Chapter 178 Pre-War Exercises

Zhou Yu is talented, which is recognized by ancient and modern people.

Zhou Yu is serious, not only serious, but extremely focused.

As long as he approves of things and thinks must be done, he must do them well and do them to the extreme.

Let's just talk about this campaign to investigate the traitors in the army, as soon as Zhou Yu received the information from the chief of the guard, he immediately linked Ding Feng, Lu Meng, Lu Su, and Jiang Gan's "mutiny" behavior with the death of the army and the country, so he was frightened and sweated, so he decided that he must handle this matter well, so he handed over everything else to Ding Feng Zhou Tai to deal with, and focused on guiding the investigation of the traitor movement.

Under his guidance and attention, the inventory team developed a rigorous work plan, which stipulated that the campaign would be carried out in two steps.

The first step is to find out the main traitor and imprison him for review, the day before yesterday this step has been completed, Lu Suding Feng Jiang Gan and more than a dozen servants have been beaten and imprisoned as traitors.

The second step is to start digging deep into the work of traitors in the whole army, requiring everyone to pass the test, supervise each other, and once a suspected traitor is found, no matter who it is, immediately detain him.

Now, this second step of the work is being carried out intensively.

Zhou Yu, the governor of the three armies of Eastern Wu, has been in waste for the past few days, and the dedicated instructor has been working to investigate the internal traitor movement, and there is still a heart to take into account the life and combat work of the 40,000 or 50,000 horses in the battalion.

On the morning of the third day when Xu Shu left the Wu Bing camp after eating and drinking, Zhou Yu was observing the interrogation of the suspect by the review team in the military affairs tent, and the sentry outside the door sent a letter, saying that the letter was sent by the Jingzhou scout.

Zhou Yu asked where the scout went, and the sentry said, after handing the letter in, he turned around and left.

When Zhou Yu hurriedly opened the letter and read it, he saw that it was a challenge letter sent by Liu Cong, which said that the Jingzhou soldiers had been invincible and invincible since they went on the expedition for more than a month.

In the battle a few days ago, if it wasn't for the fact that the governor fled quickly, he would have already become a prisoner of our army.

The Metropolitan Governor is really incompetent, because he failed in battle, he doesn't think about his own command mistakes, he doesn't look for his own reasons, but he puts the blame on his subordinates.

I heard that the Metropolitan Governor is investigating the traitors these days, this is a big mistake, Ding Feng, Lusu, Jiang Gan, and Lu Meng are all loyal officials, and the Metropolitan Governor persecuted them for no reason, which will definitely inspire the rebellion of the Eastern Wu soldiers, and if this continues, Eastern Wu will be destroyed in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor himself.

When Zhou Yu saw this, he felt that Liu Cong's words were reasonable, but because Liu Cong was reasonable, he became more and more firm in his understanding, and Ding Feng, Lusu and others surrendered to Liu Cong, so they strengthened their determination to do a good job in the investigation of internal moles.

However, when Zhou Yu looked down again, he was taken aback, only to see that the letter said: "Liu Cong has taken more than a month since he set out on the expedition, although he has won several battles, but he has not been able to shake the foundation of Jiangdong, and he has not been able to arrest Sun Quan and other anti-thieves. ”

When Zhou Yu read this, he immediately became vigilant, thought about it, and felt that he couldn't fight Liu Cong: "I still act according to the established policy, garrison the camp, and respond to all changes with the same." ”

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu replied to Liu Cong regardless of it, and immediately ordered the civil and military officials and the traitor investigation team to come over for a meeting.

At the end of the meeting, Zhou Yu made two decisions, one is that the inventory team should speed up its work and find out the traitors hidden in the army as soon as possible, and the other is to order Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Lingtong and Zhu Ran to lead troops to hold the camp and prepare to resist the attack of Jingzhou soldiers.

Early the next morning, the Eastern Wu soldiers were waiting for the battle, and a large number of crossbowmen were placed behind Luchai, bending their bows and arrows, waiting for the Jingzhou soldiers to attack.

However, it was not until the time had passed that a team of men and horses came out of Wuchang City, but it was three or five thousand people, and more than a dozen generals in front of them were riding on horses, and there was a trumpet flag in the horse team, because the team was loose and sloppy, and the trumpet flag was not unfolded, so it was impossible to see who it would be.

This team came loosely to the Wu soldiers' camp half a mile away, then stopped, and then reassembled, and divided into ten large groups, each group was led by a horseback lieutenant general, and approached the Wu soldiers' camp.

But he did not come near the camp, but only went beyond the range of the crossbow, and then turned back, and returned to his place to rest and rest.

Zhou Yu and Zhu Ran stood in the camp and saw the actions of the Jingzhou soldiers, and they were all suspicious, and they didn't know what tricks Liu Cong was doing.

Because he didn't understand Liu Cong's intentions, Zhou Yu didn't send troops out to fight until the evening.

To tell the truth, because he had suffered the losses of Liu Cong's lure troops a few times before, Zhou Yu had already made up his mind that no matter how the Jingzhou soldiers performed outside, as long as they didn't come to attack the Wu soldiers' camp, they would definitely not go out of the camp to fight.

However, at this moment, with the sound of a cannon, two teams drove over, one poured out from Wuchang City, and the other poured out from Zhao Yun's camp, both teams looked like there were 10,000 or 20,000 people, Zhou Yu saw it, and said to himself in surprise: "Liu Cong is going to fight at night." ”

Zhou Yu was thinking like this, only to see that the men and horses coming out of Wuchang City had been lined up in an offensive formation at this time, the shield soldiers were walking in front, the crossbowmen followed up, the main infantry behind came with spears and horizontal swords, and finally the horse team with the generals,

When Zhou Yu took a closer look, he saw a big Liu character embroidered on the flag fluttering between the horse teams, so Zhou Yu opened his mouth and shouted in a low voice: "It's really Liu Cong who personally led the troops over." ”

I saw that this pair of Jingzhou soldiers and horses had not yet started, and the formation remembered the sound of the drums, which shook the mountain, and with the sound of the drums, the Jingzhou soldiers slapped the square team, and killed the Wu soldiers camp with great vigor.

When Zhou Yu saw it, he ordered in a loud voice: "But when the Jingzhou soldiers enter the firing range, shoot arrows immediately and kill them back." ”

However, when the Jingzhou army advanced beyond the firing range, it sounded the gong, and the gong sounded, and the Jingzhou soldier phalanx brushed all of a sudden, made a big turn, and kept the original formation and walked the same way.

Then, a team of Jingzhou soldiers who came out of Zhao Yun's camp also walked like this and returned to live in the same place.

The two teams of Jingzhou soldiers seem to be in a military parade.

Zhou Yu saw it, although he was confused, he still held the camp, and chased and killed without leaving the camp.

At this time, the night gradually became hazy, and when Zhou Yu stared carefully, he saw that the thousands of Jingzhou soldiers who had gone out of the city for the first time to patrol had already withdrawn to the city, and the remaining two teams of men and horses were actually lit up with countless lanterns, and they stayed in place, 178
