Chapter 263: The World Drops a Pie?
Chaohu Lake.
On the huge building boat, the big flag with the word "Zhou" is still fluttering in the wind.
Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
Zhou Yu was lying on the bed, his breath was dying, and his expression was gloomy.
From time to time, he would cough heavily, each time as if it was consuming what little life he had left.
In that battle to wash away grievances, he suffered in the rain for several hours with his sick body, although he had the last laugh, but the invasion of that heavy rain also caused him to suffer heavy injuries.
The generals on the left and right all stood on the side of the couch, silent.
Just a few days ago, they were full of enthusiasm to follow Zhou Lang and achieve great things.
At this moment, the blood was extinguished by Zhou Lang's fall.
Zhou Yu is their hope, and if their hope is extinguished, where will their future be?
After another burst of coughing, Zhou Yu's groggy mind seemed to be awakened.
With the support of his nephew Zhou Jun, he struggled to sit up against the bed rail, glanced at the generals, and asked weakly: "What happened to the war in Jiangdong?" β
Ling Tong took a step forward and said silently: "Governor Yudu, Lu Xun and the others rose up to welcome Liu Feng, Wu Hou was cornered and had already surrendered Liu Feng, and now the entire Jiangdong is his." β
"So fast...... Well...... It seems that I really didn't mistake this Liu Feng ......" Zhou Yu didn't seem surprised, as if the development of the situation today was already in his expectation.
After the previous victory in the Battle of Chaohu, he had hoped to lead his army into the Yangtze River and seize Jiangdong first.
However, it was precisely because of his illness that tens of thousands of Wu troops were leaderless and could only stop at Chaohu Lake and watch Liu Feng "steal" the fruits of their victory.
"Uncle, you are not feeling well now, it is better for us to return to Hefei for the time being, and after you have recovered your body, we will go south to fight for Jiangdong." Nephew Zhou Jun persuaded with a worried face.
Zhou Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "My life is short, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the fattening." β
"The Governor ......" the generals were shocked.
Zhou Yu waved his hand to signal them to take a break, and then gasped and said: "As soon as I die, Liu Feng will raise a large army to attack Lianghuai in the north, and you are not allowed to make any more senseless resistance, and all of them will surrender to him." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Ling Tong hurriedly said: "How can we surrender without a fight?" β
Zhou Yu frowned and said: "Today, except for me, no one is that Liu Feng's opponent, if you resist, it can only be a senseless sacrifice." β
After these words, all the generals fell silent.
He was absolutely right.
Guan Yu, Cao Ren, Lu Su, Cao Hong...... How many famous generals in the world were defeated under Liu Feng's men, and now this young male lord is even more dominant in half of the world in the south of the Yangtze River, and even Cao Ying and Liu Bei are afraid of him.
Ling Tong and them, although they think they are brave, if they follow Zhou Yu, they still have some confidence. Zhou Yu is gone, and no one among them dares to claim that they can provoke a battle between Daliang and Liu Feng.
Ling Tong clenched his fists hatefully, his joints were squeaking, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even so, if I bow down to myself, I am unwilling, unwilling!" β
At this time, his nephew Zhou Jun also said: "Uncle, isn't there no room for redemption?" β
"Room for redemption ......"
Zhou Yu, who was dying, frowned for a long time and sighed: "If you are really unwilling, I have a plan here to let you make a last stand." β
The mood of the generals was immediately uplifted.
Zhou Yu's spirit became more and more depressed, and he could only insist on saying: "It's just that whether this plan can succeed depends on the will of God." But you have to promise me that if the plan fails, don't make useless resistance, and bow down to Liu Feng, I believe that with his mind, he will never embarrass you. β
"We'll keep in mind the governor's instructions." Ling Tong promised Zhou Yu on behalf of the generals.
Zhou Yu nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "You all come here with your ears." β
#####ζΏ‘ι‘»ε£.
40,000 Jingzhou troops, Wen Ping, Zhang Ren and other generals are all gathered here, Liu Feng is planning to fight a fierce battle with Zhou Yujun in Chaohu here.
Although the two parties agreed before that they would discuss Sun Quan together and divide Sun Quan equally. However, everyone knows that it is just a stopgap agreement.
If the positions are reversed, Liu Feng believes, Zhou Yu will do the same.
It's just that Liu Feng couldn't guess why Zhou Yu and his army stayed in Chaohu Lake for such a long time, without fighting or retreating.
"Zhou Lang, Zhou Lang, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
In the wet dock, Liu Feng was full of suspicions.
At this moment, the soldiers came to report, saying that they were Zhou Yu's messengers, and his nephew Zhou Jun had arrived.
"It seems that Zhou Lang finally can't sit still." Liu Fengxiao glanced left and right, waved his hand and said, "Please let him in." β
After a while, the young man who had a relationship with Liu Feng slowly walked into the tent, and when Liu Feng saw him clearly, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Zhou Jun in front of him, dressed in plain clothes, wrapped in black yarn on his arms, looked gloomy and sad.
With such a look of attire, not only Liu Feng, but also the generals on the left and right all showed different colors.
"Gongyan, you are ......," Liu Fengqi said.
Zhou Jun bowed his hand and said in a heavy tone: "Uncle Gongjin died of illness a few days ago, and Jun came to mourn General Liu on the orders of his uncle. β
Zhou Yu!
He's dead!
Nuoda's military tent was silent in an instant.
This news was indeed like thunder on a sunny day, and everyone was shocked.
Liu Feng's face could not hide his surprise, he hurriedly helped Zhou Jun up, with a sad face, and sighed: "I just want to have a good time with Gong Jin, talking about the world, who wants to be so ruthless, alas...... People can't be resurrected after death, so please mourn in public strictness. β
During the Battle of Jiangling that year, Zhou Yu was wounded by an arrow, and he also deceived Cao Ren by pretending to die of illness.
Right now, at such a delicate point in time, Zhou Yu died suddenly, which had to make Liu Feng suspicious, but in front of Zhou Jun, this sad scene still had to be done.
Zhou Jun straightened up, sighed for a long time, and then said: "Uncle left a testament before he died, saying that General Liu is the true master of life, so he ordered us to wait for the old department, and return to General Liu with the land of Lianghuai, and hope that General Liu will not give up and can take us in." β
This news was even more exciting than the one just now, and Liu Feng was so excited that he almost laughed out loud.
The land of the two Huai, just giving it to yourself in vain, this is simply a huge pie in the world.
If this is true, then Liu Feng will not only easily extend the border to Xuzhou without spending a single soldier, but can form a flanking attack on Luoyang from Xuzhou and Nanyang at the same time.
Moreover, he also got forty or fifty thousand elite divisions of Eastern Wu for no reason, as well as Ling Tong, Jiang Qin and other Eastern Wu generals.
Zhou Yu, you really sealed me Liu, and left me such a big inheritance before you died, which made me a little embarrassed.
Liu Feng's heart was so excited, but this did not affect his calmness.
Trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, Liu Feng pretended to be surprised and said: "How can I be so virtuous, how can I be so trusted by Zhou Lang, and I am strict, this kind of joke can't be made." β
Zhou Jun suddenly fell to the ground and said sincerely: "This is my uncle's deathbed, how dare I joke about this." The uncle also said that he hoped that General Liu would leave a place for his son Shaogongzi, and if so, his spirit in heaven would rest in peace. β
The "son of Zi Shao" mentioned by Zhou Jun is Sun Shao, the son of Sun Ce.
Before he died, he did not forget to keep a prosperous life for the son of his old friend, and Zhou Yu was also benevolent and righteous to Sun Ce.
Seeing Zhou Jun so sincere and sad, when it came to this, Liu Feng couldn't help but not believe it.
He helped Zhou Jun up, and said with a straight face: "Since it is Gongjin's deathbed trust, then I can only be respectful and obey my fate." I will now order that the seven counties of Jiangdong will be used as Zishao's food town, if I can't ensure his glory and wealth for the rest of his life, I, Liu Feng, will be thundered by the sky. β
Hearing Liu Feng's assurance, Zhou Jun's expression calmed down, and he solemnly said, "Thank you, General." β
At that moment, Liu Feng settled Zhou Jun, and then sent Chen Zhen to Chaohu Wu Jun to discuss the matter of returning to Shun, and on the other hand, to find out whether Zhou Yu was really dead.
#####ε 倩δΉε, Chen Zhen returned.
"Congratulations to my lord, Zhou Lang has indeed returned to heaven."
Chen Zhen was excited and joyful, and told the news that Zhou Lang was dead, and after saying it, he felt that this word was a little inappropriate, so he smiled.
Liu Feng was in high spirits and asked, "Can you see clearly?" β
Chen Zhen nodded and said, "I can see it clearly, and I also took advantage of the time to worship and quietly test the pulse of the body, Zhou Lang is indeed dead." β
After hearing his words, Liu Fengchang breathed a sigh of relief.
When he confirmed that Zhou Yu was dead, he was excited, but he was also a little embarrassed.
If it weren't for the different camps, Liu Feng believed that he could definitely become a confidant with Zhou Yu.
It's a pity that the world is impermanent, and many things can only be good wishes.
Chen Zhen continued: "Ling Tong of Eastern Wu escorted Zhou Lang's body south first, back to Jiangdong for burial, and the rest of the Wu army officers and soldiers will temporarily stay in Chaohu Lake and wait for the subsequent incorporation of the lord. β
Liu Feng nodded and said, "If the funeral boat arrives, I must personally get on the boat to pay homage to Zhou Lang." β
Whether it is to win people's hearts or out of personal admiration for Zhou Yu, it is very necessary to do so.
"Then I'll go again now, and arrange all kinds of matters with Ling Tong and the others first."
Chen Zhen immediately resigned.
At this time, all the generals in the tent were excited, but only one young man looked silent and seemed to be thoughtful.
That person was Lu Xun.
Previously, when Lu Xun surrendered according to Jianye, Liu Feng was overjoyed and immediately named him the general of Anbei.
However, after all, Lu Xun was newly surrendered, and Liu Feng could not give him all his trust, so he took Lu Xun with him in the name of fighting against Zhou Yu. At the same time, he temporarily appointed Pang Tong to concurrently serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, and asked him to go to Jianye to preside over various matters such as pacification and surrender.
Lu Xun's unusual performance naturally couldn't escape Liu Feng's eyes, so he asked, "Bo Yan, do you still have doubts about this matter?" β
