After Sun Quan's defeat, the entire Yangzhou was quickly captured by the Chu army, and most of the courtiers of Eastern Wu chose to surrender. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info?? w?w?w?.? At least the entire Eastern Wu, except for Zhou Yu, who is still holding on, everyone else has chosen to give up.

After taking Yangzhou, Ma Hong did not order to take the opportunity to attack Zhou Yu, but ordered the army to capture Yangzhou, so that Wang Ping, who was the highest official in the younger generation and slightly older, supervised Yangzhou, Deng Ai and Ma Shuang assisted Wang Ping, and Jiang Wei and Zhang Wei led the cavalry to block Zhou Yu's retreat. Pang Tong and Liu Ye returned to the dynasty from Yangzhou, Wei Yan's army just pressed Jiaozhou, the Shi family chose to surrender, Wei Yan sent a general to lead the army into Jiaozhou, and returned to Yizhou according to Ma Hong's will.

Gan Ning led nearly 100,000 sailors under Ma Hong's will, leaving only 20,000, leaving all the squad to return to the dynasty, and then Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning, Fa Zheng, Wen Ping, Zhang Ren and other generals will only take 20,000 sailors to confront Zhou Yu, the army of the surrounding counties trapped Zhou Yu in the Yangtze River, after the fall of Eastern Wu, Zhou Yu's supply line was completely broken, Ma Hong's meaning is very clear, not to attack Zhou Yu, so that Zhou Yu's army has no food available, less than two months, Zhou Yu's army must be without food, if Zhou Yu wants to fight to the death, in addition to finding a decisive battle for the Ganning water army on the Yangtze River, There was only a decisive battle with the Chu army surrounding Zhou Yu.

No matter which one he chooses, it is extremely unfavorable to Zhou Yu, but he can't sit still, at first he chose to fight a decisive battle with Gan Ning's naval army on the river, but Gan Ning avoided the battle with Zhou Yu under Zhuge Liang's strategy, and the warships of the Chu army were all steam iron ships, which were fast, if Gan Ning didn't want to fight with Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu couldn't catch up at all.

Zhou Yu was completely trapped on the Yangtze River, hundreds of warships were floating on the Yangtze River, and the shore was full of troops of the Chu army, as long as the warships docked, they would be suppressed by bows and arrows, and they could not break through at all.

On the ship, Zhou Yu sat on the deck, and news had already come from the house, his wife and concubine and son were captured by the Chu army, and his wife and son were sent to Xiangyang, including his most beloved concubine Xiao Qiao, but this was not the hardest blow to Zhou Yu, the hardest blow to him was that Sun Quan died, and Jiangdong's foundation was ruined, and now Zhou Yu knew very well in his heart that he could not set off any more storms with his own strength, and in the past eight months, his opponent Zhuge Liang has never shown a big flaw, and he can't win against Gan Ning's army, He couldn't win the powerful Chu Army, he lost, the current Dongwu Navy is just the end of the strong crossbow, the soldiers heard that the country was dead, everyone missed their hometown, if it weren't for him, the capital governor of the town, I'm afraid it would have been chaotic a long time ago, even some generals heard that their families were captured and sent to Xiangyang, and they began to be quiet.

In particular, Ma Hong also used a trick to bring the families of the generals to Xiangyang, and fortunately entertained them alive, and many of the families of those generals were influenced by Ma Hong, and wrote letters to their husbands, to their sons, to their fathers, and to persuade them to surrender. Not only that, Wang Ping also sent out a solicitation in Yangzhou, and many family members who went to serve in the army began to write letters to their children, husbands, and fathers, and boats full of letters continued to float on the Yangtze River, and the fighting spirit of the Wu army slowly collapsed.

In the middle of the night, during the day, the low cries of the soldiers were constantly heard in the wind, they wanted to go back alive, they wanted to be reunited with their families, they didn't want to freeze to death and starve to death on the cold Yangtze River, they didn't want to be turned into food in the mouths of fish and shrimp, they wanted to go back to their hometowns and touch their children's heads, hold their wives' hands, and toast their parents.

It turned out that Zhou Yu still wanted to fight Gan Ning to the death, but when he heard these cries all day long, and heard the cries of his soldiers, his heart was broken and he began to waver.

Even his children, his wife, and his little Joe came to persuade him to surrender, and they were on the ironclad warship of Ganning.

Zhou Xun said to him in a loud voice: "Father, don't hold on, the king of Chu promised to be kind to you." ”

His wife said to him in a loud voice, "Come back, husband!" Let the war end! ”

His little Joe didn't speak, but played a song with the piano, and the piano sound was full of longing.

The family was very close, Zhou Yu wanted to give the order to attack and shoot all his family members to death, but listening to their expectant voices, in the end he still did not give the order, even if their blood was thicker than water, even if they accompanied him through the day and night, even if their bodies were blended, but they never understood his heart, did not know his persistence, and did not know that under the mulberry tree many years ago, the two teenagers had such an encounter.

It was also the height of summer that year, the cicadas were chirping non-stop, Zhou Yu leaned against the tree with his hands on his chest, chewing a piece of grass in his mouth, and the sun was shining on his face through the leaves. That face that was so delicate that it could not be described as beautiful jade, looking at Sun Ce's horse with dark and deep eyes.

"Your horse is thirsty." This was the first thing Zhou Yu said when he saw Sun Ce.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu and smiled, the smile flowed from the corner of his eyes to the corner of his mouth, like a spring breeze blowing through the willows for ten miles, and in an instant it seemed that the weather was no longer so hot, this acquaintance, two teenagers of about the same age became friends, they talked about major events in the world, they talked about which girl was beautiful, they even talked about what name they should take if they had a child in the future, the two teenagers held hands tightly in the chaotic era, a famous family, a son of a tiger, they laughed, they made trouble, and they even discussed this **** Bathe. But the world will eventually be scattered, he has been gone for many years, and now Zhou Yu can still drink a lot of wine, but in the days when he is no longer drunk, he always can't get drunk when he drinks, and no matter how good the wine is, it doesn't taste like it was back then.

He once broke other people's cities with him, robbed other people's daughters, one married Da Qiao, the other married Xiao Qiao, and discussed that Da Qiao would give birth to a boy and Xiao Qiao a girl, and then let them marry.

He once said that he would fight for him, he would be the king, and he would be the general.

He once said that he would cross the Yangtze River and take Xudu directly, and he said that he would polish the sword that stabbed at Xudu for him.

Before he died, he said that he wanted him to protect Jiangdong for him, and for so many years, his sword has never been put down, and he has not slackened for a moment to protect his Jiangdong and the inheritance he left behind. He is his confidant, he is his wine, he is his sword.

Some people will never understand how deeply rooted this friendship is in his heart, and they will never know why he is so persistent, he is obsessed not because he wants fame and power, but because he wants to realize their dreams when they were young, but Sun Quan doesn't believe him, interrupts his plans again and again, divides his power again and again, and pushes him into the abyss again and again, for so many years, he has been insisting on this, but this time, he can't hold on.

Tears flowed from Zhou Yu's eyes...... (To be continued.) )
