Chapter 177

Zhou Yu smiled and continued, "No strong backing! General Zhang's subordinates are brave and good at fighting, but they are too few! The people under Wancheng have sparse populations. Even if the general wants to expand his troops, it is hard to cook without rice! It is difficult to expand his troops! If a large army invades, what will General Zhang use to resist? If General Zhang's troops are besieged into the city, how long can the food and grass be used in Wancheng be supported? Haven't General Zhang thought about these things?"

"Ah! This..." Zhang Xiu was a little stunned when he heard this! Although Zhou Yu didn't say much, every sentence hit the nail on the head! Zhang Xiu had thought about these questions before! Zhang Xiu was also an ambitious and ambitious person, and he also wanted to participate in the battle for hegemony in the world! But because of his ability, he could only watch others fighting lively! Although this Wancheng is good, but now the population is too small, and Zhang Xiu is unable to recruit soldiers and expand his troops! If he had a large army, he would have started a war against the outside world long ago! Will he still stay in Wancheng? Although his subordinates are brave and good at fighting, they are just talking! Most of his subordinates are defeated by the Western Liang army, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Western Liang army were defeated in front of the Youzhou army! Not to mention his subordinates!

The food and grass reserves in Wancheng are not very sufficient! If his troops are besieged in the city, even if others don’t attack the city, he will not last long! It was a little better when Dong Zhuo was still there! This Wancheng was a strategic location. Dong Zhuo wanted to intervene in the Guandong area. This Wancheng was the fortress, but now Dong Zhuo is finished, and the Xiliang army is almost broken up! He is unable to support him at all! At this time, Wancheng has become a place of four battles! Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao are all around him, wanting to occupy Wancheng! And their strength is stronger than him! Maybe when will he be finished! In the eyes of these people, he is a remnant of the Xiliang army! And they all want to get Wancheng!

The more Zhang Xiu thought about it, the more scared he became. When he saw Zhou Yu's expression, he knew that this guy had an idea! So he respectfully said to Zhou Yu: "I don't know what General Zhou has? I am willing to listen carefully!" Zhou Yu was waiting for this sentence, so he smiled and said, "General Zhang, the reason why you can live in peace now is that the princes in the world are now united, and they are worried about each other, worried that after occupying Wancheng, they will be taken advantage of by others to take advantage of the situation! Therefore, General Zhang, you can hold this place now! Now there is Cao Cao around you.

, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and other forces! Liu Biao is old and may not have great ambitions and will pose the least threat to you, but Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are different! Especially Cao Cao, he is even more ambitious and is now using the emperor to command the princes. Although Yuan Shu is strong, the destruction period is not far away! When Cao Cao eliminates Yuan Shu, we Jiangdong and Jiangnan will bow to Cao Cao! At that time, how could Cao Cao allow you to still be in Wancheng? Cao Cao must have taken action against the general! At that time, even if General Zhang wants to live in a place, it will be difficult!"

After listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, Zhang Xiu was even more scared, so he hurriedly said, "Ah! If this is the case, what should I do? General Zhou, please give me advice!" Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "General Zhang can form an alliance with us Jiangdong! Watch and help each other! If one of our sides is attacked by the enemy, the remaining side will support each other unconditionally! In this way, Cao Cao will definitely be afraid of both of us! Worrying that one side will attack from behind, the other side will attack from behind! In this way, both of us can survive! General Zhang can also rest assured!" After hearing this, Zhang Xiu nodded, thinking that Zhou Yu's words were reasonable, so he formed an alliance with the Sun family and agreed to watch and help each other!

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief! Everything was done! This time, he could finally let go and do a big fight! So Zhou Yu brought the good news of a successful alliance with Cao Cao. He brought the good news of the court to grant Sun Ce the title of Wu Hou and the title of Marquis of Wu. He came to Shouchun where Yuan Shu was located and joined Sun Ce. Yuan Shu completely relieved himself of Cao Cao. Yuan Shu was relieved, so he handed over the imperial seal to Yuan Shu according to the method discussed with Sun Ce. Yuan Shu handed over his subordinates to Sun Ce part of his subordinates! Let him attack Liu Yao!

Of course, Yuan Shu is not an idiot, and it is impossible for him to hand over all his subordinates to Sun Ce! He would not fail to make any preparations for precautions! He only handed over more than 20,000 troops to Sun Ce, and sent his confidant subordinate Li Le as the military supervisor to join these troops. Most of the generals and officers of these troops were Yuan Shu’s confidants! In order to quickly take over Yangzhou and other places, he also believed that Cao Cao would not do anything to him, so he deployed most of his troops in the areas close to Yangzhou! The reason for his doing this was to take over these places as soon as possible after Sun Ce occupied these places! To put it bluntly, he wanted to use Sun Ce to let Sun Ce fight him! For this purpose, he almost fell into all his main forces! The southern part of Yuzhou where Yuan Shu and Cao Cao were bounded, and Shouchun, where Yuan Shu himself was, was all empty. What was really the only one who sent troops to do all his troops.

At this time, Yuan Shu was only thinking about the destiny of the Jade Seal, and was about to annex Liu Yao's Yangzhou. From then on, his strength increased greatly, then pilled Cao Cao and wiped out Liu Biao. Finally, he wiped out Liu Biao and dreamed of unifying the world. He didn't even think about his troops going out. Who would take care of his territory and all his troops, if all his troops were destroyed again, how could he come from the protection? However, since Yuan Shu couldn't consider it, he didn't listen to others' advice. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu naturally wouldn't remind him. Zhou Yu told Sun Ce to Sun Ce, and he rushed back to Jiangdong overnight, supervised the formation himself, and launched an attack with Sun Ce at the same time to attack Liu Yao.

Sun Ce is really amazing! He has now gained the power of military power, just like a dragon entering the sea, and can travel freely! Although he also knows that these are not his own for the time being, most of the generals and officials still belong to Yuan Shu, and he has most of Yuan Shu's troops behind him, but he is not worried at all. According to his and Zhou Yu's plan, these troops will become his own in the future! And Sun Ce believes that these soldiers are not idiots. It is better to follow this brave lord, or to follow Yuan Shu's idiot and arrogant lord!

After Sun Ce obtained the command of the army, he began to attack the Jiangdong station! For a time, the Jiangdong area was changing! At this time, the fleet Liu Bin finally arrived at the estuary of the Yangtze River. Liu Bin and dozens of followers began to board the land of Yangzhou! At this time, the Yangzhou area was still very backward and the population was not large. It was not the kind of economic and cultural center behind it, so although the environment was pretty good, it was relatively desolate!

When he arrived in Yangzhou, Chen Dao asked, "Lord! Where will we go first?" Liu Bin pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that there are two wise men in Jiangdong! One is Zhang Zhao, Pengcheng, whose courtesy name is Zibu; the other is Zhang Hong, who is Guangling, whose courtesy name is Zigang. Both of them have the talent of conquering the world. Because they avoided the war, they lived in seclusion in the Liyang area! Let's go to find them first!" Chen Dao is from Yuzhou. When he arrived in Youzhou, he joined the military system. Naturally, he didn't know much about the situation in Jiangdong area! And this time his mission was to protect Liu Bin's safety. As for where Liu Bin was going, he had no objection! So he nodded!

When Liu Bin saw this situation, he just smiled slightly, and then said to one of the followers around him: "Gu Lun, you are from Jiangdong, you should have heard of the names of these two people! Do you know where they are?" Gu Lun is a brother in Gu Yong's family! Since joining Youzhou, Gu Yong has also recruited some of his family's children to Youzhou to do things! Gu Yong's chair is a scholarly family, and most of them are scholars, and should be in politics! But Gu Lun is a special person. He doesn't like to go into politics, but is more interested in intelligence work! Since he arrived in Youzhou, he joined the Military Intelligence Bureau and engages in intelligence work. The main direction it is responsible for is the Yangzhou area. This time, Liu Bin's main inspection areas are Yangzhou and Jingzhou areas. Souyi Guo Jia sent him over! Ask him to assist Liu Bin!

After hearing Liu Bin's words, Gu Lun smiled and said, "Young Master! These two Zhangs are celebrities from Jiangdong. How could the villain have never heard of them? Although the villain has been away from Jiangdong for several years, he probably knows the residence of these two people! But if you are not satisfied with the young master, Zhang Hong is not easy to recruit Zhang Zhao! Please prepare for the young master!" Because Liu Bin wants to go on a secret tour and cannot reveal his identity, this time he traveled, he specifically asked these subordinates not to reveal his stuff when calling him! These subordinates thought about it and kept calling Liu Bin the young master! The young master's title is not only in line with Liu Bin's identity as a student who travels all over the world, but also in line with his age! Outsiders will not think that there is anything!

When Liu Bin heard Gu Lun say this, he smiled and said, "Oh! Is that true? Why do you say that?" Gu Lun thought for a while and said, "Young Master, Zhang Hong is from a poor family and is indeed a talented person! His family is poor, and I heard that there is only an old mother. If the young master goes to recruit him, he will have no scruples. Maybe he can be easily recruited by the young master! Even if he can't recruit him, it doesn't matter if the young master's identity is exposed! But Zhang Zhao is different! He used to be a noble family in Xuzhou. After moving to Yangzhou over the years, his family has become more and more prosperous! There are many children of the Zhang family watching in Jiangdong! When the young master goes to recruit him, he will definitely not give up his family business and follow the young master!"
