Chapter 267 Jinglong Movement
Xiangyang is a strong city in the world, and the defender is also a famous general, Longcheng.
Even Zhou Yu could not force himself, and he had to besiege the city for several years, and he would never have to wait until the ammunition and food in the city were exhausted.
But how could Shi Longjie and Song Yu give him time?
If there are heavy casualties, it will not work. After all, if you have to deal with the second tiger behind you, Zhou Yu must retain his own strength.
But Longcheng is a man from Guanzhong. If he receives the favor of the emperor in the world, he will never surrender to the enemy. The only possibility is to buy the Neijian Kaicheng.
Fang Tongyu from Zhou Yu's sect went here for this matter. Now that he saw that things were successful and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, even the wrinkles on his forehead became much shallower.
Wen Ruo is the name Fang Tongyu, and Zhou Yu calls it this way, so the relationship is further improved.
"It just so happened that the soldiers have recovered their strength after being cultivated. They can go straight to Xiangyang with one go!"
Zhou Yu waved his hand and seemed to have returned to the previous wise and powerful commander-in-chief who was strategist and wise.
"That's right!" Fang Tongyu also said.
This matter is not too late. Although there is a hurry to make quick success and instant benefits, it is nothing compared to the threats from Shi Longjie and Song Yu.
"Wenruo, it will be fine for you to come back. It will be hard to travel a long distance. Unfortunately, those who can do it work harder. There is still something you need to do."
"Please give me the order!" Fang Tongyu is a minister. If the lord has his fate, how can he refuse?
"I have heard something strange recently in this Governor's Office, and I believe you have heard of it too!"
Zhou Yu said slowly, his voice low.
"Strange thing?" Fang Tongyu's eyes rolled and he couldn't help but guess, "Could it be... it's the matter of the Nine Ghosts Real Person?"
He is also a big family behind him and has its own information channels.
"Not bad! A few days ago, the governor suddenly felt guilty and was uneasy, and that night. The Nine Ghosts Real Man disappeared for no reason. This is really suspicious..."
Zhou Yu slowly told all the things that night. Finally, he asked, "What do you think?"
Fang Tongyu pondered for a moment before slowly saying: "Nine Ghosts are the real cultivation level, and they are the master of the Dongxuan Sect! In Wuzhou, my subordinates really can't think of anyone who can take him away silently unless..."
"Unless what?" Zhou Yu became interested.
"Unless the Nine Ghosts True Man left voluntarily, this way, we can avoid disturbing the surrounding guards!" Fang Tongyu said.
"Or, it is someone with a cultivation level far exceeding the Nine Ghosts True Man. He can capture him in an instant without making a sound, but it is so difficult. Even the legendary Supreme Taoist Lord cannot capture the next true man with just raising his hand!"
How could people in the aristocratic family not be interested in this world Taoist system? After so many years of exchanges, the two sides have seen all the things on the surface, and even the information in secret has been collected a lot.
"It seems that it is more likely that the Nine Ghosts will leave without saying goodbye. The governor asked himself that he was sorry for him and that the reward had never been missed. Why did he get there?"
Zhou Yu's face turned pale and then grinned: "Does... he thinks that this governor is not Allah, and isn't it worthy of assistance?"
He naturally knew that there was a technique of looking at the qi in the Taoist sect, which could show the luck of the person. The Taoist sect often relied on this to avoid misfortune.
The Dongxuan School is even more famous for its innate divine hexagram. It is effective in combination with the technique of looking at the qi. This heart is filled with a slump.
"Heaven moves hard, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement! How can the lord be so arrogant!!!"
Just when Zhou Yu was shaken and almost discouraged, he suddenly heard Fang Tongyu shouting.
The sound was like a basin of cold water, which woke Zhou Yu from his imagination, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He touched his forehead and saw water stains scattered, and he couldn't help but feel grateful.
"Wen Ruo is right, how can I belittle myself! I almost lost my temper! I delayed major events! I have to thank you for your wake-up call!"
Fang Tongyu shook his head: "Fighting for dragons in troubled times is about gathering people to accomplish things! Fang Wai's sorcerer is first-class, and he uses his lewd skills to deceive the king. It is better for the lord to avoid it!"
"You are an orthodox scholar, so naturally I don't like this!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, "But this governor has the ambition of a king, so he naturally has to accommodate all rivers!"
Speaking of this, the voice was lowered: "The Dongxuan School has a deep foundation and has contacts with families in various parts of Jingzhou. I have to rely on one or two!"
"Wenruo, this governor will ask you to be the envoy to go to Dongxuan Sect to inquire about this matter, and be sure to get real news!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu returned to his previous style.
"No!" The lord has an order. No matter how much Fang Tongyu discriminates against the Taoist sect, he has to do his job.
"Okay! Go back and rest for a night and set off tomorrow morning!" Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"I'm asking for my leave!" Fang Tongyu bowed again and retreated.
In the conference hall, Zhou Yu was left alone. Zhou Yu was silent for a long time before sighing: "Dongxuan Sect..."
...
Of course, the location of the mountain gate of the Dongxuan Sect had already informed Zhou Yu, which saved some trouble.
On the second day, Fang Tongyu set off on the road and rushed to the mountain gate of Dongxuan Sect.
After some negotiations, they returned in vain.
How cunning is Zhenren Dongxuan? He was determined to abandon the Southern Vein and defect to Song Yu, so he sent Fang Tongyu out without even revealing the fate of Zhenren Jiugui.
After receiving the reward from Fang Tongyu, Zhou Yu locked himself in the study with a gloomy face.
The servant could faintly hear the sound of cups and books falling to the ground.
"We can't wait!"
Fang Tongyu asked to see Zhou Yu the next day. As soon as he met, Zhou Yu said so.
Fang Tongyu was shocked and looked up slightly. He saw Zhou Yu's hair scattered and his eyes were covered with blood. He couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Is there anything wrong with the lord's body?"
"I am very good!" Although he was haggard, Zhou Yu was very energetic. "I am very clear-headed. I am not waiting at this time. Only by conquering Xiangyang as soon as possible can I have half a year to clean up the old mountains and rivers for me to deal with the challenges of Yizhou and Wuzhou!"
"At this time, no matter whether the Dongxuan Sect does not support it, this battle must be fought!"
This analysis is reasonable, even Fang Tongyu can only nod. "But food, grass, weapons, and other things?"
"This governor has all the inventory of prefectures and counties, and the support of the Zhou family is enough!" Zhou Yu's eyes shot out of crazy expression.
"Is this going to fight with all your might?"
Fang Tongyu naturally knew that if all the inventory of prefectures and counties was naturally enough for the army, but if there was a natural disaster in the rear and the government could not provide material relief, how big would it happen!!!
It is impossible at this time. There is a large family behind him, so naturally he cannot say: "The governor doesn't have to worry, the subordinates are willing to lose all their money and help the military funds!"
Let’s not talk about the family’s problems. If you are so enthusiastic about rewarding the soldiers on behalf of the governor, do you want to rebel?
At this time, I also smiled bitterly: "My family is willing to pay 5,000 taels of silver and 2,000 stones of grain, and drive other aristocratic families to raise funds..."
As a subordinate, he naturally couldn't pay anything without paying any of it. The money and food were not much, just right.
When Zhou Yu heard this, his face turned calm and his eyes were a little wet: "Wen Ruo! I saw a loyal minister in times of crisis. I will live up to you!"
...
On April 12, the second year of Hongzhi, Zhou Yu, the great governor of Jingzhou, sent a large army of 100,000 water and land to attack Xiangyang.
For a moment, the south, which had just calmed down, fell into war again.
Yizhou, Shi Longjie climbed high and looked far, "Jingzhou has another disaster, great charity!"
"Report!" A cavalry ran quickly and reached the bottom. The soldiers dismounted, ran up, and knelt down in front of Shi Longjie.
"Report to the king! Zhou Yu, the great governor of Jingzhou, sent 100,000 troops to attack Xiangyang. He has now set up several cities in a row. Xiangyang is guarding the Longcheng City and clearing the fields, gathering soldiers in the city, as if he wants to defend the city!"
"Hehe... In terms of territory, Zhou Yu has already won 60% of Jingzhou, while Longcheng only has 40% at most. His strength is not as strong as others. The only thing he can rely on is Xiangyang City!"
Shi Longjie sneered.
In ancient times, territory was the population, the land was the acre, the food soldiers!!! It was also naked and naked strength!!!
Longcheng is not as territorial as people, and the same is true for soldiers and food. If there were no Xiangyang City, Shi Longjie could have regarded him as a dead person!!!
"Zhou Yu restrained Longcheng in Xiangyang City, and he would eventually get the best of the Lone King!!!"
Shi Longjie laughed, and flames burning everything seemed to appear in his eyes.
After strode, layers of soldiers were waiting silently with their arms.
These are not refugee troops, but the elite forces under Shi Longjie. The capital to maintain the throne.
"The lonely king has an order! We will send troops to Jiange, and we will leave Shu! The woman who robs Jingzhou of food!!!"
"My king has won thousands of victories!!!!!!!"
The soldiers roared, their voices seemed to cover the sky, and the expression of a wild beast rose in their eyes.
Although the land in Shu is as dangerous as the Jiange Plank Road, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is also subject to this. The kings of Shu were trapped in all dynasties, and outsiders could not enter, and the Shu army could not go out. They could only be free for a while. When the true dragon was settled, they were all helpless.
Now, Longcheng in the northern part of Jingzhou is restrained by Zhou Yu, and most of its power is hiding in Xiangyang City, which is a great opportunity!!!
Just as the Shiwang army came to the Jiange Plank Road in black, the Jingzhou defenders to the east had already ushered in a great disaster!!!
Ha!!!
The guard Xiao Bingyi yawned boredly, a little bored.
Although it was spring, the strong wind blew and it was very cold, which made him shrink his neck.
"This guarding day is so boring!!!" Xiao Bingyi said to himself.
"Hehe! Now wars are everywhere in the world. We are lucky enough to get here. But if we save our lives, many people can't even envy them!"
A soldier next to him who was obviously a veteran said.
The veteran was thin and had many hideous scars, but for some reason he did not retire, but served as guards.
"Hehe... Battle on the battlefield is the true nature of a man! We have made achievements and were granted a title of a Duke and a Marquis, and that's all!"
Xiao Bingyi is obviously a naughty man with a temperament.
"Haha... I made great achievements and was granted a title of Duke and Marquis?" The veteran laughed, and even tears came out.
"Why are you laughing?" Xiao Bingyi was obviously a little angry. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
