Zhou Yu got up and made a big salute to Wang Chong, from this moment on, Zhou Yu will truly become a member of Jinfan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info [full text reading]
"Gongjin doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" Wang Chong hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Yu up, held Zhou Yu's hand excitedly, and said in high spirits, "With Gongjin's help, why should I Jinfan worry about the great cause?" ”
"The lord praises it!"
Immediately, the two sat down again, Zhou Yu poured the tea in Wang Chong's cup with a pot, poured it for himself, took a sip lightly, and asked with a smile: "This time, how many soldiers and horses does the last general plan to recruit in Jiangdong?" After all, as the governor of Jiangdong, if the last general does not have a single soldier under his command, it is really unreasonable, right? ”
"I don't plan to let Gong Jin recruit troops among the people for the time being!" Facing Zhou Yu's puzzled gaze, Wang Chong smiled faintly and explained, "Now in my Jinfan army, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers, I believe that with Gongjin's prestige in the Jiangdong army, it should not be a big problem to subdue this group of people, in addition, my Jinfan is very anxious to attack Jiangdong this time, and I have not forcibly recruited private soldiers from the local families in Wu County and Huiji County, Gongjin can send people to ask for it, I estimate that these private soldiers add up, how can there be twenty or thirty thousand, right?" ”
Begging for a family privateer? This is clearly for him to offend people.
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "The lord is really a problem for the general!" ”
"Gong Jin, don't be soft-hearted!" Wang Chong solemnly reminded, "Most of these families are very cunning, and they may deliberately disband their private soldiers and let them disguise themselves as ordinary farmers and secretly hide their armor blades in order to get by!" ”
Zhou Yu nodded thoughtfully, Jin Fan's toughness towards the family, he had already heard of it: "What does the lord hope to do?" ”
Wang Chong said: "Warn them, if they are found to be hiding afterwards, they should be punished for the crime of rebellion, I believe that with Gongjin's understanding of the Jiangdong family, if they really dare to play any tricks in front of you, it is tantamount to digging their own grave!" ”
Zhou Yu smiled and promised: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is related to how many soldiers and horses the last general can command in the future." The last general should be cautious! ”
"That's good!" Wang Chong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, in fact, he was really afraid that Zhou Yu would not be used to their Jinfan's methods, "When the time comes." Gong Jin only needs to report a number, and I will send someone to send a supply of logistics into your barracks!" ”
Zhou Yu asked, "Where is the lord going to let the last general station?" ”
"Let's go to the Hukou camp, my brother has transferred all the soldiers and horses, and the empty camp is just right for you to use!"
"What about the generals? Who does the lord plan to assign to the last general? ”
Wang Chong pondered for a moment. said: "In addition to the few generals under your original command, I will arrange Gongyi (Jiang Qin) and Zhong Hei (Zhang Cheng) into your army, which should be enough!" ”
As the most prestigious commander in the Jiangdong Army, Zhou Yu also has a side benefit to his submission, that is, Jiangdong generals such as Ling C, Wu Cang, and Deng Dang will definitely join Jinfan.
Zhou Yu looked at Wang Chong with some surprise: "The lord is so arranged, isn't he afraid that the last general will gather a crowd to rebel?" ”
"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people!" Wang Chong glanced at Zhou Yu deeply, "I treat Gong Jin with sincerity, and I hope Gong Jin can also treat me with sincerity." Gong Jin should know that I tried my best to appoint you as the governor of Jiangdong this time, but I have suffered a lot of pressure! ”
Although Zhou Yu has the ability, but after all, he is newly surrendered, and Wang Chong has now appointed him as the governor of Jiangdong all of a sudden, and the generals under his command will have some objections to this, so in order to make Zhou Yu feel at ease in commanding the army, Wang Chong has really taken great pains.
First of all, Gan Ning is the governor of Jinfan, and the generals on his side must not move. Otherwise, things will really be big; Secondly, generals like Zhao Yun, Hao Zhao, Le Jin and others who are not from the Jiangdong faction will definitely be very unconvinced by Zhou Yu, so. On the basis of Zhou Yu's original, Wang Chong only added Jiang Qin and Zhang Cheng to him, both of whom were once generals in Jiangdong, so they should not have much resistance to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Jiang Qin, Ling C, Zhang Cheng, Deng Dang, Wu Cang, such a configuration, in addition to the lack of brave and unparalleled generals. is already a pretty top-level team, after all, in terms of intelligence, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng are enough to be independent.
Zhou Yu's eyes were rosy, and Wang Chong's trust filled his heart with gratitude.
"Zhou Yu's talent is shallow, and now he has won the master's weight, and there is no way to repay, and he is willing to lead the horse and fall for the lord in this life, and he will never give up!" Zhou Yu's voice choked, bowing down to Wang Chong, at this moment, he really felt the difference between Wang Chong and other princes, just in terms of using human courage, even Sun Ce could never compare with Wang Chong.
In the system, Zhou Yu's loyalty to Wang Chong rose from 79 points at the beginning to 91 points in an instant, and it only took a few minutes from good to die-hard loyalty, which shows how huge the energy of the word 'trust' is between the main and the minister.
From ancient times to the present, no one has ever dared to employ people as boldly as Wang Chong, of course, the reason why Wang Chong dared to do this, on the one hand, is based on his own understanding of Zhou Yu, on the other hand, it is also because he has systematic assistance, Zhou Yu is loyal to himself or not, just use the 'snooping eye' to check, you can see at a glance.

In the sixth year of Jian'an, May 29.
Kan Ze and Shiyi, who received Wang Chong's order, hurried from Anhui City, and the war had just ended, and for the next period of time, they were afraid that they would have to be busy without touching the ground.
Fortunately, for the time being, Zhou Yu will also stay in Wu County, which should be able to give them a lot of help.
As for Wang Chong, after handing over more than 10,000 prisoners to Zhou Yu, he officially set out of the camp and embarked on the return journey, accompanied by him in addition to the nearly 30,000 Jinfan army, as well as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong and other newly surrendered Jiangdong officials and their families.
At the same time, Gan Ning, who was in Linxiang, Jingnan, unexpectedly received a letter from Guiyang.
"Zhao Fan wants to surrender? Ziyang, what do you think about this? Gan Ning handed the letter to Liu Ye, frowned and said, "Zi Yang thinks that how likely is it that Zhao Fan will sincerely surrender?" ”
Liu Ye took a cursory look at the contents of the letter, thought for a while, and said: "According to the news from Guiyang, two days ago in the west gate of Chenxian County, there was indeed a big battle, but because the specific battle situation is unknown, it cannot be ruled out that this is a big drama written and directed by Zhao Fan and Liu Pan in order to lure me into Jinfan, after all, there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, if it is a head-to-head confrontation, they have no chance of winning!" ”
"But what if it's true?"
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Dudu, in fact, you have to try to find out whether Zhao Fan is really surrendering or cheating." The method is very simple, just let them send troops to cooperate with us to attack Lingling, and you can know it clearly! ”
"Ziyang's plan is very good!"
Gan Ning's eyes lit up, so he immediately wrote a reply. Summoning Zhao Fan's messenger and asking him to bring it back.
——————————————————————————————
In the sixth year of Jian'an, May 30.
Gan Ning sent 20,000 troops from Linxiang and marched along the Hunan River into Lingling.
Two days later, Gan Ning led his troops to the Qiyang area and received a reply from Gan Ning's Zhao Fan. It was also with Chen Ying and Bao Long as generals, sending 3,000 troops from Chenxian County to the west, Liankeling Road, Yingdao, and Yingpu counties, and then turned north, and together with Jinfan of Qiyang, formed a north-south attack on Quanling, the place of Lingling.
Quanling, Taishou Mansion.
At this time, Liu Du's face was pale with fright, and two thousand golden sail lions came in a majestic manner, but his Quanling only had five thousand soldiers, and the strength of the two sides was not proportional at all, the most important thing is. Zhao Fan's unexpected dispatch of troops can be said to have completely cut off their way to flee south, so they can only choose to fight to the death with Jinfan, or ...... Like Zhao Fan and Jin Xuan, he surrendered to Jinfan directly.
Secretly glanced at Liu Pan, who was silent, Liu Du sighed softly, if he proposed to surrender Jinfan, Liu Pan would definitely not agree, of course. Liu Du didn't care about Liu Pan's feelings, what really embarrassed him was his eldest son Liu Xian and the general Xing Daorong, who also advocated the battle.
He coughed dryly. Liu Du opened his mouth and asked: "Everyone, now that the Jinfan army is pressing the border, I don't know what strategy you have to deal with the enemy?" ”
Liu Xian said: "Father, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the soil, although Gan Ning is brave." However, General Xing Daorong's one-shot axe can also defeat 10,000 people, which is enough to win in battle! ”
Liu Xianyan, with a burly body, a face full of scum, and a fierce spirit, Xing Daorong immediately stood up, clenched his fists and asked: "Lord, the last general is willing to lead an army out of the city to meet the enemy, and he will take the head of the Ganning thief!" ”
Xing Daorong's voice fell, and Huang Zhong's eyes on the opposite side couldn't help flashing a touch of disdain, just by virtue of the dumb reckless man in front of him, he was already thankful that he could go through ten moves in Gan Ning's hands.
Liu Du stroked his palm and praised: "Okay, General Xing is heroic and dry, and he is worthy of being my Lingling General, so early tomorrow morning, I will go out of the city with your two thousand soldiers and horses to meet the enemy. ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Xing Daorong strode forward, took the wine cup from Liu Du's hand and drank it all, patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, my lord, tomorrow will see the last means!" ”
At this time, Liu Pan suddenly said: "Liu Gong, the generals in the Jinfan army are like clouds, although General Xing is an enemy of 10,000 people, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop Jinfan's wheel battle, why don't you let Pan lead the troops to go with General Xing tomorrow, I don't know what Liu Gong wants?" ”
"Oh? If General Liu is willing to accompany him, it would be great! Liu Du smiled and asked Xing Daorong, "What does General Xing think?" ”
Xing Daorong pursed his lips, glanced at Liu Pan contemptuously, and sneered: "If you want to follow, then follow, but everything needs to be done at the orders of the general, but don't drag the general back!" ”
Huang Zhong saw that Xing Daorong despised Liu Pan so much, and immediately became furious, and was about to shoot the case, but Liu Pan held him down, looked at Xing Daorong and smiled lightly: "This is natural!" ”
"You're interested!" Xing Daorong smiled proudly, and even cast a defiant look at Huang Zhong.
Soon, the discussion dispersed, and on the way back to the post station, Huang Zhong was still angry: "General, is it tolerable or unbearable, then Xing Daorong deceived people too much, and the last general wanted to teach him a lesson, why did the general stop it?" ”
Liu Pan sighed, shook his head and said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and now the top priority for us is to work together to repel Jinfan, as for other things, for the time being, we can still endure it!" ”
After experiencing Zhao Fan's rebellion, Liu Pan has become a frightened bird at this moment, for fear that he will fall out with Liu Du, which will make him choose to surrender to Jinfan like Zhao Fan.
Huang Zhong was silent for a while when he heard this, to be honest, he was really fed up with such days of being under the fence and being looked down upon.
"General, how many layers do you think we have to defeat Jinfan in this battle?"
"Why did Han Sheng say this?" Liu Pan looked at Huang Zhong in astonishment, "What?" Could it be that Hansheng was scared? ”
"It's not a question of whether I'm afraid or not, the last general just doesn't think it's necessary!" Huang Zhong said calmly, "The general trend of Jingnan has gone, instead of doing useless struggles, it is better to preserve strength, retreat into Jiaozhou for the time being, and then send troops to attack Jingnan again!" ”
"Do you think so?" Liu Pan's face was a little ugly, because what Huang Zhong said was exactly the same as the advice that Han Xuan gave him at the beginning.
Huang Zhong persuaded: "At this time and that time, we still had two counties of Lingling and Guiyang before, but now that Zhao Fan has rebelled to Jinfan, how long can we hold out with Lingling and one county alone?" ”
"No, we still have a chance!" Liu Pan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Hansheng, don't forget, I have secretly sent someone to Jiaozhou for help, maybe it won't be long before the Jiaozhou army will go north to Jingnan, and when the time comes, it is still unknown who will kill the deer!" ”
Huang Zhong took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, and he stopped talking: "General, there is a sentence, the last general doesn't know whether to say it or not!" ”
"Speak!"
"Does the general really think that Lai Gong and Wu Ju will send troops to help?"
Liu Pan's face changed: "What does Han Sheng mean by this?" ”
Huang Zhong said: "Lai Gong and Wu Ju have always been at odds, and both are ambitious, these two sides contain each other, if anyone dares to rashly lead the troops to leave, the territory will be invaded and occupied by the other party, not to mention that there is also a Shixie in Jiaozhi, in this case, the last general thinks that the possibility of them sending troops to Jingnan is too low and too low!" ”
"Say no more!!" Liu Pan roared in a low voice, "No matter what, I will definitely fight with Jinfan, Hansheng is clever in archery, on the battlefield tomorrow, when looking for an opportunity to kill Gan Ning, if it can be done, Jinfan has no leader, what threat is there?" ”
Huang Zhong saw that Liu Pan was angry, and sighed in his heart, so he stopped admonishing, nodded and said: "General rest assured, the last general should do his best!" ”
——————————————————————————————
June 2, the sixth year of Jian'an.
Xing Daorong led 2,000 troops and went north out of the city to meet Jinfan, and Liu Pan and Huang Zhong also led 500 soldiers to accompany him.
When Gan Ning was leading the army south, he suddenly saw dust in the distance, killing a large army, Gan Ning immediately waved his hand to stop the army and waited in formation.
The two armies faced each other, and the enemy's fast horse rushed out of the army, holding a big axe to open the mountain, and pointed at the Jinfan army formation and shouted: "The anti-thief dares to invade my territory? Xing Daorong is here, who dares to come to die!? (To be continued.) )
