Chapter Seventy-Five: The True Meaning of Exhaustive Strategy
Fortunately, Zhou Yu had already sent someone to find out the waterway from under the water before, otherwise in such a foggy weather that shrouded the entire river, there was a white expanse in all directions, and it was really not easy to find the right direction.

On the side of the riverbank, on a beacon tower, several Jingzhou soldiers guarding the beacon tower sat bored and chatted together, chatting and farting, such days, ghosts would not come out, so the vigilance was relaxed a lot.
"Bang~"
On the beacon tower, there was a muffled sound, and the faces of several soldiers who were chatting couldn't help but change, and they suddenly became vigilant, one of them directly picked up the torch, put the torch on the firewood that had been prepared, looked at the others, nodded and signaled, as long as there was any change, they would immediately light the beacon.
The other warrior ran quickly to the edge of the beacon, and the king looked down to see where the strange noise had come from.
"Poof~"
An arrow pierced his throat, and the warrior's gaze suddenly drifted.
"Not good!" The faces of the other people changed, and the leader threw the torch directly into the firewood, and at the same time drew his weapon and prepared to fight desperately, at this moment, an arrow feather pierced the back of his head, and a cluster of arrows emerged directly from the center of his eyebrows, and his face still had a hideous expression, but it had stiffened and fell straight to the ground.
The pillar of smoke rose to the sky, but it didn't make any sense, the smoke was wrapped in a thick fog, not to mention ten miles away, even ten zhang away may not be able to detect, as for the others, before they had time to fight fiercely, they were surrounded by people who climbed up the beacon tower from all sides, and they lost their weapons very knowingly, kneeling on the ground, no one wanted to die, even if the soldiers were obviously looking for death in this kind of resistance, few people were willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness.
"Take it down and put out the fire." One of the team leaders pointed to the still burning firewood and said to a few people.
Someone brought water and poured it on the fire to extinguish it.
"Governor." The group was escorted to Zhou Yu and returned to Zhou Yu.
"Send a few men to stay as their men." Zhou Yu nodded: "Don't let them find flaws." ”
"Whoa!" This is already the third beacon to be taken, and everyone is already proficient.
Zhou Yu looked at these captives and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to live?" ”
"Naturally." Several soldiers said bitterly.
"Very good, if you want to live, do as I say, the governor of Pontus will never embarrass you, and even after the matter is completed, he will give you an additional official and a knight!" Zhou Yu said indifferently.
"Xie Dudu!" Several Jingzhou soldiers looked at each other, and then bowed their hands in unison.
"Let's go!" Zhou Yu waved his hand, and with the group, groped in the direction of Huyang.
At the same time, at Hukou Port, it was not until Zhou An landed with the fleet that the soldiers at Hukou found out that something was wrong, but it was too late.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
Jiang Dong, who had already prepared, quickly shot the warriors at the mouth of the lake with crossbow arrows, and when they were caught off guard, the defenders of the hukou could not see how many people there were on the other side, so they were disrupted by the opponent's fierce shots.
"Soldiers, kill with me!" Zhou An pulled out his long sword, roared angrily, and before the other party completely closed the gate of the wall, he killed it in one go, and the Jingzhou army in the mouth of the lake was killed by surprise, Zhou An sent people to make a noise in all directions according to Zhou Yu's time, for a while, as if there were enemy troops on all sides, the whole camp was in chaos, Zhou An took five hundred soldiers, rampage, the garrison of the mouth of the lake was weak and terrible, and soon Zhou An found the location of the grain.
"General, it's fake!" A soldier pulled a large bag of grain open with a knife, but what leaked out of it was a puddle of straw.
"Haha, Zhou Yu'er, I fell for my family's military advisor's plan!" At the moment when Zhou An's face changed wildly, in a violent shout, Zhang Fei's tower-like figure appeared, and around him, a team of Jingzhou soldiers surrounded Zhou An and five hundred Jiangdong soldiers.
"Zhang Fei!?" Zhou An pointed his sword at Zhang Fei, his eyes were cold, for this one of the best fierce generals under Liu Bei, the Jiangdong soldiers naturally heard of it, but when they saw it with their own eyes today, they could feel the violent sense of oppression coming from the other party.
"Huh?" Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows, looked at the old man in front of him suspiciously, and raised his eyebrows: "You are not Zhou Yu, who are you?" ”
"Hahaha~" Zhou An sneered: "Ping'er and other rats also want to go against my family governor and dream!" Soldiers, kill with me! ”
"Kill!" Although they were under siege, these soldiers were almost equivalent to Zhou Yu's dead soldiers, and they were not afraid of the siege of the Jingzhou army at this moment.
"Look for death!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly, and picked up the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, Zhou An raised his sword to meet him, but the violent power of the Zhangba Snake Spear shook the sword away, and then a spear pierced Zhou An's chest.
The surrounding Jiangdong soldiers did not react to Zhou An's death, and rushed to the surrounding Jingxiang soldiers without hesitation, wrapped in dense fog, Zhang Fei led people to surround him, and he could only surround at close range, unable to shoot with a rain of arrows, at this moment in the face of five hundred Jiangdong soldiers who were not afraid of death, they could only fight head-on, Zhang Fei roared angrily, and the Zhangba snake spear was like a black python swimming in the crowd, where he passed, the Jiangdong soldiers died next to each other, and they died when they touched it, but the Jiangdong soldiers were not afraid of death's counterattack, and still brought a lot of losses to the Jingxiang soldiers.
After the battle lasted for nearly half an hour, it gradually stopped, and all five hundred Jiangdong soldiers were shot, Zhang Fei glanced at Zhou An's corpse, felt that something was wrong, and ordered people to clean up the battlefield at the same time, and hurriedly rushed back to the camp with men and horses, where Zhuge Liang was looking at the map of Jingzhou.
"Kong Ming." Zhang Fei came in with a curtain and frowned.
"How?" Zhuge Liang raised his head and said with a smile: "Have you ever stabbed Zhou Yu?" ”
"Nope." Zhang Fei shook his head depressedly.
"Ran away?" Zhuge Liang was stunned and said, "Zhou Yu was able to escape from Yide's men? ”
"Of course not." Zhang Fei shook his head depressedly: "It's a miscellaneous fish, it's not Zhou Yu at all, Kong Ming, you miscalculated, think about it, such a dangerous thing, how could Zhou Yu come over in person." ”
When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face changed, and he stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, since Zhou Yu is not here, he must have gone to Huyang, he has seen through my plan!" ”
"What?" When Zhang Fei heard this, he jumped up directly, looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Didn't you say that it was foolproof?" ”
"Foolproof!" Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "Take the people and horses and rush to Huyang immediately, it should be too late now." ”
"What do you mean?" Zhang Fei looked at Zhuge Liang puzzled.
"Even if he breaks through Huyang, it's useless, just in case, Liang stored all the grain and grass in batches in the cellar, Zhou Yu is to break through Huyang, and it is impossible to take out all the grain and grass and burn it for a while." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice.
"Yours!" Zhang Fei was a little speechless, he finally understood what it meant to be a last resort, even if he missed it, the other party couldn't bargain, this is called a last resort, Zhuge Liang's cautious problem, but this time it was a great help, and he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, and directly picked up the people and rushed to Huyang.
The dense fog has begun to dissipate, Huyang, after opening the gate of Huyang, Zhou Yu quickly and easily defeated the Huyang defenders, but when he learned that all the grain and grass in the city were sealed in the cellar, Zhou Yu instantly felt that the world was full of malice.
"Governor, what should I do?" A partial general stepped forward and looked at Zhou Yu bitterly, the dense fog was rapidly dissipating with the appearance of the sun, and there was not much time for them.
"You take five hundred people to stay, you can burn as much as you want!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.
"What about you?" The general looked at Zhou Yu.
"I'm going to delay their reinforcements, remember, be quick!" Zhou Yu took off the cloak on his shoulders.
"Governor, or the last general should go." The general grabbed Zhou Yu and said hurriedly.
"This is a military order!" Zhou Yu said sharply.
"Whoa!" The general could only reluctantly agree, ordered five hundred men and horses, and began to quickly pull out the grain and grass in the cellar and burn it, while Zhou Yu took the rest of the people and horses to walk out of the city, Zhou An couldn't stop it for long, especially when the fog dissipated, he had to delay as much time as possible, so that the people who stayed in the city had more time to burn the grain and grass in Jingzhou.
"Woo~"
At this moment, the soldiers in charge of the guard outside the city blew the horn, and when Zhou Yu heard the sound, his face couldn't help but change, he didn't expect Zhuge Liang's reinforcements to come so quickly.
"Prepare for war!" With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yu led five hundred people to quickly approach the city gate, using the surrounding houses as cover.
"Zhou Yu'er, get out of here!" Looking at the several pillars of smoke rising in the city, Zhang Feihuan glared, and was about to rush over with the soldiers, but before he could rush far, arrows began to be released in the houses on all sides, and the soldiers who were caught off guard suddenly fell a lot, Zhang Fei waved the Zhangba snake spear and hit the arrows, and at the same time let out a roar.
(There is a time difference here, Zhou Yu is groping in the fog to reach Huyang, and at that time, Zhou An has almost been wiped out, so when Zhou Yu broke through Huyang and got the news of grain and grass, because the fog has begun to dissipate, Zhang Fei is much faster, and he has already brought people to kill.) )
"Shoot the arrows!" Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Fei and snorted coldly, this time, most of the arrows were directed towards Zhang Fei.
Before Zhang Fei could speak, he was forced to exit the alley by a continuous stream of arrows, and after looking around, Zhang Fei ordered his lieutenant to say: "You first lead people into the city from the side, and first kill those bastards who set fire to me, and attack me in front and back." ”
"Whoa!"
Zhang Fei's voice was very loud, and he didn't hide anything, Zhou Yu naturally heard it, and he was anxious when he heard it, this grain and grass had just begun to burn, but it must not be interrupted at this moment, and he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, kill the enemy and serve the country, just today, kill with me!" ”
"Kill!" Five hundred elite soldiers came out of the civilian house, and while firing arrows, they quickly pursued the Jingzhou army that was separated.
"Zhou Yu?" Zhang Fei recognized Zhou Yu at a glance, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Sons, kill with me!" (To be continued.) )
