Sun Jian thought for a moment and turned his head to look at Zhou Yu. "Gongjin, what is your opinion?"

Zhou Yu bowed slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Whether it is to attack Fancheng or reinforce Cai Zhou, there is no need to rush to conclusions. Cai Zhou is only a few miles away from here, and the grain will be transported to the camp by tomorrow morning at the latest, and it is not too late to make a decision when the time comes. ”

Sun Jian nodded. "It's still Gongjin who thinks it through, and I think so too." He waved his hand. "You go on."

"Captain Sun's strategy to reinforce Cai Zhou can be described as an old plan for the country. Regardless of whether Bo Fu's losses are big or not, after this battle, Liu Biao will inevitably attach importance to Cai Zhou, and send troops to guard at the lightest, and send troops to besiege it, with Bo Fu's only 2,000 people to defend or more than enough, and the battle is insufficient. Once they are trapped in Caizhou, the task of taking over Cheng Han and the others may be affected. ”

Sun Ben was very satisfied, but Wu Jing's face was a little not good-looking.

Zhou Yu continued: "If it is said that Captain Sun's strategy is based on defense, then Captain Wu's strategy is based on attack. Attacking Fancheng and forcing Liu Biao to not divide his troops to the east is also a good strategy in line with the art of war. ”

Wu Jing turned his anger into joy and nodded again and again.

Sun Jian was secretly happy in his heart. The children of this family can really speak, and none of them can be offended. In this way, it is justified that he wants to increase Cai Zhou's troops. He coughed, feigning displeasure. "Then tell me, are we reinforcing Caizhou, or attacking Fancheng?"

"General, the two can go hand in hand. sent troops to reinforce Cai Zhou, continued to threaten the right flank of Xiangyang, and marched under Fancheng, forcing Liu Biao not to look eastward, and to take a two-pronged approach. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"Although Fancheng is small, it is quite strong, and if it is attacked, the loss will be not small. If the defenders of Xiangyang can be lured out of the city and inflicted heavy losses in the field battle, Fancheng will be broken without attack, and Caizhou will be safe without increase. ”

Sun Jian had a flash of inspiration, suddenly realized, and laughed. "Haha, Yuan Ming, Boyang, do you understand? Gong Jin's plan to fuse the ideas of the two of you into one furnace can be described as a natural skill. ”

Wu Jing and Sun Ben looked at each other. They didn't hear Zhou Yu's specific arrangements, and they didn't know what the magic was. But they know very well that Sun Jian's ability to use troops is much stronger than theirs, Sun Jian said yes, that must be really good, they don't understand that it's their problem, not Zhou Yu's.

"Gong Jin, you tell me in detail." Sun Jian looked at the faces of Wu and Sun in his eyes and gave Zhou Yu a look.

"Whoa." Zhou Yu bowed down to receive the order and told his plan again. Reinforcement Cai Zhou, but not too many men, based on Sun Ce to defend Cai Zhou at the same time, but also give Liu Biao hope to conquer Cai Zhou, luring Liu Biao out of the city to fight. attacked Fancheng, but did not go all out, while containing Liu Biao, he maintained the ability to fight Xiangyang at any time. Once Liu Biao left the city, he immediately shifted the target of the attack and annihilated Liu Biao's main force in the field battle.

Zhou Yu's plan not only fused the opinions of Sun Ben and Wu Jing, but also promoted it, reinforcing Cai Zhou and attacking Fancheng were all false, and a decisive battle with Liu Biao outside the city was the real killer move. Sun Jian understood the subtlety of it, so he applauded the case as soon as he heard it. Although Sun Ben and Wu Jing reacted a little slower, after Zhou Yu's explanation, they also understood, and they couldn't help but be convinced, and secretly sighed.

The children of this family are different, they have such ability at a young age, and their future is limitless. Sun Ce has this person to assist, and it won't be too long for him to lead one alone. These old people must change their thinking as soon as possible, and they can't ignore Sun Ce's existence.

——

Early the next morning, the grain was transported to Daying, and along with the grain, there were more than 1,000 people of the Cai family.

Sun Fu, who supervised the transportation of grain and grass, rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army as soon as possible and reported to Sun Jian. Knowing the whole process of Sun Ce's attack on Cai Zhou, Sun Jian was surprised and delighted. The surprise was that Sun Ce was so bold that he was almost risky, and the joy was that Liu Biao, as Sun Ce expected, did not send troops to support Cai Zhou, so that Sun Ce easily controlled Cai Zhou, and the loss was almost negligible.

Sun Fu immediately reported that Sun Ce wanted to slaughter Cai Zhou, and now he did not agree with him marrying Cai Ke as his wife, so he asked Sun Jian to call the shots.

Sun Jian was a little unhappy. Sun Ce broke through Cai Zhou, Sun Fu didn't make an inch, but he wanted to marry Cai Ke, just take advantage of it, and also said irresponsible things to Sun Ce, Sun Fu did not do this authentically. He was about to reprimand Sun Fu twice, when Zhou Yu pulled his sleeve from behind. Seeing this, Sun Jian swallowed back the words that came to his lips and patted Sun Fu on the shoulder.

"Well, go and ask your brother what he thinks. If he supports you to marry Cai Ke, even if Bo Fu doesn't agree, it's useless. ”

"Whoa." Sun Fu was overjoyed, saluted, hurried out of the camp, and rushed to Sun Ben's camp in Fancheng.

When Sun Fu came out of the camp, Sun Jian said in a muffled voice: "Gong Jin, what is Bo Fu doing?" ”

Zhou Yu persuaded: "General, Sun Guoyi's outspoken and unscrupulous words are a manifestation of his unscrupulous attitude towards the general, and the general should be happy because of this." Bo Fu attacked Cai Zhou, although it was successful, but it was indeed risky, and Sun Guoyi's opposition was also out of stability, and there was no big mistake. As for slaughtering Cai Zhou, I think Bo Fu is just scaring the Cai family, Guoyi is loyal and can't see through it. ”

Sun Jian's face softened a little. "Then what if he wants to marry the daughter of the Cai family, what's going on?"

"General, Guoyi is at the right age, if it weren't for the general's expedition, I'm afraid I would have started a family a long time ago. Bo Fu contributed to this, and it was also a piece of heart. ”

"Since you want to marry the Cai family, why doesn't Bo Fu take it yourself?"

"Bo Fu doesn't marry Cai, I think there may be two reasons: one is that he wants to be powerful, and the other is that he doesn't look down on the Cai family."

"He still doesn't look down on the Cai family?" Sun Jian snorted: "Then whose daughter does he want to marry, does your Zhou family have a woman of the same age?" ”

Zhou Yu was embarrassed. "General, Bo Fu has high ambitions, why don't you have a wife? Guoyi also said that Bo Fu sat down with Pang Degong the day before yesterday and said, it is not inferior, and it will definitely be famous in the future, and when the time comes, the person who comes forward to ask for relatives will probably step through the threshold of the general's mansion, and the general does not need to worry. ”

Sun Jian laughed loudly. "I'm just afraid that the expectations of the shaft are too high and the time will be delayed. He is sixteen this year, and it is time to get married. ”

Zhou Yu blinked and began to worry about Sun Ce. He said it right, but in fact, he didn't agree with Sun Ce's promotion of Sun Fu marrying Cai Ke, but he couldn't say it. He thought for a while, and then said: "General, Bo Fu's military report is too brief, I'm afraid there are still some things that have not been clarified, I want to go to Cai Zhou in person to ask for clarification." ”

Sun Jian nodded in agreement. "You lead a thousand people to Caizhou, pass on my order, worship Huang Han to be promoted to captain, let him lead these thousand people, and follow Bo Fu, and he will not treat him badly in the future. As for Zu Mao, let him leave Yicong behind and come back alone, I really can't live without him by my side. ”

Zhou Yu comprehended and bowed down to receive the order.
