Sun Quan continued to say with concern: "The combat power of Shu people is getting stronger and stronger, more and more soldiers, and their equipment is getting better and better. Now they can't even resist more than 100,000 Wei troops. If this continues, it is probably not a blessing for me in Eastern Wu!"

"Your Majesty is worried that the strength of the Shu people surpassed that of the Wei people in one fell swoop, causing the alliance to be unbalanced?" Gu Yong's eyes flashed and he said slowly.

Sun Quan said: "Yes, in recent years, the national strength and military strength of Western Shu have been greatly improved. Once Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition eliminates all the more than 100,000 Wei troops on the Western Front, the situation in the future is likely to reappear in the 24th year of Jian'an."

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although the Shu army won consecutive battles, the main force of the Wei army, the central army led by Cao Zhen, was not at the point of being injured. It was just temporarily trapped in Ziwu Valley. It was not so easy for the Shu army to annihilate Cao Zhen's army.

The emperor and ministers of Cao Rui, who were in charge of Luoyang, would not watch the destruction of Cao Zhen's army, and would definitely dispatch troops from the east to reinforce Guanxi. Once Cao Zhen's army escapes from the trap, the situation on the western front will change again. By then, who will win and lose in the Wei and Shu families, it is still unknown." General Quan Cong bowed and said.

The former general Zhu Huan, who was sitting in the lower head, then said: "Your Majesty, I agree with General Wei's analysis. After all, Cao Wei's national strength is strong and has many soldiers. Cao Zhen, Zhang He, Guo Huai and other Wei generals are not mediocre and incompetent, so they will definitely not sit still and wait for death.

I believe that the Wei and Shu armies will have a battle of dragons and tigers in the future. No matter which side wins, it will definitely cost a considerable price. I, Dongwu, just need to watch coldly, and you can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"According to your intention, are we not doing anything now? Just watch it like this?" Sun Quan said.

The Han and Wei countries fought fiercely on the Western Front, and both sides invested more than 100,000 troops. This greatly reduced the national defense pressure faced by the Eastern Wu on the Eastern Front.

Of course, Sun Quan could not sit still with such a good opportunity. He had just ascended the throne. It was just when he was ambitious and had a great ambition. Seeing that the eastern front was empty and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, he began to send troops north to conquer Hefei again.

The reason why Gu Yong, Bu Zhi, Zhu Ran and other close officials came to discuss matters today was this idea.

"This..." Zhu Huan immediately stopped seeing Sun Quan seemingly unhappy.

Quan Cong said, and said, "Your Majesty, although more than 100,000 elite troops in the Wei Kingdom gathered at Guanyou, Jingzhou and the two Huai lines still have less than 150,000 Wei troops. Although most of them are military farms with weak combat power, Jingzhou Sima Yi and Yangzhou are both civil and military. The two of them resisted the guards with their strong city and dangerous passes. Our Great Wu may not be defeated for a while.

In addition, Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi were ordered by His Majesty to lead tens of thousands of soldiers to float eastward to seek Yizhou and Danzhou. At present, there is no news from the sea army at the moment. It is the time to stop and be cautious when dealing with it. It is not advisable to make big moves and attack from all sides, so as not to take advantage of the enemy."

A few months ago, after resigning from the court, Sun Quan talked about historical anecdotes with his minister Zhuge Zhi, and inadvertently mentioned the incident of Qin Shihuang sending the alchemist Xu Fu to send thousands of boys and girls into the sea to search for immortals and medicines.

After hearing this, Sun Quan was fascinated and thought that in "Yu Gong", there was a record of Yizhou. Xu Fu was also rumored to stay in Danzhou and never return. There were Yi overseas in Kuaiji. It should be true that the two states of Danzhou were there. Since someone had arrived in the Qin Dynasty, Jiangdong is now superb in sailing skills and countless ships of all sizes, he will definitely be able to find Yizhou and the two states of Danzhou.

By then, not only can we expand territory and increase the population for the Eastern Wu, but we can also have the opportunity to find the elixir of immortality that Qin Shihuang asked for but could not get. Why not do this best?

Thinking of this, Sun Quan made up his mind and tried his best to resist the opposition, ordering General Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to form a fleet of ten thousand soldiers and more than thirty ships in a few months, and set sail to sea last month, searching for Yizhou and Danzhou.

"Yeah." Hearing Quan Cong's words, Sun Quan stroked his purple beard without comment.

Gu Yong observed his expression and asked softly: "Your Majesty, can you send any opinions back?"

Lu Xun assisted the prince Sun Deng in Wuchang, and he must have known the battle between Shu and Wei, and knew it first and forthcoming than Sun Quan and others in Jianye. According to past practice, he would definitely report his views to Sun Quan in such a major event.

"Boyan means to wait patiently and hold the troops temporarily, and then make a decision after finding out whether Cao Wei sent troops to reinforce Guanzhong and the size of reinforcements. If the Wei people mobilized enough troops from the eastern front, then our Eastern Wu will take advantage of the situation to send troops to attack Xu and Huai in the north." Sun Quan said.

Gu Yong said: "This is the old man's advice to plan the country. Your Majesty, I and the Supreme General agree. Don't act rashly for the time being, wait and see."

"I also agree to the general." Bu Zhi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there are water networks in the areas bordering our Eastern Wu and Cao Wei. It is convenient for boats and ships to stop sending troops. It is still time to wait for the situation of the war in Guanzhong to be clear."

Zhu Ran, Quan Cong, Zhu Huan and others also expressed their opinions, basically agreeing with Lu Xun's opinion.

Seeing that the ministers were unanimous, Sun Quan said loudly: "Well, let's wait and see if he follows the wishes of all the ministers."

"Your Majesty is wise." Gu Yong and others praised each other.

Sun Quan smiled when he heard this, but no one noticed a strange look flashing in his eyes, which was suspicion of Lu Xun, the strongest official.

"Bo Yan's prestige has reached this point. Not only did Gu Yong and others believe in him, but even Zhu Huan, who has always been inconsistent with him, now praises him. Isn't there anyone in the court who can check and balance Bo Yan?

This is not a good thing. Bo Yan is in charge of Wuchang and Dong governs Jingzhou. He is already powerful. Now even Jianye is his voice. In the long run, should the Dongwu world be Sun or Lu?"

Sun Quan was suspicious and thought that he had to take action and had a restraint on Lu Xun, otherwise something he could not bear to say in the future. His eyes turned and he said to the ministers: "My good friends, although we are temporarily unmoving, I have to make arrangements early after thinking about it.

I want General Sun Shao, the Zhenbei, to lead 10,000 elite troops to Wuchang to enrich the troops in Jingzhou. This will not only strengthen the border defense of Jingzhou, but also attack at any time. I wonder what you think?”

Sun Shaobiao's courtesy name was Gongli, and he was 42 years old this year. He was a royal family member of the Wu Kingdom. Although his surname was Sun, he was not a relative of Sun Jian.

This man's uncle Sun He was originally surnamed Yu. Sun Ce loved Yu He very much back then, so he gave him the surname Sun and listed him in the Sun family. As a result, Sun He and Sun Shao became the clan of the Eastern Wu clan.

In the ninth year of Jian'an, Sun He was killed by the rebel general Guilan and Dai Yuan in Wanling. The seventeen-year-old Sun Shao inherited his uncle's will and showed extraordinary talents at the critical moment. He collected the rest of the people, repaired the city walls, built towers, and repaired the weapons. The disposal was clear and decisive.

As a result, the army revived, scared away the enemy, and successfully saved Dantu County, the capital of Wu County, and gained the honor of Sun Quan, and was appointed as the captain of Chenglie.

Later, Sun Shao was promoted to the prefect of Guangling and was a general. Sun Quan was granted the title of Queen of Wu, and appointed Sun Shao as General Yangwei and the title of Marquis of Jiande. Last year, Sun Quan was appointed as Emperor and was granted the title of Wenwu. Sun Shao was also appointed as General Zhenbei.

Sun Shao was strict and wise, and a general of the royal family with different bloodlines. Sun Quan naturally regarded him as his confidant general who could be granted major events. This time, he was transferred to Wuchang to set up defenses, in addition to the apparent reasons, he was more in order to check and balance Lu Xun, who was increasingly powerful.

Although the prince Sun Deng was in Wuchang's state, he was young and had a trustworthy elite army stationed at the garrison. Only when Sun Quan could rest assured.

Of course, this thought is not worthy of being told by outsiders. Although Gu Yong and the others are all extremely intelligent, they never expected that Sun Quan suddenly became suspicious of Lu Xun. Seeing that he had sufficient reasons for adjusting Sun Shao, they all agreed.
