Although Qiao Xuan also understood that Sun Quan could not make such a low-level mistake, no matter what method Sun Quan had, he would definitely take great risks.

Sure enough,

"In Xuzhou, let Lu Meng and Pan Zhang lead a group of new recruits, plus the local militia, it should be enough. By the way, I will bring Yuan Tan with me again." Sun Quan said.

Qiao Xuan hesitated for a while, but still couldn't help but speak.

"Two young men, who were ordered in the face of danger, have no elite troops under their command. Can they really defend Xuzhou?"

Qiao Xuan was extremely worried. You must know that Xuzhou's opponent this time was not Cao Cao, who was also without food and elite soldiers in Xuzhou, but the more powerful Yuan Shao!

Although Qiao Xuan also knew that Sun Quan was determined to cultivate Lu Meng and Pan Zhang, the incident at that time proved that these two young people were still too young, otherwise Sun Quan would not have sent them to the south to fight Shanyue.

What Qiao Xuan really doesn't understand is Sun Quan's strategic bias this time. Is it worth it that even if Sun Quan loses Xuzhou, he will not give up attacking Yizhou?

"Young people have the advantage of young people. Now Xuzhou cannot defend it, and you must take the initiative to fight! I will give them the right to act recklessly this time!" As he said that, Sun Quan deliberately glanced at Dou Yuru. Dou Yuru knew that Sun Quan was implying that their Demon Sect would work here, which was another reason why Sun Quan chose Lu Meng Panzhang.

Without elite soldiers and lack of food and grass, we have to use some unconventional means! Lu Meng is somewhat unconventional and has the talent to win unexpectedly; Pan Zhang has the ability to solve problems,

"Can that Yuan Tan be useful?" Dou Yuru took the opportunity to ask.

Yuan Shao's army has been fighting, obviously he doesn't plan to care about his son's life or death. Is there any meaning to hostages?

"Of course there is no decisive effect, but Yuan Shao doesn't want his son to die after all. This leading general, even if he is hypocritical, always has to pretend. Otherwise, how dare he go back to see Yuan Shao?" Sun Quan explained. Although there is actually no need to say some words, at this time, when facing enemies everywhere, first of all, one cannot lose confidence in his own people, so it is better to make it clear.

"Yuan Tan's role is not to stop Yuan Jun, he just needs to control the rhythm. On the battlefield, even if the opponent's general hesitates for a while, it may directly affect the ending. I believe that the two kids will make good use of this card."

As he said that, Sun Quan smiled sinisterly,

"In addition, I also want Yuan Tan to see who wants to harm him in the Yuan family. I will return Yuan Tan to Yuan Shao sooner or later. I am also for his own good, so as not to die at my hands and eventually die at my own hands."

For his own good? Who doesn’t know what your intention is here? Who is the Yuan family who wants Yuan Tan to die? It must be Yuan Shao’s other sons. Isn’t Sun Quan intentionally asking someone to go back for an internal fight?!

For a moment, Dou Yuru couldn't help but want to say to Sun Quan: You see, aren't you very good at this? Why do you have to go out into the world? This is your world!

Qiao Xuan's heart was calm. After Sun Quan said this, it seemed that Xuzhou was not very difficult.

"Then lord, where are we here?" Qiao Xuan asked. No matter how good the plan is, it is not enough to have no food. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice.

"I will take half of the soldiers away, and the remaining half of the food and grass, and the remaining half of the men are all left, which will last for more than a month." Sun Quan replied.

"What are your half-man eating?" Dou Yuru couldn't help asking.

"Yes, lord! Even if you go to grab it, it doesn't mean you can grab it just by snatching it. There is no need to take risks!" Qiao Xuan also hurriedly followed.

Don’t leave yourself a way out? Only after you die?

"I only need two days of dry food here, you don't have to worry about the rest." Sun Quan replied, not explaining in detail this time. It seems that even the people here are not going to tell Sun Quan's movements. "In addition, send someone to Cihang Jingzhai to send Xu Du back to Xiangyang. After capturing Xu Du, I will send Emperor Xian to Xiangyang. However, I don't want Sun Deng, I want food and grass. Otherwise, I can't defeat Xu Du, and no one will get any benefits."

Sun Quan ordered Qiao Xuan,

"If Cihang Jingzhai does not deliver the food and grass within a month, no matter what they say, you will withdraw your troops."

"Abide by the order!"

On the side, Diao Chan's face turned dark. Although she knew that this was Sun Quan's plan, Diao Chan was still a little sad when she heard Sun Quan say "I don't want Sun Deng". No matter what, this is a rare opportunity to exchange for Sun Deng!

However, if you put aside your personal feelings, Diao Chan still highly appreciates Sun Quan's choice. First of all, Xu Du cannot withdraw his troops, which is certain, but if Sun Quan really stays in Xu Du, it will only make Cihang Jingzhai think that he has compromised and then gains a goal. So Sun Quan left with half of his troops, and Sun Quan was already good at using troops. His military actions were not available, and outsiders had no way to interfere. The most important thing is that even his own people didn't know where Sun Quan went, and Cihang Jingzhai had no choice but to bargain with others.

Within a month, if there is no food, Qiao Xuan will withdraw his troops. Diao Chan inferred that Cihang Jingzhai thought that Sun Deng was still in their hands anyway, and Sun Quan dared not repent, and maybe he would really transport food and grass. For Jingzhou today, it would be cost-effective to exchange it for Emperor Han without sending troops, just spending some food and grass.

In just a moment (a second in the eyes of ordinary people), facing such an unexpected emergencies, Diao Chan believed that the only one who could do this was Sun Quan alone!

Zhongmou, Zhongmou, don’t forget that there is the word “有” in your name, and you were born for this!

????????

A few days later, Yizhou,

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are in a very embarrassing situation. At the beginning, Zhou Yu still tried to deal with the situation of food shortage and set up a maze array for the opponent, but the paper could not contain the fire. After the news leaked, Yizhou general Zhang Ren was leading his troops to attack, hoping that Zhou Yu and his group would never return!

Zhou Yu: "Letter from Bo Fu and Zhong Mou."

Sun Ce: "What do you say?"

"After half a month, the first batch of food and grass can be delivered. After one month, Cheng Puhan will lead reinforcements and bring the food and grass from the entire Jiangdong to support him." Zhou Yu said, the news did not bring him much joy.

Sun Ce smiled bitterly,

"In other words, it will take at least half a month, right? Zhongmou really respects me."

“How are we now?”

"How?" Sun Ce's face turned ruthless, "Send the order, reinforcements will arrive in ten days. Even if you eat the roots of the tree, you must hold on for me!"

????????

Xuzhou,

"There is no food or soldiers, and there is only one hostage in his hand. We have to defend Xuzhou. The lord will not look down on us too much, right?" Ma Zhong seemed a little worried.

Pan Zhang smiled,

"You don't understand what the lord means, and the lord says he will do whatever he wants, which is clearly implied. There are some things that the lord is difficult to do, and someone always needs to share his worries. There will be food and soldiers."

Lu Meng frowned. Of course, he understood what Pan Zhang meant, forcibly recruiting troops and grain, and even killing big households.

"Killing a chicken to get an egg can certainly relieve your worries, but it is not a long-term solution. I have a plan..."

After hearing Lu Meng's words, Pan Zhang glared at him.

"Lu Meng, Lu Meng, I have never obeyed you, but I just obeyed you this courage to be afraid of death!"

Lu Meng grinned,

"Didn't the lord say that you can do whatever you want!"
