Chapter 426 Yuzhang Dilemma
Jia Nian's thoughts quickly reversed. The main task of the heroes in this period is to grab the territory and seize the imperial court's states and counties.And those state shepherds and prefects can only give in, because this is a general trend, an unstoppable general trend.For example, the soldiers of the heroes, the bandits in various places, and the corrupt financial revenue have to make them compromise.

Those with a lower limit will always be challenged by those without a lower limit, and then they will swallow it in one gulp. The horn of troubled times has sounded and it is time for me to join this chase.

It's just that the enemies in front are the proud and powerful Yuan Shu, who is at the head of the pack, and the Sun Group under his command. Can he really beat him?Even if there are Lu Su, Liu Ye, Lu Meng, Gan Ning, and Deng Dang, facing Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Yuan Shu's strong military and financial resources, manpower can be said to be hell-level difficulty.

Perhaps it is the safest strategy to completely separate Yuan Shu and Sun Ce from each other.

This thought flashed in his mind, Jia Nian turned and closed the window and walked towards the desk, then put down the bamboo slips in his hand.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Lu Su walked in.

"Lord"

"The news just came from Jingzhou that Liu Biao refused to form an alliance with us in Yuzhang County, but agreed to non-aggression for three years."

Lu Su said to Jia Nian with complicated emotions, after all, Yuzhang is only a county, and its status is too disparate compared with the whole Jingzhou.With such a result, it can be said that Liu Ye has completed the task. After all, with this agreement as a premise, as long as the lord captures Yangzhou, the alliance will be a matter of course.

Listening to Lu Su's reply, Jia Nian quickly sorted out the news he got today.

Seeing that Jia Nian was silent, Lu Su continued talking.

"Unless the lord promises to serve as Liu Jingzhou's subordinate force and resist the attack from Jiangnan, otherwise it will be futile to blindly force the alliance."

"After all, the status of the two sides is not equal. Even if Yuzhang County is prosperous, it is only one county after all."

Jia Nian nodded slowly to Lu Su, as if he agreed with this sentence.You have to be hardworking yourself in the end, and the rest is foreign aid. It is a joy to ask for it, but there is no pity if you can't ask for it.

And judging from the news from the bamboo slips, Liu Biao and Jiaozhou Shepherd Zhang Jin had a feud, and the two sides were fighting fiercely at the border.It is no wonder that according to historical records, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places did not act in a series of major events.

The aristocratic family is one reason, foreign enemies are another reason, the masters of Jing and Yang states have enmity is also a reason, and Jiaozhou is also a reason.

"Not long ago, I received a message from Jia Ying from Shouchun that Yuan Shu, in his capacity as the shepherd of Yangzhou, summoned the prefects of the six counties of Yangzhou to discuss the matter of attacking Shanyue in three days' time."

"And send envoys to Lujiang, and strictly order Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang County, to go."

"Afterwards, Yuan Shu ordered his general, Sun Ce, to raise five thousand troops to suppress the Lujiang River. According to the exact news from the shadow guard, Yuan Shu had promised Sun Ce the position of prefect of Lujiang when he sent troops."

Lu Su spoke to Jia Nian with a heavy tone.Yuan Shu now has the land of four counties, and the most prosperous Shouchun is in his hands, and Xuzhou is close at hand as an ally, and the elite soldiers of the Sun family are his wings. withstand?Even adding Lujiang is not enough.

"In order to prevent accidents, Jiling Tun Bing Jianye holds more than ten thousand elite soldiers to control the land of Danyang and Wu counties, and the front of the soldiers is directed at Yuzhang."

"Qiao Rui stationed five thousand troops in Kuaiji to help Ji Ling"

When Jia Nian heard the word Qiao Rui, she couldn't help being taken aback, showing an expression of disbelief, and looked a little dumbfounded when she saw the words that suddenly appeared.Qiao Guolao turned into Qiao Rui, Yuan Shu's general Qiao Rui?This must be too frightening.what is this?The future father-in-law will beat his son-in-law.

Seeing the change in Jia Nian's expression, Lu Su called out.

"Lord"

"How did Mr. Qiao Guo become Qiao Rui?"

"Guo Lao is just a respectful title"

Lu Su was talking to Jia Nian, and then he seemed to think of another thing, his eyes flickered and he hesitated to speak.

Jia Nian noticed Lu Su's change and asked him.

"It's okay to have something to say"

"Two years ago, Yuan Shu conquered Qiao Rui in the name of the prefect of Runan. Qiao Rui wanted to bring the mistress and the mistress's sister to Yuan Shu's army. After the prefect learned about it, he urgently intercepted him, which failed. With Yuan Shu entering Yangzhou a month ago, there were rumors that Qiao Rui admired Sun Ce's magnanimity and Zhou Yu's talent, and wanted to betroth the two daughters to him respectively."

"It seems that Qiao Rui has already regarded me as a dead bone on the side of the road"

Jia Nian was a little emotional, but then a burst of anger spread from the bottom of his heart.Although Da Qiao's name is indeed impressive, he also has a marriage contract with her.But after all, this is the convenience given by the Beatles and the accessory brought by the identity.I haven't seen each other for a long time, and the thoughts in my heart have already faded.It's just Qiao Rui's contempt, but it's a great insult.

"Two years ago, after being informed of this by Prefect Lu, we immediately dispatched Jia Wu to bring a hundred of Jia's private soldiers to the Qiao Mansion, and they are now stationed outside the mansion."

"And the Qiao Mansion has moved from Shu County to Wan County, so this situation will not happen again."

Lu Su assured Jia Nian, thinking of the scene that happened two years ago, he was still a little scared.After all, I learned from Jia Wu and others that this marriage contract was the most important thing for the lord's father before his death.If the breach of the contract happens, it will be a great humiliation to the entire Yuzhang County.

Besides, a marriage contract is almost equivalent to a marriage, just because the time for marriage has not yet come.The lord has no wives, concubines, or offspring, and the honor and disgrace of the entire county belong to one person. This matter should be the top priority.If Qiao Rui dared to act recklessly, what was waiting was the wrath of Yuzhang's millions of people and more than ten thousand elite soldiers.

Jia Nian looked at Lu Su's face as if he was facing a formidable enemy, so he could only change the topic.

"The military division handled this matter very properly"

"Nowadays, the war between Jingzhou and Jiaozhou is spreading, Liu Biao is watching from the sidelines, and all the places in the Central Plains are too busy to take care of themselves. Yuan Shu took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the two-pronged strategy to annex Yangzhou. Where will our Yuzhang County go?"

The voice fell in Lu Su's ear, followed by a moment of silence.

Yuan Shu has 7 elite soldiers, all of whom are [-]th-rank tigers and watch the six counties of Yangzhou.

Although Yuzhang County has raised 7 soldiers to rank [-] after more than two years, it is still powerless to face [-] soldiers.Even adding Lu Meng's troops hoarded in the mountains is far from enough, and Shouchun's tens of thousands of elite soldiers are by his side, even if they want to, they dare not move.

This is a crisis, but it is also a balance.Even if this balance is a little fragile, it also shows from another aspect that Yuzhang actually has the strength to fight.

For Yuzhang County, the outcome is not in Lujiang County in the north, but in Jiangnan, so the next strategy is ready to come out.
