It was indeed unexpected that Cao Ang would lend grain to Zhang Yu, Sun Ce didn't expect it, and Zhang Yu didn't expect it either.

What he thought was that Sun Ce might lend him a little, but Cao Ang didn't have to, but Sun Ce didn't borrow it, Cao Ang borrowed it, and he borrowed a lot.

Zhang Yu was stunned when he received the news, he didn't understand, and then he simply didn't want to, anyway, borrowing it is not a bad thing.

But Sun Ce's reaction was different.

He had sent a letter to Cao Ang before, proposing to unite against Zhang Yu.

Originally, among the three parties, Sun Ce was at a disadvantage, but now he has let others seize the opportunity.

"Gong Jin, three uncles, how is this good." Sun Ce sat on the top, holding the information in his hand and said.

Zhou Yu's brows tightened, and the three veterans looked worried.

Zhou Yu was also very surprised by this news, judging from the time, the letter of their joint resistance to Zhang Yu had not yet reached Cao Angna, and Cao Ang made a decision.

This news is very confusing, and Zhou Yu can't analyze that this Cao Ang has actually calculated them.

"Bo Fu, uniting Cao Cao against Zhang Yu is our way of survival, if we want to keep this large area, so that Zhang Yu does not dare to act rashly, we can only unite with Cao Cao." Zhou Yu said again.

They are across the Yangtze River, and a large area connecting Danyang County is next to Zhang Yu.

In such a large place, their troops are not very sufficient, and if they start a war, they are not sure to keep these places, not to mention that there is Cai Mao to cooperate with him in the west.

"Gongjin, what is your suggestion?"

"I'm going to talk to Cao Ang and win him over, but I'm afraid it will cost me a lot." Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce thought about it and agreed, they were indeed not Zhang Yu's opponents now.

If it is not Zhang Yu's opponent, then it can only be united, and Sun Ce has no other way.

If a triangular relationship can be formed here, it may be possible to buy Sun Ce time.

Zhang Yu didn't know about the confrontation between the two of them, and he was still struggling with various problems.

After Cao Ang agreed to borrow grain, Zhang Yu immediately sent someone to pick up and bring the grain back.

After that, a large number of displaced people were organized to go back, and at the same time, more forces were organized on the Jiangdong side to respond.

It's all going on at a fast pace.

Zhang Yu predicts that one million displaced people can be organized to go back, and if these displaced people are transported to Kyushu, then Guo Jia's problem can be solved.

Within a few days, Zhou Yu went to reach an agreement with Cao Ang, the content of the agreement was very simple, one was how much Sun Ce would compensate Cao Ang, and the other was that after the end of the war, the two would jointly ensure the stability of the region.

To put it bluntly, if Zhang Yu wants to attack someone, they will unite.

As for the two joint attacks on Zhang Yu, none of them thought that attack was different from defense.

When defending, the two families have common interests, and when attacking, the two families cannot trust each other, in case they trap each other, and then divide him, this is entirely possible.

And at this time, Yuan Shu also made a move, he was ready to break through at any time.

In Shouchun City, Yang Hong received the news and hurriedly entered the "palace".

Yang Hong held the letter he received tightly in his hand.

Walk quickly to the main hall and be allowed to enter after the prayer.

"Your Majesty, there is news, Yuan Shao has news." Yang Hong said.

Yuan Shu sat on the dragon chair he had made himself, and suddenly came to his senses.

"Say it quickly."

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao agreed to send a large army to respond, but we have to break into the border by ourselves, and Yuan Shao emphasized that we must give him the jade seal of the country when we make contact." Yang Hong said.

"This Yuan Benchu knew that he coveted my heirloom jade seal." Yuan Shu said angrily when he heard it.

Yang Hong didn't dare to speak, at this time Yuan Shu was still thinking about his heirloom jade seal.

"Break through when you're ready." Yuan Shu said again.

Yuan Shu already understood that Shouchun couldn't hold on, and it was the best choice to take refuge in Yuan Shao.

It's all the Yuan family, and the face won't be too ugly, and at the same time, Yuan Shao won't at least do anything to him for the sake of his reputation, and the glory and wealth can still be kept.

Yang Hong got Yuan Shu's will and hurried to arrange it.

A day later, Yang Hong came to Yuan Shu again.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready, you can break out immediately." Yang Hong said.

Yuan Shu was wearing a dragon robe and a hat, and he was dressed very rigorously.

"Okay, let's break through."

This time, Yuan Shu chose to break through in the evening.

In Shouchun City, the army is lined up, but the military appearance is not very rigorous.

There was not much sparkle on the soldier's face.

Led by Ji Ling, the hundred generals of the Yuan army lined up to wait for Yuan Shu's order.

Eight sedan chairs carried Yuan Shu out of the palace, and Yuan Shu tested his army like a military parade.

Following Yuan Shu, there were more than 100 palace female eunuchs, and then 100 officials.

Yuan Shupu is enough, and everything is in accordance with the emperor's etiquette.

Yuan Shu obviously didn't have much mind to do any mobilization, and after a few simple words, he ordered Ji Ling to arrange it.

Ji Ling explained to the generals, and then asked them to go back and bring their own soldiers and horses.

As soon as the appointed time came, Ji Ling ordered: "Open the city gate." ”

The drums of war sounded, the flags were waved, and the four gates opened almost simultaneously.

Ji Ling took the lead and rushed out with the army.

The two soldiers and horses in the middle immediately closed and surrounded Yuan Shu and the hundred officials to protect them from the city.

Outside the city, Cao Ang ordered a retreat.

"Yuan Shu is not enough, our primary goal is to occupy Shouchun City, control Shouchun City, block Zhang Yu's troops, so that Zhang Yu will not be able to attack our side in the future." Cao Ang said.

Yuan Shu would break through, which they had long expected.

However, Cao Ang's strategic goals have long since changed.

Their target is Shouchun City, and if Yuan Shu leaves, they can control Shouchun City, and there won't be too many accidents in between.

If Shouchun City is blocked, Yuan Shu can't get out, and finally attacked, and when Sun Ce and Zhang Yu join in, what will happen to the situation in the end cannot be controlled.

Now that Yuan Shu is going to escape, this hundreds of miles away, there is an opportunity to hunt him down.

"Eldest prince, if this Yuan Shu wants to run, let him run well, although if he really takes refuge in Yuan Shao, it will cause us a lot of trouble, but if we don't occupy Shouchun City as soon as possible, the trouble will be even greater." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Jun retreated again and again, without any intention of attacking, which made Yuan Shu very happy.

"Hmph, 500,000 troops, if you dare to attack, I am not a vegetarian." Yuan Shu seemed to have regained some self-confidence and said disdainfully.

The expected battle did not happen, and Yuan Shu went out of the city very smoothly.

Three hours later, the rear army left Shouchun Shili.

"It's not good, Yuan Jun actually set fire."

At this time, a fire broke out in Shouchun City, and Cao Ang and the others had just rushed outside Shouchun City.

"Hurry up and put out the fire." Cao Ang didn't expect this Yuan Shu to be so mad that he actually ordered arson.

This is also one of Yuan Shu's arrangements, and after they leave, they will set fire, so that the enemy army will not care about pursuit.
