"If we can capture the main camp of Liu Cong's army, we will need to leave a general to garrison in the capital to attract the returning Liu army and buy time for the main army to retreat."
"If Liu Cong defeated our Jiangdong Navy, the captured naval warships must still be in their naval stronghold. With Jingchu's wealth, there is no need for these ships in our Jiangdong. They also don't have the manpower to carry them out.
These ships are transported back to the rear."
Jiang Qin nodded and said, "What the Commander-in-Chief means is that we capture Liu Jun's camp and then go directly to the river to capture the enemy's navy camp?"
"Yes, if it can be accomplished, Bendu can lead the army down the river and return to Wu County."
Dong Xi smiled boldly and said, "Great Governor, I have been ordered to garrison the east of the city to attract the attention of the enemy in the east. Let me do it!"
Ding Feng continued, "Grand Governor, the general is in the west of the city. After capturing Liu Cong's camp, the general is willing to garrison the camp!"
Jiang Qin also said, "Hey, Chengyuan, your ability is superior to ours, how can we let you fall into death?"
Not to be outdone, Chen Wu said, "Do you look down on me, Chen Zilie?"
Zhou Yu looked a little sad when he saw a few people. Jiang Dong and Jing Chu had always lost in the battle from the beginning.
In the Battle of Jiangxia, Pan Zhang was killed by Huang Zu. He attacked Xunyang County several times but failed to break through Huo Jun's defense.
The night attack on Liu Cong's camp achieved certain results, but it resulted in the loss of three generals: Xu Sheng, Ling Tong, and Zhou Tai.
On the navy side, Cheng Pu and the others still don't know whether they will live or die.
Today, Jiangdong's important minister Zhang Zhao was martyred here again.
The veteran generals and major generals who followed Sun were all more or less damaged. In the process of confronting Jingchu, Jiangdong continued to lose.
He once proposed to Sun Quan to conquer Jingzhou, capture Yizhou, use Xiangyang as the capital, radiate to the north, and encroach on Cao Cao's territory. In this way, the world will definitely belong to the Sun family.
However, since Liu Cong took charge of Jingchu, he first defeated Cao Cao who went south, then expelled Liu Bei, and attacked the Wuxi barbarians. Now he wants to invade Jiangdong!
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and murmured, "If you give birth to Yu, why give birth to Cong?"
Some people didn't hear clearly, so Jiang Qin asked aloud, "What did the governor say?"
Zhou Yu did not hide anything from them, "I was lamenting that since Liu Cong took charge of Jingchu, I, Jiangdong, can no longer suppress me like before."
The generals were silent after hearing this, who could say otherwise? In the past, they were led by Zhou Yu and attacked Jiangxia many times. Ever since Liu Cong took charge of Jingchu and captured Chaisang, now they are even forced to fight against the trapped beasts.
.
"Alas," Zhou Yu sighed again, "the way to use military force is not to rely on one's own will. Today, we are going to have one's will."
As he said that, he took out five pieces of paper from the desk and said, "I will write on these five pieces of paper the east of the city, the garrison, and the withdrawal. Let us see what God decides on what we draw!"
Having said that, Zhou Yu started writing as soon as he picked up the pen. The pen moved like a dragon or a snake. The words written by Zhou Yu were full of domineering and heroic husband! There were five pieces of paper, one for garrison, one for the east of the city, and three for withdrawal.
Ding Feng stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yu's hand, "Captain, the four of us can draw lots, how can we let the governor participate?"
"Yes, Governor."
"The Grand Governor is the commander-in-chief of an army, how can he be conceited?"
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I was defeated by Pang Tong in Jiangxia. Today I am unable to protect the peace of Jiangdong. I have failed my lord and let down the people of Jiangdong."
"Today, Pontus also wants to ask God to see if it will allow Pontus to live and whether it will allow Jiangdong to survive this crisis!"
"Besides, there are three pictures here of retreating troops. I don't believe that my luck is so bad."
"Ding Feng, get out of the way!" Zhou Yu pushed Ding Feng's hand away, crumpled a few pieces of paper into a ball, and then moved them randomly on the table.
"Captain, the last general will come first!" Dong Xi stepped forward and grabbed a paper ball.
"You're welcome, General!"
"How can I fall behind others?"
Seeing the anxious expressions on the faces of several people, Zhou Yu felt a little moved. The respect that the Jiangdong soldiers had for him as the governor came from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhou Yu picked up the last ball of paper on the desk, opened it, and saw two big words, "Retreat!"
"Haha, I just said, to guard the east of the city, you should deal with the enemy forces in the east of the city!" Dong Xi shook the paper in his hand and smiled boldly at Zhou Yu and the others.
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "Who got the chance to stay in the camp?"
Ding Feng and Jiang Qin did not speak, but looked at Chen Wu. Chen Wu was not timid at all. He shook the paper in his hand and said, "Grand Governor, I will show Liu Jun the bravery of our Jiangdong soldiers!
"
"Zi Lie, it's better for me to stay at the camp."
"I'll do it!"
"Go away, who do you two look down on?"
General Jiangdong, who had been arguing fiercely just now, was extremely sad at the moment, and the hall was filled with sadness of life and death.
Zhou Yu stood up and said, "In the Yuan Dynasty (Dong Xi), I have given you five thousand men. At midnight tonight, you will leave the city from the east of the city and go straight to Huang Zhong's camp."
"promise."
"Zi Lie (Chen Wu), you and Benz attack Liu Jun's camp first. Afterwards, Benz will give you 3,000 men to resist the pursuers."
"promise."
"Remember, if something cannot be done, the two of you will take your own lives as the priority!"
At this point, Zhou Yu could not see the future of Jiangdong and gave up Yuzhang City. It was time for Liu Jun to attack Moling. Can he give up Moling again?
Besides, if Liu Cong's navy really defeated the Jiangdong navy, would they let Moling go? Maybe Moling would have fallen into their hands by now.
Of these generals, every one of them is alive. Zhou Yu did his best for Sun.
The two looked at each other and gave Zhou Yu a guarantee in unison.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, the general will definitely not humiliate me Jiangdong!"
Zhou Yu's eyes narrowed, "Chengyuan, Gongyi (Jiang Qin's nickname), you go and burn all the food in the city, leaving not a single grain for Liu Cong."
"Our officers and men, please have a good meal today and bring three days' worth of dry food."
"promise!"
After agreeing to the promise, Ding Feng asked worriedly, "Grand Governor, are you a bit hasty in attacking Liu Cong's camp tonight? After all, the morale of our army has just suffered a blow."
Zhou Yu sneered, "You think our army's morale has been hit. What will Liu Cong think?"
"He would never have thought that our army would attack his camp! After Dong Xi led his troops out of the city, Liu Jun would only think that we were going to break through!"
"Don't worry, success or failure depends on this, get ready to go now!"
"promise!"
Liu Cong, who returned to the camp, was also discussing with Pang Tong, Huo Jun and others. He was planning to attack the city in a few days!
Pang Tong cupped his hands and said, "Lord, during this period, we must prevent Zhou Yu from breaking out."
Liu Cong smiled and said, "Huang Zhong has 20,000 troops, including 5,000 Japanese troops. Zhou Yu will definitely not be able to break through his army formation for a while."
"What Gu is worried about is not him, but Wei Yan and Huang Zu. Each of them only has 10,000 men. If Zhou Yu attacks with all his strength, they may not be able to stop him. After all, there are still 60,000 Wu troops in the city."
Pang Tong added, "I think that even if we can't stop him, we can still make Zhou Yu lose a piece of meat. We have made all preparations. As long as Zhou Yu dares to leave the city, we can support the armies at any time."
"Hahaha, you're right, Zhou Gongjin can't escape even if he has wings." Liu Cong smiled heartily and looked at Huo Jun again, "Zhongmiao, why don't you speak up?"
