Zhou Yu's army lingered in Luoshui for two days, and when he saw that the opposite bank was well guarded, he ordered the army to go down the river. Two days later, the troops found a place downstream where the water was relatively shallow and easy to cross. Zhou Yu stopped the army and began to cut down wood and bamboo, preparing to cross Luoshui in one fell swoop and kill Luoyang.

At this time, the heroic Zhou Yu was in a good mood looking at the winding Luoshui in front of him, and his handsome face was pleasant. Except for the occasional unpredictable smile at the corners of his mouth, anyone thinks that he is moved by the beauty of nature.

Zhou Yu was surrounded by a quiet forest and secluded mountains, and occasionally there were two shouts of soldiers cutting down trees and platoons, and the forest birds were singing tactfully everywhere. Zhou Yu naturally enjoyed this elegant scenery. But at this time, some people didn't know how to break the quiet moment of the forest, Jiang Qin walked with a steady footstep, embraced by several guards, and came looking for steps.

Jiang Qin saw standing on a huge mountain rock, looking at the gentle Luoshui in front of him, the mountain wind blew the black hair from time to time, and he was even more handsome. But Jiang Qin obviously didn't have any aesthetic views, and after seeing Zhou Yu's eyes light up, he strode up, and kept complaining: "The governor is here, but let his subordinates find it." ”

Zhou Yu turned his head and smiled at Jiang Qin, "Gongyi, you're here." ”

Jiang Qin couldn't help but pause, and said with a confused face: "The governor knows that the end is coming?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently, and his clear eyes made it impossible to see through his thoughts. He once again drifted his gaze to Luoshui, watching the schools of small fish swimming by in the water from time to time, and said indifferently: "Of course." ”

Jiang Qinniu's temper came up, and he was slightly unconvinced: "Then does the governor know what happened to the last general?" ”

Zhou Yu suddenly laughed, moved the corners of his mouth and said, "Come for Luoyang." ”

Jiang Qinping said that although he was quite conceited, as time went on, he admired Zhou Yu's skills more and more, and in his mind, Zhou Yu was the second person in Jiangdong after Zhang Lang. Jiang Qin said with admiration on his face: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the governor, and I didn't come here for Luoyang." ”

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Just say it." ”

Jiang Qin reorganized his thoughts a little, and said in a deep voice: "From the perspective of the general, now is not the best time to attack Luoyang. ”

Zhou Yu was slightly interested: "How can you see it?" ”

Charging into battle and attacking the city is Jiang Qin's greatest strength. It is not Jiang Qin's specialty to plan a decisive battle thousands of miles away, and he rarely has his own ideas on the strategy of marching, but at this time, he changed his mind and had a comfortable and happy image. Jiang Qin's strong voice sounded and said: "As for the reason, the general may not necessarily say what is the reason, but I always feel that it is extremely abrupt to take Luoyang Xian now, even if we can take this place, our army will fall into a back-to-back environment." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "The reason why I guessed that you would come to me is because you saw the crisis ahead. Indeed, as you said, it is advisable to attack Luoyang now. Luoyang is close to the Yellow River in the north, the tiger prison in the east, and the Hangu valley in the west. If our army takes this place presumably, what do you think will be the consequences? ”

Although Jiang Qin is brave, it does not mean that he is stupid, on the contrary, if he does not have some brains, it is impossible to come to Zhou Yu at this time.

After Zhou Yu woke up a little, Jiang Qin's face changed and said: "Tiger Prison and Hangu are both in dangerous places, if the two places hold on, it will be extremely difficult to break through in a short period of time, once Luoyang can't find a ship in the north, and the back road is cut off by Xun Yu, our army is embattled and has no way to retreat." I didn't think that this was very likely to be a trap deliberately set by Xun Yu for us to drill. ”

Zhou Yu said with a look of appreciation in his eyes: "Gongyi really understands it at all." Otherwise, do you think Yiyang and Dengfeng will be so easy for our army to take in one fell swoop? It was precisely because they opened the door of convenience that our army approached Luoyang at such a fast speed. ”

Zhou Yu paused, and continued with some unfinished feelings: "From another big aspect, our army's capture of Luoyang is not conducive to the development of the situation. And Liu Bei also went out of the meridian, besieged Lantian and eyed Guanzhong. Once the two families divide the Guanzhong, they will be close to the border with our army, and they will be in a long time, but they are afraid that there will be a big chaos. At this time, Cao Ying is sitting firmly in Hebei, and the lord has to guard against Cao and Liu, but he is afraid that he is a little powerless. ”

Jiang Qin's face was full of admiration: "The Governor's analysis is very reasonable. After he exclaimed, his expression immediately became a little confused: "Since the Governor has seen through their tricks, why do you still cut down wood and build boats here?" ”

Zhou Yu said inscrutablely: "Since Xun Yu has come up with such a trick to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, how can I live up to his good intentions?" ”

Jiang Qin was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that the governor wants to plan and kill Xun Yu in one fell swoop?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head, and said with a slightly regretful expression: "Xun Yu is an old fox, it is not easy to deceive him." What I wonder now is, how could such a simple plan to invite the king like an urn come from the hands of Xun Yu, who has been fighting against the Governor of Pontus in recent years, and has known each other more well, and wants to deceive the Governor of Pontus with such a simple scheme? I believe Xun Yu won't be so ignorant, right? If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid this is just a prelude, and there are even more hidden tricks in the back. ”

Jiang Qin chuckled in his heart, secretly calling out that this plan is still simple? If there is no reminder from Zhou Yu, I am afraid that I will not be able to understand the mystery. If it is really as Zhou Yu said, there are serial killing moves under Xun Yu, then the skills of these two people to play power and plot are too profound. And what about yourself? I'm afraid that I'll die when the time comes, and I don't know what's going on. Thinking of this, Jiang Qin said with some embarrassment: "The gods are counted, and their subordinates are beyond the reach of the whip." ”

Zhou Yu carried his hands on his back, and the jade tree was in the wind, and he said: "I am cutting wood and making bamboo now, just to disrupt Xun Yu's arrangement." He thought we wouldn't dare to march into Luoyang, but I just did it for him. ”

Jiang Qin was already dizzy when he heard this, and said in a daze: "Isn't this more in Xun Yu's arms, he can't wait for the governor to rush to Luoyang now." ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Logging is true, but killing Luoyang is not necessarily. ”

When Jiang Qin heard the word "kill", his spirit immediately perked up, swept away the dull expression just now, and said excitedly: "Where is the governor going to kill?" ”

Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head and said with a dumb smile: "I was preparing to go down Xingyang along Luoshui, and then transfer to Xuchang." ”

Jiang Qin lost his voice and said, "Ah." General, you ......"

Zhou Yu smiled: "What, doesn't it feel very risky?" ”

Jiang Qin nodded again and again: "Exactly." ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "This plan must be beyond their expectations, how can Xuchang say that it is also where Cao Ying's lair is now, if it can be done in one go, then the previous rumors are afraid that they will become true immediately, and Cao Ying will move the capital to Yecheng." This will be of great help to the great cause of the Lord. And Xingyang strongly supports Yingchuan and Xuchang, and once Xingyang is broken, these two places are like sitting on needles, and they will not be peaceful in the end. Now the biggest problem is how to take Xingyang, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 10,000 Cao soldiers guarding it. I can't take it in a short time, but I'm afraid that there will be a danger of being wrapped. The governor of Pontus was also thinking hard about this question just now, but he was afraid that this would be a trap for Xun Yu again. ”

Jiang Qin was nervous and didn't dare to say angrily: "This matter is very important, and I hope the general will think twice." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry about this, the governor of Pontus has his own measure." ”

Jiang Qin saw that Zhou Yu's decision had been decided, so he didn't say much, and went out to urge the soldiers to speed up their progress.

At the same time, Yingchuan City, the county pastor's house.

Xun Yu and his party were in an emergency meeting, and Xun Yu asked: "Lord Xun, are you so sure that Zhou Yu will go to the front line of Xingyang?" ”

Although Xun Yu is getting older, he is getting more and more old and steady, he looks thin, dressed as a Confucian, with a few locks of beard on his face, quite a fairy style. Hearing this, he smiled and said in an affirmative tone: "The duel will be like this, Luoyang is a place, and he doesn't dare to take it now." And Zhou Yu went down the Luoshui River and cut down trees to build boats, just to make a false impression and trick us into reinforcing the troops, so that Zhao Yun could take the opportunity to attack Yingchuan. And Xingyang is the rear position of Yingchuan and Xuchang, if this place is lost, Zhou Yu's choice will be greatly increased, not only can I cut off my back road, and Zhao Yun will attack Yingchuan; You can also sneak attack Xuchang on horseback, so that our army can be attacked on multiple fronts. ”

The lieutenant general volunteered: "I am not willing to take people and horses to Xingyang and dedicate Zhou Yu's head to the adults." ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said: "No, we don't want to do anything now, once we startle the snake and let Zhou Yu find out our intentions, I'm afraid that everything will be wasted." ”

The lieutenant general couldn't help but fight, and said with some disappointment: "Can we only wait and see now?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Don't worry, when he approached Xingyang and was about to start attacking, our army suddenly drove out and cut off his back road, so that Zhou Yu could be captured alive." ”

All the generals will bow down.

After a few more days, Zhou Yu's front army finally began to act.

After tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops wandered in the Luoshui area for more than ten days, they began to take bamboo rows down Luoshui.

Halfway through the road, Zhou Yu suddenly stopped and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to enter the mountains of Sankun and hide the army. Early in the morning of the second day, the troops immediately divided into two routes, one was led by Jiang Qin with 10,000 soldiers, and let them cross Songshan and take Yingchuan directly. The other route hides himself secretly in the Sankun Mountains, ready to move at the right time. This move really disrupted Xun Yu's troops. At this time, Xun Yu kept counting the hours in Yingchuan, and a general suddenly hurriedly came to report: "My lord, the situation has changed. In Songshan, some local people found that a large number of soldiers and horses were rushing towards Yingchuan. ”

Xun Yu couldn't believe it: "What? Are the sources reliable? ”

The deputy general said: "My subordinates have sent people to investigate, and there are indeed traces of a large number of soldiers and horses in the Songshan area. ”

Xun Yu was shocked, thought about it carefully, and immediately said with some eyebrows: "Could it be that Zhou Yu wants to take me Yingchuan directly?" ”

The deputy general's name is Hao Zhao, a talent that Xun Yu values very much, and he said a little anxiously: "My lord, if Zhou Yu's purpose is really in Yingchuan, then he should immediately recruit General Wang Shuang, who has just set off for Xingyang, otherwise with the current strength of Yingchuan, he will not be able to resist the attack of Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun." ”

Xun Yu said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry, let's see what the situation is saying." The road from Xingyang to Yingchuan is not far, the fast horse is only a few days, and the walk is only half a decade. Even if Zhou Yu and Zhao Yun had any good plans, it was impossible to take Yingchuan in such a short time. If I guessed correctly, it should be that Zhou Yubing divided into two roads, all the way to Songshan, the purpose is to transfer back our Wang Shuang's forces, and the other way is the real main force, ready to take Xingyang. If I am so reckless and transferred back to Wang Shuang, I am afraid that it will be in Zhou Yu's arms. ”

Hao Zhao said angrily: "I didn't expect this Zhou Yu to be so cunning. ”

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Soldier, treacherous." However, everything will not change without a trace, and you will have to learn more in the future. ”

Hao Zhao was taught: "I don't understand. ”

Xun Yu was unmoved, which seemed to imply that Zhou Yu's plan had failed. But what kind of person is Zhou Yu, how could he think that such a simple idea could deceive Xun Yu, the fox? Three days after Jiang Qin's troops were dispatched, Zhao Yun, who was stationed in Zhaoling, and Zhou Tai, who was stationed in Xiangcheng, received orders from Zhou Yu at the same time to start a fierce attack on Yingchuan.

Zhao Yun, who was already gearing up, led 30,000 horses to attack Xinjicheng, and Zhou Tai led 20,000 horses to attack Yingyang County. The two lines suppressed most of Yingchuan's soldiers and horses at the same time, making them unable to expand and move for a short time.

Yingchuan was attacked by the Jiangdong Army from two sides, and the situation suddenly became tense. At this time, almost all the front-line people in Yingchuan County have been contained, and there are only tens of thousands of horses left in Yingchuan City, and Xun Yu in Yingchuan City has a feeling of being overstretched for a while.

Zhao Yun and Zhou Tai attacked for several days, and the Yingchuan defense line immediately became stormy. At this time, Jiang Qin's troops, under the banner of Zhou Yu, claimed to be 50,000 horses, quickly crossed Songshan, and the troops drove at full speed and went straight to Yingchuan.

Yingchuan was embattled for a while, and the situation turned around.

When it was said that because Cao Ying was flooded by Zhang Lang and lost a large number of troops, and many people and horses were contained by Ma and Liu's armies in Guanzhong, and the Hebei army was in a hurry to draw back, so although Cao Ying was empty of the power of China and Hebei, but here in Yanzhou, it was difficult to recruit troops for a while, so Zhang Lang and Zhou Yu were so pressed.

Xun Yu began to become a little impatient, the land of Yingchuan, guarding the Xuchang Gate where it is, can not be lost, but Jiangdong three ways attack, the momentum is extremely huge, and it is difficult to come up with a contingency for a while.
