Two years later.
Spring, the first day of the first lunar month.
Lu Su's ship docked near Juchao.
At this moment.
Sun Ce was already in Juchao.
Ever since they set off from Shouchun last year, when the army arrived here.
He relied on his reputation to gather more than five thousand soldiers.
In the commander's tent.
The generals did not have the joy of the new year.
Lu Su explained the details of Pengze Camp clearly.
Ten thousand soldiers.
Wang Xiong personally took charge.
No matter which news it was, it was terrifying.
"Bo Fu."
"Gongjin."
Lu Su persuaded," The Red Cliff Army cannot be broken. Pengze Camp is even more guarded. Otherwise, why would they station their troops along the river? It's obvious that they have long thought of the possibility of being attacked!”
"Ten thousand soldiers."
"Zijing, did you see Wang Zhengnan?" Zhou Yu asked with a gloomy expression.”
"Yes."
Lu Su nodded.
"I heard that this person is also young and heroic?" Sun Ce frowned.”
"Yes, I am."
Lu Su's pupils constricted and he said in fear," This person is magnificent and resourceful. His majesty is like a prison. He is like an emperor that cannot be looked at directly. You really shouldn't have landed in River East in Yuzhang!"”
"Heh."
Huang Gai sneered.
Cheng Pu also laughed angrily." Back then, when the First Lord was in charge of Changsha, his father, Wang Meng, was as afraid of us as a tiger. Now, a yellow-haired child can be called heroic?”
"General!"
Lu Su could not help but call out.
Cheng Pu raised his hand and said," Mr. Zijing, you are a scholar and merchant. It is difficult for you to resist the ferocity of the mountain bandits. We will not mock you. However, no matter how large the Red Cliff Army is, they are just pirates who have failed to become a military force. They cannot stop us!"”
"Hey."
Lu Su sighed helplessly.
"Bo Fu."
Zhou Yu said solemnly.
Sun Ce shook his head and said firmly," The water bandits are strong. Liu Yao's army will definitely be stronger. We have five thousand soldiers under our command. Why should we fear the Red Cliff Army?"”
"That's true."
Zhou Yu's brows relaxed.
"Brother Zijing."
Sun Ce raised his head and said," At the end of the month, you will send four other ships. I will hide a vanguard in the cabin, and the army will follow closely behind. As long as the vanguard lands, my army will be able to cross the river and attack Red Cliff's camp!”
"Bo Fu."
"You have to think twice."
Lu Su advised sincerely.
"No need."
Sun Ce stood up and looked at the generals. He said resolutely,"This is the best opportunity. If we can't land in River East, it will be even more difficult to fight in Pill Sun!”
"Fine."
Lu Su sighed.
Now, they could only place their hopes on Sun Ce's valiant martial strength.
Furthermore, Sun Jian's former subordinates were all strong soldiers who were good at water battles, so they might not be weaker than the Red Cliff Army!
The battle was confirmed.
Sun Ce's soldiers also began to build ships.
The conquest of Jiangdong this time was not for Yuan Shu to conquer the world, but to build his own foundation. Everyone was putting in all their effort to practice water warfare.
In spring, everything grew.
However, the killing intent in River East was boiling.
Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, who were stationed in Changsha, were also discussing how to use troops.
In the blink of an eye.
Several days passed.
The battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Yao also began in Hengjiang.
Wu County.
Qu 'a, on the city tower.
Liu Yao's long robe billowed in the spring breeze.
"Prefecture Overseer."
Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun, boarded the tower.
"Yes."
Liu Yao replied softly.
On the side, Xu Shao persuaded," Prefecture Overseer Liu, the battle along the river is under the control of Generals Zhang Ying and Fan Neng. It's useless for us to worry in Qua."”
"No."
Liu Yao turned around and looked at the people behind him. He said with a complicated expression,""There's news from the court that Li and Guo are already fighting in the open, and the emperor is being humiliated. The hussars general, Zhu Xi, has sent a letter asking me to think of a way to rescue Zhu Hao!”
"Chaos."
Xu Shao sighed helplessly.
Zhu Hao had fallen into the hands of the Red Cliff Army, so it was easier said than done to rescue him.
If it was an ordinary dukedom, they might have easily released him on account of Zhu Rong.
However, they all knew that the Red Cliff Army was born out of the remnants of the Yangzhou Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army had a blood feud with Zhu Rong.
"Ziyang."
Liu Yao looked at a youth in plain clothes.
"Uncle."
Liu Ye stepped forward and said respectfully.
Liu Yao looked at Pengze and said in a deep voice,"Last year, you asked me to withdraw my troops from Yuzhang. Sun Bofu indeed stationed his troops and had the intention of crossing east to Pengze. Do you have a way to save Zhu Hao?”
"Difficult."
Liu Ye smiled bitterly.
Liu Yao's eyes lit up and he asked," It's difficult. It's not impossible, right?"”
"Not bad."
Liu Ye nodded.
Liu Yao's mind was heavy. He explained," Zhu Hao came to Yangzhou as a hub to unite with Zhu Fu of Jiaozhi. He came to help me fight against Yuan Shu. I owe a favor to General Zhu, so Zhu Hao must be saved. Do you understand?"”
"Uncle."
" Right now, we can only meet Wang Zhengnan before the war breaks out and ask him to state his conditions," Liu Ye said with a complicated expression." Once the war in Yuzhang breaks out, Zhu Hao will be a captive of the Red Cliff Army and may be recruited as the vanguard of the death squads!”
"Yes."
Liu Yao's heart trembled.
"As officials of the imperial court, we are going to beg a traitor?" Xu Gong said unhappily.”
"What else?"
Liu Ye said with a bright gaze.
"Who's going?"
Liu Yao's gaze swept across the civil and military officials on the city tower.
Xu Shao, the famous scholar, Xu Gong, the prefect, and Taishi Ci, the general, were all eloquent.
"Me?"
Liu Ye's expression instantly collapsed.
It was as if he had dug a huge pit for himself.
In the huge Prefecture Overseer Estate, there was actually not a single talent that could be sent as an envoy.
