Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 497 Someone Behind
Xun Yu said: "We have already discussed it, so let's ignore it for now. Sun Quan is more anxious than us, and we will see what Sun Quan does before we respond."

"Hmm, same as I thought."

Cheng Yu said: "My lord, Zhou Weiguo of Xuzhou sent Wang Can to Xudu for half a month, saying that he wanted to return Hua Tuo's body."

Cao Cao frowned, "Give it to him. Zhou Weiguo really cares about face."

"Not only that, the spies came to report that Zhou Weiguo increased his troops in Xiapi and Pengcheng, each with 2 troops."

"There are such things." Cao Cao asked after thinking for a while: "Is Zhou Weiguo's move a demonstration or pressure? Could it be that he is afraid that I will not return Hua Tuo's body?"

Cheng Yu said: "I have always been worried that he would take advantage of our army's defeat to attack Xudu, but the lord has already returned to Xudu, and it is really puzzling that he is still like this. After thinking about it, I think Maybe he was worried that the lord would send troops to Xuzhou, so he built the embankment, but there was a lot of noise, I asked Wang Can, and he just said he didn't know, but it was indeed after he came to Xudu that the two places began to increase troops."

In fact, Cheng Yu felt that there was another possibility, that Zhou Cang was afraid that Cao Cao would detain Wang Can again.

Chang Shi Chen Qun suddenly said: "Could it be that Master Cangshu's death has something to do with Zhou Weiguo? He has a guilty conscience..."

Cao Cao's face darkened: "I may believe others, but Zhou Weiguo will never." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Chen Qun meaningfully, then glanced at the crowd, and said sharply: "From now on, you must not mention Cang Shu again. Death, those who disobey the order will be beheaded! You all retreat."

After the crowd dispersed, Cao Cao slightly closed his eyes, recalling everyone's expressions and gestures.Why did Chen Qun say that?One thing is certain, there must be someone behind Chen Qun, but Chen Qun was put in the front, and this person or these people were hiding behind the scenes. "Wang Bi, check in secret, who is Chen Qun close to, check slowly, don't show your feet."

Sun Quan failed to attack Hefei for [-] consecutive days. Jiang Ji scattered all his wealth in Yangzhou to recruit young and strong men, and defended the city day and night.Lu Su arrived in Hefei and reported to Sun Quan. Zhou Yu shot an arrow in front of the battle and took Jiang Ling. And presented Sun Quan's sword.

Hearing that Zhou Yu was injured, Sun Quan was surprised and sent people back to Jiangdong to call a good doctor to treat Zhou Yu.But he was even more anxious. Jingzhou was taken so quickly, and he had worked so hard in Hefei to no avail.

Several parts of the Hefei city wall have collapsed, but Jiang Ji prepared a large number of straw mats to cover the end walls. As long as Jiangdong soldiers attack from now on, the straw mats will be set ablaze. , all of this depends on the early preparations of the predecessor, the late governor Liu Fu.

Tens of days later, Sun Quan gradually lost his patience and sent Lu Meng to Hefei to help in the battle. However, the spies reported that they believed that the governor, Wen Huo, was about to take office, and Zhang Liao and other three generals had already rushed to Hefei.Feeling that the siege was hopeless, Sun Quan sighed and ordered the army to retreat.

On the way to retreat, Lu Meng told Sun Quan that Liu Bei had stolen the four counties in southern Jing and asked Liu Qi to be the governor of Jingzhou. Sun Quan was furious. Liu Qi was a card he wanted to master, but Liu Bei played it out. Dayton reprimanded. "Gongjin's injury should be fully healed. Go to Chai Sang and pass on my order to order Gongjin to lead the army to attack Liu Bei. If he can't go, I will lead the army myself."

"My lord, I have formed an alliance with Liu Bei. How can I attack each other? Isn't that a breach of trust? Although Cao Cao was defeated, he was always spying on me in Jiangdong. I fought with Liu Bei, and Cao Cao led his troops south again. What should I do? it is good?"

"If you want to talk about breaking your promise, it is because Liu Bei broke his promise first. How can he dare to declare that Liu Qi is the lord of Jingzhou? The fire in Chibi, Cao Jun has already lost his nerve, and he will not go south so soon. It is a great opportunity for me to recover Jingnan. Liu Bei stole In the four counties, the army is full of righteous indignation, if Liu Bei is not punished, how will the anger be appeased!"

Alas, Lu Su sighed, the anger of the public is not a matter of the lord's words. Is this sending troops to Hefei to vent his anger on Liu Bei?
Sun Quan not only vented his anger on Liu Bei, but also wanted to appease the turbulent hearts of the soldiers and consolidate his prestige.In the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao led the army himself, but he sent Zhou Yu himself. This comparison is a failure. He sent troops to Hefei to save face. Unexpectedly, he showed his butt without showing his face. How could Sun Quan be willing to be reconciled.

"My lord sent me to Chai Sang." Lu Su said helplessly, "It's just that my lord is not in a hurry to use troops. Why don't you send someone to Wuling to question Liu Bei first. Chen said it was so powerful that he gave up on this idea."

"Well, fuck you." Sun Quan pondered for a moment, determined to snatch Liu Qi away from Liu Bei and control it by himself. "I ordered Zhuge Ziyu to go to Wuling. Liu Qi can be the governor of Jingzhou, but the others must go to Xiangyang." Then he said to Lu Meng: "Ziming, you go back to Jiangling immediately, Cheng Pu and Tai Shici guard Xiangyang, Zhu Huan and Zhu Ran gathered at Jiangling."

Lu Su saw that he had no intention of talking, so he rushed to Chaisang by fast boat.There is no need to report to Zhou Yu's mansion. When you come to the hall, there are several plum blossoms planted in the courtyard, and they are in full bloom.He only heard the sound of dust-off piano coming from inside, and Lu Su stopped to listen.

"The timbre suddenly changed. Could it be that someone is eavesdropping?" The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and only Zhou Yu's hearty laughter was heard, "The person who came to my house without notification must be Zijing."

While speaking, Zhou Yu came out to greet her, and Xiao Qiao retreated into the inner hall holding the piano.

"Gongjin, I haven't seen you in two months, but you look pretty good already."

"Hehe, I am able to move around, but occasionally I still have some dull pain, please come inside."

Zhou Yu poured a cup of tea for Lu Su. "This is controlled by Xuzhou Zhou Weiguo. It's not a good taste."

Lu Su picked it up and put it down again, "Seeing that Gongjin is so comfortable, I really shouldn't disturb him. It's just... alas!" Sighing, he picked up the tea and drank it down like drinking wine.

"What's bothering Zijing so much, let me tell you." Zhou Yu poured another glass for Lu Su.

"Attacking Hefei is not going well. Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to rescue him. My lord has already retreated."

Zhou Yu picked up the cup and took a sip, "My lord must have other plans."

"Exactly. My lord heard that Liu Bei had recommended Liu Qi as the governor of Jingzhou. He was very angry and ordered Gong Jin to march against him. I persuaded him a lot, and my lord finally agreed to send Zhuge Ziyu to question Liu Bei, and said that if he wanted Liu Qi to be the governor of Jingzhou. Go to Xiangyang. And let me visit Gongjin, if Gongjin is unwell, he wants to personally lead the army to attack Liu Bei."

Alas, Zhou Yu put down the cup, and he could predict the conditions offered by Sun Quan, and Liu Bei would never agree.It can also be predicted that after defeating Cao Cao, everyone in Jiangdong is a little proud and complacent. If Sun Quan leads the army, he will undoubtedly lose.
