Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

In fact, Cheng Pu's temper is not very good. He is also very angry about Fuchun's change, but now Cheng Pu must keep calm, because in the past, Sun Jian was in charge of him to make decisions, so he didn't have to worry too much. Although Sun Ce is the main force in the army today, Sun Ce is too young after all. Under the heavy burden, Sun Ce can't bear it and can curse others to vent, but no matter how much pressure they are elders, they must not be chaotic on the surface. People will panic, and even Sun Ce himself will lose his sense of proportion.

However, regarding Cheng Pu's question, Sun Ce gradually calmed down, but also remained silent.

Sun Ce knew that the time for him to leave Yuan Shu was not good, but he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise Li Yi would solve Yuan Shu, and he would have no chance at all. The county was going well, but now that it has just started to expand, it was blocked by Longshu, followed by the capture of Fuchun, which made Sun Ce feel a little shaken in his heart. Could it be that he really shouldn't be against Li Yi?

Seeing that Sun Ce's expression was not normal, Cheng Pu, who had been looking at him, reminded softly, "Bo Fu, Fuchun actually doesn't need to worry too much."

Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Li Yi occupies Fuchun, how can my mother's people?"

Sun Ce only said this halfway, and there was a touch of understanding between his brows.

Indeed, Sun Ce hated Li Yi very much, but Sun Ce also had to admit that Li Yi's reputation is really good. Apart from being a bit of a womanizer on the surface, he has almost no shortcomings. Malicious, but Sun Jian made meritorious service in conquering Dong Zhuo. With this, Li Yi can deal with him, Sun Ce, but he can't do anything to the innocent members of the Sun family, otherwise he will be criticized.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce felt a little relieved, but he would not speak for Li Yi, so he skipped this section and asked directly, "What does the general mean, continue to operate Lujiang?"

Chapter 546 Major General, Take Care

Cheng Pu looked at the expressions of the people in the tent, hesitated for a while, and then said, "According to our original plan, Li Yi and Yuan Shu will not be able to fight in Jiujiang, and no one will take care of other places in Yangzhou. land, but now"

Cheng Pu paused for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say, but Sun Ce had already understood what he meant. Although Sun Ce didn't want to hear such words, he still respected the old people like Cheng Pu very much, so Sun Ce didn't show it. Out of impatience, he said softly, "Just speak out, General."

With a deep sigh in his heart, Cheng Pu stopped struggling, and said directly, "Although Bofu moved quickly in Lujiang, he stabilized Wan County in a few days, but compared to Li Yi, he was still a step behind. Outside Shucheng, Li Yi has already started to plan for Wu County. To put it bluntly, by the time I take Lujiang, all other places in Yangzhou will have already fallen into Li Yi's hands. By then, we will be surrounded by enemies, unless Li Yi Self-destruction of the Great Wall, I really don’t know how to resist.”

Sun Ce was silent. Although Cheng Pu's words sounded very unmotivated, Sun Ce knew that what Cheng Pu said was actually being polite. Now they are not only one step slower than Li Yi, but too much slower.

Taking a breath to calm his mind, Sun Ce looked at the others and asked, "Do you all see this too?"

Huang Gai and Han Dang on the side nodded slightly, while Zhou Tai didn't speak, because compared to Cheng Pu and others, Zhou Tai knew that his experience was too shallow, so naturally he didn't express his opinions easily.

Sun Ce was silent for a while, looked at Cheng Pu again, and asked, "Since this is the case, what does the general think is the next step?"

Cheng Pu glanced at Sun Ce and replied, "Let's leave Lujiang and go to Yanzhou."

"Ok?"

Sun Ce was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Cheng Pu to give such an answer, and not only Sun Ce, but also Huang Gai and the others all stared wide-eyed, showing surprise at this answer.

Just like that, everyone was surprised for a while, and Huang Gai suddenly shouted, "No!"

Cheng Pu asked "Why?"

Huang Gai said angrily, "Did De Mou forget that it was the one who refused to save the general who caused the general to suffer!"

Huang Gai was talking about the fact that when Sun Jian was ambushed, Cao Cao, who was the rear army, not only failed to rescue him, but retreated in fright. At that time, Sun Ce and the others even had some conflicts with Cao Cao, and Cao Cao thought he was at a disadvantage and apologized to Sun Ce. The apology, and the fact that Sun Ce didn't kill Sun Jian directly, in the end that matter will be over.

However, the matter is settled, but if Sun Ce is asked to go to Yanzhou to join Cao Cao, it will be a different situation, and Huang Gai can't accept it.

As for why he defected to Cao Cao instead of Lu Bu, this was obvious to Huang Gai. Although Cao Cao had some conflicts with the Sun family, Cao Cao himself was fine. As for Lu Bu, let alone killing Ding Yuan, Huang Gai just looked down on him.

Cheng Pu said helplessly, "Cao Cao was indeed at fault for what happened at the beginning, but if Bo Fu went to Yanzhou, he would naturally help Cao Cao in name, but in the future to expel Lu Bu, it would not be difficult for Bo Fu and Cao Cao to divide Yanzhou evenly. No, so, why bother with a little detail?"

This time, Huang Gai didn't refute anymore, because according to what Cheng Pu said, if Sun Ce passed, he would have bad intentions, and he would even cheat Cao Cao in the end.

So Huang Zhong sat back and looked at Sun Ce, hoping that Sun Ce would make up his mind.

As for Sun Ce himself, when Cheng Pu talked with Huang Gai just now, although he didn't express his opinion, he was still thinking about it in his heart. morale issues.

The morale of Sun Ce's soldiers and horses was not high in the first place, and there was no way to do it. Many people in the team that suddenly broke away from Yuan Shu's camp followed Sun Ce because they had no choice. How high can such morale be?

Under such circumstances, if Sun Ce advances triumphantly all the way and makes the soldiers under his command feel that they are going ahead, their morale will naturally rise. However, Sun Ce has not performed very well so far except for a sneak attack on Wanxian County. On the contrary, bad news has continued. Constantly, so the morale of the army is very worrying.

It's just that, and now even Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others are showing signs of retreating, which really makes Sun Ce feel very powerless.

To help Cao Cao and carve up Yanzhou, what Cheng Pu said is simple, but in fact, even if they go to Yanzhou, they don’t know how many people and how much combat power they will have left. Whether it is Yanzhou or Xuzhou, Cao Cao's performance is remarkable, such a character will never appeal. With Lu Bu's example in front, can you still guess their intentions?

Therefore, in Sun Ce's mind, Cheng Puhui suggested to leave Lujiang and transfer to Yanzhou. In fact, they were afraid, did not dare, and did not have the confidence to fight Li Yi, so they chose to escape. Open Li Yi's edge.

However, Sun Ce did not blame others for this, because he himself was quite desperate.

"Let me think about this matter and discuss it tomorrow."

In the end, Sun Ce did not give a direct answer, but postponed the matter, and everyone understood that, after all, the matter was too involved and could not be resolved with a slap on the head.

Thus, the discussion ended in a depressing atmosphere. When Cheng Pu and the others left Sun Ce's tent, they were all in a heavy mood. They just nodded at each other and went back to their respective tents.

On Cheng Pu's side, after returning, he sent out his own soldiers, took a pot of wine by himself, took a sip from time to time, and then squinted his eyes to think about the future, but the more he thought about it, the tighter his frown became, and the wine also The more he drank, even if it weren't for being in the military camp, he would really have the urge to get drunk

Because, facing the road ahead, Cheng Pu really felt powerless.

"General!"

Just as he was thinking about something, a personal guard walked in. Cheng Pu really opened his eyes and was a little unhappy, but he didn't get angry, but asked, "What's the matter?"

The personal guard probably also knew that Cheng Pu was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said directly, "I have someone outside the account who wants to see me, and I came with the previous Fuchun messenger."

Cheng Pu's eyes were puzzled at first, but then there was a flash of displeasure. He felt that the person was probably related to Li Yi, and wanted to persuade him to surrender or something.

"Let him in."

Cheng Pu didn't directly shut people out. After all, it was just a guess, and even if it was Li Yi's person, it didn't matter. He would see him when he saw him, and it would be good to explore Li Yi's mind. As for whether this move would arouse Sun Ce's anger Doubt, hehe, the trust between them is not that bad yet.

Soon, a messenger came in, and after saluting Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu couldn't help blinking, because this person looked familiar.

Cheng Pu asked, "Have I met you?"

The messenger replied, "The villain was General Sun's personal guard a few years ago, but he was injured later, so he was left in the mansion by the general as a steward."

"I see"

When he heard that he was an old man who had been with Sun Ce, even if he was just an ordinary soldier, Cheng Pu's face immediately softened a lot, and he even specially asked him to sit down before talking about business.

The messenger took out two letters from his bosom, sent them to Cheng Pu, and said, "This is a letter written by Madam, and please open it yourself, General."

Cheng Pu nodded, and opened the letter. At first, he just sighed, because Mrs. Sun was talking about Li Yi's entry into the city, but immediately he frowned, because Mrs. Sun said that Li Yi took out Sun Jian's own blood letter, proving that Li Yi Yi is innocent, and has made a marriage contract with Sun Ce's younger sister, that is to say, Li Yi is the son-in-law of the Sun family

Cheng Pu couldn't help but rubbed the center of his brows vigorously. He didn't suspect anything when Sun Ce tore up the blood book just now, but when Mrs. Sun delivered the letter, he guessed that Sun Ce might have torn it up on purpose just now. Regarding this, Cheng Pu I don't know what to say.

Indeed, it was Sun Ce's fault that Sun Ce tore it up, but how could he admit it? Now that he admits it, the hearts of the people here will be scattered before tomorrow.

Sighing, Cheng Pu looked down again, and the expression on his face immediately became stiff, because Mrs. Sun said that Sun Ce might not recognize Li Yi's blood book. For Sun Ce's life and the future of the Sun family, Mrs. Sun please He can directly tie Sun Ce and send it to Li Yi

Mrs. Sun also explained a lot of great truths in the letter, how to be good for Sun Ce, for Sun Jiahao, of course, also for the sake of those who have followed Sun Jian

Cheng Pu was a little irritable today, but after reading this letter, his mood became even more chaotic. He was like a bull, panting continuously in his nostrils, very anxious.

After an unknown period of time, Cheng Pu got up suddenly, ignored the messenger, strode out of the camp directly, ordered the soldiers to watch the messenger, and strode towards Sun Ce's camp.

The next day, early in the morning, Cheng Pu came to Sun Ce's tent to discuss matters as usual, and he couldn't help but gasped when he saw Huang Gai, thinking that Huang Gai's eyes were black, he couldn't help but asked with concern, "Gong Fu, what's the matter, is it because he's not feeling well?"
