"After enduring it for so long, I can finally let go and do something." Guo Jia said with excitement after handing Chen Xi's secret letter to Guan Yu. Guo Jia was full of resentment after being suppressed by Zhou Yu recently.
You must know that the dividing line between Liu Bei and Sun Ce was originally drawn by Fa Zhengli. It was based on the Huaihe River, with Liu Bei to the north of the Huaihe River and Sun Ce to the south of the Huaihe River. However, now that there is no navy to help, Zhou Yu can actually do it so easily.
The Huai River was blocked.
This was simply intolerable. Although Guo Jia admitted that he could not fight in the water and would faint when he got on the boat, being beaten like this was absolutely intolerable.
This is the Huai River. Although the Huai River in this section is a bit wide, it is not wider than five miles. As a result, Zhou Yu is blocking him here and suppressing him. Guo Jia feels resentful.
"Zichuan is here!" Guan Yu felt a little better. Although he was confident that he would never lose any ground, with Chen Xi's assistance and resistance to Cao Cao, he could free up his hands to attack the city and capture the territory.
.
"Send an order to Chen, the governor of Xuzhou, and ask him to be prepared to assist." After confirming the news, Guan Yu immediately ordered his boss next to him to write an official document.
Before Chen Xi arrived at the Yuzhou front line and Liu Bei's reinforcements had appeared, not only Cao Cao and Sun Ce responded, but Liu Bei's border areas also responded.
"Gong Jin, you're still drinking tea!" Sun Ce felt like he was about to grow mushrooms. Since Wenpin was transferred, Sun Ce and Guan Yu had another fight. Sun Ce was still no match for Guan Yu, but Sun Ce was still excited to death afterward.
, however Zhou Yu only created one opportunity for him.
"The tea made by Chen Zichuan is quite good." Zhou Yu said calmly, not taking Sun Ce's crazy look to heart at all. Anyway, Sun Ce said he wanted to have a fight before and he had achieved it. Before Sun Ce exploded,
He can still control the opponent.
Sun Ce stretched out his hand to pull a cushion from far away, and then sat down opposite Zhou Yu, "I said Gong Jin, aren't you bored like this all day? How about we deal with Guan Yu?"
"You can't beat Guan Yu." Zhou Yu half-squinted his eyes, holding the bottom of the cup with his left hand and holding the side of the cup with his right hand, not looking at Sun Ce at all.
"I didn't say I could defeat Guan Yu!" Sun Ce said with a stinky face. This was Zhou Yu. If anyone else said that, they would definitely get punched.
Zhou Yu slowly placed the tea cup on the counter, and pressed his temples with the index fingers of his left and right hands. He suddenly felt that he and Sun Ce had some communication difficulties recently. Sure enough, if you use your spiritual talent on others, it will lead to conflicts between yourself and Sun Ce.
Communication barriers.
"Come on, let's do it together. Look, Guan Yu's character is, to put it mildly, self-confident. To put it bluntly, he's actually very conceited. You see, we've tortured him so much that he hasn't even gone out to stay in the camp lately, right?" Zhou Yu looked calm.
Look at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce thought for a moment, and then nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, indicating that Guan Yu was indeed like this.
After Sun Ce agreed, Zhou Yu continued, "Look at Guo Jia, didn't you find that it's hard for me to take advantage of him?"
"Well, it seems that we can kill more than a hundred people at a time, right?" Sun Ce looked up at the roof of the tent, thought about it and said with a smile, "It feels like you have been suppressing him, but it is normal. In my impression, you
Except for the one time I suffered a loss from Fa Zheng, I didn't suffer any other time."
"It was an accident when Fazheng was there. I will return it one day." Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce and slowly turned his head and said, "Anyway, you are right. Until now, although we have not taken advantage of each other,
But the other side has been suffering losses."
"After all, Guo Jia is Liu Xuande's most capable and resourceful person. Not to mention other things, his mental and physical abilities are far superior to others. However, as long as he is a human being, he cannot be willing to suffer losses all the time, so if not other things, the other party will at least think about taking back all the advantages I have taken advantage of.
." Zhou Yu said calmly.
"I don't understand!" Sun Ce shook his head, saying that he didn't understand what this had to do with anything.
"It means that if you don't go to find Guan Yu on the opposite side, Guan Yu will be instigated by Guo Jia to come to you after he frees his hands." Zhou Yu said with a sigh. As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu felt that Sun Ce's eyes lit up.
"Gong Jin, you wish you had said no earlier!" Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu's left shoulder with excitement on his face, "Okay, I will gather my strength and prepare to deal with Guan Yu from today on."
After Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu on the left shoulder, he ran out of the tent holding his spear from the side. As before, he left military affairs to Zhou Yu to handle.
"Alas..." Zhou Yu looked helplessly at Sun Ce's leaving figure. He took out a few prepared pieces of paper from under the file on the side, then quickly wrote them, and ordered them to be sent to Huaiyin, ordering Li Yan, who was currently stationed in Huaiyin, to make a preemptive strike.
Prepare.
[Logically speaking, I have been taking action for so long and I still haven’t waited for Gan Ning. Could it be that the other party has seen through my thoughts?] Zhou Yuxu thought as he typed a few cases.
However, Zhou Yu quickly denied this possibility. It was not that Zhou Yu looked down on the civil servants and generals on Liu Bei's side, but that it didn't make much difference whether he saw through or not. It was impossible for Gan Ning to not attack if he saw through.
[That is to say, there are only two possibilities based on the current situation. One is that Gan Ning did not defend at Huai River at all, and the other possibility is that Gan Ning was a back-up man arranged by Guo Jia and did not take action.] Zhou Yu thought about everything silently.
possible.
Speaking of the Battle of Huai River, it is not important to Zhou Yu. It is said that it is to suppress Liu Bei's speed of destroying Yuan and not to look north with all his strength. But in fact, for Zhou Yu, the real intention of the Battle of Huai River is not at all in this aspect.
.
Whether it is to use offense instead of defense to make Cao Cao feel the pressure of death and coldness, and form a strategic ally; or to lay out Huaiyin and use Li Yan to suppress Gan and Ning;
The opportunity for Jiang Qin and others to create Pingjiao Prefecture was much more important to Sun Ce than the current battle against Guan Yu on the Huai River.
It can be said that Zhou Yu's focus is not on Guan Yu in Huaibei now. After all, Zhou Yu's side seems to have a large number of troops. In fact, Zhou Yu's own family knows his own affairs, and the troops here are actually not as large as Guan Yu's side.
However, due to the huge advantage of Zhou Yu's navy, which is always on the strategic offensive, and the military camps of both sides are across the Huaihe River, Zhou Yu can only send out 3,000 troops at a time. Up to now, Zhou Yu's number of troops can only be roughly guessed from the opposite camps.
come out.
Although Guo Jia also guessed that Zhou Yu did not have many troops, this did not make sense. There were many troops on the opposite side and few troops. As long as they were above the Huai River, they were destined to have no good solution.
However, Guo Jia is also a man of many schemes after all. Since he planned to plot against Zhou Yu early on, he then focused on how to cross the Huaihe River after roughly estimating the strength of his troops!
