Chapter 1210 Analysis of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu
When Liu Yu was about to return to Luoyang, Jiangdong was panicked about Liu Yu taking over Yuzhou.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have been observing Liu Jun's movements, preparing to wait until Liu Jun and Cao Jun fight to the death before they can get a share of the pie.
But the actual situation made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu dare not move.
As the battle progressed, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu discovered that the two troops of Liu Jun Zhuge Liang's army and Sima Yi's army were still inactive. The most important thing was that the two troops of their total number were more than 100,000. So many troops did not participate in the attack on Shouchun, but instead held troops in southern Yuzhou. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu thought about it and knew that the intention was to guard against them.
The most fatal blow to Liu Jun was to use unexpected sneak attacks, but facing more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, Jiangdong's sneak attack became a joke. Jiangdong's only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the most powerful troops were, and it was not an elite one.
Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had the intention of defending Sun Ce in southern Yuzhou before.
Sun Ce, known as the Little Overlord, had to be guarded against.
Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were ready to have Sun Ce attacked him in his pocket, but unfortunately Sun Ce did not take action at all.
This is Zhou Yu's credit.
Zhou Yu advised Sun Ce not to act rashly, so as not to fall into other people's plans. Sun Ce really wanted to get a share of the pie, but due to his lack of strength, he could only watch Cao Cao's Yuzhou annexed by Liu Yu.
There was nothing that Sun Ce dared not do, but Zhou Yu tried hard to persuade him, so Sun Ce had to give up.
In Sun Ce's mind, with Cao Cao's strength, Liu Jun would not be able to completely take over Yuzhou in less than two or three years. And this period is a precious time for Jiangdong to restore his strength.
Zhou Yu's idea is more realistic. Jiangdong is currently gathering strength. Lu Xun led his troops to expand space for Jiangdong in the south. In just three years, Jiangdong will be enough to protect himself and there is no need to act according to Liu Yu's expression.
Reality is always cruel. Cao Cao did not fight Liu Jun to the end as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu thought, but unexpectedly chose to surrender, or surrendered with a large amount of strength. More importantly, Liu Yu, the Emperor Shenwu who had always thought he was in the center of Luoyang, actually appeared in Shouchun. Cao Cao surrendered to Liu Yu.
Upon receiving this news, Sun Ce felt something was wrong and hurriedly called Zhou Yu to discuss the major event.
Zhou Yu had just received the news and hurried to Sun Ce's side.
"Gongjin is not good! Cao Cao is defeated and surrenders to Liu Yu!" Sun Ce has always been unaware of Mount Tai collapse, and now he has lost his composure.
Zhou Yu persuaded: "Don't panic, Bo Fu, you are the lord of Jiangdong!"
After receiving Zhou Yu's reminder, Sun Ce calmed down a little.
The two entered the study and began to discuss major events.
Sun Ce said worriedly: "I really didn't expect Liu Yu to arrive in Yuzhou in person, and Cao Cao surrendered so quickly. Gongjin, I am in danger in Jiangdong."
Zhou Yu did not answer Sun Ce's words, but just drank tea lightly.
Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yu was thinking of a plan, so he didn't say anything to disturb him.
After a long time, Zhou Yu put down the teacup and said in praise: "This tea is really good today. If you have some Bofu, can you let me take some home?"
"When is it? Are you still talking about tea!?" Sun Ce was speechless.
Zhou Yu said very casually: "Why do Bo Fu panic? You must know that even if you are impatient, you cannot change the fact that Cao Cao surrenders to Liu Yu. It is better to calm down and consider the countermeasures carefully."
Sun Ce was scolded by Zhou Yu and found that he was still really impatient. The more impatient he was, the more chaotic his mind became. If this continues, Sun Ce could only waste his time.
"Gongjin said so much! But my heart couldn't calm down. You must know that now there is a huge difference between our plan and Cao Cao surrendered so quickly. Jiangdong would encounter Liu's attack at any time. And my Jiangdong has not yet recovered, and some of the troops were also taken to the south by Bo Yan. If the Liu army is over, the situation in Jiangdong will be very dangerous!" Sun Ce was still worried.
It is absolutely normal for Sun Ce to be so impatient. So many Liu's army gathered in Yuzhou. If Liu Yu had a thrust his brain and directly attacked Jiangdong, Sun Ce would not know whether he could defend it.
Zhou Yu said analytically: "Liu Jun takes the initiative, and with Liu Yu's character, he will most likely send troops. I, Jiangdong, must be fully prepared."
"Gongjin, I knew you had a way, please tell me quickly." Sun Ce said impatiently.
"Faced with such a situation, first of all, Bo Fu, you need to unite the entire Jiangdong and strengthen the surveillance of all the aristocratic families in Jiangdong." Zhou Yu said viciously.
Sun Ce deeply agreed that the Jiangdong family was deeply rooted and sometimes they would resist his lord. As a little overlord, Sun Ce could not tolerate such things happening constantly and decisively picked up the butcher knife. Faced with the butcher knife raised by Sun Ce, the Jiangdong family decisively became a turtle with a head-shrinking attitude, completely posing as if they were accepting the blow and punishment, but they would never admit that they were not loyal to Sun Ce. This made Sun Ce feel as if he had hit a cotton ball, which was very uncomfortable.
After many defeats, Sun Ce also found that his internal problems were very serious, so he followed Zhou Yu's advice and established his own surveillance agency, which was composed of all the children of the Sun family and did not have an outsider.
"If there is any abnormal movement, you can kill without mercy! But it is done quietly!" Zhou Yu reminded.
Sun Ce nodded after hearing this. He just had to be more ruthless when dealing with such a person, otherwise the entire Jiangdong would fall into Liu Yu's hands.
"Secondly, all the warships of our army are ready and ready to fight at all times! With Gan Ning and Lu Meng as the main generals, they are divided into two armies in the north and south to defend the river water defense. In addition, a large number of spies were sent to Yuzhou to monitor the movements of Yuzhou." Zhou Yu continued.
Sun Ce said in confusion: "Lu Meng? Will he be too young? Why don't you let Ziyi go!"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Bo Fu, Ziming is a little younger. But after the last war, I found that this son has the talent of a wise general. What he needs is opportunities and gives him the opportunity to grow. If I have always used the old general in Jiangdong, then the talents in Jiangdong would have withered. Moreover, Ziyi was seriously ill and could not fight."
"What? Ziyi is seriously ill? Why no one comes to report it?!" Sun Ce and Taishi Ci had a good relationship. When Taishi Ci was sick, no one informed him, so he was shocked.
Zhou Yu said, "It's not that I'm deceiving you. It's that Ziyi hides it from everyone. It was when I went to find Ziyi that I found out that Ziyi was seriously ill."
Sun Ce hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Ziyi? Is there any treatment for the doctor? No, I still have to go and see it myself."
Among all the military generals in Jiangdong, Taishici and Sun Ce were about the same age, had similar martial arts skills, and even had a little bit better than Sun Ce. The two were the kind who didn't fight and knew each other, and Taishici was absolutely loyal to Sun Ce and had never objected to all Sun Ce's orders. This time, Taishici was sick because Taishici had been living in a bitter and cold place, and lived in poverty. It might not be much when they were young, but the years of war, the major and minor injuries finally made Taishici's body unable to bear it and finally fell ill.
Taishici knew that Sun Ce was already worried enough and was worried that Sun Ce would be distracted by his affairs, so he warned people around him not to tell Sun Ce. Taishici himself is a simple person. Generally, if he is fine, he will be in his own home. Many people don’t know about Taishici.
"Bo Fu, don't worry. I have arranged the best doctor to see Ziyi's affairs. Ziyi's health is not a big problem. It is a disease accumulated over the years, so just rest well." Zhou Yu didn't want Sun Ce to worry about Taishi Ci.
There are some things that you can only know as the master of the human race, and there is no need to do everything yourself. This is Zhou Yu’s idea.
But Sun Ce is different. He is not the kind of cold-blooded lord. He only knows that Taishi Ci and him are friends of life and death, so he said: "Ziyi is born and died many times. Now he is seriously ill in bed. I don't go to visit him in person. I feel uneasy."
Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce's character of valuing affection and righteousness was so he could only remain silent. Sun Ce's success was because of his emphasis on love and righteousness, and his future defeat may be because of this.
He was worried about Taishi Ci, and Sun Ce wanted to visit him immediately, but major issues were the priority, so Sun Ce continued to discuss related matters with Zhou Yu.
"Gongjin, that guy Liu Yu is in Shouchun. When do you think he will attack Jiangdong??" Sun Ce continued to ask.
"I think that before the autumn harvest next year, the Liu army in Yuzhou will not attack Jiangdong. Although Cao Cao surrendered to Liu Yu relatively early, after all, after all, after experiencing a great war, the people's livelihood in Yuzhou will definitely wither. Restoring the people's livelihood in Yuzhou is the first priority in front of Liu Yu. Although Liu Yu has a huge power and has such a large territory, he has many places to defend. In order to annex Yuzhou, Liu Yu used almost all his troops, and the food and grass were consumed countless times. If I were Liu Yu, I would never have sent troops to Jiangdong at this time." Zhou Yu said calmly.
"That's right, but if Liu Yu uses a move to repair the plank road and secretly travel to Chencang, my Jiangdong will be in danger." Sun Ce said worriedly.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "This is also the arrangements I just mentioned. If Liu Yu sends troops to Jiangdong, I can't afford to take advantage of it. If Liu Yu's army goes south and our army can defeat him, then Liu Yu will not be able to make any plans for Jiangdong within ten years."
"Gongjin, do you have any plans?" Sun Ce's eyes showed gleam. He heard from Zhou Yu's words that Zhou Yu seemed to be looking forward to Liu Yu's army going south.
Zhou Yu said confidently: "I am the east of the Yangtze River and the iron chain of the Yangtze River! Elite naval warships are rampant with the Yangtze River. Liu Jun wants to cross the Yangtze River as if he is dreaming. Yuzhou is exhausted, Yanzhou and Xuzhou provide a large amount of food and grass for the previous Liu Jun. It is impossible to provide more food and grass. So..."
Sun Ce understood what Zhou Yu meant on the spot and said with a smile: "So Liu Jun can only transport food and grass from Jingzhou, so he gave me a chance to Jiangdong. If I plan properly in Jiangdong, then Liu Jun will give me some food and grass supplies to Jiangdong for free for the purpose of restoring Jiangdong."
"Bo Fu is wise!" Zhou Yu bowed and said.
"It seems that whether Liu Yu is fighting or not, I, Jiangdong, are not afraid! Then there is nothing to worry about." Sun Ce finally smiled on his face.
Zhou Yu nodded, but thought in his heart that Jiangdong could only stick to it, and the initiative was all on Liu Yu's side, and he could not cause more trouble for Liu Yu.
"Gongjin, how is Boyan's progress?" Sun Ce began to care about Lu Xun's southward march.
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "I just received Bo Yan's battle report today and everything went well."
Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction. As long as Lu Xun's southbound plan is successful, Jiangdong's space will become wider and stronger. In the future, Sun Ce will have more chances of winning against Liu Yu.
"Okay! I won't talk about it for now. I'll go and visit Ziyi first." Sun Ce thought for a while and said, "Gongjin, I'll leave everything to you for dealing with Liu Yu."
After Jiangdong did not have a big threat, Sun Ce would become the boss again.
Zhou Yu said with a wry smile: "Bo Fu, you are the lord of Jiangdong, how can you do this?"
"You are also the Grand Commander of Jiangdong. There are too many things I have to deal with every day. You can't do more for me, brothers? For Jiangdong, you must carry this task." Sun Ceyu said earnestly.
"I obey the order." What else can Zhou Yu do? Sun Ce is the kind of person who doesn't care much about details. As long as the result is, Zhou Yu has committed evil in his previous life and met Sun Ce.
After Sun Ce handed over the matter to Zhou Yu, he walked towards Taishi Ci's home with gifts of condolences.
Zhou Yu returned to his office and personally drafted a notice of government decrees to appease the entire Jiangdong.
Of course, there are also the strategies that Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce before, and they have all begun to be implemented.
Gan Ning and Lu Meng followed Zhou Yu's orders and each brought 10,000 naval troops and arranged them at both ends of the Yangtze River defense line in Jiangdong. Both of them knew the burden on their shoulders and did not dare to be careless for a moment.
To put it another way, Lu Meng is considered Sun Quan's person. According to principles, if Zhou Yu wants to call Lu Meng, he must obtain Sun Quan's consent. However, Zhou Yu did not, and directly issued an order to Lu Meng. The meaning of it is very profound.
After Sun Quan found out, he asked Lu Meng to act according to Zhou Yu's orders without any hesitation, and told Lu Meng that if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's orders are in the future, he would not have to pass him.
Sun Quan felt a little uncomfortable, but the overall situation was the most important.
The situation in Jiangdong is still stable. The Jiangdong family dared not make any changes. They learned about the situation in Yuzhou from their own channels and understood that if they took action at this time, Sun Ce's people would probably visit and take them to the vegetable market.
Jiangdong is in a state of light and looseness and tightness at this time.
Zhou Yu grasped the overall situation and steadily grasped the situation in Jiangdong.
Sun Ce talked about life with Taishi Ci at Taishi Ci's home, and was very relaxed.
It is really a lucky brother who can help.
