Chapter 453 The General Trend of the World

Luoyang, Cheqi General's Mansion.

"Mr. Jing Xing was shocked, are you okay?" Xun You asked comfortingly.

Wang Lang sighed: "Oh, talking about those few days, it's really soul-stirring. Somebody and Zhong Xiang were drinking and composing poems in the hall, when suddenly a sergeant came to report that Sun Ce's army had arrived."

"The general of Sun Ce's army is named Tai Shici, but he is a fierce general with a long spear and a green dragon halberd in his hand. No one in Kuaiji City can compete with him." Wang Lang recalled: "Zhongxiang saw something bad, so he dragged a certain boarder I boarded a boat to avoid disaster for a while, but unexpectedly Tai Shici chased after him alone, and I was caught."

Xun You frowned: "So, Kuaiji County also fell into Sun Ce's hands, and only Yan Baihu still occupies half of Wu County?"

Wang Lang shook his head: "No, although Sun Ce sent Tai Shici to attack Kuaiji first and then take Wu County, but when a certain trip reached Shouchun, I heard that Yan Baihu had been captured and killed by Sun Ce."

Xun You's face became even more serious: "So, Sun Ce has now completely ruled Jiangdong?"

Wang Lang sighed: "That's right, Sun Ce is worthy of being the son of Sun Jian, a fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, and his style of work is very similar to that of his father."

Xun You comforted him, "Duke Jing Xing was shocked. Someone has already arranged a mansion for him. Please go back and rest."

Wang Lang nodded and backed away, while Xun You's face darkened.

"Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong. I am afraid that he will go north to the Central Plains to compete with the general in the future. It is better to write a letter to the general as soon as possible."

Puyang, driving and riding the general's mansion.

"General, the former governor of Kuaiji, Wang Lang, a master of Confucian classics, recently went to Luoyang. You learned from him that the general of Yuan Shu and the son of Wucheng Hou Sun Jian defeated Liu Yao, defeated Wang Lang, killed Yan Baihu, and pacified Jiangdong in March. , the hearts of the people are attached, and it may become a serious disaster in the future, please make a decision, general."

Hearing Guo Jia finished reading the letter, Liu Ye couldn't help sighing: "As expected of the son of the tiger in Jiangdong, the tiger roars in the mountains and forests."

"It's a pity." Jia Xu analyzed: "Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong. It is impossible for our army to control Sun Ce through Yuan Shu. Now that Sun Ce's climate has grown up, he will become a serious threat to our army when he grows up in the future."

Sun Ce occupies Jiangdong, which is not bordered by Liu Ye's territory. Liu Ye can't go all the way across Yuan Shu to fight Sun Ce. In this way, there is no restraint. With Sun Ce's military ability and ambition, his strength will soon increase.

"Well, our army can't fight against Sun Ce for the time being." Guo Jia agreed: "Fan Ju of Qin has a saying that he fights from a distance and attacks from a distance, and Sun Ce is far away. Since our army can't confront him for the time being, we might as well make friends with him."

"Well, tell me." Liu Ye nodded.

"Sun Ce is a general under Yuan Shu's command, but when someone heard about Yuan Shu, he was repeated. He promised Sun Ce to be the prefect of Lujiang, but replaced him with his subordinate Liu Xun. The two sides were secretly at odds." Guo Jia analyzed: "In this case , our army can just sow discord, attack Yuan Shu and make friends with Sun Ce, and calm Sun Ce's heart, which is equivalent to breaking Yuan Shu's arm."

Guo Jia said sternly: "It's not going well if the name is not right. Now that Liu Yao has died of illness, it is just right to transfer the post of governor of Yangzhou to Sun Ce, and order him to inherit the title of Marquis Wucheng from his father. Entrust the generals and schools under your command."

Liu Ye frowned: "Sun Ce attacked Yangzhou and killed the emperor's family and relatives. This revenge will be avenged sooner or later. But for the sake of calming Sun Ce's heart for the time being, it doesn't matter if I grant him the title."

Hearing Liu Ye's agreement, Guo Jia admired it very much, and smiled slightly: "The general has a clear distinction between public and private, and he will definitely capture Sun Ce sooner or later."

After all, Liu Ye is the uncle of the great Han emperor, and every word and deed represents the majesty of the Han Dynasty. It is of course not advisable for Sun Ce to attack and kill Liu Yao now, and he must be brought to justice sooner or later.

Jia Xu suddenly said: "Someone also has a plan, which can delay Sun Ce's development."

Liu Ye looked surprised: "Oh? What's Wen He's plan, tell me quickly."

Jia Xu showed a strange smile: "General, please grant Sun Ce a high-ranking official and generous salary at the same time as the general distributes Sun Ce."

"Brilliant plan!" Guo Jia laughed.

And Liu Ye's eyes lit up: "So that's the case, Wenhe is indeed a national scholar."

Who is Huang Zu? At the beginning, with the support of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian led his army to invade Jingzhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xiangyang. Later, he was killed by Kuai Liang's plan to ambush, and the executor of this plan was none other than Liu Biao's general. Huang Zu.

Now Huang Zu, under Liu Biao's order, is sitting in Jiangxia, which happens to be to the east of Jingzhou and borders Yangzhou.

"Our army rewards Huang Zu and Sun Ce at the same time, which will definitely arouse Sun Ce's hatred for Huang Zu." Jia Xu sneered, "At that time, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce will have hatred for seizing land, and Huang Zu and Sun Ce will have hatred for killing their father. With these two men in check, even if Sun Ce has tens of thousands of troops under his command, it is impossible for Sun Ce to compete for the Central Plains in a few years."

Liu Ye laughed loudly: "Smart plan, good plan, then make Huang Zu Marquis of Xiakou and let him go east to fight Sun Ce."

It has to be said that both Jia Xu and Guo Jia are top-notch plotters. Under the joint planning of the two, Sun Ce, who was quite threatening just now, suddenly changed from an enemy to an enemy of the enemy. Friends, but it is absolutely impossible to pose a danger to Liu Ye.

"By the way." Liu Ye suddenly asked: "How is Hebei going? Can Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan decide the winner?"

Now that Liu Ye controls Guanzhong and half of the Central Plains, the next step is nothing more than east, south, and north. Go east to Xuzhou, south to capture Yuzhou and Yangzhou, and go north to capture Hebei Jizhou and Youzhou. Therefore, he is more concerned about the situation in Hebei.

"Well, recently Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan held the Battle of Jumashui and the Battle of Longcou in succession." Guo Jia confessed: "Although Gongsun Yue led the army to assist Gongsun Zan, Gongsun's army seemed to be in a slump after the battle at Jieqiao. They were defeated by Yuan Shao one after another in the battle, especially Qu Yi, the general of the Yuan army, who seems to be from Xiliang, and the dead soldiers under his command must be the first to ascend in every battle, and they defeated the cavalry of the Gongsun army several times."

"After three battles and three defeats, Gongsun Zan lost his morale, so he had to retreat to Yijing, his old nest. Fearing that Yuan Shao would attack, Gongsun Zan dug more than ten heavy trenches in Yijing. The gates are fortified, and food and grass are widely stored." Guo Jia said with a smile: "Gongsun Zan is like a turtle shell, Yuan Shao saw that he would not be able to defeat Yi Jing in a short time, and after repeated battles, the soldiers were exhausted, so he led the army back to Yecheng. "

Liu Ye sighed: "The day of General Baima's demise is not far away."

Jia Xu laughed and said, "Why is the general so determined? Yi Jing is Gongsun Zan's lair, deeply rooted."

Liu Ye laughed: "The cavalry's way of using troops is all in one word. Gongsun Zan is known as the White Horse General, but he has already shrunk.
