"Wu Jun in the city, listen, Ruxuzhou has been captured, and your way back is cut off!"

Under Ruxu City, Qin army scouts came and went shouting.

Du Yu did not have as strong a desire for fame as Wang Jun. Given his status, he did not need much fame. Too much credit would not be a good thing.

What he cares more about is the lives of his soldiers.

Most of Wang Jun's men were Shu and Wu people, but Du Yu's men were genuine Qin troops.

The cavalry shrouded the north of Ruxu City like dark clouds.

Soldiers were like mountains pressing down on three sides of Ruxu City.

The military appearance was so grand that even the sky and the earth were changed. The strong wind swept the clouds and quickly floated from north to south, moistening the water, and the river roared.

An autumn rain followed, and the sky and earth suddenly became dark.

The Qin army under the city remained motionless, their black armor blending into the darkness between heaven and earth.

The defenders on the city were overwhelmed and breathless.

Suddenly, the war drums sounded in unison.

It came from the horizon, from the distant mountains, it was extremely powerful, extremely heavy, and as oppressive as the end of the world.

When the Qin army's momentum reached its peak, they did not attack the city, but returned to camp to take shelter from the rain.

Wu Jun in Ruxucheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The boundless murderous intent had already made them terrified.

However, compared with the knives of the supervising team behind them, they still insisted on pressing against the city wall.

"Why didn't Duke Du take down Ruxu in one go?" Yang Xu just wanted to end this battle as soon as possible.

"Ruxu is already a dead place, and Zhonghui can hardly fly. This city is very strong, and the soldiers will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. If our army attacks by force, they will share the same hatred with the enemy. If our army delays the attack, Wu's army will undergo internal changes." Du Yu explained.

In addition, the Qin army did not have many siege equipment.

As long as Wu Jun's family members from Ruxuzhou are sent and stand under the city, how long can Wu Jun in the city resist?

In order to control the Wu army, Zhong Hui gathered his family members together, but now it has become his Achilles' heel.

"We must have sixty or seventy thousand people. Zhonghui will definitely be out of food and grass, so we can just besiege him. I am willing to lead an army across the river to attack Stone City and attack Jianye!" Zhou Zhi asked for orders.

"Yes." Du Yu agreed.

Zhong Hui has heavy troops in the north of the Yangtze River, while the east of the Yangtze River is empty.

If Jianye is captured, Ruxucheng will no longer be important.

"General Zhou will succeed immediately when he goes here." Yang Xu also encouraged.

Zhou Zhi was overjoyed, knowing that Du Yu wanted him to perform meritorious service, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank Duke Du!"

Immediately, the eight thousand cavalry were ordered together, and Yang Xu and Du Yu sent them out of the camp gate.

Only two hours after Zhou Zhi set out, a scout came to report, "Your Majesty, the Governor, Wang Jishishi personally led 10,000 elite troops down the river and headed straight for Niuzhu!"

Only by defeating Jianye can we truly destroy Wu.

Du Yu didn't care about this achievement, but there were many people rushing to get it.

Wang Jun didn't even say hello and went straight to Jianye. He was a little over the line and not polite enough.

It should be noted that there is not only Du Yu under Ruxu City, but also Prince Yang Xu...

How would Du Yu and Yang Xu feel if they were narrow-minded people?

Du Yu laughed magnanimously and said, "Prefect Wang is very enthusiastic and his heart is commendable."

Even now, Du Yu is still saying good things for Wang Jun.

"Will Governor Wang be at odds with General Zhou?" Being able to say this means that Yang Xu has seen the essence of the problem.

It stands to reason that all Qin troops on the eastern front battlefield should be under Du Yu's control.

Wang Jun's reckless behavior has truly challenged Du Yu's authority.

Du Yu thought for a while and said, "General Zhou Shen Yi is very wise, and Governor Wang is very resourceful and good at fighting. Both of them know the importance and will never abandon national affairs just because of their whims!"

"Report, a letter has arrived from Governor Wang." Only then did the soldiers bring in Wang Jun's letter.

There are two letters in total, one for Du Yu and one for Yang Xu.

The contents were almost the same, except that the troops were very fast and the military situation was urgent. There was no time to report to Yang Xu and Du Yu in person. Please forgive me, and apologize in person after taking Jianye.

The words were quite humble.

But after Yang Xu read the letter, his impression of Wang Jun became even worse...

When Zhou Zhi arrived at Niuzhu, the ferry crossing had been captured by Wang Jun.

Just as they were about to land, they were rejected by the defenders, "No one can come near without the king's order!"

"With your blind eyes, do you know who we are?" the tent supervisor Ding said angrily.

"In the Great War between the North and the South, there were many Wu troops pretending to be there. No one was allowed to get close without a military order." The other side was obviously well prepared.

"Ashore!" Zhou Zhi didn't say so much nonsense. He was really stopped by this little captain. He would never think of straightening up in front of his subordinates in the future.

In terms of status, Wang Jun is definitely inferior to Zhou Zhi.

What's more, Zhou Zhi's backer is not only Du Yu, but also Lu Zhi.

The ship just passed by.

The other side really didn't dare to move rashly.

Guan Ding got off the boat and rushed over with more than a hundred soldiers. He was about to kill the captain on the spot, but was stopped by Zhou Zhi, "What are you doing with him? Don't waste time!"

The soldiers mounted their horses and headed straight for Stone City.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. A banner with the word "Qin" was already planted on the stone city.

The door of Jianye is wide open.

"The whole army will rest for the night." Zhou Zhi said, looking at the low dusk.

"General, Jianye is very close..." Guan Ding was equally eager to make contributions.

Zhou Zhi sneered and said: "If Jianye City falls, it will be too late for us to go. If Jianye City does not fall, why should we dare to go there in a hurry? Let Wang Jun gnaw the hard bones. We will have enough energy to take Jianye in one go. .”

Guan Ding suddenly realized, "Haha, the general is still smart!"

At dawn the next day, scouts and agents reported back that Zhong Hui's son Zhong Yi was defending Jianye and refused to surrender. Wang Jun attacked fiercely all night. Unfortunately, a force of 10,000 troops was really insufficient for a big city like Jianye.

Wang Jun tried several times and then set up camp.

"Wang Jun can't do it, let Wu Gou see who is the real Qin army!" Wu Chao, a brave general, laughed.

Zhou Zhi waved his hand and said, "Jianye is strong. Even if Wang Jun is included, there are less than 20,000 troops. It is difficult to break through. Let's wait and see what happens."

In two days, Wang Jun attacked twice more, but all failed.

Zhou Zhi waited for Wang Jun to ask for help.

Wang Jun was so arrogant that he never spoke to Zhou Zhi. Instead, he sent someone to transfer the army in Ruxuzhou.

There are 20,000 to 30,000 troops in Ruxuzhou. If the Wu army surrenders, they can still gather some more. Wang Jun's 50,000 troops can barely capture Jianye.

Seeing that Wang Jun's army was about to come to support, the generals could not sit still and called for a fight one after another, "General, we can't wait any longer! Wang Jun fights Wang Jun's, and we fight ours."

Zhou Zhi shook his head.

At this time, the scouts hurried over and said, "General, Zhong Yi's troops have joined forces with Wanling Zhou Chu's 20,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on Wang Jishi!"

All eyes turned to Zhou Zhi.

It was obvious that Wang Jun was too eager to make meritorious deeds and was a little overconfident.

Luo Shang's army of five thousand marched straight in and defeated Wanling. He himself died in the battle formation, which showed that Wu still had the strength to fight.

Zhou Zhi asked: "Has Governor Wang asked for help from our army?"

Marching Sima Zhang Fu said: "Not yet."
