The Cheqi General's Mansion, which was far away in Jianye, finally made a lot of noise. In addition to Qiao Ren and Lu Meng, the two major governors, all the civil and military ministers of Jiangdong came to the council hall, and there was only one thing to discuss, that is, Cao Cao's southern expedition!

"The last general thought that our army should rush to Hefei as soon as possible to assist the former general in resisting Cao Cao. Cao thief went south this time, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, more than 1,000 generals, the momentum is huge, the Hefei front line is our army has worked hard to fight, and he must not be returned to Cao Cao in vain! A middle-aged general wearing fine armor and a bright red robe said loudly, and his anger shook the deafening of a cadre in the hall.

"General Han's words are wrong." Shi Qinsong, the head of the rebellious general in a gray official robe, said: "Cao Cao's army went south, Xuzhou Zang Ba was ordered to come to help the war, Guangling must be empty, it is when our army went north to Xu Si, Qiao Dadu Governor was the world's talent, Cao Thief's 100,000 army could not help him, as long as our army can obtain Guangling, it can be connected to the Western Front Lu Dudu, and the three-way march will be flanked by Cao Thief in Huainan." then the big thing is defined. ”

"What a poisonous strategy," Pan Jun said to Zhuge Jin, the overseer general beside him, in the middle of the car riding in the house, "This Qin Song is not simple!" If this plan is adopted, then the Metropolitan Governor is truly finished. If the lord really went north to occupy Guangling, it would be true that he could win a big victory by attacking Cao Thief on three fronts, but Qiao Dudu needed to resist Cao Cao's 100,000 army for several months, and the losses were simply immeasurable. And if Qiao Dudu failed to resist Cao Cao, Hefei was occupied Cao Cao's army can go straight to Weisu, and then the lord's army will have to return south to deal with Cao's army even if it occupies Guangling, and Qiao Dudu will bear the main responsibility for the strategic defeat, this! Hey~"

Although Zhuge Jin has the style of a gentleman, he is not a fool, how can he not hear Qin Song's intentions, and when he heard Pan Jun sigh, his heart is not good, he can have today thanks to Qiao Ren's recommendation. "And Qin Wenbiao's plan is right on the spot. Although my Huaisi family is called a faction to fight against Jiangdong, but in fact, Huaisi is also divided into Huainan and Xuzhou two lines, such as my Zhuge Jin and the two in the past, including Qin Song, are Xuzhou people, this plan is out, the Huaisi family will be cracked internally, many Xuzhou scholars think about it is not the big interests of our Huaisi faction, but how to fight back to Xuzhou! ”

"Isn't the Governor in danger?" Next to Zhuge Jin sat Han Xuan, who had just been promoted to the subordinate of Dongcao, this Qiao Ren's old subordinate in Xindu County is now also prosperous.

Zhuge Jin smiled indifferently and didn't seem to take Qin Song's strategy to heart at all, "Don't worry, there is also the rear general!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Zhuge Jin's voice fell, a Wenchen sitting next to Sun Ce spoke: "Wenguan's words, if the army enters Xuzhou in the north, then I Hefei is alone in Huainan, don't you dare to ask who dares to guarantee that you can lead the army to garrison Hefei and hold out until the lord returns to the division?" This is a dangerous place! ”

Sun Shao not only explicitly refuted Qin Song's opinion, but also pointed out Qiao Ren's situation, in the case that Zhou Yu could not lead the troops alone, Qiao Ren was the leader of the Huaisi family, if he had three longs and two shorts, how could these rootless Huaisi scholars fight with Jiangdong, who was sitting on the home field. Moreover, Qiao Ren, as Lu Xun's uncle, Zhang Wen's teacher, and Gu Yong's disciple, has become the contact point between Jiangdong and Huaisi at this time, if he is gone, who dares to guarantee that there is someone who can connect the two sides, this is also a key point of Sun Ce's consideration.

"Well, you don't have to say any more. Guangling is only a thousand county soldiers, and they should not go to get it alone. Zhongmou obeyed the order and ordered you to be the main general, Zhu Zhifuzhi and Pan Zhang as the vanguard, and the troops were sent to Guangling, and the rest of the generals followed me to the north. In this battle, Gu personally went out to fight, Gong Jin was the deputy, Zhuge Jin, Pan Jun, and Zhang Gong followed the army, and Sun Shao and Gu Yong stayed behind to defend Jianye. Sun Ce directly interrupted everyone's quarrel and gave the order for the army to go north.

"The lord is wise!" Chen Guan, one of Sun Quan's right-hand men, actually took the lead in the corresponding ranks, which made these Huaisi scholars confused for a while.

"Humph!" However, Pan Jun is a ruthless character who is good at politics and good at speculating on people's hearts, "It turns out that they are aiming for this!" ”

Han Xuan on the side was still in the clouds, so he hurriedly asked, "Chengming, what does it mean to rebel?" ”

"Humph! Sun Zhongmou didn't plan to let the Supreme go north to Guangling in person, his real purpose was to let the Supreme send him to Guangling. Hefei's victory and defeat are only five or five, while Guangling is a must-win game. In the past, he was in charge of Jianye, but this time it was such a good opportunity, how could he Sun Quan ignore it and sit back and watch the credit flow to others! ”

"I see!"

Just when Han Xuan and Pan Jun were figuring out Sun Quan's thoughts, there was another change in the hall. "Lord, the minister thought that Qiao Du Governor must have used the strategy of dividing the troops, Xuzhou Zang Ba and Qingzhou Sun Guan led the army to be stationed in Liyang, but Liyang is surrounded by water on both sides and is close to Chaohu Lake, and the water gate in the south has greatly weakened the fortifications during the period when the Governor of Dadu is in charge. Xunduzhi, did Qiao Dudu want to ask the lord to personally mention the army to recapture Liyang by relying on the benefits of our Jiangdong naval army when Cao Cao was trapped in the Hefei war, so as to flank Cao Cao on both sides. ”

The person who spoke, heroic and handsome, spoke at this time, and the indifference and confidence unconsciously infected the scholars around him, and Zhou Yu next to Sun Ce looked at this scene with a smile.

"What Bo Yan said is very true. The old man also thought that Qiao Dudu must have a deep meaning when he let out Liyang! Zhang Zhao, who had not participated in the core meeting for a long time, suddenly spoke. Although Zhang Zhao's military quality is not very good, his strategic vision is first-class.

"Liyang?" Sun Ce secretly pondered in his heart, from the inside of Cao's army, Xiahoudun was no longer Qiao Ren's opponent, and he was no longer Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's opponent, if Cao Cao was really caught in the war in Hefei, it would be difficult to divide troops to aid Liyang. "What Bo Yan and Zhang Gong said is reasonable, the army temporarily lives in Mixukou, whether to aid Hefei or capture Liyang is determined by the war situation."

"Whoa!"

Sun Ce remembered something again, and asked, "Chengming, what's going on in Nanjun?" ”

Pan Jun, who was named, replied unhurriedly: "Back to the lord, since Guan Yu and Xu Shu of Jingzhou helped our army recapture Jiangxia in the north, they have occupied a county of our army, and they are in a state of being ready to attack. However, the information from Yizhou said that although Liu Bei defeated Pang Xi and Yan Yan of Ba County, Pang Xi surrendered and Yan Yan committed suicide. However, Liu Xian and Yonghong of Qianwei borrowed tens of thousands of troops from the southern barbarians and attacked Yizhou County, and Liu Bei personally led a large army to confront them. The minister estimated that it would be difficult to calm down in March or May. ”

The ministers of Jiangdong thought that they would stab Liu Bei in the back when he went north, and they were naturally afraid that Liu Bei would make such a move, but since Liu Bei was restricted by the Nanban, the last hidden danger in the northeast of the river was also removed.

"Good! The generals obeyed the order, and after three days, the art of war was wet! Sun Ce stood up and said loudly, he Sun Ce could finally go on the Northern Expedition in person after holding back for several years.
