Chapter 122: Zhou Yu's Decision
Lu Yi looked at Tian Yu's so moved appearance and sighed a little.
This Tian Yu is definitely a famous general in the original history.
But now, he has fallen to such a point that he has let himself be missed.
It can be seen that opportunities are important to a person.
Without opportunities, even if you have all kinds of talents, it is difficult to give full play.
Helping Tian Yu up, Lu Yi directly appointed him as Sima of the other department, and then took him into the palace.
After Tian Yu was full of food and drink, Lu Yi took him to meet Liu Ye, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhang Hong and others.
After that, Tian Yu led a thousand soldiers, with more than 400 cattle, followed the pottery merchants out of the city and ambushed.
After Tian Yu left, the entire Shu County became more and more nervous.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai inspected the fortifications on the city walls almost every day.
Lu Yi and Zhang Hong began to recruit soldiers and horses in Shu County, inspect the military camp, and were very busy every day.
Another five days passed.
Finally, the battle report came from the front.
Ji Ling, who was guarding Hefei, learned that Lujiang County was lost and Liu Xun was killed, so he immediately reorganized 30,000 soldiers and horses and rushed straight to Shu County!
When the major families and people in Shu County heard the news, their faces were as pale as earth.
People kept gathering at the south gate of the city, wanting to leave Shu County.
Cheng Pu suggested killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.
Now that Shu County is about to face a big war, it is when manpower is needed, and the major families and people in Shu County can help a lot in wartime.
Kill the most troublesome families and people, so as to deter other families and people, and leave them in Shu County.
Lu Yi did not listen to Cheng Pu's advice this time.
First, Shu County has experienced repeated wars, with too many casualties, and the major families and people are afraid that war is inevitable.
Second, in the future, if he wants to control Hefei and even Shouchun, if he wears the title of "butcher" like Sun Ce, it will be several times more difficult for the soldiers defending the city.
In this case, from the very beginning, it has established a good reputation among major families and people.
When the city is defended, people are willing to help.
And this process is slow and long-term, and it must be started as soon as possible.
Third, there are pros and cons to this bloody crackdown.
If Shu County is really not defended, these families and people may rebel from the inside, causing endless harm.
Thinking of this, Lu Yi asked the soldiers guarding the city to open the three gates of the south, east and west of the city, and let the people in the city leave.
The people of Shu County immediately flocked out.
In less than a day, the entire Shu County almost became a dead city.
Only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, who really couldn't walk, stopped and prepared to sit and wait for death.
There were no major families and ordinary people in the city, and Lu Yi immediately ordered the soldiers to demolish some of the houses in the city, and move all the stones to the city wall to prepare for the enemy.
The suburbs of Shu County.
Densely packed graves.
Zhou Yu sat alone in a thatched house, looking at Anji's portrait in a daze.
The portrait is not someone else.
It was Sun Ce.
He also learned the news that Sun Ce was ambushed by bandits led by Xu Gong's disciples and the people of Baiyue in Huiji.
During this time, he has been immersed in pain.
Unexpectedly, this time I said goodbye to Bo Fu and went home for the funeral, which turned out to be a farewell to Bo Fu.
Thinking of the scene where he and Bo Fu rode horses in Shu County, reading books and hunting together, Zhou Yu's eyes were red.
In the past two years, God seems to be joking with him.
The family of the original second and third dukes was slaughtered overnight, and he was born from a young son of the Zhou family with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he turned into a homeless orphan.
has not yet recovered from the pain of extermination, and Sun Ce, who is a friend of the general horn, has another bad news: he was ambushed.
How does this make him accept?
Just when Zhou Yu was caressing Sun Ce's portrait in a daze, a figure walked over quickly and stopped outside the thatched house.
This is the subordinate arranged by Yuan Shu next to Zhou Yu.
Before the fall of the Zhou family, Yuan Shu had not yet been proclaimed emperor, Yuan Shu sent the original master Yan Xiang from Shouchun to Shu County, personally buried all the dead of the Zhou family, so as to highlight the atmosphere behind his famous family of the fourth and third dukes.
Zhou Yu said goodbye to Sun Ce, and after arriving from Ou A, he was very resistant to the people sent by Yuan Shu for a while.
Although there is no direct evidence, the destruction of the Zhou family and the destruction of the direct murderer Zheng Bao and his henchmen all directly tell him that Zhou Yu is the real culprit!
The Zhou family was destroyed, and the most powerful person was also his Yuan Shu!
Without the Zhou family, which is in the limelight in Yangzhou, Yangzhou is the world of Yuan Shu.
Without the Zhou family, Sun Ce would have no strong supply of grain and grass, and he would lose the absolute support to resist Yuan Shu.
However, no matter how suspicious he was, Zhou Yu couldn't do anything for the time being.
Even if he found evidence, he couldn't do it.
Yuan Shu's strength doomed him to have no hope of revenge for the time being.
Originally, he still planned that after the funeral was over, he would return to Jiangdong to help Sun Ce unify Jiangdong, and then seek revenge from Yuan Shu.
But he didn't expect that Sun Ce would die in battle!
At this moment, seeing that the subordinate was coming, Zhou Yu forcibly took his eyes off the portrait of Sun Ce and looked at the subordinate who came over with an expressionless face.
The subordinate stopped at the gate of the thatched house, bowed down and said: "Zhou Lang, there is news in the city that Ji Ling, the general sitting in Hefei, is leading an army of 30,000 to attack, preparing to recapture Lujiang and avenge Liu Xun Taishou." The major families and people in Shu County who heard the news fled from Shu County one after another. ”
After a pause, the subordinate continued: "Lu Yi, the lord of Jiangdong in Shu County, has opened the three gates of the south, east and west of the city, and let the major families and ordinary people in the city leave. ”
Zhou Yu waved his hand expressionlessly.
For Yuan Shu's subordinates, he was really a little unacceptable.
He tried to catch up a few times, but the other party claimed that he already belonged to his subordinates and would only follow him.
During this time, the other party has also been delivering food and drink, and bringing some news in the city.
Let's just say that the news of Sun Ce's death this time came from the other party.
As a result, his attitude towards this person has also changed a little.
Always scolded before.
Recently, the scolding has gone and turned into a gesture.
When the subordinate saw Zhou Yu's gesture of letting him leave, he was about to leave.
Suddenly, Zhou Yu looked stunned.
Lu Yi, the lord of Jiangdong?
Before, although he knew that Jiangdong had changed hands, he didn't know who the new owner of Jiangdong was.
Now that he mentioned it, he woke up suddenly.
Lu Yi?
That little nest leader? The people of the Lukang side tribe who have always been looked down upon by themselves?
Before he left Ou A, the head of the Lu family who took the initiative to send grain and grass in order to curry favor with Sun Ce?
How could it be him!
Zhou Yu hurriedly called out to the next person: "Come back!" ”
The subordinate stopped in confusion, turned back and said, "I don't know what else Zhou Lang commands?" ”
Zhou Yu walked out quickly and asked, "You just said, Lu Yi, the lord of Jiangdong?" Why is the lord of Jiangdong not the Sun family? ”
The subordinate looked at Zhou Yu blankly and said, "This, I really don't know." However, the Lord of Jiangdong is Lu Yi's business, and it is something that everyone in the city knows. ”
"This lord of Jiangdong is still strange."
"He was stationed in Shu County, and he also ordered officials and soldiers to do nothing against major families and people."
"This time, it is more to open the city gate and let everyone leave, instead of forcing everyone to stay in the city to help defend the city."
Zhou Yu listened to the chatter of his subordinates and frowned slightly.
He remembered the scene when he dreamed before Bo Fu's accident.
Zhou Yu hesitated slightly, walked to the grave, knelt down one by one, and then walked briskly towards the city of Shu County.
He wants to see this Lu Yi!
He wants to see how He De, the former little head of the nest, can take over the Jiangdong that Bo Fu and he has worked so hard to fight!
He also wants to go and see where the Sun family is!
