Then, Zhuge Liang heard that the rear of the army had built a camp near Zheqi Mountain, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat to Zheqi Camp. Before leaving, Zhuge Liang took a last look in the direction of Spring Valley.

The Chungu defense line built by Zhou Yu was based on Chungu City, and set up garrisons and fortifications at dangerous places such as Zhongzhou, Queyu, and Zheqi.Fortunately, Zhuge Liang doesn't have to worry about this, he just needs to wait quietly for Danyang to change the sky.When Danyang raises his troops inside, Chungu will collapse without a fight.

In the next few days, although Zhuge Liang and Liu Zong repeatedly sent large ships and light boats to attack the Jiangdong army's Jinbai and water villages to provoke, they did not take any further action.

The abnormality of the Jingzhou army made Zhou Yu vigilant. You must know that the Jingzhou army did not declare war and attacked suddenly, which was beyond everyone's expectations, including Zhou Yu himself. However, after the Jingzhou army arrived in Spring Valley, they were not in a hurry to attack.

As the saying goes, there must be monsters in abnormal things. Zhou Yu first cast his suspicious eyes on the generals under his command, because he suddenly remembered that Zhuge Liang had mentioned in his letter before that Jiangdong soldiers were shaken.Especially the defenders of Zhujin Base, if they communicate with foreign enemies inside and let the Chu army in, the consequences will be disastrous.

It is a matter of the life and death of the entire army. It is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not. Just when Zhou Yu was preparing to investigate secretly, a call to arms from Wanling revealed the final answer.

Sun Yi was killed!

Wanling rebelled!

In the big tent, no matter whether it was the veteran official of the third generation, Cheng Pu who was serious and scheming, or Lu Fan who was born as a scholar-bureaucrat and had a good manner, all of them turned pale with shock when they heard the bad news, and couldn't contain themselves.

Not to mention the rest of the generals, even Sun Yi, who was born in the trilogy, fell to the ground and howled, causing the big tent to jump around.

"Bang!" Seeing the chaos in the tent, Zhou Yu couldn't help but show a look of displeasure.

Zhou Yu's eyes were like lightning, he stabbed the crying man on the ground, and scolded: "Now we have a strong enemy before us, and a rebellion later, the situation is critical. The purpose of my supervisor's summoning of the lords is to discuss countermeasures and save the crisis. At this moment, you are acting like a little girl, crying uncontrollably and disturbing the morale of our army, do you really think that the governor dare not kill you?!"

The crying man was terrified, and hastily put away his tears and kowtowed, pleading guilty to Zhou Yu: "The villain first heard that the Lord was killed by a thief, and I couldn't help myself for a while. I hope the governor forgives my sin, I hope the governor forgives my sin..."

All the generals came back to their senses at this moment, and interceded for him one after another. Although this man behaved badly, he was loyal to Sun Yi. In the face of a great enemy, it is not appropriate to kill loyal ministers and righteous men.

Zhou Yu's character was magnificent and elegant, and he never ruled the army with strictness, so he borrowed the donkey from the slope to save him from the death penalty, and expelled him from the tent.

Qingning was restored in the big tent, Zhou Yu sat back in the commander's seat again, and asked the generals, "Can you calm down now?"

Cheng Pu, who was sitting next to Zhou Yu, was deeply ashamed when he heard this. Faced with such a dangerous situation, Zhou Yu was still calm and calm, and he was far behind in comparison.

Being bullied by Zhou Yu, a younger generation, once made him feel bad. Cheng Pu thought he would be a long-term general and humiliated him, but Zhou Yu tolerated him without hesitation. Cheng Pufei is also a narrow-minded generation, and gradually no longer competes with him .

Cheng Pu is a man of strategy and he is also the governor of the right department. He was the first to say: "Wanling is not only the city of Danyang County, but also the hub of Jiangdong. It reaches the back of our army in the west, and reaches the land of Wu and Hui in the east. If it falls into the hands of thieves, Jiangdong is in danger! We should send troops immediately to take back Wanling!"

Lu Fan held a different opinion: "Guilan and Dai Yuan are both handsome and talented people in Wu, and they are not incompetent. In the name of revenge, the two recruited the Chu army to assassinate Danyang and seize Wanling. The plan was thorough. , The secret of action is definitely not a hasty thought, it must be a long-term plan.

Now that Guilan and Dai have all the assets and goods of the Danyang army, they are recruiting surrenders and rebels, and defending the city. If we send less troops, it will not be enough to recapture Wanling. risk.

It is better to leave a small number of troops to stand firm in Spring Valley to stop the Chu army, and retreat to Shicheng and Dangli to redeploy the defense. "

One of the two advocated recapturing Wanling, and the other advocated avoiding the front for the time being, each had its own reasons, and the generals in the tent were also divided into two factions, they couldn't reach a conclusion, and finally they all looked at Zhou Yu by coincidence.

"The governor also agrees with Cheng Pu's theory. Wanling and even the most important places cannot be lost. We must take back Wanling as soon as possible!" Zhou Yu sided with Cheng Pu without any surprise. Lu Fan's strategy was too conservative. Wanling wanted to abandon the Spring Valley, but Zhou Yu didn't think about it at all.

The left and right ministers agreed, and even if Lu Fan and the others disagreed, they could only accept it.

Chen Wu was tall and mighty, out of the crowd, he challenged Zhou Yu and said, "Commander, the last general is willing to lead his troops to Wanling to quell the rebellion."

Chen Wu is not only brave and good at fighting, but also kind and charitable. He is also a fellow of Lujiang. Zhou Yu thinks highly of him, but Chen Wu is more suitable to be a forward and general. rest assured.

Huang Gai came out following Chen Wu: "The governor, the last general is also willing to lead the army to fight against the rebellion."

Huang Gai is well versed in the art of war, possessing both wisdom and courage, and is capable of taking on this great task. However, Zhou Yu has no doubts in his heart. Although Huang Gai is a veteran of Jiangdong, he is from Lingling County in Jingnan. Liu Jing, will Huang Gai be affected and turn to Liu Jing?Send him there, once he turns his back...

It's no wonder that Zhou Yu was suspicious. Since Tai Shici, who established the world with faith, could surrender to Liu Jing, why not Huang Gai?
Cheng Pu saw that Zhou Yu didn't respond to Chen Wu's and Huang Gai's invitation, but looked at himself instead. He didn't know what he meant. Looking around the generals in the tent, there was indeed no more suitable candidate than himself, so he immediately stood up and said: "Or Old man, let's go."

Zhou Yu was very pleased, and said: "With Cheng Gong personally going out, the governor will have no worries." Then he asked: "How many troops does Cheng Gong need?"

"Five thousand." Cheng Pu replied in a deep voice, less than five thousand is not enough to take back Wanling, more than five thousand will affect the Chungu defense line, five thousand is not too much, not too little, just right.

Zhou Yu immediately agreed: "Okay, five thousand is five thousand. In addition, I will send a letter to Captain Quan, urging him to lead troops south as soon as possible to join Cheng Gong."

Cheng Pu nodded, not paying much attention to it. Quan Rou, the captain of Danyang who was stationed in Shicheng, had only a thousand troops under his command.

Binggui was very quick, Cheng Pu bid farewell to Zhou Yu at once, took Huang Gai, Song Qian and other generals out of the big tent, gathered the trilogy, and rushed to Wanling.

At the same time, Zhuge Liang took Gan Ning as the general, Wei Yan as the front, and GUI Zheng as the guide. He also led five thousand troops and rushed to Wanling.
