When Liu Bei saw Sun Cezhi, he was not in a hurry, he reined in his horse on the mountain, gave a bow humbly and politely, and said softly.

"Sun Lang sits in Jiangdong, and is both Heyang and Jiaozhou, and he is extremely rich and noble, and his glory is overwhelming. Why is it that the greed is not enough, and they come to invade my Jingzhou again? ”

Sun Ce's expression was cold, so he replied at Cai Mao's invitation. When Liu Bei heard this, he just laughed. Sun Ce's face became colder and colder, and he asked in a loud voice.

"Liu Xuande, what do you mean by laughing!?"

Isn't Sun Lang ashamed to say this? No one in Jingzhou knew that Cai Mao changed his will without permission and seized power in Jingzhou. Although I Liu Xuande was only stupid and stupid, I was in Jingzhou in the past, but fortunately my brother Liu Jingsheng accepted it, and now he has passed away, leaving a will, asking me to assist my nephew Liu Qi to manage political affairs.

Sun Lang, you don't know the unification, ignore benevolence and righteousness, help the abuse, forcibly occupy the land of Jingzhou, but instead speak righteously, and do evil in other people's territory, don't you laugh at it!? ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he was furious and ordered the generals to go up the mountain to arrest Liu Bei. Ling Tong and Cheng Pu took the lead and galloped. Suddenly, a thunderous drum sounded, and two Biao troops came out behind the mountain, Pan Feng on the right and Zhang Fei on the left. The two generals led 3,000 crossbowmen and fired indiscriminately down the mountain, and the arrows rained down like rain. Ling Tong and Cheng Pu hurriedly pulled their weapons to resist, Sun Ce was shocked, and hurriedly led the generals back. Behind them, Pan and Zhang were like two tigers descending from the mountain and pounced into the flock, rushed into the Jiangdong crowd, rushed left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, and killed more than a dozen Jiangdong generals. The Jiangdong generals, seeing that Pan and Zhang were so powerful, fled desperately, and rushed halfway, Zhou Yu led most of the soldiers and horses to arrive, killed the pursuing enemy soldiers, and rescued Sun Ce. Pan and Zhang returned from the killing, Le Ma stopped in one place, and shouted angrily in unison.

"Jiangdong rats, it is useless to invade my Jingzhou land, and we will fight to the death! If you know each other, quickly withdraw the army, otherwise he will kill you and others in the future, and the blood will flow like a mountain!! ”

After Pan and Zhang finished drinking, they led their troops to retreat, and Liu Jun played a triumphant song in unison and returned to Jiangling. Sun Ce led the army back to the camp in embarrassment, and when he saw that all the generals had palpitations, he thought to himself in the tent.

"That Liu Xuande is not an idle character. and is assisted by Zhuge Liang, a genius of the world. Kong Ming, Kong Ming. The red sun in the dream must be Zhuge Liang. The response of the green dragon is its lord Liu Xuande. The dragon bites the red sun, Liu Xuande will be the emperor after a long time! ”

So in Sun Ce's heart, he couldn't help but have a hint of retreat, and he was afraid that he would be laughed at by Liu Bei, and he was undecided. The two sides rejected each other for more than a month, fought several battles, and won and lost each other.

At the same time, on the Jiangxia side, Zhou Tai also sent an urgent report, although Huang Gai came to help the soldiers and horses in recent months, but Huang Zhong could not get out of the city, and the Jiangxia soldiers and horses in the city were desperately defending. The army fought for a long time, but still failed to break through Xiling. And Huang Zhong and Tai Shici have superb archery skills, and they can't be prevented, and many soldiers in the army were shot and wounded by two people, and the morale of the army was low, and all the generals were persuaded to retreat.

When Sun Ce heard about the Jiangxia war report, he retreated even more. Until the first month of the following year, the spring rain continued continuously, and it rained for many days, and the water harbor was full, and the sergeants were mostly in the muddy water, and the hardship was abnormal. Sun Ce's heart was even more worried, and he was in the village that day, discussing with the civil and military forces. Jiangdong civil and military, or persuade Sun Ce to withdraw his troops, or admonish the warm spring this year, just hold each other, and cannot retreat. Some people also persuaded that it was raining in the spring, and if it was not the time for war, it was better to defend the army first, and then make a plot after recuperation.

Sun Ce hesitated and turned to look at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu's eyes were cold, and he only said that after a while, Liu Bei would definitely send someone to see him, and then see how it was, and then make a conclusion.

As soon as Zhou Yu's words fell, a soldier came to report outside the tent, and Liu Bei sent an Iraqi to see him. Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed, and he first asked the soldier Yan Sun Ce to discuss with the Jiangdong ministers, and then meet with him three days later. The soldiers took the order and left, and when Yi heard this, he seemed to have expected it, and without the slightest anger, he got on his horse and went back to Gangneung.

Three days later, the Iraqi came to Jiangdong Village to ask for a meeting. Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, greeted him personally, and after the two finished the ceremony, Zhou Yu led the Yi nationality into the village. When the Iraqi saw the whole column of flags in the village, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses were training, and the Iraqi saw that the soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong troops were very prosperous, and they secretly envied in their hearts.

"Zhou Gongjin is really very human!"

The sergeant reported to the account and said that he wanted to see him. Sun Ce summoned him, and Zhou Yu introduced Yi nationality into the account. After the ceremony, the guests and hosts sat down. After tea, the Yi nationality gave up his hand.

"Jingzhou collapsed and chaos due to the death of the ancestor Liu Jingsheng. Fortunately, Uncle Liu Huang crusaded against the traitor Cai Deqi, and saw that Jingzhou was about to be determined. However, Marquis Wu sent troops from Jiangdong to invade Jingzhou, taking advantage of the chaos to seize the land of Jingzhou, and he was afraid that it would not be reasonable. At present, Wu Hou and Uncle Liu Huang have been facing each other for a long time, and there have been countless casualties on both sides. ”

"Hahaha!"

When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately burst into laughter, and his face remained unchanged at all as he listened to Sun Ce's disdainful laughter. Sun Ce finished laughing, looked at Yi Yuan under the high hall, and shouted coldly.

"Today, there is a great chaos, the princes of various places are fighting with each other, for decades, the so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the villain! Liu Xuande did not have the strength to protect Jingzhou, and the loss of the territory was actually his incompetence! How dare you blame others! What's more, even if I return the land of Jingzhou, he will Cao Mengde wave his troops south, and Liu Xuande will not be able to ensure that Jingzhou is not lost!

In this way, Liu Xuande might as well lead the crowd to return to me. I will join the forces of Jiangdong and Yang, Jiao, and Jing to resist Cao Cao, and we will definitely be able to break his army, smash Huanglong, enter the Central Plains, and achieve the cause of the overlord. Immediately, I can divide the land of Jingzhou and Liu Xuande, and enter the position of the king of Han! ”

Sun Ce's ambition was majestic, and as soon as he said it, Yi Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he angrily scolded this Sun Bo Fu Guo in his heart for being as domineering as Xiang Ji in the past. However, Yi knew that he had a great responsibility, so he suppressed his anger and said.

"Marquis Wu is a wise man, and the three generations of the Sun family are deeply favored by the imperial court, why did he also make such a rebellious remark?"

When Zhou Yu heard this, he retorted coldly.

Liu Xuande was displaced in the past, but fortunately Liu Jingsheng accepted him, so he had a place to live. Now Liu Xuande took advantage of Liu Jingsheng's illness and died to seize power and land, and he doesn't necessarily know how high-definition he is! ”

Yi Ji's expression froze, Zhuge Liang had already delivered words before he came, and he replied immediately.

As the saying goes, everything will return to the Lord. The nine counties of Jingxiang, not the land of Eastern Wu, are the foundation of Liu Jingsheng. My lord is the brother of Jingsheng. Although Jingsheng is dead, his son is still alive, and it is common sense in the world to guard Jingzhou with his uncle and nephew. Today, the Marquis of Wu forcibly occupies the territory of others and commits great murder, which is unkind and unjust. My lord Uncle Liu Huang is benevolent and righteous in the four seas, deeply loved by the people of Jingzhou, although weaker than Wu Hou, but Jingzhou is united, work together, and will fight to the death with Wu Hou, and the jade will be burned!! ”

"Hahaha! A good sentence of jade burning, Liu Xuande has suffered countless defeats in his life, and he has no plan, if it were not for the assistance of the Zhuge villager, he would have been wiped out by Cao Cao's army in Xinye. Could it be that I still have him! Now I will first cut off your head and give it to Liu Xuande, and teach him to know that my grandson Bofu will take the heart of Jingzhou!! ”

Sun Ce shouted violently, and the sound was like thunder. The soldiers on the left and right came to arrest the Iraqi, and the Iraqi were not afraid of death and stood upright. At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly drank.

"Wait!"

Zhou Yu ordered, and the two Jiangdong soldiers suddenly stopped. Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and asked coldly.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Ants are still stealing life, but they are just mortals, how can they not be afraid!"

"You know, at this time your life is in the hands of my lord. If my Lord gives you a command, you will surely die! ”

"When it is."

"Why do you dare to make a mistake in front of my lord and offend my lord's majesty?"

"It's all because Marquis Wu is unwilling to fight to the death with Uncle Liu Huang, if so, even if Marquis Wu gets Jingzhou, it will also cause a great loss of soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and within three years, it will be attacked and wiped out by Cao Cao's army!!"

Yi Ji said in a condensed voice. Zhou Yu's face became colder and colder, and he asked in a cold voice.

"You are so fluent in answers, but earlier, you have been taught by a master?"

"Most of the governors are like gods. A certain admiration. All the answers I have given are what my military advisors have taught. ”

Zhou Yu secretly said in his heart that this was indeed the case, groaned for a while, and secretly communicated with Sun Ce. After a while, Sun Ce snorted coldly and asked again.

"That Zhuge Kongming is only eight buckets high, and if you are sent to see me today, you must know that I will not be able to withdraw easily. So, how did he teach you how to deal with it? ”

"If the situation is unstable today, Cao Cao is the king, and what his heart is, the world knows it. The military advisor has a saying, the combination of the Sun and Liu families will be beneficial, and the division will be lost, if it is against the enemy, it will be a hundred harms and no benefits! Now we should focus on the overall situation, and the two truces are united, so as to prepare Cao Cao to send troops to the south! ”

"Hmph, Zhuge Kongming thought it well. My Jiangdong son-in-law died under his treacherous scheme, there are tens of thousands, if I am good with this, he will return to Jiangdong one day, how to face the villagers and elders!! ”

Sun Cehu's eyes narrowed into a thin line and shouted coldly. The Iraqi gave up his hand, and then replied.

"The battle of Jingzhou is really Cai Dejun's rebellion. Now that Cai Deqi is dead, Wu Hou has no independent strength to resist Cao Cao, so why be so aggressive.

My lord is willing to cede land and seek peace, and cede the two counties of Jingzhou, Changsha and Guiyang to show respect. Jingzhou is the foundation of Jingsheng, and an inch of land cannot be ceded, and my lord is willing to do so, and it is also important for the overall situation. I also hope that Wu Hou will stop here, if he wants to forcibly seize the land, everything will be over!! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he looked at Zhou Yu. At present, the situation is compelling, it is undoubtedly difficult to take Jiangxia and Nanjun, and as Yi said, the two families of Sun and Liu continue to fight fiercely, and Cao Cao will inevitably take advantage of the situation and annihilate the two families with the general momentum of the male army. As for Jiangdong, Changsha and Guiyang have already had a base in Jingzhou. Jingzhou can be taken in the north, and Shudi can be entered in the west, so that Jiangxia and Nanjun are just icing on the cake, if you want to spend troops and risk it for this, it is really not worth it.

Zhou Yu's mind was racing, and he already had an idea in his heart, but he didn't want to let Yi Yuan succeed so easily, and he made a difficult statement.

"If Liu Qi, the son of Jingzhou's fruit line, occupies it, and Jingzhou returns to orthodoxy, it is not impossible for my lord to accept a truce. I am afraid that Liu Xuande will be secretly manipulated, and all affairs will be decided by Liu Qi, the son of the son. If this is the case, how can my lord, as an important minister of the imperial court, watch the thieves seize power and do evil in Jingzhou, and sit idly by! We will fight to the death until Jingzhou returns to orthodoxy!! ”

Yi seemed to have expected Zhou Yu to have such words, and asked softly.

"The Metropolitan Governor wants to see Gongzi?"

"Yes, too! If Wu Hou and I meet the son Liu Qi and confirm whether Liu Xuande is loyal or traitorous, then there will be a conclusion! ”

Zhou Yu smiled, and Yi Yuan bowed his hand, that is, he said.

"My military advisor expected this to be the case, and recently invited my son to come. The Metropolitan Governor and Wu Hou will prepare, and tomorrow at noon, the prince Liu Qi will wait under the city to receive him. ”

Zhou Yu listened to this, his brows were deeply locked, and he was extremely disgusted with Zhuge Liang in his heart, this person seemed to have everything in the world, and his thoughts and deeds seemed to be in his hands. Zhuge Liang's transcendence made Zhou Yu more and more jealous and hateful.

When he was young, he said goodbye and left. After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu discussed, they dispersed, and the Jiangdong ministers returned separately.

At noon the next day, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led a group of generals, and Ling Tong led 20,000 soldiers and horses to respond behind, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were led by Cheng Pu and guarded in the camp in case of emergency. Sun Ce led himself to ride three hundred fast horses, rushed to the foot of Jiangling City, and set up a formation.
