Chapter 528 Malice
The Jiangdong army camp was gloomy and gloomy, and all the generals, officials and soldiers were worried.

Gein has recently heard rumors in the army that the troops from the south of the Jingzhou Army have captured Luling County.

To the generals of the Jiangdong Army, this news was like a bolt from the blue.They came up the river to rescue Yuzhang and Luling. Now the two counties have fallen, so the fighting spirit of the soldiers has dropped sharply, and they all want to return to Wu.

Not only the soldiers below are eager to return, but the coach Zhou Yu also has the intention of retreating, because the rumors were leaked by the people around him.

A few days ago, Zhou Yu received information from the southern scouts that the Jingzhou Army captured Luling County on November 25th, and Sun Fu was defeated and disappeared. Now it is November [-]th, ten years have passed since now. It has been three days, which means that Liu Jing may transfer the Jingzhou Army from Luling back to Chaisang at any time.

Zhou Yu currently has only [-] troops under his command, and the Jingzhou army on the front line of Chaisang and Peng Ze is still at a disadvantage. Once the Jingzhou army in the direction of Luling returns north, the result can be imagined.

What made Zhou Yu even more helpless was that Sun Yi, the prefect of Danyang who was supposed to send troops to reinforce him, was restrained by the rebellion in Ma and Baoertun in the territory, and he could not expect it in the short term.

And Sun Quan, who was stationed in Dantu, did not dare to go out lightly at this time, lest Wu and Hui's backyard would catch fire.

This is the current situation that Zhou Yu is facing. Liu Jing raised the Jing and Jiao to attack, and the situation is very difficult. Zhou Yu is isolated and helpless, and it is impossible to retake the two counties of Yuzhang and Luling. Instead of putting himself in danger, it is better to retreat to Danyang Spring Valley , Rearrange the line of defense.

The geographical location of Spring Valley is excellent, Dong Ke and Sun Quan of Dantu are the horns of each other, and Nan Ke and Sun Yi of Wanling watch and help each other.If Liu Jing dared to rely on his strength and underestimate the enemy, Zhou Yu would definitely teach him an unforgettable lesson in Spring Valley.

Zhou Yu urgently wrote to Sun Quan, telling him what he thought, and he expected a reply in the near future. Zhou Yu expected that Sun Quan would definitely agree. His worry now was how to lead the army to retreat safely.

At this moment, Liu Ye came.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed at once, it was really dozed off and came to the pillow, whatever he wanted, Zhou Yu hurriedly sent someone to recruit Cheng Pu, Lu Fan, Lu Su and others to go out with him to meet the angel.

The chariot, which symbolizes the messenger of the emperor, was parked outside the Jiangdong Army camp. The soldiers in the camp looked out of curiosity, and there was a lot of discussion.

Liu Ye sat in the car all the time, posing as an envoy of the emperor, until Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Lu Fan, Lu Su and others greeted him outside the car, and Liu Ye got out of the car calmly.

Liu Ye glanced over the Jiangdong generals, and snorted secretly. These people in front of him were all enemies who followed Sun Ce and chased him to heaven and earth.Liu Ye finally turned his gaze back to Lu Su and Zhou Yu, and said with a smile, "Zijing, Gongjin, are you all right?"

Without waiting for the two to respond, Liu Ye said to Lu Su again: "I wrote a letter a few years ago to invite you, but Zijing's letter did not come. I can only come to you in person.”

Lu Su couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Brother, are you here today to question my Xingshi?"

A few years ago, Liu Ye joined Zheng Bao and wrote a letter to invite Lu Su to discuss a big plan. Lu Susu and Liu Ye were good friends, and they were brothers, so they were already planning to go. As a result, Zhou Yu also valued Lu Su's talent very much, and sent him ahead of time. His mother brought him to Jiangdong, so Lu Su had to stay in Jiangdong.

Soon Liu Ye beheaded Zheng Bao and turned to Liu Xun, who was defeated by Sun Ce and fled to Jingzhou.At that time, Lu Su was quite fortunate in his heart. If he had defected to Liu Ye, he would inevitably become a bereaved dog.In contrast, whether it is Sun Ce or Sun Quan, they are all heroes in the world, far from comparable to Zheng Bao and Liu Xun.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ye followed Liu Xun to Cao Cao in the north, but within a few years, he was valued by Cao Cao, and returned to Yangzhou under the name of the envoy of the emperor, which made Lu Su feel emotional about Liu Ye's fate.

Liu Ye asked with a smile: "Zijing lives in Jiangdong as a guest, and he lingers so much that he must be highly valued by Sun (Quan) Kuaiji. I don't know what job he is now?"

Lu Su's face showed embarrassment, and he was speechless for a while. Sun Quan treated him very kindly and relied on him as his confidant, but because he was not treated by Zhang Zhao, and because he worked hard to promote the alliance between Sun and Liu, he was criticized by Jiangdong. Criticism, he has not been promoted for several years, and he is still an official in the general's mansion.

Zhou Yu frowned. After all, when he tried to keep Lu Su back, he vowed that "the one who carries the Liu family will thrive in the southeast", praised Sun Quan for "being close to the virtuous and noble, accepting strange things", and persuading Lu Su to "climb the dragon and follow the phoenix" .

As a result, to this day, Jiangdong not only has no signs of prosperity, but is in danger of being overwhelmed. Although Lu Su is important, his position is low and power is light.

This made Zhou Yu's face somewhat uneasy, and he said: "Zi Jing's wisdom is fruitful, his thinking is far-reaching, and he has extraordinary wisdom. Sun Qiulu entrusted him with the responsibility. It's just that although Sun Qiulu is a foreign vassal of the country, he doesn't care about it." Dare to violate the inheritance system, so Zijing temporarily resides in the history of the general's mansion."

Liu Ye said with a surprised face: "Zi Jing's talents can only be relegated to the position of Lingshi. It seems that Jiangdong is really full of talents."

Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled wryly, no longer arguing.

Seeing Zhou Yu's silence, Lu Su was ashamed. Liu Ye finally let out the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for several years, and stopped taunting the two of them. Provoking and invading Yangzhou are all very worrying, so I am specially sent to the south with an imperial edict to mediate the dispute between Jing and Yang."

"Liu Jing has a strange heart, is lenient, and has a plan like a god. He is not a human minister, and the country must be on guard." Zhou Yu said: "Liu Jing slandered Sun (Ben) Yuzhang for robbing Changsha and robbing the people. In the name of crusade against crimes, but the army of Jing and Jiao is advancing at the same time, and there is a tendency to annex Jiangdong, and now not only occupies all the land of Yuzhang, but also takes Luling as its own."

"Even Luling fell?" Liu Ye's heart sank when he heard it. Liu Jing was as powerful as the rumors said. Powerless.

Liu Ye no longer had any leisure time, and immediately followed Zhou Yu into the barracks, and had a secret discussion with Zhou Yu and Lu Su in the tent, until an hour later, he left, and took a boat to Caisang to meet Liu Jing.

Liu Jing's warships were all over the river, and as soon as Liu Ye arrived, Liu Jing received the news, and he summoned all the civil and military soldiers to wait respectfully at the county temple.

Because of Liu Jing's instructions in advance, Liu Ye was led into the county hall without any hindrance.

Holding the imperial edict, Liu Ye crowned his sword and went straight into the hall, ignoring dozens of sharp sword-like gazes on both sides, and quietly looked at Liu Jing who was sitting in the main seat. "General Annan Liu Jing received the imperial edict."

Liu Jing was about to step forward to receive the imperial edict, at this moment Sheng Kuang was shocked, he didn't care about etiquette, he grabbed Liu Jing's sleeve and said urgently: "General, don't step forward!"
