"Gong Jin, let's go back to Jiangdong now!" Sun Ce hurriedly said to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was silent, he thought that it was not just as simple as returning to Jiangdong. Jiangdong is like this, it must have been done by someone from Liu Yu's side, the purpose is to force Sun Ce to return to Jiangdong, so that Liu Yu will succeed.

"Bo Fu, if we go back to Jiangdong, it is very likely that this Guangling County will be unacceptable. If there is such a big chaos in Jiangdong, then there must be enough troops to pacify it. With our current strength in Jiangdong, if we don't transfer all the troops here in Xuzhou back, it may take a long time to pacify. There are many dreams at night, and Liu Yu's side will not let us calm down the inside with peace of mind. Zhou Yu thought for a while and said.

Sun Ce closed his eyes, he had to make a decision now.

Sun Ce worked hard to calm his mood, Jiangdong is his base, if there is no Jiangdong, then it is impossible for Sun Ce to compete for hegemony before the current general trend of the world.

"Guangling can be recaptured if it is lost, if Jiangdong is gone, then we will lose our foundation." Sun Ce said something like this simply.

Zhou Yu understood, Sun Ce's soldiers were almost Jiangdong people, if Sun Ce was not the lord of Jiangdong, I am afraid that the loyalty of the soldiers would be difficult to say. Although Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and other wise men are Xu Huai people and have great feelings for Guangling County, giving up Guangling County will definitely discourage Zhang Zhao and their enthusiasm. From the perspective of the master, what should be given up is still what should be abandoned.

Zhou Yu said: "You are the lord, I support any decision you make!" ”

Zhou Yu supported Sun Ce, and Sun Ce immediately summoned all the soldiers in Guangling County and told them all about the situation in Jiangdong.

Koto is in danger! Tai Shici, Zhou Tai and other generals were immediately indignant, and one by one hoped that Sun Ce would return to Jiangdong and quell the rebellion. Sun Ce saw the surging emotions of the crowd and knew how correct the decision he had just made was.

"In this case, General Chuanben ordered all the soldiers of Guangling County to return to Jiangdong and take away all the money, grain and equipment from the treasury!" Sun Ce ordered directly.

Tai Shi Ci was taken aback, Sun Ce is going to give up Guangling County, after Guangling County was occupied by Sun Ce, it has always been led by Tai Shi Ci, it can be said that Guangling County can now be independent of Xuzhou, and Tai Shi Ci has a huge credit in it.

Now that Sun Ce is about to give up Guangling County, Tai Shici can't accept it a little bit, and asks: "Lord, this Guangling County has taken a lot of effort for us to take it, so it's a pity to give it up like this." ”

Tai Shi Ci didn't dare to refute Sun Ce's opinion, and Sun Ce could also understand Tai Shi Ci's feelings, after all, no one could accept that he had spent so much effort and gave up. Tai Shi Ci can't, and neither can Sun Ce. Jiangdong is simply Sun Ce's lifeline, abandoning Guangling and protecting Jiangdong, Sun Ce knows how to choose. But the relationship between Sun Ce and Tai Shici is extraordinary, and Sun Ce can't talk too much, so he stopped in an instant.

"Koto is the foundation!" Sun Ce couldn't speak, so Zhou Yu said it for him.

Tai Shici nodded, Jiangdong is indeed the foundation, without Jiangdong, it is useless to keep Guangling County.

Sun Ce even said: "We will temporarily give up Guangling this time, and we will still counterattack back in the future!" ”

Sun Ce said this, obviously taking care of the mood of his subordinates, Tai Shici and the others couldn't have an opinion on their lord, and shouted one by one: "The lord is mighty!" ”

As a result, the Jiangdong Army of Guangling County began to assemble, and then took away all the money, food, armor, weapons and other important materials in the treasury of Guangling County. Sun Ce will not be as ruthless as Cao Cao, the people here in Guangling County have not been violated by the Jiangdong Army, the Jiangdong Army just moved the things from the treasury, and it has nothing to do with the people. After all, Sun Ce wanted to fight back, if he did everything, it would be impossible to return to Xuzhou in the future. Looking at Cao Cao's treatment in Yanzhou, you can see how correct Sun Ce's idea is.

Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong with countless large ships, and he wanted to quickly quell the civil strife in Jiangdong with the power of thunder.

Sun Ce looked back at Guangling County and said softly: "Xuzhou, my Sun Bofu will definitely come back!" ”

A gust of wind blew, Sun Ce felt a little cold, the previous poison was not completely complete, Sun Ce immediately returned to the cabin, trying to recover his health in the shortest time.

When the Jiangdong Army of Guangling County made a move, the "shadow" spies who were in charge of monitoring Guangling fed back the situation to Jia Xu. Jia Xu told them to continue to monitor and not do anything.

After the Jiangdong army left, Jia Xu informed Guo Tu, Gao Lan, Feng Ji and others of the news.

When Guo Tu heard that Jiangdongjun had run away, he immediately said, "My lord, you can't let Jiangdongjun leave so easily. I have already learned that there is a rebellion in Sun Ce's Jiangdong, and now Sun Ce is going back to quell the civil strife, so we must hold him back. ”

"Let them go back. The civil strife in Jiangdong was actually the work of the old man. The old man had long known that Sun Ce would leave, and the old man deliberately asked him to go back to Jiangdong. Jia Xu said something that shocked everyone.

Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Gao Ran and others were dumbfounded, this civil strife in Jiangdong was actually done by Jia Xu. Guo Tu remembered that at that time, Jia Xu said that he had a big dish for Sun Ce to taste, but he didn't expect it to be such a big thing.

Guo Tu finally understood how terrifying Jia Xu was in front of him, although he didn't know how Jia Xu did it, but Guo Tu asked himself if he couldn't do it with his own ability. It's just that Guo Tu can't understand that Sun Ce is now in civil strife, if he is allowed to go back, Jiangdong will soon be pacified, and he will definitely make a comeback in the future. Guo Tu expressed his inner doubts.

"You don't know. Sun Ce has a strong personality. And last time I was calculated by General Gao, it is impossible to recover in a short time. Now that there is civil strife in Jiangdong, letting Sun Ce go back is to make him bumpy and displaced, and he can't recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, so that Sun Ce will leave the root of the disease, and after a long time, it will affect Sun Ce. You should know that. Jia Xu explained.

Guo Tu and Feng Ji both understood, Sun Ce is an unborn brave general, as long as he is in Jiangdong for one day, Jiangdong will be unprecedentedly united, didn't see the rumors of Sun Ce's dying immediately made Jiangdong so chaotic. If Sun Ce doesn't die, Liu Yu will be very troublesome if he wants to pacify Jiangdong. This is also why Jia Xu tried his best to calculate Sun Ce before, just to eradicate Sun Ce, even if Sun Ce couldn't die, Jia Xu had to make him not make trouble for Liu Yu.

"High! It's really high! Guo Tu and Feng Ji both gave a thumbs up.

It's just that Gao Ran was depressed, he originally came to seek credit, but now it's okay, the Jiangdong Army has run away, and he hasn't earned any credit, this time it's for nothing.

Jia Xu saw the change in Gao Ran's face, and knew that Gao Ran was a little disappointed now, this was an opportunity to win over Gao Ran, so he said: "Everyone, Your Majesty ordered this official to guard Xuzhou, and now with your help, Xuzhou can be stabilized, and Guangling County will be taken back. Especially General Gao, if you hadn't dragged Sun Ce, this official and Xuzhou would not have been able to achieve such great results, and General Gao should be the first to take credit for the matter of Xuzhou. ”

Gao Ran didn't expect Jia Xu to speak to him like this, he was so moved in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Master Jia is too famous!" In fact, the last general didn't make much effort, so the first merit was waived. ”

Gao Ran himself is here to help, just make some credit, if you say the first credit, then I don't know what other people in Xuzhou will think.

Jia Xu is still very real, Gao Ran's role is huge, if Gao Ran didn't come to help, I'm afraid Jia Xu wouldn't be able to do so well.

"General Gao, you can't joke about your military exploits, our army has always been rigorous, what should be yours is yours." Jia Xu said with a serious face.

Gao Ran's face suddenly turned straight, that's right, Liu Yujun has always been fair, and it is difficult to get on the throne without military merits. For example, Huang Xu, the son of the great general Huang Zhong, has no military merits, so his current official position is still the garrison of Hanzhong.

"The last general understands!" Gao Ran understands that he has a credit this time.

Jia Xu immediately asked Guo Tu and Feng Ji to send troops and horses to receive Guangling County to stabilize the people's hearts as quickly as possible.

Guo Tu and Feng Ji are both veterans and know what to do.

After handing over the post-war affairs to Guo Tu and Feng Ji, Jia Xu began to compile the affairs of Xuzhou into a war report and sent it to Liu Yu.

The people of Guangling County wish that the Jiangdong Army would hurry up and be bastards, and the people have had a bad time under the rule of Jiangdong all these years. In fact, Sun Ce's rule in Xuzhou was quite benevolent, and there was not much oppression on the people. If there was no comparison of Liu Yu's benevolence and government, the people might not have any complaints about Sun Ce. Sun Ce did not exploit the people, but his subordinates were not like that. Many officials in Jiangdong have long been drooling at the rich Xuzhou, and Guangling County has fallen into the hands of Sun Ce, so it is strange that they can not have a good meal.

Sun Ce's subordinates exploited the people of Guangling County not by military generals and soldiers, but by those officials who were doing civilian duties. They didn't dare to let Sun Ce know what they were doing, everything was done in secret. Even the money and grain that Sun Ce decided to give to Guangling County from the treasury were privately swallowed by these civil officials.

is in response to that sentence: thousands of miles for officials are only for money.

Poor Sun Ce thought that he had a lot of popular support in Guangling County, thinking that he would be able to counterattack back in the future.

In comparison, Liu Yu's policy is a little stricter, but it is aimed at lawbreakers. It is good to be a good citizen or a good citizen under Liu Yu's rule. First of all, Liu Yu is very strict with officials, and if there is corruption and mediocrity, all of them will be dealt with strictly, and if it is serious, it will kill the head.

Liu Yu will think about the people in everything, but it doesn't mean that the people can mess around. There have been a few cases of Diao Min deliberately suing officials. After the government found out, they directly clicked all these people.

But in general, Liu Yu is good to the people. Taxes are not high, and there is no other messy system.

With the contrast, of course, the people are eager to return to Liu Yu's subordination. So much so that when Liu Jun took over Guangling County, the people spontaneously came out to greet him, which made Liu Jun's soldiers feel that they are the real kings.

Guo Tu and Feng Ji also began to arrange for competent civil officials to go to Guangling County, which is now more sensitive, and there must be a strong hand to stabilize the situation. And Feng Ji volunteered to go to Guangling County to be a guard. Of course, Jia Xu agreed, and sent this matter to Liu Yu.

And at this time, Jia Xu could finally free up his hands to deal with Cao Ren's troops outside Xiaopei City.

Sun Ce was actually quite moral, and he sent an envoy to inform Cao Cao of his withdrawal from Xuzhou.

Hearing this news, Cao Cao was depressed, why was Sun Ce the one who was expelled every time. This is true for the attack on Jingzhou, and it is still the same for the attack on Xuzhou. Cao Cao was a little suspicious that Sun Ce was doing this on purpose, and was specifically responsible for calculating him.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation in Jiangdong had already been known to everyone, Cao Cao would no longer want to unite with Sun Ce.

Cao Cao also pitied Sun Ce, he felt that Sun Ce was so unlucky, and every time he wanted to make achievements, he would fail. Cao Cao felt that Sun Ce might have used up his luck when he captured Jiangdong.

No matter how Cao Cao sighed, the current fact is that Cao Cao has to face Liu Yu's counterattack alone.

Cao Cao thought that this matter could not be borne by himself, and pondered how to deal with it.

But before Cao Cao could make a decision, Liu Yu began to make arrangements for Cao Cao's troops. Cao Cao got the news that in the direction of Xuzhou, an army of 20,000 led by Jia Xu and led by Gao Ran and Guo Tu marched towards Xiaopei. At the same time, Yanzhou Mu Zhaoyun also personally led 20,000 troops to kill Xiaopei.

Cao Ren's troops are in danger!

Cao Cao finally knew why Sun Ce had been defeated. Jia Xu Jia Wenhe's name, Cao Cao heard about it, but he didn't expect Liu Yu to arrange this character in Xuzhou, Sun Ce didn't know how powerful Jia Xu was, and he didn't know that Jia Xu was in Xuzhou, so he was calculated by Jia Xu. Sun Ce was wronged.

Sun Ce also knew who was calculating himself, it turned out to be the famous poisoner Jia Wenhe, and he was unlucky. Sun Ce also held a grudge against Jia Xu.

Cao Cao is even more embarrassed now, Cao Ren is still outside Xiaopei City, if he is met by Zhao Yun and Jia Xu, then Cao Ren's little strength will be finished.

Although he knew that Zhao Yun and Jia Xu forced him to withdraw from the army, Cao Cao had to choose this way. It is impossible to resist Liu Yu alone, let alone alone.

So, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan to return to Yuzhou and not to make unnecessary sacrifices.

At this point, Cao Cao and Sun Ce's attack on Liu Yu was dismantled.

Cao Cao knew that if he and Sun Ce did not restrain Liu Yu, Jingzhou would already be regarded as Liu Yu's. Cao Cao could only look up to the sky and sigh: The time is not in me!
