Sun Ce handed a scroll of silk to Zhou Yu and said, "Gongjin, this is a secret report sent back by the fine work. ”

Zhou Yu took the silk book and read it in a hurry, and said with emotion: "Providence, this is really providence." ”

Sun Ce also muttered: "Yes, I didn't expect it, seeing that Yuan Wei'er's Tuntian had been defeated, but at this time Liu Ye actually voted for him, and sent people to summon him several times, Liu Ye couldn't shirk it, I really can't figure it out, Liu Ye is also a generation of masters, why did he follow Yuan?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Liu Ye has always cherished the people of the world, the reason why he defected to Yuan Nuo may be because Yuan Nuo has never given up on the people in times of emergency, right?" ”

Sun Ce said: "Yuan is a child, fake benevolence and false righteousness, Liu Ye is blind!" ”

It's no wonder that Sun Ce is angry, if you want to talk about raising people in Tuntian, he Sun Ce has more homeless people in Chaohu.

Zhou Yu said: "It's useless to say these things now, and now that Yuan is in charge of Anhui City, it's already a boat." ”

Sun Ce said: "Yes, I never thought that this Liu Ye's influence in Lujiang would be so great, once he was put into Yuan Wei's account, he immediately affected almost all the scholars in Lujiang, and then the Qiao clan in Wancheng added fuel to the fire, Liu Xun was forced to abdicate and make way for Xian, amazing, really powerful." ”

Zhou Yu said: "This is probably what the world often says." ”

Sun Ce said: "Gongjin, now that Liu Xun has abdicated to make way for Xian, Yuan Nuo Xiao'er has already sat on the Lujiang River, we are raising troops in Tuntian, and the strategy of waiting for Liu Xun and Yuan Que to fight is difficult to break, but what?" ”

Zhou Yu got up and paced back and forth in the tent, and after a long time he stopped, turned around and said: "Bo Fu, there is no other good way to do it now, so I can only choose to use soldiers." ”

"With soldiers?" Sun Ce said, "Gongjin, didn't you say that the time, place, and people are all in the other side and not in me?" So, shouldn't you use troops against Lujiang? ”

"Not bad." Zhou Yu said, "Even now, the time, the place, and the people are still in me and not in me, but there are two kinds of soldiers, one is kingly and the other is domineering!" ”

Sun Ce said: "The royal road? Overbearing? What does this mean? ”

Zhou Yu said: "Where the royal road refers to the time and place, and the people's hearts are attached, then the soldiers who can surrender without a fight are called the royal road. Hegemony refers to the fact that the time is not with each other, the geographical advantage is not enough, and the people's hearts are not attached, but if the military is strong enough, it can still form a crush against the enemy, and it is hegemonic to force Qin to sweep away the six countries. ”

Sun Ce said: "I understand, our Jiangdong army has 30,000 people, and it is enough to form a crushing trend in Lujiang, so we have no time, location, and people in this battle, and we can also win, but in this way, after this battle, the entire Lujiang is only afraid that the jade will be burned, and the heroes of Lujiang are strong, even if they are obedient on the surface, they also regard my Sun family as a thief." ”

Zhou Yu sighed and said: "This is also a helpless thing, if you don't sweep away Yuan Quan with the momentum of thunder at this time, and then use troops when his wings are getting fuller, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the certainty of victory, you know, we still have the elbow of Shanyue behind us, and there is also Liu Biao's watch in the west, and when Liu Biao reacts, he will definitely send troops to aid Yuan Quan for the sake of Jingxiang's safety." ”

Sun Ce thought it was true, although Liu Biao was weak, but he was by no means confused, for the safety of the northern part of Jingzhou, he dared to provide soldiers and horses to help Wancheng Zhang Xiu against Cao Cao, if he waited until Yuan Quan gained a firm foothold in the Lujiang River, Liu Biao would definitely help Yuan Que thought that Jingxiang was the eastern barrier, so as to resist the Jiangdong Army's troops, but this was not a good thing.

At that moment, Sun Ce instructed Jia Hua, who had just returned: "Beat the drum and gather the generals!" ”

Jia Hua had just returned, and he had found nothing on his trip to Anhui City.

(Dividing Line)

"Yuan Xiugong, rest in peace, now no one forces you to work day and night."

Jin Shang finally died, and the day after Liu Ye presided over the affairs of Tuntian, he died with a smile.

Yuan Wei slowly poured a bottle of turbid wine in front of Jin Shang's tomb, looking guilty, it is no exaggeration to say that Jin Shang was tired to death, or it can be said that he was forced to die.

There were light footsteps behind him, and then Ji Ling's voice: "Mr. Ziyang." ”

Yuan turned around when he heard the sound, only to see that Liu Ye had already walked slowly from the tree-lined path.

Seeing Yuan Wei turn around, Liu Ye shook slightly, and said solemnly: "Son, please mourn." ”

Yuan Wei casually abandoned the bronze wine bottle in his hand in the grass, and said to Liu Ye as he walked back: "Ziyang, just now the sentry cavalry has returned, and the Jiangdong army stationed in Stone Town has already advanced westward. ”

Although Yuan Que had already been mentally prepared, and even, this time the Jiangdong Army's westward advance against the trend was forced out by Yuan Ran, but when Yuan Que heard that the Jiangdong Army was really advancing westward, he was still inevitably a little anxious.

Moreover, at that time, he was not taken seriously by others by virtue of his namelessness.

But this time, it was 30,000 Jiangdong troops who came to attack, and what made people tremble even more was that Zhou Yu also came!

Before the crossing, as a history lover, Yuan Wei had also read a lot of history books, and knew that Zhou Yu was one of the top military commanders in the Three Kingdoms period, and in terms of his ability to command troops alone, Zhou Yu was slightly inferior to Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and Jiang Wei were slightly inferior to Zhou Yu.

At this time, although Zhou Yu was far from growing up, and his fame and experience were far from being comparable to the Battle of Chibi, his ability was already there.

Although Yuan Wei defeated the Jiangdong Army in Xia Cai and Long Kang, he really had no confidence in Zhou Zhou Yu at all.

Yuan No's two victories both had accidental factors, both of which took advantage of Tai Shi Ci and Sun Ce's carelessness of the enemy, but Zhou Yu was a real soldier, and he had the experience of Sun Ce and Tai Shi Ci, but it was impossible to underestimate the enemy again.

Liu Ye saw Yuan No's anxiety, so he smiled and said, "Childe, isn't it expected that Sun Ce will raise a large army to the west of the Lujiang River?" ”

Yuan nodded and remained silent.

Liu Ye saw that Yuan Nuo seemed to be a little unwilling, so he asked with a smile: "Childe is a little reluctant to Lujiang?" ”

Yuan Wei sighed and asked, "Ziyang, if you tell me the truth, is this Lujiang really unstoppable?" ”

Before he got Lujiang, Yuan Fu thought that his determination was very firm, and he firmly believed that going to Hebei to join Yuan Shao was the only way out, but when Liu Ye talked and laughed, he forced Liu Xun to give up Anhui City and help him get Lujiang without blood, Yuan No's determination was shaken, and at this time, he was a little reluctant to Lujiang County.

No matter how small Lujiang is, it is also a county, and there are more than 200,000 people, which is enough to raise tens of thousands of soldiers!

Going to Hebei may have a bright future, but after all, it is under the fence, how can you stay in Lujiang and be the lord yourself?

Liu Ye looked at Yuan Nuo with a smile and said, "If the prince is willing to return the jade seal of the heirloom country, he will have full confidence to persuade Sun Ce to quit the army." ”

Yuan Wei said: "I was about to tell Ziyang about this, but this heirloom jade seal is not here, as early as the Shouchun War, it has been dedicated to Cao Cao." ”

Liu Ye said: "I heard that when I was in Longkang, Gongzi once showed the jade seal of the country in public. ”

Yuan Wei said without thinking: "That's fake, it's just an empty box." ”

Liu Ye looked at Yuan Fu deeply, and asked quietly: "Son, is the jade seal of the country really dedicated to Cao Cao?" ”

"It's really dedicated to Cao Cao." Yuan Wei spread his hands and said helplessly, "Why doesn't Ziyang believe it?" ”

Liu Ye laughed when he heard this, what he admired most about Yuan Wei was this, he was ruthless enough and thick-skinned enough, he dared to talk nonsense when he opened his eyes, and he didn't admit it, which is undoubtedly the same as Cao Cao.

However, compared with Cao Cao, Yuan Wei has always adhered to a bottom line in his heart, that is, he will never harm the people.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Wei can not only reap the reputation of benevolence, righteousness and love for the people, but he will not be bound by benevolence, righteousness and morality.

After laughing, Liu Ye said again: "Since the jade seal of the country is not in the hands of the son, there is no way to do it, and even if the jade seal is there, even if Sun Ce resigns his troops and returns to Jiangdong, Lujiang County will still not be able to keep it, because even if Sun Ce retreats and leaves, it will also attract more terrible enemies." ”

Yuan Wei said awe-inspiringly: "Ziyang is talking about Cao Cao? ”

"That's right, Cao Cao." Liu Ye said, "Gongzi is accustomed to using soldiers, and has the name of benevolence and righteousness, over time, it will inevitably rise to become Cao Cao's henchmen, Cao Cao has foresight, but he will never sit idly by and watch Gongzi sit big, if Sun Ce retreats, then Cao Cao will inevitably raise Yanzhou's troops to the south, so, Lujiang is also not guaranteed." ”

Yuan was silent, but Liu Ye's words were not false at all, and no one could despise Cao Cao!

After a while, Yuan Wei sighed and said, "Okay, then we can only go to war." ”
