"Guan Yu is fighting, how many soldiers and horses did he bring?"

"Back to the general, there are about a thousand people!"

"A thousand?"

As soon as Sun Jian heard this amount, he couldn't help muttering a little in his heart.

Guan Yu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and Liu Jian is the best among the people, how could such a combination send a thousand people to fight with him?

There must be something going on here!

"Hang up the free battle card, don't fight!"

Sun Jian immediately ordered.

Huang Gai said to Sun Jian on the side: "The enemy army has come to challenge before, and it only leads a thousand people, if you don't fight, you will inevitably lose the morale of our three armies." ”

Sun Jian shook his head and said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other, what kind of person is Liu Jiannai?" How can you easily do the defeat of the Faye? That Guan Yunchang is a fierce general who crisscrosses the desert and repeatedly fights with foreign tribes. ”

"Hanzhou of my Han Dynasty was opened up by this person, our army is nearly 20,000 people here, but the other army only led a thousand soldiers to call for battle, public overthrow, think about it yourself, is there no trickery in this?"

Huang Gai smacked his lips when he heard this, but didn't say much.

In fact, Huang Gai felt that even if the other party had a trick, it was not a big deal, as long as Sun Jian sent his soldiers and horses out to repel Guan Yu and did not chase after him, it would not be a big deal.

However, Huang Gai didn't know Liu Jian after all, although he had heard of Liu Jian's name, but he had nothing to do with Liu Jian.

Sun Jian had known Liu Jian in the past, and Sun Jian had also fought against the Yellow Turban with Liu Xian, Huang Gai felt that since Sun Jian thought that Liu Jian had a plan, maybe there was something wrong here.

At the same time, Guan Yu was challenging outside Sun Jian's camp.

Seeing that he had so few soldiers and horses, but Sun Jian ordered someone to hang up the war-free card, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

It seems that last night's victory against Cao Ren did make Sun Jian have doubts in his heart.

Sun Jian is a good general, and he understands that he should not fight the other party at will until he has figured out everything.

However, the main reason is that his brother Liu Jian was known by Sun Jian in Xuzhou.

Sun Jian didn't know if it was true or not......

Guan Yu was not in a hurry, he just brushed his beard and stationed outside Sun Jian's camp, letting his soldiers scold.

After scolding for an hour, Guan Yu immediately commanded the soldiers and horses to retreat.

Soon, Zhang Fei led his soldiers and horses again.

Although Zhang Fei was injured, he still had a stronger sense of battle than Guan Yu.

He seemed to be deliberately challenging Sun Jian's bottom line, and he let the thousand soldiers indulge in loud and angry scolding in front of Sun Jian's camp.

The kind of scolding that has no bottom line.

But to everyone's surprise, even if Zhang Fei let his subordinates scold Sun Jian so badly, Sun Jian was indifferent.

I really don't know the truth.

Sun Jian now no matter how Zhang Fei scolds, that is, I will not move.

After Zhang Fei's withdrawal, not long after, Cheng Pu led a thousand soldiers and horses to Sun Jian's camp to call for battle.

The more frequently Liu Jian changed people to call for battle in front of Sun Jian's camp, the more Sun Jian felt that his guess was right, and the purpose of Liu Jian's sending soldiers and horses to call for battle was not to fight with him, but to have other tricks.

After about two days of repeating the cycle, Liu Jian and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were almost ready, and the grain and grass baggage had already gone in the direction of Xuzhou.

So, Liu Jian immediately withdrew his troops and horses, and let the team slowly walk towards the north of Xuzhou.

After Sun Jian learned that Liu Jian had withdrawn, he intended to chase after him, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no harm in being careful, so he sent someone to investigate, and the result was that there were not many soldiers and horses after Liu Jian's break.

After some serious thinking, Sun Jian felt that this was another trick by Liu Jian to lure the soldiers and horses to come to battle, so he gave up the pursuit.

I have to say that this time Sun Jian's consideration is indeed right.

Because Liu Jian is indeed loose on the outside and tight on the inside, he arranges soldiers and horses, ready to sneak attack Sun Jian at any time.

According to Liu Jian's understanding of Sun Jian, after Sun Jian knew that he had challenged him in turn, and then went to Xuzhou, he must have been furious in his heart, feeling that he had been bullied, and he should have sent troops to pursue.

After all, Sun Jian is not a good stubble, and like Zhang Fei, he is a pure militant.

But it is clear that Sun Jian has made some progress than he imagined, and now he is not a fierce general who can only go on a rampage.

Obviously, the current Sun Jian is far from being comparable to ordinary people, not only can he charge on the battlefield, but he also knows how to strategize.

The Tigers have indeed begun to develop in the direction of famous generals.

Since there is no ambush on Sun Jian, then there is no ambush, anyway, this is not a big loss for Liu Jian.

Defeating Cao Ren and capturing Cao Chun alive was enough to make the Hebei army famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

So, Liu Jian immediately led his troops back to Xuzhou.

……

……

At this moment, the soldiers and horses of Liu Rong and Xiao Jian, the king of Langya, have arrived in the south of Xuzhou.

They wanted to go straight to Yixian to support Liu Jian, but Liu Jian sent someone to inform Xiao Jian in advance not to go directly to Peng Chengguo, and let Xiao Jian lead his troops to camp near Xiapi Kingdom.

Xiao Jian was puzzled, but he still did as Liu Jian instructed.

……

……

At this time, Zhou Yu was taking advantage of the power of victory and taking over the local city in Guangling Kingdom.

Of course, Zhou Yu did not forget to learn about the situation on Cao Ren's side at all times.

But I never expected that the situation in Yixian County had not changed much, but on this day, the news of Cao Ren's defeat suddenly came.

Zhou Yu was still very young after all, and after he heard the news of Cao Ren's defeat, he was almost surprised to close his mouth.

"How is that possible? Why did the Vice-Governor suddenly suffer a miserable defeat? ”

Ling Cao stood below Zhou Yu and said helplessly: "It is said that Liu Deran arrived here, and it was he who sent troops to attack inside and outside, and together with Liu Bei, opened a passage in the camp of the deputy governor, and defeated the deputy governor. ”

"What? Liu Jian? ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was suddenly a little excited.

"I heard that Liu Deran is the first general of the Han Dynasty."

"When he arrives here this time, I have the heart to meet with him."

Ling Cao hurriedly said when he heard this: "Governor, by all means, Liu Deran is here in person, I don't know how many soldiers and horses he led, we still need to be cautious...... Besides, if you want to fight with Liu Deran, you still need to get permission from Duke Ming, if you don't have Duke Ming's consent, how can you easily start a war with Liu Jian? ”

Zhou Yu hesitated slightly, feeling that it made sense.

Then he said: "And inform Ming Gong of everything here." ”

"Report!"

At this time, a shout reached Zhou Yu's ears.

But it was the scouts of the Jiangdong Army who came to report the important matter.

"Say!"

"Governor, there is a group of soldiers and horses of about thousands on display on the border of Xiapi, and they are only stationed in Xiapi, and there are no other changes."

"Captain Cao on the front line asked his subordinates to report this matter to the governor, and asked the governor to decide."

When Zhou Yu heard this, a rather solemn expression appeared on his face.

He stood up and walked back and forth twice in the tent.

Then he said: "It seems that in the northern border of Xuzhou, there are forces that we don't know about, who are secretly helping Liu Deran, it seems that Liu Deran's potential strength and his allies are really beyond our imagination." ”

"The land of Xuzhou, if there is only Tao Qian, it is still easy to dispose of."

"But now Liu Jian has also come here from Hebei."

"In this way, it is difficult to say the direction of all things in Xuzhou."

"Report!"

Just when Zhou Yu hesitated, another scout suddenly shouted loudly.

"Speak!"

Zhou Yu instructed the person who had just entered the tent.

"The Governor of Dadu, the general of the Ming Dynasty, please ask the Governor of Dadu to recover the counties of Guangling, and do not move."

"The Ming Guild sent someone to negotiate peace with Liu Jian."

"Peace?!"

When Zhou Yu heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Peace at this time?!"

The man hurriedly said: "Yes, Ming Gong said that he is familiar with Liu Deran, knows Liu Deran's temperament, and this peace is in harmony with his mind!" ”
