Chapter Nineteen

Hearing that Zhang Sima said everything he knew, everyone in the hall showed a look of shock and suspicion.

"Boyang missed me a big deal! Boyang missed me a big deal..." Sun Quan cursed with a grim expression: "I specially ordered someone to send a letter to him and ordered him to guard the city strictly and not leave the city to fight the enemy. He actually violated my order! This great defeat was his own fault!"

"Lord, the responsibility for losing Lujiang is probably not all about General Boyang!" Lu Su thought for a moment and said to Sun Quan: "Su is a little suspicious - the lord's letter may not have been reached at all by General Boyang!"

"Yeah~?" Zhang Zhao asked in surprise: "Zijing, why did you make this guess?"

"Have you noticed that Zhang Sima mentioned just now that he was almost wiped out by the attack of Liu Bei's naval army while leading the remaining troops to Chaisang?" Lu Su reminded Sun Quan in a harmonious voice, and Zhang Zhao and others said, "In this case, Liu Bei must have sent his newly formed Hefei water army to block the waterway to Lujiang. If so, the messenger sent to Lujiang by the lord was very likely to be intercepted halfway. Therefore, Su thought that General Boyang did not deliberately violate the lord's orders, but did not receive the lord's orders at all."

"Yeah~~!" Sun Quan thought carefully, recognized Lu Su's explanation, his expression was slowed down, and then he said in a deep voice: "Even if this is the case, Boyang is also responsible for inadvertent use of troops - he actually went out of the city so easily to fight with the enemy, which made Lujiang's defense empty and was ridden by Zhang Fei!"

"Lord, General Boyang is young and energetic, and has insufficient experience in fighting. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not be designed when encountering Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, such a battlefield general. Based on the information currently known, we can infer that Liu Bei's army has taken great pains and made meticulous plans to attack our Lujiang. First, he secretly cut new grain in Lujiang for several consecutive days to anger General Boyang; he also ordered the Hefei Water Army to intercept the waterway and block the information exchange in Lujiang, and then used the Ming robbery to lure General Boyang out of the city to fight. It can be imagined that after General Boyang went out of the city to pursue, he was ambushed and defeated. Liu Bei's army must have changed into our army's armor and deceived the city in the night, and then attacked Lujiang! Such a series of tricks is indeed extremely difficult to guard against!" Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan in harmony.

"What Zijing said is very reasonable! Besides, Boyang is still unknown now, so Zhongmou should not blame him anymore!" Sun Jing also said.

"Huh~~!" Sun Quan sighed deeply and nodded slowly, "Now that Lujiang has fallen, Boyang, and the truth are all unclear about life and death. I and the old thief Liu Bei have added new hatred. Should I send troops to capture Lujiang again, and I have a first bloody shame?"

"Lord, it is absolutely not advisable to send troops to Lujiang at this time!" A loud and clear voice came from outside into the conference hall. As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yu, the commander of the Jiangdong army, stepped into the hall with great strides. He came to Sun Quan's seat for a few steps. Zhou Yu lifted his battle robe, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and bowed his hand, and said loudly: "I am Zhou Yu, Wujun, and returned from suppressing the rebellion, and pay homage to the lord!"

"Gong Jin?!!!...uh... please get up quickly!" Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu, who was kneeling in front of him with a little joy in shock, then stood up and left his seat to come to Zhou Yu, and helped him up in person, "When did Gong Jin go back to Chaisang? What happened to the war in Wujun?"

"Yu dared not let the lord down the expectations of the lord, and had already wiped out the thief seven days ago! However, on the way back to the army, he recruited some soldiers from various counties along the way, which delayed some time, so he rushed back to Chaisang until today! Lao Lu was worried!" Zhou Yu replied respectfully.

"Hahaha... Now that the rebellion has been put down, I have no worries!" Sun Quan let out a long sigh and laughed and said, "Has the thief been captured?"

"He has been captured and given the title of the head. Yu has ordered people to slapped his entire family's head and hang it on the Wujun city tower!"

"Okay! Well done, just to shock those who are ill-behaved!" Sun Quan said hatefully, "But... After Gong Jin returned to Chaisang, who will take care of the military and political affairs of Wujun now? Maybe the overall situation of the situation is the winner?"

"Report to the lord, Yu is currently temporarily appointed Zhu Huan to take charge of the county affairs of Wu County. Xiu Mu is both civil and military, so he can temporarily appease the chaos in Wu County. However, Xiu Mu is light in position and lacks prestige. He also needs to send other important officials with both moral integrity and talent to Wu County to take charge of the overall situation!" Zhou Yu said earnestly.

"Yeah!" Sun Quan showed a look of praise, smiled and nodded and asked, "Why should anyone take this important task?"

"Young Taiwanese University has excellent cultural and martial arts skills, and has a great prestige in the six counties of Jiangdong. He is the best candidate for the prefect of Wu County." Zhou Yu recommended Sun Jing to the voice of the voice.

"Lord, I am the same as the governor of Zhou. If you get the young Taigong to be the governor of Wu County, it will not only be Wu County, but also be extremely beneficial to appease and stabilize the surrounding counties such as Kuaiji and Danyang!" Lu Su echoed.

"...Well... Since that's the case..." Sun Quan pondered for a moment, he walked to Sun Jing and said in a harmonious voice: "Uncle, Wujun has been entrusted to you! Please be kind to guard."

"Don't worry Zhongmou! I will definitely guard the Wu County land for you!" Sun Jing nodded and said calmly.

"... When Governor Zhou entered the hall just now, he said that our army should not send troops to Lujiang now and seize the city again. He is ashamed of having blood before. What is this?" Sun Yi, who was standing beside him, asked coldly.

Zhou Yu also knew that Sun Yi was dissatisfied with Jisu, but he was not concerned at all. A gentle but confident smile appeared on his handsome face and said loudly: "Lord, although Yu does not know the specific situation, based on the words of the lord he heard when he entered the hall just now, it is speculated that Lujiang had been attacked by Liu Bei, but that's the case?"

"Not bad! This happened six days ago, but I am also rewarded for the first time!" Sun Quan nodded and said, "Zijing, you can tell Gong Jin about the fall of Lujiang!"

Soon, Lu Su briefly told Zhou Yu everything that Zhang Sima reported, and then he said some of his own guesses.

"Yeah! I'm sorry for you!" After hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned slightly and his expression gradually became cold and solemn. After thinking carefully, Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan in a deep voice: "Lord, after knowing the general reason for the fall of Lujiang, Yu even believes that it is not appropriate to send troops to capture Lujiang again at this time!"

"Why is this? Please explain the reason!" Sun Quan asked in a suspicious voice.

"Lord, at present, Jiangdong is being attacked by Liu Biao and Liu Bei on both sides of the east and west sides, and the situation is quite dangerous. With the strength of Jiangdong, our Jiangdong army is actually unable to attack the two enemy troops together. If this is done, it will cause the dispersion of troops, and it will not be worth the loss. To resolve this crisis, you must first concentrate your efforts to break the whole route." Zhou Yu carefully analyzed for Sun Quan.

"But in terms of strength, Liu Biao in Jingzhou should be far better than Liu Bei in Shouchun. If you want to concentrate your troops to defeat the whole route first, you should avoid the strong and attack the weak, and defeat Liu Bei's army first!" Zhang Zhao asked in confusion.

"If it is only based on strength, this is true. But in terms of the threat to our Jiangdong, Liu Bei is far inferior to Liu Biao. At this moment, Liu Biao's heavy troops directly attacked the hinterland of Jiangdong, and he wanted to pacify me quickly. If he could not repel him as soon as possible, it would endanger my life and death in Jiangdong. Although Liu Bei was hateful, he was just a problem of scabies in front of him. Yu felt that he would not dare to easily bring troops to the south in a short period of time." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

"Why is this?" Sun Quan asked urgently.

"If he dares to raise his troops to cross south at this time, the lord can completely stop his support and response by just using the navy to cut off the Yangtze River. Although Liu Bei has newly formed the Hefei Navy Army, I think it will not be the enemy of our Jiangdong Navy. Once the support and response are eliminated, how long can the army that goes deeper alone in the hinterland of Jiangdong? Even if Liu Bei is bold and arbitrary, I don't expect him to dare to do this unwise move." After a pause, Zhou Yu continued: "Although Liu Bei is unable to continue the southern invasion at this time, it will not be easy for our army to recover the lost land in Lujiang.

Liu Bei is a hero of the world. His generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals are enemies of ten thousand people. Although their military strength is not large, they should not be ignored. Moreover, from the strategies used to attack Lujiang this time, there must be people in his army who are proficient in strange strategies. If our army wants to counterattack Lujiang, if the troops are too small, they will not be able to be effective, and they may even be defeated by him again. If the troops are too large, they may not be able to do anything to him within a moment or three moments. Once our army is entangled in Lujiang, Liu Biao will take the opportunity to attack fiercely, and then our Jiangdong will be in danger at that time!"

"Lord, what the governor Zhou said is very important. The most urgent task of our army in front of us is to repel Liu Biao as soon as possible and stabilize the land in the south of the Yangtze River!" Lu Su immediately echoed.

"Huh~~!" Sun Quan lowered his head and walked slowly in the hall for more than ten steps. He suddenly raised his head, with a complicated look in his eyes, and he said resolutely: "Since that's the case, he has to abandon Lujiang temporarily and concentrate his troops to repel the old thief Liu Biao!"

"Lord, you must be clear!" Zhou Yu and Lu Su said in unison.

"But let Liu Bei ignore it and be unprepared? What if he really crosses the river regardless of everything, what if he waits?" Sun Yi spoke out suspiciously.

"Don't worry about this matter! Just dispatch the navy to step up the efforts to patrol the river, beware of Liu Bei's army smuggling across the river, and on the other hand, ordering all counties along the river to take strict precautions and not to slack off. I don't think that Liu Bei's army has no chance to take advantage of it!" Zhou Yu said calmly.

……………………

"Report~! Governor Cheng's emergency battle report!" Suddenly, a soldier rushed to the outside of the conference hall panting, holding a silk book in his hand, and knelt on one knee and played loudly.

"Come on!" Sun Quan was shocked and said anxiously.

Zhou Tai, who was closest to the entrance of the hall, came forward to pick up the silk book and presented it to Sun Quan. Sun Quan unfolded the silk book and quickly browsed it. After a while, his face became more and more low.

"Lord, is the war between the Old General Cheng and the Jingzhou Army in an unfavorable situation?" Zhang Zhao asked anxiously when he saw Sun Quan's face change drastically.

"………………” Sun Quan's face was gloomy and slowly handed the silk book to Zhang Zhao, saying in a deep voice: "Chongyang has been captured by Kuai Yue's army, Han Dang and Chen Wu are only exempted. It is now that Kuai Yue's army has been forced to Yang Xin, and it is a force to attack the old general Cheng with Cai Mao's army in Huangshi."

After Zhang Zhao quickly read it, he handed the silk book to Zhou Yu and shook his head silently.
