Zhou Yu walked into the big tent of the Chinese army.

Sun Jian sat in front of the desk, smiling. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and beckoned, "Gong Jin, you came just in time." Bo Fu has just sent good news, he has already beheaded Xiahou Yuan, completely annihilated 3,000 enemy troops, Han Yigong is holding the captured and captured banner, at most tomorrow morning will arrive. ”

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly took over the military report. He knew that Sun Ce would win this battle, Sun Jian not only gave him twice as many elites as his opponents, but also let Han Dang and Huang Gai cooperate with the two experienced generals, plus Huang Zhong, who had just shown his prominence, it was not difficult to defeat Xiahou Yuan, but it was not difficult to defeat Xiahou Yuan, but to kill the opponent's main general and annihilate the opponent, this battle was won cleanly and neatly, very beautiful, not everyone can do it.

After reading the military report, Zhou Yu was also happy for Sun Ce. Judging from the military report, there is no problem with command, although it is a bit of a child's play to subdue the opponent's warriors in battle, it is also in line with the temperament of the Sun family's father and son. It was precisely because Sun Ce captured Dian Wei that he forced Zhao Pet to surrender without a fight, and it also gave Sun Ce enough time to support Huang Zhong and surround Xiahou Yuan, resulting in total annihilation.

Zhou Yu didn't fully agree with Sun Ce's approach, but he thought that if he replaced him, he might not be able to get such brilliant results.

"General, the tiger father has no dog son, and Bofu fights with the style of a general." General Zhou Yu returned it to Sun Jian, and quietly praised it, pushing Sun Ce's credit onto Sun Jian's head. Sun Ce's fame in a war is a good thing, so it arouses Sun Jian's suspicion, and the father and son are suspicious, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Sun Jian laughed. "The afterlife is terrifying, and I believe that you are no weaker than Bo Fu. Gong Jin, I have seen your deployment of attacking the city today, and you are worthy of being a child of the family, which is remarkable. ”

"The general has won the award, it is the general who has taught well, and several captains and Simas are experienced and cooperate well." Zhou Yu hurriedly said a few polite words. Sun Jian asked him to command the siege instead of Sun Ce, and most of the day was spent preparing for the siege, all he had to do was to deploy the battalions in place and perform their duties, and there was no real battle yet. Whether he can successfully conquer Xiangyang, he is not sure.

Siege is different from field warfare, even if he has already observed the whole process of Sun Jian's command of the attack on Fancheng. Sun Ce's big victory also raised the bar for him to some extent, and if he did too badly, he wouldn't be laughed at.

A fire rose in Zhou Yu's heart.

Sun Jian was very excited, and sighed again, only then did he put away his smile and changed his words. "Gong Jin, Xiahou Yuan's army has been wiped out, but Cao Cao is still in Nanyang. You say, should we rush to Wancheng's aid? ”

Zhou Yu knew it. No matter how Sun Jian regarded him as a cronie, it was impossible for him to specifically call him to listen to Sun Ce's achievements. Cao Cao suddenly appeared in Nanyang, whether to rush to Wancheng, this is Sun Jian's most concerned question. Sun Jian's hesitation shows that he has a knot in mind for Yuan Shu, and he is not the one who seems to be inseparable from the outside. But this is a good thing, all along, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have always been most worried about Sun Jian being confined to righteousness and being too dead to Yuan Shu.

Everyone can see that Yuan Shu is not Yuan Shao's opponent, nor is he a Ming Jun.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, raised his head, and his eyes were clear. "General, in the news from Nanyang, did you mention that you want the general to come back?"

Sun Jian shook his head. Yuan Shu sent someone to bring him news, but only told him that Cao Cao had entered the country, but did not ask him to return to Wancheng. It is precisely because of this that he is not sure about it, and he wants Zhou Yu to come to the counselor.

"The general is in charge of the troops, although he can not be subject to the king's order, but Wancheng is stronger than Xiangyang, the rear general has more troops than the general, and Cao Cao is a lone army deep, in the case of the vanguard's annihilation, can he break through Wancheng?"

Sun Jian let out a breath and stopped talking. Seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "Does the general have other worries?" ”

Sun Jian stood up, put his hands behind his back, and went back and forth in the tent twice, and finally stood still in front of the map. "Gong Jin, Cao Cao has traveled with General Hou for many years, and he is very clear about General Hou's temper. If Cao Cao wasn't sure, he wouldn't have taken such a risk. ”

Zhou Yu chuckled in his heart. When he and Sun Ce discussed the world's major affairs, he felt that Sun Ce attached great importance to Cao Cao. He agrees with many of Sun Ce's views, but he does not dare to agree with this. So far, except for Guanghe's first year to assist Huangfu Song to pacify the Yingchuan Yellow Turban, Cao Cao has not mentioned the record. Sun Ce hadn't seen him again, so why did he think that Cao Cao had the ability to be a soldier, and he was so highly evaluated?

Now hearing Sun Jian say this, Zhou Yu suddenly understood a little. Sun Ce's views are likely to come from Sun Jian. Sun Jian was the only general to have a winning record in the battle against Dong, and he said that Cao Cao had strength and should not make something out of nothing.

"General, what do you think Cao Cao will do?"

"Lure the queen general out of the city." Sun Jian turned around, his eyes flickering. "General Hou and Yuan Benchu did not agree, and he was still chivalrous, and he couldn't be wronged in his life. Cao Cao knew this very well. If he deliberately provokes the rear general, and the latter general goes out of the city to fight in a rage, I am worried about ......"

Sun Jian didn't continue, but Zhou Yu understood. Cao Cao had no chance of winning the siege, but if he stimulated Yuan Shu to go out of the city to fight, it would be difficult to say what the result would be. Cao Cao was defeated in Xingyang, but he faced the Xiliang soldiers, who were known for their bravery, and the other party's general was Xu Rong, a famous general of the Western Liang Army - Sun Ce mentioned this person many times, Cao Cao's defeat did not mean that his strength was not good, it could only be said that he was unlucky.

You must know that Sun Jian was also defeated by Xu Rong.

On the other hand, Yuan Shu and those people around him, which one has experience in leading troops into battle? If Yuan Shu really went out of the city to fight Cao Cao, the result would be unimaginable. If the losses were too large and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to occupy Wancheng, Sun Ce's plan might have failed.

Zhou Yu quickly weighed it and shook his head resolutely. "I still don't approve of the general's rush to Wancheng."

Sun Jian didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Yu with burning eyes.

"First, this is just the general's speculation, and the general may not be defeated, and the plan may not be defeated; Second, Xiangyang has a great relationship, and now everything is ready, it is a pity to give up; Third, Bo Fu had just completely annihilated Xiahou Yuan, and the general could return to help at any time, and it was not yet known whether Cao Cao still had the confidence to stay outside Wancheng. If the general arrived, but Cao Cao had already withdrawn, and the latter general had not been defeated, wouldn't the general have disobeyed the order of the latter general and lost the opportunity to conquer Xiangyang in vain? I'm afraid someone will slander the general because of this. General, you must not be on guard. ”

Sun Jian bowed slightly. It was precisely because he considered this possibility that he was unsure and sent someone to invite Zhou Yu to discuss.

"So, what do I do?"

"The general sent a report to the general, telling him that Cao Cao couldn't stay for a long time, and that he should not be impatient, and wait for the general's military order."

Sun Jian pondered for a long time, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Gong Jin, you come to write this military newspaper."
