Sun Jian and others were shocked after hearing this.
Jingzhou has always been an unspeakable pain for Sun Jian. When he was the governor of Changsha, he put down the rebellion in the four counties of Jingnan, which temporarily restored peace to the four counties of Jingnan.
However, as a meritorious person, he was not praised. Instead, he was severely reprimanded by Liu Biao, who accused him of disobeying orders and using troops privately.
Sun Jian had a knot in his heart from then on, which he kept hidden in his heart and never revealed to anyone.
Later, Cao Cao issued a message to attack Dong Zhuo. Sun Jian put the overall situation first and accepted Liu Biao's dispatch, sending five thousand troops to join the alliance. It was not until he met Gao Fei again that Gao Fei's words ignited his ambition to dominate the southeast.
Therefore, after Dong Zhuo's defeat, Sun Jian led his troops back to Changsha, packed up his troops, and directly launched an undeclared war against Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. He took the lead in occupying the Yuzhang County adjacent to Changsha, and then finally captured the six counties of Yangzhou after a series of attacks.
as a foundation.
However, he had always been grudged against Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and he also coveted Jingzhou. He had sent troops to attack Jiangxia many times, hoping to capture Jiangxia first and then capture Nanjun. However, he was repeatedly frustrated due to the inaction of the naval army, and finally had to form a confrontation.
"Liu Biao of Jingzhou has died and was replaced by Liu Bei. Liu Bei was from a humble background and was a straw sandal seller. He pretended to be a nobleman of the Han Dynasty and defrauded many people. Now Liu Bei has seemingly occupied the entire territory of Jingzhou, but in fact, Jingzhou is
There are mixed fish and snakes in the muddy water. As long as the army is united, Jingzhou will definitely fall into chaos." Gao Fei saw the expression on Sun Jian's face and took advantage of the situation to persuade him.
Sun Jian knew more about things in Jingzhou than Gao Fei. He understood the complicated situation in Jingzhou. The nobles in Jingxiang area would not attach themselves to a person from a poor background. Maybe it was just a temporary measure.
He slapped his thigh fiercely and said loudly: "Cheng Pu, you rush to Jianye at night and ask Zhang Zhao to prepare food, military pay, equipment, and assemble the army. I will personally send troops to Jiangxia."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers of Wu State present were all surprised. They felt that this incident happened too suddenly and caught them off guard.
Zhang Hong hurriedly leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, soldiers, as a major matter of the country, not to mention declaring war on Liu Bei, some preparations must be made first. Even if the order is issued, I believe that the Prime Minister will not be able to arrange food and fodder in a short period of time."
, military pay, and please the king to postpone the action pending long-term consideration."
"Soldiers need to be quick. If we wait until the dispatch is completed, I'm afraid Jingzhou has already taken precautions. If we go there again, it will be meaningless. This matter is settled like this, no more words. Cheng Pu, are you still standing there?
What are you doing, why don't you leave here quickly?" Sun Jian waved his hand, directly rejected all suggestions, and said boldly.
Gao Fei hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Wentai, wait a minute."
Sun Jian had strict requirements on his subordinates, but he could not restrain Gao Fei, who was his equal. He asked, "Dear brother, what do you have to say?"
Gao Fei nodded, looked around at the people in the hall, and said with a smile: "Brother Wentai, although soldiers are expensive and fast, if there are no good logistics supplies, what will your soldiers fighting on the front line eat and drink?"
What? Although I suggested that my brother attack Jingzhou, judging from the current situation
, there is no rush at the moment. If Brother Wentai really has the intention to capture Jingzhou, he should calm down and dispatch his troops at home with peace of mind. On the one hand, the Chu army should not be able to see anything, and on the other hand, he should
Start training the army and recharge your batteries so that you can fight without danger."
After hearing this, Zhang Hong hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Your Highness, what His Highness King Yan said makes sense, and I also mean the same thing."
Sun Jian sneered, looked at Gao Fei sideways, and asked: "Brother Xian, it's you who asked me to send troops to attack Liu Bei, and it's you who stopped me from sending troops to attack Liu Bei. What on earth are you going to do?"
Gao Fei chuckled and said, "Brother, I am doing this for your own good. As long as you can keep your composure and secretly train the army for half a year, after half a year, it will be like a sharp blade, piercing the hinterland of Jingzhou."
Zhang Hong said hurriedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I also have the same opinion as King Yan."
"Listen to people's advice and have a good meal. My brother is here to welcome me, so he should take me to visit the mountains and rivers of Wu and let me experience the folk customs of the south. I should not think about those troublesome things. Wait until I leave.
Well, it’s not too late for my brother to worry alone anymore." Gao Fei continued.
After hearing this, Sun Jian agreed in his heart. He said to Gao Fei: "With a good friend like my virtuous brother by my side, I, Sun Jian, will die without regrets."
Afterwards, Gao Fei and Sun Jian exchanged a few pleasantries, then looked around the hall and said deliberately: "Huh? Why can't you see Bo Fu?"
When he said this, Sun Jian really felt that his son and the generals of Ce Yu's army had not seen any of them.
"An assassin has appeared in Quacheng. It's such a big deal. With Bo Fu's character, he definitely can't sit still. But why didn't he see him? Does anyone know where he is now?" Sun Jian asked.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Zhang Hong and others all looked at each other, and they had no idea why Sun Ce didn't show up immediately.
Sun Jian took one look at everyone's expressions and said to Cheng Pu and Huang Gai: "You two go and see what happens."
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai said: "No!"
It was still late at night, and although the night sky outside was illuminated by fire, it could not resist the coming of sleep.
Sun Jian ordered people to arrange a room for Gao Fei and sent people to strictly guard Gao Fei.
Accompanied by Gan Ning and Wenpin, Gao Fei came to a small courtyard with a separate courtyard in the county government. Han Dang and his people were personally guarding the outside, and Gao Fei was personally escorting the inner courtyard.
In the hall, Gao Fei had just sat down, and before he had time to take a breath, he saw Ouyang Yinying walking in. He was happy, stood up hurriedly, and shouted: "Xiaoying, you came just in time. What happened today?"
, thank you so much. Otherwise, I will definitely die under Zhou Tai’s knife."
Ouyang Yinying looked at Gao Fei with an indifferent look on her face. She only leaned slightly and asked, "Is your Majesty now satisfied? In this way, Zhou Yu will definitely be jealous of Sun Ce.
We will definitely not be able to stay in the Kingdom of Wu any longer, so we will have no choice but to return to the Kingdom of Yan with the king."
Gao Fei knew why Ouyang Yinying was angry. When he just set sail, the decisive and cruel words he said completely broke Ouyang Yinying's heart, but he did not regret it. At least, doing this was better than hiding it all the time.
It's much better to be with Ouyang Yinying.
He waved his hands to Gan Ning and Wenpin and said, "You go down. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
Gan Ning and Wenpin agreed together and walked straight out of the hall. The two of them dispersed the entourage at the door, and they arrived at a position that was still a long way away from the hall.
"Sakura, to be honest, thank you very much for what happened today. You saved my life invisibly, so you and I are even." Gao Fei said slowly with a trace of guilt in his heart.
Ouyang Yinying said: "Don't worry, I will bring Zhou Yu back to the Kingdom of Yan as agreed. As long as you remember the condition you promised me, even if it is not enough to make Zhou Yu leave the Kingdom of Wu this time, I will after I stay."
There are more ways to make Zhou Yu leave."
"Alas! It seems that I can no longer regain the friendship between us as brothers and sisters."
"We are even. You saved me once, I saved you once, and no one owes anyone anything from now on. However, as the princess of Yan State, I will naturally think about Yan State and continue what you asked me to do.
matter."
Gao Fei shook his head and said: "Actually, I was just trying to provoke you that day, not sincerely. If you are willing, you can follow me and leave here."
"Now that I'm here, I won't leave so easily. I originally went to find Zhou Yu today, but I accidentally found Zhou Tai acting suspiciously. Then Zhou Yu came out with the generals of Ce Yu's army, and I hid in the dark.
, accidentally overheard the conversation between them, so I hurriedly came back to inform you."
"You did a good job. If you hadn't informed me of the news in advance, I wouldn't have taken advantage of it. Now, only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu can break up, and I also used the ecstasy formation on Sun Jian's side to make him have some influence on Liu Bei.
Be careful. Xiaoying, you have grown up a lot in the past few years. After tonight, you will know what will happen to Zhou Yu, but no matter what, from tomorrow on, you must take the initiative to approach Zhou Yu and make him fall in love with you."
"Don't worry, I will."
………………
Sun Ce sat in the room, glanced sideways at Zhou Tai, and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
Zhou Tai nodded solemnly and said: "I will never dare to tell lies. I heard these words from Gao Fei and Gan Ning with my own ears."
Sun Ce frowned, with a gloomy face, and asked: "Besides you, does anyone else know about this?"
"No, as soon as I left Wanxiang Tower, I went straight to the young master. I didn't pass anyone or come into contact with anyone." Zhou Tai replied.
"You did a good job. Now, go and invite Zhou Yu over. I want to ask him clearly in person," Sun Ce said.
Zhou Tai said "Promise", turned around and walked out of the room, looked up at the night sky, and said with emotion in his heart: "Commander, I hope I am wrong..."
Sun Ce sat in the room, motionless, recalling in his mind every detail after he and Zhou Yu got to know each other. At this moment, he suddenly heard about Zhou Yu's unknown side, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
After a while, Zhou Tai took Zhou Yu into Sun Ce's room.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit unusual. Zhou Yu looked around and saw only Sun Ce, Zhou Tai and himself. He gently shook the feather fan in his hand and asked with a smile: "Brother Bofu, why did you call me here?
?”
Sun Ce was silent for a moment and asked slowly: "Gong Jin, there is something I want to hear from you. I don't know if you are willing to say it."
"There are no secrets between you and me. What else is there to say? If you want to ask, just ask." Zhou Yu said nonchalantly.
