"Brother Gongjin, do we really want to continue to fight against Taiwei Lu?" Jiangdong, Moling, and Lu Su, who had sent Cao Cao's envoy away, came back and looked at Zhou Yu who was surveying the map and asked his doubts.

"Zijing thinks he can't fight?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.

"If the land of Shu is not in his hands, maybe we can still fight for it. The Guanzhong army is strong, but Jiangdong and Yizhou have natural dangers, so it is not so easy to invade. However, now the land of Shu has already belonged to the Taiwei, and Yuan Shao is destroyed. Cao Cao seems to be defeated now." Speaking of this, Lu Su sighed, and he didn't want to say such depressing words, but after Lu Bu captured Cao Cao, only Sun Quan and Liu Cong remained among the princes in the world.

how to spell?

"Although Lu Bu is strong, he is not really invincible. At least on this river, the northerners are not good at boats. Even if they are invincible in battle, as long as they cannot cross the river, there is nothing we can do." Zhou Yu stood by the river. After a long time, he sighed: "I know what Zijing meant by asking this question, but do you know why my lord was able to sit firmly in Jiangdong in such a chaotic situation?"

Lu Su was silent when he heard the words. When Sun Ce was killed in Xinye and Jiangdong was in chaos, Yuan Shu wanted to take the opportunity to take over Jiangdong. At that time, apart from Sun Ce, Tai Shici and other generals protecting him, Sun Quan also compromised with the Jiangdong family.

Perhaps the support of the Jiangdong gentry is the key factor for Sun Quan to gain a firm foothold.

Although they are both Jiangdong of the Sun family, Jiangdong during Sun Ce’s time and Jiangdong today are two systems. Sun Ce has strong autonomy over Jiangdong, but Sun Quan does not. To a certain extent, Sun Quan is just the spokesperson launched by the Jiangdong family , when he established himself in Jiangdong, it also meant that he no longer represented the interests of the Sun family but the entire Jiangdong gentry.

If you ask Sun Quan whether he wants to surrender, it is better to ask the attitude of the Jiangdong gentry.

In addition, Zhou Yu didn't want to surrender either. After all, it can be said that the two generations of Sun family monarchs died at the hands of Lu Bu, both public and private, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.

"Ah~" After a long time, Lu Su sighed and said, "Even if it can be blocked, Jiangdong is only a small corner."

Zhou Yu laughed when he heard this. In fact, from the moment Sun Ce died, Jiang Dong had no possibility of taking control of the Central Plains.

"Everything in the world grows from the yang of the cathode, and the yin of the anode. Don't worry. Lu Bu is over fifty years old. I think his eldest son is talented, but he is far inferior to Lu Bu. As long as he can't cross the river, after his death, his power will be great." It will eventually decline, I just want to recuperate here, and there will always be a day out of Jiangdong." Zhou Yu laughed.

"Then Cao Cao..." Lu Su suddenly looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu's attitude was obvious, and he was planning to rule the river. What about the alliance with Cao Cao?

"If you can save it, you can save it. If you can't save it, you can take the people on the north bank to cross the river." Zhou Yu said with a smile. Jiangdong is really vast and sparsely populated, and these people are needed. As for Cao Cao, if he can save it, he must save it. It's better to share the pressure alone than Jiang Dong alone, but if you can't save him, you can only be sorry. Right now, the most important thing for Jiang Dong is to protect himself in this catastrophe.

It's not that he doesn't know his lips and teeth are cold, but the war in Jiangbei makes people see no hope.

"Let's go, there are still many things to do!" Zhou Yu watched the sails in the distance disappear from sight, sighed secretly, and smiled at Lu Su, and the two of them went back to the city side by side to make the last battle for this war Prepare.

Although the battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao has ceased, the battle in Qingzhou has come to an end.

The last city has also been captured under the artillery fire of the Guanzhong army. Yuan Tan led Yuan Shang, Tian Feng and others to retreat to the Yuanshan area to deal with the Guanzhong army. In fact, Yuan Tan at this time was more like a bandit.

In the past... In fact, just a year ago, the Jizhou army had 200,000 soldiers, and even this Qingzhou had 70,000 soldiers. However, in just one year, Jizhou was wiped out, and his father died. The Jizhou army died and surrendered, the whole territory of Jizhou fell, Youzhou was also captured, and the second brother died.

Qingzhou, which he has been running for many years, was captured by the whole territory without being able to last long. He could only hide in the mountains with the remnants of his troops. For this, Tian Feng made preparations in advance and hid a large amount of grain in the mountains. People can't afford it.

"Brother!" Yuan Shang walked in quickly, holding a bamboo slip and said, "Letter from Mr. Cao."

Yuan Tan quickly took over the bamboo slips, his only hope now is Cao Cao, who fought openly and secretly in the past, but now they can only rely on each other.

However, Cao Cao's letter did not mean to counterattack. Instead, he asked them to retreat to Langya, and Cao Cao was willing to cede Langya to them.

"Boom~" Yuan Tan threw the bamboo slips to the ground a little angrily. Does he want a place to live now?

Yuan Shang silently picked up the bamboo slips, and after reading them, he smiled wryly and said, "Brother, I have inquired outside, the entire territory of Yanzhou and Yuzhou has been breached, Cao Gong can only retreat to Xuzhou now, and can't take care of himself."

Yuan Tan thought of the power of the Guanzhong Army's Vulcan cannon, sat down weakly, put his head in his hands and said, "Can I just be a bandit in this mountain for the rest of my life?"

Yuan Shang shook his head, he was also very confused, now the army has sufficient food and grass, but the morale of the soldiers is low, and if it continues like this, they can only sit and eat.

The biggest problem now is that even if they want to agree to Cao Cao and retreat to Langya, it is a luxury to go to Langya when the whole Qingzhou falls and they are trapped in the mountains.

Confined in the mountains, you can use the mountains to limit the power of the opponent's weapons, but if you step out, you will face a head-on attack from the enemy. If you stay in the mountains for a few more years, the best result for their former famous family is He has become a bandit and grass bandit entrenched in this area.

"Boom boom boom~"

Just when the two brothers were speechless and at a loss for the future, a series of explosions suddenly sounded outside. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang hurriedly got up and raised their swords. When they came to the village, they found that there was no bandit army as they had imagined. Attack the mountain.

It was only when the sentries were called to inquire that the enemy had fired a few cannons from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and had no intention of attacking the mountain.

Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was just a false alarm.

However, Yuan Shang couldn't let go, he pulled Yuan Tan's sleeve, pointed around, looking at the panicked soldiers who couldn't calm down for a long time, the two brothers fell silent.

These soldiers in the stronghold have become frightened birds, and they will fly like dogs if there are few changes. How can such an army fight?

In the end, the two had no choice but to go back to the camp to rest. They couldn't solve this problem. Even the distribution of food and money couldn't solve the practical problem. The soldiers' fear of the Guanzhong Army had been carved into their bones.

When the day comes when someone attacks, it may be self-defeating.

Thinking of this result, the two brothers were a little desperate.

Yuan Shang bid farewell to Yuan Tan, and came to Tian Feng to ask for advice: "Sir, what should we do with the current plan?"

Tian Feng was much older than a few months ago. He looked as if he had aged ten years in just a few months. There was no trace of black hair on his head, and his face was full of exhaustion. There is still some spirit in the two eyes.

Hearing this, he looked at Yuan Shang, his shriveled lips trembled, and finally he sighed and said, "My lord may accept the anonymity from now on, put aside the glory of the Yuan family, and be an ordinary person?"

Yuan Shang looked at Tian Feng and became silent. Silence is actually the best answer.

He can't accept it, even now this kind of life is already a kind of torment for Yuan Shang, who has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child. He can die in battle, but he can't make him accept mediocrity.

"Then prepare for the worst." After Tian Feng finished speaking, he bowed to Yuan Shang and said, "I'm old and incompetent, I'm ashamed of my lord!"

"Sir, don't do this!" Yuan Shang hurriedly supported Tian Feng, sighed and said, "No one would have thought of the current situation. This matter is not to blame for this, but it can only be blamed by the destiny."

The princes who are least likely to succeed along the way are the ones who finally succeed. Who would have thought of this result? Who can be blamed?

Looking at Tian Feng's aging appearance, Yuan Shang felt a little sour in his heart. He couldn't bear to bother the old man who had worked for Yuan's family for half his life, and comforted him: "Sir, please cultivate well. This is the end of the matter, and I will do everything I should do." Do it, and let fate decide what the end result will be."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shang took his leave and left with a relaxed look until he closed the door, the whole person seemed depressed. Tian Feng, who has always been resourceful and outspoken, said so, there is no need to go to other people.

Resign yourself to fate~

At least this way, it can be easier.

In the next few days, the Guanzhong Army would fire a few cannons at the foot of the mountain every day, which made the Qingzhou Army very nervous. Until the fifth day, the artillery did not come, and the envoy of the Guanzhong Army arrived.

"Xu Shu?" Yuan Tan frowned upon hearing the name, "Is that the military advisor next to Hua Xiong?"

"Exactly."

"What is he here for?"

"Mostly to persuade them to surrender." Yuan Shang sighed.

"Persuading surrender?" Yuan Tan sneered, but the next moment, he was stunned. The righteous indignation he imagined did not appear, and everyone in the tent remained silent.

"What do you guys think?" Yuan Tan looked at the crowd and asked.

"I think...it's okay to meet him, and listen to what he has to say." Guo Tu hesitated for a moment.

The overall situation of the world has actually been decided. Do you really expect Cao Cao to block Lu Bu's footsteps with Xuzhou? If he really has this ability, he won't lose Yanyu two states.

Yuan Tan looked at Xin Ping in a daze.

"If the young master is unwilling, I will order someone to blow him away." Xin Ping sighed.

Just blast out, but dare not kill.

"That's all!" Seeing this, Yuan Tan sighed and said, "Then let's see each other."

"My lord is wise!" Everyone agreed, and Yuan Shang got up and went out to welcome Xu Shu into the camp.

Looking at this junior who had been fighting with him for half a year, Tian Feng admired him a little. The Guanzhong Army was able to break through Qingzhou, although it was due to the Vulcan Cannon, Thunder God Crossbow and other weapons, but in many cases, Tian Feng's strategies were Cracked by Xu Shu, otherwise it would be impossible to lose so quickly, so thoroughly, the future generations are terrifying!
