Before the autumn, the Jiangdong soldiers and horses besieging Hefei slowly retreated, looking at the towering Hefei city wall, Zhou Yu's heart was desolate.

Tai Shi Ci was on the horse, looking at Zhou Yu with a tired face, and sighed in his heart, Jiangdong Zhou Lang is still suave, but these two temples have added a little sideburns, this Jiangdong has been stable for more than ten years, and Zhou Lang was young in the past, but now he has passed the age of standing.

Zhou Yu saw Tai Shici's eyes with concern, and smiled bitterly, Zhou Yu vaguely remembered that since Pang Shanmin took charge of Jingnan, Zhou Yu whether he was conquest of Jingxiang or now attacking Hefei, he did not win a battle, although he was quite appreciative of Pang Shanmin's behavior, but how could the two of them not agree, the growing glory of the lord of Jingxiang has covered up the brilliance of his Jiangdong handsome talent, and this battle with Guo Jia made Zhou Yu feel like a retreat.

Now how could Zhou Yu not know that this time he had fallen for the conspiracy of Guo Jia and Pang Shanmin? It's just that the matter has come to this point, and there is no power to return to the sky, Jiangdong can't get an inch of land in the north of the Jiangbei, and 20,000 military horses are damaged.

This attack on Cao, Zhou Yu also saw the gap between the two princes, the disadvantage of Jiangdong's army and horses is not strong in land warfare, especially obvious when attacking the city, Zhou Yu even thought, no longer cross the river in his lifetime, give full play to the advantages of Jiangdong, warships across the river, in order to resist Jingxiang and the two princes of the Central Plains, but this idea was strangled in Zhou Yu's mind in an instant, Cao Cao is old, but it's okay, if the Pang mountain people don't meet the catastrophe, who are the princes in the world, can wait until he is old, and then try Jingxiang?

Before Zhou Yu repeatedly ridiculed Pang Shanmin for not having a hegemonic temperament and not understanding the emperor's mental skills, but now looking at it again, this Jingxiang, Xichuan, and even Hanzhong were unconsciously pocketed by the Pang Shanmin, Zhou Yu suddenly woke up, this world's land, Jingxiang has gained nearly half, if he occupies Xiliang again, it is Cao Cao who wants to fight against it, I am afraid that it is not easy.

Although the current situation is extremely grim for Jiangdong, Zhou Yu thinks more about how to find talents like Kong Ming and Lu Xun like the Pang mountain people, so that after he, the governor of the capital, returns to seclusion, Jiangdong can have successors, and he has been defeated repeatedly, and Zhou Yu's state of mind is no longer like in the past.

Tun soldiers Lujiang, the military horses in Hefei City, as Zhou Yu expected, did not pursue, Zhou Yu landed on the front foot, and heard that the Jingxiang messenger came to deliver the letter, after reading the letter, Zhou Yu sighed, alone, left the camp, and galloped to the river.

After Zhou Yu left, Tai Shi Ci and others stepped forward one after another, and looked at the letter, wishing that it was the Pang mountain people who urged Zhou Yu to honor the gambling contract as soon as possible, and the words on the letter were frivolous, and after Tai Shi Ci read it, he couldn't help but be angry.

Thinking of Zhou Yu when he left, with a sad face, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly chased out of the camp tent and rode his horse to find Zhou Yu.

Galloping by the river for a long time, Tai Shi Ci saw Zhou Yu's war horse, stopped on the bank, Zhou Yu sat quietly by the river, looking at the rolling Yangtze River with blank eyes.

Tai Shici turned over and dismounted, sat down beside Zhou Yu, and said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, that Pang Shanmin is too deceitful!" ”

"Success or failure is heroic." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, was silent for a long time, and said to Tai Shici: "Ziyi, you tell the truth, if there is no Zhou Yu in this Jiangdong, will it be better than now." ”

"If there is no Gongjin, there will be no Jiangdong." Tai Shi Ci spoke earnestly and said to Zhou Yu: "In the past, when Bo Fu was there, the brothers in the army understood this truth, that is, Bo Fu died, if Zhongmou did not have the help of Gong Jin, my Jiangdong would have been plundered by the Pang mountain people." ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he didn't make a sound, and after a while, he said to Tai Shici: "That Ziyi thinks, how talented is Zhou?" ”

"In my Jiangdong, such as Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Chen Ping ......" Tai Shici did not think twice, after saying that, seeing Zhou Yu's face with a self-deprecating face, he sighed lightly and said to Zhou Yu: "However, there is a sky outside the sky, this is not the crime of Gongjin, but the heavens treat Jiangdong too lightly." ”

Zhou Yu was slightly stunned when he heard Tai Shici's words, and then said with a smile: "What Ziyi said is too ethereal, who can say for sure what is going to heaven?" ”

Seeing that Tai Shi Ci was speechless, Zhou Yu said again: "Ziyi, who do you say in Jiangdong can succeed Zhou?" ”

Tai Shi Ci was shocked when he heard this, and said to Zhou Yu: "Why did Gong Jin say this? ”

"Zhou's heart is overwhelmed." Zhou Yu said, said with a sad face: "What Zhou hoped most before was to gain Zhongmou's trust, lead the Jiangdong army and horses, expand the territory, and live up to the trust of Bo Fu, how could Zhongmou act before, arrogant and domineering, and did not listen to good words, but now Zhongmou's prodigal son turned back and handed over the power of Jiangdong to Zhou, this time he fought across the river, and the result made him quite disappointed. ”

"The lord has changed greatly, and he will not punish him." Tai Shici said, but Zhou Yu said: "It's not Zhongmou's business, Zhongmou's actions now, Zhou is also quite pleased, Zhou's this time is self-blame." ”

"Gong Jin wants to abandon tens of thousands of brothers in the army just because of self-blame?"

Tai Shi Ci saw that Zhou Yu's face was gray and had no fighting spirit, so he couldn't help but be furious, grabbed the back of Zhou Yu's neck, pointed to the reflection by the river, and said angrily: "You open your eyes and take a good look, this decadent person in Jiangdong has the former Zhou Lang, the slightest appearance?" ”

Zhou Yu was strangled by Tai Shi Ci, but he did not struggle, looking at the reflection of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu's eyes were red and said: "Jingxiang is difficult to plan, attacking Hefei has nothing to gain, Zhou Lang in the past, now he is the laughing stock of the world, first Yu Jingxiang was calculated, and then he was hit head-on in Hefei!" Zhou Lang's name, don't do it! ”

"Zhongmou still knows that the prodigal son has turned back, but you, the governor, are obsessed!" Tai Shi Ci heard Zhou Yu's lamentation, and said with an annoyed face: "Then the people of Pang Shanmin in Jingnan have been lying on their salaries for two years, and only then have the current situation, my Jiangdong foundation is far stronger than that of Pang Shanmin back then, how do you know that it can't be replaced in the future?" Gongjin, wake up! ”

Tai Shi Ci said, but suddenly his hand sank, willing to come Zhou Yu first lost his mind, and was choked by Tai Shi Ci on the back of his neck, has fainted, Tai Shi Ci saw the corners of Zhou Yu's eyes, there were hidden tears, sighed lightly, put Zhou Yu on his shoulder, the two of them rode together, went to the camp, and scolded in his mouth: "You are happy to sleep, today's matter, forgive you first, if you wake up and still look like this, Ci will let you see, what is a big fist!" ”

Returning to the camp, he threw Zhou Yu on the bed, Tai Shi Ci looked at Zhou Yu who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and couldn't help but sigh, in the past ten days, Zhou Yu has almost never slept endlessly, although he can't do anything, but he has done his best, Tai Shi Ci helped Zhou Yu cover the brocade quilt, and said with a bitter smile: "Gong Jin, I hope you can wake up soon, this Jiangdong can no longer withstand the slightest toss right now." ”
