Yuan Shao had difficulty making a decision on Chen Gong's proposal, so he temporarily left Chen Gong outside, but summoned Tian Feng, Ju Sue, Shen Pei, Xu You, Guo Tu and others inside to discuss.
Tian Feng believed that he had just lost an elite group in the Battle of Chuanguo Jade Seal, and it was really beyond his power to start a war with Cao Cao at this time. Besides Gongsun Zan and Zang Hong, Han Sui never stopped, just in case.
When the time comes to stab him in the back, the situation will be difficult to control. Ju Sue, Shen Pei, and Guo Tu also basically agree with Tian Feng's opinion. Only Xu You insists that Cao Cao can be defeated. Xu You thinks that Cao Cao's army is currently in Xuchang, Yan
After the division of troops between Xuzhou and Xuzhou, it was very empty. Once Liu Bei captured Xuzhou, Cao Cao's army would attack Xuzhou, and it would be delayed. If the attack speed was fast enough, Cao Cao's rear Yanzhou would fall into the hands of Yuan Shao. Then while Xuchang was empty
, advance both ways, and can attack with one drum. At the same time, the army is in Yanzhou, and depending on the situation, if Cao Cao and Liu Bei both lose, they can also take the opportunity to capture Yuzhou and Xuzhou.
After listening to Xu You's words, Yuan Shao felt very entangled. He was also very tempted by the brilliant prospect Xu You mentioned. But he had always hoped to have a stable base in the rear. Although Cao Cao and Liu Bei's territories were attractive, they
Nowhere
It is not the place of the Four Wars. He simply does not have enough troops. If he cannot defend it, why take it? If he had a choice, he would rather destroy Gongsun Zan, Zang Hong and Han Sui first. At that time, with the territory of the Four States
When fighting for the world, you have greater control.
After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shao sighed: "If you move, you're afraid of working hard and getting no results; if you don't move, you're afraid of losing the opportunity. What can you do?"
At this time, Tian Feng said: "Our army only needs to march day and night, march quietly, and strictly block the news. In this way, before taking Yanzhou, Gongsun Zan, Zang Hong, and Han Sui will not have news for the time being, and they will not attack.
Our army has been defeated. And when Yanzhou is captured, our army will
It's okay to divide half of the troops back to defend Jizhou. If Qingzhou doesn't move, our army will go back to fight Gongsun Zan. If Qingzhou moves, Yanzhou's army will go directly to the east and capture Qingzhou. At that time, the whole army will go north, and our army will have no worries in the south.
Gongsun Zan and Han Sui will be easy to fight."
When Xu You saw that Tian Feng had changed his stance, he felt reassured and continued: "Cao Cao's chief counselor Xi Zhicai, chief commander Cao Ren, and the most powerful generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei have all fallen one after another. Now Cao Cao's strength has been greatly reduced.
This is the best time to attack Cao Cao. If he waits until he defeats Liu Bei and stabilizes the internal situation, our army will never have a chance again. Please be aware of this."
In fact, when Tian Feng changed his position and supported sending troops, the balance in Yuan Shao's mind had already tilted. When Xu You said this again, Yuan Shao immediately made a decision. So he ordered Jusao to appoint a road troop to guard Jizhou.
Personally led Tian Feng, Xu You, Guo Tu, Zhen Mi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Chunyu Qiong, Gao Gan, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others, as well as the troops of fifteen armies from three routes, to wipe out the black
Raise troops and attack Yanzhou.
Chen Gong was overjoyed to receive the reward, and immediately sent troops to Qingzhou and Youzhou. He also set up a large army and marched day and night, waiting to attack and destroy Jizhou. Among them, Qingzhou originally had two troops, and received one from Yuzhou, making a total of
Three road troops. In addition to Gong Jing, Kong Rong each had two troops, which was equivalent to the strength of four road troops. Chen Gong left a Yuzhou road army and Gong Jing, and Kong Rong's troops guarded Qingzhou.
The remaining two groups attacked Jizhou together. As for Gongsun Zan, there were originally five groups of troops, one of which was Baima Yicong. This time, a total of four groups were brought out, including Baima.
The Yi Cong Road Division is also on the list. The total number of troops attacking Jizhou is six. Even if Yuan Shao does not attack Yanzhou, these troops are enough for Yuan Shao to drink a pot. But now, the result is basically doomed.
On Sun Ce's side, Liu Bei's envoys also arrived at this time. Before attacking Xuzhou, Liu Bei had already sent Sun Qian as an envoy according to the plan to contact Sun Ce. When Sun Ce heard that Sun Qian was coming, Sun Ce did not see him first. Directly summon Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Gan Ning and others to discuss.
Lu Su spoke first: "Lord, this is an opportunity given to me by God. Liu Bei will definitely invite our army to enter Huainan. Once our army establishes a foothold in Huainan and joins forces with Liu Bei to defeat Cao Cao, with Liu Bei's strength, it is obvious that we cannot If you contend with us, then all the states in the Central Plains will be in the hands of the lord."
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Liu Bei has a belt edict to command the heroes. If the lord leads the army, he will be like Yuan Benchu at Hulao Pass, and Liu Bei will be like Cao Cao at that time. With the lord's army in hand, he will be the true leader of the Sun-Liu coalition. .And Liu Bei's army is very weak at this time. Once he captures Xuzhou, he must hand Huainan into the hands of his lord. Because Liu Bei understands that having his lord in charge of Huainan is like putting a knife beside Cao Cao's bed. I don't dare to touch him easily. At this time, Liu Bei has a request for our army, so he must be sincere. It's just that the lord needs to whet his appetite, and there will be as many benefits as he can get."
Sun Ce took a reassuring pill and immediately summoned Sun Qian. Sure enough, Sun Qian asked Sun Ce to send troops to Huainan. Sun Zhi thought to himself and wondered if it was fake: "Our army is getting ready to attack Jiaozhou Shixie, but we really can't send out troops. , I appreciate Mr. Xuande’s kindness.”
Sun Qian sighed: "Before leaving, my lord Xuande once told me that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is brave and unrivaled. The only thing he fears is Cao Cao, who once killed Lu Bu. Because Lu Bu is the best in the world, and he is only the second. .So Xuande Gong felt very uneasy, fearing that Sun Bofu would not dare to send troops. Now it seems that my lord's worry has unfortunately become a reality."
Sun Ce was furious, and Zhou Yu was even angrier than Sun Ce. The two of them were about to speak out, but unexpectedly Lu Su grabbed their sleeves. Lu Su whispered: "Don't fall for his provocation, ours The benefits haven’t come yet.”
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were shocked and immediately calmed down. Sun Ce rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "My late Duke Wen Taigong led my brother to fight against Dong Zhuo when he was in Japan. At that time, he met Cao Cao and Xuande Gong. At that time, both Cao Mengde and Xuande Gong thought highly of my brother Zhongmou, but they only praised me a little for the sake of my late father’s face. I heard that Cao Mengde and Xuande Gong once cooked wine with their childhood sweethearts and discussed the heroes of the world. , It’s just two dukes. Ce has no ancestor hero, not even his younger brother Zhongmou. Xuande Gong really knows me. But Ce also knows that things must be done. If Xuande Gong can inform Ce of the necessity of sending troops , even if Ce is afraid of Cao Cao, he will still send troops."
This time it was Sun Qian's turn to be surprised. He remembered that Liu Bei once said to him that there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the east of the Yangtze River. Sun Ce, especially the dragon and phoenix, can pick it up and put it down. Now it seems that this statement is true. I originally hoped to rely on the method of stimulating generals. Taking Sun Ce directly to Huainan, it seems that it is impossible without a little blood.
At that moment, Sun Qiandao said: "Sun Bofu is a hero in the world, who doesn't know it? I was joking before. Speaking of the necessity of sending troops, when I came, Xuande Gong once said that when Tao Qian owned Xuzhou, Guangling still belonged to Zhang Chao. Now Both of these two men are dead, but the precedent they set is still there. The Jiangdong navy is famous all over the world, but there is no transit port to the north. If Sun Boxu is willing to send troops, Guangling County, although small, should be enough to provide Jiangdong navy has also settled down. In addition, Duke Xuande also said that Sun Bofu is not a greedy person and should not promise him more things, lest he ruin his reputation."
As soon as Sun Qian said this, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and others were all moved. You must know that the Jiangdong Navy currently lacks a transit port. Once Guangling County is obtained, the situation will be different for Jiangdong. Sun Ce looked at everyone, and everyone nodded secretly. Then Sun Ce laughed: "Okay, since what Duke Xuande said is true, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and go to war with Cao Cao. Please tell Duke Xuande, what is he doing?" Give way to Huainan at any time, and my soldiers will come in at any time."
Sun Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "It is really a blessing for Mr. Xuande that Sun Bofu can do this. According to Mr. Xuande's wishes, it is best for Sun Bofu to send troops immediately. When Sun Bofu arrives in Huainan, Mr. Xuande will probably Already sitting in Xuzhou Prefectural Mufu's Mansion."
So Sun Ce led four of the Jiangdong Army's troops to march to Huainan, leaving only Sun Quan and Zhou Tai leading one of his troops to guard his home. All Sun's troops from one route's army also accompanied Sun Ce on the expedition.
What Sun Ce didn't know at this time was that the three divisions of the Jingzhou Army and the three divisions of the Jiaozhou Army had already set off by boat from Jiangxia and Nanhai respectively. Among them, the Jingzhou Army was traveling day and night, while the Jiaozhou Army was traveling day and night to attack Yangzhou. The Jingzhou Army's goal is north of the Yangtze River, and the Jiaozhou Army's goal is south of the Yangtze River.
But it was said that Sun Ce's army was crossing the Lujiang River and suddenly heard the news that Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to greet the army. Sun Ce heard that Liu Bei sent Guan Yu personally and hurriedly greeted him. Guan Yu entered the account and reported that Xuzhou had been captured and Cao Cao was sending troops. I hope Sun Ce can Traveling day and night, he quietly ambushed Cao Cao on the main road from Cao Cao to Xuzhou, striving to annihilate Cao Cao's army. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu nodded heavily. Sun Ce was not sure, so he looked again. Zhou Yu nodded again.
Sun Ce immediately said straightforwardly: "Since Mr. Xuande has this intention, of course I will serve. Please tell Mr. Xuande that I will travel day and night to ambush you. Huainan and Guangling will be taken over after Cao's thieves are defeated."
Guan Yu left happily. At this time, Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu. He only heard Zhou Yu say: "As the saying goes, it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away. Now that our army is here, Liu Bei is no longer controllable. So we don't need to rush to get it at this time. The good thing is that we must first focus on the future. This time when our lord marches into the Central Plains, Cao Cao is the biggest enemy. Once Cao Cao is defeated, it will not be a problem to capture Yanzhou and Xuchang, let alone Guangling in Huainan. Our army will set up an ambush on the road when Cao's army comes. This means that our army will be closest to Cao Cao's territory in the future. Even if Yuan Shao and others want to get involved in Cao Cao's territory, they will not be able to do so quickly. As for Liu Bei, Xuzhou and Yuzhou will be divided by us in the future. Which piece of him do we want at that time? Which piece do you want?"
Sun Ce sighed and said, "I am extremely lucky to have Gong Jin. Liu Bei suffers because he has no capable people, and Cao Cao's goal is too big. Since I have Gong Jin, my goal is not big. I can take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune." Hegemony."
Soon Sun Ce led his army to the destination and set up an ambush. Cao Cao's army was gradually advancing towards the ambush circle. At this time, our army from various states were also marching day and night, each moving closer to the designated position. General Yang's troops had already climbed up to the tiger's On the mountain peaks on both sides of Laoguan, just waiting for Cao Cao to enter the ambush circle, it was time for a full-scale battle.
At this time, the system started the plot war "Cao Liu's Second Battle of Xuzhou". The first was the player war. I once again used the opportunity of the player war to get two troops from Cao Shuai's troops for our army. Also That is to say, around the battlefield alone, the total strength of our army has reached four Cao Shuai troops. And I myself have the strength of four Jian Shuai troops. This brings me 18 army zombie soldiers + one road vampire + one Army Undead Swordsman + One Division Undead Archer + One Battalion Undead Mage + One Undead Assassin + One Undead Knight + One Bone Dragon + One Dark Black Dragon + One Team Fallen Angel. And all of them are NPC troops.
