Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 74 Two Battlefields
"The governor is here!" The high-pitched notification sound of the guard came from the State Shepherd's Mansion in Wu County.For a while, when everyone in the mansion heard these words, they all felt a sense of relief.

"Gongjin!" Sun Quan couldn't help himself and came to the hall to greet Zhou Yu who hurried over from Poyang. "I have met my lord!" Zhou Yu saluted meticulously, and then greeted Zhang Zhao and others one by one before sitting down to discuss matters.

"Gongjin, you know the current situation. The two Lius are attacking Jiangdong fiercely. Now our army is facing enemies from both sides. What's your plan?" After the anxious Sun Quan sat down, he immediately asked straight to the point.Before Zhou Yu could answer, Sun Quan said sadly: "Just now, I came to report that the whole county of Lujiang has defected to Liu Bei. Guoyi, alas!" He did not consume Liu Bei's strength as he expected.

Zhou Yu seemed to have no time to care about Sun Quan's twists and turns, and said directly: "My lord, the Lujiang River is isolated in the north of the river, and it was not easy to garrison it. It doesn't hurt to lose it now. You only need to guard the six counties and Jiaozhou in the east of the river, and then I will be in Soochow." The vitality is still there!"

"Gongjin's words are not bad, the two thieves are attacking menacingly now, I don't know what Gongjin's plan is to defend against the enemy?" Sun Quan also nodded when he heard the words, and then asked.

"Although the second Liu is Xuzhou Liu Bei is more brave and good at fighting, but the Xuzhou army is not good at water warfare. Even if it wins the Lujiang River, it will be difficult for its 6 newly trained navy to do anything on the river. Just in case, Yu stole Thinking that when a naval force is sent in advance to completely defeat the Xuzhou navy, Liu Bei can only look forward to Jiang Xingxing. In addition, Liu Biao's soldiers came in two ways, but Liu Pan's troops invaded Jiaozhou with only [-] troops, and Jiaozhou had young masters Zhuge Ziyu and Zhuge Ziyu garrisoned [-] troops, and it is difficult to do anything. The real concern is Cai Mao's Jingxiang navy and the troops of Kuaiyue who came with him. Therefore, Yu thought that it was only necessary to break the Xuzhou water first. If we block Liu Bei and then concentrate our forces to wipe out Liu Biao's army, Jiangdong will be safe and sound!" Zhou Yu said confidently.If Zhao Feng were here, he would definitely scoff at his confidence. After all, Zhou Yu didn't pay attention to the Huaihe Navy that he worked so hard to build.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on Zhou Yu. Who would value a navy that has only been established for more than a year and has no more than [-] men?

"I'm not talented, I'd like to lead an army of sailors up the river to wipe out the navy of the Huai River!" After listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, all the generals had a better idea, and the current veteran Cheng Pu was the first to ask for a job.Zhou Yu didn't speak directly, but looked at Sun Quan with a questioning look.

Sensing the meaning in Zhou Yu's eyes, Sun Quan also waved his hand and said, "Gongjin, you are far superior to me in terms of military strategy. Right now, Jiangdong is in a crisis. Me!" Having said this, Sun Quan untied the saber from his waist, handed it to Zhou Yu with great care, and said, "This is the ancient ingot saber passed down by my father. Back then, my father and elder brother fought bloody battles with this saber, and it was only then that I laid it down. This piece of foundation. Today I will temporarily borrow this sword to you, if anyone in Jiangdong dare not listen to your order, I will use this sword to kill him!"

"Thank you, my lord, Yu will do my best to live up to the entrustment!" Zhou Yu also took the sword with a serious face, then turned his head and ordered to the generals: "Old General Cheng, I will join you with eight thousand sailors. Going upstream, the Xuzhou navy is bound to be defeated!"

"Great Governor, five thousand sailors are enough for the final general!" Cheng Pu clasped his fists and said proudly, his tone full of confidence.

"You and I will not only defeat the Xuzhou navy, but also completely destroy his water stronghold. I will make Liu Bei's hard work for this year all in vain!" Zhou Yu looked at Cheng Pu, slamming every word explained.

"The end general understands!" Seeing that this young man who was not too convinced suddenly had the bearing of a commander, Cheng Pu accepted the order awe-inspiringly.

"Tai Shici, you lead your troops to guard Niuzhu; Jiang Qin, you lead your troops to guard the three mountains. If the Xuzhou army wants to cross the river, they must go to these two ports or Hulin. If there is any change in the Xuzhou army, immediately go to Hulin General He Qi echoed each other, and must ensure that no Xuzhou sergeant will be allowed to cross the river!" Zhou Yu continued to order.

"The last general obeys orders!" Tai Shici and Jiang Qin also agreed loudly.

"My lord, there are still General Shu Bi and Mr. Yuan Tan stationed in Danyang. The threat from Liu Bei on the North Road has eased. Yu should go to Poyang to block Liu Biao!" Zhou Yu turned and said to Sun Quan after finishing all these arrangements.

"Gongjin has nothing to do!" Sun Quan also waved his hand generously, signaling him to do everything cheaply.At this moment, a small school ran into the hall panting, out of breath, and said: "Master, the big thing is not good, Kuaiji County Prime Minister Sheng Xian gathered a crowd to rebel, and now Kuaiji City has been occupied!"

"Wow!" Everyone in the hall was in an uproar when they heard the news. The news was so shocking that even Zhou Yu and Sun Quan's expressions changed slightly.

Not to mention the turmoil in Wujun City at this time, and Guandu thousands of miles away, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been confronting each other for almost two months, from summer to late autumn.Since the beginning of that battle, Cao Cao clearly refused to fight Yuan Shao in the field, and changed to not holding out.No matter how provocative Yuan Shao is, he will not confront you head-on.In addition, Xu Huang and Cao Ren always harass Yuan Shao's grain road from time to time.Although it was the general Han Meng who escorted the grain and grass, he kept in mind the teachings of Ju Shou and Tian Feng, and was extra careful when escorting the grain and grass.But as the saying goes, there is still a gap in the hundred secrets, not to mention that although Han Meng is fierce, he is inferior to Xu Huang and Cao Ren, so the food road is not particularly smooth.

But then Yuan Shao's advisor came up with a cruel idea: You Cao Cao insisted on not fighting, so I will build a mound opposite you and send more crossbowmen on it.As long as you show your head, I will shoot out with random arrows.Anyway, the Hebei army has a strong capital and no shortage of crossbow arrows, so they can shoot whatever they want now.This simple and rude method was very appetizing to Yuan Shao, so he immediately ordered people to do it according to the plan, dispatched [-] crossbowmen, and changed shifts day and night to keep an eye on Cao Jun's camp.Whenever the sentinels in charge of observing the enemy's situation noticed any abnormalities, they immediately knocked on the clapper as a sign, and then the sky was full of arrows.

After doing this for a few days, Cao Cao's life suddenly became difficult. Both the officers and soldiers were forced to stay in the tents when they had nothing to do. Even when they went out to eat and fetch water, they had to change shifts and use big shields to protect them before they dared to move.Although you can't walk around in the barracks casually, you won't be forced to be completely immobile like you are now!Now the momentum of the Yanzhou army was greatly reduced.

"Bang!" At this moment, there was another sound of clappers reaching Cao Cao's ears in the camp, and then there was the sound of shooting arrows.Cao Cao also looked helpless: This Yuan Shao is now bullying others nakedly relying on his own wealth!At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and several shield soldiers came to Cao Cao's camp to protect the counselor Liu Ye.

"What's the matter with Zi Yang?" Cao Cao asked quickly, knowing that Liu Ye would not be fine, so mobilizing all the people to come to him.

"My lord, Ye just thought of something, which may be able to break Yuan Shao's rain of arrows!" Liu Ye took out a piece of silk with many patterns drawn from his bosom, and spread it out for Cao Cao to take a closer look.

"Thunderbolt car?" Seeing the three most eye-catching characters on the silk script, Cao Cao couldn't help chanting.
