Lujiang Wancheng, the current seat of Lujiang.
Two young men in the prefect's mansion were drinking together, they were about the same age as Liu Mang, but now they are the commanders-in-chief of an army of more than ten thousand, and one of them even swept across Jiangdong, sitting in several cities. Hard to beat.
Moreover, all his sites were laid down by himself, and his father died early and left him nothing at all.
"Gongjin, what do you mean that Lu Bu's army is approaching Lujiang every day?!" It is impossible to hide the movements of Lu Bu's army. An army of ten thousand people, led by cavalry, is a terrifying force wherever it is placed. The princes will deal with it carefully, cavalry can travel hundreds of miles in a day, and it will be a joke if they are approached by other soldiers at the city.
There was a trace of worry on Sun Ce's face. Although he had put down Wuyue and the solidity of the Three Rivers, he did not dare to underestimate Lu Bu. This is a figure who became famous before his father, a god of war who dared to charge into battle with a horse and a weapon in his hand.
Few people who underestimated Lu Bu will end well. Dong Zhuo underestimated Lu Bu, thinking he had surrendered Lu Bu, and was stabbed to death by Lu Bu. Cao Cao underestimated Lu Bu and almost lost his lair in Yanzhou. Liu Xuande After seeing Lu Bu, he immediately handed Xuzhou over to others.
Sun Ce thought he was very strong, but he couldn't face Lu Bu head-on, as the loss would be too great.
"Bo Fu, why worry so much!" Zhou Yu said, what a handsome gentleman, with a feather fan, a scarf, and a heroic figure, what seemed very distressing to Sun Ce, but to Zhou Yu, it could be solved in an instant.
"Oh, what does Gong Jin teach me!" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are friends of the president, and they are very familiar with each other as brothers, so seeing Zhou Yu's casual appearance, he knew that Zhou Yu had a plan and said hastily.
"Bo Fu, the arrival of Lu Bu's army is not only harmless but also very beneficial to us!" Zhou Yu said with a smile. He is a big brother with great ambitions and a very charming personality, but he is just a little anxious.
"The purpose of Lu Bu's army's whereabouts is unknown, how can it be beneficial to our army?!" Sun Ce was puzzled, he finally calmed down Wu Yue, but he didn't want to rush out a tiger to grab the territory with him at this time.
"Near Lujiang, either Wuyue, or cross Lujiang and go down to Jiangxia and go to Jingzhou! In the land of Wuyue, you and I have just settled down, and the people's hearts are in favor. Wuyue has many waterways, and there are many cavalry in Lu Bu's army, most of whom are from the north. Before crossing the river, there may be fierce tigers, but Once it crosses the river, it will be a sick cat!" Zhou Yu slowly analyzed it to Sun Ce.
To compete for the land of Wuyue requires a powerful navy, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch on the river east where the ditches are criss-crossing, so it is impossible for Lu Bu to seize Wuyue.
The only thing left is to cross the Lujiang River and go down to Jiangxia, so Zhou Yu said firmly, "This Marquis Lu Wen is here to borrow the way!"
Sure enough, before Zhou Yu finished speaking, the guards came to report that Lu Bujun's envoys had arrived in the city, and the cartloads of jewels they had brought were worth three thousand gold, and they said they wanted to borrow a way.
"Three thousand gold to borrow?!" Sun Ce was a little moved. He has the land of Wuyue, and there are too many places to spend money. The navy and army need to be built, and the people need to be appeased. The three thousand gold can be regarded as a huge sum of money. up.
"Gongjin, shall we borrow a way?!" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with twinkling eyes. Of course he knew that he had to borrow a way. It would be no good for anyone to block Lu Bu in Lujiang without borrowing. Once Lu Bu is unhappy, attack Lujiang. The fun will be big.
"Borrow!" Zhou Yu expressed Sun Ce's most desired idea, as long as he borrowed three thousand gold, he would not be able to escape. Just as Sun Ce was about to be happy, Zhou Yu's next sentence ruined Sun Ce's good mood.
"We not only need to borrow, but also to borrow a lot. In order to show the friendship between our Jiangdong army and Lu Bu army, we don't want any of the three thousand gold, and we even send someone to guide Lu Bu's army so that they can reach Jiangxia smoothly! By the way Tell the envoy of Lu Bu's army that the Jiangdong Army has prepared hot food to comfort the soldiers of Marquis Wen." Zhou Yu said after drinking a glass of wine.
"Ah!" The three thousand pieces of gold that Sun Ce was about to get were about to disappear with a word from Zhou Yu, and he wanted to send a guide? Want some hot food? There are tens of thousands of Lu Bu's army. Isn't my virtuous brother sick? How much food and grass does this cost.
Seeing his elder brother's stingy look, Zhou Yu wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he could only explain patiently, "Three thousand gold, guides, and hot food are a lot, but if these can be compared with Jiang Xia and the whole Jingzhou , that’s simply too cheap!”
"Jiangxia Jingzhou!" Sun Ce's eyebrows were filled with a murderous look. Sun Ce had a lot of hatred for Jiangxia Jingzhou. His father, Sun Jian, died under Jiangxia Huangzu's hands, and the person who issued this order It was Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, so Sun Jian always wanted to fight to Jingzhou to avenge his father.
"Gongjin can really win Jiangxia Jingzhou?!" Sun Jian said with red eyes.
"Jingzhou is hard to say, but Jiangxia must!" Zhou Yu gave Sun Jian this answer.
"Jiangxia Huangzu!" This own father-killing enemy "Okay, I'm going to prepare a food dinner. Tonight we will meet this God of War Lu Fengxian in Wancheng!" Sun Ce's eyes sharpened, he is the little overlord of Jiangdong, He is extremely conceited when it comes to martial arts. Now that a person known as the God of War is here, how can he not feel itchy.
Seeing the turmoil, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu smiled wryly and shook his head, "My lord, is there joy, anger, sorrow, and joy on his face? I don't know if the superior should be angry without saying anything, and be strict without being majestic!" This kind of frankness is what really attracts me, isn't it!

"General!" Cheng Yu clasped his fists at Liu Mang and said, "We are about to arrive in Shucheng!"
"Yeah!" Liu Mang nodded. He is now the vanguard of the entire Lu Bu Army, and the number of troops has increased to 3,000. Except for the soldiers of the urban management army who died in battle, Liu Mang took the rest of those who dared to charge that day. All the heavy battalions were unified and joined the city management army. Lu Bu allocated another 300 horses to Liu Mang, plus 2,700 infantry. It can be said that now the city management army has really taken shape and can take charge of its own.
Lu Bu made Liu Mang a vanguard and also had a tendency to let Liu Mang train troops.
"Let the messenger tell Father-in-law that we will go first!" Shu County is now under Sun Ce's command, and passing through Shu County should at least say hello, otherwise it would be tantamount to directly attacking the city.
Three hundred cavalry quickly got on their horses and galloped towards Shu County, while the 2,700 infantry behind them also moved forward slowly.
"Is this Shucheng?!" In front of Liu Mang is an ancient city. Although the people here are sparsely populated like Shouchun, they are a little more angry, yes! Just angry, there is a kind of hope to live in the eyes of the people at the city gate.
"Enemy, enemy!" Before the three hundred cavalry approached the city gate, the gate of Shucheng was slowly closed, and some people who had no time to leave were blocked outside the gate, shouting and panicking.
In troubled times, it is always the people who are suffering in troubled times. Liu Mang asked the cavalry squad of the city management army to guide the people under the city gate to a safe place.
Before he had time to shout, there were people who looked like officials on the city shouting, "Under the city is Lu Wenhou's part! In the next Zhou Yi, he is now the head of Shucheng. My master Sun Ce has already known the arrival of Wenhou. He is very welcome. He is especially in Wancheng. Set up a banquet to wait for Marquis Wen's arrival!" Lujiang Shucheng, where the Zhou family is located, Zhou Yi can be regarded as a member of the Zhou family, and he is Zhou Yu's elder brother.
From Shucheng to Wancheng, if it is fast, you only need to pass Shiting to get there. It takes two days, but it is getting late now, and the army needs to be stationed.
"Master Zhou, your lord, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, are already famous. I am also very grateful for his warm hospitality. I am Liu Mang and Liu Hanyang. I am the vanguard of our army. It is getting late. Our army hopes to stay at the edge of Shucheng." one night.
It is impossible to enter the city. Now this is Sun Ce's territory. It would be nice if they let you go. You can only stay on the edge of Shucheng for one night.
After passing Shucheng is Shiting, which is a dangerous place. Those who guard Shiting get the Lujiang River.
"Liu Mang, Liu Han Yang?!" The world is in chaos. Although Xu Du is where Emperor Han resides, government orders cannot leave Xu Du, so it is difficult for Liu Mang's reputation to spread.
Camping against the city, each other's horns, was originally done by friendly forces or allies. Although Lu Bu's army and Sun Ce's army were not friendly forces, Zhou Yi's order was to agree to all Lu Bu's requests except for entering the city.
"In this way, Zhou Yi should prepare hot food in the city, and the general can be stationed there!" There is not much food and grass in Shucheng, and the army may run out in one meal.
"And hot food? So good?!" Liu Mang frowned. It was not easy for the army to be stationed at the edge of the city, because once there was a strange heart and the city was attacked at night, the city would be hard to protect. Now there is still food. What exactly is Sun Ce planning
