Chapter 8 The fifth section of the arrow is ready to be messed up, Hanoi cannot be lost, and the Central Plains cannot be ignored. Yuan Shao had a splitting headache for a while, and he was at a loss.

The three localities are all important, and the development of the situation in the three localities has a direct bearing on the success or failure of their hegemony.

It is now imperative to come up with a response as soon as possible in order to extricate ourselves from the current dire situation.

"Driving the Northern Army out of Hanoi is a top priority." He said, pointing to the map on the desk. After the end of the Jizhou War, Hebei accurately judged the situation in the Central Plains.

They gave up attacking Qingzhou, which had almost no defensive strength, and instead attacked Hanoi, where heavy troops were stationed, obviously in order to contain us and prevent us from entering the Central Plains at a time when the strength of all forces in the Central Plains was greatly damaged, and to delay the development of our strength, so as to give time for the forces of all sides in the Central Plains to recover, continue to maintain the situation of melee in the Central Plains, and prepare for their future southward attack on the Central Plains.

If the Northern Xinjiang Army is allowed to capture Hanoi and Chen Bing threatens Luoyang on the north bank of the Yellow River, our development will be dealt a serious blow, the process of hegemony will be stagnant, and the day of pacifying the world will be even more distant.

Therefore, we must increase our troops in Hanoi as soon as possible and drive the Northern Xinjiang Army out of Hanoi. At present, Cao Cao's Jedi counterattacked, and Gangzhou killed Ma Teng.

In the case of the anti-plot in Northern Xinjiang in the past, and the annihilation of the entire China Railway Cavalry in the future, Ma Chao's betrayal is beyond doubt.

Fortunately, the news has not yet reached Guanzhong, and we still have time to kill Ma Chao and quickly solve the crisis in Guanzhong that will break out at any time.

As for the situation in the Central Plains, we are still in control of the initiative. In order to achieve the goal of weakening the forces of all parties in the Central Plains and taking the opportunity to enter the Central Plains, we must help Yuan Shu stabilize the front line at Dingtao and Changyi as soon as possible.

As much as possible, help him occupy the two counties of Xiapi and Pengcheng, so that Yuan Shu can form a confrontation situation with Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

As long as we successfully resolve the crisis in Hanoi and Guanzhong before winter comes, we will be able to free up our hands and throw our main forces into the Central Plains.

"Solving the crisis in Guanzhong can allow Yuan Tan to design and kill Ma Chao. But solving the crisis in the Central Plains is not as simple as you think. Yuan Shao groaned a little and said to Frustration,

"We helped Yuan Shu form a confrontation situation on the battlefield of the Central Plains in order to gain time to solve the Central Plains problem, but Cao Cao didn't know the importance of time to him? If Yanzhou and Xuzhou cannot be recaptured before winter arrives, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will have a hard time next year. ”

"Cao Cao and Liu Bei also had a Qingzhou dispute in the near future. In order to ensure the interests of each other, the two sides will have to negotiate for a period of time. Tian Feng said,

"In addition, what allows us to directly achieve the goal is Ziyuan (Xu Yu)'s idea, let Yuan Shu prepare to establish the imperial system." This time, Yuan Shu attacked the Central Plains, resulting in the defeat of the attack on Hebei, and he had become a rebel of the Han Dynasty, but it was precisely because he was a rebel that he was able to rebuild the imperial system like Li Hong of Hebei and set up a new emperor.

What does it mean for Yuan Shu to rebuild the imperial system? It means that there were three emperors in the Han Dynasty. As long as Yuan Shu made the grandfather or father of today's son the emperor, then the ancestor-grandson relationship or father-son relationship between the two sons of heaven would make the position of the son of heaven in Cao Cao's hands very embarrassing.

The Son of Heaven in his hands has become insignificant to him and to us. Since Cao Cao didn't give us the Son of Heaven, then we just had to abolish the Son of Heaven.

In any case, we cannot give up the initiative to Cao Cao, and we cannot continue to be restrained by him. A third emperor appeared in the Han Dynasty, and the division of various forces intensified.

After Hebei's victory in Jizhou, it has an absolute advantage in strength, and when they recover their vitality, they will surely go south to the Central Plains.

Our strength has also been damaged, but the forces of all sides are fighting in the Central Plains for their own interests, and this will inevitably delay the time for the forces of all sides to regain their strength.

Time is invaluable to all forces. Yuan Shu suddenly re-established the imperial system. Not only will the forces of all sides be more divided, but the war in the Central Plains will also become more and more intense, so that the time for the forces of all parties to recover their vitality and develop their strength will pass quietly.

Two or three years later, Hebei will raise troops to the south, and the scattered Central Plains will collapse in an instant, and other forces will be swallowed up by Hebei one after another because of their lack of strength.

Therefore, Cao Cao absolutely did not want to see this scene appear, and Liu Biao and Liu Bei were even more unwilling to see Li Hong exterminate Han Zuo.

At this time, the attitude of the adults determined the development of the situation in the Central Plains. If the adults connived at and acquiesced in Yuan Shu's rebuilding of the imperial system, then, after Yuan Shu rebuilt the imperial system, he could openly support Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's strength increased greatly because of the support of the adults, and he got rid of his rebellious identity because of the rebuilding of the imperial line.

The Lord and Yuan Shu said that Cao Cao was a rebel, who else in the world dared to say that Cao Cao was not a rebel? Liu Biao and Liu Bei faced the two emperors, faced with the strong strength of Yuan Valve, faced with the precarious situation in the Central Plains, and faced with the strong pressure of Hebei, where should they go?

For the stability of the Central Plains, in order to fight against Hebei, and in order to keep Hanzuo, they could only choose the powerful Yuan Valve.

But this kind of result is not what we want to see, because Yuan Shu will inevitably take the opportunity to occupy the Central Plains and form a new confrontation with adults.

If the lord opposes Yuan Shu to rebuild the imperial system, even if Yuan Shu forcibly establishes a new emperor despite the dissuasion, he will do nothing, and he will soon be defeated by the encirclement and interception of various forces.

How do adults choose? connived and acquiesced in Yuan Shu's preparation for the establishment of the imperial system, and sent the news out. Liu Biao and Liu Bei must come forward to mediate for the sake of the Han Society.

In this way, we can achieve the goal of stabilizing the front on the line of Dingtao and Changyi before winter.

When Liu Biao and Liu Bei came forward to mediate, the adults were silent and took their own side, forcing Cao Cao to give up the Son of Heaven and send the Son of Heaven to Luoyang.

By this time, Cao Cao was at the end of his rope. If he doesn't give up the Son of Heaven, he will be defeated in the blink of an eye.

If he gives up the Son of Heaven, we can let him attack Yuan Shu on the premise of respecting a Son of Heaven.

Yuan Shu was defeated, Cao Cao was exhausted, and then we could send troops to the Central Plains. The key to this matter is to firmly control Yuan Shu.

We instigated Yuan Shu to prepare for the establishment of the imperial system, but we could not let him really establish a new emperor. If the imperial system is rebuilt, the situation in the Central Plains is bound to get out of control.

From Yuan Shu's point of view, he wanted to get out of the current predicament. Of course, he is willing to set up a new emperor and drag us all into the abyss of chaos.

In order to prevent Yuan Shu from dying and backlashing, we must control the time for Yuan Shu to establish a new emperor again. As long as Cao Cao sends the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, Yuan Shu will not be able to change the fact that we have controlled the situation in the Central Plains even if he establishes a new emperor.

"Through the struggle for imperial dominance between the various forces in the Central Plains, the Lord not only bought enough time to resolve the crisis in Hanoi and Guanzhong, but also paved the way for the rapid capture of the Central Plains." Tian Feng arched his hand and said,

"If you agree, you can start arranging this immediately." Yuan Shao thought about it for a long time, and carefully agreed on the details with Fu Zhi and others.

Immediately, he wrote to Xu You, who was staying in Chen, to meet Cao Cao and send Yuan Tu (Feng Ji) to meet Yuan Shu.

"Will the army in the direction of Chenliu immediately cross the river into Hanoi to block the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army?" Yuan Shao's eyes were fixed on Guanzhong and Guanxi on the map,

"The Northern Xinjiang Army's attack on Hanoi was blocked, and Li Hong most likely ordered the Northern Xinjiang Army in the east of the river to begin feints to attack Central China and Guanxi to contain our troops, so the troops in Guanxi and Luoyang cannot be requisitioned."

"Once the army in the direction of Chen Liu left Yanzhou, Yuan Shu would have less strong support. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei take the opportunity to conquer Dingtao and Changyi, the situation in the Central Plains will be very unfavorable to us. Guo Tu dissuaded,

"I don't think it's better not to recruit this army."

"Although the Northern Xinjiang Army won the Battle of Jizhou. However, Hebei's financial resources are limited, and the army of more than 100,000 has been fighting for four or five months in a row, and its consumption is unimaginable, and it is impossible for it to launch another large-scale attack in the short term. Tian Feng said,

"Now there is a Hu rebellion in the direction of Liaodong, and the Yan Liang Department of the Northern Xinjiang Army is attacking Hanoi again, and Li Hong may send troops to attack Qingzhou before the end of the year, so even if the Northern Xinjiang Army in the direction of Hedong wants to feint, the scale is very limited. In my opinion, it is better to send Luoyang's army north to support Hanoi. Tian Feng and Guo Tu's suggestions were opposed by Fu Zhu, Feng Ji, Xin Ping and others.

The crisis in Guanzhong is on the verge of breaking out. Once there is a problem in Guanzhong, the Northern Frontier Army in the east of the river will immediately enter Guanzhong.

The armies of Kansai and Luoyang must not move. The army in the Central Plains couldn't move, and the army in Luoyang couldn't move either, so Yuan Shao was a little in a dilemma.

"Hanoi has Han Hao's 10,000 Hanoi troops, Han Qiong, Zhu Ling, and Tao Sheng's 15,000 Henan troops, and 25,000 men and horses can completely hold Hanoi." Frustrated, he bowed his hand and asked for his life,

"Xia Guan is willing to personally go to Hanoi to take command." Yuan Shao frowned and thought about it, shook his hand and said, "Don't you go, let Gongze (Guo Tu) go." "In September, Danyang County, Yangzhou, Moling City.

Zhou Yu led 3,000 men and horses to Moling City. Sun Ce went out of the city thirty miles to greet him. Zhou Yu is in his twenties, tall and handsome, with an elegant temperament.

After seeing Sun Ce, he hurriedly dismounted,

"There is Brother Lao Bofu to welcome ......" Sun Ce smiled reluctantly, and said excitedly: "Gongjin can come at this time, I am grateful......" After the defeat of Guangling, Sun Ce was very depressed for a while, but due to the situation, he had to find a way to get through the difficulties.

At this time, he thought of Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was born in a high-ranking family, and his family is famous in Yangzhou.

Tang curse father Zhou Jing and cousin Zhou Zhong both served as captains in this dynasty. When his grandfather Zhou Jing was the assassin of Yuzhou, Chen Fan, the former Taishen, was his other driver.

Yingchuan Li Ying, Xun Qi, Du Mi, Pei Guo Quanyu and other party members and celebrities are engaged in it, which shows the prestige of the Zhou family at that time.

His cousin Zhou Zhong fled to northern Xinjiang with Emperor Xiaoxian, and now works in the Jinyang court. Zhou Yu's own father, Zhou Yi, once served as the Luoyang Commander, but he returned home in his early years.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are close friends. At the invitation of Yuan Shu, Sun Jian led his troops from Changsha to the north to attack Dong Zhuo, and before leaving Changsha, he moved his family to Shu County.

Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Yi, was impressed by Sun Jian's loyalty, and once let the mansion in Lunan be used by the Sun family to live, and the two families had nothing in common.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are the same age, and the two have a close relationship, like brothers. Three years ago, when Sun Ce was ordered to cross the Yangtze River south to attack Liu Xuan, his troops were insufficient and he asked Zhou Yu for help.

Zhou Yu rushed to Liyang (northwest of present-day Hexian County, Anhui) with 300 private soldiers to join him. The two brothers fought together, first conquering Hengjiang and Dangli, and then crossing the river with their divisions, attacking Moling, defeating Zhenrong and Xue Li, and then capturing Huyi (now Hushu Town, Jiangning, Jiangsu), Jiangcheng, entering Qu'a (now Danyang, Jiangsu), and forcing Liu Miao away.

At this time, Sun Ce's army had expanded to more than 30,000 people, so Sun Ce's troops were divided into two routes, one led by Zhu Zhi and Zhou Yu, to attack the southwest of Danyang and Yuzhang County, and Liu Xuan, Hua Xin, Tai Shici and others fought fiercely, and one route was led by himself, and continued to attack Wu County and Huiji County.

At the beginning of this year. Yuan Shu wanted to go north to join the coalition army to attack Hebei. In order to control Jiangdong, he sent his cousin Yuan Yin to replace Zhou Shang as the Taishou of Danyang.

Zhou Shang was Zhou Yu's uncle and was not in good health, so Zhou Yu accompanied his uncle back to Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui).

Yuan Shu heard that Zhou Yu had fought in Jiangdong with Sun Ce at a young age, and he admired him very much and wanted to keep him by his side.

But Zhou Yu politely refused on the grounds that his father and uncle were not in good health. Yuan Shu was moved by his filial piety, and deliberately asked him to serve as the magistrate of Juchao (now Chaohu, Anhui), which was very close to his hometown, so that he not only retained Zhou Yu, but also took care of Zhou Yu's filial piety.

Zhou Yu had not been in Juchao for a few months before he received a letter from Sun Ce. I was defeated in Guangling, unable to complete the important task assigned by Yuan Shu, the situation is critical, please come to help quickly.

Zhou Yu didn't say a word, immediately said goodbye to his parents, and crossed the river with his people. After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu exchanged two words, they were about to talk about the matter in front of them, but they were interrupted by Zhou Yu shaking his hand.

"Brother Bo Fu, I'll introduce you to someone......" Zhou Yu turned around and beckoned. A burly man in his twenties, with a long face and thick eyebrows, strode over.

"This is Lu Su Lu Zijing, my brother." Lu Su bowed respectfully. Sun Ce returned the salute and smiled politely: "Thank you, Brother Zijing, for coming to help." ”

"Brother Bo Fu should have heard of Brother Zijing." Zhou Yu said with a smile,

"Do you still remember the philanthropic Mr. Lu in Linhuai Dongcheng (now southeast of Dingyuan, Anhui)?" Sun Ce looked at Lu Su in surprise,

"I've heard of it, I've heard of it, but I didn't expect to see Brother Zijing here." Lu Su is a native of Dongcheng, Xiapi Kingdom, Xuzhou, who lost his father in infancy and was raised by his grandmother.

Because of his solid family, he often recruited young people to talk about military practice together. After the chaos in the world, Lu Su did not manage family affairs, sold land, scattered property, helped the poor, and at the same time made a wide range of people, and won the support of the people in the local area.

When Zhou Yu was studying in Jianghuai, he heard that Lu Su was willing to give alms, so he paid a special visit. The two hit it off at first sight, hated each other late, drank and talked by the well, and were very speculative.

A few years ago, a major flood broke out in Xu and Yangzhou, and thousands of people were hungry. Zhou Yu had rushed to Linhuai to ask Lu Su for help.

Lu Su immediately agreed. Lu Su's family had two hoards of grain at that time, each hoarding was 3,000 hu, and Lu Su did not hesitate to give Zhou Yu a hoard of grain, and the two became friends since then.

"Wasn't Brother Zijing worshiped by Lord Yuan as the mayor of Dongcheng? How did you get here? Sun Ce suddenly thought of something and asked in great surprise.

Although Dongcheng belongs to the Xiapi State of Xuzhou, because Dongcheng is on the border of Jiujiang County, only sixty miles away from the Yin Tomb of Jiujiang County, it has been controlled by Yuan Shu.

Lu Su was more famous in the Linhuai area, and Yuan Shu worshiped Lu Su as the magistrate of Dongcheng County. Lu Su shook his hand,

"Don't mention it. Yuan Shu, a rebellious and madman, perverse, dared to conspire and rebel, and harmed my big man. I'm quitting. ”

"Quit?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously,

"You're quitting?" Zhou Yu smiled and nodded,

"When Brother Zijing left Dongcheng with his family, the county lieutenant of Dongcheng led the army to chase after him, but he was so frightened that Brother Zijing ran away from the desert because of his arrows and arrows."

"I went to Juchao to find Brother Gongjin and asked him if he would continue to exterminate Han Zuo for the tiger, or kill the rebels and revive the Han Dynasty?" Lu Su pointed at Zhou Yu and said,

"Brother Gongjin took the case and shouted loudly, my life will be sold to the big man." Sun Ce thought of what he had done, his face turned red, and he immediately hung his head in shame.

"We came today just to ask Brother Bo Fu, what are your plans?" Zhou Yu stared at Sun Ce with a solemn expression, and asked word by word,

"If you want to continue to help Yuan Shu and help Yuan Shu to abuse, I won't enter Moling City. If you are willing to join us in killing the rebels and reviving the Han Dynasty, our brothers will conquer the world together. Sun Ce didn't have any preparation, he didn't expect that when he saw Zhou Yu again, he would face such a difficult choice.

Guangling was defeated, Sun Ce suffered a heavy blow, and the ensuing problems were very serious. If Yuan Shu fled back to Yangzhou, he would definitely punish Sun Ce severely, even if Yuan Shu was willing to leave Sun Ce alive for emotional reasons, but Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others could not escape death.

Even if Yuan Shu is kind and forgives the capital crimes of Cheng Pu and others, Sun Ce, Sun Jing, Sun Ben and other clan disciples and a group of life-and-death brothers left by his father Sun Jian will be ruined from now on, and they will never think of stepping into the official career again.

What is especially serious is that if Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others hit Yangzhou, they will cross the Yangtze River. Whether it is Yuan Shu or Yuan Shu's subordinates, he will die without a place to be buried.

Sun Ce was unwilling to tarnish his father's prestige because of this battle, and he was unwilling to let the ambition in his heart disappear because of this battle.

At the beginning, he led thousands of people to cross the river to the south and fought bloodily in Jiangdong for several years. Today, all of this was cut by him with blood and sweat.

He was unwilling to give up all this he had worked so hard to win to Yuan Shu. He was unwilling, he had been struggling, he had thought about betraying Yuan Shu, and he had thought about sticking to Jiangdong and confronting Yuan Shu.

But he couldn't predict the situation in the Central Plains, and he couldn't know whether the future situation in the world would bury him, his clan family, and tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers together.

He looked up at the blue sky and gasped violently. Father, can you tell me, what should I do now?

If I betray Yuan Shu, will you forgive me? Yuan Shu is no longer the Yuan Shu of the past. He betrayed the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and betrayed the Han Dynasty.

He is like Dong Zhuo in the past and Li Hong today, who is bringing disaster to the country and the people, and destroying the lives of the people. In the battle of Guangling, I was defeated, just like my father was defeated and died in Xiangyang, our father and son did their best for Yuan Shu, we don't owe him anything, and the grievances between us and him have ended with the raging fire on the river.

"Bo Fu. Why is Uncle Sun famous all over the world? Zhou Yujian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly shouted loudly,

"Uncle Sun fought for the Han Dynasty and died for loyalty, what about you? How can you tarnish the prestige of Uncle Sun? Sun Ce looked up to the sky and sighed.

Suddenly, he roared, drew his knife in his hand, and chopped it in the air,

In the study room of "Killing ...... for the Great Han", Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Sun Ben, Zhu Zhi, and Cheng Pu sat together to discuss the current situation and discuss countermeasures.

"So far, we have not received the latest news from the Jizhou war site." Zhang Zhao sighed and flipped out a roll of bamboo slips,

"This is the news we got from Shouchun, it was at the end of last month, saying that the Northern Expedition army had been killed under the city of Xindu, and the Northern Xinjiang Army had retreated more than 600 miles in more than three months. However, since Yuan Shu has been attacking Xuzhou and Yanzhou for more than a month, if nothing else, the armies of the Northern Expedition should be retreating one after another, and it is estimated that soon the Central Plains will be in flames. "Zhang Zhao is in his forties, thin and weak, with high cheekbones, bright eyes, and a solemn demeanor, which looks a little daunting.

He was a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu), and was well-known for his study of "Zuo Chuan Spring and Autumn" in Xu and Yang, and was as famous as Zhao Yu, Wang Lang, and Chen Lin, who were famous in Xuzhou.

When he was twenty years old, he was raised to filial piety, but he insisted on resigning. After Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian arrived, he promoted him as Maocai, but he still did not accept it.

Tao Qian was very angry, thinking that he despised him, locked him up, and forced him to agree. Later, after Zhao Yu and other friends interceded, he was released by Tao Qian.

Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and slaughtered the city, and the Xuzhou celebrities scattered and fled. Zhang Zhao fled to Jiujiang County, Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu had made several expeditions, and he scoffed at them and ignored them at all, but when Sun Ce was ordered to lead his army across the river to attack Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao carried a small burden and followed Sun Ce, who was only twenty years old, saying that he would give him advice.

Sun Ce was so happy that he almost fainted, if it weren't for Zhang Zhao's majestic face and unquestionable tone, Sun Ce would have thought that this master was full and had nothing to do with him.

In order to avenge his friend Zhao Yu, Zhang Zhao did not hesitate to surrender his identity and follow Sun Ce, who was not afraid of tigers, to fight Jiangdong after this newborn calf.

Jiangdong has his enemy, Zhenrong. In the second year of Xingping (195 AD), the minister of the Xiapi State could not stay in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei and a group of Xuzhou Confucian celebrities targeted Zhenrong. Zhenrong is Tao Qian's fellow villager, because of his good relationship with Cao Bao, the commander of the Danyang Army, he was appointed by Tao Qian as a grain judge, in charge of the tax and transportation of Guangling, Xiapi, and Pengcheng.

Integrate Buddhism, promote Buddhism in Pengcheng and other places, spread good deeds, and build Futu Temple (that is, Buddhist temple) in Xiapi, Guangling and other places.

The people prosper the Buddha, be kind and charitable, help to stabilize the people's hearts, Tao Qian thinks that he has merit, so he worships him as the minister of the country.

However, what Zhen Rong did next caused public outrage. From the fourth year of Chuping (193 AD) to the second year of Xingping (195 AD), Zhenrong spent a lot of money to build the Futu Temple in Xiapi, Guangling and other places.

Most of these Buddhist shrines and stupas are multi-storey wooden buildings.

"The upper gold plate, the lower is the heavy building", which is extremely luxurious. In the Buddha shrine, the Buddha statue is also made of copper, painted with gold all over the body, and draped in a brocade robe.

The Nine Mirror Pagoda, one of the eight views of Suining, is one of the Buddhist shrines built by Zhenrong. Nine bronze mirrors on the tower are the copper plates on the tower stop, in addition to the pagoda, there are the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the lakeside corridor under the mountain.

In addition to building a temple to attract surrounding Buddhist believers, Zhenrong also used the method of exemption from forced labor to lure people at home and abroad to come to the temple to listen to lectures and preach, and lured more than 5,000 families before and after.

Whenever the Buddha bathes in the meeting, a table is set up on the side of the road for dozens of miles. The cost of drinking and eating for others is hundreds of millions, and the people come to watch and eat as many as 10,000 people.

From this, we can imagine the luxury of its arrangement, the grandeur of the scene, and the majesty of the momentum. (The so-called.)

"The upper layer is tired of gold, and the lower layer is a heavy building", that is, the upper layer is braked with metal according to the miniature of the Indian wave blocking style, and the lower layer is used as the original so-called in China

"Wangxian Tower" multi-storey pavilion type is the tower body, becoming the center of the temple, which is the basic tower type of the early pagoda in our country, and the form of this Buddhist temple layout basically continues to the early Tang Dynasty.

These pavilions are said to have a capacity of up to 3,000 people, and they are said to be able to read Buddhist scriptures. This is also the earliest record of class reading in history.

On the one hand, the displaced people are in disaster and cannot eat, and on the other hand, they are wasting money and promoting Buddhist affairs.

Zhao Yu, Chen Deng, Zhu Zhu, Sun Qian and other Xuzhou officials repeatedly advised Liu Bei and immediately killed Zhenrong.

Liu Bei couldn't bear it anymore, and told him to either get out of here immediately, or wait to cut off his head. Zhenrong didn't dare not go.

At this time, Xue Li, the former Pengcheng minister who was forced away by Tao Qian, happened to live in Moling in Danyang County.

Zhen Rong immediately decided to defect to Xue Li. As a result, Zhenrong took tens of thousands of male and female believers and 3,000 horses from the direction of Linhuai into Guangling County.

Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guanglu County, hated Zhenrong very much, but at this moment, Zhenrong was leaving, and he also pretended to be polite.

Guangling County has been peaceful for a long time, the money is abundant and the grain is sufficient, and the thief's heart is uplifted, killing Zhao Yu and his whole family, conniving at the looting of his subordinates, and then crossing the river to take refuge in Xue Li.

Zhao Yu is Zhang Zhao's mentor and friend, how can this revenge not be avenged. Zhang Zhao helped Sun Ce to conquer the east and west in the past three years, did his best, and also helped Sun Ce recruit a large number of famous scholars and Confucians to govern Jiangdong County.

This summer, Wang Lang, the Taishou of Huiji County, was willing to surrender, largely thanks to Zhang Zhao's persuasion.

"Gongjin and Zijing's suggestion, I think it's very good." Zhang Zhao said to Sun Ce,

"A few days ago, I also told you that now is the best opportunity to occupy Yangzhou and try to dominate the industry."

"How can I kill Yuan Shu and capture Yangzhou?" Sun Ce asked,

"If there is no perfect strategy, we had better not be in a hurry, so as not to be counterattacked by Yuan Shu."

"First unite Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and be loyal to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court." Zhou Yu said with a smile,

"At the same time, we attacked Lujiang County with surprise troops, captured Lujiang County, and then attacked Jiujiang County from both directions of Lujiang and Liyang. At present, there are only a few thousand defenders in Jiujiang County, and they can be taken down at any time. "After the Northern Expeditionary Army withdrew to the Central Plains, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will fight with Yuan Shu repeatedly.

Maybe Yuan Shu can escape back to Yangzhou with the help of Yuan Shao, but we have formed an alliance with Cao Cao and Liu Bei at this time, and we can completely retreat to Jiangdong, and we don't have to worry about Yuan Shu coming over at all.

When Yuan Shu attacked Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Liu Bei would attack him from behind; When Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu fought fiercely in the vicinity of Xu and Yang, we could attack Yuan Shu's rear again.

Sooner or later, Yuan Shu will be eaten by the three of us. The two counties of Jiangbei were fought just to kill Yuan Shu, in order to develop their strength as soon as possible, and in order to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong.

The killing of Yuan Shu was to weaken Yuan Shao's power and prepare for an attack on Jingzhou in the future. If Yuan Shu is defeated and Yuan Shao's strength is weakened, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's strength will increase, they can control the Central Plains, they can block Li Hong in Hebei, and buy more time for our development in Jiangdong.

In time, all forces will compete in the Central Plains. When Li Hong, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were scarred and exhausted, we would go north from Jingzhou with a force and kill Luoyang, and go north to Xuzhou with a force and kill the Central Plains, so that we could sweep the world.

Zhou Yu waved his arm vigorously, full of spirit,

"As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to calm the world and revive the Han." Jump to
