When Sun Setun set up Chaisang, he recuperated and recuperated, intending to attack Jiangxia again and kill Huang Zu, which meant revenge for Sun Jian. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoNo matter how prejudiced he is against Sun Jian, the people who should be killed still have to be killed, otherwise how to stabilize the hearts of Jiangdong people?

Not only that, Liu Biao, who lost Jiangxia, is like losing an arm, and taking Jingzhou is just around the corner. At that time, Jing and Yang were all under Sun Ce's control, and it would be enough to compete with Cao Cao.

"Bo Fu, I heard that you asked Lu Xun to go to Xuchang to persuade Xun Gang to marry, but why?"

Sun Ce was ordering troops in the barracks, and Zhou Yu suddenly entered the account, it turned out that Sun Ce had sent Lu Xun to make peace with his relatives, and it was his own decision, and he didn't discuss it with everyone under his command at all. And Zhou Yu only learned from Zhou Tai's boss not long ago, so he hurriedly came to find Sun Ce.

Sun Ce saw that it was Zhou Yu, and he didn't hide it: "Yes, I sent Boyan to contact Xun Gang and make peace, first, to enhance the relationship between the two families, and secondly, to form an alliance with the first person under Cao Cao's command, paralyzing Cao Cao, and making him ignore my Jiangdong military operations and concentrate on the north and west strategies." ”

"In this way, you only need to ally with Cao Cao, why do you need to marry Xun Gang, it's really too much!" Zhou Yu reprimanded, "What if Cao Cao is dissatisfied and uses troops against my Jiangdong in advance?" ”

Sun Ce didn't panic at all, and said slowly: "I ordered Lu Xun to state his interests to Cao Cao, saying that he intends to form an alliance with Cao Cao, but if he can, he hopes to marry Shang Xiang to Xun Gang; If Cao Cao is unwilling, the matter will be discussed again. ”

Zhou Yu was a little helpless, Sun Ce had not been bent on going his own way for a day or two, and now he could only silently pray that Cao Cao would not use this to get angry......

"But......" Sun Ce's brows suddenly frowned, "Some time ago, Ri Boyan suddenly wrote a letter, saying that Mrs. Xun Gang is very strict and is not willing to make peace with us, and I am quite distressed now...... I finally persuaded my mother, but now Xun Gang refuses to do this, which makes me quite distressed......"

"Xun Gang refused? What about Lu Xun? ”

For Zhou Yu, Xun Gang's rejection of harmony does not seem to be the most important thing; He already knew Lu Xun's talents, but he hadn't had time to recommend them to Sun Ce yet. Now Lu Xun was sent out by Sun Ce, but he has already received Xun Gang's reply, why hasn't he come back yet?

Sun Ce was quite unimpressed: "Oh, Bo Yan said that he was left in Beijing to report on his work, and he is willing to serve our army, so he should still be in Xuchang now......

"Oh, Bo Fu, you've done something stupid!" Zhou Yu complained bitterly, and angrily accused Sun Ce, "Bo Yan's talent is not inferior to me, now he is just inexperienced, you let him stay in Xuchang, isn't it cheaper for Cao Cao and cheaper for Xun Gang?" ”

"Why didn't you talk to me earlier?"

"Didn't you tell me that you wanted to be married?"

Sun Ce was speechless for a while, it turned out that Lu Xun still had such a talent, originally he thought that Lu Xun was just a more outstanding person among the four families, but it was great to be favored by Zhou Yu. Lu Su, who was recommended by Zhou Yu before, made Sun Ce extremely admired for his talent, and now this Lu Xun ...... Ay!

"What can I do now?"

Zhou Yu is also very helpless, everyone's imperial orders have come down, do you still want to disobey? He persuaded Sun Ce to deal with Huang Zu and Lu Xun with peace of mind for the time being, and we will talk about it later.

Not to mention Ma Teng, Ma Chao and others, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai escaped from Wuwei overnight, and ran to Yangping to seek refuge with Zhang Wei, the guard of Yangping; Zhang Wei introduced Ma Chao into Hanzhong and met with Ma Teng, who knew that the rear had rebelled and that Liangzhou had been lost.

However, even though Ma Teng only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Lu is still quite afraid, after all, Ma Teng's subordinates are all Xiliang warriors, and his subordinates are almost invincible, so Ma Teng is almost holding a hot potato under his hands.

At the beginning, Zhang Luben planned to rely on Ma Teng's strength to march into Yizhou, take Yizhou completely, and spread his Wudou Rice Sect. But he never expected that accidents were frequent, Ma Teng lost his territory, and he refused because of his bad feelings, so he could only let Ma Teng stay and let him garrison Chuyang.

But this is Zhang Lu's most wrong decision, Chuyang is located in the western part of Hanzhong, adjacent to Dingjun Mountain, which is a military location; And Ma Teng was not willing to live under the people for a long time, recruited troops and bought horses in Chuyang, and within two months, he rebelled, surrounded Hanzhong in one go, and bribed Zhang Lu's cronies Yang Song with a lot of money, so that he could secretly open the city gate and take Hanzhong without blood.

Zhang Lu was originally a guest, but now he has become a prisoner. But Ma Teng was not a fool, he knew that Zhang Lu had a very high reputation in Hanzhong, and he did not dare to kill him, so he let him go and let him defect to Cao Cao.

However, the little Hanzhong could not satisfy Ma Teng's ambitions at all, and he ordered his eldest son Ma Chao to occupy Wudu, and Hanzhong became each other's lips and teeth, and after the grain was sufficient in the autumn of the following year, he marched to Zitong and took the northern part of Yizhou.

Liu Bei has been stationed in Cangwu for nearly a year, and with the assistance of Pang Tong and others, Cangwu has a lot of grain and grass reserves, and has many transactions with merchants in Jiaozhou and Yizhou, and gradually develops Cangwu.

However, after all, Cangwu is remote, and no matter how it develops, it cannot be as fast as the Central Plains town. Liu Bei's ambition was not in Cangwu in the first place, and the little Cangwu was just a foothold for him. He was well-known and loved in Cangwuren, and in half a year, he expanded the number of soldiers and horses to nearly 10,000.

However, Liu Biao also often sent people to observe Liu Bei's movements, and heard that Liu Bei was recruiting troops and horses in Cangwu, and seemed to be interested in Jingnan, so he sent someone to ask, Liu Bei only said that it was to guard the south and prevent Shixie from invading, and Liu Biao was helpless.

After all, Cangwu is in Jiaozhou, which is not within his jurisdiction, not to mention that there are only nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Guiyang, Lingling and other counties, how can he fight against Liu Bei?

At this time, Liu Biao began to regret it, if Liu Bei had been driven away or killed earlier, how could there be such a situation today? Nanyang in the north is Cao Cao's territory, Liu Biao didn't dare to transfer the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, Nanjun and other places, and Sun Ce in the east is ready to move, who will guard Jingnan?

Liu Biao originally wanted his nephew Liu Pan to have full authority to supervise the affairs of the four counties of Jingnan, but the strategist Kuai Yue persuaded him: "Liu Bei is the dragon in the clouds, and if Liu Pan and others can deal with it, it is better to secretly set up a Hongmen banquet in Nanjun and wait for the opportunity to kill Liu Bei, and the rest of the people will inevitably collapse!" ”

Liu Biao shook his head and said: "Nanjun is far away from Cangwu, if you hold a banquet here, I'm afraid that Liu Bei won't dare to come." ”

"Then I can only bother the lord to travel far away, set up a feast in Guiyang, and after Liu Bei enters the city, the city will be guarded by elite soldiers inside and outside the city, and he will be killed!"

Liu Biao followed his words, so he asked Cai Mao and Kuai Liang to organize this banquet, and ordered Wen Ping and Wang Wei to send a thousand men and horses from Nanjun to ambush outside the city, and after Liu Bei entered the city, he would besiege the city layer by layer, so that Liu Bei's subordinates would not have the slightest loophole to exploit.

Liu Bei learned that Liu Biao was going to invite him, and he was worried that this was a Hongmen banquet, but if he didn't go, he would be rude, and he would inevitably be suspicious in the future, so he asked Pang Tong. But Pang Tong insisted that this was the Hongmen banquet, otherwise Liu Biao would not have been able to go to such a distant place as Guiyang to entertain Liu Bei, there would be no ghosts!

"Cangwu and Guiyang are neighbors to each other, and now Liu Biao is suspicious of the lord, so he set up a Hongmen banquet, intending to kill the lord, and the lord should plan it as soon as possible!"

"Will the plan be released?"

Pang Tong said: "There are three plans for the upper, middle and lower, and the power is decided by the Lord and the public." The plan is to lead the soldiers of Cangwu, and after Liu Biao is stationed in Guiyang, he will surround Guiyang and trap Liu Biao. Guiyang is remote, and all the soldiers and horses in Jingnan are only more than 5,000, and the lord has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is enough to trap Liu Biao to death. ”

"Shi Yuan's plan is too impatient, and the world still doesn't know Liu Biao's intentions, so he killed him in a hurry, but it only adds insult."

Liu Bei's words no longer have any gratitude for Liu Biao's favor, after all, the relationship between the two can almost be regarded as stiff, and Liu Bei is still taking care of his face and not beating Liu Biao, which is already very good for Liu Biao.

Pang Tong said again: "The plan is that the lord brought the bandits Liao Hua and Zhou Cang who had taken refuge before as guards, and when Liu Biao plotted to assassinate the lord, he would kill him violently, and ambush all the soldiers and horses outside the city, surround Guiyang, and force everyone in the city to surrender." ”

Zhou Cang and Liao Hua were thieves in Yuzhou, and they heard that Liu Bei was benevolent, so they took refuge when Liu Bei fled; But Liu Bei felt that their thieves dragged their families and mouths, and he didn't want to fall into the grass, so he refused. After that, the two disbanded the cottage, searched all the way south, and found Liu Bei in Cangwu. With this persistence alone, Liu Bei has no reason to reject them,

"This is a plan that requires risk...... How's it going? ”

"Refuse to go to the banquet, Xu Tu Jingnan."

"This ......"

Pang Tong's three strategies are all very risky, especially the middle plan, which seems to be the most in line with Liu Bei's current situation, but at the same time, it is also the most dangerous. After all, only three people went to the Hongmen banquet alone, which is almost no different from looking for death.

If Liu Biao is killed, with Liu Bei's skills, he can resist them for a while, waiting for the besieging soldiers and horses to attack; But if the enemy does not surrender, he will have to attack the city, and he will become a prisoner of others......

"The next plan is too slow, and the upper plan is too impatient, but this is the middle plan...... It's too dangerous again. ”

"If you don't risk your life, how can you win the world?"

When Liu Bei heard this, his expression changed, and he drank: "Let's go!" This time, I will go to this Hongmen banquet, let Liu Biao and see my Liu Bei's courage! ”
