"I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say much! The world is turbulent, it is the time for our generation to use force, at this time not to fight, but to retreat, but what is the reason? ”

The flying pigeon book itself does not have much technical content, and after piercing that layer of window paper, it is easy to copy it out. When Cao ** and Sun Ce met the alliance, this was the first thing they exchanged. With the flying pigeon biography, Sun Ce got the latest military information, but he was only half a day behind Cao **.

Sun Ce's surname, at best, can be said to be aggressive, at worst, it is impulsive and irritable. Regarding Cao **'s decision to give it a go, he naturally raised his hands in favor.

However, what he didn't expect was that the news had just been passed to his younger brother Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and the former had rushed to the Hulu camp overnight and raised objections to him in fierce words.

"Big brother's words are wrong."

Sun Quan was born in the fifth year of Guanghe, seven years younger than his brother Sun Ce, and now he is only thirteen years old, even in this era, he can only be regarded as an older child. But no matter who it is, as long as you see him with a serious face and argue with reason, you will definitely think of him as a teenager who can perform a crown salute.

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival! How can you not be careful? Our army marched north, which was an expedition of laborers, and after the eradication of the traitor Yuan Shu, Huainan was unstable, and there were more Zhang Jaw and Pang Tong to attack with all their might, which was a taboo for soldiers. Before the Battle of Longshan, Xiliang, Luoyang and my Jiangdong attacked together, and there was still a chance of victory, and now it is ......"

Sun Quan showed a sad look on his face, and said sadly: "Xuzhou has not fallen, Huainan has not been flattened, even if this battle can be won, when the Warring States are divided, it will be difficult for my Jiangdong to compete with Luoyang, once defeated...... Eldest brother, my grandson's ancestral prestige, two generations, and many years of war, only to have today's situation, a good foundation, must be cherished! ”

As he spoke, he had already bowed deeply and bowed to Sun Ce, looking like an ancient minister.

Sun Ce didn't seem to expect his younger brother to say this, so he was stunned for a while and didn't react. Seeing this, all the staff members looked at each other and nodded.

Huaiyin celebrity Bu Qi took the lead in speaking: "What the second general said is exactly the way of Lao Cheng to seek the country. Cao ** supported the Son of Heaven, and his territory was fully bordered by Qingzhou, so he had to fight to the death. On the other hand, our army only needs to stop the army and make peace, and can calmly pass through Huainan and Jingzhou, and separate the north and south from Qingzhou, so as to make a future map. ”

"What Zishan said is very true." Gu Yong, a famous man from Wu County, followed closely: "Although Huainan is slightly inferior to Jiangdong, it is also a region with many mountains and few flat lands. The Qingzhou army is vertical and horizontal, the elders, and the cavalry are also! Our army retreated to Huainan, so that its cavalry could not be used, whether it was luring the enemy to go deeper, fighting a decisive battle in the territory, or rejecting the enemy from the country, it was the best policy. ”

"Cao ** is good at taking advantage of the situation, Bao Yuncheng helps him succeed, and now he has no power, and the four are empty; Liu Gongshan was confused by it, and he was also defeated and died, and his wife could not be protected; Yuan Benchu, Ma Shoucheng, and Han Wenyue are all examples worth learning from! The lord should be aware of it, and he must not be willing to take risks and take chestnuts for Cao **! ”

"The lord should be aware of it!"

Zhang Zhao, Yan Zhan, Kan Ze, Xue Zong, and all the Wenchen in Jiangdong spoke out one after another, and Rao was also caught off guard by everyone with Sun Ce's vigorous courage and unparalleled domineering, and was stunned there.

When Sun Quan spoke, he was surprised, but he was not a little happy in his heart. No matter what the point of view is, the younger brother has something to say, and his export is always a sign of success.

There is a saying: Fathers and sons in battle, fighting tiger brothers, Jiangdong's foundation, of course, must rely on themselves to rush to the front, but if the younger brothers can become talents as soon as possible and help from the side, it must be a good thing to add wings to the tiger.

If it weren't for such expectations for his younger brother, Sun Ce would not have taken the underage Sun Quan with him when he went north, and even appointed him as the main general, making him independent.

Sun Ce's command is not without a right-hand man, Zhou Yu was originally used by him as a second-in-command. The reason why Sun Quan is given the name of the main general is nothing more than to let him experience more, see more, and grow up faster.

It's just that Sun Ce never expected that his younger brother would grow up, but the direction would deviate greatly from what he expected. He didn't show much talent in political or military strategy, but he played tricks on himself!

Sun Ce doesn't like scheming, and he doesn't have any attainments in this field, but the matter is obvious. If Sun Quan only had an opinion on strategy, he could have come to him alone, instead of bringing a group of left-behind ministers to help the momentum, as if he was going to force the palace.

Maybe these people are here to force the palace.

Sun Ce knew very well what the Jiangdong ministers thought, except for Gong Jin and some young generals who were in their prime, everyone else was not interested in mentioning the Northern Expedition and expanding the territory.

It's not that they turn a blind eye to the honor of being the founding fathers, and they have reached the highest state of being rigid without desire, they just don't want to take risks, they prefer to live in a corner and enjoy peace.

Sun Ce couldn't quite understand what these people were thinking. Although Jiangdong has natural risks, it can resist for a long time. However, as long as there is no change in the growth of the forces in the north and south, or even further pulled apart, sooner or later Jiangdong will still be trampled by the army of the north.

Such a simple truth, don't these famous talents understand?

Sun Ce can only understand it as that each family is unwilling to damage their own strength, so they connect them in private, and push their younger brother to the table to top the cylinder.

Although Sun Ce is also a hero, his surname is so good, but he can't talk about any city, and he is unhappy, and his anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he said coldly: "Who is Wang Pengju?" A talent like no other in the world! His father also praised his wisdom and courage back then, and rumored it to the general as an encouragement. Now that it is prosperous, it has verified the wisdom of the late father! ”

Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

The lord actually praised Wang Yu in public, is this a harbinger that the sun will come out of the north tomorrow? Obviously, the name Wang Yu is the biggest taboo in Jiangdong, and the lord has not known how many nameless fires have been born in order to compete with Wang Yu, why did he suddenly change the direction of the wind today?

You must know that just now everyone advised together, and unsubtly revealed the private conspiracy, but they still didn't dare to tell the truth - they were afraid of Wang Yu and the strength of the Qingzhou Army, so they only thought about the mood of retreating, that is, they were worried about annoying the lord and making him mad, but the result was that the lord himself said it.

Could it be that the lord has finally grown up, dared to face the reality, and admitted that Wang Yu is as strong as the sky?

If so, it would be a blessing for Koto!

The 300,000 Xiliang army attacked head-on, but they couldn't defeat Wang Yu's 40,000 soldiers, and Jiangdong's full battle was only 100,000 troops, so what could they do to compete with Qingzhou?

It's better to retreat.

Although retreating can't change the balance of power, Qingzhou's strength comes entirely from Wang Yu. There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, Wang Yu became famous as a young man, and he was powerful in the world, who can guarantee that such a person will not die early?

As long as Wang Yu is not in charge, even if the Qingzhou Army sweeps all the territory north of the river, the Jiangdong Army will not have a chance to counterattack. Even if it doesn't work in the end, everyone can talk about the conditions at that time, and come to a good bird to choose a tree to perch, right?

Thinking so in their hearts, all the ministers looked at Sun Ce's gaze, and they all had a little eagerness for it.

"Such a talent, how can it be that the mountains and rivers of Huainan can be stopped? Ben will not shy away from saying that he knows that his ability to govern the government is not as good as him, and his ability to win the hearts of the people is not as good as him, and in terms of craftsmanship, Qingzhou is unique in the world, and it is also not within the reach of this general......"

Sun Ce seemed to intend to carry out the abnormality to the end, but the more he talked, the more modest he became, and in the end, he was a little willing to bow down.

Sun Ce insisted on competing with Wang Yu, and the ministers were worried and tried their best to persuade him. At this moment, Sun Ce suddenly became abnormal, and everyone was also unhappy.

I wanted to persuade a few words, but the previous words were too full, and it was difficult to change my words for a while, and as a result, the Chinese military tent became silent, as if a needle had fallen on the ground, and it was clearly audible.

"The only thing that is not under Wang Yu is the courage to fight! If you don't fight bravely at this moment, do you still want to be safe in the future? The time, the people, and the people are not in me, can only survive by virtue of the location? I can tell you clearly that with the current momentum of Qingzhou, even if you temporarily retreat and hold Huainan, within five years, Jiangdong will be trampled by Wang Yu like an ant! ”

Sun Ce suddenly changed his words and shouted: "My mind has been decided!" This battle is imperative! If you don't succeed, you should report the momentum of becoming benevolent, fight hard, and have no regrets! Those who can trust the general, please leave the discussion, and if you can't believe it, you can return to Shouchun, or even Jiangdong, and the general will not be punished for this! ”

The silence was broken in an instant, and Sun Ce's sonorous and powerful words echoed inside and outside the tent.

"That's it for now, you can choose for yourself." With that, he threw off his cloak and strode out of the tent. Looking at the direction, it should be going to the school field.

The crowd stood still, motionless, as if they had become sculptures.

Chen Wu looked left and right, and suddenly sneered, but he didn't say anything, just chased out of the account.

Zhang Hong and the others grasped the timing of the attack very accurately, at this juncture, even if Sun Ce had insight into everyone's intention to force the palace, it was impossible to carry out a major purge. Cannibalism will only cost the enemy in vain.

Therefore, Sun Ce made the easiest choice, he gave everyone a chance to stand in line. Those who stand with him stay and fight to the death, and the others can retreat to Shouchun with Sun Quan.

Obviously, Sun Ce is about to break the boat!

After the Jiangdong Army, there is definitely no way to continue to maintain the situation of rejecting Zhang Jaw and Pang Tong in the east and joining forces with Cao ** in the north. If Sun Ce continued to stay in Yanzhou to fight, the back road would be cut off by Zhang Jaw, as he himself said, if he didn't succeed, he would become benevolent.

Everyone saw this, but only Chen Wu made a choice without hesitation.

The second person to make a move was Zhu Huan, who also persuaded Sun Ce with the theory of stability, but today, perhaps he was intimidated by Sun Ce's domineering, and he made a completely opposite choice.

He is not good at words like Chen Wu, when he walked to the tent door, he suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "Everyone, Jiangdong can have today's scene, it all depends on the heroism and sharpness of the lord." If you lose this sharpness, I'm afraid that you will only want to be safe in the future. After speaking, he didn't wait to see the reaction of the others, and walked out quickly.

Zhang Zhao and the others were still expressionless, Sun Quan looked uneasy, his eyes kept wandering between the tent door and Zhang Zhao's old face, and his lips were also moving, but after all, he couldn't take a step, nor did he say anything to stay.

After Sun Ce left, everyone's attention was originally on Sun Quan, and after waiting for a long time, knowing that he had made the final choice, for a while they either sighed, or rejoiced, or disappointed, frustrated, and so on.

"Gongfu, the second general will ask you!" Han Dang straightened his armor and slapped Huang Gai's shoulder.

"Righteous father, you ...... Alas! Huang Gai looked extremely excited.

As an old courtier who has followed Sun Jian for many years, of course he doesn't want to see Sun Ce's brothers, but he also understands that even if there is no Sun Quan's statement, Zhang Zhao and others will not bet on Sun Ce's backwater, and will still find another reason as a reason to retreat without a fight.

In fact, from this point of view, Sun Quan is the one who does not behave authentically.

As the eldest brother, Sun Ce is very protective of his younger brothers, especially the older Sun Quan. Sun Ce didn't leave any backhand at all, delegated power in all kinds, and was looking forward to his success, without the slightest suspicion, which was not at all like the style of the princes' house.

Sun Quan led the army to fight and asked Sun Ce for protection, and the latter directly transferred Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to his command. Zhou Tai is a fierce general with infinite strength, when he is said to be a fighting general in Qingzhou, in terms of personal martial arts, except for Sun Ce, only Zhou Tai does not fall behind. Jiang Qin's archery skills are superb, and with such two people by his side, the surname of security will definitely increase a lot.

When the war is approaching and making such a move on the occasion of employing people, Sun Ce's love for his younger brother is beyond doubt.

However, Huang Gai and Han Dang, as retainers, have no room for beak in the family affairs of the main family, so they can only protect one side with Han Dang and try their best to be loyal, just to be worthy of Sun Jian's kindness.

In the end, he could only pat his old partner on the shoulder and say, "Precious!" ”

Zhou Tai stood firmly behind Sun Quan, but Jiang Qin showed a bit of a dilemma, but finally gave up. In the end, only those three generals above the rank of lieutenant followed Sun Ce, but more than eighty percent of the middle-level generals followed.

Wenchen was all left in the account.

Most of the generals are people with surnames, and Wenchen are all famous people from families, they think more about their families, and they can't draw their swords to live and die like the generals, and they act by will.

"Second General, let's go." Zhang Zhao sighed, walked up to Sun Quan, and reminded softly.

……

What kind of impact the Battle of Longshan had on the opponents, Wang Yu didn't know, and he didn't have time to pay attention to such a problem, what he was most concerned about at the moment was the success or failure of Xu Shu's envoy.

Xu Shu asked for orders to pacify the remnants of the Xiliang army, and what he did was not to solve it by force, but to enter the enemy camp alone and solve the problem with eloquence and courage.

From the bottom of his heart, Wang Yu didn't want Xu Shu to go, it was too dangerous. The people of Xiliang are already at the end of their rope, and there is no unified command system, who knows if they will suddenly go crazy? To deal with such an enemy, Wang Yu was certainly not willing to pay the price of losing a general.

However, Xu Shu was very persistent, and the analysis he made was also very incisive, and after hesitation, Wang Yu still agreed to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu has been gone for more than half of two days, and the three-day deadline is about to arrive, but the Xiliang army has not moved. Wang Yu began to worry, and for a while, he couldn't care about paying attention to the Central Plains battlefield and Cao **'s conspiracy.

When he was anxious, the footsteps outside the tent sounded sharply, and Ji Ling stumbled in and shouted: "Lord, the matter is done, General Yuanzhi has succeeded, Liang Xing's soldiers and horses have arrived at Pingtao City and have begun to enter the city!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Yu got up with great joy, and walked to the tent door in three steps and two steps, "Good, so good! Pass the order down, the whole army will be pulled out, and the target is Pingtao City! ”

"Whoa!"

……

Flat pottery.

The gates of the city, which had been closed for several days, were opened, and the city was full of armor soldiers, with swords rattling and heavy guards.

Ma Chao was dressed in iron armor, glanced at his younger brother Ma Dai who was commanding in the city, and saw that the latter nodded and signaled that he was ready.

"Uncle Liang, Uncle Hou really won the three armies, and he actually broke through the interception of Tai Shici's thief, it's really endless! Where is Uncle Lee? Could it be ......" Ma Chao's face was surprised, but the words were hidden and murderous, Liang Xing and the candidates were all slightly cold in their hearts, knowing that a correct answer was not good, and today was the situation of blood splashing the city gate.

Liang Xing smiled and said: "The virtuous nephew said that he was laughing, that Tai Shi Ci is brave and martial, and the Wind Spirit Cavalry under his command is a division of a hundred battles, where can he easily break through?" It's just that he was worried about the casualties of the soldiers, and he couldn't take us for a while, so he simply pretended to be generous and let us go into the city to eat food. ”

Liang Xing and the others took it out alone, and their strength was worse than that of Ma and Han, but together, they were much stronger than Ma and Han combined, and in terms of status, these people were all equals.

Before Ma Chao defeated Han Sui and became the main general, Liang Xing and others were intimidated by his power and regarded themselves as subordinates. Now that the army has vanished, they have reverted to their former name. The advantage of this is that the carriage and horses are laid out, and everyone goes on as usual, so as to avoid conflicts for power.

"That's what I expected!"

Ma Chao sneered: "Wang Yu'er must be triumphant now, he feels that it is not worth paying too much price to deal with our remnants of the defeated army, I am afraid that his mind is all on Cao **." This is just right, then Cao ** is scheming, and even Dong Zhuo is planted in his hands, how can he be a good match? They're fighting for it, and it's time for us to get back on our feet! ”

Liang Xing and the candidate looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

They can also be regarded as Ma Chao's elders, not to mention watching Ma Chao grow up, it's not too much. In their thoughts, Ma Chao at this moment should be depressed, and at worst, he should only have resentment in his heart, like a gambler who loses red eyes. Unexpectedly, Ma Chao's mood was almost the same as before the war.

Seeing that Ma Chao was not in a hurry or impatient, and his calm and calm appearance, Liang Xing and the others felt infinite admiration in their hearts. This admiration is not aimed at Ma Chao, but Xu Shu! He expected it so accurately, it was exactly the same!

If the enemy is the first to take the lead, are you still afraid that the big thing will not happen? (To be continued.) )
