Chapter 8 Arrow on the String Section 21 on the Seventh Month, Yangzhou, Danyang County. When Zhang Zhao returned to Danyang, he gave a detailed explanation of Zhou Yu's suggestion.

Sun Ce smiled bitterly and was speechless, but he was extremely angry in his heart. Attacking Jingzhou to avenge his father was his greatest wish, but today he could not realize it because of Zhou Yu's elbow.

Thinking of the scenes of his relationship with Zhou Yu, Sun Ce was quite emotional. When his father set off from Changsha to the north to seek Dong, considering that the journey was difficult and dangerous, he might never return, so he deliberately sent his family to Lujiang County, where his uncle Wu Jing was at that time.

My father and uncle followed Zhu Jun to conquer the Yellow Turban Army together, and my uncle was worshiped as the captain of Lujiang for his merits, and was later promoted to the captain of Yangzhou Cavalry.

I met Zhou Yu at that time, and it has been eight years now. Zhou Yu was a month younger than him, Wen Taowu was slightly omniscient, talented, and he admired and befriended him at the time.

Like his father, he has a strong temperament and a more tyrannical approach. At that time, my mother's elders were reluctant to marry my mother to my father, because they thought my father was cunning.

Zhou Yu also disliked himself, and he kept his distance from him during the years when he had been most closely intertwined.

After Yuan Shu arrived in Yangzhou, he asked his uncle Wu Jing to serve as the Taishou of Danyang. The uncle then led the army to attack Jiangdong, drove away the former Taishou Zhou Xin, and occupied Danyang County.

In the autumn of that year, my uncle sent someone to take his whole family to live in Danyang. After four years of close relationship, he and Zhou Yu parted ways.

The good times did not last long, and Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou appointed by the Chang'an court, arrived in Jiangdong, and he defeated his uncle with Di Rong, Xue Li, Xu Gong and others.

The uncle had no choice but to return to Jiangbei with his family and army to join Yuan Shu. Soon, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Lujiang County's Taishou Lu Kang, and he went to battle with him.

This time, although he didn't see Zhou Yu, he snatched Zhou Yu's wife from him by mistake.

Yuan Shu took Lujiang County, and then let himself and his uncle Wu Jing, uncle Sun Jing, cousin Sun Ben and others lead an army to attack Jiangdong.

He lost the first battle, and his father's old subordinate Gongsun Cheng also died. He knew that Zhou Yu was good at military strategy, so he wrote to him.

Zhou Yu came without hesitation, and under his planning, the army entered Jiangdong unimpeded.

Zhou Yu's amazing talent couldn't help but amaze him, and even made his uncle, uncle, and father's old subordinates feel threatened.

If this continues, his prestige and position in the military will be seriously challenged. So, after occupying Wu County, the army made a decision to let Zhou Yu leave and let him assist Zhu Zhi to sit in Danyang.

This decision hurt Zhou Yu's self-esteem, and in a fit of rage, he was about to return to Jiangbei with his troops.

Zhou Yu's fierce reaction was completely unexpected. Just when things were difficult to save, Liu Yao launched a counterattack towards Danyang from the direction of Yuzhang, which gave him an excellent excuse to keep Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu would be out of measure if he left at this time. He took his troops to Danyang, and there was a big rift in the friendship between the two.

During a period of time in Danyang, Zhou Yu couldn't figure it out, causing Zhu Zhi to be in trouble many times. He wrote to Zhou Yu and asked him to help Zhu Zhi destroy the enemy, but Zhou Yu refused to follow his order to take the initiative to attack on the grounds that it was not suitable for two-front combat.

At this time, Danyang Taishou was Zhou Shang, and the grain and grass were controlled by Zhou Shang, even if Zhu Zhi wanted to attack, he was suffering from the lack of food and grass, and he was helpless.

He thought that the unfavorable situation on the Danyang battlefield was completely caused by Zhou Yu's selfishness, and he wanted to declare his personal vendetta.

Because of this, he was quite resentful of Zhou Yu, and the feud between the two deepened. Soon Zhou Shang fell ill, and he used this as an excuse to inform Yuan Shu, asking Yuan Shu to transfer Zhou Shang out of Danyang, and Yuan Shu sent Yuan Yin instead.

Zhou Yu was very knowledgeable, escorted his uncle home, and left. This time, when he was faced with a life-and-death decision, he thought of Zhou Yu again.

Regardless of his previous suspicions, Zhou Yu once again led the army to help him capture the two counties of Jiangbei. However, when he led the army to evacuate Jiangbei, he once again left Zhou Yu aside.

He didn't want to do this, but during this time, Zhou Yu was extremely disgusted with his appointment of the Sun clan as the chief official of various counties and counties in Yangzhou, and repeatedly admonished him.

Zhou Yu not only offended himself, but also offended many people in Jiangdong. Jiangdong is mine now, and of course I will use my family to guard Jiangdong County.

Yuan Shu's betrayal led to the defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and my betrayal of Yuan Shu led to Yuan Shu's defeat. In such a situation, can I still trust others, surrender my life to others, and put myself in danger of dying at any moment?

As for saying that I have broken the law, it is even more absurd. What time is it? Who else takes the Son of Heaven seriously?

Who else knows the Great Han Law? Li Hong killed the king, Yuan Shao conspired to usurp the throne, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu established their own imperial system, and the Son of Heaven and the Great Han Law were like dung in their eyes.

Compared to their shameless behavior, I also call it a transgression? Now whoever has a hard fist is the law, and it is ill-intentioned to say that I am breaking the law at all.

Zhou Yu really had bad intentions. He took advantage of his attack on Tai Shi Ci to seize Yuzhang County with lightning speed, and his strength increased instantly.

What do I do now? Zhou Yu is super intelligent, and in the blink of an eye, he subverted the situation in Jiangdong. I want to beat him to dominate Koto, it's too difficult.

Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao, Lu Fan and others discussed for a long time, but they were helpless. At this time, Zhang Hong returned from Wu County to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, and after hearing this, he hurriedly congratulated Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was puzzled. Zhou Yu is now standing with himself in Jiangdong, how can he be happy?

"Congratulations to your Excellency for getting Yuzhang County without a single soldier, and for adding 30,000 land and water troops to Jiangdong, and your Excellency will dominate Jiangdong from now on." Sun Ce couldn't cry or laugh,

"Sir, Gongjin is no longer my sibling."

"It's a big deal." Zhang Hongxi said with a smile,

"Zhou Langke has always regarded you as a brother in life and death. The adults fought Jiangdong, a letter, and Xiao Zhoulang led the army to come and fight bloody battles with you. Last year, when adults were facing a life-and-death crisis, it was another letter, and Xiao Zhoulang waved his army across the river without hesitation to help. Such a person is not a brother of an adult, so what kind of person can be considered a brother of an adult? Sun Ce was speechless for a while.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Yu's strong soldiers and horses, and seeing Zhou Yu suddenly occupy half of Jiangdong, he really regretted it.

Zhou Yu never owed himself anything, but he owed Zhou Yu too much. Zhang Hong: This is scolding me for being unkind.

"What do you mean by a brother? Those who are willing to give their lives to each other are called brothers. Zhou Lang twice stepped forward to help adults when they were in danger, completely disregarding his own safety. Especially when the adults attacked Yuan Shu last year, Zhou Lang risked the death of the nine clans to help the adults. In this world, where can adults find a brother like Xiao Zhoulang, who is righteous and brave-hearted? Zhang Hong's words were earnest,

"My lord, Xiao Zhoulang is your real brother." Zhang Zhao also understood at this time. Sun Ce is a wild and uninhibited martial artist, while Zhou Yu is a majestic and heroic scholar, and it is impossible for the two to become brothers, let alone come together.

But both of them are in Jiangdong, and they both have the same ambitions, and if they are together, they will benefit each other, and if they are divided, they will lose both, so as long as one of them gives in a little and lowers his noble head, Jiangdong's affairs will be easy to do.

"At Peng Ze's time, Xiao Zhoulang called the adult brother from beginning to end, and there was no disrespect." Zhang Zhao spoke out at the right time to persuade,

"At this time, if your brothers are harmonious, Jiangdong will prosper, and if your brothers are on the wall, Jiangdong will die. Adults should think twice, don't fall for the discord of others, and give the Jiangdong foundation to others. After thinking about it, Sun Ce said categorically: "I will go to Pengze immediately." In mid-July, Sun Ce rushed to Pengze and boated with Zhou Yu on Pengli Lake.

Sun Ce opened his heart and revealed his suspicion of Zhou Yu in the past two years and his plan to use Jiangdong as the foundation to go north to the Central Plains to dominate the world.

"I've done a lot of things I've done in the past to be sorry for my brother, so please forgive me." Sun Ce said sincerely,

"Today, I swear here that if I Sun Ce does anything sorry for my brother again, I will die with an arrow piercing my heart." Zhou Yu burst into tears with excitement in his eyes, and swore on his knees that he was willing to work together with Sun Ce to protect Jiangdong, conquer the Central Plains, and revitalize Sheji.

The brothers reconciled as before, and Sun Ce mentioned the attack on Jingzhou again. Zhou Yu is still opposed. Liu Zhang of Yizhou is fighting fiercely with Liu Biao in Nanjun.

For the sake of Jingzhou's safety, Liu Biao must be stationed in Jiangxia with heavy troops, so as not to be attacked by Sun Ce in Jiangdong and suffer from the enemy on his back.

If we attack Jingzhou at this moment, it will be difficult to do anything. More importantly, instead of fighting Yuan Shu with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, we will crusade against the rebellion, but instead attack Liu Biao, who is a minister of the same palace, and ignore the general righteousness, and may lose the hearts of the people in Jiangdong.

Although we now occupy the four counties of Jiangdong, we have not yet gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong, and the remnants of Liu Xuan, Wang Lang, Xu Gong, Hua Xin, Zhenrong and others pose a great threat to our consolidation of Jiangdong.

Before we did not sit firmly in Jiangdong, we still had the best policy to hold Jiangdong and move less troops. Sun Ce thought about it for a long time and gave way.

Fight Yuan Shu first, help Cao Cao and Liu Bei stabilize the Central Plains, in order to contain and weaken Yuan Shao, and then gather forces to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to agree. In late July, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu gathered water divisions in Pengze and Chaisang, and each led a large army to attack Jiujiang County from Liyang and Shucheng.

At the beginning of August, Yuan Shu couldn't take care of everything, so he had to give up Xiapicheng. Cao Cao then occupied most of Peiguo, and Liu Bei recovered most of Xiapi County.

In mid-August, Cao's army continued southward and held Yuan Shu's army at Peiguo's Qicheng (south of present-day Suzhou, Anhui).

Liu Bei's army was stationed in Xiaqiu, Xiapi County, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei temporarily stopped attacking. The grain and grass in Xuzhou were mainly transported to the battlefield of Langya County, and Guan Yu and Guan Cheng were fighting fiercely in Jucheng in Langya County at this time.

In late August, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu secretly returned, commanded the army to go upstream, and attacked Huang Zu in Jiangxia in the name of revenge.

After Yuan Shu's defeat on the battlefield of Xiapi, Yuan Shao immediately postponed his plan to attack Hanoi and instead concentrated on helping Yuan Shu hold on to the Jianghuai line in order to deplete the strength of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao and Liu Bei were at loggerheads. In September, Liu Biao in Jingzhou was attacked on both sides and had to ask Yuan Shao for help.

Just when Yuan Shao was hesitating about whether to send troops to help Liu Biao, an exciting news came from Hebei that the Liaodong rebellion was becoming more and more serious, and Xian Yufu's army was trapped on the battlefield of Liaodong, while the general Li Hong fought with the Xianbei king Kirby Xiong.

It is said that the scale of the battle was very large, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen were used on both sides. Northern Xinjiang is in turmoil. The pace of the northern Xinjiang army moving south to the Central Plains will be greatly delayed, and this news will greatly stimulate all parties in the Central Plains, and the beacon smoke on the battlefield in the Central Plains will become more and more vigorous.

Then, news came from Guanzhong that Ma Chao went deep into the Qiang land, borrowed iron horses from the Qiang people, and killed in Longxi, occupying Longxi County.

Han Sui let Yan Xing sit in Fufeng County, and he led the main iron cavalry to Longxi. The Western Xinjiang was in turmoil. The threat to Guan and Luo in northern and western Xinjiang has been temporarily lifted.

Yuan Shao's spirits were greatly boosted, and he made a quick decision to give up attacking Hanoi and instead concentrate on plotting against the Central Plains. While he sent Yuan Xi to lead his army into Jingzhou to help, he wrote to Cao Cao and asked him to withdraw from the Central Plains.

Yuan Shu's affairs are handled by him. Cao Cao finally hit the gate of Yangzhou, and he was willing to give up.

At this time, good news came from Qingzhou, Guan Yu successfully ambushed in Zhengrong Valley, annihilated 10,000 Yellow Turban Army, killed Wu Ba, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, attacked the Yellow Turban Army camp at night, and killed Guan Cheng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army.

After the two wars, Guan Yu captured about 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers and reorganized all of them, and the strength of the Xuzhou army suddenly skyrocketed.

The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of Guan Hai, fled back to Qingzhou in embarrassment. All the lost counties of Langya County were recovered.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei's waists suddenly hardened. The two completely ignored Yuan Shao's interference, and the overseers attacked again. The two sides continued to fight in the city of Qi.

In early September, the great general Li Hong arrived at Goguryiseong in Xuansu County. Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Li Su, Yu Peng and others went out of the city to greet them.

Li Hong briefly talked about the things on the desert. In the end, Kirby Xiong was forced by the situation and had to allocate 3,000 households from the two Xianbei tribes in the middle and east to Fu Luohan.

"Did the General last see Kirby the Bear?" Xian Yufu asked.

"Nope." Li Hong shook his head, a trace of melancholy passed between his eyebrows,

"Although I helped Luo Han up, this person is greedy and cunning, and it is difficult to become a big weapon, and he is not Kirby Xiong's opponent at all."

"Why didn't the general assign these three thousand Xianbei people to the Maiha tribe?" Li Su asked puzzled,

"King Nanxian Bei shoots ink, and his sons shoot Yingtong and shoot tigers are all desert warriors, which are enough to deal with Kirby Bear." Li Hong glanced at him and whispered: "In the past few years, the strength of the Wuye tribe has grown too fast, if you give him another population, I am afraid that it will not be Kirby Bear who will cause trouble in the desert in the future, but our good friends." A few people chatted a few words, and the topic immediately turned to Liaodong.

The iron cavalry of Buyeo Kingdom quickly withdrew before the army reached Xuansu County. Fearing that he would be attacked by the Han army, the king of Fuyu had sent people to ask for surrender several times, hoping to get the forgiveness of the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The Goguryi people, who originally lived in Xuansu County, had only a few iron horsemen, and after learning that the Xianbei people had been defeated by the Han army, they fled to the country of Buyeo.

"Brother Yu Xing, you haven't dealt with these things yet?" Li Hong asked with a smile,

"Youzhou's affairs are now up to you, you just have to make your own decisions and show the court. I went to Liaodong this time, mainly for Gongsun Du. After meeting Gongsun Du, I went to Jizhou. ”

"You're not going back to Jinyang?" Xian Yufu asked in surprise.

"Let's go to Jizhou first." Li Hong explained,

"The imperial court has spread the news of the chaos in northern Xinjiang, and the southern and northern armies will be assembled one after another, and the iron cavalry outside the wall will also go north to Yinshan. If these true and false news can make the war in the Central Plains more intense, we may launch an attack in advance. After arriving in Jizhou, I met with the commander of the seven battalions to make specific arrangements for the preparation of attacking the Central Plains, and then I planned to have a good talk with Zang Ba. ”

"Hit the Central Plains so soon?" Li Su exclaimed excitedly,

"General, when will our Youzhou Iron Cavalry go south?"

"What are you anxious about?" Li Hong said with a smile,

"After the incident in Liaodong is over, you will take the army of Youzhou infantry soldiers and dig two canals in Zhuojun and Guangyang first."

"Digging a ditch?" Li Su asked incredulously,

"General, you asked me to take the soldiers to dig a ditch?"

"yes." Li Hong pointed to Dong Zhao beside him and said,

"When Lord Dong was in the desert, he discussed with me about quelling the rebellion in Liaodong. The most difficult thing to quell the rebellion in Liaodong was the transportation of grain, grass and baggage. There are more than 1,500 miles from Zhuojun to Liaodong, and the road is difficult and difficult, and it is very inconvenient. For this reason, Lord Dong suggested that grain should be transported by sea. ”

In order to save manpower and material resources, Lord Dong suggested digging two channels to connect Zhuojun with the Juma River and the Gushui River, and use these two rivers to transport grain to the sea, and then transport the grain to Liaodong by sea boats." Li Hong looked at Li Su, who was dazed, and said with a smile: "If you want to go to the Central Plains to fight, just repair these two canals." ”

"General, the matter in Liaodong is over." Li Su smiled bitterly.

"It's not over." Li Hong waved his horsewhip and sneered,

"This time, in order to pacify the Central Plains, the Han Dynasty made a compromise, and those who should have been killed were not killed, and those who should have destroyed the country were not destroyed. These wolves, if they don't eat meat and drink blood, how can they give up? The battle in Liaodong will have to be fought sooner or later, so these two canals must be repaired as soon as possible. Xian Yufu glanced at Dong Zhao attentively, with a look of appreciation on his face,

"With these two canals, the grain of Zhuojun can be transported to Liaodong at the fastest speed and with the least loss. This is very beneficial to the stabilization of Liaodong. Master Dong's achievements are great. Dong Zhao hurriedly said a few words modestly.

"What the hell is going on with Gongsun Du?" Li Hong's gaze turned to Yu Peng,

"Does he have any explanation?" Jump to
