Chapter 612: The Envoy
"That's it?" Liu Feng said that some eggs hurt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He thought that Xun You had made some big discoveries, and he was ready to listen to a tirade, who would have thought that Xun You had made such a big joke with him, so that he couldn't adapt for a while.
"What, is there something wrong with what the subordinate said?" Seeing Liu Feng's expression, Xun You was confused.
"Well, it's not true, but it's been said before!" Liu Feng immediately showed the appearance of a qualified listener.
"Yes, it was just a guess before, but now it's more certain after seeing it with my own eyes." Xun You came back to his senses from Liu Feng's abnormal behavior and continued, "Liu Xun is watching from the city tower, so I can't help if he doesn't go all out. It is precisely because of this that it shows that he really pulled Liu Xun off the horse and led the power of Lujiang himself. ā
"What does that have to do with Zhou Yu's all-out fight?" Liu Feng didn't know why.
"If he doesn't go all out and give the people of Shucheng hope to defeat the enemy, how can he get the support of the people of Shucheng, and how can he force Liu Xun to relinquish power with the threat of a great victory?" Xun You explained, "That's why he deceived Liu Xun politically and showed his strength militarily." ā
"But wouldn't we lose a lot of money?" Liu Feng frowned, "What the hell does this kid think?" Knowing this, it was better to attack Shucheng before he led the troops. ā
"But in this way, we will become the focus of Yuan Shu's defense, and Sun Jian and Liu Biao will be put behind, and the losses will be even more serious." Xun You said.
"In the final analysis, it's still not enough, the population of Jiangdong is too small." Liu Feng sighed, "Is there anything else you have discovered?" ā
"What's more, Zhou Yu either doesn't want to contact us, but can't get in touch. By his side, there should be Yuan Shu's people watching day and night, so he didn't even dare to put our messenger back. Either he was silenced or secretly detained. Xun You said, "The phalanx on the left side of the Chinese army should be the person sent by Yuan Shu to restrain Zhou Yu, and it can be seen from the weapons and equipment that it is obviously different." ā
"You need to be so careful......" Liu Feng couldn't deny this.
"This is the attitude of doing big things, and Zhou Yu's plan must be not small." Xun You said, "Although there is a lack of intelligence support, my subordinates can't guess what Zhou Yu is going to do, but they can cooperate appropriately." ā
"Oh, what are you going to do?" Liu Feng asked.
"Since Zhou Yu needs victory, then give him victory and retreat a little bit every day." Xun You said, "The lord can give Zijing an order to them, let them act according to the plan, and see what Zhou Yu wants to do in the end." ā
"In this way, I am wronged." Liu Feng said with a smile.
"But not with Zhou Yu, he should be able to sense our intentions." Xun You insisted.
"Okay, I believe Zijing will focus on the overall situation." Liu Feng nodded in agreement.
So when Zhou Yu returned to the city with a slight victory on the first day, the advantage gained on the second day was already obvious, and on the third day, he even forced the enemy's Chinese army back hundreds of zhang...... Day after day, Zhou Yu's hope of breaking through the enemy forces in Dongcheng is also growing.
But correspondingly, more and more people died in Yuan Shujun, and Zhou Yu gradually grasped the power of the army.
Yes, although most of the soldiers and horses brought at the beginning were trained by Zhou Yu himself, in fact, most of them were subordinate to Yuan Shu, and Zhou Yu was just their boss. If Zhou Yu really betrayed Yuan Shu, I'm afraid not many people would be willing to join him. What's more, although most of the people led by Zhou Yu were county soldiers from Huailing, Yuan Shu participated in many generals to prevent Zhou Yu from rebelling.
These days, on the battlefield, using the Jiangdong army, Zhou Yu killed a general sent by Yuan Shu, and gradually gained actual control of the Dongcheng army with victory after victory. Of course, what he did was very secretive, even if Liu Xun watched the battle from the city tower every day, even if the generals sent by Yuan Shu were close to Zhou Budget every day, he still couldn't find the trick in it.
At the South Gate, Liu Feng followed Xun You's suggestion and made a big show of the trend of attacking the city, but in the end, it was often anticlimactic, so that the enemy army at the South Gate was tired of coping with it, and had no time to take care of the battle in Dongcheng, so as to cooperate with Zhou Yu's offensive in Dongcheng.
With the big victories again and again, Zhou Yu's temper became even more "big", and in front of a group of colleagues, he openly did not give Liu Xun face and forcibly interfered in the defense arrangements at night. even openly ridiculed Liu Xun in private, saying that "what qualifications does a person who has been defeated repeatedly qualify to be a taishou", and he will soon "replace him", obviously he wants Liu Xun to hear it.
Liu Xun sneered secretly, Zhou Yu had been portrayed as a rebellious image who was a little clever and arrogant, and did not take his boss in his eyes, so he took advantage of the opportunity of a discussion to reprimand Zhou Yu fiercely by virtue of his identity as a Lujiang Taishou, and made his contradiction with Zhou Yu public.
Zhou Yu was naturally "furious", did not give Liu Xun face, quarreled with Liu Xun in front of a group of colleagues, and finally refused to obey Liu Xun's orders, and left with his supporters, looking extremely arrogant.
Liu Xun, who achieved his goal, was very happy, and a piece of paper was sent to Yuan Shu's desk in Pengcheng. He did not complain to Yuan Shu, and after stating the "facts", on the grounds of his own lack of talent, he asked Zhishi to "implore" Yuan Shu to appoint someone else to serve as the taishou or directly move the young Yingjie Zhou Yu as the taishou.
Liu Xun's recital is just one side, but Yuan Shu has a lot of eyes and ears around Zhou Yu, and he has to report the situation to Yuan Shu regularly, and Yuan Shu is clear about what happened in Shucheng.
That's why he felt embarrassed.
"When I first summoned Zhou Yu, I looked like a gentle and elegant gentleman, why did I become like this as soon as I left and arrived on the battlefield?" Yuan Shu asked his own Shangshu Ling Yan Xiang.
"My subordinates don't know, maybe he is like this, and he is more peaceful in front of His Majesty." Yan Xiang said, "But the minister was wondering if Zhou Yu was doing this on purpose and what he wanted to achieve, after all, his performance was too abnormal, very different from before. Also, why did their Zhou family have no reaction to this? In addition to adding some private soldiers to Zhou Yu under his command, he still kept his door closed as before. ā
"It's possible to be deliberate, but it shouldn't have anything to do with Jiangdong Liu Feng." Yuan Shu showed his "wisdom", "If Zhou Jiazhen has a connection with Jiangdong, under the rule of internal and external cooperation, Shucheng will definitely not be able to support it now." But according to my henchmen, it is true that Zhou Yu led the army out of the city to fight, so far, the Jiangdong army under his command has reached hundreds of thousands, and most of them are elite, who would put a simple plan and choose this lose-lose strategy? ā
This is exactly what the minister doesn't understand, so it's very difficult. If it weren't for the critical juncture ahead, his subordinates would really want to go to Shucheng to see it in person. Yan Xiang said.
"It's an eventful time now, and it will snow soon, how can Aiqing leave!" Yuan Shu said, and then his voice became a little annoyed, "I hate those so-called celebrities, although they have succumbed to me and been appointed to a prominent position, they are unwilling to do things for me, they are all coping. After the surrounding fighting subsides, I will settle accounts with them. ā
"Your Majesty, now is not the time." Yan Xiang reminded.
"I know, so I've endured it." Yuan Shu said, "Let's talk about Lujiang." The contradiction between Liu Zitai and Zhou has become public, and it is time to solve it. Although Liu Zitai asked for Zhishi, I still understood the vague meaning, he asked me to choose between him and Zhou Yu! ā
"Zhou Yu is capable and can win battles, but he is too irritable and disobeys orders, so he can't be a defender." Yan Xiang analyzed, "And Liu Zitai obviously can't convince Zhou Yu, so it is said that it is best to transfer him away." But at this time, you can't do this, otherwise Shucheng will be panicked, which is not conducive to defending the city. For now, His Majesty can send envoys to Shucheng to preside over the defense. ā
"Envoy?" Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and he began to think in his heart.
