Chapter 431: Zhou Yu's Decision

Wait for Ma Liang to leave.

Qin Yin also began to rest.

After all, early tomorrow morning, we still need to step up our actions against Jiangxia, and taking down Jiangxia is the most important thing at present.

As for co-opting Ma Liang.

That is to do it easily, and Ma Liang has the ability, and he will not have too many thoughts, it is worth him to woo him, and he also has some consideration for Ma Liang's arrangement.

It is to let Ma Liang serve as the pastor of Jingzhou, which is also the most suitable place for Ma Liang to play, plus Ma Liang is a native of Xiangyang Yicheng, and he also has a relatively good understanding of the situation in Jingzhou.

With Ma Liang's ability, he governs Jingzhou and is also the most suitable candidate.

Fighting with the army is not suitable for Ma Liang to display his talent.

......

Jiangxia City.

Now Zhou Yu and the others can't sleep all night.

"Governor, how's it going?" Lu Su frowned and asked.

Now the few of them are together, because they sent someone back to Jianye to ask Sun Quan for help, and they also had an answer.

Moreover, they knew that Qin Yin had already arrived at the Qin army's camp far outside the city today, and if nothing else, the war would start soon.

As far as they could see, after dawn, it was very likely that Qin Jun would make a move.

Now is such a stressful time.

How can they sleep peacefully?

Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Zhuge Jin also looked at Zhou Yu, their faces were not very good, and there was a trace of expectation in their eyes, wanting to hear some good news from Zhou Yu's mouth.

The eyes of the crowd.

Zhou Yu also noticed it, frowned and shook his head and sighed: "Only the word "stubbornly!" ”

As previously agreed.

He wrote a handwritten letter, and also sent his cronies back to Jianye, handed the letter to Sun Quan, and explained the stakes in the letter, asking Sun Quan to send troops and horses to come.

However.

Sun Quan didn't seem to understand at all, he didn't care about the stakes he said, and the words that came back were only stubborn.

Obviously, he planned to give up Jiang Xia and gave up on them.

As for what Sun Quan's plans are and what confidence he has, there is no way to know.

Hear Zhou Yu's words.

Lu Su and the others were also silent, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Before Zhuge Liang came to the city alone to ask for a meeting, and also talked about the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, they already had some guesses in their hearts, and before, there were already signs.

However, the situation is different.

They still have some expectations in their hearts, thinking that Sun Quan will have a view of the overall situation, will take care of the overall situation, and put some things down first.

Now it seems that they have thought too much, and Sun Quan obviously does not have such thoughts.

Just sending back the order to defend is already saying a lot.

If it was really foolproof to defend it, then they would not have the idea of asking Sun Quan for help, and they might also have the action of counterattacking and taking the opportunity to suppress the Qin army.

But now in front of Jiangxia City, there are 160,000 Qin troops, and the defenders in the city are only 50,000.

How long can you hold on?

"So, Governor, what should we do now?" Zhuge Jin asked.

Sun Quan refused to send reinforcements, so they needed to make some changes to the current situation, and they also needed to make some choices.

After all, backup is not reliable.

Zhuge Jin's words.

It also made Lu Su and the others come back to their senses, and they all looked at Zhou Yu, waiting for Zhou Yu's decision.

Glancing at the crowd.

Zhou Yu said firmly: "Hold on!" If you have other ideas, you can also leave while the Qin army is not besieging the city now, and I will stay in the city until the last moment! ”

The tone is also very firm.

He hasn't changed his previous decision, and he's always done the same.

As for writing a handwritten letter and asking Sun Quan to send reinforcements, it was only the suggestion of Lu Su and others before, and at that time, he had never expected anything from Sun Quan.

After all, today's Jiangdong is no longer the Jiangdong that he established with Sun Ce.

The most important point.

That is, he felt that Sun Quan didn't care that Jiang Xia fell into the hands of Qin Jun, he was just guessing before, but now he could really confirm it.

What puzzled him was what kind of confidence Sun Quan had?

Although the current Jiangdong is no longer the Jiangdong he is familiar with, he will not abandon it because of this, and will continue to guard Jiangdong for a promise.

This is Sun Ce, and it is also his dream.

Even if you know you can't do it.

But.

Lu Su and the others are different from him, even if he is the governor, he has no right to force Lu Su and the others, how to choose, that is Lu Su's own business.

Even if there are different opinions.

He wouldn't have anything to say.

Hear the words.

Lu Su, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Zhuge Jin also looked at each other, with a helpless look on their faces, and then said in unison: "I am willing to defend Jiangxia with the governor until the last moment!" ”

Why Sun Quan is like this, they have some understanding, but they also have puzzlement.

But for Zhou Yu's decision.

But they know it very well.

And they can make a different choice from Zhou Yu, even if they return to Jianye, they also have a certain status, but they no longer have that kind of thought.

Especially Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, they can be regarded as assisting the three members of the Sun family, from Sun Jian to Sun Quan today.

The old minister of the old ministers.

Until now.

There is no need to go on either.

Moreover, Zhou Yu's choice is also very much in line with their thoughts.

They didn't know what Sun Quan's plans were, but they could know that if Jiangxia fell into the hands of the Qin army, then the Qin army would be able to drive straight into the land of Jiangdong.

Wave the army to Jiangdong without any scruples.

This is not what they want to see, although they don't know how long it can be delayed, and whether there will be any turnaround, but there are some things that they can't give up.

"Now that you have made a decision, let's go down and rest, I think that the Qin army will have a move soon, just follow the arrangements for defending the city that have been prepared before!" Zhou Yu said.

For the decision of Lu Su and others.

He wasn't surprised, if Lu Su and the others had other ideas, he would be surprised.

And Sun Quan refused to send soldiers and horses to come, so there was nothing to arrange, and when the Qin army set up a large camp in the distance outside the city, there were already certain arrangements.

There is no need to change anything now.

After all, just defending the city, you don't need to have too much planning, unless there is an opportunity to fight back.

But the opponent is too strong, but he doesn't feel any chance.

"No!"

Lu Su and others also responded.

Immediately, everyone also dispersed, they had already decided, knowing Sun Quan's reply, there was no point in continuing to discuss.
