    "I have made up my mind, Zhong Mou, no need to say more! The world is turbulent, and it is the time for us to use force. At this time, we do not fight, but retreat, but what's the point?"

    Fei Ge Zhuan Shu itself does not have much technical content. After piercing the window paper, it is easy to copy it.  When Cao Cao and Sun Ce met for an alliance, this was the first thing they exchanged.  With the flying pigeon passing the message, Sun Ce got the latest military information, only half a day behind Cao Cao.

    Sun Ce¡¯s character can be said to be aggressive at best, and impulsive and irritable at worst.  He naturally supported Cao Cao's decision to give it a go.

    However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that the news had just reached his younger brothers Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. The former actually rushed to Hulu Camp overnight and raised objections to him with fierce words.

    "Brother, this is wrong."

    Sun Quan was born in the fifth year of Guanghe, and is seven years younger than his brother Sun Ce. He is only thirteen years old. Even in this era, he can only be regarded as an older child.  But no matter who it is, as long as they see him with a serious face and arguing with reason, they will definitely regard him as a young man who can be crowned.

    "The military is a major event for the country, the place of life and death, and the way to survival! How can we not pay attention to it? Our army's march to the north is originally a laborious expedition, and after eradicating the traitor Yuan Shu, the Huainan area is unstable, with Zhang Jia and Pang Tong.  It is a taboo for military strategists to attack with all their strength. Before the battle of Longshan, Xiliang, Luoyang and our three Jiangdong families attacked separately, and there was still a chance of victory. Now"

    Sun Quan looked sad and said in a sad voice: "Xuzhou has not yet been conquered and Huainan has not been pacified. Even if we can win this battle, when the Warring States Period is divided, it will be difficult for me in Jiangdong to compete with Luoyang. Once defeated Brother, my grandson, the Fen ancestor of the Sun family, had a sad look on his face.  It took two generations of Zhiwei and many years of fighting to achieve this situation today. We must cherish our great foundation!"

    With that said, he bowed deeply to Sun Ce, looking like an ancient critic.

    Sun Ce didn't seem to expect that his brother would express his position like this. He was stunned for a moment and did not react.  Upon seeing this, all the staff looked at each other and nodded.

    Bu Zhao, a famous scholar from Huaiyin, was the first to speak: "What the second general said is exactly the old way of running a country. Cao Cao supported the emperor, and his territory was completely bordering Qingzhou, so he had to fight to the death. On the other hand, our army only had to stop fighting and make peace.  We can calmly explore Huainan and Jingzhou, and separate the north and south from Qingzhou for future plans. Why bother to follow the example of Bo Lang and hope for a battle?"

    "What Zishan said is true." Gu Yong, a famous scholar in Wu County, followed closely: "Although Huainan is slightly inferior to Jiangdong, it is also an area with more mountains and less flat land. The Qingzhou army is fighting in all directions, and the leader is the cavalry army!  Our army retreats to Huainan, so that its cavalry cannot be deployed. Whether it is luring the enemy deep, fighting decisively within the territory, or keeping the enemy outside the country's gates, this is the best strategy."

    "Cao Cao was good at taking advantage of the situation, and Bao Yuncheng helped him achieve his goals. Now he has no power and all four major things are empty. Liu Gongshan was deceived by him and was defeated and died, and his wife could not be saved. Yuan Benchu, Ma Shoucheng, and Han Wenyue were all worthy  What an example to learn from! My lord, you should be aware of this and never take any risks to get chestnuts out of the fire for Cao Cao!"

    "My lord, you should be aware of this!"

    Zhang Zhao, Yan Zhen, Kan Ze, Xue Zong, and all the civil servants in Jiangdong all came out to advise him. Even with Sun Ce's courage and unparalleled domineering power, everyone was caught off guard and stood there dumbfounded.

    When Sun Quan spoke, he was surprised and a little happy in his heart.  No matter what his views are, my brother always speaks well and speaks volumes, which is always a sign of his success.

    There is a saying: Father and son go into battle, brothers fight tigers, and Jiangdong's foundation must be taken on by oneself, but if the younger brothers can become talented as soon as possible and help from the side, it will definitely be a good thing.

    If he had not had such expectations for his younger brother, Sun Ce would not have taken the underage Sun Quan with him when he went north, and even appointed him as the general to take charge of his own role.

    It¡¯s not that Sun Ce doesn¡¯t have a right-hand man under his command, Zhou Yu was originally used by him as his second-in-command.  The reason why Sun Quan was given the title of general was simply to allow him to experience more, gain more knowledge, and grow up faster.

    It¡¯s just that Sun Ce never expected that his brother would grow up in a direction that deviated greatly from what he expected.  He didn't show much talent in political or military strategy, but instead used Machiavellian tactics on himself!

    Sun Ce doesn¡¯t like Machiavellian tactics, and he can¡¯t say he has any attainments in this field, but the matter is obvious.  If Sun Quan only had objections to strategy, he could have come to him alone instead of bringing a group of left-behind civil servants to boost his momentum, making it seem like he was trying to force the palace.

    ¡°Perhaps these people are here to force me into a palace.

    Sun Ce was very clear about the thoughts of the officials in Jiangdong. Except for Gong Jin and some vigorous young generals, everyone else had little interest in mentioning the Northern Expedition and expanding the territory.

      It¡¯s not that they turn a blind eye to the honor of being the founding fathers and have reached the supreme state of being strong without desire. They are just unwilling to take risks and would rather settle down and enjoy peace.

    Sun Ce doesn¡¯t quite understand what these people think.  Although there are natural dangers in Jiangdong, if you take advantage of the dangers and defend them, you can resist for a long time.  But as long as the growth of the forces between the north and the south does not change, or is even further pulled apart, Jiangdong will be crushed by the northern army sooner or later.

    "Such a simple truth, wouldn't these famous talents not understand it?"

    Sun Ce could only understand this as that each family was unwilling to damage their own strength, so they joined forces in private and pushed his younger brother to the table to top the cylinder.

    Although Sun Ce is also a hero, due to his character, he is not a city man. He felt unhappy, anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he shouted coldly: "Who is Wang Pengju? He is an unparalleled talent in the world! My father also praised him highly back then.  Rumors of his wisdom and bravery have spread to this general as an encouragement. Now that he is flourishing, it further proves my father's ability to recognize people!"

    Everyone looked at each other in shock and surprise.

    The Lord actually praised Wang Yu in public. Is this a sign that the sun will rise from the north tomorrow?  Obviously the name Wang Yu is the biggest taboo in Jiangdong. In order to compete with Wang Yu, the Lord has made countless unknown anger. Why did the trend suddenly change today?

    You know, just now everyone was admonishing each other, revealing their secret connections in no uncertain terms, but they still didn't dare to tell the truth - they were afraid of Wang Yu and the power of the Qingzhou Army, so they only thought about retreating.  He expressed his mood verbally, just because he was worried about annoying the lord and making him angry, but in the end, the lord himself did the talking.

    Could it be that the lord has finally grown up and dared to face reality and admit that Wang Yu is incredibly powerful?

    If this is the case, then it is really lucky for Jiangdong!

    Three hundred thousand Xiliang troops attacked head-on, but they couldn't defeat Wang Yu's mere 40,000 troops. Even if all the troops from Jiangdong were defeated, their total troops would only amount to one hundred thousand troops. How could they compete with Qingzhou?

    It¡¯s better to retreat.

    Although retreating cannot change the balance of power, Qingzhou's strength comes entirely from Wang Yu.  The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. Wang Yu became famous at a young age and became powerful in the world. Who can guarantee that such a person will not die young?

    As long as Wang Yu is not in charge, even if the Qingzhou Army sweeps all the territory north of the river, the Jiangdong Army will not have no chance of counterattack.  Even if it doesn't work in the end, everyone can discuss the conditions at that time, and let the good bird choose a tree to roost, right?

    With this thought in mind, the ministers looked at Sun Ce with a bit of expectation and eagerness.

    "How can such a talented person be blocked by the mountains and rivers of Huainan? The general also admitted that he knew that his ability to govern was not as good as his, and his ability to win over people's hearts was not as good as his. In terms of craftsmanship and skills,  In terms of aspects, Qingzhou is unique in the world, and it is also beyond the reach of this general"

    Sun Ce seemed to intend to carry out the abnormality to the end, and the more he spoke, the more modest he became. In the end, he almost felt like he was inferior.

    Sun Ce insisted on competing with Wang Yu, but the ministers were worried and tried their best to persuade him.  At this moment, Sun Ce suddenly behaved uncharacteristically, and everyone felt uncomfortable.

    I wanted to say a few words of comfort, but what I said before was too full, and it was difficult to change my words for a while. As a result, the Chinese army tent became silent, as if a pin dropped on the ground, it could be heard clearly.

    "The only thing that I am not inferior to Wang Yu is the courage to fight in battle! If I don't fight bravely at this moment, do I still want to be safe in the future? The weather, time, people and people are not with me, can I just rely on the advantage of the land to survive? This general can understand  Let me tell you, with Qingzhou¡¯s current momentum, even if it retreats temporarily and defends Huainan, within five years, Jiangdong will be crushed like an ant by Wang Yu!¡±

    Sun Ce suddenly changed the topic and shouted loudly: "I have made up my mind! This battle must be fought! You all should follow the spirit of success or failure and fight vigorously without any regrets! Those who trust my generals  , please stay and discuss the matter. If you don¡¯t believe it, you can return to Shouchun, or even Jiangdong, and you will not be punished for this!"

    The silence was broken in an instant, and Sun Ce's sonorous and powerful words echoed inside and outside the tent.

    "That's it for today, you can make your own decisions." After saying that, he threw off his cloak and strode out of the tent.  Looking at the direction, it should be heading towards the school grounds.

    Everyone stood there, motionless, as if they had turned into sculptures.

    Chen Wu looked around and suddenly sneered, but didn't say anything and just chased him out of the tent.

    Zhang Hong and others had grasped the timing of the attack very accurately. At this moment, even if Sun Ce understood everyone's intention to force the palace, he would not be able to launch a general purge.  Killing each other will only give the enemy an advantage in the end.

    So, ?Ce made the simplest choice, and he gave everyone a chance to take sides.  Those who stand with him can stay and fight to the death, while others can retreat to Shouchun with Sun Quan.

    ¡°Obviously, Sun Ce is going to burn his boat!

    After Jiangdong's army split, it was definitely impossible to maintain the trend of resisting Zhang Jia and Pang Tong in the east and joining forces with Cao Cao in the north.  If Sun Ce continues to fight in Yanzhou, his retreat will be cut off by Zhang Jaw. As he said himself, failure will lead to failure.

    Everyone saw this, but only Chen Wu made the choice without hesitation.

    The second person who took action was Zhu Huan. He had also advised Sun Ce with his theory of stability that day, but today, perhaps overwhelmed by Sun Ce's domineering power, he made the completely opposite choice.

    He was not as good at words as Chen Wu. When he walked to the tent door, he suddenly stopped and said without looking back: "Everyone, Jiangdong can be what it is today because of the lord's bravery and vigor. If it is lost,  Without this spirit, I'm afraid I'll have to settle for less in the future." After saying that, he walked out quickly without waiting to see other people's reactions.

    Zhang Zhao and others remained expressionless, while Sun Quan looked uneasy. His eyes kept wandering around the tent and Zhang Zhao's old face, and his lips moved, but in the end he could not take a step forward, nor did he say a word to stay.  .

    After Sun Ce left, everyone's attention was originally focused on Sun Quan. After waiting for a long time, they knew that he had made the final choice. For a while, they either sighed, were happy, were disappointed or depressed, and so on.  .

    "Duke, the second general, I'll leave it to you!" Han Dang adjusted his armor and slapped Huang Gai on the shoulder.

    "Yi Gong, you alas!" Huang Gai looked extremely excited.

    As an old minister who has followed Sun Jian for many years, he certainly does not want to see the Sun Ce brothers split, but he also understands that even without Sun Quan's statement, Zhang Zhao and others will not bet on Sun Ce's last stand, and will still find someone  Other reasons are used as reasons to retreat without fighting.

    In fact, from this perspective, Sun Quan is the one who behaves unethically.

    As the eldest brother, Sun Ce loves and protects his younger brothers, especially the older Sun Quan.  Sun Ce did not leave any backup plan at all, delegating power in every way, hoping that he would succeed without any suspicion at all. It was not like the style of a prince's family at all.

    Sun Quan led the army in battle and asked Sun Ce for guards. The latter directly assigned two powerful generals, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, to his command.  Zhou Tai is a powerful general with infinite strength. In the battle with Qingzhou generals that day, in terms of personal martial arts, except for Sun Ce, only Zhou Tai did not fall behind.  Jiang Qin's archery skills are superb. With these two people by his side, the safety will definitely increase a lot.

    By doing this when the war was about to take place, there was no doubt that Sun Ce loved and cared for his younger brother.

    However, as retainers, Huang Gai and Han Dang had no room to comment on their master's family affairs. They could only protect each other's side with Han Dang, try their best to be loyal, and just hope that they would be worthy of their kindness to Sun Jian.

    In the end, he could only pat his old partner on the shoulder and say: "Take care!"

    Zhou Tai stood firmly behind Sun Quan, but Jiang Qin seemed to be in a dilemma, but finally gave up.  In the end, only those three generals above the rank of captain followed Sun Ce, but more than 80% of the mid-level generals followed.

    The civil servants all stayed in the tent.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out somehow???????

    "Second General, let's go." Zhang Zhao sighed, walked to Sun Quan, and reminded him softly.

    ¡­¡­

    Wang Yu didn¡¯t know what kind of impact the Battle of Longshan had on his opponents, and he had no time to pay attention to such issues. What he was most concerned about at the moment was the success or failure of Xu Shu¡¯s mission.

    Xu Shu asked for orders to pacify the remnant army of Xiliang that day. He did not intend to solve the problem with force, but to enter the enemy camp alone and solve the problem with eloquence and courage.

    From the bottom of his heart, Wang Yu didn¡¯t want Xu Shu to go, it was too dangerous.  The people of Xiliang are at the end of their rope, and there is no unified command system. Who knows if they will suddenly go crazy?  To deal with such an enemy, Wang Yu was certainly not willing to pay the price of losing a general.

    However, Xu Shu was very persistent and his analysis was very insightful and reasonable. After much hesitation, Wang Yu agreed to Xu Shu.

    It has been half of two days since Xu Shu left, and the three-day deadline is about to come, but there has been no movement from the Xiliang army.  Wang Yu began to worry, and for a while he could no longer pay attention to the Central Plains battlefield and Cao Cao's conspiracy.

    While he was anxious, there was a rapid sound of footsteps outside the tent, and Ji Ling stumbled in and shouted: "My lord, it's done, General Yuan Zhi has become"Okay, Liang Xing's troops have arrived at Pingtao City and are starting to enter the city!  "

    "Oh?" Wang Yu stood up overjoyed, and walked to the tent door in three steps and two steps at a time, "Okay, that's great! Send the order, and the whole army will set off, aiming for Pingtao City!"

    "Here!"

    ¡­¡­

    Flat pottery.

    The city gate, which had been closed for several days, was opened, and there were soldiers all over the city, their swords drawn and their swords drawn, and they were heavily guarded.

    Ma Chao, wearing iron armor, glanced at his disciple Ma Dai who was commanding at the top of the city. When the latter nodded to indicate that he was ready, he picked up the reins and went out with his sister Ma Yunluo.

    "Uncle Liang, Uncle Hou really bravely defeated the three armies, and actually broke through the blockade of Tai Shici. It's true that the sky will not stop our Xiliang! Where is Uncle Li? Could it be" Ma Chao looked surprised, but in his words  However, there was a hidden murderous intention. Liang Xing and Candidate were both slightly frightened, knowing that if they answered poorly, today would be a situation where blood would be splattered at the city gate.

    Liang Xing laughed and said: "My nephew is joking. Taishi Ci is brave and brave, and his Gale Jingqi is a master of hundreds of battles. How can he break through easily? It's just that he is worried about the casualties of his soldiers and can't defeat us for a while.  So just pretend to be generous and let us come to the city to eat food."

    Liang Xing and others are individually weaker than Ma and Han, but together they are much stronger than Ma and Han combined. In terms of status, these people are equal.

    Previously, Ma Chao defeated Han Sui and became the commander-in-chief. Liang Xing and others were overwhelmed by his power and regarded themselves as subordinates.  Now that the army had disappeared, they resumed their previous names.  The advantage of doing this is that the situation is clear and everyone can carry on as usual, thus avoiding conflicts over power.

    "That's what I expected!"

    Ma Chao sneered and said: "Wang Yu'er must be feeling very proud right now. He feels that it's not worth paying too much to deal with defeated generals like us. I'm afraid all his thoughts are on Cao Cao. That's just right. Cao Cao is so scheming that even Dong Zhuo can't do it."  How can we be easy to deal with if we fall into his hands? They fight for it themselves, just so we can get back on our feet!"

    Liang Xing and the candidate exchanged glances, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

    They can also be regarded as Ma Chao¡¯s elders. Not to mention they watched Ma Chao grow up, but they are not much different.  From what they thought, Ma Chao should be dejected at this moment. At worst, he should be filled with only resentment, like a gambler who loses his money.  He never expected that Ma Chao's mood would be almost the same as before the war.

    Seeing Ma Chao's calm and calm manner, Liang Xing and Liang Xing felt infinite admiration in their hearts.  This admiration is not directed at Ma Chao, but at Xu Shu!  His prediction was so accurate, it was absolutely perfect!

    If the enemy has an opportunity like this, are you still afraid that something big will not happen?  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
