Chapter 579: Forcing Sun Ce

At this time, Zhang Yu also brought up his grievances with Liu Biao, and many people will definitely not understand.

But Guo Jia understood that this was planned by Zhang Yu long ago.

The purpose is to make Master Cai Mao famous.

Sun Ce chased and killed Yuan Shu, all the way to the vicinity of Hefei City, and then came back full of ambition.

Sun Ce had no choice but to be complacent. He was young and frivolous, and used a relatively inferior force to turn the tide, and finally broke the overall situation.

It has been seven or eight days since Sun Ce returned to Wan County. At this time, Wan County was already an empty city, and there were no people except their soldiers.

However, the more than 200,000 people are no longer very important to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was very happy after returning, and called Zhou Yu and several veterans together.

"The complete victory this time is due to the concerted efforts of all of you, especially Gong Jin's strategy, which is simply a stroke of genius. Even Zhang Yu has to work hard for us." Sun Ce said proudly.

After being proud, Sun Ce asked again: "Now that Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are under our control, what do you think?"

Seeing that Sun Ce was so proud, Zhou Yu didn't pour cold water on him, and he was always feeling uneasy.

Zhou Yu suggested aloud: "Bo Fu, we control Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake. The two big lakes are connected by the Yangtze River system, so it is convenient to travel. What we need to do is to build a large number of ships, not only merchant ships, but also warships."

Sun Ce nodded and said yes, how the two great lakes are connected by boats makes it easy to travel, which is very useful.

But Huang Gai said: "My lord, this shipbuilding is not cheap at all. I heard that Zhang Yu is a good shipbuilder. Why don't we buy some from him, so that we can quickly put it into use."

Zhou Yu also agreed to buy it. After all, he built it himself. It would take several months from gathering craftsmen, building the site, and building the ship.

They have seen Zhang Yu's big ship before, but they couldn't build it.

Sun Ce pondered for a while and said, "It's a pity that Zhang Yu has never built warships, and I just offended him. I don't know if he will sell them to us."

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Bo Fu, according to Zhang Yu's personality, he will definitely earn the money.

But sooner or later, he will settle the enmity with us. In addition, we already owe Zhang Yu more than 100 million yuan. "

Sun Ce wasn't worried at all, he smiled and said, "This time we occupy so much space, we can still get it together, first give him a part, and try to make a marriage, marry Shang Xiang to Zhang Yu, and finally It’s time to discuss everything.”

Sun Ce's indifferent look made Zhou Yu very worried.

But things haven't happened yet, and there will be a way when the time comes.

The most important thing at present is to recruit troops and expand strength.

Occupying such a large territory, the army lost about 100,000, so Sun Ce naturally wanted to restore his strength as soon as possible.

The other is to continue to attack Yuan Shu, take advantage of Yuan Shu's current weakness, and knock down several counties leading to Poyang Lake, blocking all roads.

Sun Ce and the others quickly started to deploy, intending to have a rapid expansion and recruit a large number of soldiers and horses.

And Zhang Yu's fast horse continued to spread the news along the galloping road.

"I heard that Zhang Yu is really coming to suppress bandits."

"Isn't he at war with Yuan Shu? Why did he suddenly want to suppress bandits?"

"Which song is Zhang Yu singing about?"

Many people don't understand, but soon some people understand.

As soon as the news was sent to Jingzhou, Cai Mao of Jingzhou immediately reacted "strongly".

"We in Jingzhou have the ability to suppress bandits, so don't worry about Zhang Yu."

"I, Jingzhou, immediately mobilized 100,000 troops and went to Dongting Lake to suppress the bandits."

Go to Dongting Lake to suppress bandits? Going there to suppress some bandits is obviously copying Sun Ce's retreat.

Cai Mao's action was very fast, because he had already prepared, and even tens of thousands of sailors had been waiting for a long time, and immediately started to act as soon as he gave an order.

Cai Mao's reaction made many people in Jingzhou admire.

"General Cai really has backbone."

"Cai Mao is from Jingzhou no matter what, support him."

"Don't you think it's a bit strange to send troops this time?"

Cai Mao's actions were discussed with Liu Biao before, so Cai Mao didn't even ask for instructions.

Liu Biao agreed with Cai Mao's approach before, so he sent troops directly and went down the Yangtze River.

Only then did Liu Biao realize that it was Zhang Yu and Cai Mao's double reed.

But there is no way, it is impossible for Liu Biao to recruit Cai Mao's soldiers and horses back at this time.

Cai Mao did not only do this, he used chicken feathers as arrows, and sending troops always required money, food and other supplies.

If he can get it, Cai Mao will get it directly, and also go to other counties to mobilize it. Anyway, he is using this opportunity to grab more resources in his own hands.

Many counties and counties have been infiltrated by Cai Mao, and they are his own people, so the allocation of materials from them seems to be very smooth.

Afterwards, these people should not even think about coming to Cai Mao. Cai Mao has big fists and can use them properly. Who can do anything to him.

The most important thing is that Cai Mao took the opportunity to intervene in the military power of the army. He recruited some soldiers and horses of the army. When the soldiers and horses were transferred to his command, he would naturally go through some cleaning and replace his generals.

With one action, even if he went out for a stroll and came back, all the benefits would be taken by Cai Mao.

But when it's time to work, you still have to work.

A few days later, Cai Mao appeared on Dongting Lake, and he immediately ordered an attack.

Of course, it wasn't bandits who attacked, but some of Sun Ce's strongholds by the Dongting Lake.

Cai Mao continuously pulled out Sun Ce's many places on Dongting Lake, causing Sun Ce and others a lot of losses.

At the same time, Cai Mao ordered the navy at Jiangxiakou to directly cut off the Yangtze River. Except for his own ships and Zhang Yu's ships, no ships could pass.

When Cai Mao appeared on Dongting Lake, Sun Ce also received the news.

"Damn Cai Mao, you actually went to Dongting Lake at this time." Sun Ce was angry and anxious, and immediately summoned his men.

"Uncles, Gong Jin, this Cai Mao is coming after us, what can you do?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu said: "There are various indications that Cai Mao's actions are in cooperation with Zhang Yu's. Zhang Yu just said that he was going to Jingzhou to suppress the bandits, so Cai Mao used this excuse to send troops. You can know that Zhang Yu didn't take any action. The two are singing oboe."

"Zhang Yu is taking revenge on me," Sun Ce said.

Sun Ce was right, but he was only half right. Revenge on him was inevitable, but he wanted Sun Ce to be unable to attack Yuan Shu again.

Sun Ce and the others discussed for a long time, and finally decided to withdraw to protect Dongting Lake and Changsha.

He asked Zhou Yu to lead 50,000 troops to guard and develop Poyang Lake, while he rushed back with other troops.

At present, as long as Zhang Yu does not attack them and Yuan Shu has no strength for the time being, they are safe.

Sun Ce was so aggrieved that he could have continued to attack Yuan Shu and blocked all the passages leading to Poyang Lake from Yuan Shu. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
