"Are you coming?" Wu Jun, looking at the urgent documents sent from all over the country, Zhou Yu's face looked a little solemn, but a touch of excitement in his eyes revealed his thoughts at this time. Judging from the official documents sent from various places, Cao Cao is already preparing to go south. Jiangdong will definitely join forces with Jingzhou to resist Cao Cao during the war, and a war may happen at any time. Since the war with Jingzhou started two years ago, the situation in Jiangdong has taken a turn for the worse. If Sun Ce had not used drastic methods to select talents in an eclectic way, Jiangdong would have lost the qualification to compete with Cao Cao and Liu Qi. The battle two years ago shocked the whole of Jiangdong, but it also made the Jiangdong soldiers who had their eyes on the top dormant to this day. Jiangdong's development was too smooth, and it smoothly allowed everyone from Sun Ce to ordinary soldiers. Becoming more and more defiant. Half a year is not long, but for Jiangdong, this half year is too precious. The situation in Jiangdong has been completely stabilized, talented people have been discovered, and generals in the army have made statements from time to time. Although the Shanyue clan has caused chaos from time to time, it is also a good whetstone. Countless young generals have been transferred to quell the chaos, and the killings have allowed these generals to grow up quickly. "Captain, my lord has invited you." After tidying up his clothes, Zhou Yu stood up and followed the envoy to Sun Ce's residence. "Brother is here." As soon as he arrived outside the gate of Sun Ce's mansion, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old shouted to Zhou Yu from a distance. "Zhongmou, when did you come back?" Looking up at the young man, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of trance. The person in front of him was none other than Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan. Compared with two years ago, Sun Quan looked a little less The spirit of the book is a bit more murderous. As early as half a year ago, Sun Ce sent Sun Quan to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to guard one side. The place he guarded was the place where the Shanyue people often hang out. It is expected that Sun Quan would often fight with the Shanyue people in half a year. "Haha, the Shanyue tribe's unrest has been calmed down, and it will be difficult for the remaining ones to gather together in a short time. I just received the order from my eldest brother and hurried back." Sun Quan stepped forward and said with a smile. Zhou Yu suddenly realized that Sun Ce naturally knew Cao Cao's thoughts. Generals have been transferred back one by one these days. It seems that Sun Ce had already prepared for Cao Cao to go south. "Master, let's go in quickly." After saying that, Zhou Yu walked into the mansion with Sun Quan. "I have met my lord." When they came to the main hall, they saw that several people had already arrived. Even Sun Ce was already sitting on the main seat. The two of them hurriedly bowed in greeting. "Well, Gong Jin, please hurry up and take a seat." After saying this, Sun Ce waved to Sun Quan and motioned for Sun Quan to sit aside. "There is news from Xudu that Cao Cao has begun to secretly mobilize his army, and it seems that he will move south soon." When everyone arrived, Sun Ce was the first to speak. Half a year ago, Cao Cao defeated the three Yuan brothers. Cao Cao already dominated the entire Jiangbei area. It can be said that the entire northern land has been trapped in Cao Cao's urn, and it is only a matter of time before they are all recovered. "Cao Cao's power is great, but our Jiangdong's strength is still far behind it. What do you think?" After saying that, Sun Ce lowered his eyes and stopped talking. "My lord, although Cao Cao is powerful, he is surrounded by enemies just because of his great power. If Cao Cao can develop with peace of mind for a few years and consolidate the north, his chances of winning when he goes south will be greatly increased. The reason why he is so impatient to lead his troops south is that Because I am worried about Jingzhou and my Jiangdong, I want to severely damage my Jiangdong as soon as possible. Even though my Jiangdong's power is not as good as Cao Cao's, there is still no turmoil in the northern lands. Cao Cao's hasty move south has just given us an opportunity to take advantage of. If not Taking the opportunity to defeat Cao Cao's army in one fell swoop, and then eradicate Cao Cao, I am afraid that the world will fall into Cao Cao's hands sooner or later. Therefore, this battle is inevitable, so please make preparations early. " Zhang Zhao spoke first, and Cao Cao led his troops southward. For Jiangdong. Although it is dangerous, it is much better than Cao Cao stabilizing the north and then heading south. Nowadays, Cao Cao, Liu Qi and Sun Ce are each in their own way. Although Jingzhou and Jiangdong are not weak, there must still be a big gap between them and Cao Cao who is about to occupy the entire north. If Cao Cao did not raise troops to go south, I am afraid that not many people in the entire Jiangdong would stand up to persuade Sun Ce to go north, and Liu Qi, Gongsun Du and others would never unite to fight against Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao digests the entire north, who else will be his opponent. This is also the reason why Zhang Zhao repeatedly persuaded Sun Ce and Jingzhou to join forces to fight against Cao Cao. At this time, Jiangdong did not have the strength to fight against Cao Cao. As time goes by, this gap will only get bigger and bigger. "Zibu is right. Cao Cao is so powerful that we must guard against it. If we can't attack him head-on, it will be extremely detrimental to Jiangdong." Lu Su also stood up and cupped his hands. Although he didn't want to advocate a crusade against Cao Cao like Zhang Zhao, he agreed to cooperate with Jingzhou Liaison?Fight against Cao Cao. Not to mention the generals in Jiangdong, even Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others may not be able to make up their minds to go to war with Cao Cao, let alone the aristocratic families in Jiangdong. "My Lord, we should send someone to Jingzhou as soon as possible to discuss the alliance with Jingzhou." Zhou Tai and other generals also stood up and said. Within half a year, the voice of uniting with Jingzhou to fight against Cao Cao has spread throughout Jiangdong. Both generals and counselors have gradually accepted this fact. Even if some people disagree, they will not stand up to oppose it. This battle is related to the future of Jiangdong. With Sun Ce's character, he will never compromise with Cao Cao, so there is only one way to start a war. "Gong Jin, what do you think?" Sun Ce raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, then turned to look at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu had not said a word since the discussion. Seeing Sun Ce asking, Zhou Yu stood up and glanced at the crowd: "If you want to fight against Cao Cao, you must naturally unite with Jingzhou, but this time Cao Cao leads his troops south to target Jingzhou. I think Jingzhou should be more urgent than us about the alliance. Why are you so anxious? I think the envoy sent by Liu Qi is already on the way. What I need to do is to mobilize troops and prepare for the next war. " "Gong Jin is right, I want to build a waterway. We have an army of 100,000 and have stationed troops in Jiujiang to wait for the opportunity to contain Cao's troops. Except for the generals who stayed behind, all the rest of the army will follow me. This battle can only be won but not defeated." Sun Ce nodded and looked at the crowd. "Promise." Everyone knew that Sun Ce had made up his mind and immediately bowed to accept the order. "You can prepare as soon as possible. The army will set off in ten days." Everyone in the hall was the counselors and generals recruited by Sun Ce. Naturally, they wanted to go to the battle with Sun Ce. "My lord, is the army of one hundred thousand soldiers too large? I'm afraid the army's food and grass may be a little tight." After everyone left, Zhang Hong asked with a frown. Jiangdong's food and grass store for the one hundred thousand army may have been exhausted. "It doesn't matter. If we can't defeat Cao Cao in this battle and attack the north, I'm afraid we won't have a chance in Jiangdong. Rather than being trapped in Jiangdong, it's better to make a desperate move to completely open up the situation." Sun Ce shook his head. At this time, he had already calculated. Last time One Sima Yi suppressed tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, unable to advance even an inch. At that time, Sun Ce saw Jiang Dong's weakness. If he couldn't break out of the cage, Jiang Dong might just have to watch Cao Cao and Liu Qi develop. Cao Cao dominates the north and has huge power, while Liu Qi from Jingzhou just occupied Liangzhou half a year ago, which can be said to have opened the door to the north. Now he only has to guard a corner. "My lord is right. If I, Jiangdong, cannot take the opportunity to capture Runan and Jiujiang, I may never have another chance." Zhou Yu nodded, fully agreeing with Sun Ce's views. "In this battle, most of Cao Cao's troops will be restrained by Jingzhou. It is a good time to capture Jiujiang and Runan. If we can seize the opportunity to capture the two counties in one fell swoop, the land of Yuzhou and Xuzhou will be at our fingertips. That will be the time for me to flex my muscles in Jiangdong. ." Zhang Zhao nodded with great excitement in his eyes. "Zi Bu will stay in Wu County during this war and be in charge of all affairs in Jiangdong. Gong Jin, Zigang and Zijing, you all will follow me north." Seeing that no one objected, Sun Ce immediately ordered. "Nuo." have to update, thank you friends who have been supporting! !
