Chapter Ninety-Seven: Reunion
"Bothering Wu Hou?" On Zhou Yu's handsome face, a touch of confusion flashed, but then, that blankness turned into a knowing smile.
"The name of the phoenix chick is indeed worthy of its name."
Zhou Yu let out a heartfelt exclamation, and then happily returned to the front of the case, picked up the pen and wrote a letter, handed it to Pang Tong, and said with a smile: "I command the three armies, and I can't spare my body for the time being, so I will take a trip and hand over this letter to Wu Hou by hand." If Wu Hou asks about the reason, he will ask Mr. to explain it on his behalf. ”
Pang Tong took the silk book and quickly glanced at it, the corners of his shriveled mouth showed a smile, at this moment, although he smiled and did not speak, but he also sighed in his heart: Sun Bofu left such a Kuang Shi wizard to Wu Hou, it was really his luck.
The content of Zhou Yu's letter was very simple, that is, he asked Sun Quan, who was in Chaisang, to return east immediately and lead Wu Hui's troops to attack Hefei in the north.
On the eastern front, if the Wu people wanted to enter the Central Plains, they had to take Xuzhou as their advance base, and if they wanted to take Xuzhou, they had to take Huainan first. If the Wu people want to attack and drink Ma Huai water to seize the important town of Shouchun, the most convenient waterway is to go upriver from the mouth of the water, enter the Chaohu Lake, transfer to the fertilizer water through the application of water, and can reach the city of Shouchun directly after passing the peony.
Hefei is a city located at the junction of water application and fertilizer water. In terms of topography, the west of Hefei is the uplift zone at the eastern end of the Dabie Mountains, and the east of Hefei is scattered with ridges and peaks such as Langxi Mountain, which is quite high. The bee waist section of the Jianghuai hills is near the Jiangjun Ridge in the west of Hefei, where the waterway and the land route along the river pass through, and the city of Hefei is located on such a narrow channel, which naturally becomes the throat of the water and land roads in the north and south.
In the early years, Cao Ying appointed Liu Fu as the assassin of Yangzhou, and took Hefei as the state rule, and this person relied on operating in Hefei for several years, so that Hefei initially had the prototype of the southeast barrier. At that time, the Sun family had been busy quelling the internal rebellion in Jiangdong, and it was too late to get involved in Jiangbei, and because of Liu Fu, he did not dare to despise Hefei.
But not long ago, this Liu Fu died of illness at the critical moment when Cao Ying's army went south, and the defenders of Hefei City at the moment were less than thousands, which could be said to be extremely empty.
Pang Tong's plan to "bother Wu Hou" was to let Sun Quan lead the remaining mobile troops of Eastern Wu to launch an attack on Lujiang and other counties in Jiangbei on the eastern front, and directly threaten Hefei. And after losing the strong backing and support of Cao Ying, Cao Ren of Gangneung will fall into the situation of fighting alone, and will be hit hard both in terms of momentum and actual tactics.
Pang Tong just said the four words "tired Wu Hou", Zhou Yu immediately understood the deep meaning, and immediately drew up a set of battle plans for Sun Quan to send troops to the southeast.
However, in addition to appreciation, Pang Tong still had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Metropolitan Governor, such a confidential matter, the Metropolitan Governor entrusted me to report it to Wu Hou, I'm afraid it has other intentions."
Zhou Yu smiled, his handsome face was like a spring breeze, and he didn't hide what he thought in his heart, and said bluntly: "Mr. has the talent of heaven and earth, and it is really a bit condescending to stay under my account to be a staff member, so, hehe-"
Although Zhou Yu did not say it, Pang Tong already understood his good intentions, he wanted to recommend himself to Sun Quan and let Sun Quan reuse him.
"Then I thank the governor for his kindness." Although he was grateful, at this moment, Pang Tong's heart quietly swelled up with a little sigh.
As soon as the words fell, a personal soldier entered the tent and presented a piece of information that had just been delivered to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu took it apart and looked at it, his face couldn't help but show a little strangeness, and muttered: "I didn't expect it to be so fast, it's really a bit of a surprise." ”
"I wonder what would surprise the Governor?" Pang Tong put away the secret letter, and was going to leave, but when he saw Zhou Yu's surprised face, he asked curiously and casually.
"Sir, see for yourself."
Zhou Yu handed the information to Pang Tong, he took it and looked at it, looking at it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flash a knowing smile.
"This Liu Feng was not named before, but I didn't expect this kid to have some ability, he won Changsha within ten days, and he went down without a fight, well, Liu Xuande's ability to recognize people is really worthy of his reputation, and this fake son is not in vain." Although Zhou Yu was appreciating Liu Feng, the implication was that he despised his identity a little.
This young man is far from being as simple as you think, and he will impress you even more in the near future. ’
When Pang Tong sighed in his heart, his face showed the same look of surprise: "It is reported that there is a veteran Huang Hansheng in Changsha, this person has a lot of ability to use soldiers, and this Liu Gongzi can go to Changsha for ten years, which is indeed a little incredible." ”
"Although this Huang Zhong is good, he is just a fierce general, but it's a pity that Han Xuan is a straw bag who doesn't know soldiers, and there is still suspicion between the two, so it is not difficult to easily take Changsha with a little trick." Between Zhou Yu's words, he seemed to know Changsha well.
Pang Tong followed his words and said strangely: "The governor is even familiar with the contradictions between Han and Huang, and it seems that he has already understood the details of Changsha. ”
Zhou Yu sighed softly: "Actually, it's not just Changsha, I have already sent people to investigate the four counties of Jingnan in detail, and I originally planned to divide the troops to get it, but I didn't expect Cao Ren to be so tenacious, if it weren't for this, how could I be cheap Liu Xuande." ”
"Why should the governor regret it, the importance of Jingzhou lies in Nanjun, as long as the governor defeats Nanjun, it is equivalent to imprisoning Liu Xuande in the four counties of Jingnan, and at that time, even if it is a generation of heroes, I am afraid that I will have to retire in that kind of remote place and wait for death." Pang Tong said with a sneer.
Zhou Yu was stunned at first, and then laughed and said, "Those who know me, sir." Liu Xuande thought that he could fish in mixed waters and reap the benefits of fishermen, but my Dongwu's advantage was not so easy to take advantage of, hehe-"
The big tent in the middle of the night is full of a mysterious atmosphere.
When the light of day was bright, Pang Tong took Zhou Yu's letter to Wu Hou, took a leaf to take a walk, and embarked on the road to Chaisang in the east. At this time, the Yangtze River channel east of Yiling has been completely based on Dongwu, all the way unimpeded, and after a few days of dusk, Pang Tong arrived at Baqiu smoothly. Crossing Baqiu means that the journey is almost halfway through, and Pang Tong intends to rest here for the night and continue along the river east tomorrow morning.
At this time, Baqiu has become a transit point for the logistics and transportation of the Sun-Liu coalition army, and the transport fleet of the Wu army attacking Jiangling went back to Jiangxi through here, while the Liu transport ship from Jiangxia went south to Xiangshui to supply grain and grass for the soldiers of the four counties in the south.
A leaf slowly sailed into the endless flow of ships in Baqiu Harbor, Pang Tong stood on the bow of the ship, and his mind was surging like the lively port.
As he approached the trestle, he suddenly saw a man in a white horse and silver robe waving to him on the trestle, and his eyes were blurred by the light of the slanting sun, and he couldn't see the man's face clearly for a while.
When it was time for the walker to dock, the man rode his horse and called out in a loud voice, "Mr. Shiyuan, don't come unharmed." ”
That familiar but distant voice shocked Pang Tong's heart.
