Chapter 1333 The ambition of the Jiangdong tiger

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Except for Wu Qizhe's territory expansion, the rest of the Han Dynasty has basically maintained its current status.

A month ago, Wu Qizhe led a 50,000-strong army and captured the entire Jiangdong area. The land he reached was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. He was invincible and invincible.

In less than a month, they captured the six counties in Jiangdong that had repeatedly frustrated Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian.

Although the six counties in Jiangdong have a small population, they still have more than two million people. If they are captured by Sun Jian and managed with painstaking efforts, they may not be able to build a legacy that lasts for generations.

It's a pity that it's already the moon in the mirror, and Sun Jian can only look at the river and sigh, lamenting.

The two prefectures of Yongliang, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and now Yangzhou were added. Of course, Wu Qizhe of Yangzhou only acquired six counties in Jiangdong, and the essence of Huainan was occupied by Sun Jian.

But these are all minor problems. If Wu Qizhe wants to kill a mere Sun Jian, he can easily do it, so there is nothing to worry about.

Sun Jian, the lord of Huainan, went to the Yangtze River every day and lamented constantly. Every day he did not hope that he could obtain the land of the six counties in Jiangdong. After all, it was his hometown. It had a profound and unique feeling for him. significance.

Following Sun Jian were Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce looked at the majestic Yangtze River and felt a surge of pride in his heart, as if he could compare with the heavenly test.

Zhou Yu was different. He followed Sun Jian, so he was naturally too lazy to find out that his lord Sun Jian was worried.

But this is not difficult to understand. After all, Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger who once was so powerful in the world, can now only hide in a small place in Huainan. How can he not feel aggrieved?

Speaking of which, Huainan can be considered a prosperous land, with a population of nearly half a million. Although Sun Jian did not say that he was aggressive in military affairs, his original troops and horses, plus the troops he recruited in Huainan, could barely raise 50,000. Although not as good as Hebei Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others, compared to Tao Qian, Cao Cao and others are not necessarily much weaker.

But Sun Jian felt that he had more than enough ambition and insufficient strength. In addition, his beloved wife Wu sisters were still trapped in Jingzhou, so he always felt sad in private whenever he thought about it.

He also thought about sending someone to Wu Qizhe to retrieve his wife and children, but it was obvious that there was no news from the envoy he sent, and he was probably detained. He didn't know if he would ever see the Wu sisters again in this life. And his youngest daughter Sun Shangxiang.

"Gong Jin, what do you think father is thinking about?" Sun Ce seemed to have discovered what Sun Jian was thinking, and bumped into Zhou Yu beside him and asked.

"My lord, you must be sighing for the future of the Huainan Army." Zhou Yu said in a low voice.

"What's there to sigh about? My father has taken a fancy to that piece of land, so I went to get it. Whether it's Liu Bei's Yuzhou or Tao Qian's Xuzhou, I will be the first to play forward." Sun Ce patted his chest and said.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "What if it is the land of the six counties in Jiangdong?"

"Six counties in Jiangdong?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If my father is willing to give me 30,000 soldiers and horses, how difficult will it be to take down the six counties in Jiangdong?"

Sun Jian, who had been walking in front and listening to the conversation between himself and his son and Zhou Yu, finally couldn't stand it anymore. He turned around and pointed at Sun Ce and scolded: "You are shameless, General Wu Qizhe, who has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. You only have 30,000 troops. It’s like having your hands on Jiangdong, are you talking nonsense?”

"Wu Qizhe has many soldiers and horses, but not all of them are in Jiangdong. I have sent detailed investigations to Jiangdong before. Wu Qizhe brought only 50,000 soldiers and horses from Jingzhou. There will definitely be losses to some extent. Even if Jiangdong is recaptured, The princes have recruited some troops and horses, but they will not exceed 70,000."

"And now, Wu Qizhe has newly acquired the land of Jiangdong, and the people's hearts are unstable. This is a great opportunity for us. With the popularity of his father in Jiangdong, if we attack back, it will not be just a matter of one call, and the land of Jiangdong can be secured at the fingertips." Sun Ce's analysis was so clear and logical that even Sun Jian's eyes lit up.

He looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, what do you think of Bo Fu's proposal?" In the land of Huainan, there is the Central Plains to the north, the sea to the east, and Jiangnan to the south.

To the west is the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. Although the place is relatively prosperous, it faces pressure from all directions. The geographical location is not superior. Even Sun Jian, a tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, dare not say that he can handle it easily.

Logically speaking, the land of Huainan should be a big piece of fat. You must know that after Sun Quan captured Jingzhou, he spent his whole life thinking about how to capture Huainan.

But here's the problem. Sun Quan in history wanted to capture Huainan, which is different from Sun Jian who has already occupied Huainan now.

Sun Quan captured Huainan in order to expand and use it as a springboard to achieve the goal of competing for world supremacy.

But now that Sun Jian has acquired the land of Huainan and has enemies on all sides, it can be said to be an enclave, so he wants to capture the six counties in Jiangdong as strategic depth.

And after all, Jiangdong is also Sun Jian's hometown, so there will be somewhat different feelings.

"Not very good." Zhou Yu directly rejected the proposal of his good brother Sun Ce.

"How could it be different? I think this is the best development direction for us now." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in confusion.

"My lord, do you know that if you capture the six counties in Jiangdong, you must make an enemy of General Wu Qizhe?" Zhou Yu said calmly.

"Of course I know, and I'm not afraid of him either." Sun Jianhu said in an unfamiliar and majestic way.

"This is not a question of whether we are afraid or not, but the strength is on the surface. If we attack the six counties in Jiangdong, we will undoubtedly hit the stone with an egg." Zhou Yu sighed.

"How can it be that you are throwing an egg against a stone? The six counties in Jiangdong do not represent Wu Qizhe's full strength." Sun Ce argued.

"That's what I say, but the existing 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong are so easy to deal with. Not to mention that Wu Qizhe has never been defeated since the war. In terms of military strength alone, we no longer have an advantage. Huainan We can't send out all the troops and horses, so the maximum number of troops that can be used is 40,000. We must leave 10,000 troops to guard Huainan. Forty thousand vs. 670,000 troops, especially the opponent's commander is still invincible. General Wu Qizhe, I don't know what our chances of winning are?" Zhou Yu said with a wry smile and spread his hands.

"Gong Jin, it's not like you to be timid before fighting." Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu dissatisfied.

"I'm not afraid, but I don't want to start a fearless war." Zhou Yu sighed.

"So, we really can only huddle in Huainan." Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger in his prime, said unwillingly.

"That's not necessarily the case." Zhou Yu smiled.

"Gong Jin has some clever ideas, please tell me quickly." Seeing Zhou Yu Chengzhu's presence, Sun Jian seemed to see hope again. This young man always gave him too many surprises in the past.
