The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116 High, really high

Liu Xiao led the army to chase and kill them all the way, and went straight into Huainan territory!
In the end, Yuan Shu led the remnant soldiers to retreat to Shouchun City, and mobilized troops from other counties to rush in to help. The two sides began to confront each other in Shouchun!
The two armies held each other in Shouchun for more than a month. Just when Yuan Shu was about to lose his hold, news came from the north, forcing Liu Xiao to retreat.

Liu Xiao was sitting in the commander's tent, and when he was discussing the war with the various ministries, the pawn ran into the commander's tent.

"Report! My lord, Mr. Chen Deng of Xuzhou sent someone to send an urgent message. Yuan Shao had already led his troops to defeat Gongsun Zan, and suddenly led an army of [-] to attack Qingzhou. The situation in Qingzhou is urgent. Governor Yue asked the lord to lead his elite troops back to Qingzhou immediately. !"

Liu Xiao immediately stood up!

Yuan Shao attacked Qingzhou!

Don't be nervous if you have to stay in school. Yuan Shao originally occupied the land of Jizhou and Bingzhou, and now he has taken Youzhou. The army is strong, the civil servants are like rain, and the warriors are like clouds. Although Qingzhou has Yue Fei in charge, its military strength is limited after all, no more than [-] to [-] In terms of military strength, where is Yuan Shao's opponent?

"Lord, Qingzhou is our foundation, we absolutely cannot allow any loss. We must return to Qingzhou immediately!"

Guo Jia said anxiously.

Liu Xiao slapped the desk with resentment, and said in a hateful voice: "For the sake of the mountain, Yuan Shao has fallen short, and the damned Yuan Shao has suddenly attacked us at this time! We can only take advantage of Yuan Shu first! Order the three armies to prepare immediately, tomorrow Withdraw to Xuzhou and go straight to Qingzhou!"

Liu Xiao really can't sit still, a 4 army is no joke, the entire Qingzhou can mobilize no more than [-] troops, the difference is twice as much, and now Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu , Cheng Yaojin, all followed him in Xuzhou, Yue Fei was short of major generals, and it was too difficult to withstand Yuan Shao's attack.

The day before, he was still besieging Shouchun, but in the early morning of the next day, Liu Xiao's more than 4 troops retreated completely.

The next day, when Yuan Jun guards at the head of Shouchun City looked around, the outside of the city was empty, leaving only the Xuzhou Army's barracks.

Yuan Shu, who got the news, finally let out a long sigh of relief. He finally withdrew his troops. If it lasted for a few more days, Shouchun would not be able to hold on!

However, the great battle in less than two months has really hurt Yuan Shu's vitality. Yuan Shu's total strength is only 4 troops, and now there are only [-] to [-] troops left. He has lost troops and lost generals. There is no three or two years to recover. Vigorous.

Yuan Shu was still a little worried, and sent hundreds of scouts to investigate Liu Xiao's whereabouts. He was relieved when he knew that Liu Xiao had indeed returned to Xuzhou.

Back in Xuzhou, Liu Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, Yuan Shu's heart to invade Xuzhou is not dead, once he recovers from this, he will continue to raise troops to invade the country..."

Guo Jia smiled slightly and replied: "My lord, I have already thought of this level, but next time Yuan Shu wants to invade Xuzhou, but he can't help it. At that time, Xuzhou's power can defeat Yuan Shu, not to mention we have There is a sword about to strike..."

Liu Xiao hesitated slightly, and asked, "You mean Sun Ce?"

Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right, my lord, since you have promised Sun Ce, you will naturally do what you say. Just in time, appoint Sun Ce as the prefect of Peijun, allocate [-] troops to him, and let him confront Yuan Shu in Shouchun. He Yuan Shu's territory, as much as he captured, he can get as much. Sun Ce will definitely fight Yuan Shu for the territory. Sun Ce is the sharpest sword in our hands. If Yuan Shu wants to attack Xuzhou from Shouchun, he must first Defeat Sun Ce first; if Yuan Shu wants to attack Xuzhou from Guangling, he must also prevent Sun Ce from attacking him from behind, so how dare Yuan Shu invade Xuzhou so easily?"

"It's just that Sun Ce is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. In the future, the land in the south of the Yangtze River will definitely become an obstacle to our unification of the world..."

Liu Xiao was really worried that he would not be able to restrain Sun Ce in the future. After all, Sun Ce and his son were the real Jiangdong Tigers, rebellious and unruly. It would be too difficult to truly subdue them.

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "My lord, the strategy is light and unprepared. Although there are millions of people, it is no different from walking alone in the Central Plains. If an assassin rises and falls, he will be the enemy of one person. From my point of view, he will die at the hands of ordinary people. In the future, it will definitely not be Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, but Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, who will be able to compete with the lord in the world!"

Liu Xiao's mind suddenly woke up. That's right, Guo Jia's words were on point. Although Sun Ce has won the three armies bravely, and there are many civil servants and military generals, he thinks too much of himself and travels lightly on weekdays. It was hard to escape, and it was true that he died at the hands of the assassin at a young age, and Sun Quan was cheap in the end.

By the way, Sun Quan, Sun Quan!

Liu Xiao has his mind on everything else, but Sun Quan must be in his own hands. Compared with Sun Ce, Sun Quan is the real threat!

Sun Ce's bravery is nothing more than a sword, which must be broken by the hammer of gravity; but Sun Quan is different. Sun Quan's city is deep and his character is tenacious, like weeds. The reason why Sun Quan has been standing in Jiangdong for decades!
"Okay, I will follow Fengxiao's opinion!"

Liu Xiao said in a deep voice, "However, hand over all the military affairs of Pei County to Sun Ce, and at the same time support him in using troops and attacking everywhere. We can't let Sun Ce have no restraint like this. Sun Ce has a younger brother named Sun Quan, whose name is Zhong Mou is underage, what I mean is to connect him to Qingzhou as a hostage, how about it?"

"This one……"

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, and asked, "My lord, is this necessary? The so-called employing people is not suspicious, and doubting people is not necessary. Sun Bofu is not a perfidious person. Taking his younger brother as a hostage would hurt his dignity a bit. Moreover, when asking for hostages, the son has always been the hostage, how can anyone ask for the younger brother to be the hostage? Once the two sides turn against each other, this will not be able to restrain Sun Bofu..."

Liu Xiao laughed and said, "Haha, that's wrong, Feng Xiao, I want Sun Quan not for hostages, but for Sun Bofu's afterlife, didn't you say that Sun Ce will die at the hands of ordinary people, I will give you another One more thing, within five years, he will surely die! Once Sun Bofu dies, his son is still young, and it is definitely not his son who will take over the inheritance, but his younger brother, do you believe it or not?"

Guo Jia was shocked, and immediately understood that even if Sun Jian really unified the Jiangdong area, the time is too short, the people's hearts are not attached, and there are strong enemies outside, how could Sun Jian dare to hand over the foundation established by two generations to a young boy to take over? Palm?Brother and brother is the only way for Sun Ce to keep the Sun family's foundation!

The lord controls Sun Quan first, which is tantamount to drawing salary from the bottom of the pot!

"High, my lord is really tall!"

Guo Jia gave a thumbs up and praised.

Liu Xiao laughed and said, "Haha, order to appoint Sun Ce as the prefect of Guangling, lend him [-] soldiers and [-] stones of grain and grass, and help him attack the left area of ​​Yuan Shu River. , In addition, Zhongmou's nephew is studying at the time. Qingzhou is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and his academics are prosperous. I intend to hire a great Confucian to teach Zhongmou. He needn't worry!"
