Sun Jian thought for a while and turned to look at Zhou Yu. "Gongjin, what about your opinion?"

Zhou Yu bowed slightly and said slowly: "It is not necessary to rush to draw conclusions whether to attack Fancheng or reinforce Caizhou. Caizhou is only a few miles away. At the latest, the grain will be transported to the camp tomorrow morning. It will not be too late to make a decision after asking clearly."

Sun Jian nodded. "Gongjin is still thinking carefully, and I think so too." He waved his hand. "You continue."

"The strategy of Captain Sun's reinforcement of Caizhou is to be a successful country. Regardless of whether Bo Fu's losses are great, after this battle, Liu Biao must attach importance to Caizhou. At the least, he will send troops to guard the enemy, and at the worst, he will send troops to siege him. With Bo Fu's only two thousand people, there may be more than enough, and the battle will be insufficient. Once they are trapped in Caizhou, the task of Cheng and Han may be affected."

Sun Ben was very satisfied, but Wu Jing's face was a little unfair.

Zhou Yu continued: "If the strategy of Sun's commander is based on guard, then the strategy of Wu's commander is based on attack. Attacking Fancheng and forcing Liu Biao to divide his troops to look east is also a good strategy that is in line with military strategy."

Wu Jing turned angry and nodded repeatedly.

Sun Jian was secretly happy. The children of this aristocratic family could speak and did not offend any of them. In this way, it would be justified that he wanted to increase his troops to Caizhou. He coughed and pretended to be unhappy. "Then tell me, are we reinforce Caizhou or attack Fancheng?"

"General, the two can be parallel and not contradictory. Send troops to reinforce Caizhou, continue to threaten the right wing of Xiangyang, and advance to Fancheng, forcing Liu Biao to not look east and take a two-pronged approach. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Although Fancheng is small, it is quite strong. If it attacks strongly, the losses will definitely be quite large. If it can lure the Xiangyang defenders out of the city and cause severe damage in the field, Fancheng will be destroyed without attacking, and Caizhou will be safe."

Sun Jian flashed his mind, suddenly realized, and laughed. "Haha, Yuanming, Boyang, do you understand? Gongjin's plan merged the ideas of you two into a furnace, which is a natural success."

Wu Jing and Sun Ben looked at each other. They didn't hear Zhou Yu's specific arrangements and didn't know what's the point. But they knew very well that Sun Jian's ability to use troops was much stronger than theirs. Sun Jian said it was good, that must be really good. They didn't understand that it was their problem, not Zhou Yu's problem.

"Gongjin, tell me in detail." Sun Jian saw the faces of Wu and Sun in his eyes and gave Zhou Yu a wink.

"Here." Zhou Yu bowed and said his plan. He reinforced Caizhou, but did not give too many people. While Sun Ce defended Caizhou, he also gave Liu Biao the hope of conquering Caizhou and lured Liu Biao out of the city to fight. He attacked Fancheng, but did not do his best. While restraining Liu Biao, he maintained the ability to switch to Xiangyang at any time. Once Liu Biao left the city, he immediately transferred the target of attack and annihilated Liu Biao's main force in the field.

Zhou Yu's plan not only integrates the opinions of Sun Ben and Wu Jing, but also improves it. Reinforcements of Cai Zhou and attacks Fan Cheng are both empty. The decisive battle with Liu Biao outside the city is the real killer move. Sun Jian understood the wonderfulness, so he applauded when he heard it. Although Sun Ben and Wu Jing reacted a little slower, after Zhou Yu's explanation, they also understood it. They couldn't help but feel convinced and secretly sighed.

The children of this aristocratic family are unique. They have such abilities at such a young age and their future prospects are limitless. Sun Ce will not be able to win a single movie for too long. The elderly should change their minds as soon as possible and should not ignore Sun Ce's existence.

——

The next morning, the grain was transported to the camp, and more than a thousand young and old people from the Cai family came with the grain.

Sun Fu, who was in charge of transporting food and grass, rushed to the central army tent and reported to Sun Jian. Sun Jian was both surprised and happy when he learned about the entire process of Sun Ce's attack on Caizhou. What was shocked was that Sun Ce was so brave that he was almost risky. What was happy was that Liu Biao, as Sun Ce expected, did not send troops to support Caizhou, allowing Sun Ce to easily control Caizhou, and the losses were almost negligible.

Sun Fu immediately reported that Sun Ce wanted to slaughter Cai Zhou, but now he disagrees with his marriage to Cai Ke, so he asked Sun Jian to make the decision.

Sun Jian was a little unhappy. Sun Ce broke through Caizhou. Sun Fu had not made any contribution, but wanted to marry Cai Ke. It would be fine if he took advantage of it. He also told Sun Ce that Sun Fu was not doing this. He was about to scold Sun Fu, but Zhou Yu pulled his sleeve from behind. Seeing this, Sun Jian swallowed the words to his mouth and patted Sun Fu on the shoulder.

"Let's do this, go and ask your brother to see what his opinion is. If he supports you in marrying Cai Ke as his wife, it will be useless even if Bo Fu disagrees."

"Here." Sun Fu was overjoyed, bowed, hurried out of the camp, and rushed to Sun Ben's camp in Fancheng.

After Sun Fu left the camp, Sun Jian said in a muffled voice: "Gongjin, what is Bo Fu doing?"

Zhou Yu advised: "General, Sun Guoyi speaks frankly, which is a sign of no grudge against the general's morale. The general should be happy because of this. Bo Fu's attack on Caizhou was successful, but he did take risks. Sun Guoyi's opposition was due to stability and no big mistake. As for slaughtering Caizhou, I think Bo Fu was just scaring the Cai family. Guoyi was loyal and honest and could not see through it."

Sun Jian's face calmed down a little. "Then he wants to marry the Cai family's daughter, what's going on?"

"General, Guoyi is at his age. If he hadn't followed the general to conquer, he would have been married long ago. Bo Fu was willing to make this happen."

"Since you want to marry the Cai family, why don't Bo Fu choose himself?"

"I think there may be two reasons why Bo Fu doesn't marry Cai's family: one is that he wants to establish his authority, and the other is that he doesn't like the Cai family."

"He still doesn't like the Cai family?" Sun Jian snorted: "Whose daughter does he want to marry? Does your Zhou family have a woman of the same age?"

Zhou Yu was very embarrassed. "General, Bo Fu has lofty ambitions, why worry about having no wife? Guoyi also said that Bo Fu was talking with Pang Degong the day before yesterday, and he would definitely become famous in Jingxiang in the future. At that time, those who come forward to propose marriage may break through the threshold of the general's mansion, so the general does not need to be in a hurry."

Sun Jian laughed loudly. "I'm afraid that the son's expectations will be too high and it will waste time. He is 16 this year and it's time to get married."

Zhou Yu blinked his eyes and began to worry about Sun Ce. He spoke very well, but in fact he didn't agree with Sun Ce's attempt to marry Sun Fu's marriage to Cai Ke, but he couldn't say it out. He thought about it and said, "General, Bo Fu's military newspaper is too simple, and I'm afraid there are still some things that have not been explained clearly. I want to go there in person and ask Caizhou to understand."

Sun Jian nodded and agreed. "You lead a thousand people to Caizhou, pass on my orders, and worship Huang Hansheng as a captain, and let him lead these thousand people, and follow Bo Fu well. He will not treat him badly in the future. As for Zu Mao, let him keep Yiqiong and come back alone, I really can't live without him."

Zhou Yu understood it and bowed to accept the order.
