Reincarnation Showdown

Chapter 56
On the other side, under the escort of Dian Wei, Jia Xu soon came to Jiangdong.

Yes, Dian Wei escort.

At this time in Cao Ying, there are simply not too many peerless generals, so important people will be equipped with one as a guard when they go out, so as not to encounter bandits and robbers on the road, and it is also a deterrent to the outside world.

However, Sun Ce did not meet him.

The one who greeted Jia Xu was Zhou Yu, the number two figure in Jiangdong.

Just like he did to Zhuge Liang in the original book and Lin Yuan before, he also left Jia Xu alone, and he did all kinds of etiquette, but he just didn't talk about business.

Jia Xu didn't care about this, and just waited and competed patiently.

His task was not to instigate against Jiangdong, but to hold them back so that they would not join forces with Yuan Shao. Even if they were left alone, as long as Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not send troops, the goal would be achieved.

So there is no rush at all.

It's very leisurely to eat, drink and have fun in the post house, and go fishing in the Yangtze River if you have nothing to do.

On the contrary, Zhou Yu gradually lost his composure.

"Then Yuan Shao issued an edict to hunt for thieves, asking the princes to come to the alliance to rescue the emperor. My lord is also a minister of the Han Dynasty, and he is going to lead a hundred thousand troops to the alliance. Mister should leave as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."

Zhou Yu told Jia Xu.

Regarding this, Jia Xu shook his head with a smile, and said, "If you really want to form an alliance, you would have sent your troops to the north half a month ago. Don't tell me, go to someone else's territory to form an alliance, and when you come back, you will be plotted and intercepted." You haven't experienced it before."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu's face immediately darkened.

The fact that Liu Biao sent people to intercept and kill Sun Jian was a hurdle that could not be overcome, and the feud between Jiangdong and Jingzhou could not be solved--in this era, filial piety is the most important thing, if the hatred of killing his father can be resolved, then Sun Ce is not worthy of it The Lord of Jiangdong.

Therefore, not only the Sun family was on guard against Liu Biao, but Liu Biao was also on guard against the Sun family.

This created a very embarrassing situation: Xuzhou was directly to the north of Yangzhou, and there was no way to get there. By passing through Jingzhou, you had to worry about Liu Biao's conspiracy, and Liu Biao also clearly deployed a large army on the Yangtze River.

The two forces guard against each other, and there is no basis for cooperation at all.

This is why Sun Ce has not responded to Yuan Shao.

No response at all!

"I know that you are in a dilemma, why don't you give me some advice." Jia Xu said: "Just wave the flag on the surface and stand still behind the scenes. If there is a change in the battle ahead, immediately raid Jingzhou. Take Liu Biao's territory and strengthen yourself. Merge with my lord, how about three parts of the world?"

He did not deny Cao Cao's ambition to eat Yuan Shao.

What is true and false is even more difficult to distinguish.

"This, yes, it is possible, but the teacher is famous." Sun Ce said.

"What name?"

"The imperial decree to confer on our lord as the shepherd of Jingzhou, and to send our lord to attack Jingzhou!" Zhou Yu said, "With the imperial decree, we can justifiably send troops,"

Regarding this, Jia Xu smiled and said, "I don't have canonization and transfer orders."

This made Zhou Yu frown.

The other party's preparations are too incomplete, right?

"However, before coming here, the military adviser stamped a few blank imperial edicts with jade seals. If you need them, I can write one for you now." Jia Xu said.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce heard the words: "???"

……

After Jia Xu left, the "Big Three" of the Sun Ce Group also sat together and discussed.

"Our Yangzhou's geographical location is very remote, and it is not suitable to compete with the princes of the Central Plains. We might as well follow the advice of the Cao Cao envoy and send troops to take Jingzhou." Zhang Yi said.

Time has been passing, and it has been nearly four years since the reincarnation came.

He changed into a long gown and grew a goatee.

It looks a bit like Lu Su, already like a native ancient scholar.

"However, although Liu Biao led 20 troops to the expedition, he still left [-] troops to garrison, and his brother-in-law Cai Mao personally led the troops stationed at Chibi. There is no result within the time limit, so if we remain on hold, they will also be on guard."

Wars were fought in ancient times, not in modern times.

If you run thousands of miles and march thirty miles a day, it will take more than a month to walk.

Plus fighting and defending.

It is not impossible to fight for several years, or even more than ten years.

If you stay still for such a long time, a fool will know that there is a problem, and it is impossible not to be on guard.

"We have left a hundred thousand troops behind, so we can eat enough!" Zhou Yu said: "As for the outcome of the battle ahead, what does that have to do with us?"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Ce was immediately stunned.

"what do you mean?"

"There is no need to wait for them to decide the result, even before the result is drawn, we have to win Jingzhou first." Zhang Yi said, "What's the point of three-point world? If there is no winner between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao If we took Jingzhou earlier, we can go west and take Shuchuan, and fight against the people who ruled the north!"

After finishing speaking, he paused, and said again: "Even if we can't win Shuchuan, we can choose a weaker one among Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to support, defeat the strong one, and eat more territory!"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Ce's eyes lit up immediately.

Yangzhou is in an awkward position.

But if you win Jingzhou, you can take Yizhou if you go west, Yuzhou and Xuzhou if you go north, and the natural danger of the Yangtze River to defend if you retreat, or even attack Xiliang if you go up the river.

Great advantage.

It can even be said that it will remain invincible!
"Then, when will we do it?" Sun Ce asked.

"The sooner the better!" Zhou Yu said.

As for Zhang Yi, he only said two words lightly: "Tonight!"

……

On the other hand, when Jia Xu returned to Cao Ying, it was already half a month later.

Liu Biao's army marched up the river, joined Liu Yi, and built fortifications in the abandoned Chang'an City, preparing to welcome the emperor back.On the other hand, Yuan Shao led the army straight to Yanzhou, wanting to cut off the ties between Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou, and make Cao Cao a turtle in the urn.

The sinister intentions can be seen.

Not only that, Liu Biao also asked Cai Mao to join forces with Sun Ce to attack from the intersection of Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou, and cooperate with Yuan Shao to cut Cao Cao's retreat.

Once this happens, Cao Cao will be attacked from both sides.

Even if there are more than 50 soldiers now, they will still be in danger, and the outcome is only five or five.

Fortunately, before the fight started, good news came from Jingzhou: the heavenly man Zhang Yi personally led [-] soldiers and horses, disguised as merchants in white clothes, crossed the river and entered Chibi, and opened the gate of Cai Mao's defense line from the inside.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, led an army of [-] in a frontal attack.

Before Cai Hao could react, he went on a rampage and beheaded him, taking down Chibi in one fell swoop.

Then blocked the news, all the way people kept making dolls, pretending to be merchants in white clothes to seize the door, while pretending to be Cai Mao's cronies all the way, cheating to open the city gate, using two prongs to quickly win Jiangxia, and occupy Xinye, and finally captured the entire Jingxiang nine counties.

After the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

"This wave is stable!" After receiving the news, Lin Yuan said to Cao Cao: "Then Zhou Yu and Zhang Yi must have thought about taking Jingzhou quickly and then seeking benefits from the Central Plains. But it will take time for them to digest Jingzhou, and they will never Possibly north."

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and said: "They would never have imagined that all we want is this short period of time!"

"Yes!" Lin Yuan nodded: "According to the strategy that has been formulated, we will divide our troops into three groups. The first route will be led by you personally, the prime minister, to guard Xuchang to deal with Liu Biao and Liu Wei. The second route will be led by Zhao Yun, with Lu Bu and Huang Zhong as the deputy generals." , go straight to Youzhou!"

After that, he paused and stood up.

"As for the third route, I have selected 8000 of the most elite members of the Datong Army to form the 'Tiangong Battalion', and it is also time to meet Fang Yifan's 'Tianren Army', which is known as 'invincible' Already!"
