Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 247

Cheng Pu said: "General, we don't have to worry about Tai Shici. Liu Yao's heavy troops are all in the east of Danyang, and the counties in the west of Danyang are weak. If we attack west, we can soon reach Jingxian County. The mountainous area is sparsely populated, so we don't have to worry about being attacked from the front or back, and we can gather several armies to encircle and wipe out Liu Yao in Qu'a! The east of the river can be flattened!"

Huang Gai and other generals all supported Cheng Pu's opinion and nodded their heads one after another.

Sun Ce also nodded and said, "Lieutenant Cheng is right."

Zhou Yu stood up, cupped his fists and said, "General, I think we should go east and directly attack Liu Yao!"

Cheng Pu had always been the oldest in the army, but Zhou Yu, a junior, opposed him in public. He immediately became angry and shouted: "How many times have you fought? If you have the ability, you lead the army to attack Liu Yao, don't just hide behind." command!"

"Lieutenant Cheng, Gong Jin, don't worry, I will lead the army this time! But since Tai Shici's army is not easy to fight, we will go around and directly attack Ruo Rong in Moling. Ruo Rong will not be on guard, but Destroy them with one blow, and then attack Liu Yao in Qu'a, Liu Yao has no reinforcements, and sooner or later he will be defeated by me."

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he slammed the short halberd in his hand on the table. With a bang, the short halberd pierced the table, and then hit the ground, more than half a foot into the ground.

Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others were shocked, Cheng Pu knew that he had slipped his words, he quickly lowered his head, cupped his hands and said: "What the general said is very true, if the general leads the army, I will serve as my best!"

Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said: "General, calm down, I have a plan to defeat Liu Yao, and let the general gain momentum, dominate Jiangdong, and achieve great achievements!"

"Gongjin! Come and listen to me!" Sun Ce said happily.

"Major Zhou, if you can help the general succeed, I, Huang Gai, will be convinced to you in the future!" Huang Gai said.

"I don't believe it. Now in Yangzhou, Duke Yuan occupies Jiujiang County. Liu Xun is the prefect of Lujiang, Zhu Zhi is the prefect of Wu County, Wang Lang is the prefect of Kuaiji, Zhu Hao, the prefect of Yuzhang appointed by the imperial court, and Zhuge, the prefect of Yuzhang appointed by Liu Jingzhou. Xuan fought in Yuzhang, and Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang, was the father of the county magistrate of Zhou. In the six counties of Yangzhou, General Sun only had me and other old troops. He had only a thousand soldiers and no territory. How could he be the magistrate of Zhou? What did you say?" Han Dang asked.

What Han Dang said was exactly the question of everyone. Although everyone hoped that Sun Ce could revive the glory of the old master, the facts before him were optimistic!In these six counties, anyone is more powerful than Sun Ce!How can it be Sun Ce's turn to stand out?

Cheng Pu showed a look of disdain, and thought, "Zhou Yu just relied on his wife being the younger sister of Sun Ce's wife, so he became the commander of the army indistinctly, calling and shouting at me and other veterans? How many meritorious deeds, how many times have you been injured, will you become a subordinate of a junior today?"

"Huh!" Cheng Pu snorted softly, but he didn't dare to get angry because of Sun Ce's face, but his face was displeased.

Zhou Yu didn't seem to hear Cheng Pu's snort, and still respectfully bowed to Cheng Pu first, and then saluted all the veterans one by one, and then said seriously: "Listen to me, everyone, if you think I'm right , please unite and fight against the enemy together, if you think what I said is wrong, please criticize and teach a lot!"

Seeing that Zhou Yu was so polite, all the generals nodded their heads. Cheng Pu couldn't get angry anymore, so he also nodded his head slightly. His complexion improved a bit, but he was still stern.

Zhou Yu said: "To prove that my Zhou family has no selfish intentions, I swear here that I, Zhou Yu, will never betray the Sun family, and from now on I will assist the Sun family to become the overlord of Jiangdong! Lord!! At the same time, I will persuade all the tyrants in Jiangdong to assist the Sun family!!"

"You are serious!" Huang Gai asked in surprise.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Song Qian and other generals all took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief!They didn't believe that Zhou Yu could make such a big sacrifice just to help his grandson Ce!

"Gong Jin, it's really great that I can get your help!" Sun Ce was greatly moved.

A confident smile appeared on Zhou Yu's face, and he said, "I know you won't believe me, so let me analyze the prospects of the Jiangjiang forces in front of you. After the analysis, I think you will understand!"

"Let's talk about our Zhou family first. Although our Zhou family has many officials in the court, we don't have much reputation. This can't be compared with the reputation of the Sun family! Combining the reputation of the Sun family with the Sun family will soon become the overlord of Jiangdong, and our Zhou family can also use this to find a place to settle down! This is very beneficial to both parties! So I decided that the Zhou family will end forever Assist the Sun family, and recognize the Sun family as the master!"

"On the other hand, the Sun family has Yuan Shu as his in-laws in the north, and the 1-strong army of his uncle General Sun Ben and Wu Jing stationed in Liyang as their backing, while in the east, Zhu Zhi of Wu County has already defeated Xu Gong and won After winning Wu County, as long as General Sun writes another letter to promise benefits, for the sake of the old master, Zhu Zhi will definitely lead his troops to join General Sun!"

"And this time I brought two thousand soldiers plus Cheng Xiaowei's more than 1000 soldiers, and then ordered Zhu Zhi to lead the army to attack Liu Yao! Liu Yao will be defeated, and General Sun will become famous all over the world. Come and vote from all directions! Then take Kuaiji and Yuzhang, and you will be the overlord!"

"Jiangdong is backed by the boundless sea, the mountains are steep, and the Yangtze River is in front of it. As long as the Yangtze River is defended with heavy troops, who else in the world can do anything to me!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "What do you guys think?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they nodded secretly, admiring Zhou Yu's eyes very much!
"County Magistrate Zhou put it lightly. Now that Tai Shici is leading the troops in front, how can our army attack Liu Yao?" Cheng Pu asked.

"It's not difficult, I will ask my father to lead the army to hold back Taishi Cijun!" Zhou Yu said.

Cheng Pu sighed in admiration: "Since the Zhou family can make such sacrifices, I, Cheng Pu, have nothing to say. Please order General Sun. I will wait for the veterans to fight the enemy bravely! Reappear the prestige of the Sun family's army!"

Sun Ce was overjoyed: "With the support of all the elders and Gong Jin, why worry about major events not being accomplished!!"
