Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 790 The Most Suitable Place

The cool setting sun leaked from the window panes, covering Zhou Yu's slightly pale face. He is a general who gallops in all directions, but at this moment he looks like a lonely singer, wearing a coat embroidered with flying squirrels and dragons. Lightly scattered on the back; Zhou Yu bent one hand, put it on his knee, held the wine glass, held the window with the other hand, bent his middle finger, and tapped on the edge of the window lightly, as if humming a song from afar, humming and laughing, People can't understand.

At this time, Zhou Yu was already in Moling.After the first battle in Kuaiji, he repelled the attack of Jiaozhou scholars, subdued half of the barbarians in South Vietnam, and rushed north to Moling to help in the battle.After all, Cao Mengde and Guo Fengxiao are a rare combination of talents in this era. When Zhou Yu arrived here, it was already too late—Xu Sheng was still defeated by Cao Jun in Hongze Lake.

That's right, the military general who pretended to be Zhou Yu at the front was Xu Sheng who had accompanied Sun Ce to crusade against Jiangxia Huangzu.Among Jiangdong's new generation of generals, Zhou Yu weighed carefully and selected Xu Sheng from among Ling Cao, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin.Zhou Yu thought that Xu Shengdun was loyal, brave, and quite strategic, and he was somewhat similar to himself.

It's a pity that Xu Sheng is still too young at this time, and he has never had the experience of coordinating the overall situation. Facing Cao Mengde and Guo Fengxiao's step by step, he is still too inferior.In the end, he was defeated and was heavily blocked by Cao Jun in Hongze Lake.

But can Zhou Yu blame Xu Sheng?

Not at all.

Originally, the planner of this plan was Zhou Yu, and he was absolutely responsible for the failure.Not to mention, the plans of Cao Mengde and Guo Fengxiao are so seamless.

In the eyes of those second-rate strategists, Xu Sheng is simply the stupidest general of the year. He could withdraw his troops to protect Jiangdong, but he chose to take the initiative to attack out of his own strength.However, when Zhou Yu reviewed all the battles on the front line, he realized that Cao Mengde and Guo Fengxiao were really masters of attacking the mind. Their step-by-step planning was methodical, and they completely deceived everyone in the game.

Even Zhou Yu had to admit that if he had been the commander-in-chief at the front, he might not have given up his decision to solve Cao Jun once and for all.

Moreover, judging from those battle reports, Cao Mengde and Guo Fengxiao seemed to know that they were not on the front line at all—and it was because Xu Sheng also had his own guards in the rear that intensified his determination to take the initiative to go north.

"Gong Jin, the front line, the battle report from the front line has been sent..." Zhuge Jin looked at Zhou Yu's profile with difficulty. At this moment, he couldn't bear to hand over the tragic battle report in his hand to such a beautiful person: "General Xu has Zhigong won a big victory on the Jinnan line, and he tried his best to break through the siege and wanted to return to the Yangtze River to join us. However, Cao's army was besieged and killed, and General Xu, in order to protect the army, fought to the death without retreating, and died with dozens of wounds in his body. There is also Han Dang, the veteran general who was shot with arrows, and Zhu Zhi, who was still shouting to break through before his death... More than one out of ten of the [-] troops finally escaped from Hongze Lake."

After Zhuge Jin said these words, it was obvious that Zhou Yu's pale face became more transparent, and his eyes also seemed to flash a little misty.

In the mist, Zhou Yu seemed to see tens of thousands of Jiang Dongerlang shouting and fighting with several times the enemy troops in blood.The sharp arrow clusters pierced into their flesh and blood, and then they were shredded by steel knives and spears. The blood flowed in Hongze Lake, making the lake gradually turn red during that battle.

And the young and heroic general Xu Sheng stood in front of the turbulent Cao Jun like a stubborn stone in Jiangdong.And in front of him, Jiangdong tiger generals wept farewell with tears in their eyes, only protecting Cheng Pu, the most prestigious and able to understand the overall situation, leading the army to break through...

This scene passed Zhou Yu's eyes in a hurry, but Zhou Yu couldn't help coughing suddenly, as if he was about to cough up blood.

"Gongjin!" Zhugejin stepped forward anxiously, eager to call for medical attention.

But at this moment, he was suddenly held tightly by a hand, and then he saw Zhou Yu's distorted face due to pain and self-blame.Zhou Yu's speech was still clear and slow, but Zhuge Jin was terrified in his tone: "Ziyu, do you want revenge?"

For a while, Zhuge Jin didn't seem to hear what Zhou Yu was saying, and was speechless.

"Ziyu, do you want to take revenge? Do you want to kill Cao Cao's [-] enemy troops, avenge me and Jiangdong Erlang, and General Sun?" Seeing that Zhuge Jin didn't answer, Zhou Yu asked again.His tone was no longer so cold, but it made Zhuge Jin even more horrified.

"I, I..." Zhuge Jin was completely frightened by Zhou Yu at this moment, and he said, "But we don't have many troops anymore. Although those South Vietnamese barbarians are not afraid of death, they are rough and dare to fight. But they But they don't understand military discipline at all, let alone obey discipline, even if Gong Jin is in command, they may not be able to defeat Cao Jun."

"Who said I'm going to rely on them to defeat Cao Jun?" Zhou Yu laughed suddenly at this moment, with a sad and bleak smile: "What's more, they can't defeat Cao Cao at all!"

After saying this, Zhou Yu suddenly took out a small copper pot from the desk by the window.At first Zhuge Jin didn't pay attention to the copper pot at all, thinking it was just a censer for incense, but when he took a closer look at it, he found that the copper pot was very rough, which was incompatible with Zhou Yu's elegant personality.The occasional rustling sound from the pot was like ants crawling over and over again, making one's back sweat.

Just when Zhuge Jin was puzzled, Zhou Yu suddenly opened the copper pot, and an extremely foul smell rushed into Zhuge Jin's nostrils, making him feel sick immediately.And when Zhuge Jin just caught sight of the contents in the pot, his face turned pale instantly, and he immediately lay down on the ground and vomited: "Gong, Gongjin... this, this is?..."

"This is a Gu worm." Zhou Yu closed the lid lightly, his pale face darkened under the setting sun, which made his tone dark and strange: "This is when I conquered the Wuxi barbarians, I used severe torture methods to get rid of them." A barbarian priest got it from an old man. This kind of Gu put together several kinds of poisonous insects that are the most poisonous in the world, and fed them with secret methods. Fighting, the final result is this poisonous Gu worm..."

Zhuge Jin had long heard that those barbarians were good at using evil spells to poison people, but he didn't expect it to be true.Especially when he heard Zhou Yu's introduction of the refining method of this Gu poison, he was even more frightened and uneasy, even looking at the copper pot, he felt shocking: "Gongjin, you, what do you want to do?"

"Of course it's to avenge me, Jiang Dongerlang, and General Sun!" Zhou Yu leisurely picked up the copper pot, scaring Zhuge Jin into taking two steps back.But Zhou Yu didn't seem to realize it, and still said to himself: "I only need to put on the posture of a decisive battle with Cao Jun, but secretly throw this poisonous poison into Hongze Lake. It will become a dangerous place in less than ten days." , Cao Jun only needs to stay there for three days, drink the invisible poisonous Gu water, and then implant the seeds of the patient into the body. Then the Gu insects will multiply in the body at a speed of ten times or a hundred times ..."

"Who cares about whether the water you drink is boiled during the expedition? Who is interested in staring at the specks in the water without drinking? Of course, this method is still too slow to take effect. In my opinion, it is the most suitable method. The place for this method is Yunmengze, north of Chibi in Jiangxia, where the clouds and mists are steaming, which is most suitable for the breeding of this Gu insect..."

Zhou Yu stared at the copper pot, just like staring at his favorite Yao Qin or his beloved Xiao Qiao, with cherished and admiring eyes, but with a trace of regret: "It's a pity, I don't have that chance in this life. Otherwise, Chibi belongs to me, and history also belongs to me..."

"Then, then, once this kind of Gu poison spreads, will the whole Jiangdong be buried with it?!" Zhuge Jin's mind was already blank at this time, he was frightened by Zhou Yu's crazy and terrible plan, and his mind The only trace of clarity left is the thousands of innocent people.

"Of course. However, this poison is not insoluble. As long as the corpses of Cao Jun are burned, the poison will not spread to Jiangdong." Zhou Yu looked out the window, looking at the tall rocks, Looking at the gray ground in the distance on the steep rock wall, he said slowly: "So, for this battle, I still need a big fire..."

"What you need is sobriety!" Zhuge Jin suddenly went crazy, snatched the copper pot from Zhou Yu's hand regardless of his own life, and quickly searched for the fire source in the house.However, in the midsummer season, how can there be half a star in this house?

For a while, Zhuge Jin was afraid that Zhou Yu would come to snatch it again, so he ignored his appearance, squatted on the ground to protect the copper pot in his arms, and shouted at Zhou Yu: "This chaotic world has been turbulent for many years, and there are not enough people dead? If you dare to do this, even though I am no match for you, I will still splash your blood!"

Zhou Yu stared blankly at the startled Zhuge Jin, his gaze was cold and dangerous.But Zhuge Jin, who has always been a gentle and elegant counselor, was unafraid, clearly determined to do what he said.And when Zhou Yu understood Zhuge Jin's will to die, he suddenly laughed, picked up the glass of wine from the case table, and drank it all in one gulp: "It seems that this kind of poisonous talk can really scare people. In this way, I can use this method to make the lord vote for the Han Dynasty..."

"What, what?" Zhuge Jin was full of doubts, and did not let go of the copper pot easily, but asked in a daze: "Mr.
