After returning to the pavilion, Xu Chu looked sullen, and immediately went to find Cheng Yu to tell him about it. Cheng Yu listened, and after a slight sigh, he smiled and said: "Zhongkang doesn't need to be like this, Yangzhou has this intention, and there is no person in his army who is so superb as Zhongkang." On that day, Zhongkang was mighty, and Yangzhou was up and down, but I am afraid that until now, I still have lingering palpitations. ”

Cao Chun laughed heartlessly beside him. didn't take Xu Chu seriously at all. After lingering in Yangzhou for a while, things went well, and Cheng Yu finally planned to go back. After bidding farewell to Sun Jian, Cheng Yu, accompanied by Xu Chu and Cao Chun, embarked on the return journey.

After Cheng Yu and the others left, Zhou Yu came to see Sun Ce and said to Sun Ce worriedly: "Bo Fu, during the period when Cheng Yu and others were in Yangzhou, many of his subordinates had ears and eyes to listen to the truth of our army everywhere, and they were afraid that Cao Cao would be an alliance with me and have bad intentions. ”

Why did Cao Cao send Cao Chun and Xu Chu. Because these two people are from Peiguo, they are only separated from Jiujiang County by Huaishui. And Cao and Xu Chu are still very appealing between Huaisi. Cao Chun's brother Cao Ren was a ranger between Huaisi back then, gathering more than 1,000 swordsmen and rangers, and Cao Cao is still in the army, and there are still many such masters. If Xu Chu didn't know a few chivalrous people, his ability couldn't have fallen from the sky?

Cao Chun and Xu Chu appeared in Yangzhou, naturally they had a connection with the past. These people got the signal of Cao Chun and Xu Chu, and when they heard the wind, they collected intelligence for the Cao family in several counties in Yangzhou.

These people were originally the key monitoring targets of the Yangzhou government, and this move alarmed the government, so they immediately reported to the local garrison. After Zhou Yu heard the letter, he personally took over and secretly monitored, and this investigation found out their purpose. And their behind-the-scenes command is undoubtedly Cao Cao's envoy.

So as soon as Cheng Yu left, Zhou Yu showed up and reported his findings to Sun Ce. When Sun Ce heard this, his face was silent, but his heart was extremely angry. If it weren't for his father's insistence on making peace with the Cao family, he would have raised troops to fight Cao Cao for Jingzhou back then, and how could Cao Cao have the situation of swallowing Yizhou today? It's just that his father has an order, and he doesn't dare to disobey.

Sun Ce said: "Cao Cao didn't dare to raise troops to the north, but he had the heart to annex Jiangdong. He's got a good appetite. Hum! Gong Jin, pass on my order, Jingzhou from now on, the inside is tight and the outside is loose, and Cao Jun is strictly guarded! ”

Zhou Yu gave up his promise.

Sun Ce said again: "Now Liu Xuande is in the north, Dingliaodong, but Xianbei, through the Western Regions, so big momentum, now it is new to Yanzhou, the world has been half of it, and it is even more difficult to control, Gongjin, can you have a good strategy to teach me?" ”

The situation is different from that of history. After Cao Cao pacified Wuhuan and completely eliminated Yuan Shao's forces, he was ready to march south. Although there is still Ma Chao in Guanzhong, he also brought Ma Teng to his side as a hostage. Under such circumstances, in the eyes of Cao Cao and his ministers, there was almost no possibility of failure in the Southern Expedition. As a result, under the blow of the allied forces of Liu and Sun, the army fell apart, and Cao Cao retreated north in a hurry.

Now Liu Bei is holding Beiding in his hands, but there is still a Yuzhou in the middle of Jingzhou. Therefore, Zhou Yu believes that he should still have a chance. Of course, the chance of a comeback is small and small, unless Liu Bei is unconscious, otherwise even if Liu Bei is dead now, if he already has an heir, the northern group will not collapse. It's just that if it is done well, it is not impossible to be a prince of one side.

Opportunities, in Zhou Yu's view, are two. The more conservative one is to join forces with Cao Cao and hold together to resist the great pressure from the north. Then he cultivated internal affairs, trained strong soldiers outside, and waited for the changes in the world.

The one who rushed forward was to take advantage of the fact that Yanzhou Xinding, and Yuzhou was also in Cao Cao's hands, and Liu Bei was also going to take a breath, so he simply turned his face with Cao Cao, raised troops to attack Jingzhou, and completely held Jingzhou in his hands. This strategy, in Zhou Yu's view, has a very high chance of success. However, Zhou Yu did not intend to suggest it to Sun Ce.

Because, it is easy to conquer Jingzhou, but it is difficult to defend Jingzhou. After turning the other cheek with Cao Cao, Jingzhou will be hit by Cao's army on both Yizhou and Yuzhou. When the time comes, Cao Jun will never show mercy.

Although Zhou Yu is confident that he can hold Jingzhou, don't forget that there is still a Liu Bei in the north who is eyeing him. If the Cao family and Yangzhou fought, Liu Bei would not take the opportunity to do something, and he would have been in vain for so many years. Zhou Yu didn't want the snipe and the clam to fight each other, and the fisherman would benefit. Moreover, the current situation is indeed inappropriate to make a big move. Especially against allies.

After hearing that Zhou Yu still suggested repairing with Cao Cao's two families, huddling together to keep warm, and resisting the pressure from the north together. Then after waiting for the opportunity, Sun Ce also sighed. No way, the situation is stronger than people. What could he do?

At that time, the princes of the world were divided, and the mountains in the north were numerous, and there was no place for the Sun family to stand at all. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Tao Qian, not to mention Guanzhong, more than a dozen warlords were in chaos. The father and son also had a hard time and made countless efforts to seize such a safe place in Yangzhou.

As a result, after leveling Yangzhou, when you look at it again, you are surrounded by strong neighbors. Only Jiaozhou is a soft pestle. finally waited for an opportunity to rush Jingzhou, and was taken by Cao Cao at the same time. After a fight, I had no choice but to accept the fact that the two families were divided equally.

was trapped in Yangzhou, and when he looked at the world again, Liu Bei in the north had already risen strongly. Sun Ce was also very helpless in his heart. What can be done, after all, as powerful as Yuan Shao, he was defeated so quickly.

Sun Ce held his breath, pinched his nose and had to accept the fact that he joined forces with Cao Cao to fight against Liu Bei. And you have to be on guard against this unreliable ally from suddenly hacking.

Cao's activities in Yangzhou have proved that Cao Cao is not a good stubble. Sun Ce was silent for a while, and then said: "Send a letter to Cao Cao, emphasizing that the two families will benefit both sides if they work together, and divide them will do two harms." lest he stare at me with all his heart. ”

Zhou Yu nodded yes. That's all there is to it.

Although they had the heart to be wary of Cao Cao, they didn't know that Cao Cao had already made a decision in his heart to attack Jingzhou. Zhou Yu didn't want to fight Jingzhou, because after defeating Jingzhou, he had to bear too much pressure. There are Yuzhou soldiers and horses in the north, and there are Yuzhou soldiers and horses in the west. Neither of these armies was easy to deal with. The Yizhou army can go down the river and attack in several ways. Yuzhou is next to Nanyang, a strategic place in Jingzhou. And he had to be on guard against Liu Bei's reaction from time to time, so Zhou Yu felt that attacking Jingzhou would outweigh the losses.

But Cao Cao didn't think so. He attacked Jingzhou from Yizhou, and if it was defeated, the three prefectures of Henan, Jing, and Yizhou would be completely connected. At that time, whether he was facing Liu Bei's attack in the north or dealing with Yangzhou's reaction, he was not afraid at all.

Especially against Yangzhou. He has enough self-confidence. Jingzhou and Yuzhou are both above Yangzhou. If Yangzhou dares to use troops, Cao Cao will let Sun Ce see how powerful he is.
