Chapter 94
"Meet the lord!" Zhou Yu slowly walked into the hall and bowed deeply to Sun Quan.
From the moment he appeared, Sun Quan and others could see that Zhou Yu's body was far from recovering. His handsome face showed an unusually pathological pale pale, and there was an unusually dark look between his eyebrows and eyes, his eyes slightly sunken, and his lips slightly white.
Moreover, Zhou Yu's body is obviously much thinner than before he fell ill, which looks very worrying.
"Gongjin, you have not recovered yet, how can you come here easily?" Sun Quan asked in shock.
"Yu's body is inconsistent, I'm sorry, lord is concerned!" Zhou Yu nodded slightly to the ministers on both sides of the hall and replied respectfully.
"Since Lord Zhou's health has not healed, why not rest at home? If there is a problem, wouldn't outsiders blame my brother for not caring about his subordinates?" Sun Yu's eyes couldn't stop showing a hint of hatred and said "greeting" lukewarmly.
"Zhongyi!" Sun Quan stopped Sun Yu with a deep voice, and then ordered someone to bring a cushion so that Zhou Yu could sit down more comfortably.
"Gongjin, do you know the battle situation?" After Zhou Yu sat down, Sun Quan asked in a harmonious manner. The battle situation is now completely out of control, and Sun Quan feels helpless. Zhou Yu's unexpected comeback makes Sun Quan feel like he has grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Yu has heard a little..." Zhou Yu nodded slightly and said, "But the specific situation of the battle is, please inform the lord!"
"Zijing, you know the situation of the battle with Gongjin!" Sun Quan turned to Lu Su and said.
After Lu Su explained the situation of the battle between the east and west sides in detail, Zhou Yu's expression became extremely solemn. Due to the fact that he was too busy recently, Lu Su had not had time to visit Zhou Yu for more than ten days.
In the past, Lu Su would visit Zhou Yu once on the 2nd and 3rd. Zhou Yu also guessed the deterioration of the situation based on this. Although he was mentally prepared, Zhou Yu was still shocked after realizing the degree of the deterioration of the battle situation.
"Does Gongjin have a solution to resolve the dangers in front of you?" Sun Quan looked straight at Zhou Yu and asked anxiously.
"Although the two Lius attacked at the same time, they were actually true and false, and false, and false!" Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said quietly, "From the current situation, the Jingzhou army is the real threat. And the attack of Liu Bei's army was only an attack.
The purpose is to support the attack of the Jingzhou army!”
"Master Zhou didn't hear it clearly just now--Zhang Fei has conquered Sanshan County. He is currently rushing to attack the Hulin front line. Xindu County in the south is now in danger. It's just an attack? If you really attack, wouldn't even Chaisang be defeated!" Sun Yu refuted disdainfully.
Seeing that Sun Yu is still targeting him everywhere to this day, Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.
After barely calming down his mood, Zhou Yu said slowly: "If Liu Bei is really determined to attack, Zhang Fei will come with a thunderous force. And Li Tong from Lujiang will lead his army to support Zhang Fei.
Only in this way can we attack cities and land more to avoid taking the lead for Liu Biao's side. If Zhang Fei wants to blitzkrieg, he will definitely send Gan Ning to destroy our naval army. As long as our naval army loses, Zhang Fei can cooperate with the infantry and advance quickly.
Even, Zhang Fei would send elite troops to bypass the front block and raid Chaisang in an attempt to directly pacify the overall situation. But now.
When our navy and the Jingzhou navy were fighting fiercely, Gan Ning ignored it. Isn’t it suspicious? In addition, even if he really wanted to steadily attack by land, with Zhang Fei’s ability, he might have already broken through the Hulin in more than ten days... Based on these, I think Zhang Fei’s intention is just a feint!"
Sun Quan and others nodded slightly, and Zhou Yu continued: "Zijing's guess is very likely to be true---There was an agreement between the two Lius to divide our Jiangdong. I am afraid that no matter how much land Liu Bei's army can seize this time, it will eventually be handed over to Liu Biao.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Fei's actions are so strange."
"In this way, Gu Yuan sighed that Shouchun's trip was unnecessary!" After hearing Zhou Yu's analysis like a silky silk, Sun Quan said in a little astonishment.
"After identifying the virtual and the real, you can retreat one of the parties in a targeted manner!" Zhou Yu analyzed calmly, "Liu Biao's intention is to destroy our Jiangdong. Both parties must retreat first. As long as Liu Biao retreats his troops.
Liu Bei will naturally order Zhang Fei to withdraw his troops!"
"But with the current situation, it may be extremely difficult to repel the Jingzhou army. Liu Pan's army has attacked Luling, and the county's Xichang is in danger; Kuai Liang and Cai Mao's army are even more powerful.
General Huang has asked for help twice..." Sun Quan said worriedly, "But our side no longer has any troops available!"
"Don't worry, lord... cough cough cough..." Zhou Yu suddenly started coughing violently.
"Gongjin, what's wrong with you?" Sun Quan asked anxiously.
"...Ahem... It's okay, I'll care!" After a while, Zhou Yu gradually calmed down, and his face "recovered" a little bloody color, but when he looked closely, it was a kind of sick flush. "In the two Jingzhou troops, the one that poses greater threat is Liu Pan's journey.
Although Liu Pan had few soldiers, he was under his command of Changsha soldiers, the strongest combat power among the Jingzhou army, and he had entered our hinterland.
Compared with Liu Pan and Kuai Liang, although there were many soldiers on the road, Yu thought the danger was slightly smaller. One reason was that his soldiers had weak combat power, and the other reason was that there were Kuai Liang and Cai Mao in his army, which was the result of his disaster.
Not only can Cai Mao not provide arm support to Kuai Liang, but he will become a control. If our army can try to defeat Liu Pan's journey, it may change the situation and even turn the world around!"
"Gongjin's words will all relieve my worries!" Sun Quan said happily.
"If the lord does not abandon you, please give me a soldier. Yu is willing to defeat Liu Pan's army first!" Zhou Yu reluctantly stood up, bowed and asked Sun Quan for his order.
"But Gongjin's body..." Sun Quan said worriedly as he looked at Zhou Yu's weak appearance.
"Yu is not worth mentioning. Please ask the lord to agree!" Zhou Yu's pale face had an unusually firm expression, and he was determined...
"..." Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu quietly, his temples beating, and an unknown emotion arose from his heart, and then filled his heart. Some past scenes flashed quickly in his mind.
Sun Quan also admired Zhou Yu as his elder brother. They were intimate with each other. But since Sun Ce died and Sun Quan ascended the throne, the harmony of the past gradually faded away.
Zhou Yu's great prestige among the military and civilians in Jiangdong became an obstacle to the young Sun Quan's consolidation of his position. Sun Yi and Sun Yu's brothers continued to inspire and confuse the rumors about Zhou Yu's rebellion in the countryside even worsened the grudges between them, and even caused such a stir.
But despite this, what Zhou Yu was thinking about was the Sun Family’s career...
"Brother, don't..." Sun Yu was eager to stop him.
Sun Quan raised his hand and stopped Sun Yu's words, then nodded slowly and said, "Brother Gongjin, I'll ask you for everything! Any available army can be dispatched and used by you..."
"Thank you for your trust!" Zhou Yu bowed and bowed and said earnestly, "Even if you are crushed to pieces, Yu... must protect your lord's foundation!" Jiangdong's future and destiny fell on Zhou Yu's thin shoulders after he had been sick for a long time.
"..." Sun Quan's heart trembled suddenly. As if he was deeply touched——If I could overcome this crisis, I would treat Brother Gongjin well!
.
After the discussion was completed, Sun Quan handed over the tiger talisman to Zhou Yu again.
After re-organizing, Zhou Yu immediately became busy until late at night. He dragged his tired and weak body back to the mansion.
"Madam, what are you doing?" Zhou Yu asked curiously when he saw his wife Xiao Qiao doing something.
Xiao Qiao was still busy silently. She seemed to have not heard Zhou Yu's call.
"Madam..." Zhou Yu walked a few steps closer, but saw Xiao Qiao packing some of Zhou Yu's clothes, as if preparing for a long journey. Zhou Yu's heart trembled, and Xiao Qiao, who was careful, already knew what he was thinking.
"Huh~~!" Xiao Qiao suddenly noticed that there was another person beside her, and took two steps back like a frightened deer. After seeing clearly that it was Zhou Yu, she let out a light breath and then gently covered her heart with her hands.
He whispered a little shyly: "My husband, you are back!"
"Madam, how do you know..." Zhou Yu looked at the clothes and said in harmony.
Xiao Qiao stood tall and gracefully, raised her jade head slightly, looked directly at Zhou Yu and said, "How can you hide your thoughts from me?"
"Jiao'er..." Zhou Yu couldn't hide the gentleness in his eyes at all, and stepped forward and surrounded Xiao Qiao gently. He said in a harmonious voice. "The person who understands me the most is you..."
"Although I don't understand any great principles, my husband must be right..." Xiao Qiao said gently, "I just hope that my husband can take care of his health!"
"Ahem...Don't worry Qiaoer!" Zhou Yu coughed a few times and said gently, "I promise you that you will definitely come back safely!"
Xiao Qiao gently tapped her head and pressed her body into Zhou Yu's arms, but a trace of worry flashed through the pair of bright eyes that looked like water.
The moon is curled up in the night sky, and the white and cool moonlight shot into the room from the window, illuminating the beautiful figures more slender...
.
In the next few days, Zhou Yu became more and more busy - the battle was about to go to war. Zhou Yu had to be responsible for preparing troops and supplies, and also analyzed military information and war reports for decision-making. Even, Zhou Yu sometimes had to visit some clans and seek their help.
Because he was worried about Zhou Yu's physical condition, Lu Su took the initiative to share some affairs for him.
After two or three days, Zhou Yu had already had countless bright hair on his temples and his body seemed to become thinner.
In early June, Zhou Yu led a group of 10,000 troops from all over the place and headed south to Luling County. Before leaving, Sun Quan and his ministers sent them to 5 miles south of Chaisang City.
At the same time, Pan Zhang led 5,000 troops to E County to reinforce Huang Gai.
……………………………………
After 5 or 6 days of going around, Gu Yong finally arrived in Moling.
The left chief and the governor of Danyang County Jian Yong warmly received Gu Yong, but what disappointed Gu Yong was that the target he wanted to meet during this trip, General Zhang Fei, was not in Moling.
In addition to disappointment, Gu Yong encountered another even more unexpected thing - Gu Xiu, the head of the Gu clan, was also in Moling. Then, Gu Xiu asked Jian Yong to have a secret talk with Gu Yong alone. Jian Yong smiled and agreed, and arranged a secret room for Gu Xiu's nephew.
"...The Sun family is already in the evening, and there is no power to turn the sky. Even if it is not destroyed by the Uncle Liu, it will be difficult to escape from Liu Jingzhou's hands.
Besides, my Gu family has now been entrusted to the command of Uncle Liu. Uncle Zhang, General Zhang, treats my Gu clan very well!" Gu Xiu said to Gu Yong in a harmonious voice. Gu Xiu was around 60 years old, with a clear and beautiful appearance with a bit of majesty as the head of the family.
"..." Gu Yong's reputation was fascinated by Jiangdong. He was so smart that he naturally understood what his uncle meant, but he remained silent.
"Yuansang, the Sun family is in full swing. Whether for oneself or for the family, you should carefully consider staying or leaving!" Gu Xiu attached great importance to his nephew, and was really unwilling to watch Gu Yong bury his Sun family in the near future. He advised him, "Uncle Liu is the main descendant of the Han Dynasty, and his name of benevolence and loving the people, respecting the virtuous and respecting the people is not false.
The previous episode I was invited to meet Liu Huangshu, and the counties in Danyang, Lujiang and Shouchun. It was unforgettable——It is truly a harmonious political system and the people are happy to work."
After a pause, Gu Xiu continued: "Now that Liu Huangshu is in charge of the five counties, the foundation is stable, and even if it is not good, he can still control one side and may even win the world. With Yuan sighing about your talent, if you join the command of Liu Huangshu, you will definitely achieve great success.
In the future, it will depend on your generation to shine on the Gu family's lintel!"
"Although my uncle's words are reasonable, he will be a joke for the world if he is betrayed the matter he has to do, and my nephew is unwilling to do it!" Gu Yong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.
"Silly!" Gu Xiu shouted lightly and said in a deep voice, "It is only for personal reputation, which is a minority for scholars; it is only for the peace of the world and comfort the country that is a major feud for scholars. Would you rather abandon the major feud for your own minority?"
Gu Yong's expression kept changing, as if he was in a fierce ideological struggle, and finally sighed helplessly.
Gu Xiu looked happy and knew that he had convinced his nephew...
…………………………………..
The news of Zhou Yu's return to the director was soon passed on to me. Now many clans under Sun Quan's rule have secretly contacted our army, and it has become quite easy to obtain internal information from Sun Quan.
"Shi Yuan, how do you view Zhou Yu's affairs?" I put down the tip in my hand and asked Pang Tong with a smile.
"The building is about to collapse, how can Zhou Yu turn the world alone?" Pang Tong laughed, "And Zhou Yu's health has not yet recovered, and he hastily returned to the director, probably to urge him to die."
"Yes..." I sighed leisurely, and the vague white figure appeared in my mind. Zhou Yu and I only met once, and I didn't see it clearly. It was when the fierce battle under Taiping City last year.
There is no doubt about Zhou Yu's talent, but it's a pity that he is controlled by his own family for many years, so he cannot display it. If he can recruit him under his elder brother, he will definitely be a great help, but this may be just a luxury...
"General, the last general is back!" Hao Zhao and Li Cong lifted the curtain and entered the tent, reporting loudly.
"How is the city attack?" I asked with a smile on my head.
"...Shut your breath!" Li Cong hesitated for a moment and said in a muffled voice, "This feint attack is more tiring than a real siege. If the general allows it, he can capture Hulin County in the last two hours!" Hao Zhao, who was standing beside him, laughed silently.
"Person Li must not be anxious. No matter how many cities attack, they will be handed over to the Jingzhou army in the future. Take this opportunity to train the soldiers!" Pang Tong said with a smile.
"Uncle San, Brother Wen's message!" Guan Ping strode into the tent of the commander and handed me a silk book and said, "Xindu ordered Xiancheng to surrender. Brother Wen asked for instructions on the next action!"
I quickly browsed the silk book and raised a wry smile on the corner of my mouth. Wei Yan was just in charge of my local requirements and only launched a feint attack on Xindu County. Unexpectedly, Xindu Ling actually surrendered voluntarily.
