Zhou Yu listed the things that Jin Jue did during the Central Plains period, and said: "This has to start from last year, at first, Yuan Shu suddenly sent troops to attack Xuzhou, preparing to seize Guangling County from Liu Bei first. Liu Bei could only passively lead his troops to fight. At this time, the three forces of Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Liu Bei did not know that they were all actually deceived by Cao Cao's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf.

Compared to Liu Bei, Lu Bu's capricious reputation was his own biggest shortcoming. Tao Qian designated Liu Bei to take over as the assassin of Xuzhou, but he was not recognized by all the local scholars in Xuzhou, so even Liu Bei's own position in Xuzhou was not too stable, not to mention, if at that time, Lu Bu really had to betray his word and take the opportunity to take Xuzhou, how could most of the scholars in Xuzhou be attributed to him.

If Cao Cao's plan really succeeded, then, after that, if he wanted to send troops to attack again and seize the whole of Xuzhou, he would encounter less resistance. At the same time, it can also minimize the bad impact of his first attack on Xuzhou, killing people and slaughtering the city at every turn. No matter how much the people hate Cao Cao, what is the use, as long as the Xuzhou scholars take the initiative to surrender to Cao Cao, whether it is Liu Bei or Xuzhou under the control of Lu Bu, they will not be able to stop Cao Jun for too long.

The turning point came to the Jin Jue brothers.

At that time, the Jin Jue brothers suddenly appeared in Xiaopeicheng, which completely changed the situation in the entire Xuzhou.

I don't know why, Jin Jue really persuaded Lu Bu, he not only asked Lu Bu to take the initiative to give up the fat that had been sent to his mouth - the whole of Xuzhou, and then, Lu Bu was also unusual, he was willing to send troops to assist Liu Bei, and defeated Yuan Shu in the first battle and killed his general Ji Ling. It can be said that this battle established Liu Bei's position in Xuzhou.

Lü Bu suddenly sent troops to attack Yanzhou, then entered Luoyang, met the Son of Heaven, and then captured Hedong County. It is said that at this time, Lü Bu should immediately march to seize the state. With the ability of Gao Gan, he would definitely not be able to resist the attack of Lu Bu's army, but if Lu Bu did this, it would inevitably cause Yuan Shao to attack on a large scale.

The wonderful thing is that after Lu Bu captured Hedong County, he actually lurked.

After that, you must know what happened to you. Let's put it this way, the reason why the various forces in the entire Central Plains have formed this state of staggered anxiety is all the result of Jin Jue's own planning. And he has only one purpose, to greatly weaken the two most powerful and at the same time the most likely to seize the world - Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

This is not counted, other small forces, for example, Zhang Xiu, the Nanyang force that has been wavering, it is reported that Cao Cao sent an envoy to make it clear that Cao Cao himself is willing to accept Zhang Xiu's surrender regardless of the revenge of killing his son; and the unexpectedly unexpectedly recent actions of the Taishan thief Zang Ba and others, who are also wavering. By the way, there is also the Jin Yun in the east of Runan County, and Liu Ye in the south.

Why, Bo Fu, do you think my words are too exaggerated? ”

Sun Ce was actually felt his blood boiling by Zhou Yu's words, but he touched his nose and asked with some disbelief: "Eh, Gongjin, is that kid really as mysterious as you say?" ”

"Hehe, no, there are many things that Jin Jue has done, and there are many things that I haven't found out yet. For example, how did he capture Hanzhong County in such a short period of time. The news of Jin Jue's capture of Hanzhong County did not reach Jiangdong, but Zhou Yu had confirmed the news from the third new list, and he firmly believed in his judgment.

"Gong Jin, according to what you say, Lone's next step is to take the initiative to unite with Cao Cao and attack Xuzhou!" Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's choice, and he asked in confirmation.

"Not bad!" Zhou Yu nodded and replied, "However, Bo Fu, uncle's great revenge cannot be avenged." Therefore, I suggest that you should stay in Danyang County during this time, concentrate on training your troops, and wait for an opportunity to recapture Jiujiang County and the southern part of Lujiang County. As for Cao Cao, there is one thing you have to keep in mind, even if you contact him, but the person who first sent troops to attack Xuzhou must be him.

If Cao Cao has been unwilling to send troops, you can concentrate on recapturing the entire county of Lujiang County and the counties along the river in Jiujiang County, and you don't have to fight Liu Beijun to the death.

And I secretly concentrated on training an elite army in Wuchang County. Compared to you, I am just a nobody in the eyes of Huang Zu. You and I took it for a year, and a year later, you quietly led troops from Wu County to come here, and together with me, you raised troops to attack Jiangxia County, striving to kill two birds with one stone, not only avenging your uncle, but also cutting off a piece of meat from Liu Biao's body. How is it? ”

Zhou Yu was also not polite, his meaning was obvious, that is, he directly asked Sun Ce for the position of the Taishou of Yuzhang County.

"Good! That's it. Sun Ce couldn't be stingy either, and replied immediately.

Sun Ce knew Zhou Yu's talent better than anyone else, and of course he had to send the traverser Jin Jue, so after listening to Zhou Yu's suggestion, he didn't think about it for too long, so he agreed to Zhou Yu's request, which seemed to be a bit excessive in the eyes of Sun Ce's generals.

Next, Sun Ce's order immediately overturned his original plan.

First of all, the Taishou of Danyang County is still served by his uncle Wu Jing, and the Taishou of Wujun is still Zhu Zhi.

Secondly, Zhou Yu was appointed as the Taishou of Yuzhang, and Yuzhang County was divided into Luling County, with Sun Fu as the Taishou of Luling

Again, Sun Ben was appointed as the Taishou of Lujiang and stationed in Anhui County controlled by Sun Cejun.

Sun Benzi Boyang is the son of Sun Jian's half-brother Sun Qiang, the cousin of Sun Ce and Sun Quan, and the elder brother of Sun Fu, the new Luling Taishou.

In the end, Sun Ce took Pengcheng Zhang Zhao, Guangling Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Chen Duan and others as the masterminds, left Yuzhang County to Zhou Yu, and led his troops to return to Danyang County immediately.

After returning to Danyang County, Sun Ce immediately sent an envoy to Xudu again, and carried Huaxin's coffin to Xudu together, pilgrimage to the Han Emperor, and tribute gifts to the imperial court.

This is a request made by Hua Xin's bereaved family, and since Hua Xin's people are dead, it doesn't make much sense for Sun Ce to continue to force his family to stay.

This time, Sun Ce offered a gift to the Han court, which was twice the size of the first year of Jian'an.

Of course, Sun Ce sent an envoy to the imperial court this time, the first thing was to seek a higher title of general and the history of Yangzhou Thorn, and even Yangzhou Mu.

The second is to join Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou.

Cao Cao was both surprised and a little happy to learn that Sun Ce had actually taken the entire Jiangnan region now, and he and Sun Ce hit it off in their attitude towards Liu Bei.

Therefore, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an order to officially canonize Sun Ce as the assassin of Yangzhou, rebel against the general, and canonize him as the Marquis of Wu.
