Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Shi Xie frowned, and asked Shi Zhi in a deep voice: "Ji'er has been in Guangzhou for these years, and Lan Tian should be the most clear about what's true. What do you think of Second Uncle's suggestion?"

"Father and the two uncles should have read the recent Lingnan Daily. It is not a lie to go to four cities in two days and destroy the country in fifteen days. There are a total of more than [-] soldiers in Linyi Kingdom, and Gao Shun only brought five Five thousand barbarians, five thousand trapped troops..." Shi Zhi didn't understand what he said, meaning don't let your imagination run wild.

Shi Yi continued to ask: "After Gao Shun's conquest of Linyi, he has returned to Guangzhou with the rebel army, which means that there are only some barbarians left in Rinan County. Why don't we expand to the south? It is not easy for Lantian to organize an expedition."

"Don't." Jiuzhen Taishou Huang Youzhi waved his hand, and he explained with a sad face: "Although the fallen army returned to Guangzhou, the Wuxi Man is not easy to mess with, especially the leader Shamoke is a ruthless character. He once killed Fan Shanhu, the number one warrior of the Cham tribe, recently he has incorporated the war elephant army of the Cham tribe, and often drives the war elephants to the north of Hengshan Pass to graze..."

"Drove the elephant to the north of Hengshan Pass, just to eat grass? Did you eat up all the grass in Rinan County?" The youngest son Shi Song showed a puzzled expression.

"Shut up." Shi Hui glared coldly, thinking that you are stupid enough.

Shi Yi frowned and did not speak, Shi Zhi continued: "The [-] troops stationed in Guangzhou have once defeated Sun Quan and Cao Cao head-on. It has expanded to ten thousand people, and now the navy is stationed on Zhuya Island, its intention is self-evident..."

"It seems that Lantian doesn't want to wait any longer. Big brother, why hasn't there been any news from Jiangdong? Did Sun Quan see through your scheme?" Shi Yi asked dejectedly.

"It's too far away, how can I know? Just know some news?" Shi Xie has never relied on Shi Zhi like this.

Shi Zhi frowned and replied: "I just heard that there was a war in Huainan. General Lan summoned the prefects of Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling a few days ago, as if to prepare them for war. Guan Yu may send troops to attack Wei at any time, probably for the sake of Solidarity with our ally Sun Quan."

"When did Guan Yu become so magnanimous? Did he forget that Sun Quan attacked Jingzhou three years ago?" This time it was Shi Hui's turn to say something stupid.

Shi Xie shook his head slightly: "Where did you see the magnanimity? It's just that Guan Yu learned that Cao and Sun had turned against each other and wanted to find an opportunity to take advantage of it. No wonder Sun Quan didn't respond. It turns out that we are too busy to take care of ourselves. Our situation is difficult..."

"Brother, why don't we live in Lantian for the time being? Your arms can't twist your thighs..." Shi Huang admitted his fear. He felt that it would be better to retire from his old age and return to his hometown, at least to be a rich man.

Chapter 781 Give me an assist if you don't start a battle

Although Shi Huangyou's voice was not loud, it revealed the disunity within the Shi family.

Shi Xie didn't show any anger, he nodded affirmatively and said: "Lantian seems to want to take away our two counties, but in fact Hepu only trades his left hand for his right hand. Since the third brother has no objection, I also mean to give up the two counties. Otherwise, it is not in our interest to provoke the other party."

"Brother, what should I do if Lantian is making progress?" Shi Yi's face was full of worry.

Shi Xie frowned and replied: "At present, we can only hope for external wars. If the Cao and Sun families can join forces to deal with Liu Bei again, Lantian will have no chance to take care of us. It is best for the three families to be severely injured. That kind of result is in our best interest." ..."

Shi Yi smiled wryly and said, "It's hard to tell the two families of Cao and Liu. How can Sun Quan have this ability? Eldest brother puts his hope on him, which is equivalent to asking Yu Blind. Besides, Dongwu is now going to Huainan to pick trouble, when will he respond to us? Once If Lan Tian makes an advance move, the Shi family will have no chance..."

"I don't believe that the Sun and Cao families can fight each other. What we can do now is to buy time for Sun Quan. You can go back to Guangzhou and report to General Lan to show that your second and third uncles are willing to be ordered to serve, but they are here after all. Bian has served as the sheriff for many years, and there are a lot of things that need to be handed over, please give us more time." Shi Xie made a plan for delay.

Shi Zhi nodded slightly, "You can save it, but there must be a time limit, right?"

"I think at least half a year..." Shi Yi suggested.

"Half a year is indeed too much. You try to get three months, at least two months..." Shi Xie planned that after two months, the autumn harvest would be over, and all the money and food from the two counties could be transported away, and the two empty shells would be transported away. The county was then handed over to Lantian.

"My son, try to fight for it..." Although Shi Zhi has his heart for the family, he feels that all this is in vain.

After a while, Shi Xie dismissed the juniors in the hall, and whispered to two brothers Shi Yi and Shi Huang: "During the handover period, you must move all the money and food from the treasury of each county to Longbian, and the troops stationed in the other two counties Take them all, too."

"Take them all away? Wouldn't the security of the two places..." Shi Huang hesitated.

"Lan Tian easily obtained the land of the two counties without a single soldier. He should be content." Shi Xie squinted his eyes.

"Jiuzhen doesn't matter, is it the same in Hepu? The new prefect is only a nephew..." Shi Huangyou continued to remind.

Shi Xie sneered: "Isn't Lantian very powerful? My nephew will ask Guangzhou for help when he is in trouble. In this way, although we have lost land, we have kept money, food, soldiers and horses. As the saying goes, one goes up and down the other. If Sun Quan really sends troops In Jiaozhou, everyone might be able to fight with all their strength and drive that Mr. Xuan Xiao out."

"It's a good plan, but Sun Quan almost..." Shi Huang Youzhi shook his head.

Shi Xie's face was full of bitterness: "A dead horse should be a living horse doctor. I have to write a letter to Sun Quan again to state how powerful I am. Without the help of the Shi family, I'm afraid he will never have the chance to get involved in Jiaozhou. It can never be washed off."

The scholar nodded and said, "Good."

In late August, Shizhi returned to Guangzhou to report to Lantian, and finally helped the Shijia win two months.

A few days later, Song Chen hurriedly found Lantian and sent Shi Xie's new letter there.

"Sir, the old man was so wicked that he wrote to Sun Quan to beg to send troops. He clearly was delaying time. Why did you agree to give two months? Although Shi Yi and Shi Huangyou agreed to step down as prefects, they secretly went to Long Transferring money, food, soldiers and horses, I'm afraid we will end up with two empty shells..." Song Chen frowned.

After hearing this, Lan Tian didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "Isn't the reason why the scholar family is kept to deal with Sun Quan? Everything is under my control, and it is good to let Shi Xie influence Sun Quan. Too much information will make the The opponent loses judgment, and people tend to be impulsive when they are irrational. Only when the Huainan battlefield is really fought, can we have a chance to use troops on the western front of Wei State. How can the three counties of Jiaozhi compare with Liangzhou? Scholars like to play procrastination, so let's just plan."

"The general understands..." Song Chen clasped his fists and nodded.

"Is there any news about the Huainan battlefield?" Lan Tian asked.

Song Chen replied: "General Guan's letter of support has been sent to Jiangdong, but Sun Quan seems to be still gathering troops in Ruxuwu. Luoyang has also become very calm at the moment. The Sun and Cao families feel that they can't fight..."

"Sun Quan wanted to use war to divert the conflict between Jiangdong and Cao Pi, but Cao Pi was afraid that we would take the opportunity to attack him, so neither of the two families really wanted to start a war. We had to find a way to help them..." Lan Tian had an idea during the analysis, and took out a pen and paper He began to write letters to Guan Yu.

Lan Tian stopped writing after writing only two lines, put it in an envelope and handed it to Song Chen, saying: "Send this letter to General Xiangyangguan as soon as possible, and send Shi Xie's letter to Hu Ke to Sun Quan by the same route."

"Wei." Song Chen clasped his fists and left.

The fast boat of the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce traveled day and night and arrived in Xiangyang, an important town in northern Jingbei, in early September.

Guan Yu attached great importance to receiving the letter from Lantian, and immediately sent Guan Ping and Liao Hua to lead troops from Xiangyang to cross the Hanshui River to take over the southeast of Nanyang County; he ordered Pang De to send troops from Fancheng to occupy Chaoyang in the north; Send troops to occupy Yinxian and Fengxian counties, and send sentries to Nanxiang and Shunyang counties in the north.

These occupied counties and townships were abandoned by Cao Cao when he withdrew his troops during the Xiangfan War, and the people from all over the place were forcibly moved to the northern Wancheng area, thus becoming a strategic buffer zone with the Jingzhou army.

Guan Yu's goal was Wancheng, Luoyang, and Xuchang, and he did not occupy the empty cities because of Cao Cao's abandonment, but his sudden move made Nanyang and Nanxiang guards Zhang Liao and Xu Huang feel uneasy, and soon the battle report was sent to Zhengnan University General Cao Xiu's office.

Cao Xiu held the battle report to face the saint, and Cao Pi laughed at himself after hearing this: "Sun Quan gathered troops in Huainan, Zhang Fei built a camp for the Northern Expedition in Qishan, and now Guan Yu has sent people to occupy the empty cities of Nanyang and Nanxiang. Wei’s attitude in the decisive battle, but when you think about it carefully, it’s just a posturing, they don’t care if they want to waste money and food, just tell the two generals Zhang and Xu to pay attention to defense, there is no need for everything to be as if the sky is falling.”

"Your Majesty, Guan Yu once threatened to help Sun Quan. He started to act in Jingzhou. Maybe Sun Quan would have the courage to use his troops because of this. The general suggested that since the danger is always there, it is better to concentrate on fighting back." Cao Xiu continued to speak.

Cao Pi stroked his beard and nodded, "These two years of recuperation is also the time to let Sun Liu know how powerful we are. I know that the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Wu are incompetent, so the Huainan battlefield is nothing to be afraid of. You think you should deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Who used force?"

Cao Xiu clasped his fists and replied: "Wudu where Zhang Fei is located is also an empty shell. At present, Zidan guarding Liangzhou can be safe, and Guan Yu's troops in Xiangyang are the most threatening. I suggest that you concentrate your superior forces to fight against him."

"Xiangyang and Fancheng have been rejected by Guan Yu. Even if the soldiers are willing to fight the enemy bravely, it will be difficult to wipe out the Jingzhou Army..." Cao Pi shook his head.

Cao Xiu was embarrassed when he heard it, and wiped out Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army?Are you talking in your sleep?

Chapter 782 Passive defense subject

"Your Majesty, Guan Yu claims to be invincible in the world, and the cavalry and sailors are all good players. It is unrealistic for us to completely wipe out the opponent. It is the best ending to seriously injure the strength of the Jingzhou army. The only way to disable Liu Bei's right-hand man in Jingzhou, Your Majesty can safely move the Central Plains soldiers to the west or east..." Cao Xiu analyzed.

Cao Pi nodded solemnly, "Wen Lie prepares first, I have to think again."

"Wei." Cao Xiu cupped his fists and exited the palace.

Cao Pi looked at the back of Cao Xiu leaving, and suddenly thought of Jia Xu, a scheming man who always had unique explanations for the analysis of the general trend of the world.

"Xiao Gao, take the imperial physician and go to the Taiwei's mansion now, and invite Jia Taiwei to the widow to come into the palace." Cao Pi had just finished speaking, and added: "The Taiwei is old, take my imperial chariot Go pick it up."

"Wei." The servant Gao Mou was ordered to leave.

Cao Pi came to visit several times before, but was criticized by the clan ministers for losing his prestige, so he never took the initiative to visit the Taiwei's Mansion. Cao Pi was worried that Jia Xu would excuse his illness, so he asked Gao Miao to bring the imperial physician with him.

After more than an hour, the emperor's imperial chariot stopped in front of the Nangong Xuanshi Hall, Gao Mou followed and helped Jia Xu out of the chariot.

Jia Xu was assisted by Gao Mou to enter the hall for an audience. Cao Pi couldn't bear to see Jia Xu staggering, and ordered someone to give him a seat.

"Your Majesty called your servants to come, could it be that you can't make a decision because of foreign wars?" Jia Xu sat down, turned his head and asked the question.

Cao Pi nodded and said: "The widow didn't want to disturb the Taiwei to recuperate, but Liangzhou, Jingzhou, and Huainan seem to be at war. It is difficult for the Chinese and Chinese military officials to be as resourceful as you, so I asked Xiao Gao to invite the Taiwei here. Thank you. Give me an analysis."

"Seeing that the autumn harvest is coming everywhere, it is said that only Zhang Fei will invade Liangzhou to rebel, but General Zidan has quelled the rebellion in the Hexi Corridor, and has stationed heavy troops in the counties of Tianshui. I don't believe that Zhang Fei dares to seek his own death. At this time, Soochow is the weakest of the three, and Sun Quan is most likely putting on airs, as for Guan Yu in Jingzhou, it is hard to say..." Jia Xu showed a serious look.

Cao Pi nodded in agreement: "Before, Guan Yu threatened to send troops with Sun Quan, but there was no movement in Huainan. Xiangyang seemed to be unable to bear the loneliness, and recently sent many troops to advance north. Guan Ping, Pang De and others took some of the former emperor Abandoned city..."

"Do you have any opinions on the Korean and Chinese military?" Jia Xu asked.

"The battle report of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang was sent to me by Wen Lie just now, and I thought of the Taiwei immediately before I called the group of ministers to discuss." Cao Pi's mustache curled up with a smile.

Jia Xu frowned, stroked his beard and said to himself: "Guan Yu's move has a lot of meaning...Wen Lie is His Majesty's General Who Conquers the South, what does he think?"

"Wen Lie also analyzed that Xiliang and Huainan would not be able to fight. He suggested concentrating troops around Luoyang and then fighting Guan Yu in a decisive battle to completely defeat Jingzhou's arrogance. Otherwise, the Central Plains garrison would be restrained by tens of thousands of Guan Yu, which would really be a hindrance. The safety and stability of the Great Wei..." Cao Pi then expressed Cao Xiu's opinion.

Jia Xu nodded slightly and continued to analyze: "Wen Lie is very thoughtful, but I think there is no need to be so anxious. Guan Yu and Sun Quan are currently having their own ulterior motives. Whether it was Guan Yu who threatened to help Wu before, or he is now sending troops to occupy the empty city, we all miss Sun Quan. In the decisive battle with the Great Wei in Huainan, when His Majesty transfers the Central Plains troops to the east, the Jingzhou soldiers may really go north."

"Guan Yu's little tricks have been seen through by the widows long ago. As long as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, and Man Chong guard everywhere, I can rest easy in Luoyang." Cao Pi smiled confidently.

"Passive defense is controlled by others, Your Majesty should take the initiative to break this deadlock." Jia Xu reminded, stroking his beard.

"The Taiwei also agrees with Wen Lie's opinion?" Cao Pi asked.

Jia Xu shook his head and replied: "Since Guan Yu and Sun Quan are waiting for the other party to attack first, why don't your majesty make a small plan to push the boat along? You can let the prefect Man (Man Chong) go to Huainan for reinforcements with all the soldiers from Runan, but pretend to be your majesty to the outside world." Not to mention that Sun Quan might be frightened away, Guan Yu, seeing that the dragons around Luoyang are leaderless, might really venture northward in order to make contributions, and the strategic depth at a sufficient distance will make the Jingzhou soldiers taste the bitter fruit."

"The royal conquest? I remember that when Cheng Yu fought under the banner of the first emperor, he really retreated the troops of Soochow. Is it still useful to repeat the old trick now? If Sun Quan took the risk to attack..." Cao Pi showed hesitation.

"Your Majesty can rest assured that Grand Sima (Cao Ren) is both civil and military, and his combat experience is almost the top of the three armies. With him guarding Huainan, he will be safe. Even if Man Boning does not go to Huainan to help, Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu may not be his opponent." Jia Xu has great confidence in Cao Ren.

"Although the garrison in Huainan is not as large as that of Sun Quan, adding the garrison in Xuzhou should be enough. Listening to the Taiwei's words is like turning the clouds into the sun. I will send people to deploy immediately. I don't know if Guan Yu will be fooled. At that time, I will meet in person. He, the Taiwei must go out with me when the time comes..." Cao Pi's expression was serious.

"Uh... my minister is old and sick, so I can only try my best to advise His Majesty..." Jia Xu said in his heart that there are many advisers in the court, so don't just ask me to order you around.

"Haha, I'm joking with the Taiwei. If it's not a last resort, I won't go to the front line in person. Just leave this kind of thing to Wen Lie." Cao Pi smiled leisurely.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and smiled awkwardly, Your Majesty, you must be self-aware, not every monarch is as good at fighting as the first emperor.

A few days later, Cao Pi's edict was passed to Runan, and the prefect Man Chong followed the edict to gather troops and horses. Under the banner of Cao Pi, he headed for Huainan in a mighty way.

After Guan Ping, who was stationed in Xinye, got the news, he immediately sent a fast horse to Xiangyang to report to Guan Yu. According to Xu Shu's suggestion, Guan Yu ordered all the troops to stand still for the time being, and wait for the movement in Huainan before making any calculations.

At the end of September, Ruxuwu.

Tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and horses sharpen their knives and horses. They have assembled here for three months. Weapons, equipment, warships, and food are all in place. Apart from organizing troops to simulate landing and attacking the city, Sun Quan has no intention of taking the initiative to attack at all. There was news of Cao Pi's personal expedition.

Sun Quan's original intention was to return to the rebel general Han Zong, so as to quell the conflict between the Huaisi and Jiangdong factions, but was ruthlessly rejected by the chief minister Cao Ren, so that Sun Quan was caught in a dilemma.

After receiving the news of Cao Pi's imperial conquest, Sun Quan, who had been frowning all day long, finally showed joy, saying that Cao Ren was a very ignorant warrior, and that Cao Pi, as the emperor of Wei, should give our King Wu a face.

It's a pity that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. A few days later, Hu Ke hurried to Ruxuwu, and the first thing he said when he saw Sun Quan was: "Your Majesty, don't be fooled, Cao Pi didn't have a personal conquest..."

Because of the Sima brothers, Hu Ke had special news passing by in the territory of Wei State. After hearing this, Sun Quan was stunned. After a long time, he murmured: "Qing came at the right time. The generals in the dock are clamoring for battle every day. I can't find anyone here to discuss with, but in the current crisis, do you have any good suggestions?"

Chapter 783 The atmosphere is in place and we must fight

"Your Majesty doesn't want to use force, does he?" Hu Ke asked cautiously.

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and raised his eyes, "Cao Pi's son is far worse than his father. He took in Brother Sima for Wei Guo alone and covered up the shocking case of Sima's family being wiped out, but this guy didn't want to send Han Zong back. Gu also sent troops to divert his attention out of desperation, otherwise General Huaisi would have fled..."

"Your Majesty is only King Wu of Wei in name. If he sends Han Zong back for 'friendship', who will flee to Wei with his family in the future? This is equivalent to a bounty for standing trees. Maybe Cao Pi didn't come on purpose. ..." Hu Ke shook his head reminding.

Sun Quan said to himself: "Alas... Gu doesn't know, it's just that Han Zong is too hateful, this guy can make Gu miserable, if he doesn't kill Gu, it won't be enough to anger the common people..."

Hu Ke added: "Your Majesty really wants to return to Han Zong, maybe he can only defeat Wei Jun in Huainan, even if Cao Pi really marches on his own, he may not necessarily hand him over..."

"We don't want to go back to Han Zong for nothing, we can exchange it with Brother Sima." As soon as Sun Quan left his mouth, he realized that his thoughts were naive, and added: "Chen Qun and others have worked so hard to send the two sufferers to me. If you come from Jiangdong, you will probably die unexpectedly when you return to Wei, Cao Pi should not be uncommon..."

"Your Majesty, do you want to start the Huainan War? Please read the letter from Shi Taishou. Maybe his reasons can convince the Jiangdong officials..." Hu Ke retreated and handed Shi Xie's letter over.

Sun Quan held the letter in his hand and sneered: "Didn't Gu read his letter? Shi Xie's scheming of alienation is not clever, and asking me, Jiangdong, to relieve the pressure on the Shi family is tantamount to a dream..."

"My lord, this letter has just been delivered to the general. It is the second letter from the prefect. It seems that the situation in Jiaozhou has changed..." Hu Ke quickly reminded.

"Oh?" Sun Quan hurriedly opened the letter to read it, and then murmured, "It seems that the Shi family is indeed in dire straits. Lantian has decided to send people to take over the two counties of Jiuzhen and Hepu. Shi Xie is now concentrating all the money, food, soldiers and horses in Jiaozhi. , still thinking of procrastinating for time and waiting to join forces with Gu to attack Lantian. Although Zecheng's old master is full of enthusiasm, how can the situation in Huainan be escaped immediately? Besides, the army trapped in the formation is more difficult to deal with than Cao Bing. It's really bad luck. It's a pity ..."

Hu Ke shook his head and added: "Your Majesty, even ten Jiuzhen and Hepu are not as good as one Jiaozhi County. The Shi Taishou has been operating there for decades, and he should still have the strength to fight, but he is now nearly nine years old. Ten years old, he may pass away at any time, and the rest of the scholar family are mediocre, if Jiaozhi is easily taken away by Lantian, the strength of Jiaozhou will be immeasurable..."

"I don't want to see a powerful Jiaozhou, let alone see Lantian gaining power, but now that this is the situation, who else can turn the tide?" Sun Quan smiled wryly.

"My lord, in fact, I will finally think of a way to check and balance Lantian without us sending troops." Hu Ke said in a low voice.

Sun Quan asked in amazement: "Zecheng really has a clever plan? Why don't you tell me quickly?"

Hu Ke said slowly: "Rinan Taishou Yu Fan was originally a minister of the Eastern Wu. He was taken away by bandits in Nanye County that day. For some reason, he went to Jiaozhou to serve as an official. Your Majesty can send someone to tell you about the old kindness and persuade him to return to your Majesty. Under his command, besides, Na Shiqin (Xin) is still in Jiangdong as a hostage, and the general has taken good care of him these years, why not send him back to Longbian to claim his title?"

"Zecheng is really... a genius..." Sun Quan didn't close his mouth for a long time. After Shi Xie and Jiang Dong had a complete fallout, Shi Qian was demoted to a commoner and almost starved to death. It was Hu Ke who rescued him after he arrived. Unexpectedly It has been of great use until now.

Sun Quan was overjoyed at first, but when he calmed down, he suddenly frowned again, "Although Zecheng has subdued Shi Qian, he is still the eldest son of Shi Xie. How could he give up the foundation of the Shi family to Jiangdong?"

"The eldest son is the one who has the most legal inheritance. If the king is still worried about Shiqin, he can send someone close to him to follow him, otherwise this pawn will be completely abandoned..." Hu Ke looked solemn.

"It is reasonable to be honest, you are the most astute under my command..." Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and nodded at Hu Ke. Hu Ke thought he would send me back again, right?The task assigned to me by my husband has not been completed yet.

Sun Quan then shook his head and sighed: "Zecheng is Zhang's son-in-law now, and staying in Jiangdong is far more effective than going to intercourse. Besides, Jiangdong's people are impetuous now, and there are too few people around him. I have to think about who is suitable to send... "

"Shiyan needs to hide his identity and pretend to be a merchant. General Mo once worked for Lantian in Jiaozhou, so he is easily recognized by others, so it is safer to choose someone. It is best to be someone who is important and capable in the clan. Guarantee that the other party will be loyal to the king after he goes out..." Hu Ke finally let go of his hanging heart. His last words were intended to deceive a capable person from the Sun family clan. Anyway, in the end Shiqian will be controlled by Song Chen when he arrives in Guangzhou, and then he will become Lantian. Take Cochin Gloves.

Sun Quan's most trusted prince is Sun Deng, but he can't let his heir take risks, and Sun Deng is only 13 years old at this time, and the adult man also has Sun Ce's son Sun Shao. pass.

In the end, Sun Quan remembered Sun Bu, the accompanying bodyguard. This person was a refugee boy adopted by Sun Quan in Lujiang when Sun Quan accompanied Sun Ce to attack Liu Xun in the early years of Jian'an. His name was given by Sun Quan.

"Gu has already thought of a suitable candidate. Let him and Zecheng return to Jianye in a while. We must arrange for them to go to Jiaozhou as soon as possible. As for the Huainan battlefield now..." Sun Quan instructed.

"My lord, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Whether it is war or peace, we should make a quick decision. In fact, the generals just need to have an attitude. No matter how big or small a war is, they can transfer the contradictions..." Hu Ke continued to advise.

"Zecheng, go back to Jianye first. Someone will meet you when you get on the boat. The battle in Huainan is up to you..." Sun Quan waved his hand lightly.

"Take care, Your Majesty, I will leave at the end." Hu Ke cupped his fists and turned to leave.
