Chapter 503 (1/2)

Because Ji Ling wanted to seize the military power of Lujiang from Liu Xun, Liu Xun set up a knife and axe man to kill Ji Ling, and forced Yuan Yao to be emperor and lead himself to be a general.

Originally, sun CE was very keen on the army of Lujiang County. Liu Xun hoped to boost the morale of Lujiang army with the name of emperor.

”Ha ha ha ha!”

Sun CE was laughing in the soldiers' tent. Just then Zhou Yu came in and said, ”Bo Fu, what are you laughing at?”

”Gong Jin and Liu Yuqing were defeated by Zhang Xun in Yuzhou. After hearing about this, yuan Gaolu ran away in a hurry, but he died half the way.” Sun CE said with a smile: ”Ji Ling and others escorted Yuan Yao's children to Lujiang. Liu Xun made Yuan Yao emperor and appointed himself a general.”

”So I'm afraid Ji Ling's head is different?” Zhou Yu said slowly.

Sun CE nodded: ”yes, Liu Xun said that Ji Ling rebelled and had already killed him.”

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed: ”Bofu, this is a good opportunity!”

”What good opportunity?” Sun CE said curiously.

”Ji Ling is the number one general under Yuan Shu, and he is very famous in Huainan.” Zhou Yu chuckled: ”now that Liu Xun killed Ji Ling, we can order the army to make a detailed report in Lujiang County, claiming that Liu Xun killed Ji Ling and coerced Yuan Yao. In fact, he wanted to be emperor himself. In this way, the people of Lujiang County would not belong to Liu Xun.”

”Good!” Sun CE zhengse said: ”Gongjin, this matter will be handed over to you.”

Zhou Yu firmly nodded and said, ”once we take the Lujiang River, our army will have a fixed base in the north of the river. When the time comes, we will go north to Yangzhou and occupy the land of Huainan. We will have the foundation to compete with the world for hegemony.”

”What's more, we can't let go of Huang Zu and Liu Biao at that time!” Sun CE clenched his fist and clenched his teeth and said, ”when we have occupied the seven counties of Jingxiang and Huainan, it's not bad to go north to fight with Liu Yuqing.”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: ”don't worry, Bofu. We'll have a match with Liu Yuqing's Xiliang soldiers sooner or later.”

Zhou Yu knew that sun CE had always been proud of his character. When he was young, he crossed the river to attack Liu Yao and swept the six counties in Jiangdong, which was famous all over the world. However, Liu Ye's military achievements are even more brilliant than sun CE's, and he became famous earlier. He can be said to be the number one vassal in the world. Naturally, sun CE was not convinced that if the two men were not separated by Huainan and Yuzhou, he would have been sent to the North to fight against Liu Ye.

”Good! Then we will take the Lujiang River and advance to Huainan. ”

Under Zhou Yu's plan, Jiangdong army's detailed works spread rumors in Lujiang County, claiming that Liu Xun wanted to monopolize power, killed Ji Ling, who supported Yuan Yao, and attempted to become an emperor in vain. For a moment, there was a stir in Lujiang County, which made him very uneasy. The county guards of several cities in the Lujiang River were loyal to Yuan Shu. Knowing that Liu Xun was rebellious, he simply turned over and surrendered to sun CE.

Seeing that Zhou Yu's detailed plan worked, sun CE immediately led the army to the north with Tai Shici, Huang Gai and others as generals, and the front of the army pointed to Lujiang city.

When Liu Xun responded, the big black sun flag had been planted under the head of Lujiang city. Unwilling to wait for death, Liu Xun was determined to go all out and mobilize the young soldiers in the city to go out to the west gate with 15000 troops to fight sun CE.
