New Story of Lv Bu

The next day, Sun Ce led his army out of Shouchun and headed towards Liyang. At this time, his soldiers consisted of three parts. One is the three or four hundred men who followed him to fight in Yangzhou for two years. The second one is the old tribe of Chenghou of Qianwu, headed by Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang. The third is the hundreds of followers of the former Wucheng Hou Sunjian. When the three were added together, there were less than two thousand people, and the clothes and armor were all in place, and Yuan Shu also allocated thousands of stones, grains and grass. It's just that there is a serious lack of horses, and it's less than a hundred horses.

Liyang is in Jiujiang County, on the west bank of the Yangtze River, facing the quarrying across the river. It took three hundred and fifty miles from Shouchun to Liyang. Sun Ce led his army for more than ten days before arriving in Zhangling. Zhang Ling is located fifty miles northeast of Liyang. When it comes to Zhang Ling, Liyang is very close at hand. Sun Ce was determined at the moment, and quickly ordered his soldiers to camp, bury the pot and cook, and take a day off.

At this moment, a small army came to report, saying that there was an old friend asking for advice. Sun Ce hurriedly ordered to come in, and as soon as the person entered the Chinese army's big account, Sun Ce laughed loudly. "Zigang, Zibu, don’t the two come here unharmed?" It turns out that these two are really old friends, one is Zhang Hong with the word Zibu, forty-two years old this year, and the other is Zhang Zhao with the word Zibu. , Thirty-nine years old this year. The two are called "two sheets".

Zhang Hong, Zi Gang, was born in Guangling, Xuzhou. Zhang Hong's temperament is supple, he is also a master of calligraphy, and he is also a prudent person, and he is careful and careful in doing things. He is a good staff member. Zhang Hong traveled to Kyoto when he was young. He studied the Book of Changes and Ouyang Shangshu from Dr. Han Zong, and went to Waihuang to study "Han Poems", "Book of Rites" and "Zuo Shi Chun Qiu" with Pu Yangkai, and finally returned to the county. Recommended for Maocai.

At that time, the generals He Jin, Taiwei Zhu Jun, and Sikong Xun Shuang were appointed as servants, and refused to answer the call to avoid chaos in Jiangdong. At that time, Sun Ce was living in Jiangdu at a time when he was unable to do anything. Just as Zhang Hong's mother passed away, Sun Ce went to express his condolences and got acquainted. From then on, Sun Ce often met at the mansion when he was in his spare time. When the wine was hot, the two talked about the general trend of the world, and they had exquisite remarks.

Sun Ce once asked: "Fang Jin Han Zuo Zhongwei, the world is turbulent, the heroes and heroes each have private interests, and there is no one who can help the troubles. The first king and the Yuan clan broke Dong Zhuo, failed to accomplish their accomplishments, and died by Huang Zu. Although the policy is dark and naive, he has a slight ambition. If he wants to seek the first emperor and more soldiers from Yuan Yangzhou, he will take the uncle Yu Danyang, consolidate and disperse, and reconcile the Wu Hui, report shame and shame for the imperial court. Why do you like this?"

At that time, Emperor Xiaoxian was still in the position of the emperor. Sun Ce's remark was really a rebellious remark in the eyes of celebrities in the world. Zhang Hong has a soft temperament, and he doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Sun Ce, but he is inconvenient to express his opinion on this matter, so he has to pretend to be confused. He thought for a while, and slowly replied: "Since nothing is inferior, and Fang is in decline, there is no way to praise it." This is deliberately pretending to be confused.

Zhang Hong deliberately pretended to be confused, but Sun Ce refused to give up. He was observing his words and feelings, and felt that he was not enough to put his heart in his stomach, so the king Zhang Hong talked about him. So Sun Ce said something impassioned. "The monarch’s name spreads the more, the far and near will return. Today’s plan is determined by the monarch, why not worry about the advice, and the hope of the mountain? If the ambition can be achieved, the blood will be rewarded, this is the king’s honor Power, what Cexin is looking for." At this point, Sun Ce remembered his father Wucheng Hou Sunjian's death, and couldn't help crying loudly.

Zhang Hong observed secretly and saw that Sun Ce expressed his conviction in these words, his speech was generous, and his expression remained unchanged. Sima Qian said in the "Historical Records? The Assassin's Biography": "The brave person is angry but the face is blush; the brave person is angry but the face is blue; the brave person is angry but the face is white; the brave person is angry but not lustful. Change." Looking at Sun Ce's expression, he should be a brave person. If he succeeds in the future, he must be regarded as a great hero!

Perhaps moved by Sun Ce's impassion and passion, Zhang Hong was silent for a moment, and finally reached out his hand to help Sun Ce and said the truth. "In the past and Zhou Daoling was late, Qi and Jin were both prosperous; the royal family is already in peace, and the princes have the tribute. Now the rule of the king, Shao and the first prince, has the name of Xiaowu, if you vote for Danyang, and retreat to Wuhui, then Jing and Yang can be one, and the enemy can be reported. According to the Yangtze River, fend for mighty virtue, punish the filth, help the Han Dynasty, the merits of the Han Dynasty, is nothing more than a foreigner? The chaos in this world is so difficult, if the achievements are successful, we should be together with the same good."

These words of Zhang Hong, like a divine enlightenment, immediately made Sun Ce realize. Where is this two gossip? It is the strategy of building a nation that is to guide Jiangdong, set the hegemony at the end, and then watch Jingxiang, waiting to move! Sun Ce was overjoyed immediately. "One is in accordance with the agreement with the king, (same) there is a point of immortality, so we can do it today, and the old mother and the weak brother will pay Yujun, and there is no worry about reviewing it again."

Among the Jiangdong two Zhang, Zhang Hong has a supple temperament, but Zhang Zhao has a fiery temperament. He is vigorous and proficient in Confucianism. He has always been respected by the Jiangdong family. Zhang Zhao, word cloth. People from Pengcheng, Xuzhou. Zhang Zhao was eager to learn when he was young and was good at the official script. He studied "The Spring and Autumn of the Zuo Family" with Bai Hou Zi'an. He was famous and friendly with Zhao Yu from Langya and Wang Lang from the East China Sea. Zhang Zhao was once recommended as Xiaolian when he became an adult, but he refused to accept his refusal. He discussed with Wang Lang about past emperors' taboos ("The Old Monarchs' Taboo"). Chen Lin, a talented person in Xuzhou, praised him quite well. Xuzhou governor Tao Qian admired him as Maocai, but Zhang Zhao refused. Tao Qian has a narrow temperament and thinks that Zhang Zhao despise him, so Zhang Zhao is imprisoned. Later, his friend Zhao Yu tried his best, and it took a lot of effort to be released.

When the Central Plains were stumbling, Zhang Zhao fled to Jiangdong and met Sun Ce at Zhang Hong's home. Since then, the two have been in a relationship with Sun Ce.

Now, Sun Ce was overjoyed when he saw Jiangdong Erzhang coming to join him. "Bo Fu, Zibu and I are both Confucian scholars. We have no wealth in our family. We only brought more than a hundred stone grains and a hundred soldiers. It was better than nothing! However, when we crossed the river, I and Zibu sent secretly inquired. The garrison and terrain of Hengjiang Crossing and Danglidu. Nuo, the map is here." Zhang Hong said with a smile.

"Hey! What happened?" Sun Ce took the map with both hands and watched it carefully. He was overjoyed. "With these two maps, I have no worries about defeating the enemies of Hengjiang and Dangli! Today, I have Zigang and Zibu, just like Henkel's ovary!" Sun Ce immediately appointed Xing Kou in the name of General Xingkou Zhang Hong was appointed as the lieutenant, and Zhang Zhao was appointed as the general history of the invaders, and a banquet was held to celebrate.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the three talked about the strategy of Jiangdong. "Lord, in my opinion, this strategy Jiangdong must be divided into four steps!" Zhang Zhaoman drank a glass of wine and stretched out four fingers. "The first step is to defeat Fan Neng and Zhang Ying who are stationed at Hengjiangdu and Danglidu, and then cross the Yangtze River east to attack Niuzhu Mountain, which is the Quarry Mountain. There, Liu Yao hoarded a large amount of grain. If it can be successfully captured, it will not only be able to obtain a large amount of supplies, but also invigorate the morale of the enemy."

"The second step is to capture Moling and defeat Ruorong's troops. Only in this way can we really cross the Yangtze River. The third step is to go east to Qu'a and fight Liu Yu. As long as Liu Yu is defeated, Qu'a will be captured. It’s up to Wu Jun to be able to pass it. In the fourth step, after stabilizing the Wu Jun family, continue to the east, attack Kuaiji, and fight Wang Lang decisively. After the end of Kuaiji, the troops will be divided to collect Yu Zhang."

Having said this, Zhang Zhao said nothing. He looked at Sun Ce with both eyes and his face was full of triumph. "Zibuzhi's words are great!" Zhang Hong laughed with his palm on the side. "At this time, in the land of the six counties in Yangzhou, Ming Gong has won the three counties of Wujun, Kuaiji, and Yuzhang. If you add Liyang in the hands of Wu Jing and Sun Ben, as well as Lujiang and Yangzhou who are fighting hard with Yuan Shu. Dividing the world, Ming Gong has won the second place! In addition, Yuan Shu's internal affairs are endless, military and arrogant, arrogant and prosperous, have long lost the heart, and when he becomes the emperor, it will be the time of defeat!"

"Yeah! But one thing, this Raiders Jiangdong, we have to master a fire! Sooner or later, too early, it will make Yuan Shusheng wary and move troops to fight us. If it is too late, he will capture Lujiang. Send troops to Jiangdong, go down the mountain to pick the peaches, and insert a knife in the back. In my opinion, from now on, in two years, one step at a time, it will be appropriate to slow down the battle!"

Zhang Zhao said in a loud voice. "It's a slow and fast battle!" A red light appeared in Sun Ce's eyes. He patted the case and shouted loudly: "Zi Gang, Zi Bu! I have you two, better than a hundred thousand soldiers! Starting today, we will slowly attack Jiangdong! One step at a time, we will slowly enter the fierce battle, levelling Ruorong, Liu Yu, and Wang Lang again and again, and finally set Jiangdong!"

Early the next morning, after a meal and a meal, Sun Ce led two thousand infantry and more than a hundred cavalrymen, heading south from Zhangling to Liyang. At this moment, his subordinates include Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong in Wen, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lu Fan, Sun He and others in Wu. Up. Jianzhi's subordinates are all veterans who have survived a hundred battles. They have fought with Wucheng Hou Sunjian for several years. At a glance, the army is neat and clear, and the armor is clear, and the people have praised them.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the group finally arrived in Liyang. Rest for a few days in Liyang, collect food and clean up military discipline. In the meantime, there are many famous people who are brave and healthy to vote, and Sun Ce studied them one by one and compiled them separately. Between ten days and days, the number of subordinates increased to five or six thousand. Seeing the number of corporals and soldiers increasing day by day, Sun Ce was overjoyed, sending out soldiers to gather food and grass while reorganizing the army.

However, with the increase in the army, the consumption of grain and grass is getting faster and faster. Sun Ce frowned, unhappy. At this moment, Zhou Yu led five or six hundred soldiers to Liyang with a large amount of grain, grass and money. "Bo Fu! I know that your army is short of food, so I deliberately took a large amount of money and food from my uncle. Fortunately, there is no delay!" Zhou Yu laughed loudly when he saw Sun Ce.
