But this, do you say that Huo Jun is not good for defending the city, you must not say that. Everyone knows this, and everyone really does their best. At least if it's yourself and others, then in the end there is really no one to do. And now the city has been lost, but now is not the time to say who it is, but to think about how to do it next, this is the right reason, and it is also the most important thing at present.

The one I thought about before, the inside and outside should cooperate to deal with the Yanzhou army, it will definitely not work, and now that the Yanzhou army has occupied the city, it is not as easy to deal with as before, and this is naturally impossible. Therefore, at this time, the two lords called themselves and others to discuss, which is indeed imperative, at least in this situation, it can only be like this. Since we can't do it like before, let's come up with another way.

After everyone heard Huo Jun finish talking about Linyuan, they were all silent, thinking about what they were going to do. If your lord tells you to say something, but you can't say it, it will be a shame.

Seeing that after Huo Jun finished speaking, there was silence in the big tent, Sun Ce and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and they both smiled helplessly.

It's true, it can be said that this is indeed different from what everyone thought before, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei both understand this. So both of them gave their subordinates some time to think about it.

After a while, Sun Ce spoke first. After all, he's the one who counts.

Just listen to him say at this time, "You all already know that Linyuan City has been lost. Looking at it now, at this time, Wuling should have fallen into the hands of Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army! ”

After listening to Sun Ce's words, many people nodded, and now this is indeed the case.

Then Sun Ce continued, "After I heard about this today, I asked our army to camp on the spot, just for. The first is to let everyone know about it, and then the second and most important thing is. Now we should come up with the next step to deal with it, after all, things have changed, so please speak freely! ”――

Listening to his lord's (Sun Ce) question, some of the people shook their heads. Someone doesn't know what to talk to themselves there. There are also people who are silent and expressionless, as if someone owes him much money, and everyone's expressions are different, as for what they think in their hearts, others don't know.

Seeing that he didn't take the initiative to speak, Sun Ce frowned, and then said, "Everyone, the situation is like this now. If we don't come up with a good countermeasure, it will indeed be detrimental to our army. Previously, Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army was still fighting under Linyuan City. At that time, our side had the advantage, but now the shape has changed, and the other side has the advantage, but the other side has the advantage, and our army is a little passive. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Ce paused, and then said again, "Since you don't want to take the initiative to speak, then let's name whoever you call, whoever you call, whoever you want, you can't say anything, then you go out!" ”

Although everyone knows that this is only a half-joke, but on this occasion, no one really dares to laugh at anything because of this-

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Ce glanced at the expressions of everyone in the tent, and it was the same as just now, it seemed that they all understood, it can be seen that everyone had already thought about it, and knew that they wanted to do this, they might just wait for their names. After all, it is impossible for everyone to speak, so it is necessary to choose a few people who have more ideas, some brains, some skills, and some strategies.

Sun Ce cleared his throat, "Wen Yuan, tell me about it, what should our army do next?" ”

The first Sun Ce was called Zhang Liao, which can't be said entirely because he doesn't worship Sun Ce as the main father, or Zhang Liao's ability, which occupies more reasons. After all, Sun Ce did know his ability, so he knew that with Zhang Liao's ability, he would definitely not be without ideas. So if he didn't call him, he would definitely not take the initiative to say anything. So you have to name him yourself, or do you wait for him to take the initiative? The Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, it is estimated that it is impossible.

Zhang Liao raised his head, and said in his heart that good things have never been done by himself, but this matter was the first to think of me. But what can he say, he can only bite the bullet and reply-

Zhang Liao said at this time, "General, now that the Yanzhou army has captured Linyuan, it is their advantage, but our army is not bad, at least our coalition army has no problem dealing with tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops." ”

Zhang Liao's meaning is very clear, that is, don't they occupy the city, what can they do if they occupy the city, they will attack it directly. After all, there are more than 100,000 horses in the coalition army on his side, and his Yanzhou army is only a few tens of thousands. Although it is true that your own combat power is not as good as others, there are many people, and this is the biggest advantage.

After listening to Zhang Liao's words, some people couldn't help nodding, obviously having the same idea as him. To be honest, in the eyes of some people, what can the Yanzhou army do if they occupy the city, they just need to attack. But it's true, compared with the previous situation when they besieged the city, they had an advantage at this time, and they missed such a good opportunity before.

People who think the same as Zhang Liao belong to the hardliners, and the so-called "soldiers come to block, and water comes to cover". Even if the combat strength of your own soldiers is inferior to others, it does not mean that your side will not win.

As soon as Sun Ce heard Zhang Liao's words, he said in his heart. There's nothing special about that either. Originally, he thought that Zhang Liao could say something different, but in the end he disappointed himself. In other words, he hoped to hear something from Zhang Liao's mouth that would make his eyes shine. But I don't know if he Zhang Wenyuan really thinks so, or if he really thinks but doesn't tell himself?

In Sun Ce's opinion, if it is the former, it is not bad, although he is disappointed, but Zhang Liao told the truth to himself, of course this is good. But if it's the latter. Then he, Zhang Wenyuan, is not right. I think I'm good to him, although I haven't recognized myself as the lord, but I haven't forced him Zhang Wenyuan to do anything. So if he doesn't tell himself the truth, then he really is, and it's not as simple as being disappointed.

Hopefully, it's the former, not the latter. Sun Ce thought in his heart. No one wants to be deceived. What's more, it is Sun Ce, who is the lord, and as a superior person, it is even more so. If you know which of your subordinates dares to deceive yourself, then the consequences of deceiving others are really, absolutely unimaginable.

This is actually really for Sun Ce to say, isn't that it, Zhang Liao is really perfunctory to Sun Ce. Just because Sun Ce was the first to ask him to speak. Zhang Liao thinks that good things don't have their own share, and they are all indispensable to themselves. So he simply didn't tell the truth. In Zhang Liao's opinion, Sun Ce can think about himself in this matter, and what truth does he have to say to him.

Sun Ce didn't think about Zhang Liao anymore at this time, anyway, it was true and false, false and true, it was useless to think about it too much. The most important thing for me now is the matter of the Wuling Yanzhou Army. What to do next, this is the most important thing, and it is the most important thing.

Ignoring Zhang Liao, Sun Ce said to everyone at this time, "Everyone, what do you think of Wenyuan's words?" ”

Someone echoed below, and that meaning Zhang Liao's words were exactly what they meant. However, some people shook their heads again, and some people also thought about whether Zhang Liao was perfunctory to his lord. If you want to talk about his Zhang Wenyuan's ability, he still knows more or less about these people, maybe he doesn't have any ideas, but this ...... -

At this time, Sun Ce raised his right hand upward, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, be quiet!" ”

Suddenly, the big tent was silent again. Sun Ce is indeed powerful, not only for his subordinates, but even for Liu Bei's subordinates. Although Wen Chou and the others are not Sun Ce's subordinates, they still dare not disobey Sun Ce's words.

Let's put it this way, if you just talk about martial arts, Wen Chou is not convinced by Sun Ce at all, and it is true that his martial arts are a little higher than Sun Ce, this is true. But when it comes to other aspects, Wen Chou has to say that he admires.

"Jiangdong Little Overlord", Sun Ce and Sun Bofu are indeed a character, and they are also, people who can be on a par with Cao Cao, Ma Chao and their own lords, of course, will not be simple people.

In Wen Chou's view, people are not as old as themselves, but what they do is not comparable to themselves. He is one of the powerful princes in the world, his power is not small, he sits in the land of Jiangdong and Jiaozhou, and he is a famous hero in the world.

Not to mention Wen Chou's more thoughts, let's just say that as soon as everyone heard Sun Ce's words at this time, they immediately quieted down, which really shows the strength of Sun Ce's person.

At this time, Sun Ce looked at Xu Sheng, and then said, "Wen Xiang, tell me, what should our army do next?" ”

When Xu Sheng heard this, his father-in-law called him, and it seemed that his father-in-law really valued himself very much. Of course, he is not like Zhang Liao's idea, what good things can't be his turn, and bad things always have his own. He has always thought that when his lord asks him to speak, he is valuing himself and his own meaning, otherwise it is impossible to do so.

So in this regard, Xu Sheng's heart was happy. This is not the first time this has been the case, and wasn't it the same last time for my own lord. And he actually knows in his heart that his lord really values himself. And now the meaning is also obvious, that is, to tell everyone, look, I value Xu Sheng and Xu Wenxiang, so let him speak-

Xu Sheng said at this time: "Lord, Xuande Gong, everyone. Now Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army occupies Linyuan, but we can't just think about how our army is, we also have to think about it. Cao Mengde Yanzhou Army, what will they think? ”

After listening to Xu Sheng's words, Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and his heart was right. We have to think about this too. What do Cao Cao and Yanzhou Jun think, but this matter cannot be ignored.

So Sun Ce asked: "I don't know what to think about Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army at this time?" ”

Xu Sheng smiled at this time, "The lord asked his subordinates like this, but the subordinates thought that they might still think, what do they think?" ”

Listen to what Xu Sheng said. Whether it's Sun Ce, it's Liu Bei. The crowd, including the big tent, can be said to have almost laughed. It's rare that everyone laughed at this time, and to be honest, this is a rare relief.

But think about it, you are thinking about what people think, and people will naturally think about how you think, so don't say it, Xu Sheng's words, aside from jokes, there is really some truth -

Sun Ce stopped everyone again, and heard him say, "Okay Wen Xiang, let's get down to business, what do you think, tell me quickly!" ”

"No! Lord, Xuande Gong, everyone, although Cao Mengde occupies Linyuan now, I don't know if you have thought about it or not, that is, there is no way for his people to retreat, and this is the most important thing for them! ”

After listening to Xu Sheng's words, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and said in his heart that Xu Sheng was talking about the most critical place, isn't that what is going on. After Xiangyang was lost, Cao Cao's retreat was gone, occupying Linyuan and even Wuling, for him, it could only be said that it was just a temporary relief of the current situation. But the facts are the facts, Xiangyang is gone, how did Cao Cao withdraw from the four wars of Jingzhou now, will he never return to Xudu?

Where is Wuling, Nanjun is to the north, Ba County of Yizhou is to the west, Changsha is to the east, and Lingling is to the southeast.

Cao Cao wanted to return to Nanyang County, and the most direct way was to go north to Nanjun and return from the original road. In the past, Xiangyang was fine when he was in his hands, as long as he bypassed Jiangling, then there would be no problem together. But now it can't be done, because Xiangyang has been lost-

Therefore, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army went north to Nanyang, which basically did not work. After all, the remaining men and horses he has now are only tens of thousands of people, and this is only one of them, and the other is what he has to face, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of horses and horses of his own Sun and Liu coalition army, the Liangzhou army of Ma Chao is also his fierce opponent, and neither of the two sides is weak.

And the most unfortunate thing is that if Cao Cao wants to take the Yanzhou army north and return to Nanyang, then if he goes from Nanjun, he must first bypass Jiangling, and after success, he will have to bypass Xiangyang in the end, and this road can be said to be not close. To tell the truth, Jiangling can be bypassed, but how to bypass Xiangyang, this is indeed not easy, at least if Liu Bei is heavily defended in Xiangyang, then it is impossible for Cao Cao's tens of thousands of horses not to be discovered. In fact, it is very likely that it was discovered in Gangneung, and this is not impossible.

Therefore, for Cao Cao and the Yanzhou army, the most important thing now is not to deal with their own coalition forces, let alone Ma Chao's Liangzhou army, but how to find a way out, which is the most important. As for Cao Cao's detour from elsewhere, this is even more impossible-

Yes, in addition to Nanjun, you can also go to Jiangxia in the northeast, but what is the situation in Jiangxia, Cao Cao still doesn't understand. Instead of facing the hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou troops, he might as well go north to Nanjun.

As for going from Yizhou, this is a joke, just the road in Yizhou, it's easy to get in, but if you want to go around and finally get to Nanyang, you don't have to think about this. Even if it's smooth, it doesn't have to be long, and you don't even have to think about it.

Zhou Yu knew this very well in his heart, but now he found that Xu Sheng also thought of this, which was not bad. After all, not everyone could think of this, he knew that Zhang Liao must have thought of it too, but he just didn't tell the truth to his lord. At least Zhou Yu thinks that what Xu Sheng has thought of, Zhang Liao can't think of it, and he still believes in him-

I'll make it up today, or try to make up for it tomorrow. (To be continued......)
