"Big brother, please, save my uncle and cousin. If you don't save them, they will be over. Xiang'er has no relatives anymore..., um..."

I don’t know if it was because of Sun Quan’s guidance or because I was worried about the safety of my relatives. In short, after Deputy Director Tao returned to Hefei City, he was immediately entangled by Miss Sun Shangxiang and pulled Deputy Director Tao’s sleeve. The girl cried so hard that she was crying with pear blossoms and tears. She kept begging Deputy Director Tao to save her close relatives, and also took out her special skills to deal with Deputy Director Tao, took the initiative to sit in Deputy Director Tao’s arms, hugged Deputy Director Tao’s neck and begged coquettishly.

Seeing his own sister sitting in the arms of the murderer's enemy, Sun Quan did not look angry, humiliated or embarrassed. He stood aside as if an old monk had entered a state of meditation. He lowered his head and kept silent, allowing his sister to hug the murderer's enemy, and his skin was connected, so calm that even Deputy Director Tao couldn't help but admire him secretly.

Unable to resist the little sister Sun Shangxiang's crying, making a fuss and hanging her. Deputy Director Tao, who likes to care for Luo Li like Secretary Lin, felt soft-hearted. Finally, she sighed. While personally whispering the crystal tears from Sun Shangxiang's delicate little face, she said helplessly: "Okay, okay, stop crying, I promise you that you will just write a letter to your uncle and others, just say that I accept their surrender and ask them to come over."

"Really? Big brother, you didn't lie to me, are you?" Sun Shangxiang asked, wiping her tears.

"When did I lied to you?" Deputy Director Tao asked back.

After carefully recalling and thinking, he found that Deputy Director Tao did not have any bad precedents to deceive him. Sun Shangxiang finally cried out to laugh, and quickly jumped out of Deputy Director Tao's arms. He knelt down to thank him. Deputy Director Tao pulled the girl back to his arms and sat down, then turned to Sun Quan and ordered: "Mr. Quan, I agree to your uncle and cousin's request. Should you go back to report the message, or do you write a letter to send my detailed work across the river?"

"Thank you, the envoy." Sun Quan was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank Deputy Director Tao, and then said respectfully: "The river is blocked. The traffic is inconvenient. If the envoy's letter is unfortunately taken by Yuan Shu's navy's navy's ship, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, it is best to ask the envoy to allow Sun Quan to cross the river and report the good news to his uncle and cousin in front of him."

"Okay, go." Deputy Director Tao nodded and agreed, and said casually: "But don't go back immediately. In a few days, I will lead a large army of water and land to Ruxukou to hold a naval drill on the river surface of Ruxukou. At that time, you and I will go south together. You cross the river to report the message, and ask your uncle and cousin to lead your family across the river to join us. I can arrange for the naval commander to respond."

"The water and land army went south to Ruxukou? A naval drill was held on the surface of Ruxukou River?" Sun Quan felt a stern in his heart. Then he immediately woke up and said secretly: "The treacherous pottery thief obviously wanted to take the opportunity to cross the Yangtze River, but he deliberately said that it was a naval drill. He probably wouldn't tell me until the last moment!"

When he was secretly happy, Sun Quan quietly went to peek at Deputy Director Tao's expression. Seeing that although Deputy Director Tao was still hugging his little sister who was less than ten years old, his pair of small green bean eyes were staring at him with shiny eyes. Sun Quan was shocked again and nodded and replied, "Thank you, it depends on the arrangements of the envoy."

After looking at Sun Quan a few more times, Deputy Director Tao ordered casually: "Then do it this way. I will be busy with military affairs and government affairs these days. I'm afraid there is not much time to see you. You should spend more time with your sister. For details, I will discuss with you when I reach Ruxukou." Sun Quan quickly bowed and thanked Deputy Director Tao repeatedly.

Deputy Director Tao really doesn't have much time to accompany the cute Sun Shangxiang Xiaoluoli, because Deputy Director Tao has to hurry up and handle too many official pragmatic things. There are a lot of major matters waiting for Deputy Director Tao to decide in person. At present, the most important thing is diplomatic communication. In order not to let the princes of Jiangnan misunderstand the purpose of leading their army to Ruxukou, Deputy Director Tao was not only sent Jiang Gan to communicate with Jiangnan, but also had to personally summon envoys and representatives sent by the princes of Jiangnan and the family, and announced to them the purpose of leading their army to Ruxukou to the south.

Deputy Director Tao met these envoys one by one to announce the news separately. When he heard that Deputy Director Tao was preparing to send troops to Ruxukou, Liu Ji, the envoy sent by Liu Yaojun, was relieved and relieved. He quickly expressed his understanding and support for the Xuzhou Navy to hold a practical exercise on his behalf to the Ruxukou River, and promised to restrict his own navy from conflicting and friction with the Xuzhou Navy, and sincerely congratulated the Xuzhou Navy on his successful Luxukou exercise. Of course, if the Xuzhou Navy went to Liyang, which was across the river from Niuzhu, the poor Mr. Liu Ji would definitely not be able to say similar things.

"There is another small thing that must be troubled by the young master." Before the matter was finished, Deputy Director Tao said to Mr. Liu Ji politely: "Young Master must also know that our Xuzhou Navy has not been formed for a long time, and its combat effectiveness is low, and its practical experience is even more serious. So please ask the young master to report to Liu Envoy, during our military exercises, can your army send a fleet to Ruxukou to join forces with our navy to hold a joint practical exercise, so that our navy can witness with our own eyes what water war is?"

Speaking of this, Deputy Director Tao added with a smile and said, "Of course, if your army can agree to this small request, then all the money and food consumed by your navy during the exercise will be paid by our army, and it will be paid twice as much as possible to repay the soldiers of your army for their guidance."

"This..." Mr. Liu Ji was hesitant about whether to agree to the potential enemy's request, but he did not dare to refuse. He could only say with a false alarm: "But the envoy, our army is fighting against Yuan Shu's team, and Yuan Shu's navy's main force is stationed at the Chungu Ferry opposite Ruxukou. If our navy reaches Ruxukou, we are afraid that we will not be able to avoid a conflict with Yuan Shu's navy?"

"What are you afraid of?" Deputy Director Tao smiled and said in a big way: "If Liu Envoy agrees, I will write the joint exercises into a letter, send an envoy to formally negotiate with Yuan Shu, and ask Yuan Shu not to interfere with the joint exercises between our army. Yuan Shu is fine. If he dares to shoot an arrow and a crossbow at the warships of your army, the envoy will immediately urge the Xuzhou Navy to join forces with the Navy to fight with him Yuan Shu on the Yangtze River!"

The hint of Deputy Director Tao's hope to join forces with Liu Yaojun again in these words was that he was too explicit to be more exposed, but Mr. Liu Ji, who had suffered a great loss, said that he would not dare to be fooled, but he just refused: "This matter is very important, and Ji dare not make decisions on behalf of his father. He could only write this matter into a letter to report to his father and try his best to persuade his father to agree to the envoy's request."

"It seems that there is no hope." In fact, Deputy Director Tao, who was really not kind, was disappointed. He could only say with a smile: "Then it's a blessing for Mr. Liu. Please report to Lingzun. This envoy proposed a joint exercise just to enhance the friendship and cooperation between our two armies and help us jointly enhance the strength of the navy. It is not targeted by third parties, nor does it have any malice. I hope the envoy Liu will understand."

Liu Ji bowed and agreed to this request that was equivalent to that was not said. Deputy Director Tao smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, say hello and ask the young master to report to Liu Envoy. If the envoy is really inconvenient to hold a joint exercise with our naval division, then our army may seek to hold a joint exercise with the Yuan Shu army's naval division. At that time, the joint exercise between our army and Yuan Shu army is only to strengthen cooperation between the naval division and will never target any third party. At that time, Liu Envoy will also express understanding and restraint, and restrain the team and do not disturb the joint exercise between our army and the Yuan Shu army's naval division."

The poor Mr. Liu Ji's face finally turned pale, and he wanted to strangle Deputy Director Tao to death on the spot. "Shameless Taoist thief! He is obviously threatening my father. If my father doesn't ask for an alliance from you, you can form an alliance with Yuan Shu to plot against our army, and you still have the face to say the threatening words in a high-sounding manner, false benevolence and righteousness!"

Mr. Liu Ji, who had only learned the three-legged cat sword sting technique for a few days, could not even beat Deputy Director Tao, who had actually been on the battlefield and chopped people, let alone the large group of guards really strangled Deputy Director Tao to death when they were watching Dandan. So Mr. Liu Ji had no choice but to bow to Deputy Director Tao in a low voice, "Please rest assured, I will report the envoy's original words to the lord. I will be very serious. I want to go back to Danyang to report to my father in front of me. I hope the envoy will be correct." Deputy Director Tao smiled and agreed to Mr. Liu Ji's request on the spot, and then immediately met with other envoys from the princes of Jiangnan one by one.

In fact, there are not a single prince in the south of the Yangtze River who was disgusted and afraid of the Xuzhou army crossing the river and going south. At least the commander of Jingxian, Zulang, who dominated Jingxian, wanted Deputy Director Tao to cross the river and going south. Because Xiao Yuan Sangong had been trying to annex Zulang's team, Jingxian did not border with Liu Yao's army, so the isolated Zulang naturally hoped that the Xuzhou army would cross the river and help him deal with Xiao Yuan Sangong. So when he learned that Xuzhou navy was going south to Ruxukou, the envoy sent by Zulang immediately burst into laughter and also proposed on the spot that he was willing to form an alliance with the Xuzhou army to join forces to deal with Xiao Yuan Sangong who was intending to annex the entire Jiangdong.

Zulang's team was a little weaker. There was no navy, and the control area was too far away from the Yangtze River. If you wanted to rely on Zulang's team to respond to the Xuzhou Navy's forced crossing the Yangtze River, there was no hope at all. Therefore, Deputy Director Tao could only politely decline Zulang's request for alliance, and just promised to report to Emperor Xian of Han to the Prime Minister of Danyang County and the Captain of the Karma, and use his official position to appease his own bandit leader Zulang, and then asked Zulang's team to be calm and strive to preserve the vitality. After he crossed the river, Zulang's envoy was both happy and helpless, and had to leave with gratitude. Then Deputy Director Tao naturally asked his subordinates to release the news of his official position to Zulang without mentioning it.

While busy, news came from Mr. Jiang Gan, who was on the southern side of Jiangnan. When Mr. Jiang Gan arrived in Wuhu and officially informed Xiao Yuan Sangong of the Ruxukou exercise, although Xiao Yuan Sangong, who had already suffered a great loss, learned a lesson and did not chop the poor Mr. Jiang Gan on the spot, he also issued a stern warning to Deputy Director Tao with a pale face, requiring Deputy Director Tao to restrain the Xuzhou Navy from conflicting with the self-army. He also warned that if the Xuzhou Navy dared to fire the first shot, then Xiao Yuan Sangong's water battle army would inevitably send all Xuzhou warships to the bottom of the river to feed the fish!

As for Liu Yao's envoy, Liu Yao, who was almost cheated by Deputy Director Tao when he formed an alliance last time, would certainly not suffer twice. Not only did he firmly decline Deputy Director Tao's request for joint naval exercises, he also listened to the advice of the strategist Shiyi for the first time, and actively sent an envoy to contact Xiao Yuan Sangong, proposing a temporary truce to establish peace. He also deliberately let Mr. Jiang Gan see the good letters he had communicated with Xiao Yuan Sangong, and tried different ways to warn Deputy Director Tao not to be greedy for Jiangnan.

When Xiao Yuan Sangong, who was directly threatened by Deputy Director Tao, saw Liu Yao proposing a truce to establish peace. Of course, it was a pie that fell from the sky and was reluctant to seek it. Not only did he decide to temporarily truce with Liu Yao on the spot. He also followed Yan Xiang's advice and immediately withdrew the self-army army that confronted Liu Yao's army on the front line of Shicheng, and publicized the temporary news about the self-army and Liu Yao's army, in order to warn Deputy Director Tao not to act rashly - otherwise, he might have to join forces with Liu Yao to fight against Deputy Director Tao's jackal army! So when Mr. Jiang Gan returned to Hefei with the letter written by the manuscript, there was no need to see Liu Yao deliberately let Mr. Jiang Gan write the letter. Deputy Director Tao had already learned through other channels that Xiao Yuan Sangong and Liu Yao were likely to join forces to fight against the self-army.

After reading the letter from Liu Yao brought back by Jiang Gan, Deputy Director Tao couldn't help but laugh. Laughing at the wonders of life. Some people are indeed very destined to be with something, and then joked to Lao Jia's poisonous substance: "Mr. Wenhe, the effect of alarming the snake has come out. This result should be beyond Mr. Mr. Wang? The irreconcilable Yuan Shu and Liu Yao's common men are actually preparing to abandon their past grudges and hatred and join forces to fight against our army?"

"I'm not hiding my lord, this matter was already expected by Xu." Jia Lao Poison replied with a smile: "It's a pity that our army's navy is still a little bit short. I'm really not sure to cross the Yangtze River. Otherwise, it would be easier for Xu to escape from the so-called alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Yao and make them suspicious and attack each other. It would be easy for the lord, but it would not be difficult for Xu."

"Mr. Wenhe is too humble." Deputy Director Tao shook his head and put away his smile and said seriously: "To be honest with Mr. Wenhe, I actually didn't expect that Yuan Shu and Liu Yao would be so vigilant of our army. No matter how I provoked discord and made clear hints, no one has been deceived and took the initiative to invite our army to cross the river. Until now, I have not yet come up with a way to act. One of the people who lured Yuan Shu and Liu Yao took the initiative to invite our army to cross the river to help."

"The time has not come. After the lord's water and land army arrived at Ruxukou, it directly threatened Yuan Shu's team, so there was no need to worry about no turning point." Jia Lao Poison comforted him.

"I hope so." Deputy Director Tao nodded. After pondering for a long time, Deputy Director Tao finally made up his mind with difficulty and said: "It seems that it can only take one risk and implement my backup plan."

"The lord has a backup plan?" Lu Su asked curiously: "Dare you ask the lord, what backup plan is it?"

"Of course, Sun Ben and Wu Jing are the internal supporters, and we will support our elite troops to cross the Yangtze River." Deputy Director Tao replied frankly.

"What?!" Lu Su, Liu Ye and Zhang Zhao, who were present, both jumped up and exclaimed: "Lord, is this too risky, right?"

"It's a little risky, but it's not very dangerous." Deputy Director Tao analyzed: "From Sun Ben and Wu Jing's willingness to disband the army and bring his family to join us, their sincerity is enough to be trusted."

"Mr. Ziyang, I asked you to secretly investigate the time when Sun Quan arrived at Chaohu Lake. The results you found were the same as Sun Quan's introduction. Sun Quan did arrive at Chaohu Lake on the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it was just a coincidence."

"Sun Ben and Wu Jing's military strength are not bad, and their team is also very combat-effective. They are not exposed at present. They are a wonderful game of chess to cross the Yangtze River."

"The strength of Yuan Shu's navy is indeed stronger than that of our navy, but the discipline of Yuan Shu's team is far inferior to that of our army. When our army fought with Yuan Shu's army many times before, it has proved a situation. As long as the commander general of Yuan Shu's army encounters an accident, such as death in battle or missing on the battlefield, and there is no leader in the group, then Yuan Shu's team will immediately collapse and will no longer pose any threat to our army."

"In this way, as long as our army cooperates well with the Sun Wu team, let Sun Ben and Wu Jing first design to get rid of Chen Fen, the navy general of Yuan Shu's bandit army, and put Yuan Shu's navy in a state of chaos without a leader, then our navy immediately initiates a forced transit, and it will definitely be very successful!"

After hearing Deputy Director Tao's reasonable and intimate analysis, Lu Su, Liu Ye and Zhang Zhao carefully calculated, he found that if this could be the case, the self-army would indeed have a hope of breaking through the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, but Zhang Zhao, who is good at logistics and internal affairs, was still a little worried and reminded: "My lord, although this matter is very successful, our army is not ready to fully capture Jiangnan. After the army crossed the river, if the supply of food and supplies is not available, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"It doesn't matter, the combat effectiveness of our infantry and cavalry is far better than that of Yuan Shu and Liu Yao. As long as we cross the four or five thousand elite troops in the line, we will not only be able to protect ourselves, but also have some strength to make progress." Deputy Director Tao said confidently: "And Sun Ben and Wu Jingjiu are in Jiangdong, and are familiar with Jiangdong's geographical and people's conditions, the wide and narrow roads and the place where food and grass are stored. With them, they will lead the way and will not worry about not being able to use war to support the war and replenish the supply on the spot."

"But lord..." Zhang Zhao, who was cautious in nature, wanted to object, but Deputy Director Tao waved his hand and said, "Zi Bu, don't persuade him anymore. I have decided, so I will do it like this. Besides, I am not taking risks rashly. If Sun Ben and Wu Jing cannot send Chen Fen's head to me, I will not start a war across the river casually."

Seeing that Deputy Director Tao was firm in his attitude, Zhang Zhao couldn't continue to object, so he could only follow the crowd and sang a promise. Then Deputy Director Tao ordered Lu Su again: "Zijing, since the expedition has been prepared, then you will lead the navy to Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to lead the navy camp to Ruxukou, and then pretend to prepare for the navy drill, and secretly prepare for the ferry. After I led the cavalry and infantry to Ruxukou, then acted at the opportunity."

"No." Lu Su bowed his hand and agreed, and asked in confusion: "Lord, aren't you going south with Su?"

"I have to arrange the matter of instigating Sun Ben and Wu Jing assassinating Chen Fen." Deputy Director Tao replied with a smile: "Besides, I will lead the army south at this time. If Yuan Shu is so scared that he is in Chungu, then our army will have no chance to ferry?"

"But Chungu is not far from Wuhu. With such a big move by our army, it is still easy for Yuan Shu to take charge of Chungu in person?" Lu Su asked worriedly.

"Zi Jing's words are reasonable. I have to be careful about this matter. What should I do?"

This was the first time that Deputy Director Tao had omissions when he arranged the plan he had formulated, and he was caught off guard. Fortunately, Deputy Director Tao also had a relatively reliable adviser. Jia Lao Poison immediately reminded: "Lord, how about sending an army from Hefei to Liyang directly eastward? Niuzhu, south of Liyang, is also an ideal place to rush to rush to Ruxukou. As long as the lord is willing, our navy can go down the river and arrive at Liyang Wharf in one day and initiate rush to rush to Liyang. In this way, Yuan Shu and Liu Yao cannot judge the location of our rush to rush to the rush to the rush to do whatever he wants."
