Lu Zijing also looked much older than when he was in Cangtingjin. Although he didn't have any hair, his tall body could not help but become rickety when talking in front of Sun Quan.
Seeing that Zhou Yu and Huang Gai were not here, Sun Quan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and laughed twice.
"Since Gong Jin is unwell, I will not go to the military camp and let him rest well. The army will attack Guangling from the north soon, and Chaisang's partial army will be needed to help!"
"Back then, when I was around my brother, Mr. Lujiang was the most changeable. I didn't expect that he would still be like this today!"
Sun Quan was obviously smiling, but a bone-chilling chill still penetrated his body.
Lord Wu didn't say anything anymore, turned his horse's head, and headed straight for Wu Commandery. Wu's army didn't know where they were going, but they knew that the governor's location was not far away.
When Sun Quan came here and didn't see Zhou Yu, it was probably not Jiangdong's good fortune.
Less than twenty miles away from Sun Quan's army, next to the military stronghold, Zhou Yu, a man with white hair and a thin face, stared north and said nothing.
Huang Gai, the general beside him, admired the governor the most. Seeing how haggard Mizhouro was, with his cheekbones as high as mountain peaks, his heart felt sour and his eyes were already red.
"Captain, the autumn wind hurts people. The Commander should return to camp. My lord will definitely come to see you soon!"
"Zhongmou will not come when the public is dismissed. You don't understand. How can there be any reason in the world for a master to ask for an audience with his ministers?"
"I didn't expect that Bo Fu's brother is so familiar with the emperor's mind. Every time I stay in Jiangdong for one more day, I just feel uneasy in my heart!"
"Captain, didn't Zijing say that we just need to talk things over?"
"Zijing is trying to comfort me. If there is a gap in my heart, it will be difficult to mend it. Zijing himself is also tired of trying to bridge the gap between the emperor and his ministers!"
"Oh, come to think of it, it's Beidi, that farmer from Beidi. He is naturally gentle and kind in his words and deeds. I don't know if I will ever see Datong again in this life!"
Zhou Yu's voice gradually became lower. This man, who was extremely talented and handsome when he was a boy, had his eyes closed and his white hair was blowing away in the autumn wind.
Great changes are imminent in the world. In Hebei and Yecheng, Zhang He surrendered before the battle. Today is already the twentieth day.
Although the defenders of Yecheng were elite, Cao's army attacking the city could feel that the morale of Yuan Shao's army was slowly disintegrating.
Cao Cao camped under Yecheng, and Li Dian and other generals marched north to Youzhou, making great progress along the way.
Even Zang Ba and Chang Xi also arrived from Beihai County. Under Ye City, Cao's army became more powerful day by day. If Cao Cao hadn't cherished the soldiers and had no intention of attacking by force, the Jizhou County at this time would have been destroyed.
Lord.
Yuan Tan sealed his younger brother and father together in the government office.
He even ordered his troops to capture Jushou because he didn't know who he was and had ulterior motives.
At the critical moment, Xu You brought his own servants and soldiers and took Xin Ping, a counselor from Guo Tu's lineage, as a guard in the mansion. This move was greatly appreciated by Yuan Tan. Yuan Shao's direct son regarded Xu Ziyuan as second only to Guo Tu.
A trustworthy person.
Yuan Shao was trapped in the mansion and didn't know anything about what happened outside the city, even outside the mansion.
He was worried about the war and Zhang He's fate, and he didn't even know what happened to Zhang He. He repeatedly summoned the civil servants and generals from Hebei but never came. He was worried in his heart and saw that he was becoming more and more haggard day by day. After twenty days, he was already like a living dead.
On this day, Yuan Tan and Guo Tu were patrolling the city. Seeing Cao Cao's great power, Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Pi was also pushed back from the north by Cao's army.
Xinpi is the chief administrator in Youzhou. Now that he is here, most of the land in Hebei is probably owned by Cao's army. The fall of Yecheng is imminent.
"Gongze, is there still room for maneuver in the situation in Hebei? Cao's army is so powerful that I think it's impossible to do anything major!"
"Young lord, although Cao Cao is powerful and a righteous man in Hebei, he still loves his lord. The city of Ye is strong and strong, so why don't you defend it? Xin Pi surrendered to Cao Cao. That is because his Xin family brothers are disloyal. They can kill Xin Ping and boost their morale.
!”
Around Yuan Tan, Guo Tu and Xin Ping competed fiercely for favor. At the critical moment, Guo Gongze destroyed his own temper and had a violent attack.
"Kill Xin Ping? What's Zhongzhi's fault? Yesterday we drank together, how can we talk about killing today?"
"It was Xin Ping's fault to kill the lord and Xin Pi surrender to the thieves. I heard from Ziyuan that many of the city's lieutenants and colonels came to the mansion to see Zhongzhi. So what should he do if he wants to open the city and beg for surrender?"
"I, I, you and I can just watch and handle this matter from a distance. It was you who suggested that we surround the mansion that day. How should we end it now?"
"Young lord, the matter has come to this. At worst, we will all be destroyed. Even if the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family in Hebei die, they will not lose the prestige of the noble family!"
Although Guo Tu specializes in killing his own people, he is also the most stubborn one in resisting Cao Cao.
Yuan Tan killed many people in Qingzhou. Now seeing Guo Tu's crazy expression, he suddenly became a little scared.
He remained silent and strode down the stone steps. Not far away, he heard the sounds of fighting on the city wall. A moment later, along with Guo Tu's crazy laughter and Yuan Jun's shouts, Yuan Tan knew that Xin Ping had been killed by Guo Tu.
Try to cure it.
At the foot of Yecheng City, Cao Cao held a bamboo paper document in his hand, concentrating and saying nothing.
This was sent by Fang Guang from Chang'an in two copies, one to Yecheng and one to here.
The letter was very long. It talked about the great changes in Yizhou and the speculation that Liu Bei and Sun Quan would form an alliance to attack the north.
The situation in Yizhou was okay. Cao Cao asked the young man to go to Hanzhong, which meant he had to go to Longwang to Shu. Sun Quan and Liu Bei joined forces, but in Cao Cao's view, it was very fantasy.
After reading the letter, he spread out his hands and handed the letter into Xun Yu's hands. Cao Ying's counselors passed the letter around and felt that the young man's words were quite mysterious.
"Datong is becoming more and more magical now. No matter what strategy he needs in future wars, as long as he calculates with his eyes closed, he will definitely win!"
Xun Yu smiled and was the first to speak. Unconsciously, he pushed Fang Guang towards the Yellow Turban lineage and Zhang Lu's close friend.
"My Lord, no way. Ten days ago, wasn't it reported by the Gongming Army that all the Jingzhou soldiers were going south to join Sun Quan in hunting south of Nanjun?"
"Xu Huang intends to go south, and the lord told him not to act rashly. How come Datong doesn't know about this?"
Although Cheng Yu had a close friendship with Fang Guang, he always stayed true to his words when talking about important matters. As soon as he said something, Chen Qun and Sima Fang all agreed with him.
"My lord, I don't think so. Sun Quan and Liu Bei probably didn't expect that my lord would have a large army across Hebei, so they were forced to form an alliance."
"Liu Bei was a powerful man in the world. He had no morality in his eyes, only practical benefits. Although Sun Zhongmou was young, judging from his appearance, he was not an idle person. What Si Nong said may seem absurd, but it actually contains truth!"
The man who refuted Cheng Yu stood next to Cao Pi, who had just arrived yesterday, with a look of solemnity on his face.
Cao Cao saw that the person who was speaking still looked like a young man. He couldn't remember his name and let out a light sigh.
"Father, this is Sima Zhongda, the son of Sima Gong. He is his son's friend, so he came together!"
"Oh? Sima Zhongda, I remembered that he was the little Sima who squandered your brother's ten years of salary while making iron in Xuchang!"
"Among the children of the aristocratic family, there are few people as pragmatic as you. Your actions are quite similar to those of Datong. I didn't expect that your strategies coincide with each other!"
Cao Cao admired Sima Yi's appearance very much and praised him repeatedly. Even Cao Pi's face lit up with joy.
Just when everyone was about to start a discussion, suddenly Guo Tu's hysterical roar came from the walls of Yecheng.
"Those who betray the lord will only die!"
Cao Ying's Civil and Military Officers looked at the sound and saw a scribe in white on the city wall with a frightened face. He was being held by his comrades behind him with a long sword held between his neck.
