Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, which angered all the princes loyal to the Han Dynasty, especially Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Bai Tu who were close to him. They immediately sent troops to attack him.
Even the princes of Guanzhong, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Shao of Hebei, and Liu Zhang of Bashu, who had nowhere to exert their efforts, all denounced him one after another!
However, at the beginning of Dazhong's establishment, although Yuan Shu was completely in trouble externally, internal momentum was at its peak.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops that can be called "elite soldiers", and there are even hundreds of gilded warriors!
For a time, Runan, Zhongli, and Guangling were all locked in a fierce battle. Liu Bei came to take advantage of the excitement, but before the two fortresses of Guangling and Zhongli, it was difficult to get past the thunder pool. Cao Cao seemed to have more victories than defeats, but he was unable to break through Ru in a short time.
The defensive line in the southern area.
In Wancheng, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also encountered difficulties one after another after entering the city...
"Bo Fu, look at Gong Jin and his little sister, their relationship is still so good!"
"Yes, when Gongjin sees someone he likes, he likes to rub the red dot between his eyebrows... I've discovered it a long time ago."
Sun Ce and a girl who was equally beautiful but more dignified looked at Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao who were "flirting" in the pavilion - the woman who played the piano that night.
And next to Sun Ce is naturally Xiao Qiao's sister Da Qiao...
Because he couldn't stand Xiao Qiao's trampling on the music, Zhou Yu couldn't help but teach him. Xiao Qiao believed that Zhou Yu had "ulterior motives" and must have come up with such a lame reason to get close to him for the sake of his cute and beautiful self.
.
However, when it came to Xiao Qiao's temptation, Zhou Yu acted as if he really wanted to teach him how to play the piano. Even to his sworn brother and Mr. Qiao, he said this without any pretense.
Xiao Qiao felt that this was a war!
It was a war that he had to make Zhou Yu willingly admit that he was "motivated by sex", so... he pretended to cooperate in learning the piano, but in fact it was all to create a loophole for Zhou Yu to reveal his secrets.
"The same goes for Xiao Qiao! If she really hates Gong Jin so much, why would she study piano with Gong Jin every day?" Da Qiao covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It must be very troublesome to have such a sister, right?" Sun Ce smiled as warmly as jade.
When Da Qiao saw this, his face turned red and he lowered his head and said, "Can Bo Fu also understand?"
"Of course I understand, I also have a troublesome younger brother!" Sun Ce thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and said: "Probably... this high." As he spoke, his palm gently touched Da Qiao's forehead.
"Ugh!" Da Qiao made a nervous voice.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Sun Ce said quickly.
"No, it's nothing..."
Da Qiao had just finished speaking, and Sun Ce had already taken advantage of the situation to help Da Qiao start from his forehead, straighten his temples, and spread his long hair behind his shoulders.
Great foolishness is like wisdom? Great wisdom is like foolishness?
Sun Ersi, hiding his merit and fame!
…
In May of the second year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao and Liu Bei repeatedly failed to defeat Yuan, they sent envoys to Bai Tu to ask for help.
When they thought Yuan Shu was already a soft persimmon, that's not what they said...
Bai Tu didn't expect that Yuan Shu would be so fierce. It seems that the founding of the country was not founded in vain!
Facing the envoys from the imperial court and Xuzhou Mu, Bai Tu let the Ministry of Rites delay him for half a month. The envoys finally met Mr. Zhou Mu, and Bai Tu also practiced Tai Chi. In short...
"What you two don't know is that although Wancheng has been conquered, the enemy is cunning. My second brother and third brother are now trapped in it and cannot escape! If we forcefully evacuate Wancheng, I'm afraid it will cause chaos... Of course, I have already
We have sent an order to the garrison in Wancheng to try to harass the Zhongjun in the Jia Shi Road area and try to share some of the pressure." Bai Tu said very sincerely.
"Mr. Bai, Yuan Shu is now concentrating his forces on Runan and Jiujiang, so my lord and Prime Minister Cao cannot advance even an inch. As long as Mr. Bai sends a brigade of troops to seek the sun and go up, he will be able to conquer Lujiang and even Jiangxia..."
"Jian Yong wanted to persuade him again.
However, Bai Tu decided: "No! Although Lu Mian is willing to be Yuan Shu's pawn, he is still pretty good at dealing with the people... Besides, I am a Yangzhou herdsman, not a Jingzhou herdsman, so how can I be unable to attack him?"
Parts of the northern part of Jiangxia are now in the hands of Yuan Shu, including Qichun, north of Xunyang.
However, Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, was only under Liu Biao's command in name only, and usually listened to orders but not propaganda. At this time, Liu Biao was naturally more concerned about the four counties in Jingnan than helping Huang Zu conquer the lost territory of Jiangxia.
Bai Tu deliberately pretended to be pedantic and kept the fat on his lips for some "inexplicable" reasons, which really gave Jian Yong and Liu Ye sent by Cao Cao a headache.
If it was before, the two of them would have wished that Bai Tu would not come out to share the cake, but now... they need Bai Tu to take action!
"Mr. Bai, you are helping the Han Dynasty by saving Yangzhou. Naturally, you are helping the Han Dynasty by saving Jingzhou! As long as Prime Minister Cao makes a move... ahem, write to the emperor and make you a general of chariots and cavalry, no one will think twice about it.
Four." Liu Ye persuaded.
Cao Cao had previously given him some authority to "act expediently", and Liu Ye also made proper use of his authority at this time.
"General Chariot and Cavalry...Well, if that's the case, as long as the people of Jiangxia, Guangling, and Runan are willing, I can admit more of my responsibility to help the Han Dynasty." Bai Tuwei said honestly.
However, upon hearing this, Jian Yong and Liu Ye were startled.
Jian Yong thought that Bai Tu was really persuaded by the "General of Chariots and Cavalry". While he was a little disillusioned, he immediately added: "Mr. Bai, the people of Jiangxia are all looking forward to your righteous army!"
As for Guangling... Jian Yong thinks that he should leave it to his lord's righteous teacher!
Why did he mention Guangling and Runan? Could it be that he also had thoughts about Xuzhou and Yuzhou? Jian Yong became wary, and Liu Ye also thought to himself: So Bai Tu has such a big appetite? Could it be that Military Advisor Guo is worried...
"No, if the people have a desire, they will naturally open the door to welcome them. I can't even do this...my virtues and governance are not enough, so how can I retaliate with swords?" Bai Tu said righteously.
Jian Yong, Liu Ye:......
Taking back my previous thoughts, this guy is still the same pedantic Bai Tu!
Ambition? Daydreaming is more than enough!
The people took the initiative to open the city to welcome you... Do you want Liu Xie to take the initiative to surrender to you?
Maybe it was Bai Tu's reticent attitude that made the two feel unable to persuade them, or maybe... Bai Tu mentioned Runan and Guangling, which made the two feel a little uneasy for their own family, and began to worry that Bai Tu would fight.
The troops were strong and the horses were strong, and they could eat and occupy more, so there was no further persuasion.
After all, in the eyes of Liu Ye and Jian Yong, although continuing to fight will cause more damage and take longer, they can still win in the end!
However, before the two of them left, Bai Tu emphasized to Liu Ye: "I am ashamed to accept the post of General of Chariots and Cavalry, but... in order to help the Han Dynasty, I have to be ashamed to accept it!"
Liu Ye:......
After a mission, no other results were seen. Originally, Cao Cao wanted to give Yuan Shao the title of "Chariot and Cavalry General" to appease his old friend, but he was promised to Baitu...
