Chapter 284: Sun's flickering, Zhou Yu's scheming
Xuzhou, one of the thirteen states, borders the North Langya Kingdom with Qingzhou Beihai Country and Donglai County, and there are many people, all of whom are important towns in the Central Plains.
In the early winter, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu made a plan of [Ming Xiu Plank Road, Secret Chen Cang], secretly sent troops and horses north, but took advantage of Cao Cao's inattention to capture Xuzhou several counties, and then invaded Langya and Pengcheng with heavy troops
Sun Ce's achievements on the battlefield in Xuzhou made Sun Quan anxious, so in the depths of winter, Sun Quan decided to be handsome!
In fact, the Sun clan did not have a real governor in Xuzhou, even Zhou Yu was only the governor of the Jiangxia Navy at this time, and in the north and Xuzhou and other places, before the war, the various guards were not subordinate to each other
That is, this winter, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's plan once again pushed the crippled Sun Ce himself to the position of the governor of Xuzhou!
So, after seeing the victory in Xuzhou, Sun Quan, who was anxious to make some achievements, was ruthless in his heart, and recalled Sun Ce in the name of his mother in the house, and even let his cronies Lu Meng go north to Xuzhou to take over the military and political affairs everywhere, and at the same time, in order to fully control the counties of Jiangdong and appease the new and old generals of Sun Ce's family in Xuzhou, Sun Quan transferred Tai Shici, who had been defending against Wei Rui of the Chu army in the east and west of the river, to Xuzhou
Tai Shi Ci, the fierce general who surrendered because of Sun Ce's martial arts and righteousness, is one of the generals who only surrendered to Sun Ce in the true sense!
It's a simple plan, but it's surprisingly effective!
In Sun Ce's eyes, from beginning to end, he only valued two things, one was Sun's, and the other was affection! As for courage and fame, they are nothing more than derivatives and additions built on these
And Sun Ce's temperament happened to be what Sun Quan thought he knew, so

"Eldest Prince, you really went back so easily?!" The young Lu Xun has not achieved much in terms of power schemes. His face was full of pity and anger, "Xuzhou's Cao army has been defeated and retreated, as long as the heavy snow retreats, our army can take advantage of the situation and chase the Central Plains!" β
"If the eldest prince returns to Wu County at this time, then what should the situation in Xuzhou be?!" Lu Xun showed a hint of anxiety between his words.
"Hehehe..."Sun Ce is only thirty years old. But his temples are gray, but this does not make him old, but shows more wisdom and majesty; He smoothed the gray bun on his ears and said with a comforting smile: "Don't worry, Boyan, the current situation in Xuzhou is very good, and the remnants of Cao's army in Langya and Pengcheng will also be solved after the heavy snow retreats, and Xuzhou is under control!" β¦β
When Lu Xun heard this, his brows frowned slightly, but he suddenly understood in his heart. The eldest prince of himself plans to give the credit for the strategy of Xuzhou to the lord Sun Quan, who has not yet made an inch of success.
"Besides, although Ziming is young, his military talent is not bad, and he may have a lot of gains if he presides over the war in Xuzhou, but it is unknown! Sun Ce said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, I don't know whether to comfort Lu Xun or comfort himself...
"The eldest prince..."Lu Xun called softly. It seemed that he wanted to continue to say something, but Sun Ce directly interrupted him. "Well, now that it's decided, I'm not going to change it!"
"Bo Yan, you are a good student to assist Lu Ziming, and when you study for a few more years, I will let you show your talents! β¦β
"Yes. Big Prince! Lu Xun replied in a deep voice, he has already been engaged to Sun Ce's daughter, and sooner or later it will be his own family, and this Jiangdong belongs to the Sun family, so he naturally basically obeys Sun Ce's arrangement.
β¦β¦
Lv Meng. Young and frivolous, full of enthusiasm and ambition, but these are not shortcomings for him who has a good mind.
In the depths of winter, when LΓΌ Meng arrived in Xuzhou, he did not make too many changes to the two armies of Xiapi and Guangling, but directly gathered the male troops in Donghai County between Langya and Pengcheng counties!
Two months ago, Cao Cao sent 70,000 people to take down Pi, and Zang Ba 30,000 people attacked Quyang, but in less than a month, he was defeated by Sun Ce of [Darkness Chen Cang]!
Therefore, it is okay to be full of favors, even if it is defeated, it still gathers no less than 40,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to Pengcheng, and Zang Ba has a total of only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it is a new defeat in the cold winter, so after a defeat in Quyang, Zang Ba retreated again and again, and lost Donghai County in October, only Sheng was less than 10,000 people, and insisted on Langya County
The so-called [three fires for new officials to take office], not to mention that he is still a young and vigorous governor!
LΓΌ Meng directly ordered the deputy governor Tai Shi Ci to lead a heavy army to garrison Xiapi and look at Pengcheng, while he himself, with Zhu Ran and a few others, sent heavy troops to attack Langxi County at the end of the year!
Langxie County, garrisoned by Zang Ba's remnants, was already hard under the attack of the Sun family and Qingzhou Yuan Tan, and now although Qingzhou Yuan Tan was too busy to take care of himself, but in the face of the belligerent and powerful Lu Meng, how could he still resist? !
Just a few days after the New Year's Pass, Zang Ba lost Langxie County, and the remnants of the army returned to Taishan County!
And Lu Meng, who obtained Langxie County, was not satisfied with this, he heard that Cao Ren of the Cao clan was gradually attacking Qingzhou, so he also left only the defenders, so he immediately sent troops to the northeast, intending to compete with Cao Ren for Beihai and Donglai County!
So, there is the current situation!
Cao's and Sun's are competing for Yuan Tan's Qingzhou
β¦β¦
At the same time, Zhou Yu, who was used as bait, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command dug up the water from the dark, which led to the stalemate in the battle of Jiangxia, and he led his troops to gradually retreat, and stopped to train the naval army in the Yangtze River basin between Jiangxia and Lujiang!
"Gong Jin, now that you and the eldest prince's plan for Xuzhou has been completed, the north of the Sun family has opened a mouth, and I will not be afraid of the predicament in the future..."Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu, "But it has also completely angered Cao Cao, and he will definitely be attacked extremely severely in the spring of next year, I wonder if Gong Jin has thought of a way to deal with it?!" β
"Now that the situation in Jiangxia is not bad, do you want to further ally with the Marquis of Chu, attack Cao Cao, and leave all of his 200,000 troops in Jiangxia!" 'Honest' Lu Su rarely showed a ruthless face and asked Zhou Yu.
"No hurry! When Zhou Yu heard this, he was not worried, but chuckled lightly on his face: "Zijing, you see that I have withdrawn from the army so far, almost withdrawing from Jiangxia, what do you think?!" β
"Su is stupid, I think it's Gong Jin that you have a plan and plan to withdraw from the Jiangxia competition," Lu Su was stunned when he heard this, and then Mu Mu said: "However, from the point of view of Su, it is still the alliance of Chu Hou before he can retreat Cao Cao!" Otherwise, the land of Xuzhou and Jianghuai will not be safe! β¦β
"Zijing also thinks I'm going to quit Jiangxia?!" Zhou Yu was surprised and proud, and explained slightly: "If Lian Zijing also thinks like this, then Yu's plan, how can it not be impossible?!" β
"Huh? Is Gong Jin retreating into a plan this time?! Why?! (To be continued.) )
