However, Zhou Yu, who heard the letter, put forward another different opinion: "Now I heard that Cao Cao is trapped in Yizhou, and Cao Ren, the general of Jingzhou, has led troops north. Jingzhou is empty, and in the opinion of the last general, it is better to ignore Yan and Yu, and lead a large army to raid Jingzhou. In this way, with Jing and Yang in hand, Cao Cao was defeated, and the lord was able to fight against Liu Bei. ”

Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he heard this. What Zhou Yu said is deeply in line with his wishes. Wouldn't it be better to attack Jingzhou than to send troops to support Cao Cao, and directly attack Jingzhou when Cao Cao was in trouble?

At that time, Jing and Yang will be connected as one, whether it is attacking or defending, they will have enough advantages to resist Liu Bei.

After Sun Jian listened to Zhou Yu's words, he was silent for nearly a pillar of incense, and finally, Sun Jian slowly shook his head and rejected Zhou Yu's proposal.

Zhou Yu's eyes were full of disappointment.

Zhou Yu was together, and Sun Ce couldn't help but hurriedly say: "My lord, Gongjin's words are really a good plan, why don't you allow it?" ”

Sun Jian sighed lightly, looked at Sun Ce, and said, "My son, this time, that time." If Xuande is not peaceful and cool, there is a tendency to unify the north, and Mengde can compete for Jingzhou. There are three things that cannot be done about this. Today, the rise of Xuande in the north is unstoppable, and I Yangzhou is difficult to support alone, which is also one of them. I was allied with Meng De before, and I betrayed it in times of crisis, and I was in the middle of my life, and I disdained this matter. This is also the second. If he betrayed the alliance and attacked Jingzhou, Meng De was angry and ordered the soldiers of Yan and Yu to abandon his land and lead troops to attack me. This is also the third. Gongjin Marshal Minister, if you had met me five years earlier, the world would not have been like this, what a pity! ”

Sun Ceyou didn't believe it: "Cao Cao is far away in Yizhou, and Xichuan has not yet gone down, how dare he be my enemy?" ”

Sun Jian smiled: "You're going to rob his Jingzhou, why doesn't he dare?" "Bo Fu, you're still too young. If our army dares to move Jingzhou, Meng De will 100% flip the table, and the two families will break up, even if it will be cheaper, Xuande will not let me have a better time in Yangzhou. Because, your father and I are all the way to Mengde. I will do it, and he will do it naturally.

Sun Jian said: "Okay, according to Xiahou Yuan's request, when appropriate, send troops to help." In times of crisis, Mo Han's allies were heartbroken. ”

Sun Ce had no choice but to retire.

After coming out, he looked for Zhou Yu and drank wine together in the family tavern. When the wine was half-drunk, Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, I can't persuade my father." After speaking, he relayed Sun Jian's words to Zhou Yu.

When Zhou Yu heard this, he had no choice but to sigh.

The eldest husband should carry a three-foot sword and establish an immortal deed. It's a pity that after the lord was seriously injured, Huwei was no more. And Bo Fu, on top of such a big thing, can't be autonomous. It's a shame.

In Zhou Yu's opinion, in this world, the three major princes, Liu Bei must not be provoked at present. If he still wants to develop, he can only go west and attack Cao Cao.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao was in danger, Cao Cao and his own side played bad chess, did not support Yuan Shao in time, and insisted on robbing Jingzhou. As a result, Yuan Shao disappeared in an instant, so that Liu Bei was in the north and no one could control it. And Jingzhou, which was in his heart, was also robbed half of it by Cao Cao. The lord was also seriously injured in the battle of Jingzhou, and the root of his illness has not healed to this day. It's more than worth the loss.

Now Cao Cao occupies the three most elite counties in Jingzhou, and then took the opportunity to enter Yizhou. However, the strategy of dividing the world that he proposed was interrupted. The general trend of the world is changing at any time, and if you are slow, you will be slow. Cao Cao ruined his own affairs, but now he is asking for an alliance against Liu Bei. The lord even agreed?

Zhou Yu thought to himself that the period when Liu Bei pacified Yan and Yu was actually the time of Yangzhou's rapid development. As long as the surprise attack on Nanjun and Xiangyang succeeds. Regardless of him, Cao Cao turned his face and didn't turn his face. There are Jing, Yang, and Jiao three states in hand. Then take the opportunity to lead troops into Xichuan, defeat Cao Cao, and occupy Yizhou. In this way, there is still something to be done in the world. Otherwise, help Cao Cao deal with Liu Bei. Wait for Cao Cao to pacify Yizhou and gain a firm foothold, and then come to Yangzhou to grab Jingzhou?

As long as Cao Cao wins Xichuan, the situation will be different, and Yangzhou will become the weakest party. Can't the lord see this situation?

Each has its own concerns. Sun Jian was afraid of being burned, and Zhou Yu sighed that he missed the opportunity.

Just when Yangzhou was full of contradictions. Yanzhou Snake Hill City is broken.

After Zhang Fei heard that Xiahou had arrived in Gang County, he decisively launched a night attack. He attacked the city at night, and made Tai Shici lead his troops to ambush in the waterway between Gangxian and Snake Hill. He also made Wei Yan lead his troops to ambush outside the city.

Zang Ba is brave and unparalleled, but the morale of his subordinates is low. At night, when the Han army attacked the city, there was a great chaos. They each cried their fathers and shouted their mothers, and they scattered in all directions.

Zang Ba and Sun Guan and others killed more than a dozen people in a row, but they couldn't stop the decline.

Yin Li came to see Zang Ba with a bloody blade, and said with an anxious expression: "Xuangao, it's all messy, the soldiers can't find the generals, and the soldiers can't find the soldiers." Hurry up and put away the parts, let's withdraw, it'll be too late if you don't leave. ”

As he spoke, he heard a burst of cheers from behind, and when he looked back, there was a fire in the east. Zang Ba looked solemn and said, "The city is broken." ”

The city was broken, and the Han army carried torches, swords and guns, and slaughtered into the eastern city. Under the leadership of the commander, it has advanced into the city layer by layer.

Zang Ba saw that he couldn't do anything, so he had to say to the generals: "Gather your cronies and retreat." ”

Those who ran around were all newly recruited young people, who had not been tempered and disciplined for a long time, and their minds were too tense, and finally collapsed when the pressure reached a critical point. As long as one person can't stand it, he will lead a group of people to blow up the camp. This kind of thing will often happen in future generations, let alone at this time.

In the dark night, the soldiers and horses were running around, and there was chaos all around, and Zang Ba couldn't press it if he wanted to. Rushed by the chaotic army, he knew that it was impossible to defend the city again. I can only lead my henchmen as much as possible, evacuate this place, and preserve my strength for the future.

Zang Ba led the men and horses and rushed out of Xicheng all the way. Looking back at the snake hill, there was a shouting and killing sound in the city in his ears, and the roaring fire in the city was reflected in his eyes. Zang Ba sighed, he wanted to stay for a few more days and buy more time for Yanzhou, but it was a pity.

After taking one last look at Snake Hill City, Zang Ba no longer had nostalgia, and led the army away, not to Gang County, which was close at hand, but to Zhang County.

Halfway through, suddenly the golden drum was loud, and the torches around were raised, and then countless arrows were shot from the darkness, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, Wei Yan led the army out, stopped in the middle of the road, and said with a smile: "Where is Xuangao going?" ”

Yin Li and Sun Guan glanced at each other, roared in unison, raised their swords and guns to fight Wei Yan, and said to Zang Ba: "Xuan is leaving, don't delay here, lest the Han army come to chase." ”

Zang Ba also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, if he was dragged by this Han general, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici would come behind him, and everyone would have to die. So he took a deep look at Yin Li and Sun Guan, and then led his troops to fight a bloody path and disappeared into the dark night.
