261 - Rumors

Yao Yu understood it, and he made trouble for a long time, and he came to Lujiang County to find him.

Realizing this, Yao Yu's expression became particularly gloomy.

No matter how you say it, it is also a commander who controls and commands thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, and this change of face directly frightened Guo Zhan.

I saw Yao Yu tilting his head and looking at Guo Zhan: "Master Guo, are you joking with me?" โ€

Guo Zhan's expression was embarrassed: "What does General Yao Jun mean by this?" โ€

"I don't know what the local rules are, but Lujiang County was brought by my subordinates with great effort. If it's up to you to manage, let's not say whether you can manage it well. If Chen Min makes a comeback, what will you do? Can you guarantee to defend the Lujiang River? Can you guarantee a stable life for the people? You can't guarantee anything, and who gave you the courage to come to me to ask for Lujiang! Yes! โ€

"But General Yao, this, this is the rule, you can't..."

Yao Yu waved his hand and directly interrupted Guo Zhan's words: "I don't know what rules are unruly, I only know that I am responsible for the people of Lujiang County." You go back and tell Wang Tingshi that it's okay to ask for Lujiang, and wait until I defeat Chen Min. When the time comes, I will naturally ask the court to play. Let's see if Lujiang is handed over to Wang Tingshi. Moreover, don't take me for a fool, Lujiang is subordinate to Yangzhou, even if you want to invite the imperial court, there will naturally be Yangzhou Assassin Shi to take over. Okay, let's go, I still have business to do, so I won't accept it. โ€

After speaking, Yao Yu flicked his sleeves and turned away.

What else did Guo Zhan want to say, but Lu Bi took a step forward and looked at him with a gloomy face.

For a while, Guo Zhan was frightened by Lu Bi's performance, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to follow, so he could only stomp away.

After Guo Zhan left, the generals found Yao Yu and didn't understand what Guo Zhan was doing.

Yao Yu put his hands behind his back, looked at the hall, and suddenly smiled: "You still need to ask, it must be Chen Min and Wang Cheng who have colluded, wait, it won't be long before Wang Cheng will do something to us, before that, everyone, please be careful to prepare for war." Chen Zhong. โ€

Chen Zhong took a step forward: "Here, my lord." โ€

"You take the first step, take your subordinates to make a detailed start, enter Jiangling City in advance, monitor Jingzhou at the same time, and spread rumors that Wang Cheng is plotting against him."

"Yes, sir."

"Shen Lin, you lead 5,000 troops, join up with Yongji, refuse to defend the river, and strictly prevent Chen Min from taking the opportunity to counterattack."

The generals were puzzled: "What about you, my lord?" โ€

Yao Yu said with a smile: "As for me, I naturally want to lead the army and counterattack Jingzhou at the moment when Wang Cheng tore his face." Go, send someone to summon Ah Bao Kong Xiao and them. In addition, let people go to Runan, let Quan Yan and Man Kuang command 5,000 troops to the south, as long as my order arrives, break through Chihyeon, open up the connection between Runan and Jiangxia, and then threaten Xiangyang and Nanjun. โ€

Everyone looked at each other and answered yes.

Only Gao Kan groaned: "My lord, isn't it a bit too radical to transfer all the generals and lieutenants at this time." After all, Runan is our home base. โ€

"Don't worry, I believe in the second brother's ability, five thousand people are enough for him. What's more, Quan Yan Mankuang was originally used for clamping. Buy time for our army to annex Jiangxia. โ€

Speaking of this, Yao Yu also paused: "But before that, we still have to wait for Wang Cheng to do it." โ€

"Wait for Wang Cheng? Why? โ€

"For the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou, we are here to quell the rebellion, we are the imperial army, not the rebels, if we take the lead, in the hearts of the Jingzhou soldiers and civilians, it is inevitable to fall into the truth. But if Wang Cheng makes the first move, then the problem will be different. He backstabbed us first, and we fought back, as it should be. When the time comes, it will be justified to take Jingzhou. All the armies go down and prepare to go. โ€

Everyone said yes and turned to go.

In this way, Yao Yu's side is like a sophisticated war machine, under Yao Yu's orders, all armies have arrived at the established position, as long as they move, within ten days, they can swallow Jiangxia.

On the other hand, Wang Cheng was only furious after learning that Yao Yu refused Guo Zhan's appointment, he didn't want to recruit soldiers from all over the country to deal with Yao Yu, who might counterattack at any time, but after discussing with Guo Shu, he decided to cut off Yao Yu's grain and grass first.

The thinking of the two of them had already decided the outcome of the battle.

Perhaps, for Wang Cheng, he didn't believe it, and he couldn't believe that Yao Yu would do it at this time.

Especially his cousin Wang Yan, who also served as a high-ranking official in the court.

Facts have proved that Wang Cheng thought too much, and when he cut off the supply to Yao Yu as soon as possible, Yao Yu secretly ordered Chen Zhong to send a fine work to spread rumors throughout Jingzhou, saying that Wang Cheng and Chen Min colluded to cut off the logistics supply of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and wanted to take action against the Southern Expeditionary Army of the Imperial Court.

Not only that, Wang Cheng even promised Chen Min to destroy Yao Yu, and let Chen Min's troops wantonly loot in Jingzhou.

For a while, the people of Jingzhou were panicked, and under the encouragement of rumors, everyone believed that Wang Cheng had betrayed the people of Jingzhou.

As a result, people marched on the streets every day, and even if the county magistrates from all over the country sent people to arrest them, they could not be arrested, so that the prisons were filled.

Rumors spread, Wang Cheng was somewhat panicked, he sent people to appease the people, but it had no effect.

In this case, Wang Cheng couldn't help but find Guo Shu to discuss the supply of grain and grass to Yao Yu again.

Otherwise, he didn't have to wait for Yao Yu to do it, just the excited people were enough for him to have a headache.

Guo Shu also experienced this kind of thing for the first time, in his opinion, Wang Cheng has been running Jingzhou for several years, and it shouldn't be like this.

However, the development of things was unexpected, and the people who were in turmoil had been suffering for a long time, and they seized the opportunity, but they didn't want to make trouble.

In Yaojia Village, Xiaoling County, Jingzhou, Yao Qing was a little panicked when he learned that Yao Yu had been cut off from grain and grass and that the Southern Expeditionary Army was trapped in the Lujiang River.

From the very beginning of Yao Yu's southern expedition, Yaojiacun was happy after learning the news, after all, Yao Yu came from Yaojiacun, he was beautiful, and everyone had a bright face.

Now it is rumored everywhere in Jingzhou that Wang Cheng and Chen Min have joined forces to deal with Yao Yu, as Yao Yu's second uncle, Yao Qing is not in a hurry to say anything?

No, he found some elders in Yaojia Village to discuss with his third brother Yao Zheng: "Everyone, Yu'er is in danger now, and we elders can't just watch it." โ€

Among the same clan, Yao Erhu patted his chest and said: "Uncle Qing, don't talk about it, Brother Yu is the pride of our Yaojia Village." That damn Wang Cheng dared to deal with Brother Yu, so let's just turn against him. Anyway, Wang Cheng doesn't do good things in Jingzhou on weekdays. It is also to increase taxes and oppress the people. Let's take a move to break through Xiaoling County, and let Wang Cheng know that the people of Yaojia Village are not easy to mess with. โ€
