Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 52 Conspiracy and Intrigue

The good wishes of the bridal chamber did not happen in the end.

Da Qiao bumped all the way, and the injuries on his body hadn't healed yet. Liu Gan felt distressed when he saw it, how could he do such a tricky thing.

After getting Da Qiao settled down, Liu Gan hurriedly pulled up an army of [-], known as [-], with Zhou Tai as the vanguard on the left and Tai Shici as the vanguard on the right.

Zhou Yu, the chief of Moling, could not defend the city. While recruiting more strong men to defend the city, he sent someone to send a message to Qu'a for help.

"Is this moling still safe?"

On the city wall of Moling, Zhou Yu gazed into the distance and stood with his hands behind his back. There was always a faint worry entwined between his brows. What he said seemed to be asking the general next to him, and he seemed to be asking himself.

Lu Fan patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said, "Gong Jin, don't overthink it. As the saying goes, people plan things, but God makes things happen. Bo Fu's ability to defeat Liu Yao at the beginning proved that our choice was right. In the end, one Liu Wushuang was missed."

Lu Fan was the earliest follower of Sun Ce, even earlier than Zhou Yu. He helped Sun Ce to run around before Sun Ce made great achievements. At that time, Lu Fan had hundreds of disciples around him, and all of them were entrusted to Sun Ce's command. Later, he successively followed Sun Ce to break the Lujiang River. , defeated Liu Yao, and suddenly became a general commanding thousands of people.

"Ziheng, do you think Bofu's death has anything to do with Liu Gan?" Zhou Yu turned around and asked Lu Fan.

"I don't know, but I know that once Bofu dies, the biggest beneficiary is him. However, Liu Yao and Yuan Shu are also very suspicious. Alas, I can only say that Bofu was too careless. I reminded him before. , It's a pity that he didn't listen to my advice." Lu Fan said with a melancholy expression.

"I asked. There were two assassins that day. One was wearing a white robe and wielded two seven-inch daggers. This man was so skilled in martial arts that even Han Dang was knocked off his horse by one blow. The other was Famous archer, he knocked Bo Fu down with one arrow from a distance, and the person who has this kind of archery in Jiangdong reminds me of a person's name." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

"Who?" Lu Fan asked.

"Tai Shici." Zhou Yu clenched his fists. Tai Shici shot and killed his uncle Zhou Shang. He never forgot this hatred. Therefore, when he heard that Sun Ce died under the hand of a master archer, the first thing Zhou Yu thought of was Tai Shici. Kindness.

"But Liu Gan's general Tai Shici?" Lu Fan frowned.

"It's this person." Zhou Yu said.

"If he really killed Bofu, I will kill him to avenge Bofu!" Lu Fan gritted his teeth.

"This man is now outside the city. He is one of the vanguards in Liu Gan's army. Not to mention his unfathomable martial arts, the 5000 troops under his command alone are not easy to deal with. He is called "Shenjian" by his name. Camp', I heard that all of these [-] people are sharpshooters." Zhou Yu sighed.

"Hey, Liu Gan is an excellent soldier, if Bofu is still here, how can we be afraid of him, but now the Sun family is divided, and Sun Jing and Xu Kun have their own opinions. If we don't think of a way to change the deadlock, I'm afraid something bad will happen. !” Lu Fan said with a worried expression on his face.

"Just like what Ziheng said, it's up to man to make things happen, and God to make things happen. I hope Sun Jing can convince Xu Kun that the only thing we can do now is to stick to the road of Moling City!" Zhou Yu's face gradually became firm. color.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly came to report: "General Qi, there are mobs in the city who are trying to open the west gate to let the enemy into the city!"

Upon hearing the report, Zhou Yu and Lu Fan's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Lu Fan led the troops away in a hurry, and Zhou Yu led a team to patrol the gates of the city to prevent any changes.

Outside Moling City, there is Liu Gan's camp.

"My lord, the strategy of cooperating with the inside and the outside has failed. Moling City is heavily guarded, and our insiders will be suppressed as soon as we make a move."

In the military tent, Liu Gan listened to the report of his subordinates. Although the result was expected, it was still disappointing after it came out.

There is Zhou Yu in Moling City, it is not easy to get it!

On the side, Zhu Huan looked at his words and said, "My lord, Moling is not like Liyang. I'm afraid it won't work if we try to seize the city, but if we attack Moling by force, our army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Now our army only needs to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and cut off the water to encircle the city. Strong support, as time goes on, Moling can go down."

After a pause, he said again: "It's just that it would take too long for this to happen, so I suggest that while our soldiers are besieging Moling, why not send a large army to go deep into Hushu and other places, so that we can regain the lost ground. Secondly, we can stop the reinforcements from Wu County in advance."

Liu Gan nodded and said: "I also have the same intention. Moling is difficult to conquer for a while, and it is easier to attack Hushu and other places first. If the enemy's reinforcements dare to come to support, I will destroy them first! I just don't know which general can do it. Recover the lost land in the north for me?"

Sun Fu said quickly, "Sun is willing to go!"

Liu Gan took a deep look at Sun Fu and said, "Does Guoyi want to destroy relatives righteously?"

Sun Fu respectfully said: "Sun only wants to help the commander-in-chief unify Jiangdong as soon as possible, and has no other plans. Please learn from the commander-in-chief."

Liu Gan said with a smile: "Guoyi has a heart, who else is willing to share the worries and solve the problems for the handsome?"

Wei Yan stood up and said, "Yan Chu came to Jiangdong and was promoted by the commander in an extraordinary manner. I would like to recover the lost land for the commander in return for my kindness!"

Liu Gan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Wei Yan obeys orders."

"Subordinates are here."

"The commander-in-chief sent you three thousand soldiers from the Shenji Battalion to take the three counties of Hushu, Jurong, and Jiangcheng from east to north. Are you confident that you can take them?"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your trust, Wei Yan will serve you to the death!"

"Sun Fu obeys the order."

"Subordinates are here."

"Well, you have a thousand soldiers from the headquarters, and the commander will call you another two thousand soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, a total of 3000 people. From north to east, we will cooperate with Wei Yan to recover the lost land. You two will each lead an army. If there is a war opportunity, Wei Yan will be the one to decide. .”

"Here!"

"Order Zhou Tai and Tai Shici to fortify the walls and clear the fields, cut off the water and besiege the city. No one is allowed to release Moling City!"

"Here!"

……

Piling.

The night is dark and windy, and the stars are dim.

Xu Kun walked back and forth in the study room alone. He had a very uncomfortable life after Sun Ce's death. Sun Jing was aggressive inside, and Gan Ning's army was watching outside. He had to bear everything alone.

"Why, why did you die so early! You short-lived ghost!"

As if stimulated by something, Xu Kun suddenly burst into a rage, slamming the decorations in the study, and yelling while gnashing his teeth.

Such a big movement shocked many people, and there was a cry of a baby from the next door.

When Xu Kun heard the voice, he realized his gaffe. He took two deep breaths and forced himself to calm down slowly.

"Boom, boom, boom!" There was a short knock on the door.

"Come in." Xu Kun said.

The next moment, a woman with outstanding grace pushed the door in. This is a beautiful and elegant woman, her name is Yuan Ji.

"Xiu De, what's wrong with you, why are you so angry?" Yuan Ji's gentle voice reached Xu Kun's ears.

"I'm fine, Shao'er is crying?" Xu Kun took Yuan Ji's little hand and held it tightly.

"He finally fell asleep. You smashed things so loudly, can he stop crying?" Yuan Ji's tone was slightly reproachful.

"It's my fault. Today Sun Jing threatened me to give up supporting Sun Shao, but I didn't agree." Xu Kun said with an ugly face.

"Why didn't you agree? Are you still thinking about that position?" A faint tear flashed in Yuan Ji's beautiful eyes, and she said quietly: "Shao'er is still young, how can you have the heart to let him get into power disputes when he is still in his infancy? We were finally able to be together, can't you give up that idea?"

"Give up, you told me to give up? Do you know what I'm talking about? What have I worked so hard to achieve for so many years! It's absolutely impossible for me to give up now!" Xu Kun gritted his teeth tightly and said coldly: "Didn't they want to give up?" Do you support Sun Quan? If Sun Quan disappears from now on, I wonder how they will support him!"

"What do you want to do, Sun Quan is your cousin, you can't do this!" Yuan Ji's voice trembled.

"What is a cousin who dares to stand in front of me and block my way, even my own brother, I will not let him go!" The murderous intent in Xu Kun's eyes flashed away.

Yuan Ji stared at the most beloved man in front of her, she suddenly felt that the distance between them was so far away, even though he was by her side.
