Chapter 35 Three Plays by the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu

It is said that Yuan Shu's 30,000 army was defeated by Zhang Fei's 5,000 men and horses, Sun Ce's 20,000 army was defeated by Liu Bei, Zhao Chen used a strategy to attack Guangling City, Liu Bei controlled the entire Guangling County, and so on.

Tai Shici and Sun Shao, who were waiting on the north bank of the Yangtze River, looked at Liu Bei's amazing battle report, and had different ideas in their hearts.

Sun Qian looked at Tai Shici and Sun Shao, who were a little thoughtful, and said what Zhao Chen had been telling him.

"General Ziyi bravely covers the world, and Mr. Changxu is brilliant in resourcefulness, and they are all rare talents in today's troubled times. My lord Liu Bei, thirsty for talent, now in Guangling City, will definitely win Xuzhou in the future and dominate the world. At the time of employing people, Zhao Chen, the military advisor of our family, admired the talents of the two for a long time, and specially told the cadres to express his welcome before leaving. Although Liu Zhengli and Liu Thorn Shi are the princes of one party, they are not as good as my military advisor in terms of wisdom and strategy, and they are not as good as my lord in terms of benevolence. However, my lord Liu Bei is the lord of one side, breaking Yuan Shu, retreating from Sun Ce, and rampaging in the south of the Yangtze River. If the two of you can be put into my lord's account, they will definitely be able to gallop on the battlefield and govern the party. What do you think? ”

When Tai Shici and Sun Shao heard this, they both fell silent.

The first time Tai Shici and Liu Bei met was to rescue Kong Rong in Beihai.

Although Tai Shici was full of stunts and ambitions, he didn't take it to heart at all in the face of Liu Bei, who was poor and white, and he didn't think that he would choose to join Liu Bei, after all, there were many lords who were better than Liu Bei.

So he went all the way south and found his fellow countryman Liu Xuan, wanting to show his ambitions.

Who knew that Liu Miao was a face-saving person, and in order not to be teased by Xu Shao, he gave Tai Shici an idle position.

In addition, Tai Shici went south alone, helpless, without any background forces, in Jiangnan, a place full of family power disputes, it is no problem to be reused.

Today's Liu Bei, with the help of Zhao Chen, has gone from having nothing in just over a month to becoming the male lord of Guangling County, the richest county in Xuzhou.

Tai Shici had to re-examine Liu Bei.

And Sun Shao was originally the Gong Cao of the Beihai Xiang Kong Rong, and he went south to the south with Liu Miao to show his ambitions. I thought that I had taken refuge in a male lord and could do a career in Jiangnan. Who knew that Liu Zhengli was vulnerable in front of Sun Ce, and was forced by Sun Ce step by step, retreating all the way to Qu'a. If it weren't for Liu Bei's attack on Guangling City this time and luring Sun Ce to the rescue, I'm afraid that Qu Adu would have been broken by Sun Ce at this time.

Therefore, Sun Shao felt that Liu Bei was indeed a potential stock, at least stronger than Liu Xuan.

In addition, it is the first time that Sun Shao has received such a high evaluation from a famous person.

In the face of Sun Gan's invitation, the two of them had their own thoughts.

Sun Qian also waited quietly, giving enough space for the two of them.

After all, this kind of persuasion to change hands is easy to leave the handle of disloyalty, and if the lord changes more, he will be called a slave with three surnames, just like Lu Bu.

According to Zhao Chen's instructions, it is naturally best to persuade them, and it doesn't matter if they can't be persuaded or not, they just need to leave seeds in the hearts of the two.

After thinking about it, the sentry came to report that Sun Ce led the defeated army towards the Yangtze River, which was less than twenty miles away from the camp.

Tai Shi Ci opened his mouth and said: "Liu Xuande is righteous! Mr. Gongyou, it's better to wait until Sun Ce's army is repelled before discussing it, how about it? ”

Sun Qian naturally agreed, pushing too hard to cause disgust, but it would have a bad effect.

After Tai Shi Ci returned the salute with his fists, he walked out of the camp and led the army to attack.

The two armies met by the river, and the condition of Sun Ce's army surprised everyone.

The chaotic formation, the tattered banners, and the originally majestic generals were now scattered around Sun Ce, all of them with gray faces and depressed faces.

The soldiers were disheveled, they all supported each other, limping forward, and they could no longer see the ruthlessness and perseverance in their eyes when they first set off.

The only few horses, with scattered blood clots, followed the group.

This is very different from the invincible Sun Ce army in Tai Shici's impression, not even a large army, just a group of homeless people who support each other, moving towards home with difficulty.

Seeing Tai Shici who suddenly appeared, this army was like a frightened bird, his eyes were full of fear, as if he was afraid of encountering danger again and encountering an ambush.

Tai Shi Ci regretted and was very curious about what Sun Ce's army had gone through, making an originally invincible group of men and horses decadent to such a state.

When Sun Ce and the others met Tai Shici, they were stunned for a long time, and then reacted, in front of them was the army of their sworn enemy Liu Xuan, and they hurriedly commanded the remnants of the army to endure the pain and line up to meet the enemy.

After a long time, the array never took shape.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu slowly walked up to Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu, Liu Xuan's army is in front of you, and the soldiers are exhausted and can't fight anymore. For the sake of today's plan, I am afraid that I can only go up to sue for peace, let me go back to Jiangnan, return Moling City, and no longer violate the boundary. ”

Han Dang couldn't listen to it anymore, and immediately objected: "Zhou Yu'er, why do you say this, we are such a dignified man, following the lord is to conquer the city and establish a meritorious career, how can there be a reason to bow your head and ask for others, and no longer fight for hegemony!" ”

Seeing that Han Dang was so excited, Zhou Yu's heart was cold, and he didn't want to explain anymore, so he waited for Sun Ce to decide.

Sun Ce knew in his heart that the soldiers were already miserable, and they had just taken a breath, and they could no longer withstand the fierce battle.

But how could he put down his arrogant face and make peace with Liu Xuan's army, wouldn't this be a loss of the Sun family's face, how to face Jiangdong's father in the future.

After all, Zhou Yu was very smart, and he saw Sun Ce's hesitation, so he had to volunteer: "Bo Fu, it's better to let Yu go and explore the future, if it can be done, we can be regarded as having a way out." Even if it doesn't work, it's my Zhou Yu's problem, and it has nothing to do with Bo Fu. ”

Sun Ce didn't think about it, and nodded in agreement.

With a little loss, Zhou Yu came to the Taishi Ci array and expressed his intentions.

Tai Shi Ci couldn't make up his mind, Sun Qian suggested: "I see that Sun Ce's army still has thousands of people, General Ziyi might as well agree to Zhou Yu's request, first, he will not offend those Sun family soldiers in Jiangdong, and secondly, he will also give Sun Ce a face, if he really forces the dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, there will be damage on both sides." ”

Sun Qian kept Zhao Chen's entrustment in mind and asked Liu Qian to send Tai Shici and Sun Shao to intercept Sun Ce's army, firstly, to let the two of them see the tragic situation of Sun Ce's army and let them understand Liu Bei's strength, and secondly, Zhao Chen had ambitions to subdue the important strategists and generals on both sides of Liu Miao and Sun Ce, and not let them settle grievances, so as not to get the situation of disunity under the same account.

Tai Shici glanced at Sun Shao.

Sun Shao said he had no opinion.

The two agreed with Sun Gan's suggestion.

Sun Qian rode his horse close to Zhou Yu and said softly: "Gongjin is fine, my military advisor Zhao Chen told me,......"

Before Sun Qian finished speaking, Zhou Yu was taken aback, who was Zhao Chen, and he actually said that he had moved Liu Qian and sent a large army to wait here.

There is only one sentence in his mind now: "Zhao Chen's plan, I might as well do it." ”

Sun Qian smiled slightly, he was used to this kind of scene, so he waited for Zhou Yu for a while, and was ready to finish speaking.

"My military advisor told me that if I met Gongjin here, I would persuade Liu Xuan's army to let him go. In addition, Jian Yong Jian Xianhe had already been ordered by the military division to prepare several ships in Dantu to help the army cross the river. ”

"Gong Jin, please!"

In front of Sun Ce and everyone, Sun Qian made a "please" gesture to Zhou Yu, as if he wanted to invite Zhou Yu into the army.

It turned out that Sun Ce, who was a hundred steps away, looked at it as if Zhou Yu had taken refuge in the other party.

When Han Dang saw it, he snorted and scolded: "Zhou Yu'er was uneasy and kind, and went to say peace, but he became the opposite person. ”

It's okay if he doesn't say it, this statement makes Sun Ce's doubts about Zhou Yu bigger and bigger.

Zhou Yu came back to his senses, thanked Sun Qian, and hurriedly turned around and walked back.

Zhou Yu, who returned to the camp, always felt that other people's eyes were full of suspicion when they looked at him.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu suddenly realized.

All this was arranged by Zhao Chen, and he had already expected that Sun Ce would not pull down his face to make peace, and the task of making peace could only fall on him.

When he appeared in front of Sun Qian, all the results were already doomed.

His begging, hostility, bowing his head, and remorse were all in Zhao Chen's arrangement.

Zhou Yu smiled helplessly in his heart: "This is the third time, and it has been teased by Zhao Chen for the third time since last night." This god-like character can play him far away in Guangling City, what a demon! ”

However, it is not without gains, at least Zhou Yu has seen the most serious problem in Sun Ce's group step by step: distrust and disunity.
