After Sun Ce realized the seriousness of the situation, he immediately sent troops eight hundred miles away to send military orders to Xuzhou to ask Sun Quan to withdraw his troops. Immediately afterwards, at Zhou Yu's reminder, out of caution, Sun Ce sent nine more cavalry, a total of ten people, rushing to the Xuzhou front line from different routes. Everyone carried the same letter, and they must ensure that no matter which side If something goes wrong, the news will reach Sun Quan!
At the same time, Sun Ce also temporarily stopped his invasion of Jingzhou. The main force of Jiangdong Army is reorganizing in Jiangxia, beginning to stabilize the rear, and slowly digesting the gains made in recent times. Zhou Yu has a saying that is right, 'Haste makes waste'. Sun Ce was the kind of character who would go crazy once a fight started. Fortunately, Zhou Yu was always there to remind him, so he could wake up in time. As long as he has a firm foothold in Jiangxia, it is equivalent to completely opening the door to Jingzhou. In the future, Sun Ce can conquer Jingzhou at any time.
So now, in order not to irritate Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the north, it is best for Sun Ce to do nothing. Not only does he not do anything, but Sun Quan who is far away in Xuzhou can also do nothing. In a word - lurk! All we need to do is wait for an opportunity, wait for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to start a complete war, wait for the two of them to fight fiercely and have no time to care, and then quickly attack, with lightning speed, quickly capture Jingzhou and even Xuzhou, and then, again With an absolutely strong attitude, he intervened in the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
This is Zhou Yu's strategy. No matter how bad it is, it is still a plan to divide the world. Of course, the premise of all this is that Sun Quan in Xuzhou needs to stop in time.
But, can things really go as smoothly as Zhou Yu imagined? Can ten military orders really make Sun Quan stop?

Huainan River Basin,
Since Yuan Shu's demise, although it has been nominally under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong, neither Sun Ce nor Sun Quan obviously put their thoughts on this area. Therefore, today's Huainan area has countless rogue bandits, which can be considered quite chaotic.
A fast horse was riding across the plain at high speed. The man and the horse were exhausted. He and the horse were running for who knows how long. Suddenly, a hidden arrow flew towards him without warning. The man on the horse was already awakened, but his reaction was too slow due to fatigue. Although he managed to avoid the vital point in the end, he was shot directly from the horse. Falling.
"What thief dares to intercept someone from the Sun family!"
After falling off the horse, the man immediately raised his voice and shouted. At the same time, he took out a token from his arms and raised it high. There was a big "grandson" engraved on it. In today's South, there is no other name that is more useful than this word. It is better to provoke the Lord of Hell than to provoke the Sun family. Normally, even a group of desperadoes would choose to stop at this time. Unfortunately, today, the Sun family man encountered more than just desperadoes.
There was no sound, and the only answer to him was the sharp daggers of several men in black. As soon as these men in black appeared, they beheaded the poor horse and blocked the way back so that no one could escape.
Seeing this, the son of the Sun family probably also knew that he might not be able to fly today, but there were no cowards in the Jiangdong Army. Even if he died, he would have to take a few people on his back.
In the end, there was no accident. Two fists were no match for four hands. Soon, a pool of blood and a cold corpse were left on the scene.
The man in black groped for a while on the body and found a letter from it. When he opened it, he was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and quickly left with the other men in black.
However, before the group of people had gone far, another round of hidden arrows suddenly shot out. The mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole followed, and the murderer could not escape the fate of being killed. Not long after, these men in black turned into several cold corpses.
The confidential letter just now changed its owner again in a short period of time, and finally fell into the hands of a woman.
"Your Majesty, those men in black should be Cao Cao's people as expected. However, Cao Cao was too cautious, and no representative marks were found on the corpses." One person handed over the letter respectfully.
Dou Yuru took the letter with one hand and smiled coldly.
"What's the point of being cautious? In a place like this, apart from us, Cao Cao is probably the only one who dares to kill the Sun family."
While speaking, Dou Yuru opened the letter and quickly scanned the contents, then her eyes flashed.
"For such an important matter, it is impossible for Sun Ce to send only this one person. Although we cannot stop everyone, it is always possible to hinder them a little bit." Dou Yuru suddenly smiled, "Give me the order, to the west of Huaiyin City An ambush has been set up on the official road in the south. Anyone who sends a message will be stopped by me. I would rather kill the wrong one than let one go!"
"yes!"
After everyone here retreated, Li Shu, one of the four elders of the Demon Sect and now the prefect of Lujiang, poked his head out from behind.
"Sect Master, this will probably be quite detrimental to the situation of the Sun family, right?" Li Shu said.
Dou Yuru glanced at Li Shu,
"If you think so, why didn't you stop me just now?"
Li Shu grinned and replied,
"I think the sect master must have some intention in doing this."
"Although we are now dependent on Sun Ce, the Sun family's journey is really smooth. If we don't cause them some trouble, don't let them encounter some difficulties, they won't think of us. Only if the Sun family relies on us, I will Only then can the sect grow stronger and rise!" Dou Yuru said.
Li Shu immediately rushed to Dou Yuru and raised his hand.
"The sect leader is still far-sighted." He said, his voice changed, "But no matter how many messengers we intercept, Sun Quan must really be able to capture Xiapi, right?"
"We can help him in this matter." Dou Yuru said suddenly.
"Far water can't save nearby fire. Xiapi is too far from here, and we don't have many internal agents around Lu Bu. How can we help?" Li Shu couldn't help but ask.
Dou Yuru turned to Li Shu,
"Don't you still have some people on hand? Send them out to wander in the direction of Xudu to give Cao Cao a warning and slow down Cao Cao."
Li Shu's face changed slightly, and he immediately lowered his head and said yes. It seems that his secret recruitment of troops was not hidden from this woman's eyes.

Huaiyin,
Sun Quan is not Sun Ce's character who can't hold back once a fight starts, but Sun Quan has one of his biggest shortcomings. Of course, this is often regarded as an advantage by Sun Quan, that is, as a time traveler, Sun Quan has many Preconceived ideas.
Looking at the big picture? It's not that Sun Quan didn't have it. However, Sun Quan, who was preconceived and subconsciously believed that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would have a battle, did not realize what a huge impact his attack on Xiapi at this time would have on this era.
Therefore, when An Shigao's lecture on Buddhism in Huaiyin was widely publicized, Sun Quan believed that the time was ripe and immediately took military action and sent troops to Xiapi.
Few people could have imagined that just a few days after Sun Quan captured Huaiyin, he would immediately send troops north again. It can be said that even without the "help" of Demon Sect Dou Yuru, Sun Ce's ten military orders would not have had time to reach Sun Quan.
At this time, Sun Quan only had one idea - to capture Xiapi and kill Lu Bu! Moreover, he had to get it before Cao Cao.
