After Zhou Yu returned to Shouchun City, the first thing he did was to report his trip to Yuan Shu.

He reported to Yuan Shu in a proper manner some specific requirements for Lu Bu's coming to surrender and related matters related to his army.

Of course, what Zhou Yu reported to Yuan Shu was on some scenes, but it didn't involve some of his other thoughts about Lu Bu...... It's really not nutritious.

If it were someone else, it might not be suspicious.

But Yuan Shu, as a hero, the former overlord of the south, is by no means an idle person.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu defected to him, in a sense, they were using Yuan Shu, but why wasn't Yuan Shu using Sun Ce and Zhou Yu?

Since the defeat of the Whisker Dock, Yuan Shu learned from the pain, and after returning to Shouchun, he tried his courage in lying on his salary, re-replenished the soldiers and horses in Huainan, and handed over to Liu Xun for unified training.

After nearly three years, under Liu Xun's training, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses gradually became a strong army, and they were no longer the original recruit troops that only had quantity but no quality.

Yuan Shu was confident that if his side fought with the Jinling army again, Huainan's troops would definitely not be defeated as badly as they had at the beginning.

But even so, Yuan Shu didn't dare to march to the southeast easily, after all, the defeat last time cast a lot of shadows on his heart.

Especially behind him, there is also a Jingzhou Liu Biao who is eyeing him.

Yuan Shu is also quite patient sometimes, and he endured it for nearly three years.

He finally made it to this year, when things took a turn for the better.

Cao Cao, who lost the Son of Heaven, in order to expand his power, moved the main force of soldiers and horses south and penetrated deep into the territory of Yuzhou.

Cao Cao stationed troops in Xu County, and focused his troops on the western front, which invisibly posed a faint threat to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao was also not a mediocre hand, he was afraid that Nanyang would be lost, so he transferred the position of the heavy troops against Yuan Shu on the Eastern Front.

Liu Biao separated Zhangling County in Nanyang County and named it Zhangling County.

He placed the outpost of Nanyang in Zhangling County, and sent Huang Jie, the son of his confidant Huang Zu, to be the Taishou of Zhangling, and asked Wen Ping, the general of Jingzhou, to set up a formation in the rear of Xinye to gather horses and support Huang Jie, and set up several barriers in front of Xiangyang's formation, forming a resistance to the north.

Liu Biao's big move made Yuan Shu's pressure on the Western Front suddenly weaken.

Of course, Cao Cao's entry into Yuzhou also had a huge impact on Yuan Shu.

Cao Ren, Li Dian, Yu Ban, and Yan Xing were ordered to attack Runan County, and Sun Ben, who was guarding in Runan, had no intention of confronting Cao Cao at all.

After Yuan Shu heard about this, he was angry and had a toothache.

Sun Ce, this kid...... It's really not authentic!

Let you pick up Sun Ben, do you really just answer it?

Don't even bother to do what it means to type? Don't you give me the surname Yuan face, right? Am I also your elder, okay?

The problem is that after Sun Ce returned to Yuan Shu's command, he presented the jade seal left to him by his father, and Yuan Shu was obsessed for a while, and he had no intention of embankment Sun Ce, so he agreed to his request to re-supervise Sun Ben's old army.

Now Sun Ce is in charge of Sun Jian's old department, although he is attached to Yuan Shu, but in fact he has his own generals and the right to speak, which makes Yuan Shu very unhappy, but he has to temporarily follow him.

Yuan Shu originally wanted to send troops to recapture Runan County, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, not to mention that Cao Cao's power was not better than at the beginning, it was good to let him confront Liu Biao in Xu County and relieve his pressure on the Western Front.

In case the spark of the surnamed Cao and the surnamed Liu is not wiped well, and the real fire is hit, and both lose, then won't he enjoy the benefits of the fisherman?

Yuan Shu finally made up his mind, and let the two of them confront each other to contain it, and he still shifted the target to Jiangdong!

After taking Jiangnan, it is not too late to settle this account with Cao Cao.

However, although the army under his command was trained and matured by Liu Xun, after all, they were all foot soldiers, and they were still not ten percent sure of fighting against the Jinling soldiers of the pottery merchants.

If you want to deal with the Jinling Army, you still have to have Sun Ce's assistance.

Now that Lu Bu is coming to vote again, Yuan Shu's confidence has increased even more.

But although Lu Bu is brave, he is also the same as the Sun family, he has formed an army of his own, and the state army is all unruly, although he is brave and good at fighting, it is also extremely difficult to manage, I am afraid that no one can control them except Lu Bu.

And we must not allow Lu Bu and the Sun family to have too many intersections and contacts.

This time, asking Zhou Yu to be a pacification envoy for Lu Bu was Yuan Shu's temporary misinvestigation, and he made up his mind that he would never let such a thing happen again next time.

The question is that Lu Bu himself is also a tiger and wolf, how can he be tied to his chariot without causing him to rebel?

After thinking about it, Yuan Shu suddenly had an idea!

His son has just been crowned and is still married, and I heard that Lu Bu has a beloved daughter under his knees, which is quite colorful......

Why don't you become a family with Lu Bu and form a good alliance with Qin and Jin, so that it will be easy to control this tiger and wolf gangster!

The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more it was like this, and he felt that he was really a genius.

……

After Zhou Yu finished reporting to Yuan Shu, he went to the camp west of Shouchun City to meet Sun Ce.

After listening to Zhou Yu's narration, Sun Ce was very puzzled and said, "Gong Jin, what is your intention to intersect with Lu Bu like this?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Although Yuan Shu has some skills, he holds the respect of the fourth world and the three princes, and he has always been above the top, even if the elder brother does his best to work for him, there may not be any good end in the future, rather than this, it is better not to try to find his own way." ”

Sun Ce nodded and sighed: "What you said is true, but I just think about it day and night for my brother, and I don't know how to deal with this matter." ”

Zhou Yu began to point at him and said, "Bo Fu, now is a good opportunity!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Yuan Shu has already sent troops to Yangzhou, and then the heart of the pottery merchants, and now Lu Bu has to return to Shun, the day of the army is just a matter of day and night, we take this opportunity to go to Jiangdong with Yuan Shu, and take advantage of it, and find a way to lay a foundation of their own! How is it? ”

Sun Ce was overjoyed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he still sighed: "Although Gongjin's words are good, I am afraid that this matter is not so easy, not to mention that Yuan Shu has 100,000 armor, the pottery merchants in Xuzhou have also flourished in recent years, and the strength of the Jinling army is also resounding all over the world...... How can we compete with him? ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "So, we also need Lu Bu's help, Lu Bu is a person, the foolish brother has seen it, and he is by no means a subordinate person, we may be able to join forces with him." ”

Sun Ce let out a long sigh when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I have never had anything to do with Lu Bu, how can I tell him to help me?" Besides, if he is willing to help me, how can he be trusted? ”

A strange and inexplicable smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face.

"I heard that under Lu Bu's knees, there is a beloved daughter, and Bo Fu you have not yet married, so it is better to ......"

"What!" Sun Ce was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Do you want me to marry Lu Bu's daughter?" Gong Jin, this is not good, aren't you making a beauty trick again! ”

Zhou Yu's smile was a little stiff.

Beauty tricks?

When he was young, Zhou Yu came back to his senses and said: "Bo Fu, you need to know that Lu Bu has tens of thousands of strong troops under his command, and there are even wolf riders in Bingzhou, and the foolish brother today looks at Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng and others under his command, all of whom are brave generals, Lu Bu's knees have no children, if the brother accepts his daughter, won't these elite generals be your arms in the future?" ”

"But, but ......" Sun Ce stammered, his face was a little reluctant: "But, Lu Bu is just a husband, how can his daughter be worthy of me?" ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart that with your father's style, it is not much different from that of a puppet...... Also picky!

"Brother, in the troubled times, we can't stick to one side, and our current situation should focus on expanding our strength."

Sun Ce glared at Zhou Yu dissatisfied, and said, "It's easy to say, and it's not confined to one ...... Then why don't you marry Lu Bu's daughter? ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of horror.

"That's not good, my Zhou family is a big clan in Lujiang, if I marry the daughter of a barbarian from Bingzhou, my father will have to beat me to death!"

When Sun Ce heard this, he felt uncomfortable.

What do you mean, this is bullying my father to death?

……

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

Since the wedding of the potter, Tao Qian's health has become worse and worse.

He always coughs every day, although he is not bedridden, but in life, he has indeed lost a certain amount of self-care ability, and even needs to be supported in the aisle.

Hua Tuo also came to see Tao Qian, but came to the same conclusion as Zhang Zhongjing, although Tao Qian can use medicine to prolong his life, but if he wants to recover, he is afraid that it will be even more difficult.

Seeing that Tao Qian's quality of life was so poor and that he could be precarious at any time, Tao Shang was very sad and sad in his heart.

Maybe...... It's time for me to listen to Diao Chan's words, and let the old immortal who led Wang Yun's cultivation help take a look at Tao Qian's situation.

Immortal magic or something may be fake, but maybe people really have some partial health care methods to prolong life?

But I heard that Yu Ji is now in Yuzhang County, so he needs to go south as soon as possible and dominate Jiangdong!

On this day, the two sons of the Tao family came to visit their frail old father again.

Tao Qian sat in the courtyard, on crutches, frowning and complaining while drinking the medicine Zhang Zhongjing gave him: "This is too bitter." ”

The potter comforted him and said: "Good medicine is good for disease, father don't be coquettish, drink it obediently, and drink it all to get rid of the disease." ”

Tao Qian whitened him with cloudy old eyes.

How do you feel that this kid doesn't seem to be coaxing his father, but like he is coaxing his grandson?

Did he take advantage of my husband's illness?

After drinking the medicine, Tao Qian sighed and sighed: "The old man who died bitterly is also ...... By the way, I heard that you plan to march into the south and subdue the counties of Yangzhou? ”

The potter nodded and said, "Exactly!" Wang Situ begged the immortal at the old immortal in Yuzhang County and asked, didn't my father intentionally want the old immortal to show you the number of lifespans? I just took this opportunity to invite him back together. ”

Tao Qian sighed, and his tone was quite gratifying: "Even if you are a little filial, the old man is not raising you for nothing...... The old man's body can't take care of it, this Xuzhou county, I will hand it over to you to take care of in the future, don't live up to the old man's expectations. ”

The potter bowed his hand: "Father, don't worry, the child will work hard." ”

Tao Qian's words changed, and he suddenly said: "Before you got married, how did the big things that the old man arranged for you go?" But are there any eyebrows? ”

The potter was a little stunned when he heard this.

It doesn't seem like that.

"What did my father do for me?"

Tao Qian coughed angrily and glared at him viciously.

"Stinky boy! A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, you're married! Where is your brother's mother-in-law? If the old man doesn't stare at you, I'm afraid you won't be able to get married for the rest of your life! You've got to find it for him! Forget! ”

The potter grinned when he heard this, and his expression was very helpless.

"Father, my honeymoon period hasn't passed yet, how can I have time to arrange this for my second brother......"

"Bastard!"

Although Tao Qian is weak, he is still very powerful in front of his son: "Just a few days after taking over the power, dare not listen to the old man?" You become your mother-in-law, sleep with your mother-in-law, and delay your brother's daughter-in-law? ”

"No, no delay!" The potter shook his head helplessly.

Since the old man was sick, he was in poor health, and he was always willful and coquettish, and he didn't talk about it at all.

Sure enough, it was karma, Tao Qian caught up with the humanity of his two sons when he was young, but now that he is older, the whole thing is reversed.

"When I go back, I will ask Mi Zhu to screen out the women in Pengcheng who have good backgrounds and good looks for the second brother and select them one by one." The potter assured Tao Qian.

When the words fell, Tao Ying, who had not squeaked beside him, suddenly spoke.

"Big brother, those ladies of the scholar clan in Pengcheng, I, I don't like it."

The potter frowned and looked at him suspiciously: "Then what do you like?" ”

Tao Ying's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of fascination, and after thinking for a while, he muttered:

"I like that kind of fierce thing!"

The potter looked at Tao Ying blankly, and he didn't understand the meaning of Tao Ying's words for a long time.

"Where, what kind of breast? You described it to Big Brother clearly. ”
