"It's simple, because you can't beat it."

"Can't beat it? How can Liu Biao be virtuous, my Jiangdong Erlang will not be able to defeat him Jingzhou soldiers? Sun Ce expressed serious disbelief.

"Bo Fu, I mean seriously, we really can't beat it. We may go north to fight Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, or we may still have some certainty that if we fight Jingzhou, it is impossible to win, and we will definitely lose. ”

"What do you say? You are too long, the enemy's ambition will destroy our own prestige! ”

"Bo Fu, I have these words from the bottom of my heart. Although we have been smooth sailing and invincible in the past two years, this is still very far from us being able to defeat Liu Biao. Liu Biao is not Liu Xuan, nor is he Wang Lang, he has been operating in Jingzhou for many years, and the most important thing, Jingzhou, the most powerful and most relied on, is the Jingzhou Sailor. And precisely, our worst is also a sailor. Our current sailor is not a little worse than the Jingzhou sailor, so if we want to fight Jingzhou and Liu Biao now, we will definitely lose 100% very badly. ”

"Sailor? Gongjin, this is not the same as what you said. You originally said that after we possess Jiangdong, we can go north to the Central Plains, or go west to Jingzhou, but now you say that we can't fight Jingzhou. So when will we be able to fight? Is it now the only way to go north? Sun Ce was a little dissatisfied.

"Without a strong sailor, our Jiangdong wants to conquer Jingzhou, which is absolutely wishful thinking. And to train a strong sailor, you must first build ships and train soldiers, which is by no means an overnight effort. Bo Fu, this urgency is not urgent. The water division, only the water division, is the foundation of our future foothold in Jiangdong. ”

"You," Sun Ce pointed at Zhou Yu with his finger, unable to speak for a long time, "You, foolish brother has been pitted by you." If I had known that I was going to defect to Cao Thief, maybe I would be able to avenge my father's murder in my lifetime. It's good now, maybe Liu Biao is old and dead, and we may not be able to win Jingzhou. You've made a foolish fool miserable. ”

"Bo Fu, you don't have to be too anxious, it's not as exaggerated as you think, you have a few years of work, just think about it."

"After several years, are you embarrassed to say it? It's easy to say, but I can't bear it for a moment. ”

Zhou Yu smiled, "Bo Fu, in fact, there is a good opportunity right now." However, the chances of success are not very high. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Now that Cao Cao is raising a large army to crusade against Lu Bu, with the temperament of Huainan Yuan Shu, how will he deal with it?"

"Yuan Highway, probably just wait and see, it's good not to fall into the well, if you want him to rescue Lu Bu, it is estimated that it will be difficult." Sun Ce analyzed.

"Not bad. But Yuan Shu, in my opinion, is also a person who is ambitious and talented, and is not willing to be lonely. Xuzhou is very lively, and Yuan Shu definitely does not want to be idle. We might as well unite with Yuan Shu and conspire with Jingzhou. ”

"Unite with Yuan Shu and conspire with Jingzhou?" Sun Ce frowned, "Is this possible?" ”

"Absolutely. Yuan Shu is definitely impossible to snatch food from Cao Cao's mouth and rob Xuzhou at the moment, and he refuses to save Lu Bu, Jiangdong We are his group, then only Jingzhou's idea can be fought. Jingzhou is a rich land, and he has no reason not to be moved. ”

"Didn't you say that Jingzhou is difficult to fight?"

"It's hard. But Yuan Shu's fight is different from ours, Yuan Shu can take the dry route to Lujiang to attack Jiangxia, and we don't have this condition on our side. Moreover, it is because it is difficult to fight that we have to unite with Yuan Shu and let Yuan Shu rush to the front to fight. ”

"You mean to weaken Yuan Shu?"

"Not bad! In fact, even if the two of us attack with all our might, it will be difficult to take Jingzhou. Without a strong sailor, you don't want to take Jingzhou at all. As long as Liu Biao is not confused, we don't even think about it. I instigated Yuan Shu to fight Jiangxia here because the end of Yuan Shu was approaching. And the land of Huainan of Yuan Shu, we must have it, so that it is possible to go north to the Central Plains in the future. Therefore, we have to compete with Cao Cao for time, weaken Yuan Shu first, and then take advantage of his unpreparedness to completely take the land of Huaiyang. ”

Now Sun Ce and them only have a few counties in their hands, such as Danyang, Wujun, and Huiji, and most of the land of Huaiyang are under the actual control of Yuan Shu.

"Alas, I'll just say that your mind is not on how to help me get revenge, it's all these messy ideas about the world. How can you be sure that Cao Cao will soon make a move on Yuan Shu? Sun Ce was dissatisfied with Zhou Yu.

"Simple, because Yuan Shu is the next soft persimmon. From Cao Cao's conquest of Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu, this is already obvious, and the next one is definitely Yuan Shu. ”

"What about after Yuan Shu?"

"Then it depends on whether we are soft persimmons, so we must hurry up and become strong during this period, and strive not to become the next soft persimmon in Cao Cao's eyes."

"Not necessarily. Maybe when the time comes, Cao Cao will not be able to take care of himself. Maybe by then, Yuan Shao has already unified Hebei, and the front has moved south. Or Liu Zhang, who was in the west, withdrew from the Western Regions and began to want to look east. Everything is still unknown. But Gongjin, you're right, no matter what, we have to hurry up and get stronger. The idea you just came up with is good, unite with Yuan Shu and conspire with Jingzhou. However, how can you say that Yuan Shu is moving? ”

"This Yu has already thought about it. Isn't Yuan Highway the heart of the emperor for a long time, and now the princes of the world are all busy, and we can take the opportunity to persuade them at this time. Isn't the heirloom jade seal in Yuan Shu's hand still given to him by us? Taking advantage of Yuan Shuyi's happiness, we will offer advice to him again and go south to Jingzhou. Liu Biao is a Han clan, and if Yuan Shu wants to be the emperor, it is logical to eliminate Liu Biao first. Thinking about this, it should also be able to say that Yuan Shu can be moved.

Moreover, we can also tell him that once Jingzhou is in possession, there is no need to be afraid of Cao ****, and we can resist it according to the Yangtze River moat. After taking Jingzhou, his dream of being an emperor will be able to sit back and relax. I'm not afraid that Yuan Highway won't take the bait. ”

"Hahaha, the foolish brother thought that he was the one who knew Yuan Highway best, but he didn't expect that the person who knew Yuan Highway best was you, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, you are so powerful. I thought it was a good idea, so we immediately went home and got ready. With that, Sun Ce stood up, took the war horse, and prepared to ride back to the city.

"Wait a minute, there's someone playing a tune over there."

"Gong Jin, do you know that if you are like this, not only the civil officials don't like you, but the military generals don't like you either?"

"Of course I do. I am an outlier in the eyes of the literati, holding a sword in my hand and shouting to kill, unlike the herdsmen who govern the country through the subset of history, they naturally don't like it; In the eyes of the martial artists, they are even more different, vassals are elegant, and they are smarter than them, and they definitely don't like it anymore. ”

"I thought you didn't know. You see I'm fine, I'm a martial artist. Martial artists, literati, whether they like me or not, they have to like me, otherwise I want them to look good; Don't talk about martial artists, it's all friendship. So, everybody likes me. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu very proudly. Let's go, don't be scared, it's important to get down to business. ”

"Wait a minute." Zhou Yu, who was just about to get on the horse, suddenly turned his head and walked in the direction of a bamboo forest.

"What's wrong?" Sun Ce hurriedly chased after him.

"I played the wrong note." Zhou Yu said.

"For the sake of a note, you threw aside the plan we just discussed to win the world?" Sun Ce said he didn't understand.

"The race for the world is not about this moment and a half, but whether we can become strong, which is not something we can grasp right now. Right now, Yu is sure that I can correct this note. Only by grasping the present can we look to the future. (To be continued.) )
