Jizhou **** strong troops, ready to attack, Zhou Yu successfully raised troops, moved from Guangling to Huai'an, threatening Qingxu and Xuzhou, with Zhou Yu's ability to naturally know how to judge the situation, he even divided 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Huang Gai, faintly threatening Yangzhou in the west, making a direct approach to Shouchun, which made Yuan Shu, who was still entangled with Cao Cao in Qingzhou, greatly shocked, and became more and more unable to sit still.

Yuan Shu wanted to return to Yangzhou, but was dissuaded by Cao Cao, and Guo Jia came to lobby, saying that Zhou Yu's goal was only to contain the soldiers and horses in the direction of Qingzhou, and he would never attack Yangzhou, and Yangzhou also had generals to guard, and the soldiers were well fed, so why be afraid of only 50,000 soldiers and horses?

Yuan Shu's mind was only a little settled, but after all, he was a little panicked, after all, Yangzhou was his base camp, and now that there might be a fire in the backyard, how could he be calm?

Zhou Yu's army marched all the way north, which made Cao Cao feel great pressure, he secretly contacted Tao Qian in Xuzhou, and asked him to send troops and horses to block, and from Guangling to Huai'an did need to pass through a small piece of Xuzhou land, Tao Qian had no choice but to send the general Cao Bao to lead the army to defend the army, and Chen Deng was a strategist to resist the Jiangdong soldiers and horses.

Cao Bao is brave and scheming, and some greedy, and Chen Deng is hearty, quiet and resourceful, but he is also a member of the family, his father Chen Gui is a typical wall grass, the reason why Liu Bei was able to get Xuzhou in history, these two families also contributed a lot of strength.

In the eyes of some families, except for some mad people, there is no eternal enemy, and some families even send their heirs to serve in various princes in order to protect themselves, in order for the family to prosper forever, Zhuge Liang's family is like this, Zhuge Liang is the prime minister of Shu Han in history, but his brother Zhuge Jin served in Eastern Wu, and his brother Zhuge Ke was an official in Cao Cao, which means that no matter which prince can win, the Zhuge family will not be defeated, this is a kind of vision, but it is also a kind of helplessness.

There are many similar examples, countless and countless, and it is not to say who is right and who is wrong, but one thing is certain, if Tao Qian is really defeated, Cao Bao and Chen Deng will definitely not be buried with him!

Compared with the loyalty and death of the generals of Jizhou, the people in these families are not a little bit worse, whether they can't help themselves, or they are scheming, at least the gap is obvious.

Zhou Yu led 350,000 soldiers and horses to continue to march, and Zhang Fan, who got the news, also began to move, he was full of confidence in Zhou Yu, if this person could not defeat Tao Qian in the army, he really needed to face up to Tao Qian's strength, maybe this Tao Qian is a pig and a tiger, stronger than Cao Cao?

Of course, these are all jokes, and Zhang Fan doesn't think this kind of thing will happen.

Now that he was sure, Zhang Fan also began to move, and he found Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Tian Feng and other strategists to ask their opinions.

Tian Feng was calm and said: "We don't know the real combat strength of the Jiangdong Army yet, Sun Ce is not in the army, Zhou Yu may not be able to fully command the Jiangdong Army, when we take a look again, if it really doesn't work, we need to send General Sun back to his army, otherwise the follow-up plan is just empty talk!" ”

His words shocked Zhang Fan, yes, war is not a joke, although Zhou Yu has a great reputation in later generations, but that is also a matter after he grew up, he has a high prestige in the army, so he can be successful, and now Zhou Yu has just gone to Jiangdong, and the calculation time is only half a month, I am afraid that he can't even recognize the name of the grassroots level of the army, can he really command properly? No matter how strong he is, there is a question mark about this.

Zhang Fan seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, his passion gradually extinguished, and he looked at things more and more rationally, and couldn't help but be silent, and at this time he listened to Tian Feng say: "The lord doesn't have to be discouraged, now that the army is **** drilling, the strength of the army can be further improved every day, and it is not a good thing to be late, and we can't do anything, at least Qingzhou can do some articles!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Fan's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Please come carefully, sir!" ”

Tian Feng smiled and looked at Jia Xu: "Mr. Wenhe is still good at these things!" ”

Jia Xu was angry: "You kid mean that I am the best at using intrigue and trickery?" ”

Tian Feng and Xu Shu looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't say anything anymore, which seemed to be a tacit acquiescence, which made Jia Xu angry and funny, the three of them often contacted each other, and they had a very good personal relationship, so they wouldn't be angry, but there were really some helplessness.

Seeing that Zhang Fan also looked at him, Jia Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Although Cao Cao has obtained the entire territory of Qingzhou, his foundation is unstable, and he has suffered a big defeat before, and he has suffered a lot of losses, and it is overstretched to defend Qingzhou and Yanzhou at the same time, and there is an irreconcilable contradiction between him and Yuan Shu, if it can be intensified, it will have a miraculous effect!" ”

"Discord Meter!" Zhang Fan reacted immediately and clapped his hands in praise.

"The Lord is wise!" Jia Xu said: "Now that the young emperor has been ranked, and he holds the jade seal, although Yuan Shu has never recognized his status, but his nature is greedy and brutal, and it is impossible to give up the benefits, the lord can let the young emperor issue a decree, calling Cao Cao a rebel, not worthy of sitting on the land of Qingyan and Yanzhou, and enshrine Yuan Shu as Qingzhou Mu!" In this way, no matter whether Yuan Shu is moved or not, Cao Cao will inevitably be suspicious, the contradiction between the two will become more and more obvious, and even a big war will break out, and then the lord will not have to bother to contain their strength, maybe it can be settled in one go! ”

"Brilliant plan!"

Zhang Fan was amazed and said: "Not only that, but I also have to write several handwritten letters to Yuan Shu, and send people to send gold, silver, war horses and other property, I don't believe that Cao Cao can still sit still!" ”

Several people looked at each other and laughed, at this time Zhang Fan thought about it again, and said: "Although Jizhou is strong now, it cannot be the enemy of the princes of the world at the same time, and should follow the example of King Qin, attack from afar, and take it step by step!" ”

"Lord Shengming!" Jia Xu and the other three were sincerely admired this time, as a courtier, they were most afraid that the lord would get carried away, but Zhang Fan was able to judge the situation and not be arrogant, so that their confidence was a lot more sufficient.

Xu Shu said: "If our army wants to send troops, the first thing to bear the brunt is to merge with the state, Yanzhou, Sili and Yongzhou, where Chang'an is located, and the contradictions between the princes of these places are irreconcilable, even so, we must first stabilize Xiliang Ma Teng, Jiaozhou Shixie, and Yizhou Liu Zhang is busy fighting in Hanzhong, but for the time being, you just need to hand over Ma Teng Shixie!" ”

Zhang Fan thought so, and immediately asked Xu Shu to do it, be sure to make friends with the two, and at least let them not send troops, so as to provide favorable conditions for his own march.

At this point, everything is arranged, and Jizhou is in full swing in preparation, I am afraid that it will not be long before a big war will sweep the world again!

Win and win, lose and win!
