Sun Jian was going to send troops to Jiangdong and was already reorganizing his army. After up to ten days, he could complete the army and start crossing the river.

When Zhao Fei received the news, he was naturally shocked. At this most critical moment, Taishi Ci brought his army to Wujun, and Wujun sent another 50,000 reinforcements in Wanling County. There were two tiger generals, Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci, there was no suspense to conquer Wujun.

But it all takes time. Taishici has already met with Zhang Liao and should be attacking the county town at present, but Wu County has thirteen counties, and it will take time to capture them all.

Ten days later, Sun Jian will bring his army. Obviously, ten days are not enough to occupy the entire Wu County.

What's more, in Wanling County, there is also the time bomb Liu Yao.

If the internal troubles are not resolved, the strong enemy will come. What should we do?

Zhao Fei frowned deeply. It was obvious that in Moling County, Hao Zhao and five thousand men could not stop Sun Jian's attack even if there was natural danger to the Yangtze River.

There are no extra people behind me to mobilize. This is the disadvantage of the rapid development. Before the Kuaiji County Yuzhang County and Luling County were digested, they forcibly attacked Danyang County and Wu County.

Nowadays, Kuaiji County, Yuzhang County and Luling County, the three counties, have not only not provided arm assistance to Zhao Fei, but also restrained his large number of troops.

In fact, there are quite a few troops under Zhao Fei, including 110,000 regular troops and many militias, but there are too many places to be guarded against.

To guard against Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, Huang Zhong arranged 20,000 troops. In order to guard against Lujiang County, Chen Dao and Liao Hua each had 10,000 troops.

In addition, Jinkouling was going to guard 40,000 Danyang soldiers and prisoners, and Zhou Hao and Hao Yu brought 10,000 troops here.

This combined is an army of 50,000, which seriously dragged down Zhao Fei's overall strength. The troops he could use to attack were only 60,000.

As the territory expands, there are more and more places that require defense.

If Zhao Fei had more people, he would have conquered Wanling County long ago and would not have been stalemate here, which made Sun Jian and the others come.

Damn! The Sun family, at my most critical moment, Zhao Fei was depressed and wanted to vomit blood. He was so angry that he hated Sun Jian and Sun Ce and the others.

Zhao Fei looked at the map spread out on the table. At present, there were three forces in Jiangdong that had not been pacified. Sheng Xian, Liu Yao and Lu Kang could not pacify them in a short period of time. What he thought about now was how to repel Sun Jian.

Liu Yao and Sheng Xian were all native chickens and tiles, so it would not be too late to keep them in the future. However, Sun Jian, a fierce tiger, would never be allowed to be put into Jiangdong if it was a last resort.

Don't let me catch the opportunity. Once I get through this disaster, I will pacify Lujiang County. At that time, huh, no one in big or small will try to run away. Zhao Fei snorted coldly in his heart.

Zhao Fei will work harder. At most one month, Zhang Liao will definitely be able to occupy the entire Wu County. At that time, their 30,000 troops will meet with Zhao Fei, gather several powerful generals, and capture Wanling County. It will not be difficult.

At that time, except for Lujiang County, Zhao Fei will unify Jiangdong even if he has no internal troubles, and most of his troops can be transferred to the Yangtze River to deploy defenses. At that time, it will be difficult for Sun Jian to cross the river, unless he trains a strong navy.

But all this is beautiful, but reality is often cruel.

When Zhao Fei was most critical and had no spare energy, Sun Jian brought the army, and there was still a 50,000 army at once. It was really difficult for Zhao Fei to deal with it. No wonder he was so angry that he had no choice but to use the act of taking his wife to calm the depression in his heart.

"Lord, has Yuan Shu sent troops?" Guo Jia walked in quickly from outside, with an anxious look on his face immediately asking Zhao Fei.

When Zhao Fei received the news that Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to Jiangdong through the Yishui organization, he was angry and naturally sent someone to call Guo Jia at the first time.

"That's right," Zhao Fei nodded and said. Guo Jia is so smart, it is not difficult to guess this. If there is no external force now, Jiangdong has become a foregone conclusion. At this moment, Zhao Fei was so anxious to recruit Guo Jia, the situation must have changed. Only Yuan Shu, the power of Jiangdong can do it.

There are 20,000 troops defending Lu Kang, not to mention that his son Lu Jun is still in the hands of Zhao Fei. Lu Kang will not send troops to fight Zhao Fei until he has no choice.

Jiaozhou is too remote and mountain roads are difficult to walk, so there is no need to worry. Moreover, there are many militias arranged in the south, including Luling County and Huang Zhong's 10,000 troops.

Therefore, in this surrounding area, only Yuan Shu has the ability to disrupt the situation in Jiangdong. As for a prince close to Jiangdong, Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, it is impossible for him to send troops to attack Jiangdong, because he was also in trouble at this time.

A son should be like Cao Cao, and an adopted son should be like a huge tall one.

This Jugao is the name of Cao Cao's father Cao Song. Cao Song was born in middle age. At first, Cao Song didn't like this son very much because Cao Cao was young and energetic, without fame, but liked to play with guns and sticks, and often caused a lot of trouble for Cao Song.

But later, when his friend Lu Boshe was an official in Shandong, he was appointed as a filial and honest official for Cao Cao. Cao Cao became the Northern Territory of Luoyang and was responsible for the security of the capital.

Cao Cao's achievements must be rewarded and punished. He managed the capital in an orderly manner, showing his outstanding political talent. Cao Song began to look at his son with admiration and supported him from then on.

Soon Cao Song arranged for Cao Cao to serve as Dunqiu Ling, and then returned to Beijing to serve as a censor.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, under the guidance of Cao Song, Zhang Rang recommended Cao Cao as the cavalry commander. Later, due to his military achievements, he was promoted to the prime minister of Jinan and served as the prefect of Dongjun.

Later, Cao Cao was disheartened and resigned and retired. He studied and had fun every day. Emperor Ling of Han established the "Eight Captains of Xiyuan". Under Cao Song's arrangement, Cao Cao became the Captain of the Dianjun Captain.

Cao Song played a huge role behind the scenes as Cao Cao rose step by step.

The situation was turbulent and when the Ten Constables and He Jin were fighting endlessly, Cao Song resigned and lived in Luoyang.

Later, because Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Luoyang had become a place of right and wrong, so Cao Song took his family to Hua County, Taishan to avoid disaster.

Last year, Cao Cao conquered the million Qingzhou troops and could not hold back. Qingzhou's vitality was severely damaged and its strength could not increase much. Moreover, Qingzhou was still under the rule of Gongsun Zan. Even though Cao Cao was jealous of Qingzhou, he did not dare to take it at this time.

After all, Yuan Shao can only barely defend himself, while Gongsun Zan is powerful, and his white horse Yicong is even more popular.

In the south of Yanzhou is Yuzhou. Yuan Shu's strength is no worse than Gongsun Zan, and Cao Cao dared not easily have conflicts with Yuan Shu.

To the north of Yanzhou is Jizhou, and Cao Cao is sandwiched between Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. Yuan Shao is his only ally, so it is naturally impossible for him to make the idea of ​​Jizhou.

To the west is Luoyang and Dong Zhuo. If Cao Cao was still the passionate young man before, then if he had 300,000 Qingzhou troops and was so close to Dong Zhuo, he would definitely choose to attack Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, drive away the traitors, and revitalize the Han Dynasty.

However, the previous inaction of the princes' coalition forces in Luoyang had already allowed Cao Cao to see through these people. Now he already understood that the traitor? How could it be Dong Zhuo?

How many other princes in the world are truly loyal to the Han Dynasty?

Therefore, Cao Cao chose to retain his strength and wanted to develop silently. His enemies were not only Dong Zhuo, but also countless traitors, almost all the princes of the world.

The persimmons are soft and the surrounding princes are too strong. The only direction Cao Cao can develop and capture is naturally the southeast direction, which is Xuzhou.

Cao Cao began to have some minor frictions with Tao Qian at the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. This Taishan Hua County is the front line of friction.

This year, not long ago, Cao Song lived in seclusion in this Hua County and naturally felt unsafe, so he took his second son Cao De and his wife and concubine to leave this place of war and go to Yanzhou, Cao Cao's base camp.

However, unexpectedly, the whereabouts were leaked and surrounded by soldiers sent by Tao Qian. Cao Cao sent troops to respond. Cao Song, his second son Cao De, his wife (the mother of Cao Cao), and his concubine Zhao all became dead souls under the knife.

As for what is said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Tao Qian just sent someone to escort Cao Song, but the commander Zhang Kai, who was sent, had evil intentions because he saw that Cao Song had too much money, and killed Cao Song, took away his treasure and fled. It had nothing to do with Tao Qian.

The sayings here are full of flaws. First, Cao Song served as the Grand Secretary and the Grand Master Lu, and then spent money to buy an official position, becoming the Grand Marshal and one of the three Dukes.

The Grand Minister and the Grand Master manage finances and etiquette, which means that Cao Song manages the national treasury. Although most of them were scraped away by the emperor, some left behind in the cracks of his fingers were enough to make Cao Song rich.

What's more, Cao Song himself is well-managed and is good at using power to accumulate wealth.

In general, Cao Song is very rich and powerful, and the Cao family is also a big family. How could Cao Song not raise a private army? Will he need Tao Qian to send military guards?

If Cao Song had so much money, would he not know that there must be thieves along the way? Then he must have been surrounded by guards from Huaxian to Yanzhou. There were at least thousands of private troops accompanying him, and they were all elite soldiers.

In this case, he could still be killed. A mere Zhang Kai, who was just a commander under Tao Qian, was doing something like robbery and destroying his future. How many subordinates could he mobilize? This must have been instructed by Tao Qian.

Of course, Tao Qian is not a reckless person. His original intention is definitely not to kill Cao Song. After all, this killing does not do him any benefit, and will only anger Cao Cao. It is estimated that he sent Zhang Kai to lead his army to intercept Cao Song, and to use it as a hostage to threaten Cao Cao.

But what he didn't expect was that Cao Song had brought more money and could spend 100 million to buy a three-month voucher's false position, so he knew how rich Cao Song was.

Zhang Kai is a little man. He has never seen so much money on weekdays. At this moment, greed arises, and he violates Tao Qian's orders. He should intercept house arrest and kill him, and then he flees with money.

No matter what Tao Qian's original intention is, he cannot escape the relationship. It is absolutely impossible to be as innocent as mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After all, the personal tendency of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is too serious and he seriously smears Cao Cao, which leads to the hostility of Cao Cao, most of the good people who are righteous, brave or innocent.

In fact, will the princes who rise in troubled times be good people?
