The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 617 616 The Burning Yangtze River (56)

After Zhou Yuncong returned to Xiazhi by boat, he immediately went to Huang Zhong's residence. At this time, Huang Zhong was anxiously waiting for Zhou Yuncong's return.For him, he didn't know if the enemy would have doubts about his surrender this time. Once the enemy had doubts, wouldn't Zhou Yuncong be unable to come back?

When Huang Zhong was fidgeting, Zhou Yuncong suddenly opened the door and walked in. The moment Huang Zhong saw Zhou Yuncong, he felt ecstatic.Because he knew that for Zhou Yuncong's safe return, the enemy must have believed in his surrender.

Huang Zhong couldn't wait to ask: "You are finally back, how about the enemy army, Zhou Yu, Sun Quan, do they believe that I really surrendered?"

Zhou Yuncong nodded first, then shook his head.After Huang Zhong saw it, he muttered, and asked, "Then what do you mean? Nodding for a while, shaking your head for a while..."

"General Huang, to tell you the truth, although Sun Quan and Zhou Yu don't fully believe that the general is sincerely seeking refuge. Therefore, they also asked General Huang to be their internal response and give them Collect information." Zhou Yuncong replied.

After hearing this, Huang Zhong laughed loudly: "Hahaha, if Sun Quan and Zhou Yu really believe it completely, then they probably won't be able to achieve any great things. I just let him not fully believe it and let them still have doubts about me. Attitude, otherwise, how should we act in the next play."

Zhou Yuncong hurriedly asked: "Then dare to ask Old General Huang, how should I answer them?"

"You just say that the old man agrees to their request and is willing to give them an internal response here and pass on important military information. However, even if the old man has the military information, the Han army is heavily guarded here, how can I pass the news to the other side. You explain to them Afterwards, they will naturally tell you how to get in touch with their scouts, so that the old man can find out how many scouts there are and where they are located, and then, they can be wiped out." Huang Loyalty.

"Here!" Zhou Yuncong clasped his fists and said.

Huang Zhong walked up to Zhou Yuncong's side, patted Zhou Yuncong's shoulder lightly, and said earnestly, "Brother Zhou, I will trouble you to go to Jiangdong again. Zhou Yu will definitely be there if you go there this time." If you ask how you can come and go freely between the two armies, you can tell Zhou Yu that you know where we secretly travel between the two places in a place where our defenses are relatively loose. And Zhou Yu will definitely ask you What is this place? When the time comes, you can tell Zhou Yu this place. In this way, the enemy scouts will take this road to travel between the two places, and we can record the faces of these people one by one. Then conduct a rigorous investigation and wipe out the enemy's scout team in one fell swoop."

"Here!"

Zhou Yuncong ate a few casual mouthfuls of food at Huang Zhong's place, then rode on his horse again, headed straight for the river, and crossed the river overnight.

……

It was late at night, and the city of Chaisang was already quiet, but in the hall of the county government, the lights were still on in Zhou Yu’s house, the governor of the navy, and a man holding a book and reading was reflected in the front of the desk. On the window, the shadow swayed with the candlelight, looking so serious.

This figure belonged to Zhou Yu.Ever since the Han army defeated Zhang Fei and beheaded Guan Yu successively, Zhou Yu had a premonition of the coming war. From then on, he began to actively deploy troops for defense and strengthen the training of the navy, in order to meet the coming war at any time .

But more than a month has passed, and the war has never come, but Zhou Yu has not let up in the slightest, and he himself lights up the lamp to read almost every night. Omissions increase your memory.

Sometimes, Zhou Yu would read until two or three o'clock in the morning, sometimes, Zhou Yu would read until he didn't think about eating and drinking, and sometimes, Zhou Yu would even be proficient in reading all night, and the next day during the day, he could still train the army as usual.

For more than a month, Zhou Yu's spirit has been highly concentrated and lack of sleep, but his whole body seems to be pumped with chicken blood, very excited.However, his body is getting thinner day by day.After seeing this situation, Mrs. Zhou, who shared the bed with him, naturally tried her best to dissuade Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu still couldn't listen to it, and still went her own way.

Later, Mrs. Zhou simply let Zhou Yu go, but every night, Mrs. Zhou would bring a bowl of hot soup to comfort her husband's stomach on time during the ugly hour.

Tonight was no exception. Mrs. Zhou cooked a pot of soup, filled three bowls, and waited until the time of Choushi before serving it to Zhou Yu herself.

In the room, Zhou Yu was concentrating on lighting up the lamp to read at night. Mrs. Zhou came to Zhou Yu with three bowls of soup lightly, and said in a soft voice, "Husband, the soup is ready, please drink it."

Zhou Yu habitually picked up the bowl, and drank all the [-] soups. Mrs. Zhou personally prepared these soups for him. She seemed to know that Zhou Yu was impatient, so she cooked them early. The soup was filled out and left there to cool before serving it to Zhou Yu.

Seeing that Zhou Yu finished drinking the soup, Mrs. Zhou quietly took the empty soup bowl and prepared to leave again.However, as soon as she took a step, she heard Zhou Yu's voice from behind: "Ma'am, it has been 36 days, and you have delivered the soup on time at this time every day. My husband really doesn't know what to say." , Thousands of words can be combined into one sentence, thank you! Thank you for taking good care of my husband!"

Madam Zhou turned her head and saw that Zhou Yu had put down the book in her hand, and looked at him gratefully, and Zhou Yu's fiery eyes were full of infinite true feelings.

"It's right to take care of your husband. Between husband and wife, why bother to thank you?" Mrs. Zhou said.

Mrs. Zhou is actually from Shanyue. In order to quell the fighting between the Jiangdong Sun family and Shanyue, Zhou Yu proposed a marriage policy. First, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu each married a daughter of a Shanyue chief, and then It was the relatives and friends of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and then the generals in the army.

Although Mrs. Zhou is from Shanyue, she is different from other Shanyue people. Mrs. Zhou has a high degree of Sinicization and yearns for the culture of the Han Dynasty, so she has been taught by Confucian scholars since she was a child.Therefore, Mrs. Zhou is well-educated, well-mannered, generous, and even smarter than ordinary Han women. She and Zhou Yu can be regarded as talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.

Therefore, even Sun Quan envied Zhou Yu for having such a wife, and when he thought of the Shanyue wife he married, she was simply a shrew.

At this moment, a guard came in from the outside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Zhou was there, and immediately said: "I have seen Mrs. Zhou."

Mrs. Zhou saw that the guards were in a hurry and looked tense, she must have something important to do, and said: "Husband, since you have something important to do, the concubine will not bother you, I just like you, don't stay up late, for fear of hurting your body." ruined."

Zhou Yu nodded, then waved his hand, signaling Mrs. Zhou to leave first, and then shouted at the guard: "Why are you so flustered?"

"Report to the Governor, the envoy named Huang An has returned." The guard replied.

Zhou Yu asked curiously: "What? Why did he come back again? Didn't someone send him back? Did something go wrong?"

The guard said: "No, the man named Huang An claimed to have received Huang Zhong's reply, and was sent again to see the governor."

"So fast?" Zhou Yu was very surprised. How could this man named Huang An go back and forth between the two armies in such a short period of time.

You know, the Han army is heavily guarded, and even his fellow countryman who was the Sima of the scout army was seriously injured when he came back, and died, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of the inspection of the Han army. be able to come back.This guy named Huang An, who just left for a few hours, how could he come back so quickly?
With these questions in mind, Zhou Yu shouted to the guards: "Bring people in!"

"Here!"

Not long after, Zhou Yuncong was brought into Zhou Yu's study, and when he saw Zhou Yu, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "See the Commander."

Seeing that Zhou Yuncong was full of qi and blood, and he didn't suffer any injuries, Zhou Yu asked curiously, "Have you met Old General Huang?"

Zhou Yuncong nodded, and was about to speak, when Zhou Yu suddenly yelled, raised his hand and slapped the table in front of him, looked at Zhou Yuncong with wide-eyed eyes, and said angrily, "Nonsense! The army is heavily guarded, and it only took a few hours for you to go back and forth between the two armies. How could you be able to shuttle back and forth between the two places in such a short period of time? If you can't explain why, then the governor will Take you as a spy, and tear your body into pieces."

Zhou Yuncong hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "The governor, please forgive me, the governor, please forgive me..."

"It's okay to ask for my life, as long as you tell the truth about the ins and outs of the matter, the governor will never make things difficult for you," Zhou Yu said.

Zhou Yuncong said: "I said, I said... the governor, to be honest, the reason why I was able to travel between the two armies so quickly was because I knew that there was a loophole in the defense of the Han army. It is too remote, so there will be a period of time between patrols and shifts, and I can come and go freely between the two places by taking advantage of the time between the two places."

After Zhou Yu finished listening, he immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked: "Oh, what you said is all the truth?"

"Everything I said is true. If the governor doesn't believe it, he can send one or two scouts with me to have a look." Zhou Yuncong said.

Of course Zhou Yu wanted to send someone there immediately, but Zhou Yu held back because he believed that Zhou Yuncong was telling the truth.So, he changed the subject and asked, "What did General Huang send you to do this time?"
