In the military conference hall, everyone was looking at the sand table in wonder.
Lu Peng had spent more than half a year getting people to travel around the area and draw countless topographic drawings. He had also gone through the skillful hands of a craftsman before he could make this.
"This item is truly exquisite. The mountains, rivers, and city terrain are all visible. It is truly an exquisite divine item for the militarists.”Xun You clapped and praised.
Guo Jia also said respectfully,"My lord, you really have a beautiful mind and are omnipotent."”
Lu Peng was already used to being flattered by others, but being flattered by these wise men was still quite satisfying. He chuckled and said,"There's no need for that. Now that our army is facing Tao Qian and Yuan Shu at the same time, what do you think?”
"Yuan Shu is just bluffing. He is now an enemy of Liu Biao and Cao Cao. How can he have the strength to provoke us?”Xun Youxian pointed out.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Xun You said,""Tao Qian is eager to give it a try, but Feng Xiao also said that this person's power is loose and can be settled in one battle.”
"Although Bian Rang is incompetent, his reputation is quite high," Guo Jia said calmly. Tao Qian had imprisoned him, and the people of Jiujiang were unstable. It was a good time to take action.”
Lu Peng was deep in thought. He turned to Xun Yu and said,""Why is Wen Ruo so silent?"
Xun Yu pondered for a moment and cupped his hands.""Dare I ask, my lord, if our army is to expand, do you want to take the north or the south first?”
As a strategist, Xun Yu's focus had always been different from Guo Jia and Xun You. Lu Peng stood up and looked at the sand table slowly moving. He said lightly,""I don't want to get involved in the chaotic battle of the Central Plains. We'll first pacify the South, then we'll take over the Central Plains.”
Xun Yu nodded." If that's the case, then we must not only take Jiujiang, but we must also make Tao Gongzu afraid. We must make him stop coveting River East. This will make things much smoother for our army." However, Tao Qian probably doesn't dare to fight with our army for now.”
Lu Peng nodded. He pondered for a while and ordered,""Order Jiang Gongyi to march straight to Hefei, and Lu Zijing to station troops in Runan to guard against Yuan Shu.”
Although he expected Yuan Shu to not dare to come, he still had to be on guard.
Jiang Qin was overjoyed when he received the order. He had been idle for two years and dreamed of killing enemies and making contributions.
Although he was now the commander of an army, his military position was not high. He immediately gathered the army excitedly and marched east.
Liu Ye, as the military advisor, went with him. Although this army had not been trained for a long time, everyone was brave and full of fighting spirit. Soon, they entered Jiujiang.
Zang Ba's 30,000 soldiers were in formation, and the distance between the two armies was less than a hundred miles.
The next day, the scouts reported that Zang Ba's army had actually disappeared!
Jiang Qin and Liu Ye thought that the other party had some tricks up their sleeves, so they were very cautious. They carefully investigated while slowly advancing.
Unexpectedly, they soon received a tip-off that the city behind Zang Ba was in civil strife. The wealthy families in the city had killed all of Tao Qian's men, occupied the city, and sent messengers to invite Jiang Qin and the others into the city.
Jiang Qin and Liu Ye looked at each other with strange expressions.
Liu Ye recalled the incident of Zheng Bao in Chaohu that day and immediately smiled.""Our lord's reputation is precisely that of a soldier who can subdue others without fighting. He can be said to be the best of the best.”
Jiang Qin laughed dryly, but in his heart, he was thinking, how are we going to make any contributions if we all come like this? He immediately had a headache.
Zang Ba had made a stance in Hefei City to attack the city, but the city was not frightened. They closed their doors and defended. Jiang Qin's army followed closely behind. How could he really dare to attack? He could only lead the army in the direction of Jiujiang.
Sun Shiwan, who had been fighting for his entire life, fell into Lu Peng's arms.
He was a little surprised when he heard the news, so he brought Zhou Tai and the others to Hefei to appease the people.
When they arrived at Hefei City, the commoners cheered along the streets like they did in Lujiang City. Many of them were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.
Jiujiang was next to Lujiang, and there were countless people migrating to the side. It was not strange for them to welcome him so warmly.
There were even bold girls running out from the crowd, offering wreaths with red faces.
His 100 points of Charm gave him an extraordinary appearance and temperament. In addition to his legendary character, he was regarded as a savior by the people. Naturally, he was the hero in the hearts of the girls. The legend of Lu Langjun had long spread among the boudoirs, and there were even people who made a fortune by selling his portraits.
Since Diao Chan and Zhao Ji weren't around, Lu Peng enjoyed the girls 'enthusiasm.
The heads of the major aristocratic families in Hefei respectfully welcomed him into the city guard's residence. Lu Peng sat down in the middle and glanced at these people. He smiled and said,"Don't you know the situation under my rule?”
He found it strange. Although he did not deliberately target the aristocratic families, when his policies were implemented, it would naturally form a situation of suppression. Otherwise, those people in Lujiang would not have wanted to cause trouble twice. Why did these people still unite to welcome him?
Tao Qian's popularity couldn't be that bad, right?
