After listening to Chen Yan's long sigh, everyone knew that this matter was indeed difficult to do, and now judging from Chen Yan's strategic situation, it is more than enough to defend himself, but if it is an attack, it is really insufficient.

In addition to Chen Yan's armament problem, there is another important issue, which is the emperor's instructions.

At this time, in the whole world, it was not Cao Cao who needed to be attacked the most, but Yuan Shu.

Why?

Because Yuan Shu is the emperor! Even if Cao Cao has any problems, at least he is still respectful to the Son of Heaven on the surface, and he never dares to overstep his authority, and he still calls himself Cao Cao, the assassin of Yanzhou. Except for the slaughter of Xuzhou, which is really a bit against the holy will, he has not done anything rebellious.

And Yuan Shu is openly proclaimed emperor, with a yellow robe, and even the jade seal of the country has been stolen into his hands, such a scourge, how can the little emperor tolerate him living in the world?

Chen Yan also understands this matter, although the Son of Heaven did not officially order Chen Yan to attack Yuan Shu, but if Chen Yan did not attack Yuan Shu at this time, but sent troops to deal with Cao Cao, then I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will suspect Chen Yan of bad intentions.

Jia Xu also sighed and said: "For today's plan, we still need to get rid of Yuan Shu, the pseudo-emperor, first." ”

Sima Yi nodded and said: "Yes, Yuan Shu is a big problem for his henchmen, and I am afraid that it is also the symptoms of the saint, if we send troops east at this time to attack Cao Cao, the Son of Heaven will definitely doubt our loyalty." ”

Chen Yan scratched his head and said, "But this Cao Cao is a tiger wolf, not a thing in the pool, I'm afraid that after we send troops to fight Yuan Shu, Cao Cao will rise." ”

Sima Yi frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly thought: "Why don't we use the excuse of insufficient troops and hold our troops for the time being?" ”

Chen Yan and Jia Xu were both dazzled, the two looked at each other and smiled, and said, "This is a good idea!" ”

If you talk about the situation, Chen Yan at this time not only settled in Guanzhong, but also occupied Wancheng, Xucheng, Chenliu and other big cities, as long as it develops steadily, it is a matter of time before the army prospers.

And looking at the besieging Yuan Shu, they are all people who urgently need to expand the leader. Among them, Lu Bu needless to say, the little Xuzhou may not be able to fit his big Buddha, and Sun Ce has always been an insatiable guy, as for Liu Biao, Chen Yan feels that he is really in the loyal Han family, otherwise he will never send troops in vain with his character of guarding.

Chen Yan is not in a hurry to expand his territory, because his territory has been expanding wildly in the past year, and what he needs more at this time is to continue to operate, otherwise it is very likely that he will not succeed in greed, but will suffer from it.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan sincerely felt that Sima Yi's idea was a good idea.

He stood up with a smile, looked at Chen Xunzhi, who was already asleep not far away, and whispered, "Xiao Xunzhi, Daddy can stay with you for a few more days......

……

And at this time, this spring season, Shouchun City is a desolate scene, Yuan Shu in the face of the three-way army, has already been defeated and retreated, out of the southwest can barely withstand Liu Bei's general Cai Mao's offensive, the southeast and northeast directions are defeated like a mountain.

There is no way, there is a perfect combination of the little overlord Sun Ce and Mei Zhoulang in the southeast, and the northeast is the terrifying flying general Lu Bu with Zhang Liao's sharp minions, if Yuan Shu can withstand it, it will be a strange thing.

At this time, Yuan Shu was wearing a dragon robe, standing on the city wall of Shouchun, looking at the rows of military camps under the city.

The military camp is on the plain to the north, with the flag of "Lu", which is the camp of the flying general Lu Bu.

Although Sun Ce was a pioneer in a hurry, he didn't know why at this time, so he didn't rush forward, but stationed far away on the highlands in the extreme south of Shouchun.

The two war gods, one south and one north, joined forces at the same time, and Yuan Shu's face was about to turn the color of pig liver.

"What can I do about it......" Yuan Shu sighed, his tone extremely sad.

At this time, Ji Ling, the most important general under his command, was not beside him, but was far west to resist Cai Mao, and there was no general in his hands who could handle it. Besides, no matter how general he is, in front of Sun Ce and Lu Bu, I'm afraid he is just a papier-mâché tiger.

Not to mention that Lu Bu has won several games in a row, and his morale is like a rainbow, at this time, in the camp in the south of Shouchun City, Sun Ce is sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, discussing the strategy of breaking the city with Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai and others.

Sun Ce had a red light on his face, obviously because he had fought too well in these battles, so he showed a smug expression.

On the side, Zhou Yu seemed to be thinking about something, obviously not as excited as Sun Ce.

Huang Gai was the most active one, he stood in the camp, walked around, and said, "Young master...... Shouchun City has so many troops, and there are no powerful generals under Yuan Shu, why don't we take them in one go? ”

Cheng Pu's face was calm, and he calmly explained: "Gongfu, don't be so anxious, at this time, Shouchun City is not surrounded by us, there is Lu Bu in the north, and the Gao Shun siege village under Lu Bu is a first-class good hand, if we are not careful, let Lu Bu's guy take advantage of the fisherman, but how can it be good?" ”

Sun Ce heard the word "Lu Bu", and seemed to be more and more excited, he smiled and said, "Lu Bu? Yes, Lu Bu is a good person, but I don't know if he is really as powerful as the legend, but unfortunately he is our alliance at this time, otherwise I will definitely meet him. ”

Zhou Yu suddenly smiled and said, "Bo Fu, if you want to meet him, I'm afraid you will have a chance soon." ”

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Oh? What opportunity, Gong Jin quickly give me an analysis and analysis. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Although Shouchun has persisted for several months, Yuan Shu has run out of oil, I am afraid that the city is about to be broken, Lu Bu has been coveting Shouchun for a long time, and he must want to occupy this place." But we have worked hard for a long time, and we can't give Shouchun to others...... When the time comes, as soon as Yuan Shu dies, the entire Shouchun City will be the key to our and Lu Bu's face......"

Sun Ce suddenly said: "That's true, Shouchun City is meat, how can our two wolves divide it equally?" ”

Han Dang laughed loudly and said, "The young master is really a good metaphor!" Hahahaha! ”

Cheng Pu showed a gloomy look on his face, and said: "In this case, let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and see what Lu Bu and Yuan Shu can fight, and wait for them to lose both, let's be on top?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Lu Bu is not stupid, besides, he has a clever person like Chen Gong under him, this trick is not appropriate." ”

Cheng Pu was refuted by Zhou Yu, a little dissatisfied, and immediately said loudly: "My trick is inappropriate, do you have any clever tricks?" ”

After saying this, I saw Zhou Yu's smile, handsome and incomparable, and he said softly: "Unfortunately, there is really a clever trick below." ”
