Chapter 381: Wonderful Brother Zhou Yu, Tragic Brother Zhang Xiu
"What's going on? How could Zhou Yu still run? Li Yu, who learned the news, hurried to the forward position where Pang Tong was, and was a little surprised to inquire about the results of the matter, he was not the leading figure in this war, although he was the highest administrator;" Careless! Pang Tong shook his head and was a little disappointed: "I thought that I would be able to leave Zhou Yu behind by laying a net, but it turned out to be otherwise, they had already fled down the tributaries of the Yangtze River and down Poyang Lake at this time!"
Three days ago, the Huang Gai Water Division suddenly rebuilt the camp, I originally thought they were just reinforcing the defenses, sir, look! Pang Tong pointed to Huang Gai's sailor camp; Nothing special... How is it a cut above the average water village? Although Li Yu is not familiar with water warfare, he has also visited Pangtong's water village for a long time because of his needs, and there is more than one, but none of them are so high as Huanggai Water Village!
The water village is too high, which will seriously hinder the speed of sending troops, which is not conducive to maneuvering, which is a big taboo for the water division; "Yes! But who would have thought that Zhou Yu would take three days to transport the soldiers in batches? And it's all hidden under this water village? Pang Tong was very depressed, it can be said that he was tricked by Zhou Yu this time, and it hit him harder, bigger than Li Yu's blow to him at the beginning;" I have already ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to pursue downstream! It is estimated that Zhou Yu has already made arrangements, and I am afraid that there will be no results, so let's think about the next move! Pang Tong sighed; Not far away, Ji Ling, Guo Jia and others also came over, and they were run away by Zhou Yu without even any reaction, and they also felt a little guilty in their hearts, the meat to their mouths, but unfortunately they didn't see what this meat looked like, so it was gone?
……
……
Because he saw the soldiers gambling and playing the trick of guessing beans, Zhou Yu devised such a clever plan!
The game of guessing beans has three bowls, which means that Zhou Yu wants to divide the soldiers and horses into three parts, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai and himself!
These three bowls are all covered, which means that the most important thing is not to see the light, and to die when they see the light, they will definitely die after being discovered by Cao Jun!
That bean represents Zhou Yu's main force! You must know that Pang Tong, Guo Jia, and Li Yu are all aiming at his own main force, otherwise Huang Gai would have died by now!
Zhou Yu is a cunning banker, and Cao Jun, as a player, missed two games in a row, and the end is more inevitable, but there are many others, Zhou Yu made a situation of no profit or loss, and did not dare to anger Cao Jun, a guy with a face full of meat; Zhou Yu is not without losses, Zhou Tai's 10,000 soldiers and horses are considered to be kneeling, including himself, you must know that the young generals of Eastern Wu, every lost general, especially Zhou Tai's level, is unavoidable and difficult to replenish; In addition, Lu Meng, who did evil in the area of Jingzhou City, will also face the wanton encirclement and suppression of Cao's army, and whether he can avoid it depends on his own strength; Huang Gai's sailors suffered serious losses, and the 100,000 recruits or young civilians lost more than half of them in this war... Fortunately, the recruits who had experienced the devastation of the war would grow, and after training, they would be a force, and the replenishment of troops could be regarded as Zhou Yu recovering some losses; This is a loss in terms of talents, and the loss of land is also more serious, they have previously occupied the land of the three counties of Jingzhou but have to give up, and now the entire Yuzhang County is no longer under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong!
The entire Jiangdong is just the land of six counties, and at present, Lujiang County and Yuzhang County have been lost, which also means that Jiangdong's heritage has been lost little by little, and they really don't have many hole cards left, and they can't withstand the encroachment of Cao Jun, a behemoth; Thinking of this, even Zhou Yu sighed a little, and Huang Gai, who had escaped death beside him, asked, "Governor Dadu, the Jingzhou Navy Master is chasing behind him, what should I do?" ”
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements, go down the Poshui until we get to the end, and we will be picked up when we get to the water! Cheng Pu has been waiting for a long time! Looking at the somewhat frightened faces of these generals of Zhou Yu, he smiled and comforted them, this is his duty as the governor of the capital;" Report ——! Governor! There is an interception in the waters ahead! ", the herald reported to the soldiers, and everyone was shocked and looked at Zhou Yu one after another; Don't worry, it's Zhu Zhi, I ordered him to load the boat with flammable materials, connect it, and cross the lake, just to get rid of the pursuers behind him! Zhou Yu also got up and squinted his eyes and looked forward, Zhu Zhi did a good job, in this way, there is no problem;" Order the troops to pass quickly and light a fire! Zhou Yu said; The raging flames formed a fire dragon to intercept Peng Zehu in half, and Zhou Yu was there... Cai Mao is here..."What should I do?" Governor? Zhang Yun asked Cai Mao beside him, Cai Mao had a gloomy face, and sighed for a long time: "What else can I do?" Zhou Yu has already calculated, how can we be his opponents? Forget it, go back to your life! ”
Zhang Yun whispered eagerly: "But just go back empty-handed, we..."
"Hehehe!" , Cai Mao shook her head and smiled: "Pang Shiyuan, Li Huaide, Guo Fengxiao and other characters have all been put together by Zhou Yu, let alone me?" Put your heart back in your belly! It's best for us to go back like this, it's bland, it's useless, it's safe! ”
……
……
"Zhou Yu had already prepared, connected a small boat on the surface of Pengze Lake, loaded it with hay and other flammable materials, and lit it after they passed, we could not pass, Pengze Lake has no wind and waves, it is very calm, even if the boat is all burned out, it will not slip away and cause trouble to Zhou Yu; My brother waited there for nearly an hour, and Zhou Yu had already run away! The last general was ashamed, so he could only lead the troops back to restore his life! Cai Mao looked very ashamed, knelt on the ground, and reported the military situation; As he expected, Pang Tong did not reproach him, but encouraged him; "What's next? Do you want to pay attention? Guo Jia shook his fan on the side, the summer in Jiangdong is really hot, ordinary people can't stand it, northerners are very uncomfortable, Guo Jia is the same;" Yes? Who are you talking to? Li Yu looked around in a daze, just now he was thinking about Zhou Yu's clever plan, and he was distracted; I'm asking you, of course! You are the biggest in terms of official position, and you are also the biggest in terms of influence, and besides, the lord has given you full authority to attack Jiangdong, and we have to listen to you now! Well, very? Understandable? ", Guo Jia complained; Oh! But I'm thinking that we have been tossing for so long, it can be said that Yuzhang County has been defeated, and the Jiangdong forces have suffered a great loss, but how can Liu Bei say that he has not? I'm starting to wonder what they're up to! Li Yu doesn't have any specific ideas about how Jiangdong will fight now, so he can only casually pull over an excuse first; That's right! At present, our prime minister's family is dominant, Liu Bei and Sun Quan joining forces to fight the enemy is their way out, the world is already divided into three parts, and the situation is becoming clearer, why is there no action? Li Yu said this, but Guo Jia's attention was attracted to the past, and at this time he was already wandering out of the world; Xun Yu said: "It's very difficult for Liu Bei to get out of Xichuan now!" At present, he has occupied Xichuan, Hanzhong and Yongliang, but he must come out if he wants to chase the Central Plains! And there are only two ways out at the moment!
One is to go north to Tongguan, but General Gao Shun of Tongguan is well-known for guarding it, and he is rigorous, plus the assistance of Duan Xuan and others, it can be said that it is impregnable, so that if he wants to enter the Central Plains, he can only go north, but further north, their supply line will be stretched for more than 500 miles! This is unheard of! If he wants to do this, he won't know how to die!
Then they had to go east to find trouble in Jingzhou, but their exit into Jingzhou was in Ba County, where more than 100,000 soldiers of General Cao Ren were stationed, and there was also the help of Hussar General Lu Wenhou; All in all, he wants to get out, it's too difficult, it's not that he doesn't want to get out, but he can't get out! ”
"Hmm... That's right! But no war broke out on either side! This is strange, Liu Bei is not a person who is content with the status quo, he has the same ambition as the prime minister, it can be said that he has the heart of an emperor!
A few days ago, news came from Shuzhong and Chengdu that this guy has now played the banner of 'Han and thief do not stand together, and the king industry is not partial', which shows his ambition! Li Yu glanced at his mouth, stammered, tilted his head, and his face was full of unknown reasons; Hey, hey, hey! Are you diverting our attention? Guo Jia suddenly pointed at Li Yu as if he had come to his senses: "Now we are asking you what to do next, right?" ”
"Well... I think it's better to ask the prime minister! Maybe when he is happy, he will be here! Of course, the next step is still to kill the Jiangdong Sun clan! We have crossed the Yangtze River natural insurance, we must make full use of our foot riding advantages and give them a blow! Li Yu said with a smile; Father! Doesn't Lu Meng have to worry about it? Please go and strangle him! Cao Zhang, who was behind Li Yu, walked out and knelt on one knee to ask for his life; Li Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, the corners of his mouth smiled, and he was relieved in his heart: "My son is brave, so he can naturally take on this task!" I'll give you 10,000 iron horses! I don't ask you to build up a lot of credit, and it will be a success to drive him away! Also, Lu Meng is a handsome person, don't you despise him, understand? ”
"No!" , Cao Zhang grinned and clenched his fists to receive his life;
Li Yu glanced at the full generals, his eyes stayed on Zhang Liao, and then he got up: "General clerk!" I have a reluctant request, I don't know if it...? ”
Zhang Liao got up: "Sir, please say, if a certain family can do it, it must obey its fate!" ”
"Hi...", Li Yu sighed at first, and said quite embarrassedly: "This... When a father always has to worry about the growth of his child, no matter how brave Zhang'er is, no matter how powerful he is, he is always a child in my eyes, I am worried that he will be impulsive and make irrational moves. ”
This is Li Yu's cunning side, he is good at impressing the other party with words, his words will not only make Zhang Liao understand his mood and accept the task willingly, but also will not hit Cao Zhang's confidence, it is really not easy to be a good father!
"Yo! Wilder! You're using power for personal gain! That's not right! You're going to have to invite everyone to drink! Otherwise... We're going to report you! Hahaha! ", Guo Jia teased; Li Yu pursed his lips: "Even if you invite someone to drink, you won't have your share!" I heard that Dr. Hua Tuo told you to quit drinking! Hahaha! ”
……
……
Coming around and around, I'm back here... Count you ruthless! Mr. Dumb! In the mountains and forests not far from Wancheng, Zhang Xiu, who was in golden armor and golden gun, looked at Shuchuan from afar, and was full of emotion in his heart; This mission is definitely a life and a death, but he has to come again! Liu Bei has already hinted to him that no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will take good care of his children, what does this mean? This means that no matter whether it succeeds or not, he can't go back!
Surrender Cao Cao? Just kidding, Cao Cao may not kill him if he is big-hearted, but what about that Li Yu? What about Cao Ang's brothers in the future? God knows!
Tragic fate! Zhang Xiu's chest hurts!
I originally thought that he would usher in a happy life after taking refuge in Liu Bei, yes, he was very happy at the beginning, he had a senior brother Zhang Ren, this is the former chief of Xichuan soldiers and horses, and now it is! He also has a junior brother Zhao Yun, who is Liu Bei's personal bodyguard and a good friend... The problem then arose, the combination of their three guns seemed too big in the small group under Liu Bei's command, and it was necessary to lay off personnel, so the people who were the least important and least likely to surrender to Cao Cao in Liu Bei's eyes were abandoned and came to carry out the great task of assassinating Cao Cao!
This is a failure in the internal struggle!
The reason why Zhang Xiu was sent to death is inseparable from Mr. Dumb, without Mr. Dumb's suggestion, Liu Bei is reluctant to let him be sent to death as a fierce general! Everything is because Zhang Xiu accidentally discovered the identity of Mr. Dumb!
Maybe Liu Bei has already guessed the identity of Mr. Dumb, and there are results, but he has been pretending to be stupid, just don't know, others are the same, only he said it for a while! That's the biggest reason!
Mouth owes! Mouth owes! Zhang Xiu has the heart to cry, originally he had a bad reputation, and he almost became the second Lu Bu, which means that the third surname is a slave, not a god of war, and he can't reach that level!
is far away, and he is not very popular with Liu Bei, but Liu Bei appreciates his bravery and leaves him behind, but this time the basket he poked seems to be a bit big, because Mr. Dumb's identity is really not ordinary, and his background has always been criticized!
Especially Liu Bei, a relative of the Han Emperor, he can pretend to be confused and pretend to be confused, but after this identity is exposed, due to reputation problems and pressure from the outside world, he must make a choice, which means that if he goes to Mr. Dumb, a figure who has made great contributions to him!
In this way, it is no wonder that Zhang Xiu is not hated, Mr. Dumb should clean him up, which at least gives him a glimmer of hope for life, if Liu Bei starts, he doesn't know how he died!
In short, Zhang Xiu reluctantly but had to come out of Shuchuan and came to the Wancheng area, ready to attack Xuchang...
