Zhang Liao's reputation is ringing. If it were to be someone else's fame, I am afraid that he would report his exploits to Liu Yu as soon as possible.

However, Zhang Liao is a real person, he knows that it is his own credit, and the court and His Majesty will never treat him badly, but the most important thing at present is to hold Lujiang City and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Although Liu Jun of Lujiang City was killed or wounded this time, under the great victory, the morale of the soldiers was high, and they were ready to defend Lujiang City with one heart. Because of this victory, they found that Jiangdong's troops seemed to be outnumbered, but their combat effectiveness was not good.

At the same time, the people of Lujiang City were also affected. The people are very peaceful, and it doesn't matter who is the ruler of Lujiang City. But the people want their ruler to be a benevolent and tough being. And now Lujiang City is under the rule of the benevolent and tough Emperor Shenwu, coupled with the great victory that has just been spread, the people know how to choose. The people also admire the strong, and with the protection of the strong, they can live a more stable life, and there is nothing else to ask for.

Liu Jun led by Zhang Liao is such a strong man, and it is worth following the people of Lujiang. They were also willing to help Zhang Liao defend the Lujiang River. To tell the truth, the people of Lujiang City did not have much loyalty to Sun Ce. Sun Ce besieged Lujiang for two years, and the people of Lujiang City suffered heavy losses. The survivors of that year hated Sun Ce even more. These survivors still remember the tragic experience of that year, and they are naturally not interested in the Jiangdong troops under Sun Ce, and they wish that Zhang Liao could defeat the Jiangdong army, and it is best to kill Sun Ce. In this way, Lujiangcheng's help to Zhang Liao became great.

Such a result made Zhang Liao and others overjoyed. Spreading the news of his defeat to the Jiangdong Army, Zhang Liao's purpose was nothing more than to let the people of Lujiang City be able to do their part, let them know the strength of Liu Jun, and let the people not have more dissent when defending the city. didn't expect that many people would automatically come out to help, Zhang Liao was of course happy and worried. Happily, the defense of Lujiang City, with the support of the people, will be even better. What is worrying is that among these people, I don't know if there will be people with ill intentions. If there were ill-intentioned people who added some chaos to Liu Jun when defending the city, Zhang Liao would be miserable.

But you can't refuse the people's help. Liu Jun's troops were originally not many, and it was a good thing to have more strength.

When Zhang Liao was very embarrassed, Mi Fang gave Zhang Liao an idea.

It is a good thing for the people to help, but it is not the business of the people to fight, it is the business of those of them who serve in the army. It is definitely a good thing that the people have this heart. But the king can't let the innocent people take risks, and if he hurts any of them, His Majesty of Benevolence will strip them of their skins. So Mi Fang's idea is that the people can fight by Liu Jun's side, and they can help deliver food and defensive materials. Of course, not everyone can help, only some young people. In this way, the number of people who can climb the city walls is limited, and the occurrence of danger is minimized. It will not dampen the enthusiasm of the people, the best of both worlds. Of course, Mi Fang hopes that Zhang Liao can personally express his gratitude to the people, and it is best to cry bitterly, so that the people can be grateful.

Mi Fang has followed Liu Bei for many years, often watched Liu Bei's performances, and learned something from Liu Bei, so she naturally knows how to touch the delicate hearts of the people.

Zhang Liao may be really tired, such a simple way, he didn't expect to give Mi Fang a chance to show his face. However, if this problem can be solved quickly, Zhang Liao will still give Mi Fang credit.

Mi Fang said that Zhang Liao should thank the people, and he naturally would not shirk this superficial effort. For crying bitterly, Zhang Liao is not Liu Bei, and he can't do such a thing.

On the other hand, Tai Shici's report was delivered to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu as quickly as possible.

When Sun Ce saw this report, he almost vomited blood in anger. A full 20,000 soldiers and horses were actually disgraced by Zhang Liao with hundreds of people, and he almost put Sun Quan in.

"20,000 soldiers and horses were defeated like this, and they were forced back to the place where they landed, and their morale was low!" Sun Ce couldn't control the anger in his heart, and shouted: "What does Ziyi do to eat, such things can happen!" What a disappointment for Ben! Disappointment! Disappointed! ”

In the past, Sun Ce attached great importance to Tai Shi Ci, and in his opinion, among the Jiangdong military generals, he could be called wise and brave in terms of strength, and he Sun Ce could be compared with him, that is, Tai Shi Ci. This time he sent troops to Lujiang and chose Tai Shici as the main general, Sun Ce's purpose was to use the best and most powerful force to recapture Lujiang and turn the situation around in one fell swoop. didn't expect that Tai Shici, who was trusted by Sun Ce the most, was actually defeated, and he was defeated in the mode of achieving the prestige of others.

How can this make Sun Ceqing embarrassed? How do you control the anger in your heart?

"Bo Fu, don't be angry." Zhou Yu was really worried that Sun Ce would lose his mind.

Sun Ce tried to calm his anger, but in the end, reason prevailed over anger. The most critical reason is that Sun Ce attaches great importance to Tai Shici.

"Gong Jin, tell me, what are you going to do now?" Sun Ce said in distress.

Zhou Yu looked at the battle report, pondered for a while, and said: "Judging from Ziyi's battle report, Zhang Liao's troops are indeed not many. Zhang Liao was a wise and brave general, and Ziyi was not wrong to adopt a cautious strategy at the beginning. However, in the end, he was too cautious, which led to Zhang Liao's calculation. For today's plan, now is to increase the help to Ziyi, and allocate 5,000 soldiers and horses overnight to supplement Ziyi, so that he can do his best to take Lujiang City tomorrow. ”

Sun Ce said with certainty: "Yes, if you don't take Lujiang City tomorrow, Zhuge Villager's reinforcements will reach Lujiang, and then Lujiang will not belong to the general." ”

"Don't forget, Bo Fu. Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were also heading towards the Lujiang River. It is estimated that nine times out of ten, Cao Jun will choose to watch from the wall, and finally come to a fisherman to profit. Zhou Yu reminded.

In this era, there are no absolute allies and no absolute enemies. There are instructions for absolute interests. At present, Liu Yu's family is dominant, and he steadily suppresses all the princes. Cao Cao and Sun Ce also united for this reason to resist Liu Yu together. But Lujiang City is very important to Jiangdong, and it is just as important to Cao Cao.

Yuzhou is short of food. Cao Cao is now living a tight life, even if it is a penny, Cao Cao wants to cut it in half to use it. Lujiang is fertile for thousands of miles, it is one of the big granaries in Jiangdong, and the amount of grain and grass produced every year is huge, and it would be strange if Cao Cao was not tempted.

If Cao Cao occupied the Lujiang River, then Yuzhou and Jiangdong would only be bounded by the Yangtze River, which greatly strengthened Cao Cao's strategic depth.

When Jiangdong and Liu Jun die to the end, they will definitely lose both, and at that time, Cao Jun will come out, wouldn't it be easy to take down the fat of Lujiang. At that time, Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou must be happy to see Cao Cao and Sun Ce fighting, and he will definitely try his best to provoke Cao Sun's contradictions. When the time comes, will Sun Ce return to Lujiang, or give up Lujiang?

Faced with this huge possibility, Zhou Yu had to remind Sun Ce.

"Cao Cao is treacherous, I have to guard against it. But how can we prevent Cao Cao's ambitions? Our troops have to defend against Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou. Unless Ziyi has the forces that absolutely crush Cao Cao, otherwise he really can't stop Cao Cao from being tempted by Lujiang. Sun Ce told the truth, the current Jiangdong is really asking Cao Cao.

Why are you asking Cao Cao? If Cao Cao suddenly made a move against Jiangdong, then only Liu Yu would benefit. Sun Ce wasn't sure if Cao Cao would throw himself into Liu Yu, after all, Cao Cao and Liu Yu had a deep friendship, and Liu Yu seemed to have reservations about Cao Cao, and even hoped that Cao Cao could join the Shenwu Imperial Court. If Cao Cao had any of the wrong tendons and secretly pledged his allegiance to Liu Yu in exchange for the glory and wealth of the Cao family, then Sun Ce would be sad.

Therefore, Sun Ce could only secretly and silently pray that Cao Cao would not be confused by Liu Yu's obscenity and continue to fight with Liu Yu.

Zhou Yu thought of an idea and said, "Bo Fu, it's better to be like this." Cao Cao's biggest problem now is grain and grass, and the reason why he has ambitions for Lujiang is that the biggest factor is Lujiang's sufficient treasury. We can send someone to inform Cao Cao that as long as Cao Cao and we join forces to recapture Lujiang City, then we will give him all the money and grain in the treasury of Lujiang City. ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he didn't object at all. The grain and grass in Lujiang are now in Zhang Liao's hands, and in the end, whether the money and grain in the treasury can be taken back intact, Sun Ce has no hope.

"Just listen to you. Isn't it just some money? I'm rich in Koto, so there's no problem. When Sun Ce said this, his heart was constantly dripping blood.

Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce was the best, and he could afford to put it down. As long as Cao Cao is given such a promise, Cao Cao will not have any crooked thoughts. The conspiracy to seize Lujiang City is nothing more than for money and food, so now that the money and food are directly given to him, he will not risk turning his face with Sun Ce.

So, Sun Ce immediately gave the order, and the five thousand soldiers and horses of Chaisang City immediately set off, and dared to go to Tai Shi Ci overnight to join him. In addition, an urgent envoy was sent to Cao Cao to express that after joining forces to recapture Lujiang, the money and grain of Lujiang City would be given to Cao Cao.

Five thousand soldiers and horses set off quickly, went straight down the river, and soon joined Tai Shici.

Tai Shi Ci had been waiting for Sun Ce's order, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to give him another 5,000 soldiers and horses, and at the same time gave him a death order. Sun Ce asked Tai Shi Ci to take Lujiang City tomorrow, no matter what the cost.

Tai Shici was very moved, Sun Ce's order did not punish him in any way, but there was a strong trust. Sun Ce also mentioned that he had sent someone to contact Cao Cao, and the matter of distributing money and grain with Cao Cao Lujiangcheng was not hidden from Tai Shici.

Tai Shi Ci decided to take Lujiang City tomorrow even if he sacrificed himself. Because Tai Shici felt ashamed, the city of Jiangdong actually had to rely on outsiders to help, and it had to pay a lot of money to be able to let outsiders send troops, what a shame it was.

Tai Shi Ci swore that he would be ashamed.

Cao Cao's office in Yuzhou, of course, also received Sun Ce's heart.

Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce differently. As Zhou Yu and Sun Ce thought, Cao Cao secretly ordered the troops he went to support, adopt the strategy of Huang Que behind, and be the last fisherman. From this letter sent by Sun Ce, Cao Cao knew that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu saw his arrangement.

"Young people nowadays are really powerful. Lonely's little arrangement has been seen through. The afterlife is terrifying. Cao Cao's heart was full of emotion.

Cao Cao admired Sun Ce very much, and secretly said that if he had such a son, even if he died, it would be worth it. Sun Ce alone was able to swallow Jiangdong with the little force that Sun Jian left him, and Cao Cao thought that it would be difficult even if he wanted to do it himself.

Sighing and sighing, Cao Cao still took Sun Ce's suggestion seriously.

Money and food are now what Cao Cao needs most, otherwise Cao Cao would not have risked breaking with Sun Ce and seeking Lujiang City.

Now that he can get what he wants, why should Cao Cao take risks. Besides, a bad one may be cheaper than Liu Yu who eats, drinks and has fun in Luoyang.

For Liu Yu, Cao Cao was really speechless. The princes of the world are eating chaff and vegetables, and he Liu Yu is eating and drinking spicy food in Luoyang, and he also held a large-scale wedding for his general Zhao Yun.

In order to unite Sun Ce to resist Liu Yu, and even more so to disgust Liu Yu, Cao Cao decided to abandon his conspiracy and chose to join forces with Sun Ce.

Why can Liu Yu be easy, and he Cao Cao will suffer by himself. Similarly, Cao Cao also sent someone to Luoyang secretly, preparing to add some chaos to Liu Yu, so that Liu Yu would have nothing to do with Cao Cao's jokes every day.

For supporting Sun Ce, this time, Cao Cao increased his investment and let Xiahou Yuan lead the elite of Cao's army to join it. The hands of people are short, Sun Ce is so refreshing, and Cao Cao can't be stingy. If you take someone else's things, you always have to pay some. In addition, Cao Cao sent more people and horses, and it was more secure to accept money and food. By the way, you can also show Jiangdong his strength, lest Jiangdong Sun Ce not be trustworthy.

Cao Cao is well-intentioned and kind.

Cao Cao's increased investment in troops was the best news for Jiangdong.

And for Zhang Liao in Lujiang City, it is a very huge problem. Zhang Liao has always sent people to keep an eye on the situation in Yuzhou. Who would have thought that Cao Cao would invest so much to help Sun Ce, which made Zhang Liao confident in his heart whether he could hold Lujiang and wait for reinforcements to come.

What Zhang Liao wants most now is to see the arrival of reinforcements.
