The famous soldier sat around the campfire, eating listlessly. The scene of being humiliated by Yan Jun during the day still lingered in his mind.
In the big tent, Zhou Yu's expression was not much better either.
Although Zhou Yu was persuaded by Pan Zhang and did not pursue Yan Liang impulsively, his anger only increased.
At this time, Zhou Yu was frowning deeply, thinking about how to take revenge on Yan Liang next.
At present, Zhou Yu's capital is not much, and the only direct troops he can use are more than 10,000 naval troops and a few hundred warships.
Although there are still more than 10,000 Wu troops in Huainan, the command is in the hands of Cheng Pu, and it is still unknown whether Cheng Pu will listen to his own arrangements.
Moreover, Cheng Pu's troops are currently being restrained by Yan's army in the north. Even if they are willing to obey his orders, they will have no time to escape.
This means that if Zhou Yu wants to defeat Yan Liang, he can only rely on the 10,000 troops at hand.
"Commander, we only have ten thousand troops. It will be difficult to defeat Yan's army," Pan Zhang reminded.
Zhou Yu snorted disdainfully, "So what if there are 10,000 people? As long as I use it properly, it's no problem to defeat that thief."
When he said this, Zhou Yu himself felt a little guilty, but he knew that now all the three armies were suffering from serious "face phobia". Under such unfavorable circumstances, as the coach, he had to pretend to be strong.
of confidence.
Zhou Yu had said something big, so he had no choice but to keep it up. He pretended to be confident, put his hands behind his back, and walked in front of the hanging map, thinking about ways to defeat the enemy.
At this moment, a pro-soldier hurriedly came in and said in a panic: "This is to inform the Governor of Hefei, Mr. Lu, that General Zhang Liao of the Yan Army is leading his infantry and cavalry to advance from Wan County to Lu'an. The situation on the front line in Hefei is dangerous. Mr. Lu please call."
The governor quickly sent reinforcements to rescue us."
Zhou Yu's expression changed after hearing this, and he rushed to the map, swiping it with his fingers a few times, and his expression became more and more frightened.
From Anhui County, go north along the Wan River and cross the eastern edge of the Dabie Mountains to attack Lu'an City. Lu'an City is close to Hefei. If Lu'an falls, Hefei will be in danger.
At present, Cheng Pu's troops and horses are all gathered on the Shouchun line. The troops and horses of Hefei Ling Lu Dai and other local officials are only a thousand county soldiers, which is simply not enough to resist Zhang Liao's elite infantry and cavalry.
If Lu'an falls and Hefei is lost again, then the waterway from Ruxukou to Shouchun will be cut off, and Zhou Yu's 10,000 navy troops will be trapped in the narrow area of Jiangbei around Ruxukou.
middle.
Zhou Yu's thoughts raced and he suddenly understood.
He finally understood why Yan Liang, who had the power of a great victory and more than 30,000 elite naval troops on the south bank, had stood still for several days in a row and not taken the initiative to attack his own 10,000 soldiers with low morale.
It turned out that Yan Liang had already thought of a strategy to retreat without any bloodshed.
"Thief, so treacherous——"
Zhou Yu fell into the trap again. He was angry and resentful, and gnashed his teeth and cursed secretly.
"Commander, if there is a loss in Hefei, not only our army, but also the entire Huainan will be in danger. General, please lead an army to the north to help. We will defend Lu'an to the death and never let Hefei be in any danger."
The city of Lu'an was strong, and with Pan Zhang's ability, it was no problem to defend the city with thousands of troops.
Zhou Yu did not agree immediately, but fell into silence.
"Commander, it is not too late, there must be no delay. Please make a decision quickly, Commander." Pan Zhang became a little anxious when he saw that Zhou Yu was still hesitant.
After a long silence, Zhou Yu's frown gradually disappeared, and instead he put on a relaxed expression as if he was relieved.
He waved his hand slightly and said calmly: "Give me the order to break camp tomorrow and withdraw all the troops north to Hefei."
All troops retreat north?
Pan Zhang, who was overjoyed at first, fell into confusion again after hearing these words.
"Commander, the whole army has withdrawn, how many troops and horses are left to guard Ruxukou?" Pan Zhang asked doubtfully.
Zhou Yu said coldly: "The whole army retreats north, and naturally no soldiers will be left behind. If Yan Liang and the dog thief want this Ruxukou, I will give it to him."
Abandon Ruxukou!
Pan Zhang was shocked when he heard this, but he did not expect Zhou Yu to make such a decision.
You must know that Ruxukou is currently the only channel connecting Jiangbei and Jiangnan. If this mouth is given to Yan Jun, it means that the entire Yangzhou will be cut into two parts by Yan Liang, and the Wu troops in the north and south will fall into separate battles.
situation.
Moreover, once Yan Liang captures Ruxukou, he will completely eliminate the threat from the back road, and then he can use all his troops to attack the Wuhu Fortress. However, Lu Su's troops in Wuhu only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so how can they withstand Yan Liang's several times more troops on land and water?
The combined attack of the army.
If Wuhu Fortress is lost, Moling's last barrier will collapse, and the entire Sun family's foundation will be in jeopardy.
Zhou Yu's move was tantamount to driving Sun Quan to death.
"Commander, if we abandon Ruxukou, what will my lord do?" Pan Zhang asked hurriedly.
Zhou Yu snorted coldly, "Since my lord does not trust this governor, but he trusts Lu Zijing so much, the heavy responsibility of protecting my lord falls to Lu Zijing. My current mission is to defend Huainan."
Zhou Yu's words did not hide his resentment towards Sun Quan.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was obvious. He, Zhou Yu, wanted to abandon Sun Quan and take control of Huainan to defend himself.
Pan Zhang was shocked and stood there without saying a word.
Although Pan Zhang and other generals were loyal to Zhou Yu, the real lord was still Sun Quan. Now that he was about to turn his back on Sun Quan, how could he overcome this hurdle in his heart?
How could Zhou Yu fail to see Pan Zhang's complicated psychology? He gently stroked Pan Zhang's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter has come to an end, I will not hide it from you. My lord is unjust. He is self-willed and listens to slander.
You will suffer today's defeat. If I continue to be foolishly loyal to him, there is only one way to die, and I will bring you all to death together. Therefore, I have decided to support Huainan and defend ourselves."
Zhou Yu's tone was resolute, clearly showing great determination.
"Captain..." Pan Zhang was emotional and didn't know how to respond.
Zhou Yu looked Pan Zhang squarely in the eyes and asked seriously: "I want to know right now, whether you and the generals are willing to follow me, Zhou Yu, or whether you are willing to continue to work for that mediocre master."
Pan Zhang's body trembled, and he knew that it was time to take sides.
After only hesitating for a moment, Pan Zhang's expression immediately became determined, and he cupped his hands and said: "If the general had not been appreciated by the governor, how could he be where he is today? We, the generals, are all willing to follow the governor to the death."
Pan Zhang expressed his loyalty, and Zhou Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked satisfied.
At this time, Pan Zhang remembered something again and said hurriedly: "Although I am willing to follow the governor, General Cheng of Shouchun is a veteran of the Sun family for three generations. He must be loyal to the Sun family. I am afraid that he will not
He obeys the governor, and General Cheng holds Shouchun. In name, Hefei and other places in Huainan also obey his command. The general is only afraid of..."
When Pan Zhang wanted to continue talking, Zhou Yu interrupted his worries with a confident smile.
"Starting tomorrow, under the banner of my governor, you will slowly retreat to Hefei. I will lead an army of my own and go to Shouchun overnight. I will unexpectedly seize Cheng Pu's military power. By then, the military and political power in Huainan will be in my hands.
The connection with Jiangnan has been cut off by Yan Liang, and the generals are desperate. Are we afraid that they will not obey the governor?"
Zhou Yu already had a clever plan.
Pan Zhang suddenly realized that the remaining hesitation was all gone in the blink of an eye because of Zhou Yu's clever plan.
"The Commander-in-Chief has a clever plan. It's true that the general will follow him to the death. Governor, rest assured that the general will go through fire and water for the Commander-in-Chief and he will not hesitate to do so."
Listening to Pan Zhang's generous expression of loyalty, Zhou Yu smiled proudly, and in his mind, he began to think about a blueprint.
…
Zheqi City.
On the moon's brow, birds are singing and cicadas are singing quietly.
With a trophy of tens of thousands of arrows, Yan Liang was so happy that he personally sent Xiao Qiao to a house in the county.
Stepping into the courtyard, Yan Liang pointed to this rather simple house and said with a faint smile: "Mrs. Qiao, please rest here for the next few days. After I take Moling, madam can go back to her high gate.
hospital."
"Thank you so much, General." Xiao Qiao thanked him in a low voice.
Looking through the moonlight, the color on Xiao Qiao's face has not faded, and her moist lips are slightly red and swollen, so her speech is somewhat unclear.
Yan Liang stretched out his hand and held up Xiao Qiao's pointed chin, admiring her stunning face with endless interest.
Seeing those red lips, the thrilling scene in the cabin couldn't help but come to mind again, and the majestic face with a sharp knife could not help but flash an evil smile.
Xiao Qiao knew what he was thinking, and suddenly blushed, and turned his face away in embarrassment, too shy to look into Yan Liang's wanton eyes.
"Madam, please have a good rest and recharge your batteries. I will visit my wife another day."
After saying this, Yan Liang laughed loudly, turned around and walked away.
Xiao Qiao watched Yan Liang leave. When the courtyard door closed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Her slender fingers subconsciously touched the aching mouth, and in her mind, the thrilling scene appeared in her mind.
That kind of painful but heart-stopping feeling was something I had never experienced before.
Although she felt humiliated and ashamed, for some reason, she still felt a bit greedy deep in her heart.
"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, how can you be so shameless? You are a member of a famous family. You must never think about those dirty things again..."
Xiao Qiao warned herself secretly, sighed, twisted her plump waist, and walked into the room.
When Yan Liang returned to his temporary military residence, his third wife, Ma Yunlu, had already prepared dinner and was waiting for a long time.
After Yan Liang was full of wine and food, he was in a good mood, so he had sex with Ma Yunlu again and had a good time.
The next day he slept until three o'clock in the morning before Yan Liang got up and went to the camp on the south bank to meet with the generals.
As soon as Fang entered the tent, he saw that Gan Ning and other generals had all gathered together, and they were all extremely excited.
"Lord..." When Lu Meng saw Yan Liang entering, he was so excited that he wanted to report something.
Yan Liang waved his hand, interrupted him, and said with a slight smile: "Wait a minute, look at the happy faces of all of you. If my guess is correct, the Wu army in Ruxukou should have withdrawn and escaped."
The generals were shocked when they heard this and looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
"My lord is really good at predicting events, but I don't know how my lord could have predicted that Zhou Yu would withdraw his troops and flee?" Lu Mengqi said.
Yan Liang sat down carelessly and said disapprovingly: "Didn't I tell you earlier that I have a clever plan that can easily capture Ruxukou without using any soldiers?"
The generals in the tent couldn't help but be more surprised when they remembered the past. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
