Zhou Yu discussed some details with Guo Tu, and the two sides agreed to launch an attack on Xiapi City three days later.

After the conversation, Zhou Yu left the East China Sea, and he was going back to tell Sun Ce that he was ready to attack Xiapi.

After Zhou Yu left, Zhao Yun turned to Guo Tu and asked, "Mr. Gongze, did Your Majesty really agree to Sun Ce's request?" ”

Guan Yu felt very uncomfortable, this Liu Yu agreed to Sun Ce, that was to look down on their ability to capture the entire territory of Xuzhou.

Guo Tu said: "Your Majesty has a big plan, so he naturally has some arrangements. Xiapi City is the premier city in Xuzhou, the city is high and the ditch is deep, and it may not be so easy to break through Xiapi City. Although our army has the strength to fight, the losses will be very large. In addition, Sun Ce has already occupied Guangling County, and there will be an injury when the two tigers fight, so it is very likely that Sun Ce will take advantage of it, so it is better to give some benefits and let Sun Ce be a pawn to share the pressure for our army. ”

"I see!" Guan Yu's heart finally felt a little more comfortable.

Zhao Yun looked worried and said, "I'm afraid Sun Ce won't be so stupid, and Zhou Yu won't send troops so happily." ”

"Sun Ce will definitely not be so happy, but His Majesty verbally promised them to give them the counties south of Xiapi, even if they don't want to do anything to Xiapi, they will also seize the counties they want to get, so they will invisibly share our pressure and create opportunities for us. Two generals, please be ready, and start the strategy against Xiapi in three days. Guo Tu said.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun nodded, now was the time to attack Xiapi.

Zhou Yu returned to Guangling and said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, I have made an appointment with Liu Jun to launch an attack in three days. And Liu Yu also agreed to our previous conditions! ”

"Liu Yu is so generous?" Sun Ce is not so simple.

Zhou Yu said: "Of course Liu Yu will not be so happy. He is only paying lip service to us, and as for the possibility of doing it to us in the future. ”

Sun Ce said dissatisfiedly: "So shameless! We're just not going to join forces with them! Let's go it alone, and I, Sun Ce, haven't been afraid of anyone yet. ”

Sun Ce wants to go it alone!? Zhou Yu would not agree, and said: "Bo Fu, I know that you are extremely brave and not afraid of any opponent. It's just that Xuzhou is now three-legged, if our army does not join forces with Liu Jun, then Cao Jun and Liu Jun will make a move on us. At that time, our army will be driven out of Xuzhou, and the previous efforts will be in vain. ”

"That can't let Liu Yu take advantage of us!" Sun Ce was very unhappy.

"Bo Fu, whoever has a big fist in this era has the right to speak. We can't compare with Liu Yu's strength now, so we can only swallow our anger and slowly accumulate strength. As long as we are strong enough, Liu Yu doesn't dare to do anything to us! And this time I saw Liu Yu's soldiers and horses in the East China Sea, the order was forbidden, exuding a fierce atmosphere, our army is all from the south, Xuzhou has many plains, and Liu's cavalry is strong, these are not comparable to our army now. Bo Fu, you have to hold your breath! Zhou Yu persuaded bitterly.

Sun Ce was sullen, since his debut, except for some wretched qi from Yuan Shu, it has been smooth sailing all these years, and he has changed so much for a while, he can't accept it.

But Sun Ce was also a competitive man, and when he heard that Liu Yubing was strong and strong, he had a heart of confrontation. If he can't beat Liu Yu now, it doesn't mean that he won't be able to win in the future. He, Sun Ce, is still young, and he has the time and energy to fight against Liu Yu.

After communicating, Sun Ce regained his fighting spirit and said, "Gong Jin, what should we do?" ”

Zhou Yu was very happy that Sun Ce could accept his suggestion, and he also thought that Sun Ce would not be intimidated by Liu Yu.

"Liu Yu planned to make us his pawns, and we threw all the soldiers and horses into it as he wished. It's just that although we said that we were attacking Xiapi City, we first occupied all the counties south of Xiapi. If Guo Tu and others come to urge, we will go on an expedition, and there will be insufficient food and grass, and we will not be able to continue. I'm sure they'll be considerate of us. Zhou Yu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"You're so bad, but I like it!" Sun Ce put his arms around Zhou Yu's neck and said.

"Let it go! I'm running out of breath! "Zhou Yu's brain is congested.

Just when Sun Ce and Guan Yu reached a consensus, Liu Bei in Xiapi City was in extreme worry.

The news that Liu Xie and Cao Cao gave up Xuchang and moved the capital to Shouchun has already arrived, and Liu Yu has captured Xuchang. Qiandu said it very well, and to say that it was ugly was to run away. Liu Bei, who understands this well, naturally understands the meaning.

Liu Xie has no hope, and the Han world is no longer the big man it used to be.

Liu Bei now knows that he is on the wrong team, it is really a wrong step, he should have joined Liu Yu's team early, if that is the case, he is now a high-ranking official.

The past has become a thing of the past, Liu Bei is a broad person, and he doesn't count so much. He was now thinking about how to find an excuse to leave this dangerous place.

That's right, Liu Bei thought about running away again. Sun Ce occupied Guangling County, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Chen Bing, and Donghai Kingdom, and Liu Bei lived in fear every day in Xiapi City.

Cao Hong kept saying that he could provoke the relationship between Liu Jun and Sun Ce, and they only needed to defend Xiapi City and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

Liu Bei scoffed at this statement. Cao Hong is too arrogant, let alone sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, in case the two armies join forces, with the current strength, it is a question whether Xiapi City can be defended.

Once he is caught by Guan Yu, there will definitely be no good end.

Thinking that Xiapi City was breached, and he had no excuse to leave, Liu Bei's face was like a bitter melon. Liu Bei's head thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a suitable reason, which made him sad.

"Xuande Gong, we just need to die. Defend Xiapi City, Sun Ce and Guan Yu will definitely have contradictions, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the opportunity to regain the lost territory in one fell swoop! Cao Hong encouraged Liu Bei.

Liu Bei's ears were almost calloused by Cao Hong's words, and he was about to speak, when a Cao Hong's guard rushed in outside the door, and said to them happily: "Back to the two adults, the reinforcements sent by the prime minister from Yanzhou have arrived!" ”

"Haha, that's great. Xiapi is as stable as Mount Tai! Cao Hong said happily.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there?" Who is the leader? ”

Cao Hong's personal soldiers replied: "It's General Xiahou Yuan, who is leading 10,000 soldiers and horses!" Right now, I'm waiting at the Ximen of Xiapi. ”

Liu Bei smiled, he thought of a way to leave Xiapi.
