Chapter Seventy-Six: Loyalty

The fog has gradually dissipated, the fire and sword light spread throughout Huyang City, the Zhangba snake spear dragged a tragic bloody breath, was blocked by Zhou Yu's sword, and Huyang City, which was filled with a bloody breath, the shouting and killing sound had gradually faded, and the center of the battle gradually shifted to a corner of the city, Zhou Yu's side, there were only a dozen people left who were still resisting, Jingzhou soldiers had begun to fight the fire, and the flames in the cellar were relatively easy to extinguish, but the grain that was dragged out of the cellar was not so easy to extinguish. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In everyone's impression, Zhou Yu is a handsome gentleman, the kind of commander who strategizes, few people know that Zhou Yu has the strength that is not inferior to Sun Ce, this feeling, after Zhang Fei's inevitable spear was blocked by Zhou Yu, Zhang Fei felt that this little white face does have some extraordinary ability, but ...... Or die!

A strange force surged up through the spear shaft, and Zhou Yu's sword showed traces of cracking, this is something that Zhang Fei has researched over the years, some of which are similar to inch strength, which can cause damage to the opponent with a second force after the weapon is in contact, which was originally used to deal with Lu Bu, but now, it is just time to try Zhou Yu!

"Poof~" The sword trembled and shattered, Zhou Yu took the opportunity to roll, picked up a spear from the ground, twisted his body and exerted force, and stabbed Zhang Fei in the throat, ignoring the snake spear that was killing him, obviously having the idea of ending up together.

"Tsk~" Zhang Fei snorted angrily and turned his head to dodge, now that the general trend of the Jingzhou army has been decided, there is no need for him to die with Zhou Yu.

There are more and more Jingzhou troops, and the Jiangdong soldiers who are still fighting in the city are still fighting without fear of death, a desperate, invincible, these people are Zhou Yu's diehard loyalists, even if they know that they have fallen into a desperate situation, and the Jingzhou army has also released the words of surrender and not killing, but they still have no hesitation to stab the weapons in their hands to the enemy, even if the body is pierced by a sharp blade, it is this kind of fearless momentum that has dragged the war until now, but with Zhuge Liang with three thousand Jingzhou soldiers into the city, after joining the battlefield, the overall situation is irretrievable.

Zhang Fei was a little annoyed, this little white face was obviously dying, but he was still fighting for his life, even the people around him were not afraid of death.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Fei has a little more admiration for Zhou Yu at the moment, such a man is called a man, but he has all his skills, but now he is forced to this extent by a Zhou Yu who has run out of oil and lamps, and spread it out, how can he meet people?

"Yide, stop!" Zhuge Liang's voice sounded from behind him at the right time, interrupting Zhang Fei's momentum.

Zhou Yu raised his head and looked behind Zhang Fei, but saw an elegant young man coming out from behind Zhang Fei under the escort of several warriors.

"Zhuge Kongming?" Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, although it was the first time they met, he was sure that the person in front of him was Zhuge Liang, there was no reason, it was an intuition.

"Liang has seen the Grand Duke." Zhuge Liang bowed slightly, looked at Zhou Yu, and sighed slightly: "Why is this the governor?" ”

"I don't have a choice." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and shook his head: "I just didn't expect you to ......"

Looking at the fading fire in Huyang City, Zhou Yu couldn't describe his feelings in his heart, how cautious should Zhuge Liang be? Not only threw smoke bombs, but also put all the grain and grass on the ground, and divided it into nearly a hundred cellars, even if he saw through Zhuge Liang's plan, in the face of this kind of preventive means, Zhou Yu could only sigh that he had met the wrong opponent, and replaced it with someone else, even Cao Cao Lu Bu, and now he has succeeded.

"Bright life, for the word prudence can be stronger than the governor." Zhuge Liang naturally understood what Zhou Yu wanted to express: "This battle is not considered to be a win, but it is not a loss to be counted as a loser if he understands the strategy of breaking the light!" ”

"To lose is to lose." Zhou Yu said proudly: "The eldest husband is alive, he can afford to win and lose, what, do you want to recruit me?" ”

"That's what I mean." Zhuge Liang nodded: "But after seeing the Grand Governor, Liang knew that it was an insult to the Governor." ”

"I thought that I only had one confidant in my life, but I didn't expect that before I died, there would be one more, and God would treat me well!" Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang and sighed: "It's a pity that I couldn't really compete with you!" ”

"If you talk about military strategy, Liang is not the opponent of the governor." Zhuge Liang is colorful.

"If you talk about mental arts, I can't compare with you, and looking at the world, there are few people who can compare with you." Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang, holding a spear in his hand, but his voice gradually weakened.

Zhang Fei looked at it and saw that he was standing and dying in place.

"Governor!" Several Jiangdong soldiers who participated let out a cry of grief and knelt down around Zhou Yu's corpse, which had begun to stiffen.

"Kong Ming, this ......" Zhang Fei looked at these Jiangdong men who had never been afraid even in the face of death, but at this moment, they wept bitterly one by one, moved the snake spear, and finally did not start, and looked at Zhuge Liang with some embarrassment.

"Forget it, let ......" Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu's body that was standing until death, and his chest was also a little blocked, and he was about to speak, but he saw several Jiangdong soldiers raising their swords in their hands in unison, wiping them on their necks, and the blood stained Zhou Yu's robes red, and a group of people just maintained a kneeling posture and knelt around Zhou Yu.

The death-like silence, even if it was still an enemy before, but at this moment, whether it is Zhang Fei or the Jingzhou soldiers around him, looking at these people at this moment, there is a strong respect, for Zhou Yu, but also for these soldiers who have not even left their names until death, they may be unknown, but this loyalty is enough to make people put aside all grievances and admire from the heart, and can make these loyal and brave people live and die with each other, you can hate him, but there is no way to hate him.

"Bury Zhou Yu and the remains of these soldiers together, and order someone to send them to Chaisang." Zhuge Liang sighed and ordered.

"Hmm." Zhang Fei nodded, and began to order people to bury the corpse, the Jingzhou army also began to clean up the tragedy, Zhou Yu's surprise attack, really shocked Zhuge Liang into a cold sweat, if he reacted more slowly, or Zhou Yu brought more people, then even if Zhou Yu finally died, but Jingzhou, it was over, Liu Bei's army would be scattered, and Jingzhou's 100,000 army would be scattered because of this, Jiangdong took the opportunity to attack, even if it was Zhuge Liang, he was powerless.

Even so, Zhou Yu still brought a lot of disasters to Jingzhou, Huyang's grain and grass, after the war, after the war, at least one-third of the grain and grass was burned by Zhou Yu, although there are still two-thirds, it sounds like there are a lot, but Zhuge Liang knows that these grains and grasses still have to supply Jingxiang's soldiers and horses, and the front-line war is difficult, and it is difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat in the short term, and he will lead the army to attack Shu later, and now this grain and grass is no longer enough to support Jingzhou's two-front battle.

Zhuge Liang's plan was completely messed up by Zhou Yu like this.

"It's time to make some decisions!" Thinking that Zhou Yu put himself together until he died, Zhuge Liang was a little bitter, not only Yique Pass but also Shuzhong, Jiangdong at this time, also had to be guarded, after all, Zhou Yu was the governor of Jiangdong, just look at the performance of those Jiangdong soldiers after Zhou Yu's death, Zhuge Liang was a little big, although this matter, speaking of which, it was Zhou Yu who destroyed the alliance and provoked the front, in principle, Jingzhou was tenable, but Zhuge Liang had to consider the hatred of the Jiangdong soldiers attracted by Zhou Yu's death, Sun Quan is probably also happy to transfer this hatred to Jingzhou's head, so that it is absolutely impractical to fight on two fronts.

Shuzhong is about Liu Bei's future, whether Zhuge Liang's strategy of dividing the world into three parts can work, and Yique Pass is about righteousness, if Liu Bei retreats at this time, he will inevitably lose righteousness.

Of course, if it is really reasonable, it is completely possible to push this matter to the dead Zhou Yu, after all, it is because Zhou Yu took the lead in tearing up the covenant and attacking Hukou that the Jingzhou army has no food.

Of course, it is too far to think about these things at the moment, and now the location of Hukou has been understood by the Jiangdong Army, but it can no longer be used as a place to store grain, and it is necessary to choose a new place to store grain, and there are Jingxiang soldiers who need to stabilize their morale.

"Kong Ming, the army is ready, when will we leave for Shu?" Zhang Fei walked in and looked at Zhuge Liang with some complaints, Zhuge Liang said, wait a minute. After Zhou Yu died, he sent troops to attack Shu, and now it has been two days, but Zhuge Liang has not moved for a long time, and Zhang Fei's anxiety has been committed again, Zhou Yu's battle, with more and less, is really not a good thing, and in the end, Zhou Yu's ending also made Zhang Fei's heart feel like a boulder, very uncomfortable, and there is no sense of accomplishment that victory should have.

"General Yide!" Zhuge Liang reluctantly put down the official document in his hand, looked at Zhang Fei, and said seriously: "This matter has changed a bit, a lot of grain and grass have been burned, and we have to guard against Jiangdong's revenge, so we really don't have too much energy to attack Shu." ”

"Then I'll go to the front line to help my eldest brother." Zhang Fei's face darkened and he snorted.

"No need." Shaking his head, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhang Fei and said: "The strength of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong is beyond my estimate, Luoyang is no longer possible, I have sent someone to write to the lord, withdraw the front-line soldiers, build a high barrier, and guard against Lu Bu and Jiangdong." ”

"Huh~?" Zhang Fei was dumbfounded, and looked at Zhuge Liang incredulously: "Then what should I do?" ”

Zhuge Liang glared at Zhang Fei angrily and said: "When the lord returns to the solstice, it will be when our army will go out of Shuzhong, and there will be a battle!" ”

The battle at Yique Pass is not going well, even if it can be captured, it is difficult to go further, and Cao Cao's war-free card over there in the Tiger Prison Pass has also been hanging for a long time, what worries Zhuge Liang the most, is still the movement of Pang Tong in Hanzhong, for this character with the same name as himself, Zhuge Liang does not dare to have the slightest carelessness, this is a person who likes to take risks, and the most important thing is that Pang Tong is good at military strategy, at this point, it is very similar to Zhou Yu, although he is still facing Zhang Ren's Shuzhong army in Hanzhong, but Zhuge Liang does not think that this friend will stay in Hanzhong in peace, This is also one of the reasons why Zhuge Liang is so eager to send troops to Shu.
