Chapter 231 Jiangdong Yundong

"What's the matter?" Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Xun Wenruo, and even Guo Jia and others beside him looked at Xun Wenruo. At this time, everyone had already regarded Liu Qi as a big enemy. If possible, they would definitely let Jingzhou have no place to turn over.

"When I was in Jingzhou, I discussed with Jia Xu, the counselor of Zhang Xiu. At that time, Jia Xu had decided to persuade Zhang Xiu to join the lord. Unfortunately, the world was impermanent, and Wancheng fell into the hands of Liu Biao so quickly."

"Now that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu are wary and imprisoned in Xiangyang, Zhang Xiu and the two will definitely hate Liu Qi to the bone. If the master can secretly send people to contact him, he will definitely make the two people turn to the master. If according to the master's strategy Jingzhou will definitely crisis this time, then Liu Qi may re-use Zhang Xiu. At that time, if Zhang Xiu can fight back With a blow, there will be no day for Jingzhou to turn over. Xun Wenruo looked at the crowd.

Hearing Xun Wenruo mention Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao's face flashed a trace of anger in his eyes, but then he was pressed down. He knew that Xun Wenruo was right, but this embroidery was a murderous hatred with him, and his best son was killed by this embroidery.

"Lord, this is not the time to care about personal grudges. Moreover, even if this embroidery is a counterattack, it may not occupy Jingzhou. After all, Liu Biao's prestige in Jingzhou is very high, and Zhang Xiu's rebellion will definitely attract the counties of Jingzhou to attack it." Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Guo Jia hurried forward to persuade him. Everyone knew the relationship between Cao Ang and Cao Cao Cao, but this was not a good time to deal with Zhang Xiu. For them, Zhang Xiu was not enough to compare with Jingzhou.

"Okay, in this case, let's leave it to Wen Ruo at this time." Cao Cao sighed in his heart and knew that it was not the time to be angry.

"The Lord is wise." Several people in the hall immediately rejoiced.

"Well, let's suppress Liu Qi first." Cao Cao waved his hand.

"No."

.....................................................................

In Lujiang County, the Taishou Mansion has been requisitioned by Sun Ce as the temporary residence of Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's 150,000 troops in Jingzhou's expedition this time, except for some of the troops stationed in Chai Sanghe, the rest of the soldiers and horses are here.

Sun Ce has been in Lujiang County for more than ten days. In these more than ten days, except for a team of scouting in and out, the 150,000 troops did not take any action. However, despite this, the vigilance of Jiangdong and Jiangxia is many times tighter than usual, which also makes the people of Jiangxia and Lujiang County feel heavy.

In the state pastoral mansion, Sun Ce kept waving the halberd in his hand and sweating profusely, looking as if he had been fished out of the water. Sun Ce didn't want to attack Jingzhou, but every time he proposed to attack Jingzhou, he would be dissuaded by Zhang Yu and Zhou Yu.

According to Sun Ce's plan, at this time, when there were not many soldiers and horses in Jiangxia, he first severely damaged the flying dragon army in Jingzhou, and then decided whether to fight with Jingzhou. However, every time he proposed it, he would be dismissed by Zhou Yu, saying that this was not the best time.

Although he wants to hit the Flying Dragon Army hard, he also knows that Zhou Yu is right. The flying dragon army's southern and northern battle is not even more than his pro-guards, and the pro-guards have not really fought since the formation of the pro-guards, and this Feilong army is Liu Biao's sharp weapon to deter all sides. At this alone, he can know that if the pro-guards meet the flying dragon army, it will definitely not be his opponent.

The most important thing is that this person is not only very strong in command. Although he is good at defense, once the opponent has any flaws, he will hit the opponent hard as soon as possible. This is also what Sun Ce is most afraid of. The Flying Dragon Army is an elite. Once he decides to defend the city in a short time, it will attack. It won't come down, but even he and Zhou Yu can't guarantee that Jiangdong's army will not make any mistakes during this period.

Any mistake may be seen by Wenpin. Wenpin's vision and grasp of the battle situation are extremely accurate. This can be seen from Jiangdong's several attacks on Jiangxia and being easily repelled by Wenpin when he was about to take down Jiangxia.

During this period, he sent thousands of scouts to pay attention to the situation of Jiangxia at any time. He wanted to find out the weakness of Wenpin, but this recruitment was obviously more patient than they thought. Although hundreds of thousands of troops were under pressure during this period, the recruitment was not in a hurry. When Jiangdong army arrived, Wenpin closed the city gate. After the Jiangdong army retreated, Jiang Xia returned to normal. It's not that he didn't think about sneak attack, but the scouts of the Flying Dragon Army also didn't know Jiangdong's situation well.

"Lord, there are people outside who claim to be messengers of the Son of Heaven." A personal guard ran over.

"Oh, can the messenger of the emperor verify his true body?" Sun Ce put away the halberd and asked in surprise.

"It has been experienced that there is no problem with the seal in his hand." The soldier bowed.

"Oh, then ask him to wait on the hall. Go and ask Gong Jin and Zigang to let them come together." With that, Sun Ce put down the long halberd in his hand and went to the backyard.

When he came to the backyard, Sun Ce groomed up under the service of the maid. After changing into Hou's clothes, he went to the hall with Zhou Yu and Zhang Yu, who arrived. Soon, they came to the hall. A young man in his thirties on the hall sat calmly.

Seeing Sun Ce come in, the young man got up and said, "Du Xi has seen Wu Hou."

"Sir is the messenger of the Son of Heaven. You don't have to be so polite." Although Sun Ce was arrogant and awe-inspiring in his heart, Du Xi was very respectful to him and he would not be rude to him.

"I don't know what you are doing here in Jiangdong? But what does the emperor need to explain?" Several people sat down, and Sun Ce looked at Du Xi and asked.

"Wuhou is right. The emperor hopes that Wuhou can attack Jingzhou with Cao Sikong." Du Xi did not hide the purpose of the trip. He came to Jiangdong on Cao Cao's order to persuade Sun Ce to send troops to attack Jingzhou. Naturally, he had a certain understanding of Sun Ce and knew that Sun Ce was not soft and did not pretend to be a messenger.

"Oh, Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, is a relative of the Han family. Why did the emperor suddenly make an edict to attack Jingzhou?" Sun Ce was stunned and didn't understand how Cao Cao would attack Jingzhou at this time. Could it be possible to attack it this time without attacking it in the first few times?

"Hey, Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou, dared to kill Xu Zhongkang, the messenger of the emperor. This obviously did not pay attention to the emperor's son. The emperor was furious and ordered Cao Chun and Cao Ren's two generals to lead 20,000 troops to Jingzhou to attack it. However, the strength of Jingzhou is not weak and requires the cooperation of Marquis Wu." Du Xi sighed.

He also heard Cao Cao talk about Xu Du's situation. He didn't expect that Cao Cao would send two generals to Fancheng and Shangyong in a row. You should know that Cao Ren and Cao Chunke are the most elite cavalry under Cao Cao's command, and the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry. The whole Xu is now surprised by this matter.

"So it is." Sun Ce suddenly realized that he also knew that Xu Chu was killed. Originally, he wanted to discuss with Zhou Yu and Zhang Yu about how Cao Cao would deal with this matter, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao directly sent two generals to attack Jingzhou.

"I don't know if Wu Hou agreed to this?" Du Xi looked at Sun Ce and asked.

Sun Ce turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu and Zhou Yu. Seeing that both of them nodded, he said, "Sir, report to the emperor, that Jiangdong will rise up to attack Jingzhou in the future."

"Ha ha, in this case, I will report this matter to the emperor and say goodbye." Seeing Sun Ce's consent, the enemy attack was not surprised and directly got up.

"Sir, take your time." After Sun Ce sent Du Xi away, he looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "Gong Jin, I think this matter is a little strange. How could Cao Mengde attack Jingzhou at this time?"

"Master, this is just Cao Cao's strategy. I think the soldiers and horses sent by Cao Cao will only defend Fancheng and Shangyong and will not participate in this matter." Zhou Yu said.

"Oh, then why did you let me agree to this?" Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu in surprise. Two days ago, Zhou Yu tried his best to dissuade him from attacking Jingzhou, but today he agreed abnormally.

"Master, I think Cao Cao will definitely have a back hand. The rapid development of Jingzhou's power has attracted Cao Cao's attention. He will not only let Jiangdong attack Jingzhou. I think he may also persuade Jingnan's Wuxi and other aliens to attack Jingzhou. Maybe someone in Jingzhou has already turned to Cao Cao. This time, in order not to make Liu Qi make trouble behind his back, Cao Cao will definitely use all means to deal with Jingzhou. This is an opportunity, and Jingzhou is developing so fast that it is also the time to suppress Jingzhou. In the past, the power of Jiangdong alone was not enough to hurt Jingzhou, but this time with Cao Cao behind it, it is a good opportunity for Jiangdong. If you can take this opportunity to annex Jingzhou, the power of Jiangdong will definitely double several times, all the time. The problem of grain and fodder that plagues the master can also be solved. Zhou Yu explained.

"Yes, if the master, Liu Qi from Jingzhou, is ambitious, it is likely to threaten Jiangdong, and the lord should destroy it as soon as possible." Zhang Yu, who was beside him, also advised that he had seen the power of Liu Qi. This man was so sharp that he would report, and his means were extraordinary. If he was allowed to grow, Jiangdong would no longer have peace.

"In this case, take advantage of Jingzhou's failure to take control of the Dragon Army in Jiangxia." Hearing Zhou Yu's analysis, Sun Ce immediately became ambitious. His battle for food and fodder has been a big problem for years, and the wealth of Jingzhou made him greedy.

"Lord, although Jiangxia's Wenpin is extraordinary, if he divides the troops and blocks the flying dragon army all the way in Jiangxia city, and then the water and land to capture Jiangxia, he will completely annihilate the flying dragon army in one fell swoop, and then take Jingzhou with the momentum of victory." Zhou Yu's eyes were shining brightly, looking at Sun Ce Dao.

Without Cao Cao's support behind his back, Jingzhou can send reinforcements at any time, which can resist hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong. Moreover, the water army in Jingzhou is not weak, and you can dare to fight Jiangxia to support at any time. Now that Cao Cao is provoking behind his back, Jingzhou will definitely not be able to cope with it for a while. It is not impossible to take Jiang Xia and then take Jingzhou.

"Good! I, Sun Ce, can finally avenge my father. Sun Ce suddenly stood up with a crazy face and roared loudly. The hatred of killing his father is the driving force that has been urging him to fight in the south and the north. Otherwise, how could he be in his twenties strive to unify Jiangdong and dominate one side?
