Chapter 607, Battle Book
Zhou Yu appeared outside the north gate of Shucheng. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
From Huailing to Shu, stretching for thousands of miles, Zhou Yu's army did not hide its tracks, of course Liu Feng knew about it a long time ago, and sent someone to secretly contact Zhou Yu early. But what puzzled him was that until Zhou Yu arrived in Shucheng, there was no response.
However, what is puzzling is that Zhou Yu did not take people into the city from the north gate, but turned a corner and set up a large camp outside the east gate, which was very close to Ling Cao and Zhang Hong's camp. After the camp was set up, the banner of "General Anton Zhou" on the camp gate was extremely eye-catching.
Yes, General Anton, this is an official position appointed by Yuan Shu Zhou Yu at this time, and the purpose is self-evident.
"What's going on?" Originally, in the North Gate Tower, Liu Xun took a group of officials from Lujiang and several children of the Zhou family to welcome Zhou Yu into the city, but what he didn't expect was that Zhou Yu turned directly not far from the city and went to the east gate, making a group of people whisper.
"Isn't it going to be a surrender to the enemy?" Some people are suspicious, and they open their mouths unconsciously.
"My lord, please be cautious!" Hearing this, a young man immediately reprimanded, "I, the Zhou family, am loyal to Your Majesty, how can I do such a shameful thing." The high hall is in the city, and even if the younger brother is ignorant, he will not do such a rebellious thing. ”
If Liu Feng is here, he will find out that this person is Zhou Yu's brother Zhou Jin.
"If you don't surrender, why do you go to the east gate with a large army, is it difficult to challenge?" Another person said disdainfully.
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I just guessed here to understand the situation? If you don't believe me, just go and see. "Zhou Jin is too lazy to talk nonsense with these people.
Yes, the relationship between the Zhou family and the Taishou Mansion is not very good, one is a dragon crossing the river, and the other is a snake on the ground, and the contradiction is natural. In peacetime, the superficial harmony can be maintained, but now that the war is together, the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides will naturally intensify. Liu Xun wanted to control the private soldiers of the Zhou family to fight against the Jiangdong army, especially after the failure of the battle out of the city, Liu Xun's need for the private soldiers of the Zhou family became more urgent, which once caused the relationship between the two sides to be very tense.
That is, after learning that Zhou Yu brought people to support, the Zhou family gave Liu Xun some help to ease the conflict, and this time Zhou Jin came to greet Zhou Yu with Liu Xun, and the purpose was the same. But to everyone's surprise, Zhou Yu let them lay an empty space.
Liu Xun's face was very ugly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything, but turned around and went down the city wall and headed in the direction of Dongcheng.
However, before he arrived, he met someone on the way to report that a large army was camped outside the east gate.
Hearing this, Liu Xun quickened his pace, and after a while, he climbed the city tower.
Not far outside the city, is the Jiangdong army built the soil mountain, because of the sudden Zhou Yu department, has stopped the attack, in the distance, a few miles away from the city wall, and the Jiangdong army camp outside the city, an army is camping, hundreds of thousands of troops are in full battle, guarding against the attack of the Jiangdong army.
At this moment, Zhou Yu's camp has not yet been set up, and from the city tower, you can almost see the whole picture, the army is neat, fully equipped, and there are quite a few of them, Liu Xun estimates that there can be 1.3 or 400 million.
Zhou Yu thoroughly carried out Yuan Shu's plan, not only taking away all the 800,000 horses in Huailing and emptying the arsenal, but also recruiting new recruits at his own expense, and spending a lot of money to buy a large number of weapons along the way to arm these horses. Although the time is still short and untrained, these 300,000 are mainly used as reserve troops and baggage soldiers, and the real combat power is the 800,000 people brought out by Zhou Yu when he was in Huailing and the 200,000 Praetorian Guards of Yuan Shu, a total of one million people, in terms of number, more than the army in Ling Cao's hands.
"It seems that the younger brother is really going to fight the Jiangdong Army head-on outside the city." Zhou Jin smiled when he saw this. He didn't understand why his brother was like this, but he wouldn't hold back.
"Perhaps, but that's a bit of a stretch!" Someone immediately said, "Our three million army can't defeat the enemy, although there are not many people outside the city, but the main force of the enemy army is outside the southern city, and it won't take too much time to reinforce it, how will Brother Ling deal with it?" In case it is defeated before entering the city, the city of Nashu ......"
"Lord Wang, although it is a fact, he has also been said these depressing words, saying something nice, or the gods can bless him to get out of the whole body!" Another sneered.
"What is this kid of the Zhou family going to do? Knowing that the official had only lost for a while, he went to provoke without even entering the city, and gave the official a threat? Listening to the voices of his subordinates, Liu Xun's face became worse and worse.
……
Liu Xun guessed well, Zhou Yu just had this idea, he knew that he was young, he had no reputation, and he couldn't suppress Liu Xun in terms of power. Otherwise, even with the support of the Zhou family, it may not be recognized.
In officialdom, this is the case, ability is not the most important thing, sometimes it depends on seniority. And the fledgling Zhou Yu obviously does not have this.
So immediately after he set up camp, he sent a war letter to the enemy troops on the opposite side.
"Zhou Yu? Who is this? How arrogant is it? Ling Cao, who received the war letter, was puzzled.
When Ling Cao threw himself under Liu Feng, Zhou Yu had already left, so he naturally didn't know Zhou Yu and his person. And Liu Feng and the Zhou family are related, and not everyone knows about it, Ling Cao has always been in the army, so he naturally doesn't know about it.
"It seems to be a disciple of the Lujiang Zhou family, it seems that this is the reinforcement sent by Yuan Shu." Zhang Hong said that as one of Liu Feng's most trusted staff officers, he naturally knew who Zhou Yu was, and he vaguely knew the purpose of this trip, but he couldn't tell Ling Cao until the final result came out.
"What do you think you should do about this?" Ling Cao asked.
"I can't guess, this matter is a little weird, let's ask the lord for instructions!" Zhang Hong said.
"Sir, the enemy's strength is not stronger than ours, if you don't do anything, please ask the lord, something is wrong!" Ling Cao was a little confused by Zhang Hong's reaction. In his opinion, he is fully capable of blocking Zhou Yu and creating conditions for Nancheng's attack.
"Leave this matter to me, and send this thing to the lord." Zhang Hong raised the battle book in his hand and insisted, he knew the importance of Zhou Yu in Liu Feng's mind.
"Okay then, I'll send someone to Nancheng." Although he didn't understand, Ling Cao agreed.
"War book?" Liu Feng was still worried about contacting Zhou Yu, and just after receiving the news, he was still discussing with Xun You and others about Zhou Yu's transfer to Dongcheng, and he received Zhou Yu's war letter from Ling Cao.
"Gongda thinks that Zhou Yu is going to do something?" Involving Zhou Yu, Liu Feng disbanded the meeting, leaving only Bai Jian and Xun You there, and even Lu Su was not left behind because of his qualifications.
"I can't guess, but he must have a good intention, let's see the follow-up development!" Xun You thought for a moment, and then said.
"Well, since he's doing it, let's see what his plan is." Liu Feng said, writing the words "Tomorrow's decisive battle" on the battle book, and then asked, "Do you need to give them reinforcements?" ”
"Let's keep it as it is, and we'll see how the city reacts tomorrow." Xun You thought about it again and replied.
So Liu Feng called a messenger to bring back the war book, and asked him to bring Ling Cao and Zhang Hong the words "camera acting".
