Langye is the granary of Xuzhou.

If Langye can be captured before the autumn harvest, the Han army will no longer be able to make any trouble, and the entire war situation will completely shift towards Chu.

Zhou Yu personally led 10,000 elite soldiers northward along the seaport, and silently attacked Xu Han's Towu Port. There were only 500 defenders at Towu Port, and despite Zhou Yu's careful planning, no one escaped.

Afterwards, the Chu army immediately blocked the road and cut off the news.

Standing on a high balcony, the sea breeze blowing behind him scattered Zhou Yu's hair. In his eyes, the setting sun was sinking into the mountains little by little.

This surprise attack was perfect, but the melancholy on Zhou Yu's brow did not seem to fade at all. He deeply understood that this was an adventure.

What is adventure?

This definition is different for everyone, especially for the commander-in-chief, and its meaning will become more complicated and ambiguous.

The only thing that can evaluate a commander is the result of the battle. If he wins, taking a risk is a clever plan; if he loses, taking a risk is reckless. There is nothing unfair about this, because a decision of the commander is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and some of them don't want to

Even if I die, I don't want to take the risk.

"Gong Jin, when can we start the war?"

"Didn't we already start a war?"

After hearing Zhou Yu's answer, Gan Ning sneered.

"A surprise attack on a port with only 500 defenders by tens of thousands of elites is called a war? It's not enough to bite the bullet. You have to know that our soldiers fought all the way back to Jiangdong from the Xuzhou battlefield. We died along the way.

How many brothers have we killed? Once we set foot on this land, the brothers' anger can no longer be suppressed. What they long for is to fight with the Xu Han army and wash away their hatred and shame with blood!"

"Xingba, Zilong, tell me honestly, are the soldiers under your command afraid of death?"

Zhou Yu's irrelevant questions surprised Gan Ning and Zhao Yun and made them laugh.

"No one is not afraid of death."

Gan Ning touched his beard, gently pressed his hands on the wooden fence in front of him, looked at the sunset, and then turned to Zhou Yu and said.

"But soldiers have to face death every day from the moment they step onto the battlefield. I can't guarantee other people's teams, but everyone in my Jinfan Army can die for the Chu Kingdom!"

It’s not that you’re not afraid of death, it’s that you can die for it.

Zhao Yun looked at Gan Ning with concern, nodded, and said with clasped fists.

"Where righteousness comes, life and death follow it! The sky can tell you, and the white horse is the proof! White horse righteousness, from Zhao Yun to ordinary soldiers, can all die for the Chu Kingdom!"

The two men spoke conclusively and resoundingly, which made Zhou Yu seem to have finally made up his mind. The melancholy on his brows disappeared. A dazzling light appeared in his eyes and he spoke sternly.

"Okay! Remember what you said today. Let the soldiers take time to rest. Our army will set off after midnight."

??????

After several days of attacks, Zhou Yu clearly felt that the Han army had discovered their presence.

One of the important reasons is that the small county towns captured during this period could always find enough food and grass in the treasury to last the army for a day and a half, but the small county town captured today could no longer find a grain of food.

In this case, the food and grass carried by the army would be enough for eight days. Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

"Reporting to the military advisor, I discovered that Xu Han General Zhang Fei was leading 10,000 troops to pursue our army, which is about two days' journey from here."

"Approximately where is it? Mark it for me."

At Zhou Yu's signal, the scout walked to Zhou Yu and made a mark on the map.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's expression turned a little joyful.

"Okay, okay, the hunter finally came out of the cave. Pass the order, ignore Zhang Fei's troops, continue to advance towards Shimen Town, capture Shimen and go straight to Langxie."

"yes!"

The soldiers hurriedly went down to deliver the order, and the army accelerated towards Shimen Town.

During the subsequent march, Zhao Yun's troops discovered Zhou Cang's troops who had set up an ambush. Seeing that the ambush failed, Zhou Cang dared to face Zhao Yun's cavalry directly, and hurriedly ordered to return to Shimen Town. Zhao Yun's pursuit resulted in thousands of casualties.

Only then were the soldiers and horses able to return to the city.

Just as Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, who arrived later, were preparing the siege equipment to attack Shimen Town, Zhou Yu issued an order to retreat.

This order almost caused the Chu army to explode!

"Military advisor, why haven't you attacked yet? The town of Shimen is low and the pond is shallow, and the soldiers have been holding their breath for a long time. Now their morale is like a rainbow, and their military morale is ready. Yun dares to guarantee with his head that he will be able to break through Shimen before Zhang Fei's troops arrive.

town!"

Zhao Yun patted the table and questioned Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu only said softly.

"I changed my mind."

Changed my mind!

How can military orders be changed overnight?

What's more, the army has now penetrated deep into the hinterland of Xuzhou, can it still retreat back the same way?

Zhao Yun and Gan Ning stared at Zhou Yu with wide eyes and listened to his explanation.

"Zhou Cang's interception here shows that Zhuge Liang has seen through my plan to surprise Langxie. This plan has lost its meaning. After breaking through the Shimen, there will be new enemies standing in front of us. This will become one battle after another.

A siege battle."

"So, I changed my mind. I won't attack Langxie. I want to annihilate Zhuge Liang's main army!"

At this time, Zhao Yun and Gan Ning were stunned again.

Annihilate Zhuge Liang's main army?

They have indeed determined the location of Zhang Fei and Zhou Cang's 20,000 troops, but they still don't know where Zhuge Liang's remaining troops are. Besides, Zhuge Liang still has 10,000 troops, 20,000, or more.

, this is also an unknown number.

So, Zhou Yu still dared to make such wild remarks.

"There is a sudden change of tactics, military advisor, are you sure that Zhuge Liang will fall into our trap?"

Zhou Yu sat there quietly, raised his eyes and glanced around the two of them.

"I don't need Zhuge Liang to fall into my trap, as long as I fall into his trap."

Zhao Yun took a breath of cold air.

Sneaking into the trap set by others will naturally make the enemy appear, and save the search step. But when the number of enemy troops is unknown, how can you win if you give the opponent all the favorable conditions of time and place?

This is obviously self-destruction!

"I have asked you before, are your soldiers afraid of death?"

Zhou Yu stared closely into Zhao Yun's eyes, and Zhao Yun saw the heat and madness in his eyes.

This idea was definitely not Zhou Yu's impromptu idea. He must have prepared this crazy plan as early as Dongwu Port, even before he was sure that Zhuge Liang could see through the plan to surprise Langxie.

Bang!

Gan Ning slapped the table heavily and bared his teeth in a fierce smile.

"Fuck! Gong Jin, you do things just to please me! The Jinfan Warriors under my command never know how to write the word 'fear'!"

Zhou Yu and Gan Ning looked at each other for confirmation, and both turned to look at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun gritted his teeth, hammered the table hard again, and said.

"Fuck! Baima Yi will fight to the death!"

"good!"

Zhou Yu raised the corners of his mouth as if he had expected it.

"We want to see the military advisor!" "We want to see the military advisor!"

Zhou Yu originally wanted to explain something to Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, but was interrupted by the noise outside the tent. Everyone had no choice but to walk out of the tent together.

I saw Han Xing, Qingshan, Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, Lu Meng and other generals with their young generals, and about a dozen people gathered around the tent. Seeing Zhou Yu come out, Ling Tong took the lead to speak.

"Commander, the enemy is right in front of you, why don't you fight? Could it be that you are afraid, military counselor? Ling Tong dares to issue a military order in front of all the troops. As long as the military counselor gives me 5,000 troops, Zhou Cang's head will be sacrificed within two days."

At the bottom of the stairs!"

How dare this kid provoke me!

Zhou Yu lowered his face and scolded.

"Nonsense! How to fight? I have discussed with General Gan and General Zhao. When will it be your turn to take command?"

After all, Zhou Yu's majesty in the army was very profound. His scolding immediately made everyone dare not refute him for a while.

"Could the military advisor be worried about Zhang Fei's troops behind him? Xu Sheng is willing to lead two thousand white horse soldiers to attack, which will make it impossible to rescue Shimen Town and provide a safe rear for the military advisor."

Zhou Yu followed the sound and saw that the person speaking in the crowd was Xu Sheng. But now Xu Sheng was no longer a general, but a village chief.

This was not because Sun Ce was angry with Xu Sheng in the Battle of Shouchun, but because Xu Sheng paranoidly believed that it was his own negligence that led to the tragic death of 20,000 soldiers, the fall of Shouchun, and Zhou Tai's death in the battle at Pengcheng, but he himself survived.

Suffering from inner torture, Xu Sheng asked Sun Ce to demote himself to the third level.

Zhou Yu stared at Xu Sheng, still scolding with a stern face.

"Arrogant! Although Zhang Fei is not handsome, his ability in marching and fighting is not comparable to that of ordinary mediocre people, and he is a fierce general. Even General Zhao Yun personally led the army to attack, and he was only defeated with three thousand white horses. How can you

How dare you make such arrogant remarks! Moreover, only those with military positions above the commander are qualified to participate in the big account discussion. You are just a village commander, so why don’t you step down!"
