Chapter 435: Zhou Yu Goes North, Liu Biao's Decision
Originally, Huang Zu had already fled to a nearby city, found his colleagues, and was ready to lead his troops back to rescue Guiyang City.
However, before Huang Zu could leave, news came from here that the defenders of Guiyang City had surrendered.
"What? Surrendered? After Huang Zu heard the news, he was almost fainted.
"When I left Guiyang, I told them to hold on for two days, why did they surrender?"
Huang Zu understands that now that Guiyang City has been broken, he is gone.
Although he could also follow Zhou Yu's example and use the strategy of cutting off the water and cutting off the source, this strategy was first used by Zhou Yu after all.
If Huang Zu uses it again, Zhou Yu will definitely be on guard.
Thinking of this, Huang Zu understood that Guiyang City was gone, and it was basically impossible to get it back in a short period of time.
So, Huang Zu gave up leading troops back to help, but went north to Jingzhou City to find Liu Biao to ask for guilt.
……
In Guiyang City, those soldiers who surrendered slowly knew that Huang Zu was not dead!
Those words just now were not used by Zhou Yu to deceive them.
After those lieutenants learned of this, they all scolded Zhou Yu in their hearts.
But now that they have surrendered, even if they want to regret it, it is too late.
If he regrets it in his heart, it is better to be at peace with it.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu quickly stabilized the form in Guiyang City.
At the same time, Zhou Yu also sent Gan Ning out and built a tall camp west of Guiyang City for garrisons.
This camp and Guiyang City are at the same time, and at the same time, they can also guard the upper reaches of the river, killing two birds with one stone.
After the situation in Guiyang City stabilized, Sun Ce began to discuss with Zhou Yu and led his troops north to help Sun Jian.
"Gong Jin, now Danyang County, there is still a part of it in the hands of Lu Bu, my father confronted him in Danyang County, I want to help."
Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this: "Uncle is indeed here to help, but I should help with this favor, and you want to stay and guard Guiyang City." ”
"At the same time, you also have to contact Jiang Qin in Yuzhang County, and ask him to send troops to be stationed at the junction of Yuzhang County and Guiyang County, so that he can support Guiyang at any time."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Although we have defeated Guiyang City, we only control the northeast of Guiyang County. ”
"After I leave, Bo Fu, you have to slowly eat the southeast of Guiyang County, so that half of Guiyang County is in our hands, so that we will not be afraid of the attack of Liu Biao's troops."
Sun Ce nodded when he heard this, he knew that with Zhou Yu's ability, it would be better to let him stay and guard Guiyang City, and by the way, open up a little more territory.
But Sun Ce also understood the reason why Zhou Yu didn't stay.
The Jiangdong Army has always been the personal soldiers of their Sun group, and they only obey the orders of the Sun family and their sons when they go out to fight.
Although Zhou Yu has made many miraculous achievements after he came, his time in the Jiangdong Army is too short after all.
On weekdays, Sun Ce was fine when he was in front of him, but if Sun Ce was not there, with Zhou Yu's own prestige, I am afraid that he would not be able to mobilize the Jiangdong Army.
"Gong Jin, you must be careful when you go north, it doesn't matter if you don't win the battle, you must not make a mistake." Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said.
Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, the southern part of Yangzhou has been pacified, and I will definitely be fine." ”
Sun Ce asked Cheng Pu to bring a thousand men to escort Zhou Yu north to Danyang, while he himself stayed, taking Guiyang City as the foundation, and continued to the south to expand the territory.
……
In Jingzhou City, Liu Biao looked at Huang Zu who was kneeling in front of him, and his face turned red with anger.
"Huang Zu, because I trust you so much, you actually lost Guiyang City to me?"
Huang Zu was reprimanded by this, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, so he could only say in that trembling voice: "Lord, that Sun Ce has the support of Zhou Gongjin's strategy to cut off the water source in Guiyang City. ”
"The last general originally wanted to take advantage of the night to break through and go to find rescue, but he didn't expect to be ambushed by Sun Ce on the way, and none of the twenty people accompanying him were spared, and all of them were killed."
"Along the way, it was all the Jiangdong Army ambushed on the road, and the last general was surrounded and intercepted along the way, and finally escaped and went to Yang'an for help, but before he returned with his troops, he heard that the defenders of Guiyang City had surrendered."
Huang Zu was also very wronged at this time, originally he thought that after Zhou Yu and Sun Ce implemented the policy of cutting off the water and cutting off the source, they would definitely take it lightly, and they could easily leave Guiyang and look for reinforcements.
As a result, I didn't expect that guy Sun Ce would lead someone to ambush him on the road.
finally escaped, but his subordinates thought they were dead and surrendered directly.
This makes Huang Zu go to reason.
Liu Biao knew that Huang Zu had always been loyal to him, and now he had suffered a defeat, so he didn't embarrass him too much.
"Forget it, you have been stationed in Guiyang all the year round, and you have no merit and hard work, I will not punish you this time, but you have to make up for your mistakes and recapture Guiyang City!"
"Yes!" Huang Zu replied respectfully, and he was relieved to hear that Liu Biao did not intend to punish him.
Afterwards, Liu Biao asked Huang Zu to go down to rest.
Seeing this, Kuai Yue on the side stepped forward and said to Liu Biao: "Lord, last time I was ambushed with General Wenpin, it was also the leader of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin. ”
When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What is the origin of this Zhou Gongjin?" ”
"Lord, I have investigated below, this Zhou Yu was born in the Zhou family, and his father is Zhou Yi." Kuai Yue hurriedly responded.
"The Zhou family?" Liu Biao was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't the Zhou family active in Huainan now, it is Cao Zixuan's territory, why is this Zhou Yu not serving under Cao Zixuan's account, but running to Sun Ce?" ”
Kuai Yue was entangled for a while, but still spoke: "Lord, according to rumors, this Zhou Yu has the ability to pass through heaven and earth, and he is unwilling to succumb to Cao Ang, so he chose to take refuge in his former friend Sun Ce!" ”
When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "In this way, this Zhou Yu also has a heart to compete in the world?" ”
As Liu Biao's words fell, he couldn't help but think of the ambitions of his youth.
Unconsciously, a trace of fighting spirit ignited in my heart.
It's just that when he thought of the fiasco in Yangzhou, he was a little afraid of Sun Ce and Sun Jian in his heart.
Thinking of the gentleness at home, he finally ordered: "Let Li Yan transfer 50,000 troops, take Huang Zu and Wen Ping south, and take back the lost cities around Guiyang City for me!" ”
"I don't believe it, the Sun father and son haven't sat down in Yangzhou yet, they can really be powerful in my Jingzhou!" (End of chapter)
