Ten thousand Wu troops are stationed here. Their morale is low and they are in shock. This is the true portrayal of Wu Jun's situation now.
In the Chinese army's tent, Zhou Yu looked gloomy and stared motionlessly at the piece of information in his hand.
That was an urgent report from Wan County.
Wan County was captured by Yan's army within half a day, Jiang Qin surrendered to Yan, and his wife Xiao Qiao also fell into Yan Liang's hands.
The fall of Wan County and Jiang Qin's surrender were all within Zhou Yu's expectation, but Xiao Qiao's fall at the hands of thieves surprised Zhou Yu greatly.
Zhou Yu knew very well how his beautiful concubine would be treated if she fell into the hands of Yan Liang.
This picture even appeared in Zhou Yu’s mind:
Yan Liang, that dog thief, was standing there majestically, while his own woman, Xiao Qiao, was crawling there naked, succumbing to that dog thief's coercion, and letting the dog thief ravage her...
A sore and painful feeling pierced Zhou Yu's heart like a needle.
He shook his head violently, trying his best to get rid of all his idle thoughts, and it took him a while to recover.
Then, a sense of complaint came to my heart.
"Why didn't you choose to commit suicide to save your reputation, but let yourself fall into the hands of that thug Yan Liang? Why do you want to shame the reputation of my dignified Mizhouro——"
Zhou Yu secretly gritted his teeth, his resentment getting stronger.
Just as Zhou Yu was gritting his teeth, the curtain was lifted and Pan Zhang stepped into the tent.
Zhou Yu immediately put away the anger on his face and quickly restored his calm and confident expression.
"Captain, just now Yan Liang sent someone to deliver this letter, which he said was written by Madam."
Zhou Yu's expression changed and he looked at Pan Zhang fiercely.
Pan Zhang did not dare to look at Zhou Yu, so he lowered his head and carefully presented the letter with both hands.
Since my woman fell into the hands of Yan Liang, why can I still write to myself? Could it be that Yan Liang wants to use Xiao Qiao to threaten me?
Zhou Yu frowned secretly, his arms trembled slightly, and he took the letter full of suspicion.
I opened it and took a closer look. It was indeed Xiao Qiao's personal letter.
However, the content of the letter surprised Zhou Yu.
In the letter, Xiao Qiao did not reveal any intention of being threatened, but just reported to him that he was safe and told him not to worry about her as usual.
It meant that she was very happy staying at Yan Liang's place and didn't need to worry about herself at all.
Zhou Yu's face gradually darkened.
He would rather Xiao Qiao cried in the letter and complained about how Yan Liang treated her roughly, and how Yan Liang even used her life to threaten her to surrender. In that case, he would feel better.
But now, the way my woman is treated is completely opposite to what I imagined.
It seemed that she had already submitted to Yan Liang and was enjoying it.
Zhou Yu's clever mind made up all these speculations from Xiao Qiao's letter.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Zhou Yu suddenly tore the letter in his hand into pieces angrily.
"Bitch-"
Among the debris flying all over the tent, Zhou Yu squeezed out these two words coldly.
The word "bitch" was clearly meant to scold Xiao Qiao, but Pan Zhang couldn't recognize it, which made him surprised.
You must know that although Zhou Yu had a head wife, he doted on Xiao Qiao a lot after taking her as his concubine. In the eyes of others, Xiao Qiao seemed to have the status of a head wife.
But now, Zhou Yu cruelly called Xiao Qiao a "bitch". Even Pan Zhang, an outsider and subordinate, was a little surprised.
"Madam is in the enemy's hands. I'm afraid she has no choice but to ask the governor to calm down." Pan Zhang advised in a low voice.
"There are precedents for Liu Biao's wife and Liu Bei's wife. If she cared about my reputation, Zhou Yu, she should have ended her on the spot, so that she would not be in the hands of the enemy!"
Zhou Yu's tone was cold and full of resentment.
Pan Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that Zhou Yu would say such cold and heartless words, but soon, Pan Zhang fell silent and realized Zhou Yu's difficulties.
At that time, the two wives of the Liu family, Mrs. Cai, fell into the hands of Yan Liang, and ended up becoming Yan Liang's plaything. Mrs. Cai even used a nude portrait of herself to make Liu Biao angry to death.
And Liu Bei's two wives also fell into the hands of Yan Liang, but they were designed by Yan Liang to force Liu Bei to write a letter of divorce and became the object of laughter in the world.
Various precedents have proved that Yan Liang is a lecherous person, and any enemy's wife or daughter falling into his hands will not have good consequences. Yan Liang will try every means to make his enemies ashamed.
Zhou Yu often told Xiao Qiao in an indignant tone about Yan Liang's evil deeds. How could Xiao Qiao not remember them?
In this case, she should know that as long as she falls into Yan Liang's hands, she will become Yan Liang's plaything and be used by Yan Liang to humiliate him, Zhou Yu.
Therefore, in Zhou Yu's opinion, if Xiao Qiao really respected and loved his husband and really understood the general situation, he should die to preserve his reputation and preserve the reputation of the Zhou family.
The cruel fact is that Xiao Qiao not only chose to live a poor life, but also revised the book himself, which in turn humiliated Zhou Yu.
With all these factors, how could Zhou Yu not be resentful?
"well--"
Pan Zhang sighed softly, as if he was sad that Zhou Yu's reputation had been damaged, and he seemed to sympathize with Xiao Qiao's experience.
After sighing for a moment, Pan Zhang asked cautiously: "Captain, no matter what, my wife has indeed fallen into Yan Liang's hands. I don't know how the governor plans to deal with it."
Zhou Yu paced in the tent, frowning in deep thought, thinking about how to deal with it.
"I, Zhou Yu, am not Liu Bei or Liu Biao. How can I bring shame to Mizhouro's reputation because of a woman..."
Zhou Yu paced for a long time, then suddenly stopped, a somewhat mysterious sneer appeared on his handsome face.
…
The river wind blew, and the fleet sailed along the river towards the east.
The sky is high and the clouds are far away, with green mountains and green fields on both sides of the bank, and the scenery is endless.
Jiangdong is indeed a fertile land.
Yan Liang stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his hands, admiring the river scenery and the scenery, his heart filled with pride.
Starting from Wankou, passing through Hulin, Nanling, and Linhu counties, a large area of land along the river has been included in Yan Liang's territory.
The 10,000 elite troops led by Huang Zhong have captured Lingyang, Anwu, Xuancheng and other counties in the south of Danyang County, and are marching toward Moling City from the land.
Yan Liang's troops have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong and are using a powerful offensive to advance towards Moling, Sun Quan's confidant in the ruling area.
The boat was moving faster, and there were gradually more ships on the river ahead. In the afternoon, Yan Liang, escorted by the Tiger Guards, arrived at Zheqi City on the south bank of the river.
Zheqi City is a small city on the south bank, with a population of only a few thousand, but it faces Ruxukou on the other side of the river, so its geographical location is quite important.
In order to prevent their retreat from being cut off by Zhou Yu's Wu army in the north of the Yangtze River, the more than 30,000 naval troops led by Lu Meng and others suspended their march to Moling and established a temporary flood and drought camp relying on Zheqi City.
Yan Liang could not give Sun Quan too much breathing space, so as soon as he received Lu Meng's battle report, he quickly set off from Wan County and rushed to the front line to take control of the situation personally.
Entering the water camp by ship, Lü Meng and other navy generals were already waiting at the trestle.
When Yan Liang disembarked from the ship and met with the generals, it was natural that he would commend and praise these generals for their hard work and merit.
Then, Yan Liang personally visited the camps, condoled with his brave soldiers, and visited the injured soldiers.
Yan Liang's arrival made the already vigorous soldiers of the three armies even more excited, and the entire Zheqi camp soon fell into an uproar of joy.
After the inspection, Yan Liang went to Zheqi City to stay not far from the camp.
Lu Meng accompanied him into the city and said as he walked: "My lord, Zhou Yu has troops at Ruxukou. The general thought that he should concentrate his troops first, capture Ruxukou and clear the way back, before he can raise his troops and attack Lu Su in Wuhu."
Yan Liang shook his head and smiled, "Ziming, there is no need to worry. In a few days, I predict that Zhou Yu will abandon Ruxukou and evacuate to Huainan."
Lu Meng was surprised, guessing that his lord must have a clever plan. Just when he was about to ask, he saw a horse galloping towards him.
"For your information, my lord, the envoy has just brought back Zhou Yu's reply letter. Please read it, lord."
Yan Liang took the letter, opened it and looked at it, but he smiled.
Just when Lu Meng was curious about why Yan Liang laughed because of Zhou Yu's letter, another scout came galloping towards him.
"The report took the initiative, and Jiangbei Xiaozuo sent back information. It was said that the Wu people who were so humble suddenly began to express their condolences in silence."
I express my condolences!
Lu Meng and other generals were all taken aback, except Yan Liang, whose eyes moved as if he had expected it.
"Why are the people of Wu so silent and mourning? Who died?" Lu Meng asked hurriedly.
"It is said that the people of Wu were mourning for Zhou Yu's wife Qiao. Everyone in Wu knew that Qiao committed suicide when she was defeated in Wan County. Zhou Yu was grateful for her loyalty and ordered the whole army to mourn for her to inspire people."
Hearing this explanation, the generals were shocked again, and all their eyes looked at Yan Liang.
Lu Meng and others were all surprised. Zhou Yu's wife obviously fell into the hands of his lord, but why did Zhou Yu mourn for a person who was not dead and also claimed that his wife committed suicide and died for the country?
Yan Liang looked at the letter in his hand and then heard the scout's report. At this time, Yan Liang had already seen through Zhou Yu's thoughts.
"Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, you are really heartless..."
He didn't say anything, just sneered and rode towards Zheqi City.
After resting for one night that day, Yan Liang went to Shuiying at dawn the next day, got on the warship, and claimed that he wanted to conduct an on-the-spot investigation of Wuying at Ruxukou on the other side.
The captured flagship of the building ship slowly left the camp, escorted by dozens of large and small warships, and sailed towards Wu Camp on the other side.
Yan Liang stood on the upper deck, looking at the other side from a distance, and sure enough he saw that Wu Ying was completely white.
Light footsteps sounded, the hatch opened, and Xiao Qiao, who looked uneasy, stepped onto the deck.
As soon as he saw the mournful Wu Ying on the other side, Xiao Qiao's stunning face revealed a hint of suspicion.
"I don't know what General Yan means by bringing me here?" Xiao Qiao said blankly.
"Zhou Yu has already replied to Madam's letter last time. Please take a look, Madam." With that said, Yan Liang took out a silk letter from his sleeve.
When Xiao Qiao heard that her husband had replied to the letter, she suddenly felt happy and hurriedly snatched the silk book.
The handwriting on the letter couldn't be more familiar. It was indeed Zhou Lang's handwriting.
Xiao Qiao felt as if she had found a treasure. She looked at it carefully with joy. She thought it would be the care and greetings from her husband. Unexpectedly, there were only a few lines in the letter:
"Yan Liang, the dog thief, you forced my beloved concubine to death. If Zhou Yu doesn't avenge this hatred, I will never be a human being!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
