"Sun Jian actually dares to hide the jade seal? He dared to do such a treasonous thing? How long had he been gone? I'll chase after him immediately!"
Chu Huan was secretly delighted.
X Literature Station, oh X Literature Station, I've made ample preparations for your mistake this time. You really didn't disappoint me!
Seeing that Chu Huan was willing to send troops, Yuan Shao answered excitedly,""Brother is indeed an important minister of the Great Han Dynasty, your loyalty is evident. That Sun Jian just left not long ago, so he should be able to catch up. I'll leave everything to you!”
As for Yuan Shao, he was also scheming in his heart.
Now, the strongest people in the east of the country are me, Yuan Shao, my brother Yuan Shu, and you, Chu Huan and Sun Jian from the south of the Yangtze River. With the two of you fighting, the east of the country will become the world of my Yuan family. It's time for someone else to sit on the dragon throne of the Great Han Dynasty!
"It's not too late. I'll gather my troops and set off now.”
After leaving the commander's tent, he immediately ordered his soldiers to set off. At the same time, he ordered the messenger to report to Kuai Yue and Huang Zhong.
....
On the road to the south, an army was rushing forward.
Cheng Pu saw that his lord Sun Jian was frowning and unhappy. He asked," What is troubling you, my lord? Could it be because of the jade seal?"
Han Dang casually explained," What's there to worry about? The jade seal was obtained by my lord, so it must be the will of heaven. My lord should be happy!”
Sun Jian's brows were still tightly furrowed as he sighed." A man is innocent, but he will be punished if he holds a treasure! One had to have the strength to protect this treasure! I've been feeling uneasy recently. I don't know if something bad will happen.”
"As long as we reach Jiangdong, who else can do anything to my lord?" Han Dang said indifferently. My lord, you don't have to worry!"
"That's right. As long as I return to River East, who can do anything to me? Gongfu, hurry back to Jiujiang and organize the soldiers in the city to receive us! Anyone who dares to block me will die!"
"This subordinate will go now!"
At the same time, Xinye.
"Lord Kuai, the Provincial Governor has sent an urgent order.”
Kuai Yue took the warrant and opened it to read carefully.
In another way, Sun Jian of Jiujiang has hidden the jade seal. Immediately gather your troops and set up an ambush on Bowang Slope outside Xinye City to block Sun Jian's way south. The rest of you wait at the top of the slope to prepare arrows and fire. If you don't surrender, kill them all.
Also, set up checkpoints on Yushui and other roads south, temporarily confiscate all ships on both sides of Yushui, and prohibit anyone from passing through in the name of suppressing bandits and rebellions. No matter what method you use, force Sun Jian to go to Xinye Bowang Slope.
Kuai Yue withdrew his hand and waved the messenger away. He could not help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. Could it be that his lord could really know the past and the future…
Jiangxia.
"General, the Provincial Governor has sent an urgent order.”
Huang Zhong eagerly took the warrant. He had been waiting for this day ever since he received the order to prepare for war.
Hansheng, Sun Jian has hidden the jade seal and is up to no good. Split your forces into two groups and order Gan Ning to lead 5,000 troops up the Shuo River to support my army returning south. Bring your main force to Jiujiang and capture the entire family of the prefect Sun Jian. Kill all those who resist. After capturing the rebels, leave troops to guard them. I will appoint you as the prefect of Jiujiang.
....
"Report, Sun Jian's troops have arrived at Nanyang, half a day's journey from our army.”The scouts rushed over to report.
"I know! He had to scout again and grasp their whereabouts at any time.”Half a day's journey! Now, the key was how to drive Sun Jian, the tiger, into the cage.
"All troops, speed up and advance south along the Yin of the Yu River.”
Sun Jian's troops.
"My lord, the ships along the Yushui River have been recruited to transport supplies for the troops that are suppressing the rebels!”Cheng Pu rushed back helplessly.
"What is it? Oh right, he had heard that Jiangnan Shanyue was rebelling last time. However, Chu Huan's subordinates were really useless. It had been a few months, and the small bandit problem had not been pacified. Since they couldn't take the water route, they should take the land route. They had to speed up the march!”
The messenger had just left when a horse galloped over, panting heavily as it reported," General, we've discovered an army of about 20,000 soldiers following us for half a day. The banner is that of Pingnan General, Jingzhou Governor Chu Huan.”
Sun Jian was puzzled." How is that possible? Did he see it clearly? Is the flag really Chu Huan?"
The scout answered with certainty," Indeed! I definitely didn't see wrongly!"
Cheng Pu muttered to himself in confusion," Didn't Chu Huan go after Dong Zhuo? Why are you returning to the south so soon?"
Sun Jian pondered for a moment before he suddenly woke up.
"Not good, Chu Huan must have been ordered by Yuan Shao to chase after us. Pass down the order to pay close attention to the movements of the army behind them. At the same time, quickly find out if there is a ferry or shallow water ahead for the army to cross the river.”
Han Dang saw how nervous Sun Jian was and said casually," That Chu Huan might not be here to chase us. Even if he is, so what? He doesn't have as many troops as we do. Moreover, the bandits haven't been pacified yet, so he can't spare too many troops to deal with us. If we really force him into a fight, we might be able to kill him.”
Sun Jian shook his head and said," A man of great reputation is not an empty one. Even Lu Bu, who was so powerful in front of Tiger Cage Pass, would run away when he saw Chu Qingyan. Moreover, this is his territory. If we fight him here, even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses. I'm afraid we won't be able to return to River East by then. It's better to be careful!"”
"Sigh, this is why I wanted to scout the horse just now to see if there was a place to cross the river ahead. As long as we cross the river, no matter if he's coming to chase us or not, we just need to use a small number of troops to stop him from crossing the river.”
Cheng Puhan was suddenly enlightened after hearing this. He shouted in unison," This subordinate is ignorant. Your Majesty is really wise!”
Sun Jian shook his head and looked into the distance, his thoughts drifting with the wind.
With Chu Qingyan in Jiangnan, their future days would not be easy.
