The next day, Xu Sheng rushed to Beihai and reported that Cheng Xi refused to surrender and led the remnants to flee.

Wu Jun traveled thousands of miles, uprooted from his homeland, although the soldiers generously went north, but somewhat worried, now finally have a foothold, money and food are abundant, all rejoice.

Xu Sheng saw Zhou Yu sullen during the banquet, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the metropolitan governor is worried about Cao Jun's affairs?" If Xiahou comes, he will be able to stop him. ”

"Xiahoudun is often defeated, why be afraid?" Zhou Yu sighed lightly: "Since I waited in Qingzhou, I have been separated from the mountains and seas from the army, and I have not seen any news from Huainan so far, and I don't know how the lord and their troops are marching." ”

Xu Shengyan said: "The lord has 200,000 elite soldiers in this personal expedition, and the elite of Jiangdong are all in Huainan, and they will be able to win, and the governor does not have to worry about this." ”

Zhou Yu smiled with relief: "Wen Xiang is reasonable, the lord has Lu Meng and Lu Xun to assist, and there are veteran generals such as Huang Gai and Han Dang to lead the army, Cao Ren has three heads and six arms, and it is difficult to resist, we only need to hold Qingzhou, and the lord's army will come to rendezvous." ”

"I will return my clothes to my hometown in the near future!" Xu Sheng laughed and went to celebrate with the generals again.

Zhou Yu put down his wine glass, turned around and went out, the weather has been hot recently, it has reached the height of summer, and the cicadas are singing, just like his irritable mood at the moment.

Xu Sheng didn't know that Zhou Yu was not worried about the affairs of Huainan, but was waiting for news from Jiangdong, and now that Sun Quan had crossed the river to the north, Tai Shici had secretly arrived in Jianye, and he didn't know how the investigation was going.

Recently, although his physical discomfort has been reduced a lot, he found that the toxins in his blood have not been eliminated, which is still secondary, and the mastermind behind this scene made him feel like a fish in his throat and restless.

If this matter is really Sun Quan's doing, he really doesn't know how to face the current situation, sending a little bosom friend and half a life's hard work to waste, what is the use of wanting this fame and territory?

This time, regardless of the danger, Zhou Yu actually has the intention of escaping from the land of right and wrong, no matter what conspiracy there is, he will be in a dilemma, simply stay away from Jiangdong, and wait for the day when the truth will be revealed.

……

At this time, in the Hefei camp, Sun Quan was sullen, from March to the front army, the two armies confronted each other in Shouchun, although there were mutual victories and defeats, but Cao Ren's defense was not leaky, no matter how he transferred troops, he returned in vain.

Lu Xun thought that Cao Ren was good at guarding, and Sima Yi was his military advisor, and he had seen through his tactics many times, so he could not rush into the army again, and reluctantly fighting would only wear down morale and lose troops.

When the Central Plains changed, Zhou Yu made a difference in Qingzhou, and when Cao's army was divided, he could break through Xuzhou and conspire with Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses to take the Central Plains.

Lu Meng, Huang Gai and other generals were impatient, Liu Qi took the pass like a bamboo, Guan Yu entered Yanzhou again, Zhou Yu also stepped into Qingzhou, as the main force in Jiangdong, they achieved nothing in Huainan, aren't they laughed at by the world?

For half a month, the two sides have been arguing, some people have asked for orders to attack the main attack, in order to show the majesty of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, and some people have suggested watching from the wall, waiting for the fierce battle in the Central Plains, taking advantage of the chaos to enter the army.

Zhang Zhao and others even jointly signed a letter, asking Sun Quan to return to Jianye to preside over the rear and stabilize the foundation, otherwise Cao Cao returned from the northern expedition and hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen went south, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Just when he couldn't make a choice, he suddenly visited the Malay newspaper, Liu Biao died, Liu Qi returned to Xiangyang to mourn, and the Jingzhou soldiers suspended the offensive and stationed troops in various places to recuperate and recuperate, and appease people's hearts.

At the same time, the war in Qingzhou spread, Zhou Yu outwitted Beihai, Liaodong's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, Gongsun Yang fled back to Liaodong from the sea, and the eastern part of Qingzhou was owned by Eastern Wu.

Sun Quan was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss the matter, and said: "The governor of the capital has gained a foothold in the north, and he is anxious to wait for the support of the lonely north. ”

Lu Su frowned and said: "If there is no Jingzhou soldier to contain the Cao army, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the lone army to go north, but we can take the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate, and it is not too late to enter the army after the autumn." ”

Lu Meng hurriedly said: "Liu Qi does not move, when can he wait until the Central Plains to start a war?" Wu Hou fights for the world, when will he rely on the power of others? Liu Biao's death, this is the will of heaven to call the lord to get the Central Plains, he Liu Qi can take Guanzhong, we can't take Xuzhou? ”

Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and Lu Mengzhi's words poked the center of the nest, since the marriage with Liu Qi, the two families withdrew their troops on the river, Liu Qi marched all the way, entered Xichuan, took Guanzhong, and sought the Central Plains, and the territory expanded more than three or four times, but Eastern Wu has been lingering in the land of Huainan.

After careful calculation, it was he who helped Liu Qi contain Cao Jun, but as a result, Dongwu gained nothing, only Liu Qi benefited, and saw that half of the country was subsumed into the Liu family, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became.

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, and said in a deep voice: "Xiahoudun has retreated, only Cao Ren is left to guard Shouchun, and there are 100,000 sailors alone. ”

Zhou Tai came out and hugged his fists and said: "What the lord said is extremely true, the last general is willing to lead the water army to the north, take the Huai River and enter Surabaya within a month, and approach Picheng, I don't believe that he Cao Ren will not retreat." ”

Lu Xun hurriedly persuaded: "Today, the morale of the Cao army is high, and the lord doesn't need to be in a hurry!" I expect that Xiahou is not the opponent of the metropolitan governor, once the army is defeated, Cao Ren wants to defend but can't, wants to retreat but can't, must be confused, discouraged, angry and discouraged, the three armies move, then send troops, will be invincible. ”

"A true scholar's opinion!" Huang Gai and others have always been dissatisfied with the Jiangdong family, seeing that Lu Xun has been seeking stability since he entered the army, he has not dared to enter the army, and he has long been dissatisfied, and said coldly: "We also eat Junlu, why don't you worry about the king?" ”

Han Dang hugged his fists and said: "Since General Sun pacified Jiangnan, we have all been dressed in perseverance and perseverance, and we have been born and died. ”

"Jiangdong is not just the ear of Zhou Dudu?" Lu Meng said loudly: "The two strong compete for each other, the winner wins, now the Marquis of Wu is on the front line, the three armies are united, why should Cao Ren be afraid?" The last general is willing to be a pioneer and swear to break the longevity. ”

The generals also asked for orders, although everyone was very respectful of Zhou Yu, but if Zhou Yu was counted on in everything, it was indeed not enough to achieve great things, and it also seemed that they were incompetent.

"I have made up my mind, and I will enter the army in three days!" Sun Quan pressed his sword and got up, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't enter Xuzhou, you vow not to return to Jiangdong!" ”

Lu Xun was still waiting to be persuaded again, but was stopped by Lu Su who stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Since the lord is determined to send troops, he should be concentric and brainstorm, and he needs to think of another strategy and use his troops with strange strategies." ”

Sun Quan looked at Lu Su's expression, comprehended in his heart, nodded and said: "Zijing, Ziming, and Boyan will follow me to the back hall to discuss matters, and the generals will clean up the soldiers and horses and stand by at any time." ”

Huang Gai and the others agreed to the promise and went to prepare, and Sun Quan and the three of them came to the study to discuss countermeasures.

Lu Su said bluntly: "Cao Ren is good at guarding, if he goes head-to-head, I am afraid that both sides will lose, so it is better to use a roundabout strategy to attack the east and the west, and attack him unprepared." ”

Sun Quan frowned and said: "That Sima Yi is quite strategic, and he has seen through the three of them several times, and I am afraid that it will be self-defeating." ”

Lu Su stroked his beard and said: "This time Gongjin has gained a foothold in Qingzhou, and the lord is also determined to take Xuzhou, so there is no need to have reservations: you can use the power of Jiangdong to fight a decisive battle with Cao's army, and several soldiers and horses are between reality and reality, although Sima Yi has a strategy, but Cao Ren lacks skills, and An can be hostile?" ”
