As the sun set, the city top of Guangling City was in a mess. The corpses of countless soldiers lay on the city head, including those of Sun Wu's army and those of the Western Qin army. A full ten days had passed since the Western Qin army laid siege to the city.
Before this, Sun Wu's army originally sent two troops out of the city, thinking that they would be able to use their strength to frighten Gan Ning's army that was besieging the city. Unexpectedly, just two days later, Zhang Liao's army stationed in Yangzhou actually
Appeared from the north of Guangling City and cooperated with Gan Ning's army to surround Guangling City!
Thanks to Zhou Yu's astuteness, he immediately sent people to take Sun Yi and other two armies back to Guangling City, which prevented them from being defeated one by one by the enemy. However, in this way, Guangling City was completely surrounded by the troops of Gan Ning and Zhang Liao. Every day
They were attacked in turn by two armies. Thanks to the concerted efforts of Sun Wu's soldiers, they were able to defend it. However, the price paid was huge! In the past few days, Sun Wu's army suffered heavy casualties, and the battle ended today.
, Sun Wujun has less than two thousand people left!
At the top of the city, Zhou Yu, whose face was covered in stains, was holding a sword and frowning, walking around the city head, looking at the injured soldiers lying on the ground from time to time. In today's battle, thanks to Zhou Yu's little trick,
Defeated the enemy's attack, otherwise Guangling City would have been defeated today! However, these tricks can only be used once. Gan Ning and Zhang Liao are not fuel-efficient lamps. I am afraid they will not be fooled next time. Although they were repelled this time
We defeated the enemy, but what about next time? Zhou Yu didn’t even dare to think about it!
"Master Zhou! Master Zhou!" A shout came from behind Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu quickly turned around and saw a general Sun Wu, holding a single sword stained with blood and full of gaps in one hand.
The other arm was missing from the shoulder. It had obviously been cut off by someone. The wound was now tightly wrapped with white cloth, but the white cloth had already been stained red with blood. Then
The general quickly walked up to Zhou Yu, held a single sword in one hand and saluted Zhou Yu, and said: "Master Zhou! My lord wants to discuss something with you!"
Seeing this general, a trace of regret flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes. He quickly helped the general up with both hands, and at the same time looked at his broken arm and said, "Chengyuan! Didn't I tell you to take a good rest to recuperate? What are you doing?
You came here again! Your wound has not healed yet, and you need to take a good rest!"
This general was Ding Feng, the general of Sun Wu. In the battle three days ago, Ding Feng had his arm cut off by a Western Qin soldier when he fought with the enemy! Fortunately, there was another general at the time.
Dong Xi was by his side and came to the rescue in time, thus saving Ding Feng's life. However, the arm was completely broken and could no longer be reattached! For a military general, how valuable is one hand?
How important! Without this hand, Ding Feng would almost become a useless person. How could Zhou Yu not feel sorry for such a talented general?
After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Ding Feng turned around and looked at his broken arm, but he smiled. He didn't seem to take it to heart, but shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou! Ding Feng's order
It's so hard that this little injury is nothing!" After Ding Feng was injured, he only rested in the military camp for a day. After the wound stopped bleeding, he ignored the doctor's dissuasion and chose to go into battle to kill the enemy. He didn't look like he was injured at all.
people.
Zhou Yu also knew that he could not persuade Ding Feng. Besides, Guangling City was about to be breached. Even if Ding Feng stayed in the city, Ding Feng would not be able to escape death when the city was breached. It would be better to go to the battlefield and kill him immediately!
Zhou Yu stopped talking, nodded, patted Ding Feng on the back, and then went straight down to the top of the city and rushed towards the Wuhou Mansion in the city. As for the top of the city, he might as well leave it to Ding Feng to fight.
reason.
Zhou Yu's status in Guangling City was second only to Wuhou Sun Quan, so when he arrived at Wuhou Mansion, the soldiers guarding Wuhou Mansion had no intention of stopping him, but saluted him respectfully.
Zhou Yu also walked directly into the Wuhou Mansion and walked to the meeting hall in a familiar manner. After arriving at the meeting hall, Zhou Yu found that except for Sun Quan sitting directly above, other Suns such as Sun Yi and Zhu Huan were sitting there.
Wu's important generals also gathered here, but their faces were not very good-looking, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall was also extremely depressing.
Seeing Zhou Yu coming, Sun Yi and other generals all stood up and saluted Zhou Yu. Even Sun Quan also stood up. In these days, thanks to Zhou Yu's command, Guangling City was able to save Guangling City from the violent attacks of the Western Qin Army.
After all, it can be said that in the minds of the generals, Zhou Yu has been regarded as their backbone! It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for Zhou Yu, I am afraid that Guangling City would have been breached by the Western Qin Army long ago!
After greeting the generals one by one, Zhou Yu went straight to Sun Quan, clasped his fists in front of Sun Quan and saluted, and said: "I see you, my lord!" Although Zhou Yu has a high reputation, he has no respect for the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
Don't dare to relax.
However, Sun Quan also stepped down from his seat, supported Zhou Yu directly to prevent him from bowing down, and then said: "Brother Gongjin, there is no need to be polite, come and take a seat!" After saying that, Sun Quan took Zhou Yu's hand and directly
He walked to his seat and asked Zhou Yu to sit on his right side.
After everyone was seated, Sun Quan wasted no time and hurriedly said to Zhou Yu: "Brother Gongjin! Just now, the third brother has calculated the situation of today's battle. Now Guangling City is already very critical. Maybe there won't even be tomorrow."
How come Liu Bei's reinforcements haven't come yet?" The reason why Sun Wujun could still support it before was because of the hope of Liu Bei's reinforcements. But as time passed day by day, the reinforcements were always there.
He didn't show up, and now the morale of Sun Wu's soldiers in the city is getting even lower. This situation is very bad!
Zhou Yu frowned. In fact, Zhou Yu had already paid attention to this matter. When he was patrolling the city, Zhou Yu also saw the state of the soldiers on the city and was anxious in his heart. Zhou Yu also knew that the situation caused
The reason why the morale of the soldiers is low is, ultimately, because Liu Bei's reinforcements, which should have arrived long ago, have not arrived, but Zhou Yu has no way to do anything about it. Now that Guangling City is under siege, what is the situation outside?
, Zhou Yu didn’t know at all why Liu Bei’s reinforcements had not arrived, and Zhou Yu couldn’t explain the reason.
Of course, with Zhou Yu's resourcefulness, he could also guess one or two possibilities. Perhaps Kuai Yue encountered something on the road and was delayed, or perhaps Liu Bei's reinforcements needed to spend more time mobilizing. As for Zhou Yu's guess,
Among them, there is another possibility, but Zhou Yu is always unwilling to think about it, that is, Liu Bei refuses to send reinforcements to Guangling!
Over the years, there have indeed been a lot of disputes between Sun Wu and Liu Bei. Guan Yu's son Guan Suo even died at the hands of Ling Tong, and Zhu Zhi died in a prison in Huai'an because of this! There is almost nothing between the two parties.
It is said that fire and water are incompatible. If you look at it purely from this aspect, it is reasonable for Liu Bei to refuse to send reinforcements! But Zhou Yu knows that Liu Bei is not a fool, and Zhuge Liang who is beside Liu Bei is a smart man and will never look at it.
The consequences after Sun Wu was destroyed! It was precisely because of this that Zhou Yu had previously confidently believed that Liu Bei would send reinforcements. However, so many days had passed and Liu Bei's reinforcements had not been seen. This made Zhou Yu originally
I have plenty of confidence, but now I am also a little uneasy.
After Sun Quan asked the question, Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, raised his head, looked at the expectant eyes of the generals sitting down, took a deep breath, and then squeezed out a smile and said: "Please don't worry, my lord! Liu Bei did it again before.
To guard against the lord and Cao Cao, the deployment of troops must be very scattered. Even the deployment of troops and horses will take a lot of time. Therefore, from the perspective of my subordinates, I believe that Liu Bei's reinforcements will arrive by the day after tomorrow at the latest!
"
It’s not that Zhou Yu doesn’t want to tell the truth, but if he tells the truth in front of these generals, it will only severely damage the confidence of the generals, which will have no benefit at all for tomorrow’s battle, so Zhou Yu chooses to tell the truth.
Telling this most unrealistic guess can appease the generals to some extent.
Sure enough, after hearing what Zhou Yu said, all the generals who sat down breathed a long sigh of relief. Dong Xi simply started to curse and shouted: "You son of a bitch Liu Bei! It's so troublesome to even mobilize troops! Fortunately, he can still do it.
Occupying such a large territory! If it were the lord, this matter would not be handled easily!"
Dong Xi's words were also approved by most people present. Of course, there were very few people who saw that Zhou Yu's words were not sincere, including Sun Quan himself. Sun Quan's martial arts may not be as good as his elder brother Sun Ce, or even as good as his younger brother Sun Yi, but Sun Quan's
But his intelligence is second to none among the Sun brothers! After Zhou Yu said those words, Sun Quan saw Zhou Yu's eyes flickering, as if there were some words left unsaid, but Sun Quan quickly guessed why Zhou Yu did this. Of course
He would not expose it, but would agree with Zhou Yu's statement and follow him to appease the generals.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan: "My lord! The situation in the city is indeed not good now! I have a suggestion. My lord can lead a group of troops tonight to break out of the encirclement at night and go north to Liu Bei's territory! And my subordinates have a proposal.
Then stay in Guangling City and wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
When Zhou Yu said this suggestion, Sun Quan became more and more sure of his conjecture. If it wasn't at the last moment, how could Zhou Yu suggest that he escape from Guangling City? And Zhou Yu stayed in Guangling, obviously wanting to persevere until the last moment on his own! This point
, Sun Quan would naturally not agree to it no matter what! Immediately, Sun Quan shook his head firmly and said: "No! Brother Gongjin! I don't agree to do this! Back then, my eldest brother gave me this inheritance, even though I had no ability.
, it is impossible to restore Sun Wu's foundation to its former glory, but it is absolutely impossible to abandon the soldiers and live alone at this time? If I do this, how will I have the face to see my father and elder brother in the future!"
