In the Sanjiangkou navy camp, Sun Ce held the documents in front of him and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong, Bofu?" Zhou Yu put down his helmet. He had just been patrolling the camp. The reason why they were able to take down the camp so quickly was because Zhou Yu had personally taken the lead in patrolling the camp and mingling with the soldiers.
Sanjiangkou had been taken down. The Jingzhou generals of Wuchang would also surrender in a few days. As long as Wuchang was taken down, they would immediately send troops to Xiakou. The entire Jiangxia would basically be in Sun Ce's pocket.
The people of Xiakou were already in a state of panic. They had to thank Lü Bu, Lü Wen Hou, Huang Zu's generals, Su Fei, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning, who could resist the Jiangdong navy, were all transferred to Huangzhou by Huang Zu. The defeat of Huangzhou had caused the Jiangxia Army to be even more chaotic. Sanjiangkou originally had 10,000 Jiangxia Navy. In the end, there were only 5,000 naval troops left.
They were defeated by Zhou Yu in a single battle.
"You didn't call him uncle for nothing!" Zhou Yu joked. "When your uncle agrees to the alliance, the 5,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry will be your sharp blade!"
"Haha, alliance? Gong Jin, there's an accident! " Sun Ce smiled bitterly. He wanted the 5,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Formation Breaker. Sun Ce was drooling over them. However, wanting them was one thing. Whether or not he could obtain them was another matter.
"See for yourself?" While Zhou Yu was puzzled, Sun Ce handed the documents over. As soon as he opened the documents, Zhou Yu's brows furrowed and then he became furious.
"Lü Bu killed Chen Rui? He actually killed Chen Rui! "Zhou Yu couldn't believe it." This Lü Bu and Lü Fengxian really don't want to live anymore? " He had already offended Huang Zu. Sun Ce had even used the pretense of forming an alliance with Lü Bu to occupy Sanjiangkou and threaten Xiakou. For Sun Cejun to be able to obtain such a large harvest, half of it was due to the contributions of the Lvbu's Army. It could be said that Huang Zu hated Lü Bu to the bone.
Sun Ce had sent Chen Rui's Army to form an alliance with the Lü Bu's Army. He wanted to force Lü Bu to form an alliance. As long as Lü Bu had someone who was slightly "smart" or knew how powerful he was, he would definitely form an alliance with Sun Ce. No matter how uncomfortable it was, with the alliance between Lü Bu and Sun Ce, there would be no problem for them to enter Jiang Xia. At that time, they would decide whether to stay or leave.
However, who would have thought that this Lü Bu would actually kill Chen Rui? Was he trying to shed all pretense of cordiality with Sun Cejun?
After offending Huang Zu and then offending Sun Cejun, what good would it do for the Lvbu's Army? Sanjiangkou was in the hands of Sun Ce. The Lvbu's Army was the king of land battles. However, they were a group of landlubbers when it came to water battles. Once Sun Ce blocked Sanjiangkou, the Lvbu's Army would have no way to retreat.
"We did send Chen Rui to force Wen Hou, but he only wanted to touch the tiger's whiskers. However, this Chen Rui obviously pulled out the tiger's teeth!" Sun Ce's documents were clearly written on the table.
Chen Rui proposed four conditions when he arrived at the Lvbu's Army.
The first was to hand over Huang She. The second was to form an alliance. The third was the marriage contract. The fourth was the Imperial Jade Seal.
Sun Ce remembered that he only asked Chen Rui to force Lü Bu to hand over Huang She. If he handed over Huang She, the Lvbu's Army would not be able to turn back. They would definitely be mortal enemies with Huang Zu.
The second was to form an alliance. Jiang Xia was easy to obtain, but the entire Jingzhou was not to be underestimated. Although Liu Biao was only a person who kept his achievements, his foundation over the years had made Jingzhou the wealthiest place in the nine provinces of Huaxia.
Because of the chaos of war, countless people, celebrities, and talents had gathered.
If it wasn't for the fact that Liu Biao's family members were incompetent, it would have been hard to say who would rule the world.
To take down Jiang Xia, one needed to guard against Jingzhou's counterattack. The Lvbu's Army was part of Sun Cejun's plan.
As for the third marriage contract, Sun Ce could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He regretted sending Chen Rui out to lobby. Chen Rui was good at making connections, but he was angered by Liu Mang to the point of almost vomiting blood. He had already become a joke in Jiangdong.
This third condition was definitely added by Chen Rui himself. It was to take revenge on Liu Mang.
Let Lü Bu's daughter be a concubine? Only Chen Rui could think of this. Not to mention that Lü Bu's daughter was already engaged to the King Of Shu, Liu Mang. If it was canceled, how would the world look at Lü Bu? Despising the poor and loving the rich?
The fourth condition, Sun Ce received news that the Imperial Jade Seal disappeared after Yuan Shu's death. However, he found Yuan Shu's former subordinate, Yang Hong, in the Lvbu's Army. This was suspicious.
However, it was only a suspicion. It was difficult to say it openly. However, Chen Rui directly asked for it.
In the end, he even threatened Lü Bu. Who was Lü Bu? He was a fierce tiger. You actually threatened a fierce tiger. Wasn't this courting death?
Chen Rui's death was not unjust. "Bofu should send someone to explain to this uncle!" Although Chen Rui was one of Sun Cejun's five strategists, he was also a veteran of Sun Cejun. However, compared to Jiangdong's hegemony, Sun Ce obviously chose the latter.
"En!" Zhou Yu also nodded. The Lvbu's Army was very important. Sun Ce wanted the whole of Jingzhou, not just Jiangxia.
"Reporting!" A messenger ran in. "Reporting to Milord, Jiangdong's Eight Hundred Li Emergency!"
"Eight Hundred Li Emergency? Quickly send it to me! "Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were surprised. Eight Hundred Li Emergency? Jiangdong was close to Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou.
Half of Yangzhou had already fallen into Jiangdong's hands. The only places left were Shouchun and other places that were already deserted.
Xuzhou's Cao Cao and Liu Bei were in full swing. It was impossible for them to send troops to Jiangdong.
Yuzhou only had Runan's Liu Pi. He was just a dog, a dog of Yuan Shao. Without his master's permission, he would not dare to attack Jiangdong. Moreover, if he dared to attack, would Cao Mengde let go of such a good opportunity?
Jingzhou was now being suppressed. Even if he could counterattack, he would not be able to attack Jiangdong.
"Hateful!" Sun Ce looked at the Eight Hundred Li Emergency and directly overturned the whole table.
"En?" Seeing Sun Ce's angry face, Zhou Yu knew that something big must have happened. He calmly took the Eight Hundred Li Emergency letter that was overturned on the floor.
"They're heading south?!" Zhou Yu stared at the letter in his hand with his mouth agape.
Lu Bu's army actually abandoned Huangzhou city and went to the south. Their goal is Wancheng city!!!!!!!!!! Lujiang Wancheng city.
Although Wancheng city was an important town, its military strength was insufficient. They were all transferred to Jiujiang Chaisang and then gathered at Wuchang's Sanjiangkou.
Now Wancheng city only had a few soldiers defending it.
Lü Bu was now going south. Once the soldiers reached Wancheng city, Wancheng city would be broken.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat! " Sun Ce directly pulled out his sword from the wall and said "Lu Bu, this ignorant man, has bullied me too much. When he came to Lujiang, I did not accept even a single coin from him. I also prepared provisions and hot food for him and entertained him with a banquet. But now, he actually ordered his army to go south to seize my city. If I do not kill Lu Bu, my heart will not be at peace!" Sun Ce was so excited that he forgot to give Lu Bu's army benefits.
"Retreat?" Zhou Yu picked up the table and picked up the things that had fallen on the ground. "Bofu, we can't return to the army now!" Why had they gathered the army at Sanjiangkou and Wuchang? Wasn't it to conquer Jiang Xia and Jingzhou? Once they returned, their efforts these days would be in vain. The next time they attacked Jiang Xia, it would not be so simple. Without Lü Bu, this sharp blade, Sun Ce was not sure if they could conquer Jiang Xia.
Before Lu Bu's arrival, Sun Ce and Jiangxia's war, although Sun Ce won more battles than Lu Bu, but he was unable to open Jiangxia's gate to Jing Province.
Moreover, while they were gathering their troops, Jiang Xia was also gathering in Xiakou. Once they returned, they would not only have to face the Lvbu's Army, but also Huang Zu. Huang Zu would not let go of such an opportunity to attack from both sides.
"Then we can only watch Lü Bu attack our Jiangdong?" Sun Ce's heart was filled with injustice. His anger had reached a certain level. He had schemed against Lü Bu, but it was also a win-win situation. Who knew that Lü Bu would directly attack Wancheng City.
"If we return now, everything we have done will be in vain! Wancheng City and even Lujiang will be handed over to Lü Bu! " Zhou Yu sneered. "The Lvbu's Army is the king of land, but it is a duck in the water. Without the navy, he will not be able to cross the river. The navy of Wuhu and Chaohu is enough to block Lü Fengxian in Jiangbei."
"Our current task is to conquer Xiakou and swallow Jiang Xia. Once we succeed, we only need to leave a few generals in Red Cliff to block Jingzhou's counterattack. At that time, we will return to Wancheng City and gather Jiangdong to attack Lü Bu!"
"Good, then let Lü Bu live for a few more days!" Seeing Sun Ce put down his sword, Zhou Yu was relieved. He was really afraid that Sun Ce would not accept it and go back to fight with Lü Bu. If that happened, there would be no need to talk about Jiangdong's hegemony.
"Lü Bu, Lü Bu! I really underestimated you. "
