Zhou Yu said, "Liu Bei is known for his bravery, but he is a masterpiece, not a generation who has been subservient for a long time. There are heroes such as Zhang, Zhao, and Zhou, although they are downcast for a while, and they have no ambition, but if there is a change in the wind and clouds, they are also afraid of turning into a dragon and soaring into the clouds.

Cao Cao wanted to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, but he first went south to conquer Xuzhou, broke Liu Bei's momentum, and captured Liu Bei's favorite general Guan Yu, which can be seen to be on guard. At this time, he united with Liu Bei to attack Cao Ren together, and returned the land of Xuzhou to Liu Bei's strength, temporarily serving as the gateway to our army.

Zhongmou has seized the salt and desecrated, but the troops are not enough to enter Xuzhou again, the people of Xuzhou are obedient to the name of Liu Bei, there is Cao Cao's great enemy at present, temporarily form a watchful alliance, and resist Cao Cao's southward trend. ”

In troubled times, what is important is the balance of terror, and the so-called friend or foe can also change their identities at any time.

Seizing the land of Runan and returning it to the old land of Xuzhou, such a benefit exchange, it is expected that Liu Bei has no reason to refuse.

With Sun Ce's arrogance, he doesn't disdain such a means, but in the affairs of soldiers, it is also necessary to know that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent.

"What do the generals think?" Sun Ce glanced at the generals under the tent, if there were other ways to break Cao Ren's army, Sun Ce's first choice would not be to make a false deal with Liu Bei and others.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have been friends for many years, and they know Sun Ce's temperament and temperament, and they also understand his hesitation.

Tai Shi Ci came out and said, "The last general thinks that what the Zhonghu Army said is very true. Now Cao thief is holding the Son of Heaven in hand, the soldiers are strong and strong, and they are united with the assassins and tribes of various states to crusade together, and the Qing monarch is on the side.

Although Liu Bei is not as good as Jiangdong, he has a clan name, is widely famous in the world, and is also a hero. ”

With Tai Shici's words, the rest of the generals also expressed their approval of Zhou Yu's strategy.

Sun Ce pondered for a long time, and was about to agree to Zhou Yu's suggestion, but a voice came from outside the tent, "The words of the Central Protector Army are wrong, our Jiangdong Army is at a time when it is difficult to be sharp, and there is the power of the elder brother to deter Cao Thief, and the morale is flourishing, but the Central Protector Army said that our army must fake hands on others to win over Cao Ren's generation, isn't it to destroy their own prestige and increase the ambition of others!" ”

When the generals heard the prestige, they saw Sun Yi striding forward, and bowed their knees to Sun Ce, "Brother Zhong has leveled the land of Guangling, and Brother Te led a hundred crossbow cavalry to help my brother." ”

When Sun Ce saw his brother, his eyes were full of surprise, "Ji Bi came to help, and he felt a little more confident in his heart." ”

The faces of the other generals in the tent also changed slightly.

Sun Ce immediately helped Sun Yi up, looking up and down, "It's dark, and I'm thin, the battle of Guangling is not easy, Zhongmou has also written a letter to Gu, saying that you will take the lead in every battle, and it is difficult for 10,000 people to be brave."

There is a brother like this, and the brother is very relieved. ”

"Brother praised." Sun Yi won Sun Ce's praise, and looked sideways at Zhou Yu, "The Zhonghu Army is also familiar with the strategy of the art of war, and it is experienced in a hundred battles, how can I not know the words of the ancients, 'If it is not my race, its heart will be different', then Liu Bei tossed and turned to serve many masters, but he fled repeatedly."

This man is very ambitious, even if the elder brother has the capacity to accommodate people, how can he guard against such a villain's capriciousness. This move is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger and being restrained. ”

Just talk about things, and bring some personal attacks, which will be difficult to hear.

Sun Ce heard that Sun Yi's tone was not good, and said softly, "Ji Bi is cautious, don't be rude to Gong Jin." ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu cherish each other, and they have already made it clear to their brothers at home that Zhou Yu and him are not separated from each other, not only at home, but also in the army. Therefore, Sun Quan also called Zhou Yu as the middle brother to show respect.

But Sun Yi was a little unconvinced, feeling that Sun Ce valued Zhou Yu again, and now he has long been divided into ministers and ministers, and he is also the son of the Sun family.

But because Sun Ce was here, Sun Yi still responded yes.

Zhou Yu has always been temperamental, and he didn't take this offense to heart, but smiled and responded to Sun Yi, "The third prince has been trained in the army, and his words are also quite insightful. ”

Sun Yi nodded and said, "If the Central Protector Army has seen the crossbow cavalry led by me, it will not be unfounded. ”

Sun Yi said, then took out a skillful crossbow, "Brother, please see, this is a clever crossbow that my brother has been working hard for a long time and has found the skillful Mo clan and improved on the basis of the repeater." This Karakuri repeater fires firing fifteen arrows in bursts, both in range and accuracy.

With this thing, it will definitely be able to break Cao Ren's defense. ”

Sun Ce was able to advance all the way, and he originally had the credit of the crossbow, and the crossbow was an efficient strategy to kill the enemy, so that the Jiangdong army could always win quickly on the battlefield.

It's just that the range and strength of the repeater are lacking, and when Sun Ce met Cao Ren, who was also good at wind warfare, he couldn't exert his due strength.

Cao Ren had Yang Jun as his military advisor by his side, and he was the first to discover the use of the Jiangdong Army's crossbows, so he used cavalry and spearmen to attack and defend, and stubbornly resisted the attack of the Jiangdong Army.

Sun Ce is feeling a headache, and Sun Yi's words are no less than just wanting to sleep and giving people a pillow.

Sun Yi proposed, "If you don't believe it, you can also go to the school to give it a try." ”

"How do you give it a try?" When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he was also quite interested, when a small number of soldiers in the army were equipped with repeating crossbows, he was amazed at the wonder of this thing, and when he killed the enemy on the battlefield, it was extremely powerful.

It was only the insufficient number of repeaters and their frequent damage that made Cao Ren discover the flaw.

Now that Sun Yiyan said that he had a more subtle skill crossbow, how could Tai Shici not be interested.

Sun Yi pointed his gun at Tai Shici and Zhou Yu, "The two generals can lead their soldiers to have a drill with the crossbow cavalry under my command, and you can know the strength of my crossbow cavalry." ”

Tai Shi Ci took the lead in the battle, "The third prince just let go and try, and he should face the battle." ”

For the sake of insurance, Zhou Yu selected 100 people under his command and 100 people in the hard labor camp, holding a shield and guarding the front.

Sun Ce personally beat the drums, and all the generals gathered around the school field, wanting to see what kind of treasure this skill repeater was, which made Sun Yi so confident.

The drums were thundering, and the soldiers of the hard labor battalion stacked the shields layer upon layer according to the instructions, and the spearmen under the command of Zhou Yu were hidden behind the shields, and the light cavalry led by Tai Shici were surrounded by the shields.

I saw Sun Yi take the lead in attacking, and the soldiers rode in, pulling the trigger fifty paces away, and crossbow arrows flew like rain towards the shield soldiers from all directions.

In just a few breaths, the shield was shot through, and the soldiers with the shield fell in pieces.

The spearmen behind the shield soldiers also saw the opportunity, and stabbed out their spears in the gap between the shields to defend, Sun Yi also saw the time and sent the arrows in, only to hear the soldiers in the shield array let out the screams of wounded.

And the generals who were fighting outside the formation were also stunned by the scene in front of them.
