Just as Liu Bei and Han Fei were making plans for Liaodong! Sun Ce in Jiangnan was preparing to attack Liu Yao.

Liu Yao was originally the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the court, but Yuan Shu was in great power, so he had no choice but to abandon Yangzhou and come to Yuzhang. The original prefect of Yuzhang Zhou Shu died of illness, so Liu Yao took over the position of prefect! Now that Yuan Shu is dead, Liu Yao thought about counterattacking Yangzhou! So he followed the plan of his adviser Gu Yong and sent Fan Neng and Zhang Ying to Yangzhou to capture the important town of Lujiang!

After Yuan Shu's death, most of Yangzhou fought on their own, so Fan Neng and Zhang Ying fought down Lujiang without much effort. But this is a good thing. Liu Yao and Sun Ce, who had no borders, finally bordered after capturing Lujiang! This is also the most direct reason why Sun Ce decided to attack Liu Yao!

So after Sun Ce digested Xu Shao's power, he used Huang Gai as the vanguard and Zhou Yu as the military advisor to raise an army of 30,000, and sent troops to Lujiang. Liu Yao received the news, but he did not dare to neglect! He led his troops to Lujiang to fight with Sun Ce here!

Taishici was not optimistic about this duel, so he said to Liu Yao: "Lord, Sun Ce is brave and Zhou Yu's wisdom, our army is probably not his opponent, so it's better to avoid his sharp edge for the time being!"

Liu Yao said, "It's really a last resort for me to compete with him! If I allow him to occupy Lujiang, our army will be trapped and killed in Yuzhang!"

After saying that, Liu Yao sighed and said, "Now that Yuan Shu has just died, Sun Ce is rising again! Is my great man really helpless?"

"Lord, although I am not talented, I am willing to restore the Han Dynasty with you!" Taishici said loudly.

"Okay!" Liu Yao responded. "With Ziyi helping me, this time, Sun Ce will definitely return without success!"

Sun Ce led his army to attack Lujiang, while Liu Yao led his troops to garrison! So the two sides started a fierce confrontation under Lujiang City! However, unexpectedly, Liu Yao took advantage of the city and tied with Sun Ce's army!

At the critical moment, Zhou Yu took action. He first sent troops to attack Liu Yao's food route, and then used this as bait! The general Taishi Ci, who lured Liu Yao, led his army out of the city, but he was surrounded in a valley!

Liu Yao was extremely anxious to hear the news, so he hurriedly sent two generals Fan Neng and Zhang Ying to rescue him! Fortunately, Taishi Ci finally insisted on the two coming to help. Although he was seriously injured, he still fled back to Lujiang City! However, the 5,000 troops he brought out were less than a thousand people back!

After this battle, Liu Yao's morale suffered a great blow. In addition, Taishi Ci was seriously injured and died frequently, which made Liu Yao feel more stressed! At this time, Gu Yong advised him: "It's better to ask for help for the lord's plan for the present!"

Liu Yao said confusedly: "Who can help reinforcements in troubled times now!"

"There is only one person who may be reinforcements!"

"Who?"

"Liu Bei and Liu Xuande! The lord and he are relatives of the Han Dynasty. Although they have never been masked, they know their names! Also, Liu Xuande has the intention to revive the Han Dynasty and the power to revive the Han Dynasty! The lord may be able to live in a certain place under his command in the future!" After Gu Yong finished speaking, he waited for Liu Yao's reply.

Liu Yao was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "Well! If Liu Bei had the intention to revive the Han Dynasty, what's wrong with me surrendering him!"

"But this place is so long that Liu Bei is willing to help, and he is afraid that the distance cannot relieve his near thirst!" Liu Yao suddenly frowned and said.

At this time, Gu Yong no longer concealed it. He said to Liu Yao: "My mentor is Cai Yong, and the lord should know it!"

After hearing this, Liu Yao nodded, he knew about it. Then Gu Yong continued, "The teacher has a daughter named Cai Yan, who is now married to Liu Bei's military advisor Han Fei as his wife! Just a few days ago, the teacher just sent me a letter and invited me to go to Qingzhou to become an official!"

"Oh! Why didn't you go?" Liu Yao asked curiously after hearing this.

"The lord is just the time to use people, so how can I leave? Let me listen to me, the sender came by by water. He told me that the Clippers will only take ten days to come from Qingzhou!"

"What? It only takes ten days? Take this matter seriously?"

"Lord, it's true!"

"So, if I ask for help now, the reinforcements will arrive in as early as 20 days?" Liu Yao still disbelieved. However, Gu Yongzhi nodded firmly.

"Okay, then please let Yuan sigh! You can write a letter for me and ask for help!" Liu Yao said as he handed over the private seal to Gu Yong. Gu Yong took the order and left.

Let go of Gu Yong for help, let’s talk about Sun Ce. He used Zhou Yu’s plan to annihilate nearly 5,000 soldiers of Liu Yao, which made Sun Ce proud.

At this time, no one can compete with him in Jiangnan! Even Liu Yao was huddled in Lujiang City at this moment and dared not show up! Just when Sun Ce was full of compliment, Xuchang's imperial edict was sent to Sun Ce's army!

It turned out that Cao Cao led his army back to Xuchang, leaving behind the general Xu Huang to guard Shouchun! This time he returned to Xuchang with the power of the great victory. Cao Cao got promoted to the prime minister as he wished, and took over the power of the court.

But what he didn't expect was that the army had just left Shouchun City, and then Sun Ce began to conquer Yangzhou and Jiangnan! In order to prevent Sun Ce from becoming bigger, Prime Minister Cao issued an imperial edict for the first time under the name of the emperor!

Sun Ce was granted the title of the prefect of Jiaozhi, Zhou Yu was the prefect of Wujun, Huang Gai was the prefect of Hangyu, etc. All the generals under Sun Ce were rewarded, but if these people were allowed to take office, Sun Ce's army would immediately become divided.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu blankly with the imperial edict. He still didn't know what medicine was sold in Cao Cao's gourd. However, Zhou Yu had understood Cao Cao's sinister intentions early in the morning! He was to provoke a fight within Sun Ce's army and then weaken Sun Ce's army!

Even though he understood, this was an open conspiracy, Zhou Yu could not easily solve it! With Zhou Yu's patient explanation, Sun Ce was furious. He grabbed the imperial edict and threw it on the ground, and then angrily scolded the angel and said, "You go back and tell Cao Cao! When I subdue Jiangnan, I will go to Xuchang to meet him!"

When the angel saw that Sun Ce was already angry, he did not dare to stay for too long, so he hurriedly returned to Xuchang! When Cao Cao learned about this, he immediately sneered: "How dare the ignorant child despise the court and disrespect the imperial edict! I will attack him!"

Guo Jia said at this time: "Lord, don't be angry. Although Sun Ce is brave, he must first fight every time, right and wrong to the monarch. Sooner or later, he will be harmed by a slut and will not be able to end up well!"

"Oh, since the military advisor said that, you must have a solution! In this way, there will be no major trouble in the south! Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed after saying that.

Sun Ce said that he was tough, but he was also afraid that Cao Cao would lead his army to attack! So he sent Cheng Pu and Han Dang to lead the army to monitor every move in the north! However, as time went by, there was still no movement in Cao's army. Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and focused on dealing with Liu Yao!
