Chapter 33: The Truth About Sun Jian's Death
What is the virtue of the so-called alliance, Jia Xu couldn't be clearer, he even dared to stand up and shout loudly that there is no unbreakable alliance in the world! Not in the past! In the alliance, there will always be a struggle for fame and fortune, and intrigue is indispensable!
Based on such considerations, Jia Xu did not suggest that Liu Biao let Liu Xuan and Liu Yan return to their own territory separately and put pressure on Yuan Shu and the Central Plains from three directions, but chose to continue to gather heavy troops in the area of Nanyang County; However, the heavy army is gathered, what he wants to do is definitely not to pull out the nail of Deng County, which is almost nailed above Xiangyang City, the construction of Deng County's city defense, and the garrison of soldiers and horses He couldn't be clearer, just a few days ago, when the war had not started, he had already slipped in and had a few looks; It was a fortified city that was only slightly inferior to Xiangyang City, when Li Xiaoxian still had tens of thousands of troops to fortify the defense, if he wanted to break through here, Jia Xu needed at least three times the enemy's strength, that is, more than 300,000, and it was too time-consuming, that was not Jia Xu's surname; As a qualified strategist, careful planning, with a small and broad spirit are necessary, as an excellent strategist, Jia Xu is to play these two points to the extreme, he wants to defeat Li Kai with the same strength, so that he will appear to have a sense of achievement; "Division?" , Liu Biao frowned: "The threat of Deng County is very big, we have to pull him out of it with a lot of effort, I know, but now is the best time to pull out Deng County, after all, we still have the help of two allies, otherwise, it will be even more difficult in the future!" ”
"Nope! The best time has been missed! Jia Xu said clearly: "With Li Xiaoxian here, they have more than 100,000 troops in terms of troops, and we need more than 500,000 troops to break it!" So, Uncle Liu, do you have it?
This is not alarmist, we did miss a best time, and that was the best time when Ji Ling was holding on here! But we can create the best timing now! Disperse Li Xiaoxian's troops and horses from here and transfer him from here"
"More than 500,000 soldiers and horses?" , Liu Biao shook his head, feeling incredible: "Is Deng County so strong?" Or forget it, more than 500,000 soldiers and horses are Dong Zhuo in his heyday, let alone me! If you divide the troops, how do you divide them? ”
Jia Xu walked to the map and said: "The direction of Yichuan does not border the forces of Yuan Highway, our main target is still here, but we have to change it, we can't go to Nanyang County anymore, we have to transfer the water division to the area of Lujiang County and directly put pressure on Yuan Shu!"
Yuan Highway newly acquired Yuzhou, Yuzhou is still in a turbulent period, especially he divided Yuzhou into nine counties, the division of each territory is still unclear, and the local supervisors can not make a timely response to us, this is a good opportunity! ”
"Yuan Highway divides Yuzhou into Chen County, Peiguo, Liang State, Yingchuan, Runan, Geyang, Qiaojun, Anfeng, and Lujiang, it seems to have been changed to Huainan County, right?" , Liu Biao looked at the map and said, "Where are you going to use troops?" ”
"Huainan! The water flow is most developed there, and the sailor is able to exert the greatest power! Jia Xu stood with his hands solemn and said: "Huainan Taishou Yuan Yin is also a breakthrough point, and it is very likely that something interesting will happen!" ”
"Lord!" , There was a sound of footsteps outside, Huang Zu came in, his expression was ashamed, of course, he was very moved while being ashamed, he kowtowed to the ground, he didn't get up for a long time, and he could even hear his low sobs; Liu Biao got up and helped him up, and said, "Okay! All right! This is nothing, I'm still waiting for you to lead the troops and horses for me! It's good to be back! It's good to be back! ”
Huang Zu was exchanged for Liu Biao, in Jia Xu's eyes, he made a very good deal, Huang Zu is indeed a great use, especially when he plans to have a water war next, with Huang Zu here, he will reduce a lot of pressure and can shift the focus to other places; Deng County, Li Kai is looking at a young man, although he is not very old, with a feather crown of nylon, thick eyebrows and big eyes, shining, he can be called a beautiful man, this person is Zhou Lang, Zhou Gongjin, he is here!
"After the end of school, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin will meet Mr. Li!" , Zhou Yu gave a careful salute, Li Mouren squinted his eyes and looked at him a few times, and said, "Lujiang Zhou Gongjin, Luoyang Ling Zhou Yi is your father, right?" ”
"It's my father!" , Zhou Yu arched his hand and said, beside him was Sun Ce, who looked gloomy, and held on to the spirit for Sun for three days, this kid finally reached the limit and fell, and only woke up today, but his mental state was not very good; "You guys talk slowly, I still have some things to do!" , Li Kai nodded, got up and left, leaving Zhou Yu and Sun Ce alone, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's unhappy and poor spirits, and said softly: "Bo Fu!" Cheer up! Uncle's revenge has not been avenged."
Sun Ce nodded, bit his lip, looked at Zhou Yu, and said, "How did you check the matter I asked you to help me?" ", he suspected that there was something wrong with Sun Jian's death, a very strange thing, Sun Ce felt that it was done by insiders;" I have a clue, but I'm not sure, there are two people who are the most suspicious at present, one is the one just now, and the other is Zhang Xian, this person used to be Wang Rui's subordinate, his uncle killed Wang Rui, and he was resentful in his heart; The one just now may also have the intention to get rid of his uncle, but he doesn't have a chance, and that Zhang Xian not only has a chance, but also has a motive, these are just my speculations, we can't speculate without real evidence! Zhou Yu lowered his voice and said; Sun Ce wrinkled his brows: "Zhang Xian? I'm going to kill that taciturn guy who killed my father behind his back! Certain! I'm going to get to the bottom of it! No one wants to escape! ”
Zhou Yu pursed his mouth and said, "You are now Yuan Yuzhou's son-in-law, I don't know what your plans are now?" Just like what Li did to Yuan Shu at the beginning, now Zhou Yu also has the intention to do the same thing to Sun Ce - to inspire his ambition!
"Plans? What can I do when my father's revenge is not avenged? Relying on my father-in-law's command, I can at least ensure that the Sun family will not decline in my generation! Sun Ce pursed his lips: "If there is anything, let's talk about it after I kill the enemy who killed my father!" ”
"Wait?" , Zhou Yu shook his head: "Does it feel good to be under the fence?" Troubled times are not common, it is lucky and unfortunate to be born in troubled times, shouldn't the eldest husband hold a three-foot Qingfeng sword, sweep the world, and establish immortal feats? ”
"Enough! Gong Jin! Sun Ce shouted in a low voice, and said after a long time: "Do you think I don't want to inherit my father's legacy and leave a foundation for the Sun family?" Call! You really don't know how powerful Mr. Li is! He had warned me before that! ”
"Warned you?" , The pupils of Zhou Yu's eyes dilated instantly, and he said for a long time: "Understood, is it that my uncle and mother were taken to Yuzhou?" ”
Sun Ce nodded and said: "Father's body was exchanged by him for Huang Zu, according to his surname, if it weren't for Cheng Zhongde's unauthorized agreement to this matter, he would never agree, so he warned me, on the one hand, it was a warning to me, I want me to know that I have to repay my kindness, even if I don't repay him, I have to repay my father-in-law; On the other hand, he was mentally uneasy, why did his father die? Why did it appear in Jiangxia-gun? What is the purpose? He knows it all clearly, he used to be very jealous and wary of his father, and now he has set this goal on me!
Just yesterday, he told me that Yuan Gong said that I was pitiful, and that my father died young, and that the Sun family is now orphans and widows, so he took them from Wu County, and said that he was afraid that Liu Xianggou would jump off the wall in a hurry, because of the relationship between the enemy and us, and the Sun family would be harmed."
"Really", Zhou Yu wanted to say something, but found that he didn't seem to be able to do anything now, sighed, and said: "Now my uncle's old department is still loyal to him, even if he dies, you can dispatch them; But after a long time, it will be impossible, these people will not always think about their uncle's past, they also have to think about their future, especially now that you have become Yuan Yuzhou's son-in-law, even if they switch to Yuan Yuzhou, they will not be said anything, which is very important; Now you have only two choices, first, to be a happy person, to talk freely at home with your wife, not to care about anything, you will still get what you deserve, and second, like I said, get out of here immediately."
"Leave? And what happens after you leave here? What about my mother, my brother, and my younger sister? Sun Ce's eyes widened, staring at Zhou Yu deadly, Zhou Yu said: "After all, you and Yuan Yuzhou still have a son-in-law relationship, even if he is angry, he will not do anything to his uncle, you can rest assured, Yuan Shu will not do those things that damage his reputation!" ”
"But Li Xiaoxian will!" , Sun Ce said coldly: "Zhou Gongjin! I think you're crazy! Fight for the world? Do you think it's a good job? As your friend, I have to warn you that this kind of thinking is too dangerous! If you have this kind of thought, you can go and go to the Lord, I am not the kind of person you are looking for, if you are going to be with me, then shut your mouth! ”
In the end, Sun Bofu roared almost in a low voice, his handsome face turned red, his expression was serious and stern, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said, "Sun Bofu, I see that you were frightened by Li Xiaoxian!" I think you're not that kind of person! ”
"Say whatever you want!" , Sun Ce flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left, Zhou Yu opened his mouth, sat in place unhappy, pondering, Li Kai came back from outside, and said, "Zhou Gongjin, are you investigating Sun Wentai's death?" I don't need to investigate, I will also investigate this matter, and the result surprised me! ”
Zhou Yu raised his head and rolled his eyes: "Then I don't know who killed the uncle of the Sun family?" ”
"A person who has died, it should be said that it is two, it is Wang Rui's subordinates Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu, they died in battle a few days ago, frankly said that Brother Wentai did not do authentic in this matter, and killed Wang Rui indiscriminately The two people have been staring at Brother Wentai for a long time, and bought off Brother Wentai's subordinates", Li Kai said to himself, regardless of whether Zhou Yu believed it or not; He did find out who did it, and it was indeed a dead man, but this matter ended here, it's a secret! Li Kai couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Xi Zhicai! Awesome! He was able to think of such a step! What a genius! It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!
Xi Zhicai had long expected that Yuan Shushu's big move would inevitably cause a backlash from the southern emperors, and Sun Jian would definitely be lonely and want to read out, so Xi Zhicai left a back hand, that is, when Sun Wentai sent troops to leave, the news was passed out, and the person who delivered the news for him was no one else, Yu Shi is also!
The person Li Kai went to see just now was Yu She, he came with 3,000 soldiers and horses sent by Yuan Shu to reinforce him, and told the truth under the pressure of Li, because it involved Xi Zhicai, Li Kai thought about suppressing this matter and stopped it; Zhou Yu's attitude towards this matter was noncommittal, but asked Li Kai: "Mr. Li doesn't know if you can give me some advice?" ”
"Fingering? Less! If you really want to find someone to guide you, you might as well go to Zhong Degong, or Old Man Yan! Hehe! Zhou Gongjin! I wonder what you're going to do next? Li Kai stared at Zhou Yu with a smile and exerted a lot of pressure on him; The troubled times are too chaotic, people like me still live in seclusion among the mountains and forests early! What can you do? Zhou Yu spread his hands and replied casually, in fact, he was very nervous in his heart, Li Kai had a strong smell of blood and murderous aura, very heavy, very heavy, he could feel it; As soon as he said this, Li Kai didn't believe it, and said, "Stay!" You are a very talented young man, I admire you, and similarly, Yuan Gong also likes young men like you! The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, what do you say? ”
"Mr. Li, is this using force?" , Zhou Yu's face was thin and angry, the current Zhou Gongjin is still young, or he doesn't have enough energy, he is still a young and frivolous kind of person, and he can't reach the highest realm; Li Kainunu mouthed and spread his hands: "You can think like this, I won't stop it!" I do appreciate you very much, if you are willing to stay, I will always help you keep the position of commander of the water division, and I can still help you with this matter in front of Yuan Gong! ”
Zhou Yu's face was extremely unhappy, and he didn't speak for a long time, while Li Kai kept staring at him with burning eyes, and the murderous aura in his eyes overflowed, which was quite scary, Zhou Yu was at best a child of the declining scholars, no different from the scholars of the poor family; Li Kai wanted to pull him into the camp of his Hanmen Alliance, on the one hand, he could spy on him under his nose, so that he and Sun Bofu could not make any small moves, and on the other hand, he also wanted to squeeze his talent to contribute to Yuan Shu; There was a sound of footsteps outside, Cheng Yu came, and said in a low voice: "There are countless boats and ships on the river, Liu Biao is going down the river!" What to do? Our sailors are still in their infancy, so they may not be rivals! ”
"Don't panic, don't panic! The key is where they want to go, if they want to occupy certain places, the sailors will inevitably land, although the speed of the cavalry is slower than theirs, but they can also keep up, as long as they keep up, there will be no problem! Li Kai replied lightly, turning to look at the map; That's right! Jia Xu also sent a letter, clearly saying that he was going to attack Huainan County! There's no going to be a scam in this, right? Cheng Yu said: "Is it to confuse the public and confuse us?" ”
"Nope! He must have gone! Li Kai waved his hand, thought for a while and said: "I suddenly think that Huainan County doesn't need to go for reinforcements, otherwise he will send troops to attack Anfeng County and Geyang County next time, what should I do?" I decided to surround Wei to save Zhao! ”
"Wai Wei to save Zhao? You mean attacking Xiangyang! Old Man Cheng almost shouted out his throat: "Xiangyang City is stronger and taller than Deng County!" Since it was built, there have been few records that have been breached, so you shouldn't be dizzy if you want to capture him, right? ”
"The method of attacking the city is a last resort, but why can't we attack the city? Even if we don't have an advantage in troops, we can use other methods! Li Kai said with a smile:
"Jia Wenhe wants to transfer me from Nanyang, I won't fulfill his wish, I want to keep him on Xiangyang's side, compress the war in this space, at least until I see the hope of victory, I can't move it yet!"
"My old bones!" , Cheng Yu shook his head, and suddenly found that Zhou Yu beside him was almost startled, an already serious face frowned slightly, that is, he was not angry and self-threatening, and had a strong deterrent surname, as soon as Zhou Yu saw this face, he instantly thought of his father Zhou Yi! old-fashioned and stern; "Who is this little Langjun?" , Cheng Yu asked, Li Kai smiled and said, "Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin!" His father is Zhou Yi! Lujiang people, you probably know each other, right? ”
"Zhou Yi? Zhou Xingfang? Oh! That's really after the old man! After many years of absence, your father is still well? I haven't seen him in 10 years, haven't I? It's so nostalgic! Cheng Yu sighed; Zhou Yu stood up and said, "My father died of illness a few years ago!" Duo Lao Zhong Degong is worried! ”
"What?" , Cheng Yu was a little shocked, and said for a long time: "The vicissitudes of life, personnel changes!" It's good to live a little longer, but it's also hi! Since it is an old man, I should take more care of it, I don't know what Gongjin plans to do now? ”
"My father died, my mother was too sad and left, and I seemed to be the only one left in the entire Zhou family, and I didn't want to do anything except study over the years!" , Zhou Yu replied respectfully; Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said, "Then you can follow me first?" The son of the old man is the only seedling, in this chaotic world, it may be safer to follow me! I don't know what you think? Gong Jin? ”
Zhou Yi didn't have many friends before his death, after the fall of his family, many of the former people stopped interacting, Cheng Yu was able to do this, Zhou Yu was very moved, and besides, he also wanted to stay here, mainly to stay with Sun Ce, a friend, but he was afraid that Li would suddenly kill him
"Thanks to Zhong Degong's care! The juniors are very grateful! Just cheeky left! Zhou Gongjin bowed;
