In Yunyang City, Zhou Yu sat in the county office, and the sadness on his face could not be dissipated no matter what. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Zhou Yu, even if there were 30,000 people under his command, felt extremely lonely.

"I thought that with my brother's prestige in Jiangdong, as long as I could inform the rest of the generals of the cause of my brother's death, I would definitely be able to get everyone's help."

"I never thought that even Ziyi didn't respond to me."

Many of the generals of Eastern Wu were Sun Ce's old subordinates, and it stands to reason that if they knew the cause of Sun Ce's death, they would support Zhou Yu, and then assist Sun Shao to inherit the foundation of Eastern Wu.

However, the generals' reaction was unexpected by Zhou Yu.

Not to mention anything else, there is no need to say more about the relationship between Tai Shi Ci and Sun Ce, but later Zhou Yu wrote a letter to Tai Shi Ci and told Tai Shi Ci about the cause and effect of the incident.

However, the letters were like mud cows in the sea, and there was no news at all.

Just when Zhou Yu was about to give up, Tai Shici replied with a letter to Zhou Yu, and after reading the contents, Zhou Yu was silent for a long time.

Tai Shici's reply is nothing more than three points.

First, Zhou Yu had no evidence to prove that Sun Quan sent someone to poison Sun Ce.

If you only hear the words of Chen Xu's family, it is inevitable that you will be biased, and you may fall for Chen Xu's discordant plan and turn Dongwu upside down.

Second, since King Wu inherited the foundation of Eastern Wu, although he did not expand the territory, he also governed the territory in an orderly manner, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Jiangdong scholars returned to their hearts.

If this matter is announced to the world now, and then an army is raised to attack Sun Quan and assist Sun Shao to succeed to the throne, not only will it not succeed, but it will also kill Sun Shao.

Third, if Zhou Yu rebels, the alliance of the princes will definitely fall apart, and the campaign against Chen Xu will also fail.

Tai Shici asked at the end, even if Wu Hou was killed by Sun Quan, would Zhou Yu be willing to see the Eastern Wu fall and the Sun family be exterminated?

It can be said that Tai Shici's words were heart-wrenching, and Zhou Yu's heart was also greatly shaken.

Of course, this does not mean that Tai Shi Ci thinks farther than Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu is just a fan of the authorities, stimulated by Sun Ce's death.

And Zhou Yu also knew that even if he didn't rebel, Sun Quan wouldn't be able to tolerate him sooner or later.

"My lord, why is your face full of sorrow?"

At this moment, a cronie came to Zhou Yu's side and asked softly.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Tell me, if my brother has a spirit in the sky, would you like to see me raise an army to rebel?" ”

The cronies hesitated for a moment before saying, "The subordinates dare not say it." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Even if you say what you mean by heart, I won't blame you." ”

The cronies plucked up their courage and said: "Wu Hou is heroic and powerful, and he wants to strengthen the foundation of the Sun family. ”

"Even if Marquis Wu knows that he was poisoned by King Wu, after seeing the current situation of Eastern Wu, I am afraid that he will not let the lord raise troops to rebel and avenge him."

"All Wu Hou cares about is whether the Sun family is prosperous or not, that's all."

Zhou Yu stood on the spot, silent for a long time, his cronies were panicked, and said: "The subordinates are just talking nonsense, and the lord should not take it to heart." ”

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "You can retreat." ”

After his cronies left, Zhou Yu collapsed in the house, his eyes were a little dull, and his eyes were full of tears.

Indeed, as his cronies said, according to Sun Ce's character, even if he knew that he was poisoned by Sun Quan, he was afraid that he would entrust the Jiangdong Foundation to Sun Quan, and he was even more reluctant to see Zhou Yu rebel.

Zhou Yu is elegant and broad-minded, Sun Ce has the same temperament as him, how can he be a person with a small belly?

Of course, this does not mean that Sun Ce is great, it can only be said that Sun Ce can see the situation clearly and know that no one can lead the Sun family to become strong except Sun Quan.

Although his son Sun Shao has some courage, he is not a king after all, even with the help of Zhou Yu, I am afraid it will be difficult to dominate Jiangdong.

Moreover, the current Soochow cannot have civil strife at all, otherwise it will only give Chen Xu an opportunity to take advantage of.

Zhou Yu felt pain in his heart, grabbed his hair with both hands, and his hair was scattered like a mad demon, without the slightest appearance of elegance and calmness in the past.

"Brother, it's not that I don't know this, it's just that I'm not worth it for you, and I can't swallow this breath in my heart."

"If outsiders plot to kill you, even if I will be sad, I will not be so angry, but Sun Quan is your own brother, a brother."

"Brother, you can be said to be like a brother and a father to Sun Quan, taking care of him meticulously, and cultivating him as the successor of Jiangdong, but how did he treat you?"

"Such a ruthless, wolf-hearted person, how can I, Zhou Yu, be subservient!"

Zhou Yu burst into tears, his face was withered, but he also felt a deep powerlessness.

Zhou Yu originally wanted to contact Sun Ce's old ministry and then staged a coup d'état to assist Sun Shao in succeeding to the throne, so that he could do his best to preserve the vitality of Eastern Wu.

It's just that Sun Quan's means of winning people's hearts are extraordinary, so much so that almost all of the letters sent by Zhou Yu to Sun Ce's old ministry did not reply at all.

Now Zhou Yu is in a dilemma, if he openly raises the banner to rebel, with this little force in his hands, it is impossible to succeed at all, at most it will only stink Sun Quan's reputation and make Jiangdong turbulent.

At that time, not only Zhou Yu's family members who remained in Soochow would be executed, but even Sun Shao would find it difficult to live.

But if he didn't rebel, not only would there be no way to avenge Sun Ce, but even Zhou Yu's own net worth and life would be difficult to preserve.

After Zhou Yu died, it would be difficult for his family and Sun Shao to survive, and Zhou Yu didn't believe that Sun Quan would be so generous and leave them all behind.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu calculated everything, but after all, he still miscalculated people's hearts.

Lying on his back on the ground, Zhou Yu's eyes looked a little blank, and he muttered to himself: "My brother is silent in the old department, what should I do?" ”

"Lord, lord, Mr. Zhuge has an order!"

Just then, a cronie ran in with a letter in his hand.

Zhou Yu hurriedly wiped away his tears, tidied up his clothes, and said, "Quickly bring the letter." ”

When the cronies saw Zhou Yu's appearance, they were a little shocked, but they didn't say anything, and handed the letter to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu tore open the envelope, and after reading the contents, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Haha, haha, hahaha!"

Zhou Yu read the letter twice, couldn't help laughing out loud, and his mind became very active.

"Yuan Tan withdrew his troops and returned to Jizhou, now that the coalition forces have lost their advantage, Kong Ming asked me to lead the troops to attack Liangzhou, disrupt Chen Wenzhao's rear, and make it impossible for him to gather all his strength to fight with the coalition forces."

"This letter is simply a lifesaver for me."

Zhou Yu has been struggling with what to do, and has the intention of rebelling to assist Sun Shao in succeeding to the throne, but without the help of Sun Ce's old department, there is absolutely no reason to succeed.

Moreover, the families of his corporal and soldiers are all in Soochow, Zhou Yu has no doubt that if he raises the banner to rebel, even if they follow him for many years, there will still be many soldiers who will mutiny.

But if you don't rebel, you can't go back and pretend that nothing happened, and continue to work for Sun Quan.

Therefore, Zhou Yu didn't know what to do next.

However, Zhuge Liang's letter opened a new door for Zhou Yu.

"If I follow Zhuge Jun's order and lead the army to take Liangzhou, I can have a foothold."

"Liangzhou is too far away from Eastern Wu, even if Sun Quan gives an order in the future, I can not listen to it, as long as I entrench in Liangzhou for a day, Sun Quan will not dare to harm Ah Shao and my family."

"In this way, it can not only contain Chen Wenzhao, so that Guanzhong cannot be dominant, but also have a way out, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Although Zhou Yu only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, the Liangzhou troops were almost exhausted, and there were no generals and strategists stationed there.

With his hands behind his back and walking back and forth in the house a few times, Zhou Yu finally made up his mind and prepared to lead his troops to attack Liangzhou on a detour.

"If you want to take Liangzhou, the biggest obstacle is to arrive in Liangzhou quietly, if Chen Wenzhao is prepared in advance, send troops to intercept, or let the Liangzhou guards have precautions in advance, and then want to take Liangzhou, it may not be easy."

Just thinking of this, Zhou Yu immediately sneered and said: "Actually, I'm too worried, Yunyang is quite far away from Chang'an, and it only takes five days to march north to reach Beidi County in Liangzhou." ”

"As long as you take a county town, you can use this as a foundation, and when Chen Wenzhao and the coalition forces are in a stalemate, attack the entire Liangzhou."

Zhou Yu was originally in the territory of Zuo Fengyi to suppress bandits, the northwest of Zuo Fengyi is the Beidi County of Liangzhou, and Yunyang is located in the northwest of Zuo Fengyi, so Zhou Yu is very close to Liangzhou.

Finally, Zhou Yu gave an order: "Commander Zhuge has an order, let me wait to go north to attack Liangzhou, disrupt Chen Wenzhao's rear, and prepare the whole army to march north tomorrow!" ”

Spring slowly passed, and the weather became hotter and hotter, Zhou Yu led the army to march quickly, even on the war horse, his face showed fine beads of sweat.

A Wu general wiped the beads of sweat from his face and said to Zhou Yu: "Metropolitan Governor, the front is the junction of Liangzhou, Sili, and Bingzhou. ”

"There is a mountain road here, the mountain road is nine twists and turns, as long as you pass it, you can reach Northland County."

Zhou Yu knew that this canyon was very steep, and immediately said: "Although we are marching very quickly, it is impossible for the Guanzhong army to react and set up an ambush here in advance. ”

"It's just that the military is dangerous, it's better to be cautious and vigilant, you first lead the scouts into the canyon to reconnoiter and see if there is an ambush."

General Wu took the order and left, and after a long time he turned back and said, "Governor, there are no ambushes in the canyon, let's hurry into the canyon." ”

Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately led the army into the canyon.

After entering the canyon, Zhou Yu looked at the steep terrain inside, and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, there are no ambushes here, otherwise only 3,000 soldiers and horses are needed to stop my 30,000 troops." ”

However, as soon as Zhou Yu's words fell, there was an immediate sound of bangzi, and dense arrows shot down from the canyon.

The member Wu Jiang who went to explore the way hurriedly shouted at Zhou Yuben: "Protect the Grand Governor!" ”

However, Zhou Yu's face changed drastically, and he ordered his own soldiers to say: "Kill this person!" ”

"Chirp!"

But that Wu Jiang moved too fast, and an arrow shot head-on, Zhou Yu couldn't dodge, hit the shoulder, and fell off the horse.

After shooting Zhou Yu, the member Wu General immediately shouted loudly: "The Governor was shot to death by the thief army, I will flee quickly!" ”
