Deng and Guo Jia all looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi chuckled and said, "If possible, I'd like to take someone to give it a try."

"My Sima family has many assassins."

"But I need someone to assist me."
