Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Fourth Soochow Joins the War

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Gongjin, I know what you mean and understand the importance of Jingzhou to my Eastern Wu. However, Jingzhou has not suffered a great war since Liu Biao took over to Liu Bei. Even when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he has always been very cautious about my Eastern Wu. It is a temporary inability to take advantage of it. Now there is no war in Jingzhou, and Guan Yu is guarding him. You also know that Guan Yu is a famous general in the world. He will be defeated in an easy way. If he fights head-on with him, he will lose his fighting power. How much combat power will I have to resist the north? It's not that I don't want Jingzhou, on the contrary, I always dream of seizing Jingzhou, but the time is not right. Do you understand Gongjin?"

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "When will it be a good opportunity to seize Jingzhou according to the wishes of Wu Hou?"

Sun Quan smiled and said, "During this period, I have been sending Zijing and Liu Bei to negotiate. The relationship between the two sides is getting closer and closer. On holidays, no matter how big or small, I will send someone to send great gifts to Guan Yu to keep his heart open. Doing this may be a bit complicated, but it is safe. I believe that in the near future, Guan Yu will definitely put aside his guard against us and look north with all his strength. After all, Guan Yu's eyes are higher than the top, and he has long wanted to fight against Yuan and Cao, but he has been ordered by Kong Ming, so he endured and hiding. But I believe this situation will not be too long. When will Guan Yu fight with the north and when will it be our good opportunity to seize the Eastern Wu? Gongjin, do you know my painstaking efforts?"

Zhou Yu nodded after hearing this: "It turns out that Wu Hou and Zijing had already decided on the matter of Jingzhou. Zhou Yu was too worried. However, Guan Yu was just a seldom. Even if he faced the enemy head-on, I would definitely win."

Sun Quan nodded with a smile and said, "I naturally know that when it comes to skills, Gongjin, you are naturally far better than Guan Yu, but it is so stupid to compare with strength. Why should we do it? In my opinion, we will take down the southern border of Xuzhou first, and then go to Jingzhou in the future. In this way, whether it is north or west, I, Dongwu, have pedals to advance, and it is the same as sticking to it. There are all benefits but no harm. Gongjin, what do you think?"

Zhou Yu heard this and pondered without saying a word.

Sun Quan thought for a while and suddenly said, "Gongjin. Are you afraid of Yuan Shang?"

"Ha!" Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard this, and there was a bit of unpredictable meaning in his voice: "Yuan Shang? I'm afraid of him! A joke! That boy is a vulgar guy, he's so vulgar. I'll be afraid of him... I'm afraid... I'm bah!"

"Then why are you..."

"Okay!" Zhou Yu raised his hand suddenly and said to Sun Quan: "Mr. Wu, you don't have to use the method of provoking me. You are the master and I am the general. Since you have decided, Yu will definitely follow the lord's instructions and act carefully. If your lord wants Xuzhou, Yu will help you seize the five countries and sixty-two counties of Xuzhou, drive away Yuan Shang and destroy Guo Jia!"

Sun Quan nodded and said cheerfully: "Okay, this time we will march together, so that the world can see the strength of your and my ministers joining forces. It will also let the world know that although my father and brother passed away, Jiangdong will still have successors. To compete in the world, Dongwu will definitely have this strength!"

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

After capturing Pengcheng, the capital of Xuzhou, Yuan Jun won the battle spirit, his morale was like a rainbow, and his momentum was out of control.

According to Zheng Ji's suggestion, Yuan Shang set up a banquet in Pengcheng to reward the three armies in order to add icing on the cake and increase the fighting spirit of the soldiers of various troops.

"Come on, I'll respect you another lady! In this battle, the lady personally took action and killed three generals. She made great contributions. She is truly worthy of being the lord's virtuous support! I admire her!"

At the banquet, Zhang Ji became the spokesperson for toasting Yuan Shang for the celebration. He toasted one cup and the other cup. I don’t know where this old boy got such a large amount of alcohol. His face turned red and he was so drunk that he couldn’t get drunk, but he just couldn’t fall down. He also had the courage to drink more and more, which allowed everyone to have an updated assessment of the capacity of the scholar’s ​​belly.

Since Lu Lingqi gave birth to a child, she has never been drunk. Today she has been eating meat, and she is so dizzy that she doesn't stop drinking. He laughed and shook her feet, stood up, raised the wine cup and said, "Brother! Excessive! Excessive!"

Zheng Ji laughed and said, "Big girl, don't say that. My boss has never praised people much. If you praise them, the person who is praised must have his merits. Don't be humble!"

"Okay, since you said that, I won't cheat on my wife. Let's drink this wine! Whoever doesn't drink it will have a grandson!"

"I'm sorry, my grandson! Come on, big girl, let's drink it!"

Yuan Shang held the wine glass, frowned, looked back and forth at the two of them, and said, "What kind of generation are you two?"

Pang Ji and Lu Lingqi turned their heads to look at him in a hazy way.

"Himmer~~, this generation, are there any problems?" Zhang Ji burped and looked at Yuan Shang in confusion.

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes: "You are the same as my father. She is my wife. You call her a girl now. If you can't drink her, you will become a grandson again. And so on, what should you call me?"

Zhang Ji frowned, his face flushed and began to think about this issue carefully. Obviously, for his current state, this issue could cost him at least 100 million brain cells.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Ji hesitated and said, "I should call you...nephew?"

Yuan Shang sighed, not knowing how Jiang Ji, who had drunk such a drink, sorted out these relationships and came to the conclusion of "nephew".

"Don't call me nephew! Then you always suffer a lot, so you might as well call me grandfather."

Zheng Ji laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Don't talk! Take advantage of me! I'm so stupid!"

OK, it’s not completely lost its composure. At critical moments, you can distinguish between Zi, Wu, Mao and You, and not take advantage of others. It’s also considered good.

Yuan Shang ignored the two drunks, turned his head and looked at Zhang He, who had drunk a lot, but was obviously clear and clear, said: "General Junyi, how do you feel about winning this battle?"

Zhang He smiled when he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "The last general thinks that we should win in this battle, but it seems that it is a bit easier to win like this."

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "I feel this way too. That boy Guo Jia seems to be making some ideas behind this battle, but I can't figure it out for a while. What do you think?"

Zhang He sighed helplessly and said, "The lord can't even see it, so how can the last general think clearly, but no matter what, Pengcheng is let us take it down, the next step is to slowly erode the counties of Xuzhou. Guo Jia defended Xia Pi, where the city is high and the water is deep, and it is difficult to attack. If he comes out, we will fight. If he doesn't come out, we will go to attack other counties in Xuzhou. In this way, no matter what conspiracy he has, he will definitely lose in the end... We can't think of what he is doing, so it's better to take one step at a time. What do you think?"

When Yuan Shang heard this, he nodded and said with emotion.

"Although war is easy, conspiracy is not easy. Please cherish it."

While the two were talking, they saw outside the hall, Liu Xun, the captain of Dianjun, hurried in. After a glance around, he moved to Yuan Shang and whispered: "Lord, there is something going on in the south!"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "What's the situation?"

"The spy came to report that the soldiers and horses displayed in Yangmingkou Port in the Eastern Wu seemed to be moved, and it seemed that they wanted to send troops to Xuzhou!"
