The Lu family at the end of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 111 Actions of all parties
"Cao Cao asked me to send troops to attack Lu Bu, what do you think?"

The Battle of Bingzhou is almost over, and only some remnants are left to resist stubbornly, but it will be a matter of time before they will be wiped out.

After Sun Ce left behind two generals who did not make much military exploits in Bingzhou, he led his troops back to Wanling, Yangzhou.

Soon after, Man Chong, Cao Cao's emissary, arrived.

After conveying Cao Cao's awareness, Sun Ce summoned a group of advisers and generals to discuss.

"I think we should fight!"

Which column of generals, all the main battle!

"what about you?"

Sun Ce looked at the counselor's side again.

The advisers are nothing more than Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Lu Su and others.

And Zhou Yu is a wonderful person, he can count both.

"My lord, what else did Cao Cao say?"

Interior Minister Zhang Zhao asked.

"Cao Cao also said that he wanted Lu Bu's food and grass, and gave us the land."

Sun Ce told the truth.

"It seems that there are rumors that Cao Cao's food storage base was destroyed by Yuan Shao. It seems that this should be true. Cao Cao, who has no food, has hit the idea on Lu Bu, who has a good harvest."

Lu Su interjected.

Everyone nodded.

"Then should we join forces with Cao Cao?"

Having said that, it seems that I still haven't talked about the main point.

"We sent troops, but we couldn't use our full strength!"

Lu Su said.

"Oh? What do you think Zijing has to say?"

Sun Tactics asked with interest.

This Lu Su lived up to expectations and prevented Lu Bu from causing trouble for him, which made Sun Ce very satisfied.

Now that he has started to make suggestions again, Sun Ce is still looking forward to it.

"We can send a general to attack Lujiang County, while the lord will station troops in Wu County. If Cao Cao gives us Jiujiang County as promised, we will stand still. If Cao Cao does not give it to Lujiang County, we can take part of it from Wu County. Send troops to attack Cao Cao from both sides, and then the lord will personally lead the troops to capture Xuzhou!"

Lu Su said everything right, which made Sun Ce very satisfied.

"What's Gongjin's opinion?"

Zhou Yu has not spoken, and Sun Ce still has to ask his opinion.

"Zijing's method is very good, I completely agree!"

Zhou Yu also looked at Lu Su differently.

"Okay, then who will lead the troops to attack Lujiang County?"

Zhou Yu agreed, so this matter should be fine.

However, who will be the general is still a big problem.

"Ziyi has been staying in Danyang these past few months and hasn't taken action for a long time. Plus he is close to Lujiang County. How about letting him go?"

Lu Su spoke again.

"Okay, then let Ziyi be the vanguard, and Zijing you will be the general. Well, Ling Tong will also go with Zijing!"

Considering that Lu Bu was powerful, Sun Ce still worried that Tai Shici would suffer, so he sent Ling Tong as well.

"As ordered!"

Lu Su and Ling Tong stood out and took orders from Sun Ce.

"Hey, Yidu, Degui, you two are finally here!"

In Jingzhou and Xiangyang City, Liu Biao was very worried.

Liu Biaoye breathed a sigh of relief when his two capable generals, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, finally arrived.

"Master Zhou asked me to wait for the two of you, why?"

Seeing Liu Biao's anxious look, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue also had different expressions on their faces.

"Well, you two don't know. Lu Bu and Cao Cao sent envoys Zhuge Jin and Mao Jie successively to buy grain and grass from me. I sold Lu Bu 40 shi of grain at first, and now Lu Bu sent someone to buy grain. Buy 50 shi of grain, what do you think I should do?"

Liu Biao didn't want to offend Cao Cao or Lu Bu, but he was afraid that if he gave them food and fattened them up, he would cause trouble, and if he didn't, he was afraid of offending them and bringing disaster to him.

This put Liu Biao in a dilemma!
"It is said that Cao Cao is indeed short of food now, and Cao Cao has the emperor in his hands, and he has great righteousness. There is nothing wrong with selling food to him. On the contrary, it will make him fight Yuan Shao more fiercely, and take care of us in Jingzhou flawlessly."

As a celebrity in Jingzhou, Kuai Yue had a much longer-term vision than Cai Mao.

"Well, indeed, that Mao Jie did move the emperor out, and he should sell them food."

Liu Biao thought for a while and agreed with Kuai Yue's opinion.

How can today's son say that he is also his relative, and he can be regarded as Liu Biao's nephew, so it would be a bit embarrassing not to give him.

"But Lu Bu can't do it. I heard that Lu Bu has a good harvest this year. He must have ulterior motives when he asks us to buy grain. We can't give it to him!"

When Lu Bu was mentioned, Kuai Yue's expression turned pale.

"But, wouldn't this offend Lu Bu?"

For Lu Bu, Liu Biao was very jealous.

"What's the difficulty? We told Lu Bu that all the grain had been sold to Cao Cao. We really couldn't get it out. We asked Lu Bu to trouble Cao Cao."

Kuai Yue had already thought of these things a long time ago, and planned to pass the responsibility on to Cao Cao.

"Degui, what do you think?"

Cai Mao is his brother-in-law and the head of the Cai family, a wealthy family in Jingzhou. Liu Biao still wants to hear his opinion.

"Zhou Mu, I have no objection."

Cai Mao did not have any objections, because he was only good at intrigue among family members and intrigues in terms of interests. For these confrontations in battle, he was a complete idiot.

"Xiandu is really my think tank, so just do what Xiandu says!"

Since the two big families in Jingzhou, the Cai family and the Kuai family, have no objections, Liu Biaoye doesn't have to worry about it so much.

Liu Biao is in a good mood now, and he is not as anxious as before.

After Cao Cao got the help of Liu Biao and Sun Ce, he immediately launched an attack on Lu Bu.

Sun Ce also asked Tai Shici to lead [-] troops to capture Lujiang County.

Jiujiang County, which has been stable for several months, is finally full of war again.
