Chapter 1569 Banquet

As long as Jiangdong is stable in Jingzhou, the opportunity for Jiangdong will come when Cao's army competes with Lu Bu in the future. As for what will happen after Lu Bu is strong, Jiangdong's army will naturally not be afraid. Before that, the most important thing is to improve its own strength.

No one wants to go to defeat when the chaotic times officially kicked off. Why did Yuan Shao fail on the battlefield in Jizhou and be defeated by Lu Bu? It is because Yuan Shao's strength is not as strong as Lu Bu.

Looking back at the beginning, Yuan Shao was so strong that he gradually declined in the process of competing with Lu Bu. This incident also made the Jiangdong Army more vigilant. From the incident in Jingzhou, we can see that there is no solid alliance in the world, but only intrigue and do whatever it takes for the sake of interests.

Sun Ce's actions made Jiangdong's ministers shake their heads secretly. Sun Ce's methods of his subordinates and leading troops to fight. Jiangdong has become more and more powerful over the years. However, what Sun Ce can't change is that he advocates fighting on the battlefield. As the body of the King of Wu, he should not play swords and guns on the battlefield. However, every time Sun Ce would use Lu Bu as a reason to shirk.

Seeing this seven-foot-tall war horse, Sun Ce hurried forward and ran away. Later, the officials only saw a black shadow passing by.

Fortunately, Sun Ce’s palace is located in the inner city, which did not cause much panic.

"It's indeed a good horse." Sun Ce turned over and got off the horse and laughed.

"Wu Hou is good at riding." Li Su praised.

When Sun Ce heard this, his face showed a proud look.

Zhang Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Lord, but today is getting late."

Sun Ce said: "Don't neglect the place for the envoys of the King of Jin to settle in the inner city. Tonight, I will hold a banquet in the mansion to welcome the envoys." Sun Ce's interest was so high after getting such a divine horse.

"Thank you, King Wu." Li Su bowed and said with satisfaction. Jiangdong's envoys did not have such treatment after they arrived in Chang'an. As for the reception banquet, they were all under their jurisdiction, so they would not pay as much attention as Jiangdong.

This situation made Yu Fan and Qin Song, who had been on the mission to Jiangdong, extremely dissatisfied with what kind of treatment they treated in Chang'an? Now, after the envoy of the King of Jin arrived in Jiangdong, they received such attention.

That night, the palace was extremely lively. Even among the ministers in Jiangdong who were dissatisfied with Li Su, they would not say it on such occasions. They just made things difficult for them. Li Su seemed to have expected the words of Jiangdong's ministers. He was treated in a good manner and was polite, which left a good impression on Sun Ce.

If an envoy shows enough talent when he goes to other princes, he can also be taken seriously. Of course, this has a large degree of correlation with the strength of the princes behind him.

When Li Su left Jiangdong, Sun Ce ordered Zhang Zhao to see him off. The conditions offered by Chang'an this time also made Sun Ce excited. Two thousand excellent war horses could play a great role if they could be equipped into the army.

Now, not only the Jiangdong Army, but the strength of the other princes is also increasing rapidly. This time, the three princes paid a considerable price to buy thousands of Modao from Chang'an. If the Modao Army can play a huge role in the battlefield, it can affect the direction of a war.

Not only the Modao Army, but also the Cao army and the Jiangdong army attached great importance to the heavy cavalry, especially the Jiangdong Army. After passing through the battlefield in Jingzhou, he saw the power of the heavy cavalry. Few infantry could stop the heavy cavalry under the charge. Even when the Modao Army faced the heavy cavalry, it would be overshadowed. This is also the reason why the Jiangdong Army wanted to develop heavy cavalry.

Although the war horses purchased from Chang'an were sophisticated, they still did not meet the standards of heavy cavalry. However, he learned from Xiaozu that all the war horses used by the wolf cavalry were carefully selected from these war horses. After the generals of each unit were selected, the merchants took the turn to choose. Often, the excellent war horses in the eyes of merchants were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the generals in the Chang'an army.

However, Lu Bu Xunuo's war horses are the most exquisite war horses. Although there are only two thousand, if they can be equipped with cavalry, it will definitely be a great help in the future battlefield. The development of cavalry by the Jiangdong Army has become a general trend. Now on the river, the Jingzhou Army has lost its original role. When facing the Jiangdong Navy, it does not have any combat power. The development of the army on the ground can allow the Jiangdong Army to gain more benefits on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

"Lord, Li Su is extraordinary." Zhou Yu whispered. From Li Su's way of speaking and doing things, we can see that when facing the ministers in Jiangdong, they chatted and laughed without any fear. These demeanors alone are not something that ordinary officials can possess.

Sun Ce said: "This person is the right-hand man of King Jin. He was the first person to follow King Jin. He had served as the governor of Youzhou before. How could it be so simple?"

Zhou Yu said: "If the lord starts a war with the Cao army at this time, it will be extremely unfavorable. It is better to wait and see if the Cao army sends an envoy to come, and the lord will form an alliance with him."

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Cao Cao would not be so stupid. Although the current King of Jin has no intention of attacking Yanzhou, if he angered King of Jin at this time, the consequences will not be that Cao Cao can imagine. Does Gongjin think that Xuzhou is really so calm on the surface? After the war begins, the most chaotic one is probably Xuzhou. Xuzhou has important significance to the Cao army. Losing Xuzhou means that Cao army has lost an important source of food and grass."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, and became even more awe of Lu Bu's methods. He was able to set up chess pieces in Xuzhou for so long, but Cao Cao found a handle. What he was sure was that there must be some involvement between Zang Ba and Lu Bu in Xuzhou.

"Gongjin should be careful of his own safety. You are my right-hand man. If you are injured, how can I lead the Jiangdong Army to win?" Sun Ce said: "The assassin of Fa Zheng and Zhuge Liang in Yizhou must be from Chang'an."

Zhou Yu said: "I guess Liu Bei has seen this too, but he has no evidence and can only admit his bad luck. Besides, Lu Bu will not care whether Liu Bei is angry."

"Gongjin, what's the assassin that I asked you to train?" Sun Ce said.

It was not just that Liu Bei began to pay attention to the power of the assassin. After the assassination in Yizhou, the princes attached great importance to the training of the assassin. At this time, they realized the necessity of the existence of an assassin team. There was no openness or sinister statement on the battlefield. As long as the opponent's strength could be weakened, it was the best method. Lu Bu obviously did the ultimate in this regard. When the princes attacked Huguan, they suffered many losses at the hands of these assassins.
