This time, Zhou Yu didn't wait for the famous doctor to treat him, his condition deteriorated too quickly, and he didn't even wait for the palace imperial doctor sent by Sun Quan from Jianye to treat him.

Zhang Xi, who is separated by the Yangtze River, didn't know what to feel when he learned the news of Zhou Yu's death.

At the beginning of November, Zhou Yu had just led the Eastern Wu army to withdraw from Jiangling, and at the end of November, the news of Zhou Yu's death in Baqiu reached Jiangling.

Really, it was so sudden that Zhang Xi didn't know how to go home and inform his daughter-in-law of the bad news.

But no matter what, in November of the eighth year of Jianxing, Zhou Yu, a famous general, died of illness in Baqiu.

History returns to its familiar places.

When Sun Quan heard the bad news, he cried and fainted on the spot, and announced that he would strike the dynasty for January and personally treat Zhou Yu's funeral.

At the same time, Sun Quan posthumously made Zhou Yu a loyal marquis.

Worried about the country and forgetting the family and saying loyalty; The king is loyal to the end; Dead Guard Society Ji said loyalty.

There is virtue in the land; The armor has a labor Xiang; Because of the merit.

This nickname can fully reflect Zhou Yu's status in Sun Quan's heart, and it is also the final conclusion of Zhou Yu's life.

After the funeral, Sun Quan personally sent the funeral and buried Zhou Yu at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain, that is, on the side of Sun Quan's own imperial mausoleum, accompanied by monarchs and ministers.

If things just come to this, then it can be said that Sun Quan still values Zhou Yu a lot.

But then Sun Quan did one thing, it really was. Some are hard to evaluate.

This matter has to start with the military system of Soochow and the world military system.

Zhou Yu, as the general of Eastern Wu, is worthy of the name of the first person in the army, and the scale of the world soldiers that he can control can be 6,000 people. These 6,000 people need to be supported by Zhou Yu's money, and at the same time, they can also be passed on to Zhou Yu's descendants.

It stands to reason that after Zhou Yu's death, Zhou Yu's eldest son Zhou Xun inherited the title, and naturally he also inherited Zhou Yu's soldiers. These 6,000 soldiers should belong to the commander of Zhou Xun.

But Sun Quan casually found a reason to split the 6,000-person quota of the world soldier system into two, giving Zhou Xun a quota of 3,000 soldiers, Zhou Yin a quota of 3,000 soldiers, and the two brothers divided the quota of the 6,000 soldiers equally.

In this way, it seems that Zhou Yu's two sons have not been treated badly, but in fact, it is a disguised reduction of Zhou Yu's original quota for world soldiers.

Although everyone doesn't dare to say this on the surface, no matter what they think in private, they have everything.

What's the use of wealth and glory in life, how high the funeral is, how good the nickname is, it's only for the dead. This treatment for future generations is what everyone values the most.

In these years, the ultimate goal of serving the king is not to make a wife and a son, but Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, who has done his best for Da Wu and died, after his death, the treatment of future generations has become like this, so what about his turn? !

No matter what Sun Quan's considerations are, but what he did Sun Shangxiang did after learning about it, he wrote a letter and sent someone to Jianye to Sun Quan, directly scolding Sun Quan in the letter for being an ungrateful bastard.

Originally, this letter was written by Sun Shangxiang to Sun Quan, and no one dared to open it to outsiders, so the people who knew it were only Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang but didn't know what was going on.

This directly made Sun Quan anxious, and he had to symbolically raise the quota of the world military system to 4,000 for Zhou Xun and Zhou Yin, which was used to calm down the people's criticism.

Of course, in the end, Sun Quan also found out who leaked this secret, Sun Quan's cheap brother-in-law.

In addition to Zhang Xi, who else can know the content of the letter so clearly, and who has the motivation and ability to spread the content of the letter to Jiangdong everywhere?!

Well, that bastard did it.

And actually. It was really Zhang Xi who did it.

On the one hand, now there is a clear enemy country between the Han Dynasty and Eastern Wu, and this kind of thing that hits the prestige of the enemy's monarch and weakens the cohesion of the enemy's monarch and ministers, Zhang Xi is a bad brain.

On the other hand, Zhang Xi is also for Zhou Yu to be uneven. A person who has worked hard for you all his life, after you die, you will give this treatment to your son in a blink of an eye, right?!

If you Sun Quan dare to do it, I, Zhang Xi, will dare to say it.

Besides, Zhang Xi was originally very dissatisfied with Sun Quan, because after the death of Zhou Yu in history, Sun Quan did it, which was even less called personnel.

In history, Zhou Yu died early, and Zhou Xun was not yet an adult, so Sun Quan handed over Zhou Yu's soldiers to Lu Su for temporary collection, which is reasonable.

After all, in terms of the relationship between Lu Su and Zhou Yu, as well as Lu Su's character, no one believed that Lu Su could swallow Zhou Yu's world soldiers.

But when Lu Su dies, and Zhou Xun becomes an adult, there are only 2,000 soldiers left in Zhou Xun's hands, do you dare to believe that this is the governor of Eastern Wu, Zhou Yu, who led the troops after the Chibi broke Cao Cao, should lead the number of world soldiers? !

Sun Quan is true in the middle, he doesn't want any cheekiness, he didn't even give a reason, and directly deducted the number of Zhou Yu's soldiers.

In this time and space, although Sun Quan has a little face, and his appearance is not so ugly, in Zhang Xi's eyes, the style of doing things is still so dirty and hateful.

Zhou Yu has been working hard for you for almost 20 years, and has been helping you stabilize your foundation, but the extra 20 years of effort will be exchanged for you to look a little better? !

Now Zhang Xi can understand why Chen Shou said that Sun Quan was "too jealous of sex, and he was killed", if it weren't for Zhou Yu's great credit, I'm afraid the end would not be much better than the Lu Xun in history.

It's not cool anyway.

But no matter how unhappy Zhang Xi is, that's all he can do.

Although Jiangling has now withdrawn from the siege, Zhang Xi has a lot to do.

When Zhou Yu withdrew from Jiangling, there were 36,000 people in Jiangling City, of which 9,000 were reinforcements from the three eastern counties brought by Kou Feng.

In other words, under Zhou Yu's two-month siege, Zhang Xi's garrison was sharply reduced from 37,000 to 27,000. 10,000 people were killed in the battle.

This amount of strength was no longer enough for Zhang Xi to launch a counterattack when Zhou Yu withdrew his troops.

As for Yidu County, although Zong Pre held the last two counties of Yidu County with the help of Li Qiu, their remaining troops only added up to more than 6,000 people.

Coupled with the defeat in the water battle, the 7,000 sailors who finally retreated to Patong County. In the defensive battle of Jiangling, the Jiangling defenders under Zhang Xi also lost nearly half of their troops.

This amount of troops is only enough to barely regain control of the situation in the counties after the withdrawal of troops from Soochow, so as not to let Gangneung fall into the post-war public security war, and if you want to launch a counteroffensive on the spot, you can't even think about it.

Therefore, during this time, Zhang Xi has been busy stabilizing the situation in Jiangling City and the surrounding counties, guiding the fleeing people to return to their homes and produce with peace of mind.

In any era, it is easier to destroy than to govern, and the current Zhangxi is in the most troublesome stage of post-war governance.

I was busy until the end of November, and I really didn't have time to care about what was going on in the outside world.

And during this time, in the Heluo area, Sima Yi, who had been standing still outside Luoyang for almost a month, arranged for Xiahouba and Wang Ling to continue to besiege the city, and he led 30,000 troops to the south suddenly into Yingchuan, and rushed all the way to the periphery of Xuchang, and fought an encounter with the 20,000 Hanzhong soldiers led by Wu Yi in Yingyin.

Sima Yi had no way to take Zhuge Liang, who had the advantage of defending the city, but against Wu Yi, Sima Yi still fought very easily.

Wu Yi was defeated and had to retreat to Linying, while Wang Ping, Jiang Wei and others, who were besieging Xuchang, immediately gave up attacking Xuchang when they heard the news, and the whole army retreated and rushed to Linying to join Wu Yi.

At this time, Sima Yi directly ignored Wu Yi, who had retreated to Linying, and after a little rest in Yingyin, he went directly west, crossed Yingshui, captured Yingyang, and went straight to Xiangcheng.

This directly scared Wu Yi half to death.

Once Xiangcheng is lost, then the entire Han army attacking Xuchang will be cut off, and Xiangcheng will hoard all the grain and grass for this attack on Yingchuan.

And more importantly, there are not many troops in Xiangcheng now, and there are no generals to defend it. Zhang Wei had already come with the army to besiege Xuchang.

Wu Yi didn't care about it at the moment, and he didn't wait for Wang Ping, Jiang Wei and others to converge, and he led the remaining more than 10,000 Hanzhong soldiers back to Xiangcheng, but just after crossing Yingshui, he was caught by Sima Yi who was guarding Yingshui.

Sima Yi did not directly attack Xiangcheng, in his opinion, Xiangcheng is now a turtle in an urn, which can be attacked at any time, and the real threat is still the Shu army in Yingchuan County.

As long as this Shu army is defeated in the field battle and then Xiangcheng is taken, the connection between Nanyang and Luoyang can be completely cut off, and the entire Yingchuan County can also be preserved.

Therefore, Sima Yi took advantage of Wu Yi's eagerness to save Xiangcheng, and set up an ambush on the bank of Yingshui, which once again hit Wu Yi's department.

This time, if it weren't for Wang Ping's Wudang Feijun and Jiang Wei, the elite of the Southern Army led by Wen Qin marched all the way, rushed to the battlefield in time, and fought back desperately, Wu Yi was afraid that he would really end up with the annihilation of the whole army.

But even so, Wang Ping's Wudang Fei Army and Jiang Wei's Southern Army both paid a considerable price, and all of them suffered more than half of the casualties, which could be regarded as barely rescuing the trapped Wu Yi, and the group retreated to Xiangcheng to defend the city.

And Sima Yi, who followed closely behind them, as well as Chen Tai and Guo Huai, who got the news, had also led the troops to arrive under Xiangcheng.

When he set out to conquer Xuchang, the Han army of more than 40,000 people under Wu Yi now only had more than 13,000 left, and the Wei army, which was originally passively beaten, was now surrounded by Xiangcheng with 45,000 troops under the reinforcement of Sima Yi.

Offense and defense are easy to attack.
