Chapter 440

Zhuge Liang persuaded Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Besides this.

Sun Ce's own uncle, Danyang Garrison Commander Wu Jing, will also send troops from Danyang to cooperate with Sun Ce and Liu Bei to attack Gu Yi.

It must be said that the plan formulated by Zhuge Liang is quite good.

If it works, Gu Yi will face a pincer attack from three directions at the same time.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare.

If it were land warfare, Gu Yi could completely kill through the enemy with elite troops like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

But during naval warfare, warships cannot easily change direction.

Encountering attacks from three directions at the same time, even the most elite naval force is very likely to face the end of being wiped out.

Of course.

Imagination is like this.

But whether the strategy of attacking Gu Yi from three sides in reality can work is still an unknown.

……

More than twenty days later.

North bank of the Yangtze River

Ninety thousand troops are ready to go, preparing to follow Gu Yi to cross the Yangtze River and launch an attack on the Jiangdong region.

Actually.

According to the originally formulated departure time.

This army of ninety thousand should have started the southern expedition half a month ago.

But for some reason, Gu Yi suddenly delayed the time of the southern expedition a little bit.

At this moment.

The sound of the expedition horn was slow to sound.

Just when all the generals and soldiers were getting impatient.

He saw not far away.

A cavalry unit of more than a hundred people was galloping towards this place.

The leader was Hua Xiong.

And on the back of Hua Xiong's warhorse, sat another scholar whose figure was less than six feet tall.

This person was Zhang Song.

As the Xuzhou Inspector appointed by Gu Yi, Zhang Song should have stayed in Peng Cheng to handle government affairs; how could he suddenly appear here?

He saw Hua Xiong and Zhang Song smiling as they got off their warhorses.

Zhang Song cupped his hands and said:

"Report to Prime Minister, Danyang Garrison Commander Wu Jing has been executed!"

"Before he was executed."

"In order to preserve the lives of the remaining members of the Wu family."

"Wu Jing has already confessed to me the entire conspiracy between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu."

After speaking.

Zhang Song took a box from his warhorse.

Inside the box, it was precisely Wu Jing's head.

Yes, Gu Yi had never forgotten a character like Danyang Garrison Commander Wu Jing.

Although this person only existed in fragments of plots in the Romance.

But in reality, this person played a crucial role in the event of Sun Ce attacking Jiangdong in the original history.

To put it bluntly.

If Zhou Yu was the number one contributor to Sun Ce taking Jiangdong.

Then Wu Jing must be the number two contributor.

As Sun Ce's own uncle, Wu Jing had an elite Danyang force with outstanding combat power under his command!

The combat effectiveness of this Danyang elite force was even better than the Danyang elite force under Tao Qian in the past.

Wu Jing is the own uncle of Sun Ce, Sun Shiwan, and Sun Shangxiang, that is, the elder brother of Lady Wu.

Back then.

When Sun Jian was still serving as a commandery official in Qiantang River, Wu Jing got to know him.

Neither of them could be considered aristocratic families, but they were both powerful local clans in Wu Commandery.

Therefore, Wu Jing decided to marry his younger sister, Lady Wu, to Sun Jian.

Under the effect of the marriage alliance.

The two of them joined forces in that little plot of land in Wu Commandery and quickly became the fiercest powerful clans in the local area.

Afterward.

Wu Jing and Sun Jian were transferred to Xuzhou Xiapi to serve because of their merits in pacifying water bandits.

Another few years passed, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept through the Han world.

Wu Jing and Sun Jian, these two powerful clans from Wu Commandery in Jiangdong, both made certain military contributions in this Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Wu Jing was promoted to Danyang Garrison Commander.

Sun Jian was enfeoffed as Marquis of Wucheng and Changsha Garrison Commander.

Although the two were far apart.

But because of the marriage relationship, they still maintained a very close connection.

Later, because of Gu Yi's butterfly effect.

Sun Jian was enfeoffed by Old Dong as Yuzhou Governor.

He died in the struggle with Yuan Shu and the Yuzhou aristocratic families.

Although Wu Jing could be considered a character.

But his courage was far inferior to the top group of heroes of the time.

Therefore, Wu Jing had never achieved much.

Instead, he had been hiding in that little plot of land in Danyang.

Until Sun Ce occupied Huainan, the connection between him and his uncle Wu Jing became close again.
