Chapter 922: News Brought by Zhou Yu
In the next two days, the generals of Sakuragawa City, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, and Guo Jia were busy, and the armies of each city arrived at Sakuragawa City one after another. There were hundreds of generals, millions of soldiers, and countless siege equipment and grain and grass.
After Zhuge Liang and Emperor Chu discussed, they distributed their armies on Beihai Island, Kyushu Island, and Honshu Island.
"Your Majesty, the people of Fusang have been killed, and Weichen and Lord Zhang discussed to transfer part of the people of Chu to the three islands, otherwise the land of the three islands, which stretches for thousands of miles, I am afraid that it will be completely barren."
Emperor Chu bowed his head slightly, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang's advice coincided with him, he wanted to give the people of Fusang a chance to survive, but when the Northern Wei army led by Tu Feijiu arrived, a large-scale riot broke out, and the Chu army suffered heavy losses.
In a fit of rage, Emperor Chu ordered all the people of Fusang to be killed, only those slaves who entered the Chu Palace and the generals' mansions were spared, and all the others died under the spears of the Chu army.
It's noon.
Han Zhiyun, Concubine Ling'er, Diao Chan, and Shangguan Bangning came to Yingchuan City, and Emperor Chu decided to lead the four daughters and Zhongqing to Ping'an City.
After Ping'an City, it became the palace where Emperor Chu temporarily lived, and in Yingchuan City, Yue Fei, Ran Min, and Huo Qubing gathered together to lead an army of 100,000 to prepare to set off.
Right now.
The scouts who went out of the city to find Zhou Yu and Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen returned, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves kept approaching, and the scouts jumped off their horses and hurried forward.
Emperor Chu had just walked out of the General's Mansion with the four daughters, looked at the scouts who came forward, and asked, "Is there any news of General Zhou!" ”
"Back to the emperor, General Zhou, General Wang, General Pang, and General Huang are leading less than a thousand soldiers to rush back to Yingchuan City."
"Hmm"
"God bless Wu Chu, Gong Jin and they escaped from the dead, it is really my luck!"
Although the four generals of Zhou Yu were defeated, Emperor Chu did not blame them at all, the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were strong, and they were able to escape from death, which was considered a great achievement for them.
"Yue Fei, Ran Min listened to the order, ordered the army to return to the barracks, and went to Ping'an City tomorrow!"
At dusk.
As the sun set, the heavens and the earth slowly darkened, and before Zhou Yu and the others returned, Bai Qi and Luo Shixin were the first to arrive at Yingchuan City.
The two of them were ordered to go to the Eastern Wu Empire, as Emperor Chu guessed, after Bai Qi and Luo Shixin met with Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the two successfully persuaded Sun Jian to send troops, and the Eastern Wu army under the leadership of Sun Ce, Tai Shici, and Lu Su attacked the city, drove straight in, and captured four cities in the Northern Wei Dynasty one after another.
The Jiangdu Empire, the Northern Yan Empire, and the Western Chen Empire were the closest to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the three empires that were closest to the Northern Wei Dynasty launched attacks on the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Bai Qi and Luo Shixin added fuel to the fire, and it was a great achievement to let the Eastern Wu Empire join it, and now that the two of them have returned to their lives, Emperor Chu's face is full of excitement.
Regardless of what Cao Cao gained on Beihai Island, at least the heavy damage inflicted on the Northern Wei by the Four Kingdoms and various forces this time allowed Cao Cao to lie dormant for a while. He just took this opportunity to accomplish the great things that he had already planned in his heart.
Outside the General's Mansion, at the beginning of the night, a rumbling horse's hooves sounded, breaking the tranquility of the night sky, Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong, Wang Yanzhang, Pang De, the four generals and Yan Yun Eighteen rode back.
Everyone dismounted, held the broadsword at their waist, and walked quickly to the house, sleeping in the open for several days, running for a long time, everyone was slightly tired, and looked a little embarrassed.
After entering the general's mansion, everyone strode to the conference hall, and saw Emperor Chu sitting in the top position, kneeling on the ground one after another, with a look of self-reproach on their cheeks.
"The sinner greets the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Emperor Chu suddenly rose up, quickly stepped forward and raised his hand to help the four of them up, and the majestic voice spread.
"The four generals have suffered, sit down quickly, and tell me where you are these days?"
Zhou Yu and the four of them didn't expect Emperor Chu to blame them, so they were sincerely afraid, and they knelt on the ground to thank them, got up and walked to the wooden couch on the side.
"Your Majesty, this defeat was fortunately rescued by the Yanyun Knight, and the four of us escaped from the Ghost Gate."
"If you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, and we have our own arrangements in the dark, we escaped from Sakuragawa Castle and headed east. Five days ago, I wanted to bypass Sakuragawa Castle and join the Wuchu army, but I accidentally found traces of the withdrawal of the Northern Wei army. ”
"Following them all the way, I finally knew why they were attacking the six cities at the same time on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, like soldiers descending from heaven."
Zhou Yu said out loud, Emperor Chu and the generals in the council hall were all puzzled, and their eyes converged on him.
"Your Majesty, the three lonely peaks in the east outside Xiaoshan City originally had hidden mysteries, and there were docks near the sea area, but they were extremely secretive, and I am afraid that the people who have lived on Beihai Island for many years have not known about it."
"The last general and three other generals captured a Northern Wei soldier, and he learned that it was Tufei Dove who led them from this unknown pier to Beihai Island."
"In addition, a large underground stone chamber was found near the wharf, in which grain, grass, baggage, military equipment, and armor were stored. When the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty left, they did not destroy the underground stone chamber, as if they intended to keep it. ”
"I see!"
"It's this wharf hidden in the Gufeng Mountain, which cost me the lives of nearly 100,000 soldiers."
"Thanks to Gong Jin, you have successfully discovered it, otherwise it will cause a big disaster in the future, the reason why the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not destroy the underground stone chamber is because they will make a comeback, anyway, no one knows about the appearance of this dock, and they will use it again in the future."
Emperor Chu's expression was light and light, his eyes flickered, and his firm voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, the last general will send someone to destroy this dock and never suffer in the future."
Luo Shixin suddenly rose up, and a deep and powerful voice sounded, and Emperor Chu chuckled lightly and looked at him.
"Shixin must not be reckless, this dock must stay, with his presence, I can, and defeat the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty without much effort."
"My emperor is right, this pier is of great significance, the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty boast that only they know, I believe that they will return to Beihai soon, and then we can catch turtles in the urn and kill them by surprise."
Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook lightly and said loudly, the generals bowed their heads one after another, only Luo Shixin was still confused.
"Kong Ming, one day you and the ovary, Gong Jin will go to this dock to check and make a seamless plan, as long as the Northern Wei army dares to come again, I will not be able to walk out of the jungle under Gufeng Mountain."
"My emperor rest assured, tomorrow Weichen will go with Lord Zhang and General Zhou!"
Emperor Chu waved his hand and signaled the generals to retreat and rest early, leaving only Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang, and Guo Jia to discuss the next strategy for the use of troops by the Chu State.
Zhuge Liang proposed to send troops to attack the Jiangdu Empire, which was the weakest in the East China Sea, and Guo Jia proposed that the Northern Wei Empire should be sent to defeat the Northern Wei Empire while the Four Kingdoms were crusading against it, and it happened to defeat it completely in one fell swoop, while Zhang Liang suggested that the Chu Emperor rest and recuperate.
"Your Majesty, this land of cherry blossom county is thousands of miles away, the land is vast, and the resources are abundant, Wei Chen thinks that there is no need to fight now, and he should take the lead in mining and excavating the resources contained in the cherry blossom county."
Zhang Liang's suggestion really mentioned Emperor Chu's heart, oil, sulfur, and undersea treasures are all treasures that make Chu fly thousands of miles, how can Emperor Chu let it go.
He decided to let the Chu army recuperate for a period of time, and at the same time vigorously train the sailors, during which he mastered the methods of oil, sulfur extraction, and the underwater treasures near Zhoushan Island, which he still remembered in his heart.
