"Okay." At this moment, Zhou Yu was once again proud, Cheng Pu stepped forward with some concern and said, "Grandmaster, Cheng Pu is willing to fight to the end with you, but has the Governor thought about it? No matter whether he can conquer Baichuan, the Governor will disobey one after another.
Military order, what will happen if you go back?"
"Don't worry, the veteran general, Zhou Yu will pay attention to it."
The soldiers retreated, Zhou Yu clenched his fists. Of course he knew what Cheng Pu meant. It would be fine if Sun Quan could still hold absolute power now, but now Jiangdong is obviously dominated by the peace faction. No matter how martial, it is the peace faction.
The person.
If these pro-people and sects go back, they will definitely suppress themselves by using this disobedience. I don’t know what the charge would be. The aristocratic tribes were afraid of being beaten by the Sichuan Army this time, and they will no longer allow the pro-people and sects to exist.
To weaken the war-winning faction, one must be eliminated first.
But Zhou Yu is not afraid. Even if he dies, he will take down Shirakawa and allow Jiangdong to gain a certain advantage in the subsequent negotiations or wars.
Now the Jiangdong Army's fighting spirit is even stronger, and he attacked Shirakawa City with great pressure. Fa Zheng even felt that it was even more powerful than before, and barely blocked the Jiangdong Army for one day. Fa Zheng showed deep worries.
If the Jiangdong Army still attacks so desperately tomorrow, and before Zhou Tai comes to support, he will have already lost Baichuan, and then Zhou Yu will be able to enter the Xiangjiang line and confront the Sichuan Army in Jingzhou, it will be very troublesome.
"Tomorrow, it's tomorrow, I must take down Shirakawa." Zhou Yu punched the table, and the Jiangdong generals under his command were full of excitement and wished they could fight again overnight.
Since the commander-in-chief risked his disobeying orders and wanted to take down Shirakawa, what are they going to be afraid of? They can only serve their lives with death.
At this moment, a soldier came to report urgently: "The governor is not good, and there is a civil rebellion in Jiangling. He cooperated with Qin Ci, the commander of Wuling of Sichuan Army, and Jiangling fell. Now Jiangling has been guarded by Qin Ci."
"What?" Zhou Yu suddenly turned pale and vomited blood.
Liang Qiao, the old prefect of Wuling, was ambiguous after the Jiangdong Army captured Jiangling. If Zhou Yu really stabilized Jingzhou, this timid prefect, who was afraid of trouble, would not have been shaking the tree, but what is the situation now?
The people in Jingzhou were on the side of the Sichuan Army, whether before Zhou Yu occupied Jiangling or after occupying Jiangling, which was why Jiangling was unstable at the time and had to let the Jiangdong clan gather some aristocratic clans to defend.
But now that the aristocratic family members have withdrawn, how can they be restrained by more than a thousand Jiangdong soldiers? Hearing the news that Wei Wen captured Jianye, Liangqiao knew that the wind was blowing there.
We immediately began to plan for the Jiangling civil rebellion. The Jiangling clans were already slaughtered completely. Both the people and the merchants fully supported the Sichuan army. In addition, Jiangling had weak defenses, so it was easy to incite.
Liang Qiao immediately asked the Duwei Qin Ci to lead the three hundred county soldiers and then armed some young and strong men. He cooperated with the civilian generals and the people and took Jiangling in one fell swoop.
Jiangling is not only behind Zhou Yu, but also the most important city in Jingzhou. If Jiangling is lost, what if Zhou Yu conquered Baichuan? He can only be stuck between Xiangyang and Jiangling.
If Jiangling is not in his hand, half of his Jingzhou will be gone, and the Battle of Shirakawa is meaningless. His only hope will be shattered.
Zhou Yu vomited blood and fell to the ground, and the generals around him quickly helped him up. Zhou Yu's mouth was bleeding, and there was indescribable sadness on his handsome face.
"Everything is over. I, Zhou Yu, was defeated, both on the battlefield and in the rear, were defeated by Liu Zhang...ah..." The desperate Zhou Yu vomited a mouthful of blood again.
"Governor, Governor, you take care of your health. We will escort you back to Jiangdong and fight the Sichuan Army again in the future." Cheng Pu said anxiously.
"Fight again next day?" Zhou Yu smiled desolately: "Do I, Zhou Yu, still have that opportunity?"
Zhou Yu already knew that no matter how good he returned to Jiangdong, no matter how good he was, no matter how good he was to return to Jiangdong, let alone return with a big defeat.
In fact, even if the aristocratic clans do not suppress themselves, Zhou Yu would not have any chance. Now Jiangdongwu is controlled by the aristocratic clans. These people are afraid of being beaten by the Sichuan Army. Do they still dare to fight?
Zhou Yu knew that when he returned, he would not only face loss of power, but also face humiliation, just like when Liu Zhang killed Sun Yi and went west, just like when Jiangling was defeated last time, he had already suffered enough humiliation.
Zhou Yu couldn't imagine that with so much humiliation, he could still live in the shadow of the aristocratic race, and he could not see the hope of avenging his shame. How could he survive on?
Zhou Yu suddenly drew out his sword and was about to commit suicide. He was stopped by Cheng Pu Huanggai, who was quick to see the opportunity.
Zhou Yu was so despair that he no longer wanted to go back to Jiangdong. He could not see any future in Jiangdong. If it were just a big defeat, it would be nothing, but Jiangdong was completely controlled by conservative aristocratic races, and such a regime would not do anything.
Zhou Yu brought the generals of Jiangdong back to the Yangtze River. He did not tell the generals that he would not go back. He just sent the soldiers onto the boat and found a place to spend his sad life.
As soon as I arrived at the shore of Wulin, someone came to pass an order, "Grandmaster, General Quanrou asked you to go to the tent to discuss river water defense. It is a secret matter. Please try not to bring too many people."
Zhou Yu smiled. At this point, there was still some secret defense. But suddenly he thought that he happened to use this excuse to leave the generals, otherwise if he committed suicide, these generals would be confused.
Zhou Yu only brought more than a dozen personal soldiers to Quanrou camp. As soon as he left Cheng Pu Huanggai's sight, Zhou Yu took out a letter written early and handed it to the personal soldiers, asking them to give it to Quanrou, and then went to the side alone.
Walking around the forest.
The general idea in the letter is that he is a sinner from Jiangdong, who commits himself and apologizes, buried his bones in Jingzhou, hoping that the Jiangdong army will set foot on this land in the future, and he will see it, etc.
"Brother, Zhou Yu didn't avenge you in the end. He didn't want to live in shame anymore. Now I'm here to find you."
Zhou Yu sighed to the sky and slowly drew out his sword. The setting sun shone, and a white light flashed by. Zhou Yu, who had been leading the army for a long time, immediately realized that it was a sword light.
"Who is going to be unfavorable to our Jiangdong Army?"
Although Zhou Yu lost confidence in Jiangdong, which was dominated by the peace faction, it was the foundation of his elder brother. Zhou Yu still would not ignore it when he saw someone ambushing Jiangdong army.
I walked over carefully and took a look, frowned, and saw about a hundred men in black lying in the grass on a small slope.
One hundred people cannot be ambushing the army, and the principle is to go to Quanru's military camp, so... is this to ambush yourself?
Who can ambush here? He happened to choose when he went to Quanrou Military Camp?
Zhou Yu thought of a possibility, his heart slowly became cold, but he was not sure.
Suddenly, a man in black waved his hand at the front, and more than a hundred people rushed out, silently and professionally assassinated. Zhou Yu saw that it was his own team of personal soldiers who passed by. Although he didn't want to believe it, Zhou Yu had already realized the facts.
Zhou Yu suddenly grabbed a man in black who was closest to him and was the outermost part of the ambush circle. Before Zhou Yu could rush out of the grass, he was dragged out by Zhou Yu's mouth.
Zhou Yu jumped into a pit with the man in black, looked around, and said to the man in black, "Do you want to kill me?"
The man in black saw Zhou Yu's face clearly and was startled, but then he showed a strange look. Zhou Yu knew it was not good, but before he could do it, the man in black had already swallowed poison and committed suicide.
Zhou Yu climbed out of the pit. Although the man in black committed suicide, how could Zhou Yu not know why they assassinated? He had already thought that the Lord and the faction would suppress him, but he didn't expect that they were so cruel that they wanted to assassinate him directly.
Zhou Yu was not angry. Although it was too much, it was normal for him to sometimes want to kill those lords and factions who were dragging their backs.
"It seems that Jiangdong has no hope at all." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, but suddenly, the knife in black fell to the ground attracted Zhou Yu's attention.
"Ye Tai Red?"
When Zhou Yu saw the luster of the blade, he immediately knew that the blade was covered with a very poison, and it was the strange poison of the Southern Wilderness Night Tail Red. This kind of poison is not common, and there are even less in Jiangdong far away from the Southern Wilderness.
But what really made Zhou Yu look at was not the strangeness of this poison, but because this poison was also the poison that Sun Ce was killed.
Zhou Yu felt his heart beating, although he had doubted how could Xu Gong's death warrior be there in Wangjiang Tower? Even if there were, how could it be so easy to kill Sun Ce? Perhaps someone was introverted.
Zhou Yu suspected the aristocratic clans, but suspicion was one thing, and real confirmation was another.
However, Zhou Yu also knew it was illogical to make a conclusion based on a rare poison. He returned to the pit with a nervous mood and carefully examined the poisoning symptoms of the man in black.
Zhou Yu's heart was completely cold. It was exactly the same as the poison that Xu Gong killed a suicide. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Zhou Yu felt heartbroken. It turned out that those old people harmed the eldest brother. If the eldest brother was still there, with his ambition and courage, and with his two brothers working together, how could Jiangdong be in today's situation?
However, the disaster caused Xiao Yun, and it turned out that the elder brother and his ministers killed him. Zhou Yu could not accept it and was even more heartbroken.
"Brother, are you dying with your eyes closed?"
Zhou Yu knelt down, and suddenly, Zhou Yu remembered that after his elder brother died, Qiao Wushuang had been living in seclusion, because Zhou Yu had previously suspected that his elder brother was not just killed by Xu Gong's deathman, so he asked Qiao Wushuang.
But Qiao Wushuang was very jealous of the elder brother's death. If Qiao Wushuang really thought that Sun Ce was killed by Xu Gong, she shouldn't have reacted like this.
Is she afraid to say that the Lord and the faction harmed her husband for other reasons?
It was not until the last time I took Qiao Wushuang to Baling that it might be that Qiao Wushuang was away from the vortex of the clan and was vaguely revealed, but I didn't hear it. Now I suddenly realized it when I think about it.
"Brother, I must avenge you."
Zhou Yu clenched his fists, but at this time, Zhou Yu suddenly felt the same feelings as Qiao Wushuang. Jiangdong was Sun Ce's foundation.
Qiao Wushuang is Sun Ce's wife, so she dare not expose it. She is afraid of causing civil strife and ruining Jiangdong, and also ruining Jiangdong's foundation.
