Yuzhang was captured, which was expected, but the speed of success was also unexpected by Tai Shici.

In fact, just one day before the rear army led by Tai Shici encountered the rebels of the Shanyue barbarians, Qin Xu's main army of more than 20,000 people gathered in Wangu County had already approached Yuzhang City, which was less than a hundred miles away.

And Zhou Yu, who was entrusted by Sun Ce with the important task of guarding the city, was standing on the wall of Yuzhang with a pale face at the moment, supported by the boy behind him, wearing a thick coat on a hot day, covering the corners of his bloody mouth with a silk handkerchief, and staring at the big Qin character under the city without a trace of emotional fluctuations in his eyes, and he was silent for a long time.

Did you miscalculate?! Zhou Yu's already frowning brows furrowed even tighter. In Zhou Yu's original plan, Sun Ce followed Yan Baihu's army, which was obviously going to "connect" with Qin Xu, and chose a place to ambush Qin Xu's coalition army with Qin Xu and Yan Baihu's army with a well-prepared army and encroachment, and there should be no mistakes. What's more, for the sake of insurance, Zhou Yu used all the hole cards he had buried when Sun Ce was plotting Jiangdong. When he first attacked the Yan Baihu forces that spanned Wu County and Huiji County, Zhou Yu was already in the same place between Yuzhang and Huiji, and if Qin Xu came from Fuguan this time, he would inevitably get in touch with some powerful figures within the Shanyue Xindu Sect in the land of Dao. And just ask the other party not to take Qin Xu's 30,000 army seriously have any grievances, as long as it can delay the march for three or two days, it is not easy to transport on mountain roads, and it is impossible for Qin Xu's army to carry too many rations, as long as the other party's food is exhausted, Zhou Yu is sure that Qin Xu's lone army will not return.

In Zhou Yu's mind, as long as Sun Ce can successfully block or delay the appearance of Yan Baihu. It was easy for those mountains to achieve this "goal". Unexpectedly, I don't know which immortal Qin Xu is taking care of. The Shanyue "friend" who had dragged down Yan Baihu, who had outnumbered Sun Ce's army several times the strength of the army back then, was expelled. didn't even drag Qin Xu for a day, and Sun Ce was actually tricked by Yan Baihu, that guy actually had the courage to put down the nearly 10,000 army in his hand and chase Qin Xu alone, could it be that this King of Eastern Wude, who once dominated the southeast, was really not worried that if he didn't have a strong honor guard, he would be liquidated in Lu Bu's army? Anyway, though. These sudden variables completely disrupted the rhythm of Zhou Yu's deployment.

If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game! Zhou Yu coughed violently a few times and shook his head. It was as if I wanted to shake this mess of chaotic thoughts out of my mind. Looking at the outside of Yuzhang City, the army of Qin Xu, who was like a forest of guns and flags and did not move like a mountain, forced himself to calm down.

Now there are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Sun clan in Yuzhang City. Several Sun veterans. In Zhou Yu's opinion, although Qin Xu, who has a certain advantage in total strength, may not have no turnaround. You must know that although Qin Xu's army under the city at this moment is twice as large as the Yuzhang defenders, there are actually only more than 20,000 people. The art of war has clouds, and the times are divided, five are attacked, and ten are encircled. It's a big deal to use the lives of soldiers and rely on the solidity of Yuzhang. Consumption also consumes Qin Xu's troops. Perhaps, as long as he persuaded the group of Sun veterans who were clamoring to go out of the city to fight Qin Xu to the death at the moment, they would take care of the city and guard the city, so as not to be confused by Qin Xu's legendary words that could say that the dead could be said alive and go out of the city to face the battle. It stands to reason that it shouldn't be difficult to support Sun Ce's return to help, right? It looks beautiful. But for now, Zhou Yu can only hope for this.

"Sir, it's windy in the city, so you'd better go home and rest!" It was the scholar in Zhou Yu's mansion who spoke, and it was said that this scholar had followed his own young master, who surpassed many mortals everywhere, and he had been around for nearly ten years, and he had never seen Zhou Yu have such a disgraced face now. Seeing that Zhou Yu was coughing more and more severely by the wind on the city wall with a faint killing atmosphere, he cautiously reminded Zhou Yu, but he was worried that Zhou Yu would not stop, so he added another sentence and said: "Sir, don't forget, today Mr. invited Cheng Demou, Han Yigong, and Huang Gongfu to the mansion to discuss major matters, look at the time, it's almost time to come, sir, do you see if it's ......?"

"Let's go!" Zhou Yu took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his chest that was about to cough violently, and arched his hand at Sun Jing, who was shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the city at the moment, and was walking in front of him, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word, sat on the four-wheeled car, and was pushed down the city wall by the scholar under Sun Jing's slightly complicated gaze.

Perhaps because it was Sun Ce's brother, Zhou Yu's mansion was on the edge of Sun Ce's mansion, because of Sun Ce's temperament, it was not far from the Yuzhang barracks, so when Zhou Yu returned to the mansion, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai, and Sun He, the representative of the leading general of the Sun clan, had already arrived early. But when these few people saw Zhou Yu returning home, except for Sun He who got up and called Zhou Yu brother along Sun Ce's association, the three veterans didn't even raise their eyelids.

"A few old generals, right now the lord is leading the troops outside, the army of Qin thieves is close at hand, and the siege is imminent, if Zhou Yu has something offensive that makes the old generals look down on it, it doesn't matter. As long as they can repel this incoming enemy, the three generals will kill Zhou! It's just that at this moment, when the enemy is present, when Bo Fu is about to leave the city, he asks me to use the military and political power, and I hope that the generals will listen to a certain dispatch before the thieves retreat, even if it is for the foundation of the Sun family! Zhou Yu pushed away the scholar who wanted to help him up, took a deep breath and stood down from the four wheelchairs. Contrary to the gentle and elegant face on weekdays, there is no mistake anymore, Zhou Langgu's elegance is slightly sickly, and it sets off a little more handsome face, and it also flashes a little ruthless, glanced at the three veterans, and said coldly. There was a hint of murder in his voice, but Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai thought about taunting Zhou Yu for a while, and they were forced to block their stomachs.

"What did my brother say!" Seeing that because of Zhou Yu's words, because of the idea of the three veterans asking for guilt, the atmosphere in the room that was already a little tense became more and more intense, and even a little weird, Sun He hurriedly said: "Brother and Brother Bofu and the old generals, everything they plan is for the sake of my Sun family, Sun Mou and Brother Bofu first, thank you for your kindness!" ”

"Humph! If the young master was in Yuzhang, he would not have let us watch Qin Xu camp outside the city in an orderly manner, and we would be the generals. But in addition to stubbornly defending! Hold on! Hold on again! Nothing else! "Among the veterans here, Cheng Pu's qualifications are the oldest. is also known as the wise general, the most close to Sun Jian, so in Sun Ce's army, the prestige is also the highest, and the most despised by Sun Ce to be pulled up by the line of fire, obviously for them, the old people of the Sun family, it is to seize power in the young generals. Especially Zhou Yu, Sun Ce's little friend. Cheng Pu was completely sure that if his opinion was contrary to Zhou Yu's. Sun Ce definitely chose to fall to Zhou Yu without even hesitation, which is what Cheng Pu and other veterans are most "worried". Therefore, it is easy to see that Zhou Yu's plan seems to be a little flawed. Cheng Pu's idea of relying on the old and selling the old became more and more accessible. After listening to Sun He's words, there was a bit of unclear yin and yang in his mouth, and he squinted and said lightly.

"What Lao Cheng said makes sense!" Han Dang on the side is not a good person, and Cheng Pu is the most kind. After listening to Cheng Pu's words. Han Dang also pursed his lips impatiently, and said, "It is no secret that the Qin thieves have more soldiers and fewer generals this time. Even if the soldiers of Bo Fu are not there, there are a few people such as me, plus the soldiers of this county who have been recuperating for many days, it is difficult to win the long journey, there are chasing soldiers in the back, and there is a strong city in front. Is there someone in Qin who has neither backup nor food and grass? Gong Jin. Are you being too cautious? ”

"General Huang doesn't have anything to say?" Regarding the complaints of Cheng Pu and Han Dang, Zhou Yu has always been listening, looking modest and studious, seeing that Huang Gai, who is one, has not yet found out, Zhou Yu even smiled at Huang Gai, and said without a trace of annoyance.

"In short, it's about the big picture! Gongjin, don't blame Yigong and Demou for saying bad things. This time, Lu Bu's thieves sent Qin Xu to Jiangdong, and a series of plans from me all failed, and several battles were lost one after another. At this moment, the main camp was surrounded by this lone army, and we were also anxious to see if we continued to drag on like this, whether we could really force the Qin thieves back, not to mention, I am afraid that the morale of the soldiers in the city will be affected. "Huang Gai is a rare person among these veterans of the descendant clan who does not reject Zhou Yu very much. Seeing that although the two old brothers of their own family said what they and others were thinking, they were too unparticular about the "art" of speaking. At present, the most important thing is internal strife, which is the so-called disaster within the wall. Therefore, when he saw Zhou Yu asking himself with a smile, Huang Gai simply took out all the thoughts in his heart and said everything.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha ...... "I don't know if Zhou Yu is seriously ill at the moment, or if he agrees with the words of the three veterans, in short, Zhou Yu's signature hearty laughter on weekdays always sounds like a strange feeling of lack of confidence at this moment." However, Zhou Yu's next words made the three Sun veterans feel that this Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang had some plans again.

"What Demou Gong said is right!" Zhou Yuqiang stabilized his slightly swaying body, refused the kindness of the scholar who was standing on the side to come up to support, walked straight to Cheng Pu, punched Cheng Pu to the ground, and said very sincerely: "It was Zhou Yu's miscalculation that led to the current decline of our army." After the return of the lord, he will definitely ask for punishment, and the old general can rest assured of this. It's just that now that the Qin thieves are outside the city, they may attack the city at any time, and I have to say that it is an extremely correct choice to go out of the city to meet the army of Qin Xu, who has no great generals, but the old general has not thought about it, the more this is the case, in fact, the more we can't act rashly. ”

"Huh? Why? Cheng Pu is not a person who does not know the overall situation, seeing that Zhou Yu's words are quite serious, and it seems that there is a lot of truth in his words, pointing to his vague worries in his heart, but he doesn't know what is wrong. Therefore, Cheng Pu asked almost subconsciously.

"Does the general remember Yan Baihu!" Zhou Yu glanced at Sun He, who was a little feverish, and said very seriously: "Have you ever remembered how we took Wu County and Huiji County with less than 1,000 troops?" ”

"Ah!?h Zhou Yu's words were not very loud because of the intense wheezing, but in the ears of Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai, it was like thunder.

"Gong Jin, are you saying that Yan Baihu fled from Yuzhang in a hurry that day, but in fact, there is still a backhand left in the city?" Huang Gai was the first to recover from his thoughts, and asked in a low voice with some hesitation.

Yan Baihu ...... I didn't run away in a hurry! Zhou Yu seemed to be answering Huang Gai's question, and smiled bitterly as if he was a little self-deprecating, and said lightly. (To be continued......)
