A hundred miles away from Shouchun City, Sun Ce's army had been stationed here for a day. As Qiao Ren expected, after learning that Zang Ba led the remnants of his army to settle in Shouchun, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu extinguished the idea of besieging Cao Cao. Zang Ba is not a mediocre general, plus there are now nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Shouchun City, and the city is high and strong, it is not necessarily that Sun Ce's 60,000 army can be captured before Cao Cao returns to the division, in order to avoid being knocked down by the front and back, it is better not to attack!

"For the sake of today's plan, the only way to do this is to let Qiao Dudu drag the Cao thief!" The elder Zhou Tai said in a similar manner.

But as soon as the words fell, he was refuted, "Qiao Dudu is under a lot of pressure, and if Hefei is lost, even if our army wins Shouchun, it will not be worth the loss." Zhou Tai heard the prestige and saw that it was the Overseer General Zhuge Jin who spoke, so he immediately shut up.

"No, it should..."

"That's how it should be..."

"Don't fight, Cao Thief has already returned to the division! And I'm afraid it will go straight to Shouchun. Sun Ce handed the letterhead in his hand to Zhou Yu as he spoke, "Ziyan used a letter to retreat Cao Cao's 100,000 army. ”

"Dare to ask the lord what kind of letter it is?"

Just kidding, once the 100,000 troops retreated with a letter, but the deeds that will remain in history cannot be ignored by these literati and military generals, and there are some inquisitive emotions in it.

"Spring water is born, the public should go quickly. Uncle is not dead, and his heart is not at peace. ”

As soon as these sixteen characters came out, all the strategists were bright in their hearts, and this Qiao Ren probably guessed Cao Cao's thoughts, and from here, it can be concluded that Cao Cao's southern expedition was just a demonstration. The pass is undecided, the horses are not destroyed, Cao Cao will definitely not easily rest assured that the southern expedition, then this battle is just a formality, but Qiao Ren's Huainan army hurt Cao Jun, forcing Cao Cao to show a sword. It's just that after Qiao Ren guessed his thoughts, there was no need for Cao Cao to continue to demonstrate in Huainan, just wasting grain and grass in vain.

However, just when everyone was savoring Qiao Ren's three flavors, the careful Lu Xun found that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu at the top seemed to have wrong faces, and after thinking about it carefully, they could guess that in this case, the only thing that could make these two worried was Hefei. "The lord has changed in Hefei?"

Hearing Lu Xun's question, the rest of the civil and military generals also turned their eyes to Sun Ce, only to find that Sun Ce's face did not have a trace of smile, which was too abnormal.

"Ziyan was assassinated in Hefei, and his injuries were difficult to treat and he was sent to Jianye!"

Hiss! As soon as these words came out, both the Huaisi faction and the Jiangdong faction gasped, and Qiao Ren's assassination was like a stone that shook a thousand waves, stirring up the situation in Jiangdong. Whose hand did it? Many of Huaisi's generals have set their sights on Zhu Zhi, and they seem to be saying that your Sun Quan did it?!

And many wise people have set their sights on the distant Yizhou, perhaps the means of Chengdu? is still Cao Cao's poisonous hand. At this critical moment, Qiao Ren's injury must be said to be a bad time.

"That's it!" Sun Ceru's gaze swept over every civil and military officer present, making them dare not look directly, "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, just leave it to Ziyu to investigate." The Huainan army cannot be left without an owner for a day, and Lone is ready to appoint Lu Su as the left deputy governor to temporarily replace the Huainan military, and Dai Gang as the right deputy governor as the minister of Zuobi. In addition, Lu Xun was moved to participate in the Jingzhou military, Hanyang Taishou, and General Bai Dingwei. ”

Appointments that were supposed to be made after the war had to be applied in advance, but many of the Koto factions saw the benefits. The interior of Eastern Wu can be roughly divided into two factions, Jiangdong and Huaisi, if it is divided into two factions, Jiangdong can be divided into the local faction and the dependent faction, the local faction is headed by the four surnames of Wuzhong, and the dependent faction is such as Erzhang and Qin Song, who crossed the river and came to rely on the local families of Jiangdong, and Lu Fan also belonged to this list. The Huaisi faction is naturally divided into two factions, Huaishui is headed by Zhou, Qiao, and Lu, and Surabaya used to be headed by Erzhang and now is headed by Sun Shao and Liu Ji. And Er Zhang and Qin Song and others are also dependent factions even if they are from the Surabaya family, in addition to this, there are many Jingzhou scholars and northern scholars, such as Pan Jun, Gan Ning, Lü Meng, etc., but Pan Jun and Gan Ning are Qiao Ren's sworn friends, while Lü Meng is closer to Jiangdong. Among them, the mistakes are complex and difficult to sort out.

According to Sun Ce's appointment, the Jingzhou line is all in the hands of the Jiangdong scholars, although Huainan is also all in the hands of the Huaisi family, but Huainan is where their clothes are located, Qiao Ren has unparalleled power in Huainan, and their Jiangdong faction can't share a little bit of the residue on this cake, so why bother persevering!

"Report! Cao's army lined up ten miles away! A scout rushed in, gave a military salute to Sun Ce, and said loudly.

Sun Ce's brows were tightly wrinkled together, "But Cao Cao's army!" ”

"Exactly!"

"It's coming so fast!" Zhuge Jin couldn't help but sigh, this Cao Cao's 100,000 army is not a small number, the more people marched in ancient times, the slower the marching speed, the 100,000 army only spent 10,000 troops from Hefei to feel Shouchunwai, it is really worthy of the speed of the soldiers, but this is also Cao Cao's consistent style.

···········································································

"Cao Gong hasn't seen him for a long time, but his health is good." Sun Ce was dressed in a fiery red cloak and a red tasseled helmet, looking like Sun Jian, who was undefeated in a hundred battles.

And Cao Cao in Sun Ce's mouth was still lying lazily on top of the car collapse, looking calm and calm, but unfortunately the light in the corner of his eyes betrayed him. Sun Jian is very familiar with Cao Cao, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Sun Jian has been Cao Cao's comrade-in-arms, breaking the Yellow Turban, Pingxi Liang (of course, Cao Cao did not participate), begging Dong Zhuo, invincible, especially Sun Jian in the battle of Dong, the powerful Luyang made Hu Zhen dare not fight, defeated Lu Bu and beheaded Huaxiong, and then broke Luoyang to chase Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu saw that his generals did not dare to fight with him, so Sun Jian's name moved China for a while and became the god of war. What a majesty this is, now Cao Cao sees a little bit of Sun Jian's shadow from Sun Ce's body, it is so dignified, and it confirms Sun Jian's greatness from the side.

However, Cao Cao is also a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side with Sun Jian, and he is also the only prince loyal to the royal family when he was courting Dong, and he marched into the alliance of Luoyang together. ”

With a wave of one hand, several guards set up a banquet in the middle of the confrontation between the two armies, and it seemed that there was a tendency to talk to Sun Ce.

Although Cao Gong was domineering, the little overlord of Jiangdong was not far behind, in front of hundreds of thousands of troops, Cao Cao led Xu Chu, and Sun Ce led Wei Yan to stand in the middle of the two armies. As for Sun Ce taking Wei Yan instead of Tai Shi Ci, it is because Sun Ce is already inferior to Xu Chu in martial arts, and he is leading Tai Shi Ci, who has been famous for a long time and is not inferior to Xu Chu in martial arts, and Cao Cao will not dare to come out to meet him if he has ten dares! On the contrary, Wei Yan, who is strong but not famous, is more suitable.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Bo Fuxian's nephew!?" Cao Cao had the upper hand as soon as he opened his mouth, if Sun Quan was in power, he might be able to ignore Cao Cao and pressure him by seniority, but Sun Ce couldn't. Sun Ce was in the army when he was begging Dong, and he really called Uncle Cao Cao.

However, Xiaobawang is indeed free and easy, and it is better to admit it generously than to hide it. "Uncle is old and still has to come to Huainan in person, it's really a crime, please take care of your body, this kind of trivial matter should be done by Zihuan Xiandi!"

Sun Ce is in the prime of life and Cao Cao is declining, so how can he really let Cao Pi come and be the opponent of this little overlord. The afterlife is terrifying! Cao Cao only thought of this at this moment.

"Who is this?" Cao Cao's love for Guan Yu is well known, and he is also interested in Wei Yan, who is very similar to Guan Yu in front of him.

Sun Ce waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is Wei Yan, a lonely general." ”

·············

No one knew the specific content of the conversation between the two, and they could only vaguely see the two constantly leaning over and laughing, like the chat between two uncles and nephews who had not seen each other for a long time.

The days are waning, and the two finally have a tendency to end, back to back, two heroes of this era, back to each other. "Giving birth to a son should be like a grandson! Yuan Highway, you finally didn't look away once. Cao Cao sighed in his heart and couldn't help but speak.

Yuan Shu's vision in his life is almost equal to nothing, but the sentence 'If you have a son like Sun Ce, what more can you ask for', it was recognized by Cao Cao.

The war in Huainan ended in a tiger's head.
