The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 120 Chapter 120
Zhou Yu heard that Sun Ce was ordered to attack Lujiang, so he asked curiously, "Since Brother Bofu was ordered to attack Lujiang, must there be soldiers and horses accompanying him?"

"I brought five hundred cavalry, and I am hiding in the dense forest outside the city. I will go into the city to find out what is true. When I go back, I will lead them to attack Shucheng." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu said again: "Brother Bofu has said such important information, are you not afraid that we will tell the prefect?"

"I have already patrolled the city. Although there are many guards in the city, in front of the soldiers and horses I brought, they are just a group of mobs, and they are not vulnerable at all." Sun Ce said confidently.

Zhou Yu said with a chuckle, "Brother Bofu is too arrogant. Under the rule of Prefect Lu, the people of Lujiang live and work in peace and contentment, and do not close their homes at night. Moreover, Prefect Lu has clear rewards and punishments, is impartial and selfless, and is deeply loved by the people of the county. Once I send Brother Bofu The news of leading the army to attack the city has spread, and the people in the county are bound to go up to defend the city spontaneously, and live and die with Lu Taishou. Brother Bo Fu only has 500 people, even if they all count as hundreds of people, there are hundreds of thousands of Lujiang people. If we help Taishou Lu to defend the city together, how can Brother Bo Fu capture this city?"

Sun Ce frowned, with a hint of ferocity on his face, and said loudly: "If you really dare to destroy my good deeds, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Ce put the ancient ingot knife worn at his waist on the table, and scanned everyone present with his sharp eyes, quite majestic.

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Brother Bofu is superb in martial arts, we are indeed no match. However, once Brother Bofu starts to kill someone, it will definitely attract the attention of the officials. At that time, Brother Bofu wants to attack the city again. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult, right?"

"What are you doing?" Sun Ce stood up suddenly, holding the ancient ingot knife tightly, ready to draw it out at any time.

Seeing the nervousness on Sun Ce's face, Zhou Yu immediately smiled and said, "Brother Bofu, you don't have to be like this. I was just joking with Brother Bofu. As far as I know, Prefect Lu has a great reputation and has always been respected by people. I have no grievances or enmities with Yuan Shu, I don't know why Yuan Shu sent Brother Bo Fu to attack Lujiang?"

Sun Ce immediately asked Yuan Shu to borrow food from Lu Kang, but Lu Kang refused, and Yuan Shu was furious, so he told Zhou Yu about sending troops to capture Lujiang.And, together with Yuan Shu's promise to him, he told Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly said: "Brother Bo Fu, Yuan Shu is capricious. Although he promised to make you the prefect of Lujiang after you captured Lujiang, it may not be true. Even if Yuan Shu really let Bo Brother Fu is the prefect of Lujiang, but brother Bo Fu is still subordinate to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu can let someone replace you as the prefect at any time. Being ruled by others, there is definitely no future, so it is better to leave early, with brother Bo Fu's great talent, he will definitely make a big difference!"

After hearing this, Sun Ce sighed heavily, and said, "I don't know Yuan Shu's character. I also want to leave Yuan Shu, but I have no soldiers and power. Even if I leave, what can I do? So, the only way is to leave Yuan Shu." I have placed it on Yuan Shu. And he also promised me that after the capture of Lujiang, he will let me be the prefect. Once I become the prefect, I can secretly recruit troops. When I have enough strength to leave Yuan Shu, I will naturally no longer listen to him. dispatched."

Zhou Yu said: "Yuan Shu has many generals, and Lujiang and Jiujiang belong to Huainan. Even if you become the prefect of Lujiang and secretly recruit troops here, Lujiang is very close to Jiujiang, and you are not Yuan Shu's confidant. How can he not be on guard? If you want to concentrate on developing here, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. What's more, Yuan Shu may change his order from day to day. If you are appointed as the prefect today, and someone else will be sent to replace you tomorrow, it will be difficult for you to leave Yuan Shu at that time, and you will still be controlled by others after all. .”

After hearing this, Sun Ce had a helpless expression on his face, and at the same time, a thick cloud was cast in his heart. After hearing Zhou Yu's words, it seemed that he would never have a day of being famous.

Seeing Sun Ce's gloomy expression, Zhou Yu changed the subject immediately and said, "However, if brother Bo Fu really wants to leave Yuan Shu, it's not impossible..."

Sun Ce suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Liu Yao, governor of Yangzhou, had a great quarrel with Yuan Shu. A few months ago, he led a large army to attack Huainan. , and dominates Jiangdong. However, although Liu Yao has talents, he can't use people, so that in Wuyue area, all the talents want to return to the Ming Dynasty. Brother Ruobo Fu can borrow soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu to attack Liu Yao , with the bravery of brother Bofu, he will definitely be able to defeat Liu Yao and conquer Jiangdong. At that time, brother Bofu will recruit talents and recruit soldiers secretly, and then he will be able to break away from Yuan Shu and dominate Jiangdong with the people of Wu and Yue and the solidity of the three rivers, so that Great accomplishment!"

After Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu's plan, the dark cloud that had been hanging over his heart suddenly disappeared, and the sun seemed to fill his heart, and he seemed to see his future in his eyes.

Suddenly, Sun Ce went straight in front of Zhou Yu, cupped his fists respectfully and said, "Thank you Brother Zhou for your guidance, for sweeping away the haze in front of my eyes, Bo Fu is really grateful."

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Bofu doesn't have to be like this, I'm just doing my best. Besides, the reason why I planned this for Brother Bofu is to let him dispel the idea of ​​attacking Lujiang..."

"Even if I don't attack Lujiang, Yuan Shu will still send others to attack Lujiang. I have heard of the prefect Lu's reputation for a long time. I led the people here this time only for food. If prefect Lu can lend Yuan Shu [-] shi of grain , Lujiang will naturally avoid the suffering of swordsmen." Sun Ce said.

Zhou Yu frowned, thought for a moment, and then said to Sun Ce: "Brother Bo Fu, Prefect Lu is upright, and has always been very jealous of Yuan Shu's behavior. If you want him to obediently take out the food, it may be harder than climbing to the sky. However, it depends on human effort, I have a way to get the best of both worlds, which can let Brother Bofu take away the food, and save Lujiang from the suffering of swordsmen."

"Oh? If there is such a good plan, then why would I not do it!" Sun Ce said.

So, Zhou Yu told Sun Ce a plan. After Sun Ce heard it, he was very happy, and at the same time admired Zhou Yu's resourcefulness.

"Brother Zhou's resourcefulness really impresses Bo Fu. If Brother Zhou can always advise me, I believe I will be able to achieve great achievements in the near future." Sun Ce said.

After Zhou Yu heard this, he laughed and said, "I have admired Brother Bofu for a long time. If Brother Bofu doesn't dislike him, Gong Jin is willing to follow Brother Bofu from now on, and to advise Brother Bofu sooner or later..."

"That's great. If I win Gongjin, I will definitely achieve some success." Sun Ce said happily.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce cherished each other. In order to win people's hearts, Sun Ce offered to marry Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu refused several times, but he did not refuse.

The two reported their birth dates to each other, and it turned out that they were born in the same year, but Sun Ce was several months older than Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu called Sun Ce his elder brother, and Sun Ce called Zhou Yu's younger brother.

The rest of the people were also very happy when they saw each other. They were convinced by Zhou Yu, and they also admired Sun Ce.

Afterwards, Sun Ce left Shucheng with Zhou Yu and others to meet the five hundred cavalrymen. Under Sun Ce's command, all the five hundred cavalrymen turned into merchants and entered Shucheng in batches.

Afterwards, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took the five hundred cavalry and surrounded the prefect's mansion tightly. Sun Ce even relied on two fists to break into the prefect's mansion all the way, and tied up the prefect Lu Kang with his own hands.

Sun Ce threatened Lu Kang, while Zhou Yu persuaded Lu Kang hard and softly, and finally got Lu Kang's consent and promised to give Sun Ce food and grass.However, there were only [-] shi of grain in the granary in Lujiang, and Sun Ce wanted to take away [-] shi of grain and left the remaining [-] shi for Lu Kang.

Zhou Yu relied on his contacts in Shucheng to organize a grain transportation team for Sun Ce. After transporting all [-] shi of grain out of Lujiang, Sun Ce released Lu Kang.

Although Lu Kang hated him, he was an upright gentleman. Since he promised Sun Ce and Zhou Yu not to pursue the matter, he did what he said, and he did not impose sanctions on Zhou Yu, nor did he send troops to pursue Sun Ce.

So, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu escorted the food and grass, and went to Shouchun.

When they arrived at the junction of Lujiang and Jiujiang, Zhou Yu didn't want to see Yuan Shu, so he separated from Sun Ce here, and gave Sun Ce a kit, and asked Sun Ce to open the kit after he arrived in Shouchun, and then act according to the plan.

Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand reluctantly, unwilling to part with Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu told Sun Ce that he would wait for the news of Sun Ce's attack on Jiangdong in Shucheng. Once he received the news of Sun Ce, he would recruit some soldiers to join Sun Ce , and Sun Ce went to fetch Jiangdong.

After the two separated, Sun Ce continued to escort the grain and grass to Shouchun.When he returned to Shouchun, Sun Ce went directly to see Yuan Shu and reported his achievements.

Yuan Shu learned that Sun Ce had returned without losing a single soldier, and brought back [-] shi of grain. Although he did not capture Lujiang, he didn't say anything for the sake of the grain.

When Sun Ce returned home, he opened the kit given by Zhou Yu, glanced at the tricks in the kit, and couldn't help saying, "It's really a clever trick!"

It happened that Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Liu Xun and others to attack Runan in Yuzhou. The army was outside, only a few soldiers and horses in Shouchun City.

Therefore, Sun Ce thought that the time had come, so he wrote a letter, called his confidant, and asked him to take the letter to Liyang at Xingye, and handed the letter to his uncle Wu Jing himself.

After that, Sun Ce waited for news in Shouchun City.

A few days later, his confidant returned with a letter from Wu Jing, saying that he and Sun Ce's cousin Sun Ben were both willing to follow Sun Ce's arrangement, and had already written to Yuan Shu, falsely claiming that Liu Yao's army crossed the river to attack Liyang, Request support.

On the second day, Yuan Shu really sent someone to invite Sun Ce, and Sun Ce went directly to the State Shepherd's Mansion. As soon as he saw Yuan Shu, he clasped his fists and said, "The last general will see you!"

Yuan Shu said with a smile on his face: "Bo Fu, you came at the right time. Just now your uncle Wu Jing sent someone to send news that Liu Yao led the army to attack Liyang again and prayed for support. Now Ji Ling, Zhang Xun and the others are all leading troops outside, and they are using troops against Yuzhou. I have no more troops to move. But Liyang is very critical, and we have to save it. After much deliberation, I am going to send you to support Liyang. How about next?"

Sun Ce clasped his fists and said, "For public and private reasons, I have to go to rescue each other, but my lord has no soldiers to call, and I will go alone, and it will not help."

Yuan Shu frowned, and also felt distressed, said: "It's really not possible, I ordered to recruit three thousand soldiers, led by you, to support Li Yang."

Sun Ce said: "My lord, the new recruits have not been trained bravely, and it will be useless to fear that they will go."

Yuan Shu felt troubled and said, "Then what should I do?"

Sun Ce clasped his fists and said, "My lord, how about this? Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi and others from my late father's old troops were all brave and good at fighting. I will go with you, and we will work together to fight the enemy bravely, and we will certainly be able to repel Liu Yao's army."

After hearing this, Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and hastily agreed with Sun Ce's opinion, and ordered someone to notify Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi and others to go to Liyang for support.

So Sun Ce bid farewell to Yuan Shu, got on his horse, took his weapon, and headed straight for Liyang, yearning for infinite beauty in his heart!
