In Liyang City, 200,000 Jiangdong troops have gradually gathered here from Jianye across the river. After hearing in shock that Lu Bu commanded the Xuzhou army to massacre a million people in Shouchun, Sun Quan and Sun Ce quickly adjusted their tactics and stationed the army here without moving.
Wait for the time to change.
The Sun brothers, who have been on the battlefield for a long time, understand better than anyone else how terrifying and crazy an army with the power of killing can be. If the Jiangdong Army goes north to seize Yangzhou land at this time, it will definitely become the next target of Lu Bu's cruel hunting. Even
At this moment, Sun Quan was ready to retreat to avoid the edge of the Xuzhou Army, relying on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to prevent Lu Bu's Xuzhou Army from continuing southward.
In fact, if it were not for the strong opposition of Zhou Yu, the land and water commander of Jiangdong Army, I am afraid that at least half of the main force of Jiangdong Army would have retreated to the south of the Yangtze River.
An extremely exquisite mansion in Liyang City has been requisitioned as the temporary governor's mansion of the Jiangdong Army. Naturally, the person living in the mansion is the talented Qingtong who made Qin Yang so embarrassed at the beginning. However, Qingtong has since surrendered to Sun Quan.
, has been changed back to its original name - Zhou Yu.
But this man, who was so dazzling and talented throughout the Three Kingdoms period, felt extremely heavy at the moment. From the hangings outside the temporary governor's mansion, anyone could tell that the owner of the mansion was in mourning.
Ordinarily, the Governor-General Zhou Yu was in mourning, and the entire Jiangdong, from Wuhou Sun Ce down to the lieutenants of the army, should have paid their respects to him to express their condolences. But now, in front of the palace gate, the courtyard is deserted and quiet.
The reason for this is not that Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, has lost power. It is just that the person Zhou Yu cares about now is not his relative, and Zhou Yu does not want anyone to come to comfort him. Before the mourning began in the mansion, he had already submitted a memorial
Sun Ce, the Marquis of Wu, also strictly ordered his officers and soldiers in the three armies that no one should come to the mansion to pay their respects.
Incense smoke was lingering, and the white silk was like a waterfall. A huge nanmu coffin was placed neatly in the lobby of the mansion. On the incense table in front of the coffin, there was the spiritual tablet of the deceased - "the tablet of Chen Gong, the lay scholar of Huashan".
Even in Jiangdong, only a few people, including the Sun brothers, knew about the relationship between Zhou Yu and Chen Gong. Everyone in the world only knew that Chen Gong, a layman in Huashan, had a disciple named Qingtong. But they did not know that this Qingtong was the elder of Jiangdong.
Governor Zhou Yu. This is one of the reasons why Zhou Yu does not want anyone to come to pay homage.
At the same time as the Shouchun Massacre began, Zhou Yu felt an extremely mysterious force suddenly pouring into his body. Having followed Chen Gong for many years, he only understood in an instant that he had obtained the power of the Dunjia Heavenly Book and Earth Scroll.
, and it was also at this time that he began to pay homage to Chen Gong in his mansion.
The ability of the Dunjia Heavenly Book has always been inherited from the same source. Even if they practice the same Heavenly Book, but before the first person with this ability has died, the remaining practitioners will not get the power of the Dunjia Heavenly Book. That is,
It is said that before the fall of Chen Gong, although Zhou Yu had practiced the Dunjia Heavenly Book, he could only exert the power of an ordinary spell master to control the earth's veins, and this ability was closer to Ma Yuanyi's earth-attribute spell technique.
But after Chen Gong completely fell, Zhou Yu, the only person in the world who had practiced Dunjia Heavenly Book and Earthly Scroll, became the owner of this power. After he got the exact news of the Shouchun Massacre, he fully understood
The reason why Chen Gong fell.
"Master, why are you willing to risk your life to help Lu Bu do such an outrageous thing..." In the empty mourning hall, Zhou Yu, who was fully clothed in mourning, looked at Chen Gong's tomb and muttered to himself.
self-mumbling.
He knew how Chen Gong died, but no matter how talented he was, he still couldn't figure out why Chen Gong was like this. For him, Chen Gong had treated him like a disciple and a son for many years. If it were said here
If there is anyone else in the world who Zhou Yu can care about, apart from the Marquis of Wu whom he has sworn allegiance to, the only one he can care about is Chen Gong, his teacher.
"Giving up the power of the Dunjia Heavenly Book, two million souls were devastated, causing the gods and demons to retreat... This was definitely not Mr. Gongtai's original intention. It was actually done by Mr. Gongtai as a last resort..." Suddenly, a faint sigh sounded like a gentle breeze.
Usually, the wind blows through the mourning hall, and the white silk swaying the lamps and candles. Even if it is daytime, this scene can't help but make ordinary people shudder.
But how can Zhou Yu be an ordinary person? After hearing this voice, Zhou Yu's eyebrows moved slightly, and the sad look on his face slightly faded. A cold light flashed in his eyes instantly. The corners of his eyes were already raised to both sides, and in this way
Anyone who looks at him will feel cold and cold.
"I wonder which master is visiting my humble residence? If it's a friend, you can come out to meet me. If it's just a pretentious person, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place."
"Haha, Mr. Qingtong, there is no need to be angry. Zhuge Kongming, a mountain man, has taken the liberty of visiting. Please forgive me, sir..." A chuckle sounded, and a figure slowly walked out from behind the white silk curtain, shaking the feather fan in his hand, with a smile on his face.
It is none other than Mr. Wolong, Zhuge Kongming.
"Mr. Wolong Zhuge Liang? What are you doing here? In addition, what you practice is the Heavenly Scroll of Dunjia Heavenly Book?" Zhou Yu asked lightly with his eyes slightly narrowed and the cold light in his eyes not diminishing.
Zhuge Liang smiled softly, waved the feather fan in his hand, and said calmly: "I just want to tell you the real cause of death of Mr. Gongtai, your master..."
"In the third year of the founding of Emperor Xian'an of the Han Empire, all the Yellow Turban troops after the strike in Jingzhou withdrew from Luoyang. The main force in Runan was mobilized as reinforcements from Hanzhong, with a total of 500,000 horse and infantry troops. They marched eastward and arrived directly through Yuzhou.
An Fengjin. At the same time, Cao Cao of the North, who suddenly announced an alliance with the Yellow Turban Army, also mobilized 700,000 troops from the east county of Yanzhou and stationed himself in Jiuli Mountain to look at Xuzhou. Soon after, the Jiangdong Army issued a proclamation in response to Qinyang and Cao Cao's two
After raising an army of 200,000 from Liyang, they captured the important town of Tuzhong in Yangzhou within a few days, and formed a pincer attack with the Qinyang army to deter Shouchun. At this point, the three princes launched a crusade against Lü Bu. Lü Bu finally committed crimes due to the brutal massacre of the city.
The public was angry, causing the princes of the world to join forces to attack." - "The Biography of the Three Kingdoms"
Anfengjin is located at the intersection of Huaihe River and Yingshui River. Not long ago, after the world-famous golden dome tent was erected, this place with half a mountain and half water has become famous all over the world.
"Oh? So Sun Quan is also interested in getting involved? Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to get a piece of the pie? I'm afraid he doesn't know the dangers of this battle, right?" In the golden-domed tent, Qin Yang general Jiangdong
He put the remonstrance on the desk and said calmly.
The current situation is that Cao Cao's army is 700,000, the Yellow Turban Army is 500,000, and Jiangdong's Army is 200,000, and almost all of them are elite soldiers. The three princes have raised a total of 1.4 million troops. Looking at the whole world, it can face such a situation.
I am afraid there are no princes who are not afraid of a large army. Almost everyone thinks that Lu Bu, who only owns Xuzhou and half of Yangzhou, will be crushed and annihilated by the coalition forces. But Qin Yang knows that if this is really the case
To put it simply, I'm afraid there is no need for me to be willing to give up Luoyang and join forces with Cao Cao.
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. How could my lord join the war rashly without knowing the dangers of this battle? On the contrary, the reason why my lord sent troops to fight against the thieves was because he knew the dangers of this battle against Lu Bu.
Let the world take the lead and send troops to help." In the golden-domed tent, a middle-aged scribe wearing a long robe and with an extremely elegant appearance said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Qin Yang raised his eyelids and said calmly: "Zhang Zhao, since you know the dangers of this battle. Then I have to ask you, what are the dangers of this battle?"
The envoy sent by Sun Quan to Qin Yang this time was Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu, a famous scholar from Jiangdong and a minister of Jiangdong. When Zhang Zhao saw Qin Yang asking about it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Reporting to His Majesty the King of Ming, my Lord Shen
We know that although the war between the princes caused the people of the world to be displaced, it was the way to chaos first and then to rule. However, Lu Bu's rebellion was related to the life, death, honor and disgrace of the people in the world. Human chaos can eventually be cured, but demon chaos will kill all the people.
ah……"
"Oh?!" Qin Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard what Zhang Zhao said. He didn't expect Zhang Zhao to know so much. Since Zhang Zhao already knew, then Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others must also have known this.
Thing. How did they know?!
Seeing Qin Yang's expression change, Zhang Zhao already knew what Qin Yang was thinking, so he continued: "In addition to asking me to bring a message to His Highness, my lord also wants to recommend someone to my lord..."
"Who do you recommend?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, Cao's Army in the North, Your Highness's Yellow Turban Army, and our Jiangdong Army should fight against Lu Bu with the same enemy. Since they are an alliance of three armies, they cannot fight independently. The ones my Lord wants to recommend to Your Highness are the ones from these three armies.
Governor General."
"Governor-General?" Qin Yang was startled for a moment, then snorted and said, "Could it be that the candidate for the Governor-General of the three armies mentioned by Mr. Zhang Zhao is not the Governor of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu?"
As soon as Qin Yang said this, the Yellow Turban Army generals in the Golden Summit tent couldn't help but chuckle. Although they had never fought against Zhou Yu, they had all heard of Zhou Yu's name. Ever since the Sun brothers returned to Jiangdong
After that, Zhou Yu became the backbone of the Sun family. In the battle to unify Jiangdong, all the battles commanded by Zhou Yu were completely victorious and he was never defeated.
But even so, in the hearts of these Yellow Turban generals, they always believed that the reason why Zhou Yu was invincible was because he had not encountered a truly powerful opponent. After all, the small princes in Jiangdong and Qinyang, Cao Cao, and even Gongsun Zan
Liu Biao and others were inferior in comparison. Therefore, Zhou Yu's title of victorious general was too inadequate.
Zhang Zhao also heard the sarcasm in Qin Yang's words, but he said calmly without changing his expression: "Reporting to Your Highness, although the Governor of Zhou has planned strategies and is invincible in battles, he has no intention of serving as the governor-general of the three armies. My Lord's Office
The person recommended is neither the Governor of Zhou nor a member of any of our three-party coalition forces. I believe His Highness also knows the name of this person. He is the famous man who works hard in Nanyang and lies high in Wollongong, Mr. Zhuge Kongming.
.”
"Zhuge Liang?!" After Zhang Zhao said this name, Qin Yang's heart was moved. He never expected that Sun Quan would actually propose that Zhuge Liang be the so-called governor-general of the three armies.
