After Liu Zheng joined Zhou Yu's men, he did not plan to continue to stay in Xuzhou City.

After all, from the time he received the news, Yuan Xi's men and horses would not invade Jizhou for too long.

Although he had already sent Xu Huang, Tai Shici and others to lead the vanguard army first and go to support Xu Jizhou.

But there are not enough of these people, and even if they go, they won't be able to bring much help to Jizhou.

At most, it was to help Yuan Shang in Jizhou block Yuan Xi's attack.

However, it is not so easy to drive Yuan Xi and others out of Jizhou.

It still needs to be after the large army led by Liu Zheng gradually arrives in Jizhou before the final showdown with Yuan Xi can be launched.

It's a pity that Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses are distributed in Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Qingzhou and other places are not gathered in one place, and it will take a certain amount of time to gather these soldiers and horses.

And Yuan Xi and these people naturally won't wait for Liu Zheng to gather troops and horses.

Therefore, Liu Zheng must also hurry up and arrive at Jizhou as soon as possible while Yuan Xi's men have not completely captured Jizhou.

Liu Zheng's words, after the order.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, the two immediately issued a military order, and let the soldiers and horses on both sides of the road begin to assemble, ready to congratulate Liu Zheng's army on its pace, and gradually pass in the direction of Jizhou.

All the dynamics of Xuzhou will be handed over to the local assassin history for temporary management.

Originally, Liu Zheng planned that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would only bring one over.

However, considering the friendship between the two of them, and the need to cultivate some tacit understanding for them, it may be better to face the battlefield directly.

After all, there aren't many such opportunities.

After thinking about it, I decided to take them with me. Give them a mix of military merits.

After all, they graduated directly from the military academy to lead an army.

There is no combat experience at all, nor any military merits, in fact, there are still some people who question their strength in private.

Although they didn't dare to say anything because of Liu Zheng's face, Liu Zheng's Jinyiwei also occasionally told Liu Zheng that there were a few generals who still had some opinions about Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who couldn't lead an army at a young age.

After all, in terms of seniority and age, there are indeed a few generals who are much stronger than them.

There must have been some unconvincing.

After all, Sun Ce's father is Sun Jian, and Zhou Yu's master is Liu Zheng.

They can be in high positions, and they must also be nepotistic. Naturally, some people will question it.

Liu Zheng actually believes in them and knows their strength, but others don't know.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, when Liu Zheng wanted to give them a performance, let those who questioned Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's strength shut their mouths.

Zhou Yu took the initiative to let the army follow behind Liu Zheng's convoy.

Sun Ce led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the front in a hurry, and as a pioneer to explore the way for Liu Zheng's men and horses to sweep away all dangers.

Lu Qiling and Zhou Yu rode horses, one left and one right, guarding on the left and right of Liu Zheng's convoy.

Zhou Yu is actually about the same age as Lu Qiling, and they belong to the same graduating class.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a classmate.

It's just that I was a classmate before, but now my identity has changed.

In the past, Zhou Yu's name was Lu Qiling, so she was called Miss Qiling.

But now when he sees Lu Qiling again, Zhou Yu really wants to call him Shiniang.

"Master, disciple Zhou Yu, I've seen Master."

Zhou Yu said hello to Lu Qiling in half-joking words.

The two were classmates before, they were already very acquainted, and they were friends in private, and even Zhou Yu still had a good impression of Lu Qiling.

Now he is saying this to Lu Qiling, first, he has some feelings, and secondly, he wants to catch up with his former classmates.

Lu Qiling didn't have much feeling for Zhou Yu, and when she heard Zhou Yu call herself like this, she couldn't accept it for a while, after all, she was younger than Zhou Yu.

"You...... This, forget it, don't call me my master, they all call people old, you still call me Qiling. ”

"Then how can it be done, the etiquette can't be bad, you are my master's woman, if I still call your name, but it will be disrespectful, Master, you are right."

Zhou Yu smiled and said to Liu Zheng.

After all, he has been with Liu Zheng for a long time, and Zhou Yu is very familiar with Liu Zheng's temper and character.

Knowing that Liu Zheng is usually a person who likes to joke, and he is not easy to get angry, it is not something that particularly makes Liu Zheng uncomfortable, and generally Liu Zheng will not put on an unhappy appearance.

And Zhou Yu is very smart, knowing that if Liu Zheng is angry, there must be a precursor, and when Liu Zheng doesn't show that kind of look, Zhou Yu can still joke casually.

"No, no, you can't call it that."

Lu Qiling immediately stopped it.

And turned his head to look at Liu Zheng, it seemed that there was a look of asking Liu Zheng for help, and on that strong little face, when he met a nerd like Zhou Yu, he was a little helpless.

can only hope for Liu Zheng and want Liu Zheng to speak.

Liu Zheng looked at Lu Qiling's anxious and a little helpless, but she was really cute, and she couldn't bear to let her have this embarrassment, so she immediately said a word to Zhou Yu.

"Okay, Ah Yu, don't joke with Qiling, Master just wants to test you."

Liu Zheng called Zhou Yu to his side, intending to ask Zhou Yu about going to Jizhou this time and the Northern Expedition to the aliens.

When Zhou Yu saw Liu Zheng's expression, he knew that Liu Zheng had something serious to ask him, so naturally he wouldn't joke with Lu Qiling anymore, and immediately came to Liu Zheng's side. 、

"Master, if you have something, just tell me."

"Actually, it's not a thing, I just want to discuss with you how to act this time when we raise a large army to the north."

Liu Zheng's matter had been discussed by his advisers before, and even Guo Jia, the chief strategist Liu Zheng brought with him at this time, had also discussed some issues with Liu Zheng before.

However, Liu Zheng has not yet made up his mind.

In addition, after meeting Zhou Yu at this time, Liu Zheng wanted to see what kind of thoughts Zhou Yu, a young man, would have.

"Master wants to ask me how to deal with that Yuan Xi?"

After Zhou Yu heard Liu Zheng's question, he frowned slightly, but it was just a simple change in expression, and he quickly eased up.

didn't wait long, and then reopened his mouth to answer Liu Zheng.

"Master, in fact, it is not difficult to deal with Yuan Xi, then Yuan Xi is just the remnants of the Yuan family, and the soldiers and horses under his command are not strong, if we want to eliminate him, it is as easy as a hand, the difficult thing is those aliens around him, and it is the most difficult to completely eliminate them."

"However, I did have a plan in mind before, and it might work."

Zhou Yu seemed to have thought about this question for a long time, and when Liu Zheng asked about it at this time, he said it directly.
