Jiangxia County is the largest county among the seven counties of Jingzhou after Nanyang and Nanjun, and because Jiangxia borders Yangzhou, it has always been a battleground for Jingzhou and Yangzhou.

In the third year of the first peace, Sun Jian took advantage of the battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao in Xiangyang City, and when Huang Zu led his troops to support Xiangyang City, he raised troops to attack Jiangxia, killed Su Fei, the deputy general of Huang Zu who stayed in Jiangxia, captured Jiangxia County, and inserted his hand into the land of Jingzhou. After that, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu had a tacit understanding, and the two did not go to war, because at that time, neither Yuan Shu nor Sun Jian had the confidence to expel the other party from Jingzhou. Rather than losing both sides and letting Liu Biao pick up a bargain, it is better to stop and wait for another battle in the future.

After having a tacit understanding with Yuan Shu to armistice, Sun Jian returned to Jiangdong after staying in Jiangxia for a while, after all, Jiangdong is the foundation of Sun Jian's power, and Sun Jian, as the lord of Jiangdong, cannot leave Jiangdong for too long.

Although Sun Jian left Jiangxia, he left 20,000 troops to guard Jiangxia, and as for the chief general who guarded Jiangxia, it was Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, who was known as the "little overlord" in Jiangdong.

If Sun Ce is alone, Sun Jian is actually not at ease, after all, Sun Ce is still young and easy to act impulsively, but Sun Ce has another person by his side, which perfectly makes up for Sun Ce's defects, so that Sun Jian can hand over Jiangxia to Sun Ce to guard with peace of mind and return to Jiangdong by himself.

This person is Sun Ce's sworn brother, Zhou Yu, who is known as "Mei Zhou Lang" in Jiangdong.

Sun Ce is good at fighting but not good at governance, but Zhou Yu solved all the rear problems for Sun Ce very well, so that Sun Ce could rush and kill on the battlefield without worries. It can be said that if there is no Zhou Yu, Sun Ce's strength will drop by at least three percent. With Zhou Yu, Sun Ce only needs to take care of the battlefield, and leave other things to Zhou Yu, so that Sun Ce can fully exert his strength.

Jiangxia City, Taishou Fuzhong, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sat opposite each other.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, who had called him back from the barracks, and asked, "Gong Jin, is there anything wrong with you?" If you have to call me back, can't you wait until I'm done training at night? ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce, and then said, "I'm afraid you won't be interested in listening to me in the evening." ”

Listening to Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce just smiled and said, "I'll say it first, if it's something about government affairs, then don't say it, I don't understand these things, you can handle it yourself." ”

Zhou Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Bo Fu, you are the future lord of Jiangdong, you still need to learn to deal with these things, otherwise in the future"

Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Ce shaking his hand, and said: "Gong Jin, just leave this kind of thing to you, why do I deal with these things with you, you can do better than me." ”

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, he was speechless in his heart, he understood that this was Sun Ce's trust in him, and it was precisely because of this trust that Zhou Yu wanted to assist Sun Ce to ascend to the supreme position in the world.

Unlike others in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu's gaze was not limited to Jiangdong or the south, but to the whole world. This has led to Zhou Yu's vision being different from many people in Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu's goal has always been to let Sun Ce ascend to that position, which has never changed.

After tidying up his robe, his face turned solemn, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu, according to reliable information, Liu Biao has already led his troops to fight Xiangyang City, and it is estimated that Xiangyang City is already fighting. ”

"Hit Xiangyang City?" Sun Ce frowned: "How did he get up?" ”

Although Sun Ce has some rough lines, it does not mean that Sun Ce is stupid, how can anyone who can suppress Jiangdong and lay a foundation for Sun Wu in history be stupid, it's just that Zhou Yu is here, and Sun Ce is too lazy to use his brain.

Zhou Yu said: "This time we were all deceived by Liu Biao, it turned out that the Jingzhou Sailor was guarding against us in Jingling, but this time Liu Biao unknowingly transferred the Jingzhou Sailor from Jingling, and then went north to Xiangyang by water, and the main force in Xiangyang City was the general Pan Feng, who was sent by Liu Biao Huang Zhong and Wen Ping to entangle in Yicheng County. ”

"Then how many people are there in Jingling now?" Sun Ce keenly captured a fighter plane.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "According to the reliable information from the inquiry, Huang Zu is only guarding the Jingling Tomb now, and there are only a dozen ships under his command, which is vulnerable. ”

Sun Ce's eyes were cold, and he said, "Gong Jin, I understand what you mean." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Haha, I knew you would understand." ”

While speaking, Zhou Yu spread out a map in front of Sun Ce, which was the map of the seven counties of Jingzhou, Zhou Yu pointed to the direction of Jingling on the map, and said: "Jingling, as long as we can take Jingling, we can point directly at Jiangling." This time, Liu Biao came out of the nest in order to take Xiangyang City in one fell swoop, but he was also afraid that we would send troops to copy his rear, so he let Cai Mao continue to blempty in Jingling, intending to deceive us and take Xiangyang City before we reacted. ”

Sun Ce looked at the map and asked, "Gong Jin, do you think that Xiangyang City has been taken by Liu Biao now?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Impossible, Xiangyang City is a strong city in the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although Pan Feng was transferred out by Liu Biao's design, but there is still a Xun Yan in Xiangyang City now." Last year, Yuan Shu personally led most of his civil and military forces to attack Xiangyang City in person, which also took a lot of time, and this time Liu Biao was prepared, but he would definitely not be able to take Xiangyang City within five days. Moreover, what if Liu Biao takes Xiangyang City? At that time, we also took Jiangling City, how could Liu Biao, who had only one Xiangyang City, fight with us? ”

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Okay, Gong Jin, I'll listen to you this time, but I'm afraid Huang Zu is not easy to deal with." ”

Zhou Yu said proudly: "It doesn't matter, if the Jingzhou Sailor is still there, it will take a little effort to deal with Huang Zu, but now that the Jingzhou Sailor has been transferred to Xiangyang City by Liu Biao, there are only a dozen ships in the hands of Jingling Huangzu, how can he fight with us." ”

Sun Ce thought about it, and didn't continue to care about this problem. Zhou Yu's ability Sun Ce knows, compared to governing one side, Zhou Yu is better at battlefield command, especially in the command and operation of the navy, Sun Ce is not Zhou Yu's opponent at all, in Sun Ce's view, although Zhou Yu is young, but in today's world, there are few people who can stabilize Zhou Yu in terms of commanding troops, and if Zhou Yu grows up in a few years, I am afraid that there are few people who can resist Zhou Yu.
