Zhou Yu clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it into the palm of his left hand, and sighed dejectedly.

The banquet at Zhou Yu's mansion was also dispersed, and before Zhou Yu had time to enter the cave room, he received a military report from Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai who had been urgently delivered back from the front line of Hefei for 600 miles. This military report was originally presented to Sun Ce, but Sun Ce was drunk, so he turned to Zhou Yu's side. Zhou Yu saw it, and was shocked, what he was most worried about had finally happened, and he didn't care about spending candles in the cave room, so he flew to the Taishou Mansion to see Sun Ce, who knew that Sun Ce was drunk and unconscious, which made Zhou Yu sigh.

Originally, with the friendship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu could enter Sun Ce's room without summoning him and wake him up directly, but now it is different from the past, Sun Ce is in the cave room, and Zhou Yu can't break in no matter what, so he has to let the attendant go to report.

But the attendant didn't dare to go in, and only called a few times outside the door. Da Qiao didn't sleep, it is estimated that she is depressed, and other people's cave room flowers and candles are Lang Qing concubines who want you and me, but Sun Ce is good, he is simply too drunk to wake up, and he was still carried into the bedroom by a few close attendants. At this time, the sound was like thunder, and he was drunk. The attendant outside the door reported that General Zhou had something important to see, Da Qiao shook Sun Ce, but Sun Ce didn't wake up at all, she reprimanded the attendant angrily, and the attendant had to go out in disgrace.

"That's it, I'll wait here, you go inside and see, when the lord wakes up, notify me immediately!" Zhou Yu had no choice but to give up his plan to wake up Sun Ce immediately.

The attendant looked at Zhou Yu, who was dressed in new clothes, and then looked at the cold weather, hesitated for a moment and said, "General Zhou." This wind and cold dew are heavy, and today is your good day, otherwise you should go back and rest, the lord woke up, and the old slave immediately sent someone to report to General Zhou. ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "No need, I'm still waiting like this, you can go." ”

The attendant didn't want to say anything more, so he sang a promise and retreated.

Zhou Yu pressed his sword in his hand. Standing straight outside the door. Let the dew wet his new clothes.

When Sun Ce woke up, it was already dawn, he rubbed his swollen temples, and looked at Da Qiao, who was wearing a pure wedding dress for the newlyweds, leaning on the edge of the couch and falling asleep. Sun Ce couldn't help but smile bitterly. This cave room has spent a miserable night. Sun Ce thought about it, Zhou Yu wasn't drunk yesterday. This kid is much happier than him, the jade man is in his arms, and he doesn't know how many times he will have to give up after the spring festival. Look at Da Qiao's delicate face. As soon as he carried Da Qiao to the couch, he heard the attendant shouting outside the door: "Lord, General Zhou is asking to see her outside." ”

Sun Ce had no choice but to give up his current plan, and it seemed that this fragrant meal would have to be enjoyed again in the evening. Da Qiao didn't sleep all night, and now she is so sleepy that she can't open her eyes, muttering a few words in her mouth, and she didn't wake up, Sun Ce dragged the brocade to cover her, dressed neatly, and went out to see Zhou Yu.

As soon as they met, Sun Ce smiled and said, "Gong Jin, why didn't you sleep with the beauty in your arms early in the morning, but ran over." ”

The attendant said beside him: "Lord, General Zhou has already come last night, and when he saw that the lord was drunk, he didn't dare to disturb, and he had been waiting outside the door for a night." ”

Sun Ce raised his head and said with a smile: "It seems that this wine is really a mistake!" Is there something important for Gong Jin? ”

Zhou Yu immediately presented Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's letter, Sun Ce only glanced at it, his expression became stern, and after talking about the whole content for a while, Sun Ce sighed lightly: "Gong Jin is really like a god, Liu Ze really took Hefei, we are one step late, one step late!" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Under the current shape, Hefei is the top priority for both sides, since Hefei has fallen into the hands of Liu Ze, no matter how sorry it is, it will not help, I don't know what the lord has to deal with?" ”

Sun Ce pondered for a moment and said, "Gong Jin, in your opinion, what is the chance of our army going all out to recapture the fat?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head lightly and said: "Under Liu Ze's account, Zhang Liao is one of the three major governors, and it can be said that Liu Ze is the most relied on general. It doesn't matter how much chance our army can win to take Hefei, what matters is whether the lord is ready for a full-scale war with Xuzhou? ”

Sun Ce fell into contemplation, his impression of Liu Ze was still in the period when the princes were begging for Dong, that year, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he had already fought in Luoyang with his father, Liu Ze's archers left a deep impression on him, it was an invincible and invincible land division, so many years have passed, Sun Ce has always remembered the battle of Liu Ze's archers and cavalry duel and state wolf cavalry in front of the Tiger Prison Pass. If it comes to water warfare, Sun Ce can boast that there is no water army in the world that is on the right side of the Jiangdong water army, but in land warfare, Sun Ce really does not have his own foot soldiers and has the certainty of a duel with Liu Ze's archers. What's more, the situation in Jiangdong was initially decided, and the old forces of the original parties were still ready to move, Liu Miao fled to Yuzhang and Yuzhang Taishou Huaxin united, plotting Jiangdong all the time, Liu Biao in Jingzhou had an enmity with the Sun family, and he could raise troops to attack at any time. Choosing this moment to start an all-out war with Liu Ze in Xuzhou is definitely a thing that outweighs the loss.

"According to Gongjin's opinion, what should we do?"

Zhou Yu also saw Sun Ce's hesitation, and said: "My Jiangdong army is strong in the water army, weak in the infantry cavalry, the army of Xuzhou is strong in the infantry cavalry, and weak in the naval army, if we want to win the battle with Liu Ze, we must make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses, but the land of Jianghuai is not the place where our naval army can be used." Although Yuan Shu is not dead, we still have something to borrow, but the war between Jiangdong and Xuzhou must be a protracted war, and with the initial situation of Jiangdong, we are really unable to support this war. In Yu's opinion, it is better to retreat to the mouth of the water, and strive to ensure that the waterway into the river is not lost, and Liu Ze demarcates the border and governs, and when the time is ripe in the future, it is not too late to attack Hefei. ”

Sun Ce nodded and said: "Gongjin's intention is exactly what I want, this time I crossed the river, our army has done its best in Wancheng, Shuxian, and Liyang, and in general, it is still quite a harvest." Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were ordered not to engage the Xuzhou army, and quickly retreated to Weisu to hold on. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu's shoulders wet with dew, and said with a smile: "It's hard for Gongjin to wait here all night, this matter is so decided, Gongjin should go back to rest early, snubbing the beauty, but it's not good." ”

Zhou Yu reluctantly smiled, but the laughter was full of loneliness.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Liu Ze's laughter was much more hearty, and after receiving Zhang Liao's battle report, Zhang Liao finally took Hefei before the Jiangdong Army, and Liu Ze's hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach.

This matter is very accidental, Sun Ce captured Wancheng and fell in love with the Qiao family beauties in Wancheng, and then he and Zhou Yu took Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao away one by one, but they achieved two heroic and beautiful stories. But Sun Ce patronized the beauty in Anhui City, lost the best opportunity to take Hefei, and when he came to his senses and sent Jiang Qin Zhou Tai to lead his troops to take Hefei, how could the two legs of the Jiangdong soldiers outrun the four hooves of the Xuzhou light cavalry, and when they arrived at the city of Hefei, the dust had already settled.

Liu Ze's order to Zhang Liao was to take Hefei at any cost, even if the Jiangdong soldiers had already captured Hefei, they would not hesitate to take it back by force. But Sun Ce did not have Liu Ze's bearing, he had many worries, and never dared to make up his mind to compete with the Xuzhou army in Hefei. In the end, Sun Ce chose to retreat and gave up Hefei.

Originally, it was planned to have a desperate battle in Hefei, because Liu Ze grabbed the initiative of the first hand and Sun Ce, and finally turned the war into a jade silk, and the two sides tacitly understood each other to demarcate their respective spheres of influence with Chaohu Lake as the boundary. The area east and south of Chaohu Lake became the territory of Jiangdong, and the area west and north of Chaohu Lake became the jurisdiction of Xuzhou.

Hefei, will become a Jiangdong Sun heart a piece of eternal pain, in history Sun Quan five attacks on Hefei and cannot, until the death of Wu, Sun has never had the opportunity to touch Hefei, Hefei for Sun Wu, is a stalk in the throat, but can never be removed. It is precisely because of this strategic consideration that Liu Ze wants to fight for Hefei at any cost, and there is something to do in the south of the Yangtze River in ancient times, from nine out of ten quarrying ferrymen and one tenth from Jingkou ferry, because the quarrying ferry is the narrowest place in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and controlling Hefei is equivalent to choking the throat of Jiangdong, attacking and retreating, and firmly controlling the initiative in Jianghuai.

Due to the fact that the line was too long, it was unlikely that Sun Ce, who had already occupied Wancheng, would cross the Dabie Mountains to the north and attack the Huaixi counties, but despite this, Liu Ze still sent a brigade of the Eighth Division of the Fourth Army to sweep westward across Yangquan, Anfeng, Yiyang, and Lu'an counties, and take the jurisdiction of these counties. The counties of Huaixi were originally Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, but after Yuan Shu was besieged Shouchun, he urgently transferred the soldiers of Huaixi counties Qin Wang, and now the Huaixi counties are basically empty cities, almost no enemy soldiers, the second brigade of the eighth division 3,000 men and horses drove all the way to the wind, the counties of Huaixi looked at the wind and fell, the second brigade soldiers regained more than ten county towns in Huaixi without blood, and the soldiers pointed directly at Longshu County, and Shu County, Anhui County under the control of the Jiangdong Army.

This time, Sun Ce's sneak attack on Anhui City was successful, but he gave Liu Ze a wake-up call, the eggs in his basket belonged to him, although the Huaixi counties were already their own dishes, but they did not take it down in person, it was never very reassuring, so Liu Ze still sent an army to take the Huaixi counties and solved his worries.
