Three Kingdoms: Summon the Heroic Soul Yue Fei at the beginning

Chapter 263 Sun Ce Joins the Battle
Chapter 263 Sun Ce Joins the Battle
This cry, like a stone thrown into the water, instantly set off countless waves.

After all, in order not to let people find out, they changed from the official road to the side road, and they have not seen anyone for dozens of days.

"You can see clearly, is that our military flag?"

You must know that it is hundreds of miles away from Xuzhou, and basically has entered the boundary of Jizhou.

"Just now I asked the people around, and they said that this city was captured by others recently."

"Besides, the local people said that the person who captured this city was named Bai, so it must be General Bai Qi himself or his deputy."

Afterwards, he knelt down in front of Ye Xiao and said very sincerely.

After listening to Ye Xiao's habit, he turned his head to look at Zhang Liang, only to see Zhang Liang was touching his chin and lost in thought.

After about a cup of tea, Zhang Liang nodded and spoke slowly.

"My lord, it must be General Bai who made a nail here in order to prevent Yuan Shao. If my lord is worried, I can send someone to sneak into the city to ask for news. The people in the city or the soldiers guarding the city must know what happened in recent days."

"If General Bai Qi really takes these cities, it means that the war between us and Yuan Shao has already begun."

Ye Xiao nodded after listening, looked at the scout in front of him and said.

"Would you like to take a walk in this city?"

When the scout heard Ye Xiao's words, without any hesitation, he cupped his hands and said to Ye Xiao.

"Don't worry, my lord, the little one will not disgrace her life."

"Okay, here is my token, you take it, if the city is really occupied by Bai Qi's men, then with my token, it will be easier for you to come in and out."

Ye Xiao said as he handed the token around his waist to the scout in front of him.

The scout stretched out his hands, took Ye Xiao's token respectfully, and then got on his horse and walked towards the city.

Seeing the scouts moving away, Xiao turned around and said to the people around him.

"Everyone rests where they are, and the sentinels pay more attention to the direction of the city."

Soon, an hour had passed since the scouts left, but he still didn't come back, Ye Xiao couldn't sit still, so he planned to send someone to look again.

At this moment the scout came back.

"Why have you been there for so long? How is the situation in the city? Is the guard in the city under General Bai Qi, or is the guard in the city someone else?"

Ye Xiao couldn't respond to a series of questions, but Zhang Liang, who was standing by at the moment, looked at Ye Xiao and said.

"My lord, don't be restless, you have to let him answer one by one."

Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Ye Xiao realized that he was indeed a little anxious.

He took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then signaled the scouts to start talking.

"My lord guessed right, General Bai Qi's subordinates, this time when General Bai Qi attacked the city, the defenders had already run away with their family property."

Hearing what the scout said, Ye Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

"Since my lord is one of my own people in the city, it proves that I have not been discovered. I'd better hurry up, time is of the essence."

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xiao and saluted her.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go."

After speaking, Ye Xiao got on his horse and set off in the direction of Shangjun.

Three days later, Ye Xiao and his party rushed to Shangjun in a hurry.

Shangjun is connected to Jizhou in the north, Yanzhou in the south, and Yongzhou in the west. It can be said that it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

After entering Shangjun, the people who greeted Ye Xiao and Bai Qi sat down in Ye Xiao, and within a short time, a letter from Feige was sent over.

Ye Xiao opened the letter on the pigeon's leg, and there were several words densely written on the letter.

"Sun Ce sent an envoy saying that he was going north and hoped that we would give him a way to attack Yuan Shu."

Ye Xiao told everyone the contents of the letter.

"Sun Ce, what are you trying to do? Could it be that he thinks he can eat the land of Yangzhou?"

After Zhang Liang heard the content of the letter, he looked at Ye Xiao and asked.

"He's betting that we won't be able to eat the land of Yangzhou."

Ye Xiao's analysis is correct. The land of Yangzhou is vast, but it is divided into two by the Yangtze River. In the land of Jiangbei, Ye Xiao still has the ability to control the land of Jiangnan. As long as Yuan Shu is defeated, the land of Jiangnan will basically belong to Sun Ce up.

And at this time Ye Xiao is still facing a problem, that is, if he does not give up the land in the south of the Yangtze River to Sun Ce, then he and Sun Ce will be on opposite sides.

At that time, Sun Ce and a large river will be linked together, and Yuan Shao in the north will put Ye Xiao in a three-sided battle.

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Zhang Liang nodded immediately.

"Could it be that my lord will give up this land in the south of the Yangtze River to Sun Ce?"

"Of course I don't want to give up the land of Jiangnan to Sun Ce, but with our current strength, we cannot control the entire Jiangnan."

After all, there are many aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the four great families in the future will all come from the land of the south of the Yangtze River. Ye Xiao, as someone who opposes the aristocratic families, if he forcibly enters the south of the Yangtze River, he will be unanimously opposed by the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River. This is very unpleasant for Ye Xiao have witnessed.

"Zifang, pass on my order for Huo Qubing and Bai Qi to lead Yanzhou soldiers and horses to set up defenses on the Yellow River, and then send envoys to tell Sun Ce to allow him to go to Xuzhou to attack Yuan Shu. Not only that, but we will also provide him with military rations in Xuzhou."

Ye Xiao walked up to the map on the wall and looked at it, then said in silence for a while.

"Isn't my lord doing this to help Sun Ce grow?"

Hearing Ye Xiao say this, Zhang Liang didn't quite understand Ye Xiao's intention, so he asked immediately.

"Sun Ce, as the little overlord of Jiangdong, rode into Jiangdong alone and frightened the four great families of Jiangdong. However, the four great families of Jiangdong only temporarily surrendered to Sun Ce. After a period of time, the four great families must join forces to plot against Sun Ce. It is estimated that the matter of Sun Ce is not good. too much."

"And he will pass on his position as prefect of Changsha to Sun Quan."

These are Ye Xiao's deduction of historical trajectories based on some historical knowledge he knows and the current time.

Ye Xiao has always been very skeptical about Sun Ce's fall from the horse in history, because as a general who has followed Sun Jian for many years, Sun Ce would not easily startle the horse, so someone must have designed it to scare the horse.

So who can touch Sun Ce's horses, only the four great families in Jiangdong who were suppressed by him.

"Then why didn't Sun Ce pass the position to his son? If I remember correctly, Sun Ce has children under his knees."

Zhang Liang looked at Ye Xiaohao and asked.

"Sun Ce's sons are too young to deal with the four great families in Jiangdong, and Sun Quan has accumulated a lot of prestige over the years in the crusade against Wuyue. It is the best for Sun Ce to pass on to Sun Quan."

"And for us, Sun Quan is also the best. Although he knows how to use others well, he is eager to protect himself and has no enterprising spirit."

"And if Sun Ce wants to spy on the world, then he must win Jingzhou, and Liu Bei is in charge of Jingzhou, so it will take a lot of effort for Sun Ce to win Jingzhou. As long as we don't care about them, the two will fight .”
