Three Kingdoms: I choose to assist Sun Jian

But since parting ways, there has been no contact between the two.

Tao Qian never thought of it!

Back then, a little prefect who had to rely on Yuan Shu for food and grass grew to such an extent in such a short period of time!

The six counties of Yangzhou!

It was the largest state in the Eastern Han Dynasty besides Yizhou and Liangzhou!

Almost one-third of the entire South!

How did Sun Jian manage such a large territory!

In front of Tao Qian, Xuzhou don't drive Zhao Yu to see this, he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:

"Master Inspector, now is not the time for our army to hesitate!"

"Now that Sun Jian has seized the six counties of Yangzhou, our army's Xuzhou Guangling is on its side. If Sun Jian goes north, our army's Guangling will bear the brunt of it!"

"Although our army doesn't know Sun Jian's attitude now, I ask the governor to make a quick decision!"

Listening to Zhao Yuzhi's words, Tao Qian's old eyes showed a trace of helplessness and said:

"In your opinion, what should our army do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu cupped his hands and said:

"Reporting to the prefect, in my opinion, our army should quickly increase our troops to Guangling to prevent being suddenly attacked by Sun Jian!"

"At the same time, send envoys to congratulate Sun Jian with gifts, and express the goodwill of our army to Sun Jian, so that he will not be malicious to our army!"

"Ugh!"

When Tao Qian heard this, he sighed slightly:

"For now, that's all there is to it!"

"Yuan Da, go down and do it!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly took orders and left.

And Tao Qian looked at Zhao Yu's leaving back, and a trace of worry flashed across his old face again.

Sun Jian's counselor is called Bai Liming, right?

In just half a year, such a big foundation was laid for Sun Jian.

With such a genius under Sun Jian's command, how can he be cured in the future?

Thinking of this, Tao Qian stood up tremblingly, as if at this moment, he was a little older.

Chapter 103 Lao Cao's Sigh, Zhicai is not dead, Guo Jia will come out

Yanzhou, East County.

While Jingzhou and Xuzhou received the news, Cao Cao in Yanzhou naturally also received the news from Jiangdong.

However, the news he received was a bit later than the previous two.

Originally, after he entered Dongjun, following Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others to vote, the power under his command was strengthened again.

Under the recommendation of the two, he reunited with his former friend Xi Zhong Xi Zhicai.

For a time, both civil and military skills were available, and the talent team under his command grew again.

Thanks to the help of Xi Zhicai, in the middle of the year, he defeated Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu, Yu Fu Luo and others in Dongjun, and gained a lot of popularity in Yanzhou.

Now is the time when the spring breeze is proud, and I did not expect to receive such news.

At this time, in Cao Cao's mansion, Cao Cao was listening to Xi Xian's report with a serious face:

"My lord, our army has received news that Sun Jian personally led an army of [-] to go south to Jiangdong a few months ago."

"The three counties of Danyang, Wu, and Kuaiji were defeated in a row, and Yuzhang Huaxin was persuaded to surrender."

"Now the six counties of Yangzhou have been basically captured, and the number of soldiers and horses has expanded to nearly 20!"

"According to my estimation, once Sun Jian fully takes over the six counties of Yangzhou, then the next step will be to go west or north!"

In front of Cao Cao, I saw Xi Zhong wearing a Confucian scarf, not tall, about thirty years old, with a long beard under his chin, and a calm face. At first glance, he was a calm person.

And beside Xi Zhong, there were two scribes sitting.

One of them was more than eight feet tall, with a burly figure and a serious face. Even if he was dressed as a scribe, he couldn't hide the murderous look on his face.

The other person is of medium build, handsome in appearance, with a flowing beard and beard under his chin, looking quite chic and handsome.

These two are Cheng Yu, Cao Cao's new recruit, and Xun Wenruo, the king of the generation.

Listening to Xi Zhong's report, the three of them wrinkled their faces for a moment.

Cheng Yu frowned and said:

"I don't think that Sun Jian would be so courageous. Within a few months after seizing Huainan, he dared to send troops southward before Huainan was stabilized!"

"Furthermore, the strategic goal is so large, covering the area of ​​three counties, this kind of tactics is not crazy!"

"Yes!"

When Xun Yu heard this, there was a trace of shock on his delicate brows and he said:

"Sun Jian is really a character!"

"Swiping thousands of miles like this is quite like the Marquis of Huaiyin who wiped out the four kingdoms in one fell swoop!"

"The two of you are probably wrong!"

Hearing the emotion of the two sages under his command, Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said:

"Then I understand Sun Jian!"

"Although he is unparalleled in bravery and has a good military strategy, he is not the one who can fight this battle!"

"There is someone else who planned this strategy!"

"Someone else?"

Cheng Yu and Xun Yu were shocked when they heard this, they looked at Cao Cao in surprise and said:

"Does my lord know the inside story of Sun Jian's army's battle?"

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head and said:

"It's not about knowing the inside story, but knowing about Sun Jian!"

"As far as Sun Jian is concerned, he is actually a rare famous general, but he is only good at fighting local wars. A battle like this that spans thousands of miles must be planned by the people under his command!"

"Could it be that Bai Liming that my lord is talking about?"

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Xi Zhong stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes and said:

"I have heard of this person's name, but unfortunately I have never seen it, so I don't know much about it!"

When Cheng Yu and Xun Yu heard this, they hurriedly looked at Cao Cao and said:

"Speaking of which, my lord has known this person a long time ago, so I must have known him!"

"Oh! More than understanding!"

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh slightly as he listened, and the young figure standing behind Sun Jian when he was begging for Dong appeared again in his heart and said:

"If you talk about this person, he is really a rare genius in the world~〃!"

"I don't know what to say!"

"When I was waiting to discuss Dong, this person joined Sun Jian alone!"

"Sun Jian's army had less than one day left of food and grass!"

"We all thought that Sun Jian would lose this battle, but as soon as this man entered the camp, he expected the enemy's surprise attack at night and set up an ambush for Sun Jian!"

"After the first battle, Sun Jian was not only undefeated, but took advantage of the situation to capture Sishui Pass!"

Having said that, he looked at the three of them and said:

"Think about it, everyone, Sun Jian's army was only [-] soldiers back then, but he captured Sishui Pass with [-] defenders!"

"You can imagine the difficulty of this battle!"

"What? Thirty thousand versus fifty thousand?"

Hearing this, both Cheng Yu and Xun Yu trembled.

And Xi Zhong also stared.

Hit the strong with the weak, and even seize the pass?

What a concept!

That is something that most people dare not even think about!

And this Bai Liming actually did it?

What kind of monster is this!

But Cao Cao was surprised by the three of them, but shook his head and said:

"Three, that's not all!"

"After capturing Sishui Pass, this person advised Sun Jian to go north to Hedong!"

"As a result, not long after Sun Jian left, our coalition forces were defeated by Dong Zhuo!"

"Before, I still couldn't figure out why Sun Jian would give up the opportunity to enter Luoyang so kindly!"

"But now that I think about it, it's clear that Bai Liming predicted that our coalition forces would be defeated!"

"Thus, guide Sun Jian to go in the direction of the river east!"

"There are such capable people in this world?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yu suppressed his astonishment, and his expression was solemn.

Xun Yu also frowned for a while.

Only Xi Zhong, after thinking for a while, stared and said:

"In this way, in my lord's opinion, Bai Liming went to Hedong because he expected the defeat of the coalition forces!"

"But after Sun Jian's army went north to Hedong, they still went south, and took advantage of the situation to surprise Dong Zhuo's retreating army!"

"Doesn't that mean that while Bai Liming predicted the defeat of the coalition army, he also predicted Dong Zhuo's future actions?"

"Exactly!"

Cao Cao shook his head upon hearing this and said:

"That's why I call this person a wizard!"

"It's because Sun Jian went north to Hedong not simply to prevent himself from retreating, but also to stop Dong Zhuo!"

"That is to say, Bai Liming, after capturing Sishui Pass, predicted all the subsequent battles!"

"And with his own strength, he deceived the coalition army and everyone in Dong Zhuo's army, and made a plan to go north to Hedong, and finally defeated Dong Zhuo in the outskirts of Luoyang!"

Having said that, he looked at everyone with a wry smile and said:

"Now, do you know why I dare to conclude that Bailiming is the one who made this strategy?"

"Because apart from this person, there is no one in the world who is so good at the battle of extraordinary achievements!"

"Is this person actually capable?"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu were shocked again.

There was even a chill down the back for a while.

Before that, they didn't know the details of asking for Dong. They only knew that Sun Jian had a counselor under his command, and he was very praised.

But hearing these deeds now, I feel a burst of fear for a while.

What kind of thought is it to achieve such a meticulous layout?
