The war is over. щ.lā

In the twilight of early spring, the infantry and cavalry in red armor held the city, and the word "Cao" on the Daxu flag was still faintly visible. The hill to the north of the main battlefield was dark, and the regiments with black flags and armor were lined up under the banner of the word "Duan" and were waiting for the battle, looking at the word "Cao" on the head of the city angrily, ready to rush to kill again at any time.

The blood-red sunset was gradually fading, and the two sides were facing each other to the death, neither retreating, nor rushing to kill, just like the gaze of two tigers facing each other, neither of them could leave the battlefield first.

Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and the "Duan" character army of the black flag armor roared angrily, lifted the cloud ladder and rushed towards the city, intending to take the city in front of him in one fell swoop.

It was a peculiar war, and there was no winner or loser.

Zhuge Liang walked out of the camp tent slowly, when it was warm and cold, there was still a chill like a knife in the spring breeze, but after all, it was much warmer, the flowers were fragrant everywhere, and the years were rare and quiet.

However, there is still a war. If the world is not unified for a day, this battle will not be over. At this time, the war at hand is nothing more than the siege and defense of the city.

He looked at everything in front of him and shook his head secretly.

In the past few days, under the auspices of Liu Bei, the soldiers have been practicing diligently, simulating the scene when they capture Nanjun, but Nanjun is high and deep, how can it be so easy to capture?

Duan Dahu also walked out of the camp tent at this time, nodded with Zhuge Liang, and asked, "What is the military advisor's plan to do next?"

"Cao Cao's new defeat, no matter how strong his power is, he will not be able to recover in the short term. I have invited the imperial uncle, and I have also asked the lord to move to the inner account, I have a plan. ”

After a while, Liu Bei came sweating profusely, obviously "attacking the city" was quite difficult. Zhuge Liang led the two to the inner tent, only to see that the picture of the fifty-four states of Xichuan that the two of them saw when they were in Longzhong was hanging on the wall.

"There has never been such a big victory since the independent public action, at this time we should have celebrated, but Dongwu Zhou Yu has already taken action, and we can't wait, this southern county is the gateway to the nine counties of Jingxiang, and the lord will take it. Then you can go back to the land of Jingxiang. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but say: "Although Cao Cao Chibi was defeated, he still dominates the north, and his strength cannot be underestimated. ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "In Liang's eyes, this Nanjun is already in the palm of his hand. It's just a matter of time. ”

Duan Dahu still had some concerns: "We can think of it, Cao Cao may not be able to think of it, but I'm afraid that he is ready." We finally have a certain family foundation, what if we run out again?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I have heard that Zhou Yu led a large army in Linjiang Xiazhai, and there must be the intention of seizing Nanjun, and the lord can send Sun Qian to find out the truth." Let's stay in the oil river and wait and see what happens. With the power of Sun Quan and the courage of Zhou Lang, he does not have to worry about not getting this southern county. ”

Duan Dahu nodded, and realized: "The military advisor means ....."

"Fishing in troubled waters, Nanjun is at your fingertips. Liu Bei's reaction seemed to be faster, and he stroked his palm and smiled.

"Yes. Lord, everything is under Liang's control, and the lord only sits in the army. ”

"Wolong, the phoenix chick can win the world by himself, and it really deserves its reputation. Duan Dahu couldn't help but celebrate Zhuge Liang, this kid followed him.

Across the river, in the city of Chaisang.

However, he said that Zhou Yu had obtained Sun Quan's permission and was discussing with Lu Su about the conquest of Nanjun, and suddenly came down to report: "Duan Dahu sent Sun Qian to congratulate the governor." Zhou Yu's eyes flashed, "Oh, please let him in." ”

After Sun Gan finished his salute, he said to Zhou Yu: "The lord has specially ordered the governor to pay tribute to the governor and General Sun, and I hope that the two sides will always form an alliance, and I will give a small gift." ”

Zhou Yu asked, "Where is your lord now?" Sun Qian replied, "Now move the army to the mouth of the Youjiang River." ”

"Is Zhuge Kongming also in Youjiang?" Zhou Yu was shocked in his heart, and his face sank.

Sun Qian replied, "My military division and the lord are at the mouth of the Youjiang River. ”

"I'll go back first, and I'll come and thank you in person soon. Zhou Yu accepted the gift and sent someone to take Sun Qian down to rest.

Sun Qian thanked and said: "Thank you for the good intentions of the metropolitan governor, but my military adviser asked the metropolitan governor, can you have the intention of taking Nanjun? ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, I originally asked Lu Zijing to cross the river to thank your lord, but I didn't expect you to come first, wait for Zijing to cross the river, and then discuss the matter of Jingzhou." ”

"Thank you to the Metropolitan Governor for his good intentions! In this case, Sun Qian retired first and waited for Mr. Zijing to go. Sun Qian saluted Zhou Yu and went back to Jiangxia.

On the side, Lu Su saw that Zhou Yu had sent Sun Qian away, and couldn't help asking: "Why did the governor have a different color just now?" Zhou Yu said: "Duan Dahu, Kong Mingtun Bingyou Jiangkou must have the meaning of taking Nanjun." I have spent so many soldiers and horses, and I have spent a lot of money and food, Nanjun is like fat on the board at this moment, how can he let Duan Dahu take it without much effort?"

Lu Su asked, "Then how should we deal with it?"

Zhou Yu said: "Duan Dahu is not small, I am afraid that he has the ambition to annex the world, and he has Zhuge Kongming and Liu Bei brothers to help him. At the moment, its power has not yet grown. You and I can still deal with it, if he really lets him take Nanjun, the nine counties of Jingxiang will be at your fingertips in the morning and night, and then we will be in danger. If he really wants to take Nanjun, I will send troops to Jiangxia first, destroy Duan Dahu and then take Nanjun. ”

Lu Su nodded and said, "The governor's words are not unreasonable. ”

So, Lu Su and Lu Meng led 3,000 light horsemen and went straight to the mouth of the oil river. It has the meaning of asking the teacher for sin. Lu Meng, when he was a teenager, attached himself to his brother-in-law Deng Dang, and followed Sun Ce as a general. With courage, he was named Sima of the other department. When Sun Quan conquered Huang Zu, he relied on Lu Meng's strategy to win in one fell swoop.

Sun Qian returned to see Duan Dahu and said, "Lord, Zhou Yu is going to come to thank Lu Su and Lu Meng." ”

Duan Dahu and Zhuge Liang were in the tent and asked, "What does the military advisor think he is here for?"

Kong Ming said with a smile: "It's just a little polite, why don't you be so excited." They must have come for the South County. ”

Liu Bei asked, "If he leads his troops here, how should we deal with it?"

Kong Ming smiled and slapped his feather fan: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it." "Suddenly, the Malay newspaper revealed that Lu Su and the others were not far from here.

Zhuge Liang ordered the warships to be set up at the mouth of the oil river and display all the military horses on the shore.

Tanma reported again: "Lu Su led troops to arrive." Kong Ming sent Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to pick it up.

Lu Meng saw that Guan, Zhang, and Zhao were all like generals, and they were very uneasy.

Walking outside the camp gate, Duan Dahu, Liu Bei, and Kong Ming welcomed Zhou Yu into the tent. Each of them saluted, and Duan Dahu held a banquet to treat each other and raised wine to thank the Chibi soldiers.

After several rounds of wine, Lu Meng asked: "The general is stationed in Youjiang, does it mean to take Nanjun?"

Duan Dahu said with a smile: "I heard that the governor wants to attack Nanjun, but he doesn't dare to trespass, so he wants to lead troops to help the governor." ”

Lu Meng sneered: "It's rare for the general to bother, I, Dongwu, have long wanted to take this Jingxiang land, and now Nanjun is like meat waiting to be cut, and most of the governors swear to take it." ”

Duan Dahu said: "Cao Cao will return to Xudu and let Cao Ren guard Nanjun, he will definitely be prepared." Moreover, Cao Ren is a world-famous general, and he is at odds with Xiangyang and Hefei Hucheng, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the governor to deal with it. ”

Lu Meng thought to himself: "You are just a waste of fame when I am the governor of Eastern Wu." ”

couldn't help but be a little angry, and said: "If Dongwu can't take Nanjun, let the general take it when the time comes." ”

Duan Dahu was happy in his heart, and said with a busy smile: "Brother Ziming, the military advisor is here as a witness, and I also ask Dongwu not to regret it." There was a lot of pride in his tone, as if Zhou Yu couldn't attack Nanjun. But I thought in my heart: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu was born more than a thousand years later than you, otherwise who wins and who loses, it may not be." ”

Lu Su hesitated for a while and didn't know how to answer, and said after a while: "Let's go back and tell the Metropolitan Governor, and listen to how the Metropolitan Governor decides." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Zijing's words are also very reasonable. Let Dongwu fight first, if Dongwu can't attack, it's not too late for us to move!"

After some more gossip, they took their leave.

In the big tent of Sanjiangkou.

Lu Su and Lu Meng briefly reported the situation to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu said: "Ziming, you can send some money and food to Duan Dahu in the future, so that he can help our army." ”

"What the Governor of Fang Cai said was that he wanted to send money and food to Duan Dahu's soldiers and horses, why did he really do?" Lu Su asked.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Although Cao Cao Chibi was defeated, he still occupies the north, the foundation has not been moved, and it is possible to lead the army south again at any time, at this moment, the alliance between my Eastern Wu and Duan Dahu cannot be disintegrated, I sent Ziming to send money and food to Duan Dahu, just to let Cao Cao see, at least so far, the alliance between us is still unbreakable." ”

Lu Su sighed: "The Governor of Dadu is really far-sighted, but now that our army is going to attack Nanjun, how can we get the excess money and grain?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "The area of Nanjun is damp, and there are many damp grains and grasses in the army, so distribute them to Ziming and let him take them. ”

He said again: "Come on, beat the drum!"

Zhou Yu was promoted, and the soldiers under the tent were all beaming with joy and high morale. Zhou Yu got straight to the point: "Who dares to be a pioneer to help me take Nanjun first?"

One person came out in response, it was Jiang Qinye. Zhou Yu said: "Okay, the general is brave! Let you be the vanguard, Xu Sheng and Ding Feng are the deputy generals, allocate 5,000 elite military horses, and cross the river first." Straight into Nanjun, I will then lead troops to meet you. The rest of the generals perform their duties and must not be mistaken. ”

The generals took the order and left, and Zhou Yu stopped Lu Meng and said, "Ziming, you stay." After everyone left, Lu Meng arched his hand and said, "Governor, I don't know what you command?"

Zhou Yu got up and said, "Ziming." I know that you are brilliant and capable, and you are not under me, so you will go to Jiangxia to deliver food, and there is one important thing to entrust. ”

"Governor, please. ”

"Duan Dahu is ambitious and extraordinary. I wanted to take advantage of the fact that its power has not yet grown and killed it to get rid of future troubles, but there are Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Wu Guan, Zhang, Zhao and others to help. These people are rare in the world, if I kill Duan Dahu, these people will inevitably be enemies of my Eastern Wu, and the attack on Nanjun is imminent, I really can't get out of the way, so you try to persuade Duan Dahu to submit to my lord for me. With these people, I can count the days of Dongwu to unify the world. Zhou Yu explained carefully.

"Although Duan Dahu is peaceful, he is indeed ambitious, and I am afraid that he will not easily change because of a few words. Lu Meng said.

"Although he has the courage of the overlord back then, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, Wu Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and others, but in the land of Jiangxia, there are only 8,000 soldiers and horses, how can he compete for dominance in the world?" Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"The Governor of the Metropolitan is extremely worried, I am willing to persuade Jiangxia to come down. Lu Meng saluted.

Zhou Yu said: "If Duan Dahu is willing to return to Eastern Wu, I am willing to give up the post of the governor of the capital and take the foundation of the whole lord!" He has been thinking hard for several days, and he is tired at the moment, just thinking about ending everything here as soon as possible and returning to Xiao Qiao's gentle village as soon as possible.

Lu Meng said: "This ......"

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't be suspicious, go ahead!"
