Chapter 569: Zhou Yu's Poisonous Plan
Chapter 569: Zhou Yu's Poison Plan (First Update)
Xiangyang.
The once prosperous city is now only depressed. It was not only a part of the people who followed Liu Bei to the south and entered Jiangxia back then.
War was also one of the causes of the depression.
At this time, not to mention street vendors, even shops are mostly closed. Except for the necessities of daily life, the common people do not go out of mén.
The entire city of Xiangyang seemed deserted. On the bustling streets of the past, there are now only occasional Cao soldiers walking or riding horses.
A large number of Cao soldiers will also strengthen the city under the leadership of generals. The already tall city continued to be heightened, almost reaching the height of Luoyang City in the past.
The fortifications at the head of the city are also being built intensively.
This kind of thing is no longer strange to the people.
But today, another Cao army entered Xiangyang. The soldiers were all dressed in armor and spears, and they all looked very jīng. There are 10,000 people.
Surrounded by a banner embroidered with the word "high", it slowly opened into Xiangyang City.
Under the general's banner, there is a general riding a horse, this general's face is extremely serious, but in the depths of his eyes, there is a strong desire to make contributions.
This general was ordered to lead an army of 10,000 to rescue Xiangyang.
Gao Ran's former Hebei generals, second only to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and Hebei famous generals tied with Zhang Jaw. After the defeat of Yuan Shao in Guandu, he went south with Zhang Jaw to defect to Cao Cào.
His former friend Zhang Jaw had already established a great martial arts and was one of the five best generals praised by Cao Cào, and Gao Ran was not bad. With his own ability, he has become an indispensable general in Cao's army.
In the First Battle of Chibi, Gao Lan also went south to Chibi as Cao Cào's general. At that time, my heart was on fire, and I thought that the time had come to make a contribution.
But the result was defeated by Zhou Yu and Liu Bei. was discouraged, and Gao Ran was always haunted in his heart.
Therefore, this time he was ordered to go south, and Gao Ran's heart was full of strength, planning to give Liu Feng an ugly look, block Liu Feng's advance, and even break Liu Feng.
Meritorious service is in this Xiangyang City.
Gao Ran raised his head and glanced at the tall Xiangyang City, handed the spear in his hand to the soldiers next to him, and said to the deputy general: "Order the baggage first." ”
"No." The lieutenant general was ordered to go. Originally, Cao Cào was worried about the safety of Xiangyang City, so he wantonly sent a baggage from the north to Xiangyang, so there was already enough food in Xiangyang City. However, Gao Ran led a large army into the station, which doubled the number of troops.
It reached 25,000 people. Therefore, Cao Cào had to add some baggage.
Gao Ran let the baggage enter the city first, also for the sake of safety. A moment later, under the command of the adjutant general, the baggage cart slowly entered Xiangyang City.
After all the baggage entered, Gao Ran led his troops to Xiangyang.
After entering Xiangyang, Gao Ran sent a deputy general, stationed the army in the colonel field in the city, and led dozens of soldiers to the outside of the Taishou Mansion.
Yu Ban led the generals of the army to greet Gao Lan outside the Taishou Mansion.
These generals are all very strong, and it is obvious that the army commanded by these generals is also a rare jīng rui in Cao's army.
Among them, there are also Zhou Yu and Lu Su.
Zhou Yu's face showed a strange red sè, which looked very sickly. The sunken eyes look dull, but on the inside they are extremely sharp.
At this moment, Zhou Yu is like a dying person, but he has a strange willpower, which persists and allows him to live until now.
Lu Su, who was next to him, raised his head to look at Zhou Yu from time to time, and sighed in his heart.
Zhou Yu's body is really running out of oil, and the purpose of supporting him is to eliminate Liu Feng, both in public and private, Zhou Yu has to eliminate Liu Feng.
"Next, it's up to the general." Yu Ban took the lead and hugged his fist slightly towards Gao Ran.
"Don't dare." Yu Ban is a general of Cao Cào's lineage, with very old qualifications and high prestige. It is not the same level as Gao Ran, and of course Gao Ran does not dare to slack off, and he does not even dare to say.
After saying a word, Gao Ran said again: "General Yu has gone through countless battles in his life, and he is a famous general in the north. How to resist the enemy next, please ask the general to give more instructions. ”
Gao Ran's attitude made Yu Ban very satisfied.
According to Cao Cào's meaning, in this Xiangyang defensive battle, Yu Ban is the boss, but if Gao Lansheng is unruly, it will be difficult to control. I'm afraid it will become a farce of discord between the generals and the handsome.
This is also a matter that the general is very worried about. Now listening to the meaning of Gao Ran, it is really gratifying to ask Vitama to look at it.
Yu Ban nodded towards Gao Lan, and then, turning around and pointing at Zhou Yu, Lu Su said: "This is Zhou Yu, the word Gongjin." He was the governor of the Marquis of Wu. This is Lu Su, the word is respectful, and he is a staff member under Wu Hou's account. ”
"Long admiration." Gao Ran stepped forward to salute.
"Long admiration."
Zhou Yu and Lu Su are also holding fists.
After a few words of greeting, several people walked into the Taishou Mansion under the leadership of Yu Ban.
Although there are many people outside the big mén, they are qualified to enter the hall, and the people who discuss with Yu Ban are Gao Lan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su.
Now Liu Feng's arrogance is fierce, and everyone knows that this is not the time to continue greetings. Therefore, Gao Ran couldn't help but go straight to the point and asked, "I don't know what kind of situation Xiangyang is like now?" ”
"It's still the same, the people are closing the mén windows. Obviously not supporting us. Therefore, only the soldiers were reinforcing the walls. However, since spreading the news that Liu Feng killed his father and killed Liu Bei. The people also had some complaints about Liu Feng. Yu Ban replied with a smile.
"Oh, it seems that the prime minister's strategy still has some effect. Liu Feng really shouldn't have killed Liu Bei. Gao Ran's face showed a look of surprise, and then he showed admiration.
Admiration for Cao Cào's strategy.
"That's right. When I led my army south, the Duke of Ming had just discussed the alliance between the two families with Zhang Wen, the envoy of Sun Quan, Marquis of Wu. Now that the two families have officially formed an alliance, the Duke of Ming not only promised to burden Wu Hou to give Jiangdong the burden to defend against Liu Feng. Also, after the war, Zhou Dudu was also able to pass through the north and return to Jiangdong. Immediately, Gao Ran faced Zhou Yu and Lu Su said.
Originally, Gao Ran would have thought that Zhou Yu and Lu Su would show their joy, but they didn't want to. Zhou Yu's face showed a look of pain, and he asked, "I don't know what Wu Hou promised the prime minister?" ”
"Order General Li Dian to guard the Lujiang River, and send the third son and grandson to enter Xu Du as Langzhong." Gao Ran replied casually.
Lujiang County, and a son. Zhou Yu closed his eyes in pain, what a humiliation this was. Jiangdong was beaten down by Sun Ce little by little.
First he lost the four cities of Chaisang, then tens of thousands of jīng soldiers, and finally even Lujiang was given to Cao Cào. If there is any change, I am afraid that the six counties of Jiangdong will not be able to make up all of them.
Zhou Yu's face was full of pain, which made Lu Su very worried. But now that Yu Ban and Gao Ran are present, Lu Su can only worry.
We can only discuss it after we get back. Lu Su thought to himself.
"Oh? Lujiang County? That's a coincidence. Lei Xu, who was entrenched in the Lujiang area, Chen Lan had just led tens of thousands of troops under his rule and defected to Liu Feng. The current Lujiang River is very peaceful, and once General Li Dian goes, he can easily recover it. Yu Ban didn't have Zhou Yu's pain, but said with a smile.
"Liu Feng has added tens of thousands of steps?" Gao Ran was surprised. That's going to be a lot of people. When I come, I look high
"Yes, according to intelligence, there are 100,000 of them." Yu Ban praised it, but there was no praise on his face, but a little disdain.
"A rabble." Gao Ran is even more direct.
In the eyes of the two of them, Liu Feng's army was inflated, but the ingredients were too mixed. Collected and surrendered tens of thousands of surrendered troops, plus Lei Xu and Chen Lan's army.
The combat effectiveness of this army can be imagined.
On the contrary, whether it is Yu Ban or Gao Lan's army, it is the northern jīng Rui. Even if it was Zhou Yu's army, it was also Jiangdong jīng soldiers.
More than 25,000 people combined, plus the tall and sturdy Xiangyang City. When Liu Feng came, he could only eat closed mén soup.
After Yu Ban and Gao Ran said a few words, they looked at each other and smiled, both of which were relatively relaxed.
Then, after discussing some defensive details, Yu Ban announced the dismissal of the meeting. In the middle, it has almost nothing to do with Zhou Yu and Lu Su.
This is the embarrassment of living in someone else's place. Although Sun Quan had already formed an alliance with Cao Cào, and Cao Cào also agreed to send them back to Jiangdong after the war.
Zhou Yu and Lu Su came to the military camp stationed in the east of the city together after leaving the Taishou Mansion.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the two of them had just sat down. Lu Su said angrily: "What do you say to let us go back to Jiangdong after the war, but in this war, how can Yu Ban let us preserve our strength?" There must be where the danger is to let us go. In the end, it would be nice to have a thousand people left. A thousand? Even if you go back to Jiangdong, what can you do? ”
At the meeting just now, Yu Ban discussed the details with Gao Ran. But Lu Su didn't even have room for a chā mouth, and Lu Su knew that their life in Xiangyang would definitely not be easy.
"Rest easy." Zhou Yu looked very calm, and said lightly to the angry Lu Su.
"Gongjin, how can you be so calm? You must know that Marquis Wu gave Lujiang County to Cao Cào, plus the third son. This time we really lost badly. Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu's calm and abnormal face and couldn't help asking.
"After the big defeat, after deciding to come to Xiangyang. I knew it was going to happen. Isn't Zijing? Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.
"Hey." Lu Su was like a deflated ball, and he no longer had the strength to speak.
"I never thought of going back to Jiangdong, what I can do now is here, under Xiangyang City, to face Liu Feng fiercely, let Liu Feng suffer heavy losses at all costs, and buy a little more time for Wu Hou to recover. Let the forces of Cao, Sun, and Liu temporarily restore the balance. In this way, Koto can be saved. As long as I can keep Jiangdong, I, Zhou Yu, will be willing to die here. Zhou Yu's emotions suddenly became excited.
Obviously, it was only Zhou Yu's appearance that was calm just now, and deep down, Zhou Yu was very uncalm, extremely uncalm.
Because he was too excited, Zhou Yu's face became even more cháo, almost dripping blood. Lu Su next to him was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Gong Jin, don't be excited, don't be excited." ”
Zhou Yu also knew that he was too excited, and it might lead to the consequences of being ill. Therefore, under Lu Su's persuasion, he slowly restored some calm.
After a long time, Zhou Yu's face slowly recovered, Zhou Yu raised his head and smiled bitterly at Lu Su, and said: "Zijing has seen it, my body is finished, if I can defeat Liu Feng in Xiangyang, I may be able to live a little longer, if this Xiangyang City is broken, it will be my death." ”
"Gong Jin, don't think about it, we will definitely be able to defeat Liu Feng under this Xiangyang City. When the time comes, Gongjin will return to Jiangdong with me to recuperate. In a few months, he will recover. Lu Su looked at Mei Zhoulang, who was high-spirited in the past, and became so haggard, that he couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his heart. But on the surface, Lu Su was still very optimistic and tried his best to persuade him.
Zhou Yu smiled noncommittally, he knew his body that he was really dying. However, before the battle of Xiangyang was decided, Zhou Yu would never allow himself to go.
He also wants to see how Liu Feng was defeated.
100,000 people. The rabble. Zhou Yu didn't care about Liu Feng's army as much as Yu Ban and Gao Lan.
When it comes to the future of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu is very worried. Raising his head and glancing at Lu Su, Zhou Yu made a decision in his heart. No matter what the battle of Xiangyang is, he must not be able to go back to Jiangdong. But Lu Su must go back.
Koto's future depends on him. Zhou Yu secretly made a decision in his heart.
"Well, I'll definitely be able to go back to Koto." On his face, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and responded to Lu Sudao. But after a while, Zhou Yu's face became extremely hideous again, and said, "But before that, you still have to eliminate Liu Feng first." ”
"Yes, if Liu Feng is undefeated, then even if we go back to Jiangdong, we will be wiped out by him sooner or later." Lu Su nodded fiercely.
In the past, the little princes who only owned Jiangxia were not even princes. Now it has become a problem for their henchmen.
That powerful danger made Jiangdong, which was originally under the management of the third generation of the Sun family, extremely strong, extremely dangerous. It's like a big ship moving on the sea, and it's supposed to be very strong. Fiercely encountered a hurricane named Liu Feng, and it turned out to be in tatters.
If you can't make it, then it's all over.
"I don't know if Zijing still remembers, in this Xiangyang City, there is Liu Fengyue's family." Zhou Yu's hideous face suddenly showed a smile and said to Lu Su.
"Cai Mao?" Lu Su hesitated.
"To Cai Mao. Cao cào spread the news of Liu Feng's murder of his father and gave me a little reminder. In this Xiangyang City, there is still Liu Feng's father-in-law. If Liu Feng's troops come to the city, we will use Cai Mao as a threat. If Liu Feng retreats, then we can keep Xiangyang, and when Cao Cào recovers, we can go south again. But if Liu Feng doesn't retreat, he will ignore his father-in-law's life. Coupled with the murder of his father Liu Bei in front, Liu Feng is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. Zhou Yu said almost word by word, the monstrous hatred, the monstrous determination. all show that he wants to build Liu Feng into a cold-blooded and ruthless butcher.
Let Liu Feng become an unfilial person who is pointed out by Wanfu and scolded by the world.
