The first camp, the close relatives of the Sun family headed by Xu Kun. Xu Kun's mother is Sun Jian's younger sister, and after Sun Jian's disappearance, this Mrs. Sun's influence in the Sun family is only under Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu. In addition, the Xu family is also a wealthy family in Jiangdong, and the family power should not be underestimated, with such an identity background, and Xu Kun is much older than the Sun brothers, so Xu Kun's status by Sun Ce's side is the same as Wu Jing's side today. No matter how strong Sun Ce and Sun Quan are, many things, they have to discuss with Xu Kun and Wu Jing, or not, they must also inform them before making a decision.

The second camp, Sun Jian's old department headed by Cheng Pu. Cheng Pu Han Dang and others, since Sun Jian, have been following the Sun family, although they are not related by blood, but in fact they are closer than their relatives, and they have made great achievements on the battlefield, saving Sun Jian and Sun Ce in danger many times. Theoretically speaking, the status of Cheng Pu Handang and others should be above Xu Kun, but because of their identity, they were suppressed by Xu Kun, which caused everyone to be somewhat dissatisfied. But no matter what, Xu Kun is also an old man who follows the Sun family, and it is somewhat reasonable for Xu Kun to have his current status. Therefore, the real contradiction is actually the third camp.

The third camp, Sun Ce's cronies led by Zhou Yu. These people have a close relationship with Sun Ce, and they are basically young people, or newcomers, such as Zhou Yu, such as Tai Shici, because of Sun Ce, they have got a lot of opportunities, and in a short period of time, they have reached the point where they can be compared with Cheng Pu and others. Maybe in terms of official position, it is not as good as Cheng Pu, Xu Kun and others, but in terms of status, the three camps are not far apart, and even sometimes, this group of young people will climb on the head of those old people?

Why? Sun Ce wasn't on the first day, wouldn't he be able to deal with the relationship between the people below?

No! In the final analysis, it is Zhou Yu. It's not that Zhou Yu is too proud and looks down on the old ministers, on the contrary, Zhou Yu behaves very humbly in front of Cheng Pu and others, even if Cheng Pu verbally insults Zhou Yu several times, Zhou Yu has never cared, it stands to reason that Zhou Yu's performance should be easy to convince people. It's a pity that under Sun Ce, Zhou Yu is a rare wise general. This leads to the fact that many times, in the face of some unexpected situations, it is Zhou Yu who is making suggestions, and when this advice is put on the battlefield, it becomes pointing fingers, and even exceeding his authority.

In the eyes of Cheng Pu and others, Zhou Yu didn't ride on their heads, did he? You, a young man, have what qualifications to command them? Of course, everyone also understands in their hearts that you Zhou Yu is smart and the plan you come up with is effective, but Cheng Pu and the others are not the first day to lead the troops, and they naturally have their own set of solutions to solve the problem.

It can be said that unless one day they really encounter a problem that Cheng Pu and others can't solve, but Zhou Yu can solve, otherwise, Cheng Pu and others will never really be convinced by Zhou Yu!

To be honest, when he first saw Lu Meng's reply, Sun Quan was worried for a while, because in Sun Quan's impression, Zhou Yu was quite a proud person. Both sides are tough, and there are thorns on both sides, I'm afraid something will really happen. But Sun Quan didn't expect that Zhou Yu would be so tolerant, no matter whether there was a reason behind this for Sun Ce to talk to Zhou Yu, at least the situation in the west would not be chaotic for a while.

Although Sun Quan doesn't know how long this balance can be maintained, as long as the west is okay now, and Sun Ce and Lu Meng are okay that Sun Quan is worried about, then Sun Quan can have no worries and concentrate on attacking Lu Bu!

······

soon

Sun Quan sent troops from Guangling and went north to Xuzhou, and this time, he almost poured out of the nest, leaving Guangling as an empty city. At the same time, Sun Quan also ordered Zhang Xun and others, who were on Shouchun's side to collect the remnants of the army, and after reorganizing the army, they marched directly to Huaiyin and other places to support him from the side. As for whether the last group of people can come, or whether they can arrive in time, Sun Quan has no hope.

And just a few days after Sun Quan sent out his troops, he got a piece of news that made him overjoyed. Of course, this news is good news for Sun Quan, but for Jiang Dongjun, it is not easy to say.

It turned out that because of Cao Cao's sudden attack, Lu Bu had indeed sent the army back to the rescue. But I don't know if it was because Lu Bu was too seriously injured, or for other reasons, Lu Bu did not return with the army this time, but stayed in Huaiyin to guard. Those who followed Lu Bu naturally did not have too many troops left, so this could be called the best time for Sun Quan to kill Lu Bu.

However, Lu Bu was the spiritual leader of Lu Bu's army after all, even if he couldn't fight, just standing there was an incentive for morale. Yes, if Lu Bu is here, this Huaiyin must not be so easy to attack.

As he approached Huaiyin, Sun Quan began to slow down his march and advance cautiously, and as a result, he waited until his Jiangdong army reached the city of Huaiyin, but did not suffer any ambush.

"It seems that this Lu Bu is single-minded and wants to defend to the end." Under Huaiyin City, Wu Jing looked at the city wall that was not shorter than Guangling City and said.

"Uncle, you said that with Lu Bu's personality, I rode a red rabbit horse out to call for battle, can he bear it?" Sun Quan asked, looking up at the opposite city wall, but he didn't find Lu Bu's figure on it.

"It's hard to say."

Wu Jing shook his head after thinking about it,

"Lu Bu is not a fool, if it was in his heyday, he might not be able to stand your agitation, but now that he is injured, it is estimated that he has already ordered his subordinates, no matter how we shout outside, no one will inform him."

"What about besieging but not attacking?" Sun Quan asked again.

Wu Jing still shook his head,

"Xuzhou is the granary of the world, Lu Bu is fully prepared to work this time, since he decided to defend it early on, he must have left enough grain and grass. I'm afraid that even if we surround it for three or five months, it won't have any effect. Wu Jing speculated.

Sun Quan's brows furrowed,

"If we can attack strongly, even if we are lucky enough to capture Huaiyin, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

In the end, if Lu Bu was allowed to take the opportunity to escape again, then Sun Quan would really lose more than he gained.

"yes. Otherwise, we simply bypass Huaiyin and take other nearby cities instead. Wu Jing couldn't help but suggest, "At that time, if Lu Bu doesn't come out like a shrinking turtle, we won't get nothing; And if Lu Bu can't help but come out, it will lead the snake out of the hole, and the field battle is much easier to fight than the siege war. ”

"Uncle, this is indeed a good way for you." Sun Quan nodded immediately, if he couldn't think of any other way, he could only do what Wu Jing said, but, "I still want to try it first." Sun Quan said.

"Try what? Trying to siege the city? Wu Jing was a little stunned.

Sun Quan shook his head,

"I won't do this kind of thing of hurting the enemy by 800 and losing 1,000 myself, after all, after beheading Lu Bu, I still want to snatch Xiapi." As he spoke, the corners of Sun Quan's mouth hooked slightly,

"What I want to try is to see if I can sneak into the city and assassinate Lu Bu!"

Go deep into the enemy camp, silence the silence, and take the head of the person. This is the happiness and enmity that Sun Quan has always longed for, and the rivers and lakes are simple and refreshing!
