The southernmost part of Xuzhou was Guangling County, the first county that Sun Ce occupied when he went north, and it was also his largest garrison outside of Yangzhou, and he even used it as a northern base to confront Cao Cao at Xiapi

In Huaiyin County, Sun Ce's residence

Regarding the changes in the situation in the north and the impact it brings, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are naturally very clear in their hearts, and now the two are also discussing this matter

"Gong Jin, Yuan Shao unified the four states of Hebei, with millions of troops, and now that he is about to go south, do we want to fight with Cao Cao?" Sun Ce stood at the door of the main hall, pressed the sword in his hand, looked into the distance, frowned and asked;

"How could Bo Fu think like that?!" As soon as Zhou Yu heard what Sun Ce said, he was immediately surprised: "Why do you want to unite with Cao Cao?!" ”

"Yuan Shao has millions of soldiers, if Cao Cao is defeated, won't we be cold?!" Sun Ce explained;

"Bo Yan, what do you think?" Zhou Yu didn't answer and asked the fourteen or five-year-old young man next to him;

"Teacher, Bo Yan thinks, I should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" The young man named 'Bo Yan' bowed his hand and replied;

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu heard this, they turned their heads to look at the disciple that Zhou Yu had just received, and asked, "Why?!" ”

Bo Yan bowed his hand again and said: "Although Yuan Shao has millions of soldiers, his ambition is big and his wisdom is small, his color is strong and timid, he is jealous and less powerful, he has many soldiers and the division is not clear, and he will be arrogant and the government orders are different, so even if he has a lot of land and grain, he can't beat Cao Cao lightly!" ”

"Yuan Shao can't win lightly, so we should naturally sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for the opportunity!" Bo Yan said what he thought in two sentences, his Lu family is a Confucian scholar, and he has a deep relationship with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other Yuan families, so he can understand Yuan Shao so well;

Zhou Yu listened, nodded constantly, and agreed: "Bo Yan, although you are talented and intelligent, but you were born in a Confucian family, and you have studied Confucian scriptures and political guidelines since you were a child, and you are even more profound than me in political affairs. ”

Zhou Yu said, turned his head to look at Sun Ce, and analyzed: "Bo Fu, as Bo Yan said, we don't need to ally with Cao Cao at all, but we don't sit back and watch the tiger fight!" ”

"That's!?" Sun Ce was puzzled: "Didn't you take the opportunity to attack Cao?!" If that's the case, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated, and then won't we face Yuan Shao's million-strong army?! ”

"Definitely! Definitely! Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "The lord knows that there are three heroes around my Jiangdong, Xu Yu Cao Cao, Jingnan Liu Xiu, and Jingbei Liu Biao!" ”

"Among the three heroes, Cao Cao is the strongest, but now Cao Cao needs to face Yuan Shao's million-strong army, once the difference is a millimeter, it is a mistake, so we should wait for the opportunity for Cao Cao!"

"Jingnan Liu Xiu, although he occupies the land of the Southern Barbarian and the Southern Wilderness, all of the generals under his command are strong, and the troops are not inferior to us, besides, it is reported that Liu Xiu should be sending troops to the Southern Barbarians recently, so I can't compete with him for the time being!"

"Only Jingbei Liu Biao, who ordered Huang Zu to guard Jiangxia, now the rest of the two males around Jiangdong are busy elsewhere, we just take this opportunity to attack Jiangxia, Jingbei and other places, Bo Fu also wants to find Huang Zu to avenge the murder of his father?!"

"Exactly!" When Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's last sentence, he didn't think about anything anymore, and shouted: "Huang Zu, I will kill him!" ”

"In the past, it was the foundation of Jiangdong, and I fought in the south and the north, and I had no time to take revenge, but today there is an opportunity, and I must avenge this deep revenge!"

Sun Ce's face was hideous, gritting his teeth, and he looked like he was choosing someone to eat

Lu Boyan, who was listening from the side, also nodded secretly, as if comparing what he was thinking

"Besides, even if you don't look for Cao Cao's alliance, presumably Cao Cao will find it!" Zhou Yu said again: "When the time comes, Bofu, you can have a lion and open your mouth!" ”

"Oh?!" Sun Ce was surprised: "Really?!" ”

"Hahaha," Zhou Yu immediately nodded and laughed

"Gong Jin is worthy of being the heir of Yin and Yang!"

Not to mention that the Cao, Yuan, and Sun families began to dispatch troops, and the rest of the princes in the world were not idle, and there were countless conspirators

In Xu Du alone, there are also many forces

In the Xudu Imperial Palace, the little emperor Liu Xie also convened his henchmen Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Wang Zifu, Xu Huang and others to discuss the matter, after all, Yuan Shao's unification of the north has been rumored all over the world;

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Yuan Shao is in Hebei, I wonder if he can be summoned south to King Qin?" The little emperor said anxiously;

"Cao Cao's eagle dog controls the court, I'm afraid that this edict will be difficult to reach Hebei!" Dong Cheng frowned;

"It's difficult, and Your Majesty doesn't need to do it!" Fu Wan thought about it and said: "Since Yuan Shao has unified the four states of Hebei, his ambition must be not small, and he must be about to attack Cao Cao in the future!" ”

"At that time, Your Majesty may be able to take this opportunity to get rid of the control of the Cao thief!"

"Not bad!" When the little emperor heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Not bad, not bad!" It's better to rely on others than on yourself, I have you and tens of thousands of Xiliang troops, and I will definitely be able to get rid of Cao thief! ”

"Exactly!" Fu Wan said again: "Now that Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others are under house arrest and Xu Du by Cao Cao, Your Majesty can issue a secret edict to ask them to help each other, presumably these two will not be reconciled to the current situation!" ”

"Good! In addition to these people, plus my army, there will definitely be a chance to fight back! Liu Xie said with a smile, and then prepared the famous 'clothes and belt edict' in history

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Xu Huang again, these days, he has seen the power of many civil and military generals under Cao Cao, and he is also more concerned about these people under his command, especially Xu Huang, but he has trained his soldiers and horses extremely strongly

"Gongming, how many soldiers and horses do we still have to guard the palace now?"

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 10,000 people!" Xu Huang said solemnly;

"Damn Cao Cao, he has divided and disintegrated my army of 20,000 so much! Hateful! When Liu Xie heard this, he said angrily;

Xu Huang was also silent, after all, he and His Majesty were now under the fence

After Liu Xie was angry, he asked a sword-wielding guard beside him, "Master Wang, how is Feng Er's health?" ”

The 'Wang Shi' shook his head and said, "Even if you practice some swordsmanship, after all, you are young, and the prince's body is still getting weaker and weaker!" ”

"Hey, isn't it really heaven blessing?!" When Liu Xie heard this, he sighed again

The next day, where Xu Du Liu Bei and Lu Bu lived, there were also different movements at the same time
