Chapter 45: Sun Ce's Fall
Cao Cao's current mood can be said to be extremely cool, and half of his dream over the years has been completed.
The whole north is under control, and it is no longer out of reach from that step.
But Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang couldn't be happy at all.
Guan Zhang and the others went missing, which made Liu Bei panic all of a sudden, if it weren't for Kong Ming's joining, and Zhao Yun suddenly came to defect, he probably even wanted to commit suicide.
"Sir, I wonder what I should do now? Cao thief unified the north, and the next step must be to invade Xuzhou and prepare to settle the Central Plains. ”
After Kong Ming got married, he joined Liu Bei's team for more than a month, and now it seems that he is a little more mature.
He pondered for a moment before he said: "The lord doesn't need to worry too much, Cao Cao has just taken over Yuan Shao's territory, and after the battle, he has also lost his vitality, and it is impossible to send troops to Xuzhou immediately." The top priority at the moment is to recruit and train troops as soon as possible, reassure the people, and then let Cao Cao throw a mouse. ”
Liu Bei sighed, thinking that this was the only way, no one was strong in the situation, and it was still necessary to develop silently.
I just don't know how my second and third brothers are doing?
Xu Du.
Cao Cao won a great victory, and his subordinates had their own people to manage post-war affairs, so he put his mind on winning over Guan Yu.
A few days ago, Guan Yu said that he was going to leave and go to Xuzhou to find his eldest brother.
But Cao Cao made up an excuse, saying that Xuzhou now has no owner at all, and Liu Bei was attacked by thieves last time, and his life and death are unknown.
If it is placed in the future generations, this kind of lie will be broken as soon as it is poked, but now that it is difficult to even send a letter, Guan Yu can only believe it temporarily.
Under the service of beautiful women and wine, Guan Yu has a bit of a taste of joy, after all, his heart just likes to be held, and Cao Cao has done an impeccable job in this regard.
If it weren't for his reputation, Guan Yu would have worshiped him as the lord a long time ago, so Guan Yu's mood at the moment is also extremely complicated.
Compared to them, the most comfortable person is Zhang Fei.
After being separated from Liu Bei, he directly found a mountain, occupied the mountain as the king, drank and had fun leisurely every day, and didn't want to think about anything.
All of this was seen by Ye Hui.
"Sir, why didn't you stand up and explain when you knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had gone astray?" Cai Yan asked puzzled.
Ye Hui smiled and replied, "How do you know that they are going astray, in case they are all enjoying their current life now, wouldn't it be a sin for me to break such a peace?" ”
After getting along with Liu Bei for a while, Ye Hui naturally knew that in fact, the relationship between the three brothers was not as good as he imagined.
This is also an obvious thing, after all, Liu Bei has been in the mix for so many years, and he has not really become strong.
And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both willing to follow because they believed that Liu Bei was a relative of the Han family, and it might be easy to make a fortune.
The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not saints, so they naturally have their own thoughts, of course, it is a bit too much to say that they are no longer willing to follow Liu Bei, but they just need a little time for each other to relax.
But these have nothing to do with Ye Hui, he has already sent a Kong Ming out, and he can ignore these trivial matters for the time being.
The most important thing now is that the Jiangdong Sun family can't sit still!
Sun Ce actually wanted to attack Xudu, welcome back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and restore the glory of the Han family.
Of course, he immediately found these so-called allies.
In Xiangyang that day, the princes of all parties secretly concluded an alliance, and the others didn't take it seriously, but Sun Ce took it seriously.
But now that Cao Cao is in full swing, who dares to stop him?
Liu Bei didn't reply to him at all, and Liu Biao directly asked Jiangxia Huangzu to make trouble for Sun Ce and prevent him from crossing the river.
Because if Sun Ce really fights over, the existence of the allies will be exposed, and others don't have Sun Ce's strength, where would they dare to provoke Cao Cao at will?
"Liu Biao's erection is simply too deceitful!" Sun Ce was caught off guard by Huang Zu, and he didn't know what to do with resentment.
Lu Meng persuaded on the side: "Lord, now is not the best time to attack Cao Cao, it is better to wait for him to send troops to Xuzhou, and then we will cross the river in the form of reinforcements." ”
After reading the book, Lu Meng also knew some strategies and tactics, and knew that recklessness would not work.
Where could Sun Ce hear this, and said loudly: "Welcoming back the Son of Heaven is the will of the people, these people are all greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am not afraid!" ”
The Jiangdong Sun clan, now there are seventy or eighty thousand people, and they really have the strength to say such things.
What Sun Ce didn't expect was that open guns were easy to dodge and dark arrows were difficult to defend.
Seeing that this tiger was bent on making trouble, Liu Biao finally couldn't sit still, he directly contacted the doorman of Xu Gong, who was the Taishou of Wu County, and used a lot of money to open the way, preparing to assassinate Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was hunting in the mountains that day, and he happened to be blocked by the three of them.
Although Sun Ce was astute and realized that something was wrong, he immediately shot one of them, but he was shot in the face by the other and died of serious injuries, and before he died, he passed the position of leader of Jiangdong to his younger brother Sun Quan.
Sun Quan was young, but fortunately he was assisted by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, which stabilized the situation in Jiangdong.
But since then, the situation of the allies is no longer there, and Sun has become mortal enemies with Liu Biao.
This makes Ye Hui very uncomfortable in the middle, after all, Sun Quan is his apprentice, and so is Zhou Budo, he can't take sides of any side, he can only sit and watch the development.
knew that history was developing on the bad side, but he was powerless to change it, which made Ye Hui even more worried.
Fortunately, Diao Chan's words reminded Ye Hui that since there was no way to change the overall situation, he could contribute from other places.
So, Ye Hui studied for a long time before he came up with something from the system mall, this thing is inconspicuous, but it has cost all the faith power after the opening of the Bowen Academy.
This thing is the potato, or potato for short.
Potatoes are highly yielding, nutritious and adaptable to the environment, and have been cultivated and achieved higher yields in tropical and subtropical countries even in winter or cool seasons.
Because the potato was very suitable for growing in the alpine areas where the original grain yield was very low and only wheat could be grown, it was soon popularized in Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shanxi, and northern Shaanxi, and high-yield crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes that were transmitted from the Americas became the main food of the poor class, and played an important role in maintaining the rapid increase of the population in China.
The reason why Ye Hui chose this thing was also because of its potential to rapidly grow the strength of the Central Plains.
As long as there is food and no one dies of hunger, then when fighting against aliens in the future, you will be more sure.
You are fighting, I am farming and exploding the population, this is all right?
So Diao Chan and Cai Yan soon saw that Ye Hui had taken a few farmers to the field before dawn, and they didn't know what they were doing.
