"Lord, Jinyiwei set up an ambush in Xishan, Zhang Zhao died in ambush when passing through Xishan, Jiangdong has lost a pillar of the minister!!"

"Okay, how about the casualties of Jinyiwei?"

"Jinyi Wei has dozens of dead and wounded, and the rest can lurk in Zhenze, and there is no danger for the time being!"

……

"Lord, Jinyiwei sent back the news, after Zhang Zhaozhong died, the city of Wu County was boiling, and most of the Jiangdong scholars and Wu County Wenwu thought that this matter was done by Tai Shici and others, and the battle for the heir in Jiangdong has been further !!"

"Okay, continue to pay attention to this matter, let Jinyi Weilux spread this matter more, and we must intensify the battle for succession in Jiangdong!"

"No, the last general will take the order, and he will live up to the trust of the lord!!"

……

"Lord, Jinyi Wei sent back the news, Tai Shi Ci led thousands of iron cavalry generals Da Qiao and Sun Shao's mother and son to welcome the army outside Qu'a City and took them to the Dantu camp, Tai Shi Ci and his party were passing through Dantu City, but they were unexpectedly ambushed by unknown forces, but Tai Shi Ci and others were able to protect effectively, and the assassins did not succeed, and at present, Tai Shi Ci and his party have been stationed in the Dantu camp."

"Good! At this time, the person who can assassinate Sun Shao and Da Qiao must be Sun Quan, it seems that the battle for the heir in Jiangdong has entered a white-hot stage, as long as it can be provoked a little, it is not impossible for a civil war in the Dantu camp, so that Jinyiwei preaches that Sun Quan assassinated Sun Shao's mother and son, if there is a conflict in the Dantu camp, let Jinyiwei wait for the opportunity to move!! ”

"No, the last general will be ordered !!"

……

"Lord, Jinyiwei sent back the news, the assassination of Zhou Yu was not successful, Zhou Yu had already taken precautions to let the stand-in lead the army in front, and he led the army to accompany him, Zhou Yu finally escaped!"

"Zhou Yu is proficient in military strategy, and it is not surprising that the assassination is unfavorable, how about the death and injury of Jinyiwei?"

"The two hundred Jinyi guards are basically dead and wounded, and the rest of them have been dragged into the mountains and forests."

"Well, with a generous compassionate pension, the surviving Jinyi guards must also respond as soon as possible!"

"No, the last general will be ordered !!"

……

"Lord, Mrs. Sun and Zhang Hong and others entered the Dantu camp, Mrs. Sun ordered Sun Quan to take over the position of Wu Hou in front of Sun Celing, Da Qiao's mother and son and Tai Shici and others resisted to death, the two sides finally broke up, Da Qiao and Sun Shao's mother and son were able to leave safely under the escort of Tai Shici and others, and the 50,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses of the Dantu camp have been officially divided into two parts, one is the soldiers and horses who support Sun Shao to inherit Wu Hou's position, about 20,000 people; One is to support Sun Quan's succession to Wu Hou's throne without a password, about 30,000 people! ”

"Good! The battle for the heirs in Jiangdong has finally been completely launched, and the two sides are still in a stalemate, they should be waiting for Zhou Yu to go, and after Zhou Yu arrives at the Dantu camp, there will be great changes in Jiangdong, so that Jinyiwei will slowly pay close attention to this matter and wait for an opportunity to act, if it can provoke a civil war in Jiangdong, it will be a great achievement!! ”

"No, the last general has been ordered, and he will personally pay attention to this matter!"

……

"Lord, the news of Sun Ce's death and various rumors have spread all over Jiangdong, according to Jinyiwei's report, Sun Ce's cousin Sun Wei is mobilizing troops and horses after Sun Ce's death!"

"Oh? This is an unexpected gain, I don't know where Sun Wei is stationed? ”

"Back to the lord, that Sun Wei's garrison is in Wucheng County, Wu County, according to Jinyiwei's report, that Sun Wei has the intention of using Wucheng soldiers and horses to capture Huiji County and stand on his own!"

"Send an order to Jinyiwei, spread all kinds of rumors, and let Sun Wei speed up his actions, if Sun Wei can attack Huiji and set off a civil war in Jiangdong, then our army's attack on Jiangdong will be smoother!"

"No, the last general will be ordered !!"

……

"Lord, Yuan Shao personally led the army to march to Liyang, Yuan Yao's general Yan Liang besieged White Horse City, and Dongjun Taishou Liu Yan defended the city, according to the battle situation of both sides, Cao's army should be able to hold out for a while!"

"Good! That's great! Yuan Shao marched to Liyang, and the battle of Cao Yuan broke out, even if the news of Sun Ce's death reached Xudu, Cao Cao had to deal with Yuan Yao's attack first, Cao Cao no longer had the energy to take care of my Jianghuai and Jiangdong affairs, and the biggest obstacle for our army to attack Jiangdong had been cleared! ”

"Now it depends on whether Cao Cao's movements are faster, or our actions are faster, so that Jinyiwei can keep an eye on the situation of Cao Yuan's battle at any time, and report any information to me at any time!"

"No, the last general will be ordered !!"

……

Just when Yuan Yao and Jin Yiwei were paying close attention to the affairs of Jiangdong, the news of Sun Ce's death finally reached Xu Du.

……

Yuzhou, Xudu.

Cao Cao was dealing with military affairs in the study, planning the upcoming decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and Cheng Yu, who was in charge of intelligence, suddenly came to Cao Cao's study in a hurry to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu to be brought into the study, raised his head and rubbed his brows, and said, "Zhongde, I don't know what the important thing is, you want to see me so eagerly?" Could it be that Yuan Shao has already led his army south? ”

Cheng Yu let out a wry smile, presented a silk book with both hands, and said: "I'm afraid this matter is more tricky than Yuan Shao leading his army south, Jiangdong Wu Hou Sun Ce was assassinated and killed while hunting Dantu, this is the exact news from Xizuo." ”

"What !!"

"Jiangdong Sun Ce was assassinated???"

"Sun Ce just died!!"

"He died at this time???"

"How could he die at this time!!"

"If he dies, then who else can Yuan Yao cure, and the erector misunderstands me!!"

……

When Cao Cao heard the news of Sun Ce's death, he was immediately furious, Cheng Yu was right, in Cao Cao's heart, the news of Sun Ce's unexpected death was even more tricky than the news that Yuan Shao led his army south!

Yuan Shao led the army south, it is already a well-known thing in the world, Cao Cao has been planning for this matter for several years, and has made preparations for more than a year, and now Cao Cao has planned well prepared, even if Yuan Shao sends troops south now, he has already made a response in an orderly manner.

But the news of Sun Ce's death is different, this thing is too unexpected!!

Except for the few forces involved in this matter, who would have thought that Sun Ce, who was in the prime of life and spring, would be assassinated at this time? There was no way to make an early warning about this matter, which made Cao Cao not prepared at all!

Originally, Cao Cao planned it well, but Liu Biao in Jingzhou was just a dog guarding the household, and he definitely didn't dare to make any small moves when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were fighting; Cao Cao first asked Yuan Yao and Sun Ce to tear their faces and guard each other, and then asked Chen Deng to limit the forces of Yuan Yao and Sun Ce, so that Jianghuai and Jiangdong could also be safe.

In such a situation, he can start a decisive battle with Yuan Shao with peace of mind!

But now, Sun Ce was suddenly assassinated, Sun Ce is dead, who can stop Yuan Yao?

If Yuan Yao is allowed to destroy the Sun clan and annex the land of Jiangdong, then the remaining princes south of the Yangtze River will no longer have Yuan Yao's opponents, and at that time, Yuan Yao's rise will be unstoppable, and in the end, even if Cao Cao defeats Yuan Shao, then another big enemy will rise behind him!!

"The new strategy and Jiangdong, all the punishments are heroic and heroic, and those who can win people's death are also. However, the strategy is light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to traveling alone in the Central Plains. If the assassin rises, the enemy of one man. In my opinion, he will die at the hands of the horseman. Cao Cao muttered a sentence of Guo Jia's evaluation of Sun Ce, and said: "Hehe, this Sun Ce's ending really made Feng Xiao guess right, come here, and summon Feng Xiao to see me!" ”

……

Guo Jia came to Cao Cao's study, and when he saw that Cheng Yu was also here, he was slightly stunned in his heart, and said: "The minister is visiting the lord, I don't know what is the important matter for the lord to summon the ministers?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, and said: "'' However, the strategy is light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to traveling alone in the Central Plains. If the assassin rises, the enemy of one man. In my opinion, he will die at the hands of the horseman. "'Bong-hyo, do you remember that?'

Guo Jia stroked his beard and replied: "The minister naturally remembers that this sentence was said by the minister when Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong. ”

"Fengxiao, Fengxiao, I didn't expect you to say it at the beginning, but it should be at this time!" Cao Cao shook his head slightly, pushed the silk book on the table to Guo Jia, and said, "This is the information that Zhongde just sent, you can take a look first." ”

Guo Jia is so wise and close to the demon, when he heard Cao Cao say his words, there was a trace of bad meaning in his heart, could it be that he actually said it?

Guo Jia hurriedly picked up the silk book on the table and read it, only to see that Sun Ce's assassination by the river was written on the silk book.

Guo Jia thought about it slightly, and understood the meaning of Cao Cao's words, it seems that the lord still doubts himself!

Guo Jia thought about Cao Cao's suspicious character, sighed in his heart, and said: "Back to the lord, this matter was not done by the minister, and the minister just learned about it. ”

Cao Cao's temptation just now, Guo Jia's reaction was very normal, Cao Cao saw Guo Jia's frank and unflustered look, so he also believed Guo Jia's words, laughed, and said, "What does Feng Xiao mean?" How could I suspect that you were responsible for such an unwise thing? I came to you to hear your opinion, who do you think is responsible? ”

Guo Jia lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Sun Ce is brave and good at fighting, brave and unstoppable, if you want to assassinate Sun Ce, this is a very dangerous thing, only if there is absolute interest, someone will do something!" Sun Ce was assassinated, and there were only two beneficiaries of the beneficiation, one was Guangling Chen Deng, and the other was Jianghuai Yuan Yao. ”

"Guangling Chen Deng? JAC Yuan Yao? ”

Cao Cao lowered his head and thought for a moment, and he had to say that Guo Jia's calculation was very reasonable, if there was no absolute interest, who would do such a thankless thing? Sun Ce died, and the only ones who could profit from it were the two of them, so Sun Ce's death must have been the work of the two of them!!

"Then Feng Xiao thinks that who should be one of the two of them in this matter?"

Although this question seems to be a simple question of choosing one of the two, but the relationship between this question is big, if the assassination of Sun Ce was done by the Guangling Chen family, at least it will take a certain amount of time for Yuan Yao to react, if Jiangdong can quickly make a decision to come up with a new master of Jiangdong, maybe it can avoid giving Yuan Yao the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and let Jiangdong escape; But if the assassination of Sun Ce was done by Yuan Yao, then the matter would be a big deal, Yuan Yao must have been prepared to use troops against Jiangdong, with Yuan Yao's ability to use troops before, coupled with the combat power of the soldiers and horses of the three counties of Lujiang, it will be difficult for Jiangdong to escape!

Guo Jia also understood the current situation, Cao Cao no longer had the energy to take care of the affairs of the Jianghuai Land and the Jiangdong Land, and now they were extremely limited in what they could do, so Guo Jia did not block Cao Cao anymore, and after thinking for a while, he said the answer that he thought was the most likely and the most willing for Cao Cao.

"Back to the lord, the minister thinks that this matter should be done by the Guangling Chen family, and it is extremely unlikely that Yuan Yao planned this matter."

"Bonghyo won't be comforting me, right? Why do you think so? ”

"The lord can rest assured, the minister is ninety percent sure that this matter should be done by the Guangling Chen family! The information sent back by Xizuo has already explained that it was because there was an internal response in the Jiangdong Army that secretly responded that Sun Ce had the heart to go out of the camp to hunt, which eventually led to Sun Ce's assassination! It can be seen that there must be someone in Jiangdong who cooperated with the person behind the curtain to complete this matter, Jianghuai Yuan Yao is Jiangdong's mortal enemy, even if the people in Jiangdong Army want to kill Sun Ce again, they will never cooperate with Yuan Yao! ”

"And if it is as expected by the minister, the people in the Jiangdong army should be the remnants of Yan Baihu and the Jiangdong scholars, Guangling Chen Deng has already contacted the remnants of Yan Baihu, and the Jiangdong scholars are also friendly with the Guangling Chen clan, and only the Guangling Chen clan can reconcile the contradictions between the two and complete this matter together. If Yuan Yao came forward, the Jiangdong clan would definitely not cooperate with him, so the minister thought that this matter should be done by the Guangling Chen clan! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Although it is still necessary to borrow Chen Deng's ability now, you must not let them do anything wrong, Zhongde, you send someone to reprimand the Guangling Chen clan and let them guard their duties!" ”

Cheng Yu bowed down and bowed when he heard this: "Nuo, the minister takes the order!" ”

"Sun Ce was assassinated and died, Yuan Yao will definitely use troops in Jiangdong, what should I do?"

Cheng Yu has always been doing the monitoring of Jiangdong before, Guo Jia just explained, but it was just because Cao Cao had been asking him, this time Cao Cao did not continue to name him, and Guo Jia did not steal Cheng Yu's limelight again.

Cheng Yu saw that Guo Jia did not speak, but gave the opportunity to himself, Cheng Yu nodded and smiled at the country, exchanged a look, and then replied: "Lord, according to the information sent back from Jiangdong, there has been a dispute within Jiangdong at this time, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other veterans support Sun Quan to inherit Wu Hou's position, while Tai Shici and others support Sun Ce's son Sun Shao to inherit Wu Hou's position. After Sun Ce's death, the combat power of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses was already weaker than Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses, if Jiangdong was still not in harmony, then it would be difficult for Jiangdong to block Yuan Yao's conquest! ”

Why did Cao Cao dare to fight Yuan Shao, wasn't it because Yuan Shao's martial arts and appearance were in harmony with the internal discord?

It is already the case within a force that is just a matter of appearance, not to mention how much contradiction will arise when two forces compete for the throne, and this kind of influence is enough to make a force disappear!!

Cao Cao knew this very well, nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "Then what do I think of it?" ”

Cheng Yu arched his hand and replied: "The lord is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he is the master of the heavens, this Wu Hou's position, the lord can say that he deserves it!" As long as the position of Wu Hou is determined as soon as possible, Jiangdong can fight the enemy together! ”

"In your opinion, who can deserve the position of Wu Hou?"

"Back to the lord, Sun Ce's son Sun Shao is just an infant son, if Sun Shao inherits the position of Wu Hou, Jiangdong will definitely have variables within Jiangdong, in the opinion of the minister, Sun Quan should assume the position of Wu Hou, Sun Quan has the support of the generals in the army, and is friendly with the Jiangdong scholars, only if he inherits the position of Wu Hou, Jiangdong will have the strength to resist Yuan Yao!"

"Good! In this case, let you go to Jiangdong and make a trip, I will count the blank edict with you, you can do it cheaply! If necessary, I can send a large army south to support you!! ”

"No, the minister receives the order, if he can do this, he will live up to the trust of the lord!!"

……

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the study again!

Cao Cao had already ordered that no one should approach the study, and when he heard that someone dared to disobey his order, Cao Cao was immediately furious and shouted: "Who is outside, didn't you hear my order before?" ”

Xu Chu has been standing outside the door, he doesn't know what Cao Cao and Cheng Yu and others are discussing, and he doesn't know whether he should break in at this time, hearing Cao Cao's cheers, Xu Chu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lord, Dongjun Taishou Liu Yan sent an emergency military situation!" ”

When Cao Cao heard Xu Chu's words, he was immediately shocked and said urgently: "What! Liu Yan sent emergency military intelligence? Hurry up and let the messenger in! ”

A sergeant followed behind Xu Chu, and after entering the study, he hurriedly bowed to the ground and said: "Prime Minister, Yuan Shaobing entered Liyang, with the general Yan Liang leading an army of 100,000 as the vanguard, Yan Liang personally led the army to besiege White Horse City, White Horse is in danger, and the villain is too shou to ask for reinforcements!" ”

"Yuan Shao actually sent troops? Its general Yan Liang personally led an army of 100,000 to besiege Baima? Hurry up and get the map! ”

Xu Chu hurriedly stepped forward and spread the map on the table, Cao Cao glanced at the location of Liyang and Baima, and said: "Yuan Shao personally led the army south, it is menacing, I must personally lead the army to meet the battle, and strive to win the first battle to frustrate the spirit of Yuan Shao's army!" Only in this way will our military have a chance to win! ”

"Hey, Yuan Shao actually sent troops at this time, it's really fate!"

"Zhongde, Yuan Shao's army is going south, our army no longer has the energy to take care of Jianghuai and Jiangdong, the matter of Jiangdong can only be handed over to you to solve, you must deal with this matter in case Yuan Yao, the military situation is urgent, you will leave for Jiangdong tomorrow!"

Without the support of Cao Cao's army, then his majesty would have dropped a lot, but Cheng Yu also knew that Yuan Shao's matter was a matter of life and death, and Yuan Yao could only slowly figure it out!

"No, the minister is commanded!"
