Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 257 Combining vertical and horizontal, it is not as good as opening eyes
——"Sure enough, it's Cheng Sima of Long Xiaoying, who has been admiring him for a long time."

——"Wang Zuozhi's talent, Liu Ziyang, in the Yuedan review, is also a long-awaited one!"

The door opens...

First, there was some business exchanging.

This was Cheng Yu's first meeting with the mysterious man, and the atmosphere seemed to be more harmonious than expected.

That's right, the person Cheng Yu invited was Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang from Huainan Chengde!
In Yuedan's review in the past, Xu Shao once commented on him with the four words "Wang Zuozhi's talent".

In fact, Liu Ye is completely worthy of the four "Wang Zuozhi talents", and... he is very similar to Cheng Yu!
They are all civil servants, but in the same way, they have the general character of "wolf extinct".

Cheng Yu's cannibalism didn't change his face, and he raised the knife to kill the county lieutenant without blinking his eyes.

And Liu Ye is also very fierce...

His mother died, asking him to kill his father's favorite waiter, and at the age of 13, Liu Ye killed him with one blow without hesitation!

besides…

The reason why the Lujiang River is as safe as a rock is largely due to Liu Ye's contribution.

In the past, there were many tyrants in Yangzhou supporting their own troops, and there was even a tyrant who wanted to plunder the people and cross the Yangtze River to the Jiangnan area...

Because Liu Ye is quite famous in the local area, the warlord invited him to persuade the people.

I never thought that during the banquet...

Everyone was drinking, Liu Ye took the opportunity of toasting to kill this tyrant directly, and cut off his head to scare his followers!

Everyone was stupefied when they saw this, and immediately bowed down!
They even elected Liu Ye as the commander of Lujiang County one after another, and jointly promoted major events.

However, Liu Ye claimed to be a kinsman of the Han Dynasty, and seeing the decline of the Han Dynasty...but he couldn't bear to usurp the Han Dynasty, and he didn't want the mercenaries to respect themselves...so he entrusted these people to Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang!

Therefore…

It can be said that Liu Ye has a very high status in Lujiang!
And he was also mentioned in Lu Yu's brochure that Cheng Yu had to win over.

"Hahaha... Who knows, Cheng Sima is one of Lu Si Nong's subordinates who is best at recruiting enemy generals."

Liu Ye was always smiling, quite gently.

"This time, I didn't expect that Cheng Sima sneaked into Lujiang secretly, and I, Liu Ye, was the first to meet. Lu Sinong and Cheng Sima think highly of me, really flattered!"

This sounds like a test...

But in fact, this is Liu Ye's sincere words. He wanted to vote for Cao Cao early in the morning, but...now he has a special status, he is a clan member of the Han family, and he is under Yuan Shu's command, and he suffers from nowhere!

The appearance of Cheng Yu ignited the flame in his heart at once.

"Brother Ziyang is not trying to test me, is he?" Cheng Yu was also a little surprised... It seemed that something went too smoothly.

Liu Ye waved his hand.

"The traitor Yuan Shu changed his fate against the heavens, usurped the Han and established himself, and heaven and man all punished him. How could he be Cao Sikong's opponent?"

"In my opinion, in just a few days, Shouchun City will change its flag, and... at that time, I will try my best to persuade Prefect Liu Xun to draw a line with the rebel Yuan Shu and surrender to Cao Sikong...just..."

Speaking of this, there was a bit of worry in Liu Ye's eyes.

"Prefect Liu Xun has [-] troops after all, let him surrender... I am afraid that he will not agree so easily, and what is more worrying is the direction of Jiangdong. If my prediction is correct, Yuan Shu will be destroyed... Jiangdong's Sun Ce will definitely have action."

What Liu Ye said...

In fact, he has already put himself in the same position as Cheng Yu!Think about Cao Ying personally!

Cheng Yu was extremely surprised by this.

To know…

He had instigated quite a few enemy generals, but... Liu Ye was the only one who was so direct that he almost wrote the words "sincerely and sincerely" and "hoping to see through" on his face.

How desperate is he to defect to Cao Sikong?
No... To be precise, how eager he is to lead these [-] brothers to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and embark on a glorious future!

This is not the point, the point is that Liu Ye's analysis just now is exactly the same as that described in Lu Yu's kit.

This is what shocked Cheng Yu the most.

In Cheng Yu's view...

It's not surprising that Mr. Lu predicted the enemy first... He's used to it;
But Liu Ye was able to make such a similar judgment as Mr. Lu, Cheng Yu couldn't help but stare sideways.

Could it be?Does this Liu Ye also have the ability to see and predict as unpredictable as "Mr. Lu"?
No wonder, Mr. Lu pointed out that even if the mission fails, he must be brought back with him!

Sure enough, a little patience!
Of course…

Cheng Yu didn't know that Liu Ye in history was a great prophet!
According to the records in ancient books, he has made five predictions against the sky——

First, he predicted that Liu Bei would avenge Guan Yu and launch the Battle of Yiling;

Second, he predicted that in the battle of Yiling, Sun Quan would bow his head to Cao Wei, but Sun Quan was forced by the situation and did not really surrender, and he would definitely rebel in the future.

Third, he predicted that after the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun would definitely be prepared. At this time, Wei Guo sent troops to attack Soochow, but it would be futile!
Article [-], this is powerful. Without any warning, he predicted that Wei Xi, Meng Da, and Gongsun would definitely rebel!

This is simply a hang up!

And the most awesome thing is the fifth article, which is now...

In Lujiang, when he was under Liu Xun's command, Sun Ce proposed an alliance and sent many gifts!

And Liu Ye accurately judged that Sun Ce was a fake alliance, he was paralyzing Liu Xun's troops, and his purpose was to take Lujiang!
It can be said…

Liu Ye's series of judgments are extremely accurate...

It was so accurate that it was like reading the opponent's strategic plan.

Of course, there were two other people here who also saw Sun Ce's strategic plan, and that was Lu Yu.

It also includes Cheng Yu who is standing in front of Liu Ye at this moment, who is about to fool around.

"Zi Yang also expected that Sun Cejun would take action?" Cheng Yu asked, "So... how will Sun Cejun act?"

At this moment...

The conversation between Cheng Yu and Liu Ye became much closer. They didn't seem to be masters of each other, but like... brothers who met each other like old friends.

"Cheng Sima came from a long way? Surely he didn't ask these questions?"

Liu Ye asked Cheng Yu back. "Hahaha, I've heard for a long time that Commander Lu of the Longxiao camp is good at understanding the current situation, so...Liu dares to ask Sima Cheng next? About Sun Ce's actions in Jiangdong? What advice does Commander Lu have?"

This time is Liu Ye's temptation...

What he wants to test is not Cao Cao, but Lu Yu. According to the legend... the leader of the Long Xiao battalion who has saved Cao Ying from danger and desperate situations, how powerful is his power of insight?

Is it true to its name?
Or is it the crane that does not dance?

This is what Liu Ye is most concerned about...

It is true that Liu Ye originally planned to vote for Cao, but there are two types of votes for Cao. One is to vote for Cao Sikong and be his staff!

The other is to take advantage of Cheng Yu's relationship and directly join Long Xiao's camp.

Although it is the same goal by different routes, Liu Ye is too curious and longing for Lu Yu and Long Xiaoying.

Huo…

Cheng Yu rolled his eyes, how could he not realize that Liu Ye was testing him, to be precise, he was testing Mr. Lu's ability.

It's just...do you still need to try it?

Zhuyu is in front, Mr. Lu has never made a mistake in his prediction!

"Hahaha…"

Cheng Yu smiled and poured more than half a cup of tea to Liu Ye's side. "Master Lu's instructions? Zi Yang really wants to hear it?"

"I want to hear it! I really want to hear it." Liu Ye's tone was quite firm.

"Then..." Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and immediately took out something from his bosom. It was the kit that Lu Yu had given him before, the kit that Cao Xiu was reluctant to see.

"Originally, I shouldn't have let Zi Yang see this brochure, but... since Zi Yang wants to pass the exam for Mr. Lu, it's better to just read this brochure written by Mr. Lu himself."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu stuffed the kit into Liu Ye's hands, and said with a slight smile.

"Here is Mr. Lu's overall prediction of Jiangdong Sun Ce, including...he will send envoys, including that he will bribe the prefect Liu Xun with a large amount of treasure, and even more, that he will suggest that the prefect Liu Xun go to take Shangliao City. !"

Cheng Yu paused, then turned his back and stood with his hands behind his back.

He said with emotion: "If you and I don't intervene, then the [-] armored soldiers in Lujiang will probably change their surnames to Sun, and Zi Yang and Liu Xun, the governor, will eventually go to Cao Sikong! It's just... at that time The current situation is not surrender, but fleeing."

This…

Following Cheng Yu's words, Liu Ye slowly unfolded his kit.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't expand...

As soon as he opened it, his eyes suddenly enlarged.

Sun Ce's overall plan for Lujiang was recorded in detail in the kit!
How to send envoys to paralyze Liu Xun, the prefect, with humble words and treasures?

How to persuade Liu Xun to attack Shangliao City?

How to take advantage of Liu Xun's attack on Shangliao City to attack Liu Xun and capture Lujiang County?

What a sinister strategy!

All these piles come to life one by one...

If Cheng Yu hadn't delivered this kit to him, Liu Ye would probably have felt that... this must have been carefully discovered... Jiangdong Sun Ce's plan for Lujiang County's strategic plan.

certainly…

If an envoy from Jiangdong really proposed to attack Shangliao City, then it would not be difficult for Liu Ye to make such a judgment.

But... How can Mr. Lu be sure that Jiangdong will send envoys to pretend to make an alliance with Haohao and divert the tiger away from the mountain?
This…

This prediction, but there is no sign?

In other words, the premise of the existence and reasonableness of this kit is that Sun Ce sent an envoy to fool the prefect Liu Xun?Sun Ce...will he send envoys?
"Cheng Sima... this..." Liu Ye was about to speak...

But there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

It seemed that because the situation was quite urgent and there was no notification or report, a man suddenly pushed open the door.

His tone was extremely hasty.

"Report to Liu Gongcao..."

Liu Gongcao naturally refers to Liu Ye, and his current official position is the shogunate meritorious officer of Lujiang prefect Liu Xun!

Seemingly because he saw Cheng Yu, the man paused and shut his mouth hastily.

Liu Ye understood, waved his hand to signal him not to be offended, and continued talking.

"Flying pigeons, just last night, Shouchun City was captured by Cao's army. Your Majesty...ah no, it's Yuan Shu...his life or death is uncertain!"

This news came out…

Liu Ye just nodded slightly, as expected!

In his opinion, Yuan Shu's demise is only a matter of time, and there is nothing to make a fuss about.

But just when he was about to wave his hand to let the man back down.

The man's voice rose again. "Jiangdong Sun Ce sent envoy Zhuge Jin to Lujiang, and now he has boarded the ship. According to detailed reports...Zhuge Jin also brought a lot of treasures, saying that he is coming to congratulate Governor Liu Xun!"

This…

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ye's eyes froze.

Envoys from Jiangdong came to visit, wantonly treasure...

This... Isn't this exactly the same as what was described in Mr. Lu's kit?

This is the rhythm to start fooling around!
It seems... It seems that he is short of proposing Liu Xun to attack Shangliao City, and then... the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind!

And Liu Xun has always been greedy for money, so he was blown off by such a rainbow fart, and he was so flustered, he would probably fall into the trap!

This…

All of a sudden, Liu Ye's chest heaved up and down, which was originally calm, and he was busy pricking up his ears, especially since he was a little unbelievable.

"You, you say it again."

For the sake of accuracy, he asked immediately.

"Jiangdong...Jiangdong Sun Ce sent envoy Zhuge Jin to Lujiang!"

The man who reported the news was slightly taken aback, but raised his voice and reported truthfully again:

"Now that Zhugejin has boarded the ship, he will be crossing the Yangtze River in a short time. According to detailed reports...Zhugejin has also brought a lot of treasures, saying that he is coming to congratulate Governor Liu Xun!"

Congratulations…

This time, the keyword Liu Ye found was the word "congratulations". What's there to congratulate?
It was nothing more than congratulations to Governor Liu Xun on his independence, and then... proposed to attack Shangliao City, as for the reason...

Shangliao City has hoarded a large amount of food, if Liu Xun wants to grow bigger, he must take Shangliao!
This is clearly when the deception is in progress!

The story after that...

Even without Lu Yu's tips, Liu Ye himself can fully predict that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind!
Then...

With a "whoosh", Liu Ye suddenly stood up. "This time, it was Mr. Lu and Cheng Sima who saved me, Liu Ye, this Lujiang River, and these [-] soldiers..."

Speaking of this, Liu Ye bowed his hands. "Cheng Sima will stay in the post house for a while first, let me...let me report to Governor Liu that Sun Ce's young son plotted against Lujiang, how can we not let him leave something?"

This…

Cheng Yu paused. "Brother Ziyang, isn't he afraid that Governor Liu won't listen to you?"

As soon as this statement comes out…

"Haha"...Liu Ye laughed, and said frankly while laughing: "If there is no such thing as Mr. Cheng Sima, and Mr. Lu, the eunuch Liu will not believe me, but... if the eunuch Liu saw the bag first What about Sun Ce's emissary, isn't the conspiracy laid by Sun Ce clearly revealed, stillborn?"

Speaking of this, Liu Ye shook his head slightly, he seemed to feel that the word "stillborn" was not appropriate enough.

If Master Lu is right...

Then... on his side, it was almost a clear game. Sun Ce came, how can we not let him keep something?
"Brother Ziyang, I'm at the posthouse!" Cheng Yu also stood up. "In addition to me, Mr. Lu also sent fifty knights from the Longxiao camp. Sun Ce's plans for Lujiang, I will not just sit idly by! I hope Ziyang and Liu Taishou are welcome!"

call…

Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief and nodded immediately.

"If we win this battle, I will persuade Prefect Liu Xun to surrender to Cao Sikong!"

"And this battle between Lujiang and the upcoming battle is our nomination certificate. At that time, Sima Lao Cheng will recommend you!"

"Definitely! Definitely!" Cheng Yu's eyes tightened... and his tone was firm.

In this way, the two men never knew each other, and reached a subtle tacit understanding, and it only took a cup of tea time!

Of course, the decisive kit is also indispensable.

Who knows how to play a clear card?

...

...

call…

Above the Yangtze River, the ocean is vast and surging.

On a tall ship, Zhuge Jin stood at the bow, squinting his eyes and looking at the north.

This time, as Sun Ce's envoy, he came to carry out an important task.

If it succeeds, then Liu Xun's Lujiang River and his [-] soldiers can all be brought into Jiangdong, and he, Zhuge Jin, has made a huge contribution.

call…

Zhuge Jin let out a long breath.

Three years ago, the scenes of the separation of the Zhuge family brothers in Langya County, Xuzhou kept coming to mind.

Especially the sentence mentioned in the mouth of the second brother Zhuge Liang-"Jiangdong Sun Ce's military generals are like clouds, and counselors are like rain, but there is only one lack of a commentator who can combine vertical and horizontal!"

——"And this is exactly what my elder brother is best at. If you rely on Sun Ce, you will definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility and become the pillar of Jiangdong!"

Hehe... entrusted with a heavy responsibility and become a pillar?
Speaking of...

Zhuge Jin has been relying on Sun Ce for several years. These years... As one of the middle-level staff under Sun Ce's command, he is not as good as Jiangdong Qilin Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin when it comes to resourcefulness, and he is not as good as Lu Su and Zhang Zhao when it comes to internal affairs.

Insufficient than the top, more than the bottom!
Zhuge Jin's situation is very embarrassing.

And he is best at the combination of vertical and horizontal, it seems...it is useless under the coercion and crushing of the little overlord Sun Bofu.

To deal with Yan Baihu and Wang Lang in Jiangdong, there is no need to cooperate vertically and horizontally.

Ugh…

So helpless...

But now, at last, Zhuge Jin finally had a chance to "fool Liu Xun into a lame" with his clever mouth, thus taking the opportunity of Lujiang without bloodshed!
It is precisely the geographical location of the Lujiang River that is very important to Sun Ce.

To know…

Sun Ce's enemy is Jiangxia's Huang Zu. Now he has swept across Jiangdong, sitting in the six counties of Jiangdong, suppressing Jiangdong's wealthy families with force, the next thing to do is to turn back to Huangzu's side and revenge!

this point…

It is almost the core strategic goal of Sun Cejun in the next few years.

Can be…

The Lujiang River is between Jiangxia and Jiangdong, and it is an important grain road and a hub for military supplies.

It can be said that the strategic plan to avenge the father will never be realized if Lujiang is not captured.

besides…

There is another point, Sun Ce has a new and old hatred for Liu Xun of Lujiang!

In the past, he devoted himself to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu promised Sun Ce that as long as he attacked Lujiang... the prefect of Lujiang would do it for him.

However, Yuan Shu's mouth has always been a deceitful ghost!

Sun Ce took down Lujiang, but after changing hands, Yuan Shu sent his confidant Liu Xun to Lujiang to be the prefect. It can be said that he picked up the peach that Sun Ce kicked in his arms.

At that time, Sun Ce couldn't be more angry.

But... Liu Xun has an army of [-] in his hands, and has Yuan Shu as his backer, so what can he do?

The only thing I can do is take the next best thing, go and take the six counties in Jiangdong, and wait for the opportunity!

but…

Today is different from the past, Yuan Shu is cold, the opportunity has come!

Whether it is Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, or Zhuge Jin, none of them intend to give up this opportunity, this opportunity to become famous in one battle.

The river wind is blowing, it is the southwest wind...

What always hangs on the river is the southwest wind.

Only the fishermen who live along the Yangtze River know that every year... for a short period of time, the southwest wind will turn to the southeast wind!
Only the most experienced fishermen can accurately judge.

"Zhuge Changshi, the shore ahead is the boundary of Lujiang County."

A voice came out...

Zhuge Jin opened his eyes wide.

"Huh..." He let out a long breath again, "Is it there yet?"

He said so in his mouth, but he was constantly cheering for himself in his heart.

——"Kong Ming, Brother Jun, I don't know your current situation. How is it?"

——"But here, brother, I have finally waited for an opportunity, an opportunity to become Jiangdong's 'Zhang Yi' and 'Su Qin'. I hope... this time, brother, you will live up to your mission!"

——"I will definitely, I will fulfill my mission, right?"
