The carrier pigeon flew to Shouchun Qiao's house, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. One reached out to untie the silk book on it, and then walked into a room.

Some people took out bamboo slips and checked them word by word, and some people held blank bamboo slips to write on them. After a while, a roll of bamboo slips full of words appeared, and he ran wildly in the direction of the lobby with both hands.

Qiao Rui, who had just come out of the room, looked at the soldiers who came in a hurry, and there was an ominous look in her heart. I don't know exactly what it was, but I still feel like it's just coming out of nowhere.

Now that Jia Nian's troops have besieged Shouchun and have not moved, as the Shouchun guard, he is secretly happy in his heart. After all, there is plenty of food in Shouchun City, and there is no worry about this in a short period of time. Moreover, the Lord is personally leading the army to meet Jingzhou, and once Jingzhou retreats, the offensive and defensive momentum will be immediately reversed. That is to say, time is in itself, and no longer in Jiangnan.

Not long ago, I heard that Xuzhou sent troops, and Jia Nian's defeat was already doomed.

It's a pity to overcome all the obstacles all the way, from the destruction of the family to the rise of Chaohu Lake, and even to sit in the south of the Yangtze River. In the end, it was difficult to escape defeat, and it was still defeated at the hands of the lord. In the final analysis, it is just the gap caused by the background, if this person is after the Yuan family, then the result may be reversed.

Qiao Rui looked a little proud when she thought of this.

"Newspaper"

"Xuzhou Emergency"

The voice pulled Qiao Rui back to reality, and her eyes fell on the bamboo slips. Reaching out to open it, the happy mood gradually subsided.

"Smack"

Zhu Jian closed his brow and furrowed, and a tricky feeling came to his mind.

Look at the soldier and give him a quick command.

"Immediately call the generals to the meeting"

"No"

The soldier bowed and quickly left.

Feel the temperature on the bamboo slips. Qiao Rui took a deep breath, forcibly calmed her heart, and then walked in the direction of the lobby. I was still combing through the news of Xuzhou in my mind, and I thought that the victory was in my hands, but I didn't expect to usher in a slap in the face.

The soldiers and horses who opened up overseas not only secretly stationed in Jianye, but also took the opportunity to capture Guangling County. In other words, Jiujiang will face a threat from Guangling County, Xuzhou, and it is possible that tens of thousands of troops are rushing in the direction of Shouchun.

Xuzhou has been crippled after this battle, losing half of its troops, and urgently negotiating peace with Jiangnan. This move is equivalent to breaking the covenant, which shows how much pressure Xuzhou Mu is under.

The generals of the Yuan clan rushed in, looking at Qiao Rui, who was sitting in the seat with a sad brow, and his already low heart sank a little again. Isn't the situation exactly as expected? Why is the general worried?

"Meet the General"

"Meet the General"

The generals of the Yuan clan bowed to Qiao Rui, who was sitting on the main seat.

Qiao Rui put the bamboo slip in his hand on the table in front of him, his eyes swept over everyone's bodies one by one, and the silent pressure diffused. In the end, it fell on Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, and they sighed lightly without making a sound.

The brief silence made the generals extremely depressed, and ominous emotions diffused.

"News came from Xuzhou"

"Not long ago, Xuzhou sent troops to build a business, but it was ambushed by the soldiers of Shanyue and the coalition army of the wealthy families in Jiangnan, and most of the 20,000 troops were lost. Then the soldiers and horses of Jiangnan went north, and almost bloodless captured Guangling County"

"I don't know why Xuzhou Mu urgently sent an envoy to sue for peace, and at the cost of ceding Guangling, let Jiangnan strike the army"

"Now that the two sides have made peace, my Shouchun City may face an attack from Guangling County."

"Once the Jiangnan troops who captured Guangling arrived, under the siege of three sides, my Shouchun would be in danger."

"I wonder if the generals have a good way to break the enemy?"

The sound surrounded the ears, and the generals felt the pressure like a mountain. Didn't Xuzhou just send troops? Why did you lose Guangling County in a blink of an eye? Countless thoughts flooded in my mind, but I couldn't find a satisfactory plan.

The alliance of Shanyue and the wealthy families of the Jiangnan family? Doesn't that mean that the development of overseas is a cover, not only pit the lord but also pit Xuzhou. Swallowing three counties in one go, this Jia Yuzhang's appetite is not ordinarily good.

"Newspaper"

"General Qiyu"

"The Lujiang County Government is lost, and Lu Kang and Lu Meng's department are galloping in the direction of my Shouchun"

The sudden appearance of violence interrupted the generals' thoughts, and a soldier shouted to Qiao Rui. Lujiang County was lost, and Guangling County of Xuzhou changed hands. These two pieces of news are like two mountains, turning the ominousness in my heart into deep fear.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Qiao Rui who was sitting on the main seat, and at this time he was sticking to it, which was obviously the most irrational decision.

"General"

"The two counties of Lujiang and Guangling live on both sides of my Jiujiang, and now Xuzhou and Jiangnan are making peace, and they have no worries at this time."

"Although Shouchun has his back to Yuzhou, but the state pastor is facing the soldiers of Jingzhou and cannot come to help, I Shouchun thinks it is a lonely city. It would be unwise to defend it, so it is better to retreat to Runan."

A general said to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui quickly thought about the current situation, showing a hesitant look. looked around again, and finally fell on Zhou Yu's body.

"If you retreat at this time, you can still protect the safety of Yuzhou, and if you stay for a long time, I am afraid that something will happen."

"The general can make quick decisions"

Zhou Yu bowed to Qiao Rui and said.

Qiao Rui looked puzzled.

"According to Gongjin's words, will the soldiers and horses of Jiangnan still enter the hinterland of my Yuzhou?"

"Jia Nian is a tiger and wolf, everything is left behind, and the way of reality is dazzling. If our army sticks to Shouchun, maybe it will use Shouchun as a threat and carry out a strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements. At that time, if the state pastor rushed to help, the troops would inevitably be scattered, how could they withstand the joint attack of Jiangnan and Jingzhou? In the same way, if the state pastor does not send troops to help, then this person will attack Shouchun, and then wave his army to attack Yuzhou."

Zhou Yu paused slightly when he said this.

Quickly organize the words in your mind and keep talking.

"Therefore, our army should take the initiative to retreat and garrison at the junction of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, so that it cannot besiege the city and send reinforcements and divide and attack it."

Jia Nian swallowed three counties in one go, and he urgently needed time to integrate internally. Seeing that Yuzhou cannot be seized, it will not move to rest and recuperate. We can also get a chance to breathe and find out in detail when Xuzhou happened, and why did you negotiate peace with Jiangnan alone? ”

Listening to this analysis, all the generals nodded, worthy of being General Qiao's favorite son-in-law. The strategy in the chest is convincing. So he bowed to Qiao Rui, who was sitting on the main seat, and said one after another.

"This is reasonable, please ask the general to retreat to Yuzhou"

"Please retreat to Yuzhou"

The voices surrounded the ears, and everyone spoke in unison.

Qiao Rui's expression changed a few times, and when she thought of the current situation, she immediately sighed. What can be done about such a big event? Is it really possible to keep Shouchun with the current situation?

"The order was sent down to carry a grain load from the city and evacuate to Yuzhou. Even if the general gives up Shouchun, he will only leave them an empty city."

"No"

The generals shouted loudly.
