Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 349 Thunder on the Ground

It was another spring rain at the beginning of the year, the wind was cold, the swallows returned to their nests, and Liu Yu and Zhang Wenwu gathered together.

Outside the hall, dark clouds rolled, and wind and thunder burst; inside the hall, the lights were brightly lit, and heat waves hit our faces.Liu Yuduan sat at the table, with the military general on the left and the civil servant on the right, as if the emperor would gather his ministers.

"Yuanzhi, Zijing, Ziyang, what do you think of Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang this time?"

Liu Yu knelt on top of the chairman, his waist was as straight as a sword, and his eyes were like eagle eyes looking at Xu Shu and the other three.Those eyes seemed to emit light, and Xu Shu and the other three who looked straight at him froze in their hearts.

Speaking of Zi Yang, that is, Liu Ye, there is something to be said.At the beginning, Liu Yu detained him in disguise, but it made him furious. Although he gradually calmed down later, there was some estrangement in his heart.It is precisely because of this that Lu Su's letter failed to persuade him, and even Liu Yu's letter failed to persuade him.

Later, it was Liu Yu who staged three visits to the thatched cottage, which moved Liu Ye and made him join Liu Yu wholeheartedly.Speaking of visiting the thatched cottage three times, Liu Yu really couldn't help but smile, because this incident actually brought Liu Yu a huge reputation.

In the Jianghuai area, and even in the Central Plains, all the scribes are extolling Liu Yu's love for talents. Gein's three visits to thatched cottages can be compared with Zhou Gong's three spit feedings.In history, the thing of visiting thatched cottage three times is also enduring.

After this incident, the number of talents who turned to Liu Yu increased a lot.

As for what Liu Yu said about Cao Cao's attack on Nanyang, it was the news sent by the scouts today.As soon as the news arrived, Liu Yu immediately summoned Zhang Wenwu.

Let's talk about Liu Yu's question, which made Xu Shu, Lu Su, and Liu Ye fall into deep thought.But within a moment, all three of them raised their heads, looking eager to try.In fact, they had already thought about it in private, and it was just organizing language just now.

Liu Ye was the first to get up. He had been relying on Liu Yu for a long time, but he hadn't made any great achievements so far, so he was naturally a little uncomfortable.So, at this moment, he got up in a hurry and said loudly: "Young master, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Nanyang last autumn. Because of the rescue of the young master and Zhang Xiu's persistence, he finally returned without success. But this time, Cao Cao can be seen from the scale of his troops. Ye secretly thinks that it is not appropriate to fight recklessly."

Speaking of this, Liu Ye paused for a moment, and then said: "With Cao Cao's treachery, he will never fail to guard against the young master, so Ye expected that he might persuade Sun Ce to restrain the young master. Besides, Ye expected When Cao Cao released the news, there must be an intention to force Zhang Xiu to surrender, and it is very likely that Zhang Xiu will surrender."

Liu Ye didn't analyze much, but every point he said was important, such as Sun Ce's attack, Zhang Xiu's surrender and so on.Just imagine if Sun Ce really attacked and Zhang Xiu surrendered, wouldn't Liu Yu be caught in a double attack?
Speaking of Cao Cao's attack on Zhang Xiu, we have to start from the autumn of the second year of Jian'an.At that time, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Zhang Xiu once, and Zhang Xiu also sent someone to ask Liu Yu for help, and reiterated the alliance between the two parties.Because of Liu Yu's intervention, the battle was short, and Cao Cao quickly withdrew.

But in fact, this battle was just a foreshadowing. Liu Yu recalled the history and knew that in March next year, that is to say, Cao Cao would attack Zhang Xiu now and force Zhang Xiu to surrender.How could Liu Yu allow such a thing, so he had already started preparing.

"Zi Yang is right, so our first point is to prevent Zhang Xiu from surrendering. As for Sun Ce, haha, Yuan Zhi, you and I, two generals, Ziyi and Xingba, do you dare to refuse Sun Ce to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Xu Shu had become calm and introverted recently, but at this moment, he stood up suddenly, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, showing its sharpness.

"My son entrusted me, how dare I refuse to obey. As for Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers, I have already thought about it for a while. Now with the help of two generals, Lujiang will have no worries!"

All the monarchs and ministers were as imposing as a rainbow, and the blood of all the people present watching directly was boiling, wishing they could rush to the battlefield immediately.

Lu Su was a steady man, but at this moment he couldn't help standing up, and said with a look of pride: "Young master, Yuan Zhi and Zi Yang both have schemes, so how can Su fall behind? Since the young master said to use tricks to force Zhang Xiu not to surrender , then let Su come up with this plan."

When Liu Yu heard what Lu Su said, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Since Zijing has a plan, why don't you tell me quickly."

"This plan is easy. The young master writes a letter to Cao Cao to plead for Zhang Xiu, and then he will surely get a reply from Cao Cao. At that time, if the young master slightly alters and smears it, and accidentally makes it captured by Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu will not surrender. "Lu Sufeng's spirit is unrestrained and unrestrained, like a gentleman's honesty, but it can be done by talking and laughing.

When Liu Yu heard the plan, he couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "What a Lu Zijing, what a plan to divorce."

The people in the hall are all confidants and will never leak secrets, so Liu Yu just spoke directly.

After listening to Liu Yu's words, everyone understood and was puzzled, and they all asked, "My lord, how is this a divorce?"

"Haha, you don't need to ask too many questions, just watch Zijing's display." Liu Yu smiled strangely, without answering, and directly asked everyone to look at Lu Su's display.

After Lu Su made a plan, he sat back on the table again.And the others didn't ask about the divorce plan anymore, because the main event is coming, Liu Yu wants to - it's about time!

For the generals who like war, the peace for more than a year has made them very painful.Although there was a battle last fall, it was too small and too short, even the generals who participated in the battle didn't have a good time, let alone the others.

Ever since, the generals who realized that the war was approaching, their eyes were already shining, and their whole bodies were trembling with excitement.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yu's mouth, but it was quickly covered up by coldness.

"Xu Chu listened to the order, I will be with you three thousand Mo Daowei, and you and I will open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water."

Hearing Liu Yu's stern voice, Xu Chu was overjoyed, isn't this a pioneer?

"No, the general will obey the order!"

When everyone saw Xu Chu come out to receive the order, they couldn't help being jealous.This is a pioneer, the first one to fight, can everyone not be jealous?But it was useless to be jealous, after all, it already belonged to Xu Chu, so they looked at Liu Yu expectantly.

Liu Yu didn't keep them waiting, and said directly and solemnly: "Zhou Cang, Xia Houlan, and Wei Yan are accompanying, Lu Su is the military advisor, and Liu Ye and Du Ji are in Shouchun to support them. In addition, adjust the height of Meng to guard Pingchun, and the other generals will Each of them guards the same place. In addition, let Xu Shu go to Lujiang, and command Tai Shici and Gan Ning to control the east of the river."

With this order, everyone immediately stood up and shouted in unison.That momentum, like raging waves, like a storm under a storm.

"Everyone, this battle is about life and death, about glory, and about who dominates Jianghuai. Therefore, I will do my best to let the world know how powerful I am. Tell me, do you dare?"

"Dare, dare, dare!"

"Dare, dare, why not dare?"

At this time, everyone is in high spirits, looking forward to the next war.

This is the first time they have taken the initiative to attack!
