Back to the Three Kingdoms - Chapter 558
Sun Ce bandaged the wound and stepped back, leaving only him and Zhou Yu in the room.
Sun Ce scolded: “Damn Chen Lang, **** Lu Bu! If this revenge is not reported, I will be a man in vain!”
Zhou Yu knelt down on one knee and reprimanded himself: “I must bear the main responsibility for the defeat in this battle. Please Bo Fu will impose strict sanctions to reassure the army!”
Sun Ce helped Zhou Yu up, patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, and said, “Gong Jin doesn’t have to blame herself. In this battle, Gong Jin has already done his best. With all his ingenuity, he has trapped the enemy many times. Who can do this? How many people can there be? Alas, it’s really abominable to help Chen Lang but not Soochow! The top priority now is how to deal with the current situation.”
Zhou Yu nodded and frowned, “Jiang Xia fell, and the situation is already very unfavorable to us. The only solution for the present is to stick to it, and at the same time ask Cao Cao to send troops as soon as possible. Only when Cao Cao and Chen Lang fight, we can have a chance to regain the lost ground. And then try to make progress.”
Sun Ce motioned Zhou Yu to sit down, and the two sat down.
At this moment, Lu Xun rushed in anxiously and shouted anxiously: “It’s not good! It’s not good!”
The two of them were shocked when they saw that Lu Xun, who had always been steady, was panicked. Sun Ce shouted angrily: “What is it! What happened?”
Lu Xun settled his mind, clasped his fist and said, “Cao Cao suddenly sent troops and took our Huainan!”
The two were shocked, but Sun Cehuo rose up and asked angrily: “What did you say?”
Lu Xun said: “Not long ago, Cao Cao led an army suddenly south, and our army was caught off guard. Shouchun and the entire Huainan area were taken by Cao Cao!”
Sun Ce was so angry that he smashed the case table with a punch, and cursed: “Cao thief, how dare you take advantage of the fire! I am not at odds with Ershi!”
Zhou Yu asked Lu Xun anxiously, “How is Cao Jun going?”
Lu Xun clasped his fist towards Zhou Yu and said: “After Cao Jun occupied Huainan, he stopped moving.” Zhou Yu sighed slightly, his face showing thoughtfulness.
After Sun Ce roared angrily, he calmed down a lot. Asked Zhou Yu: “Gong Jin, Cao Cao broke his covenant and fell into trouble, what should I do now?”
Zhou Yu frowned, seemingly struggling, and then he clasped his fist towards Sun Ce and said, “Bo Fu, don’t worry too much. Although Cao Thief is abhorrent, but since he captured Huainan in one fell swoop and didn’t continue to march south, I guess he doesn’t want us Dongwu. In this case, he still wants to use us to deal with Chen Lang.”
Sun Ce nodded and said with a smile: “Then Chen Lang is cunning and spicy, and Qin Jun is like a wolf and a tiger, so the Cao Thief is naturally very jealous!”
Zhou Yu said: “I think Cao Cao’s messenger will soon come to us and ask for a new alliance to deal with Chen Lang….”
Sun Ce was furious and cursed: “Cao thief put us together. I can’t wait to frustrate him. If his messenger comes, I will take off his head and return it to Cao Cao, so that he can know that Sun Ce will never Let it be slaughtered!”
Zhou Yu said: “Bo Fu calms down his anger. Cao Cao’s treachery is certainly hateful, but our current confidant is Chen Lang. However, our army suffered a great loss after this war, and the loss of Jiang Xia and other places caused a huge loss of our army’s money and food. It is almost impossible for us to resist the next offensive of the Qin army with our own strength. It is impossible not to rely on him, Cao Cao….”
Sun Ce waved his hand and said angrily: “I’d rather be crushed, and never cooperate with Cao Thief!”
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce. Lu Xun looked a little overwhelmed.
Seeing Zhou Yu looking at him, Sun Ce couldn’t help dissipating his anger a little, and asked, “Gong Jin, is there no other way?”
Zhou Yu sighed and said, “In today’s situation, there is no other way!” Sun Ce was depressed and did not speak.
Zhou Yu said: “Now we can only imitate Goujian back then, try our best and endure the humiliation. The war between Cao Thief and Chen Thief will surely break out soon, and then it will be time for our army to take advantage of the situation to regain lost ground and regain its strength!”
Sun Ce nodded and said bitterly: “At that time, I will not only retake Jiangxia, but also the entire Jingzhou!”
“No!” Zhou Yu said suddenly. Sun Ce was depressed and looked at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu said: “The outcome of the battle between the two thieves is unpredictable. If Cao’s army is unfavorable, our army’s attack in Jingzhou will become a deterrent to Cao’s thief, and it will be against me.” Sun Ce’s heart moved, and he said with joy, “Gong Jin meant it. Yes, if the Cao thief wins, our army will march westward to capture Jingzhou Xichuan; if the Chen thief wins, then our army will move northward to capture Huainan and sweep the Central Plains?”
Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, and said, “Exactly.”

Sun Ce laughed loudly and praised: “A good strategy! A good strategy! What should we do?” Then he rushed to Lu Xun: “You go and send someone to tell Father King what Gongjin and I mean!” Lu Xun replied joyfully. , Hurried down.
Sun Ce happily said to Zhou Yu: “Gong Jin, let’s take a swig!”
Zhou Yu frowned and said, “Bo Fu, the strategy we prepared earlier should be implemented!”
Sun Ce was taken aback, then frowned, and asked unwillingly, “Is it really going to be like this? Gong Jin’s strategy just now is very good, I don’t think it is necessary to use that strategy!”
Zhou Yu shook his head, and said, “People are not as good as heaven. Even if everything develops according to my inference, whether it is Chen Thief or Cao Thief, as the winning party, their strength will inevitably leap further and will be far stronger than us. After their strength is wiped out, it is time for us to fight the victorious side. However, with our own strength, it can almost be concluded that the possibility of victory is very slim. To reverse this situation, we must do something. We in Soochow won the chance to win, we can only implement this strategy. Fortunately, these two thieves are very erotic, this strategy will surely succeed.”
Sun Cejing frowned and said annoyedly: “If this matter spreads out, where is the face of you and me?”
Zhou Yu said firmly, “For the sake of Soochow’s great cause, why do you and my face pity you?”
Sun Ce shook, frowned and nodded.
Chen Lang returned to Nanjun. After receiving the report that Cao Jun had raided and occupied Huainan, he couldn’t help but smiled and said to Zhuge Liang: “Kong Ming, this matter was anticipated by you again.”
Zhuge Liang smiled and clasped his fist and said: “The subordinates don’t dare to take credit. They don’t conceal it. This is what my sister expected.”
Chen Lang couldn’t help but look at Zhuge Mengxue, who was dressed in men’s clothes and sitting in the hall, and smiled: “The second Miss Zhuge’s talent is really admirable!” Zhuge Mengxue smiled and clasped his fists: “The lord has spoken.”
Chen Lang smiled and said: “In this fierce battle with Soochow, all the generals have made contributions on the battlefield, and all the counsellors have also contributed, especially the talent of the second Miss Zhuge is obvious to all. I intend to let the second Miss Zhuge be the long history of my Qin Dynasty mansion. , I don’t know what Miss Zhuge thinks?”
All the civil servants congratulated Zhuge Mengxue. Zhuge Mengxue had a reddened face, stood up, walked to the hall, and bowed, “Thank you, King Qin, for your love!” Chen Lang smiled. Zhuge Mengxue returned to the seat and sat down.
Zhuge Ruoxue in a uniform suddenly stood up and said loudly, “The lord has done something unfair!”
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on Zhuge Ruoxue’s body. Chen Lang laughed and said, “Where did Miss Zhuge San start?”
Zhuge Ruoxue said in an annoyed manner: “Isn’t it unfair that the lord re-uses my second sister so much, but does not allow me the opportunity to go to the battlefield?”
Everyone couldn’t help laughing.
Guan Yu caressed the long beard under his jaw and smiled: “Women are weak, so it’s okay to be a counselor, but fighting on the battlefield is not something women can do.” Everyone laughed.
Zhuge Ruoxue was not convinced, and said loudly: “Who said that women are inferior to men! The little woman is willing to ask General Guan for advice!”
Guan Yu was taken aback, then he smiled, and the secretary cast a cry for help at Chen Lang. Zhuge Mengxue shouted: “The third sisters must not be fooling around!” Zhuge Ruoxue bulged her cheeks, looking unconvinced.
Chen Lang smiled and said: “Ms. Zhuge San doesn’t have any official position. If I send you a task like this, it will not conform to the rules and regulations of our Qin army. Let’s do it, the martial arts elections will be held in Luoyang soon. Participate. If you can stand out, you can formally become a general of the Qin army, and then you just don’t want to go to the battlefield.”
Zhuge Ruoxue was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: “But what the lord said is true?”
Chen Lang smiled and nodded.
Zhuge Ruoxue’s eyes were bright, and she looked impatient, and said, “Just look good, this lady won’t lose to your men!” Everyone couldn’t help but laugh. Zhuge Ruoxue returned to her sister Zhuge Mengxue and sat down. Zhuge Mengxue cast a blank look at her sister, but Zhuge Ruoxue showed a charming expression.
Seeing the gossip finished, Zhuge Liang clasped his fist towards Chen Lang and said, “Master, although Cao Cao has raided Huainan, I don’t think the alliance between the two of them will change.”
Zhang Fei immediately said unhappily: “The military division said that is strange! How can there be any reason for being stabbed and forming an alliance with the enemy?”
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: “General Yi De said something reasonable. But the situation at the moment is quite special.” Turning his head and holding a fist at Chen Lang said: “For Cao Cao and Sun Jian, the lord is their greatest enemy, especially for Sun Jianlai. Said. Although Sun Jian was taken from Huainan by Cao Cao, it was our Qin army that directly threatened Sun Jian’s fundamental importance. Judging from the current situation, it is absolutely impossible for Sun Jian to protect himself without uniting with Cao Cao. Sun Jian Zhou Yu and others must hate Cao Cao’s move to take Huainan, but for the sake of the overall situation, they have to bear this tone and continue to unite with Cao Cao. For Cao Cao, Sun Jian is no longer a concern. The biggest opponent is us. If they rely solely on their family, the outcome is unpredictable, so it would be a viable trick to get Jiangdong as a helper.”
Chen Lang smiled and nodded, and said, “The two have their own needs, so it is logical to maintain a joint relationship.”
Zhuge nodded brightly, “Exactly.”
