Chapter 532: Zhou Yu with a tight heart (third update)

Liu Feng started the Northern Expedition, intending to run rampant in Jingchu and go north to dominate.

But the specific intention is only known to Liu Feng himself and the ministers under his account.

The rest of Zhou Yu and Liu Bei were convinced of Liu Feng's death, how could they think that as soon as Liu Feng died, the ministers under his account began to plan the Northern Expedition?

And the news of Liu Feng's entry into the army soon reached the ears of Zhou Yu, Liu Bei, and Xu Huang in Jiangling. However, it was not the man who set off from Xiakou, but Xu Shu.

Xu Shu's public security was only separated from Jiangling by a river, and Zhou Yu himself was defenseless, so he ordered Wen Ping to be the vanguard, led 20,000 people into the east of Jiangling City, and chose an open area to camp.

Wen Ping settled down very smoothly, and Xu Shu's army of 45,000 also came to the east of Jiangling City smoothly.

Set up camp, set up fences, dig trenches, traps.

It's going on in an orderly way. Xu Shu's purpose was to settle down in this place, wait for the round with Liu Feng, and attack Zhou Yu.

Relying on his own 45,000 men and horses alone, Xu Shu was really not sure to fight to the death with Zhou Yu, who had 60,000 or 70,000 horses.

However, Xu Shu's arrival made the original tripartite contention, which was very lively, fall into a strange calm inside and outside Jiangling City.

Jiangling City, in the past, Liu Feng relied on transporting a large number of military baggage in Jiangling City, and became rich, and was able to launch successive wars and annex the seven counties.

It can be said that without Jiangling City, there would be no Liu Feng.

At that time, Gangneung Fortress was also very strong, and the city was tall. But at this moment, Gangneung City is very dilapidated.

In addition to the south because it is close to the Yangtze River, there is no way to set up a siege and the north, Zhou Yu specially left Xu Huang a way to retreat.

The southeast side was blood-red, full of stumps and broken arms, arrows, and weapons. There are even some walls that have begun to crack and are on the verge of collapsing.

Tens of thousands of corpses were scattered on both sides, and they attacked fiercely for months. It's not over. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there is only one breath left in Gangneung City now.

It's too miserable, of the 30,000 or 40,000 remnants, only 120,000 remain, and more than half of them are wounded.

Xu Huang also planned to return to Xiangyang from the north.

It's just that the road in the north is not easy to walk, Zhou Yu's approach is almost the same as the lack of one, and Xu Huang is not sure whether Zhou Yu wants to leave a way to survive and hit his confidence in guarding Jiangling.

Or leave him a trap and encounter an ambush on the way.

However, anyway, the time to break through is almost in these days.

Even Xu Huang never thought that he would suddenly be able to come back to life one day. The soldiers guarding Mén reported that a large army had suddenly appeared in the southeast, and in a short time it had set up camp. After this news.

Xu Huang realized something, and his heart couldn't help but be overjoyed.

A few months ago, Cao Cào sent someone to report that Liu Feng might still be alive and told him to be careful. At that time, Xu Huang paid attention.

And he is also the most sober now, and the person who came must not only be Xu Shu, but also the rest of the army to cooperate. Liu Feng is still alive.

At the head of the southern city, Xu Huang put on his armor and took dozens of personal soldiers to walk up to the city in person to observe the camp ahead.

After looking at the handsome flag with the word "Chu" erected in the southeast camp, I observed this large camp with a wide coverage and calculated the strength of the troops.

Xu Huang raised his head and laughed: "It's really heaven and soul for me." ”

"Come on, find a way to pass the news to Yu Ban in Xiangyang, and tell him that the prime minister's guess is true, and Liu Feng is eighty percent likely to be alive." Xu Huang said to a confidant beside him.

"No." The soldier replied loudly, turned and walked down the wall.

After the soldiers left, Xu Huang did not leave immediately, but looked ahead for a while, and the more he looked, the more smiles on his face.

I thought that I was attacked by Zhou Yu and Liu Bei, so I could only abandon the city and leave. Unexpectedly, Xu Shu kicked him sideways.

In the past, Xu Huang was afraid of Liu Bei and Zhou Yu's coalition army, but now Liu Feng's army is also here, and the conflict of interests between the three parties is so strong.

Let them fight.

Xu Huang thought in his heart.

Xu Huang had a feeling of escaping, but Zhou Yu felt uneasy.

The onslaught was too strong a few days ago, and these days, Zhou Yu's camp is adjusting. After resting for a while, we will proceed to the siege.

Therefore, when the news came, Zhou Yu was in the camp, discussing countermeasures with the generals.

There are Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lu Dai, Zhu Ran, Zhu Zhi, and Lu Su.

At present, Cheng Pu guards Calcium City, while Zhou Tai guards Hukou. Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng, and Zhuge Jin were captured by Liu Feng, and Pan Zhang was killed by Liu Feng.

Under Zhou Yu's rule, there are only these people left.

Although the number of people is a little smaller, they are all jīng rui. In addition, now is the time for Zhou Yu to defeat Cao Cào and seize Jiangling, and then turn around and swallow the Seven Counties, and the momentum will rise.

These people are also sitting together, and they are also extraordinary.

"Depending on the situation, it is not far from the time when Xu Huang leads his troops to break through. It's time for the Metropolitan Governor to set up an ambush. "Huang Gai is an old minister of Jiangdong III, and during the Battle of Chibi, he was even more brilliant, bitter and scheming, and became the number one hero who defeated Cao Cào. At this time, it was the time to be in high spirits, suggesting that Zhou Yu would set up an ambush in the north of Jiangling and completely kill Xu Huang, a good general of the Cao army.

"The old general is highly respected, and the drudgery of setting up an ambush is still given to Jiāo." Lu Dai on the other side said with a smile.

Lu Dai is a native of Guangling, and he has a great reputation in later generations, and he is a general of Jiangdong. But now, it's still weak. The reputation is not obvious.

But because of his old qualifications, he can be ranked with everyone present.

"If you want to grab credit, just say it, why beat around the bush?" Huang Gai was in a good mood, and Lu Dai's words were not harsh, so he just rolled his eyes and was not angry.

"Huh." Lu Dai also smiled and looked at Zhou Yu.

The general's grabbing of merit is a manifestation of his vigor, and of course Zhou Yu will not stop it. But I also began to think about the candidate in my heart.

An ambush is a must, and leaving Xu Huang behind is also very beneficial to Jiangdong. But this is the candidate. Lu Dai, Huang Gai can be.

But considering that Huang Gai has already made a lot of contributions in the battle of Chibi, it is time to give Lu Dai a chance.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yu made a decision. But just when Zhou Yu was about to put his decision into action. I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

Riding horses in the barracks showed that something big had happened. All the people in the big tent changed in unison. The thought of fighting for merit just now was suddenly gone.

A moment later, a soldier walked in. even said the news that shocked everyone present.

"Report to the governor of the capital, there is an army of Xu Shu in the southwest, about forty or fifty thousand people."

Xu Shu sent troops, and there were forty or fifty thousand people, in other words, they poured out. What the hell is going on. Now that Liu Feng is dead, what can Xu Shu do?

Could it be that Xu Shu really planned to use his 45,000 men to fight for Jiangling? Are you kidding.

That's what everyone here was thinking. When following Wulin, Chen Fang, the guard general who was killed by Gan Ning, had a thought.

In their imagination, Jiang Xia should be in the inner luàn, fighting for power, and the internal trouble is endless.

"What is the purpose, send an envoy to ask. Come and summon Luo Tong. Zhou Yu was also shocked for a moment, but then, a sneer appeared on his face, and he said.

Obviously, I don't take Xu Shu in my eyes.

"What the Governor said is very true, send an envoy to inquire about it. Xu Shu, an army of 45,000 people with floating hearts, can play what kind of huā. Zhu Ran pulled a big voice and said with a smile.

"Huh." Zhu Ran's laughter infected everyone, and everyone smiled easily.

Yes, the seven counties of Hannam, which were originally positioned by Jiangdong as a ròu food and everyone can take a bite, are now left with anything.

Just grazing.

In a relaxed atmosphere, Luo Tong walked in.

Luo Tong is twenty-eight years old, a talent, and a good talent, and is one of Zhou Yu's staff.

"Meet the Grand Duke, generals." After Luo Tong entered the big tent, he saluted Zhou Yu and the generals present very respectfully.

"No courtesy." Zhou Yu raised his hand and said, and then said: "There is news from the southeast, Xu Shu raised troops to cross the river, since it is up and down the Jiangdong, they all think that the seven counties of Hannan are grass-eaters, and they are free ròu food, big meals, and Luo Tong is no exception. It's also a shock in my heart, but that's all.

Immediately, Luo Tong's face showed a confident smile, and he responded: "I am willing to persuade Xu Shu to surrender with a three-inch tongue." ”

is such an atmospheric Luo Tong, Zhou Yu only plans to send him to find out the news. But he wanted to persuade Xu Shu to come down.

Everyone present, including Zhou Yu, was amazed by Luo Tong's self-confidence. But in my heart, I shook my head slightly, my ability was good, and I was confident. But it's still too young.

Xu Shu is Liu Feng's teacher, and in terms of loyalty, I am afraid that he is even more out of order than Jiang Wan and Pang Tongdu. It is not so simple for such a person to be convinced.

However, Zhou Yu thought about it, now that Liu Feng is dead, the relationship between teachers and students is over, maybe Xu Shu's loyalty is wrong.

Perhaps, this Xu Shu may still think that Liu Feng's side is no longer reliable, and plans to lead the army north and defect to Jiangdong.

intends to join forces with him Zhou Yu and attack Jiangling.

Although this idea is a little unreliable, Zhou Yu has to admit that this idea is really exciting. If there is Xu Shu joining.

Then don't say it's Jiangling, even Xiangyang can be visited. Wancheng on the upper side is not without opportunities. and Liu Bei.

Thinking of Liu Bei, Zhou Yu's heart was tight, and he suddenly remembered that Xu Shu was under Liu Bei's account in the past and helped Liu Bei defeat Cao Ren.

If Xu Shu defected to Liu Bei, Liu Bei's strength would suddenly rise. That's a big problem.

Nervous, Zhou Yu immediately said to Luo Tong: "Gongxu is ambitious, I will order you to be the Sima in the army, go to Xu Shu's camp, and persuade Xu Shu to surrender." ”

"No." The young and vigorous Luo Tong was suddenly overjoyed and bowed down.

After a while, Xiongjiao walked out of the Chinese army's tent with high spirits.
