Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 71 The mountain and rain are about to come and the wind is full of buildings!
The full moon is like a silver plate, hanging high in the sky.

The bright moonlight shines on the earth, and everything seems extremely quiet.

Sun Ce selected his troops and ordered Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai to organize the soldiers and place their confidants in place, while he returned to his residence.

Before entering the house, Sun Ce couldn't suppress the joy in his heart: "Gong Jin, it's really done!"

"It's done!"

"Ha ha!!"

Hearing Sun Ce's excited laughter, Zhou Yu quickly walked out of the room.

"How many people were given to us?"

Sun Ce raised his finger: "A total of 3000 people!"

"what?"

"That much?"

The smile on Zhou Yu's face froze, replaced by a deep solemn look.

"Is there any fraud in Bo Fu's case?"

"The Imperial Seal is a rare treasure, but it is a dead thing after all. How could Yuan Shu be willing to give it to more than 1 people?"

"Are these all the old, weak, sick and disabled? People with no fighting ability?"

"Or does he accept you and just let you work for him, like an uncle?"

In an instant, Zhou Yu stated all his guesses.

Sun Ce smiled and shook his head: "None of them!"

"Gongjin, although you are far smarter than me, I can guarantee that you won't know the reason even if you think about it."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yu was stunned, and the doubt in his eyes became even stronger.

Sun Ce did not play riddles and explained Yuan Shu's conditions in detail.

After Zhou Yu heard this, he pondered for a long time: "Yuan Shu is afraid of being beaten by Lin Fan. He wants to make both the coalition of princes and Lin Fan suffer, while he reaps the benefits of being a fisherman in Huainan!"

"Take 3000 people as bait to lure you into working for them."

"high!"

"It's really high!!"

The smile on Sun Ce's face faded a lot, and he sighed quietly: "Why don't I know this truth?"

"But people are bound to be strong, so what can be done?"

"We are like chess pieces on a chess board. How we move depends on the chess player's fingers."

"Unless we get off the chessboard and play chess ourselves."

"But now, it's basically impossible."

Zhou Yu nodded slowly: "If you want to become a chess player, you have to kill everyone and walk your own path."

"The right time, right place, and right people are all in short supply."

"I thought I would use the jade seal to replace my uncle's remnants, and we would go to Jiangdong to start a business, but I didn't expect it."

"Lin Fan is difficult to deal with!"

"Lu Bu, Liu Bei, or Cao Cao, which one of these people is easier to deal with?"

"But he, as a bandit, swept away three people."

"Now we have more than [-] elite soldiers. In terms of pure strength, we are not weaker than any overlord."

Sun Ce nodded: "It is precisely because of the big noise he caused that the imperial court issued an edict, and the princes from all walks of life united to fight against the thieves, recreating the grand scene of the eighteen princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo."

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and sighed: "The eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo with great momentum, but did they really destroy Dong Zhuo?"

"Although the coalition forces are strong, they each have their own agendas and are afraid of intrigues and frame-ups."

Sun Ce was stunned: "With this powerful enemy now, we must destroy Lin Fan first no matter what, right?"

"Otherwise, when he gets older, the world won't change."

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Didn't Dong Zhuo also want to change the world?"

"Besides your father and Cao Cao, among the princes, who else has pursued Luoyang?"

"Learning from the past is a guide for future events!"

Sun Ce, who was originally confident, heard a hint of worry in his eyes.

If each of them fights for power, how can they destroy Lin Fan?
After a while, he hesitated and said: "Gong Jin, what should we do?" "Should we go south directly and ignore Yuan Shu?"

Zhou Yu sighed: "Going south at this juncture not only offends Yuan Shu, but also offends the imperial court. The princes in the world instantly become the target of public criticism."

"We have no place to stand, how can we resist the condemnation of the princes of the world?"

"We have to go to the alliance, but how to fight depends on the situation."

"I hope this alliance will not repeat the mistakes of the Eighteenth Route Army's crusade against Dong Zhuo!"

After saying that, the two of them looked in the direction of Xuzhou, their eyes twinkling, thoughtfully!
Dongjun, Shanyang County.

After the defeat of Xiaopei, Cao Cao detoured around Huainan and returned here again.

Thinking back more than a month ago, the army of [-] was high-spirited and arrogant.

Now there are only [-] remaining soldiers in hand, and one of the generals, Dian Wei, has been lost. Although Cao Cao has always been optimistic, he can't laugh no matter what.

within the county government.

In the back garden, in the gazebo.

Cao Cao looked at the news coming from various places, and a smile appeared on his stern face.

"The name of the Emperor has spread all over the world, and there are like clouds of followers. It is indeed true!"

"Yuan Shao from Jizhou, Ma Teng from Xiliang, Zhang Yang from Hanoi, Liu Biao from Jingzhou, Yuan Shu from Huainan, Liu Yao from Yangzhou, Wang Lang from Kuaiji, and Liu Yan from Yizhou all expressed their willingness to obey the imperial court's order to encircle and suppress Lin Fan!"

"Among them, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, and Liu Yao have all selected elites to come here to form an alliance."

"It seems that Lin Fan will definitely die this time!"

Xi Zhicai, who was sitting opposite, also raised the corner of his mouth: "The princes stand side by side and fight for the world together. No one wants a remnant of the Yellow Turban to be invincible in Xuzhou."

"Lin Fan's origin has caused public outrage!"

"Therefore, all the princes are willing to send troops to attack."

"There's just a problem that needs to be solved."

"Who is the leader?"

"How to enter?"

Cao Cao was stunned and hesitated briefly: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao have not arrived in person. Who else can compete with me for the position of leader?"

Xi Zhicai lowered his voice: "Liu Bei of Xudu has just become the emperor's uncle, and the important ministers in the court have been visiting him one after another for months, and the momentum is not small."

"If all the armies from Shanyang arrive, the emperor gives an order to make Liu Bei the leader and commander of the alliance. The other princes have not yet arrived, but they do not want Cao Cao to have the power of the alliance."

"Liu Bei is powerless now. I'm afraid there will be many people willing to betray the emperor and Liu Bei's face."

"When the time comes, we will succumb to Liu Bei and become like riding a tiger, which will not be good."

"Sizzling."

Cao Cao took a breath, but he had never thought about this level.

There was a cold light in his eyes, and he stroked his beard: "Zhicai, is there a way to avoid this situation?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Of course."

"Allied forces cannot gather in Shanyang."

"First of all, the place where the four battles were fought in Xuzhou was not like the crusade against Dong Zhuo, which had to be attacked from Hulao Pass."

"We don't need to focus on one attack at all, but we can bloom in all directions."

"Launch attacks simultaneously from three directions: north, east, and south."

"Although Lin Fan is strong, he is surrounded by enemies on all sides. How can one person save him?"

"Secondly, without a coalition, there is no point in being a commander. No matter who is elected, it will be impossible to appoint princes from all directions."

"Liu Bei, the emperor's wishful thinking will also be in vain."

"The other princes are also happy to see it."

"When Lin Fan is destroyed, the ownership of Xuzhou will require everyone to show their magical powers."

"In short, no matter who gets it, as long as it is not Liu Bei and the emperor's power does not increase, the prime minister's status will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Cao Cao pondered carefully and nodded slowly for a long time: "The words of Zhicai are very suitable to my liking!"

"I will write a letter to the princes and reach a tacit agreement before submitting a letter to the court."

"Can!"
