Sun Jian took the letter from the soldier's hand and opened it with a hint of curiosity.

After only watching for a moment, Sun Jian couldn't help but raise his brows.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Sun Ce didn't know why, so he quickly whispered to Sun Jian: "Father, what did General Huang say in the letter?"

Sun Jian turned around and looked around to make sure that there was no one from Liu Yao around. Sun Jian lowered his voice and said to Sun Jian: "This is a letter from Huang Gai. My precious son-in-law, your good brother-in-law, did not disappoint me this time." , he has led his troops to conquer Wan County."

"how can that be?"

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Father, there are 5000 defenders in Wan County, and the one stationed in Wan County is Yuan Shu's general Liu Sandao. Wei Kun only has 3000 men, even if Liu Sandao brings more than 1 pigs to defend Anhui County, it will not be easy for Wei Kun to take Wan County."

Sun Jian waved his hand towards Sun Ce proudly, and then handed Huang Gai's letter to Sun Ce.

While Sun Ce lowered his head to read the letter, Sun Jian stretched out his hand to touch his beard and said with a smile: "A Taoist priest once told me that Shang Xiang will be great when she grows up. From that time on, I knew that your sister Shang Xiang would be great in the future. We will definitely be able to help our Sun family create greater glory."

"Now it seems that your sister has really good taste and has found a good son-in-law for me."

After Sun Ce read the letter, he carefully closed it and handed it to Sun Jian's hand again.

"Father, General Huang has always been prudent in his work. He should not lie, deceive, or boast. Now it seems that Wei Kun's military strength should be better than mine."

"Cer, I don't allow you to call your brother-in-law by his first name in the future."

Sun Ce frowned slightly.

He smiled bitterly in his heart.

Are you about to fall out of favor?

"Father, we can now follow the second step of our plan."

Sun Jian nodded lightly and said, "Let's go, let's go find Liu Yao now."

Sun Jian and Sun Ce soon met Liu Yao.

After the two sides exchanged polite greetings, Sun Jian went straight to the point and said: "Liu Governor, I have good news for you. Our three thousand troops took advantage of Liu Sandao's carelessness and underestimated the enemy, and they have captured Wan County."

Sun Jian's words made Liu Yao raise his eyebrows.

Liu Yao suddenly felt joyful in his heart.

The Jiujiang County and Lujiang County that he lost were finally lost and recovered.

Sun Jian glanced at Liu Yao, and then said: "After careful consideration, I finally feel that Liu's previous suggestions are advisable. I am willing to assist Liu Yao in taking Yuzhou."

Upon hearing Sun Jian's words, Liu Yao quickly took a step forward and reached out to grab Sun Jian's wrist.

"Wentai, you finally figured it out. Hahaha, I already knew that you would definitely obey me."

"Well, Governor Liu was right before. Yuan Shu is a man who wants to gain fame, and none of his men can fight. If we don't take Yuzhou, we will sooner or later gain the advantage of others."

Liu Yao nodded in agreement and asked: "Wentai, I know that you are both civil and military. I wonder if you have any clever ideas that can help me win Yuzhou."

After hearing Liu Yao's words, Sun Jian thought for a moment and said to Liu Yao: "We will change our route to Wan County now, and then march out of Lujiang County. While Yuan Shu does not know that Wan County has been lost, we will cover our ears with lightning speed. With this momentum, we invaded Yuzhou."

Liu Yao reached out and touched his chin, then nodded slightly.

If Yangzhou wants to counterattack Yuzhou, it really needs to send troops from Lujiang County to the north. Because the Huaihe River blocks Jiujiang County and Yuzhou.

If Yuan Shu gets the news and deploys troops on the Huai River in advance, he can easily block the Yangzhou army's advance.

When Liu Yao nodded, Sun Jian said from the side: "If Liu Yao can trust me, I will lead the troops to attack Yuzhou. Liu Yao can lead the troops to Liyang City and set up a defense line in Jiujiang County to prevent Yuan Shu from counterattack."

Sun Jian's words made Liu Yao frown involuntarily.

Sun Jian wanted to lead troops into Yuzhou alone, which made Liu Yao instinctively feel that something was wrong.

So after thinking for a while, Liu Yao said to Sun Jian: "How can I just watch Wentai lead his troops to take risks alone?"

"How about this? I will personally lead the troops to station in Wan County together with Wentai, and then march north together to attack Yuzhou. Liyang City can be left to Zhou Yi and Wu Jing to lead the troops to defend it."

Liu Yao's words made Sun Jian feel happy.

Sun Jian was completely using retreat to advance.

Sun Jian's real purpose was to take Liu Yao to Wan County, kill Liu Yao, recruit Liu Yao's troops, and quickly control Yangzhou.

What Sun Jian didn't expect was that Liu Yao actually ordered Zhou Yi and Wu Jing to lead troops to Liyang City.

Zhou Yi and Wu Jing are now Sun Jian's people. This way, Sun Jian has one less thing to worry about when he kills Liu Yao.

"Hahaha, God helped me too."

Sun Jian thought so in his heart, but pretended to be a little embarrassed on his face.

"But the grain and grass stored in Anhui County can only support 4 people at most. This time we attack Yuzhou, the troops are very fast. If Liu Governor leads too many soldiers and horses into Wan County, I am worried that there will be problems with the grain and grass supply."

When Sun Jian finished speaking, Liu Yao's general Fan Neng said at the side: "In this case, General Sun might as well keep 2 people and we will send 3..."

"To shut up!"

Before Fan Neng finished speaking, Liu Yao turned around and glared at Fan Neng fiercely.

This guy is tall and thick and has no wisdom in his brain.

By asking Sun Jian to leave 2 people in Yangzhou, wouldn't it mean that he would be handing over his own retreat to Sun Jian?

In addition, attacking Yuzhou can just consume Sun Jian's strength and preserve our own strength.

Therefore, Liu Yao was eager for Sun Jian to lead all 3 men into Yuzhou.

After Fan Neng closed his mouth in anger, Liu Yao said to Sun Jian: "Wentai, I will lead [-] elite troops to follow you into Wan County. The remaining troops will be handed over to Wu Jinghe, whom I trust most. Zhou Yi. Let Wu Jing and Zhou Yi lead the remaining troops and serve as our reserve team. I wonder what you will do next?"

Liu Yao's words made Sun Jian feel happy again.

But on the surface, Sun Jian pretended to be a little embarrassed, "But if this happens..."

Before Sun Jian could finish speaking, Liu Yao grabbed Sun Jian's wrist again, "Wentai, don't you still trust me? I can assure you that as long as you help me destroy Yuzhou, I will not treat you badly. When we return victorious in the future, I can even become brothers with different surnames and share the world with you."

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Seeing Sun Jian nodding, Liu Yao could not help but sneer in his heart.

"Haha, Sun Jian is also a reckless man, and he can be easily manipulated by me!"
