Danyang County.

Cheng Pu sat on the throne with a haggard expression, his eyes were bloodshot with thick sadness, confused, helpless, and painful, at this moment, he didn't look like a commander of an army leading thousands of troops, but more like a centenarian who was about to die.

Thinking that at the beginning, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao followed Sun Jian to fight in the east and west, and they were invincible, how high-spirited? It's a pity that time has passed, Zu Mao was beheaded by Xiliang when he was beheading Dong, Sun Jian was killed by Huang Zu's general when he attacked Xiangyang, and now, Han Dang and Huang Gai have also left, leaving Cheng Pu alone and living alone in this world, how can others understand the sadness and sadness in his heart?

On the left side of Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu and Wu Jing sat in turn, and on the right were Ling Cao, Deng Dang and Lu Meng.

Cheng Pu's eyes glanced around lightly, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

A year ago, Jiangdong was still full of talents, and the fierce generals were like clouds, but today, a year later, there are only a few figures left in the empty lobby, how sad is this?

Jinfan Wang Chong!

This bastard, who seemed to suddenly pop out of a crack in the stone last year, is the culprit who caused all this tragedy, if it weren't for him, why would Jiangdong be reduced to such a state today?

Cheng Pu's hatred for Wang Chong has almost gone deep into the bone marrow, more than ten days ago, Cheng Pu had the opportunity to get rid of this scourge, but in the end he was single-handedly killed out of the encirclement, Cheng Pu was very annoyed, because he knew that maybe there would never be such an opportunity again in the future.

Looking down at the letter sent by Sun Quan on the table, Cheng Pu's heart was as heavy as if a boulder had been pressed, and he sighed and said, "Let's talk about it, how can we drive Jinfan out of Danyang County within a month?" ”

"......" was dead silent, no one said anything, even Zhou Yu also lowered his head, at a loss, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Long. Ling Cao couldn't bear it, pouted and complained: "The lord is really, now that Jinfan is powerful, Gan Ning has also led his troops north to Danyang." Whether we can win this battle is a question, and how can we drive Jinfan out of Danyang within a month? ”

Zhou Yu frowned, glared at Ling Cao, and admonished, "General Ling." Be careful! ”

For Zhou Yu, Ling Cao was still more respectful, so he didn't fight back, but just pinned his head to the side angrily.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu could only sigh gloomily in his heart, in the final analysis, Sun Quanchu was in power, and his prestige in the army was still too shallow, plus since the war with Jinfan, Jiangdong had lost more and won less. There were countless casualties, and the generals under his command were already holding back their anger, but who would have thought that at this time, Sun Quan would come out again and drive Jinfan out of Danyang within a month? With such an unrealistic request, it is no wonder that Ling Cao is dissatisfied.

However, as a courtier, Zhou Yu tried his best to defend Sun Quan: "Although the lord's move is a bit difficult for a strong man, General Ling also has to be more considerate of the lord's difficulties!" ”

Facing Ling Cao's puzzled gaze, Zhou Yu explained lightly: "General Ling can know that the lord has recruited troops in Wu County before. Why did it take so much trouble to raise 5,000 young people? ”

Ling Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked impatiently, "What does Zhou Hujun want to say?" ”

"People's hearts!" Lu Meng, who was at the end, said, "What Zhou Hujun means is that I, Jiangdong, am gradually losing the hearts of the people!" ”

"That's right!" Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Meng appreciatively. With a solemn expression, he said, "Right now, my Jiangdong is in turmoil, and the people have gradually stopped trusting the Sun family, so when the lord issued a notice of recruitment, even if the treatment was excellent, there were few responders. There are also the family of wall grass, their minds are afraid that they have already been active, although they are still in a state of wait-and-see, but once they find that we have gone, they will definitely rise up and fall to Jinfan! ”

"This ......" Ling Cao's face changed, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

Zhou Yu paused and continued: "The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be for us, if we can't drive Jinfan away as soon as possible, the confidence of the people and the family in us will become weaker and weaker, and the balance in our hearts will be more and more tilted towards Jinfan, Wang Chongzheng has seen through this, so these days he will let us provoke and hold on to himself, General Ling, now, you should always understand why the lord is so anxious, right?" ”

Ling Cao's face was flushed by Zhou Yu's words, and he said hesitantly: "Having said that, is Zhou Hujun sure that he will expel Jinfan within a month?" ”

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Jinfan's soldiers and horses are not much less than ours, if they have been hiding in Stone City and refusing to come out, we have nothing to do with them!" ”

Wu Jingdao: "Can't you force them out?" For example, turn to attack Moling or Niuzhu, or even go south to ambush Ganning? ”

Zhou Yu denied: "Whether it is Niu Zhu or Moling, it is not something that can be attacked in one breath, Wang Chong can be arranged calmly, Liu Ye's wisdom should not be underestimated, playing with fire, it is very likely, as for Gan Ning, his purpose is to take the land of Danyang, and he will not come to our side for the time being, so it is not realistic to ambush him!" ”

Ling Cao patted the palm of his left hand on the back of his right hand, and said irritably: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should we do!?" ”

"Actually, it's not that there is no way, it's just that I really don't dare to bet!" Zhou Yu sighed helplessly, "Ziheng seems to have tens of thousands of troops on his side, but five thousand are the family's private soldiers, and five thousand are newly recruited young and strong, all of them are rabble, and they are not of great use...... I'm afraid it's really going to be in the bag! ”

Hearing this, everyone was silent, and their hearts became heavier, because their hands almost controlled the life and death of the entire Jiangdong.

Cheng Pu said: "In this way, if we are not completely sure, we can no longer act rashly? ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "This is the biggest drawback of having concerns, it is like an ambush war with the whole army dispatched like last time, even if we are given this opportunity now, do we dare to take such a risk?" No, we don't dare, because we can't afford to lose anymore! ”

Wu Jing took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Then how can this battle continue?" ”

"I can't fight anymore!" Zhou Yu took over the topic, and his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, "For today's plan, the best way is actually to make peace with Jinfan!" ”

"Peace!? Absolutely not!! Cheng Pu immediately exploded when he heard this, slapped the case, and said angrily, "Gongjin, have you forgotten how the righteous father and the public overturned died tragically?" If I don't take revenge, I will never give up!! (To be continued.) )
