    Chaisang.

    The calm river flows slowly eastward. Under the shade of a big tree by the river, Zhou Yu is playing the piano.  Accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano, Xiao Qiao is dancing.

    ??The green trees are shady, the grass is bleak, the birds are chirping, and the flowers are fragrant.

    After the song and dance stopped, Xiao Qiao moved lightly on her lotus steps and came to Zhou Yu.

    "Xiao Qiao, take a rest quickly!"

    "Husband, I'm not tired." Xiao Qiao poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yu herself and handed it over with both hands.

    Zhou Yu picked up the tea and took a sip.

    ¡°My husband¡¯s music is not steady, what¡¯s on your mind?¡± Xiao Qiao asked carefully as she snuggled into Zhou Yu¡¯s arms.

    "Alas!" Zhou Yu sighed, "My lord did not listen to my words and insisted on letting Liu Cong go, creating a powerful enemy for me in Jiangdong!"

    "Husband, isn't Liu Cong an ally of our Jiangdong? How could he become an enemy again?" Xiao Qiao was a little confused. Everyone knew that Jiangdong and Jingzhou were in alliance, and now the princess Sun Shangxiang is married to Liu Cong.  The talented man and the beautiful woman, the dragon and the phoenix appear auspicious, and it has become a good story.

    "Xiao Qiao, you don't understand." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Now the Han Dynasty is no different from the Warring States Period. Now Cao Cao is powerful, so we formed an alliance. But once Cao Cao is unable to go south, what does the alliance mean? Today's alliance  , it is normal to send troops tomorrow. However, my lord takes the alliance so seriously. In this world where heroes are fighting for hegemony, you will suffer a big loss! How can you not be kind and not command troops?"

    "Husband, I have a strong army in Jiangdong and can defeat Cao Cao's million-strong army. How can I be afraid of Jingzhou?" Xiao Qiao didn't understand. In her mind, Zhou Yu was the number one hero in the world, unrivaled.  As long as her husband Zhou Yu is here, Jingzhou is nothing.

    "Jingzhou Liu Cong, everyone has got it wrong!" Zhou Yu looked at the river with a blank look on his face, "I saw a kind of iron-blooded heroism in him, very similar to Brother Bo Fu back then. But even more than Bo Fu.  My brother is more wise and shrewd. He is just like a fierce tiger. If the master lets the tiger return to the mountain, he will be eaten by the tiger one day!"

    "Thenhusband, why don't you remind my lord?"

    "Remind? Yes, I should remind my lord!" Zhou Yu immediately stood up, "Zhou Shan, you immediately send the Nanyang battle reports I compiled to Marquis Wu!"

    "No!"

    Soon, Sun Quan of Yuzhang received the Nanyang battle report from Zhou Yu.  After reading it from beginning to end, he was shocked and immediately summoned Bu Zhi, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, Lu Fan, Lu Xun and others.

    Bu Zhi, Gu Yong, and Lu Fan have always been Sun Quan's confidants. When Zhou Yu was away, they were called upon to discuss military matters.

    Zhuge Jin made great achievements in putting down the Shanyue rebellion last time, and also let Sun Quan see his talent.  When Lu Xun was ordered to defeat the defeated army in Jianye, he confronted Xu Huang and Zhang Liao and showed his outstanding military talents, which Sun Quan admired very much.

    After several people arrived, Sun Quan showed them the information sent by Zhou Yu.

    The whole world was paying attention to the Battle of Nanyang. Naturally, they got some news and were a little surprised by Cao Cao's defeat.  But the specific process is definitely not as detailed as the information from Tianyan.

    After everyone read it, their faces were filled with expressions of surprise.

    "My lord, Jingzhou today is much stronger than during Liu Biao's time. In time, it will definitely become a problem for us!" Zhuge Jin broke the silence.

    "Xu Huang did a wonderful job of inducing the tiger to leave the mountain, but Liu Cong's strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao was not only wonderful, it was downright crazy!" Lu Xun was familiar with military tactics and knew how to achieve a surprise victory with the right combination, but he was also shocked by Liu Cong's boldness.  "With five thousand soldiers and horses, we dare to cross the inaccessible Feihu Mountain and go deep into Yuzhou. No one else would dare to do this kind of conspiracy!"

    "My lord, now in the north, Cao Cao has heavy troops in Wancheng and Guanglingtun, and in the west, Liu Cong has heavy troops in Jingzhou and Changshatun. We in Jiangdong are trapped in the middle, and it is difficult to use it!" Bu Zhao was full of worry.

    "Liu Cong, Cao Cao!" Sun Quan regretted a little at this time. If he had listened to Zhou Yu and not let Liu Cong go, wouldn't he have lost a powerful enemy?

    But now, what¡¯s the point of saying this?

    "Don't worry, my lord, now that Cao Cao is defeated and Liu Cong captures Yique Pass, the cavalry can reach Xuchang in a blink of an eye. Therefore, Cao Cao will inevitably withdraw some troops from Wanxian and Guangling, and then we will have a chance!"  Lu Xun looked calm at this time.

    "Does Bo Yan mean to seize Wancheng and Guangling?" Sun Quan seemed unsure.

    In the last battle of Hefei, he led an army of 50,000 and was defeated miserably.  If Lu Xun hadn't turned the tide and Liu Cong sent troops to Nanyang, the consequences would have been disastrous.

      "Although Cao Cao withdrew his troops, he still has the ability to hold on. It will be difficult for us to capture Wancheng or Guangling!" Zhuge Jin shook his head.

    The front line in Jiangdong is too long and the troops are too few.

    "My lord, the opportunity I mentioned is in the south!" Lu Xun said with a smile.

    "Jiaozhou?" Bu Zhi, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin and others said almost at the same time.

    "Yes, Jiaozhou!" Lu Xun nodded, "Lai Gong, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, were at odds with each other, and they had deep grudges. A month ago, Lai Gong sent troops to attack Wu Ju. However, Wu Ju had conflicts with the local wealthy gentry.  Together, with the help of brothers Shi Xie and Shi Yi, we actually have the upper hand. If my prediction is correct, Lai Gong will be defeated in a month, and by then, Wu Ju will also be at the end of his powerful crossbow!"

    "Bo Yan is right!" Bu Zhao looked very excited, "Lai Gong, the governor of Jiaozhou, was appointed by Liu Biao. Wu Ju and Shi Xie also have no official documents from the court. Their names are not correct and their words are not smooth. We just sent troops to quell the chaos!"

    As for Jiaozhou, Sun Quan had long wanted to get involved.  However, there are strong enemies outside Jiangdong and dangers of mountain climbing inside, so we really don't have the strength.

    Now that Shanyue has been pacified, Cao Cao has just been defeated by Nanyang. Although Liu Cong won, he desperately needs to recuperate.  Therefore, now is the best time to send troops to pay homage to the state.

    "Okay, then we will send troops to hand over the state!" Sun Quan changed from his decadence and looked very excited.

    "My lord, the general is willing to lead his army to attack Jiaozhou!" Bu Zha immediately asked for battle.

    "My lord, the general thinks that we can divide our troops into two groups, attack Cangwu, Hepu, Nanhai and other counties on the east side, attack Jiuzhen, Yulin, Rinan and other counties on the west side, and finally join forces with Jiaozhi to capture all of Jiaozhou.  !" Lu Xun has obviously thought of a strategy.

    "How many troops and horses are needed?"

    "Ten thousand soldiers and horses on each route are enough!"

    "Okay!" Sun Quan stood up, "Yuan Tan, when will the 20,000 soldiers, horses, grain, grass and weapons be ready?"

    "It takes twenty days!" Gu Yong thought for a moment and said.

    "Lu Xun, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, with Ding Feng, Xu Sheng, and Quan Cong as generals. You will lead an army of 10,000 to attack Jiaozhou!"

    "No!"

    "Bu Zhao, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army. Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Ling Tong will be the generals. You will lead an army of 10,000 to attack Jiaozhou!"

    "No!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
