Chapter 108

This man was Zhou Yu, who formally attended the meeting of Sun Jian's subordinates for the first time. Since Sun CE and Zhou Yu came back from Lujiang, sun CE directly recommended his sworn brother to Sun Jian. In fact, before that, Chen Ren and Sun Jian mentioned Zhou Yu's talent. Based on the principle of not wasting any labor force, Chen Ren insisted on putting Zhou Yu under his own hands.

However, after seeing Chen Ren's exploitation of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu by Chen Ren, Sun Jian rejected Chen Ren's proposal mercilessly. Instead, he directly appointed Zhou Yu as Zhonglang general to lead the army with sun CE. This was the first time that Zhou Yu participated in Sun Jian's military conference as Sun Jian's Ministry.

At this time, the sergeant was still answering Sun Jian's question: "Cao Cao got the support of the local aristocratic families in Xuzhou. First, in xiapi and Xiaopei, with the help of local aristocratic families, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren easily occupied the two cities. However, because Cao's Army wanted to block the news so as to attack Pengcheng secretly, the whole city was under martial law, so that our news could not be spread. Pengcheng was ordered by the Chen family of Xuzhou to open the gate of the city in the middle of the night, let Xiahou Dun into the city without permission, attack Tao Qian at night and some officials loyal to Tao Qian, which easily captured Pengcheng. "

Sun Jian fell directly on his seat and murmured: "how can this happen? How could this happen? "

"Zici! What do you think we should do? " Sun Jian interrupted Chen Ren and continued to observe Zhou Yu. Chen Ren looked back and saw Sun Jian looking at himself anxiously.

Chen Ren smiles, but doesn't answer Sun Jian. Instead, he turns his head and asks Guo Jia, "I don't know what's the best strategy for filial piety?"

Guo Jia had just loosened her frown, and obviously thought of a way. But when she saw Chen Ren's funny smile, Guo Jia also showed the same smile and asked Xun Yu on the other side: "Wen Ruo! Zici is asking you

Xunzi could not compare with Guo Jia. Looking at the smiles of Chen Ren and Guo Jia, he knew that both of them had their own ideas and were now making fun of themselves. Xun Yu was not angry and murmured: "not a son of man!" He turned his head and ignored them. Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu seem to have got a clue, but after all, the two future gods are still lacking in experience and wisely do not speak. As for Cheng Yu sitting at the end of the meeting, Chen Ren and others did not ask him about his plan. According to Cheng Yu's character, even if he thought of a countermeasure, he would not say it in such a public place. Instead, he would ask the snake department's people to give him a gift after the meeting.

Chen Ren and Guo Jia play guessing here, but they are worried about Sun Jian and a group of military generals. Sun CE, who is also at the bottom of the table, stealthily touches Zhou Yu who is sitting beside him and asks in a low voice, "Gongjin, do you know what the teacher and Mr. Guo think of?"

Zhou Yu gently shook his head. His experience was not much more than Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, but he only vaguely grasped the clue. Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at Chen Ren and Guo Jia with strange smiles. They were full of complexity. Since he was a child, he was called a genius. When facing Chen Ren and Guo Jia, he always felt that he had to slow down. This also made Zhou Yu feel very uncomfortable.

Naturally, Chen Ren and Chen Ren did not know Zhou Yu's complicated psychological activities. Seeing Sun Jian and others were really anxious, they no longer showed concern. Chen Ren made a gesture of invitation to Guo Jia. Guo Jia said to Sun Jian with a smile, "my Lord! My subordinates think that the Lord can immediately send troops to capture Guangling county and seize the territory south of Baima Lake in Xuzhou! "

"What?" Sun Jian and other people exclaimed in surprise, except Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Zhou Yu and Cheng Yu. Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang immediately showed a look of sudden enlightenment, while Xu Shu and Zhou Yu looked exactly like this. Only Cheng Yu still kept a smiling expression, which seemed to have been guessed.

"My Lord! Never Xu Sheng, who had just succeeded zumao in managing Jianye garrison, immediately hugged Sun Jian and said, "now that the east of the river has been settled, we must not start a war with Cao Cao!"

One side of the strange looking Chen Wu also got up and clasped his fist and said, "Lord! What Wen Xiang said is very true! Cao Cao's troops from the two prefectures went to Xuzhou, which shows that they are bound to win! However, in the early days of Jiangdong, if Guo joined the army, the number of troops would be a big problem. If there are more, Jiangdong can't guarantee it; if there are less, it will be useless! Guo's plan to join the army will not succeed! " After Chen Wu finished speaking, a group of civil and military officials followed suit.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Before Sun Jian expressed his opinion, there was a burst of laughter, which was made by Chen Ren and Guo Jia. Guo Jia said to Xu Sheng and others with a smile: "General Xu, General Chen, do you think that my proposal to send troops to Xuzhou is to fight against Cao Cao?"

Guo Jia said that when Xu Sheng and Chen Wu led the opposition to Fang Dun, he was confused. Even Sun Jian couldn't figure out what medicine Guo Jia was selling in this gourd. He was busy asking, "filial piety, now that Cao Cao has captured Xuzhou, if we are going to capture Guangling at this time, would it not be in direct conflict with Cao Cao? Isn't this war? "

"No, no!" It goes without saying that Chen Ren was the one who said this sentence. Chen Ren sat upright and said, "does your Lord remember that Cao Cao sent envoys to discuss matters concerning Xuzhou before?"

Sun Jian was stunned. He nodded subconsciously. Chen Ren continued: "I remember that Cao Cao's price was owned by Dongwu from the south of Baima Lake, isn't it?"Sun Jian nodded without thinking about it. Then he frowned and said, "although it is, we did not send troops to help Cao Cao attack Xuzhou? Do you remember it

Chen Ren said with a smile: "how can my subordinates not remember? And who said that we did not send troops to attack Xuzhou? Isn't that what we're talking about is "helping" Cao Cao attack Xuzhou Chen Ren pronounced the word "help" out of the accent.

At this time, a cadre of civil and military officials, including Sun Jian, understood Chen Ren's meaning of saying this, and could not help but despise their thick skinned. Obviously, Cao Cao got Xuzhou easily and wanted to share it with others, but he still said it was so magnificent.

"But will Cao Cao watch us take half of Xuzhou's territory like this?" It was Sun CE who asked the question this time. Now he is much more calm than when he studied under Chen Ren. At least he can think independently. Even Sun Jian looks at Sun CE with admiration after hearing his question.

This time, Guo Jia replied with a smile: "according to my opinion, this Cao Cao will not obstruct, I'm afraid he will take the initiative to give up these territories!" At this time, Guo Jiadun and others are full of water.

Looking at the puzzled eyes, Guo Jia continued the evil smile and said, "there are three reasons for this! Firstly, although Cao Cao succeeded in conquering Xuzhou with the help of Xuzhou aristocratic family, according to his character, he would never be a puppet controlled by Xuzhou aristocratic family. In a period of time in the future, Cao Cao would have to spend a lot of efforts to deal with these Xuzhou aristocratic families; secondly, although Cao Cao was powerful, Jiangdong was not weak, and now there are many heroes in the world It is impossible to declare war on us too early when the situation is not clear. Thirdly, some time ago, Yuan Shao annexed Liu Bei and once again coveted Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Qingzhou. Cao Cao's forced troops to take Xuzhou was totally unprepared. He was afraid that he would send his troops back to Yanzhou and Qingzhou to guard against Yuan Shao. How could he have the strength to resist Our army? "

As soon as Xu Chu patted his thigh, he laughed and said, "Mr. Guo said it really well. It's like putting Cao Cao in a sandbag and letting us fight! We might as well take the whole Xuzhou

Just after hearing Guo Jia talk about Liu Bei's death, Chen Ren couldn't help worrying about Zhao Yun. When he heard Xu Chu's words, he forced himself to say: "Zhong Kang's words are not right. If my lord really goes to Pengcheng, I'm afraid Cao Cao will really fight with us! Half of the land in Xuzhou is also a default boundary between the Lord and Cao Cao, which should not be excessive. What's more, the Lord's attitude towards the power of the aristocratic family is well known in the world. I'm afraid that it is not Cao Cao who will resist him most, but the Xuzhou aristocratic families. "

After listening to Chen Ren and Guo Jia's explanation, Sun Jian could not help nodding, and then raised his head and asked, "Zici, if in your opinion, it would be easy for the Marquis to send troops to take half of the territory of Xuzhou?"

"Not since!" It is Xun Yu who has never spoken. Although he is good at political strategy, he is also a first-class counselor. In Sun Jian's current group of advisers, I am afraid he is only inferior to Chen Ren and Guo Jia. Now that Chen Ren and Guo Jia have made it clear, Xunzi naturally figured out the relationship between them. He said, "although most of the Xuzhou aristocratic families are concentrated in the north, they will not sit back and watch us take over the southern territory of Xuzhou. I'm afraid it will be all kinds of obstacles."

Before Sun Jian and others asked questions, Chen renbian followed Xun Yu's words and continued: "therefore, this time, the Lord must be prepared for Xuzhou's troop deployment. Even Cao Cao will not obstruct our army in the open, but he will certainly trip up the obstacles secretly."

Sun Jian nods again, but Xu Sheng and other generals have shining eyes. According to Chen Ren and Guo Jia, Sun Jian must send troops next, and there must be a battle. Who doesn't expect a war! As soon as Sun Jian's name comes out, he stares at Sun Jian's name.

However, Sun Jian did not directly say who was to lead the troops. Instead, he continued to ask Chen Ren and others, "in your opinion, how to send troops and send generals?" As soon as Sun Jian's words were spoken, the heads of all the generals turned at the same time, and they all changed their eyes to Chen Ren's mouth.
