After Zhuge Jin finished speaking, Sun Ce was very displeased and said coldly. ()

"It's just what a villager in the mountains can do!? My brother Gong Jin has a lot of strategies, and he can come up with it at his fingertips. Anyone who has a strategy can determine the overall situation and win a victory thousands of miles away. Everyone in the world knows Gong Jin's wisdom, praise him It is number one in the world! I have Gongjin sitting in Jiangdong, why should I be afraid of Zhuge Kongming!"

Sun Ce shouted Zhuge Jin back, but Zhuge Jin stopped talking, but seeing Sun Ce's eyes were cold, so he didn't dare to say any more, and sat back at the table.Zhou Yu bowed to Zhuge Jin and said softly.

"Ziyu has never been a boastful person. Presumably his younger brother Zhuge Kongming must have some advantages. If there is a chance, Yu will definitely ask him for advice!"

At this time Zhou Yu showed his calmness and generosity, and Zhuge Jin hurriedly saluted and replied.

"The Metropolitan Governor is an outstanding person in the world, how can Kong Ming have the ability to teach the Metropolitan Governor. If Jin made a slip of the tongue before, I hope the Metropolitan Governor will not be surprised."

Zhou Yu smiled lightly, and then turned to remonstrate with Sun Ce.

"My lord, if you want to send troops to Jingzhou, don't be in a hurry. According to Yu's prediction, Cai Degui will be defeated by Liu Xuande. When he is desperate, he will send a letter to ask for help from Jiangdong. Right now, Cai Degui is supporting Liu Cong, the second son of Jingzhou. Lord, Liu Xuande wants to assist Jingzhou's eldest son Liu Qi to ascend the throne of Jingzhou. At that time, the master Mingli can march into Jingzhou under the banner of assisting Liu Cong. It's for the best policy!"

After Zhang Zhao heard what he said, he immediately retorted.

"If war in Jingzhou is certain, and Cao Cao sends troops to kill him, so what?"

Zhou Yu thought about it a long time ago, so he replied.

"In the battle of Jingzhou, we first used Cai's soldiers and horses as the vanguard to resist Liu Bei. As for our Jiangdong soldiers and horses, we secretly took the four counties of Nanjun, Guiyang, Changsha, and Jiangxia. First, we can march to help at any time. As for the rest of the counties and counties in Jingzhou, they all rely on the Central Plains and Yizhou where things are wrong, and let Liu Xuande seize them first. If Cao Cao pacifies the northwest and wants to march south, he must attack Liu Bei first. At that time When Cao and Liu go to war, our army can sneak attack from behind and divide the land of Jingzhou. Liu Bei is attacked by the enemy, even if he is assisted by Zhuge Liang, he will be powerless. Year after year of battles, the soldiers are exhausted, and the food and grass are exhausted. Within four or five years, they will never dare to fight with me in Jiangdong. According to this, my lord has gained half of Jingzhou, and his power has greatly increased. While Cao Cao is recuperating, he will vigorously Recruit troops, buy horses, train soldiers, recharge your stamina, wait for the battle with Cao Cao, and conquer the world in one battle!"

Zhou Yu's words were astonishing, and after the words fell, the hall couldn't stop exclaiming.Zhang Zhao's eyes also flashed with astonishment, secretly paying attention to Zhou Gongjin's strategy, which was unpredictable.

"It turns out that the governor has thought it over for a long time. If the governor's plan is followed, my lord's emperor's hegemony can be achieved!"

Zhang Zhao respectfully cupped his hands and bowed, no longer worried, and retreated to the table.Sun Ce's tiger eyes were full of joy, and he laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha!!! My younger brother Gongjin is worthy of being the most wise man in the world. With your help, don't you worry about my Sun family not being able to rule the world!!!"

Zhou Yu's plan was settled, Sun Ce acted according to the plan, and waited patiently. At the same time, he gathered [-] elite soldiers in Yuzhang. Zhou Tai, Huang Zu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, Xu Sheng and other generals were all deployed to Yuzhang. Chapter, ready to fight. ** Then ordered Lu Su and Lu Ji to be responsible for the preparation and transportation of grain, supplies, armaments and other materials.

About half a month later, everything was as Zhou Yu expected. Liu Bei defeated Cai Mao. Within half a month, Cai Mao not only suffered heavy losses in troops and horses, but also lost Xiangyang, Wuling, Jiangxia and other counties.The person Sun Ce had been waiting for finally came to Jiangdong Wuhui.

But it is said that Deng Yi went to Jiangdong according to Cai Mao's order.Sun Ce learned of Deng Yi's arrival from Jingzhou's detailed report, and according to Zhou Yu's words, he made some arrangements first.

Deng Yi led his servants across the river on horseback and had just entered the Jiangdong Ferry when he suddenly saw a group of army horses, about five hundred riders. Seeing that their armor was serving them, they were soldiers from Jiangdong. asked.

"Could it be that General Deng, the general under the command of Duke Cai of Jingzhou, came here?"

Deng Yi was very surprised, he had not informed Sun Ce of his trip to Jiangdong yet, why would there be a Jiangdong army waiting long ago.Deng Yi's expression froze, and he answered with cupped hands.

"Of course! I don't know the name of the general?"

Hearing this, the general dismounted in a hurry and said in a low voice.

"I am Ding Fengye, a general of the Sun family. The governor of my family knew that there would be noble people coming. The young general is waiting here."

Hearing this, Deng Yi's heart was agitated, he secretly sighed that Zhou Gongjin had not expected the prophet, if he was a god, he didn't dare to make mistakes, so he hurriedly got off his horse and replied.

"I heard that Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Jiangdong, is the most wise man in the world. Today, Zhou Gong had already expected Deng to go, and he made arrangements first. He is really a genius."

Ding Feng nodded slightly and said.

"General Deng traveled a long distance, galloping on a pommel horse, and the governor ordered Ding Feng to chat and serve wine and food."

After saying that, the sergeant knelt down and served wine and food, and Ding Fengjing entered.Deng Yi was overjoyed, so he drank several cups with Ding Feng and got on his horse to walk together.When I came to the realm of Wuhui, it was late at night. I went to the post house and saw more than a hundred people standing outside the post gate, beating drums to meet each other.One will salute in front of the horse.

"According to the order of the governor general, I traveled a long distance for General Deng, and ordered Pan to sweep the post yard to wait for the rest."

The general who spoke was none other than Sun Ce's subordinate Pan Zhang.Deng Yi got off his horse in a hurry, returned the gift, and entered the building together with Ding Feng and Pan Zhang.Talk about etiquette and sit down.After a while, they lined up for a banquet, and the two persuaded each other attentively.After drinking until late at night, I stopped the banquet and stayed overnight.Before Deng Yi went to sleep, he thought to himself that Sun Ce treated him so courteously because he was a Ming lord. Now Cai Mao has been defeated by Liu Bei one after another.It's better to secretly vote under Sun Ce's command.

Deng Yi thought about it, so he went to bed.After breakfast the next day, I got on the horse and traveled less than three or five miles, only a group of people arrived.It was Sun Ce who led Zhou Yu and came to pick him up in person.Seeing Deng Yi coming from afar, he dismounted earlier and waited.Deng Yi also hastily got off his horse to meet each other, his eyes were dark and he looked at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Seeing that Sun Ce had a burly body, he was full of domineering, Kong Wu was so powerful that he seemed to be able to tear the sky with his hands, he was really the reincarnation of the overlord.Looking at Zhou Yu again, he is extremely handsome, so beautiful that even if he is a beauty who can overwhelm the country, he is also eclipsed, his eyes are focused, and he seems to have infinite wisdom, and that faint smile gives people an inexplicable surprise, as if everything in the world in its expectation.

Seeing that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were so good, Deng Yi became more certain of his congeniality.

"General Deng traveled a long distance to come to Jiangdong. If Sun has insufficient hospitality, I hope General Deng will forgive me."

Sun Ce smiled brightly, his voice was loud, Deng Yi felt a bit ashamed in front of him, and immediately bowed his body to salute, expressing his respect.Sun Ce was overjoyed and invited Deng Yi to enter the city. Deng Yi got on his horse and rode into the city together with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.In the hall of the mansion, each narrates the ceremony, divides the guests and hosts to sit in turn, and hosts a banquet.While drinking, Sun Ce only talked gossip and did not mention the Jingzhou matter.Deng Yi had something on his mind, he was secretly anxious, and challenged him with words.

"Now Marquis Wu is guarding Jiangdong, Yang, and Jiao prefectures. The land is vast and powerful, and his power is powerful in the south. But in recent years, I heard that Marquis Wu suddenly stopped raising his troops and only trained soldiers and horses, but there was no movement. It is a time of troubled times, and the court is fatuous. The Son of Heaven is controlled by thieves, the society collapses, and the country will lose the country. The big man should take advantage of the situation to rise up and make great achievements. I have heard that Marquis Wu is a hero in the world, and he is known as the little overlord. Why don't Marquis Wu follow the example of Xiang Ji, the overlord of Western Chu, and gather in Jing Fighting generals, calm down the world!?"

In recent years, Cao Cao has been trying to appease the Sun family in Jiangdong.Sun Ce was granted the title of Grand General of Chariots and Marquis of Wu.Hearing this, Sun Ce's eyes suddenly shone brightly. For a long time, in Sun Ce's heart, Sun Ce admired Xiang Ji, the Overlord of Western Chu, more than Han Gaozu Liu Bang.After all, Xiang Ji is from Jiangdong, and Sun Ce's temperament is very similar to Xiang Ji's.Deng Yi saw that Sun Ce's eyes were full of lust, and he was happy, but Zhou Yu who was beside him said with a smile.

"My lord is able to rule the country with martial arts. He is powerful in the east of the Yangtze River. The rewards and punishments are right. The generals are sincere and obedient. What's more, they are sympathetic to their subordinates and love the people. According to Yu, the achievements in the future will surely surpass those of Xiang Ji. Right now I Jiangdong rests, my Lord has a deep meaning. Besides, this is my Jiangdong matter, so there is no need to worry about General Deng."

When Deng Yi heard this, his expression froze, and he spoke immediately.

"Duke Zhou's words are wrong. The world is in chaos, and the people hope that the chaos will end soon and welcome a peaceful and prosperous age. If Marquis Wu wants to stabilize the world, why not make plans early to save the people of the world from the fire!"

Seeing the change in Deng Yi's expression, Zhou Yu secretly rejoiced, and said again with a slight smile.

"Hehe. It seems that General Deng has a lot of respect for Marquis Wu. It's a pity that General Deng was under someone else's command and failed to serve Marquis Wu. If Marquis Wu can get General Deng, a righteous man who cares about the people of the world, Why don't you worry that something big will not happen?"

Deng Yihao gritted his teeth, knelt down in attendance, took out Cai Mao's letter from his sleeve, and told Cai Mao that he would dedicate Jingzhou to him.Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were not surprised at all.Sun Ce received the letter and watched it, and handed it to Zhou Yu after reading it.After Zhou Yu watched it, he said with a smile.

"Cai Degui wants to offer Jingzhou to me in Jiangdong. I'm afraid it's not what it looks like, and if the chaos in Jingzhou is certain, Cai Degui will cross the river and demolish the bridge!"

When Deng Yi heard this, he felt a huge wave in his heart. Cai Mao really had this intention, but it seemed that he couldn't hide it from Zhou Yu.Deng Yi secretly paid in his heart, Cai Mao was poor at the moment, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both admired him, and they must be valued by others if they voted under his command.What's more, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's monarchs and ministers complement each other, and it is very possible to win the world!

After Deng Yi thought about it, he said.

"Jingzhou is a place that must be contested by military strategists. It is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. The people are prosperous and the country is rich. The wise men have long admired the prestige of Marquis Wu. If Marquis Wu is willing to raise up the people from the east of the river, drive the north finger, and capture Jingzhou, hegemony can be achieved, and the Han Dynasty can prosper. Hey. At such a great opportunity, why should Marquis Wu worry so much, he should act quickly! Marquis Wu is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and he wished to meet him early and become an official! If Cai Degui really has evil intentions, Deng will definitely kill his relatives!!"

Zhou Yu's bright eyes froze for a moment, and he shouted in a cold voice.

"It's unfaithful to eat his salary and betray his master. It's unrighteous to live in his land and sacrifice his land. General Deng betrays his master for glory. If my master accepts it, it will be a disaster!"

After Zhou Yu finished drinking, he was about to drink around and drove Deng Yi out.Deng Yi shouted angrily and shouted sharply.

"Deng Mou is not selling his master to seek glory! Now meeting Minggong, I dare not show my courage! Cai Degui changed the last emperor's will without authorization, and he was cruel and heartless. He won the hearts of the people. At present, the hearts of Cai Degui's subordinates are scattered, and sooner or later they will die. If Marquis Wu can acquire Jingzhou, go north to the Central Plains, and rectify the Tian Dynasty, his name will go down in history, and he will make great achievements. Ming Gongguo intends to take Jingzhou. I think it should be internal. If Cai Degui has a different mind, I will take his head anyway and present it to Marquis Wu. I don’t know what Marquis Wu wants?"

Deng Yi made another promise, and Zhou Yu left after hearing Bi Hanche's expression, and secretly eyed Sun Ce.Sun Ce then laughed loudly and continued drinking.

"Hahahaha!!! Good! Good! Good!!!"

Immediately, Sun Ce accepted Deng Yi, let him be ahead of Cai Mao, and monitored his every move.At the same time, Zhou Yu was so kind to Deng Yi's delivery.Deng Yi was determined to vote under Sun Ce's command, so he kept it in mind at the moment.

The next day, Sun Ce wrote back a letter and handed it to Deng Yi.Deng Yichi took his leave, anxiously looking forward to returning from Jingzhou Nanjun.

At the same time in Hanshou City.Liu Qi returns, Liu Bei's generals, ministers and counselors are also supplemented by the original Jingzhou squad.In order to appease Liu Bei, Liu Qi promised most important positions to those under Liu Bei's command.At that time, he felt Liu Bei's kindness again, obeyed Liu Biao's last order, and made Liu Bei handle political affairs with him.Liu Qi can be said to be obedient and extremely dependent on Liu Bei. In addition, the Kuai brothers and Yiji all intend to serve Liu Bei, and intend to maintain this weird situation.

Liu Qi didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and treated Liu Bei like his father, with respect and love.Liu Bei also treated Liu Qi like a son under his knee, and the uncle and nephew got along harmoniously without any gap.

Wait for Xiangyang, Wuling, and Jiangxia to be stable.One day, Zhuge Liang suddenly said to Liu Bei.

"Cai Degui was defeated and retreated to Nanjun, and gathered all his confidants and soldiers in one place. To stabilize Jingzhou, the Cai family must not tolerate it, and must get rid of it urgently."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, and said to Zhuge Liang.

"What the military advisor said is true. According to the military advisor, what should I do?"

"My lord is now dispatching troops from Wuling and Xiangyang to attack Nanjun and wipe out the Cai family with lightning speed. At the same time, I will order Huang Hansheng in Jiangxia to be more prepared and guard the city strictly!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned and asked anxiously.

"The military division has such a layout, why?"

Zhuge Liang's bright moon-like pupils narrowed slightly, and two beams of brilliance burst out that would make the world dim, and said in a concentrated voice.

"Cai Degui's general situation is over, no matter where he walks, he will definitely fight hard. According to Liang's prediction, most of him will send envoys to Jiangdong to ask for help, and lead Jiangdong's army into Jingzhou to block our army's offensive!"
