Zhou Yu walked into the central army's tent.

Sun Jian sat upright in front of the desk, smiling. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and waved, "Gongjin, you are here just now. Bo Fu just sent a good news. He had already killed Xiahou Yuan and wiped out three thousand enemy troops. Han Yigong held the prisoners and captured flags and could arrive tomorrow morning at most."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly took over the military newspaper. He knew that Sun Ce would win this battle. Sun Jian not only gave him twice the elite of his opponent, but also allowed Han Dang and Huang Gai to cooperate with him. In addition, Huang Zhong, who had just shown his strength, it was not difficult to defeat Xiahou Yuan, but he killed the opponent's main general in the formation and wiped out the opponent's opponent. This battle won neatly and beautifully, not everyone could do it.

After reading the military newspaper, Zhou Yu was also happy for Sun Ce. From the military newspaper, there was no problem with command. Although it was a bit of a joke to subdue the opponent's warriors at the last battle, it was also in line with the nature of the Sun family father and son. It was precisely because Sun Ce captured Dian Wei that Zhao Chong was forced to surrender without fighting, and Sun Ce had enough time to support Huang Zhong, surround Xiahou Yuan, and form a complete annihilation result.

Zhou Yu did not completely agree with Sun Ce's approach, but he believed that if he had changed to him, he might not have achieved such brilliant results.

"General, the tiger father has no dog son, and Bo Fu is quite like a general in fighting." General Zhou Yu returned the news to Sun Jian, and calmly praised Sun Ce's credit on Sun Jian's head. Sun Ce's success in the battle was a good thing, so it aroused Sun Jian's suspicion and the father and son were suspicious, which was not worth the loss.

Sun Jian laughed. "The young man is terrifying. I believe you are not weaker than Bo Fu. Gongjin, I have seen your deployment of siege today. You are worthy of being a child of aristocratic families, and it is remarkable."

"The general has been awarded for it. It is because the general has good teaching. It is because of the general. Sima has rich experience and good cooperation." Zhou Yu quickly said a few politely. Sun Jian asked him to command the siege instead of Sun Ce. Most of the time he spent preparing for the siege. What he had to do was to deploy the battalions to take their positions and perform their duties. There was no real battle yet. He was not sure whether he could successfully conquer Xiangyang.

Siege is different from field battles. Even though he has watched the entire process of Sun Jian commanding the attack on Fancheng. Sun Ce won a great victory, which to some extent raised the threshold for him. If he did too poorly, wouldn’t he be laughed at?

A fire rose in Zhou Yu's heart.

Sun Jian was very excited and sighed again, then he put away his smile and changed the subject. "Gongjin, Xiahou Yuan's army was wiped out, but Cao Cao was still in Nanyang. Do you think we should rush to Wancheng to help?"

Zhou Yu knew it well. Sun Jian treated him as a confidant and could not ask him to listen to Sun Ce's achievements specifically. Cao Cao suddenly appeared in Nanyang. Whether to rush to Wancheng was the most concerned issue of Sun Jian. Sun Jian's hesitation showed that he had a knot about Yuan Shu, not the monarch and ministers who looked like he was. But this was a good thing. What Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had most worried about was that Sun Jian was confined to justice and was too scrupulous to Yuan Shu.

Everyone can see that Yuan Shu is not Yuan Shao's opponent, nor is he a wise ruler.

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, raised his head, his eyes clear. "General, did you mention that the general wants to return to the aid in the news of Nanyang?"

Sun Jian shook his head. Yuan Shu sent someone to send him news, but only told him that Cao Cao had entered the country, but did not ask him to return to Wancheng. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't make sure that Zhou Yu wanted to come for advice.

"A general is commanding his troops outside. Although he can not be ordered by the emperor, Wancheng is stronger than Xiangyang. Later, the general has more troops than the general. Cao Cao went deeper in his army. When the vanguard was wiped out, could he break through Wancheng?"

Sun Jian let out a sigh, and wanted to speak but stopped. Seeing this, Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "Are you any other concerns about the general?"

Sun Jian stood up, with his hands behind his back, turned around the tent twice, and finally stood in front of the map. "Gongjin, Cao Cao had traveled with the Later General for many years, and he was very clear about the later general's temper. If Cao Cao was not sure, he would not take such a risk."

Zhou Yu felt a little sad. When he discussed the world's major events with Sun Ce, he felt that Sun Ce attached great importance to Cao Cao. He agreed with many of his views on Sun Ce, but he did not agree with this. So far, except for Guanghe's first year to assist Huangfu Song in pacifying the Yellow Turbans of Yingchuan, Cao Cao had no mention of his military achievements. Sun Ce had never seen him, so how could he determine that Cao Cao had the ability to use troops and had such a high evaluation?

Now that he heard Sun Jian say this, Zhou Yu suddenly understood it. Sun Ce's point of view is likely from Sun Jian. Sun Jian was the only general who had victory in the battle against Dong. He said that Cao Cao had the strength and should not make a mistake.

"General, what do you think Cao Cao will do?"

"Teel the General of the Later Rear Out of the City." Sun Jian turned around and his eyes flashed. "The General of the Later Rear Out of the City is not in harmony with Yuan Benchu, and he is still a chivalrous and cannot bear the most grievance in his life. Cao Cao is very clear about this. If he deliberately stimulates the General of the Later Rear Out of the City to fight in anger, I am worried..."

Sun Jian did not continue, but Zhou Yu understood. Cao Cao had no chance of winning the attack, but if he stimulated Yuan Shu to go out of the city to fight, it would be hard to say what the result would be. Cao Cao was defeated in Xingyang, but he faced the Xiliang soldiers who were famous for his bravery. The opponent's general was Xu Rong, a famous general of the Xiliang army. Sun Ce mentioned this person many times. Cao Cao's defeat does not mean that he is not strong enough, it can only be said that he is not lucky.

You should know that Sun Jian was also defeated by Xu Rong.

On the other hand, which of Yuan Shu and those around him had the experience of leading troops to fight? If Yuan Shu really went out of the city to fight with Cao Cao, the result would be unimaginable. If the loss was too great and Cao Cao took over Wancheng, Sun Ce's plan might be vain.

Zhou Yu quickly weighed the pros and conscientiously shook his head. "I still don't agree with the general rushing to Wancheng."

Sun Jian didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhou Yu with a bright look.

"First, this is just the general's guess. The latter general may not necessarily fall into the trap, and he may not necessarily lose. Second, Xiangyang has a great relationship, and everything is ready now, and it is a pity to give up. Third, Bo Fu has just wiped out Xiahou Yuan's troops, and the general can return to aid at any time. It is not known whether Cao Cao still has the confidence to stay outside Wancheng. If the general arrives, Cao Cao has withdrawn. The latter general has not suffered defeat. Wouldn't the general violate the orders of the general and lose the opportunity to conquer Xiangyang in vain? I am worried that someone will slander the general because of this. General, you must be careful."

Sun Jian had a slight head. It was precisely because of this possibility that he couldn't decide and sent someone to ask Zhou Yu to discuss it.

"So, what should I do?"

"The general reported to the superior general and told him that Cao Cao could not stay for a long time, be at ease and wait for the subordinate general's military order."

Sun Jian pondered for a long time, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Gongjin, come and write this military newspaper."
