Chapter 143: Forbearance

Zhao Yun and Sun Ce can be regarded as not knowing each other, although the two have very different personalities, they have a lot of common language, and they talk and laugh all the way back to the camp.

"Report to the two generals, General Zhou has been waiting for the two of them in the camp for more than a long time, and please come with me."

As soon as they came to the gate of the camp, Zhao Yun and Sun Ce were stopped. A herald soldier stared at Sun Ce and said.

As soon as Sun Ce saw the appearance of the herald, he knew that Zhou Yu must be angry. Looking at this posture, if you don't go, it is estimated that the captain will not be able to do it properly.

Originally, he wanted to slip away, but he decisively gave up this idea, and followed Zhao Yun to the camp with a little weak heart.

Zhao Yun saw Sun Ce's nervous look, and said curiously, "Bo Fu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Sun Ce patted the dust on his body, touched the back of his head, and said weakly: "It's okay." Zilong, wait a minute, remember to intercede for me! ”

Zhao Yun listened to Sun Ce's brainless words, confused, and just wanted to ask what it meant, but the two of them had already come to the camp, and Zhao Yun had to give up.

"Two generals, please, General Zhou is inside."

"Thank you!" Zhao Yundao.

Then Zhao Yun and Sun Ce entered the big tent, and when they saw Zhou Yu standing in the center of the tent, the two knelt on one knee, hugged their fists and said, "Meet the general." ”

Zhou Yu hurriedly helped Zhao Yun up with a smile on his face, completely ignoring Sun Ce on the side, and said cordially: "General Zhao, please get up quickly." It's a great honor for the general to come! ”

Zhao Yun stood up and said with a smile: "The general's words are serious, Yun Benyi is clothed, it is Yun's honor to be under the command of the general." ”

The two talked happily, and Sun Ceke next to him was still kneeling on one knee! Seeing this scene, I stood up very consciously.

Zhou Yu turned his head and glared at Sun Ce and said, "Who made you stand up!" ”

When Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu like this, he said with a little emptiness: "How can I say that I am also your eldest brother, how can you treat me like this?" ”

Zhou Yu saw this innocent appearance, so he didn't get angry: "Come on, Sun Ce is picking quarrels and provoking trouble for no reason in the camp, fighting privately, and pulling him down to beat him in public for thirty boards!" ”

Sun Ce saw that Zhou Yu seemed to be really angry, and hurriedly looked at Zhao Yun as if asking for help.

Zhao Yun hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The general is angry!" General Sun is not provoking Yu Yun, the two of us are just fighting, this matter is wrong with Yun, and I hope the general will forgive him. ”

Zhou Yu didn't plan to do anything to Sun Ce, glared at Sun Ce angrily, and helped Zhao Yun up again: "For General Zhao's sake, I will forgive you this time." The next time you do it again, I'll punish you for being a hundred generals! ”

Sun Ce shrunk his neck and nodded hurriedly: "Gongjin, don't worry, I won't be so reckless next time!" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at him, with Sun Ce's character, if he can calm down, there will be ghosts.

Zhou Tai, Yu Ban and Ling Cao, who had already come early, looked at Sun Ce, a living treasure, and they were all happy.

Zhou Yu snorted coldly and then walked to the sand table, waving his hand to summon the four generals: "Come, let me tell you about the war arranged for us by the lord." ”

Sun Ce and the others walked over and looked at the sand table that clearly showed Yuzhou and the surrounding areas.

"Yuzhou has six counties under its jurisdiction, namely Yingchuan County, Runan County, Liang State, Pei State, Chen State, and Lu State, with a total population of more than 5 million."

Zhou Yu then pointed in the direction of Runan: "Runan is the richest county in Yuzhou, with a population of about 2.1 million, adjacent to my Lujiang River. ”

These demographic figures of Zhou Yu come from the official statistics of the Emperor Ling period. In recent years, due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the plundering of Yuan Shu, the population of Yuzhou has decreased by about 30%. However, due to the chaos of the war, it is difficult to count, so the previous data can only be used temporarily.

"Liu Bei is in charge of Yuzhou, and Peiguo and Lu are captured by Tao Qian of Xuzhou, so there are only the remaining four counties under Liu Bei's control."

I have to say that Tao Qian, the old man, is really good, although he has no generals under his command and his personality is relatively soft, but his ability to see stitches and pick up leaks is not small. Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou around Xuzhou were all occupied by him. It is no wonder that Cao Cao was so greedy for Xuzhou in history.

"However, Peiguo and Lu are relatively weak, and their combined strength is less than a quarter of Yuzhou, so the forces under Liu Bei are still quite strong."

"Especially the two generals under the command of the other party, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused and glared at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce touched his head awkwardly: "Don't worry, I will not show my head when the time comes." ”

Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai squinted slightly.

Zhou Yu looked at the two of them solemnly: "Zilong and Youping, if Liu Bei really ignores the overall situation and attacks us with all his might, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will be handed over to the two of you." As long as you can hold them both back, I'll have the soldiers to help. ”

Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai nodded solemnly. Zhao Yun was still faintly excited in his heart: Guan Yu Zhang Fei!

Zhao Yun has always been said to be blessed, his own qualifications are very rebellious, coupled with the teaching of famous teachers, he is the peak of first-class generals when he just came down the mountain, a proper winner in life, and a template for the protagonist.

Like Zhao Yun, Pan Feng, who has a systematic martial arts inheritance, broke through Huaxiong, and Zhao Yun now has a faint feeling. You only need a battle of life and death to break through by yourself.

As for dying at the hands of Guan Zhang? I'm sorry, Tong Yuan's old monster left Zhao Yun with a lot of life-saving tricks. As long as Zhao Yun is not careless, even Lu Bu is estimated to not be able to kill Zhao Yun.

Yuan Shu also took into account the existence of Guan Zhang, so he pulled Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai over. Zhao Yun himself can fight with the other party without winning or losing, and he may be able to hold out for a while.

Zhou Tai, on the other hand, is an undead monster. This product has suffered various fatal injuries countless times in history, and it has been more than eight deaths for ordinary people, but this product has nothing to do. After being slashed with countless knives, he could still protect Sun Quan's safe escape, and this kind of physique comparable to Xiao Qiang would definitely have no problem dragging Guan Zhangzhong's other ironclad body.

If it weren't for these two people, Yuan Shu really wouldn't dare to put Zhou Yu's trio under Liu Bei's nose.

After getting the affirmative reaction of the two, Zhou Yu nodded: "During the battle, Zilong and Bo Fu led the iron cavalry on both wings, ready to flank the other party at any time. General Ling Cao, you are responsible for playing the striker. General Yu Ban and I were in charge of the Chinese army. ”

"Our army is newly established, and I hope that the generals will take control of the soldiers under their command as soon as possible, and understand and run in with each other more. Half a month later, it was the time when our army marched into Runan to fight Liu Bei. ”

Zhao Yun and the other four hugged their fists and said, "No." ”

In Runan, Liu Bei, as the first assassin of Yuzhou, took charge of Yuzhou, and jumped from a grassroots to a prince, and he was very excited.

But soon, he discovered that his assassination was somewhat in name. Officials, military power, etc. are mostly in the hands of local families. Although the other party was also quite cooperative, Liu Bei still felt worried.

Although he didn't know how Kong Ling died, he was faintly aware of it. After many inquiries, he learned that Yuzhou was once the base camp of the Yuan family. And Yuan Shao is still able to remotely control the Yuzhou family to elevate himself.

However, Liu Bei was not worried about this. He is not a corrupt Confucian with no foundation like Kong Ling, he is a descendant of the Han family, but he has two brothers who are enemies of Guan Zhang, as well as two advisers of Sun Qian and Jian Yong.

To have an identity, there are a lot of good and fierce generals, although there may be some shortcomings in the fight for hegemony in the world, but it is more than enough to control a Yuzhou.

And now it is a troubled time, even if Yuan Shao can still control the family in Yuzhou now, but after Cao Mengde takes up Yanzhou, I am afraid that Yuan Shao's hand will not be so long.

Liu Bei, who is very confident, is just frantically brushing his face in various places during this time, gathering the hearts of the people, and by the way, attracting some wealthy families who are optimistic about him. Guan Zhang and others under his command are also using Yuzhou's abundant money and food to recruit and train soldiers.

Liu Bei, who once commanded no more than three or five hundred soldiers, recruited an army of 50,000 at once, and Guan and Zhang had 20,000 each. turned them all over, and after being poor for half a lifetime, they suddenly became too broad.

Liu Bei, who is good at forbearance, knows the strength and importance of the family, and does not want to fall out with them. is accumulating strength, just waiting for the situation in the world to change, so that he can control Yuzhou logically.
