Chapter 135 Zhou Yu's fear, Cao Cao's calculations!
The entire ritual process is not complicated.
After Lu Yan and others finished offering incense, the urns of the fallen soldiers were carried by other robes and placed one by one into the graves.
After the burial, Lu Yan took the wine jar from Guo Jia and murmured: "Brothers, I, Lu Yan, will do it first as a token of respect!"
After finishing nearly half of the jar in one go, Lu Yan waved his hand and poured the drink to the ground.
The soldiers behind Lu Yan also drank nearly half of the wine in the wine bowl like Lu Yan, and then poured the remaining wine on the land in front of them.
At this moment, some soldiers were already in tears. I don’t know whether it was because they were hurt by the scene, or because their good brother was lying behind the tombstone...
After the sacrifice, Lu Yan and the cavalry returned to the cavalry camp.
In the camp, these more than a thousand cavalry soldiers who had completely transformed into elite soldiers stood neatly and quietly in a square formation.
Lu Yan faced them, looking at this group of faces that were either old or immature, haggard or tired, and after taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "Everyone! The dead are gone, and the living must move forward.
Those who have gone to reincarnation, the will they left behind will be passed down from generation to generation by our living brothers!"
The atmosphere, which was originally a bit quiet and sentimental, slowly became lively with Lu Yan's speech.
yes!
In a war, no one will die.
Instead of immersing in the sorrow of the past, it is better to stand up again and move forward bravely!
At the end of his speech, Lu Yan suddenly asked: "If the earthen jar is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. Brothers, are you... afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid! I'm just a soldier!"
Suddenly a noise came from the crowd, and the original rigorous atmosphere was completely destroyed by it...
"Hahaha!" A burst of laughter suddenly broke out in the military formation.
Lu Yan's mouth twitched, and he quickly discovered the culprit who ruined the atmosphere.
Pointing at the strong man making noise, Lu Yan said loudly: "Tieniu! I will punish you without having dinner today!"
Tieniu, who was called by Lu Yan's name, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly wailed: Ah! No! Lu Qiaoqi, I know I'm wrong! I'm counting on this mouthful of food, so you have to give it to me
Let’s eat!”
Tieniu's encounter and exaggerated acting skills once again caused the surrounding robes to burst into laughter, and many even began to tease Tieniu.
Lu Yan didn't seem to want to give up. When the laughter subsided, he suddenly smiled and said: "Tonight's celebration banquet, let's drink wine and eat hot pot!"
"hot pot!"
"Yeah!"
"Hiccup!" When Tieniu heard that he was having hot pot tonight, he couldn't catch his breath, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Of course, this was just a joke played by Lu Yan on him.
The soldiers must have enough food. At worst, they will kill a few more cows at night...
Tonight, I am destined to have no sleep again!
evening,
Lu Yan only attended the beginning of the banquet. Before the banquet was over, he left the banquet due to excessive drinking and returned to the house alone.
Lu Yan's current status is a bit too high, and the soldiers still can't let him go without him.
Returning to General Hussar's Mansion, Lu Yan adjusted his mood and started writing today's diary.
Yuan Shu is no longer worth mentioning... Once Xuzhou is digested, Boss Cao, who owns the two states and has no shortage of food, will be able to join the ranks of the strongest princes today.
Some people may want to ask, Yuan Shu was defeated so quickly, how could such a guy dare to claim the throne, and why would he dare to claim the throne?
But in fact,
Before Yuan Shu committed suicide, his strength was one of the strongest forces among the Kanto princes, and he was a proper T0 level.
A good hand of cards is played badly, and it is Yuan Shu himself who is talking about it.
A man who claims to be emperor and makes himself isolated and helpless, even falling apart, is indeed worthy of being called a man withered bones in the grave.
...
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Let us say that after Sun Ce and Liu Bei left Shouchun City, they each hurried back to their own camps.
On the way back to the camp, Sun Ce, a rough man, was keenly aware of an undetectable abnormality in Zhou Yu's expression.
Deliberately slowing down his horse, Sun Ce waited until Zhou Yu caught up, and then he asked with concern: "Gong Jin, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yu was still thinking about something just now. After being brought back to reality by Sun Ce's greetings, he shook his head and replied: "It's nothing...it's just that there are some things that I can't quite understand."
"Hey! Is there anything else you can't figure out?" Sun Ce suddenly became interested and asked curiously: "Tell me, what is it?"
Zhou Yu raised his head and glanced at the bright smile on Sun Ce's face, and said, "I don't quite understand how Cao Cao contacted Lei Bo and cooperated to capture Shouchun City."
"That's it?" Sun Ce suddenly became interested and needed money, and replied: "Isn't it as simple as Lei Bo surrendering to Cao Cao and then opening the city gate?"
Zhou Yu still frowned and asked: "Have you ever thought about Ke Bo Fu?
Shouchun City implements the vicious policy of building strong walls and clearing out the wilderness. Let alone people, even birds may not be able to freely come and go.
Then how did Cao Cao contact Lei Bo and collude with him to open the city gate at a certain moment?"
"Um... I haven't thought about this." Sun Zhizhi looked a little embarrassed. There were indeed many questions about the details, but he usually couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it...
Seeing that Sun Ce still looked indifferent, Zhou Yu decided to give him a beating, "Cao Cao is a very sophisticated and scheming man. Bo Fu, you must not underestimate him!"
"I know...I didn't look down on him."
"I mean, you have to take him very, very seriously!"
"Understood..."
"It seems you still don't understand."
"..."
"Let me ask you something again." Zhou Yu said.
"You say, I listen..."
"Do you know what Cao Cao's intention was behind giving up Yuan Shu to us and Liu Bei today?"
When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately calmed down and started thinking.
After about ten breaths, he finally tried to answer: "Cao Cao wants us to compete with Liu Bei and destroy our relationship?"
"It seems that it is not hopeless." Zhou Yu's smile showed a trace of relief.
"..."
"But you only talked about one aspect." Seeing Sun Ce looking at him cutely with his eyes open, Zhou Yu couldn't help but said with a smile: "On the other hand, Cao Cao used this matter to send us away. Only we and
After Liu Bei leaves, he can concentrate on controlling Huainan and Guangling County."
When Sun Ce heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "Guangling County? Isn't that Liu Bei's territory?"
"Liu Bei still has supporters in Xuzhou. Cao Cao will never let Liu Bei stay in Xuzhou. If you don't believe it, you can wait and see if it is what I said in the end." Zhou Yu looked confident and asked Sun Ce
I couldn't help but believe it eight points.
When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but start to worry, and asked: "Cao Cao has so many bad intentions behind his back, is he also trying to attract our Jiangdong's attention?"
"Of course he will not miss any opportunity to seize Jiangdong!"
Zhou Yu's words made Sun Ce obviously nervous.
"It's just that Cao Cao's tentacles can't reach our Jiangdong for the time being.
And although the Jiangdong family hates us, they will be even more disgusted and afraid of Cao Cao..."
Sun Ce nodded and agreed with Zhou Yu's speculation.
"I hope Zibu can stabilize the situation in Jiangdong.
As long as we can successfully capture Yuan Shu's head this time, the aristocratic families in Jiangdong will be of use to us sooner or later!"
Zhou Yu's frown finally relaxed, "Yes, we must capture Yuan Shu's head!"
