The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 615 614 The Burning Yangtze River (54)

Zhou Yu laughed, and said, "I never thought that you would have such great abilities at such a young age."

"Of course, I'm a warrior who has killed tigers. Even my lord says I'm a rare general. Governor Zhou, are you convinced?" Ling Tong said.

Zhou Yu laughed and said, "I've been crushed by you, can I still say no? I've seen how powerful you are, so let me go and I'll just keep you."

Ling Tong was overjoyed at the moment, jumped up from Zhou Yu's body, and then pulled Zhou Yu up again, and said to Zhou Yu respectfully: "I offended you just now, please forgive me!"

"If you treat me like this in normal times, it will definitely be a capital offense, but this time it is my fault first, and I shouldn't look down on you, so let's forget it this time, and don't make another example." Zhou Yu said.

As a result, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief, especially Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao, whose heart was raised at this moment, finally fell back.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's guards rushed over from the outside, came to Zhou Yu's side, clasped their fists and said, "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Huang Zhong, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jingzhou Navy, sent an envoy to see him!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu asked in confusion, "Huang Zhong? I have never had anything to do with him. How could he send an envoy to me?"

"Governor, since everyone has come, why not listen to what that person has to say." Zhu Huan said from the side.

Zhou Yu nodded, and asked someone to bring in the envoy sent by Huang Zhong.

Not long after, Zhou Yuncong came in from the outside, but seeing Zhou Yugao sitting at the head of the hall, with several generals sitting on the left and right sides, all eyes were on him.

"Little Huang An sees the Governor of Zhou!" Zhou Yuncong immediately bowed to Zhou Yu respectfully as soon as he entered the door.

Zhou Yu said: "This governor has nothing to do with Huang Zhongsu, and we have never had any contact. What's more, we are now on opposing sides. Huang Zhong sent you here at this time. What's the matter?"

Zhou Yuncong said: "To Governor Zhou, I have a letter written by an adult in my family. The Governor will know it at a glance."

While speaking, Zhou Yuncong took out a letter from his pocket and flashed it in front of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu ordered his guards to go get the letter, and then he took it to read it. When he opened the letter and glanced at it, a trace of joy appeared on his face, because in this letter, it was clearly stated that Huang Zhong To surrender to Jiangdong.

But after a while, Zhou Yu's joy dissipated, and then he threw the letter away, raised his hand, pointed at Zhou Yuncong, and shouted: "Brave maniac, since you dare to tease the governor, come here, take this Arrest them and behead them for public display!"

As soon as the voice fell, a guard rushed over and pushed Zhou Yuncong to the ground. Zhou Yuncong immediately pretended to be greedy for life and feared death, and immediately yelled: "General Governor, if the two armies are at war, if you don't kill them, how can you do this?" Kill me, I'm afraid someone will gossip about the governor, which will be bad for the governor's reputation!"

Zhu Huan also said at the side: "Grand Governor, what this person said is very true. I don't know what he said in the letter to make the Governor so angry?"

Zhou Yu said: "The letter said that Huang Zhong was going to surrender to our army..."

"That's a good thing, why did the governor kill the people sent by Huang Zhong?" Zhu Huan said.

Zhou Yu said: "This Mr. Huang is the commander of the navy, commanding the 13 navy in Jingzhou. He is considered a high-ranking official and rich salary there. How could he surrender to our army for no reason? Isn't this a false surrender?"

Zhou Yuncong hurriedly said: "Great governor, my lord is no longer the captain of the navy. A month ago, Sima Yi, the Pingnan general appointed by King Yan Zhang Yan, inspected the navy camp. Not to mention, I also dismissed my lord. My lord thought that King Yan would give him a head start, but he didn't expect that King Yan would join forces with Sima Yi. When my lord got angry, he didn't want to stay there anymore. After thinking about it, That's why I want to surrender to the governor of Zhou."

Zhou Yu said with a smirk, "Do you think that the governor will believe these lies you told?"

Zhou Yuncong said: "The fact is true. If the governor doesn't believe it, feel free to send someone across the river to find out. If I have half a false statement, I will ask the governor to behead me. I have no complaints."

As soon as Zhou Yuncong finished speaking, a guard hurried over from outside, walked straight to Zhou Yu's side, then bent down, and whispered something in Zhou Yu's ear.

After Zhou Yu finished listening, he squirmed his lips, replied a few words in a low voice, then got up and said: "Everyone wait here for a while, I have something urgent, I will leave for an incense stick, and I will be back in a while. Also, put That person named Huang An is on my watch!"

"Here!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yu turned around and walked towards the back hall, taking three steps in parallel to the back yard.After arriving at the backyard, Zhou Yu suddenly saw more than a dozen guards surrounded by a wall in the backyard. They were holding torches, and a man covered in blood was lying among them, with a broken arrow sticking out of his chest. .

"The governor is here." The guards yelled, and the rest of them stepped aside one after another, while the blood man lying on the ground squirmed a few times and wanted to stand up, but because of his serious injuries, he couldn't do anything. Can't stand up.

"Governor, I..." The blood man wanted to say something, but he coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Zhou Yu hurried over, and didn't dislike the blood on this man's body. He grabbed his hand and comforted him: "Shut up, your injury is not serious. I'll send someone to find a doctor to treat you."

The man shook his head and said, "It's unnecessary, Chief Governor. I'm seriously injured and I'm on the verge of dying. Before I die, I just want to see the Chief Executive and tell him what I found out from the enemy army."

This person is the military commander of the scout army next to Zhou Yu, and also Zhou Yu's fellow villager, so Zhou Yu is very concerned about him.

Zhou Yu saw that the broken arrow was stuck in the man's chest, blood was still bubbling out, and the clothes on his body were already stained with blood. Just imagine, if he was shot by the arrow at the enemy's side, It is already a miracle to be able to persist and come back.Seeing that he had lost a lot of blood, his face was pale, and his speech was weak, Zhou Yu knew that he was not far from death, so he frowned and said, "What news did you find out?"

"All the news is written on this, the governor will know it at a glance!" The man took out a small package from his arms, the package was covered with his blood, and just handed the package to Zhou Yu , the whole person died.

Seeing his death, Zhou Yu felt extremely sad and indignant, but she didn't want to show it. She picked up the package that the man desperately brought back, and said to the guards, "Bury him properly."

"Here!"

Zhou Yu took a torch and opened the package, revealing a booklet. Because it was covered with a layer of tarpaulin, the blood did not infect the booklet. Inside, the scout's army Sima was at the enemy's place. All the information obtained after staying for a month was recorded on it.

In addition to him, there are still more than a hundred scouts hiding in the enemy army, scattered in different places, continuing to collect information for Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu opened the booklet, and under the light of the fire, he carefully read the booklet from beginning to end. When he saw it recorded that Sima Yi rode Huang Zhong's [-]th army stick and dismissed Huang Zhong, then When he did a series of things that aroused the public indignation of the army generals, he felt a little bit of comfort in his heart.

"It seems that the man named Huang An is not lying, everything he said is true." Zhou Yu said to himself, "If Huang Zhong really joins our army, it will undoubtedly be an opportunity for our army. At that time, it is not impossible to cooperate with him from the inside out and defeat the invading enemy."

So, Zhou Yu hid the booklet in his bosom, washed off the blood stains on his hands, and then returned to the hall as if nothing happened.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhou Yu said to Zhu Huan, Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Tong and others present: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. I have a sudden illness and I have to go to see you now. I've called a doctor, and it's all right."

"Madam's illness is very important, Chief Governor, I'll wait for a long time, why not stop here today, tomorrow we will formally go to the military camp to meet the Chief Executive." Zhu Huan said.

Zhou Yu said: "Alright, then I won't send it off, you go slowly!"

After Zhu Huan, Ling Cao, Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Tong and others had all left, Zhou Yu said to the guards, "Put Huang An in the firewood room first. No one can release him without my order."

"Here!"

After a while, Zhou Yu was the only one left in the hall. He had someone bring a map, spread it out on the table, and resting his cheeks, he was thinking hard about how to deal with the enemy.In addition, Zhou Yu also wrote a special letter to inform Sun Quan of Huang Zhong's surrender, and to see what Sun Quan thought.

After finishing all this work, Zhou Yu remembered that Zhou Yuncong was still locked up in the firewood room, so he went straight to the firewood room. After seeing Zhou Yuncong, he asked, "I have already let people investigate clearly what you said in the hall. It can prove that what you said is true. However, I don’t dare to believe that Huang Zhong wants to surrender to our army. Now everyone knows that King Yan Zhang Yan is powerful, so why would he abandon Zhang Yan and join us?”

"My lord said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good day chooses a master. I used to think that King Yan was the wise lord, but it is extremely unfair that my master was punished by Sima Yi and dismissed from office. King Yan not only He didn't make the decision, but ignored my general, such a person is not worthy of my general's life." Zhou Yuncong said.

Zhou Yu said: "It's quite pleasant to say. Huang Zhong is just a grassroots man. If he wants to surrender to our army, what kind of benefits can he bring to our army?"

Zhou Yuncong smiled and said: "My lord said that he knew that the governor of Zhou would ask such a question, so he prepared it early in the morning. He also asked me to tell the governor that although he is no longer the governor of the navy, his connections are still there. I think my general has been in Jingzhou for many years, and now most of the navy is promoted by my general, and my general has also instigated many generals in private, as long as my general makes any move, they will respond immediately, and when the time comes, we will discuss with Zhou Dadu We should cooperate from the inside and the outside, first eliminate the naval army of Commander Sima Yi, then we can give Zhang Yan a painful blow, so that he does not dare to underestimate Jiangdong, and then my general will lead the army to recapture Jingzhou and dedicate it to General Sun in Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu said: "Zhang Yan deployed heavy troops in Jingzhou, how can your general claim that Jingzhou can be captured?"

"My general said that if he can capture Jingzhou, he will definitely be able to capture Jingzhou. If the governor doesn't believe it, then I can't do anything about it. The big deal is that my general will go west to join Liu Zhang. With my general's reputation and prestige in Jingzhou, I believe Liu Zhang I will definitely accept my general." Zhou Yuncong said.

"Yizhou Liu Zhang is an incompetent person. Your general is such a hero. If he goes there, he will have no use for him. Moreover, Yizhou is relatively xenophobic. Besides, your general is a famous figure. If he goes to Yizhou I'm afraid some generals might be worried about your general taking Yizhou."

"So, my general said, first let me go to Jiangdong to have a look. If you don't want to accept my general, my general can only go to Yizhou to protect himself." Zhou Yuncong said.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, then said: "I have already written to my lord, whether to accept your general or not is entirely up to my lord, you just wait here for a few days, and when there is news, I will let you go back, why? Sample?"

"Then I'll bother Governor Zhou, but this doesn't seem like a place to entertain guests..."

"Hehe, this is easy to handle. I will arrange for you to go to the guest room to rest in a while. Please forgive me for neglecting it."
