Compared with the north, the weather in the south is much warmer. Just after the New Year, the north is still in the ice and snow, but the temperature in the south has begun to rise...
On the bank of the Han River, Zhou Yu stood with his sword in hand. His cold eyes scanned the river surface with a strong sense of desolation, watching the surging river flowing eastward. He vaguely recalled the past when he and Sun Ce walked on the river.
On the bank of the river, pointing out the mountains and rivers, they were high-spirited, but in the blink of an eye, the two of them were separated by yin and yang, and humans and ghosts took different paths.
Sun Ce's death in battle was like a bolt from the blue to the already precarious Sun family. Although it stabilized the overall situation, at this moment, looking at the roaring river, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion and powerlessness. Even though he was extremely resourceful, facing the current situation
There is still a feeling of inadequacy in the corrupt situation.
In the Xichuan area, Qingtian City General Xu Huang has taken advantage of the army's eastward expedition to extend the battle line to Yiling. Zhou Yu has followed Sun Ce in countless battles throughout his life. He has met countless famous generals and generals. Even if he is as strong as Wen Hou Lu Bu, Zhou Yu has
Confidence prevailed, but facing Xu Huang, I really felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
In terms of force, Xu Huang can only be regarded as a second-grade person, and he is still the lowest among the second-grade characters. In terms of wit, he is just average and has no ultimate. If we talk about advantages, there is only one word - stability!
It's too stable. Since the confrontation with Xu Huang, it seems that Xu Huang has never been seen taking advantage of the situation.
Lay a solid foundation step by step before thinking about the next step. Even Zhou Yu felt like a rabbit pulling a tortoise and having no way to start when facing Xu Huang.
Zhou Yu hated Qin Tian so much that he gritted his teeth, but he had to admire his ability to recognize and employ people. If he charged into battle and attacked a city, Xu Huang could be considered a famous general, but in this era of numerous generals, he could not
It's not good. There are ten more generals like this. Zhou Yu also has ways to deal with it, but Zhou Yu has never seen a general who can defend to this point. Even among the armies of both sides, Xu Huang has the title of Iron-Armed General.
It's a perfect fit for him.
To the east, due to the destruction of the Chen family and the almost overnight destruction of the leaders of the major gentry clans, the situation in Xuzhou was corrupted. Although Cao Cao now sent Liu Bei to clean up the mess, the major families in Xuzhou were intimidated by the despotic power of Qingtian City.
I dare not express my position easily. No one knows if I am on the wrong team at this time, I will become the second in the Chen family.
If ordinary princes, even if they occupy Xuzhou, mainly win over the local nobles, Qingtian City does not care about this at all. Of course, this is also related to Qin Tian's hat of being a rebellious minister and traitor. How unscrupulous is Qin Tian?
This hat cannot be taken off, and he has used things that were originally detrimental to him to this extent, and he has succeeded. This Qingtian can be regarded as the first person in history.
Xuzhou has now become a hot potato. Except for Liu Bei who has nothing, I am afraid no one is willing to take over. Further north is Nanyang. Although it is an isolated city, it can connect Hanzhong, Shuzhong, Hanzhong and even Yongliang with an endless supply of troops.
Transported here.
Zhou Yu had a good feeling that Nanyang was not Qingtian City's weakness. It was clearly a meat grinder used by Qingtian City to lure the forces from all directions to continuously consume its strength, constantly attracting the Sun family and Cao Cao to invest troops.
As for Cao Cao, Zhou Yu never thought that the Sun family needed a strong ally now, and it would be unwise to use troops against Cao Cao rashly.
Looking around, the Sun family has no chance of development at all, and the now weak Sun family can no longer experience another failure. This is not the worst thing. What worries Zhou Yu the most is the recent abnormal performance of Qingtian City.
It was too calm. According to common sense, Sun Ce died in battle. Even if Qingtian City had no intention or was temporarily unable to take action against Jing Xiang, it should not be so calm. At least it sent people to create some chaos. Zhou Yu believed that Qingtian City could still do it, but the strange thing is
, it has been three months since Sun Ce was killed in battle at the beginning of the year, but Qingtian City has not responded at all, allowing Sun Quan to successfully take over Jingxiang, and gradually stabilize the situation...
This can be considered a good thing, but Zhou Yu is not happy. As an old rival of Qingtian City, Zhou Yu has a deep understanding of Qingtian City's style. Qingtian is definitely a master who eats people without spitting out their bones.
Your illness will kill you. In the past battles, he never held back. Each time, he used thunderous means when the enemy was at his weakest. But this time, Qingtian City's inaction made Zhou Yu feel a wave of fear before the storm came.
calm.
When things go out of control, they become monsters. The current Qingtian City is so abnormal that it scares Zhou Yu. He doesn't know what Qingtian City is planning secretly, but the depressing atmosphere makes Zhou Yu feel like he can't breathe.
"Grand Governor, there is nothing unusual on the river." A handsome young man appeared behind Zhou Yu at some point. Looking at Zhou Yu who was in a state of confusion, he couldn't help but remind him. He didn't understand why the Grand Governor was acting so abnormally recently. He was patrolling the river.
Normally, the mission does not require Zhou Yu to come in person, but recently, Zhou Yu's presence is always present in almost every river patrol.
"Well, I, Jingxiang, are in troubled times now, so I must not relax." Zhou Yu nodded, sighed softly, and thought to himself: Maybe I am worrying too much.
Sun Ce's death was like an invisible mountain pressing on his shoulders. As the older generation of generals died on the battlefield one after another, the generals in Sun's army had begun to be in decline. Although foreign generals joined in
, there has been a lot of relaxation, but deep down in his heart, Zhou Yu is still very wary of strangers and cannot fully accept them. In this regard, Sun Quan has done better than himself.
"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief!" The handsome young man nodded with a solemn expression. Although he didn't know what Zhou Yu was worried about, no one in the Sun army was dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's wisdom. Many people even regarded Zhou Yu as a
Idols come to worship. After Sun Ce died, sometimes Zhou Yu's orders were even more effective than Sun Quan. This may be one of the reasons why Sun Quan is close to the players.
In Xiangyang City, Sun Quan is in a good mood recently.
Of course, this can also be seen as joy in hardship. After all, except for Liu Bei, who is new to Xuzhou and has no foundation, the Sun family of Jingxiang is regarded as the lowest power among the princes after Sun Ce's death. Even veteran players like Piaoxue City in the north
The forces are not inferior to them. If Cao Cao did not need the Sun family as an ally to share the pressure from Qingtian City, perhaps the Sun family would become history after Sun Ce's death. Now, it can only be said to be lingering on.
The reason why I am in a good mood is because Sun Quan discovered a general among strangers today. He is not limited to players, but a real general. From Sun Quan's perspective, even the Sun family army that used to have so many powerful generals can win.
Not many people have experienced this strange person.
This person’s name is Chu Ba. It’s a very weird name. However, there are many weirder names among strangers. In comparison, this name is quite normal. Of course, the name is only secondary, the most important.
Yes, this man's marksmanship is extremely good. Although Sun Quan himself is not very powerful, his father Sun Jian and brother Sun Ce are both brave men in the three armies. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, his eyesight is extremely sophisticated.
More than that, with in-depth exchanges, Sun Quan discovered that this stranger named Chu Ba not only had sharp and domineering marksmanship, but also was proficient in military tactics. He was best at training soldiers. Before he took refuge with him, he was also quite famous in the Xiangyang area and created a
The guild is called the Ba Qian Gui, but it does not accept strangers. It has trained an elite army. Although there are only 800 people, they are all very brave and have gained a lot of fame among the strangers in Jingxiang.
Although the Sun family has suffered setbacks in recent years, Liu Biao's legacy is so rich that there is no need to worry about money and food issues. The most worrying thing is talents. Today's Sun family is too short of talents, especially after the Battle of Xuzhou.
, more than half of the warriors trained by the Sun family in the past suffered casualties, and almost all of the top warriors were lost in that battle. Therefore, after some investigation and confirmation of a combat-oriented talent like Chu Ba, Sun Quan did not hesitate.
Conscript him into his own service...
Thinking about the majestic appearance of Chu Ba overwhelming all the generals in the school field, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel a little excited. Now he finally had a decent general in his hands.
The most important thing is that with Chu Ba's surrender, the eight hundred sharp spear guards under his command also followed suit. For Sun Quan, who always dreamed of having his own guard army, it was like adding more wings to a tiger.
Just when Sun Quan was lost in longing for the future, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside. Sun Quan couldn't help but frown slightly and said in a deep voice: "What's the noise outside?"
Unlike fierce general monarchs like Sun Jian and Sun Ce, Sun Quan attaches great importance to his own safety, and he values respect and inferiority more than his father and elder brothers. In the words of this era, Sun Quan has the aura of an emperor, although because of his young age,
This kind of temperament may seem nondescript, but it is undeniable that sometimes this kind of temperament is more likely to be recognized by scholars.
"My Lord, the Governor is back, and there seems to be some conflict with General Chu Ba's men." A guard whispered.
"Zhou Yu?" Sun Quan's face couldn't help but darken. To be honest, he didn't like Zhou Yu very much, especially after Zhou Yu came back with his army this time.
It was not because of Sun Ce's death. Sun Quan was very indifferent to emotions, and speaking of it, he was able to become the leader of Jingxiang thanks to Zhou Yu's strong support. At that time, Sun Quan was also very grateful to Zhou Yu.
It's just that this kind of gratitude gradually faded away as time went by, and was replaced by a deep fear.
In the land of Jingxiang, both Sun's troops and officials at all levels respected Zhou Yu very much, and this respect even exceeded the respect they had for their lord.
Although Zhou Yu did not show any reluctance and instead asked Sun Quan for advice on everything, Sun Quan still felt very uncomfortable because Zhou Yu had always refused to hand over the army to him.
In fact, Zhou Yu was also helpless. He could understand Sun Quan's eagerness to take over the army, but although Sun Quan was young and mature, he was still a young man after all. It was inevitable that he would be impulsive. Today's Sun family really can't afford to experience a little trouble. This is why he has always
The reason why he was unwilling to hand over military power was that, after all, Sun Quan was not outstanding in the military field.
But Zhou Yu couldn't tell this kind of thing directly, so gradually, a crack began to appear between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan. Sun Quan was not Sun Ce, and he could trust Zhou Yu without reservation.
"Let's go and have a look." He took a deep breath, and the next moment, Sun Quan's face had changed into a spring-breathing smile, and he walked outside with a smile. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
