Qin Song received Sun Ce's latest instructions and quickly asked to see Sun Gan again, wanting to continue negotiations with Sun Gan, at least to extend the time of the truce first, so as to gain more time for Sun Ce to transfer the population.

There were people coming and going in the office of Sun Gan. Qin Song waited in the reception room for half an hour before Sun Gan appeared with apologetic expression on his face.

"Sorry, the business is complicated, and Wenbiao has been waiting for a long time."

"Haha, I'm an idle person, so it's okay to wait."

"Does the article have new ideas?"

"No, I just want to announce the latest news."

Qin Song's old god-like appearance made Sun Han very unhappy. He was already a stray dog, but he pretended to be extraordinary. Now for Sun Ce, it was important to ask for an alliance with Liu Bei.

Of course, Liu Bei actually had the intention to form an alliance with Sun Ce. Of course, Liu Bei also wanted to swallow Jiangdong in one bite, but this was obviously unrealistic. First of all, Sun Ce's strength was not damaged, and after being compressed, his military counterattack ability became stronger and stronger. On the contrary, Liu Bei's new land needs time to digest and needs to be divided into troops to garrison. Liu Bei's subsequent offensive ability is basically gone.

From the overall perspective, Jingnan Yiren has begun to make small moves, and Cao Cao may also have recurrences at any time. In addition, Lu Bu's attitude is not easy to say. After all, Liu Bei went against the emperor's will and did not compete with Cao Cao. Instead, he played a tacit alliance with Cao Cao, which would definitely arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction.

So, now both Liu Bei and Sun Ce actually have a need for alliance, but they are unwilling to speak first.

"Oh? What important news did the article bring?"

"There are two news. The first is that we find that Cao Cao's army is gathering towards Jichun, and there is a possibility of attacking Huangshi Fortress."

"oh?"

Sun Gan was shocked. However, there was no sign of the situation. Zhang Fei's troops had just taken E County, and Wu Jing's troops had evacuated from the waterway and took away many people. As for the Huangshi Fortress, they should still be in Sun Ce's hands now, but Qin Song's implicit meaning was to give the Huangshi Fortress to Cao Cao!

"The second news is that our army spies discovered that Cao Cao was preparing to build ports and shipyards in Xunyang, Linhu, Liyang and other places, and recruiting alien shipwrecks. I guess he will establish a naval army soon."

After Qin Song finished speaking, he picked up the already bland tea on the table and took a sip, and looked at Sun Gan with a smile.

Sun Gan turned his mind quickly and replied with a smile: "Building a naval army is also a matter of course. I believe Cao Cao is still interested in Danyang and Yuzhang, and wants to cross the river south, and the prosperous land of Jiangdong, haha. As for Huangshi Fortress, isn't that the territory of your army? The written statement tells me whether I want to ask our army for help?"

"Oh? So Gongyou thought so, that's really a self-indulgent person, haha."

"I won't say this in advance. I don't know what decision your master has made on the last negotiation proposal and whether he is willing to give up Changsha County. In fact, Changsha County is originally under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, why should your master fall in love with him? Doing so will also affect the good relationship between the two parties, right?"

Qin Song was full of complaints and had a good relationship. If Cao Cao had not been spying on him, his lord would have fought Liu Bei with him in Changsha to the death.

"My Lord's opinion has not changed. Changsha is the inherent jurisdiction of my Lord. How can we privately teach each other? Could it be that what Lord Liu said about respecting the emperor is a lie? But this is understandable. The emperor is weak. Lord Liu is full of heroism and must also have the idea of ​​becoming a 95th, haha."

"Be careful in words in Wenbiao. Our lord has always taken it as his responsibility to support the Han Dynasty. Wenbiao should not judge a gentleman by his villain's heart."

"Oh, I'm saying a word, I'm saying it, haha, I just don't know if the Dingtao court, Lu Bu and Pang Fuqing trust Lord Liu like Gongyou? If so, I can't say that Lord Liu was dismissed, I don't know how to deal with it?"

"This is not a matter of worrying."

"Yes, I can't care about that, but based on my superficial opinion, if you want to avoid this situation, it's better to attack Cao Cao, a traitor, according to the emperor's wishes. What do Gong You think?"

"Hmph, my Lord was attacking Cao Cao, and it was only because Sun Bofu provoked me that the current situation was formed."

Qin Song sneered and said, "I heard that the success and defeated the enemy. Now the noble lord has no king yet, but I first set my lord as the enemy and ask for it. Why should Gongyou turn right and wrong? The truth is obvious to all people. Lord Liu's heart is known to everyone! Gongyou deceives himself but finds it very interesting, haha."

Sun Qian was a little embarrassed, but his face was filled with righteous indignation: "Yes, everyone has their own opinions on who is right and who is wrong in this matter! The truth and truth will come from the scene, and it is useless to say more now."

"Well, that's right, so it's useful. Cao Cao is growing stronger and stronger, and our army still has natural dangers to resist. I wonder how your army can resist the increasingly powerful Cao Cao? If our lord put aside his prejudice and talk to Cao Cao, Cao Cao attacks the north and fights the south, I wonder if Lord Liu has the ability to resist left and right?"

"Hmph! This matter is even more worrying. It's better to worry about whether Yu Zhang and Danyang can hold on."

Qin Song sneered and said, "Brother Gongyou, it is useless to show off your words. It is just a bunch of empty talk. The strong wind blows without a trace, but Cao Cao's strength is clearly there. Although my master is a young hero, he does not have the ability to fight against Lord Liu and Cao Cao at the same time. Therefore, he must choose one to join. Brother Gongyou, although those rumors are very annoying, but at the critical moment of life and death, who can still care about those things? Do you think so?"

Sun Qian couldn't help but hesitate. Qin Song was clearly cheating, but Sun Qian had to say that he was good at cheating, so he had to accept Sun Ce's blackmail. If Sun Ce really did not do anything and ignored everything and joined forces with Cao Cao, Liu Bei would really suffer a great loss.

When Qin Song saw Sun Qian's expression, he suddenly felt that there was a chance. Maybe it would be fine if he didn't throw it away.

"The defense of the lord, Itoshima and Guanyin Mountain Fortress has been basically completed. The Japanese seem to have no intention of taking the initiative to attack in large quantities. They mainly fight for attrition around the fortress. It seems that they have made up their minds to carry out the protracted war to the end."

"Sir, the war of attrition is generally not good for me, and this should be clear, unless we can achieve much greater results than the opponent in the war of attrition."

Fang Zhiwen nodded and said about the issues mentioned by Guo Jia and Li Ru. Fang Zhiwen was naturally clear about it, but this matter was not enough now. Both sides have invested millions of troops in a small place in the northern part of Jiuzhou. They must be extremely cautious. If you are not careful, it will cause a disaster.

"Well, the other party doesn't want to fight. Then we force them to fight."

Guo Jia grinned: "That's right. The South World Association has landed, and Yuan Zhi has also involved a large number of enemy troops. The mobile power on the Kyushu battlefield is basically clear. After the completion of Guanyin Mountain and Matsuuragawa Fortress, our army should be able to engage in an oppressive battle!"

"Very good, please follow this plan!"

"promise!"

"In addition, Sun Ce doesn't know what he is thinking."

"Sir, Sun Ce probably won't choose to cross the east." Li Ru said with certainty. Li Ru is better than Guo Jia for his grasp of people's hearts.

"Yes. I think so too. Sun Ce can't make that kind of determination. The so-called "Don't cry until you see the coffin!"

"Haha, he's just a big kid, he really thinks he's the hero of the world!"

"The reason for filial piety is not this. It is mainly due to the influence of the aristocratic power. They are reluctant to leave their current foundation."

"Wenyou said, then don't care about them for the time being. It's still a bit early to open the third battlefield now. Guess, can Sun Ce protect Changsha in the end?"

"It depends on Cao Cao, but with Cao Cao's personality, most of them will not show weakness to Liu Bei on their own initiative. Therefore, it is still possible for Sun Ce to protect half of Changsha. Speaking of which, Liu Bei's plan is ruthless enough!"

Guo Jia said with a smile, Li Ru raised the corners of his mouth. In Li Ru's opinion, Liu Bei did not do enough and could continue to use this matter, but it was difficult to guarantee that Sun Ce would be anxious and jumped over the wall. Therefore, Liu Bei had already obtained the benefits, and perhaps he had the intention to make stability.

"That's how long can Sun Ce last longer?" Fang Zhiwen pinched his chin and thought.

"It depends on the attitude of the lord. If the lord thinks he should come to Yingzhou Island early, he can put pressure on Sun Ce through the Tianxiahui. In fact, Yuzhang and Danyang are better for Tianxiahui and Liu Bei respectively. In this way, Jiangdong will be relatively stable."

"Wait a little bit about this. When our battle is over, if it goes well, Kyushu will attract more Japanese pirates. At that time, it will be a good time to open up the third battlefield!"

"Lord, see you clearly!"

Xi Zhicai came to see Cao Cao in a hurry because he received news that Xu Chu was attacking Huangshi Fortress.

"Lord, the Yellowstone Fortress cannot be beaten!"

"Why?" Cao Cao looked at the map without raising his head.

"Huangshi Fortress is Jiangxia's territory. Liu Bei has long regarded it as a treasure. If the lord takes it, he will inevitably get into evil with Liu Bei. This will prompt Liu Bei and Sun Ce to quickly reconcile peace, and end the battle in Changsha. Now the lord should focus on attacking Sun Ce instead of taking advantage of Liu Bei."

"I am just attacking Sun Ce. Huangshi Fortress is now in the hands of Sun Cejun. Did Zhicai make a mistake?"

"This lord"

"Zhicai, I know what you mean, but the Yangtze River cannot pass! Not only can it not pass now, but it cannot pass for a long time. Liu Bei wants to respect the emperor, and the emperor will continue to provoke Liu Bei and even coerce Liu Bei with a good reputation. It is certain that Liu Bei is an enemy of me, and it is only a matter of time. Since he can't defeat Sun Ce, it is better to let him keep more of the territory of Changsha, so that he will have a thought in the future!"

Xi Zhicai suddenly realized that Cao Cao had thought further. Although Sun Ce has formed an alliance with Liu Bei, soon after, Sun Ce will find that it is difficult for Cao Cao to travel south and the same difficulty for him to travel north. Instead of wasting time with Cao Cao, it is better to cooperate with Cao Cao and jointly attack Liu Bei. It is hard to say that he can get Changsha, Jingzhou?

"So that's the case. My subordinates are ignorant and can't see this. Fortunately, the lord is wise and genius. Otherwise, it will be a great crime to delay the lord's affairs!"

"The ambition is too humble. As the saying goes, a fool will get one thing if you think a lot, and I will get one thing if you occasionally get one thing, haha" (To be continued...)
