Yuzhang County, Hukou Daying.

In the past half a month, the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxia Army have fought seven times on the river, winning more and losing less, and the results are remarkable.

In this regard, Sun Ce was not afraid at all, because he was confident enough to defeat Jingzhou's reinforcements, but at this time, a news from Huainan made Sun Ce's expression extremely serious, and his brows subconsciously wrinkled into the word 'Sichuan'.

Wang Chong, the leader of Jinfan who he had wanted to recruit many times, has now changed into a Huainan Taishou and an Annan general, and his official position is still above him.

"I really didn't expect that Wang Shaolin would hit the idea on the jade seal of the country!" Sun Ce sighed, even as an enemy, he couldn't help but feel a heartfelt admiration for Wang Chong, after all, throughout the ages, how many people have been able to jump from a small thief to a prince in just half a month?

Hearing this, Zhou Yu on the side also shook his head with a wry smile.

In fact, from the moment Wang Chong led Jinfan to break through their blockade and escape from Poyang Lake, Zhou Yu had a premonition that the other party would become their fierce rival in Jiangdong sooner or later, but the only thing Zhou Yu didn't expect was that this time was too short.

Zhou Yu didn't persuade Sun Ce to exterminate Jinfan in one go, and then turn back to deal with Huang Zu, but at that time, Sun Ce only wanted to avenge his father, and he was also afraid that his relentless pursuit would kill the captured Tai Shici, so he let Jinfan be stationed at the mouth of the water.

Now, Jinfan has become a big trend, and it is no longer something they can extinguish if they say it's gone.

"Hmph, I don't know what Cao Gong thinks, Wang Chong is just a yellow-mouthed child, what virtue can he hold the post of General Annan?" Huang Gai said angrily.

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Cao Cao Feng Wang Chong is obviously not a good person for General Annan, look at the fact that all my Jiangdong people are indignant and are holding grievances for Bo Fu, can't General Huang still guess Cao Cao's true intentions?" ”

"Cao Cao, is this trying to provoke us to attack Jinfan?" Huang Gai frowned and wondered, "But why is that?" If he really wants to use Jinfan's hand to curb the development of our Jiangdong, shouldn't Jinfan be given enough space for development? But he rashly named Wang Chong as General Annan, how could it make people think that he wanted to get rid of Wang Chong with the help of our Jiangdong? After all, when the appointment was issued, Jinfan only occupied a small mouth, and it was impossible to block the onslaught of our Jiangdong Army. ”

Zhou Yu shrugged: "Who knows?" Perhaps Wang Chong accidentally offended Cao Cao and was retaliated against; Or maybe Cao Cao felt that Wang Chong's ability was too strong, and he was worried that he would end up with a big tail, so he tried every means to stumble on Wang Chong! ”

"Alright, stop talking about these pointless things." Sun Ce took a deep breath, interrupted everyone's discussion, and asked Zhou Yu, "Gong Jin, who do you think we should focus on next?" ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Bo Fu, if my expectations are correct, you are vacillating between Huang Zu and Wang Chong in your heart at this moment, right?" ”

Sun Ce nodded solemnly, Huang Zu had a grudge against him for killing his father, and he was stimulated by Wang Chong before, so he couldn't wait to kill Huang Zu to avenge his father; And Wang Chong's sudden rise made Sun Ce really feel threatened, and he felt that if he didn't get rid of Jinfan quickly, he was afraid that it would become more and more difficult to deal with when they gained a firm foothold in Huainan in the future.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Bo Fu, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, although Huang Zu is now greatly injured, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, with the support of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao behind him, Huang Zu will never die all at once, plus Yu Zhang is still in Hua Xin's hands, if we drag the battle line too long, Hua Xin can send troops at any time to cut off our retreat, not to mention that there is Wang Chong and Liu Xun in Jiangbei, if they take the opportunity to send troops to attack my Jiangdong, what can they do?" ”

Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Sun Ce immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, although he was indeed eager to kill Huang Zu, but it did not mean that he would lose his mind because of this: "What about Wang Chong? Since we can't solve Huang Zu all at once, it can't be wrong for us to target Wang Chong first, right? ”

Zhou Yu said: "Several ferries in Jiangbei today are heavily garrisoned by Jinfan, which shows that Wang Chong has long been on guard against our Jiangdong, once we can't do it overnight, with the arrival of Jinfan reinforcements, the two sides will inevitably fall into a war of attrition." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused, and said with a solemn expression: "Bo Fu, Jinfan's combat power is not weak, even if we really defeat Wang Chong and attack Chaohu Lake or Liyang, our own losses will never be small, and Wang Chong, who lost the battle, can completely retreat all the way back to Hefei or even Shouchun, it is too difficult for us to destroy Jinfan in one battle, and, don't forget Liu Xun in Wancheng, will he be indifferent to watching our Jiangdong occupy the land of Huainan?" ”

Sun Ce was silent for a long time before he sighed decadently: "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Bo Fu, the meal has to be eaten in one bite, instead of sending troops to Jinfan now, it is better to kill Liu Xun who is better solved first, as long as we capture Anhui City in advance, the heavy troops that Jinfan puts on various ferries will be completely meaningless, because as long as we send troops from Anhui City, we can easily attack the hinterland of Huainan, and at that time, how can Jinfan, who has no danger to defend, stop the edge of my Jiangdong Army?" ”

Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly brightened up, and laughed: "Gong Jin is reasonable, but he drilled the horns before!" ”

Seeing that Sun Ce agreed with his opinion, Zhou Yu was also secretly relieved, you must know that Sun Ce's temperament is very stubborn, and Zhou Yu is really afraid that he will not listen to his admonition and insist on attacking Huang Zu or Wang Chong.

"Since Bo Fu has decided to take Wancheng first, then he must be quick, because according to my judgment, I'm afraid that Jinfan Wang Chong has already been fighting Wancheng's idea!" Zhou Yu reminded again.

Sun Ce said with a serious face: "Gong Jin has a manuscript in his heart? It must be known that the city of Anhui is thick and heavily guarded, if you don't need to count, it may be difficult to attack! ”

Zhou Yu smiled silently, looking confident.

At this time, a Jiangdong soldier walked into the hall quickly and saluted Sun Ce, "Lord, Lujiang Taishou Liu Xun sent a messenger to ask for a meeting!" ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled at Sun Ce, "It seems that someone is more anxious than us to destroy Jinfan, maybe this time, we will have an unexpected harvest!" ”
