Although Zhou Yu was a little surprised, it was just a momentary thing for him, so he immediately took the letter and began to read it.

When Zhou Yu finished reading it, he couldn't help frowning and sighing.

"Governor, could it be that there is something important in the lord's letter?"

Huang Gai saw Zhou Yu frowning and sighing, and he immediately looked at Zhou Yu and asked.

"The lord is just asking about the war, I just thought that I have been planning for a long time, but the result is still that I can't take Jingzhou, and there is a trend of decline, I'm sorry for the lord's high hopes, so I sighed for a while."

Zhou Yu immediately spoke after listening to Huang Gai's words.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, the others suddenly looked dark, and they were a little ashamed.

They didn't doubt Zhou Yu's words, after all, this was also a reasonable thing, besides, Zhou Yu was the governor of the capital, if there was anything urgent, how could he hide it and not report it.

"Governor, now that the war has reached the time of a decisive battle, the last general feels that it is time to speed up the pace."

"Victory or defeat in this battle, if unfortunately defeated, our army withdrew from Jingzhou, taking the Yangtze River as a risk, the Yangtze River is cold in winter, Zhuge Liang wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but it is also difficult to cross."

As a veteran loyal to the Sun family, Huang Gai is naturally loyal to the Sun family, so he even speaks.

Now this is the best result after the defeat, and the longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable the situation will be.

After listening to Huang Gai's words, Zhou Yu nodded, "What General Huang said is extremely true, the army needs to speed up its actions. ”

After saying this, Zhou Yu sighed in his heart this time.

The reason why he agreed with Huang Gai's statement was not only that what Huang Gai said was true, but more importantly, because of Sun Quan's letter.

The content of Sun Quan's letter was not simply to ask about the war.

The content of Sun Quan's letter said that Lu Su led the army in Shouchun.

Although Lu Su said that he won a few games with his wit, there was no substantial change.

Lu Bu was brave, and his subordinates Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were also unusual generals, which made the Jiangdong army easy to be pressed and beaten when attacking.

In this way, even if there is no problem with the strategy, the damage caused to Lu Bu's army will be greatly reduced.

Chen Gong was also very cautious, and it was difficult for Lu Su to find a breakthrough for a while in the later stage, so he was so deadlocked.

Because once Lu Su retreats, Lu Bu will inevitably reinforce Liu Wei's army.

In the battle between Jingzhou and Shouchun, the consumption of grain and grass was too great, so now Sun Quan wrote to tell him that the grain and grass could not be supported.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the grain and grass are insufficient, and if the battle is not ended as soon as possible, it can only be a big defeat in the end.

Zhou Yu knew that since Sun Quan said so, it meant that the situation of grain and grass was even more serious than he thought.

Thinking about it, this is indeed the case, since the conquest of Jiangdong, although it has been sitting on Jiangdong, but the change in the situation will naturally have an impact on the recovery of Jiangdong.

Before the expedition to Jiaozhou, now it is fighting Jingzhou and Shouchun, and the consumption of grain and grass is huge.

At the beginning, even they didn't expect that this time the war would last so long, and there was a tendency to retreat.

Zhou Yu then asked everyone to retreat for the time being, since they wanted to speed up the pace of the attack, then some plans naturally needed to be modified.

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, the soldiers also retreated directly, and it was not a day or two for everyone to work together.

They all knew that Zhou Yu's current state was thinking about how to march.

The night gradually fell again, and Liu Wei and Zhao Yun looked at Xuchang at night, and they seemed surprisingly quiet.

Maybe the previous war was too tense.

Or rather, it was the silence on the eve of the Great War.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of Runan have arrived, totaling about 15,000 people."

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Wei and said, if you rush from Runan to Xuchang, even if you rush to Xuchang, it will take a few days even if you march urgently.

"Yes, I see." Liu Wei was not surprised when he heard this number, and fifteen,000 people were already the largest number he expected in his opinion.

This time, he really almost hollowed out Yuzhou.

To be precise, not only Xuzhou, but also Xuzhou, except for the soldiers and horses of Zang Ba and Tao Ying, there is almost no resistance.

"Then when does Your Majesty plan to leave for Guandu, and as soon as the army arrives, it will set off?"

Zhao Yun continued to look at Liu Wei from the side and asked.

"Before leaving, I still need to send Zilong to you to fetch something, except for you, I don't feel at ease with others."

Liu Wei seemed to know that Zhao Yun would ask, and then turned to look at Zhao Yun and said with a solemn face.

"Although Your Majesty commands, Zilong will do his best to live up to Your Majesty's trust." Zhao Yun saw that Liu Wei was so solemn, and he immediately hugged his fists and replied solemnly.

"Zilong doesn't have to be like this." Liu Wei immediately supported Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, do you remember the gunpowder that I asked Fang Shi to refine before?"

Zhao Yun was also stunned, of course he remembered the power of this gunpowder, but he didn't forget it, this power was only afraid that it was not human beings could bear it.

"Your Majesty is planning to use it on the battlefield?"

Although Zhao Yun knew that Liu Wei made these gunpowders with the intention of using them on the battlefield, Zhao Yun was still full of emotion when he thought of its power.

As long as this gunpowder is widely used, I am afraid that there will be earth-shaking changes in future wars.

"Well, so I can only leave the custody and transportation of this gunpowder to you."

Of course, Zhao Yun knew how much Liu Wei trusted him, so he would hand these over to himself.

With the power of gunpowder, coupled with the current situation of the war, he mastered gunpowder, which not only affected the battle situation, but even affected Liu Wei's great cause.

"Use the Dragon Martial Army to escort the guards, and transport them directly to Guandu."

"Long Wujun?" Zhao Yun was even more stunned.

Although it is said that Long Wujun has always been in charge of him, this time Long Wujun added gunpowder, and he can be said to have completely mastered the most powerful weapon in Liu Wei's hands.

"What? Any questions? Liu Wei saw that Zhao Yun was stunned, but he was surprised.

"Thank Your Majesty for your trust, Zilong will definitely live up to Your Majesty."

"Go ahead, get ready, and leave early tomorrow morning."

Liu Wei looked at Zhao Yun and said, of course he trusted Zhao Yun.

And with Zhao Yun's martial arts and the Dragon Martial Army, it is absolutely foolproof.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhao Yun left Xuchang and went to Jinyang with only a hundred people.

"Sima Yi, even if you have the means to reach the sky, this time, I will meet you."

Liu Wei looked at the direction Zhao Yun left and said.

Liu Wei knew that Guo Jia wanted to avenge Xi Zhicai, so of course he couldn't sit idly by.

Xi Zhicai assisted himself with his life, and Guo Jia also did his best, and when he went on an expedition to Hanzhong, he was also hit hard.

If it weren't for Yu Ji's help, he would have been worried about whether Guo Jia would fall in Hanzhong.

If a confidant dies, Guo Jia is willing to do his best to assist him.

So how could he not do his best, besides, if Sima Yi died, it would also be a good thing for him.

Even if Sima Yi is talented, he can't use it for himself, so he can't stay.

Three days later, Liu Wei officially set off towards Guandu, which means that Xuchang has almost become an empty city without any defense, except for a thousand old and weak people and the civil officials who were originally stationed in Xuchang.

As long as there is an army of more than 3,000 people, I am afraid that Xuchang can be easily taken.

However, for Liu Wei, he is not worried, Guandu Ruosheng, Xuchang is worry-free, and Yuzhou is worry-free.

If Guandu is defeated, now Yuzhou is empty, and Xuchang will also be unable to support it at that time.

So there is no difference, instead of guarding Xuchang, it is better to increase the chips of Guandu.

Liu Wei also deliberately passed by Zhaoling, and then took Chen Zhi away and went to Guandu together.

Xu Huang guarded the Zhaoling Mausoleum to escort Xuchang and played the role of guarding Yuzhou.

Of course, this is in the case of the undefeated Guandu War, if it is defeated, then everything will be another matter.

For a time, Guandu once again became the focus of the situation in the north.

"Alas, what should come will come after all." Shan Yin sighed, if Liu Wei and Guo Jia were here, he would definitely recognize this person.
