The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

On the second day, Sun Quan once again convened civil and military officials to discuss where Jiangdong should go.Zhou Yu's joining gave the generals a lot of confidence.Like yesterday, no one spoke at first.Sun Quan glanced at everyone: "Cao Jun's soldiers are pressing down on the situation, and Jiangdong is in danger. Everyone expressed their thoughts yesterday, and I stayed up all night. I thought about it for a long time. This Jiangdong was created by my father and brother's hard work over the past ten years. It must not be destroyed by me, so...!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhao hurriedly said, "Think twice, my lord! Cao's army is powerful, and I can't fight alone in Jiangdong. It is difficult to resist Cao Cao only by relying on the danger of the Yangtze River. If Cao's army hits Jiangdong, the people in these dozens of counties will be slaughtered!"

A group of civil servants all stood up and echoed, and Sun Quan couldn't continue with what he said.Huang Gai was furious: "You rotten Confucianism can't make a big deal! Jiangdong has enjoyed peace in recent years. The arrival of Cao Jun is the biggest threat to Jiangdong. The people should join the Lord in fighting against the enemy and block Cao Jun to the north of the Yangtze River!"

Yu Fan shook his head slightly: "But our army is small, if the generals can guarantee victory in this battle, we will naturally have nothing to say!"

"You!" Huang Gai wanted to refute, but Cheng Pu gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

The civil servants cried for a while, and the whole hall was filled with the cries of the civil servants, and the noisy people felt very uncomfortable.

"Enough!" Sun Quan shouted suddenly, and slapped the table hard.The civil servants were taken aback and quickly shut up.Sun Quan took a few deep breaths, turned his face to look at Zhou Yu and said, "Brother Zhong, you come from Chaisang, you must know Cao Jun's lies and truth, tell me, are we fighting or making peace?"

"Cough!" Zhou Yu coughed lightly, got up slowly, and thought for a while: "Cao Cao's all-out army this time was originally divided into three groups, one stationed in Changshe, one stationed in Pingchun, and one stationed in Pingchun. Hefei, the purpose is to attack from three sides, cut off our alliance with Long Fei with Pingchun's soldiers, and then attack from three sides to gather us Jiangdong and Jingzhou, at worst, they can entangle Long Fei and deal with us first!"

Lu Su asked: "I don't know how many soldiers Cao Cao has? If we join forces with Jingzhou, the number of troops will not be less than 50!"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "Since Cao Cao raised his army, he first took tens of thousands of soldiers from Yanzhou. Later, he attacked Qingzhou to destroy the Yellow Turban Army and formed Qingzhou soldiers. Tao Qian from Xuzhou, Yuan Shu from Yangzhou, Liu Pi from Yuzhou and others They were defeated by Cao Cao one after another, and Cao Jun won a lot of troops. Later, Yuan Shao sent troops to attack. With the help of Long Fei, he defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu. Huan's army, gather Yuan Shao's remnant soldiers, so Cao Cao's soldiers will not be less than 80!"

"Ah!" Whether it was civil servants or generals, they were all taken aback when they heard this number. An army of 80 attacked Jiangdong, and each person could step on a large area with one foot.

Before everyone had any questions, Zhou Yu immediately went on to say: "Although Cao's army is numerous, it is a soldier who has fought for a long time. Moreover, the newly acquired soldiers in Hebei may not necessarily submit. These are all conditions that can be exploited, although our army is small, all of them are warriors, and if we don’t go to battle for a long time, everyone is alive and well, and naturally we will fight with one against ten, not to mention that we are not fighting alone!"

"We still have reinforcements?" Bulu asked hastily.

Zhou Yu nodded: "General Jingzhou Long has sent someone here, please let Mr. Jiang Gan come in, my lord!"

With a calm expression on his face, Jiang Gan walked slowly into the hall.Jiangdong's meeting hall is indeed luxurious, while Nuo's main hall is only supported by three or two pillars, surrounded by butter lamps, and the walls are decorated with gold leaf.Civil and military officials sat on the left and right.Facing the gate is Sun Quan.On the large book case, Sun Quan is high above the ground, solemn and majestic.On Sun Quan's left and right sides, Zhou Yu was on the left and Zhang Zhao was on the right, sitting under Sun Quan's high platform.

After Jiang Gan saluted, he hadn't spoken yet.Among the civil officials on the left, Zhugejin was the first to attack: "Long Fei really has such kindness and is willing to help Jiangdong out of trouble. I don't know what price we have to pay?"

Jiang Gan looked at him and clasped his fist at Sun Quan: "This time Jingzhou dispatched troops only for the kindness of the alliance of princes, without any strings attached. In order to show sincerity, my lord is willing to donate [-] dans of grain and grass to subsidize Jiangdong sergeants!"

"What a great handwriting! Heh!" Yu Fan sneered and said, "What kind of ability does Long Fei have to call himself the leader of the alliance? He is the biggest traitor in the world! Just because he is a person of unknown origin, he dares to do Dong Zhuo first and then become king himself." The Son of Heaven, such rebellious and immoral people are not worthy to join us!"

Jiang Gan smiled slightly: "My lord's ancestral home is Chang'an. He was a clansman of Long Bogao, the prefect of Lingling during the Jianwu period. He was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. How can you say that there is no origin? The chaos of Dong Zhuo and the turmoil in the world. Yuan Shao led the eighteen princes You I can't break the siege of Your Majesty, but my lord killed Dong Zhuoping and rescued His Majesty from Chang'an by only one person. Such a loyal and righteous person is rare in the world. My lord is loyal to the Han Dynasty and has no second thoughts. But those people who claim to be consistent and end up voting for Wang Lang first, then the Sun family, how dare such an unfaithful person talk about world affairs?"

"You!" Yu Fan was hit by Jiang Gan's words, and it was difficult to refute for a while.Lu Ji chuckled: "Mr. Jiang's eloquence is rare in the world, but the people of Long Fei's power suddenly help me Jiang Dong, so they don't have other intentions?"

"Humph!" Jiang Gan snorted coldly: "A person who steals oranges dares to call others powerful? The world is so big that only the virtuous live there, and the virtuous and incompetent people may not have the capital even if they want power! ridicule!"

Lu Ji was speechless, and his chest was filled with oppression.Xue Zongdao: "Cao Cao has millions of soldiers, your Jingzhou and Jiangdong combined are only tens of thousands of soldiers. How can we defend against the enemy? I advise you to go back and persuade Long Fei to surrender as soon as possible. Maybe Cao Cao will spare him for his son-in-law's sake."

Jiang Gan shook his head: "Although my lord is not talented, he is an important minister of the Han Dynasty. His Majesty has appointed the Great General of Zhennan, and the soldiers are not afraid to fight. Jingzhou is the same as the enemy. On the other hand, everyone in Jiangdong wants to retreat. What can Cao Cao's million soldiers do?" Fear? With Yuan Shao and his mobs fighting for a long time, even without Jiangdong's help, we in Jingzhou can still defeat them!"

"So, General Long wanted to save us Jiangdong out of good intentions?" Xue Zong continued to ask.

"Yes!" Jiang Gan nodded: "My lord is grateful for the loyalty of the old general Sun Jian to the country, and can't bear to see his hard-earned country ruined in the hands of his children and grandchildren, so he came to help. Since everyone in Jiangdong has decided to surrender, I will go back. Meet the lord, and come to share a piece of the action!"

After Jiang Gan finished speaking, he turned and left.Sun Quan hurriedly called out: "Mr. Jiang wait a moment, listen to what you said, General Long has his own strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Jiang Gan shook his head: "A large army must have the belief that it will win. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. All of you here are generals who lead troops. May I ask you generals, who can be sure that they will win when they are fighting? General Sun wants to ask what is wrong. The enemy's strategy, I can tell the generals to come and cover them with water and soil, this is the strategy to defeat the enemy!"

"Well said!" Huang Gai was the first general to speak, and he glanced at the civil servants opposite him: "Look at you, and look at him, Long Fei may not be Cao Cao's opponent, but he is united, what about you? Cao Jun If we fail before we arrive, we Jiangdong people will really lose face!"

In a word, the faces of the civil servants on the opposite side were all red.Huang Gai was a veteran of the Sun family, and when he said such words, everyone did not dare to refute, and they all lowered their heads.Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhou Yu, stood up abruptly, and glanced at everyone: "Everyone, I have made up my mind to join forces with General Long to fight against Cao Cao. Do you have any comments?"

No one spoke.Sun Quan nodded: "In that case, start preparing for the battle from today, put aside everything else, and just fight for this!" Sun Quan drew out his sword, slashed at the case, and cut the case in half.Returning the sword into the sheath, he said: "From now on, if there is another case of resignation, you will wait for orders!"

Everyone hurriedly got up again.Sun Quan said: "Order Zhou Yu to be the governor, prime minister for the Jiangdong war, Cheng Pu as the deputy governor, stay in Moling, and Lu Su as the supervising army, send [-] troops to Moling, and rush to Chaisang to join forces with General Long to fight against Cao Cao!" Then, he took off the sword at his waist and handed it to Zhou Yu with both hands.Zhou Yu hurriedly knelt down and took it.Sun Quan nodded: "Brother Zhong, please worry about it. If we lose, I will lead the army to go there immediately, and I will fight Cao Cao to the death."

Zhou Yu took the lead, followed by Cheng Pu and Lu Su. The generals cupped their fists and knelt in front of Sun Quan.Zhou Yu said: "Don't worry, my lord, Zhou Yu is so heartbroken that he will defend every inch of Jiangdong to the death!"

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao: "Order Zhang Zhao as the grain supervisor, with Yu Fan and Bu Lu as assistants, and there must be no mistakes in allocating grain, grass, and military equipment!"

Zhang Zhao quickly agreed, looking a little helpless.Sun Quan put on his usual tone and took Zhang Zhao's hand: "Sir, you have a great responsibility, and you need to take care of it. The victory or defeat in this battle is entirely up to you!" After saying that, he picked up the big seal that had fallen under the case, and handed it to Zhang Zhao: "I rely on Mr. Jiangdong."

Jiang Gan took the news back to Jingzhou to meet Long Fei and told about Jiangdong.Long Fei shook his head and said with a smile: "This Sun Quan really has a skill, he can gather the hearts of the entire Jiangdong with just a few words, that's good, since Jiangdong is willing to fight, it can be considered that our hard work is not in vain!"

Jia Xu frowned: "My lord, do you really want to lead an army to Jiangxia? Cao Jun pretended to attack Jiangdong with great fanfare. In fact, the number of troops stationed at Changsha increased instead of decreasing. Just after receiving the news, Cao Jun dispatched another [-] soldiers." Soldiers and horses came to Changsha, led by Xia Houyuan himself, and Liu Yan also strengthened the defense of the Yingchuan area, if our army goes south, we may be caught by Cao Cao's tricks!"

Xu Shu nodded: "Yes! Once the army leaves, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to Wancheng. There is no room for loss here. The emperor is at Jiaxia, just in case..."

Long Fei smiled and said: "There is nothing contingency, I have countermeasures to deal with them, you don't have to worry, just focus on Jiang Xia!"
