Chapter 34: Bad News
Liu Yu finally left Dujiawu Fort, but a seriously injured middle-aged man was added to his ranks.
After a friendly consultation with Du Shu, Liu Yu took Du Yu and Du Shu himself away.
After all, now that the knife is in Liu Yu's hands, he wants to take it away, but Du Shu can't stop it.
However, in order to reunite Du Shu and Du Shu's father and son, Liu Yu decided to pack Du Shu and take it away.
After all, he was Cao Wei's capable minister in the future, Du Shu was known for his uprightness, and in the next few decades, he gradually became Cao Wei's frontier official.
However, because he offended Sima Yi, he was finally exiled, and in the second year of exile, he died in exile, and he was not even qualified to return home.
His son Du Pre was also implicated by him, and he did not have the opportunity to take revenge until the eve of the destruction of Wu, but at that time, Du Pre was already in his forties.
After wasting so many years in vain, Liu Yu felt that he still took Du Shu away, and the provincial one who stayed in Cao Wei was persecuted by the Sima family.
As for the gold, silver, property, grain and ordnance in Dujiawu Fort, they were all laughed at by Liu Yu.
When leaving, Liu Yu did not set fire to the dock fort, if the Wuhu chaos really happened in the future, such a small dock fort might be able to save thousands of Han people.
Liu Yu has a large bag and a small bag along the way, and the big car and small car are extremely conspicuous.
But when I saw the Shu Han banner fluttering in Liu Yu's team, coupled with Liu Yu's neat military appearance and iron armor, it was hard to mess with at first glance.
In the end, under the escort of a strong army, Liu Yu returned to the camp in the north of Yongcheng.
This expedition can be described as a full harvest, not only brought back a large number of ordnance, grain and grass, but also the biggest harvest is the Du father and son.
However, to Liu Yu's surprise, Du Lan, the second ancestor, actually took the initiative to follow him south.
The foundation of the Du family is still in Jingzhao, Du Lan's father Du Kuan is Jingzhao Yin, and the other clansmen of the Du family are still living in Jingzhao.
Du Shu and Du Pre will appear here, in fact, it is just an attempt, which can be understood as a front station.
If you can really take root in Fufeng County, then you can transfer the other clansmen here.
It's a pity that the Du family never expected that as soon as they settled in Fufeng County, they were uprooted by Liu Yu, and Du Shu Du was taken away by Liu Yu.
Liu Yu went out for two days and returned to the camp, which was naturally a reward for the whole army, after all, Liu Yu, who had just made a windfall, naturally couldn't treat his subordinates badly.
Although these Tiger Infantry Army belonged to the imperial court army and were not their own private army, they were still treated well.
After all, Liu Yu is not qualified to have a private army now, he only hopes that the two thousand tiger infantry troops can listen to his orders until the end of this Northern Expedition.
Hearing that Liu Yu rewarded the whole army, it was naturally thunderous with joy, and there was a jubilant scene in the camp, which made Liu Yu can't help laughing.
After settling his subordinates, Liu Yu went to see Du Shu again, but Du Shu did not give him a good look.
Fortunately, Du Shu was quietly persuading Du Shu on the side, and Du Shu was so injured that he couldn't get up at all, so he could only stare at Liu Yu angrily.
It's a pity that the look in his eyes couldn't make Liu Yu let them go in shame, and seeing that Du Shu was fine, Liu Yu turned around to visit the other wounded soldiers.
After everything was arranged, Liu Yu rarely had a leisurely time.
However, thinking of the tasks released by the system in his mind, Liu Yu's good mood was all in vain in an instant.
It has been four days since the expedition was away, and there are less than eleven days left before the mission is completed.
But Liu Yu is not even beside Zhuge Liang now, let alone persuading Zhuge Liang to withdraw from the army.
Liu Yu only felt that he was really dead, this damn task could not be completed at all, and he should not have helped Zhuge Liang win the battle of Weinan if he knew it.
But if Sima Yi is not forced to come out for a decisive battle, Liu Yu is afraid that he has been killed by the system.
Thinking about it, Liu Yu didn't have a clue, he just felt that there seemed to be something important in his mind, and he forgot about it.
But I can't think of what is the big thing that can save my life?
Just as Liu Yu was thinking hard, suddenly a herald came to Liu Yu's big tent:
"Report, General Zhengxi asked Liu Sima to go to the camp immediately."
Liu Yu was stunned, Jiang Wei wanted to see himself? What's the situation? Could it be that something went wrong with the siege?
But seeing the anxious tone of the herald, Liu Yu felt that something very likely had happened, and he didn't dare to delay, so Liu Yu hurriedly got up and went to Jiang Wei's camp.
The journey was non-stop, and in less than half an hour, Liu Yu rushed to Jiang Wei's big tent.
But after seeing Jiang Wei, Liu Yu was even more surprised.
I saw Jiang Wei's eyes slightly red, as if he had just cried.
This made Liu Yu couldn't believe his eyes, you must know that Jiang Wei has an extremely resolute personality, how could he cry?
But after thinking about it, Liu Yu suddenly thought, could it be that something happened to Zhuge Liang?
So, Liu Yu said eagerly:
"General, what happened?"
Jiang Wei took a deep breath, took the bamboo slip on the table to Liu Yu, and said sadly:
"The 200,000 troops of Wu were defeated by Cao Rong under the city of Hefei."
"The 200,000 army has worked in vain, and now it has slowly retreated to Jiangdong."
"After the prime minister learned the news, he was angry, coupled with the fatigue of the past, he was exhausted, vomiting blood and falling into a coma."
"Yang Changshi ordered our army to withdraw to the Beiyuan camp."
"What??"
Liu Yu's mind was like a thunderbolt, and he instantly remembered what he had forgotten.
Zhuge Wuhou's Fifth Northern Expedition can be said to be the last chance for Shu and Wu.
Wu Guosun Quan is not completely mediocre now, and he also knows the importance of the Northern Expedition of the two countries' joint forces.
Therefore, Sun Quan personally led an army of 150,000 troops, crossed the Yangtze River, and pointed directly at Hefei New Town.
At the same time, Lu Xun sent 50,000 troops from Nanjun to attack Xiangfan and other places.
This time is different from the past, Sun Quan really used his strength to eat milk this time, and took out all his old bottoms.
From the commander-in-chief configuration of each battlefield, it can be seen that Sun Quan is really attentive, and he is indeed giving it a go.
On the Jingzhou battlefield, Sun Quan handed over the command to Lu Xun, the command ability of this ruthless man, so naturally it is needless to say.
On the qualified battlefield, Sun Quan personally commanded the battle, and the 150,000 army attacked Hefei day and night.
The attack took turns for more than a month, but after more than 30 years of expansion, Hefei Jiancheng has long been different.
However, Sun Quan knew that this Northern Expedition might be the last chance in his life, so he was determined to attack Hefei, even if he died, he would die under the city of Hefei.
Cao Rong felt the pressure of Soochow, and personally led 100,000 Chinese troops to go down from Luoshui, pass through Huaishui, enter the land of Huainan, and rush to the aid of Hefei New City.
But even if Cao Ei arrived in person, Sun Quan was not afraid, and only sent the general Sun Shao to monitor the movements of Cao Ei's army.
And he is still besieging the city on all sides, vowing to take Hefei.
It's a pity that the army has besieged the city for more than a month, but it still has nothing to gain, and the Wu army is exhausted.
In addition, the secret letter sent by Lu Xun to Sun Quan was intercepted by the Wei army, and finally Sun Quan, at Lu Xun's suggestion, withdrew his troops south and returned to Jiangdong.
After Liu Yu recalled this incident, he suddenly thought that now that the Wu army had retreated, then the Wei army would be able to free up their hands to clean up the Shu army in Guanzhong.
If Cao Ei's 100,000 Chinese troops rushed to Yongliang, would he and the others still be able to go back?
No wonder Zhuge Liang was so desperate, and he fainted on the spot because of this news.
No matter how many intrigues and tricks there are, in the face of absolute strength, they will be in vain after all.
Even if he and Jiang Wei took Yongcheng, when Cao Ei's 100,000 army overwhelmed the border, how could he and Jiang Wei be able to defend a lonely city?
Liu Yu looked up at Jiang Wei and said:
"There's no point in staying here, please make a quick decision on the general."
Jiang Wei closed his eyes in pain, following Prime Minister Zhuge on the Northern Expedition for so many years, this time was the closest to success.
But God seems to like to joke on the prime minister, such a good opportunity, but he still has to give it up in vain.
But Prime Minister Zhuge can you still see the next chance?
