Hurried footsteps sounded in a remote house in the middle of the city.

A man sat cross-legged in the courtyard and landed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard on the desk.

"The Lord"

"The Lord"

The voice sounded in my ears, and more than a dozen people strode from the front.

Zhou Yu looked in the direction of the voice, and there was an inquiring look in his eyes.

"Zhou Ping is back"

"Let Him Come Over"

"No"

A man bowed to Zhou Yu and said, then turned to leave.

After a while, Zhou Ping walked over and bowed to Zhou Yu.

"The villain is not doing well, please punish the lord"

"The world is like a chess game, and it is not your fault that you are sweating, how can you be blamed? Besides, Guo Dapang is quite prestigious in the Shanyue clan, and this matter is normal."

Zhou Yu said slowly, but he was thinking about the situation in Yangzhou.

Then he turned the conversation to Zhou Ping.

"I just don't know why you came back so late? Do you know that the situation in Jiangnan has changed dramatically?"

"Jia's shadow guard is quite difficult, and in order to avoid the pursuit, he can only take a detour, so he came back a little late. As for the situation in Jiangnan, the villain also learned a little about it on the way."

Zhou Ping paused slightly when he said this.

Organize the words in your heart and say to Zhou Yu.

"I heard that Peng Qing was put into Jia Nian's command under Guo Dapang's proposal, and now Yuzhang's three thousand elite cavalry and Yu Khan's three thousand Shanyue soldiers marched from the mountains, and because of the emptiness of Huiji and Wu County, they swept through a county."

"It is said that not long ago, the Huiji County Government was captured, and the soldiers of the three thousand Shanyue have also been drawn in the direction of Taimo City."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ping's expression was a little complicated, and he thought that Guo Dapang designed to kill Yu Yancai just to fight for power and profit. But now it seems that this person's vision is unique and breathtaking. I have to admit that it is the wisest choice for the Shanyue clan to take refuge in Yuzhang, even if it is a person from the Zhou family, it is also happy and convinced.

"Sending you to Yu Khan actually wanted to drag Shanyue and prevent them from taking refuge in Yuzhang County too early, and now it seems that he still underestimated Peng Qing's strategists."

"The general trend of Jiangnan has changed, and it will inevitably be a bitter battle next"

"I'll have to prepare a lot"

Zhou Yu said as he picked up a chess piece and put it on the chessboard.

With the sound of the falling chess pieces, my thoughts gradually became clear.

"Now Yuzhang has subdued Shanyue and swept the Huijian soldiers to knock on Wu County"

"If my expectations are good, the Danyang County Government will inevitably divide troops to help, and a big war will break out between the two sides in Wu County."

"And General Ji will also pass on the message of the Marquis of Hefei, and the soldiers and horses of Hefei will rush to help"

"But in my opinion, I am only afraid of losing more and winning less"

Zhou Yu's tone was a little heavy, this was obviously not what he wanted to see.

Everyone was stunned, showing a puzzled look, judging from the strength of the troops, it is still Yuan Zhoumu who has the advantage, how can he say that there are more defeats and fewer victories? Don't look at Yu Zhang's sweeping meeting seems to be unstoppable, but don't forget that it's because of the emptiness of the hinterland. Even if you occupy it, what can you do? Unless it is fully integrated, the newly occupied land can be used for its own use. Otherwise, it will only lengthen the food supply out of thin air, which will be harmful and unprofitable.

Once the Marquis of Hefei divided his troops to help, the lost Huiji County could naturally take it back.

Zhou Ping thought quickly, and almost instantly thought of the crux of the problem.

"Is the lord worried about Shanyue?"

"Although the Shanyue clan has been defeated every year, the heritage still exists, and it is only because of the scarcity of material wealth that it gives people a sense of weakness. Now that it has been recovered by Yuzhang County, it will inevitably receive a steady stream of supplies. A force of more than 10,000 mountains and crosses can be gathered in an instant. If this army is formed, the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River will no longer be owned by Yuanzhou Mu."

"Do I need to remind Yuan Zhoumu?"

"Why be reminded? This is the general trend, and Yuan Zhoumu naturally understands it."

"Is there a way to break the game?"

"Nope"

Zhou Yu shook his head at Zhou Ping.

Everyone's hearts became at the same time, and as a member of the Zhou family, Zhou Yu shared honor and disgrace. At this time, Zhou Yu was attached to the Sun family, and the Sun family listened to orders under Yuan Zhoumu. It's like a big boat, only when the water level raises its own status can it be improved. On the other hand, if the water level drops, that's the last thing you want.

"It's just that I can wait until I can take Lujiang County for the Lord."

"With the help of the pressure brought by Yuzhang County, we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort"

Zhou Yu thought of Lujiang, and the worries in his eyes disappeared.

Everyone was stunned and looked puzzled.

Seeing that Jia Yuzhang was about to sweep Yuzhang and Wu County, why did the lord think that this matter was beneficial to the Sun family's capture of Lujiang? Their eyes intertwined with each other, and finally they all looked at Zhou Yu.

Seeing the scorching light, Zhou Yu said to them.

"Yuan Zhoumu is full of talents, but at the same time the voice is too mixed, now the rise of Yuzhang in the south of the Yangtze River has begun to emerge, if you can't meet the head attack, it will become a big trouble, and even in danger of dying."

"Therefore, the state pastor will inevitably come up and down, and the lord can also attack the Lujiang River with peace of mind."

The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled up slightly.

Zhou Ping's lips moved, and he swallowed his words stiffly, it seemed that the lord didn't want to deliberately prevaricate explicitly.

"Zhou Ping, you pack your bags and take some people to the Yangtze River"

"Yangtze River?"

"Yes"

Zhou Yu answered, reached out and took out a roll of bamboo slips from the case.

Zhou Ping respectfully took the bamboo slip, revealing a blank look.

"There are things you need to do in the bamboo slips, and the speed must be fast"

"No"

Zhou Ping bowed to Zhou Yu and said.

Zhou Yu looked around at everyone and commanded them.

"Pack up your bags, and you will go with Zhou Ping"

"No"

The crowd was furious.

Zhou Ping asked puzzled.

"The lord asked me to wait to go to Dajiang, isn't there no one to call around?"

"I'm about to go to Qiao Rui's department to bring people there, but it's inconvenient, so it's better to leave it to you."

"Qiao Rui's department?"

"Wu County is the key, Qiao Rui's return to help has become a foregone conclusion, if I go, I will be able to give him a helping hand to buy time for you, the lord, and Yuan Zhoumu"

"No"

Zhou Ping said to Zhou Yu, and walked to a room in front of him.

Seeing this, everyone bowed and bowed, and then followed.

Zhou Yu listened to the dense footsteps, and reached out to put away the chess pieces on the desk one by one. The situation in Jiangnan is critical, but Qiao Rui's department is also a great luck in misfortune, relying on Qiao Rui's appreciation of himself to assist on the side, but he can also buy time for the lord and Yuan Zhoumu.

When the last chess piece was withdrawn, Zhou Yu's eyes showed a hint of war, and then walked towards the lobby. Don't think that only you Yuzhang have the soldiers of Shanyue, after receiving the benefits for so long, it's time to repay the favors you owed back then. Otherwise, with the speed of Yuzhang County, Wu County may not be able to support Qiao Rui's department to return.

Reach for a birdcage and slowly open it.

Pigeons soar from their cages and whizz south.

Zhou Yu's eyes showed an expectant look, and there was no doubt that with the arrival of this carrier pigeon at its destination, the situation in Wu County would change greatly.
