Chapter 413: Hidden Assistance (Xie Fa Shattered)
When Qiao Tie took Zhou Yu to the Assassin's Mansion, Qiao Xuan didn't even know that the east gate of Jingzhou City had been taken over by the Liu family's army. After Qiao Yun and Qiao Yu went in first, Zhou Yu followed. When Zhou Yu came out of the Assassin's Mansion, Wu Cheng, who was guarding the general, was dead, and Qiao Xuan ordered the defenders of the entire Jingzhou City to lay down their arms and let the 20,000 horses of the Liu family army take over the four city gates.
Zhou Yu was guarding the temporary office of the General's Mansion, and Wu Cheng's family had been picked up by Qiao Xuan. Zhou Yu naturally did not make it difficult for Wu Cheng's family, but frowned and dispatched troops. The richness of Jingzhou is no less than that of Yangzhou, and the construction of the city is very majestic, Zhou Yu only has 20,000 elites in his hands, I believe that the news of the occupation of Jingzhou City has been spread, Zhou Yu looked at the distribution of Jingzhou City marked on the map and the distribution of the Janissaries in Dijing, Zhang Rang's strategy is really similar to what he guessed. Zhou Yu's fingers tapped heavily on the location of Jingzhou City, and his mind was constantly thinking about various strategies.
"Governor, we don't have enough troops, and if we break up the four gates, we won't be able to stop the counterattack of the Jingzhou garrison and the Praetorian Guard. The Fifth Corps, stationed in Changsha, was only three days' march away. Gan Ning stood next to him and looked at the map with a frown, as Jingzhou City was conquered, the Fifth Legion, which had been hidden in the shadows, finally surfaced.
Changsha, the base of the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard, is the location of the intersection of the three state capitals of Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou. To the north, you can even bypass the Tiger Prison Pass and approach the imperial capital, it is precisely because of the special geographical location that the garrison of Changsha is the top priority. The two cities of Hedong and Hanoi happened to seal the offensive position of Changsha City. Changsha is stationed in the Fifth Army of the Praetorian Guard, Zhou Yu has already guessed it, and he believes that Zhou Yu is definitely not the only one who has guessed.
Huiji City. Zhou Yu's fingers slammed into it. This is the goal of the Fifth Legion. Jianye City has been surrounded by regiments. And Huiji City is a living point connecting the whole Yangzhou. As long as the occupied Huiji City will also strangle the connection between the north and south of Yangzhou City. To put it bluntly, Huiji City is the lifeblood of Yangzhou, but Zhou Yu is not worried about the situation in Huiji at all, because he Zhou Yu is now in Jingzhou with the army.
"I know, but the geographical location of Jingzhou City is very important, and it would be a pity to give up. Zhou Yu sighed heavily, the geographical location of Jingzhou City is important. Then the Praetorian Guards who came to counterattack must not be simple, and counting the local garrison in Jingzhou and the army supported from the imperial capital, Zhou Yu had no chance of winning.
"Tell me to go down and let the soldiers rest well, and we will go out of the city at once the next morning. Zhou Yu finally made up his mind, the location of Jingzhou City is important, and he, Zhou Yu, must not be able to defend Jingzhou City now. Zhou Yu's purpose in attacking Jingzhou was obvious, that is, to mobilize the Praetorian Guards assembled on the front line of Yangzhou and disperse their liliang, and now the purpose has obviously been achieved. Zhou Yu has no purpose to continue to stay here. He's going to attack the next target with his army.
"Yes, Grand Duke!" Gan Ning and Hu Hai walked out. They are absolutely obedient to Zhou Yu's orders, they are just generals, and only Zhou Yu is the one who leads them to victory. The two walked down, and immediately ordered the army to collect supplies, seize the time to rest and prepare to leave Jingzhou City.
Just when the two of them walked out of the town guard mansion, a scholar appeared in the town guard mansion. The faces of Gan Ning and Hu Hai changed, and after feeling the scholar's breath, their faces became even more puzzled. After the scholar saw Gan Ning and Hu Hai walking out, he hurriedly greeted them.
"The two generals are Gan Ningzhuang and Hu Hai, the two generals who guarded the mansion? Yan Linte, a Confucian scholar in Xiajingzhou City, came to save the lives of Zhou Yu and Zhou Dadudu. The scholar bowed down to the two and said, Gan Ning and Hu Hai's faces changed, and the scholar hurriedly answered: "There is a way to help Zhou Yu and Zhou Dadu to defend Jingzhou City." ”
"Wait here. Gan Ning's brows furrowed, and he didn't say anything to the scholar, this scholar didn't have any aura at all, and no one could hide Gan Ning's self-confident skills from his perception. Gan Ning walked in, and it didn't take long for Gan Ning to come out of it, and after saying a word to Hu Hai, he led the scholar in.
Zhou Yu, who was guarding the mansion, looked at the Confucian students standing in front of him expressionlessly, of course, those who can defend Jingzhou City are more important than those who give up Jingzhou City, as long as she Zhou Yu can defend Jingzhou City like a nail, the crisis of Jianye City will be completely solved. Of course, there is another consequence, that is, the Praetorian Guards will not hesitate to capture Jianye City, of course, it depends on how the Praetorian Guards and Zhang Rang choose. Either way, he must pay a heavy price.
"In the lower Confucian Yan Lin, I met Zhou Yu and Zhou Dadu. Yan Lin bowed down and said to Zhou Yu, Yan Lin looked around, observing the expression on Zhou Yu's face, as if he wanted to find something on Zhou Yu's face, but unfortunately Zhou Yu was always expressionless.
"Tell us what you think. Zhou Yu sat at the top, and kept guessing what Yan Lin thought in his heart, Jingzhou City had sufficient supplies, but this was not the reason for Zhou Yu to hold Jingzhou City. The main factor in the war is people, and everything that no one has is illusory. Zhou Yu had just conquered Jingzhou City, and he didn't think that he could mobilize the garrison of Jingzhou to fight for him, and even the people in the city couldn't move any thoughts because of a shackle.
"If Zai Xia is not mistaken, the Metropolitan Governor is planning to give up Jingzhou City. Yan Lin looked at Zhou Yu with a smile and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor still hasn't found the best way to defend Jingzhou City, Metropolitan Governor, think about it from another angle, in fact, it is really simple to defend Jingzhou City, and you only need to do a few things that the Metropolitan Governor can do." ”
"The Metropolitan Governor doesn't have to look at Zai Xia with such eyes, Zai Xia is not anyone's lobbyist. Yan Lin's performance made Zhou Yu feel a little unnatural, but Yan Lin looked at Zhou Yu with a smile as if he had nothing to do: "Dadu Governor, it seems to you that there are people who are guarding Jingzhou City, but where did this person come from? Jingzhou's garrison or the people of Jingzhou City? In my opinion, they are not, because they can't hold this city, but there is one person who can help Dadu Governor defend Jingzhou City, and can also deal a heavy blow to the Praetorian Guard." ”
"Who is it?" Zhou Yu's face changed, he didn't think of asking for help from the Qiao family, but unfortunately he knew that the Qiao family would not mobilize the people for his fruitless war, and even when Qiao Xuan surrendered, he agreed with Zhou Yu that the army of Jingzhou City would never participate in this meaningless war. The war was too distant for them to mean nothing.
Zhou Yu wanted to hold Jingzhou City, and it was impossible to get any assistance, so he could only rely on his own 20,000 elite soldiers, but unfortunately in the face of the counterattack of the Praetorian Guard and the Jingzhou garrison, holding Jingzhou City could only be a joke. Zhou Yu had also considered other families in Jingzhou City, but it was a pity that she Zhou Yu couldn't get enough benefits, and she couldn't even guarantee him Zhou Yu.
"Dadu Governor, your eyes are on the big family in Jingzhou City, there is nothing wrong with this in itself, but there is one thing that Dadu Governor should do or not. Yan Lin walked to Zhou Yu's side, and the guards around him wanted to stop him and was drunk back by Zhou Yu, Yan Lin stepped forward and dipped in water and wrote the word Yunyu on the table, Zhou Yu's face immediately changed.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yu's tone was full of murderous intent, and the word Yunyu almost didn't need to guess to know that it was Qiao Yun and Qiao Yu, two sisters who took Zhou Yu into Jingzhou City.
Yan Lin looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, and said with a smile that was neither arrogant nor humble: "Dadu Governor, the two young ladies of the Qiao family took Dadu Governor to occupy Jingzhou City. I don't believe that this was the idea of the two young ladies themselves, and the two young ladies went out of the city in this time of chaos, and I don't think the Metropolitan Governor would believe it either. Governor, some people need a reason to do something, and sometimes this reason is very simple, sometimes it is very complicated, it depends on how others understand it, what do you say? ”
"Some?" The three words flashed through Zhou Yu's mind in an instant, could it be that the continuous running around made his thinking dull, or he didn't take this into account at all. Now that I think about it, the motives of the two sisters to go out of the city are indeed a little weird, but who is this person? There is such a courage to release the two of them out of the city, the more Zhou Yu thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, especially after carefully asking Gan Ning, what is wrong with the situation, the Qiao family behaved in the whole incident is really too weird. (To be continued.) )
