Chapter 121 - To besiege but not to attack is to suffocate you

Zhou Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Li Shu rushing out of the city gate, he was really afraid that he couldn't lure Li Shu out of the city.

Of course, luring them out of town is not a success, only luring them away is a success.

In this way, it is natural that you can't just turn around and run, and you have to make two moves to not make people suspicious.

In fact, Huang Gai was worried not only about whether he could lure Li Shu out of the city at first, but also whether Zhou Yu and Li Shu would be injured or even killed when they fought after luring Li Shu out of the city.

After all, for Zhou Yu, his status as a strategist is more than his identity as a military general.

Although Huang Gai knew that Zhou Yu's strength was not too weak, Li Shu could be regarded as a famous general, so he couldn't help but worry.

On the contrary, Zhou Yu didn't care much about this, after all, his family knew about his own affairs, and just by virtue of Sun Ce's ability to fight with Sun Ce when he was alive, he could be regarded as having the pinnacle of second-rate generals, infinitely close to the strength of quasi-first-class generals.

Why was Zhou Yu able to fight with Sun Ce but only said that he was the pinnacle of a second-rate general, infinitely close to a quasi-first-class general, rather than a quasi-first-class general?

You must know that Sun Ce can be regarded as a first-class general, and he is invincible if he is not a quasi-first-class general!

But don't forget the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, with their almost biological brother-like feelings, how could Sun Ce use all his force when he fought with Zhou Yu?

Despite this, Zhou Yu's force is not weak.

It can be said that as long as he does not meet quasi-first-class generals, he has absolutely no problem dealing with other second-rate generals.

So will Li Shu be a quasi-first-class general?

Hehe, of course it's impossible.

You know, where are there so many quasi-first-class generals in this world, even Lu Xun, who has the assistance of the system, is now just a fourth-rate general, how can he be more awesome than the protagonist!

Therefore, when the two intersected, Zhou Yu actually had to retract his strength to fight with Li Shu, so as not to destroy Li Shu at once.

However, when the weapons of the two collided together, Zhou Yu found himself thinking too much.

Although Li Shu is indeed not as good as the protagonist, nor is he as good as a quasi-first-class military general like Tai Shici, he is definitely not weak, and it can even be said that the gap between the two is not as big as Zhou Yu imagined.

It was precisely because of Zhou Yu's retraction that when the blades collided, Zhou Yu was careless, and a cut was made by Li Shu on his arm.

This opening also made Zhou Yu put away his contempt.

He found that even if he didn't retract his efforts, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to fight much.

After a few rounds of fighting, Zhou Yu was already faintly at a disadvantage, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and led the army to flee.

This is not what Zhou Yu pretended to be, but he really couldn't scare Li Shu, so in Li Shu's eyes, there was no doubt about Zhou Yu's turning around and running away.

I have to say that it is precisely because of this that Li Shu was completely brought to the end.

And when Zhou Yu fled all the way to the woods, he suddenly thought in his heart, why not take advantage of Li Shu's pursuit, the defense in Shu County was empty, and take it down directly?

The idea popped into his head, and it never lingered.

Glancing at the guards on both sides of his side, Zhou Yu had a resolution in his heart, and secretly made a gesture to the guards beside him, and ordered softly: "Tell the soldiers below to let them divide half of their men and horses to flee to other places, and then let them all secretly gather under Shu County, and take Shu County while the main force is attracted away!" ”

After listening to Zhou Yu's order, the guards who followed Zhou Yu nodded and promised softly.

It didn't take long for the 50,000 army led by Zhou Yu to become chaotic, and they soon dispersed and fled.

Li Shu, who had been following him, looked at this scene, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he decided to continue to pursue the army led by Zhou Yu, as for the others, they were all small fish and shrimp, and he didn't bother to care.

After all, everyone knows that the leader of the troops is the most important meal, how can he easily let it go.

Soon, Zhou Yu led the remaining less than 20,000 soldiers and horses to rush into the woods where the ambush was originally set, startling a flock of birds.

Well, I don't know if the guards around Zhou Yu conveyed the order, in short, in the end, there are only these people left by Zhou Yu's side.

And when Li Shu followed Zhou Yu to the woods, after catching a glimpse of the woods startled a flock of birds, he also relaxed his vigilance in his heart, and rushed into the woods without thinking too much.

After all, in his opinion, if he can startle birds, then how can there be birds in this woods.

Well, this time Li Shu guessed wrong.

He would never have thought that Zhou Yu actually let Huang Gai catch a lot of flying birds when he was ambushed, the purpose of which was to dispel the suspicions in his heart.

I have to say that Zhou Yu's strategy is indeed very good.

It's so wonderful that Li Shu didn't even know that his death was coming.

pursued all the way, and after Li Shu and his party rushed into the depths of the woods, the Eastern Wu soldiers who were lying in ambush on both sides of it suddenly rushed out.

In Li Shu's eyes, he saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him.

He never imagined that there were really ambushes hidden in this forest.

But just now I saw a bird being startled, how could there be an ambush, this is not logical!

Before he could react, Huang Gai slashed at Li Shu, who was still in shock, with a machete in his hand.

In the end, in Li Shu's eyes, all he could see was a sword light passing by......

At the same time, Lu Xun also led an army of 100,000 to slowly approach Xichang County, the seat of Luling.

Although when Sun Quan ordered the commander, he said that he would let him choose his own deputy general, but he was not familiar with most of Sun Quan's generals, and because of Cheng Pu, no one wanted to be a deputy general under Lu Xun.

After all, compared to Lu Xun, Cheng Pu can be regarded as a veteran of the Sun Group, who would offend a veteran military general for the position of a deputy general.

Don't you want to mix in the army in the future!

But this is also good for Lu Xun, since no one wants to be his deputy general, he can naturally install his own people in the army.

Gan Ning had already been recommended by Lu Xun to Sun Quan and entered the Jiangdong Water Army, which was not under his consideration.

It is said that after Gan Ning learned the news that he was recommended by Lu Xun, he also quarreled with Lu Xun, in Gan Ning's words, that is, I am serving you Lu Xun, not that Sun Quan, why did you throw me to Sun Quan.

After Lu Xun explained, Gan Ning reluctantly entered the water army.

But Gan Ning also told Sun Quan when he entered the navy that he recognized the lord as Lu Xun, which was considered to be the absolute desire of Sun Quan to subdue him.

At least recognized Lu Xun as the main father, and that was also for Sun Quan.

Since Gan Ning is excluded, there are only so many people that Lu Xun can choose.

This is a must, not to mention his force, just let him stay in Wu County, Lu Xun's heart is also extremely uneasy.

Who knows if this guy will cause something in Wu County.

There is also Jiang Qin.

After all, for Lu Xun, Jiang Qin is definitely a good deputy, and Jiang Qin will complete many things well.

When the 100,000 army led by Lu Xun came to Xichang City and set up camp, Jiang Qin asked Lu Xun about the battle plan after that.

Who knows, when Jiang Qin's words fell, Lu Xun's eyes were closely looking at Xichang City not far away, a smile lifted on the corner of his mouth, and he said twelve words to Jiang Qin:

"No hurry! Besiege first and then attack, suffocate him and then ......"
