three kings

Chapter 205
Nanjun government office, meeting hall.

On this day, Sun Can gathered 32 new civil and military generals from Jingzhou to gather together, and arranged a long banquet to entertain them.

The celebration lasted all day and lasted until night.

The next day, early morning.

Sun Can gathered the people together again and said to them: "I, Sun Can, dare not call myself a hero, but everyone knows that I will do what I say, and so far Sun has never broken his promise once.

Since everyone trusts Sun, they are willing to join Sun Jiajun's camp.

I assure you today that no matter who you are, you must do your own work with all your heart.So Sun will definitely not treat him badly.

Of course, if someone did something to offend Sun, then Sun would not be polite to him.After all, there is no rule without rules. If you want to become the first prince and reorganize the great man, you must rely on the unity of all of us to complete it. "

Everyone said yes.

Sun Can nodded with a smile, and said, "Everyone who understands the truth like this can save me a lot of energy. I have read the information, but who is Yiji Lingshi?"

A scribe with a sallow complexion and two beards stepped forward and said, "I'm here!"

Sun Can asked lightly: "You are close friends with Liu Du, the prefect of Jiangling, can I trouble you to write a letter to Liu Du, who is the prefect of Jiangling County, to persuade him to surrender?"

Yi Ji replied: "Liu Du has a good face, if I persuade you personally, I think the chance of success is relatively high."

Sun Can thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, Li Tong, you can follow him with [-] troops! When you surrender Jiangling County, don't plant our army's flag immediately, and take the nearby army first. Qili and the two cities of eastern Hunan, to prevent Wuling and Changsha from sending troops to make trouble."

He turned his head and said to Zhang Fei, "Yide, follow Mr. Kuai Liang to capture Wuling County."

After a pause, he said, "Mr. Kuai Yue, you and Jiang Xia Pang Ji once went to Xiangyang alone to persuade Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to surrender, so what is the relationship?"

"My lord, take it easy, I'm sure you'll have a good tongue, and persuade him to surrender." Kuai Yue understood Sun Can's meaning and said very confidently.

"Zilong, you lead an army of [-] horses and General Wenpin to attack Changsha together. As for Guiyang, I don't care about it for the time being. Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, is an extremely greedy generation. As long as the three counties of Lingling, Jiangxia, and Wuling fall, Zhao Fan will definitely not fight. Also, once you take the city, you should immediately appease the troops in the city and show them that as long as you serve my Sun family wholeheartedly and do things well, I, Sun Can, will never treat them badly, and I will promote them Those who are capable will be generals." Sun Can issued the order to capture the five counties of Jingzhou with a smile.

Under Sun Can's strategy, Jiangling and Jiangxia counties surrendered without a fight. Changsha and Wuling counties were also captured by Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei. It was suppressed and occupied by the army led by Sun Can.

Xun Yu was overjoyed when he got the news, and he, who was always calm, couldn't help laughing loudly in the conference hall. He had obtained the whole territory of Jingzhou, which meant that he, who had a long-term vision, knew better than anyone else.

Jingzhou is the largest state in the Han Dynasty. Since ancient times, Jingzhou has been a place where merchants gather.As early as the Western Han Dynasty, Jingzhou was one of the top ten commercial cities in the country. There are outstanding people and rich palaces. It has been known as a state of culture and a land of fish and rice since ancient times.

There are criss-crossing rivers and dense lakes in the territory.There are nearly 30 rivers in the city, all of which belong to the Yangtze River system, mainly including the main stream of the Yangtze River and its tributaries, Songzi River, Hudu River, Ouchi River, and Diaoxian River.There are many lakes here, and there are more than [-] lakes of more than [-] mu in the whole territory, and thousands of rivers and rivers. The land is not fertile.

Here is not only fertile, but also has a unique strategic significance - the Dabie Mountains.

The Dabie Mountains, dominating the Central Plains, with a pillar supporting the sky, a cluster of passes, and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, have been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.There is a saying that "whoever wins the Dabie Mountains wins the Central Plains, and whoever wins the Central Plains wins the world".The mountains on the watershed are extremely dangerous. You can step on the three states with one foot, and you can see the Jianghuai River with both eyes. The mountains are high and the land is wide.

In this land of the Central Plains, there have been countless wars that have lasted through the ages.Such as the battle of Huangdi Chiyou and Zhuolu, King Wu's defeat of Zhou, Zhou Gongying Luo, Spring and Autumn feudal lords contending for hegemony, Warring States heroes vying for the throne, Chu and Han contending for hegemony, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiuxing Han and later Cao Wei's reign of the Central Plains, Wagang riots in the late Sui Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin and Chenqiao mutiny , Yue Fei's fierce battle against the Jin Dynasty, Li Zicheng's bloody battle in the Central Plains, Liu Deng's army advancing into the Central Plains, etc.

It can be seen from the times that the strategic location of this place is important.

However, Sun Canjun is sitting on the Jianghuai River and has already owned half of the Dabie Mountains. Now he has the whole of Jingzhou and the other half of the mountains in his hands. He already has enough strategic capital to go north to the Central Plains, as long as the time is right.For the Central Plains, Sun Can, who sits on the Dabie Mountains, definitely has an advantage over others.

If it is said that Huainan is development, then the acquisition of Jingzhou at this moment is a substantial leap.

Xun Yu happily crossed the meeting hall. All the officials around him looked at Xun Yu in surprise, and couldn't help thinking: "Mr. Wen Ruo, what's the matter? He laughed again, and walked again. Nothing big happened."

Gu Yong, Xun Yu's most capable deputy, stepped forward and whispered, "Wen Ruo, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the lord?"

Xun Yu was so enlightened, he slapped his head suddenly, and said, "Look at my brain, I'm so happy and confused. I even forgot to announce the good news for the world."

He glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "There is a good news from the front. My lord has successfully seized the entire territory of Jingzhou. We have made initial progress in our plan to occupy the Central Plains. It is really worthy of congratulations."

Everyone in His Highness was overjoyed. Although most of them didn't know the benefits behind it, the victory was indeed worthy of everyone's congratulations and congratulations.

Xun Yu smiled and said to everyone: "Go back and prepare your luggage, Xiangyang will be our headquarters in the future."

"This..." Everyone in the hall hesitated for a while, and decided that it was not up to Xun Yu to rule. Although he had great power, he was still just a subject.

"Hehe!" Xun Yu said with a smile: "It's okay for you to be unorganized, but soon, the lord's appointment to move to Xiangyang will be passed on to Shouchun. After all, Shouchun is just the starting point, and Xiangyang is the root of our army in the future. Only emigration Only Xiangyang can control Xianghuai and peek at the Central Plains."

Xun Yu said while looking into the distance, vaguely, he seemed to see the scene where Sun Can's army invaded the Central Plains and then ruled the world.
