Sun Jian said with expectation, "Yes, I have noticed that the court is so intentional. However, Yangzhou has poor people and is difficult to achieve great things. I have already intentions and expand to the land of Jing and Xu. Now this imperial edict is in line with my wishes. Cao Cao has newly obtained Nanjun and Jiangxia, and has an unstable foothold. He must be prevented from being taken away by Yuzhou. It will inevitably be difficult to take care of Jingnan. This is a good opportunity given by God. How can he miss it? I just don’t know what kind of opinions are there for my nephew?”

Zhou Yu smiled calmly and showed his charm: "My nephew thought that since my uncle respected the Emperor of Luoyang as orthodox, the Emperor would summon him. How could the ministers not follow him? My uncle only needs to reply to the Emperor and said that he would prepare soldiers, horses, food and grass, military strategy, and capture the four counties to repay the emperor's grace."

Sun Ce was stunned: "Hey? Gongjin, aren't what you said the same as what my father said?"

Zhou Yu did not answer, but just looked at Sun Jian with a smile. Sun Jian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... It's a plan, it's a plan."

Sun Ce was confused and looked at Sun Jian, then Zhou Yu, completely unaware of what they were laughing at.

"Haha, Brother Bo Fu can't understand the mystery?" Zhou Yu asked.

Sun Ce shook his head: "I don't understand."

"You are asking you to read more books on weekdays, but you always don't listen. You are really a elm head."

Sun Jian scolded him, which made Sun Ce unwilling to accept it.

Cheng Pu came out to smooth things over: "Major General, this is a plan to turn the guests back. The lord obeys the imperial edict and is ready to be sent. In this way, the lord will naturally have a word of loyalty. However, the lord cannot be done in one or two days. As for how many days will it take to send troops, haha..."

Speaking of this, no matter how stupid Sun Ce is, he naturally understands it.

"Ah, I understand. When will the court fight with Cao Cao, we will send troops to capture Jingzhou. In this way, the two sides fighting against the snipe and clam become the court and Cao Cao, and we become fishermen."

"Haha, my brother is really smart and can understand at a glance. The four counties in Jingnan naturally have to take it, but if they want to make a grudge with Cao Cao for this, it will be a great disadvantage. The current scale and strength of the Jingzhou naval army are far superior to our army. Moreover, Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches, and 20,000 naval troops go down the river, but Jiangdong will not be protected. Only Cao Cao is attacked by the emperor and it is difficult to send troops when it is difficult to take care of it. It is the safest."

"I understand, I understand, Gongjin is truly unparalleled in wisdom."

"Brother is not weak either."

"Don't praise him for being a good man. This guy is used to climbing a tree. If you praise him a few words, he will not be able to lift his tail up to the sky."

"Hahaha……"

After everyone burst into laughter, Sun Jian said seriously: "Send the order, the whole army will wait for the battle, practice diligently, build ships, select people who are proficient in water, and expand the navy. At the same time, send people to closely monitor the movements of the Cao army in Jingzhou. If there is any movement, report it immediately."

"Here."

Xuzhou, Donghai County, and Tan County, a hearty laughter came from the prefect's mansion.

"Hahaha... That emperor was really aware of the people. My elder brother should have been the governor of Xuzhou long ago."

Zhang Fei was holding a wine jar and was so happy that he drank several sips in one breath.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense in third brother. What kind of virtue can foolish brother do? I take this important task? I am really frightened."

Liu Bei had an iconic humble smile on his face.

Jiang Huan smiled and said, "You don't have to be too humble. Since Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou, Tao Gongzu has been in a state of health and difficulty in governing the government. The elder brother is already the same as the governor of Xuzhou. Over the past year, under the rule of the elder brother, all the weather has been good and the people live and work in peace. Everyone in Xuzhou has long returned to their hearts. Before the governor of Tao Qian died, he submitted a letter to the court and submitted a letter to the elder brother to take over. Now the imperial edict has been issued, so the elder brother is justified."

"That's right, I want to tell you that my brother's talent and kindness, let alone half of Xuzhou, even the entire Xuzhou, even Qingzhou and Yanzhou, should be under the jurisdiction of the eldest brother. If I hadn't been so sensible today and had a lot of value to the eldest brother, I, Old Zhang, would have wanted to snatch the throne for the eldest brother to sit."

"The third brother is arrogant, how can you make such unfaithful words?" Liu Bei raised his face and scolded him angrily. Zhang Fei smiled embarrassedly, and quickly took a sip of wine and blocked his mouth.

Tian Feng bowed and said, "This time, Your Majesty ordered our army to send troops again to attack Yuzhou. I wonder what the lord plans to do?"

Liu Bei said without hesitation: "Cao Cao is a rebellious thief, and people in the world should kill him together, let alone Bei is a relative of the Han Dynasty. How could he sit still? I want to lead 80,000 troops to attack Qiao County to repay the emperor's kindness."

Tian Feng and Shen Pei both nodded, and seemed very satisfied with this arrangement.

"The Lord is loyal, righteous, kind and kind, and can be seen. However, his subordinates think that if they want to attack Yuzhou, they must first wipe out another force."

Tian Feng said mysteriously with three points.

Liu Bei was stunned and asked, "What Yuan Hao said means..."

Tian Feng smiled and said, "The lord knows it well, why bother ask again?"

When Zhang Fei heard what they said, he couldn't help it anymore. He put the wine jar on and shouted: "Brother, since you want to send troops to fight, you must let me be the pioneer."

Liu Bei glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Oh? I won't let you be a pioneer, so what about you?"

"I..." Zhang Fei's tone was condensed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. He couldn't beat his elder brother, right?

Looking at his appearance, everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, Brother Yu is just teasing you. This vanguard general will be handed over to you. Five days later, you will lead 30,000 troops and attack Pei County directly. Brother Yu personally leads the troops behind to support him."

Zhang Fei was excited and jumped up: "Haha, thank you brother, I'll prepare now."

He slapped his butt, turned his head and ran out.

A few days later, on a certain road leading to Yuzhou in Donghai County, Zhang Fei carried a serpent in his hand, led a total of 30,000 troops, humming a small song, and moving forward.

A young general wearing silver-white armor, about his early twenties, rushed up from behind.

"General Zhang, it's just going to war. How could you be happier than the New Year?"

Zhang Fei turned his head and looked at him: "It's my uncle. You came to join our army half a year ago, so naturally I don't know. Since Cao Cao captured Xuzhou two years ago, I, Old Zhang, have never had any major wars. On weekdays, they fight against bullies who are rampant in the countryside or destroy bandits. It's really boring. Only in such a battle, the fighting is the most enjoyable."

The young general suddenly said, "It is said that General Zhang is not afraid of the world, but he is afraid of three things. One is that his lord is angry, the second is that he has no alcohol, and the third is that he has no war. When he sees him today, the rumors are indeed true."

"Haha... well said, well said, I, Old Zhang, in this life, are only afraid that these three things will be good."

Zhang Fei was very helpful to this and raised his head and laughed.

"Haha, General Zhang is really a strange person. I, Chen, have gained my knowledge this time."

"Don't worry, you will follow me, Lao Zhang in the future, and I promise to let you see more. You are from Yuzhou. This time, my elder brother ordered you to assist me. Lao Zhang must first explain to you that everything will be heard from me, Lao Zhang. When I don't know, I come to ask you, and you said that you should not be tempted by military affairs on weekdays, otherwise, Lao Zhang's military stick will not be eye-catching."

Zhang Fei's copper bell-like eyes made Chen sweat a little, how could he dare to object?

"Yes, General Zhang, as the head coach, should be like this."

"Haha, okay, you guy, have a future, haha..."

Zhang Fei talked and laughed along the way. After three days of marching, the army finally arrived at the border of Donghai County.
Chapter completed!
