Chapter 114: The Storm Stirs

Previous Chapter

Let's say that after Zhou Yu finished eating mutton skewers from Liu Xie's palace and returned to his mansion to digest it for a long time, he still went to see Sun Ce and told him Liu Xie's thoughts and plans.

Of course, Zhou Yu didn't say that he had eaten the food he had eaten for the first time in his life in Liu Xie's palace, because that would make Sun Ce feel that he was too close to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie was just a tool man to Sun Ce, a canary raised in the palace.

For Liu Xie's ideas, Sun Ce recognized more than Zhou Yu, according to his own words, since the battle with Jingzhou was already an inevitable situation, it was better to prepare early, and take the initiative to attack once the opportunity was right, and destroy Liu Biao.

"Bo Fu, let's go to war with Jingzhou in Jiangdong, it's not Cao Cao who fights Yuan Shao, and those who win the water army win the world!"

"This is natural, my Jiangdong naval army, in fact, has been training since I took over my father's mantle, but in the first few years, the money and food are insufficient, and the craftsmen are also poor, so the progress is slow, but now, there is already some scale, although it can't catch up with the Jingzhou naval army on the surface, but Your Majesty has one thing to say is still good, although there are many people and horses under Liu Biao's command, but the battle formation has been sparse for a long time, if it really fights, it may not be my Jiangdong Erlang's opponent!"

The reason why Sun Ce is called the little overlord is because he does have such a domineering spirit and dares to win more with less, which is quite similar to Cao Cao.

"Then let's follow what Your Majesty said, while secretly raising food and grass to prepare for the battle, we will observe Liu Biao's actions against Liu Bei, and see if Guan Yu will come to greet Mrs. Mi again!"

"Good! But when it comes to this expedition, I still want to leave Gongjin in Wu County to preside over the overall situation, I will take a few old generals to fight Liu Biao, and, last time I observed His Majesty some kung fu, if Your Majesty is to drive the expedition in person, what will Liu Biao's reaction be? ”

"Bo Fu wants His Majesty to go with him?" Hearing Sun Ce's idea, Zhou Yu's breathing immediately became a little shorter, although Liu Xie is just a puppet, but Sun Ce is still a little bit bold in doing this, not to mention anything else, in case Liu Xie has three long and two short on the battlefield, Sun Ce's infamy will be confirmed.

"Let Your Majesty go, it will indeed be a surprise, but the risk involved, Bo Fu also has to think about it!"

"How I brought him there, how to bring him back, he will cooperate, after all, he also wants our Jiangdong to quickly unify the Central Plains, isn't it good to give him a fief to let him get away with it when the time comes?"

Sun Ce obviously thought that he had already taken Liu Xie to death, and his words were confident, Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, but he didn't know why in his heart, and he always felt a little bottomless when he didn't know something.

"Why don't Bo Fu wait in Wu County, and I will take Your Majesty and a few old generals to fight?"

Influenced by this somewhat uneasy emotion, Zhou Yu asked tentatively.

"Others don't understand my Sun Ce, don't Gong Jin understand? I just have to take the soldiers and horses to fight in order to be happy, although you are also both civil and military, but let me guard in Wu County, I won't do it! ”

Zhou Yu still knows what kind of temper Sun Ce is, but whenever there is a war, he has to be personally recruited, which is actually understandable in this era, after all, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are also pro-recruited.

But what Zhou Yu knew was that Sun Ce's personal campaign was different from Cao Cao, although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were also armored and long swords on the battlefield, but the purpose was more to supervise the battle and improve the morale of the soldiers under their command.

And Sun Ce not only wanted to play such a role when he arrived on the battlefield, but he himself also held back a momentum every time to save people's heads.

Originally, Zhou Yu was not worried about Sun Ce's character and behavior, until he was almost assassinated when he was hunting.

Even Sun Ce himself admitted that if it weren't for Liu Xie's letter to him in advance, he might not have been able to escape that catastrophe.

It's not that those three people are invincible, but those three enemies, that scene, and that time seem to be tailor-made for him Sun Ce.

If he didn't know anything beforehand, those three men would have been able to kill him, but he would have been enough for three Assassins.

Zhou Yu analyzed the reason for this with Sun Ce afterwards, that is, why people can calculate so accurately.

Zhou Yu felt that there was only one reason for this, that is, Sun Ce was too sharp in Jiangdong on weekdays, what kind of character he was, what habits he had, it was completely very easy to understand, such a character, of course, was easy to be targeted by opponents and find a way to assassinate him.

According to Zhou Yu's suggestion, Sun Ce has indeed been a lot more low-key recently, but when there is a war, of course he can't be low-key anymore, and it is necessary to personally lead the troops.

"It's good to take Your Majesty, even if you don't know how to use weapons, your fists and feet are not bad, but Bo Fu Ke has always been optimistic about Your Majesty, if you want to take the same boat with him, water battles are not as good as land battles, Bo Fu only needs to sit in town, and you must not charge on a small boat!"

Almost every expedition before Zhou Yu would tell Sun Ce about the precautions for the expedition, and Sun Ce would generally follow Zhou Yu's suggestions.

This time, of course, he also understood that Zhou Yu asked him to take Liu Xie with him, which was also in disguise to ensure his safety.

"I'll go and prepare the soldiers and horses, you and Your Majesty will contact your Majesty more, after all, Mrs. Mi is still with him, if Liu Bei or Guan Yu has any news, it will most likely be passed directly to Your Majesty."

Without going through others, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu decided on a strategy to fight Jingzhou, and there is another detail that Zhou Yu did not say, that is, secretly preparing soldiers and horses, once the war starts, it must be calculated intentionally or unintentionally.

This was all what Liu Xie told him, but when he told Sun Ce, it became his own advice.

Zhou Yu is not a stingy person, and his status in Sun Ce's heart cannot be improved in such a way, he just thinks that if he tells Sun Ce everything Liu Xie said, Sun Ce will not suspect that Liu Xie has any plans.

He didn't know why, but he just didn't want Liu Xie to be suspected, in his own words, maybe he ate Liu Xie's mutton skewers for nothing.

After Zhou Yu and Sun Ce made this determination, they both understood that the situation of the Han Dynasty had actually been stirred by them when Guan Yu returned to Xiangyang.

As for the result of Jiangdong, they don't know, because this is Sun Ce's strongest opponent since his debut.

However, they also understand that if they want to dominate and truly transform from a prince to an emperor, it is indispensable to win more tough battles with less, and it is better to fight early than late.
