Jishi Castle.

Zhou Yu is sharpening the Huanshou knife.

With his current status, of course he doesn't need to do these trivial things with his own hands.

But this knife is of great significance.

It was given by Yang Zheng himself.

The blade of the sword was green and black, as if there was a ball of light flowing slowly, illuminating half of Zhou Yu's face.

"General Zhou, the time has come. All the troops in Xiping have risen, and it is the time of emptiness." Shi Zuan has been staying in Jishibao these days.

He knew very well that Zhou Yu was already moved.

When it comes to one's own family and one's own bloodline, no one can remain calm.

Especially since the Han and Wei dynasties, filial piety has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Moreover, it was the promise of the powerful officials in the dynasty.

The Sima family not only held the power of the imperial court, but also was the leader among the noble families in the world.

"Whether the general attacks the Western Capital or sweeps across the river, it is a fatal move. The general is waiting for good news in Luoyang." Shi Zuan was a little anxious.

In the past few days, he had been analyzing the situation for Zhou Yu. At first, Zhou Yu was very enthusiastic, but gradually he became less interested and spoke less and less.

Zhou Yu raised the knife and tested the blade with one hand. It could be broken by a bullet.

"Don't sharpen a knife if it's too sharp. If it's too sharp, it won't last. The same goes for people. If I do this, can the Zhou family return to being a noble family?" Zhou Yu's eyes also flickered like the blade of a knife.

The nobles are all morally obsessive.

They will not accept a traitor.

Since the Zhou family has declined, without the inheritance of three or two generations, how can it be said that it has been revived?

Moreover, Sima Yi pointed to Luoshui in front of the nobles and swore an oath, and still destroyed the Cao Shuang clan, and his integrity has fallen to the bottom.

"With the general's personal promise, why are you worried?" Even Shi Zuan himself felt unconfident with these words.

"How can the general care about me, a small general, who is just using me?" Zhou Yu sighed, "Why was I the commander of the Wuwei camp back then? I sacrificed my life to fight for the imperial court. I was defeated in the battle of Luogu, and more than 100,000 troops were killed.

If General Yang hadn't opened the gap with his bloody battle, how could I, Zhou Yu, be here today? The imperial court has abandoned us, but General Yang has treated me like a brother and sister. If I do this in this time of crisis, am I not a beast?

"

The dim light in Zhou Yu's eyes condensed into a mass of murderous aura.

Shi Zuan felt a chill all over his body, "The defeat of Luogu was caused by Cao Shuang..."

"...What's the difference between Sima and Cao Shuang?" Zhou Yu's expression became colder.

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Shi Zuan's face.

Zhou Yu returned the knife to its sheath, turned his back, and waved his hand, "I won't kill you, so you can leave."

Shi Zuan sneered, "If Yang Zheng knew you were keeping me for a long time, would he still tolerate you?"

"In that case..." Zhou Yu turned around like lightning, with a "clang" sound and a flash of green light, "Then I'll lend you my head!"

The voice and the sword light stopped at the same time.

A red line appeared on Shi Tu's neck. He stood blankly, his eyes frightened, as if he didn't expect the knife to come so quickly and suddenly.

An unexplained roar came from his throat.

Blood also spurted out.

Shi Zuan never thought that he would die in the hands of this unsmiling and often silent man.

Zhou Yu pulled out his long sword, but there was no trace of blood on the blade. "Reviving the Zhou family does not necessarily mean joining the Sima family!"

This was also the last sentence Shi Zuan heard.

Destroy Qiang City.

"The Deng thieves are here again!" a voice shouted from the top of the city.

The soldiers stood up tiredly, lifted the wooden hammers and rolling stones, and drew the bow strings.

For three days, Deng Ai continued to attack day and night, feigning attacks, fierce attacks, or attacking with catapults, which exhausted the defenders.

What is virtual is real, what is real is virtual.

Sometimes, the war drums thundered under the city, and the roar shook the sky. The defenders nervously prepared to meet the enemy, but found that the enemy was just beating the drums and shouting.

Sometimes, tens of thousands of people come in like a tidal wave and erect a long ladder, but then they recede like a tidal wave with a few golden roars.

Sometimes, two or three thousand Deng Ai's troops advanced slowly. When everyone thought it was just a feint, they suddenly launched a fierce attack. Deng Zhong personally wore armor and held a sword, climbed up the city wall, and almost captured the south wall. At the last moment, he was led by Yang Zheng to attack

He sent reinforcements and boosted morale before rushing down.

At night, drums were played sometimes, shouts were made, and rockets and kerosene were set off.

The disturbed city wall had no peace all night long.

If he relaxes a little, Deng Ai is like a hungry wolf that smells meat and can always find the weakest point.

You thought he would attack the east city, but he attacked the west city instead.

You thought he would attack the city wall directly from the cloud car, but you didn't expect that his digging army was digging tunnels...

After a few rounds, Yang Zheng fully understood how powerful Deng Ai was.

I didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. I didn't have a good rest for several days and nights, and I was exhausted and in a daze.

The key is that there are too few capable people.

Only Meng Fei and Meng Guan could barely stand alone.

It's a pity that the city wall has four sides, and there are too many things to do, and Yang Zheng doesn't dare to slack off for a moment.

This battle is very important to me.

The soldiers were so exhausted that they fell asleep leaning on pheasant saucers.

"General, you might as well go and rest for a while." Meng Guan said with black eyes.

Yang Zheng was not polite, nodded, lay on the city wall and fell asleep within a few breaths.

I felt like I had just closed my eyes when I was woken up by the cheers from the city.

"Reinforcements, the enemy has come for reinforcements again."

Yang Zheng held up his heavy eyelids and looked drowsily to the east, where a group of young men escorted grain and grass into the enemy's formation in a swaggering manner.

"This is Deng Ai's plan to attack people's hearts. Why make such a fuss?" Meng Guan scolded.

After sleeping for a while, my mind became much clearer.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "Could Deng Aijun be short of food?"

If there is no food, then the food will be transported in such a big way.

Not only do you deceive your enemies, you also deceive your own people.

Just like some people in later generations, the less money they have, the more they have to pretend to be rich.

In order to kill himself, Deng Ai gathered 50,000 to 60,000 troops.

People eat horse chews, which is not a small amount in a day.

But Deng Ai had been farming in Nan'an for many years, so logically there would be no fear of food shortage.

"Report to the general, General Zhou of Jishishan made a sudden attack the day before yesterday, attacked Deng Ai's army's food road, and burned nearly 30,000 shi of food!" Scout Feng Fenghuohuo came to report.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Everyone on the city wall was overjoyed.

"You read that right? Poqiang City is surrounded by water, how can you find out?" Yang Zheng couldn't believe it.

The scout looked at Yang Zheng in surprise.

Meng Guan reminded in a low voice: "There is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city in Jiuye Camp."

Yang Zheng slapped his forehead. It seemed that he had indeed been in a trance these days.

This news is so crucial.

First of all, Zhou Yu did not betray him, and the last worries in the rear were relieved. Jishi Mountain could not only threaten Xiping, but also threaten Deng Ai's food routes.

Secondly, Deng Ai had assembled an army of 50,000 to 60,000 men and nearly 10,000 war horses. If the food supply was insufficient, how long could Deng Ai sustain it?

"Okay!" Yang Zheng felt that he finally saw a glimmer of victory.

Any slightest weakness in war is fatal.

What's more, food is a vital thing for life.

Although Yang Zheng already knew that the reinforcements were on the way, Deng Ai also knew that the reinforcements were coming. Taking advantage of civil engineering, he had transformed the area around Poqiang into a copper wall and an iron wall. He even built three Wubao on both sides of the Huangshui River.

They are each other's horns, just waiting for reinforcements to come and take lives.

This drama is almost entering its final stage.

Guo Huai, Chen Tai, Deng Ai, now only Jiang Wei is missing.

Now that Deng Ai has been firmly attracted to Poqiang, Jiang Wei's only opponent is Guo Huai, who is far away in Tianshui.

If there is a tacit cooperation, Deng Ai, the evil dog, should be handed over here.

The governor of Yongzhou died at the hands of the Shu army. It was reasonable, legal and damn reasonable!
