Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Originally, Huang Zu had fled to a nearby city, found his colleagues, and was preparing to lead his troops back to rescue Guiyang City.

However, before Huang Zu left, news came that the defenders of Guiyang City had surrendered.

"What? Surrendered?" Huang Zu almost fainted from anger after hearing the news.

"When I left Guiyang, I told them to hold on for two days. Why did they surrender?"

Huang Zu understood that now that Guiyang City had been destroyed, his situation was over.

Although he could also follow Zhou Yu's example and use the strategy of cutting off water and sources, this strategy was the first to be used by Zhou Yu after all.

If Huang Zu uses it again, Zhou Yu will definitely be on guard.

Thinking of this, Huang Zu understood that the situation in Guiyang City was over, and it was basically impossible to get it back in a short time.

Therefore, Huang Zu gave up leading his troops back to help, and instead went north to Jingzhou City to seek apology from Liu Biao.

……

In Guiyang City, the surrendered soldiers gradually learned that Huang Zu was not dead!

Those words just now were not used by Zhou Yu to deceive them.

After the lieutenants learned about this, they all cursed Zhou Yu in their hearts.

But now, they have surrendered, and even if they want to regret it, it is already too late.

If he feels regretful in his heart, it is better to make peace with it now that it has come.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu quickly stabilized the situation in Guiyang City.

At the same time, Zhou Yu also sent Gan Ning out and built a tall camp to the west of Guiyang City for garrisoning troops.

This camp and Guiyang City are at odds with each other. At the same time, it can also guard the upper reaches of the river, killing two birds with one stone.

After the situation in Guiyang City stabilized, Sun Ce began to discuss with Zhou Yu to lead troops north to help Sun Jian.

"Gong Jin, part of Danyang County is now in Lu Bu's hands. My father is confronting him in Danyang County, and I want to help."

Zhou Yu nodded when he heard this: "My uncle does want to help, but I should be the one to help, while you have to stay and guard Guiyang City."

"At the same time, you also need to contact Jiang Qin in Yuzhang County and ask him to station troops at the junction of Yuzhang County and Guiyang County to support Guiyang at any time."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Although we captured Guiyang City, we only controlled the northeastern part of Guiyang County."

"After I leave, Bo Fu, you have to slowly take over the southeastern part of Guiyang County. This way, half of Guiyang County is in our hands, and we won't be afraid of Liu Biao leading his troops to attack."

Sun Ce nodded when he heard this. He knew that considering Zhou Yu's ability, it would be the best thing for him to stay and guard Guiyang City while expanding his territory.

But Sun Ce also understood the reason why Zhou Yu didn't stay.

The Jiangdong Army has always been the personal soldiers of their Sun Group, and they only obey the orders of Sun's father and son when fighting abroad.

Although Zhou Yu has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats since his arrival, his time in Jiangdong Army was too short after all.

On weekdays, it was okay when Sun Ce was in front of him. If Sun Ce was not around, Zhou Yu might not be able to mobilize the Jiangdong Army based on his own prestige.

"Gong Jin, when you go north, you must be careful. It doesn't matter if you can't win the battle, but you must not make any mistakes." Sun Ce patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said.Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, the southern part of Yangzhou has been pacified now, I'm sure nothing will happen to me."

Sun Ce asked Cheng Pu to take 1000 people to escort Zhou Yu north to Danyang, while he himself stayed behind and continued southward to expand territory based on Guiyang City.

……

In Jingzhou City, Liu Biao looked at Huang Zu kneeling in front of him, his face turned red with anger.

"Huang Zu, thanks to me trusting you so much, you actually lost Guiyang City to me?"

Huang Zu was so frightened by this rebuke that he did not dare to breathe. He could only say in a trembling voice: "My lord, Sun Ce got the support of Zhou Gongjin's plan to cut off the water source in Guiyang City."

"The general originally wanted to break out of the encirclement at night and search for rescue. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Sun Ce on the way. None of the 20 people accompanying him survived, and all were killed."

"This way, Jiangdong's army was ambushing on the road. The final general was chased and intercepted along the way. He finally escaped and went to Yang'an for help. However, before he could return with his troops, he heard that the defenders of Guiyang City were opening the city. Surrender."

Huang Zu felt very wronged at this moment. He originally thought that after Zhou Yu and Sun Ce implemented the strategy of cutting off water and sources, they would definitely take it lightly, and he could easily leave Guiyang and look for reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, that guy Sun Ce actually led people to ambush him on the road.

He finally escaped, but his men thought he was dead and surrendered.

This leaves Huang Zu to reason.

Liu Biao knew that Huang Zu had always been loyal to him, but now he was defeated again, so he didn't make it too difficult for him.

"Forget it, you have been stationed in Guiyang all year round, and you have worked hard without any merit. I will not punish you this time, but you must make up for your mistakes and retake Guiyang City!"

"Yes!" Huang Zu responded respectfully, and he was relieved when he heard that Liu Biao did not intend to punish him.

Afterwards, Liu Biao asked Huang Zu to go down and rest.

Seeing this, Kuai Yue on the side stepped forward and said to Liu Biao: "My lord, the last time General Wenpin and I were ambushed, it was also led by Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin."

When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What is the origin of this Zhou Gongjin?"

"My lord, after my investigation, I found out that Zhou Yu was born into the Zhou family, and his father is Zhou Yi." Kuai Yue responded hurriedly.

"The Zhou family?" Liu Biao was stunned when he heard this: "Isn't the Zhou family currently operating in Huainan? That is Cao Zixiu's territory. Why did Zhou Yu not serve under Cao Zixiu, but went to Sun Ce instead?"

Kuai Yue hesitated for a while, but finally spoke: "Lord, according to rumors, Zhou Yu has the ability to navigate the world. He is unwilling to succumb to Cao Ang, so he chose to join his former friend Sun Ce!"

When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, and then said: "So, this Zhou Yu also has a heart to compete in the world?"

As Liu Biao finished speaking, he couldn't help but think of his ambition when he was young.

Unconsciously, a trace of fighting spirit ignited in my heart.

But when he thought of the disastrous defeat in Yangzhou, he felt a little afraid of Sun Ce and Sun Jian.

Thinking of the gentleness at home, he finally ordered: "Ask Li Yan to mobilize [-] troops, take Huang Zu and Wenpin south, and take back the lost cities around Guiyang City for me!"

"I don't believe it anymore. Sun and his son have not yet established themselves in Yangzhou, but they can really dominate our Jingzhou!" (End of Chapter)
