Depending on the position, the perspective of the problem is different.

Zhou Yu believed that if he conquered Hefei, he could use the Central Plains water network to attack Cao Cao's hinterland, and retreat could hold the Jianghuai Gongwei Lujiang River.

Of course, he also has selfish resentments towards Hefei.

And Sun Ce agreed with Zhang Zhao's plan because the economic and political center of Jiangdong was in Wudi, and only by ensuring that the rear was not threatened, he could take the generals to go out with confidence, so the strategic significance of taking Guangling was greater than that of Hefei.

In addition, Long Xiang supported the soldiers of a city to defend himself, and Chen Deng used the power of a county to provoke trouble.

Which is more important, the superior is judged.

After making up his mind, Sun Ce decided to give up Hefei for the time being, first return to Wu County to clean up the remnants of Yan Baihu, and then go north to Guangling to defeat Chen Deng.

Before leaving, Sun Ce made Tai Shici the lieutenant of Jianchang, and ordered him to help Sun Ben suppress the powerful in the north of Yuzhang and prevent the threat of Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the west, and left Zhou Yu with thousands of soldiers and horses to guard Baqiu (now Xiajiang, Jiangxi) to help Sun Fu control the Luling County that he had just taken.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, thousands of sails sailed out of Peng Lize and went downstream.

The fleet sailed to the waters of Anhui County, and Sun Ce came to the deck against the cold winter wind, looking at the north shore with a solemn expression.

From time to time, Qin Song, the mastermind, was out to relieve himself, and when he passed by the deck and returned to the cabin, he encountered Sun Ce.

Qin Song didn't know if Sun Ce was also convenient, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he waited for a while before catching up.

(Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song, and Chen Duan were the four masterminds of Sun Ce, and at this time, Zhang Hong was detained by Cao Cao in the imperial court for his dedication to Xuchang)

"My lord."

"Oh? It turned out to be a table, and you also came out to blow the wind?"

"Uh... yes..."

Qin Song nodded with an embarrassed expression, and immediately changed the topic and said, "It's windy on the river, please pay attention to keep warm, beware of the cold and cold."

Sun Ce didn't care: "A little cold wind is not enough to worry about, I remember the battle on the river more than ten days ago, I was a little tired, but I was unintentionally splashed in the face by the river, I immediately calmed down, and I also jumped off the boat to kill Huang Zu."

"The lord has the power of an overlord, and the enemy is fearful..."Qin Song clenched his fists and complimented.

The corners of Sun Ce's mouth just raised, and he suddenly frowned again, and slapped his palm on the deck railing.

"There are strong players in the strong, and Xu Chu in Hefei is not an idle person..."

Qin Song asked curiously: "Since the lord has never forgotten Hefei, why didn't he listen to Zizheng (Chen Duan) yesterday's suggestion and send someone to Hefei to intimidate Long Xiang, maybe he will directly sacrifice the city like Hua Ziyu..."

"Haha..."

Sun Ce shook his head and laughed, explaining, "Long Xiang came from a humble background and never enjoyed wealth, so how could he give up easily when he became the lord of Hefei at this time? He's not the same as Hua Ziyu."

"You should try it too, what if it happens?"

"Try? Who to send to try? Only by concealing the fact of returning to Wu, the envoy will have enough confidence when he arrives in Hefei, and he will not be able to hide Lu Su if he is cowardly, and it doesn't matter if he fails to persuade him to surrender, if he is detained in Hefei like Deng Dang, it will not be good, and I don't care to play such a little trick..."

When Qin Song heard this, he couldn't help but bow his hand again: "The lord is arrogant, and Long Xiang will descend sooner or later."

Sun Ce bowed slightly: "Hefei has few troops after all, not to mention that there is no threat to Jiangdong, even if it is not a big threat to Lujiang, the top priority is to defeat Chen Deng first, you and Zizheng are both from Guangling, now go to your hometown to fight, remember to give more advice."

"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best." Qin Song's face was full of solemnity.

Sun Ce just nodded slightly, then looked at the north shore and continued to think.

Seeing this, Qin Song continued to admonish: "If the lord is not at ease with Hefei, why not send someone to help Li Taishou and restrain Long Xiang with the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf."

"Exorcise the tiger and devour the wolf? How?" Sun Ce became interested.

Qin Song explained: "Li Taishou guards the Lujiang River with 3,000 soldiers, and the assassin Yan Xiang occupies Shouchun and other Huainan cities, Jiujiang and Lujiang will break out sooner or later, and Hefei Heng can just buffer between the two counties, why not let Long Xiang attack Shouchun?" You can also use a plan to let Yan Xiang go south to attack Hefei, which is a plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf."

"Well, listen

It's good to go, Yan Xiang and Long Xiang consume each other, Jiangdong can profit from it, and when I finish cleaning up Chen Deng, I can collect Huainan in one fell swoop, but..."

Sun Ce turned from joy to worry halfway through his words, and frowned again.

"Gong Jin respects Lu Su very much, and he is in Hefei to give advice to Long Xiang, but I'm afraid that Li Shu is not the opponent of the two, I have to send a think tank to Lujiang to raise something..."

"Mr. Zibu..." Qin Song wanted to speak.

"Zibu wants to be with me..."

Sun Ce shook his head slightly, and then looked at Qin Song to think.

"You discuss with Zizheng (Chen Duan) to see who goes to Lujiang to help Li Shu, even if you can't drive the tiger and devour the wolf, it will be a great achievement to keep Lujiang alive."

"Uh... I've saved it..."

Qin Song wanted to recommend Zhang Zhao, but unfortunately Sun Ce wanted to stay by his side, he had to go back to do Chen Duan's work, after all, it was useless to do more in Lujiang, it was better to show his face every day by the lord's side.

Sun Ce didn't let Zhang Zhao go outside, first, he had the highest level among the four masterminds, and second, Zhang Zhao had a certain ability to lead troops, and he also had one or two thousand of his own troops, and it was a waste of talent to lose it in Lujiang.

Qin Song's hard work of soaking in the urine gave his fellow villagers a job on assignment, and Chen Duan belonged to the people who sat in the cabin, and the work came from the sky.

Tens of thousands of ships lined up in a queue, walking along the river in black pressure, and almost no one noticed that a small boat quietly sailed into the mouth of the water in Anhui County.

That is, starting from the Shuikou of Anhui County, there are fishing boats on the north bank of the Yangtze River from time to time, until the fleet crosses the Shuikou, and the fishing boats on the river are gradually gone.

Fishing on the river in winter, are these Lujiang fishermen?

Sun Ce remembered the scraping of the Lujiang River after the war, and thought that he had gone too far, and at this time he felt a little sorry in his heart, but he didn't know that it was not an ordinary fisherman, but a water scout in Hefei.

Knowing that the Jiangdong warship had left from the mouth of the river, all the governors of Hefei breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention that Feng Zhong and Tang Yu were surprised, but Xu Chu, Liu Ye, and Lu Su were all surprised.

Less than two months after Sun Ce left Hefei, he was able to defeat the combined forces of Liu Xun and Huang Shot, defeated Huang Zu in Shaxian, and took Yuzhang and Luling without blood.

This achievement, this achievement, is the incompetent and angry little overlord outside Hefei City?

In the Jun Sima Mansion, only Long Xiang knew the plot in advance, and said that this was Sun Ce's highlight moment, and it was estimated that he would die in a short time, so he gave orders very calmly.

"Summons Xingzuo (Liu Fu) and asks them to move the surveillance area downstream, and Sun Cebei is back."

"Yui."

Cao Xing hugged his fists and left, and Liu Ye said to himself: "Sun Ce didn't come to fight Hefei, it's really unbelievable..."

"Sun Ce plundered a large number of people in Lujiang and Jiangxia, and at this time he should bring it back to Jiangdong to digest it slowly, and the cold winter is not conducive to attacking the city, I estimate that it will only make a comeback next year."

Lu Su said, glanced at Long Xiang meaningfully, as if he had something to whisper to him.

Long Xiang instantly understood, and immediately waved his hand and ordered everyone: "The New Year is approaching, you go to prepare the New Year's goods first, just have the war in your heart, and finally... Stay for a moment."
