This is the area bordering Runan County and Chen State.
Xiang County has Yingshui flowing through it, and it is very convenient to transport grain and grass supplies by water. In addition, going north from Xiang County to Chen State, there is also Langtang Canal, a branch of Yingshui. Going north along Langtang Canal, you can cross Chen State and enter Chenliu County of Yanzhou
.
Further north is the Gutter Water. This river is close to East County of Yanzhou and close to Jizhou.
This is the battle line chosen by Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu led an army from Pingyu County, with loud gongs and drums, constant trumpets, and banners covering the sky. The momentum created by the army was terrifying. After the news reached Yanzhou, Xiahou Dun, who was guarding Yanzhou, quickly led his army southward.
Arriving at the southern border garrison in Chen County, Chen State.
After Xiahou Dun arrived, he did not take the initiative to go south into Xiang County to attack, but chose a comprehensive defense.
Zhou Yu's army also confronted Xiahou Dun at the border of Xiang County. Like Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yu did not take the initiative to attack, and the army faced off with Xiahou Dun.
Zhou Yu's military camp, the main tent of the Chinese army.
Zhou Yu put his hands behind his back and stared at the map of Chen County hanging in the camp, pondering the route to the north.
Zhou Yu was stationed at the border for more than a month, and he fought patiently and never went north. Many generals in the army were asking for a fight, hoping to attack north, but Zhou Yu defied everyone's opinions and showed no impatience.
While Zhou Yu was staring at the map, a soldier entered, bowed and said: "Grand Governor, there is a letter from Guoyuan."
Zhou Yu turned around and took it and looked through it.
The content of the letter is about the autumn harvest in Yuzhou.
This year's autumn harvest in Yuzhou has begun. According to current statistics, there is another bumper harvest in various parts of Yuzhou. At the end of the letter, Guoyuan said that the grain, grass and equipment needed for the war are still being sent to the front line in a steady stream.
Zhou Yu had a smile on his face after reading it.
Another good harvest.
This is a good thing.
After this year's harvest, Zhou Yu's war with Xiahou Dun went more smoothly this time. Zhou Yu read the letter, wrote a reply and gave it to the soldiers to send back, and then continued to stare at the map.
After a while, a soldier entered and reported: "Grand Governor, Zhou Tai wants to see you."
"please come in."
Zhou Yu gave an order.
Zhou Tai has been working by Zhou Yu's side. He is not only a tiger general under his command, but also responsible for protecting Zhou Yu's safety. After a while, Zhou Tai came in. When he saw Zhou Yu, he looked a little angry, clasped his fists and said: "Great Governor."
Zhou Yu asked: "Youping has an angry look on his face, what's the matter?"
Youping is the pseudonym of Zhou Tai.
Zhou Taiweng said in a loud voice: "Captain Governor, we have been guarding the border of Xiang County for more than a month. So far, we have not taken the initiative to attack. The soldiers are talking about it, and people's hearts are a little unstable."
"Even if you have high prestige and are able to stand out from the crowd, if you don't send troops for a long time, the people's hearts will be unstable."
"The general was wandering around in the camp earlier and overheard the people below talking so boldly that the commander-in-chief was afraid of war and was stationary because he was afraid of failure. For this reason, the general took care of a few people."
Zhou Tai said anxiously: "Grand Governor, please tell me exactly how we arranged it."
Zhou Yu looked very calm, without the slightest hint of anger, and said with a smile: "It seems that the normal training is not strong enough and needs to be further strengthened. After practicing one by one, naturally there is no intention to discuss."
Zhou Tai scratched his head and said anxiously: "This is not a matter of training. What the general means is that the soldiers are not angry. How did you arrange it? The general knows your capabilities, but many people below have opinions."
Zhou Yu chuckled and said: "In the art of war, it is said that the enemy is as formidable as a mountain and as powerful as thunder. To attack Xiahou Dun, we cannot attack unilaterally. We must break through in all directions to seize the Yanzhou area in one go."
"It's not difficult to attack Xiahou Dun."
"It's just that I want to hold off Xiahou Dun and buy time for Taishi Ci and Gao Shun."
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "When the news of Taishi Ci and Gao Shun comes, the destruction of Xiahou Dun will be a matter of a few seconds."
Zhou Tai frowned and said: "Gao Shun sent troops to attack the Liang State from the Pei State, and there is no one on the Liang State to guard him. He has not won yet. It's true."
Zhou Yu said calmly: "What's the rush? You have to be calm and patient when fighting. You have followed me all these years, and I have been asking you to study and change your thinking. You are such an idiot, you only know how to fight.
Have you recited yesterday’s military manual?”
Zhou Tai's expression suddenly froze.
read?
This thing is too difficult. When he reads the book, his eyelids will twitch and his mind will be confused. He is not the material at all.
Zhou Yu continued: "You have been following me these years, and you have not participated in many wars and have not made many achievements. In this case, you can only change your direction to improve yourself, such as running the army, leading troops for reconnaissance, or other aspects, you
And ordinary military commanders..."
Zhou Tai's cheeks twitched when he heard this.
here we go again!
After a while, Zhou Yu gave him ideological lessons, which made him very confused.
Zhou Tai rolled his black eyes and changed the topic: "Grand Governor, I have another idea."
Zhou Yu asked: "What do you think?"
Zhou Taihan smiled and said: "Grand Governor, your daughter is over one year old. When we left Pingyu County, the general saw little Zhi'er. She was very well-behaved. She liked the general very much."
When Zhou Zhi was mentioned, Zhou Yu's serious expression softened, and his eyes were bright, full of tenderness and kindness.
Zhou Yu had already gotten married in Yuzhou, and got married in a very low-key manner.
When he was in Yangzhou before, he had no intention of getting married. He refused the arrangements of his uncle Zhou Shang several times and wanted to build a career first. It was only when he was in charge of Pingyu County in Yuzhou that he met Lin Xi, who was from a local rich family.
From then on, Jin Feng Yu Lu met each other, fell in love, and tasted the beauty of love.
Zhou Yu married Lin Xi in a low-key manner without publicizing it, and then gave birth to a daughter, Zhou Zhi, who is now over one year old. Although Zhou Zhi is only over one year old, she is well-behaved and cute, and is Zhou Yu's sweetheart.
Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Tai and asked, "You mentioned Zhi'er, what's the matter?"
Zhou Taihan said with a smile: "Xiao Zhi'er likes the general so much, why not let her be the adopted daughter of the general. The general knows that we are trying too hard, but the general will be a foster father, and I guarantee that he will be competent. Who dares to bully Xiao Zhi'er?
, the final general will beat him until his mother doesn’t even recognize him.”
Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he scolded: "You are a rough guy, you are Zhi'er's adoptive father. What if you harm my daughter? You read a few more books first, and then I will think about it."
Zhou Tai quickly said: "I will go to study at the end."
He grinned and left quickly. He had already figured out the character of his governor-general, and when it came to Xiao Zhi'er, he was Ni Lin.
Zhou Yu snorted, looked at Zhou Tai's leaving figure, and looked at the map again.
"Report!"
A soldier entered and reported: "Grand Governor, there is an urgent message from the king, and it has been sent out in a hurry over 800 miles."
"Bring it over quickly."
Zhou Yu had a look of anticipation on his face.
Although his king is not particular about some aspects, he is very much like Cao Cao's thieves. However, his own king has always been quick and cunning in using troops. Maybe he has made a breakthrough in the confrontation with Cao's thieves.
