Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Seeing that no one objected, Yuan Shao directly agreed to Ju Shou's proposal.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you and Guo Tu. You two must convince Gongsun Zan to cooperate with me!"

"Yes, lord!" Jushou and Guo Tu responded in unison, and then went to prepare.

Arriving outside the hall, Jushu couldn't help but said to Guo Tu: "Guo Tu, you always like to fight with me. I know you do it for the noble family behind you!"

"But I'm different. I'm devoted to my lord. If your plan to unite with Gongsun Zan this time is ruined by you, then I might really kill you!"

Facing Jushou's threat, Guo Tu just glanced at him sideways, and then smiled disdainfully: "Jushou, you know, I usually don't like serious people like you. It's not interesting at all."

"But this time is different. When my lord is in a critical moment, I will naturally not compete with you for anything. After all, if your lord is defeated, I will gain nothing."

"This time, I will fully cooperate with you to convince Gongsun Zan to cooperate with the lord and jointly resist Cao's army."

Jushou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Guo Tu's vow. What he feared most was that Guo Tu would follow him and the alliance would eventually fail.

If this was really the case, then he would have no choice but to commit suicide by killing himself.

"If you have such an awareness, you will not be in vain for the Lord's kindness to you. I will take my leave now and prepare to go home."

Guo Tu waved his hand and left.

But when Guo Tu returned home, while preparing to go to Youzhou as an envoy, he found his cronies to contact Cao Cao.

"Go to Luoyang and find Guo Jia. He is a relative of my same clan. Tell him that Yuan Shao is planning to join forces with Gongsun Zan to fight against Cao Jun!"

After hearing this, Guo Tu's cronies turned a bit ugly: "Sir, do you really want to do this?"

"Of course, I want to protect the Guo family's foundation!" Guo Tu said while looking at the big house where he lived.

Later, he told his cronies: "By the way, this matter must be carried out secretly, and the news must not be leaked."

"Don't worry, sir. Even if the little one is desperate, he will spread the news to Luoyang."

……

Jingzhou, Liu Biao office.

After Huang Zhong left, Liu Biao asked Wenpin to lead the troops and guard the Changsha area with Kuai Yue to guard against the surrender of Jiangdong Army.

As for Liu Biao himself, he was greedy for pleasure and left his eldest son aside, doting on Cai and his youngest son.

Although the Jingzhou army suffered two disastrous defeats in Yangzhou, Jingzhou's family was well off after all.

Liu Biao also had many counselors and generals, so the army's strength recovered quickly.

If Liu Biao can be ruthless and start a full-scale war with Sun Jian and Sun Ce, then the Jiangdong Army will definitely not be able to stop the Jingzhou Army.

Even if Zhou Gongjin is in Jiangdong, it can only delay for some time. It is basically impossible to counterattack the Jingzhou Army.

But Liu Fang is now older and has lost his ambition and just wants to have fun.

He is now sending troops to fight Jiangdong Army just to avenge his two defeats.

However, Liu Biao did not want a full-scale war, but it did not mean that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not want a war.

After Sun Ce joined forces with Zhou Yu to defeat the Jingzhou army, he led his army to continue marching towards Jingzhou.

The two men, both civil and military, cooperated very well. Not only did they recover all the lost territory in Jiangdong, they also directly led troops to attack Guiyang Yidai.

At this time, Huang Zu led the troops to guard Guiyang, and under his command was the later famous Gan Ning Gan Xingba.It's just that Gan Ning was a water bandit after all. Although he was superb in martial arts and had great water skills, he was not taken seriously by Huang Zu's men.

Speaking of Huang Zu, although his martial arts skills were average, even only at the level of a third-rate general, he was always calm in doing things. When sending troops to fight, he always liked to use more to defeat fewer.

And his favorite is archery.

When the two armies are fighting, it doesn't matter whether you fight in front of the battle or not, just shoot a few rounds of bows and arrows at them, and then charge in the chaos. This is Huang Zu's trick.

Simple and crude, but very useful.

But now, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were so famous that Huang Zu didn't dare to rush out of the city to meet the enemy.

Every day, Sun Ce would come to Guiyang City to provoke and lead people to scold Huang Zu.

Huang Zu also endured this, and he could not lose a few pieces of meat even after being scolded. However, if he lost his mind and went into battle rashly, it would be fine if he won, but if he lost, he would lose his life. As long as he waited for the reinforcements to arrive, he would lose his life. good.

But what Huang Zu didn't know was that Sun Ce was the only one leading the troops in Guiyang at this time.

As for Zhou Yu, he had already understood Huang Zu thoroughly.

Sun Ce led his troops and scolded him every day, which was also the idea given by Zhou Yu.

"Huang Zu is cautious by nature. Bo Fu, if you call for formation every day, he will definitely not dare to go out of the city to fight you. He will only wait for reinforcements to arrive."

"And I took General Cheng and [-] soldiers directly to ambush the Jingzhou Army's reinforcements on the only way to catch them off guard."

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were making strategic arrangements.

Sun Ce trusted Zhou Yu very much and would ask Zhou Yu's opinion on all matters in the army.

As for whether the ambush would be successful and how Zhou Yu knew where the reinforcements must pass, Sun Ce would never ask.

Sun Ce only told Cheng Pu before Zhou Yu left to protect Zhou Yu's safety.

……

On the other side, Wenpin and Kuai Yue led troops to Changsha. After learning that Guiyang was attacked, they were ordered to lead troops to support.

When passing by a mountain col, Kuai Yue couldn't help but frowned: "General Wen, the terrain here is dangerous and it is easy to set up an ambush. Why did you take this road?"

Wenpin smiled when he heard this and said, "Because it's close, let's bring troops to support us. What if we arrive late and Guiyang is attacked?"

"Besides, this is in our Jingzhou. How could his Jiangdong Army ambush here?"

Wenpin explained disdainfully that he was young and energetic at this time, and he looked down upon this sergeant who often pointed fingers at him.

Kuai Yue was also helpless about this. He wanted to refute Wenpin's words, but if he really took a detour from here, it would be further away.

So he could only compromise and follow the army through this mountain col.

But as soon as the group of them entered, shouts of killing came from the mountains on both sides, and rolling rocks and trees kept falling from the mountains on both sides.

After this, there was another volley of bows and arrows.

At this time, more than half of the reinforcements led by Wenpin suffered casualties.

"Not good, there is an ambush, retreat quickly!"

Wenpin shouted and wanted to retreat, but it was too late. (End of chapter)
