Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1707: Sun Ce’s thoughts {Please subscribe}{Page 1/1}

In the past, the princes indeed ignored the power of the people. In their eyes, the people were the lowest level, providing soldiers for the army. However, after fighting against the Bingzhou Army, their views gradually changed. The power of ordinary people,

If the monarch can use it properly, it will also be a great help. In Lu Bu's body, this has been greatly reflected. The princes all want to have strong strength.

When Lu Bu went to Liangzhou, Cao Cao and other princes breathed a sigh of relief. A powerful Chang'an was a huge threat to the princes. They wished that Lu Bu could lose more troops in the process of pacifying Liangzhou. In this way, Lu Bu

There is no strength to attack other princes.

Even though Lu Bu mobilized an army of 70,000 this time, the princes of the Central Plains still did not dare to underestimate Chang'an. At this time, there were 20,000 troops around Chang'an. Even if the princes united again, they would not be able to get any benefits. The reason why Guanzhong could become the overlord

The location of our foundation has a lot to do with its terrain. The checkpoints around Chang'an provide guarantee for Chang'an's security. When princes invade the checkpoints, it will be difficult to make big progress. On the contrary, it is not a wise move to offend Lu Bu at this time.

.

After the news of Lu Bu's successive victories in Liangzhou came, the princes were even more in awe of Lu Bu, and the army that attacked Liangzhou was gradually withdrawing to Chang'an. After they won the victory, they left a certain number of defenders behind.

, will return to their respective locations.

Liangzhou is barren, so providing food and grass for the army is a difficult task.

After pacifying Liangzhou, not only the princes but also the officials of Chang'an thought that Lu Bu would lead his troops back to Chang'an. However, things turned out unexpectedly. Lu Bu actually led a large army to attack Wei Li.

The Wei Li Kingdom has posed a considerable threat to Liangzhou over the years. However, if the army goes out of Yumen Pass to attack the Wei Li Kingdom, it will be a big challenge, mainly due to supply problems. Once the army suffers heavy losses in the wars between the Western Regions, it will be

Affecting the stability of Chang'an.

After Jia Xu faced this situation, he became more cautious. After a certain period of recuperation, the princes would not give Lu Bu too much time to develop. Especially Cao Cao, who was ambitious, Lu Bu became more and more powerful.

The greater the threat to Cao Cao, this is why Cao Cao agreed to join forces with Lu Bu in the first place. He needed to improve his strength so that the army would have a greater advantage when facing Lu Bu in the future.

Jiangdong made a big breakthrough in this war in Jingzhou and occupied most of the counties in Jingzhou. This was a huge encouragement to Jiangdong. Sun Ce's ascension to the throne of Wu also made the civil servants and military officers under his command have high morale.

After many years of turmoil in the Han Dynasty, the civil servants and military generals who originally regarded themselves as Han ministers had their respect for the Han Dynasty dropped to the lowest point. The powerful princes would win their support, and the strength and courage shown by Sun Ce in Jiangdong,

The impact on Jiangdong was huge.

Only when Sun Ce's status is higher can they get more benefits.

In Jiangdong, there are also many aristocratic families who reject Sun Ce. However, as Sun Ce's strength grows, such aristocratic families are gradually weakened.

Lu Bu led his troops to attack Liangzhou, which made Sun Ce unable to hold back. What he longed for most was to seize Jingzhou and then seize Yizhou to form a three-part world situation. Otherwise, Jiangdong's strength among the princes would be the highest.

Later, this situation was naturally not what Sun Ce wanted to see.

In the past, Sun Ce attacked Jingzhou without much conflict with Cao Jun. However, after Xiangyang was captured by Cao Jun, Liu Qi entered Yizhou.

Sun Ce wanted to further enhance Jiangdong's strength, so attacking Wuling and Nanjun was inevitable. As for joining forces with the princes to threaten Chang'an again, even if it succeeded, Jiangdong would not get much. However, with Lu Bu

If they jointly attack Cao Cao, Jiangdong's strength will be further enhanced. This is why Sun Ce agreed despite knowing that Lu Bu joined forces with him to contain Cao Cao.

The arrival of grain and grass in the warehouse gave Sun Ce greater confidence. He wanted to achieve a greater breakthrough in this year's war. If he wanted to break through Nanjun and Wuling County, it was urgent to unite with Chang'an. As long as Changan made a threat to Yanzhou or

Nanyang's actions can affect the strength of Cao's army, but it is more difficult to persuade Chang'an to send troops at this time.

"Gong Jin, the King of Jin led troops to attack Liangzhou. After pacifying the Qiang people in Liangzhou, he then led troops to attack Weili State. It was difficult to return to Chang'an in a short time. It may be difficult to persuade Chang'an to send troops to threaten Nanyang." Sun Ce.

road.

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "My lord, there is no need to worry. Although there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an now, after Taishi Ci and Pang De led the troops to pacify the Qiang people, they have returned to Chang'an and even built a road from Liangzhou to Chang'an. This shows that this

The plan of the King of the Second Jin Dynasty is not trivial. The troops who followed Lu Bu to fight in Liangzhou are also returning to Chang'an one after another. Chang'an's military strength will soon reach 50,000. With this number of troops, he can support his lord in seizing Nanjun and Wuling.

County, of course, is not a problem, especially Wuling County, Jiangdong is bound to win."

Wuling County belongs to the four counties in Jingnan, and it also has an important position in Jingzhou. Now Sun Ce has Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Changsha County, and Guiyang County in his hands. These counties are relatively weak in Jingzhou, such as Jiangxia.

, often withstood Jiangdong Army's attacks, the slow development can be imagined, and Guiyang and other counties are close to the barbarians, and their development is also under great threat. The most prosperous in Jingzhou are Nanjun and Wuling County, as long as Wuling County is included

If it is under control, Jiangdong Army can further threaten Nanjun.

After success, Cao Jun will only have Nanyang County in the hands of Jingzhou's counties. In this way, Cao Jun's influence in Jingzhou will be reduced to a minimum.

The reason why Sun Ce had such confidence was closely related to the fact that officials from Jingzhou went to Xudu. Cao Cao was worried that if the officials from Jingzhou stayed in Jingzhou, they would pose a big threat to the governance of the place, so he was moved to Xudu with the imperial court.

After the big families in Jingzhou leave, Jingzhou will become more pure. Although Jiangdong has been at war with Jingzhou in recent years, it has secretly contacted the small families in Jingzhou. The power of these families is not obvious on weekdays.

If they suddenly attack when the war is at its most critical, it will be fatal to Cao Jun.

"I wonder if it would be more appropriate for someone to go to Chang'an." Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and said: "This time, my subordinates went to Chang'an in person to persuade Jia Xu to send troops to threaten Nanyang."
