Chapter 2164: Zhou Yu's Assassination (I) (Page 1/1)

Become the courtiers of the revitalization of the Han Dynasty, they don't want to miss it, as for overthrowing the current rule of the Han Dynasty and re-establishing a new court, the family will not support it for the time being, they don't want to give up their interests, once the dynasty is changed and the strength of the family is not enough to affect the monarch, the loss of the family will be greater.

The princes' attitude towards the family is different, it determines what kind of mind the family will have, the family under the rule of Lu Bu most wants is to be able to let the children of the family have a greater role in the officialdom or the army, so that the influence of the family is greater, the family is more towards the road of business development, in Chang'an, there are a lot of business opportunities, with the strength of the family, as long as you choose to do business, you can have a lot of development in a short period of time, the family has enough capital, which allows them to go further on the road of business.

The reason why Cao Cao was jealous of Lu Bu was precisely because of the cohesion under Lu Bu's rule, and now he has Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou Shouchun and Jingzhou in his hands, but the officials under his rule are not so pure, mainly because the influence of the family is too great, and Cao Cao cannot ignore the influence of the family like Lu Bu.

Against the family, only Lu Bu did such a thing, the other princes appeased the family more often, and the influence of the family could change the status quo under the rule, if Cao Cao and Lu Bu had the same choice, the war in Jingzhou would no longer have to be carried out.

Lu Bu's strength made the family feel urgent, and with the expansion of the army under Lu Bu, the family's living space will be greatly compressed, which makes the family feel urgent.

"My lord, if the assassin can't succeed, it will lead to Zhou Yu's revenge." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Is Benhou still worried that Zhou Yu'er's revenge will not succeed, Zhuge Liang had the name of Wolong in the world, but he was not defeated by Benhou on the battlefield of Jingzhou, and he has repeatedly failed on the battlefield of Yizhou." ”

Xun You nodded slightly, these so-called wise people, even if they became famous at a young age, if they can't be tempered on the battlefield, it is still very difficult to make a difference.

Any strategist, it does not mean that they can have such an ability after learning, they need to respond in a timely manner according to the situation on the battlefield, just as if they can't handle the situation on the battlefield well, it will bring failure, Zhuge Liang is a good illustration.

Late at night, in Xiling City, the Chinese army's tent is still brightly lit, Cao's army continued to attack the city for half a month, so that the Jiangdong army paid a lot of price, in the face of Cao's thunderbolt attack, the Jiangdong army can only be in a passive defensive situation, this situation is extremely unfavorable for the Jiangdong army.

However, what Zhou Yu needs is to be safe, on the battlefield of Jingzhou, the Jiangdong Army has experienced a crushing defeat, and the city that originally belonged to the Jiangdong Army has now fallen into the hands of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is not Liu Bei can compare, want to seize control of Jingzhou from Cao Cao's hands, there is a great difficulty, the battle between the princes, has gradually become clear, Liu Bei's defeat is inevitable in Zhou Yu's view, if the Jiangdong army can not get enough benefits in this campaign, the Jiangdong army will be the weakest side among the princes, the existence of kneading by others, this situation is not what Zhou Yu wants to see, he and Sun Ce are brothers, for Jiangdong, even if it is to die on the battlefield, in Zhou Yu's view, it is not hesitating.

"Now the Cao army's attack on Xiling is in the midst of a fierce attack, what the generals need to do is to defend the city when the Cao army is attacking the city, and strictly prevent the small people in the city from taking the opportunity to make trouble, and the three counties of Jingnan fell into the hands of Cao Cao because of the betrayal of the family." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

Although the generals in the army were a little puzzled by such an order, they did not dare to disobey Zhou Yu's order, Zhou Yu had absolute prestige in the army, and now he was the commander in the army.

"Governor, Cao's army is attacking the city fiercely, although the losses of our army are not much, but the morale of the soldiers in the army is low, and if the war continues like this, it will be even more disadvantageous for our army." Lu Su said.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "You don't need to be anxious, the Cao army is more anxious than the Jiangdong army, there is news from Yizhou, Liu Bei led the Yizhou army and the Chang'an army to fight a decisive battle, 50,000 elites were lost, and there were only a few dozen people who followed Liu Bei back to Chengdu City. ”

Although the generals in the army rarely consider such things, Zhou Yu's words are still very reasonable, no matter what, what the Jiangdong Army needs is victory, and only a victory can wash away the shame of the Jiangdong Army on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu didn't want to send a large army out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Cao army, but through the siege of the Cao army during this time, it can be seen that the Cao army is extremely tight in defense, even when it is in the siege, the cavalry in the army is in a state of defense, and although the Jiangdong army has a certain strength in the cavalry, there is still a big gap compared with the cavalry of the Cao army, which can be seen from the previous battle between the cavalry of the two sides.

The existence of Cao's cavalry is the greatest deterrent to the Jiangdong Army, otherwise Zhou Yu would have ordered the soldiers in the army to go out of the city and burn the enemy's thunderbolts.

During the siege of the city by Cao's army, Zhou Yu did not expect this kind of thunderbolt that could reach 400 paces in range, which completely suppressed the defenders, if it were not for the competitive relationship between Lü Bu and Cao Cao, Zhou Yu even suspected that Lü Bu gave Cao Cao the method of building a giant thunderbolt.

"Dudu, if our army is defeated from the battlefield of Jingzhou, Cao Cao will sit big, why doesn't the King of Jin send a large army to contain Cao Cao at this time, there are still tens of thousands of troops near Chang'an, as long as the Chang'an army makes a slight gesture, it can contain more strength of Cao's army." Lu Su wondered.

Zhou Yu said: "The king of Jin is plotting Yizhou, and wants to defeat Liu Bei completely, before completely occupying Yizhou, the king of Jin will definitely not send a large army to contain the Cao army, if it attracts Cao Cao's jealousy, and then sends troops to attack Qingzhou or Hanoi, it will inevitably shake Chang'an, and what the king of Jin needs at this time is stability." ”

The generals in the army nodded their heads when they heard this, Zhou Yu's analysis of the situation on the battlefield made them feel very reasonable, and many generals in the army even hoped that Lu Bu would be able to pacify Yizhou as soon as possible, so that it would be difficult for Cao Jun to make greater achievements on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

After discussing the matter of defense, the generals of the various departments left one after another, but Zhou Yu left Lu Su behind, the situation in the Jiangdong army was indeed not optimistic, and Jiangdong attached great importance to the war in Jiangxia.
