Zhou Yu stood in front of Sun Ce alive, but he had gone through many vicissitudes of life. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot. After entering the military tent, Zhou Yu had a long talk with Sun Ce.
It turned out that after Zhou Yu escaped with the help of Ouyang Yinying, he first went to Hukou Town, met with Chen Wu, and asked Chen Wu to stand firm without fighting. No one could easily fight. After that, Zhou Yu speculated that Lu Xun might succeed him.
He left a letter and gave it to Chen Wu, who asked Chen Wu to pass it on to Lu Xun, while he secretly went to Jianye.
After walking halfway, Zhou Yu heard the news and realized that Sun Ce was not crazy and had led troops to Jiujiang County, so he changed his route to Jiujiang County, hurriedly and slowly, and finally arrived here today.
After Sun Ce heard what happened to Zhou Yu, he also sighed deeply, so he told Zhou Yu about the loss of troops and generals he had suffered in the past two days.
After Zhou Yu heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, your troops must be quick and our army should occupy Shouchun as soon as possible."
"It's just what I wanted. Once Gong Jin comes, I don't have to worry about anything. As long as Gong Jin is here, what do those Chinese troops mean?" Sun Ce was immediately confident and turned to the messenger outside the tent: "That's it.
Send the order, the whole army will set up camp and march to Shouchun City!"
"Your Majesty, wait a minute. It is good to have soldiers with great speed, but Shouchun City has a moat as a barrier. Even if we reach the city at this time, if the enemy does not lower the drawbridge, it is absolutely impossible for our army to cross over. Moreover, Shouchun City has sufficient food and fodder, which is conducive to holding on.
, it is not advisable to attack by force, only to attack wisely." Zhou Yu stopped Sun Ce's actions and said hurriedly.
Sun Ce obeyed Zhou Yu's advice. Without Zhou Yu in the former, Sun Ce suffered consecutive defeats. Now that he finally got Zhou Yu to come, how could Sun Ce not listen to Zhou Yu's advice? He nodded and said: "Gong Jin, do you have any clever ideas?"
?”
Zhou Yu nodded, then leaned into Sun Ce's ear and told Sun Ce his plan in detail.
After Sun Ce heard this, he smiled happily and said immediately: "Gong Jin has a great idea."
In the afternoon, after Wu Jun had lunch, the entire army set up camp and headed towards Shouchun City.
In Shouchun City, Gao Lin heard the scouts reporting that Wu Jun was coming again, so he went to the city gate himself and had people call Guo Jia and Chen Deng to the city gate together.
On the city tower, Guo Huai and Zhang Xiong saw Gao Lin coming, and they paid homage in unison: "See the Generalissimo."
"Excuse me, where are the Wu troops?" Gao Lin climbed up the tower and asked when he saw that there were no enemies outside the city.
Guo Huai said: "The latest information received said that the Wu army is coming quickly and is already less than ten miles away."
Gao Lin said: "Wu Jun must have known that we had no reinforcements coming, so he came back to fight for Shouchun..."
"Generalissimo." Guo Jia and Chen Deng walked up from under the city wall. When they saw Gao Lin, they paid homage at the same time.
Gao Lin waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be polite. My mentor, Mr. Chen, the Wu army went and came back. They must have known that we did not have reinforcements arriving last night, so they came to compete with our army again. How should our army retreat from the enemy?"
"
Chen Deng said: "Now we can only hold on and not fight. Shouchun City is strong and there is enough food in the city. Although Sun Ce has tens of thousands of troops, it is not a big concern. As long as we don't leave the city, they can't do anything to us. Why don't we just sit here and wait."
When the reinforcements arrive, wait until the reinforcements arrive, and then cooperate with the outside to kill the Wu army without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
Guo Jiadao: "Mr. Chen's words are reasonable, and I also agree with this method."
Therefore, Gao Lin ordered the entire city to be under martial law, and asked Gan Xiaoning and Zang Ai to guard the west gate, Guo Huai, and Zhang Xiong to guard the east gate. Without his order, the city was not allowed to open at will. Ma Dai was injured, so he was recuperating in the city, but he also
Unable to stay idle, he was responsible for security issues in the city and led patrols to prevent suspicious persons from entering.
In the evening, the Wu army pressed on the border. At this time, Sun Ce asked Zhou Yu to provide advice. So as soon as the soldiers arrived, he quickly surrounded Shouchun City with a large army. The people at the east and west gates were even more heavily defended.
That night, the Wu army set up camp outside the city. The lights in the camp were lit all night long, illuminating the entire Shouchun City as if it were daytime.
After Gao Lin, Guo Jia, and Chen Deng inspected it again, Guo Jia said suspiciously: "The arrival of the Wu army this time is very different from the last time. This time the Wu army first surrounded the city with a large army, sealing the entire city and even setting up camp.
It's very regular. How could Wu Jun change so much in just one day?"
"Perhaps Sun Ce suffered a loss last time, so he became cautious. It was just an ordinary siege, no big deal. Is the teacher too worried?" Gao Lin looked carefully at first, but nothing happened.
I can't tell that in his eyes, setting up camp should not be the same.
Guo Jiadao: "Maybe, but as long as our army doesn't go to war, the enemy will have nothing to do with us."
"That's enough. Holding on and not fighting is the best policy. When General Hu Lie arrives with his army, our army will start to counterattack."
After Gao Lin said this, he left the tower, leaving Guo Jia and Chen Deng behind.
Guo Jia sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.
When Chen Deng saw Guo Jia looking like this, he asked, "Sir Taiwei, what doubts do you have in your heart?"
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I have some doubts about Wu Jun's siege. Maybe His Highness is right, I am worrying too much. Mr. Chen, can you see the clues?"
Chen Deng shook his head and said, "Excuse me, I am blind and cannot see anything unusual."
Guo Jia took another look outside. There was indeed nothing suspicious about Wu Jun's siege. If it were him, he would have surrounded the city first and then thought of another way. But for some reason, Guo Jia's heart was always
Very uneasy, this was something he had never encountered before.
"Sir Taiwei, let's go down." Chen Deng walked to the edge of the stairs and said to Guo Jia, who was still standing on the tower.
Guo Jia nodded and said to Guo Huai and Zhang Xiong beside him: "If you find any unusual behavior by Wu Jun, please report it to me immediately."
Guo Huai and Zhang Xiong cupped their fists and said, "No!"
After nightfall, Wu Jun made no move and everything was quiet. Guo Jia was restless in the room, always feeling as if he had been scratched by a cat, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He then came to the tower alone and asked the city
Looking out at the Wu army's camp, I saw that everything in the Wu army's camp was peaceful and there was no movement at all.
"Maybe I really worry too much?" After inspecting a circle of the city, Guo Jia shook his head and turned back to the room.
During the next day, there was still no movement from Wu Jun. This calmness lasted until the next night. At midnight, there was a sudden thunder and lightning in the night sky, and the wind howled incessantly, wishing to tear away the rubble on the house.
Blown over.
Guo Jia didn't sleep last night. Not long after he fell asleep today, he was awakened by thunder. He hurriedly ran out of the house and saw the thunder and lightning in the night sky. The strong wind was mixed with thick moisture. After a while, there was rain in the sky.
It started to rain heavily, and rainwater quickly accumulated on the ground. In just two gasps, the water on the ground reached up to my ankles.
"It's been hot for days and the water hasn't fallen yet, but tonight there's a storm. The weather in the south is really weird..." Guo Jia looked at the rain curtain in front of the door, and the water on the ground almost covered the steps under the corridor.
, this storm came so suddenly that he was a little stunned.
At this time, a soldier ran quickly through the rain. After seeing Guo Jia, he immediately saluted and said: "See you, Mr. Taiwei, there is movement in the Wu army."
After hearing this, Guo Jia first said "Oh" in surprise, and then asked: "Say it quickly."
"The Wu army has just withdrawn overnight. In less than half an hour, all the besieging troops have withdrawn. It is difficult to distinguish at night, and with the heavy rain, the movement of the Wu army is unknown."
After hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but frown. He thought of the heavy downpour at this moment, and also thought of the unusual calmness in the Wu Army camp in the past two days. An unknown omen suddenly flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly called out
Said: "No! I fell into Wu Jun's trick..."
Before he finished speaking, he rushed into the rain curtain and headed straight for Gao Lin's room.
At this time, Gao Lin was sleeping soundly in his room. The past few days of fighting had made him a little tired. Although there was heavy rain outside, people would have a good sleep quality when it rained, so Gao Lin could still sleep for the time being.
Didn't wake up.
"Your Highness... Your Highness... Your Highness... Wake up quickly, something bad is going to happen..." Guo Jia rushed to Gao Lin's door, raised his fist and knocked hard. The officer in charge of the guard had never seen Guo Jia in such a panic.
But they all knew that Gao Lin was following Guo Jiayan's advice, so no one dared to say anything while standing there.
Gao Lin was awakened by a rapid knock on the door on the couch. Guo Jia's voice came to his ears, so he stood up, walked to the door, opened the door, and saw Guo Jia standing wet all over.
Outside the door, he asked: "Teacher? How did you..."
Before Gao Lin could finish his words, Guo Jia hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, we have fallen into a trap and fell into the Wu army's treacherous plan. Now please your Highness to quickly order the generals and people in the city to withdraw from Shouchun City and try to get to the high ground outside the city."
, the higher you run, the better..."
"Teacher, what happened?" Gao Lin saw Guo Jia being so nervous for the first time, so he asked hurriedly.
Guo Jia had no time to explain, so he pointed to the night sky and said to Gao Lin: "Your Highness, it is a heavy rain. It is raining heavily outside. I have never been able to find the reason for Wu Jun's abnormality. Now I finally know. It turns out that Wu Jun was waiting for this
rainstorm……"
"Heavy rain? It's normal to rain. What should you be nervous about, Master?" Gao Lin said with a smile.
"There is no time to explain so much. Your Highness should give the order as soon as possible and have everyone in the city evacuate quickly. Maybe there is still time..." Guo Jia took Gao Lin's arm and walked out, saying as he walked.
