However, after the news of the attack of Liuzan led the army of Yan County reached Zhang'an, Zhang'an County, which was barely peaceful, immediately fell into chaos, especially those Shanyue people, seeing the invasion of foreign enemies and the emptiness of troops in the city, some people were ready to move, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to loot the rich households in the city, and even to kill officials and rebel, according to Zhang'an.

After the army in the city was transferred, Liao Li, the general of Diannong, had already expected that Sun Quan would inevitably destroy the army to attack, so he did not panic, he immediately led a thousand elite guards to inspect the city defense, on the one hand, to unite those people in the Shanyue ethnic group who were close to him, to avoid taxes, military appointments, material rewards, etc. On the other hand, Liao Li also called on the broad masses of the people to protect their hard-won land and property, and not to allow some people with ulterior motives to succeed in their tricks.

At the same time, Liao Li also resolutely executed some lawbreakers who dared to infringe on people's property and create riots, these lawbreakers were both Han and Shanyue, Liao Li executed a group of people, and at the same time, in order to win the hearts of the people as much as possible, he generally only executed the main culprit, and only imprisoned the coercion to see the after-effects, and those who committed less serious crimes were directly released.

Liao Li's work can be said to be very skillful, not only successfully dividing and disintegrating the antagonism of the Shanyue people, but also successfully clearing the hidden in the city those who are loyal to the Jiangdong Sun clan, and completely stabilizing the situation.

After that, Liao Li asked all the people of Shanyue to put on the armor they wore during training, and followed him out of the city to meet the enemy.

Before asking these Shanyue people to go out of the city, Liao Li had already assured the Shanyue people that he would never need them to help fight this time, as long as they followed him out of the city, he could ensure that the enemy would obediently retreat.

Those Shanyue people listened to Liao Li's words, and they were a little skeptical in their hearts, because they had never seen anyone who didn't need to fight, and directly scared the enemy away, and they all knew how high the combat effectiveness of a team like their own was, although it seemed that there were about 10,000 people in terms of numbers, but such a group of forcibly gathered together without much formal training was not the opponent of the five thousand Danyang elite soldiers of the Jiangdong Sun clan at all.

But the result was a big surprise to them, because as soon as the 10,000 people led by Liao Li appeared, the face of the other party's main general changed, and he directly waved his army and retreated.

Those Shanyue people were completely impressed by Liao Li's resourcefulness, and at the same time admired Liao Li's courage very much, and since then, those Shanyue people have never had the idea of resisting the Jingzhou army.

In fact, Liao Li's plan is very simple, because he knows that the reason why the enemy army dares to sneak attack Zhang'an is mainly because there are few people in Zhang'an, and now Liao Li ordered the army to go out of the city to meet the enemy, that is, he directly told the enemy army that he has tens of thousands of horses in the city, and such a powerful force is not afraid of even a field battle, not to mention that he still has the advantage of defending the city.

What made the enemy general Liuzan feel even more weak was that Liao Li did not let a guard appear in the city, which created an illusion for Liuzan that the other party must still have an ambush in the city.

already has tens of thousands of troops, and there is another ambush in the city, I really don't know how many people there will be in the city, there are only 5,000 people under the command of Liuzan, how dare to confront Liao Li? So as soon as he saw Liao Li's army leaving the city, he didn't say a word and directly led the army to retreat.

Even after returning to the city, Liuzan requisitioned the people, strengthened the city defenses, and prepared to defend the county, for fear that Zhang'an's enemies would take advantage of the situation to attack his city.

At the same time, Liuzan also wrote a letter to Sun Quan, saying in a very positive tone that there are still 20,000 or 30,000 horses in Zhang'an County, and now the movement is unknown, I am afraid that it is also prepared for a sneak attack on Shanyin.

After this letter arrived in Shanyin, it caused Sun Quan's speculation and panic even more, and further strengthened his determination to transfer reinforcements from Zhou Yu, so Sun Quan once again issued an order urging Zhou Yu's reinforcements to arrive quickly.

At this time, Zhou Yu was very embarrassed after receiving Sun Quan's first order, because judging from the current shape, Anwu County itself is difficult to protect, not to mention sending troops to aid Shanyin, not to mention that it is nearly seven hundred miles from Anwu to Shanyin, if Liu Qi really leads his troops to launch a surprise attack, I am afraid that by the time his army arrives, Shanyin will have been lost.

And the most important thing is that Zhou Yu believes that the fundamental place of Jiangdong should be Danyang County, not Huiji, although the lord Sun Quan was named Huiji Taishou, but Huiji's strategic position is obviously not as good as Danyang, not to mention that there are countless Shanyue people there are constantly resisting, even if it is for the strategic purpose of uniting Cao Cao and jointly fighting against Liu Qi, it should not hesitate to ensure Danyang County, as long as Danyang and Wu County are kept, Jiangdong Sun can rely on hundreds of thousands of people in the two counties to try to make a comeback, but if Danyang County is lost, The connection between the Jiangdong Sun clan and Cao Cao was cut off from then on, and the result could only be that they fought alone, being eaten away by Liu Qi step by step.

It was for the above reasons that Zhou Yu decided to refuse Sun Quan's request to send reinforcements, and wrote a letter to Sun Quan on the grounds that "the generals are outside, and the military order is not subject to it", in which he also explained in detail the importance of Danyang County, Zhou Yu expected that Sun Quan would not insist on sending rescue troops when he saw his letter.

But unexpectedly, not long after Zhou Yu sent the letter to Sun Quan, he suddenly heard a report from the sergeant, saying that the lord Sun Quan had sent someone to convey the order.

Zhou Yu opened the letter and looked at it, and it turned out to be another order for him to quickly send troops to support!

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw that order, he didn't expect that the lord Sun Quan would send two orders to him in a row within an hour, so it seems that I am afraid that the letter he wrote to Sun Quan before would be difficult to make Sun Quan change his mind.

However, Zhou Yu has secretly made up his mind, this time he must stick to his choice, and he must defend Danyang at any cost, even if it will make the lord Sun Quan unhappy, he must not waver in the slightest, because this is the key to whether he can keep Sun Ce's foundation.

"Since Bo Fu entrusted me with the foundation of Jiangdong, then I must defend it for him at any cost, only in this way can I be worthy of Bo Fu's affection for me." Zhou Yu sighed softly, put Sun Quan's order aside, and ignored it again.

But unexpectedly, less than an hour later, Sun Quan once again sent an envoy to give him an order, asking him to send troops to support Sanyin as soon as possible.

"I actually issued three orders in a row, it seems that this time the lord has made up his mind to defend Shanyin, but this is obviously a thing that outweighs the loss, I really don't understand why the lord wants to do this? Could it be that he couldn't see that Danyang's status was more important than Huiji? Is he really for the sake of a good guard? But how do I feel like there's something else in this? ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but close his eyes and ponder.

After a while, Zhou Yu's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and then suddenly said, "Could it be that the lord will doubt me?" Shouldn't it be? I've heard similar rumors, but I've never taken them to heart, so could he have become suspicious of me? Otherwise, why didn't he take into account Danyang's interests, but instead bent on protecting his Huiji County? ”

The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more he felt that his inference was reasonable, otherwise, he really couldn't find another suitable reason for Sun Quan's strange behavior, because although Sun Quan was young, his wisdom was not low at all, and even much stronger than his brother Sun Ce, and it was precisely because of this that Sun Ce insisted on establishing Sun Quan as his heir, just to keep the foundation of Jiangdong.

What's more, Sun Quan is accompanied by resourceful people such as Zhang Zhao and Zhu Zhi, even if Sun Quan can't see it, can't they see it? Now that even they haven't stopped it, it seems that Sun Quan has made up his mind to weaken his own power.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, because he had never thought of coveting this military power in his hands, and he had never had any dissent, he just wanted to do his best to defend Jiangdong, and then help Sun Quan open up the territory, in order to repay Sun Ce for his kindness, but he didn't expect that he would arouse Sun Quan's suspicion, and he had to take the opportunity to weaken his own strength.

"What should I do now?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but ponder.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but remember that he was deeply trusted by Sun Ce back then, and he fought with Sun Ce in those years, after nine deaths and a lifetime of hard work, this created the foundation of Jiangdong, and now he is just because he is afraid of Sun Quan's suspicion to give up the hard-won achievements of six years, which is really unwilling, so that even if he is under Jiuquan in the future, I am afraid that he will not have the face to see Sun Ce.

Therefore, after a short period of consideration, Zhou Yu resolutely decided that this time he must resist the pressure no matter what, and he must not send a single soldier to Shanyin again, and he must definitely work hard to hold Danyang, because this is the fundamental place to keep the entire Jiangdong, and he also believes that the real purpose of Liu Qi sending troops to put pressure on Shanyin must be Danyang County.

After that, Zhou Yuyou received three orders from Sun Quan, all of which were completely identical: urging himself to fire the army to aid Shanyin. But Zhou Yu's determination never wavered any longer, and he turned a blind eye to them all, completely putting aside those orders.

After waiting for three days, Sun Quan of Shanyin couldn't help but be furious when he found that none of Zhou Yu's reinforcements had arrived.

In fact, although he originally had a trace of wariness of Zhou Yu, but he admired Zhou Yu's talent very much in his heart, if Zhou Yu really sent troops to help, Sun Quan would have complete trust in Zhou Yu from now on, and there was no need for him in his heart, but now Zhou Yu's reaction was very disappointing, from the point that he dared to disobey the order, if he didn't rely on it to resist Liu Qi's army now, he would immediately send someone to Anwu to capture and kill this person and regain his military power, but even now, Sun Quan is still trying to find a way to deal with Zhou Yu, of course, the current "deal with." "It's just a way to put pressure on Zhou Yu and get some reinforcements from him.

In the end, Sun Quan decided to write a letter to Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, the veterans of the Sun clan under Zhou Yu, and asked them to lead their headquarters to come to the aid of Shanyin, so that they could relieve the siege of Shanyin and weaken Zhou Yu's power, but it was also the best way.
