Yes, I was scared!
The officials in Jiangdong headed by Zhang Zhao did not understand Sun Quan's decision at best. But while Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes were puzzled, they had to forcefully interpret Sun Quan's intentions. With Jiangdong's current strength and size, if we don't understand Sun Quan's true thoughts, if we are not sure of Sun Quan's next strategic direction, everyone will have trouble sleeping and eating!
Yecheng,
boom!
"This damn Sun Quan!"
With the cultivation and good temper that Yuan Shao has always displayed, he couldn't help but throw the table this time.
"I don't even want to compete with him in Jingzhou, but now Xuzhou is even wanted to rob me. The appetite of this Sun family kid must be too big!"
There is no God's perspective in this world, and most people make subjective assumptions. What is subjective? When a thief steals something and sees a policeman on the street, he will wonder if the police are here to arrest him. The same is true for Yuan Shao today. Yuan Shao had just mobilized his troops and wanted to steal Xuzhou. But at this time, news came from Jiangdong that Sun Quan had not gone to the front line. He sent Zhou Yu to the Jingzhou front line, while he stayed in Jiangdong.
What was Sun Quan's purpose for doing this? Does the current Jiangdong base camp still need him to personally take charge of stabilizing the overall situation? When you are young and the world is uncertain, you can't just start being lazy and enjoy your life, right? Therefore, Sun Quan must have other plans!
What kind of? Judging from the geographical location, Sun Quan is either plotting against Cao Cao, or he wants to take back Xuzhou!
Everyone knows that Cao Cao has been used by Sun Quan to contain Yuan Shao. It would be absolutely unwise for Sun Quan to start a war with Cao Cao at this time. Therefore, Sun Quan can only plot against Xuzhou!
Morally speaking, Xuzhou was lent to Liu Bei by Sun Quan, and Sun Quan had reason to want it back. In terms of the situation, Liu Bei suddenly attacked Cao Cao not long ago, which almost ruined Sun Quan's plan. Now that Sun Quan has freed up his hands, it is entirely possible that he will come to destroy Liu Bei, an uncertain factor.
In addition, Yuan Shao's deployment of troops and generals may have been noticed by Sun Quan. Naturally, Sun Quan was unwilling to lag behind others, so that Yuan Shao took the lead.
Based on this analysis, can Sun Quan's "real thoughts" be concealed? No wonder Yuan Shaohui was so angry.
"Lord, Sun Quan has sent Zhou Yu to lead a heavy army to Jingzhou. He may not have many people here in Xuzhou." Shen Pei stepped forward to remind him that the Jiangdong front was now extremely stretched, and Sun Quan was fighting on both sides. It will definitely be stretched. Therefore, this is probably Sun Quan's bluff, and Jiangdong's army is not as powerful as imagined.
"For Sun Quan, he doesn't need to actually capture Xuzhou now. He just needs to scare us so that we don't dare to act rashly and stabilize the situation in Xuzhou. Once there is progress in Jingzhou, Sun Quan will win completely. I believe that by then, Sun Quan will really capture Xuzhou!"
"So, what you mean is that we should ignore Sun Quan and continue to attack Xuzhou as planned?" Yuan Shao asked.
As a result, before Shen Pei could say anything, Guo Tu suddenly said,
"Lord, please be careful! The most terrifying thing about Jiangdong today is that they have completely controlled the Yangtze River Basin. Even if the main force of the Jiangdong Army is now in Jingzhou, if necessary, they will transport troops down the river to the east. Unexpectedly fast! The art of war is all about imaginary and real. Sun Quan is good at using troops. If we take it for granted that he did not leave a large number of troops in Xuzhou, we will definitely suffer a big loss!"
"That's right." Xin Ping on the side said, "As we all know, Liu Biao has been guarding Xiangyang and did not dare to attack. Sun Quan really does not need to send too many troops to Jingzhou. According to our scouts, Sun Quan was in charge of the battle in Jingzhou, but Cheng Pu advocated peace. This time, Sun Quan deliberately mentioned Zhou Yu to the same status as Cheng Pu. His subordinates speculated that Zhou Yu was probably going to replace Cheng Pu! By then, Zhou Yu would take over the Jingzhou battlefield, and Cheng Pu would lead his troops to Xuzhou. Only then He is what Sun Quan calls the left and right governors!"
I have to say that Guo Tuxin's analysis is quite reasonable, and Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly. Seeing that something was wrong, the judge couldn't help but said,
"Lord, if this is the case, then we have to send troops even more! Do we have to watch Xuzhou fall into the hands of Sun Quan again?!"
"Once Sun Quan also intervenes in Xuzhou, the outcome cannot be determined in a short while. If Sun Quan is dragged in Xuzhou, what should we do if Cao Cao attacks us?" Guo Tu asked Shen Pei in return.
"Then in your opinion, Xuzhou has been handed over to others?" Shen Pei also glared at Guo Tu and asked unceremoniously.
Seeing the two people quarreling with each other and getting more and more heated, Yuan Shao immediately interrupted.
"Stop talking! I want your advice, not to listen to your arguments! Fengji, do you have any suggestions?" Yuan Shao turned to the other side. He had many capable people, not just Guo Tu and Shen Pei, who took the initiative When asked about Fengji, Yuan Shao also wanted to beat the two of them.
Feng Ji, who was named, could only bite the bullet and step forward, thought for a while and said,
"My Lord, we may be able to lure Cao Cao to Xuzhou to compete with Sun Quan."
"How dare Cao Cao fight with Sun Quan?" Yuan Shao couldn't help asking.
"It's so cold!" Feng Ji explained, "Once Sun Quan captures Xuzhou and Jingzhou, Cao Cao will be next! We can make a truce with Cao Cao first and make an appointment with him to attack Liu Bei together. As long as our army blatantly moves to Here, Cao Cao dare not not move along."
"That makes sense!"
????????????
Xudu,
"Sun Quan's appointment of Zhou Yu really surprised many people. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he has no generals available," Cao Cao said.
"Lord, don't underestimate Sun Quan!" Xun Yu took the initiative to speak, "According to my subordinates' opinion, Sun Quan's move is not only extraordinary in courage, but also directly mobilizes all the power of Jiangdong!"
"What's the explanation?"
"In fact, after the entire family of Gui Lan was wiped out, although no one in Jiangdong dared to disobey Sun Quan, it does not mean that those people have truly returned home. It is possible for them to work hard and not contribute, or even to do nothing." Xun Yu said, "But now, Sun Quan has activated Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's minister. The previous ministers in Jiangdong all refused to listen to Sun Quan's command in the name of supporting Sun Ce, so now Sun Quan directly sacrifices Zhou Yu and suppresses Sun Ce's banner. Come out so that those people can no longer find excuses. My subordinates speculate that most of the soldiers Zhou Yu brought to the front this time are probably from these families!"
Xun Yu's words made Cao Cao and others' expressions change.
"In other words, Sun Quan now has more available soldiers?!"
"In addition, Wu Jing retired, and his troops stationed in Xuzhou are now all under the personal control of Sun Quan. As expected, Sun Quan will definitely move Xuzhou!"
"What should we do? We can't just watch Sun Quan occupy Xuzhou, right?"
"When that day comes, the powerful Jiangdong no longer needs our help to contain Yuan Shao, Sun Quan's next target will definitely be Xu Du!"
