"Don't you know that Sun Jian and Yuan Shu are like fire and water?”
Hearing Xu Gong's suggestion to invite Yuan Shu, Sheng Xian frowned and said,"
"If Sun Jian finds out that I dared to write a book for Yuan Gonglu, I'm afraid he'll destroy us first!”
"I won't!"
Xu Gong smiled and said,"
"Sun Jian doesn't have the chance!"
As he spoke, a smug look appeared on his face.
"I won't hide it from Milord. Before I came, I had already thought of this matter!”
"The reason why I chose Yuan Shu is because he has a grudge against Sun Jian!”
"Now that Yuan Gonglu's army has arrived in Yuzhou, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The Yuan Family has four generations of three dukes and is famous throughout the world. How can Sun Jian compare to him?”
"Therefore, in my opinion, as long as our army sends a letter to Yuan Shu stating the pros and cons, he will definitely attack Jiujiang County!”
"Sun Jian's main force is still in River East, and if we can't return in a hurry, Jiujiang will definitely fall!”
"At that time, even if Sun Jian finds out that our army contacted Yuan Shu, he won't have the chance to return and attack our army!”
"In that case, when General Yuan goes south, our army will send troops north.”
"At that time, it won't be him hitting us, but us hitting him!”
"As long as our army holds Sun Jian back and attacks him from the north and south together with General Yuan, Sun Jian won't be defeated!”
"Our army is sending troops to restrain Sun Jian?"
Hearing Xu Gong's words, Sheng Xian frowned and fell into deep thought again.
Seeing this, Xu Gong smiled and said,
"Prefectural Governor, this plan of mine actually doesn't do any harm to our army!”
"What do you mean by that?"
Sheng Xian immediately looked at Xu Gong.
When Xu Gong heard this, he said proudly,"
"Because this plan is so secretive that Sun Jian won't find out!”
"Governor, think about it. Our army is the only one among the four counties that replied to Sun Jian!”
"In the letter, it has already been stated that it is because bandits are blocking the way that the county governor is unable to advance north!”
"Sun Jian is fighting in Dan Yang, and it has nothing to do with our army.”
"As long as our army doesn't send troops, then Sun Jian has no reason to blame us!”
"How about this, if we send troops, our army will respond. If Yuan Shu doesn't send troops, then it won't be too late for our army to surrender!”
As he spoke, he smiled at Sheng Xian."
"Governor, it's already too late for us to surrender now. Why not wait a few more months instead of being captured?”
"It's the same outcome for both sides!"
"I see!"
Sheng Xian nodded again.
According to what Xu Gong said, the risk of this plan was actually not very high!
Sun Jian wouldn't notice. Just like what Xu Gong had said earlier, it didn't matter if he voted early or late, so he might as well wait!
If Yuan Shu didn't send troops, then Sun Jian wouldn't be able to find out!
If Yuan Shu sent out his troops, then Sun Jian wouldn't have any problems discovering it!
However, after thinking for a while, he frowned and said,
"We can use this plan, but if we wait any longer, I'm afraid Sun Jian will force us to take down the bandits!”
"Right now, Yan Baihu only has 10,000 soldiers under his command. We can use this as an excuse for a short period of time, but if this continues for a long time, Sun Jian will definitely hate us!”
However, what he did not expect was that Xu Gong smiled again when he heard this.
"This lowly one has long been worried about your words!”
"I was just about to talk to Milord!"
"In my opinion, Yan Baihu doesn't have enough soldiers. It's a bit far-fetched for our army to use this as an excuse!”
"Why don't we secretly fund that Yan Baihu's seven or eight thousand people!”
"This way, Yan Baihu will have 20,000 soldiers!”
"With this as an excuse, Sun Jian probably won't be able to find a reason to refute!”
"What did you say?"
When Sheng Xian heard this, his eyes widened."
"You want me to sponsor that bandit?"
"This is definitely not possible!"
"I am an official of the Imperial Court. How can I collude with bandits!”
"Lord, that was then and that is now!”
Seeing this, Xu Gong quickly guided her,
"Actually, I've already persuaded Yan Baihu to surrender. He already has the intention to surrender to our army!”
"It's just that I want to use him as an excuse now, so I didn't ask him to surrender!”
"It can be said that he is already one of us!”
"You even persuaded Yan Baihu to surrender?"
Hearing this, Sheng Xian glared at him and said,"
"When did you do this?"
"Yesterday!"
When Xu Gong heard this, he quickly said seriously,
"Yesterday, I left the city to do this!”
"Not only that, in order to show his sincerity, Yan Baihu has already asked his brother Yan Yu to submit a letter of surrender!”
"Right now, that Yan Yu is outside the residence. If you don't believe me, I can invite him to meet you!”
"This... Forget it!"
Sheng Xian saw that Xu Gong did not seem to be lying, so he sighed slightly. Then, he held Xu Gong's hand and said,"
"Fengshan still has a way!"
"Just now, this old man panicked and wrongly blamed Fengshan. I hope Fengshan doesn't mind!”
When Xu Gong saw this, he was naturally moved.
"Governor, why do you have to be like this? Gong is originally under the governor's command, so he should naturally do his best for the governor!”
Then, he turned to Sheng Xian and said,"
"Governor, what do you think of my suggestion?”
"If you think it's not bad, we have to hurry up and decide!”
"Sigh!"
Sheng Xian sighed and said,"
"Just as Fengshan said."
"You are the commandant of this county, and you have control over all the troops. You can help as much as you want!”
"Good!"
Seeing Sheng Xian agree, Xu Gong stood up and smiled.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave!"
"Take care, Fengshan!"
Sheng Xian waved at Xu Gong and lowered his head again to deal with the documents.
However, what he did not know was that after Xu Gong left County Governor Manor and arrived at the door, he saw a burly man coming out from behind his carriage. He smiled at Xu Gong and said,
"Lord Xu is back!"
"You don't know about the reinforcements?"
"Shut up!"
When Xu Gong saw this, he immediately shouted angrily. As he spoke, he pulled the burly man into the carriage and whispered,
"Are you courting death!"
"How can these words be said by outsiders?"
The brawny man was stunned by Xu Gong's shout.
When he heard this, he quickly rubbed his head and grinned.
"Hehehe, aren't you being a little impatient?”
"Milord, you should know that my elder brother has been fighting against some bandits recently. He really doesn't have enough troops!”
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have looked for you!”
"Humph!"
When Xu Gong heard this, he sneered and said,
"Yan Yu, Yan Yu, do you think I'm stupid?”
"Do you think I don't know what you brothers are planning?”
"If you want to learn from Sun Jian and expand your army, why don't you take a look at your capabilities?”
"I'm warning you. If it weren't for the fact that you brothers are still useful, I would have sent troops to wipe you out long ago!”
"Take this back to your brother and tell him to be quiet!”
"Yes, sir!"
When Yan Yu heard this, he quickly said softly,"
"Milord, don't worry. Us brothers have no second thoughts about Milord!”
"I just thought that since you're going to take over Wu County sooner or later and become the county governor, we're doing this to share your worries!”
"Humph!"
When Xu Gong heard the word 'county prefect,' his brows could not help but relax.
Obviously, Yan Yu's words made him feel quite pleased!
He had planned for so long just to overthrow Sheng Xian and become the prefect!
His plan was already half successful. He only needed to wait for Yuan Shu to lead the army here and he would be able to get what he wanted!
As for Sheng Xian, if it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of being labeled as the killer of his master, this old man would have been killed by him long ago!
She even shouted at him all day!
He really didn't know his limits!
However, thinking of this, he said to Yan Yu,"
"I'm telling you, what I said just now is true. You brothers must live in peace for the time being!”
"Sun Jian is currently in Pill Sun. After defeating Zhou Xin, he will most likely head east!”
"At that time, your White Tiger Mountain and Stone City Mountain will be the first to bear the brunt!”
"I want you to stick to this line no matter what. You can't let Sun Jian have the chance to attack Wu County!”
Hearing this, Yan Yu smiled and said,"
"Don't worry, my brother's stronghold is impregnable!”
"As long as we defend, Sun Jian won't be able to break through this stronghold easily!”
Then, he grinned and said,
"Milord, then what about the matter of the army?”
"That's good!"
Xu Gong listened to Yan Yu's words and relaxed a little.
When he heard Yan Yu ask about the soldiers, he smiled proudly and said,"
"I've already convinced the prefect to give you eight thousand soldiers!”
"What? Eight thousand?"
Yan Yu's eyes lit up when he heard that."
"Daren is really resourceful!”
He knew that the 8,000 people Xu Gong was talking about were definitely regular soldiers!
With 8,000 regular soldiers, their military strength would instantly exceed 20,000!
In this way, no bandits around Wu County could be their match!
"Hmph hmph hmph!"
Hearing Yan Yu's flattering words, Xu Gong sneered again and said,"
"A mere 8,000 people is nothing!”
"When I become the county governor in the future, you brothers will come and join me. I will let you be the commandants. At that time, you will be able to lead the tens of thousands of soldiers in a county!”
"Good, good, good!"
When Yan Yu heard this, he was already grinning from ear to ear. He hurriedly bowed to Xu Gong and said,"
"Thank you, Lord County Governor! Thank you, Lord County Governor!”
With his words, he already looked like Xu Gong's subordinate!
Seeing this, Xu Gong naturally felt more and more comfortable. He simply asked Yan Yu to stay and brought him to the military camp in Wu County. He called out his trusted soldiers and horses and brought them out of the city with Yan Yu.
After they left the city, in order to conceal their presence, they ordered the soldiers to change out of their armor and pretend to be rebel soldiers. They let Yan Yu lead them in the direction of White Tiger Mountain.
However, what they did not know was that all of their actions had already fallen into the eyes of a few scouts in the forest.
......
At this time, about 60 miles south of Wu County, in the barren mountains beside Lake Tai, a large village had been built.
Sun Jian's 40,000-plus troops were currently resting.
In the big tent, everyone had already gathered.
Apart from Sun Ben and Zhou Tai who had stayed in Dan Yang, only Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zu Mao, Jiang Qin and the other generals were left in the tent.
On the other hand, Baili Ming led Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Wang Can to form an equal number of people with the generals for the first time!
Of course, that was if Sun Ce was also a civil official.
However, this wasn't a problem that everyone was concerned about.
Everyone's focus was on how to advance!
Sun Jian sat on the main seat with a smile on his face."
"Military Advisor, our army has already arrived at the vicinity of Wu County. There is no movement along the way. It can be seen that our plan has succeeded!”
"The enemy is unprepared!"
When the generals heard this, they couldn't stop laughing.
"That's right!"
"I don't think the enemy has expected our army to arrive at Wu County!”
"If our army were to launch a surprise attack, the enemy would probably be caught off guard!”
At this moment, Baili Ming had a feather fan in his hand due to the hot weather. He was dressed in white and the feather fan was gently swaying, making him look even more elegant.
Hearing everyone's words, he waved his feather fan and said,"
"Everyone, it's too early to be happy!”
"According to our plan, the enemy is indeed unprepared!”
"However, our army has just arrived and is not familiar with the situation in Wu County. We can't act on our own just because the enemy has not discovered us.”
"Yes!"
Sun Jian quickly nodded and smiled."
"Advisor Jun is right. Although our army has already reached Wu County, we cannot be careless!”
"Then in your opinion, what should our army do now?”
When everyone heard this, they looked over.
Seeing this, Baili Ming smiled and said,
"It's not difficult. First, we have to send out scouts to investigate the situation around Wu County!”
"Secondly, we have to observe the terrain of the mountain and see the terrain of Stone City Mountain and White Tiger Mountain clearly!”
"With these two points, it won't be too late for our army to move!”
"The two things that the military counselor said are really mature and prudent!”
When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't help but smile."
"But Advisor Jun was still a step too late. I've already sent people to do these two things."
"I believe that the scouts will report soon!”
Hearing this, Baili Ming smiled and continued to wave his feather fan.
"That's good too. We just need to wait for the scouts to draw a map and our army can advance!”
"That's right!"
Sun Jian immediately smiled and was about to speak when he heard a report from outside the camp.
"Report! My lord, our scouts have reported!"
Sun Jian was stunned when he heard this. Then, he smiled and said,"
"Look, what he said came!”
"I think the topographic map has been drawn!”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said,"
"Come in and reply!"
As soon as the order was given, a travel-worn scout entered the tent and knelt on one knee.
"My lord, I have an urgent matter to report!”
Urgent matter?
Everyone in the tent was stunned when they heard this.
Sun Jian's expression also changed as he said,
"What urgent report?"
When the scout heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and said,
"My lord, just now, I was walking north along Taihu Lake and saw a troop of soldiers coming out of Wu County. They took off their armor halfway and were led by someone in the direction of White Tiger Mountain!”
"I don't know what the enemy means, so I'm reporting!”
However, before he could finish his sentence, everyone's expression changed.
What was going on?
The soldiers of Wu County took off their armor and headed towards White Tiger Mountain?
What kind of operation was this!
