Chapter 1785:
Soon, Sun Ce met Zhou Ye...
He and Zhou Ye talked in detail in the room for more than an hour. Besides him and Zhou Ye, Zhuge Xiangxue was also involved.
When he walked out of Zhou Ye's room, he immediately ordered someone to write a proclamation to show the world... From then on, the Sun Clan of Jiangdong will always belong to Zhou Boyang of Jingzhou.
Seeing this proclamation, all the princes in the world were frightened...
From their point of view, although the Jiangdong Sun Clan was subordinate to Zhou Ye in name, it was only in name... The two sides were not under the same control.
However, with the issuance of Sun Ce's statement, that is to say - Sun Ce has really surrendered to Zhou Ye from now on. Is this the first shot that Zhou Ye fired to compete for the world? ?
And the person who is most worried about this matter is Cao Cao... He hurriedly ordered Guo Jia to write a decree in the name of the emperor, making Jiangdong Sun Ce the Marquis of Wu and leading Jingzhou Shepherd...
This is equivalent to telling Sun Ce that Jingzhou is yours... go get it.
And Sun Ce naturally wouldn't accept this plan... How could he not see such an obvious counter-measure? ?
Not only did he not accept the decree, but Sun Ce cut down the decree officer, and then ordered his head to be sent back to Xuchang... In addition, he took the whole family and moved to Jingzhou Mansion to live... That means, I myself sent it to the door. Come to be a hostage... You should stop thinking about dividing the relationship between me and my master.
As a result, Cao Cao had no choice but to give up...
Since the relationship between the two cannot be separated, then Cao Cao can only increase the time to train his troops and prepare for battle... He is now relying on the emperor to command the princes... With such a general trend, he does not want to lose...
However, Zhou Ye's actions made the princes incomprehensible again...
After the Naxian Order was issued, Zhou Ye did not recruit troops, nor did he even step up the training of the existing soldiers... How should I live my life...
This made all the princes worried, but also felt lucky... Is this guy Zhou Boyang teasing us... In fact, he doesn't mean to fight for the world at all? ?
A year has passed……
Zhou Ye didn't move...
Two years have passed...
Zhou Ye still didn't move...
This immediately made all the princes feel relieved... After all, if you want to dominate the world, you must train your soldiers, right? ?
Although the blood dragon cavalry is powerful, there are only 20,000 people... such a number, it is enough to guard the nine counties of Jingxiang, but to dominate the world... it is almost impossible.

Chapter 2168
However, just when the princes were rejoicing...
Cao Cao is even more like an enemy... At this time, he has already wiped out Yuan Shu and annexed Jizhou and Qingzhou... And Xuzhou is guarded jointly by Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and he has to attack Yuan Shu for the time being. Hand, so I haven't done it for the time being...
Even though Cao Cao has monopolized a quarter of the twelve prefectures in the world, he is still worried about Zhou Ye... When he wants to sleep, he has to stare at Jingzhou with one eye open...
In order to prevent Zhou Ye from attacking, he even ordered Cao Ren to station troops in Huaiyang City, training troops day and night, and not slack.
In addition, he also recruited civilians to strengthen the city walls of Xingyang and other places...
Even, at the cost of a lot of money, he ordered people to cast huge and thick iron city gates... to replace all the pass fortresses for himself.
Why is this so? ?
Because Cao Cao has seen how Zhou Bu broke the city...
The wooden city gate, which is half a meter thick, is as fragile as paper and mud under Zhou Bu's siege cone.
How could he continue to use the wooden gates at such a tense moment? It was like giving Zhou Ye the city.
After preparing so intensely for two years... Zhou Ye still didn't move...
In this regard, Cao Cao's courtiers can't help but start some rumors...
What to say, the Prime Minister of his own is completely unfounded...
What else to say, just a mere Zhou Boyang, why should the Prime Minister be afraid of him like this... Just by ordering an army of 200,000 people, it will take less than a month to capture the nine counties of Jingzhou, so that Zhou Ye will die without a place to bury...
Xuchang - Prime Minister's Mansion... Cao Cao's study.
"Master..." X3
Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion together to visit Cao Cao...
"Oh? Why did the three of you come so neatly today??" At this time, Cao Cao was holding a military scroll and studying the art of war, and it was quite strange to see his three major advisors coming one after another. "Is there something important to report??"
"My lord..." Xun Yu bowed and said, "It's been three years...you have prepared for the battle with all your strength and let the soldiers practice day and night, and the soldiers below have complained a lot... Since you are so afraid of Zhou Boyang , why don't you just raise your troops to fight? If you continue like this... I'm afraid something will happen!"
"Oh??" Hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and did not answer, but looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu: "Are you here to talk about this?"
"That's right, my lord!" Guo Jia nodded and replied...
"As Mr. Xun Yu said, my lord... If things continue like this, the people below will panic... It's not a long-term solution!" Jia Xu said here, and suggested, "My lord, why don't you order someone to bring a family letter and send it to Jingzhou, Let's find out what the ladies are saying, and see what the plan of Zhou Boyang in Jingzhou is?
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but let out a wry smile and said, "Wen He thought I didn't send someone to Jingzhou??"
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, the three advisors glanced at each other...
It seems that the master from the family has already ordered someone to send a letter to the family...
It's just that the news may not be as optimistic as I and others think...
Thinking of this, Xun Yu asked, "Then... how did the ladies reply to the lord??"
"..." Hearing Xun Yu's question, Cao Cao was silent for a moment... Then he said, "No reply... not even a few words..."
"This..." The three advisors were stunned when they heard the words...
"No reply is the best reply!" Cao Cao said with a wry smile: "I can understand the situation of Qing'er and the others... Being sandwiched between me and Zhou Boyang is also embarrassing for them... and there is no reply, I think , they are just telling me... this matter is not good anymore..."
While Cao Cao was talking...
Suddenly a servant rushed in in a hurry... "Reporting to the lord... Jingzhou urgent news..."
Hearing the news from Jingzhou... Cao Cao didn't care that he didn't have his shoes on, he jumped up from behind the desk, rushed to the servant in two steps, and grabbed the secret letter written on silk in his hand. in hand...
After getting the secret letter... Cao Cao didn't dare to open the secret letter for a while...
After hesitating for a moment, he handed the secret letter in his hand to Xun Yu... "Wen Ruo, come and read..."
"Here!"
Xun Yu took the secret letter from Jingzhou from Cao Cao... He saw a secret letter embroidered on the silk at a glance...
