Eight hundred and seventieth chapters the flame of revenge
Zhou Yu led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and others, and a very small number of defeated soldiers, and hurried away towards the Lujiang River.
After struggling to get rid of the pursuit of Ding Feng and others, Zhou Yu was exhausted and found a valley to rest.
He leaned against a rock and murmured to himself: "Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang... just wait. If I don't avenge this, I, Zhou Yu, will never be a human being."
Cheng Pu walked to Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, what should we do next?"
A wry smile appeared on Zhou Yu's lips, and he said: "What else can I do... I can only temporarily lead the troops to Jinling City to see Bo Fu. I never thought that I, Zhou Yu, could suffer such a big defeat. Now
We go to Jinling City, but how should we face Bo Fu..."
Just when Zhou Yu was filled with emotion, he saw Han Dang running over staggeringly.
"Gong Jin, it's bad! Something bad is going to happen!"
Cheng Pu turned his head dissatisfied, looked at Han Dang who looked frightened, and said: "Why panic, we are also Sun family generals after all! You still need to have some grace when doing things, where has your usual composure gone?"
Han Dang was not in the mood to argue with Cheng Pu at this time. He said in a panic to Zhou Yu: "There is news from Jinling City... My lord, he has been defeated!"
"What?" This time it was Cheng Pu's turn to lose his composure. His iron halberd and snake spear fell to the ground with a clang, making a strange crisp sound.
Compared to Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu didn't seem to be calm.
His fear was all expressed in his words.
"How is Bo Fu... and where is he?"
Han Dang's tears fell heavily.
As soon as he saw Han Dang's behavior, Zhou Yu's heart fell to the bottom.
"My lord...and the second young master, all died in Jinling City! Almost all the soldiers of the three armies were wiped out, not a single person was left alive."
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and passed out.
"Gong Jin, Gong Jin!"
Cheng Pu and Han Dang hurried forward, pinching him and shaking him desperately, but they couldn't wake Zhou Yu up.
In desperation, Cheng Pu could only take a deep breath and use all his strength to slap Zhou Yu on the cheek.
"Snapped!"
This slap was effective. Although it left a red mark on Zhou Yu's face, it also woke Zhou Yu up.
When Zhou Yu woke up, she began to shed tears.
"Bo Fu, Bo Fu...how could this happen? A small city like Jinling actually let you die? Bo Fu!"
Cheng Pu gritted his teeth and said: "Gong Jin, we must avenge our lord!"
Zhou Yu rubbed the sore cheek that had just been slapped, and looked at Han Dang and said: "Bo Fu attacked Jinling City, so he died. Why was Zhongmou also killed? The Jinling people are too cruel!"
Han Dang sighed and said: "According to the scouts, the Jinling people released the second young master when they first negotiated with Bo Fu, but later the lord attacked Jinling City again... The second young master was implicated and died on the battlefield, so
It cannot be said that the Jinling people are treacherous."
"Okay, okay!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said: "What a Jinling City, what a pottery merchant, you really have done everything possible... I, Zhou Yu, will one day crush the entire Tao clan to ashes and burn Jinling City to the ground.
, just wait for me!"
Cheng Pu's eyes turned red and he said, "Gong Jin, what should we do next?"
Zhou Yu pondered for a long time and said: "We can't go back to Lujiang. We have lost all our troops and horses. Even if we go back, there will be no foothold for us. Moreover, according to the potter's scheme, he will definitely take the opportunity to conquer Lujiang. We can only stay away from Lujiang."
Join other forces."
Cheng Pu said: "Then who should we vote for?"
Zhou Yu raised his head, thought for a while, and finally stood up slowly and looked to the west.
…
News of Nanchang City soon reached the pottery merchants.
Knowing that the crisis in Nanchang City had also been lifted, the pottery merchant finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately summoned all the generals in Pengcheng to discuss the strategy of sending troops out of the Central Plains.
"Everyone, Lu Su, Kong Ming, and Zhongda have indeed lived up to expectations. They not only disrupted Sun Ce's offensive, but also wiped out all the Sun family's forces. Lujiang is now empty. I have written to Lu Su to unite the county soldiers from the counties around Jinling City.
, take back Lujiang County."
Chen Deng smiled and said: "If Lujiang County is regained, then the land of Jianghuai and Jiangdong will be owned by our army."
Tao Shang nodded and said: "Jianghuai has been settled, so the next step is to plot the Central Plains. Now Cao Cao is far away in Guanzhong to put down the rebellion of Zhang Lu and Li Ru. The war has become stalemate, but now is a great opportunity for us to quickly put down the Central Plains."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The pottery merchant turned to look at Guo Jia and said, "How is the situation with Er Bao?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Er Bao has been staying in Mangdang Mountain for several months. He has long been unable to bear the harsh days. Now he has prepared his troops and horses according to our requirements. He will only wait for the opportunity to return to Xuchang."
Tao Shang nodded: "But I don't know if it can succeed. After all, Xun Yu and Cao Ren are here, and these two people are difficult to deal with."
Hearing this, Guo Jia also felt a little unsure.
The opponent is Xun Yu, but if he is slightly negligent, he will take advantage of him.
After thinking carefully, Guo Jiadao: "I don't think this matter is particularly difficult to handle. According to Guo's understanding of Xun Yu, Xun Yu should not directly let Erbao return to Xuchang, but let them station nearby.
.”
As soon as Xu Rong obeyed, he hurriedly said: "If we don't station in Xuchang City, wouldn't our strategy be useless?"
Guo Jia chuckled and said, "But that's not necessarily the case. Xun Yu would like to have them stationed in other counties to observe and make arrangements in the future."
The pottery merchant stood up and walked back and forth around him. Suddenly he stopped and said to Guo Jia: "Brother Fengxiao, there is no one here who can understand Xun Yu better than you... If we want to occupy the Central Plains, I
I have to rely on you."
Guo Jia nodded and said with rare seriousness: "I'll take care of this matter."
…
Xuchang City.
Xun Yu sat there, frowning, looking at the letter sent by Er Bao, stroking his beard, and thinking carefully.
When he was young, he saw Cao Ren striding over, cupping his hands in front of Xun Yu and saying, "Mr. Wen Ruo, are you calling me?"
Xun Yu handed the slip in his hand to Cao Ren and said: "General Zixiao, take a look, this is the letter written by Bao Zhong and Bao Tao to me."
Cao Ren took Xun Yu's letter, read it carefully, frowned and said: "Didn't these two people escape from the battlefield privately before and went to Mangdang Mountain to join the bandits? Why are they still licking their faces and wanting to come back? It's simply
It’s ridiculous!”
Xun Yu took a deep breath and said: "This matter cannot be so absolute... Let's look for a surrounding military county in Yuzhou and let them station troops... The rest will be discussed later."
