On the way back to the post house, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu rode in front of them, avoiding the people behind them.

Sun Ce didn't turn his head, and asked expressionlessly: "Gong Jin, General Wuguan Wang seems to be particularly jealous of you today, as far as I know, there are only a handful of people who are afraid of fighting in his life, but why are you very wary of you?" He doesn't know much about you, does he? ”

"Maybe it's because of the incident in Jingnan last time!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Sun Ce was silent, and after a long time, he suddenly asked, "Gong Jin, tell me the truth, did you plan that incident?" ”

"I've always said it, no!" Zhou Yu replied indifferently, and then accentuated his tone: "I can only say no!" ”

Sun Ce trembled, understood, obviously this was suing him, except for Zhou Yu himself, no one else knew that this matter was the best, especially the people of the Sun family.

"Hey!" Sighing, he looked back at this good brother, and suddenly said softly: "Gong Jin, in private, General Wang has saved his father's life several times, and his father has a deep affection for him. In the Public, now is by no means the time to break with it. ”

"I know!" Zhou Yu smiled, meaningful. "However, as a retainer, I must also be loyal to my lord!"

"Then there's no need to be in such a hurry!" Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said softly: "Wang Xu, the real dragon also!" Waiting for the dragon to rise in the air, it is difficult to control! ”

This time, Sun Ce didn't answer immediately, and the two rode quietly for a long time before he suddenly said: "I don't know anything, I don't want to know in the future, and I don't want to hear it again, you are Jiangdong's sword and my sibling." I don't want anything to happen to you! ”

"I understand!" Zhou Yu replied with a smile.

Sun Ce smiled. He didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked: "Why do you think General Wang rejected his father's sincerity this time?" This time, my father made a lot of determination and tried his best to make such a decision, but he didn't want such benefits? ”

"Although without his help, we can't take Liu Miao in a short time, but we help him to benefit the state, but he takes a bigger advantage! The so-called compensation. And how much can he compensate? In any case, we in Jiangdong suffered slightly. ”

"It's good for both sides, and he's still reluctant to take advantage of the greater good, which is really strange!"

Zhou Yu looked aimlessly ahead, and after a while, he suddenly said loudly: "I won once, but I despised him, I shouldn't come, if I don't come, and don't participate in the army into Yizhou." I'm afraid this will be the end of the two! ”

"What does that mean?" Sun Ce suddenly heard such inexplicable words, and was a little confused.

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed sharply in an instant: "He saw through my thoughts!" ”

"Thoughts?" Sun Ce chattered to himself. Frowning and pondering for a moment, remembering Zhou Yu's character and way of acting, he suddenly lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Do you want to find an opportunity to attack Jingzhou on the way to help him win the state?" ”

"Hmmm! But it is likely to be suspected. Zhou Yu smiled heartily.

Sun Ce was slightly annoyed: "Such a big matter, why didn't you discuss it first and make a decision on your own?" ”

"It's useless to say it, the lord won't obey orders, and he will stop me!" Zhou Yu shook his head, and then said: "But as a minister, I must do my best to think about the lord, if I can defraud Xiangyang in one fell swoop, Jingzhou will be chaotic, even if he Wang Xu will definitely not be able to suppress it, wouldn't it be easy to take Jingzhou at that time?" From then on, the lord is in Jing and Yang, which can be attacked and defended, and it is bound to be successful! ”

"Taking a step back, even if you don't have the opportunity to attack Xiangyang, you have to take the opportunity to seize Yuzhang, Changsha and other places, that Yuzhang was originally the land of Yangzhou, but it was used by Wang Xu as a springboard to guard against Jiangdong, if you don't take it, it seems to have a sharp blade in the belly, how can you rest assured?"

Sun Ce was a little surprised by Zhou Yu's boldness, and said quickly: "Gong Jin, Liu Xuan has not yet been pacified, and the foundation of Jiangdong is not stable, so if you are in such a hurry, if you anger Wang Xu, the consequences will be unimaginable!" A desperate battle, even if Jingzhou can be severely damaged, it will inevitably be difficult to beat. ”

Zhou Yu obviously disagreed, and retorted: "How can Liu Xu be compared with Wang Xu, Wang Xu is a dragon, he is just a wild wolf, and now he has lost his fangs, so there is nothing to be afraid of." If we suddenly deceive Yuzhang, it will inevitably make Wang Xu dare not enter Shu, and at that time, he will be attacked on both sides, how can he dare to start a full-scale war with us lightly? ”

"After that, you only need to send envoys to the imperial court to ask for the post of pastor in Yangzhou, and you can go to Jingzhou to explain that Yuzhang is the land of Yangzhou. Then, the lord can rebuild the old friendship with him again, and Wang Xu will not dare to start a war on two fronts. ”

"Waiting for Wang Xu to be dragged like this, he can't enter Shu, he can't expand his strength, and when my Jiangdong is completely stabilized, the soldiers are strong and strong, and I am still afraid of him? Then you don't have to look at his face anymore. Although the lord will not do this, we have done it, and the lord will blame a few words at most, and he will not blame him too much. ”

These words obviously moved Sun Ce, and his face changed, but after a long time, he sighed leisurely: "But now that Wang Xu is obviously on guard, how can it be done?" ”

"Hey!" Zhou Yu sighed, also a little frustrated.

Neither of them spoke again, and quietly walked back to the inn......

In the next few days, Wang Xu personally negotiated with the Jiangdong envoys, agreed to a military connection, and made a statement to the whole world to deter the powerful in the north.

In terms of specific affairs, it only involves small-scale military alliance and mutual assistance, as for Jiangdong to send troops to help seize Yizhou, the more Wang Xu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he soon explicitly refused, as for helping to fight Liu Xuan, it was okay, but after Yizhou was pacified, Jiangdong still needed to pay some price.

This is equivalent to not saying, when Wang Xu pacified Yizhou and his power skyrocketed, but the Sun family had not yet taken Liu Xuan, it was impossible for the two sides to be on an equal footing.

Five days later, on the twenty-first day of the lunar month, Sun Ce could only return to Jiangdong with a covenant that he was not very satisfied with!

The year of 196 A.D. is destined to be weird, and the land of China, which has been in war for many years, has ushered in unprecedented peace.

All the princes in the world have died down, except for bandits, there is no war, and Yuan Shaoyan of Hebei has died down and recuperated.

Gongsun Zhan, who has lost his fighting spirit, is still nested in his Youzhou, sitting on the side of the male army, and enjoying himself.

Cao Cao welcomed His Majesty's return to Dingtao, and was even more busy controlling the court, and at the same time further rectifying and stabilizing the two states of Yan and Henan. Originally, he intended to move the capital to Xu County, Yingchuan, as in history, but because Wang Xu stationed heavy troops in Nanyangtun and threatened Yingchuan at all times, he had to move to Jiyin Dingtao further east.

Yuan Shu had earlier sent the general Ji Ling to lead an army to attack Liu Bei, Liu Bei had few soldiers, so he asked Lü Bu in Xuzhou for help, and at the same time, Yuan Shu also wrote a letter to Lü Bu to leave it alone, and both sides were extremely afraid of Lü Bu.

But Lu Bu was worried that Yuan Shu would threaten him after seizing Peiguo, so he intervened. At that time, Ji Ling didn't dare to face Lu Bu and Liu Bei at the same time, and begged Lu Bu not to interfere, Lu Bu pretended to be in a difficult position between Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, so he said let the heavens decide.

Then he placed Fang Tian's halberd in front of the gate of the camp, and he shot the tip of the branch with a bow and arrow at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps. I didn't think that his archery skills were amazing, and he hit it with one stone.

Ji Ling was helpless, did not dare to face the two forces at the same time, and retreated.

Although this made the relationship between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu a little strained, because the two sides were afraid of each other, they could not start a war.

In the Sili region, because the emperor was taken away by Cao Cao, the princes of all sizes lost their positions and were nominally attached to Cao Cao, but they did not completely obey the call, and each occupied the territory to protect itself, but it was also safe for a short time.

Even Xiliang also ceased fire, and Ma Teng and Han Sui united again to reorganize their armies for battle, and it seemed that they wanted to invade Sili in the coming year. Most of the people in the Sili area have already migrated, and the rest are even more desperate when they look at this situation, and a large number of people move south to Hanzhong, or from Wuguan to Nanyang, or cross the Yellow River north to Bingzhou, or east to Yingchuan.

In short, the rich and prosperous Sili appeared thousands of miles of uninhabited scenes, and there was no more grand occasion in the past.

The sudden extinguishment of the smoke was both inconceivable and reasonable, and it is conceivable that what was brewing in the calm was bound to be a more violent storm.

Wang Xu, who is deep in the bustling Xiangyang, still feels the tranquility before the storm, but he has no intention of taking care of other things, he just wants to spend a stable year in the company of his family, and he will embark on the journey again in half a month.

Moreover, this time, he has no way out, whether he loses to Liu Zhang or loses to time, he has no option to retreat, live, or die!
