When Zhou Yu, who was in Yuzhou, learned about Xuzhou, Sun Ce had already led his men to conquer Jingzhou. At this time, Liu Biao relied on Kuai Yue's wisdom and Huang Zhong's bravery to successfully capture most of Nanjun. After the fall of the North, Liu Biao's first counterattack was successful.
At this time, Zhou Yu was more entangled, but fortunately, Zhou Yu understood the priorities of things very clearly, so although he knew that this was a good opportunity to capture Xuzhou, he hesitated and gave up. After all, Zhou Yu now joined Yuan Shu. Nowhere is the mastery fully consolidated.
As for those areas in southern Yangzhou, they were even beyond reach. Zhou Yu's plan to build a rear area steadily and steadily had not yet been completed, so he had to give up this great opportunity.
"Tzuyu, the Yuzhou family, and the next spring plowing will be left to you. I need to find a way to slow down the Yuan family." Zhou Yu sighed and warned Zhuge Jin.
During this period of time, relying on Zhuge Jin's lobbying, many aristocratic families were willing to support Sun Ce. Even if others did not express it explicitly, they no longer resisted Sun Ce's rule as before. As for the soldiers, Zhou Yu also began to reorganize and try to maintain an army of 200,000. The situation improves the combat effectiveness of the Yuzhou Legion.
"I will do a good job, but Gongjin, sometimes it's time to cut it off." Zhuge Jin nodded, and then said with a light expression.
"Alas, after all, he is a member of the Yuan Gong clan, and he has shown great kindness to Bo Fu. How could he be like this?" Zhou Yu shook his head. He didn't think so, but both Sun Ce and Yuan Shu were loyal people. Such actions would have a negative impact on the three of them. Relationships will be damaged to a great extent.
"That's not the case. It's just that sometimes it's better to block things than to block them. Gong Jin might as well think of other ways. Gong Jin must also know the reason why the Yuan family elders and I can't work together. In this case, it's better to find out the source." Zhuge Jin He said calmly, since the Yuan family can't stumble, then just turn them into his helpers.
"Having said that, it's really not easy." Zhou Yu said with a long sigh.
"On the contrary, this matter is very simple. Yuan Benzhu cannot reach Yuzhou. All we have to do is consolidate our strength and let the Yuan family see our strength. When the tree is big and its roots are deep, it will be too late for the Yuan family to react. What's more, Yuan Benchu of Jizhou may not be as expected by the Yuan family." Zhuge Jin said with a chuckle, he was not interested in suppressing others, he was only interested in how to strengthen himself.
"Okay, then I will follow their ideas first and let them understand that things are not as simple as they think." Zhou Yu was quite inspired when he heard the words, and a complete set of ideas emerged in an instant.
[When the Yuan family opens its mouth, it is the Yuan family, and when it is closed, it is Yuan Shao. In this case, let them understand the difference first. ] Zhou Yu silently stopped what he was doing and carefully considered the feasibility of the whole thing.
[Hmm, but I need to seize the opportunity and let the Yuan family boss do whatever he wants. It seems that I still need to hold him back first. ] Zhou Yu sighed silently.
Zhou Yu told Zhuge Jin a few words and then walked out the door. He needed to talk to the Yuan family. At least he couldn't conflict with Liu Bei now. This was not in the interests of Sun Ce and Yuan Shu. The so-called interests of the Yuan family were inconsistent with theirs. The interests do not overlap, so it is not possible now.
Although the elders of the Yuan family are said to have matured with age, there is still a huge gap compared to natural wizards like Zhou Yu. Although he can't stand Yuan Shu handing over the power of military affairs to Sun Ce, when Zhou Yu considers the interests from the perspective of the Yuan family as a whole, , these people are not stupid, they can only agree.
When Fazheng and Zhuge Liang arrived in Yanzhou, Liu Yan was building momentum for Lu Bu's return to the north and merged the state. He had invited many celebrities to express their views on the northern Bingzhou being invaded by the barbarians.
Before Liu Yan could propose that Lu Bu was willing to go north to attack the barbarians and quell the border troubles, many celebrities quickly began to respond. Then a group of idle celebrities actually started running around, calling on all the princes to put aside their prejudices and deal with the barbarians first.
What happened next did not follow the routine designed by Liu Yan at all. First, Chen Lin was the first to stand up and praise Youzhou Gongsun Zan for his great achievements in wiping out Wuwan Xianbei and clearing up border troubles, saying that Yuan Shao should not fight Gongsun Zan.
It is estimated that this uncle was also angered by Yuan Shao's behavior last time. He praised Gongsun Zan for how well he did in Youzhou and how great his achievements were in guarding the border. Although there was an element of bragging, it was really better than his record against the Hu people. The title of General White Horse is really stained with blood, and his record is real.
Chen Lin was the first to stand up, and soon a group of people responded to support Gongsun Zan. They criticized Yuan Shao verbally and writtenly. Han Fu died in the toilet for no apparent reason, and dirty people poured dirty water on Yuan Shao. In short, Yuan Shao began to have bad luck. .
However, there are those who praise and those who criticize. Liu Yu is not dead yet. After Chen Lin's praise spread to Chang'an, Liu Yu began to organize people to criticize Gongsun Zan. After all, Gongsun Zan's actions were indeed too cruel. As long as they are barbarians, they will be wiped out without any hair. In addition, Gongsun Zan has attacked the royal relatives and it is really not easy to exonerate.
Although some celebrities like the practice of "see a barbarian, kill a barbarian", some celebrities are more inclined to educate. From then on, the two sides started fighting directly. It is obvious that at this time, the question of who is right and who is wrong can basically be solved. Think it's a partisan fight.
On one side is the Iron-Blooded Faction led by Chen Lin and Xu Qian, and on the other is the Enlightenment Faction led by Liu Yu and Kong Rong. Naturally, the best debater of the Iron-Blooded Faction is Chen Lin herself, and the strongest troll of the Enlightenment Faction is Mi Heng.
In fact, looking at the lineup, we can see that the combat effectiveness of both sides is actually only half the same. At this time, they will definitely not change their tune. One side supports Gongsun Zan, and the other side angrily denounces Gongsun Zan. As a result, Lu Bu has nothing to do. Liu Yan was immediately dumbfounded. Chen Lin and Kong Rong also planned to have a debate, and planned to let Liu Yan provide the venue and serve as the referee.
Naturally, as long as Yuan Shao is not stupid at this time, he will definitely not take Gongsun Zan's attention. If Gongsun Zan is killed at this time, both sides will definitely regard Yuan Shao as an attack target. It would be strange not to be hacked to death. Among these celebrities, the historian, Qingliu, and hard-working person The variety is complete, and all of them are offended. This group of celebrities who control their tongues will definitely not mind blackmailing Yuan Shao in the history books.
It is said that in addition to the debate group, the Iron-Blooded Sect and the Enlightenment Sect also have actual combat groups, such as Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu before. Naturally, among the celebrities fighting this time, there are also some who are too lazy to conquer the opponent with eloquence. Some guys directly picked up their own equipment and prepared Find a place to practice it, and then slap it in the face with the facts. (To be continued.)
