The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 152

Danyang,

Wanling, in the general's mansion.

Sun Ce held the bamboo slips, a smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said loudly, "Haha, okay, Yuan Shu can't hold it anymore."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head to look at Zhou Yu, and said with a light smile, "Gong Jin, Yuan Shu fled north, should our army take advantage of the situation to capture Jiujiang and capture Lujiang?"

Zhou Yu nodded, but his eyebrows were pensive.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Zhou Yu's deep expression, Sun Ce couldn't help asking.

"My lord, Jiujiang is broken, so it can be taken lightly. But Liu Xun of Lujiang is just a money-grubbing person, so it's not worth mentioning." Zhou Yu complained, and then said, "But what Yu is worried about is Jingzhou Zhangxiu."

"This person has a great talent and strategy. In less than two years, he has occupied all the seven counties of Jingxiang and Wuchang under his command. I'm afraid he won't sit back and watch us plot Lujiang."

"You mean that Zhang Xiu will attack Lujiang before us?" Sun Ce frowned slightly.

"It's not impossible," Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "but our army is bound to win Lujiang. If Lujiang is lost, Jiujiang and Guangling will also be lost."

"Defending the river without the Huai River, he will be defeated in the end. What's more, only by capturing the Lujiang River can we force back the defenders of Zhang Xiuzhu and Chaisang, which kills two birds with one stone."

"Can Gongjin teach me something?" Sun Ce said sincerely.

Zhou Yu pondered for a long time, and said: "Lujiang is not unacceptable. My lord can attack east and west. Now I will send Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other veterans to camp with Peng Ze, and make an emergency attack on Chaisang in the spring."

"At the same time, Bo Fu could write a letter to Cao Cao, asking him to send a general to unfurl Cao Cao's banner, lead the partial army out of Xuchang, and go straight to Nanyang."

"In this way, Zhang Xiu will be attacked from both sides, and he will definitely have no time to look after him. In this way, the lord can lead a powerful army to gallop across the Lujiang River, and only then can he win the battle."

"But Gong Jin, Cao Cao is busy with the affairs of Xuzhou, even if he sends troops to Nanyang, he will definitely make a feint. Zhang Xiu has so many civil servants and advisers, how can he fail to see through this strategy of attacking east and west?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Hehe, of course we can see through it. But even so, Zhang Xiu dare not be negligent, and will definitely send troops to help Yecheng and garrison Chaisang."

"Because if there is a miscalculation, resulting in the loss of Nanyang County, it will be a huge blow to Zhang Xiu. What's more, the soldiers who captured Lujiang in this battle are not many."

"My lord, you can send all the soldiers of the various tribes to Peng Ze, and personally lead [-] elite troops to attack Lujiang by surprise.

If Zhang Xiu still insists on attacking Lujiang, then let several old generals take back Chaisang, so as not to be harmed by Zhang Xiu's throat. "

Zhou Yu smiled gently and explained confidently.

"Hehe, good, Gongjin's plan is very good." Sun Ce said with a hearty smile, "Come here, call all the generals to discuss matters in the general's house."

"No!" The guard retreated.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and said, "As for Liu Xun, he is greedy for money and has no plans. Bo Fu can send envoys to send gold and silver items, and sincerely invite him to attack Shangliao City on his behalf."

"In addition, he expressed his willingness to form an alliance with him, and showed a posture of bowing his head. Presumably, with Liu Xun's wisdom, he would be happy to agree, so that the lord can take advantage of the vacancy and attack the Lujiang River in one fell swoop."

"This plan is feasible. I will send envoys to Liu Xun and Cao Cao later." Sun Ce said with a hearty smile.

In the third year of Jian'an, winter has not passed.

In the four fields, the cold wind was blowing, blowing on the faces of a group of soldiers in worn armor like blades.

Their faces were blue and purple, it was from the cold, and they hadn't eaten for many days, so it could be said that they were suffering from hunger and cold.

And in front of them was a ruined temple.

Yuan Shu got off his horse and staggered towards the temple, his eyes glowed with extreme hunger.

After searching in the temple, but found nothing, he was annoyed, and fell down in front of the temple, looking at the civil and military officials under his command, he shouted: "Come here, go, go and get my honey water."

"Your Majesty, honey, the honey water has long since disappeared, and now there is only snow water." An eunuch tremblingly handed over a water bag and shouted in pain.

"Waste, all waste. I want honey water, go and find me honey water, go quickly." Yuan Shu shouted heartbreakingly, his expression could not hide his frustration.

I think he changed from the once famous overlord of the Jianghuai River to the downcast emperor in a blink of an eye.From having hundreds of thousands of soldiers to now only a few hundred soldiers, he hates, he hates.

For a mere Liu Bei, mat weavers and shoe sellers could chase him around, and as for Cao Cao, he was not even worthy to carry his shoes in the past.

However, now he is so downcast, what an insult.

Thinking of this, his pupils shrank, and immediately spurted out a mouthful of old blood, which sprayed far away, his entire eyeballs were wide open, and he could not rest in peace.

Maybe he was hating Cao Cao and Liu Bei, maybe he was also hating Zhang Xiu, because his beauty was detained by him in Xiangyang, which is really hateful.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Everyone knelt down and cried out in pain.

They were able to follow them to this day, so they couldn't be said to be very loyal, but they didn't want Yuan Shu to die. After all, the Yuan family was famous, and once they arrived in Qingzhou, they would be prosperous again.

Jian'an three years, January.

Emperor Zhongshi vomited blood and died, ending the Zhongshi regime in just one year.

After discussing with his disciples and martial arts, Qi Qi decided to transport Yuan Shu's body to Jingzhou and join Zhang Xiu.

In any case, the Yuan family is also in Jingzhou, so having her to take care of her can be regarded as some protection, at least she won't be starving all day long.

It's just that things backfired. After Liu Xun heard the news, he sent people to invite Yuan Shu's family members and subordinates into Lujiang County, which also made everyone think nothing.

On the eve of early spring, Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu, and Sun Ce learned of Yuan Shu's death one after another. They were not surprised, but they made the ready-to-go war imminent.

First, Sun Ce ordered Huang Gai, and Han Dang as the chief and deputy governors, leading an army of [-], who claimed to be guarding Pengze with an army of [-].He personally led the army from Niuzhu camp to the north, intending to occupy Jiujiang and look down on Lujiang.

Followed by Cao Cao, he ordered Xu Huang to be the vanguard and Xia Houyuan to be the general, leading 5000 troops, known as an army of [-], and dispatched mighty troops to Ye County to echo Sun Ce.

He was the last person he wanted to see Zhang Xiu grow up.

At the same time, he personally sits in Pengguo, has already stationed tens of thousands of troops, and is ready to encircle Xiapi at any time, gather and annihilate Lu Bu, so as to occupy the Central Plains, facing Yuan Shao's rivers.

As for Jingzhou, there are many generals in the general's mansion.

In recent days, Cao Cao and others' mobilization of Zhang Xiu is naturally clear, but some in-depth information has not been grasped, there is no way, the transmission of ancient information is too slow.

In addition, in the enemy-occupied area, there are many checkpoints, even if there is a guide, you can't run around, and some meticulous work can only go around the mountain, so the delay is too long.

Zhang Xiu stood with his sword in his hand, glanced at everyone, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Sun Ce and Cao Cao have already mobilized troops. Cao Cao wants to attack Yecheng with Xia Houyuan as the main general."

"Sun Ce is using Huang Gai as the main general to take Chaisang. What do you think about this?"

"My lord, although Nanyang has no danger to defend, Yecheng has been consolidated in recent years and is already unbreakable. How could Cao Cao leave Xuzhou alone to attack Yecheng?"

"The general thinks that this is just Cao Cao's plan, so there is no need to step on him." Huang Zhong said with his fists clasped.

"That being said, it can be false and true, and true but false. If Cao Cao goes the other way and captures Yecheng with a large army, Yecheng will be in danger." Zhang Xiu said with a frown.

"My lord, don't worry too much!"
