After a pause in his voice, Zhou Yu was a little worried: "Yes, whether this battle can be successful in one fell swoop depends on how he chooses." ”

Lu Su nodded thoughtfully, and said softly: "It is said that the reason why Sun Ce led the army to the alliance this time was because he was angry about Gong Jin's service to the lord, and deliberately made enemies with the lord. I wonder if this is true? ”

Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "This is just a pretext, and it is not credible at all." Others don't know Bo Fu, but I have been with him for many years, and I know a lot about his personality. He is arrogant, ambitious, upright by nature, unyielding, and has always taken the restoration of the ancestral industry as his own responsibility, and his ambition is no less than that of the lord. There is no doubt that Bo Fu attaches great importance to family affection, but he is also a decisive and resolute person, or he is a little stubborn and self-serving, few people can influence his decision, and no one can change his ambition and retribution. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused and said in a deep voice: "Zijing might as well imagine it, how could a person with a character like Bo Fu lead an army thousands of miles away to seek revenge because of me?" Therefore, it is not so much that Bo Fu led his troops to seek provocation and revenge because of me, but that he had other plans for this trip, and the plans were not small, and he even asked the lord for it. In view of this, I invited him to come to the secret discussion, because I was sure that he would not fight to the death with my Xiliang army, and joining the alliance was only an expedient measure. If my judgment is correct, then the capture of Anyi Castle is very promising. ”

Lu Su frowned slightly, and said without worry: "If Sun Ce is really ambitious, how can the lord tolerate him?" Since then, I am afraid that sooner or later we will still be enemies with him. One day, it is inevitable that the sword will fight each other, and it will be difficult to coexist in the world. ”

Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, and his face quickly darkened. He frowned, his eyes showing lingering sorrow.

After a moment of silence, he nodded lightly and said, "What Zijing said is very true. Indeed, Sun Ce has lofty ambitions, is both civil and military, and is not willing to live under others, and sooner or later he will inevitably achieve a great cause. At this point, he and the lord are the same kind of people. It's a pity that he took too many detours and missed the best opportunity to rise, and the situation today is chaotic. It may seem that there are many hidden opportunities, but they are not. Our Xiliang Army is the best in the world, with strong strength and wide territory, and has jumped to the top of all princes in the world. And the bull's ear that rules the world. It has an absolute advantage that other princes can hardly match. At present, the pattern of the world has been formed, the north is strong and the south is weak, and my Xiliang army is the only one, above all the princes. therefore

After the decisive battle of Loudiyuan, the situation in the world will become clear, and all the small princes will perish one after another. The forces of the princes who can survive will inevitably become the strongest in the world, and they will also be the great forces that dominate the party. And I have the land of four states under the rule of Xiliang. It will definitely have a place in the competition among the princes, and it is still the strongest princely overlord, and it is also the princely power that is most likely to win the world.

Therefore, even though Sun Ce had the opportunity to seize a foothold and rise rapidly, it was too late, and his achievements were limited after all. As the lord said before, even if there are achievements in the land of Jiangdong, after all, it will be in a corner, more than enough, and if it is not enterprising, it will perish sooner or later. However, Sun Ce and his people are very stubborn and don't listen to advice at all, these words are okay for the two of us, if they say it to Sun Ce, it will definitely be useless, and it will even make him mistakenly think that we look down on him.

However, some things have to be faced sooner or later, and public affairs come first, and this time we strive to solve them together, so as to save ourselves from delaying for a long time and becoming more and more chaotic. Although I really don't want to meet with the Bofu battlefield, there will be a battle between my Xiliang army and Sun Ce sooner or later, and this is inevitable. ”

Lu Su deeply agreed with Zhou Yu's words, and continued: "This time I discussed with Sun Ce, how Gong Jin plans to persuade him, if he doesn't promise him some tangible benefits, I'm afraid he won't cooperate with our army to attack the city." ”

Zhou Yu, who had adjusted his mentality, smiled indifferently: "This is very simple. Sun Ce came to join the alliance this time for no more than two purposes, one is to take the opportunity to make a name for himself in the world, and the other is to recruit troops and seek a foothold. This first purpose, he has achieved; Within a few days, he won ten cities in a row, competed with Lu Bu, and tied with General Ma Chao, which was enough to make him famous all over the world. And if we want him to cooperate in the capture of Anyi City, we must help him achieve the second purpose, help him recruit troops and horses, and give him a legitimate place to base himself. ”

"Isn't it tantamount to betraying the lord that we help him recruit troops? This move is inappropriate, it is really inappropriate, and it must not be done! Lu Su shook his head again and again.

Zhou Yu laughed dumbly when he heard this, raised his hand to signal Lu Su to be calm and not impatient, and explained: "Zijing, don't be in a hurry, and listen to me in detail." Naturally, it is impossible for us to directly help him recruit new soldiers, and there are no war horses to sell to him, what I said about recruiting troops and buying horses is just to provide him with an opportunity to expand his strength, and whether he can grasp the opportunity is his business, and it has nothing to do with you and me. As for giving him a place to base himself, it is even easier, as long as the Lord gives him an edict. And this edict was given to him by the lord last year, and it is precisely because of this that I decided to discuss with him secretly and take the city of Anyi. Otherwise, if there is no lord in front of me, the two of us dare to meet with Sun Ce without authorization? ”

"Oh, that's fine, give me a false alarm." Lu Su suddenly realized.

Immediately, as if he remembered something again, he hurriedly said: "Well, by the way, according to the detailed investigation, Sun Ce is not in the city today, but went to Loudiyuan with Zhang Yang to watch the battle." If so, can he still come tonight? ”

"Yes." Zhou Yu affirmed: "Just now the scout reported that he and Zhang Yang had already returned to the county town half an hour ago, and I had arranged for more than 200 soldiers to sneak into the city in the evening, presumably they had already handed over the secret letter to Bo Fu, and Bo Fu may be on his way to ?????? at this moment."

"Hahaha! It's not that it's still on the way, but it's already there! In the midst of laughter, but seeing a fast horse rushing directly into the gate, when Zhou Yu's voice fell, the person had already rushed to the door of the big tent.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su were shocked when they heard this, and immediately got up and walked out of the tent quickly, and saw Sun Ce turn over and dismount, standing at the bottom of the steps.

"Don't be rude, retreat quickly!"

Waving his hand and waving away the armor soldiers who were surrounding Sun Ce, Zhou Yu hurriedly greeted him, and said as he walked: "Farewell to the years, how is Brother An?" ”

"Gong Jin is unharmed. Hehehe! After more than two years of absence, Sun Ce was very happy to see Zhou Yu again, and his hearty laughter spread all over the tent.

"Thank you brother for your care, my little brother is very good. Brother has been working on a saddle horse all the way, please come into the account and rest. After a little greeting, Zhou Yu invited Sun Ce into the big tent, and waved his hand at the door to signal his soldiers to serve the wine and meat that had already been prepared.

When Zhou Yu set up a banquet to entertain Sun Ce, Lu Su quietly withdrew from the big tent, so that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce could catch up.

After a short time, after Sun Ce was full of wine and food, Lu Su appeared in the big tent again, waved off the soldiers in the tent, and personally brought a pot of hot tea that had just been brewed.

Sun Ce casually picked up the fragrant tea poured by Lu Su, and after taking a sip, he found that Lu Su was actually sitting next to Zhou Yu, and immediately said in surprise: "I don't know if this gentleman is ??????."

Without waiting for Sun Ce to ask, Lu Su smiled and said: "Lu Zijing, who is in Huai, Lu Su, is now the chief secretary of the army under Gongjin's account, and he also leads the army. It was a rude mistake before, please forgive the general. ”

"Lu Zijing?" Sun Ce groaned, stared at Lu Su, and said urgently: "Isn't it Dongcheng Ling Lu Su Lu Zijing?" ”

Lu Su bowed his head happily and said with a smile: "The general has good eyesight." Before the next year, he had indeed served as the commander of Dongcheng, but he was confused and had no achievements, not only was it useless, but he was arrested by Yuan Shu. As a last resort, I had to take my family and flee to Chang'an to make a living, fortunately my lord appreciated it, and now I follow Gongjin on the expedition. The mediocre man made General Bo Fu laugh. ”

After Sun Ce heard this, his eyes turned, and he shook his head and said, "Zijing, don't be presumptuous. As far as I know, Zijing was quite effective in governing Dongcheng and had outstanding political achievements, but he was framed by villains and was wanted and arrested by Yuan Shu. This is the fault of Yuan Shu's reward and punishment, and it is not a pity to abandon it if he does not know the talent of Mr. Now that Mr. has been appreciated by the general, it is really a blessing for Seong to lose his horse, and it is fortunate that the time comes! ”

"What the general said is very true. Come, please have another drink. Lu Su smiled, and immediately filled a cup for Sun Ce.

At this time, Zhou Yu took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Brother Xingye rushed back from Nan'an, presumably the decisive battle of Loudiyuan has begun, I don't know how the battle is?" ”

"Huh?" Sun Ce was slightly stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Why does Gong Jin knowingly ask? Since you already knew that the foolish brother hurried back to Anyi, when you knew that the war in Loudiyuan was in full swing, the foolish brother didn't want to wade into this pool of troubled waters, so he hurriedly got out and came back. As for the current situation of the war, it is unknown for the brother. At the beginning of this battle, the battle was a battle between dragons and tigers, and the battle of generals was very tragic, Yuan Shao's generals Wen Chou and Yan Liang were all killed, and the two generals under the command of the general, Xiliang, also died tragically in front of the battle.

However, after all, it was the generals under the command of the general who had superior skills, and even Lu Bu was defeated in front of the battle, and was seriously injured by Huan Fei, who was known as the first general of Xiliang, and almost lost his life. When the sun set, the two armies attacked in an all-out way, and it should have been two or three hours since the battle. As for the outcome, it is difficult to say at the moment, after all, the scale of this battle and the number of soldiers and horses are really an unprecedented battle that has been rare in the past 100 years, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner for a while and a half, at least until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”

Zhou Yu nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, for telling me directly." Since the war is in full swing, the foolish brother can only sit and wait for the war to end, and then send scouts to investigate the situation of the war. However, at the moment, the foolish brother still has something to ask for, I wonder if the brother can help? ”

Sun Ce's brows tightened when he heard this, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, but he pretended to be at a loss and said, "Something to ask for?" Although Gong Jin has something to say, if he can do anything for his brother, he will not disappoint the virtuous brother! ”

After Zhou Yu saw this, he glanced at Lu Su, and then said with a smile: "For my brother, this matter is not worth mentioning, you can do it with a raise of your hand, it depends on whether your brother is willing to help." ”
