As Guo Jia analyzed, it is basically the same as the original trajectory of history. Xu Kun quickly got along with Guo Tung, Qin Mu and others, and they would get along with each other if they had anything to do. They practiced together during the day and drank and bragged with them at night. Sun He was more diligent. No matter what happened, when Mrs. Wu ordered him to do it immediately, and it was done quickly and well.

Mrs. Wu soon fell in love with this diligent and steady young man. Sun Ce immediately picked twenty loyal and honest guards and handed them over to Sun He, who was responsible for taking care of Mrs. Wu and his younger siblings' daily life. After the assessment, Xu Kun entered the personal guard camp and became a military marquis under Guo Ting, leading two hundred people. The reason why he did not become a Chengdu lieutenant was because his martial arts skills were not as good as those veterans who practiced every day. Giving him a while was no problem to be a lieutenant.

A few days later, Lu Meng returned with a group of bandits. There were about a hundred people, all of whom were seventeen or eighteen years old, and the oldest was no more than twenty. Looking at their fierce looks, Sun Ce couldn't help but secretly sigh that the Han people were so fierce, and there were young and dandy boys everywhere.

Lu Meng brought back a message: Jiang Gan was in trouble and was arrested by Jiujiang Prefect Zhou Ang.

Sun Ce was shocked and asked for details.

Lu Meng took a breath and told the story. After arriving at Yingkou, he broke up with Jiang Gan. He contacted the young men among the bandits on the shore of Shaopi, and Jiang Gan rushed back to Shouchun to recruit people willing to join the army, and at the same time spread the news that Sun Ce's army was coming. They had made an appointment to meet in Feikou, in the northeast corner of Shaopi. Lu Meng completed the task and arrived at Feikou on schedule, but did not see Jiang Gan's shadow. After inquiring, he learned that Jiujiang Prefect Zhou Ang led the county troops to station in Shouchun, and Jiang Gan was arrested by him.

Sun Ce was very anxious, but Guo Jia was not panicked at all. He said that it was spring now, and spring was the season for growth, so it was not advisable to kill people. Zhou Ang was a famous scholar, and they believed in this, otherwise Jiang Gan's head would have been on the top of the city. Besides, the Jiang family was also a little powerful in Shouchun. It was not an ordinary citizen, so Zhou Ang would not provoke them easily. Jiang Gan was just recruiting soldiers, not rebelling, and this kind of thing was very common. If Sun Ce was not standing behind Jiang Gan, Zhou Ang might not care.

Recruiting refugees to join the army is also a reduction in uncertainty factor. It only benefits Zhou Ang, but does not harm.

If the person who said this was not Guo Jia, Sun Ce would definitely be slapped in the face. But he was the Guo family, so Sun Ce chose to believe him.

"Fengxiao, what should we do next?"

"What else can I do? Of course I want to seek justice." Guo Jia's eyes lit up. It didn't seem like he was in trouble, but he seemed to have waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "General, don't you want to deal with Zhou Ang? Now the opportunity is here."

Guo Jia quickly proposed a plan of one light and one dark, first polite and then military: first issue a document to Zhou Ang in the name of acting as the governor of Yuzhou and taking charge of the southern military, asking him to bring Jiujiang County troops to escort food and grass immediately. If the delay is not done, Sun Ce will go to Jiujiang in person to execute the military orders of the Grand Marshal Zhu Yan. This is bright. At the same time, Guo Jia selected a few people from the young men brought by Lu Meng, and let them sneak into Jiujiang County, inquire about the news, or wait for action. Since they are all from Jiujiang, they must be familiar with the soldiers of Jiujiang County, and it is not difficult to find a few fellow villagers to find out the situation. This is dark.

If Zhou Ang knew about the situation, sent food, and released Jiang Gan, it would be easy to say. If Zhou Ang didn't know about the situation, he would take the opportunity to kill him and control Jiujiang. The situation is not clear at the moment, and Zhu Jun is preparing for war. Sun Ce needs to stabilize the south. Even if he knows this, he will not be able to make a big fuss. If the imperial edict is issued, Sun Ce would rather come to Jiujiang as the prefect and wait for an opportunity to control Yangzhou.

Yangzhou Prefecture is located in Liyang, Jiujiang County. It controls the river and is an important place for crossing the river and Jinkou, a military strategist.

Sun Ce understood what Guo Jia meant as soon as he heard it and asked him to start doing it immediately. Guo Jia and the boys brought by Lu Meng talked one by one, and then picked more than 30 people to sneak back to Jiujiang County. Sun Ce could only watch this kind of thing. He had no experience in this area and was far less easy to play with as Guo Jia, so he simply let Guo Jia go and do it.

As the war was approaching, Sun Ce asked Sun He to escort his mother and younger brothers back to Pingyu first, while he led the infantry and cavalry to move the camp. Since he was polite first and then the army, he could not let Zhou Ang catch the handle, so he left Lujiang County, returned to Runan County, and camped at the county boundary between Jiujiang and Runan.

Xinpi hurried into the prefect's mansion and bowed his hands in a hurry.

"Liufujun, is there any news on Pingchun's direction?"

Liu Xun was drinking when he saw Xinpi coming in, he quickly got up to greet him and wiped his hands with a cloth towel. After hearing Xinpi's words, he was confused. "No, everything is normal."

Xin Pi was stunned and stared at Liu Xun for a long time without saying anything. Everything is normal? How stupid are you to say such things? News came half a month ago that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were led by Pingyu and Wan County to Pingchun respectively. Their troops were far greater than Li Tong and the guards of the Sanguan. Even if the Sanguan was well-off, the situation was not easy to be optimistic. How could everything be normal?

"No new news?"

"No." Liu Xun shook his head repeatedly, and the fat flesh on his cheeks shook. After staying in Jiangxia for several months, he quickly became enlightened.

“Never?”

"I haven't had it yet, not even a bamboo slip." In order to show that everything he said was the truth, Liu Xun waved his arm hard.

Xinpi stomped his feet. If it was broken, no news would be bad news. When the two armies were fighting, no matter whether they were win or defeat, the front line would always send back news, ask for help, report safety, or send good news. There was no news.

Seeing Xinpi was so anxious, but said nothing, Liu Xun was both embarrassed and uneasy. Xinpi was a famous scholar and Yuan Shao's special envoy. If he said something bad in front of Yuan Shao, his future would be worrying. But he didn't know how to speak, and was anxious. Huang Yi walked in quickly. Seeing Xinpi was also there, he hesitated for a moment, glanced at Liu Xun, and quietly hid the two bamboo slips in his hand in his sleeve.

Xinpi looked at him coldly. "Did Li Tong surrender or did he lose the Three Passes?"

"Xin Jun misunderstood..."

"Do I have any misunderstandings? You know what you are doing if it is good news?" Xinpi exposed Huang Yi without hesitation.

Huang Yi blushed and took out the bamboo slips awkwardly and handed them to Liu Xun. Liu Xun opened them and saw that his originally rosy face was immediately pale. Li Tong surrendered and lost the three passes. The most incredible thing that Sun Ce did not attack the city at all. The biggest movement was that he checked the people in Langling and then retreated.

"Li Tong, this bastard, dares to betray me. I want to kill him!" Liu Xun suddenly became furious, smashed the bamboo slip on the table, and jumped to the ground again.

When Xinpi heard Li Tong's name, he suddenly remembered something. He picked up the bamboo slips from the soup, read it quickly, and sneered: "This is the result of you believing in these ordinary men. The three gates are lost, the Jiangxia gate is open, Liu Fujun, do you still want to stay in Xiling and wait for death?"

Liu Xun blushed and quickly got out of the table, rushed to Xinpi, bowed and bowed. "Mr. Xin, what should I do?"

Xinpi slowed down his tone. "I asked for help from the leader of Yuan, Zhu Ling was in the sour jujube, and he could march into Runan at any time. In addition, if you go north and take back the three passes, I can contact the Runan family for you to fight against Sun Ce." He looked at Huang Yi. "The Huang family is a Jiangxia clan, so you can't watch it on the wall at this time."
