Chapter 594: Zhou Yu Dispatches Troops
"Order, Lone is going to Yuzhang to the east, and he will leave in three days!"
After ordering the four to retreat, Liu Yong pondered for a while, directly gave an order, and ordered someone to report to Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others.
Liu Yong's order stirred up thousands of waves with one stone, and suddenly made countless people have all kinds of speculations in their hearts.
Sure enough, in the morning of the next day, everyone launched a report and suggestions on this matter, but there were many voices of opposition, but none of the main figures such as the military advisor Pang Tong, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, and Sima Fazheng opened their mouths, and everyone suddenly felt a pang in their hearts, and there was no movement in the court where everyone was still loudly opposed.
Naturally, none of the people who can stand on this court are stupid, they are all good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, and they instantly guessed Liu Yong's intentions, since they can't stop it, they must not make themselves uncomfortable with the king of the king.
"Since all of you agree, let's start preparing with your left hand today!" Liu Yong waved his hand and directly condemned the matter to death.
King Chu toured the east, this is a big event, today's situation in the world affects the whole body, King Wu's actions have long been no secret, although Liu Yong cut off contact with Jiangdong, but this is also on the surface, secretly business transactions are still going on, and after being restricted by the order of the King of Chu, the price of Jiangdong skyrocketed, and the usual goods have risen several times in a row, and even the rice abundant in Jiangdong has doubled with a knot, making their business more violent, and they are grateful to Liu Yong for this restriction in their hearts.
The news was transmitted to all directions along with the channels of all parties, and the biggest reaction was Sun Quan, he was plotting against Yuzhang, but Liu Yong's eastern tour made his plan directly stillborn, and he didn't have the strength to make Liu Yong hard-fought now.
On the day of Liu Yong's departure, Sun Quan received an 800-mile urgent express from Zhou Yu, requesting to abandon Yuzhang and attack Yicheng with all his might.
Yicheng is a small city located on the edge of the Huai River, but because of the geographical location, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by more than 20 large and small peaks, which can be described as a strategic place, and since Jiangdong captured Hefei, it has become an important stronghold, completely blocking Jiangdong people and horses in the Huainan region, for this reason, Cao Cao specially named the general Zhang Liao to guard here, to prevent Sun Quan from using troops, even if Hebei is now suffering a catastrophe and has not been transferred, it can be seen that it attaches great importance to it.
However, Zhou Yu was repeatedly stopped by Liu Yong, and his anger was already hard to disappear, Yuzhang has become a piece of his heart, but Liu Yong is powerful, and he can only be wronged, but a stop in Hefei did let him breathe a bad breath, which can be regarded as relieving a little stuffiness in his heart.
It's just that this is far from enough, as the governor of Wu State, he is not willing to be trapped and die in this small city like this.
After capturing Hefei, Sun Quan also became a little suspicious of him, so that he could only go north, and the plan that had already persuaded Sun Quan to secretly attack Yuzhang was also interrupted by Liu Yong's eastern tour, and he had to find a suitable person to vent. And Cao Cao's vitality is now greatly damaged, and the northern and southern front is too long, which makes Zhou Yu see the opportunity, Yicheng, the Jiangdong army can take advantage of the water army, and move eastward to firmly control the south of the Huai River, and can take the opportunity to establish Xuzhou.
"Played by the Governor of the Quasi-Zhou!" Sun Quan waved his pen and directly gave instructions to Zhou Yu's performance, he was also angry, and a good plan was interrupted, which can be described as angry. However, the east is not bright and the west is bright, he just wants to find an opportunity to regain some face.
With Sun Quan's support, Zhou Yu suddenly became a lot more relieved, the soldiers and horses were already ready, and the goal was changed, and in just three days, it was completely adjusted, and at this time, Liu Yong's boat had just arrived in Chaisang.
Zhou Yu did not directly send troops with great fanfare this time, but chose to send troops at night, looking at the countless armor soldiers in front of him, the sullenness in his heart could no longer be contained, and he shouted angrily: "Send troops!" ”
Marching at night was a taboo, but Zhou Yu had already explored this area very clearly, and the men and horses soon arrived in Xiquyang City quietly. The defenders in the city were still in a dream, they were strangled in an instant, and in just one thing, Zhou Yu successfully captured this small city without running out, which was undoubtedly a great encouragement to Jiangdong's morale.
Zhou Yu repeated his old tricks, and on the night of the next day, he sent troops from Xiquyang again, went straight north, and arrived at the Huai River, now they don't have to worry, as long as they are in the water, they are dragons, fearless.
"General Huang, please lead the army of five thousand, march from the dry road, cross the Wang Mountain, and go straight to Yicheng!"
"Zhou Tai, lead 10,000 sailors, go down the river from the waterway, and attack Yicheng!"
"General Han Dang, lead an army of 5,000, pass through the Wolf Valley, cross the Yin Stream, climb over the snow-capped mountains, and besiege Yicheng!"
"No!" The generals dispersed.
Zhou Yu has always liked to be in the army, so he left Taishi Ci to guard Hefei, and he led 15,000 people to follow the rear of the army and march towards Yicheng.
Huai River, and the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, Jishui and called the four desecrations, is one of the four big rivers that flow into the sea alone, originates in Tongbai Mountain in Yuzhou, turns and turns, rushes into the sea like a long dragon, but turns a bend here in Jingtu Mountain, receives several streams that run to the mountain, and passes around the mountain. The river is wide and the current is gentle, making it an excellent waterway for boating.
The Huai River flows quietly in the middle of the night, and the gentle water gently caresses the riverbank, moistening this rich land. Everything seemed serene and quiet.
"Chirp!" Suddenly, a waterfowl was suddenly awakened by something in his sleep, and instantly flew away quickly in the distance despite the darkness, and a row of black shadows suddenly appeared on his face, down the river, like a dragon king on patrol.
"What's that?" On the top of the mountain, next to a beacon tower, the sleepy eyes of a soldier who came out to facilitate it suddenly saw a strange movement on the river, and he was immediately startled.
"Old ...... Top dog...... Belch! ”
But before he could speak, a delicate short sword pierced his throat and fell straight into the grass.
"Tian San, you rabbit cub, what kind of nerves do you have!" A voice shouted out cursed, and he was very unhappy that the little soldier had disturbed his good dreams.
"Kill!" But just as he walked out of the shack, a soft cry suddenly came from the darkness, and he only felt a little cold on his back, and then he saw that a short knife had pierced his heart and came out of his body.
There was little movement, and after a few breaths, the place was soon quiet again, as before, but the original defenders were completely reduced to two dead bodies in the grass.
