Zhou Yu looked back and caught a glimpse of the treacherous eyes of the shopkeeper Chen.

Dressed as an indigenous person, his appearance is not good, and his eyes reveal the greed, cunning, and philistine of a businessman, which makes Zhou Yu feel disgusted. But in order to keep in touch with Xiao Qiao, and also to use Xiao Qiao to obtain information, he had to restrain his disgust and continue to deal with this profiteer.

"Come back to camp with me!"

Zhou Yu flicked his sleeves, lowered his hat, and led Shopkeeper Chen straight to his camp.

Most of the faces of the yellow-haired and white-skinned Guishuang are interspersed with dark-skinned and brown-skinned people, but there are fewer and fewer people with yellow skin and black hair like themselves.

Among the camps of more than 100,000 people, there are less than 100 Han people left, all of whom are henchmen who followed Zhou Yu from birth to death.

After entering the camp tent, Zhou Yu sat behind the table, trying to maintain his former majesty: "I just sent a letter five days ago, and now you come again, is it too frequent?" ”

"Hehe......" Shopkeeper Chen sneered, "No way, Miss Xiao Qiao's orders, there is something important to report to the governor!" ”

"Bring it!" Zhou Yu's face was as pale as frost, and he stretched out his hand to signal the shopkeeper Chen to hand over the letter.

"Hehe...... shopkeeper Chen laughed wickedly, stretched out his finger and asked for money, "Don't hide it from the governor, I have been running too hard in the past few days, and the horse is tired to death." Need a sum of money for a good horse, it's a bit tight on hand......"

The disgust on Zhou Yu's face became stronger and stronger, if this guy wasn't a profiteer who had to make inches, he would have jumped off the cliff. But then again. If it weren't for this, a profiteer who loves money like his life. If you change to a normal person, you wouldn't dare to take this risk!

"Bring the letter!"

Zhou Yu got up with a look of disdain, took out a storage box from the bed, took a few pieces of broken gold from it, and slapped it on the table. He motioned for the profiteer to hand over the letter first.

Chen Rong immediately smiled and handed the letter to Zhou Yu, picked up the broken gold from the table and bit it a few times, and said with a smile: "Hehe...... is still the governor generous, much more generous than Qiao Guniang! ”

Zhou Yu was furious and glared at the shopkeeper Chen: "I warn you again, don't embarrass Xiao Qiao, how much money I gave you, at least enough for you to spend three lifetimes, right?" Qiao Yan is still a girl, how can she have so much money for you to squeeze? No man is content. A wicked man is his own hell! ”

"Hey...... Don't be angry, don't be angry! A big man like you, the governor, should not be angry with a marketman like me. "Shopkeeper Chen's clever tongue is like a spring and laughs, and he copes with it easily.

If Liu Wei is here, he will definitely applaud Chen Rong's acting skills, and he will be proud of his vision of selecting people. This is a natural play, a good act, and after years of contact, Zhou Yu has been convinced. I hate his greed and cunning, but I want to use him to contact Little Joe.

Shopkeeper Chen played with the broken gold in his hand, and his face loved money like life: "After the new year, Miss Xiao Qiao will be fifteen, and Tingting Yuli, who has long been gone." Alluring the country and the city, she is no longer the girl in the governor's mind! ”

"Really?"

Listening to Boss Chen's words, Zhou Yu's anger slowly dissipated. His eyes were full of longing, "Pinch your fingers and calculate." I hadn't seen Little Joe for five or six years, when she was nine years old. is still a lovely little girl. At that time, she called me Brother Gongjin, and she still ...... But I can't guess what she looks like. I'm still the same as before, but the girl I love has grown up......"

Shopkeeper Chen ignored Zhou Yu's fascination, and continued to say in a philistine manner: "Miss Xiao Qiao wants to reward the villain, so naturally she can't refute her face, right?" And...... The villain came to see the governor this time, and Miss Xiao Qiao also asked me to bring a copy of her painting, which was made by the top painter of the Han Dynasty, to comfort the governor of lovesickness. ”

"Is that true?" Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and the letter he had just opened couldn't be browsed, so he stretched out his hand to the shopkeeper Chen and said, "Where is Xiao Qiao's portrait?" ”

"Ahem......" Boss Chen coughed, and the state of the philistine was fully revealed, "The weather is getting colder and colder, although it is warmer than Jiangdong, but the long night is also difficult!" The villain didn't have enough clothes to wear, and when the governor saw me running back and forth, he must be unbearable, right? ”

"You ......"

Zhou Yu was furious, and couldn't help but reach out to touch the saber on his waist.

His fingers reached his waist, and he was empty, and he remembered that he had been lying on the sickbed recently, and he had not been wearing a sword for more than three months. As a military general, March does not wear a sword, which is also a kind of sadness!

Boss Chen was not panicked, and said with a smile: "Governor, you have to be considerate of the villain, I am carrying my head for money, and it is estimated that few people in the whole world dare to take such a risk except me." Miss Xiao Qiao's beautiful appearance and moon appearance, even I, a person in the market, are fascinated by it, is Zhou Dudu reluctant to donate generously? ”

Zhou Yu suppressed his anger, took out two pieces of broken gold from the box again and threw them at the feet of the shopkeeper Chen: "Bring the portrait." ”

"I knew the Governor was a generous man."

Shopkeeper Chen smiled and bent down to pick up the broken gold, put it in his sleeve before taking out a scroll portrait from his arms, and stepped forward to hand it to Zhou Yu: "It's not too early, the villain will retire for the time being." ”

Zhou Yu didn't even bother to roll his eyelids, and ordered the soldiers outside the tent to send this profiteer out of the camp, if it wasn't still useful, he wouldn't have enough heads to cut off.

Slowly spread out the scroll, and what caught my eye was a girl wearing green clothes, mopping the floor in a long skirt, her skin was better than snow, her posture was captivating, her green silk was like a waterfall, and her figure was graceful, looking at Zhou Yu with a smile, as if she would come out of the portrait at any time.

"Little Joe is so beautiful? It's even more moving than I imagined, that is, Xi Shi and Zhaojun, I'm afraid it's also slightly inferior, right? Looking at Xiao Qiao's portrait, Zhou Yu couldn't help but get drunk, in this life, there can be such a beauty who loves him, what is the regret of dying?

After looking at Xiao Qiao's portrait for a long time, Zhou Yu came back to his senses and focused on Xiao Qiao's letter: "Zhou Lang, I heard that you are not in good spirits, and your condition is getting worse, and the concubine is really worried about her body and mind, and she only hates that she is a daughter and can't share her worries for Zhou Lang."

A few days ago, I heard Liu Wei and his sister chatting, Guiyang Taishou sent someone to escort a batch of grain to Cangwu, because the Cangwu granary was in disrepair and low-lying and damp, so he quietly sent this batch of grain to Mengling County for storage. I wonder if Zhou Lang can make some articles on this, and the morale of the town?

Brother Gongjin, Qiao Yan doesn't want to see you passive sinking, I just want to see my heroic and lupine scarf, I hope you cheer up and return to the top! ”

Zhou Yu immediately put down the letter and went to Meng Tian's camp to ask for a meeting, and proposed to send troops to attack Mengling and burn the grain and grass of the Han army.

"Are you sure the information is correct?" Meng Tian stroked his beard and groaned, "Could it be that Liu Wei deliberately set a trap to lure you into the shortlist?" ”

Zhou Yu arched his hand and said: "General, please rest assured, Yu's inside line is more reliable than anyone else, Yu is willing to make a military order, if there is a mistake, he is willing to apologize with death!" ”

"Since Gong Jin is so confident, the general will allocate 6,000 cavalry to you to go to Mengling. You need to be cautious when you go, and if there is anything suspicious, you must quickly withdraw your troops, and don't be greedy! Meng Tian saw what Zhou Yu said, so he agreed to his request.

Zhou Yu immediately ordered 6,000 cavalry, and in the evening led the troops out of the camp to the east, galloping along the remote road to the north of the starry night, each timer ran seventy miles, and arrived at the city of Mengling at dawn.

The county seat of Mengling is about 60 miles away from Guangxin, the seat of Cangwu County, and is a small county town with a population of only seven or eight thousand people. According to normal speaking, there are only two or three hundred soldiers stationed in such a small county, and Zhou Yu led his troops to the city, and as far as the eye can see, there are flags on the head of the city, and there are at least more than 1,000 Han soldiers stationed there.

"Depending on the situation, this Mengling has increased its garrison, and there will be grain and grass in the city!" Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with joy, he drew his sword in his hand, and personally led the troops to charge, "Attack the city with me!" ”

For a time, the sound of killing under Mengling City was everywhere, and most of the Guishan cavalry got off their horses and launched a strong attack on the county seat with a cloud ladder.

This Kushan cavalry was an elite division, which could not only gallop on horseback, but also attack cities and plunder, and was well-equipped and strong in combat. In order to boost Zhou Yu's morale, Meng Tian handed over this strong team to him to command, which shows that he attaches great importance to Zhou Yu.

"Kill, break the city!"

Zhou Yu was dressed in armor, drew his sword in his hand, carried the cloud ladder, and charged forward with arrows. The Guishan army was deeply inspired, and they fought to the death, and in less than half an hour, they climbed to the top of Mengling City and opened the city gate.

Zhou Yu led the troops straight to the granary of the county seat, and after opening the door, he saw a warehouse full of corn, and roughly estimated that there were at least about 100,000 stones, and he couldn't help but be full of joy: "Xiao Qiao really didn't deceive me!" ”

Mengling County was only sixty miles away from Cangwu, where Liu Wei was seated, and Zhou Yu also knew that the main force of the Han army would soon come to reinforce it, and it was impossible to rob the grain and grass, so he could only set a fire and burn it.

"Set fire to the grain!"

Zhou Yu personally lit the torch and ignited the Mengling granary, watching the raging fire burn more and more, soaring into the sky, slowly devouring the entire granary, the smile on Zhou Yu's face was much more confident, "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, four hundred years ago, Liu Bang was repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu, and in the end, didn't he turn defeat into victory?" One day I will wash away the shame of the past with victory! ”

"General Qiyu, the main force of the Han army has rushed from Cangwu to reinforce, led by Zhao Kuo and Shang Shifu!" Zhou Yu's scout is reported quickly.

"Retreat!"

Zhou Yu turned over and led the Guishan army to retreat calmly, leaving Mengling County like a tide, taking another route to return to the Guishan camp, and sending someone to inform Meng Tian of the news of the success of burning grain.

After Wu Qi and Zhuge Liang learned the news of Zhou Yu's detour and sneak attack on Mengling, they sent troops out of the camp to intercept them, but they did not find any trace of Zhou Yu's army. In order to meet Zhou Yu, Meng Tian transferred troops out of the camp to fight with the Han army, and in the evening, Zhou Yu led nearly 6,000 Guishan troops to return to the Guishan camp unharmed.

"Haha...... Gong Jin is really brave and strategic, with the assistance of Gong Jin, he is better than 100,000 male soldiers! Meng Tian did not hesitate to praise Zhou Yu, "I will definitely ask the regent for credit for you, so that you can become an official and become a knight, and the scenery is infinite!"
