Chapter 363: Another Scheme

The solemn and solemn county guard mansion in the past is now in a mess, and the destroyed gate of the mansion and the dead bodies everywhere all show that this place has just experienced a tragic battle. Escorted by more than a dozen personal soldiers, Zhou Yu looked cold and silently looked at the situation around him.

The battle to counter-insurgency in the surprise attack on Wu County went very smoothly, and everything was as Zhou Yu expected - Sheng Xian was not mentally prepared for Zhou Yu's rapid attack; In other words, Sheng Xian never thought that under the critical situation of the strong enemy Li Yu's army, Zhou Yu, who was the governor of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses, would "not do his job" and not lead the army to resist Li Yu, but led the elite troops to attack more than 700 miles back to Wu County to quell the rebellion.

Originally, he thought that Sun Quan would not be able to free up his hands to crusade against Wu County until at least one or two months later, so Sheng Xian still felt confident and boldly sent people around to connect with the Jiangdong Shi clan who were dissatisfied with the Sun clan, recruiting troops and horses, so as to expand his own strength.

But he never thought that Zhou Yujun would suddenly appear under the city of Wu County like a "divine soldier" descending from the sky. Although the city gate was closed in time, after Zhou Yu's reprimand, some of the rebel soldiers who were subdued by Zhou Yu's former prestige in the army actually took the initiative to open the city gate and surrendered!

The ensuing battle became extremely simple, except for some of the private soldiers of the Jiangdong Wang clan who took the lead in the rebellion and tried their best to resist, the rest of the rebels who were deceived by Sheng Xian surrendered one after another; As a result, many strategic points can be easily captured without a single soldier or gun. It was only here in the county guard mansion that they encountered stubborn resistance, and finally attacked the ...... of the mansion after losing nearly a hundred soldiers!

Battle...... Although the battle was won, and the victory was not difficult, Zhou Yu's mood was not comfortable - the killed and wounded enemy soldiers could have become soldiers of the Jiangdong Army, and the damaged city towers and buildings were all built by the people of Jiangdong with hard work. This feeling is like fighting with someone else at home, and the fight is won, but everything in the family is also ruined in a damn rebellion!

"Governor! The traitor Sheng Xian has been caught! Xu Sheng, the commander of the Jiangdong Army, came to Zhou Yu in a big stride, and said loudly with an extremely excited expression.

"Wenxiang, good job!" When Zhou Yu heard the news, he nodded slightly, and a faint look of joy appeared on his face, "Bring all the traitors over!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Sheng responded and left quickly. Not long after, under the leadership of Xu Sheng, dozens of Jiangdong Army soldiers escorted Wu County Taishou Shengxian and his family, and more than a dozen other rebellious Jiangdong Shi clan officials who came to the county guard mansion to participate in the deliberations, and came to Zhou Yu.

"Get on your knees!" Xu Sheng shouted angrily! "Zhou Yu?!" Sheng Xian, who was forced to kneel on the ground by the soldiers beside him, barely raised his head to see the person standing in front of him, and exclaimed, "How could it be you?" Why did you rush to Kure so quickly? ”

"Boldly rebelling against thieves, daring to call the governor by his name, it's simply impatient!" Xu Sheng scolded angrily and raised his foot to kick.

"Wenxiang, stop!" , Zhou Yu stopped Xu Sheng, then looked down at Sheng Xian, and said coldly with a solemn expression: "Sheng Xian, my lord Sun is not thin on you, and I entrusted you with the post of Wu County Guard, but you don't think about reciprocating, and you act against the flag in vain, what is the reason!" ”

"Hahaha...... Sun Quan treats me well? What a ridiculous statement! Sheng Xianqing knew that death was inevitable, so he simply let it go, laughed and scolded: "His grandson's family appointed me as the Taishou of Wu County, just to use Sheng's fame in Jiangdong to appease people's hearts."

If he treats me lightly, why does he always keep watch over me by my side? If he treated me well, why did he condone his brother Sun Yi to humiliate me in public last time? That blue-eyed child, how can He De be the lord of the six counties of Jiangdong?

Sheng raised the flag, just to conform to the will of the people of the six counties in Jiangdong, although now although there is nothing to do, he only complains that the sky does not help me! The matter of life and death, Sheng has long been out of his mind, he wants to kill or be widowed, and he will listen to him! After that, Sheng Xian stubbornly twisted his head!

"Hehe~!" Zhou Yu sneered and said in a deep voice: "Trapping the people of Jiangdong in the flames of war, is it your conformity to the people's will?" Your defeat is doomed when you raise your army against you! ”;“ Hum! Sheng Xian snorted, unwilling to answer.

"Sheng Xian, I respect you for being a well-educated person, and I will give you a chance-I expect that this rebellion will definitely be instigated by outsiders! As long as you tell who is being bewitched, I will spare you a son and a half women's lives! ”; Zhou Yu said in a slightly slower tone.

In fact, Zhou Yu had already confirmed in his heart that Li Yu had done this, but he still wanted to confirm it, so as to predict Li Yu's next move and how dangerous their current situation was!

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sheng Xian, who was originally quite stubborn, flashed a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and his expression couldn't help but change, and in the end, he sighed and said, "It's Jingzhou Mu Li Huaide!" ”

"Sure enough, it's him! Worthy of a yin! All favorable conditions will be used! Awesome! Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said: "Wenxiang! First of all, the Sheng Xian family was pushed out of the house to show the public, in order to deter the people who still have bad intentions in the city! The rest of the people will be taken into custody for the time being, and after the evidence of the crime is determined, they will be disposed of! ”

"What?? Zhou Yu, you untrustworthy villain, backtracking! Even if my family is a ghost in Huangquan, they won't let you go! ”; After hearing Zhou Yu's order to Xu Sheng, Sheng Xian was stunned at first, and then suddenly scolded angrily.

"Drag them all out!" Xu Sheng shouted loudly, commanded the sergeant, and escorted Sheng Xian's family and other scholars and officials out of the mansion.

"Governor!" , Zhu Huan, the captain of the Jiangdong Army, strode into the county guard's mansion, came to Zhou Yu, bowed down and said: "The chaos in the city has subsided!" I have ordered some of the sergeants to patrol the city in case there are still lurking rebels. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Yu nodded in approval, and after a little thought, he said to Zhu Huan: "Hugh Mu, now that the rebellion has been eliminated, most of the rebels have been annihilated, and the rest of the people are no longer worried. To appease Wu Jun and Huiji, I intend to entrust it to you, do you dare to take the order? ”

"Although Huan is not talented, he is willing to share his worries for the governor!" Zhu Huan's face was delighted, and he replied with emotion

Tongcheng Li Yu paced back and forth in the city mansion, his tightly knit brows showed the boredom in his heart at this time, although Cheng Pu in the Wuning area was not a top opponent, he was also a battlefield general, plus he was relatively stable, and he did not give Li Yu a chance at all; Do you want to attack the city? Don't talk about it, he now has a total of 50,000 military horses in his hands, and Cheng Pu has more than 70,000 people in his hands, and Sun Quan has transferred most of his troops from the Jiangxia generation to the Jingnan area, which shows that he has seen his intentions, and he is sure that the threat of his military horses is greater than that of Pang Tong; "I said sir? Can you not go? I'm dizzy! Shamoke said speechlessly with his chin on his chin and soon his words attracted Ma Chao's reprimand: "Shut up!" Don't you see the gentleman thinking? ”

"I'll go!" , Shamoke just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Li Yu, and now he suddenly thought of a plan, maybe it will work!

"Shamoko! You've requisitioned 20,000 people from your clan this time, haven't you? These 20,000 people not only have enough to eat, but also take care of their families, right? Li Yu smiled gloomily: "I'll give you a task!" If only you could do it! These harvests are yours! ”

There is a matter of money and food, Shamoke is the most concerned, this guy usually likes to go to the grain and grass supervision and transportation there when he is fine, and looks at the military rations with his eyes blank, and then drools, "Are you serious?" As long as I have money and food, I am willing to do anything! Samoko slapped his chest with a thumping sound; That's it", Li Yu lowered his head and said to Shamoke, Shamoke's eyes were full of brilliance!

Wuning, Chengpu Barracks; "What? Another large area of rice fields was robbed by Liu Beijun? Cheng Pu, the deputy governor of Jiangdong, had a pale face, shouted angrily, and his gray beard trembled.

In the past three or four days, Cheng Pu's heart has really been on fire. Seeing that the day of rice maturity was approaching, Cheng Pu had already planned to harvest this batch of new grain, except for the part he kept, and then transport the rest of the grain and grass to Jiangxia as soon as possible for military use.

But he never thought that before it was his turn to harvest the grain that was about to ripen, the "shameless" Jingzhou army actually started to use the night as a cover to steal rice. In the past few days, thousands of acres of grain fields have been harvested.

What is even more hateful is that these "bold" Jingzhou troops have not fallen for a day, they will be dispatched every night, and more and more rice fields have been stolen every time, and last night they had already "stolen" to Xiushui County, which is only 70 miles away from Wuning. According to this momentum, in another three or five days at most, the new grain in half of Yuzhang County will be stolen and "there is no field left"!

"It's so damning...... It's so damning! The shameless white-faced thief actually resorted to such despicable means! Damn, I will never spare you, Li Yu! Villain! Cheng Pu roared angrily, "Someone! Mobilize military horses for me, and I will personally lead the army tonight, vowing to capture these 'rice stealers'! ”

"Governor! Don't act rashly! Zhu Zhi, the captain of Rulin, hurriedly stopped him.

"Huh? Why? Cheng Pu raised his eyebrows and replied in a muffled voice. Although Cheng Pu's military position is much higher than Zhu Zhi, and he is the deputy governor of Jiangdong, he still retains respect for Zhu Zhi, Zhu Zhi is the same as him is the third generation of old ministers in the Jiangdong army, and in his early years, when he followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce, he made great contributions, and he acted calmly and prudently, and his conduct was good, so he had a high prestige in Jiangdong.

"Governor! So who is Li Yu? We have fallen for his plan and missed the first step, and now we must not make a decision easily! You must know that Wuning is now the only gateway for Chaisang! We should only guard the city, and we should not go out lightly. The number of military horses in the city is already limited, and if some of them are folded, the city will inevitably be difficult to protect! Zhu Zhi earnestly advised.

Once Wu Ning is empty now, and Li Yu takes advantage of the loophole, then Chai Sang will be threatened by Cao Jun, and behind Wu Ning is a horse Pingchuan!

Cheng Pu was also silent for a long time, a little depressed: "Having said that, do you want these rats of the Jingzhou Army to continue to grab our grain?"

You must know that there is not much grain and grass in the city, and if we lose this batch of new grain, I am afraid that it will not be long before we can only drink the northwest wind! Cheng Pu is also sensible, but he is particularly unwilling in his heart; ......" Zhu Zhi thought for a while, and came up with a solution, "It's better to do this - since the Jingzhou army is dispatched at night, we can organize the people and some soldiers to use the daytime to grab new grain and quickly transport it into the city before dark, so that at least some of the grain can be saved." ”

"That's all there is to it!" , Cheng Pu thought left and right, but he couldn't find a better way, so he had to reluctantly agree.

"Okay, I'll go and arrange for the harvest of new grain."
