Yueyang City.

The news of Guan Yu's attack on Fancheng in the north is certainly encouraging, but for Zhao Xu, it has little to do with him, and he doesn't know why Liu Yi sent that Wei Yue to replace his brother-in-law as the Yueyang Order.

However, last time, Liu Yi was willing to open up the net, Zhao Xu was already very grateful, and now Liu Yi has the right to dispatch the five counties of Jingnan again, and now he has let people take over his brother-in-law as the captain, although he is a little dissatisfied in his heart, but Zhao Xu does not dare to turn his face with Liu Yi at this time because of this kind of thing, and he doesn't even dare to say it.

Yesterday, my brother-in-law came to cry to himself, and he was obedient to Zhao Xu's fists and feet, and the depression in his heart was also a lot more relaxed, and he was refreshed early in the morning, and he felt that his soul was about to be sublimated.

Dongting Lake is foggy, the air is filled with thick fog, it seems that this will not disperse until the sun rises completely, Zhao Xu did not care too much, at this time of year, the frequency of fog on both sides of the Yangtze River is the most, and the entire Yueyang City is full of shadows in the fog, as if in a fairyland, which makes people feel refreshed.

It is said that since coming to Yueyang City, Zhao Xu feels that his body is much better than before.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! As soon as he stretched his waist, he saw a rather mellow young man running in and shouting at Zhao Xu.

"Call me Fujun!" Zhao Xu glared at this thing fiercely, this unproductive thing, yesterday he also asked himself to find Wei Yue's trouble, but Liu Yi was named to take over the position of captain, originally because of the previous incident, Zhao Xu was trembling during this time, and finally took advantage of the favor to expose this matter through Cui Zhouping's relationship, this unproductive thing came to provoke trouble again, I really don't understand, it was all born by a mother, his wife is virtuous, knowledgeable, why did his mother-in-law give birth to such a thing, didn't he give birth to his wife, Exhausted of all your potential?

"Brother-in-law!" The little wife and brother are as good as a stream, and bow down.

"Forget it, what's the matter?" Zhao Xu was a little out of temper by this kid, and he didn't bother to care about it anymore, so he asked directly.

"Then Wei Yue closed the eight gates early this morning, and our merchant ships outside the city couldn't enter." The younger brother-in-law complained: "Brother-in-law's mansion is ......"

"You might as well call me brother-in-law." Zhao Xu had a headache when he heard it: "Why did he close the city gate?" ”

"How do I know?" The younger brother-in-law shook his head and said, "Don't you want to target us, block our merchant ships out of the city, and cause us to lose money." ”

Saying that, the little wife and brother were a little angry, this is all money, as soon as the gate of Yueyang City is closed, how much less do they have to earn a day?

"Ridiculous!" Zhao Xu snorted coldly.

"Yes." The little brother-in-law nodded, and then echoed: "Then Wei Yue is clearly aimed at us!" ”

"I'm talking about you!" Zhao Xu looked at this little wife and brother with some hatred, and scolded: "If he is really targeting my Zhao family, he only needs to detain our ship, why do you need to close the city gate?" ”

Zhao Xu looked at his brother-in-law as if he was mentally retarded, closing the city gate without authorization can be big or small, I will investigate it, and say that you can find a reason for rebellion, not to mention that Wei Yue and himself have no deep hatred, even if he really wants to deal with himself, he can't come up with such a bad idea, if his political enemies are like his brother-in-law, how beautiful should the world be?

Sighing, Zhao Xu put aside this unrealistic thought, walked out of the door and said, "I'll ask him." ”

"Brother-in-law, if Wei Yue has bad intentions and harms his brother-in-law's life, then it's ......"

"Smack~" Zhao Xu didn't bother to explain, and turned around and slapped his brother-in-law in the face: "Get out!" ”

Wei Yue has the power of the army, he really wants to harm himself, in this Yueyang City, there is nowhere to hide, I really don't know what this thing is thinking all day long.

Walking out of the mansion, Zhao Xu shook his palm, not to mention, although his hand hurts, it feels really good.

Although it was reduced to a county, Liu Yi basically didn't care about things on weekdays, and the affairs of the entire Yueyang County were still handled by Zhao Xu, and therefore, Zhao Xu knew very well how much the blockade of the city gate would cause to Yueyang, as a hub for communicating Jingnan and Jingbei, coupled with the rich goods provided by the fishing towns, Yueyang occupies a pivotal position in the entire Jingzhou in terms of economy.

At this time, blocking the city gate for no reason caused a lot of damage to Yueyang.

All the way to the city wall, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a dignified breath, the soldiers at the head of the city were running back and forth, carrying rolling wood and stones, bundles of bows and arrows were also dismantled and placed around, the broken crossbow that few people moved was being debugged at the moment, and an atmosphere of imminent war permeated, making Zhao Xu's heart nervous.

"General Wei, why did you suddenly block the city gate?" Zhao Xu found Wei Yue and asked with a frown, he saw that there were many merchant ships cruising under the city, and many of the merchants on the ship were scolding and scolding, the fog was too heavy to see clearly.

"There may be Jiangdong soldiers and horses outside the city." Wei Yue was concise and to the point, in fact, when Liu Yi sent him, he asked Wei Yue to pay attention to the foggy sky, once the fog started, it was best to directly block the city gate, and wait until the fog cleared before opening the city gate.

The crossing of the river in white may not happen, and even if it happens, it should not happen in Yueyang, but Liu Yi thinks that this strategy is actually useful for the cities along the river, and it is not a big mistake to be careful in extraordinary times.

Wei Yue was naturally quite convinced of Liu Yi, and when he got up early this morning, he saw that the fog was misty, and Wei Yue hurriedly ordered the sergeants who wanted to open the city gate not to open the city, and the whole city was on guard.

Even if there are no Jiangdong soldiers and horses, they can't be opened, at most, after the fog clears, it is not too late to make sure that there is no foreign enemy to attack.

"Jiangdong Army?" Zhao Xu's eyelids jumped, and then he frowned and looked at Wei Yue: "How does the general know?" ”

This foggy sky, looking down the city from here, he could only see vague ships moving, far away, that is, white and expansive, he was very curious, how did Wei Yue determine that there were Jiangdong soldiers and horses?

"Bo Yuan said." Wei Yue looked back at Zhao Xu, the war between Jiangling and the public security had not started at this time, and the invasion of Jiangdong was naturally unknown.

"Uh......" Zhao Xu was a little speechless.

Wei Yue was busy with the things in hand, then he looked at Zhao Xu and explained seriously: "General Guan has broken through Fancheng, and the military advisor and Bo Yuan are worried that Jiangdong will take advantage of the situation at this time, so that we can be on guard as soon as possible, and there is no big mistake in being careful, and this kind of weather is the most easy to sneak attack, wait for a while The fog will disperse, if there are no Jiangdong soldiers and horses, it will not be too late to open the city gate." ”

"The general laughed, Jiangdong and I are allies, how could they attack at such a time?" Zhao Xu shook his head and smiled.

"Bo Yuan once told me that the so-called allies are those that cannot be annexed for the time being, and there are stronger enemies, and the friends that have to be made can not be trusted." Wei Yue said indifferently, the relationship between allies and enemies in this world is actually not fixed, in fact, if it comes to the estrangement of relatives recently, Sun Quan and Cao Cao are still relatives, everyone is temporarily joining forces for interests, but it does not mean that they will not turn their faces, just look at whether the timing is appropriate.

"Tinghou's opinion...... Quite unique. When Zhao Xu heard this, he laughed dryly twice, and said to Wei Yue: "In this case, is there something that needs to be done by this official?" ”

"Not for now." Shaking his head, Wei Yue politely refused, Liu Yi explained to him that at this time, the military power must not be let go, whether it is his own person or not, Liu Yi believes only Wei Yue at this time.

Zhao Xu is also a human spirit, so he naturally heard the meaning of vigilance in Wei Yue's words, and his brows couldn't help frowning, is the situation really so grim?

Looking at Wei Yue's side again, more than a dozen guards, their hands pressed on the handle of the knife, and their eyes glanced over to this side intentionally or unintentionally.

I hadn't paid attention to it before, but after sensing Wei Yue's vigilance at this moment, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a chill down his spine, these people, do they even have to be on guard against the people in the city? Reluctantly squeezed out a smile, arched his hand at Wei Yue and said, "Xia Guan remembered that there were still many official affairs in the government office that had not yet been handled, so he left first!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, and took the elevator to the city, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, wipe his forehead, and sweat coldly in his hand.

This is going to be a big incident, so I'd better go back to the government office first, it's safer there.

……

"Governor, the guard doesn't want to open the door!" Outside the city, Gan Ning walked quickly to Lu Meng and bowed to Lu Meng.

Lu Meng frowned, looked up at the majestic city wall shrouded in mist, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression, such a city, if you can't open the city gate, if you want to break through such a strong city, Lu Meng feels that it is more troublesome than breaking through Jiangling.

"I heard that a few days ago, this Yueyang City suddenly changed guards." Lu Meng frowned and said, he has always paid more attention to the information here, not only that, but the fishing village has also built a city wall in the past three months, all of which seem to be on guard.

"Isn't it that someone in the Jingzhou army has already sensed that our army wants to capture Jingzhou?" Gan Ning asked the question that Lu Meng was most worried about.

Lu Meng didn't speak, looked at the fog that had begun to fade, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through this city today, I'll go to the fishing village first, or we can draw out Yueyang's soldiers and horses!" ”

It is difficult to attack the city, the most important thing is that the city is too strong, even if Lu Meng now brings 20,000 Jiangdong elites, he is still not sure that he can storm Yueyang, just the height of the city wall, the arrows shot by the archers, the power will be greatly reduced, it is better to lead the other party out of the city to fight, if you can completely annihilate the enemy outside the city, it will be much easier to attack the city.

Even if the other party is not fooled, but Yueyang's city wall is only about three zhang, far from being as strong as Yueyang, if Yueyang guards do not come to the rescue, then they will take advantage of the situation to capture the fishing village, if you can take this place into control, wait for the public security, Jiangling, Yueyang is a lonely city.

"Whoa!" Gan Ning agreed and was about to give an order, but was stopped by Lu Meng.

"Don't worry, it's not too late to leave when the fog clears."

"Whoa!"
