From Feishui passes through Chaohu Lake and reaches the waterway to Liyang, the water level is gentle and very suitable for warships to move.

Therefore, it is more than several times faster than the land route.

Three days later.

Yuan Yao and 20,000 main forces arrived at the port outside Liyang City.

Since Lu Bu has been defeated by Liu Biao and the Xiliang Army, Nanyang County was divided up by the two families.

Considering the threat from Jingxiang and Liu Biao, since the pacification of Lujiang, Yuan Yao ordered Huang Zhong to join his troops to garrison in Wancheng to prevent the possibility of Liu Biao taking the opportunity to attack when his army conquered Jiangdong.

Moreover, there are changes in the Central Plains. Cao and Lu fought fiercely for Yanzhou. In order to prevent the temporary changes, Yuan Shu also ordered Ji Ling to lead another unit to Runan County.

It was precisely because of the slight dispersion of the troops that Yuan Yao had only more than 20,000 troops left in the military force used to conquer Wu.

Outside Liyang City.

At this moment, I saw a young man wearing a white mat, eight feet long, standing with his hair tied up, a sword hanging on his waist, starry-eyed, handsome and extremely handsome face, organizing a convoy to wait quietly outside the city gate.

There seemed to be a ray of light in his eyes.

Looking from afar, this person is only 20 years old and has not yet reached the age of the championship.

After Yuan Yao and his generals arrived, the young man stepped forward and bowed and said loudly:

"Zhou Yu, Shucheng, Lujiang, brought many people to reward the army, hoping that the prince could lead a majestic army to attack Jiangdong and pacify the counties in one fell swoop."

Zhou Yu showed his extremely handsome face and said loudly without losing his demeanor.

Zhou Yu?

The person in front of him was the Eastern Wu general who was known as "there is a mistake in the Qu, Zhou Langgu"?

Seeing that Zhou Yu actually came to Liyang to reward his side, Yuan Yao was unexpected for a moment!

When he recovered Shucheng, he even went to Zhou's mansion to pay a visit.

But it's a pity.

I didn't see Zhou Yu himself.

However, I didn't expect that today I met the man with a romantic temperament in history when I went to Jiangdong.

Yuan Yao looked a little calm on his face. He looked at Zhou Yu for a moment. Seeing that he was still young, he was not much different from himself and Sun Ce's age.

Then, he couldn't help but reply:

"You are Zhou Yu, the prince of Zhou Mansion in Shucheng. Yao will thank you for your reward for the entire army."

After this statement was finished, Sun Ce on the side rushed out, and a loud cheerful cry appeared on his face:

"It's Gongjin..."

"Yeah, Bofu?"

"You also follow the young master to cross the river to attack Jiangdong?"

Hearing the sound, Zhou Yu looked back and saw the familiar figure, and couldn't help but greet him unconsciously.

"Um……"

Sun Ce responded solemnly and said:

"Gongjin, why are you in Liyang? Did you make a special trip to wait for the army to come?"

"Ha ha……"

After a while, Zhou Yu smiled heartily and responded:

"It's better for Bo Fu to understand me."

Seeing that the two were having a great time chatting and almost forgot themselves, Yuan Yao suddenly said:

"Since Gongjin has sponsored so much military supplies this time, Yaoli should do his best to hold a banquet with the mansion. I hope Gongjin will not refuse."

"Please see you, it's what you wish!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu did not hesitate too much and agreed.

For him, the original intention of coming to reward the army in person was to temporarily join the Yuan family.

Since Yuan Yao took the initiative to throw out his olive branch, why not do it?

He originally hoped that his good friend Sun Ce would leave the Yuan family and lead a group of soldiers across the river to attack Jiangdong to be the basis for success, but he did not expect that Yuan Yao would quickly win several counties in Jiangdong with such a decisive decision.

Zhou Yu knew very well that if the Yuan family really wanted to occupy all the six counties in Yangzhou, even if Sun Ce wanted to leave alone in the future, he would probably never be able to achieve the foundation for great cause.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Yu decided to join Yuan.

With the great reputation that Yuan Yao has made in the Jiang and Huai lands over the past few months, it is so desirable!

Even Zhou Yu is no exception.

It would be a blessing to be able to follow these people to fight on the battlefield?

During the meal.

Yuan Yao held a banquet at the military palace to entertain Zhou Yu, and accompanied the generals in the army.

At this time, Sun Ce drank a drink alone on one side. He thought a lot. Although he really wanted Zhou Yu to come and help him, the two of them worked together to make a career come.

But when I think about the fact that I can only rely on the Yuan family, what capital should I have to go to control Zhou Yu's choice?

"If I really force Gongjin to change the choice he made with my friend's affection, wouldn't I be too selfish?"

For a moment, two thoughts collided with each other, squeezing and controlling his thoughts.

Sun Ce knew in his heart that Zhou Yu's actions were already determined today

Finally, Sun Ce's breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes couldn't help but look at Yuan Yao in the upper head, and took the initiative to bow and speak:

"Qi reported to the young master, Ce and Gongjin had a close relationship since childhood. He knew that he had studied military books and war strategies since childhood, read poetry and books well, and had the talent of national scholars."

"Cai is willing to recommend Gongjin, and I hope the young master can entrust him to use it!"

After a while, Zhou Yu's eyes on the side couldn't help but appear on Sun Ce. Seeing that his expression was falling on his face, there was not much unpleasantness.

He sincerely thanked him.

As soon as this statement comes out.

Although Yuan Yao was a little surprised that Sun Ce would recommend Zhou Yu's talent to him, he did not make too much trouble. Instead, his eyes quickly looked at Zhou Yu, and his words were filled with joy.

"Gongjin, Ace has been shown to score points since he followed Yao to command the troops. Since he has a strong relationship with you, he now recommends you and me personally. Yao should pay attention to it!"

"I wonder if Gongjin is willing to join me and make great achievements with me, so as to achieve the cause of kings and dominance, and leave his name in history?"

For a moment, in order to show his importance to Zhou Yu, Yuan Yao also showed him his lofty ambitions and goals.

After the words are finished.

Zhou Yu also looked at Yuan Yao's eyes carefully, seeing that the importance he showed was not like a false statement. He pondered for a while and then said:

"Since the young master valued Yu so much and had Bo Fu personally recommended him, Yu really felt favored!"

"Yu is willing to join the prince's command and is willing to cross the river together to attack the counties in Jiangdong."

For a moment, Zhou Yu was not a hesitant person, and he quickly agreed.

He had already made up his mind to join Yuan.

Now Yuan Yao takes the initiative to recruit him and gives him a lot of face.

Zhou Yu had no reason not to agree.

...

The banquet was also very happy because it successfully recovered Zhou Yu.

All the generals were laughing and laughing.

Immediately afterwards, the Yuan army units began to prepare for war in an orderly manner, so as to prepare sufficient military supplies and other logistics supplies, as well as collect front-line military newspapers.
