Zhou Yu laughed and said, "I really didn't expect that you have such great ability at such a young age. ”

"Of course, I'm a warrior who has killed tigers, and even the lord says I'm a rare general. Governor Zhou, are you convinced? Ling Tong said.

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "I've been pressed under you, can I still say I'm not convinced?" I've seen how powerful you are, you let me go, I'll just keep you. ”

Ling Tong was overjoyed at the moment, jumped up directly from Zhou Yu's body, and then pulled Zhou Yu up again, and said to Zhou Yu respectfully: "I offended a lot just now, and I ask the Metropolitan Governor to forgive me!" ”

"If it were normal times, you would definitely be guilty of a capital crime if you treated me like this, but this time I was at fault first, and I shouldn't look down on you, so this time it's just like that, and I won't take it as an example." Zhou Yu said.

As a result, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, especially Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, who finally fell back with a heart at this time.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's guards rushed over from outside, came to Zhou Yu's side, and clenched his fists and said: "Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, Jingzhou Naval Governor Huang Zhong sent a messenger to ask for a meeting!" ”

After hearing this, Zhou Yu asked with a puzzle in his heart: "Huang Zhong?" I have nothing to do with him, so how could he send a messenger to me? ”

"Governor, since everyone has already come, let's listen to what that man has to say." Zhu Huan said on the side.

Zhou Yu nodded, and asked someone to bring in the messenger sent by Huang Zhong.

Not long after, Zhou Yuncong walked in from outside, but saw Zhou Yugao sitting in the first position in the hall. On the left and right sat several generals. All eyes were on him.

"Little Huang An, see the Governor of Zhou!" Zhou Yuncong entered the door. immediately bowed respectfully to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said: "This governor has nothing to do with Huang Zhong, and he has never had any dealings, not to mention that now we are on two hostile sides, Huang Zhong sent you here at this time, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhou Yuncong said: "Qi Zhou Metropolitan Governor, I have here a letter written by my family's own handwriting, and the Metropolitan Governor will know it at a glance." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Yuncong took out a letter from his arms. Lit up in front of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu ordered his guards to go to get the letter, and then he took it and read it, and when he opened the letter and hurriedly looked at it, a trace of joy suddenly appeared on his face, because in this letter, it was clearly written that Huang Zhong wanted to surrender to Jiangdong.

But after a while, Zhou Yu's glimmer of joy vanished, and then he threw the letter in his hand, raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Yuncong. He shouted: "Bold maniac, since you dare to make fun of the governor of Pontus." Someone, arrest this man for me and behead him for public display! ”

As soon as the voice fell, a guard rushed over and pressed Zhou Yuncong to the ground, Zhou Yuncong immediately pretended to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and immediately shouted: "Dadu Governor, the two armies are fighting, and if you don't kill me, if you kill me like this, I'm afraid that someone will gossip about Dadudu, which is not good for Dadudu's reputation!" ”

Zhu Huan also said on the side: "Dadu Governor, what this person said is extremely true, I don't know what was said in the letter, which makes Dadu Governor so angry?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "The letter said that Huang Zhong was ready to surrender to our army......"

"That's a good thing, why did the Metropolitan Governor kill the people sent by Huang Zhong?" Zhu Huan said.

Zhou Yu said: "This Huang Zonggui is the governor of the navy, commanding the 130,000 navy army in Jingzhou, and he is also a high-ranking official over there, how could he surrender to our army for no reason?" What is this not a swindle? ”

Zhou Yuncong hurriedly said: "Metropolitan Governor, my family is no longer the Governor of the Navy, a month ago, Sima Yi, the general of Pingnan appointed by Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, inspected the naval camp, because of a few trivial things, the staff scolded my family for twenty military sticks, not to mention, and also dismissed my family, my family thought that King Yan would give him a head, but I didn't expect King Yan to be in the same stream with Sima Yi. When my family was angry, he didn't want to stay there, and after thinking about it, he wanted to surrender to the governor of Zhou. ”

Zhou Yu sneered: "Do you think that the Pontus Governor will believe these lies you say? ”

Zhou Yuncong said: "This is indeed the case, if the Metropolitan Governor does not believe it, even if he sends someone across the river to investigate, if I have half a lie, I will ask the Metropolitan Governor to behead me, and I will never complain." ”

As soon as Zhou Yuncong's words fell, a guard hurriedly ran over from outside, walked straight to Zhou Yu's side, and then leaned down and whispered a few words in Zhou Yu's ear.

After Zhou Yu listened, he squirmed his lips, replied in a low voice, and then got up and said, "Wait here for a while, I have something important, leave the time of a stick of incense first, and come back in a while." Also, show me the person named Huang An! ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yu turned around and walked towards the back hall, taking three steps and two steps to the backyard. After arriving in the backyard, Zhou Yu was amazed to see that by a wall in the backyard, there were more than a dozen guards around, they were holding torches, and a man covered in blood was lying in it, with a broken arrow stuck in his chest.

"The Governor is here." The guards shouted, and the rest of the people dodged to both sides, but the bloody man lying on the ground squirmed a few times and tried to stand up, but he couldn't stand up because of his injuries.

"Governor, I'm ......," the bloody man wanted to say something, but he coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Zhou Yu hurriedly walked over, did not dislike the blood stains on this person's body, grabbed his hand, and comforted: "Don't speak, your injury is not light, I will send someone to find a doctor to treat you." ”

The man shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I am seriously wounded, and I am dying, and before I die, I just want to see the Governor and tell the Governor what I have found out about the enemy." ”

This person is the military Sima of the scout army next to Zhou Yu, and he is also Zhou Yu's fellow countryman, so Zhou Yu cares about him very much.

Zhou Yu saw that the broken arrow was stuck in the man's chest, the blood was still bubbling outward, and the clothes on his body were already stained with blood, just imagine if he was shot by the enemy. It's already a miracle to be able to make it back by holding on. Zhou Yu saw that he had lost too much blood. Pallor. Knowing that he was not far from death, he frowned and said, "What news have you found?" ”

"All the news is written on this, and the Metropolitan Governor will know it at a glance!" This person took out a small package from his arms, the package was stained with his blood, and as soon as he handed this package to Zhou Yu, the whole person was killed.

Zhou Yu saw him dead. Feeling extremely sad and indignant, but unwilling to show it, he picked up the package that the man had desperately brought back, and said to the guards, "Bury him well." ”

"Whoa!"

Zhou Yu took a torch and opened the package, revealing a booklet, because it was wrapped in a layer of oilcloth, so the blood did not infect the booklet, and in it, it was the news that the scout's military Sima had found out after staying with the enemy army for a month. It's all written above.

In addition to him, there are still more than 100 scouts hiding inside the enemy army. They were scattered in different places, and continued to collect intelligence for Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu opened the booklet, reflected the firelight, and read the booklet carefully from beginning to end, and when he saw that it recorded that Sima Yi scolded Huang Zhong with 20 military sticks, dismissed Huang Zhong from his post, and then did a series of things that aroused the public anger of the army generals, he felt a little comforted in his heart.

"It seems that the person named Huang An is not lying, and what he said is true." Zhou Yu said to himself, "If Huang Zhong really takes refuge in our army, it will undoubtedly be an opportunity for our army." When the time comes, it is not impossible to cooperate with him inside and outside and defeat the invading enemy. ”

So, Zhou Yu hid the booklet in his arms, washed off the blood on his hands, and then pretended to be fine, and returned to the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhou Yu said to Zhu Huan, Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Tong and others present: "I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for a long time, I have a sudden illness and I have to go to see it, and now I have called a doctor, and it is no big deal." ”

"Madame's illness is important, Dadu Governor, I have been bothering for a long time, it is better to stop here today, and tomorrow we will officially go to the military camp to meet Dadu." Zhu Huan said.

Zhou Yu said: "It's okay, then I won't send it, you go slowly!" ”

After Zhu Huan, Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Tong and the others had finished, Zhou Yu said to the guards: "Lock Huang An in the firewood room first, no one can let him out without my order." ”

"Whoa!"

After a while, Zhou Yu was the only one left in the hall, he asked people to bring the map, spread it out on the table, and then held his cheeks, thinking hard about how to deal with the enemy. In addition, Zhou Yu also wrote a letter to inform Sun Quan of Huang Zhong's surrender and see what Sun Quan thought.

After finishing this, Zhou Yu remembered that Zhou Yuncong was still locked up in the firewood room, so he went straight to the firewood room, and after seeing Zhou Yuncong, he asked: "What you said in the hall, I have asked people to investigate it clearly, and it can be proved that what you said is the truth." However, Huang Zhong wants to surrender to our army, but I don't dare to believe it too much, now everyone knows that Zhang Yan, the king of Yan, has a huge power, how could he abandon Zhang Yan to join us? ”

"My lord said that good birds choose trees to perch, and good days choose the lord and things, I used to think that King Yan was the master, but my lord was scolded and dismissed by Sima Yi's cane, which is a great injustice. Instead of calling the shots, King Yan ignored my general, such a person is not worthy of my general's life. Zhou Yuncong said.

Zhou Yu said: "What you said is quite good. Huang Zhong is just a grass man now, if he wants to surrender to our army, what kind of benefits can he bring to our army? ”

Zhou Yuncong said with a smile: "My family said that he knew that the Governor of Zhou would ask this, so he was ready early in the morning." I also let me tell the governor of the city, although he is not the governor of the navy now, but his connections are still there, I think my general has been in Jingzhou for many years, and now most of the generals in the navy are promoted by my generals, and my generals have also instigated a lot of generals in private, as long as my generals make any moves, they will respond immediately, and when the time comes, they should cooperate with the governor of Zhou, and first eliminate the navy army commanded by Sima Yi, so that Zhang Yan can be dealt a painful blow, so that he does not dare to underestimate Jiangdong, and then my general will lead the army to recapture Jingzhou, Dedicated to General Sun of Jiangdong. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Zhang Yan has laid down heavy troops in Jingzhou, how can your general say that he can capture Jingzhou?" ”

"My general said that if he can capture Jingzhou, he will definitely be able to capture Jingzhou, and if the governor doesn't believe it, then I can't do anything. It's a big deal, my general went west to take refuge in Liu Zhang, and with the reputation and prestige of my general in Jingzhou, I believe that Liu Zhang will definitely accept my general. Zhou Yuncong said.

"Yizhou Liu Zhang is an incompetent person, your general is such a heroic figure, if you go there, there is no use at all, and Yizhou is more xenophobic, and your general is a famous figure, if you go to Yizhou, I am afraid that there will be generals who are worried that your general will seize Yizhou."

"So, my general said, let me go to Jiangdong first, if you are not willing to accept my general, my general can only go to Yizhou to protect himself." Zhou Yuncong said.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said: "I have already written to my lord, whether to accept or not to accept your general, it is all up to my lord, you wait here for a few days, and when there is news, I will let you go back, how about it?" ”

"Then it will bother the Governor of Zhou, but this doesn't seem to be a place to entertain guests......"

"Hehe, this is easy to do, I will arrange for you to go to the guest room to rest in a while, please bear with me if you are lazy." (To be continued......)
