Chapter 108 (1/2)
This man was Zhou Yu, who formally attended the meeting of Sun Jian's subordinates for the first time. Since Sun CE and Zhou Yu came back from Lujiang, sun CE directly recommended his sworn brother to Sun Jian. In fact, before that, Chen Ren and Sun Jian mentioned Zhou Yu's talent. Based on the principle of not wasting any labor force, Chen Ren insisted on putting Zhou Yu under his own hands.
However, after seeing Chen Ren's exploitation of Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu by Chen Ren, Sun Jian rejected Chen Ren's proposal mercilessly. Instead, he directly appointed Zhou Yu as Zhonglang general to lead the army with sun CE. This was the first time that Zhou Yu participated in Sun Jian's military conference as Sun Jian's Ministry.
At this time, the sergeant was still answering Sun Jian's question: ”Cao Cao got the support of the local aristocratic families in Xuzhou. First, in xiapi and Xiaopei, with the help of local aristocratic families, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren easily occupied the two cities. However, because Cao's Army wanted to block the news so as to attack Pengcheng secretly, the whole city was under martial law, so that our news could not be spread. Pengcheng was ordered by the Chen family of Xuzhou to open the gate of the city in the middle of the night, let Xiahou Dun into the city without permission, attack Tao Qian at night and some officials loyal to Tao Qian, which easily captured Pengcheng. ”
Sun Jian fell directly on his seat and murmured: ”how can this happen? How could this happen? ”
”Zici! What do you think we should do? ” Sun Jian interrupted Chen Ren and continued to observe Zhou Yu. Chen Ren looked back and saw Sun Jian looking at himself anxiously.
Chen Ren smiles, but doesn't answer Sun Jian. Instead, he turns his head and asks Guo Jia, ”I don't know what's the best strategy for filial piety?”
Guo Jia had just loosened her frown, and obviously thought of a way. But when she saw Chen Ren's funny smile, Guo Jia also showed the same smile and asked Xun Yu on the other side: ”Wen Ruo! Zici is asking you
Xunzi could not compare with Guo Jia. Looking at the smiles of Chen Ren and Guo Jia, he knew that both of them had their own ideas and were now making fun of themselves. Xun Yu was not angry and murmured: ”not a son of man!” He turned his head and ignored them. Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu seem to have got a clue, but after all, the two future gods are still lacking in experience and wisely do not speak. As for Cheng Yu sitting at the end of the meeting, Chen Ren and others did not ask him about his plan. According to Cheng Yu's character, even if he thought of a countermeasure, he would not say it in such a public place. Instead, he would ask the snake department's people to give him a gift after the meeting.
Chen Ren and Guo Jia play guessing here, but they are worried about Sun Jian and a group of military generals. Sun CE, who is also at the bottom of the table, stealthily touches Zhou Yu who is sitting beside him and asks in a low voice, ”Gongjin, do you know what the teacher and Mr. Guo think of?”
Zhou Yu gently shook his head. His experience was not much more than Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, but he only vaguely grasped the clue. Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at Chen Ren and Guo Jia with strange smiles. They were full of complexity. Since he was a child, he was called a genius. When facing Chen Ren and Guo Jia, he always felt that he had to slow down. This also made Zhou Yu feel very uncomfortable.
Naturally, Chen Ren and Chen Ren did not know Zhou Yu's complicated psychological activities. Seeing Sun Jian and others were really anxious, they no longer showed concern. Chen Ren made a gesture of invitation to Guo Jia. Guo Jia said to Sun Jian with a smile, ”my Lord! My subordinates think that the Lord can immediately send troops to capture Guangling county and seize the territory south of Baima Lake in Xuzhou! ”
”What?” Sun Jian and other people exclaimed in surprise, except Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Zhou Yu and Cheng Yu. Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang immediately showed a look of sudden enlightenment, while Xu Shu and Zhou Yu looked exactly like this. Only Cheng Yu still kept a smiling expression, which seemed to have been guessed.
”My Lord! Never Xu Sheng, who had just succeeded zumao in managing Jianye garrison, immediately hugged Sun Jian and said, ”now that the east of the river has been settled, we must not start a war with Cao Cao!”
One side of the strange looking Chen Wu also got up and clasped his fist and said, ”Lord! What Wen Xiang said is very true! Cao Cao's troops from the two prefectures went to Xuzhou, which shows that they are bound to win! However, in the early days of Jiangdong, if Guo joined the army, the number of troops would be a big problem. If there are more, Jiangdong can't guarantee it; if there are less, it will be useless! Guo's plan to join the army will not succeed! ” After Chen Wu finished speaking, a group of civil and military officials followed suit.
”Ha ha ha ha!” Before Sun Jian expressed his opinion, there was a burst of laughter, which was made by Chen Ren and Guo Jia. Guo Jia said to Xu Sheng and others with a smile: ”General Xu, General Chen, do you think that my proposal to send troops to Xuzhou is to fight against Cao Cao?”
