Chapter 2165: Zhou Yu's Assassination (Part II) (Page 1/1)

In this battle in Jingzhou, Zhou Yu was the commander, and the three counties of Jingnan were broken by the Cao army, although this matter did not have much to do with Zhou Yu, he was the commander of the army after all, if Sun Quan was guilty because of this, he would not be able to get rid of the responsibility.

"Zijing, now is the most critical moment for the Jiangdong Army, Zijing is a resourceful man, and he must have a clear understanding of the current situation, what Cao Jun hopes most is that our army can fight to the death." Zhou Yu sighed.

Lu Su said: "The subordinates understand, it's just that King Wu is worried about the war in Jingzhou, and the loss of the three counties in Jingnan has shaken Jiangdong, and King Wu is even more angry. ”

Zhou Yu's smile was a little bitter, if the same thing was put on Sun Ce's body, he would definitely have a supportive attitude towards Zhou Yu, and the officials in Jiangdong would definitely not dare to disobey Sun Ce's orders, when it came to Sun Quan's body, things had changed a lot, Sun Quan's attention to civilian officials made Jiangdong's civil officials show a negative side when the war started, and even many officials supported Sun Quan's surrender to Cao Cao, don't these courtiers know what it means for Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao, they support Cao Cao, It is also reasonable that behind Cao Cao is the imperial court, and Cao Cao's means are more sophisticated than Liu Bei, and they don't want to rule for Lu Bu in the future.

Many officials in Jiangdong took refuge from the Central Plains, and they were inextricably linked with the families of the Central Plains, and when Cao Cao led his troops to attack Jingzhou, he must have had no less contact with the families in Jiangdong, and the families in Jiangdong stood on Cao Cao's side, and the situation would be even more unfavorable for Jiangdong.

After all, Sun Quan has not been in charge of Jiangdong for a long time, and he is a little immature compared to Sun Ce in terms of means, and he lacks sufficient deterrent power when dealing with the family.

If the Jiangdong army can't win on the battlefield in Jingzhou, it will help the Jiangdong officials surrender to Cao Cao's remarks, the more at this time, the more Zhou Yu has to keep a clear head, even if he can't defeat Cao's army, he can't let Cao Cao capture Jingzhou so easily, he is waiting for the opportunity on the battlefield.

As the commander in the army, when the war is urgent, he must have his own judgment.

"Governor, if you send a large army to fight, you may be able to improve the morale of the army, our army is always a passive defense when fighting against Cao's army, and in the long run, I am afraid that the army's heart will be shaken." Lu Su said.

"How could General Ben not know these truths, it's just that the Cao army is on the offensive, and after the Cao army's attack on Xiling slows down, it will be the opportunity for our army." Zhou Yu said slowly.

"The Governor is wise!" Lu Su arched his hand.

"I also hope that Zijing can comfort King Wu and let King Wu not be in a hurry to defeat Cao Jun." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"The governor is serious, and his subordinates are just a petty official under King Wu's account." Lu Su hurriedly said that since he arrived in the Jiangdong Army, he has been relatively low-key.

Zhou Yu could see the purpose of his trip to Jiangxia, Lu Su was not the slightest surprise, and from Zhou Yu's usual words, it can be seen that Zhou Yu will explain the situation on the battlefield to him, which makes Lu Su very important, in fact, Zhou Yu is not only because of Lu Su's identity, but also because of Lu Su's talent.

As a courtier under Sun Ce, he failed to protect the three counties of Jingnan on the battlefield in Jingzhou, and after returning to Jiangdong, he will definitely be punished, and the military power in his hands will definitely be weakened.

Only when the power among the generals is firmly in his hands, Sun Quan can be the real master of Jiangdong, otherwise the military power is in the hands of Zhou Yu, which will give Sun Quan a feeling of unease, Zhou Yu's prestige in Jiangdong is higher than that of Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu is a literati.

After Lu Su left, Zhou Yu fell into contemplation, judging from the current siege of the Cao army, the Cao army has used all the means, and in the face of the Cao army's siege, the Jiangdong army is indeed relatively weak, if it is a battle on the river, Zhou Yu with 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, has absolute confidence that he can defeat the 100,000 Cao army.

However, Sun Quan will definitely not give up Jiangxia easily, if Jiangxia loses, it will be a great blow to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan needs victory to stabilize his position.

Several soldiers were quietly approaching the Chinese army's tent at this time, they seemed to be patrolling in the army, and their eyes were looking in the direction of the Chinese army from time to time, and their steps in walking were quite different from ordinary soldiers.

As the commander of the army, Zhou Yu has an absolute position in the army, and there are naturally not a few forces that secretly protect Zhou Yu, but in Xiling City, the defense is extremely tight, not to mention the vicinity of the Chinese army, these patrolling soldiers have not attracted the attention of those who protect Zhou Yu.

A soldier stopped, he saw Zhou Yu not far from the Chinese army's tent, they must have had a certain understanding of Zhou Yu's appearance before they assassinated Zhou Yu.

Without a trace, he turned around and walked into the darkness.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu felt an extremely dangerous aura, although he was a literati, but Zhou Yu had experienced no more battles than the generals in the army, and the rich experience on the battlefield made Zhou Yu even more vigilant to the proximity of danger that ordinary people could not reach.

"There are assassins!" The sudden shouting alarmed the soldiers protecting Zhou Yu near the Chinese army, and a soldier with a bloody face shouted loudly while coming in the direction of Zhou Yu.

Two crossbow arrows came towards Zhou Yu, reflecting the firelight, Zhou Yu even saw the cold light on the arrow, this situation made Zhou Yu's heart move, the shouting soldier just now was just the assassin deliberately released to attract Zhou Yu, but the real killer was hidden in the dark.

Several guards rushed forward without hesitation, and then they heard Zhou Yu's screams.

More and more guards came to protect Zhou Yu in the middle of the crowd.

One of the generals shouted, "Hurry up and let the doctor come, the governor is injured." ”

These words caused a lot of turmoil in the guards, they are Zhou Yu's guards, and the most important responsibility is to protect Zhou Yu's safety, and now Zhou Yu is injured on the battlefield, they have an unshirkable responsibility.

After hearing such shouts, the assassins who were about to look for an opportunity to step forward quietly left the vicinity of the Chinese army, they themselves were dressed as Jiangdong soldiers, and the soldiers in the army looked a little flustered after learning the news of Zhou Yu's injury, but no one noticed that they were wrong.

This night, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were panicked, Zhou Yu was the commander of the army, and the commander was injured at the most critical moment of the war, which was the biggest blow to morale.

After receiving the order, the healer rushed to the Chinese army at great speed, and then the Chinese army's big tent was placed under martial law.
