The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 245 Arriving in Wu County
"Sun Ce is extremely brave, and Zhou Yu has a good command of the army. These two are not easy to deal with, but the current target is Liu Biao. Now I have to go to Wu County first, and Xingba will escort me across the river."

"It's not a big problem, but I don't think the lord is leading many people. Do I need to arrange another escort to Wu County?" Gan Ning found that Li Yuan only brought 300 people with him from the Tiger Guard Camp. , but Jiangdong is not their own territory after all, it is safer to bring more people there.

Li Yuan shook his head, "No need, Sun Ce's character won't harm me, Xingba just needs to escort me across the river."

So Gan Ning used a warship to escort Li Yuan across the river. Gan Ning stayed by the river for a while, and went back together after Li Yuan came back.

It took Li Yuan more than ten days to come to Wujun. After Sun Ce captured Jiangdong, he established the government in Wujun. It was not until Sun Quan succeeded to the throne after Sun Ce's death that he established his capital.

At this time, Sun Ce was discussing military affairs with the lieutenants in the mansion. Although Jiangdong had just been pacified, he was impatient to attack Jingzhou to avenge his father.

"Brother Bofu, I'll be waiting to pacify Jiangdong. Is it a little hurry to attack Jingzhou now?" Zhou Yu didn't agree with Sun Ce's idea, so he tried his best to persuade Sun Ce.

"General Zhou Lang is right. My lord, the soldiers are tired now. It is more reasonable for us to rest for a while before attacking Jingzhou." Huang Gai also persuaded.

"You don't need to say too much. We have just pacified Jiangdong and our morale is high. We should go all out to attack Jingzhou. Moreover, our army is joining hands with Li Yuan's army. No matter how powerful Liu Biao is, he is no match for our army. Not long ago, I sent an envoy to meet Li Yuan. Agree on a date to send troops together, and I believe the envoy will come back soon."

Sun Ce has made up his mind. In fact, he is not a self-willed person, but he can't bear it any longer in order to avenge Sun Jian, because he has endured it for long enough.

Seeing that Sun Ce was so stubborn, everyone knew that it was useless to talk too much, so they stopped persuading him.

"Then let's discuss how to send troops." Zhou Yu sighed helplessly, pointing to the map and said, "Everyone, please see that when we agreed with Li Yuan to attack Jingzhou together, they attacked Jingbei, and we attacked Jingzhou." Jingnan, if things come to pass, we will divide Jingbei and Jingnan equally, so our army should focus on attacking Jingnan this time."

"Gong Jin, even so, but Xiangyang is located in Jingbei, and Liu Biao is in Xiangyang City. I have to kill Liu Biao myself to get rid of the evil spirit in my heart." Sun Ce had his own plan, "Jingnan is slightly stronger than Jingbei. On the weaker side, our army should go north to assist Li Yuan in attacking Jingbei after capturing Jingnan, and the last attack should be Xiangyang City. When Xiangyang is captured, I will personally capture Liu Biao alive!"

"Brother Bofu, although Jingbei is stronger than Jingnan, Li Yuan's army is also slightly stronger than our army. It may be that our army has not captured Jingnan after he captured Jingbei, not to mention that his character may not allow it. If we intervene in the affairs of Jingbei, if brother Bo Fu is really so persistent in killing Liu Biao, Li Yuan can hand over Liu Biao to our army after capturing Jingbei." Zhou Yu was more thoughtful, not as impulsive as Sun Ce.

"My lord, General Zhou Lang is right. Our army has already discussed with Li Yuanjun that one will attack Jingnan and the other Jingbei. If he suddenly intervenes in Jingbei, he may be dissatisfied and suspicious." Cheng Pu and others also agree with Zhou Yu suggestion.

"Since this is the case, do as Gong Jin said, and send an envoy to Xiapi to talk to Li Yuan about capturing Liu Biao alive. He is a man of extraordinary bearing and should agree to my request." Sun Ce had a very good impression of Li Yuan. I believe Li Yuan will not reject him.

At this time, a soldier outside the door came in and said: "My lord, Hussar General Li Yuan is asking to see you outside the door."

"What? Li Yuan is here?!" Everyone was surprised, because no one thought that Li Yuan would suddenly appear in Wu County, and Li Yuan came too fast. The envoy they sent to Xiapi hadn't returned yet. Li Yuan was one step ahead of the envoy, and this speed was really astonishing.

"Hahahaha, Li Yuan came so fast!" Sun Ce was very happy to hear that Li Yuan had arrived. He had a good relationship with Li Yuan, and Li Yuan helped him a lot. He was actually very grateful and missed him even after not seeing him for several years.

Not long after Li Yuan walked into the camp, Xu Zhu followed Li Yuan closely. After Li Yuan entered, he saw that Sun Ce's important generals were all there, and he couldn't help laughing: "I came in time, and there are so many people, you should They are discussing the matter of attacking Jingzhou."

"Hahahaha, that's right. General Li came in time. By the way, the envoy I sent hasn't returned yet. Why is General Li faster than my envoy?" Sun Ce was very curious about this.

"The envoy of the Bofu sect should be on a merchant ship. The boats from Lujiang to Jiangdong do not arrive every day, so he may be delayed because of this. But I came on a warship from Lujiang, so it is much faster than him." Li Yuan replied that the warships in Lujiang were much faster than ordinary merchant ships. After years of research and modification, the warships in Lujiang had improved a lot and were even more developed than those in Jiangdong and Jingzhou.

"I see. No wonder General Li came so fast." Sun Ce suddenly realized.

"Bo Fu, I came here for one thing today. I heard that you have pacified Jiangdong. I know that you are eager to avenge your father. It is expected that you will send troops to attack Liu Biao, so I came here to discuss with you about sending troops." Li Yuan explained. intention.

"General Li also knows me. I am indeed eager for revenge. I also want to take advantage of the opportunity of victory to attack Jingzhou and kill Liu Biao by surprise."

"No, no, although Liu Biao is not the master of great talent and general strategy, his advisers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang have good ingenuity. I think the story of Bo Fu's pacification of Jiangdong has already spread to Jingzhou, and they also know that Bo Fu has always wanted to They attacked Jingzhou and beheaded Liu Biao to avenge their father, so they have taken precautions against you, so it is difficult to succeed in raiding Jingzhou, and it is more appropriate for your army to adopt a steady and steady strategy."

Li Yuan knew that Jingzhou had been paying attention to Sun Ce's movements. Now that Jiangdong had been settled, Liu Biao must have realized that Sun Ce would send troops to invade. After all, the Kuai clan was not an idle generation, and he was the one who underestimated the enemy and suffered losses.

Zhou Yu frowned when he heard this, because what Li Yuan said was also what he thought, and now Liu Biao must have taken precautions, and Jingzhou's soldiers are abundant and well-fed, so they can succeed if they fight steadily. He didn't expect Li Yuan to think of this step, It seems that Li Yuan not only has a good understanding of Liu Biao's army, but also has certain opinions on them.

"What General Li said is in line with my wishes, Brother Bofu, the best strategy for our army is to fight steadily." Although Zhou Yu was very afraid of Li Yuan, but now that the two armies are joining forces, he cannot confront each other.
