King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 522 United Jiangdong
"My lord! Sun Quan has sent a letter!" A very cautious voice broke the calm in Liaohou's mansion in Xuchang City, and made Li Lin, who was playing with his second daughter, stop his movements.

"Go! Go find your mother!" Li Lin patted the children's heads in fear, and stood up. Fang Fang had been waiting for a while with a letter.

Opening the letter sent by Sun Quan, Li Lin knew the content without even reading it. Sun Quan was defeated, and the dignified prince of the six counties and 81 states in the east of the Yangtze River was placed in the hands of Chen Deng. Li Lin was also puzzled, because there was Zhou Yu Is that intelligent character assisting?Sun Quan was defeated no matter what, but what Li Lin knew was that how long had he been sending letters to Sun Quan? Why would you write a letter to yourself?
Looking at the letter from Sun Quan, Li Lin smiled unabashedly, and threw the letter into Fang Fang's arms. Fang Fang quickly caught it, and looked at Li Lin suspiciously. Li Lin said slowly, "Take The letter, go and circulate it to several adults in the city, and everyone who wants to persuade Xuchang knows the content of this letter!"

"No!" Fang Fang cupped his hands and walked out.

Li Lin expected that it would not be bad. Sun Quan was indeed defeated. In the cold weather, it has snowed in Henan two days ago, but in the south of Jiangdong, it is still green. The gap is also very obvious. In winter, the princes in the north have no choice but to stop fighting, but there is no such problem in the south. It is not very cold in winter, and the army can still fight, even large-scale naval battles. Thinking of Chibi Didn't the battle happen at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter?

Because of the coming of winter, Li Lin was recuperating and stopped fighting with Cao Jun, but Sun Quan did not. Hearing the news of Cao Cao's death, it was half a month after Li Lin took Xuchang. Of course, the rumors Sun Quan heard were also the same. If you don't believe it, you have to confirm it again and again before you finally believe it. Cao Cao is dead, and died in the hands of Li Lin.

Cao Cao is dead, and Cao Jun will be in chaos. Not long after Sun Quan took over Jiangdong, when he was young, he stared at the huge pressure and questioning eyes to replace his elder brother, and inherited his father and brother's foundation. He desperately needs a big victory to prove himself , Jiangdong was originally troubled by Shanyue, and Sun Quan wanted to defeat Shanyue to prove that he was capable of inheriting his father and brother's inheritance, but Shanyue was a savage in the mountains. The former overlord of the Central Plains, his elder brother was about to attack Cao Cao, but unfortunately he returned without success and died unexpectedly.

Now that Cao Cao is dead again, isn't this just a chance for God to prove his ability?After Cao Cao died, Cao's army would surely be able to defeat them easily. The children of Jiangdong could then go north to Xuzhou and sweep across the Central Plains. The ideal is full. Sun Quan sent troops from Jiangdong to attack Guangling and vowed to kill Chen Deng to fulfill his brother's last wish.

The reality is the backbone. Zhou Yu has long seen that Sun Quan’s matter is not going to work. Although Cao Cao is dead, his power is still there. There is news that Cao Cao’s son, Cao Pi, has taken over Cao Cao’s position and controls the three armies. The first thing to do is Please Liu Biao, and Li Lin has already stopped fighting with Cao Jun to rest and recuperate. In this way, Cao Jun will have nothing to do in the north. If Sun Quan goes north to attack Cao, Cao Jun's full energy will be on Sun Quan's side. The Jiangdong navy is indeed unparalleled in the world, but if On land, the combat power is about the same as that of ordinary county soldiers. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time and energy to wipe out Shanyue.

How could Sun Quan be willing to listen to Zhou Yu's dissuasion, and Zhou Yu's position in Sun Quan's heart was very delicate, so the master of meritorious deeds must be suspected by the lord. We have to wait until Zhou Yu smoothed the mountains in the south and came back, and went north with Sun Quan to make contributions, but he was forgotten. Sun Quan, your kind, is the most rebellious time in modern times. Zhou Yu said so, but Sun Quan would not do it. , Immediately ordered that he personally lead the [-] Jiangdong Army, with Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai as the left and right vanguards, and Zhang Zhao as the joining army, and went north to attack Guangling.

As expected by Zhou Yu, Sun Quan fell into Chen Deng's plan and almost didn't even come over the Yangtze River. , Han Dang, Cheng Pu and other veterans went north to Daoqu'a to greet Sun Quan. They said they were welcoming, but in fact they just hurried to see if there was anything serious about Sun Quan.

But in Sun Quan's eyes, this is different. You have lost, and you rushed over in such a hurry, isn't this to see you digest it?After all, Sun Quan is still too young, young and energetic, and of course he can't become the future emperor of Soochow. Fortunately, Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong veterans sincerely serve the Sun family, otherwise Sun Quan would be able to support the six counties of Soochow.

Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan and saw Sun Quan's discouraged appearance, so he couldn't say a word. He is the lord, and Zhou Yu could only enlighten him, so he said to Sun Quan: "My lord! Although our army was defeated in the battle of Guangling, we lost a lot. Not much, the rear of Soochow Wu is as stable as Mount Tai, and I can still replenish soldiers and horses, but now Cao Jun is in chaos. Once Cao Cao dies, Cao Pi is only in his teens... How can a 13-year-old child save this corrupt situation? Don't look at the memorandum that Li Yuanjie has already stopped the army, as long as the weather gets warmer, he will definitely attack Cao's army aggressively, and then our army will go north to capture Xuzhou, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort, my lord, don't act too hastily!" I just said that Cao Pi was in his teens, but once Thinking, Sun Quan is the same, so Zhou Yu quickly changed his words.

Sun Quan was terrified by his defeat, so he had no choice but to listen to Zhou Yu's opinion first, and asked, "Gong Jin, our army's momentum has turned weak after a defeat, and Gu never thought that Cao's army still has such fighting power. ! Does Gongjin have a good strategy to deal with Cao Jun?"

Zhou Yu raised his eyes to look at Sun Quan, lowered his head, and said slowly, "My lord, Li Yuanjie, Marquis of Liao, sent you a letter, right?"

Sun Quan nodded, but said in an arrogant tone: "Hmph! Although Li Yuanjie sent me a letter and invited me to attack Cao Cao, he just attacked Cao's strongholds in Chaohu to distract Cao's attention. His tone was very arrogant. Don't take my Jiangdong disciples seriously!"

Zhou Yu was speechless, you think too much, my Jiangdong navy is the best, so I hope our army will go up along the waterway, and then attack Hefei and other places on both sides, but Sun Quan thinks that Li Lin is belittling him, If you insist on attacking Xuzhou, although Xuzhou is flat and the granary of the Central Plains, if you take it down, you will indeed get a lot of benefits, but if you take it down, how many troops will you have to disperse to defend Xuzhou? Come down, and an army of [-] can't defend Xuzhou.

Zhou Yu continued to persuade: "My lord, although Li Yuanjie's attitude is arrogant, what he said is true. Our army marched by land and water, and attacked Cao's Juchao, Linhu and other places from Chaohu Lake, and then attacked Hefei. Once in Hefei, the gate of Shouchun has opened. Our army can take advantage of the situation and sweep Huainan, relying on Hongze Lake, plot Xuzhou!"

Sun Quan immediately questioned: "Isn't this going to be a big circle? If Cao's army attacks from both sides, wouldn't our army be attacked from the left and right?"

Zhou Yu immediately said: "In this way, our army needs to cooperate with Li Lin. Li Lin's next step to attack Cao Jun will definitely attack Yanzhou and Qingzhou eastward, merge with Taishici, and go south, while our army goes north, inviting Li Yuanjie to attack Cao Jun , will definitely win a big victory!"

"This..." Sun Quan hesitated, and said, "Don't you want to beg you Li Yuanjie alone?"

Zhou Yu immediately said: "My lord, in order to achieve a great cause, why is it difficult to endure for a while?" He said in his heart, your brother Sun Ce can't bear it too much, which is why this situation is here!
"Okay!" Sun Quan is not stupid, since he wants a big fight, how can he pretend to be a grandson with Li Lin first?Immediately said: "I will personally write a letter to Li Yuanjie!"

"My lord is wise!" Zhou Yu immediately cupped his hands...

Sun Quan wrote a letter to Li Lin, which can be regarded as an alliance with Li Lin. Li Lin's publicity was also to deter the unrest in the city. Sun Quan joined forces with himself, totaling the Cao army. Possibly still an opponent.

In fact, Li Lin is also very happy to join forces with Sun Quan. Li Lin has already discovered that his soldiers in the Youliao army are no longer adapted to the climate in Henan. I have no resistance to the diseases in the south. I can only let them adapt to the environment first. Attacking Yanzhou in the east is considered to be at the same latitude and the climate is similar. After the family has a family, they will gradually adapt to it. There will be no major problems in the south.

In order to eliminate the harassment of Cao Jun and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Li Lin had to pull Sun Quan over, why not pull Liu Biao?Nonsense, Liu He and Liu Biao are both surnamed Liu, and Liu Biao wants to reconcile, so there is only one left. Look at how long Liu Bei has been under Liu Biao’s account just now. Mao Jie slightly tricked Liu Biao into Liu Bei’s huge suspicion. If he joins forces with Liu Biao, as long as Cao Jun uses some small tricks, both Liu Biao and Liu He will put tremendous pressure on him. Afraid that they would unite against him.

The alliance between Li Lin and Sun Quan really fell into Xun You's arms. After hearing the news, Xun You in Runan happily found Cao Pi and said with a smile, "My lord, I'm so happy!"

Cao Pi wondered: "Where does the joy come from?" Cao Pi only knew that it was a happy event when the Chinese New Year was coming, but his own father had just died and he didn't even have the body. Because he wanted to take over the great business, he couldn't be filial to Cao Cao. Yes, what the hell is going on!
