Chapter 91 Negotiation and Reconsideration?
Jiangdong's army camped here in Dongshili, Xiushui County. This time, Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, personally served as the main general. 30,000 troops camped here with banners to cover the sky and the sun, reflecting the sky in color. A tent in the camp was set up, and the smoke bursts, mixed with the roar of the soldiers, scattered the clouds in the sky.
A team of scouts went in and out of the camp and inquired about the news in the direction of Xiushui County.
Taishi Ci and Han patrolled in the camp from time to time. Looking at the high morale soldiers, Tai Shici said, "Except for the lord, the prestige of the governor in Jiangdong is really unmatched. The governor alone is comparable to thousands of troops and horses. In just a few days, the almost scattered 30,000 soldiers and horses have been gathered together. It's really an order. People are excited."
Han Dang is not the first time to see Zhou Yu's prestige. He has no reaction to these, just nodded, and then glanced at the West and said, "This army is led by the governor himself. After capturing Xiushui County, he must insult Xu Shu and let him know that Jiangdong is not the place where he is wild."
Tai Shici admired Xu Shu's talent, but he did not believe that Xu Shu could escape under Zhou Yu's army. He shook his head and said, "If he can serve as the lord, there will be one more general in Jiangdong."
Although Han Dang is a little dissatisfied with Xu Shu, he is a veteran of Jiangdong after all. Talents like Xu Shu are rare. It would be better if he can subdue the master for him. He said, "If he knows the current affairs, it's natural to say, but if he doesn't know the importance, don't blame me for being rude. Even the martial arts man can't bear dozens of boards. I'll see how he can stand it as a scholar.
Tai Shici smiled and didn't say anything. He also wanted to see what Xu Shu looked like at that time, but he had a hunch that Xu Shu would not let himself fall into such a situation.
"The two generals and governors invited the two to discuss the matter." A young general ran over.
Tai Shici and Han Dang looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. At this time, the expedition was not far away. The previous defeat was holding their breath to get it back. The two did not dare to neglect and immediately went to the big account.
.................
In Xiushui County, Xu Shuzheng and the generals in the county government, Huang Zhong, Su Fei, Wu Xiong, Zhou Cang and Liu Pan all bowed and waited for Xu Shu's instructions.
Xu Shu looked at Su Fei and said, "There is a canyon west of Xiushui County. The only way between Xiushui County and Ai County is the only way. General Su, you take 2,000 soldiers and horses on both sides of the canyon and prepare more rolling boulders. If you find that there is a Jiangdong army passing by and waiting for the army to come out, you must defeat the Jiangdong army. You just need to defeat it and return to Xiushui County immediately.
Su Fei immediately came out and said, "No." After saying that, he quietly left the city with 2,000 soldiers and horses.
Xu Shuyou turned his head and looked at Wu Xiong and said, "You go to Jiangdong Camp on my behalf. The specific things are as stated in this letter." After saying that, he took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to Wu Xiong. Wu Xiong took the bamboo slip and saluted Xu Shu and left.
Xu Shu looked at Huang Zhong again and Liu Pan: "General Huang, you take 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the gate, and you can't let the Jiangdong army attack the city." Then he said to Zhou Cang, "General Zhou, take 2,000 soldiers and horses outside the city and take the Jiangdong army to the camp. Remember to rob the camp during the day."
"No." Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang was ordered to leave. Liu Pan, who was beside him, couldn't help saying, "Military division, why do other people have tasks, but my Fengya camp doesn't?"
Xu Shu smiled and said, "Who said that Fengya Camp has no task?"
Liu Pan suddenly came to look at Xu Shu with an excited face. Xu Shu shook his head and smiled and said, "You take 2,000 soldiers and horses and Feng Ya Battalion secretly outside the city and hide in the forest out of the south five miles of Xiushui County. When you see the battle in Xiushui County, you beat drums in the forest. In addition, you lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to attack Zhou Yu's army, and you must not fall in love with Jiangdong University. Once the army retreats, it can't be pursued.
"No." Liu Pan said solemnly that he remembered the last lesson and would not make the same mistake.
Seeing Liu Pan leave, Xu Shu thought about leaving to mobilise the last thousand soldiers and horses to the county government just in case.
Wu Xiong outside Xiushui County rushed to Jiangdong Camp with dozens of soldiers holding talisman. The ten-mile journey was instant. It was not until dozens of steps away from the far gate of Jiangdong Daying that Jiangdong soldiers shouted, "Who are you? Don't move forward, or you will be killed.
Wu Xiong raised his hand and stopped the dozens of soldiers behind him. Wu Xiong said to the distant door, "I'm ordered by my military division to discuss important things with your general and report it quickly."
A young general came out of the door and looked at Wu Xiong and said, "You wait for me to report here."
In the big account, Zhou Yuzheng and Tai Shici, Han Dang discussed the recovery of the water. In the two counties of Ai County, Han Dang looked at the map and said, "Dadu, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of our army can completely recover the two counties in one fell swoop. The Xu Shumo General is not the opponent, but the few young generals in Ai County are still not taken seriously, and only 5,000 soldiers and horses can be attacked. Xia Ai County, those little guys were captured.
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "The Ai County has now been built similar to You County. There are still 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Ai County. It is impossible for 5,000 soldiers and horses to capture Ai County." Zhou Yu didn't give Han any face.
When Han Dang heard Zhou Yu's words, he changed his tone and didn't say anything. Naturally, he knew Zhou Yu's temper. Although Zhou Yu was usually gentle and elegant, he was not as soft as those generals in the camp. He had adapted to Zhou Yu's character Jiangdong's generals. He didn't expect that there would be an increase of 2,000 soldiers in Ai County in just a few days. Ma and Ai County has also been rebuilt.
Zhou Yu ignored Han Dang, but looked at Ai County and continued, "It is not impossible to attack two counties at a time. As long as Xiushui County successfully captures it, Xu Shu will definitely ask Xiushui County for help. As long as Ai County is empty and under the pressure of the army, he can capture Ai County in one fell swoop." After saying that, he looked at Taishi Ci and said, "General Taishi, you take 10,000 soldiers and horses to Ai County tonight. You don't have to attack the city. You just need to lie outside Ai County. When you see Ai County's soldiers and horses out of the city, you will attack Ai County."
Tai Shici immediately said, "No."
After saying that, he was about to go to order 10,000 soldiers and horses. When he was ready, a young general ran in and said, "General Qi, Xiushui County sent an envoy to come. Will you let it go?"
"Oh." Zhou Yu was also a little surprised. The army was about to fight. Xu Shu even sent envoys to come. Did he come to write a war letter? Thinking of Zhou Yu, he smiled and said, "Let him in."
"No." Not long after the young general left, Wu Xiong arrived at the big account of the Chinese army.
Wu Xiong looked at Zhou Yu, who was younger than the rumor in front of him, and said, "I'll come to discuss with Governor Zhou by the order of my military division."
Zhou Yu was stunned when he saw that Wu Xiong did not come to write a letter of war, but he immediately said, "I don't know why Xu Junshi would discuss with the governor?"
Wu Xiong took a look at Taishici and Han Dang beside him and did not hide it, "I came to make peace with the governor by the order of the military division."
"Reconciation?" Zhou Yu was a little puzzled. Even Tai Shici and Han Dang beside him were confused. When did Jingzhou and Jiangdong make peace? If the peace can be solved, will it take so many years of war?
