"Bo Fu, in my opinion, our army must not fight on multiple fronts at this time. We must concentrate our efforts to repel Cao Mengde." Sun Wu said slowly.
"Master's intention is to abandon Lu County and concentrate troops to guard the remaining places!" Zhou Yu suddenly interrupted.
Zhou Yu knew that what Sun Wu was going to say next was not easy to say. Therefore, as a disciple, he took the initiative to say these words.
Lu County was originally supposed to be called the State of Lu. During the Yellow Turban Period, all the members of the King of Lu died in the Yellow Turban wave. Only then did they become a county, and Sun Jian, who had made numerous military exploits in the Yellow Turban War, became the
Sheriff of Lu County.
Therefore, this can be said to be Sun Jian's first territory and the place where the Sun family started. Although due to geographical constraints, the Sun family's political center of gravity later tended to shift southward, Lu County had a strong influence on the Sun family.
It still has extraordinary significance.
Giving up Lu Jun's proposal is a decision that is hard to make, let alone make.
"Wrong, you exchanged Lu County for the Yellow Turbans!" Sun Wu corrected him.
"Grand Governor, you must not do it. Lu County is where my old lord has devoted his life!" A group of veterans led by Cheng Pu stood up and objected. Most of these people were the first to follow Sun Jian, and they made military exploits with Sun Jian.
In the end, we were able to obtain such a county.
At the same time, Sun Ce's face also showed an expression of opposition, and even a hint of anger. However, the person who made this proposal now was his uncle and his best friend since childhood.
The old ministers headed by Cheng Pu expressed their objections, and he restrained himself from having an attack for the time being.
"Master wants to exchange Lu County for Zhang Dingbian to send troops to help!" Zhou Yu ignored the opinions of the opponents for the time being, and continued following Sun Wu's words.
"Yes, the Yellow Turbans and Cao Cao are old enemies. The Yellow Turbans will not simply sit back and watch Cao Cao become stronger. Using Lu County as a matchmaker to get the Yellow Turbans to attack Cao Cao, this matter is very promising!" Sun Wu continued to explain.
Over the past year or so, the Sun family has suffered two major changes: Sun Jian's death and Huang Chao's rebellion. They had little financial resources to begin with, and after such repeated hardships, their actual power has been greatly damaged.
But now, with some of the troops allocated to defend Yuan Shu, the remaining troops are barely able to deal with Cao Cao. Their chances of winning are not great. At this time, the Yellow Turban forces intervened in Lu County. It can be said that they have no chance at all.
There is no possibility of protecting Lu County.
Instead of doing this, since the loss of Lu County is a foregone conclusion, it is better to use Lu County to negotiate a deal with the Yellow Turbans. Perhaps the Yellow Turbans also know that as long as they send troops, they will definitely be able to capture Lu County in the end.
But since Lu County is certain to be obtained, it is a matter of discussion whether the troops sent this time are to attack Lu County or to prevent one's old rival from getting stronger!
"Bo Fu, I once heard that King Li Zifeng of Jin once said that if you save people and lose their land, everyone and the land will survive; if you save the land and lose people, you will lose both people and land. I hope Bo Fu will consider this matter carefully!" Sun Wu stood up and patted him.
Sun Ce's shoulder said meaningfully.
Sun Ce looked at Sun Wu's tired look. After returning from a long journey, he began to think about a strategy for them to survive this crisis without taking a moment's rest. Although he wanted to object to Sun Wu's proposal this time, he opened his mouth and said
It's on my lips but I can't say it anymore!
"Yes, Bo Fu, the foundation that Uncle Sun has built must not be ruined in our hands. As long as we can survive this crisis, the lost territory can be regained one day!" Zhou Yu carefully said
Staring into Sun Ce's eyes, he said seriously and firmly.
"This... uncle, sir, this matter is important. I have to think about it for a while. How about I give you an answer tomorrow?" Sun Ce said with a long sigh.
"That's fine, but Bo Fu, you can send a letter and plan first to transfer the population of Lu County to Pei State. Make preparations in advance. Transferring more people can also leave a little more vitality for my Sun family!" Sun Wu sighed.
road.
Yuzhou is located in the Central Plains and is a state with a large population. Not to mention Runan, a county like Nanyang, which has a population as large as that of another state. Even the other counties have a population that is comparable to that of other counties in the world.
at the forefront.
Although Sun Wu proposed to use Lu County to negotiate terms with the Yellow Turbans, this does not mean that he is prepared to package the population here to the other party!
"Second, report to the imperial court for help. If necessary, hostages can be sent to the imperial court!" Sun Wu's expression changed again.
Sun Wu was a general, and for a general, he could not defeat the enemy, but had to rely on sending protons to get reinforcements to rescue the siege. This was a shame for them.
Moreover, it is said to be the imperial court, but it only refers to Li Xiang's power. However, Li Xiang's strength is really strong. While capturing the two states of Yongliang, he also repelled the attacks of a lot of princes.
It was when its prestige was rising that it was called the imperial court.
Otherwise, like Yang Jian back then, when he was polite, he called you Sui King, but when he was unkind, he called you Sui Thief. What can you do? Is it possible that he could send troops to attack?
"Third, if possible, reconcile with the puppet government first and concentrate all your efforts against Cao Cao!" Even Sun Wu himself said that this last suggestion was very unconfident!
Not only are the two sides already life-and-death enemies, there is almost no possibility of turning hostility into friendship. Moreover, with the strong character of the little overlord Sun Ce, he will never do this just to survive.
"What..." Sure enough, as soon as Sun Wu said these words, Sun Ce could no longer sit still. He slapped the table and stood up. However, with a strong force, it seemed that the wound was touched again, which shocked Zhou Yu immediately
He calmed him down again.
Although the first two are humiliating and useless, Sun Ce cannot not consider it, but this last one cannot be considered. The revenge of killing his father cannot be punished. Sun Ce is not Sun Quan. Perhaps Sun Quan may bow to his enemy for the sake of expediency, but Sun Ce
But it is impossible to do so.
"Forget it!" Seeing Sun Ce's look, Sun Wu did not insist anymore. If he persisted forcibly, it would only cause conflicts between him and Sun Ce. The enemy was facing, and if he had a conflict with Sun Ce at this time, then
There is no need to continue fighting this battle, they might as well just go out and surrender!
Moreover, Sun Wu knew very well that judging from Sun Ce's performance at that moment, even if he persisted in this matter, he would not get the result he wanted in the end.
In the Sun family, the person in charge is still Sun Ce after all. He, Sun Wu, can make suggestions, but he cannot make decisions for Sun Ce.
