Ten miles east of Xiushui County, Jiangdong's army camped here. This time, Jiangdong Governor Zhou Yu personally served as the commander. Thirty thousand troops camped here with flags to cover the sky and the sun, making the sky colorful... There was a hat in the camp
The tent was set up, and the smoke from the cooking stoves, mixed with the thunderous roars of the soldiers, dispersed the clouds in the sky.
Groups of scouts came in and out of the camp, looking for news in the direction of Xiushui County.
Taishi Ci and Han Dang patrolled the camp from time to time. Looking at the high morale of the soldiers, Taishi Ci said: "Except my lord, the prestige of the Governor in Jiangdong is really unmatched. Just the Governor alone can surpass him."
Thousands of troops and horses, and in just a few days, the 30,000 soldiers and horses that were originally almost dispersed have been united, which is really exciting."
This was not the first time that Han Dang had seen Zhou Yu's prestige. He had no reaction to this and just nodded. Then he glanced at the west and said: "This army is led by the governor himself. After capturing Xiushui County, he will definitely insult Xu Shuyi."
Fan, let him know that Jiangdong is not a place for him to run wild."
Taishi Ci admired Xu Shu's talent, but he did not believe that Xu Shu could escape from Zhou Yu's attack. He shook his head and said: "If he can serve the Lord, Jiangdong will have one more general."
Although Han Dang was a little dissatisfied with Xu Shu, he was a veteran of Jiangdong after all. Talents like Xu Shu were rare, so it would be great if he could subdue his lord. He said: "It would be easy to say if he knows the current affairs, but if he doesn't know the importance, then don't
You blame me for being rude. Even a martial artist would be unbearable after dozens of boards. I wonder how he, a scholar, can bear it."
Taishi Ci smiled and said nothing. He also wanted to see what Xu Shu was like at that time, but he had a hunch that Xu Shu would not let himself fall into such a situation.
"The two generals and the chief governor invite you to come and discuss matters." A young general ran over and said.
Taishi Ci and Han Dang looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes. At this time, the expedition was not far away. They were holding their breath to get back the previous defeat. The two of them did not dare to neglect and immediately moved towards
Go to the big account office.
……………..
In Xiushui County, Xu Shu was discussing matters with the generals in the county government. Huang Zhong, Su Fei, Wu Xiong, Zhou Cang and Liu Pan all stood bowed and waited for Xu Shu's instructions.
Xu Shu looked at Su Fei and said: "There is a canyon to the west of Xiushui County, which is the only road between Xiushui County and Ai County. General Su, you lead two thousand soldiers and horses to lie down on both sides of the canyon, and prepare as many rolling logs and boulders as possible.
If you find Jiangdong's army passing by, wait until half of the army is over and attack them. You must defeat Jiangdong's army. As long as it is defeated and not pursued, return to Xiushui County immediately."
Su Fei immediately came out and said: "No." After saying that, he quietly left the city with two thousand soldiers and horses.
Xu Shuyou turned his head and looked at Wu Xiong and said: "You go to Jiangdong Camp on my behalf. The details will be as stated in this letter." After saying that, he took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to Wu Xiong. Wu Xiong took the bamboo slip and faced Xu Shuyou.
He bowed and left.
Xu Shu looked at Huang Zhong and Liu Pan again: "General Huang, please lead five thousand soldiers and horses to guard the city gate. Don't let Jiangdong's army attack the city." Then he said to Zhou Cang: "General Zhou, please lead two thousand soldiers and horses to lie in wait in the city.
After the Jiangdong army arrives, you go to rob the camp, remember to rob the camp during the day."
"No." Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang accepted the order and retreated. Liu Pan on the side couldn't help but said: "Military advisor, why do others have missions, but I, Feng Shi Battalion, don't have one?"
Xu Shu smiled and said: "Who said Fengya Camp has no mission?"
Liu Pan suddenly became energetic and looked at Xu Shu excitedly. Xu Shu shook his head and said with a smile: "You take two thousand soldiers and horses and the Fengya Battalion to secretly go outside the city and hide in the forest five miles south of Xiushui County. When you see Xiu
When the war starts in Shui County, beat drums in the forest. In addition, you lead two thousand soldiers and horses to attack the rear of Zhou Yu's army. You must not be reluctant to fight. Once Jiangdong's army retreats, you cannot pursue it."
"No." Liu Pan said solemnly. He would remember the lesson learned last time and would not make the same mistake.
Seeing Liu Pan leaving, Xu Shu thought about getting up and leaving, and mobilized the last thousand soldiers and horses to the county government just in case.
Outside Xiushui County, Wu Xiong rushed towards Jiangdong camp with dozens of soldiers holding talismans. The ten-mile journey was approaching in a blink of an eye. It was not until dozens of steps away from the far gate of Jiangdong camp that Jiangdong soldiers shouted: "Who are you?"
People are not allowed to move forward or else they will be shot without mercy."
Wu Xiong raised his hand and dozens of soldiers behind him also stopped. Wu Xiong said to the far gate: "I have been ordered by my military advisor to discuss something important with your general and report it quickly."
The young general walked out of the camp gate and glanced at Wu Xiong and said, "Wait here for me to report."
In the big tent, Zhou Yuzheng, Taishi Ci, and Han Dang discussed the recovery of Xiushui and Ai County. Han Dang looked at the map and said: "Grand Governor, our army of 30,000 troops can completely recover the two counties in one fell swoop. Then General Xu Shumo will not
However, the few generals in Ai County are not paying attention to them. With only 5,000 soldiers and horses, the generals can capture Ai County and capture those few little guys."
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Then Ai County has been built almost the same as You County. There are still five thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Ai County. It is impossible for five thousand soldiers and horses to capture Ai County." Zhou Yu made no mistake.
Didn't give Han any face.
When Han Dang heard Zhou Yu's words, his expression changed and he didn't say anything. He was naturally aware of Zhou Yu's temper. Although Zhou Yu was usually gentle and elegant, he was no softer than those generals once he arrived in the camp. Jiangdong's generals had already adapted to Zhou Yu's character.
, he did not expect that in just a few days, Ai County would receive an additional two thousand soldiers and horses, and Ai County would also be rebuilt.
Zhou Yu ignored Han Dang and looked at Ai County and continued: "It is not impossible to capture two counties at once. As long as Xiushui County is successfully captured, Xu Shu will definitely ask for help from Xiushui County. As long as Ai County is empty,
Once the army has pressed forward, Ai County can be captured in one fell swoop." After saying that, he looked at Taishi Ci and said, "General Taishi, you can lead 10,000 troops to Ai County tonight. You don't have to attack the city. You just need to lie outside Ai County. When you see Ai County,
After the troops leave the city, they will attack Ai County."
Taishi Ci immediately said: "No."
After saying that, he was about to go and gather 10,000 soldiers and horses and get ready, when he saw a young general running in and said: "General, Xiushui County has sent an envoy. Do you want to let me go?"
"Oh." Zhou Yu was also a little surprised. The army was about to fight, so Xu Shu actually sent an envoy here. Could it be that he came to declare a war? Thinking of this, Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Let him in."
"No." Not long after the young general left, Wu Xiong arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
Wu Xiong looked at Zhou Yu, who was younger than the rumors, and said, "I have been ordered by my family's military advisor to come and discuss matters with Governor Zhou."
Seeing that Wu Xiong was not here to issue a letter of war, Zhou Yu was stunned, but then said: "I wonder what Military Advisor Xu wants to discuss with this governor?"
Wu Xiong glanced at Tai Shi Ci and Han Dang who were standing aside and said without concealing it: "I came here on orders from the military advisor to negotiate peace with the governor."
"Negotiating peace?" Zhou Yu was a little confused. Even Taishi Ci and Han Dang on the side were confused. When did Jingzhou and Jiangdong negotiate for peace? If peace could be resolved, would they still have to fight for so many years?
