Chapter 158
Pang Tong left Xiangyang and returned to Changsha County alone.
This is where he works, and he has his belongings here, so it is necessary to come back before leaving.
After packing up at home, getting some belongings, clothes, and getting ready to go.
"Huh, Gong Jin?"
Pang Tong had just left the room when he bumped into a beautiful person.
The person who came was Zhou Yu, and he was also considered to be half of his subordinate officials.
It's just that the two don't have a deep friendship, and for some reason they suddenly came to his home to look for it.
"Shiyuan wants to travel far away?"
Zhou Yu saw that Pang Tong was carrying two burdens, and he guessed it.
He knew Pang Tong's talent well and wanted to befriend him.
As a result, before the relationship is connected, this person wants to run, no, resolutely no.
"Exactly."
"Not going well here?"
"The world is so big, I just want to go out and go around more."
Pang Tong knew what Zhou Yu meant, and wanted him to stay in Changsha and serve Sun Ce in the future.
But forget it, according to his estimates, Shan Fu's first defect should be Sun Ce.
For nothing else, just to stop Sun Ce from attacking Yuzhou.
He served in Changsha, and naturally knew that Zhou Yu would transfer soldiers frequently in private.
The destination is the Lujiang River, and further north is Yuzhou.
He had mentioned this when he had drunk with Shan Fu before.
Presumably, Shan Fu had already guessed Sun Ce's movements and wanted to prevent him from mobilizing troops against Yuzhou, so he turned to Liu Biao.
Under the current situation, Dong Yao and Yuan Shao are evenly matched, and the two are also the most powerful.
Although Cao Cao occupied the three prefectures of Yu and Xu Yan, Yuzhou was like an empty shell after Dong Yao plundered the population.
If you want to recover, a decade or two is simply not enough.
In the final analysis, Cao Cao's forces were still the weakest among Dong and Yuan, so they could only take advantage of Dong Yao's battle with Yuan Shao to pick up the rest behind.
If Sun Ce went to march on Cao Cao, he would have completely liberated Yuan Shao.
Even so, then Yuan Shao would definitely not be Dong Yao's opponent.
Over time, Yuan Shao will be defeated.
At that time, Dong Yao will occupy Jizhou and Youzhou, and without worries, he can wave his army south, and who can stop it at that time?
If he didn't want Dong Yao's family to be alone, he could only let Cao Cao sit and reap the profits and share Yuan Shao with Dong Yao.
Sun Ce, on the other hand, needed to take advantage of this time to attack Liu Biao with all his strength and dominate the entire Jingzhou.
"Are you really going to stay?"
Zhou Yu saw that Pang Tong had made up his mind, but he could only watch the talent leave, which was really helpless.
"Don't stay, I'll see you later."
"If Shiyuan wants to choose a clear lord in the future, he can return to the land of Jiangdong, and Yu can recommend Shiyuan to Bofu."
"Thank you."
After Pang Tong thanked him, he went on the road carrying a burden.
Zhou Yu's fists clenched and soon loosened again.
He still couldn't do such a thing as killing people for his sake.
At the other end, Shan Fu went all the way down the river to Lujiang.
At present, Sun Ce's forces are divided into two factions, conservatives and radicals.
The conservative faction was composed of Zhang Zhao and other civil servants, and its purpose was to appease the local clan and conform to the time of the day, which was quite the intention of separating one side from the other.
The radicals, represented by Huang Gai and other military generals, wanted to take Yuzhou and take root in the Central Plains.
The two factions can be said to be very quarrelsome, and neither is convinced by the other.
"Master, there is a man who calls himself Shan Fu and wants to come here to see you."
In Lujiang County, Sun Ce was preparing to forcibly lead his soldiers and horses north to Yuzhou.
The herald's briefing put his plans on hold for the time being.
"Who is Shan Fu?"
Sun Ce really hasn't heard of this person, what grade, said that he can see him if he wants to?
"Lord Chen, the last general has heard of this person, and in his early years, he was named Xu Shu, because his friend took revenge and killed someone and assumed the name Shan Fu."
Huang Gai had an understanding of these rumors, and directly told Xu Shu's bottom line.
"Oh?" Sun Ce was originally not interested, but when he heard that he was killing people in revenge, his interest increased.
Then he said to the herald, "Please come in." A
moment later, Xu Shu swaggered inside, during which time he cleaned up and made himself look more energetic.
Who makes Sun Ce value his appearance very much, not only himself, but also others.
So the first time we meet, the impression is still very important.
"Under Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, meet General Sun."
Xu Shu abandoned his pseudonym and showed himself under his real name.
"I wonder why you're here?"
Sun Ce looked at Xu Shu and saw that his appearance was quite upright, and he had a good impression of him.
"The general wants to seek death, and Ute comes to see him off."
But Xu Shu's next words startled everyone present.
"Presumptuous!"
"Bold maniac, pull me down!"
"Sacrifice flag, pull down sacrifice flag!"
Immediately, the martial generals stood up and pulled out the swords at their waist.
This man was really looking for death, and he dared to blatantly curse the lord.
Moreover, the imminent expedition is extremely unlucky.
"Get down!"
Sun Ce scolded the guards who entered, and their expressions gradually became serious.
Then he said, "Go on."
"The general who captures a shell of Yuzhou, not only will he not be able to strengthen himself, but he will also be hostile by Cao Cao, this is not seeking death, what is it?"
"What if I attack Cao Cao only and not occupy it?"
Sun Ce looked at Xu Shu, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
His attack on Yuzhou was carried out in private, and this man actually guessed it.
If you don't join him, there is no need to stay.
"Does the general think that he can decide with Cao Cao, or does he firmly believe that Yuan Shao will definitely be able to defeat Dong Yao?"
The two questions raised by Xu Shu were immediately asked by Sun Ce.
Facing Cao Cao head-on, he was not sure of total victory.
But there are not many opportunities to enter the Central Plains, which is quite important to him.
"You don't have to bend around, you have something to say directly."
Sun Ce waved his hand, a little impatient.
"If the general confronts Cao Cao, Yuan Shao will be defeated."
"Then if I don't attack Cao Cao, Yuan Shao won't be defeated?"
Xu Shu's words almost made Sun Ce laugh, and now he knew that Yuan Shao would lose.
Continue to let Cao Cao be a-stirring stick, Yuan Shao is not defeated faster.
"Yuan Shao will still lose, but at the same time he will strengthen Cao Cao, which will turn the situation into Cao Cao capturing Qingzhou and some counties in Jizhou and continuing to confront Dong Yao."
"And general, you only need to use troops against Liu Biao, not only can you avenge your father, but also occupy the county, and it is not too late to occupy the original in the picture after occupying Jingzhou."
Sun Ce's smile stopped abruptly after hearing this, he had always been like his father, and he was extremely important to his origins.
After the third duke of Yuan Shao IV, he looked very tall in his heart.
This also led to a kind of contempt for Dong Yao, who was of low origin, thinking that Yuan Shao would definitely win.
Now Xu Shu mentioned the situation in Hebei in the Central Plains, which is indeed the truth.
Why should he go to make enemies of Cao Cao in order to help Yuan Shao.
Wouldn't it be better to let the three families attack each other together, and he took the opportunity to attack Liu Biao and strengthen himself?
This time he was still impulsive, Zhou Yu had persuaded him like this before, but he didn't listen at all.
Now it seems that Xu Shu's talent should be no less than Zhou Yu.
