Chapter 43: Re-angry Zhou Yu

"Ma Chao, Zhou Budo !!" Zhou Yu roared wildly with hatred.

Sun Ce's body had been fished up, and Ma Chao's silver spear was still stuck in the corpse.

The promise of the entire army of Wu was full of pathos and depression. The morale of the soldiers, after Sun Ce's death, plummeted.

"Governor, we..."

"Send someone to transport the body of the lord back to Wu County." Zhou Yu interrupted Lu Su's questioning, and continued to order with a murderous face: "Cheng Pu and Huang Gai listen to the order. ”

"The last general!"

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai are veterans who have been following Sun Ce, and when their own lord was killed, the anger and hatred in their hearts will naturally not be less.

"The two of you escorted the body of the lord back to Wu County, and arranged the affairs of the lord's funeral."

"Governor, we want to avenge the Lord!" Cheng Pu took a step forward and arched his hand, because of hatred, the facial features on his face were a little distorted.

"Confused!" Zhou Yu shouted in a deep voice: "The lord died suddenly in battle, and as a veteran of the lord's henchmen, the first task is to return to Wu and help the second prince ascend to the throne." ”

"My Wu State has lost one battle after another, and there have long been ill-intentioned families in the DPRK and China who are secretly making trouble, if we all stay on the front line, how can the second son be able to preside over the overall situation of the DPRK and China?"

When Cheng Pu and Huang Gai heard this, their faces looked guilty, and then they both clasped their fists and said, "We respect the military order." ”

"General Demou and General Gongfu are extremely prestigious in the court, and after returning to Wu County, no matter what means are used, they will let the second prince ascend to the throne." Zhou Yu continued with a solemn face: "You don't have to worry about the war in Xuzhou, Ben will be stationed in person again, and with the help of General Wen Xiang and General Zijing, he will definitely be able to block the army of Yanguo." ”

"As for Lu Xun and Lu Meng, who are stationed in Lujiang at this time, you don't have to worry, you and the others will be sure to let them support the second son's accession to the throne."

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai clasped their fists again and received the order with a solemn face. After the two came to their senses, they realized how important it was for Zhou Yu to send the two of them back to Wu County.

Zhou Yu forcibly suppressed the anger brought by the hatred in his heart, and directly retreated the army of Wu State to Xiapi State. In Xiapi, Liangcheng County (Liangcheng Village, Daizhuang Town, Pizhou City), Siwu County (in present-day Xinyi City, Jiangsu) and Quyang County (dozens of miles east of Shuyang County, Jiangsu) were stationed in Xiapi to guard against Zhou Budo and Ma Chao of Yanguo.

The army of Wu withdrew from Donghai County, and Zhou Budo and Ma Chaonaturally were not polite, and waved their troops south to occupy all Donghai County.

"Brother Wen, Zhou Yu really can bear it." Ma Chao knelt in front of Zhou Budo and said helplessly: "The hatred of the dead king, I can endure it without saying anything, and I will also persuade the generals of the Wu State to shrink the defense line and take the initiative to give up a county." ”

Zhou Budo nodded indifferently and chuckled: "If Zhou Yu can't bear it this time, I'm afraid he will be angry with me at this time." ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then recalled the grievances between Zhou Budo and Zhou Yu, and then nodded thoughtfully.

What Zhou Yu thinks, Ma Chao doesn't know, but Ma Chao feels that if he is played by such a boy who is not as good as the crown, he will definitely be so angry that the Five Buddhas will ascend to heaven.

"Brother Wen, what should I do next?"

Zhou Budo smiled lightly and said mysteriously: "Since Zhou Yu can bear it, he will just let him hold it all the time." ”

"Oh?" Ma Chao became interested and asked curiously, "How to hold back?" ”

"Sun Ce died in battle, then the first thing in the Wu court must be to establish a new monarch immediately. However, Sun Ce died suddenly, and without an edict, the court of Wu would definitely be full of disputes. ”

"At such an important time, Zhou Yu did not return to Wu State, but let the veteran general who followed the Sun family for two generations return to Wu State, why did General Meng Qi think Zhou Yu made such a decision?"

Ma Chao thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "First, I should think that no one under the command of Wu Guo can defeat the two of us." Second, after all, Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's most important person, if Zhou Yu is too arbitrary, I am afraid it will cause criticism. ”

"Yes, yes." Zhou Budo nodded in agreement and chuckled: "Since this is the case, the two of us will add fire to Zhou Yu." ”

"How do you add fire?"

"Peace!"

Zhou Budo curled the corners of his mouth strangely and continued: "I wonder if General Meng Qi dares to go to Liangcheng as an envoy to Wu State?" ”

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and he was puzzled.

"Brother Wen, there's no mistake. Ben would have killed their sovereign's people, and if Ben had gone to the camp of Wu State, I'm afraid..."

Zhou Budo chuckled and said: "General Meng Qi doesn't have to worry, going to Liangcheng under the slogan of peace talks, it doesn't mean that we really plan to talk about peace. ”

Well?! Ma Chao was even more puzzled.

"General Meng Qi, you want to. What would happen to the general if his enemy suddenly appeared in front of the general's camp, even if he came to the peace talks as an envoy of the enemy's army? Zhou Budo's strange expression made Ma Chao shudder.

"Even if it is an enemy envoy, the general will cut this person with a thousand knives."

Ma Chao subconsciously said his choice in a deep voice, and Zhou Budo smiled confidently: "Since the general is like this, how good can Zhou Yu be?" Even if Zhou Yu can endure it, what will happen to the soldiers of Wu State? ”

"If it can't arouse the anger of the Wu army, this plan can also greatly reduce the morale of the Wu army; If it can arouse the anger of the enemy army, it may lead Zhou Yu to battle. If Zhou Yu fights, there is no need to be defeated, only humiliation is immediate. ”

Zhou Budo chuckled and said: "Thinking about it, even if you can bend and stretch a person, you may be more afraid that you will be angry." ”

Ma Chao was suddenly surprised when he heard this: "As long as Zhou Yu messes up and the two of us capture Xuzhou, it will be a reversal." ”

Zhou Budo didn't answer, picked up the teacup in front of him, and pecked lightly.

The next day, Ma Chaoyi was bold, rode a war horse alone, and came to the city of Liangcheng.

"Is the commander of Wu in the city available?"

"And who?"

Xu Sheng, the general on the city wall, shouted at Ma Chao, who he had never seen under the city wall, and frowned slightly.

"Ma Chao, the commander of the Eastern Army of the Yan Kingdom, is also."

"Ma Chao!" When Xu Sheng heard this, he was furious, regardless of the three seven twenty-one and shouted: "The archer listens to the order, release the arrow!" ”

In the blink of an eye, arrows rained down from the walls. Although it had been expected, the reaction of the soldiers of Wu made Ma Chao angry in his heart.

"The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, the country of Erwu will only have such a belly." Ma Chao shouted angrily while blocking the arrows that kept flying: "Besides, this time, the general came to the peace talks with good intentions." ”

"Stop!" Xu Sheng exclaimed, looked at Ma Chao several times with a cloudy face, and then ordered the guards to find Zhou Yu up.

After a while, Zhou Yu came to the city wall.

"Under the city, is it Ma Chao, the general of the Yan Kingdom?"

"Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi have seen Zhou Dudu." Ma Chao clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

"Yan Wang Xiang Ao really wants peace talks?" Zhou Yu frowned, his face full of doubts.

"I really want peace talks."

"What are the conditions?"

"Since it was Wu Yanguo who proposed peace talks, there are naturally no conditions." Ma Chao said loudly: "My lord Yan King, for the time being, I can't look down on the land of Yangzhou projectiles. ”

"Arrogance!" Zhou Yu shouted angrily: "Does King Yan really regard the heroes of the world as nothing? ”

"Huh!" Ma Chao also said disdainfully: "Then General Zhou Yu thinks, if today, who else is the opponent of my Yan Kingdom?" ”

"Since King Yan is so confident, he can just wave his army south, why do you need peace talks?"

Zhou Yu just wanted to provoke Ma Chao so that Zhou Yu could see the true meaning of Ma Chao's coming. Zhou Yu's heart was struggling at this time.

Seeing that the enemy who killed his lord was in front of him, Zhou Yu wanted to draw his bow with an arrow and shoot this person under the city wall. It's a pity that Ma Chao's bravery made Zhou Yu not have the slightest certainty.

"Hahaha..."Ma Chao laughed loudly and said arrogantly: "My lord King Yan and the former General Sun Jian are also brothers in life and death. The son of a brother died on the battlefield, and as an uncle, for the sake of brotherhood, he naturally wanted to show mercy to his subordinates. ”

"Shameless Ma Chao, despicable Yan King!" Ma Chao shouted, Zhou Yu was furious, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and shouted wildly: "Kill the thief general under the city." ”

"Archer, release the arrow!" Xu Sheng was already angry by Ma Chao's words, and after Zhou Yu gave the order, Xu Sheng did not hesitate at all and ordered to attack again.

"Humph! Since Er Wu Guo doesn't know the current affairs, then don't blame Ben General for being ruthless~! Ma Chao was cold, and while dodging the arrows, he pulled his bow and arrows, and reflexively shot an arrow at the city wall.

The arrow whistled past, flew over a distance of more than ten zhang in the blink of an eye, and shot down the armor on Zhou Yu's head with a bang, shaking Zhou Yu's head with a roar.

"Protect the Governor!" Seeing this, Xu Sheng shouted in fright, and hurriedly came to Zhou Yu, raising his knife to rung, for fear that Ma Chao would come again.

Zhou Yu was only afraid at this time, as long as the arrow just now went down two inches, his head would be pierced by Ma Chao.

After shooting an arrow, Ma Chao quickly retreated back in order to avoid the arrows in the sky.

"Hahaha..."Ma Chao's arrogant laughter suddenly came: "Zhou Budo, the military advisor under the command of this general, said bluntly, Zhou Yu is the governor of Eastern Wu, and he must leave him with a small life to deal with the aftermath for the monarchs and ministers of Eastern Wu." ”

Zhou Yu, who was originally full of fear, changed his complexion several times after hearing Ma Chao's arrogant shouting, and then poofed, spurted a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards in a daze.

"Governor!"

Xu Sheng, who was in front of Zhou Yu, was sprayed with blood all over his neck by Zhou Yu's mouthful of blood behind him. Xu Sheng was startled, quickly turned around, and called for someone to come over to help while exclaiming.

On the wall of Liangcheng, there was another panic. Ma Chao turned around and glanced at the chaotic city wall of Liangcheng, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he whipped away.
