"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!!"

"Get out of the way, I'm a messenger sent by the Dantu camp, get out of the way quickly!!"

"Get out of the way, I'm a messenger from the Dantu camp, I have something urgent to inform General Zhou, get out of the way quickly!!"

……

Just when Zhou Yu was doubting in his heart, there was a sudden impatient noise outside the tent, and there was a faint sound of hurried horses' hooves. Zhou Yu had already issued three orders that if there was nothing important, there would be no horses in the camp, and if anyone dared to violate this order, he would be severely punished!!

Zhou Yu was already in a sore chest and unhappy, but after hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, he suddenly became even more irritable, and shouted coldly: "Who is running horses in the camp and bringing people to me quickly, and dares to disobey my military orders so blatantly, I want to see who is behind him!! ”

"No!"

Zhou Yu's personal guard hurriedly bowed down and promised, went to bring the horse runner in the camp over, and said: "Return to the general, the person has been brought, the person who came is not my Wuhu battalion sergeant, he claimed to have been ordered by General Tai Shici to come to deliver a letter to the general, and there is a big matter to pass to the general." ”

Zhou Yu looked up and saw that the person who came was indeed not wearing the armor of the navy, but the armor of the infantry army, and the displeasure in his heart eased a lot, and said, "What is the important matter for General Ziyi to let you come to my Wuhu camp?" Why did General Ziyi send a letter to come, instead of the lord sending someone to deliver the letter, could it be that something happened to the Dantu camp? ”

Before he came, the sergeant had been instructed by Tai Shici to tell Zhou Yu about Sun Ce's assassination alone, so as not to cause turmoil, and as for what happened after that, it was up to Zhou Yu's own decision.

The sergeant arched his hand and replied: "General, this matter is very important, please ask the general to step back!" ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard the sergeant's words, but he could also think that this matter should be instructed by Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci is cautious, since he arranged it like this, then there must be a reason why he had to do it, Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Zi Ming (Lu Meng's character) stays, and the rest of the people retreat first." ”

"No, I'll take the order!"

Everyone bowed and retreated, Zhou Yu glanced at the sergeant and said, "Ziming is my confidant, what can you say now." ”

The sergeant also knew that Zhou Yu was very concerned about Lu Meng, and it could be said that he was half of Lu Meng's teacher, and when he heard this, he took out the letter from Tai Shici from his arms, and replied: "My general's letter again, please check it out with the general." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, and asked Lu Meng to take the letter, Lu Meng stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Zhou Yu, and the sergeant continued: "When the lord went out of the camp to hunt, he was ambushed by assassins, and unfortunately he was assassinated. ”

When Lu Meng heard the news of Sun Ce's death, he was immediately shocked: "What? The lord was assassinated? What's going on? ”

The sergeant hurriedly told Lu Meng in detail about how Sun Ce was ambushed and when he died, Zhou Yu also read the letter from Tai Shici to him at this time, and knew that Huang Gai and others supported Sun Quan to compete with Sun Shao for the position of Wu Hou, Zhou Yu learned the whole story from Tai Shici's letter, glanced at the embarrassed sergeant, and said: "I already know about this matter, you came to the Wuhu camp overnight, you must have been very tired, you go down to eat some wine and meat first, and when I return to the Dantu camp, you are returning with me." ”

"The assassination of the lord is very important, you should not tell anyone about it first, if there is any violation of the order, I will severely punish it!!

The sergeant hurriedly bowed down and responded: "Don't worry, general, the villain is awake, and he will not talk to anyone about this!" ”

Zhou Yu waved his hand to order the sergeant to retreat, and asked the guards to take him down to rest first, and after the sergeants retreated, Zhou Yu handed the letter in his hand to Lu Meng and said, "You have read Ziyi's letter first, and then we will talk about this matter in detail." ”

"No!"

Lu Meng was already impatient in his heart, so he hurriedly bowed down and agreed, took the letter handed over by Zhou Yu, and hurriedly checked it.

Although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are named as the main ministers, they are like brothers, otherwise he and Sun Ce would not marry Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao together, Zhou Yu thought about Sun Ce's heroic appearance when they first met, and when they fought in Jiangdong together, Sun Ce's courtesy to him was full of emotion, Lord Lord, Lord Lord, we all said that we would fight together in the future to create a great cause in the world, why are you just leaving? What should I do when you're gone?

……

Just when Zhou Yu sighed, Lu Meng finally finished reading Tai Shici's letter, he knew that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had a deep relationship, and now that Sun Ce had died unexpectedly, Zhou Yu must have been in great pain in his heart.

Lu Meng put the letter in his hand back on the table, bowed his hand, and said: "People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn the general's day!" Now that the lord has fallen, the more important thing is to keep the foundation left by the lord, the general is the pillar of my Jiangdong, if there is no general to lead the army, my Jiangdong land will be annexed by Yuan Yao, and please cheer up the general, only in this way can we live up to the trust of the lord! ”

Zhou Yu also knew that he could only do this, he Jiangdong had already torn his face with the three counties of Lujiang, if Yuan Yao knew about Sun Ce's death and their internal discord in Jiangdong, Yuan Yao would definitely raise a large army to attack Jiangdong, and all he could do now was to set the position of Wu Hou as soon as possible and help Sun Ce keep the foundation he left behind.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "You have also read Ziyi's letter, what do you think in your heart?" ”

Lu Meng knew that Zhou Yu was inspecting him, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "General Hui, the last general believes that the most important thing at this time is to determine the position of Wu Hou as soon as possible, the military strength of the three counties of Lujiang is basically the same as the combat power of my Jiangdong soldiers and horses; Before the Battle of Guangling, the combat power of our Jiangdong soldiers and horses was slightly stronger than the three counties of Lujiang; After the Battle of Guangling, the loss of our Jiangdong Army frustrated the morale of the army, and the combat strength of the soldiers and horses was basically the same as that of the three counties of Lujiang; Now that the lord has been assassinated, the second prince and Shao Gongzi are competing for the position of Wu Hou, my Jiangdong is not only civil and military, but the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Dantu battalion have also been divided, and at this time, the combat power of my Jiangdong soldiers and horses will be weaker than the three counties of Lujiang. ”

"If we can't set the position of Wu Hou as soon as possible and integrate our Jiangdong internally, once Yuan Yao raises troops to conquer, my Jiangdong armies will fight alone, and they will definitely not be Yuan Yao's opponents, only a complete Jiangdong can withstand the attack of Yuan Yao's army!"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, and said: "You can see the key point of this, and even if you live up to my many teachings, I will be able to put these 50,000 sailors into your hands with peace of mind!" ”

When Lu Meng heard Zhou Yu's words, he was slightly stunned and said: "The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Dantu camp are about to split, and the general can only deter the Dantu army by commanding the 50,000 troops to Dantu, isn't the general ready to bring this five-water army to Dantu?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, and said: "These 50,000 sailors are my Jiangdong barrier, with these 50,000 sailors stationed in Wuhu, Yuan Yao can still be afraid of some who dare not use troops without authorization, if I take these 50,000 soldiers and horses away, Yuan Yao will immediately raise troops to attack my Jiangdong after learning of the death of the lord, and it will be difficult to protect Danyang County at that time." Danyang County is the barrier and hub of my Jiangdong, if Danyang County is lost, Yuzhang County will become an enclave, and Yuan Yao's troops and horses can also send troops to attack the remaining three counties of my Jiangdong at any time, so it will be extremely unfavorable to my Jiangdong! ”

"Moreover, I returned to Dantu to deal with the aftermath of the lord, without the lord's general order, I must not transfer the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Wuhu camp without authorization, otherwise it will give people with other ambitions an excuse to transfer troops without authorization, which will only deepen the chaos within my Jiangdong, these 50,000 soldiers and horses I can never bring to Dantu, among the generals in Wuhu, only you have the ability to command the 50,000 army, and I will leave the camp to go to Dantu later, I hope you will not live up to my trust!"

Seeing that Zhou Yu had made up his mind, Lu Meng could only bow down and respond: "The general can rest assured that the last general will not live up to the general's trust, as long as I, Lu Meng, am still in Wuhu, I will not let Yuan Yao enter Danyang County!! ”

Zhou Yu thought about it and was still a little uneasy, and instructed again, "You have to remember that these 50,000 sailors are the foundation of my Jiangdong, no matter what decision you make, you must be careful!" After I leave, you send a letter to Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, telling them to be careful with Yue Fei and Gan Ning's troops in Chaisangnei. ”

"No, the last general will be ordered !!"

"Alright, let's beat the drums and gather the generals."

……

"Knock knock!! Knock knock knock!! Knock knock knock!! ……”

With the rapid sound of war drums, the generals of Wuhu gathered into Zhou Yu's tent, the 50,000 sailors of the Wuhu battalion were basically trained by Zhou Yu alone, and all the soldiers had great trust in Zhou Yu, after listening to Sun Ce's death and Zhou Yu's order to temporarily entrust the 50,000 sailors to Lu Meng, the generals bowed down one after another, and no one dared to disobey Zhou Yu's orders!

After Zhou Yu entrusted the 50,000 naval army to Lü Meng, he led 300 guards to leave the Wuhu camp and flew straight through Danyang County in the direction of the Dantu camp.

After Zhou Yu left the Wuhu camp, according to Lü Meng's suggestion, in order to prevent someone from assassinating Sun Ce like he did, Zhou Yu asked one of his guards to put on his armor and lead two hundred iron cavalry first, and he wore the clothes and armor of an ordinary sergeant and led one hundred personal guards to ride behind.

Three hundred iron cavalry is divided into two parts, fast horses and whips of the starry night rush, after the gallop in the middle of the night, Zhou Yu and others finally arrived near Danyang City, ambushed around the Jinyi guard dead soldiers thought that the stand-in was really Zhou Yu, immediately launched an attack, just when the two sides fought fiercely, Zhou Yu led the remaining one hundred fine cavalry to kill, Jinyi Wei suffered heavy casualties, and finally let Zhou Yu escape!
