Chapter 122: The ships in the south are not as fast as the horses in the north!

"Gong Jin, don't be angry at this time."

Sun Ce took a deep breath, although he also had a sense of frustration in his heart, and it seemed difficult to express it in his chest, but at this moment, he understood that he couldn't be big because of the small wet.

If Cao's army had really reached Lujiang, then the route of the march would have to be changed, and all the strategic plans could not be as previously envisaged.

After all, Lujiang has been occupied by the Cao family, and if you fight in Lujiang at this moment, you really have to be with Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce can't afford this reputation.

His family business, that is the reputation of his father, at this time, the people's hearts are towards the Han, and the Han family must prevail, which is also the reason why the other side is willing to ask the envoy to talk.

After all, if the Sun clan is willing to fight, it is the army of the alliance.

It would be beneficial to send an envoy to talk to each other in this way, at least amiable.

"Hahaha......"

At this moment, after Zhou Yu understood that something could not be done, he also laughed generously and calmly, and said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, it seems that we will march for a few days, morning and evening, and we will only stay three times to drink during the period, but we are still one step slower. ”

"I'm afraid the ships in the south are really not as fast as the horses in the north."

Zhou Yu himself is open-minded, and this remark at this time also made Sun Ce stunned and smiled bitterly.

Zhou Yu continued: "This general of the Cao clan can be described as marching fast, and with such a situation, it is not an exaggeration to lose to him. ”

"From outside the county, from the war with Lu Bu, he sent troops and horses to Lujiang, so pay attention to the overall situation, have foresight, and have three military lives, spanning thousands of miles, the Cao family is terrifying."

"Yes, it is indeed suspicious, I don't know who this will be, I heard that there is a person under the command of the Cao family, known as Maxima, named Cao Xiu, and there are also tigers and leopards led by Cao Chun, who attack hundreds of miles a day."

Sun Ce put his hands behind his back and immediately laughed, "If these famous generals are here, although they can't be in Lujiang, they can take a look first, after all, we haven't had a bad relationship with the Cao family to this extent." ”

At this moment, as if he remembered something, Zhou Yu suddenly turned around quickly, came to Sun Ce, and said in a deep voice: "You can make a friend, Bo Fu said that I suddenly understood." ”

"How?"

Sun Ce asked curiously.

What do you understand?

Gong Jin's thoughts are often so detached, and it is common to find some clues.

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "If we can make friends, we can get convenience during the siege of Shouchun this time, Bo Fu does not need to send troops to capture it, only need to threaten in the south." ”

"Although Lujiang is lost, but if you give it generously, you can make friends with the people of the Cao family, if you make achievements in this battle, you can ask for credit for Bo Fu in front of the Son of Heaven."

"If you inherit your father Wucheng Hou, you have to be Danyang Taishou, or you can make the Shi clan attached, it seems that we have not gotten Lujiang, but we can get more convenience, and we don't entangle, he will also think that Bo Fu is heroic."

"Very good!"

Sun Ce immediately clapped his hands, this is right, if you are entangled in the lost land, you are afraid that you will be irritable and not at peace.

However, if you can make friends with this and make an alliance to make this general ask for merit, you can get the title of Han or edict, so that these scholars in the territory will no longer be oppressed by the Sun clan and surrender.

Talents from all over the world, as well as property and family assets among the scholars, can be continuously sent into the Sun army, even hermits from all over the world, they will also gather to respond, in order to achieve great things.

The real solidity should start from the heart of the scholars, and when the time comes, you can train the navy day and night, according to the danger of the Yangtze River, in order to plan for the foundation of Jiangdong.

At least ten years of tranquility, if there is a change in the world, you can enter Jingzhou or go north to Huainan, and you can also go out of the Central Plains.

Jingzhou ......

Sun Ce had a little resentment in his heart, he had always shown his heroism and generosity, and the only resentment was left to Jingzhou, and his father died in the chaos of arrows under Liu Biao's plot.

If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that Jiangdong would have been completely in Sun's pocket now, and Jingzhou might also be able to capture it, sitting on the land of the two states, and Tuhuainan Yuanshu.

At this time, Yuan Shu's family business was annexed, but the south was also fighting for hegemony.

It's a pity......

"Let's go! Gong Jin! ”

Sun Ce secretly clenched his fists, and his mood immediately regained his spirit, and he took the lead on the deck, "Send a messenger to meet this general who entered the Lujiang River first!" ”

"Good!"

Zhou Yu followed, and the two ordered to stop the sailor's warship, and waited for a small boat to be sent as a messenger, swaying the oars and preparing to go to the opposite shore.

Under the light of the fire, the person who came was just an ordinary Confucian minister, and no one stopped shooting.

Xu Zhenzheng saw this scene on the high-rise building built on the bank of the river, and knew that the person who came should be the messenger, it seemed that Sun Ce would not attack it, so there was no need to be so tense.

He kicked down the wooden building, hurried all the way to the shore, and Zhao Yun held a gun behind him, his expression was extremely serious, until this moment, Xu Zhen was still in good spirits, without the slightest hint of exhaustion.

Such a style made Zhao Yun more sure in his heart, and he followed Xu Zhen closely and never left an inch.

When he arrived at the shore, after the Confucian came up, he glanced at the people who came, and immediately saw Xu Zhen among the generals, the most conspicuous, walking like the wind, and immediately knew who was the main general, and bowed down: "In Xia Shen You, I have seen the general, dare to ask the general is among the generals of the Cao family, which general?" ”

"Sir, my family's monarch is Chen Liutaishou, Qingting Hou Xu Zhen."

Zhao Yun stepped forward and hugged his fists, opposing this young gentleman named Shen You.

But at this time, what he said made Xu Zhen a little stunned.

"My Prince"?

When did Zhao Yun change his name, because they were always in a hurry along the way, there were not many opportunities for the two to talk, nothing more than to discuss a few words when they stopped.

But it doesn't go that deep.

Before, it was still a mouthful of Xu Junhou.

Now this change of words is somewhat meaningful.

Shen You was surprised when he heard the name at this moment, and said, "Chen stayed in Lujiang, has he already cultivated thousands of miles to gallop and shout?" Otherwise, how can the heavenly generals and divine soldiers come across thousands of miles. ”

Zhao Yun smiled, hugged his fists here, and said: "If Mr. comes to sigh, then there is no need to say more, I will wait for the march day and night to have this merit." ”

"Yes, too!" Shen You's beard is sparse, just left, only at the chin, but he is also old and thoughtful, he is thin, so the robe with a slight purple edge on his body looks very wide and has a bit of charm, and he immediately said to himself: "Since the ancient city, the land is where the benevolent live." ”

"Acting like this, it is not acceptable, Lujiang should have been a prince."

This messenger, such a sentence, was extremely serious, and Zhao Yun and Xu Zhen were stunned.

Well!? Which side are you the messenger?

Saying that, it seems that he came to me and shouted six-six-six.

A good sentence is indispensable, although the truth is extremely correct.

The scene suddenly became relaxed.

The sergeants on duty all around, ready to draw their bows and shoot arrows at any time, also breathed a sigh of relief.

If this is the case, it means that the guard does not have to be so tight.

Xu Zhen immediately said: "Since Mr. is here, what is the matter?" ”

"Oh!" Shen You bowed again and said: "The prince is above, my general came from Danyang, and he also traveled by land and water, day and night, and he didn't dare to have the slightest stagnation, so he came to Lujiang." ”

"Come here, not to take advantage of the emptiness of this place, to occupy its place, but to let Lujiang not be a disaster of false thieves, the people can not suffer disasters, Lujiang is on its side, just like Danyang in the south, the general can protect the people of Danyang, by the fleeing households, but also worried about its side, such as Cao Gong and the prince, the momentum of the future, the people who defend the land, before they marched like this."

Xu Zhen immediately came to his senses and said: "Then your general is the same as I thought, so I marched day and night to protect the people of Lujiang, so, thank you for the general's concern." ”

"Huh?!"

Shen You's expression suddenly froze, and he stared at Xu Zhen in a daze, he didn't expect that this person's thoughts were so fast.

One sentence is directly blocked.

Now there is no need to be false and wrong.

Originally, I was going to go around to the hard work and ask for one or two cities, but now it seems that I am afraid that the south side of the Lujiang River will have to be let out.

After this battle, I am afraid that the Lujiang River will gradually be contested by the two families, and the boundary between them is in the river behind them.

The difference is that the place of governance is Xu Zhen, and the north of Anhui County occupies seventy percent of the territory.

The general has no more than three county towns, so it is better to return it to him generously, so as not to increase the loss in vain.

Husbands and lobbyists, if they do not gain profit, will generously seek fame, and they can go back and forth in the future.

Words can't be said to die.

Thinking of this, Shen You arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you Junhou, the general knows this meaning, and ordered me to ask Junhou to borrow a shore to do the work of begging for thieves, and when it is done in the future, I will return to Danyang." ”

"The prince and my general are all one heart, just for the safety of the territory, if you work together, you can start this business! Make a big difference! The danger of the hypocrisy and the thief made it difficult for him to sit still. ”

"Okay, please ask Uncle Sun Fu to dock with soldiers and horses," Xu Zhen nodded immediately, and said: "Since Mr. said straight to the point, there is no need to be a villain, please come here, build a camp by the water, and defecate side by side with my camp." ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

Shen You paid homage again, then turned around and boarded the boat.

Xu Zhen had already taken a look at this ferry port before he came, and there was no boat at all.

If he wanted to cross the river, he would have to build warships and fortifications in the future, which would cost him a lot.

A piece of land that stretches for about twenty miles is extremely wide, and it is easy to defend the side of the river, but it cannot hold the side of the cavalry attack in the rear, because it is a downhill slope.

Xu Zhen let out of the ferry, and camped on the slope by himself, with a mountain water source behind him, if there was a change, the cavalry could break through Sun's camp at any time, and the control was still in his hands.

So directly and generously, Shen You wanted to call Xu Zhen a big brother, but when Zhou Yu and Sun Ce took a look at the terrain, they understood that they could only live temporarily if they landed on the shore.

Just as the fight was about to start, I had to fold a few ships into it.

Only for the sake of running, after all, they don't have many war horses, how many war horses can they bring on a building ship?

……

When it's almost dawn.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu set up the camp, and after seeing the surrounding terrain, they also understood that they could not force it this time, and now they could only go to visit this prince.

Along the way, the two came on horseback, followed by more than a dozen guards, which can be regarded as quite heroic and heroic, and they are not afraid of Xu Zhen setting an ambush to kill them.

Of course, Xu Zhen won't do anything, after all, he is still an ally, and the crime of killing an allied army is not small, and his reputation will be bad in the future.

Besides, he didn't feel the need to kill.

These two don't seem to have a long lifespan......

Of course, Zhou Yu may change, as for Sun Ce......

As long as Sun Ce dies, Zhou Gongjin's position will become extremely embarrassing.

And the governor of Jiangdong is indeed a high-risk occupation.

"Bo Fu, I didn't expect this Xu Junhou to come."

Zhou Yu smiled on the white horse, and then said: "At the beginning, there was a friend who looked at the affairs of the world and knew the news of the Central Plains, and when he invited me to drink, he tasted this prince. ”

"Jin Yu is like a fragrance, talent is not under it, and the will is as strong as a rock, which can be called a hero of the world."

"The fragrance mentioned here is Gu Qu Liuxiang Xun Shijun, which is today's Shangshu Ling Xun Wenruo, and it is also said that his person is not only generous and open-minded, but also leaves fragrance everywhere, clean and unstained, Xu Zhen is comparable to him, it can be seen that his charm is desirable."

"Hehehe!!"

Sun Ce was immediately said to laugh heartily, so today he is going to see a Confucian general with a rather white and handsome surname? !

Over the years in Jiangnan and Jiangdong, I have met such people all day long, but among the talents in Jiangdong, Sun Ce can see those who are really superior, regardless of talent or appearance.

"Why does Gongjin always listen to these comments?"

"Understand once in a while, compare a little, so as not to lose the face of Bo Fu in the future."

"Hahaha!!"

Sun Ce laughed even more when he heard this, and then looked at Zhou Yu's expression and really pretended to be ashamed, and his heart was even more cheerful, really only beautiful men don't pay attention to their appearance at all.

No matter what others say, their eyes are there, and they can be discerned.

Zhou Yu probably doesn't need any comments anymore.

At this time, the two of them reached the door of the tent while talking.

The soldiers on duty at the gate were all full of energy, with straight chests and waists, and their momentum seemed to gather in the heavenly dome of the camp, a purging atmosphere, which made both of them feel a chill in their hearts.

Northern soldiers, is this all the case now?!

This kind of face, everyone can be as majestic as the elite.

At this time, the deputy general in front of the door stepped forward and arched his hand, saying, "Two, but General Sun and General Zhou." ”

"Exactly!"

Zhou Yu frowned, quite surprised.

Xu Zhen knows I'm coming?! Shen You shouldn't have said my name last night?!

"The prince is outside Anhui County, distributing food to the people, and distributing the people to cultivate the land, and I am afraid that he will not come back until sunset."

"The prince has ordered, if there is nothing to do today, please invite the two generals into the camp and have their own military advisors to entertain them."

"After sunset, he will definitely rush back and bring Wanxian wine for the two generals."

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce suddenly glanced at each other, and for some reason, they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

This Xu Bowen is really good.

Even if people are not here, they can arrange everything so decently, and they can talk and do things without missing a bit.

While we were praised for being comfortable, we were really willing to wait here for an afternoon.

No wonder, after Shen You went back last night, he actually said "I can't talk about him" for the first time.

"Good!"

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce immediately nodded and said, "Please ask this brother to report." ”

"Two generals, please! I immediately went to report to the military advisor. ”
