Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

After leaving the meeting hall, Cai Hao looked up at the distant sky with a somewhat wistful expression.

Why did things turn out this way?

He is obviously an important task in Jingzhou. The entire Cai family has been deeply rooted in Jingzhou for a long time. Even Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, is considered his brother-in-law. His position in Jingzhou should be impregnable. How come it suddenly becomes like this?

Maybe all of this starts with the death of Sun Ce, right?

Obviously there is one less confidant.

But it caused violent shocks throughout the era and profoundly changed the current power structure of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty——

Sun Ce was buried in Lujiang, where he was attacked.

This was his last wish, the only last word he left after entrusting everything to his young brother Sun Quan. But now, new weeds are growing on his grave.

There was the sound of horse hooves, and then a figure got off the horse.

The figure slowly walked to the tomb and touched the name on the stone tablet with his hand, as if he was mourning a hero from a thousand years ago. After a long time, he sighed slightly.

The sun shone on his soft face, and this person was Sun Ce's adopted brother Zhou Yu.

He slowly sat on the ground, leaning against Sun Ce's stone tablet, took out a wine bottle, shook it and said, "Bo Fu, I'm here to drink with you."

Lu Xun held the horse and stood beside him, with a hint of sadness in his expression.

Zhou Yu took a sip of wine, and then said: "You are right, Zhongmou is very talented. Not long after he took over the power, Jiangdong has returned to stability. In the future, I will definitely help him to protect Jiangdong with peace of mind, and I will never let anyone The forces are involved in the Sun family's hegemony..."

He paused for a moment, and then said calmly: "I will hold on to the sky you have built for you."

Lu Xun sighed: "Captain..."

Zhou Yu smiled, turned to look at Lu Xun, and said with a smile: "When I fall, I will leave the rest of the burden to you."

Lu Xun said quickly: "Why did the governor say this?"

Zhou Yu did not answer, but raised the wine bottle in his hand and touched the tombstone: "Bo Fu, do it."

No one answered, only the sound of the wind.

Those youthful years, those years of drinking and singing, were transformed into nothingness in this vast wind.

Back then, they were two brothers.

The two people stepped into the quagmire of troubled times together and built the foundation of the Sun family together. But now one of them has been swallowed up by the quagmire of troubled times, leaving only the other alone.

In a humble room in Jingzhou, Pang Tong also raised the wine glass in his hand.

He raised his wine to the sky and said calmly: "Sun Ce, you are a hero. Let me use this glass of turbid wine to apologize for your heroic ambitions. This wine... is the lament of the overlord."

Sun Qian sighed softly: "Then, what's the next step...?"

Pang Tong smiled softly and said: "Wujiang's next step is to annex Cao Cao and unify the Central Plains. We must hurry up and seize the hegemony of Jingzhou. We have to compete with him to see who is faster, because whoever is one step slower will be devoured... …”

Sun Qian's tone was quite solemn and he sighed: "...Yes."

Pang Tong stood up and said: "Then, let the lord go and invite the [Sleeping Dragon] out now."

Sun Qian was startled and said: "The military advisor refers to...?"

Pang Tong stood with his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "One of the three disciples of Tianji Sect, the one who currently lives in Longzhong."

Sun Qian's eyelids twitched and he took a breath: "Tianjimen?"

Pang Tong nodded slightly but said nothing.

Hebei, Xindu.

Luo Qi looked at the chess game on the table and said calmly: "Now that Cao Cao has newly acquired Xuzhou, he needs to divide his troops to garrison them. The originally meager troops are scattered again... Everything is as planned. Now it is time for us to take action."

Huang Yueying sighed: "Poor Cao Cao didn't expect how deep your hole was."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "Of course he would not have thought that Lu Bu and I were allies from the beginning. Although it was only a fragile alliance temporarily united because of interests, it was enough for him to have the other party. Xuzhou was just a piece of pie for him to bite. It’s just a hooked bait, it looks good but doesn’t taste good.”

Huang Yueying smiled and said: "And now Cao Cao is unaware and has jumped into your trap."

Roach nodded and said, "That's right."

Huang Yueying sighed slightly: "Cao Cao's troops were originally very small, but part of them were used in the battle with Lu Bu's army and Sun Ce's army. Now he occupies a vast territory, but the available troops are too few. This kind of territory The sparsely populated situation will only make him trapped in a cocoon..."

Luo Qi smiled and said: "With Guo Jia blinding him for us, of course he would not have thought of this."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "So, what's your plan?"

Luo Qi said lightly: "Zhang He and Ju Yi each ordered an elite cavalry to crisscross Cao Fang's hinterland, while Gao Lan and the others led various troops to attack across the board. Now that the food and grass supplies are ready, as long as the Guandu army does not appear, If there is no food and fodder issue in the war simulation, then for Cao Fang, we will undoubtedly be overwhelmed by Mount Tai!"

Huang Yueying sighed: "And there is Guo Jia's cooperation."

Luo Qi nodded and said: "Cao Cao's food routes and their troop deployment are all under our control, and I am not the headstrong Yuan Shao. Can Cao Cao be undefeated this time?"

Huang Yueying sighed: "It's a pity."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "But what?"

Huang Yueying said: "It's a pity that Cao Cao, the first great hero, ended up in this way."

Luo Qi said lightly: "In such a troubled world, there is no emphasis on fairness."

Huang Yueying smiled and said nothing.

Luo Qi said: "It's a pity that in order to prevent problems in the Yue Kingdom, I left Zhao Yun and the others in the Yue Kingdom. Otherwise, it would be easier to defeat Cao Cao. After all, he has many good generals, all of whom are troublesome characters."

Huang Yueying approached Luo Qi and said with a smile: "But to you, isn't it all just like floating clouds?"

Luo Qi smiled and took her into his arms: "Because you trust me so much, I have to take down Cao Cao no matter what. When the time comes, I will give you both Xudu and Xuzhou...as a betrothal gift." .”

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luo Qi stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Don't you understand what I mean?"

Luo Qi held Huang Yueying in one hand, pointed to the map on the table with the other, and said: "After Cao Cao is defeated, I will go straight to Jingzhou. By then, I will conquer the Eastern Han Dynasty. It will be just around the corner... All these picturesque mountains and rivers will be given away to me." It’s your gift.”

The situation in the Eastern Han Empire was once again turbulent.

With the demise of the little overlord Sun Ce, the world has been engulfed in a heroic tragedy, and not long after this happened, another hero also began to come to an end.

He is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao started from humble beginnings and built his foundation on hardships and dangers. Then once it starts to collapse, everything happens in an instant, just like the melting of ice and snow, which often takes months or years, and an old building often collapses. It only takes a moment.

And Cao Cao's defeat happened in just a moment.

No one thought in advance that everything would happen so quickly. Whether it was Cao Cao or the dormant Liu Bei army in Jingzhou, no one thought that Cao Cao's army, which had elite soldiers and strong generals, would dissolve so easily.

That day, Cao Cao's head was hung on the tower.
