Sun Ce was stepping up the siege of Liu Xiang at this time, Liu Miao had no way out, even Xu Gong of Wu County defected to the thief Yan Baihu, and Liu Miao himself felt that he could not hold out for a few days.

At this critical juncture, there was another situation, it is said that Yang Xi mobilized the fleet to cut off Sun Ce's back road, although I don't know if it is true or not, but he should also send someone to investigate.

Sun Ce was also extremely puzzled, Yang Xi suddenly transferred the giant wave fleet into his rear, what did it mean?

The giant wave fleet arrived at the Jiujiang section and cruised for more than 20 days, but there was no action, Sun Ce was even more puzzled, and it was not until October that he received Yuan Shu's letter that he suddenly figured it out.

"Stupid! This kind of behavior is simply stupid! Sun Ce scolded.

Zhou Yu said: "Lord! This General Yuan had no choice but to move. ”

"What's so helpless about him?" Sun Ce couldn't figure it out, at this juncture, Yuan Shu wanted him to turn his face with Yang Xi, wouldn't he have to suffer the enemy on his back, if he took down Qu A, it would be good to drive Liu Xuan away, but this was not the time.

Zhou Yu said: "General Yuan's new army of 20,000 is already in short supply of food and grass, and now it is even worse, he must ask Yang Xi for food, but Yang Xi will not give it." General Yuan definitely can't ask Liu Bei in Xuzhou, after all, Liu Bei has the status of the imperial court, and he rashly moved his troops, and there is no righteousness, so he made an appointment with Liu Biao and made a move to Yang Xi. ”

Sun Ce frowned, he was also in trouble when it came to food, otherwise he wouldn't have to rush to attack Liu Xuan, so he could make a quick decision and recuperate.

"How's that good?"

"This matter is not easy to do, if the lord abandons Liu Xuan and goes to attack Yang Xi, it is difficult to say whether he wins or loses, even if he can win, he will be greatly injured, and there will be one more strong opponent, Liu Miao will make a comeback, and the trouble continues. If the lord ignores General Yuan's letter, he can take Liu Xuan, gain a firm foothold, and form an ally, as for General Yuan, I am afraid that there will be a lot of dirt with the lord. Unless~"

When Zhou Yu said this, he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

"Unless what?"

"Unless the lord can make a decision immediately, break away from General Yuan, and set up his own door!"

"Self-reliant portal?" Sun Ce was shocked.

Zhou Yu said: "Sooner or later, the lord will have to stand on his own, although General Yuan is the fourth and third duke, but at most he can only temporarily dominate one side, and it will not last long." ”

Sun Ce thought about it, so he said: "I can't stand on my own now, if so, then my back is controlled, although Yang Xi doesn't attack me, but such a big enemy is on the side, like a fish in the throat, in case General Yuan attacks me, driven by this person's interests, it is also possible to swallow me, Liu Xuan's Yu Qian and the second county of the hometown are examples." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Self-reliance is a matter of time or later, but in front of us, we have to deal with the past, I think Yang Xi does not want to turn his face with the lord, it is better to write back to General Yuan, explain the situation here, and send 5,000 troops, in Danyang, if General Yuan wins, he can lead the troops to take the land, if he does not win, he must not offend Yang Xi." ”

"Good! According to this plan, General Yuan had nothing to say at that time, and Yang Xi could also see that I did not want to attack him, and it would be better if both sides could lose both. ”

At this time, Yang Xi was not worried about Sun Ce. If Sun Ce wants to move his army westward, he can unite Liu Miao and Xu Gong Yan Baihu to kill Sun Ce.

As for Yang Xi himself, he had already led 500 members of the security regiment and 300 people from the special battalion to aid Cai Kao.

Cai Kao's pressure is not small, and it is very likely that he will have to face 20,000 or even 30,000 Yuan troops.

As soon as Sangou's spy battalion entered the territory of Lujiang, it dispersed in an all-round way, and some even entered the territory of Jiujiang to inquire about intelligence.

Xuzhou, Liu Beizhou.

"Big brother! This Yuan Shu also has no conscience, when Richenhe drinks with him, he often drinks until midnight, and now he is embarrassed to forcibly ask for food, what a villain. "Although Zhang Fei and Yang Xi do not have a deep relationship, at least they have a short mouth.

Liu Bei took back the letterhead in his hand, read it again and said: "Yang Xi's letter, from beginning to end, did not mention the need for rescue, but I can't make my own opinions, what do you think the second brother should do?" ”

Guan Yu said: "Although Yuan Shu is shameless, but Yang Xi is not a Han Chen, but he supports the army and respects himself, occupies the Han land behind the scenes, Yuan Shu attacks it, but he also gets great righteousness, if the eldest brother helps him, I don't know what the name is?" ”

Zhang Fei didn't care: "What else does this mean, as long as the eldest brother sends troops to the border and mobilizes troops and horses at will, he can also let Yuan Shu ponder his thoughts." ”

Liu Bei listened to the words of the two younger brothers, and he was relieved, although the two younger brothers had drunk with Yang Xi and fought with Lu Bu, in terms of position, they were not half partial, at this moment, although Zhang Fei said a few words for Yang Xi, he just hated Yuan Shu even more.

So Liu Bei didn't see this letter, and casually prevaricated Zhang Fei's words, the content of this letter, even such an iron as Lu Zhu, Liu Bei did not let him know, so as not to cause many more incidents.

Yang Xi sent a letter to Liu Bei, and he didn't really want him to send troops, but just told the surrounding princes, you see, it wasn't me who provoked the incident, it was he who was going to beat me, and when the time came, he was beaten by me like Liu Biao, don't blame me for making a move.

How difficult it is to block the mouths of Youyou, but with Yang Xi's identity at this time, he can't help but do it.

With the strength of Yuan Shu's original history, with three or four hundred thousand armor, he won Jiangdong Yuzhang and even Jiangxia, with a population of eight million, and the emperor was tortured to death in minutes, not to mention the current Yang Xi.

Yang Xi not only sent a letter to Liu Bei, but even Huiji Wang Lang went, Wang Lang was his neighbor, Liu Bei was Yuan Shu's neighbor, and the mouths of these two people were to be sealed.

On October 15, Yuan Shu raised 25,000 troops, marched from Shouchun, with Liu Xun as the general of Pingkou, the chief secretary of Yan Xiang as the military staff, and Yuan Yin, the younger brother of Yuan Shu, as the vanguard, and came towards the Lujiang River.

Cai got the battle report and hurriedly came to report Yang Xi, but Yang Xi was not in a hurry, but still drank and played chess with Lu Jun in Juchao City.

Lu Jun was nervous, but seeing Yang Xi like this, he had no choice but to follow the entertainment, anyway, there was a tall man on top of the sky when the sky fell.

Half a day later, Yang Xi called Sangou, explained some things, and went to the garrison outside the city with Cai Kao.

Gan Ning has been leading the battalion for more than half a month, and is familiar with the platoon commanders and some soldiers of each platoon. Seeing Yang Xi coming, he shouted that he wanted to fight again. Yang Xi was not in this mood, so he agreed that if Gan Ning performed well in this battle, he could be given a chance to challenge.

Yang Xi led Cai Kao and Gan Ning, as well as the deputy battalions of the two battalions into the account to discuss the military, Cai Kao said: "Son! His army is 25,000, and there are 5,000 men and horses in Shu County, although they are refugees to form recruits, but the number is more than several times that of me, but He Gongzi is still playing. ”

Yang Xidao: "Cai Kao, you have been with me for so long, more than ten years, right?" ”

"Huh?" Cai Kao nodded, wondering why Yang Xi suddenly asked about this.

"And when did you see me do something you're not sure about?"

Cai Kao was right to think about it, at that time, there were only a few of them, and they could all do it, not to mention that now there are two battalions here, a full 6,000 people, and there are 5,000 defenders recruited by Lu Jun in Juchao City, which is 11,000.

Gan Ning was not afraid at all, and shouted: "Don't worry, Gongzi, there is Gan Xingba, what kind of Liu Xun and others, I will lead my brothers to help Gongzi take the head." ”

Yang Xi looked at Gan Ning and said, "Xingba, you mean, you want to lead your three thousand brothers to help me take Liu Xun's head from the thirty thousand army to me?" ”

Gan Ning thought about it, it seemed unlikely, so his face turned a little red, but he couldn't hold back his words.

Yang Xidao: "I am the dean of the Military Academy, you all have to be my students, today, I will tell you what a general is, what is a handsome." If you only know how to lead the troops to kill, then in this life, you can only be a general, and I am handsome! ”

Gan Ning is not a reckless person, knowing that Yang Xi took the opportunity to remind himself and not act recklessly, so he hurried to respond.

"Childe taught a lesson! Gan Ning reminded himself of being a **** in the future, so as not to miss the big thing of the son! ”

Yang Xi let go of his expression and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry, Xingba, I'm just afraid that you will be reckless in the future, there is a mistake, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce can't afford to lose, for the sake of the brothers and sisters of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, you have to make some progress." ”
