The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 317
Yuan Shao asked who was going to persuade Zhou Yu, but none of the accompanying staff was willing to take on this responsibility.

After waiting for a while, still no one said anything, Yuan Shao sneered: "What? No one dares to see Zhou Yu?"

"If the lord does not give up, I am willing to serve you." Someone stood up and said to Yuan Shao, "But I have one condition, and I ask the lord to agree."

The person who got up was named Xun Chen, and he was a close brother to Cao Cao's aide Xun Yu.

It's just that Xun Chen joined Yuan Shao in his early years, while Xun Yu chose to work for Cao Cao. From then on, the two brothers were their own masters, and they didn't have much contact in private.

Xun Chen was willing to see Zhou Yu, of course Yuan Shao would not have any objections.

"If you have any conditions, just say so." Yuan Shao graciously motioned him to continue.

Xun Chen replied: "Master Mingjian, actually I don't think I can persuade Zhou Yu."

"Oh?" Yuan Shao asked, "Why?"

"Zhou Yu joined Lu Bu because of Sun Bofu." Xun Chen replied, "Now that Sun Bofu and Lu Bu are together, my lord just persuaded Zhou Yu, but did not give Sun Bofu a way out. Is there any possibility of success?"

Yuan Shao frowned when asked by Xun Chen.

After pondering for a moment, he asked Xun Chen, "Since you think you can't convince Zhou Yu, why are you still willing to go?"

"It's not for other reasons, but for my lord." Xun Chen replied, "If no one is willing to meet Zhou Yu, my lord may not believe what I said."

"You think Zhou Yu is unconvincing. If you are allowed to go, how can you persuade him to surrender?" Yuan Shao squeezed his chin before thinking of how to respond, Feng Ji said: "You Ruo really can't go."

"I can't go, I'm afraid no one will go anymore." Xun Chen said to him: "If Yuan Tu doesn't believe it, you can ask everyone, who else is willing to see Zhou Yu?"

Xun Chen really gave Feng Ji a blow.

Feng Ji's eyes fell on everyone's faces.

All the staff members looked down at him.

Around Yuan Shao, Feng Ji, Shen Pei, Guo Tu and other few people are the most powerful.

Of course, the staff members were unwilling to offend such a figure who called the wind and rain in Hebei.

No one is willing to go, and no one is willing to meet Feng Ji's eyes.

Since I don't want to offend him, I have to avoid him. If I make eye contact with him, if I am recommended to meet Zhou Yu by him, it will be bad luck.

After all, Zhou Yu is Lu Bu's subordinate.

The army is about to arrive in Yanjin, so if we go to see Zhou Yu at this time, can we still get some benefits?

Xun Chen refuted Feng Ji in public, which made him very embarrassed.

He said to Yuan Shao: "Master, since no one else is willing to go, there is nothing wrong with me going."

Feng Ji proposed that he go to see Zhou Yu, Yuan Shao hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it's not suitable for you to go..."

Yuan Shao's meaning was very clear, Fengji's reputation in Hebei was too high, he went to Yanjin, and if Zhouyu detained him, Hebei would suffer a lot.

"My lord conquered the world for the purpose of unifying the country and revitalizing the Han Dynasty." Feng Ji said: "I am just a mere person. For the sake of the world and the master's plan, I am willing to go to Yanjin. Even if Zhou Yu's intention is not good for me, I still agree gone."

What Feng Ji said was impassioned, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little touched when he heard it.

He closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he said to Feng Ji: "Yuan Tu insists on going, I just want to give you a word, if Zhou Yu refuses to surrender, you don't have to force him, just come back."

"My lord's words, I will write them down." Feng Ji bowed and returned to Yuan Shao: "In order not to delay the lord's important affairs, I will take my leave first."

"Yuan Tu is careful?" After all, Feng Ji is one of the most valued people around Yuan Shao. He is going to see Zhou Yu, and Yuan Shao is really reluctant.

Watching Fengji go away, Yuan Shao's gaze went around the faces of the staff again.

Everyone panicked when he saw him, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't know how to tell his staff.

He couldn't blame everyone present just for Fengji alone.

In fact, Yuan Shao was most annoyed by Xun Chen. If he hadn't stood up and said he was willing to see Zhou Yu, and put forward some conditions, he wouldn't have gotten into a fight with Feng Ji.

Feng Ji lost face, if he didn't go to Yanjin to ask to see Zhou Yu, he couldn't justify it.

But he went, which is really worrying.

**************************************
Yuan Shao led the army forward slowly, and Feng Ji came to Yanjin first.

Zhou Yu was also puzzled when he heard that he asked for a meeting every time.

He invited the generals who accompanied him to guard Yanjin into his tent.

As soon as the generals took their seats, Zhou Yu said, "Generals, I have received news that Yuan Shao's subordinates are coming to Yanjin to ask to see me. Do you think this is strange?"

The generals obviously didn't expect that Feng Ji would come to see Zhou Yu.

They looked at each other, and Gao Shun asked, "What does General Zhou think is the purpose of asking for a meeting?"

"What else could he have planned." Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "He must think that we are only serving Chuhou, and he has no loyalty to Chuhou, so he came here to persuade him to surrender."

"What does Gong Jin plan to do?" An old general sitting there asked Zhou Yu.

This person is about five or sixty years old, with a face full of wind and frost, calm and majestic. When greeting Zhou Yu, he directly called Biao.

Zhou Yu had an honorable status in Jiangdong back then, and it was impossible for ordinary old generals to call him by his name, unless this old general had also made great contributions to Jiangdong.

"Old General Cheng, what do you think I should do?" Zhou Yu didn't answer, but asked the old general instead.

The old general's name was Cheng Pu, and he was a general under Sun Jian. Later, Sun Jian was shot and killed by Huang Zu, and he followed Sun Ce all the time. Of course, his status in Jiangdong was not low.

Yuan Shao led the army to crusade against Yanjin. Except for a small number of Lu Bu's subordinates and staff who followed him before, most of them were Jiangdong's subordinates after Sun Ce joined him.

As Sun Ce's general, of course Cheng Pu also joined Lu Bu.

He said to Zhou Yu: "It's fine if we didn't take refuge in Chuhou at the beginning. Now that we choose to take refuge in Chuhou, we have to be loyal to Chuhou. If you want to come to Yanjin every time, I mean don't see him at all, or wait for him to come. Yanjin, just kill him again."

Zhou Yu nodded: "The old general is right."

All the people who came from Jiangdong agreed, but Gao Shun, who originally followed Lu Bu, raised a different opinion.

Gao Shun said to Zhou Yu: "If you ask for a meeting every time, you will definitely have his own rhetoric. I don't think there is any harm in listening to what he has to say. When he finishes speaking, General Zhou will just send him away."

"If I see him, the Marquis of Chu will find out later, wouldn't it be clear?" Zhou Yu shook his head: "I think it's better not to meet him."

"The Marquis of Chu sent someone to report it." Gao Shun said, "You can ask the Marquis of Chu what he thinks he should do with Fengji. When he sees Fengji, he will deal with him according to Marquis Chu's wishes. Will he still be blamed?"

What Gao Shun said was very reasonable. Zhou Yu nodded after hearing this, and then asked everyone, "Do you think what General Gao said makes sense?"

"General Gao was the first to follow Marquis Chu, he said so, what else can we think about it?" Cheng Pu said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin sent a messenger to see Marquis Chu, and listen to what Marquis Chu has to say. "

The news that Lu Bu defeated Cao Cao has spread in Xuzhou.

But Zhou Yu got the news later.

It was only two days after I got the news that Lu Bu had defeated Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu said, "Although Marquis Chu has already defeated Cao Cao, I don't think it's safe. After all, Cao Cao should not be very far away from Dangshan at this time. Sending a messenger at random will probably cause trouble." Delaying important matters..."

He then looked at a general beside him.

The general was tall and big with a dark face, sitting there he was half taller than the average person.

"Zhou Tai, you go to Dangshan." Zhou Yu said to him: "When you see Marquis Chu, tell me that Feng Ji asked to see me, and I have already planned to let him come to see you. But first, you must ask Marquis Chu how to deal with it." Fengji. Whether to kill or shut down, I ask the Marquis of Chu to decide."

Zhou Tai stood up and replied, "I'll go right away."

He strode away, went to the door and called the guards to lead the horse for him, and rushed to Dangshan.

After Zhou Tai left, Zhou Yu asked the crowd again: "Everyone, Yuan Shao led the army to Yanjin. We have few soldiers, but he has many. How can we defeat him?"

The generals looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

It was Cheng Pu who said to Zhou Yu: "Except for Gong Jin, who else can think of a way to defeat Yuan Shao? When Gong Jin asks us, why not ask yourself how you want to defeat Yuan Shao."

When Cheng Pu said this, Zhou Yu could only shake his head and smile: "I have indeed thought of a solution, but I don't know if the generals agree or not."

"Gongjin please speak clearly." Cheng Pu signaled him to continue.

Zhou Yu said: "Yuan Shao led the troops to Yanjin. The only way for him to cross the Yellow River is to find a ferry at the ferry. I plan to requisition all the ferry boats at the ferry, so that they have no boats to use, and then set up hidden piles along the Yellow River. .Even if Yuan Shao finds the boat, it is impossible for him to get to the river bank."

"These are just ways to stop the enemy army, they cannot defeat them." Gao Shun asked, "Is there no other way for General Zhou?"

"Of course there are other ways." Zhou Yu smiled lightly, "Now I'm telling you how to defeat the enemy. Yuan Shao is here. If you don't follow my plan, wouldn't it be useless?"

Gao Shun nodded, and then he asked Zhou Yu, "What does General Zhou mean..."

"What I mean is, when Yuan Shao came, we saw his deployment and made a decision, so the strategy we made would be more useful." Zhou Yu stood up and walked to the sand table.

He looked down at the sand table and said to the generals: "The Marquis of Chu asked us to follow the method of the General Staff Headquarters when we marched in Pengcheng. I participated in the General Staff Headquarters once. I think the method of the Marquis Chu is indeed feasible. When we came to Yanjin, I haven't convened the General Staff Headquarters for one reason, that is, Yuan Shao hasn't arrived yet. Even if we have responded, we don't know what Yuan Shao's plan is. If we want to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, we can only wait for Yuan Shao to come. appropriate strategy."

Everyone agreed with Zhou Yu's statement and nodded in agreement.

"Today's court meeting ends here." Zhou Yu said: "If Feng Ji comes, bring him here first. As for when to see him, wait until Zhou Tai returns from Chuhou."

The generals stood up one after another, bid Zhou Yu a retreat, and left his tent.

When the generals had left, Zhou Yu was still standing by the sand table.

Looking down at the sand table, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The small flag on the sand table has already been planted. He actually already had a way to defeat Yuan Shao, but he didn't want to say it in front of the generals.

It's too early, if some generals can't help but make deployments early, Feng Ji will definitely see through it at a glance.

He didn't want his plan to be seen clearly by Feng Ji.

Zhou Yu discussed with the generals how to deal with Fengji, who was about to arrive at Yanjin Ferry at this time.

"Has the person who sent the letter to Zhou Yu come back?" He asked the attendant next to him.

"Not yet." The follower replied: "I should be able to arrive today. If there are no accidents, I should be back at this time."

Just as he was talking, Feng Ji saw a fast horse galloping towards him in the distance.

Seeing the fast horse, he smiled slightly, and said to the entourage beside him, "It should be the people we sent back."

"I don't know if Zhou Yu promised to meet Duke Ming." The entourage replied.

"It must have been agreed." Feng Ji said with a smile: "If he refused to agree, how could it be so easy to let the people we sent come back?
While talking to the entourage, the fast horse got closer and closer.

When he was about to reach Fengji, the knight on horseback lifted the reins.

The horse stopped, and the knight said to Feng Ji: "I will report to Feng Gong, Zhou Gongjin promised to meet, and is waiting on the south bank."

"What did I say?" Feng Ji said proudly to his entourage: "If Zhou Yu refuses to see me, the person he sent will not come back so smoothly, at least he will be beaten up, and then he will come back to pass on the message .”

The attendant lost no time in patting Fengji's horse: "It's still Minggong who sees clearly."

Feng Ji asked the knight who reported the news: "You met Zhou Yu, did he make things difficult?"

"Report to Fenggong." The knight replied: "He didn't make things difficult, he just summoned the generals for a court meeting. After the court meeting, he summoned me and asked me to tell Fenggong that he is waiting on the south bank."

"Since he is willing to see me, I can't let him wait too long." Feng Ji told the followers behind him: "Hurry up, we must arrive at Yanjin Ferry today."

How could the attendants have any objections, they followed Feng Ji and galloped towards the Yanjin Ferry.

When he arrived at the ferry, Feng Ji looked around, and he found that there was not even a boat at the ferry.

"When you went, where did you find the ferry?" Feng Ji asked the knight who had begged Zhou Yu before.

The knight replied: "It was the ferry sent from the other side. They picked me up and then sent me back."

Hearing what he said, Feng Ji nodded.

He already understood that all the ships at Yanjin Ferry were conscripted by Zhou Yu, or it could be said that they were all confiscated by Zhou Yu.

Without ships, Yuan Shao came here, and the army could only stare blankly at the north bank.

"I've heard that Zhou Gongjin is capable, but I didn't expect to manage to get to this situation." Feng Ji smiled slightly and said to his followers: "Go to the shore and call a few times to ask if there is a boat on the other side to take us there. "
