Taishi Ci sat at the top, and Zhou Yu, Sun Yi and Dong Xi sat below.
Tai Shici said with a serious expression: "Wang Can's army has entered Jiujiang and will arrive in Jiujiang soon. The war is critical. If you have any opinions, feel free to speak out."
Dong Xi cupped his fists and said: "General Taishi, Wang Can led the troops from Jiangxia. There were 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers in Jiangxia. They passed through Wuchang and Qichun. Along the way, they continued to recruit soldiers and expand their strength. There were nearly 100,000 soldiers.
"Although Jiujiang City is strong, it can't stop Wang Can's 100,000 troops, and Wang Can has sharp weapons to help us. It's quite difficult for us to defend Jiujiang."
Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Dong Xi, what do you mean?"
Taishi Ci smiled and said: "Gong Jin, I have summoned you all today to ask you to speak freely. You can let Dong Xi finish."
Sun Yi also said: "Dong Xi must be loyal to his father. Why are you targeting Dong Xi everywhere? This is not good."
Dong Xi glanced at Tai Shi Ci and Sun Yi gratefully, and continued: "If we confront Wang Can head-on, we will definitely destroy ourselves with an egg against a stone. I think we should retreat strategically to avoid Wang Can's sharp edge and preserve our strength.
Wait for the lord's army to arrive, and then fight to the death with Wang Can."
"Snapped!!"
Zhou Yu slapped his hand on the desk and shouted: "Dong Xi, are you Wang Can's man or the lord's general? A little Wang Can can scare you so much that you don't dare to fight. Wang Can is so scary
?"
Dong Xi immediately retorted: "Captain Zhou, what the general stated is the truth. It is absolutely impossible for us to stop Wang Can."
Taishi Ci nodded slightly and agreed with Dong Xi's words.
With Wang Can's military strength and Wang Can's sharp weapons, it is not difficult to capture Jiujiang.
Sun Yi looked up at Zhou Yu, also a little unhappy. Zhou Yu targeted Dong Xi everywhere, thinking that Dong Xi was suspicious. This was obviously a distrust of him and did not take his words that Dong Xi was loyal to Sun Jian to heart.
Zhou Yu looked at Dong Xi and shouted: "Dong Xi, my governor blocked Wang Can, so what?"
At this moment, Zhou Yu is already a person in the game and has no sense as a bystander.
Sun Ce's death left Zhou Yu with only the thought of revenge for Sun Ce, so Zhou Yu failed to listen to Dong Xi's words. Zhou Yu stared at Dong Xi and glared angrily, as if he was sure that Dong Xi did not dare to bet with him.
Moreover, Zhou Yu seems to have the confidence to defend Jiujiang.
Dong Xi shouted in a deep voice: "Governor Zhou, if you defend Jiujiang, I will obey your instructions, but will not do anything you are told. Please ask the Third Young Master and General Taishi to testify on this matter. However, if you fail to defend Jiujiang, it will lead to
The army failed to evacuate in time, causing the army to suffer heavy losses, so what should we do?"
Zhou Yu shouted: "If I fail, I will be punished by military law."
Dong Xi looked at Taishi Ci and asked, "General Taishi, are you really prepared to defend Jiujiang?"
Taishi Ci advised: "Gong Jin and Wang Can led nearly 100,000 troops to attack with great momentum. Once Jiujiang is surrounded, it will definitely become an isolated city. It is not wise to defend Jiujiang. It is best to evacuate."
Sun Yi then said: "Gong Jin, stop betting and withdraw."
Zhou Yu suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I said if you can defend Jiujiang, you can defend Jiujiang."
Taishi Ci said sternly: "Gong Jin, you cannot be willful at this time, nor should you act on your own initiative. We all know your talent, you are full of strategies, and you are proficient in military formations, and we all understand it. You are a hero from Jiangdong.
You have made countless meritorious deeds, but you can't be willful. Wang Can's army pounces on you, it's no small matter."
Zhou Yu waved his sleeves resolutely and shouted: "Ziyi, I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me."
After a pause, Zhou Yu said: "Ziyi, since you want to lead the army to leave, I won't stop you. You can leave with the army guarding the city and follow me outside Jiujiang City."
Tai Shici persuaded again: "Jiujiang will definitely become an isolated city, why bother!"
Zhou Yu waved his hand and signaled Taishi Ci to say goodbye.
Taishi Ci pondered for a moment, sighed helplessly, and said: "I am the prefect of Jiujiang County appointed by your lord. You have chosen to stay in Jiujiang, how can I evacuate? Forget it, I will stay for a while to meet Wang Can, and
Risking life and death, I will take a gamble with you and see if we can sustain it until the lord arrives."
Dong Xi's face was solemn, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Sun Yi said anxiously: "General Taishi, this is a matter of life and death. You must think carefully about it. My father wants to fight Wang Can, but it cannot be completed in a short time. He must still be gathering soldiers now, and it is impossible to do it immediately.
Come here. Wang Can’s army has already come to kill you. After being surrounded in Jiujiang, you will put yourself to death!"
Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Yi contemptuously and said: "Third Young Master, if you are afraid, just leave Jiujiang. It is still too late to leave now. If it is too late, you will have no choice but to stay."
Sun Yi shouted: "Zhou Yu, you..."
Zhou Yu flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.
Taishi Ci said earnestly: "Third Young Master, it is indeed dangerous to stay here. If you want to leave Jiujiang, you should leave early. It will be too late when Wang Can comes."
Sun Yi said loudly: "Forget it, I will stay and fight with you."
All the people who should have been evacuated stayed.
…
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
The sound of war drums resounded outside Jiujiang City, and the huge drums made the soldiers guarding the city tense up. Taishi Ci, Zhou Yu, Dong Xi and Sun Yi stood on the city tower, looking at the dark soldiers outside the city, their faces filled with tears.
They all looked solemn and felt a huge pressure.
The momentum soaring into the sky made everyone feel suffocated.
The soldiers guarding the city were even more nervous.
Dong Xi said seriously: "General Taishi, you see, the soldiers outside the city are all elite soldiers. It is really not a wise decision for us to stay in Jiujiang. You may be wrong."
Taishi Ci said seriously: "Now that the matter is over, let's think about how to defend Jiujiang."
Outside the city, in the military camp.
Wang Can gave a low shout, rode his horse and drove forward for a distance, stood in front of the military formation, looked at Taishi Ci and others on the tower, and shouted: "Taishici, Jiujiang is under siege and is already an isolated city.
You are trapped in Jiujiang, isolated and helpless. If you continue to resist, you will only lose more soldiers and injure more soldiers. In the end, it will be impossible to hold Jiujiang. I hope that you will consider the people and the soldiers, surrender the city, and reduce casualties."
Taishi Ci burst out laughing after hearing this.
He took a breath and shouted: "Wang Can, I will defend the city. If you can break the city, I will have nothing to say. If you want to take Jiujiang with just a few words, it will be impossible."
Wang Can turned his eyes, looked at Sun Yi, and shouted: "Sun Yi, you and Dong Xi took the opportunity to escape, but you still stayed in Jiujiang. You really don't have a long memory. I will arrest you after I break through Jiujiang City.
When the time comes, I will lock you in a birdcage and see how you escape."
Sun Yi's face was as dark as water, very unhappy.
It is impossible for anyone to smile when his scars are revealed.
Dong Xi stood next to Sun Yi, his face expressionless, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Zhou Yu whispered: "Ziyi, your archery skills are superb. If you aim at Wang Can, you will definitely kill Wang Can. I will distract Wang Can. You prepare quietly, and then shoot with one arrow, killing Wang Can."
."
"good!"
Taishi Ci agreed, and unhurriedly took off the bow and arrows and the big bow from his waist, strung the arrows and stringed them.
Everything is prepared quietly.
Zhou Yu yelled: "My dear Wang Can, as long as I'm here, you can't even think about breaking the city. I'm telling you, King Wu has gathered an army and is coming to Jiujiang to avenge Bo Fu."
Wang Can laughed loudly and shouted: "Sun Ce came and was killed in the end. Sun Jian came and was killed in the same way. You stubbornly defend Jiujiang and you will die. Zhou Yu, you were also a hero for a while, but it's a pity..."
Just as Wang Can was speaking, his eyes suddenly opened wide.
When he entered his eyes, a bow and arrow shot out.
The arrow broke through the air, whistled sharply, and turned into a black light and shot toward Wang Can's chest.
"ah!!!!"
Wang Can screamed and fell from his horse.
He fell to the ground, covering his chest with his hands. There was a bow and arrow stuck in his chest. This bow and arrow was shot by Taishi Ci unexpectedly, and it hit Wang Can's chest impartially.
