Jiujiang, Taishou Mansion.

Tai Shici sat above, and below sat Zhou Yu, Sun Yi, and Dong Xi.

Tai Shici said with a serious expression: "Wang Can's army has entered the territory of Jiujiang, and it will arrive in Jiujiang in a few days. The war is critical, what do you think, don't hesitate to speak. ”

Dong Xi hugged his fists and said: "General Taishi, Wang Can led the troops from Jiangxia, and there were seventy or eighty thousand soldiers in Jiangxia, passing through the two lines of Wuchang and Qichun, and constantly recruiting soldiers and expanding the army along the way, nearly 100,000 people. Although Jiujiang City is solid, it is difficult to stop Wang Can's 100,000 army, and Wang Can also has sharp weapons to help, we want to hold Jiujiang, quite suffering. ”

Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Dong Xi, what do you mean?" ”

Tai Shi Ci smiled and said: "Gong Jin, I called you today, just to ask everyone to speak freely, you let Dong Xi finish." ”

Sun Yi also said: "Dong Xi must be loyal to his father, why do you target Dong Xi everywhere, this is not good." ”

Dong Xi glanced at Tai Shici and Sun Yi gratefully, and continued: "If we have a hard confrontation with Wang Can, we must hit the stone with an egg and bring about our own destruction. I think we should take a strategic retreat, avoid Wang Can's edge, preserve our strength, and wait for the lord's army to arrive, and then fight Wang Can to the death. ”

"Smack!!"

Zhou Yu slapped the desk and shouted: "Dong Xi, are you Wang Can's person, or the lord's general?" A little Wang Can scares you so much that you don't dare to fight, is Wang Can so terrible? ”

Dong Xi immediately retorted: "Governor Zhou, what the last general stated is the truth, and it is absolutely impossible for us to stop Wang Can. ”

Tai Shici bowed slightly and agreed with Dong Xi's words.

With Wang Can's troops and Wang Can's sharp weapons, it is not difficult to capture Jiujiang.

Sun Yi looked up at Zhou Yu and was also a little unhappy. Zhou Yu targeted Dong Raid everywhere and thought that Dong Raid was suspicious, which was obviously a distrust of him, and did not take to heart what he said that Dong Raid was loyal to Sun Jian.

Zhou Yu looked at Dong Raid and shouted: "Dong Raid, what if the governor blocked Wang Can?" ”

At this moment, Zhou Yu is already an insider, and he has no reason as a bystander.

Sun Ce's death left Zhou Yu with the idea of revenge for Sun Ce in his heart, so Zhou Yu failed to listen to Dong Xi's words. Zhou Yu stared at Dong Raid and glared angrily, as if he was sure that Dong Raid would not dare to bet with him.

Moreover, Zhou Yu seems to have the self-confidence to keep Jiujiang.

Dong Xi shouted in a deep voice: "Governor Zhou, if you hold Jiujiang, you will obey your words, but if you have orders, you will never obey everything, please ask the third prince and General Taishi to testify on this matter." However, what if you don't hold Jiujiang, causing the army to fail to withdraw in time, and causing the army to suffer heavy losses? ”

Zhou Yu shouted: "If I fail, I should accept military justice." ”

Dong Xi looked at Tai Shi Ci and asked, "General Tai Shi, are you really ready to defend Jiujiang to the death?" ”

Tai Shi Ci persuaded and said: "Gong Jin, Wang Can led nearly 100,000 troops to pounce, and the momentum was violent. Once Jiujiang is fenced, it will definitely become an isolated city, and it is not wise to defend Jiujiang, and it is best to evacuate. ”

Sun Yi followed and said, "Gongjin, don't bet, withdraw." ”

Zhou Yu stood up suddenly and said loudly: "I said that if I can defend Jiujiang, I can defend Jiujiang." ”

Tai Shi Ci said with a straight face: "Gong Jin, you can't be willful at this time, and you shouldn't be rash. We all know your talent, you are full of strategy, you are proficient in marching and arranging, and we all know it. You are a handsome man in Jiangdong, and you have made countless achievements, but you can't be capricious. Wang Can's army rushed in, it was not a trivial matter. ”

Zhou Yu categorically flicked his sleeves and shouted: "Ziyi, I have made up my mind, I don't need to persuade again." ”

After a pause, Zhou Yu said: "Ziyi, since you are going to lead the army to leave, I will not stop you." You can leave with the army defending the city, and echo me outside the city of Jiujiang. ”

Tai Shi Ci persuaded again: "Jiujiang must become a lonely city, why bother!" ”

Zhou Yu waved his hand and motioned to Tai Shi Ci not to speak.

Tai Shi Ci pondered for a moment, sighed helplessly, and said: "I am the Taishou of Jiujiang County appointed by the lord, you have chosen to stay in Jiujiang, how can I evacuate?" Okay, I'll stay with Wang Can for a while, put life and death on the line, and gamble with you to see if we can support until the lord arrives. ”

Dong Xi's face was solemn, but a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

Sun Yi hurriedly said: "General Taishi, this is a matter of life and death, you have to think about it carefully." Father wants to fight Wang Can in a decisive battle, but it cannot be completed in a short time, and he must still be gathering soldiers now, and it is impossible to come immediately. Wang Can's army has already been killed, and after being surrounded in Jiujiang, he will put himself to death! ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Yi contemptuously and said: "Third son, if you are afraid, you can leave Jiujiang directly, it is still too late to leave, if it is too late, you can only stay." ”

Sun Yi shouted: "Zhou Yu, you ......"

Zhou Yu flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Tai Shi Ci said earnestly: "Third prince, it is indeed very dangerous to stay, if you want to leave Jiujiang, then leave early, and it will be really late when Wang Can comes." ”

Sun Yi said loudly: "Okay, I'll stay and fight with you." ”

Those who should have been evacuated were all stayed.

……

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!! ”

The sound of war drums resounded outside Jiujiang City, and the huge drums made the soldiers defending the city tense. Tai Shici, Zhou Yu, Dong Xi and Sun Yi stood on the city tower, looking at the black soldiers outside the city, their faces showed solemn expressions, and they all felt a huge pressure.

The momentum of the sky made everyone feel suffocated.

The soldiers defending the city were even more nervous.

Dong Xi said solemnly: "General Taishi, you see that the soldiers outside the city are all elite soldiers, and it is really not a wise decision for us to stay in Jiujiang, you may be wrong." ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "The matter has come to this, think about how to defend Jiujiang." ”

Outside the city, in the barracks.

Wang Can let out a low snort, rode his horse and whipped forward, stood in front of the military formation, looked at Tai Shi Ci and the others on the city tower, and shouted: "Tai Shi Ci, Jiujiang is besieged, and it is already a lonely city. You are trapped in Jiujiang, isolated and helpless, and if you continue to resist, you will only be able to kill and wound more soldiers, and in the end it is still impossible to hold Jiujiang. This king wants you to think about the people, for the soldiers, to open the city and surrender, and reduce the number of dead and wounded. ”

After hearing this, Tai Shici laughed.

He took a breath and shouted: "Wang Can, I will defend the city, if you can break the city, I will have nothing to say." If you want to win Jiujiang with just a few words, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Wang Can turned his eyes, looked at Sun Yi, and shouted: "Sun Yi, you and Dong Xi took the opportunity to escape, and they still stayed in Jiujiang, it really doesn't have a long memory." When this king breaks through Jiujiang City, he will arrest you again, and then he will detain you in a bird cage to see how you escape. ”

Sun Yi's face sank like water, and he was very unhappy.

Whoever is scarred will not be greeted with a smile.

Dong Xi stood next to Sun Yi, his face expressionless, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart.

Zhou Yu said in a low voice: "Ziyi, your archery skills are outstanding, if you aim at Wang Can, you will definitely be able to shoot Wang Can." I'll distract Wang Can, you quietly get ready, and then shoot an arrow and shoot Wang Can. ”

"Good!"

Tai Shici agreed, and took off the bow and arrow and the big bow from his waist without hurry, and wound the arrow.

Everything is quietly prepared.

Zhou Yu yelled: "Wang Can, with me, you don't want to break the city." Let me tell you, King Wu has gathered a large army and is rushing to Jiujiang to avenge Bo Fu. ”

Wang Can laughed and roared, "Sun Ce is here and was finally killed." Sun Jian came, and he was killed in the same way. Your stubborn stubbornness in defending Jiujiang is also a dead end. Zhou Yu, you are also a handsome man for a while, but it's a pity ......"

Just as Wang Can was speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.

In front of him, a bow and arrow shot out.

The arrow broke through the air, with a sharp whistling sound, turning into a black light and shooting towards Wang Can's chest.

"Ah!!!h

Wang Can screamed miserably and fell from his horse under his horse.

He fell to the ground, covering his chest with his hands, and a bow and arrow were stuck in his chest, which was shot by Tai Shici unexpectedly and hit Wang Can's chest impartially.
