Cao Cao has been confronting Qiao Ren in Hefei for more than half a month, Qiao Ren relied on Hefei's strong city defense and ballista defense system so that Cao Cao had no way to start, even in the case of Cao Cao's fierce attack, the world's invincible Cao army elites were only able to touch the edge of the city wall.

The ambush plan that Cao Cao had high hopes for also failed because Le Jin was defeated by Zhu Huan and Zhou Tai. However, Zhu Huan leaked his face in the battle to defeat Lejin, who not only showed a strong ability to unify the army, but also showed a little resourcefulness, deceived Lejin into a daze, and was stunned that he didn't find Zhu Huan's main force.

The east of the great river went to the waves, and above the rolling river, a huge water army went upstream. According to Sun Ce and Qiao Ren's tacit plan, it should be Qiao Ren who dragged Cao Cao's army to death in Hefei, Sun Ce personally raised the main force to the north to recapture Liyang, and the metropolitan governor Lü Meng attacked Runan, Sun Quan's division entered Guangling, and the four roads evolved to attack. This is a full-scale war, the overlord of Jiangdong and the Central Plains launched a full-scale attack, both sides invested more than 100,000 troops, especially the Wu army almost poured out, so Sun Ce, who is as fierce as fire, will be grinding for so long, in order to draw 'the country's soldiers'.

This battle can almost determine the direction of the next ten years, if Cao's army wins Jiangdong's main force is almost exhausted, there is no way out except to claim the vassals; If Sun Ce wins, the south of Huaishui and Surabaya will no longer be surnamed Cao, but will return to Sun Ce, and the Yangtze River will also become Wu's inland river.

The river breeze is blowing, Sun Ce's handsome face is not a little dignified, at this moment he is like a round of the sun imprinted with incomparably powerful power, confident as Sun Ce does not think that he will be Cao Cao's opponent, when did the children of the Sun family be afraid of others, when did Jiangdong Erlang fear the Central Plains. The former weak Wu State Neng almost wiped out the Great Chu under the leadership of Sun Wu, the three thousand Jiangdong disciples were able to sweep away the Qiang Qin under the leadership of the Western Chu overlord, and his mighty little overlord could also defeat the seemingly powerful Cao Cao army.

Fighting alone in the southeast, he is known as the little overlord. Strategizing is like a tiger, and decision-making is like an eagle. What a Soochow overlord·····

"Brother Bo Fu!" A light call recalled Feiyang's thoughts, Sun Ce looked back slightly, and saw Zhou Yu, dressed in white, carrying a pot of fine wine on the top deck.

Sun Ce took the wine and said, "Why is Gong Jin so interested. ”

It can be said that Sun Quan is tragic, in history, Cao Cao was accompanied by Guo Jia, Xiahoudun, and Cao Ren in front of him, and he was not alone; Liu Bei also has a deep brotherhood with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, even if Sun Ce has a confidant Zhou Yu in his short life, only Sun Quan is a lonely widow, and no one has a heart.

"The river is majestic. Yu has gained something from every time he looks at it, so he wants to discuss it with Bo Fu. ”

Of course, Sun Ce would not think that Zhou Yu was really here to talk to him about Fengyue, that is, of course, confidants know each other, and Zhou Yu would not know that Sun Ce has no literary cells. "The general trend of the world is like this river, rolling and flowing, which is unpredictable!"

Zhou Yu poured a mouthful of fine flower carvings and said with a smile: "But when I wait on the boat, isn't it a big river?" ”

Sure enough, Zhou Yu said something else in his words, so Sun Ce said: "The way of the river and the water to compete for power, if you Zhou Gongjin say that you are second, then who else dares to call the whole Han the first." ”

"Haha!" Zhou Yu, who was in ashes while talking and laughing, came back, "Sailing against the current and competing for dominance in the river is nothing more than both, the low-level rower is willing to work hard, the boat will naturally go fast, and the person at the helm and the person who wields the crossbow can win this battle with their lives." ”

"Oh! What are the rowers? And what are the people who them? "Sun Ce is not stupid, Zhou Yu's words are secretly fighting for domination of the world, how can Sun Ce not hear it.

Zhou Yu looked at the majestic and beautiful Yangtze River and sighed: "The rower Jiangdong is also!" The Jiangbei is also, and if the two work together, I am invincible on the river. In fact, Zhou Yu still hasn't said a paragraph, in the previous sentence, the person at the helm can be in the same group as Cao Ge, if the person who is at the helm refers to the Jiangbei family (Huainan, Surabaya), then the person at the helm should also be the person from Huaisi, combined with Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Qiao Ren, Lu Su The four main and deputy governors, the metaphor is too obvious. The family in Jiangdong only has a large number of people and a home advantage, and it is okay for them to do lower-level officials and engage in internal affairs, but it is Jiangbei people who really decide major events and expand the territory. This is not Zhou Yu's factional opinion, but the group of families in Jiangdong is not so much a family as a landlord, except for a few top families such as Wu Zhongsi, the rest of the Jiangdong family has no knowledge and no courage, after all, these guys have been in that one acre and three points of land all their lives.

Sun Ce naturally understood it, and he did the same, but Zhou Yu brought this up at this juncture, I'm afraid the purpose was not to despise Jiangdong itself, but to work together. "Wu Zhong's four surnames are also Boyan's qualifications are good, otherwise let him join the army for Ziyan after this battle?"

"Yu thinks Bo Yan is more suitable to be Ziming's army!"

Since you want to draw a cake, you have to draw a big round cake, and those families in Jiangdong have their eyes on Jingzhou, so it is appropriate to let Lu Xun be Lu Meng's deputy, but Lu Su needs to be transferred so that Lu Xun has room to take the position.

"Okay, let Zijing be Ziyan's deputy governor, and let Boyan be Ziming's army!"

A conversation between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu gave Qiao Ren an extra deputy, and it also turned Lu Xun's life upside down. However, Lu Su's official position is General Hengjiang, and Hengjiang is in Huainan, which is in line with his official position.

After Zhou Yu solved the internal situation of Eastern Wu with a metaphor, his eyes were again on the current battle situation. "It's time for Bofu to attack Liyang, Cao Cao has made no progress in Hefei for nearly twenty days, and the Cao army has been in the army for half a year since October last year, and the army's war-weariness is probably also brewing, and this is the opportunity to break Cao!"

Before the Song Dynasty, even if the elite troops left the garrison for more than half a year, it was certain that the army had no fighting spirit, after all, the Han Dynasty was not an era of professional troops, and the soldiers of this era were all serving locally, even Cao Cao's elite Chinese army was mostly Xu Luo people and Qingzhou soldiers, and the families of Qingzhou soldiers were all in Yanzhou Xu Luo soldiers, not to mention, the long-term uprooting and the humid climate of Huainan made these northern soldiers very uncomfortable. From this point of view, Cao Wei's military system of separating the central army from the local army is also reasonable, and it is much stronger with only a few adaptation to the climate.

has no heart to fight, this is exactly what Sun Ce wants, and Qiao Ren's actions in Huainan are also such a purpose. When Cao's army was impatient to go on an expedition, Sun Ce's army suddenly killed not only with the highest victory rate, but also with the least battle losses.

"It's time! It's time for Uncle Gong to move! Sun Ce stroked his short beard and said.

As mentioned above, Xiahoudun crossed the river with an iron cable according to Zang Ba's proposal and locked the water surface of Chaohu Lake at the south gate of Liyang, which needs to be cleared by the Hengjiang army. What's more, Jianye's navy also has to transport Sun Quan's 10,000 people across the river! How can you have the leisure to be a scavenger!
