Chapter 880 - There's no need to speed things up

Sun Quan made a strategic deployment, the most traffic-saving and ad-free site for mobile phones.

But he was still a little hesitant, after all, Cao Shuo was not an ordinary opponent.

The people who are enemies of Cao Shuo have no good end now.

"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu said: "Actually, out of my heart, I also feel that fighting Cao Zirong is a bit risky. ”

"Since Gong Jin thinks so, why do you still encourage me to send troops?" Sun Ce asked.

"If you don't send troops, does Bo Fu think that this big battle can be avoided?" Zhou Yu said: "Yuan Shao's army went south, Cao Cao was anxious, and Cao Zirong returned to Huainan, and his mind was also on the battlefield in Hebei. Taking advantage of the fact that they don't attack the Cao family now, once they gain the upper hand in the war in Hebei, Jiangdong will be in danger. ”

"Gongjin thinks the Cao family will have the upper hand in this war?" Sun Ce asked.

"Not necessarily." Zhou Yu said: "If the Cao family has the upper hand and the Yuan family in Hebei is destroyed, Cao Cao and Cao Zirong's energy will be from the north to the south, and Jingzhou and Jiangdong will bear the brunt. Cao Zirong is also the assassin of Yangzhou in the Han Dynasty, he asked Bo Fu for all parts of Yangzhou, can you not give it? ”

"Why did I give it to him?" Sun Ce said: "The territory that belongs to our Jiangdong must of course be in my hands......"

"If Bo Fu doesn't give it, it's a big rebellion." Zhou Yu said: "If it is given, Jiangdong will no longer have the Yangtze River natural insurance, and the Cao family will take it away, isn't it like exploring the bag and taking things?" If Bo Fu can take His Majesty to Wu County, please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to take away all the fiefs of Cao Zirong and hand them over to the Sun family in Jiangdong, and then it will be Cao Zirong who commits the crime of great rebellion, not Bo Fu. ”

Looking around at the people in the hall, Sun Ce asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I second!" Zhang Zhao was the first to speak.

With Zhang Zhao's statement, everyone did not hesitate anymore and stood up one by one to second.

"Since you all think that war should be declared on the Cao family, then I will declare war." Sun Ce said to Sun Quan: "The strategy was proposed by you, and then you will crusade against the Cao family, and you will be the commander." ”

"Thank you, brother, for making it happen!" was appointed as the main general, Sun Quan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Sun Ce.

"Zhou Tai, Lu Meng." Sun Ce looked at the two generals.

The two stood up.

Although one of them was wearing the general's armor, he was the last in the hall.

He was the later Wuzhong famous general Lu Meng.

The other was tall, more than half a head taller than Lu Meng.

This person's surname is Zhou Mingtai, born in Huainan Xia Cai, since Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he has followed the Jiangdong army to fight everywhere, and has a high prestige in the army.

"You two follow Zhongmou to Shouchun." Sun Ce instructed the two of them.

The two of them received the order, and Sun Ce looked at the other general again: "Tai Shi Ci listens to the order!" ”

Tai Shici, who was about the same size as Zhou Tai, stood up.

"The grain and grass in the army are supervised by you." Sun Ce ordered.

"Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang!" Sun Ce looked at the other generals again.

The three named generals all stood up.

"Cheng Pu is the main general, Huang Gai and Han Dang are the deputy generals, leading the troops to attack Guangling." Sun Ce said: "Be sure to force Guangling to ask Cao Cao for help. ”

Cheng Pu and others received the order.

"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu said: "Guangling Taishou Chen Deng is not a person without ability, I think I should send someone over to be more sure of success?" ”

"Who does Gong Jin think is appropriate?" Sun Ce asked.

"Me!" Zhou Yu said: "I am willing to cooperate with the three generals to break through Guangling!" ”

"If Gong Jin goes, I am willing to be the deputy general, and ask Gong Jin to be the main general." Cheng Pu immediately expressed his position.

"I'm not in charge." Zhou Yu said: "I only want to be a military advisor. ”

"How can that work?" Cheng Pu just wanted to veto, but was stopped by Sun Ce.

"There's nothing wrong with Gong Jin being a military advisor." Sun Ce said: "Several generals and soldiers are all at the disposal of Gong Jin. ”

Sun Ce's words came out, and everyone understood that although Cheng Pu was the main general of the army attacking Guangling, it was Zhou Yu who was really in charge of the military power.

After assigning the task, Sun Ce said to everyone: "Go back and prepare, and the army will go out in three days!" ”

When Sun Ce dispatched his troops to march to Lujiang and Guangling, Cao Shuo had not yet reached Shouchun.

There were still two or three days to go before Shouchun, Ju Yi took his family with him, and Cao Shuo did not urge the team to speed up.

As he was walking, a fast horse came running.

Getting closer and closer, Cao Shuo saw that it was a fire dance on horseback.

When he arrived, Huo Wu reined in his horse, hugged his fists and said to Cao Shuo: "Prince Qiyu, I just got the news that Sun Ce will divide his troops into two routes, one will go to the direction of Guangling in Xuzhou, and the other will go to Lujiang Wancheng. ”

"They're already on their way?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Not yet." Huo Wu replied: "Tai Shici is supervising the grain and grass, and once the grain and grass are ready, the Jiangdong army will advance on all fronts." ”

"Sun Ce can't wait." Cao Shuo waved his hand and motioned for Huo Wu to retreat, and he said to Sima Yi and Pang Tong on the side: "Knowing that I was going to return to Huainan, I also sent troops to make trouble with me. ”

"What are Childe's plans?" Sima Yi asked.

"What else can I plan, the soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." Cao Shuo said: "Since he dares to come to me for trouble, he has already decided to turn his face with me, of course I can't let him live too comfortably." ”

"We still return to Shouchun as soon as possible and prepare as soon as possible." Sima Yi said: "In case Sun Ce really comes, there will be a response." ”

"There's no hurry." Cao Shuo said: "It's not far from Shouchun here, and at this speed, you can reach your destination in two or three days." The Jiangdong army went on the expedition, but it didn't go far for two or three days. ”

Ju Yi on the side listened to the conversation between Cao Shuo and Sima Yi, and knew that Cao Shuo refused to speed up in order to take care of his family.

Ju Yi said: "Zhongda is right, the son should return to Shouchun as soon as possible, and I will come with my family later." ”

"General Ju doesn't have to think about it." Cao Shuo said: "It's not that your family is delaying the trip, there is really no need to rush back quickly." The Jiangdong Army has not yet set out on the expedition, and I should be able to make a strategy to deal with it in the past two days on the road, and I don't necessarily have to rush back. ”

"Childe ......" Ju Yi wanted to say something more.

Cao Shuo waved his hand at him: "The general really doesn't need to think about it, Jiangdong is much weaker than Hebei." I'm not even afraid of Hebei, can I still be afraid of Sun Ce? ”

He said so, and of course Ju Yi didn't want to say anything more.

Pang Tong, Sima Yi and others all knew that Cao Shuo had weighed the pros and cons to make such a decision, and they no longer advised him to speed up.

That night, as soon as it was dark, Cao Shuo ordered the army to be stationed on the spot.

When he dismounted, he said to Pang Tong and Sima Yi: "Shiyuan and Zhongda, when we are set up in camp, you two will come to my tent." ”
