The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

The people in Jiangdong are not the people in Jingzhou. Not only do they have no wages, they don’t have enough food and clothing, and they also have to pull the fibers. Everyone complains. Just after Qichun, the trackers started to go on strike.Xu Sheng was furious, killed several people in a row, and forced the civilian husband to continue on the road, but he walked a lot slower.

On this day, the grain ship arrived in Wuchang, less than fifty miles away from Sanjiangkou.Xu Sheng was in a good mood and ordered to rest overnight before leaving tomorrow.After so many days of busy work, not to mention civilian husbands, even the soldiers are exhausted.As soon as the sky darkened, they all lay down on the ground and fell asleep.Xu Sheng was still doing his duty. After the others fell asleep, Xu Sheng took a few of his personal guards to check the boat one by one.

Just checked around, no problems.Xu Sheng was about to walk into his cabin to rest.Suddenly a personal guard shouted loudly: "My lord, look, what is that?"

In the dark night, under the shroud of mist, a large group of black shadows is slowly approaching the grain ship.Xu Sheng stared at it for a long time. Firstly, the weather was not good, and secondly, the fog was so heavy that he couldn't see anything vaguely, only the black shadow was getting closer.Not one, but three or five.The water waves slapped the warship, causing the warship to shake a little.Suddenly, a torch lit up above the black shadow on the opposite side, hanging high in the air, illuminating the blurred figure of the warship.

"Enemy attack...!" Xu Sheng could see clearly that the huge Cao character battle flag was within the range illuminated by the torch.The pawn who had just fallen asleep heard this sound suddenly, and couldn't react at all.Xu Sheng quickly sent someone to urge him.

After the warship on the opposite side lit a torch, it lit up torches one after another. The whole warship was illuminated by hundreds of torches, making people's eyes uncomfortable.Standing at the bow of the boat, Mao Jie looked at the grain ship like a long dragon in the distance, felt that the distance was about the same, stretched out his hand to test the direction of the wind, and nodded slightly: "Shoot the arrow!"

Tens of thousands of rockets cut through the darkness between the sky and the earth like shooting stars, heading straight for the grain ship.Xu Sheng waved the big sword in his hand to knock down the rockets that were aimed at him one by one, but his soldiers were not so skilled.Many soldiers had already been shot by arrows and fell into the Yangtze River screaming.The grain ship was set on fire, and the soldiers braved the rain of arrows to put out the fire. Although they were very close to the water, there were too many places where the fire was on fire, and they had to guard against the attack of bows and arrows. Seeing that the grain ships were set on fire, they could not be extinguished. .

The civilian husband on the shore stood there in a daze.According to Jiangdong's military regulations, if the food and grass are lost, the general will have [-] army sticks, and all the civilians will be beheaded.Seeing that there was no way to save him, he hurriedly turned and ran into the darkness.The civilian husbands immediately dispersed, and the soldiers in charge of guarding them didn't care at all.

"Great Governor!" Zhu Huan suddenly broke into Zhou Yu's big tent with the curtain of the tent.Zhou Yu half-lyed on the couch, and the servants beside him fed him medicine one by one.For the past few days, Zhou Yu had difficulty even getting out of bed, coughing up blood every now and then.Long Fei couldn't stand it anymore, he had already sent someone to invite the genius doctor Zhang Ji, and he would arrive within a day or two.

Zhu Huan saw that Zhou Yu's complexion was ugly, and his former demeanor had long since disappeared, so he swallowed the words again.Zhou Yu pushed aside the medicine spoon brought to his mouth by his servants, turned his head to look at Zhu Huan, and coughed lightly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhu Huan lowered his head and remained silent.Zhou Yu took a deep breath: "Say it quickly! What's the matter?"

Afraid that Zhou Yu would get angry, Zhu Huan hurriedly said, "That's right, there is another fire in the direction of Wuchang. According to the time calculation, our grain transport ship is almost in Wuchang!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." A series of coughs made the listeners feel terrified, worried that Zhou Yu would not be able to catch up and die here.

Zhu Huan quickly explained: "General Governor, don't worry, maybe not! We haven't received any reports from the scouts yet!"

Zhou Yu coughed for a long time, coughed up another mouthful of blood, got up with support, pointed at Zhu Huan, and said weakly: "Quick! Lead troops to Wuchang for rescue immediately, and we must keep our food no matter what!"

"No!" Zhu Huan promised, turned around and ran out the door.

Naturally, Long Fei also saw the flames in the direction of Wuchang, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and glanced at the crowd: "Why is it there again? What happened?"

Xu Shu hurriedly said: "If my guess is correct, the grain transport ship of the Jiangdong Army should have been burned by Cao Jun! According to the time calculation, the grain transport ship should be near Wuchang!"

"Let Cao Cao succeed twice in a row, what did Zhou Yu, the governor, do?" Long Fei frowned: "No, I have to see Zhou Yu!"

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Xu Shu said hastily, "now Zhou Yu is no longer in command of the Jiangdong army. After Zhou Yu fell ill, Lu Su has taken over from Zhou Yu. The people who transported the food this time were all selected by Lu Su himself!"

Guo Jia looked at the blazing fire in the sky, fan kept fanning, then stopped suddenly, rolled his eyes, and took a breath of cool air.Although the movement was small, Long Fei still noticed it, and hurriedly asked: "What can Feng Xiao say?"

Guo Jia thought for a while: "The last time Wuchang fell, the chief general Huang Gai was drinking and made a mistake. This time, the Jiangdong grain ship was robbed near Wuchang. Don't you think it's a bit strange? The matter of grain transportation is top secret. We are Jiangdong. The allies of the army are also obtained with great effort, but why Cao Cao knows it clearly, and also accurately grasped the time, these problems must be carefully thought about!"

Xu Shu was taken aback: "You mean there is another traitor among us?"

"It's not us, it's Jiangdong!" Guo Jia pointed to the barracks opposite: "And this traitor can still get access to core secrets, otherwise how would he know the time and route of food delivery?"

Long Fei nodded: "There is such a possibility, Yuan Zhi, go and investigate immediately! We must dig out this traitor! The battle with Cao Jun is imminent, and there must be no trouble."

"No!" Xu Shu quickly agreed.

Xu Sheng was fished out of the river by several soldiers.Although Xu Sheng was brave, there were too many arrows, and he was hit by two arrows in the chest. Fortunately, the armor prevented him from hurting his vitals.Seeing a fire dragon on the river, Xu Sheng wanted to cry but had no tears.The surrounding soldiers didn't know what to say, and they were all speechless.Zhu Huan came out of the dark night, holding a big knife in his hand, and stared at Xu Sheng viciously.

He was also one step too late. By the time his water army arrived in Wuchang, Cao's army had already retreated, leaving only grain ships surrounded by fire.Seeing Cao Jun's warship that had gone far away, Zhu Huan immediately ordered his men to chase after it.He went ashore in a light boat by himself.

Xu Sheng hurriedly stood up and saluted Zhu Huan.Zhu Huan snorted coldly: "No need! The governor has already known about this matter, will you follow me back to accept the crime, or will I tie you up and go back to see the governor?"

Xu Sheng said lightly: "Don't bother General Zhu, I'll go with you!"

In this battle, Cao's army did not lose a single soldier, but burned tens of thousands of dans of grain and grass in Jiangdong.Zhou Yu dragged his sick body to personally intervene in this matter.Xu Sheng knelt quietly under the hall, and the Jiangdong generals lined up on both sides.Zhou Yu coughed loudly, and was about to cough up his lungs. Lu Su let out a long sigh: "The governor, take care of your health. This is due to my improper employment. If you want to judge the crime, I ask the governor to punish me first!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhou Yu couldn't say a word, and kept coughing, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.After Zhou Yu finished coughing, he took a deep breath: "Forget it! Because of my illness, I was unable to support this war, which caused successive losses. I have already reported to the lord, please resign from the position of the commander-in-chief. Brother Zijing is wise. Above me, everything will be arranged by brother Zijing from now on!"

Just as Zhu Huan was about to refute, Zhou Yu waved his hand to signal him to be quiet.Lu Su hurriedly said: "The governor is my pillar in the east of the Yangtze River. This time I am resisting Cao Quannai's command. I am only a scribe. How can I bear such a heavy burden!"

Zhou Yu coughed a few more times, and stretched out his hand to take the sword from the guard next to him: "Brother Zijing, you are welcome, this is the sword given by the lord, if anyone refuses to obey, you can cut it off first and then play it! Healed up, Jiangdong's safety will depend on you from now on!"

Everyone hurriedly knelt down.Zhou Yu winked, and the guard brought the sword to Lu Su.The atmosphere in the big tent was extraordinarily solemn.The infantry waited for Lu Su to take the sword immediately, while the navy stared at Lu Su one by one, as if as long as Lu Su received the sword skillfully, they would swarm up and chop Lu Su into a pulp.

At the moment when Lu Su was about to reach out his hand, someone outside the tent suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait a minute, Dudu Zhou!"

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look outside the tent.Long Fei walked in with a group of people from Jingzhou.When passing by Lu Su's side, Long Fei deliberately took a second look at him.Zhou Yu wanted to get up to greet him.Long Fei smiled: "You are welcome, Governor Zhou, you and I don't need these clichés!"

Someone moved a small table and put it aside.Long Fei sat up on his buttocks, waved his hand to signal the Jiangdong generals to stand up, looked at Lu Su, Long Fei smiled and said: "I shouldn't care about this matter, but Cao Jun's soldiers are pressing down on the situation, it is related to the life and death of you and my family, so I have to Say something!"

"General Long, please speak!" Zhou Yu gasped.

Long Fei said: "Among the people in Jiangdong, the only one who can compete with Cao Cao is Governor Zhou. I didn't belittle you! Look at you? You failed one after another, why? It's because you didn't listen to Governor Zhou! Huang Gai was drinking too much, and Lu Su sent troops without permission. Transporting grain, these are all mistakes made by your infantry from Moling! For so many days, I have been observing, who of you generals and lieutenants of the infantry pay attention to Zhou Dudu? Huh? "

There was no sound in the big tent, except for Long Fei's voice: "If you want to keep Jiangdong, you have to fight against the enemy, but you are fighting with each other, and you don't put your mind on fighting! Today I will let you know that as long as Zhou Dudu doesn't do it, I will be Long Fei." Retreat immediately!"

Everyone was shocked, they didn't expect Long Fei to defend Zhou Yu so much.Lu Su felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.With the hands that had not yet been extended, he leaned back unconsciously, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said: "What General Long taught me is that all this happened because of our discord! Listen up, from now on. , Everything is under the arrangement of the Great Governor! Defeat Cao Cao, and give me peace in Jiangdong!"
