Chapter 38: Cao Liu Shengzi [First Shift + Second Shift]

Sun Ce began to sit still after he was roughly familiar with the situation in Bingzhou, and he went to Su Yunqing one by one, wanting Su Yunqing and Yuan Shao to go to war.

Su Yunqing didn't say anything about Sun Ce's construction, but Xun You shook his head first: "I'm afraid it's not the best time now, we have to wait." โ€

"Wait?"

Sun Ce couldn't figure it out: "Do we have to wait for Yuan Shao to attack Qingzhou before attacking him?" โ€

Now that half of Qingzhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao, if you continue to wait, you will really have to wait until Yuan Shao conquers the entire Qingzhou.

"When Yuan Shao defeats Qingzhou, his strength will only be stronger, right? At that time, it will be a great loss to fight again. โ€

Sun Ce felt that Xun You was so unreliable, if he fought a war, he had to be quick and ruthless, how could he wait for the enemy to become strong first and then fight? Isn't that asking for trouble?

Seeing that Sun Ce didn't understand, Xun You had to explain: "Qingzhou has been occupied by the Yellow Turban for too long, and all aspects have been greatly damaged, going to fight Yuan Shao at this time will only make him stop the battle with Qingzhou and turn to deal with us, just imagine, even if we win Yuan Shao, what can we get?" โ€

All they got was Jizhou and Qingzhou, which was still in tatters by the yellow scarves, and then they had to spend their own energy to subdue those yellow scarves, and of course, the construction of the state also had to spend their own money, which was too cost-effective.

But what if they let Yuan Shao fight first?

"Of course, Yuan Shao will not let it go after he conquers Qingzhou, we can wait for him to carry out preliminary governance before attacking, and then not only can Jizhou be in the bag, but Qingzhou can also be taken away."

Xun You's words sounded very reasonable, but Sun Ce still had doubts: "Wouldn't that make Yuan Shao even stronger?" โ€

If Yuan Shao co-opts the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, then his strength will be greatly developed, and I am afraid that by that time, it will not be easy for Su Yunqing to fight even if he wants to, and it can even be said that they are at risk of being destroyed by Yuan Shao.

But in Xun You's opinion, this question is better answered: "Will Yuan Shao really become strong immediately after he conquers Qingzhou?" I don't see that being the case. โ€

Seeing that Sun Ce still didn't understand, Xun You asked, "Do you think that the war is just about the number of soldiers and horses?" โ€

Of course not.

If you only rely on the number of soldiers and horses to win, then there is no need to fight at all, everyone can stand together and count the number of heads to determine the winner.

The war is not only fought by the number of soldiers and horses, but also a contest of comprehensive strength.

Yuan Shao must want to develop and expand himself after conquering Qingzhou, so he must do two things, one is to incorporate the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and the other is to build and develop Qingzhou.

Let's talk about the incorporation of the army first, what kind of people the Yellow Turban Army are In fact, everyone knows what kind of people they are, saying that it is the Yellow Turban Army, but in fact it is more appropriate to call them Yellow Turban thieves, so if these people are co-opted, then the effort required is probably several times that of converting ordinary people into soldiers, which can not be done in a day or two.

As for the construction of Qingzhou, it is even more cheating, the Yellow Turban has always only understood destruction and does not understand construction, Qingzhou has been in a mess for so many years by the Yellow Turban, if Yuan Shao wants to rebuild Qingzhou, it will take a lot of effort and spend a lot of money.

No matter which of these two things to do, it takes a lot of time and energy, and a lot of money and resources to be invested, so to speak, as long as they don't wait for Yuan Shao for too long, such as waiting for three or five years for Yuan Shao to develop, in fact, it will be better for Yuan Shao to lay down Qingzhou first.

Whether it is the co-optation of the Yellow Turban or the construction of Qingzhou, it will make Yuan Shao even weaker, at least before he does these two things, since this is the case, it is better to fight while Yuan Shao is the weakest.

Of course, there is another benefit to this move.

"Judging from common sense, most people will think that it is better to attack Yuan Shao when Yuan Shao attacks Qingzhou, and even Yuan Shao himself will think so, if we don't even fight at this time, then naturally, it is even less likely to fight him at other times."

Not to mention that Zhao Yun had brought the army to Sili before, so scared that Yuan Shao even sent Yan Liang back, but Zhao Yun was stunned in the end and didn't fight, which gave Yuan Shao the illusion that Su Yunqing would not beat him.

Sun Ce must admit that what Xun You said is still very reasonable, but he always feels that it is not a matter to hold back in Bingzhou like this.

Of course, Xun You can also see Sun Ce's thoughts, in fact, Sun Ce's ideas are very simple.

Sun Ce left Yuan Shu to defect to Su Yunqing, but Su Yunqing's subordinates did not lack generals, let alone soldiers and horses, after Sun Ce came, he found that there were a bunch of martial arts better than him, and there were more military achievements higher than him, plus Sun Ce's age was a little younger, which made Sun Ce's confidence not very sufficient.

For Sun Ce, he urgently needs a war to prove himself, he needs to make enough credit to prove his worth, and at the same time, let those Jiangdong children who came with him be able to straighten their backs and speak, without having to feel like they are under the fence.

Of course, Su Yunqing's generous treatment of Sun Ce also forced Sun Ce to eagerly want to make contributions, so as to prove that Su Yunqing was not wrong, he was not a white eater.

What's more, only with high military achievements can there be better development, he is indeed divided into a small county now, but is Sun Ce's ambition just such a small county town?

Of course not, Sun Ce couldn't allow himself to be confined to a small county town.

After Xun You's explanation, Sun Ce naturally understood that this was not the time to fight Yuan Shao, but just ......

"If we can't fight Yuan Shao, can't we fight other places?"

Sun Ce thought for a while and said: "It's not that there is no one in the Sili area, as long as you send an army over, you can get a large piece of land without fighting." โ€

Speaking of which, there is no need for Xun You to explain, Su Yunqing feels that the time has come to pretend to be forced.

"Of course you can't occupy Si Li, the position of Si Li at this time is special, even if there is no soldier and a soldier stationed in it, we can't capture it lightly," Su Yunqing tried to put on an unfathomable expression that Jia Xu usually fooled people with: "Let's talk about Si Li itself, this place is first Dong Zhuo and then Li Dao Guo Yan, it can be said that Si Li has been completely harmed, and now Si Li is full of wasteland and ruins, and I can't see a single person when I walk ten miles, why should we occupy such a place?" What benefits do you get after taking it? In fact, we don't get any reads; โ€

Seeing Sun Ce worship her (...... Su Yunqing's analysis became more energetic, it was in vain that she was scolded by Jia Xu when she asked this stupid question last time, and this time she must show off her when she has the opportunity: "Of course, this is not the point, after all, the wasteland is not terrible, this can be rebuilt, the important thing is that after taking this place, there will be no buffer zone between us and other places, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, these places will all be close to us, if we are connected to these places, can we still develop with peace of mind?" โ€

Of course not, when the time comes, they have to be careful about whether these families will have any ideas, and every day they toss back and forth between the east and the west, and they have to delay a lot of business.

At this time, Sili was a wasteland without people, and at the same time, it separated Su Yunqing from the powerful in the south, so that they had a buffer area between each other, which was not directly connected, and they could basically be at peace with each other, which was very beneficial for Su Yunqing to attack Yuan Shao and stabilize the north and grasp their own development.

It can be said that before Su Yunqing conquered Jizhou and Qingzhou, it was impossible for her to occupy the division, not even Su Yunqing, all the princes in the world would not occupy the division at such a time, once the division was occupied, then it would mean that this melee between the heroes had entered the โ–กโ–ก, and it was necessary to decide a winner desperately.

Su Yunqing's words made Sun Ce extremely frustrated, Yuan Shao can't fight Si Li can't occupy it, so he can't do anything?

Xun You knew very well the reason why Sun Ce was so eager to go to war, so he said very simply: "The general doesn't have to be like this, although he won't fight for the time being, it's not that he won't fight in the future, the general might as well prepare for the future wholeheartedly at this time, and when it's really time to fight, he can show his skills." โ€

Of course, Xun You also added by the way: "You must know that Bingzhou does not look at others, only looks at ability, and when Yuan Shao is attacked in the future, the candidate for this vanguard has to be fought for by himself, not to mention others, Feng Xian and Lao Dian naturally want to grab this position, and Zilong is probably not willing to ......be left behind."

As soon as he heard this, Sun Ce immediately became nervous: "Then where is it!" My Jiangdong children can't be behind people! You wait, I'll go back to training, and when it's time to fight Yuan Shao, the position of the vanguard must be mine! โ€

Now Sun Ce naturally knows that he is not the opponent of Lu Bu and others, to tell the truth, the Jiangdong Army he brought is indeed an elite division, but it is still a big gap compared to the completely unscientific force value of this group of Bingzhou, not to mention that there are many plains in the north, and the cavalry cannot be weak if you want to be the vanguard, but no matter how brave the Jiangdong Army brought by Sun Ce is, it is still a big difference compared to the cavalry.

Sun Ce suddenly had a deep sense of crisis.

Not long after, Sun Ce's family also came to Bingzhou, Sun Ce really wanted to stay in Bingzhou, Su Yunqing was good to him, so he simply moved his family to Bingzhou, after all, for Sun Ce at this time, other places were not very stable.

Liu Biao in Jingzhou has a grudge against him for killing his father, not to mention Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, as for Yangzhou...... Yuan Shu thought about it all day long and said that he wanted to fight Yangzhou, but Sun Ce didn't dare to leave his family in these places, so he simply came to Bingzhou in the end.

That is, this time, Su Yunqing also met Sun Quan, who was particularly famous later.

Of course, Sun Quan was just a child at this time, but even if Sun Quan was just a child, it should not be underestimated, when Sun Ce took Sun Quan to meet Su Yunqing, he said that Sun Quan had been smart since he was a child, much stronger than his elder brother.

Sun Quan is indeed very well-behaved and intelligent, probably because he has been instructed and knows the relationship between Sun Ce and Su Yunqing now, Sun Quan is very likable, the little child has a bun face with a little baby fat, his eyes are also round, he looks smart and smart, every move and every word and deed shows that he has a good family background, no one will not like such a child.

Su Yunqing pinched Sun Quan's face with his hand.

Emma! This is Sun Quan!

If you really want to say what Sun Quan did, Su Yunqing is not particularly clear, but what she knows is - Cao Liu should be like Sun Zhongmou! Sounds pretty bite, doesn't it?

Of course, no matter how scummy Sun Quan is in the future, he is now a cute little Zhengtai, and probably to please Su Yunqing, this kid is selling cute_(:3ใ‚โˆ )_

Although Su Yunqing also admitted that this child did sell a lot of cuteness.

As an encouragement to Sun Quan's efforts to sell cuteness, Su Yunqing unceremoniously pinched Sun Quan's bulging bun face =v=

And it didn't take long for Sun Ce's family to arrive, and it was Liu Biao's messenger.

Su Yunqing was stunned when she heard this: "Liu Biao? โ€

What did Liu Biao come to her for?

Su Yunqing thought that she and Liu Biao had nothing to do with each other, let alone meeting, they hadn't even communicated, Liu Biao was just a master of success, and now there was a division between him and Su Yunqing, it can be said that the two families have nothing to do with each other, what kind of envoy did he send to Su Yunqing?

Although he was puzzled, Su Yunqing still met this Liu Biao's messenger.

Liu Biao's envoy is named Zhuge Xuan, and it is actually not a big deal for him to visit Su Yunqing, that is, Liu Biao has nothing to do and wrote a handwritten letter to pull the relationship, saying that he is very friendly to Su Yunqing, and everyone can make a friend or something.

Now that Su Yunqing occupies the land of the two states, and the elite of the state is famous all over the world, it can be regarded as a relatively powerful one, and now it has been a long time since Su Yunqing conquered Youzhou, if you want to say that Su Yunqing is recuperating and expanding the army, it should have been completed a long time ago, everyone is waiting to see Su Yunqing's next move, but Su Yunqing just doesn't move.

Of course, Su Yunqing's move at every turn actually had nothing to do with Liu Biao, but last time Su Yunqing asked Zhao Yun to garrison Si Li's actions made Liu Biao realize one thing, Si Li is indeed a buffer zone, but if Su Yunqing really wants to cross this buffer zone to attack him, it is not impossible, just look at the last time Su Yunqing sent troops to Si Li, but everyone did not dare to stop it.

Su Yunqing forcibly took Sun Ce away from Yuan Shu's men, but Yuan Shu could only endure it.

Therefore, Liu Biao felt that he had to express his attitude to Su Yunqing no matter what, Liu Biao himself did not have much ambition, and just wanted to live in his Jingzhou, so he was not Su Yunqing's enemy, and the two families could get along amicably.

Although Su Yunqing was quite disdainful of Liu Biao's attitude, she still expressed her gratitude to Zhuge Xuan on the surface, and said that she also knew that Liu Biao was a relative of the Han family, and she was elegant and kind, and now Liu Biao was willing to associate with her, which was naturally the best.

It's just that Su Yunqing secretly couldn't help frowning, in her opinion, this matter is really a trivial matter, even if she wants to send a letter, she doesn't need Zhuge Xuan's level, wouldn't it be good to send a messenger casually.

Sure enough, when talking about this, Zhuge Xuan sighed, he said that in fact, he came to Bingzhou not only to deliver letters, he had a brother named Zhuge Jue was originally Qingzhou Taishan County, and then the Yellow Turban thieves troubled Qingzhou, Qingzhou was in chaos, and then Yuan Shao attacked, Qingzhou was even more unable to live, so Zhuge Jue wanted to take his family to other places to escape the war, but Jizhou Yuan Shao was fighting Qingzhou, Yanzhou Cao Cao was also fighting with Xuzhou Tao Qian, this world is not peaceful anywhere, and finally Zhuge Jue can't help it, Came with family and state reads;.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, Zhuge Jue died of illness not long ago, leaving only a few young children unattended, Zhuge Jue's wife died very early, and now Zhuge Jue is also gone, several children are unaccompanied, Zhuge Jue had asked someone to send a letter to Jingzhou before his death, asking his younger brother Zhuge Xuan to take care of a few children.

The relationship between the two brothers of the Zhuge family is still very good, Zhuge Xuan heard the news and immediately rushed over, but he was Liu Biao's subordinate, and if he wanted to go out to ask for a long vacation, of course, Liu Biao had to approve it, Liu Biao saw that Zhuge Xuan was going to come to Merge Zhou, that was just right, so he asked Zhuge Xuan to visit Su Yunqing at the same time as he came to Merge Zhou, and it was important to establish a good relationship between Jingzhou and Bingzhou.

As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately expressed their understanding, and at the same time expressed their condolences for Zhuge Jue's matter.

It's just that when Su Yunqing heard Zhuge Xuan talk about Zhuge Xuan's children, she was confused.

Zhuge has a child named Xiaoliang...... If you consider adding your last name...... Zhuge Liang?!

Zhuge Liang?!

Is this really not a joke?!

How did Zhuge Liang come to the state! I read less, you don't want a donkey for me!

Su Yunqing only remembered what he was looking at the thatched cottage and what he was out of, but wasn't the location of these stories a place like Yizhou, Jingzhou?

Su Yunqing always thought that Zhuge Liang was from Jingzhou!

How did you become a Qingzhou person now?

No, in fact, Zhuge Liang is really not from Qingzhou, he is from Xuzhou......_(:3ใ‚โˆ )_

His hometown was in Xuzhou, and his father was an official in Qingzhou, and then his father died before he followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Jingzhou.

So...... This qiฤ“ is fate.

Zhuge Liang was so stumbling away from all the princes in the north, and finally grew up in Jingzhou, and then met Liu Bei_(:3ใ‚โˆ )_

Of course, for Su Yunqing at this time, no matter what was going on, since she knew that the person Zhuge Xuan wanted to take away was Zhuge Liang...... โ†’_โ†’ hehe, it's a fool to let him take her away!

Regardless of whether Zhuge Liang is willing to be used by Su Yunqing when he grows up in the future, at least he will keep people first, if such a high IQ is let go, Su Yunqing himself will despise himself.

It's just that you can't directly tell Zhuge Xuan about this matter, I have a crush on your nephew, so you can't take him away, then Zhuge Xuan must think that Su Yunqing is crazy.

So after sending Zhuge Xuan away, Su Yunqing looked at Jia Xu, who was accompanying him: "Wenhe, I have a very difficult matter, can you help me think of a way?" โ€

Jia Xu was used to it, and said directly: "The lord might as well speak up if there is anything." โ€

Su Yunqing sighed and said, "The nephew mentioned by Zhuge Xuan just now is the one named Zhuge Liang, I don't want him to go, can you think of a way to keep him in Bingzhou?" โ€

Jia Xu: "...... Zhuge Liang doesn't seem to be ten years old? โ€

Lord, what do you want to do when you stare at a little doll who is not yet ten years old! Sun Quan's little face is not enjoyable, are you going to find another Zhuge Liang pinch?

Jia Xu was suddenly a little worried, saying that Su Yunqing should not have been suddenly inspired by some strange โ™‚ love, right?

"I don't care, Wenhe, I'm going to leave Zhuge Liang, you give me a way to reads;!"

Su Yunqing couldn't say why, so she was simply unreasonable, anyway, she was the lord!

Jia Xu stared at Su Yunqing worriedly for a long time, and finally nodded: "...... Okay, I'll find a way to keep him. โ€

What can I do if I don't stay? Su Yunqing has already spoken clearly, and he, who is a strategist, can only worry about his own willfulness, which can probably only be called Su's five-year-old master_(:3ใ‚โˆ )_

Besides, Su Yunqing is the lord he cultivated single-handedly, what is Zhuge Liang? If Su Yunqing is happy, if he wants to stay, Jia Xu feels that it is nothing to be used to this kind of trivial matter=v=

It's just that compared to Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu actually pays more attention to Cao Cao's affairs, unlike Yuan Shao, they really can't take care of Cao Cao for a while, and Cao Cao will definitely grow into one of the northern princes who can compete with Su Yunqing in the future as long as he has the opportunity.

Cao Cao's opportunity is obviously Xuzhou, if Cao Cao can defeat Xuzhou, then the shape of the north will be different in the future.

It's just that......

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Cao Mengde is afraid that he will suffer a loss this time. โ€

Speaking of Xuzhou's affairs, Su Yunqing was obviously much more serious, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How can you suffer?" โ€

"Xuzhou's Chen father and son are not such simple characters, obviously Cao Cao underestimated Chen Deng this time."

Although Chen Deng is young, he is truly not to be underestimated.

It's just that Jia Xu talked about this, but he didn't think that Chen Deng would really stop Cao Cao, in Jia Xu's opinion, Chen Deng's action this time may have other meanings.

Regardless of Chen Deng's deep meaning, at least the current Cao Cao is indeed encountering a big problem.

Because of his contempt for Chen Deng, Cao Cao was ruthlessly cheated by this young man, and the city that was originally laid down was almost lost.

At that time, the Xuzhou soldiers had already killed the city, and Cao Cao appeared on the front line very bravely in order to boost morale, so he stood on the head of the city and killed the enemy with his soldiers.

Cao Cao's move looked heroic but also dangerous, and he was almost slashed by the Xuzhou soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city, but it was Cheng Yu next to him who saved his life in time.

At that time, Cheng Yu kicked the Xuzhou soldiers who were about to sneak attack behind Cao Cao, and directly kicked the person out three feet away, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Cao Cao was dumbfounded.

Zhongde, your combat power is good!

Cheng Yu turned his face and just wanted to ask Cao Cao if he was hurt, when he saw Cao Cao rushing up with a brisk step, taking his hand and asking, "Zhongde, can I ask you something?" โ€

Cheng Yu suddenly had a not-so-good premonition: "...... My lord, please speak. โ€

Cao Cao: "Let me ask you, are you interested in becoming a military general?" โ€

Cheng Yu: "......"

Lord, you want to be a general, you want to go crazy, right?! (โ•ฏโ€ตโ–กโ€ฒ)โ•ฏ๏ธตโ”ปโ”โ”ป
