Looking at the surprised group of people on the shore, as if they were seeing off. Everyone on the Qinglong stood straight, with pride and pride on their faces. The huge sailboat passed by Zhou Yu's eyes, and Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, thinking in his heart
: I don’t know how many such warships Long Fei has. If it’s just this one, it’s easy to handle. If there are several, he will be truly invincible.
As the saying goes: Horses in the north and ships in the south. The cavalry in the north gallops across the battlefield and fights all over the world, and the navy in the south of the Yangtze River is also invincible. But these two things don't seem to be very effective when it comes to Long Fei. Yan Liang's 20,000 cavalry were defeated by Long Fei.
Fei launched a sneak attack and wiped out the entire army, and Yan Liang died to apologize. Now that Long Fei has such a huge ship, the advantage of the Jiangdong navy is gone.
Returning to his camp, Zhou Yu remained silent, and Zhu Huan and Chen Wu had nothing to say. It was not long before the messenger came in to report that Long Fei's envoy Jiang Gan was here again. Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu were from the same hometown, and even more
He is Long Fei's envoy. After seeing his navy, Jiang Gan has to see him even if he doesn't see him. Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said, "Please!"
Jiang Qian walked into Zhou Yu's tent without hesitation. When he saw the appearance of the three of them, he already knew in his heart: "Brother Gong Jin, you are polite!"
Zhou Yu nodded: "Brother Ziyi, you're welcome, come and take a seat!"
Jiang Gan was unceremonious and sat down on his seat. When they first came, Zhu Huan and Chen Wu felt that Jiang Gan was full of talk, and whatever words he said would turn into all kinds of strange excuses.
Looking back now, I feel that what Jiang Gan said makes sense, and the two of them stopped talking. Jiang Gan took a sip of tea: "Brother Gongjin, you saw it just now. What I said is true. My lord can easily destroy Jiangdong."
, But!" Just when Zhu Huan was about to get angry, Jiang Gan changed the topic: "But Jiangdong is not powerless to resist. Looking at the world, Cao Cao has forced Yuan Shao's three sons to a dead end, and the war in Hebei will soon come to an end.
, if Cao Cao goes south, he must first find someone easy to deal with, and of course we in Jingzhou are not among them."
"Brother Ziyi, speak directly if you have anything to say, Zhou Yu is all ears!"
Jiang Gan smiled: "I came here today to form an alliance between the two families. If Brother Gongjin agrees, we in Jingzhou will definitely not sit idly by when Cao Cao sends his army south!"
Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said: "Brother Ziyi is going too far. The goal of forming an alliance with us is still in Changsha, right?"
"Hahaha..." Jiang Gan laughed loudly: "Brother Gongjin is still extremely smart. Since brother Gongjin already knows, I won't hide it anymore! Liu Bei of Changsha is good at detaining Liu Cong, the governor of Jingzhou. Your Majesty knows this and has specially ordered my lord to do so.
General Zhennan led his troops to conquer, while Liu Bei defended Changsha. If my lord attacked by force, Changsha could be destroyed overnight, but the people would suffer. Therefore, my lord only besieged but not attacked, in order to let Liu Bei come out to confess his crime. But Liu Bei tried to win over him.
First it was the Jiaozhou scholar family, and then it was Jiangdong. My lord was really helpless and had no choice but to take this approach."
Zhou Yu nodded: "Brother Ziyi's eloquence is rare in the world. Zhou Yu lamented that he is not as good as him. In this case, why don't brother Ziyi go to Moling to meet my lord and explain that he is so good? Why do you have to come to me again and again?"
Jiang Qiandao: "Brother Gongjin is joking. Moling is thousands of miles away. There is nothing to do about Changsha. Brother Gongjin is in charge of half of the troops in the east of the Yangtze River. This Chaisang is less than a hundred miles away from me in Jiangxia. With brother Gongjin's talent and knowledge, I can't do it."
Don’t you understand who is strong and who is weak?”
Zhou Yu said: "What Brother Ziyi said is different. Although I am in charge of the army, I am also a minister of the Sun family. Doesn't Brother Ziyi put me in a position of disloyalty by saying this?"
Jiang Gan looked at Zhou Yu, then looked at Zhu Huan, the second general Chen Wu, and the dozen or so guards waiting beside him, and said: "Everyone in the world knows that Brother Gongjin defeated the Sun family. If it was Brother Gongjin,
I mean, it's not the Sun family's turn. It's because of Brother Gongjin's benevolence that he is willing to submit to the Sun family. I'm not telling you, if Brother Gongjin didn't realize the danger, why did he come to Chaisang?"
"Bold Jiang Gan! You are sowing discord!" Zhu Huan was furious and rushed over to arrest Jiang Gan.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, and Zhu Huanqi gritted his teeth. Zhou Yu said: "Brother Ziyi, there is no need to use this trick. Although my lord is young, he is also a hero. Such tricks can be seen through at a glance. What I want to know is, if we
What benefits will there be from joining forces with Jiangdong?"
"When did Brother Gongjin become as powerful as my lord?" Jiang Gan said with a smile: "If the two families unite, they will naturally share the benefits. If the two families unite, I can guarantee Gongjin that with Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang,
The South China Sea is the boundary, and the east belongs to Jiangdong. Isn’t this a great gift?”
"Hahaha!" Zhou Yu laughed loudly: "Brother Ziyi is so loud. These places were originally ours, but now they are given to us. Doesn't it sound like a joke?"
Jiang Gan said: "What? Brother Gongjin doesn't seem to care. In this case, I will turn back to my lord. I believe that before March, I am afraid that Chaisang will not belong to Jiangdong!"
Zhu Huan couldn't bear it anymore and drew out his sword with a cry: "If you want to start a war, Grandpa will accompany you, just come over! Kill you, a sharp-tongued guy first, and let Long Fei see that we in Jiangdong are not afraid of him!"
Chen Wu hurriedly hugged him. Jiang Gan sat still and ignored the two of them. He drank tea and looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu sighed softly: "As a foreign minister, I can't make the final decision on Brother Ziyi's conditions.
How about I send the news to my lord in a few days and ask him to make a decision?"
"Okay!" Jiang Gan put down the tea bowl: "It takes three days for a horse to go back and forth from Chaisang to Moling. For Gongjin's sake, I will give you five days. If there is no reply, we will think that General Sun refuses and leave!
"
After saying these words, Jiang Gan turned around and left the tent. In the tent, Zhu Huan was still jumping violently, and Chen Wu hugged him tightly. Zhou Yu collapsed on his seat like a deflated ball. Long Fei's strength improved by leaps and bounds.
This is not the first time that young man has come to Jiangdong to declare an edict. If he does not agree to Jiangdong, he will be in danger of losing his eggs. Sun Ce will not let Jiangdong be ruined in his own hands. Zhou Yusi thought about it and cheered up, preparing to give Sun Quan
write a letter.
Zhuge Liang was also at a loss. Since Liu Bei and others left Changsha, there has been no news. He once sent people out to inquire through the secret passage, but they never returned. He naturally understood the reason. Seeing that the food and grass in the city were getting less and less,
Many people were already begging along the streets. Zhuge Liang knew that Changsha could not be defended, but he still had a glimmer of hope.
Ma Liang hurried into the government office with a carrier pigeon in his hand: "Commander, there is news!"
He hurriedly removed the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg and shook it open. Zhuge Liang was in a rare panic. He sat on the main seat and muttered to himself: "It's over! It's over!"
"Military advisor, how is the matter?" Ma Liang asked again.
Ma Su sneered and said: "No need to ask, just look at the military advisor's face and you will know that Jiangdong's matter probably did not succeed either."
"Ah!" Mi Zhu was shocked: "How could this happen? Didn't our people persuade Sun Quan? Or was there someone standing in the way?"
Zhuge Liang braced himself: "It's Long Fei. He suddenly went to Jiangdong. Not only did he prevent our marriage with Sun Quan, but he also took away the lord. Without Jiangdong's support, Changsha couldn't defend it for long. In the past two days, Long Fei
I'm afraid we will attack the city."
"What? My lord was robbed? This..." Ma Liang was also confused.
Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and returned to his usual demeanor. His cold face showed no expression, and he stared at Mi Zhu with his eyes: "Mr. Mi, how long can our food and grass last?"
Mi Zhu sighed: "It's only one month. If we continue to help the people, I'm afraid it won't even last ten days."
"There are still ten days left. I will immediately ask the four elders for help to see what they can do?" Zhuge Liang waved his hand and asked everyone to go down: "There must be no chaos in the city. If there is chaos in the city, Long Fei will attack the city immediately!"
Wei Yan's eyes on the side kept rolling, not knowing what he was thinking. Zhuge Liang glanced at him, and Wei Yan quickly gathered his mind and said: "I will go to the city immediately to organize a defense. As long as Long Fei dares to come, he will definitely make him pay the price!"
Zhuge Liang said: "I hope so! You all go down and get ready. If anything happens, I will notify you immediately! Of course, you must also be prepared to retreat."
Mi Zhu hurriedly said: "Retreat? None of the people sent out from the secret passage last time came back. It is very likely that others have discovered the secret passage. How can we go without the secret passage?"
Ma Su shook his head and sighed: "Hey! It's really embarrassing to be forced to do this by one of our traitors. Did the Fourth Elder already expect the current result when he left, but he still let us stay?
, knowing that you can’t do something but doing it is really humiliating yourself!”
"Shut up!" Ma Liang kicked his younger brother hard: "We are talking about things, you have no right to speak here, get out!" Ma Di did not refute, and left the government office laughing.
Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Liang and said: "You Chang is right. We didn't have much hope for Jingzhou in the first place. It's not surprising that we lost it now. Brother Ji Chang, if you have time tomorrow, how about you go out to the city to meet Zhang Liao?"
Ma Liang nodded: "The military advisor wants to use Changsha City in exchange for our safe departure from Jingzhou?"
"Hey!" Zhuge Liang sighed: "Since the day we entered the city, I asked you to restrain your subordinates and not to act recklessly. It was just for today. I just didn't expect it to come so soon. Now the master has fallen into Long Fei's hands.
, I don’t know if Long Fei is willing to do it, but you can test Zhang Liao’s tone after you leave the city tomorrow, and we will make a decision after you come back!”
"Wait a minute!" Seeing Ma Liang turning around to leave, Mi Zhu quickly stopped him and said, "Commander, if Long Fei refuses, what should we do?"
Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, and everyone immediately understood the result. Now Changsha is surrounded like an iron barrel, and in ten days there will be no food. By then, there will be no need for Long Fei to attack the city, Changsha will be destroyed, and everyone including 20,000 soldiers and horses will be defeated.
Being captured by Long Fei, the soldiers may still have a way to live, but as the main criminals, they will definitely die. Mi Zhu nodded: "Okay! I understand!"
Wei Yan felt underestimated again, and there was just a little wave of excitement. Zhuge Liang noticed it immediately, glared at Wei Yan and said: "It was your good fortune that I didn't kill you last time. If you dare to have any different intentions, I will deal with you anyway!"
