"The wind is blowing from the west these days. It's not strong, so we can cross the river." The general answered, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Deng, waiting for him to issue an order.

Chen Deng said: "Be prepared to resist. The scout battalion will go out to patrol the river bank in case there are spies crossing the bank to explore the military situation. Prepare the archery camp on the river bank. If we cross, we will release arrows first. Prepare fire attacks and trebuchets. The sergeants in the city are on standby at any time!"<

/p>

"Yes!" The general took the command arrow and left the city.

"Your Excellency..." Mubin said, "Sun Ce will attack with force again if he comes with troops again!"

"It doesn't matter!" Chen Deng said: "As long as we seize the opportunity, we can defeat the elite in one blow. As long as we defend, Guangling will be fine."

The guest heard what he heard and said: "Although Sun Ce is attacking here, his heart is there, right?!"

Chen Dengdao: "Liu Biao is not dead, so he will not rush to attack. Once Liu Biao dies, people's hearts will be scattered, and it is the time for him to attack Jingzhou. In recent days, I am afraid that there have been as many letters from Jiangdong to Jingzhou to recruit troops as the snowflakes in this winter..."

"If he wants to recruit people, he should cooperate internally and externally?" The curtainman said: "In this way, it will definitely be more effective once and for all than attacking the city with troops."

Chen Deng sneered: "Although Sun Ce is brave and strong, he is a young hero, but although Liu Biao is about to die, he is also an old hero. Sun Jian was not Liu Biao's opponent back then, let alone now?! Even if Cai Mao sends out elite troops, Kuai Liang is not around

, he can still defend Jingzhou even if he is lying on the hospital bed, unless he dies!"

The screenwriter smiled and said, "I think it's because Sun Ce knew Liu Biao that he only came to Guangling and was not in a hurry to go to Jingzhou."

Then Liu Biao is not really a coward.

It is true that he usually has no ambitions, nor does he have the ambition to expand the territory. He has always focused on defense, but if you think that he really has no offensive power, you are really wrong.

This person also needs to look at things and discuss them.

In times of crisis, he made decisions more ruthlessly and quickly than anyone else. He could push Cai Mao to kill Liu Bei behind the scenes, but how could he not be prepared for Jingzhou and Sun Ce!?

Regarding Jingzhou's defense, Chen Deng is not worried at all.

Even if he died unexpectedly now, he would have arranged all the follow-up work.

Liu Biao was probably waiting for Sun Ce to take action. In other words, he was pretending to be sick, not just for Liu Bei, but also for people inside and outside Jingzhou.

This old guy is very thieves now, he is just fishing by himself.

A person who can be cruel to Liu Bei when time is running out is also more capable of being cruel to those in the city who want to surrender to Jiangdong. Cai Mao is so entrenched that he cannot move and does not have the ability.

Although Cai Mao's heart is still towards Jingzhou after all.

Liu Biao had a grudge against Sun Ce. Liu Biao could allow people like Cai Mao to form cliques for personal gain. This was an internal matter, but he would never tolerate anyone collaborating with foreign enemies.

This bad old man is actually very bad! However, he is still respectable after all, a man who would rather die than make a fuss to defend Jingzhou.

On the river, the wind and waves were very strong, but on the other side, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were patrolling the river embankment, overlooking the attack and defense on the other side.

"If you go down to Guangling, you can enter Xuzhou," Zhou Yu said, "but Chen Yuanlong has always been talented. Although this man is stubborn, I am afraid he will never let the lord in. It will be difficult to attack." After all, Guangling occupies a favorable location.

.

Sun Ce frowned, "If he doesn't go out to fight, it will be difficult to lure him out of the city."

Then he said: "This person may be surrendered?!"

"I'm afraid, Chen Deng is from Xuzhou, a local wealthy family. He is interested in Liu Bei and Cao Cao, but I'm afraid he has no interest in my lord." Zhou Yu said: "This person has been subdued by Lu Xian. My lord can try to recruit him and promise him a high position. But I'm afraid

It will fail. Chen Gui is already the deputy prime minister of Xuzhou and a core figure in Lu Bu and his daughter's confidants. Chen Deng is afraid that there is no possibility of surrendering to the lord."

Sun Ce did not take Chen Deng seriously, and said arrogantly: "No matter how talented Chen Deng is, he is just a scholar after all."

"Bo Fu must not ignore this person," Zhou Yu said: "Guangling occupies an advantageous location. If he uses it properly and is not arrogant or impetuous, it may be difficult to capture Guangling. On the contrary, the lord must not be provoked by him and fall into his scheme."<

/p>

Sun Ce was silent after hearing this. He still looked down upon Chen Deng, because his opinion of Chen Deng was really not very good. No matter how strategic this man was, there were no generals in Guangling.

Therefore, I had some chance of winning the city.

Zhou Yu saw it, but he was worried.

There are many talented people in the world. For a city-defending talent, the effect of using three minutes of effort is completely different from that of using ten minutes of effort.

Ever since Chen Deng was tamed by Lu Xian, he seems to be inconspicuous, but in fact he has been quietly deploying defenses in various towns in Guangling. This man has many tricks, so Zhou Yu has to be careful.

Sun Ce is indeed a bit greedy now!

Sun Ce said: "Let me send you a letter first to try to recruit him. I will promise him respect, a high official, a generous salary, and a treasure and a horse."

Zhou Yu nodded, but thought that this person might not be able to be bribed with these things.

Zhou Yu had studied Chen Deng and felt that this man was particularly fascinating. What was fascinating was that although he admired righteousness and praised Liu Bei's loyalty, he did not follow Liu Bei and did not necessarily attach great importance to treasures.

Even if he wanted to keep his name, it didn't end well. In the end, the Chen family all demoted Lu Bu and his daughter, whom he even looked down upon.

Zhou Yu came to the conclusion that this person, Mu Qiang, had previously flirted with Cao Cao, but was later convinced by Lu Xian. And Sun Ce's reputation may not be enough to convince this person.

The Sun family and Chen Gui are still considered to be the old nobles, but the Chen family and Yuan Shu are considered to be the same level of scholars, and the Sun family is slightly inferior.

Chen Deng is actually very proud inside. I'm afraid he has never liked Sun Ce at all.

Although Jiangdong has established a foundation now, the river has always been a particularly difficult obstacle to overcome.

Sun Ce has always wanted to cross the river and take a step forward, but it is so difficult!

This terrain obstacle is too difficult to overcome.

Zhou Yu is a very confident person. He also wants Jingzhou. As long as he has Jingzhou, he will be stuck at the entrance to the Central Plains. But Jingzhou is also extremely difficult to obtain.

And if you underestimate Chen Deng, even if you don't suffer a loss, you will still achieve nothing.

Zhou Yu meant to persuade Sun Ce to focus solely on Jingzhou and divide his forces to attack Guangling, which might not be effective, but Sun Ce refused to let go of any possibility.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

He also advised Sun Ce that Liu Bei sent people to attack Guangling, which was Zhuge Liang's strategy. Now the three parties are attacking Lu Bu together, but it's not yet time. Guangling should not come now, at least until the three parties destroy Lu Bu. Today

At this time, we should first keep an eye on Jingzhou with a single goal.

But Sun Ce was very conceited and extremely stubborn and confident, so he just refused to listen to him.

Although the two were brothers, Zhou Yu could only give up and follow.

It is the foundation of being a minister to make decisions and follow them.

What’s great is just advancing and retreating together!

But Zhou Yu never dared to underestimate Chen Deng. Since this man was guarding Guangling, he was probably far away in Jingzhou.

If Liu Biao dies, it will be a huge opportunity to capture Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu doesn't want to make any mistakes.

And it seems that now Cai Mao is chasing Liu Bei, which is an opportunity. Jingzhou is empty. At this time, if he attacks Jingzhou, Cai Mao will rescue him, and Liu Bei will have to escape. This is Liu Bei's strategy.

Zhou Yu tried to persuade him, but Sun Ce refused to listen.

Zhou Yu is also very helpless now.

He returned to the military tent and scolded the marquis: "Zhang Zhao sent a letter to the governor."

Zhou Yu hurriedly opened the letter and read it. The general beside him asked: "What did Mr. Zhang say?!"

"Tell us to try our best to persuade the lord to cooperate with Chen Deng, cut off Cai Mao's return, and kill Cai Mao." Zhou Yu said.

Everyone said: "If Cai Mao dies, Jingzhou will be like sand scattered in the wind. It can be gathered together to win!"

Zhou Yu sighed: "Let's go find my lord. Although this plan is good, the risk is also very high."

Everyone should respond.

Zhou Yu entered the main tent and saw Sun Ce looking at the march map, so he conveyed Zhang Zhao's intention.

Sun Ce said: "Although Zhang Zi knows the inside and outside, he does not know the military situation. Cooperating with Chen Deng will give Jingzhou to the hands of Xuzhou for nothing. Cai Mao's survival will be a big obstacle to us, but it can also cause the danger of Jingzhou and Xuzhou."

With Liu Qi, if Liu Biao dies, I will fight with Xuzhou for Jingzhou."

Zhou Yu was silent and hesitant in his heart. Whether it was taken by force or by calculation, there were risks, and the number was 50 to 50!

"Gong Jin thought it was Xuzhou that was more difficult to deal with, or Cai Mao," Sun Ce said.

"Cai Mao's army is strong and Jingzhou will be difficult to conquer by force, but Xuzhou's plan is strong. If Liu Biao dies, Cai Mao dies, and Liu Qi enters Jingzhou, Jingzhou will have a new master, and it may be even more difficult to take it!" Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce nodded.

"The Lord's intention is to take Jingzhou by force. If he cannot take it, he will not let Xuzhou get it. When the three parties destroy Lu in the future, they will take the opportunity to take Jingzhou?!" Zhou Yu said: "I'm afraid Liu Bei will come to rob it at that time."

Sun Ce said: "Liu Bei is a lost dog now. If he wants to gain momentum, he may not be so fast. At this time, Ce has already captured Jingzhou."

Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu worried and said: "Gong Jin has no confidence?!"

Zhou Yu said: "I'm afraid something will change and I will miss a great opportunity!"

"Yes, if we don't take Jingzhou now, the situation will only become more complicated and more difficult to win in the future!" Sun Ce sighed: "This time, the two of us must be more aggressive. We must not miss any good opportunities again."

Jiangdong was defeated many times and turned back many times without success. The losses of troops and horses were huge. If they failed this time and ran out of food and grass, how could they send out troops when the supply of food and grass was not available again next spring?!

Therefore, Sun Ce hopes that Liu Biao will die this winter, and Sun Ce can capture Jingzhou before spring.

Otherwise, when there is a recession, there will be insufficient food and grass, which will cause trouble again.

Although Jiangdong is rich, the current yield per mu is very low, which is not enough to support so many troops. In addition, there are many expenses such as floods. In fact, if Jiangdong wants to develop quickly, it will take time.

In fact, what Sun Ce was thinking was right.
