At this time, Zhang Yu also mentioned the grievances with Liu Biao, and there will definitely be many people who don't understand.

But Guo Jia understood that this was planned by Zhang Yu a long time ago.

In order to make Cai Maoshi famous.

Sun Ce chased and killed Yuan Shu, chased all the way to the vicinity of Hefei City, and then came back complacently.

Sun Ce couldn't be unexpected, he was young and frivolous, and he used his inferior forces to turn the tide, and finally broke the overall situation.

It had been seven or eight days since Sun Ce returned to Anhui County, and at this time Anhui County was already an empty city, and there were no ordinary people except their soldiers.

However, more than 200,000 people are no longer very important to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was very happy when he came back and called Zhou Yu and several veterans together.

"This time, we were able to win a big victory thanks to the concerted efforts of all of you, especially Gong Jin's strategy, which is simply a stroke of genius, and even Zhang Yu has to work hard for us." Sun Ce said proudly.

Sun Ce was proud and then asked, "Now that Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are under our control, what do you think?" ”

Seeing Sun Ce so proud, Zhou Yu didn't pour cold water on him, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

Zhou Yu suggested loudly: "Bo Fu, we control Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, the two big lakes are connected by the Yangtze River water system, and it is convenient to come and go, what we have to do is to build a large number of ships, not only merchant ships, but also war ships." ”

Sun Ce nodded and said yes, how the two big lakes are connected by boats, it is convenient to come and go, and it has a very big effect.

However, Huang Gai said: "Eldest prince, this shipbuilding is not cheap at all, I heard that Zhang Yu is very good at shipbuilding, why don't we buy some from him, so that it can be put into use quickly." ”

Zhou Yu also agreed to buy it, after all, it would take several months to build it himself, from gathering craftsmen, building the site, to building the ship.

They have seen Zhang Yu's big ship, but they can't build it.

Sun Ce groaned and said, "It's a pity that Zhang Yu never built a warship, and I just offended him, I don't know if he will sell it to us." ”

Zhou Yu sighed and said: "Bo Fu, according to Zhang Yu's character, he will definitely earn this money, but he will return sooner or later if he has a grudge against us, and in addition, we already owe Zhang Yu more than 100 million dollars." ”

Sun Ce was not worried at all, he smiled and said: "This time we occupy so many places, we can still make up for it, give him a part first, and try to promote marriage, marry Shang Xiang to Zhang Yu, and everything will be easy to discuss at that time." ”

Sun Ce's indifferent look, Zhou Yu was worried.

But it hasn't happened yet, so there will be a way to do it then.

At present, the most important thing is to recruit troops and expand strength.

Occupying such a large territory, the army has lost about 100,000, and this Sun Ce naturally wants to recover his strength as soon as possible.

The other is to continue to attack Yuan Shu, taking advantage of Yuan Shu's weakness now, to knock down several county towns leading to Poyang Lake and block all roads.

Sun Ce and the others quickly began to arrange, planning to expand rapidly and recruit a large number of soldiers and horses.

And Zhang Yu's fast horse continued to spread the news along the gallop road.

"I heard that Zhang Yu is really coming to suppress the bandits."

"Isn't he fighting with Yuan Shu? Why do you suddenly want to suppress bandits? ”

"Which one is this chapter feather singing?"

Many people don't understand, but soon some people understand.

As soon as the news was sent to Jingzhou, Cai Mao in Jingzhou immediately reacted "strongly".

"We in Jingzhou have the ability to suppress bandits, and we don't have to work hard for Zhang Yu."

"I, Jingzhou, immediately raised 100,000 troops and went to Dongting Lake to suppress bandits."

Go to Dongting Lake to suppress bandits? To go there to suppress any bandits, it is obviously to copy Sun Ce's back road.

Cai Mao's action was very fast, because he had already prepared, and even tens of thousands of sailors were already waiting, and as soon as he gave the order, he immediately began to act.

Cai Mao's reaction amazed many people in Jingzhou.

"General Cai really has a backbone."

"Cai Mao is from Jingzhou no matter what he says, and he supports him."

"Don't you think it's a little strange to send troops this time?"

Cai Mao's actions were discussed with Liu Biao before, so Cai Mao didn't even ask for instructions.

Liu Biao had agreed with Cai Mao's approach before, so he directly sent troops down the Yangtze River.

At this time, Liu Biao reacted, it turned out that this was a double reed sung by Zhang Yu and Cai Mao.

But there is no way, it is impossible for Liu Biao to recruit Cai Mao's soldiers and horses back at this time.

Cai Mao did not only do this, he used chicken feathers as arrows, and this army always asked for money, food, grass and other materials.

If you can get it, Cai Mao will receive it directly, and she will also go to other counties to mobilize it, anyway, she is using this opportunity to seize more resources in her own hands.

Many counties have been infiltrated by Cai Mao, and they are their own people, and the transfer of materials from them seems to be very smooth.

After that, these people don't want to come to Cai Mao, Cai Mao has a big fist and uses it properly, who can do anything to him.

The most important thing is that Cai Mao took the opportunity to meddle in the military power of the army, he requisitioned some soldiers and horses of the army, and when the soldiers and horses were transferred to his command, he would naturally go through a purge and replace his generals.

Through an action, even if you go out for a walk and come back, the benefits are all taken up by Cai Mao.

But when it's time to work, you still have to work.

A few days later, Cai Mao appeared on Dongting Lake, and he immediately ordered an attack.

Of course, it was not the bandits who attacked, but some of Sun Ce's strongholds on the edge of Dongting Lake.

Cai Mao unplugged many places of Sun Ce on Dongting Lake in a row, causing Sun Ce and them to suffer great losses.

At the same time, Cai Mao ordered the navy of Jiangxiakou to directly cut off the Yangtze River, and no ships could pass except for his own ships and Zhang Yu's ships, which made Sun Ce, who wanted to use the Yangtze River waterway to communicate the two lakes, unable to do so immediately.

When Cai Mao appeared on Dongting Lake, Sun Ce also received the news.

"Damn Cai Mao, I actually went to Dongting Lake at this time." Sun Ce was angry and anxious, and immediately gathered his subordinates.

"A few uncles, Gong Jin, this Cai Mao is here for us, what can you do?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu said: "Through various indications, Cai Mao's actions are coordinated with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu just said that he was going to Jingzhou to suppress bandits, so Cai Mao used this excuse to send troops, and you can know that Zhang Yu has no action at all, these two are singing double reeds." ”

"Zhang Yu is taking revenge on me." Sun Ce said.

Sun Ce was right, but only half right, revenge on him was certain, but he also wanted Sun Ce to be unable to attack Yuan Shu again.

Sun Ce and the others discussed for a long time, and finally decided to withdraw to protect Dongting Lake and Changsha.

He asked Zhou Yu to bring 50,000 soldiers and horses to defend and develop Poyang Lake, while he rushed back with other troops.

At present, as long as Zhang Yu does not attack them and Yuan Shu has no strength for the time being, then they are safe.

Sun Ce was extremely aggrieved in his heart, and could have continued to attack Yuan Shu and blocked all the passages leading to Poyang Lake by Yuan Shu.
