Before, the entire Jiangdong was frightened by Liu Yu's actions, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were waiting for each day, and all kinds of grain, grass, materials, troops, and warships were ready to go to war with Liu Yu at any time.

But after waiting for a long time, Liu Yu's troops in Wulin Port did not want to start fighting at all.

However, the information of Liu Yu's attack was not received, but the news that Jiangxia County was taken by Liu Yu was received. At this point, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce both knew that they had been tricked by Liu Yu. But they didn't have a loss, and the biggest loss was Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei has become a homeless lost dog again.

"Liu Yu, this guy is really treacherous enough, he dares to bluff like this." Sun Ce was greatly annoyed.

Zhou Yu had a sad face, as if he had expected something very bad.

Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yu was like this, and he was afraid that something bad would happen, so he asked, "Gong Jin, do you know something?" ”

Zhou Yu came back to his senses from his thoughts, and then said: "Liu Yu played this hand beautifully, he knew that we were united with Liu Bei and Cao Cao, so he bluffed first and defeated the weakest Liu Bei. The biggest trump card in Liu Bei's hand is Liu Qi, and with Liu Qi's existence, there will be potential dangers in Jingzhou. Now Liu Qi must have fallen into the hands of Liu Yu, and the Jingzhou occupied by Liu Yu has been stabilized. We've lost a lot of help. ”

"What's there to be afraid of. Liu Yu just stabilized himself, we are not muddy, he thinks about it, I, Sun Ce, will definitely not be afraid of him. Sun Ce said arrogantly.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "Bo Fu, you are still so simple. If Liu Bei loses Jiangxia, in addition to losing a piece of strength on our side, Liu Bei may also become a burden to us. ”

"Burden?" Sun Ce couldn't have imagined so much.

"Bo Fu, think about it, if Liu Bei is defeated by Liu Yu. Where is he going next? Cao Cao in the north is too far away from Liu Bei, Liu Bei came out of Cao Cao before, and he will definitely not go to Cao Cao. Liu Zhang in the west doesn't have to be counted on, there is Jingzhou in the middle, and Liu Bei will only go over if he is stupid. So his next destination is our Jiangdong. Liu Bei has arrived in our Jiangdong, how are we going to arrange him. If you don't arrange him, the whole world will say that I, Jiangdong, will abandon it when I see that others have no use value, and my reputation will stink. If he is arranged, Koto's burden will also be heavy. We now have to confront Liu Yu, the most powerful in the world, and every penny of food is very precious. And Liu Bei is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is hard to guarantee that it will create some contradictions for Jiangdong. When the time comes, the gains will outweigh the losses. Zhou Yu said worriedly.

"No, it won't." Sun Ce blurted out that he didn't believe it would be like this.

Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, you have also heard of Liu Bei before. Liu Bei took refuge in Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was finally defeated. Going to Xuzhou, Tao Qian didn't take long to hang up. took refuge in Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was almost beaten to death by Liu Yu. Then I went to Jingzhou again, and you see that Liu Jingsheng died again. Wherever you go, there will be trouble. ”

"Huh? So troublesome! How does it sound, Liu Bei looks like a plague god. Sun Ce said in surprise.

"Isn't it!" Zhou Yu said.

At this time, Gan Ning, who was in charge of inspecting the river defense, came in and said, "The last general will meet the lord and the governor. ”

After Gan Ning returned from defeat, he was supposed to be punished. But it is easy to get a thousand troops and it is difficult to find a general, and Sun Ce can use all the talents he has now, so he reluctantly absolved Gan Ning of his sins, and re-asked Gan Ning to lead the troops and be responsible for patrolling the defense of the riverside.

"Xingba, what's the matter with you?" Sun Ce Q&A.

"The last general inspected the river defense just now and found that Liu Bei's subordinate Wei Yan's naval army had gone and returned. The last general greeted him, and the boat said that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were coming to meet the lord. The last general is here to report. Gan Ning said.

"Liu Bei is really here!" Sun Ce was really surprised, he didn't want Liu Bei to come, but Liu Bei just arrived.

Gan Ning asked suspiciously: "Lord, do you want the last general to reject Liu Bei." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Xingba, you can bring Liu Xuande and others here." ”

"Yes, Governor." Gan Ning took the order and left.

"Gong Jin, this Liu Bei is no good when he arrives in Jiangdong." When Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu let Liu Bei in, he was a little anxious all of a sudden. Later, Liu Bei cried to him, whether Sun Ce would help or not. Sun Ce heard that Liu Bei was crying and wanted to die.

"Brethren don't be impatient. I have my own way. Zhou Yu had already thought of how to arrange Liu Bei.

Gan Ning brought the news that Sun Ce was willing to see Liu Bei, and Liu Bei's heart that had been hanging was finally put down.

"Strategist, you can go with Uncle Benhuang." Liu Bei asked Xu Shu to go with him, Xu Shu has a strong mouth, and he will be the main force when he discusses with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

"Yes, my lord!" Xu Shu said.

As for Wei Yan, he also had to organize a navy to avoid some unpleasant things with the Jiangdong navy.

As soon as Liu Bei and Xu Shu came over, Liu Bei said to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu: "Liu Beixie's military advisor Xu Shu has seen General Sun and Governor Zhou. ”

"Uncle Huang, I am busy with affairs, I don't know that Uncle Huang is coming, I miss the welcome, and I ask Uncle Huang not to be surprised. Come on, quickly prepare a seat for Uncle Huang and Xu Junshi, and serve tea! "When you come to the door, you are a guest, Sun Ce's tutor is good, and he naturally understands the etiquette of the first pass.

Sun Ce's subordinates immediately arranged seats for Liu Bei and Xu Shu, and Liu Bei and Xu Shu also sat down, ready to discuss with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu later.

After taking a sip of tea, Sun Ce began to pretend to be stupid and said: "Uncle Huang is not enjoying happiness in Jiangxia, I don't know why I came to Jiangdong." ”

Liu Bei put down the teacup in his hand, with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "Liu Bei is unlucky, Jiangxia has been taken away by Liu Yu. Liu Bei now has nowhere to go, so he has come to seek refuge from General Sun. ”

In fact, at the beginning, Liu Bei wanted to save his face, and was ready to tactfully express his situation, so that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would spontaneously help Liu Bei. But this idea was opposed by Xu Shu. Xu Shu thinks that Sun Ce is a man of temperament, and Zhou Yu is a wise man, and they must know about the current situation of Jiangxia being captured by Liu Yu, if they pretend to save face, it is very likely that they will feel that Liu Bei is hypocritical, which will affect the next cooperation and the asylum requested by Liu Bei.

So much so that Xu Shu suggested that Liu Bei be honest about his situation at the beginning, so that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could see Liu Bei's sincerity.

It's a pity that Sun Ce didn't want Liu Bei to come to Jiangdong at all, so he still pretended to be stupid and said, "Uncle Huang, what do you mean by this?" Ben didn't understand. ”

Xu Shu said: "General Sun doesn't know anything. The brutal Liu Yu was preparing to start a war with Jiangdong with great fanfare before, and for the sake of the union of you and me, I immediately asked General Wenchang to lead the elite naval army to help. But who would have thought that this Liu Yu was despicable and shameless, and actually adopted the strategy of attacking the east and the west, on the surface he wanted to start a war with General Sun, but in fact, he went to the army and raided Jiangxia. Our main forces were scattered, unable to resist Liu Yu, and almost all the troops were annihilated, so we could only come to Jiangdong to seek refuge from the general. ”

Xu Shu means that my lord has made a lot of efforts for the safety of your Jiangdong, and he also divided his troops to help you, and it is because of this that Liu Yu seized the opportunity to lead to the defeat of the army.

Sun Ce was a little speechless, this Xu Shu said it so directly, which made him a little unsure of how to respond.

Zhou Yu took over the conversation and said, "What Xu Junshi said is very true. Liu Yu is really the most treacherous person in the world. Uncle Huang was also unlucky when he was calculated. Originally, Uncle Huang has contributed a lot to the people of Jiangdong, and I Jiangdong is not a person who does not repay him. But Uncle Huang, you know, it's not easy for me in Jiangdong now. Liu Yu's million-strong army is on the other side, and Jiangdong can be killed anytime and anywhere, and I, Jiangdong, have done my best to defend. When the emperor comes, my lord really can't give him money, food, and place to live for the emperor. It's not that he's desperate, it's really Jiangdong who is very nervous. Please be considerate of Uncle Huang. ”

"This is the day that I am going to die, Liu Bei!" Liu Bei's tears flowed, making others feel extremely desolate.

The first time Sun Ce saw a person's tears, he could shed so many tears at once, which was an eye-opener.

The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth twitched, this Liu Bei's ability to cry and cry is not covered, and it is really amazing that he came so soon.

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "My lord also knows the situation in Jiangdong. Liu Yu's army pressed the border, and after thinking about it, I decided that I couldn't let the people of Jiangdong suffer misery. General Sun, my lord is willing to help General Sun resist Liu Yu together. made Liu Yu unable to move forward for half a point. ”

Having said that, if Sun Ce refuses Liu Bei, I am afraid it will cause some unpleasantness. Liu Yunai is the biggest enemy, Sun Ce urgently needs to concentrate all kinds of forces to fight him, Liu Bei automatically expressed his willingness to help Sun Ce, which is the greatest good thing for Sun Ce in the eyes of others.

Zhou Yu said: "Uncle Huang is a little restless. The situation of the emperor's uncle has been understood by the lord and the lord. Uncle Huang is benevolent and righteous, and my lord deeply admires it. It's just that the affairs of Jiangdong were originally the affairs of my Jiangdong soldiers. Since Uncle Huang took the initiative to ask, I mainly refused people thousands of miles away and laughed for the world. After careful consideration, Uncle Huang might as well go to the public security town to guard the line. ”

"Public security? What is this place? "Liu Bei didn't know that there was a place called public security.

"Uncle Huang, this public security is a good place. There are mountains and rivers there, and the fresh river produced is exported to Jingyang. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is a place where soldiers must fight, and non-real heroes cannot defend it. My lord handed over this place to the imperial uncle to guard, and he really attaches great importance to the imperial uncle. Zhou Yu said nonsense.

"That's right. Uncle Huang's heroic figures, only the public security can accommodate people like Uncle Huang. Ben will be a painstaking man. Sun Ce echoed beside him.

As soon as Liu Bei saw Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's expressions, he knew that this public security was not a good place, so he wanted to refuse. It's just that Xu Shu came out and said: "General Sun and Governor Zhou have this arrangement, which is really clever. Of course, my lord helped General Sun. ”

Liu Bei didn't expect Xu Shu to agree for him so quickly, and he wanted to express his opinion on the spot. But Xu Shu gave him a slightly calm look, and Liu Bei seemed to understand something, so he adopted a strategy of not moving.

"Okay, Uncle Huang is really happy! Then ask Uncle Huang to go quickly. Sun Ce hurried away, he didn't want to look at Liu Bei who was about to cry. You say that a big man has tears in his eyes at every turn, how disgusting it is to watch.

"General Sun, my lord guards the public security, but this grain and grass weapon is really a big problem." Before the soldiers and horses moved the grain and grass, Xu Shu did not bring up the biggest problem of logistics supply, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu might be pretending to be stupid.

Zhou Yu secretly sighed that Xu Shu was still quite clever, and he found out the problem so quickly, originally Zhou Yu did not plan to supply Liu Bei's troops with food, grass and weapons, but now that Xu Shu has spoken, Zhou Yu has to express it.

"Master Xu, don't worry. In this regard, when your army arrives at the public security, it can collect local taxes for its own use. If there is still any shortcoming, Uncle Huang can repair a book, and my lord will do his best to help. Zhou Yu didn't say yes, and set up countless routines in his words.

"Thank you! The situation is urgent, so I'll set off first. Farewell. Xu Shu can naturally know the routine in Zhou Yu's words, but now that he has a request for others, it is not bad to be able to win this point.

Liu Bei also felt that it was already very good to be able to collect local taxes for his own use. Liu Bei thought that the public security should be a very important place, and the taxes there must be very high.

Full of hope, Liu Bei took Xu Shu back to Wei Yan's troops, and under the guidance of the map provided by the Jiangdong Army, they marched towards Gong'an.

After Liu Bei left, Sun Ce said a little worriedly: "Gongjin, isn't it a bit perfunctory for you to let Liu Bei go to the public security." It's a poor place. ”

"Bo Fu, you can rest easy. Public security is indeed geographically important. Liu Bei got there, even if he knew, he couldn't get mad. Anyway, he took the initiative to propose it, and if he wants to change to another place, we won't agree to it, right? ”

Sun Ce smiled and nodded, as for the supply of grain and grass, Sun Ce knew without asking. Liu Bei asked for food and grass, Sun Ce said that he was very nervous now, and asked Liu Bei to wait for the time being, Liu Bei could only honestly sell his life in the end, and he couldn't make trouble for Jiangdong.

When Liu Bei arrived at the public security, he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.

It is an indisputable fact that public security is a battleground for soldiers. But it's so remote that the population isn't much, most of them live by fishing, and they're so poor that they barely have a pair of pants left. If he relied on the taxes of this place to feed his troops, Liu Bei felt that it would be better for him to simply disband the troops.

It's just that Zhou Yu said so many things about the public security, and there is one sentence that is true, that is, the river fresh here is really rich. But you can't let Liu Bei's troops go fishing every day for a living.

"Damn, Sun Ce, this kid is really good enough to pick the door!" When Wei Yan came to the public security, he also had an expression that I was also drunk.

Liu Bei has been holding back his anger.

"Lord, Sun Bofu is quite generous. If we can gain a foothold, we will also be on it. Xu Shu said lightly.

Generous? This kind of broken place is even worse than Shinno. Liu Bei wanted to scold his mother.

In order to ensure Liu Bei's confidence, Xu Shu said: "Lord, this public security is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the lord's troops are stationed here, and it is not easy for anyone who wants to come to attack the lord." The most important point is that this place is adjacent to Jingnan. If Liu Yu is defeated, the lord can capture Jingnan as quickly as possible. There's a lot of benefit to that. My lord, in this way, we can take the lead. ”

Liu Bei really didn't think of this, he immediately came to the map and looked at it, and finally said with a smile: "It's still the military advisor who is thoughtful." That's it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, let's enter the public security now. ”
