Cao Cao immediately wrote a letter to Zhou Yu, asking him to lead the two counties of Yuzhang and Danyang as the general of Jianwei Zhonglang, and choose the opportunity to attack Jiangbei.

I don't know what the reason is, in the matter of attacking Yuan Shu, he trusts Zhou Yu more than Sun Ce. This probably has a lot to do with Sun Ce's betrayal of Yuan Shu.

He also wanted to advise Sun Ce to cross the river to attack Yuan Shu as much as possible and contain Yuan Shu's forces, but thinking that he gave up again, he felt that Sun Ce would ignore him.

………………

Yangzhou, Yuzhang County, Pengze.

Zhang Zhao came to visit Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was very polite, congratulating Sun Ce for defeating Zhang Ying, and then he pulled Zhang Zhao to see his powerful sailor and the drill of the infantry army. As for what Zhang Zhaolai was doing, he didn't ask. There was no need for him to ask. He is a general in Jianwei, and he is not subject to Sun Ce's restraint in military affairs, and he can fight as much as he wants, without asking Sun Ce's opinion.

Although Sun Ce also wanted to conquer Yuzhang County, but now he has taken the lead, he has an army, and this place is also his own. Sun Ce wanted to come and pick up the bargain, but there was no door.

At dinner in the evening, Zhang Zhao asked tentatively: "Gongjin took Yuzhang County, is this Taishou still Huaxin?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Of course it's Hua Xin. He is appointed by the imperial court as Yuzhang Taishou, and he is a member of the imperial court with a rank of 2,000 stones, I am a small lieutenant general, how can I be qualified to remove him? Besides, if I don't let him do it, what authority do I have to appoint court officials with a rank of more than 2,000 stones? If we want to revive the Han Society, we must first obey the laws of the Han Dynasty. How can a person who does not have the law of the Han Dynasty in his eyes revive the community? Rebels like Li Yi and Yuan Shu will sooner or later be like Dong Zhuo, not only will they die without a place to be buried, but they will also be frustrated and scattered, and they will be infamous through the ages. ”

Zhang Zhao's face changed, and it was extremely ugly. Zhou Yu's words were obviously accusing Sun Ce. A small general who begged for captivity actually appointed county officials without authorization, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, this is a great crime of rebellion.

Zhang Zhao had already found out Zhou Yu's intentions, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "The young master of my family wants to join forces with you to attack Jingzhou, firstly, to take revenge, and secondly, to create a great cause of revitalization. Gong Jin and the young master have been brothers for many years, and now they are both ministers of the same palace, so they should ......"

Zhou Yu immediately interrupted Zhang Zhao's words and said, "According to Mr. Will, Liu Biao and we are not ministers of the same palace, but the Han has rebelled?" ”

Zhang Zhao opened his mouth and was speechless with shame.

"Please go back and tell Brother Bo Fu that today's Han rebellion is Li Yi of Hebei, Yuan Shu of Jiangbei, not Liu Biao of Jingzhou. If he wants to attack Yuan Shu, I am willing to go north to help. ”

………………

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.

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 Yi regarded the Son of Heaven as a puppet, Yuan Shao conspired to usurp the throne, Cao Cao and others 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 Zhang Ying to capture 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. 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 the young master for getting Yuzhang County without spending a single soldier, and adding 30,000 land and water troops to Jiangdong, and the young master will dominate Jiangdong from now on."

Sun Ce said with a smile: "Sir, Gongjin is no longer my sibling. ”

"Little master." Zhang Hongxi said with a smile, "Zhou Langke has always regarded you as a brother in life and death." Last year, when the young master was facing a life-and-death crisis, it was just a letter, and Zhou Lang waved his army to help without hesitation. Such a person is not the brother of the young master, so what kind of person can be regarded as the brother of the young master? ”

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 stepped forward to help the young master when he was in trouble, completely disregarding his own safety, especially when the young master attacked Yuan Shu last year, Zhou Lang risked the danger of the nine clans to help the young master. In this world, a brother like Zhou Lang who is righteous and careless, where can the young master find it? Zhang Hong's words were sincere, "Young master, Zhou Lang is your real brother." ”

Zhang Zhao also understood at this time. Sun Ce is a wild and uninhibited warrior, while Zhou Yu is a majestic and heroic scholar, it is impossible for the two to become brothers, let alone come together, but both of them are in Jiangdong, both have the same ambitions, and if the two of them are together, they will benefit each other, and if they are divided, they will lose both, so as long as one of them gives a step and lowers his noble head, Jiangdong's affairs will be easy to handle.

"At Peng Ze's time, Zhou Lang called the young master his brother from beginning to end, and there was nothing disrespectful." 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 against the wall, Jiangdong will die." The young master 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. ”

Subsequently, 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 intention 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, do anything sorry for my brother again, I will die with an arrow piercing my heart." ”

Zhou Yu burst into tears with excitement, knelt on the ground and swore that he was willing to work together with Sun Ce to protect Jiangdong, conquer the Central Plains, and revitalize the community.

The brothers reconciled as before, and Sun Ce mentioned the attack on Jingzhou again.

Zhou Yu is still opposed. He said: "Yizhou Liu Zhang is fighting 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 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 to help Cao Cao and Liu Bei stabilize the Central Plains in order to contain and weaken Yuan Shao. Then gather troops 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 at Pengze and Chaisang, and at the same time each led a large army to attack the two counties of Jiangbei. Yuan Shu couldn't take care of both the beginning and the end, so he had to give up Xiapicheng. Cao Cao then occupied most of Peiguo, and Liu Bei recovered most of Xiapi County. Cao's army continued southward and held Yuan Shu's army at Peiguo's Qicheng. Liu Bei's army was stationed in Xiaqiu, Xiapi County. Cao Cao and Liu Bei temporarily stopped attacking. The grain and grass in Xuzhou were mainly transported to the battlefield of Langya County, and Zhu Ling and Yin Li were fighting fiercely in Jucheng in Langya County at this time.

In early August, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu secretly returned, commanded a large army 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.

Liu Biao of 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, and the general Li Yi and Ding Ling Wang Zhai Yu fought. It is said that the scale of the battle was very large, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen were used on both sides.

The Northern Xinjiang is in turmoil, and the pace of the Northern Xinjiang army going south to the Central Plains will be greatly delayed, and this news will greatly stimulate all parties in the Central Plains, and the 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 sending Yuan Xi to lead the army into Jingzhou to help, he wrote a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to withdraw from the Central Plains, and Yuan Shu's affairs would be handled by him.

Cao Cao finally hit the gate of Yangzhou, how could he give up?

At this time, good news came from Qingzhou, Zhu Ling successfully ambushed in Zhengrong Valley, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, and attacked Yin Li and Wu Dunjun camps at night. After the two battles, Zhu Ling captured about 10,000 enemy troops and reorganized them all, and the strength of the Xuzhou army suddenly skyrocketed. Yin Li and Wu Dun led the remnants to flee back to Qingzhou in disarray, and 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 Qicheng. (To be continued.) )
