Watching Sun Jing and others slowly leave, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Sun Jing, the pioneer of unstable factors, was eliminated and stabilized the hearts of the civil and military forces in Changsha, it would not take half a year for Sun Yi's position to be consolidated, then he would no longer have to worry about the internal affairs of the Sun family. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, Cheng Pu stepped forward and looked at Sun Jing who was far away, he asked Zhou Yu for his life again, "Dudu, now the Cao thief is still coveting my Changsha, and the last general will ask for orders and lead 5,000 troops out of the city to break Cao." ”

Zhou Yu understood Cheng Pu's mood at this time, and his eyes were also shining, "General Cheng, don't worry, I have already sent someone to ask Chen Xu for help, and when Chen Xu's army arrives, I will cooperate with him inside and outside, and the Cao thief will be broken!" ”

At this time, Sun Yi was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Wu Ming and my Sun family seem to have a grudge, why does the governor think that Wu Ming will help me when he sends troops?" ”

"The lord's words are wrong, Yu never expected Wu Ming to help, it's just that what he did was only beneficial to himself! If Cao Ren and Cai Mao are defeated in this battle, they can take the opportunity to recapture Jiangxia and Nanjun, does Wu Mingyan have any reason not to be moved? ”

Zhou Yu seemed to have seen through all this, and explained to Sun Yi Cheng Pu very indifferently that Cheng Pu was not a reckless person, and Zhou Yu's words convinced him.

Seeking the sun.

Chen Qingzhi had already heard of Sun Ce's death, but the current situation was still unclear, and he was just asking people to find out the news; When he heard that Cao Ren and Cai Mao had invaded Changsha on a large scale, Chen Qingzhi wanted to immediately cut off Cao Ren and Cai Mao's back road and take the opportunity to take back Jiangxia.

When Chen Qingzhi, Qi Jiguang, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Qin Zhao and others were discussing the matter of marching, a messenger suddenly came in from outside the door, and shouted loudly: "General Qiyu, General Tianbao Yuwenjin asks to see the general, and there is a secret order from the lord to inform the general immediately." ”

Chen Qingzhi and the others were a little surprised, he had the impression that Wu Liren and Yuwen Chengdu had not been back in Xiapi for a long time, why did they come to Xunyang again so soon?

didn't think too much about it, Chen Qingzhi hurriedly asked Yuwen Chengdu to come in.

Yuwen Chengdu walked in with another person, Chen Qingzhi looked over, and only felt that he was a little thin, with a sparse and somewhat dull yellow beard on his face, and a dusty appearance.

"General Tianbao, I never thought that we would meet again so soon! I don't know who General Tianbao is next to? ”

Yu Wenjin smiled and said: "This person is the lord's newly accepted security guard Dai Zong, General Chen, at this time, the lord's handwritten letter, please also ask the general to take a look." ”

Chen Qingzhi took it, opened it immediately, swept it quickly, then frowned, and then looked at Yuwen Chengdu and said, "Could it be that the lord is still in Hefei now?" ”

Yuwen Chengdu shook his head, "The lord is still in Xiapi." ”

Chen Qingzhi handed the secret letter to Zhao Yun, Qi Jiguang and the others to look at it, and looked at the two of them very confused, "If the lord is in Xiapi, how can he know the movements of Cao Jun so quickly, how can you wait and rush to Xunyang now, could it be that the lord has the skill of unpredictable prophets?" ”

Chen Qingzhi naturally couldn't figure it out anyway, Cao Ren's movements, not long after he learned about it, before he could dispatch troops, Wu Liren, who was far away in Xiapi, actually gave him a special order, and the content of the letter was to ask him not to care about the land of Jingbei easily, and to help Zhou Yu defend the counties of Jingnan first.

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu laughed and said: "If it was before, I would be strange, but General Chen must not have guessed what kind of magic this Dai Zong brother beside me has, whether it is over mountains and mountains, or trekking through mountains and rivers, as if walking on the ground." Even if you take me with you, you can travel 500 miles a day. From Xiapi to Xunyang, it took less than three days to arrive. ”

Hearing Yuwen Chengdu's words, everyone present looked at Dai Zong like a monster, and Chen Qingzhi was even more surprised and couldn't say clearly, "This, Brother Dai, in the end...... Master and slave ...... The Lord is truly a man of God! ”

After a while, Chen Qingzhi held back his emotion, and looked at Yuwen Chengdu and Dai Zong very happily, "The two of you have worked hard all the way, it's better to go and rest for a while." ”

At this time, Dai Zong was indeed tired enough, and Yuwen Chengdu was also barely supporting, after all, this spell was not shrinking into inches, but only speeding up.

After the two left together, Chen Qingzhi looked at everyone, he still didn't understand Wu Liren's intentions at this time, "Why do you think that the lord wants to give up such important places as Jiangxia and Nanjun and seek to seek a remote place in Jingnan?" ”

"Does the lord think of the friendship with the Sun family, Sun Ce's new death, it is a difficult time, and it is indeed difficult to stop Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army."

Although Qin Zhao said this, he himself didn't trust his own judgment.

"Hehe, General Qin, the lord of the lord's majesty, how can he harm the great cause of a thousand years because of the righteousness of the people? In Liang's opinion, the lord's name is Zhusun's family, but in fact, he is seeking Sun's family. Sun Ce is dead, and people's hearts are unstable. I heard that Sun Ce did not pass on to his second brother Sun Quan, nor to Sun Jing, who was old and stable, but to a son Sun Yi, isn't this the way to make trouble? Although I don't know why Sun Ce made such a choice, I believe that the lord must have seen this, so let me wait to help the Sun clan block Cao Cao first, and if the Sun clan is assisted by the lord in this crisis, he will be grateful to Dade. In the future, the Sun family will have civil strife, and the Sun family's civil ministers and military generals will have a lot of talents. ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, the rest of the people nodded, but Chen Qingzhi looked at the word Zhou Yu in the secret letter.

Helping Zhou Yu instead of helping Sun, is the lord intentional or unintentional?

"It just so happened that Zhou Yu sent someone to ask for help yesterday, so let's see how we can reap the benefits of the fishermen in this battle."

Zhou Yu was standing on the city wall at this time, looking at Cao Cao's army not far away, at this time there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there were more than 5,000 soldiers and horses outside the city. However, if this is the case, then Changsha's troops will be even more stretched, and if Wu Liren takes the opportunity to send troops, he will not be able to resist at all.

"I just don't know if Chen Xu will send troops? If I were Chen Xu, I would probably take the opportunity to capture Jiangxia instead of fighting Cao Ren to the death, right? ”

What Zhou Yu said to Cheng Pu was actually just to stabilize the hearts of Sun Yi and the soldiers, if he held on, Cao Ren's little force would not be able to capture Changsha no matter what; As long as Cao Ren runs out of grain and grass, he will naturally retreat without a fight, which is Zhou Yu's final plan.

At this time, Cheng Pu came to Zhou Yu's side again, seeing that Zhou Yu was thinking about things at this time, and he didn't bother, after a while, Zhou Yu saw him, nodded, Cheng Pu saluted and said: "Dudu, I don't know when Chen Xu will send troops?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled, and then replied: "If what I expected is correct, there will be results within five days." ”

At this time, Cheng Pu suddenly laughed and said, "Dudu, I'm afraid you guessed wrong this time!" Look, the smoke and dust are billowing in the distance, it must be Chen Xu's soldiers and horses, right? ”

Zhou Yu frowned, if Chen Xu really led the army to the city at this time, then he dared to conclude that Chen Xu's intentions must not be on Cao Ren, and he would never let Chen Xu enter the city.

The soldiers and horses went down next to Gao Changgong's camp, and after half an hour, three horsemen came from outside the city, looking at Zhou Yu on the city wall and shouted: "Governor! Zhao Yi came to help! ”

Zhou Yu only saw clearly at this time that the city was Guiyang Taishou Zhao Yi, after Sun Ce's funeral, Zhao Yi returned to Guiyang to garrison, this time he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to lead the army to aid Changsha.

Zhou Yu hurriedly put Zhao Yi and others into the city, Zhao Yi saw Zhou Yu's gloomy face at this time, and hurriedly asked for sin: "Forgive the sins!" When the last general heard that the Cao thief was coming, he brought troops here without permission, which is really a capital crime! ”

At this time, Cheng Pu on the side saw Zhou Yu's face, and hurriedly stood up to intercede for Zhao Yi: "Dudu! Although General Zhao sent troops without being summoned, his loyalty can be seen, and for the sake of General Zhao's hard work, spare him this time! Besides, now that the strong enemy is on the side, General Zhao will definitely be able to relieve the siege of Changsha here, and even if Chen Xu does not send troops, then Cao Ren will definitely be able to break it! ”

Zhao Yi has always been deeply liked by Zhou Yu, whether it is martial arts or the ability to command troops, he is a good general in his eyes. But when he supported Sun Jing before, Zhou Yu felt a little worried in his heart. It's just that looking at the anxiety and eagerness in Zhao Yi's eyes at this time, he was suddenly relieved - after this change of the Sun family's seizure of the throne, he has now become suspicious, and even his cronies who fought with him on the battlefield in the past began to doubt it.

"General Debiao, please get up! Since you have already fallen into the village outside the city, then stay there with General Gao, and you can't let Cao Jun come over with a single soldier. If it is a big thief, I will definitely show the lord and give General Debiao an official and a knight! ”

Zhao Yi led all the 5,000 soldiers and horses of Guiyang to help, so that Zhou Yu, who had not been able to sleep well for the past few days, could finally sleep peacefully.

On the second day, Zhou Yu was still asleep, as if he heard the sound of shouting and fighting on the battlefield, he was shocked, woke up from the dream all of a sudden, and hurriedly called his subordinates in, and asked in shock: "What time is it?" What is the change in the Cao army on the front line? ”

At this time, the subordinate hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the governor, it is now three o'clock in the morning, and the little one sees that the governor is sleeping soundly, and he has not woken up the governor." Outside the city, Cao Jun did not make any changes for the time being. ”

Zhou Yu didn't expect that he would sleep so late, so he quickly got up and washed up, ate something indiscriminately, and was thinking about whether to inspect the city defense or meet Sun Yi first, when Cheng Pu rushed in in a panic from outside the door and shouted: "Governor!" Big things are wrong! Cao Ren is on the offensive! ”

Zhou Yu's face changed, he stood up, picked up his sword, and rushed out. Zhou Yu ordered all the soldiers and horses to go out of the city with Gan Ning, Xing Daorong and other generals, Cheng Pu wanted to keep up, but Zhou Yu ordered: "General Cheng, you are a veteran of the Three Dynasties, loyal to the Sun family, the lord is young now, and needs your support, you leave 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city to bless the lord's safety, I don't worry about the others!" ”

Cheng Pu was about to say something, but as soon as Zhou Yu said this, he swallowed the words he had thought of, and responded loudly: "The last general will definitely swear to protect the safety of the lord!" ”

Sun Yi also heard about the war outside the city, and was worried, and wanted to lead the army out of the city to fight, but was dissuaded by Cheng Pu: "The lord is a daughter, you must not take risks in person, if there is any damage, the old minister will be responsible for death!" ”

Sun Yi finally gave up, and Cheng Pu personally led the soldiers to garrison outside the door. It didn't take long to see Sun Quan leading the two of them to Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu recognized one of them as Zhang Yu, and the other person, he hadn't seen it before, had a somewhat fierce face, especially those eyes like copper bells, which made people feel a little palpitating.

Sun Quan approached and arched his hand at Cheng Pu: "General Cheng has worked hard!" ”

Cheng Pu was still angry at Sun Quan's murder of Sun Ce at this time, how could he give Sun Quan a good face, he snorted coldly and turned his head.

"Hey, General Cheng! Don't you also think that the death of my eldest brother was caused by me? Just with that fabricated letter, I put Sun Quan in a place of no return. Has General Cheng ever thought about what good it would do me if I murdered my brother? ”

Cheng Pu turned around again and gritted his teeth and said, "It's not to seize the position of lord as soon as possible. ”

"General Cheng has watched Sun Quan grow up since he was a child, doesn't he still know what my Sun Quan is? My eldest brother once wanted to pass it on to me, but I couldn't help it, how could I do such a wolf-hearted thing? ”

Cheng Pu was moved by Sun Quan's game, Sun Quan's character he knew since he was a child, and he still couldn't believe that Sun Quan would do such a thing, but that secret letter made him have to believe it.

"It's hard to tell the truth of this matter now, and I'll talk about it in the future, I don't know why Zhongmou came here? If you want to see the lord, General Rong will go and report it first. ”

Sun Quan shook his head and continued: "General Cheng, you are a loyal minister of my Sun family, and the eldest brother must have been bewitched by traitors before, so he passed on the throne to the third brother. However, the third brother is still young, how can he lead the civil and military forces to achieve great things? I also hope that General Cheng can help Quan, and he will be crowned a marquis and worship the general, and his name will go down in history. ”

Hearing that Sun Quan was still fantasizing at this time, Cheng Pu suddenly became vigilant, and immediately straightened his face again, "Now that the general trend has been decided, and the position of the main minister has been divided, if Zhong Mou dares to make such rebellious words again, don't blame the old minister for not talking about the past." ”

At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly walked out of the room, "Second brother, come in!" ”

Sun Yi had just heard the conversation between the two, and after listening to Sun Quan's defense, he believed his words for a while, so he wanted Sun Quan to come in and carefully ask about the cause and effect of the matter.

Cheng Pu saw Sun Yi's invitation, and he couldn't argue, so he had to follow Sun Quan in, and Cheng Pu also followed in just in case.

Sun Quan's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of ruthlessness, and he glanced at the two people beside him, and the two retreated, and Sun Quan walked in with Sun Yi and Cheng Pu.

At this time, the soldiers outside were carefully staring at Zhang Yu and another strange person, and the two of them also looked at the soldiers under Cheng Pu's command, and at this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from the room: "Cheng Pu, you are so bold, you dare to kill the master!" Come on, protect the lord! ”
