The Sun family's army was slow to launch an attack on Guiyang.

Zhao Fan saw an opportunity and sent people out of the city to contact Pang Tong and others, asking the army to enter the city.

Pang Tong and the others had already joined forces at this time.

After seeing Zhao Fan's envoys, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Cheng Yu got together to discuss whether they should enter the city.

"I don't think I should go into town." Pang Tong said to the two of them: "The army is stationed outside the city, forming a horn with Guiyang City, and the enemy army cannot find the opportunity to attack. ”

"Shi Yuan is right." Xu Shu said: "It's better to reject Zhao Fan......"

"I think we should send a team of men into Guiyang." Cheng Yu said: "Not long after Zhao Fan joined Cao Gong, he did not have any loyalty to the Cao family. If no one goes to control it, it won't work. ”

"Who entered Guiyang?" Pang Tong smiled slightly and asked Cheng Yu.

"I proposed that I should enter Guiyang, of course it is not appropriate to go again, otherwise we will definitely be suspicious of each other." Cheng Yu said: "Why don't Shi Yuan lead the troops in?" ”

"I also think it's appropriate for Shiyuan to lead the troops in." Xu Shu said: "There are me and Cheng Gong outside the city, and the enemy army can't find any opportunity. ”

Pang Tong said: "Since both of them think that it is suitable for me to enter Guiyang, then I will not give in." ”

After the servants discussed, Cheng Yu shouted outside the tent: "Invite the envoy of Zhao Fujun." ”

A moment later, the guard brought Zhao Fan's messenger.

After greeting the servants, the envoy asked, "Dare to ask the three generals, do you want to enter Guiyang?" ”

"We discussed it just now." Pang Tong said: "The enemy army is besieging the city, and if the army enters the city, it will cut off its own back road. But Guiyang is important, and he can't help it. ”

When he heard that entering the city was cutting himself off, the messenger was disappointed.

But when he heard Pang Tong say that Guiyang was important and couldn't go, his face suddenly showed joy again.

"Dare to ask how the three generals decide?" The messenger asked.

"I'll go." Pang Tong said: "Xu Gong and Cheng Gong led the army to confront the enemy outside the city, so that Guiyang and the reinforcements outside the city formed horns with each other, even if Zhou Yu and Lu Xun had the ability to reach the sky, it was impossible to take it." ”

"I'll go back to the city and pay my respects to the king." The messenger hurriedly answered.

After the envoy retreated, Pang Tong also stood up and said to Cheng Yu and Xu Shu: "Cheng Gong, Yuan Zhi, I will lead the troops first." ”

Pang Tong led 10,000 soldiers and horses to approach the gate of Guiyang.

Cheng Yu and Xu Shu immediately led their troops forward and blocked between the city and the Sun family's army.

Cao Jun made a move, and soon attracted the attention of Zhou Yu and Lu Xun.

The two of them came to the front of the barracks and looked at Cao Jun who was close to Guiyang.

"If the enemy army enters the city, it will cut off its own way." Zhou Yu said: "If that is the case, as long as our army surrounds Guiyang, it will take less than three months, and Cao's army will be broken." ”

"But I don't think they're all going to go into the city." Lu Xun said: "If Cao's army leaves a group of soldiers and horses outside the city to intercept our army, it will only send a small number of soldiers and horses into the city. Not only will we not be able to break through Gyeyang, but even if we fight the enemy forces outside the city, we will be tied down because we are worried about the rush from inside the city. ”

glanced at Lu Xun, and Zhou Yu didn't say anything.

Some of Cao's troops in the distance had already begun to enter the city, while more Cao's soldiers were still waiting outside the city.

Zhou Yu and Lu Xun looked forward to Cao Jun entering the city.

However, the reality always disappoints.

It was only the Cao army that entered the city, and most of the Cao army remained outside the city.

When the gate of Guiyang was slowly closed, the Cao army outside the city was still waiting, and Zhou Yu knew that this battle was not to be fought.

"Metropolitan Governor......" Lu Xun lowered his voice and wanted to say something.

Before he could say anything, Zhou Yu stopped: "I know." ”

Pang Tong led the army into Guiyang.

Cheng Yu and Xu Shu led their troops to confront the Sun family's army outside the city.

Looking at the Sun family's army, Xu Shu asked Cheng Yu: "After repelling the enemy army, does Chenggong have any opinion on Guiyang?" ”

"What do you think?" Cheng Yu asked Xu Shu.

"Guiyang is too guarded by Zhao Fan, but he is not from the Cao family." Xu Shu said: "Cheng Gong is really relieved to hand over this place to him?" ”

"What else else?" Cheng Yu said: "Kill him or drive him away and replace him with someone else?" ”

"Cheng Gong thinks it's inappropriate?" Xu Shu asked.

"It's not inappropriate." Cheng Yu said: "It's just that I can't. ”

"Please also ask Cheng Gong to mention something." Xu Shu arched his hand at him and asked, "Why can't you?" ”

"Zhao Fan is not the descendant of Duke Cao, how many are there in the entire Jingzhou?" Cheng Yu said: "If you move him, I'm afraid the whole Jingzhou will be reversed." ”

"It's still Cheng Gong who thinks about it." Xu Shu grinned: "I'm just used to Gongzi's way of doing things, and I haven't adapted too much to Cao Gong, so Cheng Gong smiled." ”

"What kind of way does Childe do things?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Childe has won several states, and not a single former official has been left." Xu Shu said: "Those officials were all brought into Shouchun by him, and gave them some idle jobs that were not painful or itchy. All states and counties are now sons, and they don't have to worry about being dug up in their backyards. ”

"When Childe did this, didn't anyone object?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Of course there are objections." Xu Shu said with a smile: "But Cheng Gong thinks that Gongzi cares about whose opposition?" ”

Asked by Xu Shu, Cheng Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "With the temperament of the son, it seems that he really doesn't care about anyone's voice." ”

"It's not that I don't care." Xu Shu said: "If it is beneficial to the son, he will most likely listen." If it doesn't do him any good, he will never pay attention to it. ”

"Yuan Zhi has always followed Childe, and of course he knows more about him." Cheng Yu smiled slightly: "It's a pity that Cao Gongren is different from Gongzi." But most of those who are willing to serve Cao Gong will stay in their original positions. ”

"It's not appropriate for the two of us to talk more about the matter of Cao Gong and Gongzi here." Xu Shu said: "The most important thing to pay attention to at the moment is the movement of the Sun family. ”

Looking at the Sun family's camp in the distance, Cheng Yu said: "I feel that Zhou Yu and Lu Xun should be about to retreat." ”

"If I were either of them, I would have thought of quitting." Xu Shu said: "Although there are many of them, they are all rabble, and they are not much better than the yellow scarves of the year. With these horses, it is impossible to break through Guiyang, and staying here is just a waste of food and grass. It is better to bring the soldiers and horses back, train for a year and a half, and then attack Jingzhou or Yangzhou. The odds will be better then. ”

Cheng Yu stroked his beard and nodded, and instructed the guards on the side: "Pass the order down and pay close attention to the enemy's movements." Especially at night, if the enemy army has the slightest movement, he immediately reported it to me and Xu Gongyu. ”

Xu Shu and Cheng Yu had already guessed that the Sun family's army might withdraw.

Cao Jun's scouts were watching Sun Jun's movements at any time.

That night, Zhou Yu called Lu Xun to the Shuai tent.
