Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 567
"There is no reason to return what you have already eaten. Liu Biao is nothing to worry about! Liu Bei is still weak, so Cao Cao is in trouble."

Wu Shun expressed his will.

Don't consider using Changsha and Guilin counties to please Liu Biao.Jingzhou and Yizhou have had grievances for a long time, and there is no possibility of resolving them.

"Since that's the case, my lord can contact Jiangdong Sun Ce."

Seeing that Wu Shun disagreed with his suggestion, Zhuge Liang was not annoyed and continued to make suggestions.

Sun Ce and Wu Shun had a good relationship, and at the same time attacked Jingzhou again and again.The relationship with Liu Biao is also tense.

"Sun Ce? You can try to contact him."

Wu Shun said.

Sun Ce has gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong and has the strength to participate in this game of chess.

"My lord, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others formed an alliance with the intention of dealing with Yizhou. According to my subordinates, we need to increase our troops and go north."

Fa Zhengdao.

"My lord, the final general is willing to lead the Qilin army to Hulao Pass to resist the enemy!"

Zhao Yun came out and said.

Seeing his counselors and generals like this, Wu Shun felt relieved.

"No, although the three of them joined forces, they dare not start a war easily. If we increase troops to Hulao Pass, Cao Cao will also increase. Our supply line is too long, so it is easy for Cao Cao and the others to seize the opportunity."

In the past, the increase in troops will form a vicious competition similar to an arms race.

At that time, there will be too many soldiers hoarding around Hulao Pass, which will be detrimental to the Wuling army.Although Liu Biao and Liu Bei's strength is not very good, they can't stand the alliance and have many soldiers.

"The goal of adding troops to Hulao Pass is too big. Our army can send food, grass and military equipment to Hangu Pass in case of emergency."

Zhao Yun suggested.

"Well, leave this matter to Yang Youcai."

Wu Shun immediately made a decision.

……

Since the pacification of Jiangdong, Sun Ce has been full of confidence.He really wanted to enter Jingzhou and use Jingzhou's prosperity to strengthen himself.

It's a pity that he fought against Liu Biao several times and ended in failure, which made him very annoyed.

The Wuling army captured the two counties of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce was a little jealous. Unfortunately, when he wanted to use troops, there was news that Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao had formed an alliance.

At this time, Sun Ce didn't dare to make any changes.He doesn't need to be afraid of Liu Biao, and he doesn't need to take Liu Bei seriously.But Cao Cao is a giant to Jiangdong.

I want to get my hands on Jingzhou, I want to expand my territory, I want to increase my strength.Sun Ce thought of a way to go to Yizhou to find his cheap uncle-Wu Shun.The big bandit who beat Cao Cao so badly that he needed to find an ally to strengthen his courage!

"Gongjin, I've thought about it. If Jiangdong wants to grow, we can't rely on ourselves. We need some external force."

In the mansion, Sun Ce said to his friend Zhou Yu.

"I already know what Bo Fu thinks in his heart. Just let go and do it."

As Sun Ce's friend and think tank, Zhou Yu knew Sun Ce very well.After the news of Cao Cao's three-person alliance, Sun Ce was very excited. From here, Zhou Yu guessed Sun Ce's thoughts.

Form an alliance with the Wuling Army!

Long distance and close attack, I wonder if Yizhou is willing?

This is what Zhou Yuruo is worried about.

In his mind, Wu Shun is a person who does not act according to common sense.Although the current situation, an alliance between Jiangdong and Yizhou is the best way to deal with it.But who can know what that person thinks?

"Gongjin, who is more appropriate to send?"

Sun Ce is very anxious, he is the kind of person who will immediately implement it after making a decision.

"This matter is no small matter. To show my sincerity, I am willing to go."

Zhou Yu said.

"Okay, it's Gongjin's hard work!"

Sun Ce said seriously.

"My lord, there are envoys from Yizhou visiting."

Suddenly, a personal guard reported.

"Who is the messenger?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu asked hurriedly.

"Yizhou is engaged, Zhuge Liang, Master Zhuge!"

That pro defended.

"Please, no, Gongjin, we will go to meet you in person!"

Sun Ce is somewhat unparalleled.After so many years, it was the first time he was so anxious.He never thought that Wu Shun would send an important minister like Zhuge Liang to Jiangdong.

Outside the Wu residence, Zhuge Liang's carriage stopped there quietly.He and Zhao Yun were looking at the mansion in front of them.

"Master Zhuge came from a long way, but Sun Ce has lost his way and welcomes him from afar, and hopes to make amends!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu greeted them from inside.Seeing Zhao Yun beside Zhuge Liang, Sun Ce asked with some uncertainty:

"Is this General Zhao Yun Zhao?"

"It's my servant who met General Sun!"

Zhao Yun said.

"Two, stop standing outside, please come in."

It is not hospitality to have guests standing at the door.When Sun Ce saw Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, he was so happy that he had forgotten these details. Fortunately, Zhou Yu was still there.

After entering the Wu Mansion, the four of them sat down as guests and hosts, and Zhuge Liang went straight to the point, explaining his intentions.This made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu panic!
Wu Shun took the initiative to seek an alliance with them. Could it be that he was cheating them?

"That's what my lord means. I don't know what General Sun wants. The two families form an alliance and help each other in offense and defense, so that they can gain a foothold in this troubled world."

If there is something, Zhuge Liang doesn't need to say it, Sun Ce also understands it.The Wuling army is willing to form an alliance, and Sun Ce's side naturally has 1 willingness.

"Mr. Zhuge, I don't know how good the alliance is for Jiangdong?"

As a counselor, it is his duty to seek benefits for his lord, and Zhou Yu has done a good job in this matter.

"Of course there are advantages. The most direct advantage is that the Jiangdong Army can ignore the oppression from the north. It can also attack Jingzhou at any time."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Sun Ce's eyes lit up.Zhuge Liang's two benefits have already moved him.

"I don't know, what should our Jiangdong army do or what price should we pay?"

Zhou Yu asked again.

"After the alliance, the Jiangdong army only needs to keep the same pace as our Wuling army, and put enough pressure on Cao Cao and others. After the battle begins, it only needs to hold Liu Biao and some of Liu Bei's troops."

To put it bluntly, the Wuling army needs a factor of instability behind the Cao Cao alliance.And Sun Ce is the most suitable candidate.

Sun Ce didn't have much to do, as long as he could contain the troops of the Cao Cao Alliance at the critical moment.

Of course, if Sun Ce is willing to play a bigger role, Wu Shun will be happier.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhuge. Please go back and tell your uncle that I, Jiangdong, have agreed to the alliance. If Cao Cao and others wantonly start a war regardless of the people in the world, the Jiangdong army will work with the Wuling army to quell the war!"

Do less and get more, and only fools will not form alliances.

An alliance with the Wuling Army has many benefits for Jiangdong.In addition to the two points Zhuge Liang said, Jiangdong Army can do more things.For example, sending generals to communicate with each other, buying some ordnance from Yizhou, and so on.

The alliance between Yizhou and Jiangdong was reached very simply.On behalf of Wu Shun, Zhuge Liang signed an alliance with Sun Ce in Jiangdong.

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

Liu Biao originally wanted to use the opportunity of the alliance to send troops to retake Changsha County, but when he heard about the alliance in Yizhou, he gave up this idea.

After Cao Cao learned that Wu Shun and Sun Ce had formed an alliance, he had to reconsider his deployment.He was not so assured of the strength of Liu Biao and Liu Bei.
