Chapter 241 Opportunity
Jishibao.

Zhou Yu was sharpening the ring head knife.

With his current status, of course he doesn't need to do these trivial things by himself.

But this knife means a lot.

It was given by Yang Zheng himself.

The blade was black and black, as if a dim light was flowing slowly, illuminating half of Zhou Yu's face.

"General Zhou, the time has come. The Xiping army is exhausted, and it is time for emptiness." Shi Zuan has been staying in Jishi Fort these days.

He knew very well that Zhou Yu was already moved.

It is about one's own family, one's own blood, no one can calm down.

Especially since the Han and Wei Dynasties, filial piety has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And it was the promise of the court officials.

The Sima family not only held the power of the court, but also held the leader of the world's gentry.

"Whether the general is attacking the Western Capital or sweeping the Hequ, it is a fatal move. The general is waiting for the good news in Luoyang." Shi Zhuan was a little anxious.

In the past few days, he has been analyzing the situation for Zhou Yu. At the beginning, Zhou Yu still had great enthusiasm, but gradually he became less concerned and talked less and less.

Zhou Yu raised the knife and tested the blade with one hand, and it was already indestructible.

"The knife is too sharp to be sharpened. If it is too sharp, it will not last. It is the same with people. If I do this, will the Zhou family be able to return to the noble family?" Zhou Yu's eyes gleamed like blades.

The gentry are all morally clean.

They will not accept a betrayer.

Since the Zhou family has fallen, without the inheritance of three or two generations, how can it be said that it will be revived if it is revived?
Moreover, Sima Yi swore against Luoshui in front of the gentry, and still wiped out the Cao Shuang clan, and his integrity has fallen to the bottom.

"There is a promise from the general himself, why are you worried?" Even Shi Zuan himself felt that he had no confidence in these words.

"Would the general care about me, a small side general, just using me." Zhou Yu sighed, "When I was the head of the Wuwei camp, I gave my life to fight for the court. Luo Gu was defeated in the first battle, and more than a hundred thousand troops Lost, if General Yang's bloody battle hadn't opened the gap, would I have Zhou Yu today? The court has abandoned me like a shoe, and only General Yang treats me like a brother. Now that he is in danger, would I be a beast if I did this? "

The gloomy light in Zhou Yu's eyes condensed into a mass of murderous aura.

Shi Zuan suddenly felt chills all over his body, "Luo Gu's defeat was caused by Cao Shuang..."

"...What is the difference between Sima and Cao Shuang?" Zhou Yu's expression became colder.

A few drops of cold sweat welled up on Shi Zuan's face.

Zhou Yu put the knife back into its sheath, turned his back, and waved his hand, "I won't kill you, you can go."

Shi Zuan sneered, "If Yang Zheng knew that you would stay with me for a long time, would he still let you?"

"In that case..." Zhou Yu turned around like lightning, with a "clang" sound and a flash of green light, "Then let me borrow your head!"

The voice and the knife light terminated at the same time.

A red line appeared on Shi Zhan's neck, and he stood there blankly with frightened eyes, as if he didn't expect the knife to come so fast and so suddenly.

There was an inexplicable hiss in his throat.

Blood also spurted out.

Shi Zuan never thought that he would die at the hands of this unsmiling and often silent person.

Zhou Yu pulled up the long knife, and there was no trace of blood on the knife, "Reviving the Zhou family may not necessarily turn to the Sima family!"

This was also the last sentence Shi Zuan heard.

Break Qiang City.

"Deng thief is coming up again!" The city head roared.

The soldiers got up tiredly, lifted the wood and rolling stones, and drew the bowstring.

For three days, Deng Ai has been non-stop day and night, either feinting or storming, or harassing with catapults, exhausting the defenders.

What is false is real, and what is real is false.

Sometimes, the battle drums in the city are thundering and roaring, and the defenders are nervously preparing to meet the enemy, only to find that the enemy is just beating the drums and shouting.

Sometimes, tens of thousands of people rush in like a tide, erect a long ladder, but after a few golden sounds, they recede like a tide.

Sometimes, two or three thousand Deng Aijun slowly advanced, and when everyone thought it was just a feint attack, they suddenly launched a fierce attack. Deng Zhong personally put on armor and held a blade, climbed the city wall, and almost captured the southern city wall. At the last moment, Yang Zheng led him to kiss him. Soldiers were reinforced to boost morale before they drove off.

At night, drums are played, shouts are shouted, and rockets and kerosene are released.

The disturbed city walls are restless all night.

A little slack, Deng Ai is like a hungry wolf smelling meat, always finding the weakest place.

You thought he would attack the east city, but he chose to attack the west city.

You thought he would directly attack the city wall from the cloud car, but you didn't expect his digging army to dig tunnels...

After a few rounds, Yang Zheng fully understood Deng Ai's power.

I didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, I didn't rest well for several days and nights, I was exhausted, and my mind was in a trance.

The key is that there are too few capable people.

Only Meng Yu and Meng Guan can barely stand alone.

It's a pity that the city wall has four sides, and there are too many things to worry about, Yang Zheng dare not slack off for a moment.

This battle is very important to me.

The soldiers were so exhausted that they could fall asleep by leaning on the pheasant disc.

"The general might as well go and rest for a while." Meng Guan said with dark circles.

Yang Zheng was also polite, nodded, lay on the city wall for a few breaths, and then fell into a deep sleep.

It feels like I just closed my eyes when I was awakened by the cheers from the city.

"Reinforcement, the enemy is coming to reinforce again."

Yang Zheng propped up his heavy eyelids and looked to the east in a daze. A group of young and strong escorts swaggered into the enemy's formation with food and grass.

"This is Deng Ai's trick, why make such a fuss?" Meng Guan scolded.

After sleeping for a while, my mind became clearer.

A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, "Could it be that Deng Aijun is short of food?"

There is no food, so food is delivered with such fanfare.

He not only deceived the enemy, but also deceived his own people.

Just like some people in later generations, the less money they have, the more they have to pretend to be rich.

In order to kill himself, Deng Ai assembled 6 or [-] horses.

People eat horse chews, which is not a small amount in a day.

However, Deng Ai has been farming in Nan'an for many years, and logically there will be no risk of food shortage.

"Report to the general, General Zhou of Jishishan attacked suddenly the day before yesterday, attacked Deng Ai's army grain road, and burned nearly [-] stones of grain!" The scout rushed to report.

Everyone on the city wall was overjoyed.

"You read that right? The city of Poqiang was completely besieged, how did you find out?" Yang Zheng couldn't believe it.

The scout looked at Yang Zheng in surprise.

Meng Guan reminded in a low voice: "There is a secret road leading to the outside of the city at Camp Nine."

Yang Zheng slapped his forehead, it seemed that he was really in a trance these days.

This news is too critical.

First of all, Zhou Yu did not betray him, the last worry in the rear was lifted, and Jishi Mountain could not only threaten Xiping, but also Deng Ai's grain path.

Secondly, Deng Ai has assembled an army of [-] to [-], and there are nearly [-] horses. If the food supply is insufficient, how long can Deng Ai last?

"Okay!" Yang Zheng felt that he finally saw a glimmer of victory.

Any slight weakness in war is fatal.

What's more, food is a matter of life and death.

Although Yang Zheng already knew that the reinforcements were on the way, Deng Ai also knew that the reinforcements were coming. Taking advantage of civil engineering, he had already transformed the surrounding area of ​​Poqiang into an iron wall. They are each other's horns, just waiting for the reinforcements to come and take their lives.

The drama is almost in its final stages.

Guo Huai, Chen Tai, and Deng Ai are now only missing Jiang Wei.

Now that Deng Ai has been firmly attracted to Poqiang, Jiang Wei's only opponent is Guo Huai who is far away in Tianshui.

If there is a tacit cooperation, Deng Ai, the vicious dog, should have to explain it here.

The governor of Yongzhou died in the hands of the Shu army, which is reasonable and legal, and it is very reasonable to return his mother!

Smart people don't need any hints. Jiang Wei has been staring at Yongliang for so many years, so he knows who he should hit and who he shouldn't.
