Chapter 549: Tearing the Skin
The entire Yanzhou was in full swing, but Guan Yu and Zhao Yun in Xiapicheng chose not to move.
Such an abnormal situation made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu puzzled. Could it be that Liu Yu knew that they were going to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yu finally found that he and the others had entered a misunderstanding. They all took it for granted that Liu Yu would send troops from Xiapi City, and they also thought that Liu Yu would not be aware of the connection between Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
"It seems that Liu Yu has already seen through our arrangement." Zhou Yu said helplessly.
"Gong Jin, don't waste any time, just go straight to Liu Yu!" Sun Ce doesn't care, anyway, he has to fight in the end, and the result is the same.
"Let's wait." Zhou Yu was not as straightforward as Sun Ce, and he had a lot to consider, such as the comparison of forces, the erratic riots in the occupied territory, and all other factors.
"Are you waiting?!" Sun Ce was about to scream out.
"Bo Fu, you only know how to fight. But you don't know where we are. Due to the rebellion in Guangling County, a lot of military power was spent, and it would be a fantasy to attack Xiapi at the moment. I originally planned to make a surprise attack while Xiapi was sending troops, so that I could capture Xiapi at the least cost and capture the supplies of Xiapi City to replenish our army. Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Sun Ce's mind is not bad, but with the presence of Zhou Yu, he has less to worry about things like logistics and military affairs. Hearing Zhou Yu say this, Sun Ce's desire to fight dropped a lot. With Sun Ce's current strength, it is definitely a big challenge to openly attack Xiapi.
"Then we'll have to wait." Sun Ce said.
And Liu Yu, who was far away in Luoyang, was watching the battle report from Yanzhou, and Zhang Liao, Ma Chao, and Lu Bu all came with good news, which made Liu Yu very pleased.
"The progress of Wen Yuan, Meng Qi, and Feng Xian is very gratifying." Liu Yu said happily.
Li Gui, Chen Gong, Fu Zhu and others said respectfully: "It's all Your Majesty's command and dispatch." ”
Liu Yu knew that this was the flattery of these people, and where he had any command and dispatch, it was all the credit of the gang of the Military Aircraft Department and the front-line soldiers.
Liu Yu couldn't help frowning when he saw that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were still on the move, and said, "Is there any restlessness on this Sun Ce's side?" ”
"Your Majesty, according to the news from the Dark Ministry, Cao Cao has sent an envoy before, so I don't know what conspiracy they have. Mr. Guo Tu felt that he was not safe, so he did not send troops. Li Gui said.
Liu Yu smiled coldly and said, "Do you still have doubts?" They must have come to an agreement. It seems that Sun Ce wants to force me to do something to him. ”
"Your Majesty, Sun Ce's heart has been revealed. But if you do something to him, I'm afraid that the teacher will be unknown, after all, he is still very honest now, and he was in a joint relationship with us before. rashly sent troops, lest the world laugh at them. Huang Zhong came out to express his hesitation.
"General, this matter is easy. Only His Majesty issued a document for Sun Ce to attack Cao Cao, depending on how he chose. Chen Gong said with a smile.
Liu Yu felt that it was right, as long as he issued a document on his side for Sun Ce to attack Cao Cao, if Sun Ce agreed, then Liu Yu could attack Yanzhou boldly with confidence. If Sun Ce was unmoved or openly opposed, then Liu Yu would have an excuse to do something to Sun Ce. Sun Ce was still nominally a courtier of the Han court, and whether he accepted the orders of Liu Yu or Liu Xie, Liu Yu could openly crusade against him on the charge of a rebellious minister and a thief.
Frustrated and said: "Lord, you still have to let the Xiapi City side pay more attention, after all, Cao Cao's side will also send troops to support Yanzhou, in case Cao Cao turns around to attack Xuzhou, then General Guan and General Zhao will be in danger." ”
After thinking for a while, Liu Yu said: "Order Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan to each send 5,000 soldiers and horses from Beihai to support Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. After arriving in Xuzhou, Zhang Xiu went to Xiapi City. Zhang Yan and Chen Bing Donghai Guochest County, once Sun Ce makes a move, I will give him the opportunity to dictate the military aircraft! In addition, tell Guo Tu that now is the time for him to exert his abilities, and I only need to drive Sun Ce out of Xuzhou! ”
"I'll do as I was told!" The people took the command.
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan were originally very enthusiastic watching the battle of several large armies in Yanzhou, but without Liu Yu's order, they could not leave their station.
After Liu Yu's military order was issued, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yan immediately stopped the troops as quickly as if they had been beaten and headed towards Xuzhou.
At the same time, the documents issued by Liu Yu to Sun Ce have been sent to Sun Ce. Previously, Liu Yu exchanged letters with Sun Ce on an almost equal footing. This time, Liu Yu directly commanded Sun Ce as an emperor and a courtier, and Sun Ce had to agree.
As soon as Sun Ce saw this document, his face was so cold that it was almost frozen.
After Zhou Yu saw this document, he suggested to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, it seems that we have to do it!" ”
"Of course! Liu Yu has already become suspicious of us, and must have started the relevant arrangements. I, Sun Ce, won't let him deal with me easily! Command the whole army, raise the army, and attack the East China Sea Country! Sun Ce couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to fight with all his might.
Attacking the East China Sea was the right choice, as it could cut off the connection between Xiapi City and the outside world. The strength of the East China Sea Kingdom is also much weaker than that of Xia Picheng, and if Sun Ce takes the East China Sea Kingdom, it will be much less difficult.
Zhou Yu immediately sent a letter to Cao Cao, stating that Sun Ce's side would take action against the East China Sea Kingdom, cut off the connection between Xiapi City and the outside world, and make Xiapi an isolated city. Zhou Yu hoped that Cao Cao could send troops from Xiaopei to hold back the forces of Xiapicheng, and finally the two sides worked together to take Xiapicheng.
Of course, Cao Cao would not object, the threat of Xiapi City in Xuzhou was huge, if Guan Yu and Zhao Yun sent troops from Xiapi and contributed to the area of Xiaopei and Fengjun, then the connection between Yuzhou and Yanzhou would be severed. Cao Cao immediately ordered Xiao Pei's Cao Hongsun to send troops to help when he attacked Xuzhou.
Sun Ce, who received Cao Cao's affirmative reply, set off from Guangling County, Xuzhou, and pounced on the East China Sea Kingdom, under the pretext that Liu Yu usurped the throne and became the emperor.
The defenders of the East China Sea Kingdom put up a stubborn resistance, but unfortunately the lack of troops led to the defeat of Liu's army. Seeing the decline of Liu Jun, Sun Ce was arrogant for a while, ready to take the East China Sea Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Zhang Yan and Zhang Xiu were still on their way to the East China Sea Kingdom, but when they heard that Sun Ce's army had entered the East China Sea Kingdom, they frantically urged their soldiers to speed up their journey.
Zhao Yun and Guan Yu in Xiapi City were furious when they received the news. This Sun Ce is too much of a thing, he actually dares to attack Xuzhou, fortunately, His Majesty and the military advisers are prepared in advance, otherwise, they will really be taken advantage of by Sun Ce, this kid.
"Ben will go to meet this little overlord! Zilong, you stay in Xiapi City to prevent Cao Hong's attack! Guan Yu couldn't sit still, how could he let Sun Ce, this kid, be so arrogant.
Zhao Yun nodded and agreed to Guan Yu's proposal.
Guan Yu led 10,000 soldiers and horses towards the East China Sea Kingdom, and he decided to give Sun Ce a color.
