Jiujiang, Dongcheng.
Sun Ce looked depressed and returned to the city with soldiers and horses.
"Defeated" Zhou Yu was reading a book, and when he saw Sun Ce's look of resentment, he couldn't help but laugh: "This battle, in fact, there is no need to fight, no matter whether you win or lose, you must withdraw from Huailing, otherwise Cao Rentun's soldiers and horses in Zhongli may cut off the rear road of our army at any time." ” "If you can't go down to Xuzhou again" Sun Ce sighed, turned his head to look at Zhou Yu and said, "Then Lu Bu is now stationed in Chen, which is really worrying. ” Lu Bu's deterrent power, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Ce, can not be ignored, Sun Ce has seen Guan Yu powerful, when he joined forces with Yan Liang, although he suppressed Guan Yu, but in the end he was almost cut down by Guan Yu.
But just such a person, Sun Ce can't imagine that when the tiger was imprisoned, he could only draw with Lu Bu when he joined forces with Zhang Fei, and Sun Ce, who also fought with Zhang Fei, knew very well that Zhang Fei's ability was not under Guan Yu, and in recent years, Lu Bu's prestige has become more prosperous under the impetus of the imperial court, and Lu Bu's soldiers Chen Liu, even if there is no movement, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Ce, they cannot be ignored, which is also the reason why Sun Ce is so eager to share the victory with Cao Cao.
It's a pity that Cao Cao is obviously not comparable to Yan Baihu and Wang Lang.
"Otherwise, Bo Fu thinks that you can come back so unharmed" Zhou Yu handed a piece of information to Sun Ce and said, "Form an alliance." ” "Alliance" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with some incredulity, just two hours ago, he almost fought with Xiahou Yuan, and the soldiers of both sides were red-eyed when they killed in Huailing, but now they told him that they wanted to form an alliance "If you don't align, you have to die" Zhou Yu motioned to Sun Ce to see the information, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I have ordered someone to invite Shu Bi, this time, no matter what, I have to take Shu Bi down the mountain, Zuo Ci's old way is too hateful." ” "Don't mention that old thing to me, I saw that he was sincere, so I handed over the third brother to him, I don't want this old guy to turn his face and deny people, if it weren't for you and the second brother to stop him, I would have cut him with my own hands" At the mention of Zuo Ci, Sun Ce was angry.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have gone to visit Sun Yi several times in recent years, but they were blocked by Zuo Ci, and it would be fine if they were treated equally, but when Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang went to visit, they were not blocked, which made Sun Ce very annoyed, why "Let's take a look at the information first, I have handed over this matter to Jiang Qin and Zhou Taier, I believe that this time, there will be news."
Zhou Yu shook his head and motioned to Sun Ce to read the letter first, the current situation in the world, as far as Jiangdong is concerned, is not optimistic, whether it is Sun Ce or Cao Cao, they do not have the ability to destroy each other in a short time, which makes Sun Ce very surprised, Cao Cao took the two counties of Xiapi and Guangling The time is about the same as the time they took Runan, but the two counties have been managed as steadily as a rock, so that they have no opportunity to take advantage of it.
And Cao Cao obviously had the same idea, quickly annexed Sun Ce, and then gathered the strength of the two families to fight against the imperial court, if possible, it is best to annex Jingzhou together, so that it is enough to fight against the imperial court.
It's a pity that neither side expected the other party to be so difficult, the Jiangdong Navy is a big hurdle for Cao Cao, whether it is on the river or in the port, they have lost again and again, and Jiangdong's combat effectiveness on land also needs to be improved, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they have been fighting for more than half a year, and they can't help each other, at this time, if they continue to fight, they will lose both, so Zhou Yu put forward the proposal of forming an alliance, and Cao Cao's side is obviously the same mind, so this time it can obviously give Sun Ce a heavy blow, but in the end it was not implemented, For the sake of this, it is natural to show sincerity.
"Zhongli actually has heavy troops," Sun Ce frowned and looked at Zhou Yu.
"It has been found out that Cao Ren and Cao Hong have been secretly stationed here for several months, and if it weren't for Cao Cao sending this letter, our army would not have been alert at all."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu also secretly pinched a cold sweat, if it weren't for Cao Cao to send this letter to show his sincerity, even if Sun Ce didn't die, I am afraid that most of the 30,000 soldiers and horses he brought this time would have to be lost, these are the best land warfare troops in Jiangdong, once lost, Jiangdong can naturally be preserved, but in the land of Lujiang, Runan, and Jiujiang, Sun Ce does not have the capital to compete with Cao Cao at all.
Cao Cao was willing to reveal this matter and let Sun Ce leave, obviously also releasing a goodwill, hoping that the two sides could join forces again, otherwise if they really continued to fight, it would only be the imperial court that would benefit in the end.
"How to fight Lu Bu after the alliance" Sun Ce frowned and looked at Zhou Yu and said, there is more than one Lu Bu in the imperial court, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Natai Shici, Xu Chu, Pang De, and Ma Chao Sun Ce didn't want to count it anymore, every one of them was put in Jiangdong, they were all top generals comparable to Sun Ce, but in the imperial court, they could attract a bunch of them at once, if the victory or defeat was determined by the fighting generals, the imperial court only needed to send these people out to fight in turns, and the world would be calm.
The previous four princes, who gathered 400,000 soldiers and horses, did not break through the Tiger Prison Pass in the end, and this time, even if they joined forces with Cao Cao, it was not as powerful as the last time.
"No" Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Go to Jingzhou" "Jingzhou" Sun Ce frowned, at this time to provoke Jingzhou, isn't it that Liu Biao has nothing to say about the princes attacking the imperial court before the extraneous branches, if he goes to attack Jingzhou at this time, won't he force Liu Biao to fall to the imperial court "Not bad" Zhou Yu smiled and nodded: "Bo Fu has not found out, it has been several years, and Liu Biao has not invited celebrities and celebrities" Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou with literature, and the scribes had a very high status in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao used to invite some celebrities or young heroes in Jingzhou to set up a banquet almost every few days.
But if you carefully study the information of Jingzhou, although Liu Biao will discuss with a group of Jingzhou civil and military personnel every day, he has not held a banquet to entertain these literati for several years, which is undoubtedly a very strange thing.
"You mean" Sun Ce's eyes lit up, he could discuss political affairs, but he had not appeared in public for several years, this is undoubtedly a very strange thing, and the explanation that can be thought of is that the monarch and the minister are out of harmony, and there may even be infighting secretly, but in the end, Liu Biao lost and was set aside by the Jingzhou family.
"When that's the case" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "If you can take Jingzhou, you can plan Shuzhong, the Son of Heaven has only been here for five years, and Shu Road is difficult, the court wants to rescue, and it is difficult to catch up, just take Jingzhou, you can use Jingzhou as a springboard, attack Shuzhong, Cao Cao If he can contain the imperial court, it is the best, even if he can't, as long as our army can seize Shuzhong, with Jiangdong and Shuzhong, two natural dangers, and Jingzhou and other soldiers must fight, it is enough to compete with the imperial court." ” "However, Cao Cao also needs to be on guard."
Sun Ce's eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice.
Judging from Cao Cao's current situation, if he can't take Jiangdong, there will be no development at all, and now although he has temporarily reconciled with Sun Ce, if there is a chance, Sun Ce believes that even if Cao Cao does not fight for a big county like Runan, he will definitely not let go of Jiangdong, and only by occupying Jiangdong, Cao Cao will have a way to live.
Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this, this must be guarded against, but there is no need to worry too much, Cao Cao has no navy, even if he crosses the river, he will only be beaten by the Jiangdong navy, and when the time comes, he only needs to cut off the Yangtze River to trap Cao Cao's army across the river.
"Then send someone to discuss the alliance with Cao Cao."
Sun Ce rubbed his face, although he was still fighting Xiahou Yuan to the death before, but he was not a pure general, but also a prince all the way, although he was a little unhappy for a while, he was also able to adjust his emotions.
Seven days later, Jiangdong, Qua.
In order to facilitate the visit to Sun Yi, Sun Ce set up a Taoist temple for Zuo Ci outside Qu'a City, but later, for some reason, Zuo Ci suddenly took Sun Yi away on the grounds of study, and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in Wu County, and lived together.
"Master, when can I go down the mountain to help my eldest brother" On this day, Sun Yi completed his daily training, frowned and ran to Zuo Ci's side, counting, he hadn't seen Sun Ce for a few years, although it was the second brother Sun Quan who often came to visit, but even if he hadn't seen him for a few years, Sun Yi was closer to Sun Ce in his bones.
"It's coming."
Zuo Ci did not answer, but looked at the sky, Jiangdong's luck has been achieved, and a few years ago, after Zuo Ci saw Sun Quan, he found out that the hidden dragon in Jiangdong was not Sun Ce, but should be on Sun Quan, although Sun Ce was based on Jiangdong's luck, but there was a death catastrophe in his fate, which was destined by God, and Sun Ce acted very tyrannically in Jiangdong, suppressing the scholars too much, although the luck was strong, but it was like a rootless wanderer, it was difficult to hold for a long time, Zuo Ci speculated that the day Sun Ce should be robbed, I am afraid that it is the time when Sun Quan's hidden dragon came out of the abyss, and because of this, Zuo Cicai took Sun Yi away and severed contact with Sun Ce.
Now Sun Yi's potential has gradually been developed, and his spiritual wisdom has recovered a lot, but his heart has only grown from two or three years old to seven or eight years old, Zuo Ci knows that this is also a side effect of the stars.
After all, it is a direct seizure, not a mother's womb, the original body is difficult to withstand the power of the stars, plus the impact of the soul, or become like the Hu people back then, the temperament has changed drastically, or it may be like Sun Yi is now, his mind is incomplete.
Even he didn't expect that the Han Dynasty, who seemed to be the last dynasty, would be able to come back to life, and in just a few years, it gradually prospered, but this is definitely not the will of heaven, otherwise there would be no stars from the sky to hinder the Han from dominating the world, and the Han Emperor also made Zuo Ci feel weird, he was able to mobilize the luck of the Han Dynasty and be able to seal the gods, I am afraid that it is because of this that he has attracted the wrath of the heavens.
"Master" A boy ran over in a panic: "There are a lot of troops coming down from the mountain, and they threaten to let the master release the son, otherwise he will wave his troops to attack the mountain." ” "Oh" Zuo Ci heard this, pinched his fingers, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and nodded: "It's okay, idiot, follow me down the mountain, it's time to meet your brother." ” "Oh, good" Sun Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded excitedly. t1706231537:
