Chapter 28 Are all calculating

"Governor!" In Poyang City, the general Taishi Ci came out of the city to welcome Zhou Yu, who had just arrived here.

"Ziyi, how is the war situation in Wu County at the present?" Zhou Yu couldn't take off her armor and asked quickly.

"The Xuzhou army attacked the city for more than ten times in a row, but there was little progress. The last general was young. He wanted to attack inside and outside, but he couldn't catch it! At present, the governor's army is back, but it's much better!" Tai Shici is also very happy.

"That's good!" Zhou Yu was also relieved when he heard the words. Looking up at the sky, it was almost dusk. He immediately ordered the army to rest in Poyang City for one night and return to Wu County tomorrow. It is expected to arrive as early as tomorrow afternoon.

After calming down the army, Zhou Yu thought for a few guards to a quiet house in the west of Poyang City. Before entering the door, I could already smell the elegant sound of the piano in the room. Zhou Yu couldn't help closing her eyes, slowing down and gently walking to the buttoned courtyard door. At the same time, her right hand was also gently waving the beat. Until the end of the song, Zhou Yu still felt quite interested and unfinished. After a long time, he came to his senses and applauded, "Madam's piano art is really getting more and more advanced."

A sudden sound of rapid footsteps sounded, accompanied by a "crunch" sound of opening the door, a hurried figure rushed to Zhou Yu. "Husband!" Despite the presence of others, Xiao Qiao rushed directly into Zhou Yu's arms, and his voice was excited and a little choked. Although Zhou Yu was a little surprised, he still gently comforted his wife's hair in his arms. Then the two entered the courtyard hand in hand, which was not enough for outsiders.

Not to mention that Zhou Yu and his wife in Poyang City are better than newly married. At this time, Liu Bei was not in such a good mood under Wu County. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to visit the horse to report that after defeating Liu Pan, Zhou Yu personally led 50,000 troops to assist Wu County. This afternoon, he has arrived in Poyang. That night, Liu Bei announced the news to everyone with a slightly sad mood.

"What? Is the Jingzhou army defeated again? The generals were immediately shocked when they heard the words and couldn't help looking at each other. I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates!" Zhao Feng now realizes the true meaning of this sentence. I expected that the Jingxiang sailors could defeat the Jiangdong sailors, and then divide the east of the river by attacking on both sides. Unexpectedly, the Jingzhou army has been noisy for a few months, but it can't even pass a river. If you can't pass, you can't pass. Now you can't even play the most basic production, and you lose it cleanly.

"Lord, at present, it is difficult for Wu County to break through in a hurry. Zhou Yu came to help again, and our army was inevitably defeated by the enemy. It's better to go back to Danyang first, consolidate the foundation, and then make a plan!" Lu Su thought about it and put forward this relatively safe plan. Liu Bei was also a little hesitant when he heard the words. It was not only him. At this time, Zhao Feng and Lu Su and all those who had experienced the battle with Cao Yan in Yuzhou coincidentally remembered that Cao Yan was besieged by his own side at the core and could not move. If Yi Zhouyu kills Wujun, maybe he will fall into such a field, which is not funny. Moreover, in this attack on Wu County, Liu Bei only used 70,000 horses. Now Zhou Yu's army + Wu County garrison has a full of 80,000 people, and the military advantage suddenly changed. Of course, today's Liu Bei is different from Cao Jian. Xuzhou and Yuzhou can send reinforcements again, but if this battle is fought to this point, even if Jiangdong is defeated, it will be a tragic victory.

Just as Liu Bei was about to withdraw, a small school came to report that someone in the city had just shot a letter. Liu Bei took the letter and opened it and looked a little strange. Xu Gong said that he would prefer to open the city gate tomorrow night and respond to our army to enter the city!" Liu Bei was a little surprised after reading it.

Except for Liu Bei, only Zhao Feng, Lu Su and Pang Tong knew about Xu Gong, and the other generals did not know about it. At present, Liu Bei briefly talked about the story, and everyone suddenly realized. When everyone came back, they all felt that it was a little strange. There is no reason. It's a coincidence. It's a coincidence. Zhou Yu is just coming back tomorrow. The inside here should be ready to make trouble. Aren't these two things too coincidental?

"Lord, isn't it Sun Quan who wants to trick us?" Gao Lan was the first to put forward his opinion for a long time, and most of the generals nodded and agreed when they heard the words. Liu Bei was also a little hesitant. Now he turned his head and looked at Zhao Feng and Lu Su, the two people he trusted the most. Zhao Summit took the letter from Liu Bei's hand. After reading it carefully, he couldn't help saying, "Lord, I'm afraid it's strange."

"Where?" Liu Bei also signaled Zhao Feng to be more detailed when he heard the words.

"Master, look, this letter says that Zhou Yu is about to return, and the defense of the defenders will inevitably be relaxed. The person guarding the south gate tomorrow night is his accomplice, so there is a chance to take advantage of it. How did the people of Wu County know that Zhou Yu was about to return? We are surrounded by the city!" Zhao Feng raised his own questions. In this era, there are no mobile phone text messages or anything. How do people in Wujun know?

"It's really weird!" Liu Bei took it and nodded. When the generals saw this, they all advised Liu Bei to be safe. It was better to withdraw their troops and return to Danyang first. However, at this moment, a hoarse voice sounded, "Master, I think this is foolproof. The capture of Wu County will be tomorrow!" Everyone looked at it, but it was Pang Tong.

"Why is Shi Yuan so sure?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

"Lord, it's true that Zhou Yu's return is true. Let's talk about whether the people of Wu County know it or not. But if Sun Quan wants to design to hold us back, when Zhou Yu comes to attack our army on both sides, he can have a better strategy. Why do we need to take such a risk? Once our army enters the city, the Jiangdong army will only have a street battle. Unless he is sure to lure our army into the city, he can annihilate it in one fell swoop. But if he has such ability, how can he be besieged by us until now? Such a stupid idea is too dangerous, so we all assert that this was not deliberately designed by Sun Quan. Pang Tong talked linger.

"It makes sense!" After listening to Pang Tong's analysis, Zhao Feng felt that his confused mind suddenly became much clearer. Liu Bei also nodded and agreed, and then frowned and said, "Then how did Xu Gong know that Zhou Yu came back?"

"There must be another trick." Pang Tong speculated. Liu Bei didn't care when he heard the words, but asked, "What can I do in the opinion of Shiyuan?"

"You might as well make a bet at present. If Zhou Yu leads the army to help, he must pass through Shentingling. The lord can send a man to station there to stop Zhou Yu's reinforcements, and see if he can take the opportunity to seize Wu County tomorrow night. If it doesn't work, withdraw to Danyang again. Pang Tong said with a smile.

It's very dangerous. This is Zhao Feng's first feeling of Pang Tong's plan. If he can't take Wu County tomorrow night, or can't stop Zhou Yu's reinforcements, he will only be besieged. The generals looked a little bad when they heard the words, and they all felt that it was too bold to act like this.

Liu Bei's face was also changeable, and he slowly said for a long time, "I don't know which general is willing to go to Shentingling to stop the enemy?" After saying this, everyone understood that Liu Bei wanted to fight. At the moment, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Zhao Feng said, "Lord, Feng is willing to go." He took the lead, and the rest of the generals also asked for their orders. Finally, Liu Bei asked Zhao Feng, Huang Zhong and Chen Dao to lead 15,000 troops to Shentingling to block the Jiangdong army there. At the same time, Liu Bei ordered the construction of a beacon in the middle of the two places overnight. If he didn't see the fire in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, it means that Wu County failed to capture it, and there was no need to defend it again. Let's withdraw to Danyang. At the same time, in order to prevent Zhou Yu from defrauding Danyang, Liu Bei also quickly sent someone to inform Zhang Liao, who guarded Danyang that unless Liu Bei and others came in person, they could not open the gate easily.

"I understand!" Zhao Feng nodded. Liu Bei also knew that whether he could take Wu County or not, Zhao Feng's blocking was very important. At present, he was not ambiguous. While assigning 50 crossbow cannons to him, he also gave him a thousand Baier elite soldiers. At the same time, Zhao Feng also asked Liu Bei to transfer the heavy car to him. It was not too late to build a fortress in Shentingling, and it was also good to use this thing to block the way. That night, Zhao Feng led people, Huang Zhong and Chen to Shentingling to station.

However, whether it was Zhao Feng, Liu Bei, or even Pang Tong, at this moment, he did not expect why Xu Gong would be ready to make trouble at this time. Just an hour before Xu Gong flew the arrow to pass the letter, Sun Quan had just summoned the ministers of Wu County to discuss the matter. During the banquet, Sun Quan told everyone that Zhou Yu was about to return to Wu County and took out a silk book to circulate to everyone. This letter is very short, but it briefly tells Sun Quan and Zhou Yu that he is about to return aid. However, the key is that the letter is covered with the seal of Zhou Yu. This shows that this letter was not forged by Sun Quan to appease people's hearts.

"Lord, can Governor Zhou really return to Wu County?" Zhang Zhao was a little unbelievable, but he didn't know whether he couldn't believe that Zhou Yu had defeated the Jingzhou Army or whether he couldn't believe this letter. Sun Quan knew what he meant and said with a slight smile, "Gentlemen, this letter was designed by a friend of mine for Gong Jin. It is absolutely reliable. At present, we only need to stick to one or two more days, and then we can join Gongjin to break through the Xuzhou army!"

"That's good!" Everyone in the hall was very happy to hear it. Although the Xuzhou army has not carried out a large-scale siege these days, the catapults and crossbows have not stopped, which puts too much psychological pressure on these civil servants. Sun Quan announced the news earlier, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to stabilize the people who were a little panicked. He didn't want Xu Gong to hear that Zhou Yu was about to come back. He knew that he would never come again when he could not miss the opportunity. Unexpectedly, he took the risk and prepared, so he took the risk of shooting a book to tell him. After the garrison learned of the arrival of reinforcements, he was so excited and negligent that he succeeded in one fell swoop.

However, Sun Quan didn't care about this matter at this moment. After the discussion, he was in a good mood and hummed around Wuhou's house with some boredom. After thinking about it, it's better to tell your mother first to reassure the old man. After saying goodbye to his mother, Sun Quan did not return home immediately, but came to a small courtyard in the west.

After two knocks on the door, "Who?" A clear voice came from the courtyard. It's me, sister-in-law, Zhongmou." Sun Quan replied. Soon after, a maid came to open the door for him. Sun Quan walked into the courtyard, and a young woman in a cyan dress hurried out to greet him.

"Unknown uncle is coming, but what's the matter?" The young woman welcomed Sun Quan into the hall, and the two sides sat down and asked.

"There is nothing else, just to thank my sister-in-law. Thanks to the pigeon raised by my sister-in-law who can send Gong Jin's letter as soon as possible, the people in Wujun City can settle down. Sun Quan seems to be absent-minded.

The young woman was slightly stunned when she heard the words, and then smiled and said, "Uncle's words are heavy. This pigeon was only raised and played by my sister in my spare time. Later, I found that this bird could recognize the way and send letters, so I tamed a few. Now my sister lives far away in Poyang with Gongjin. She took a few pigeons with her when she went there, but she didn't expect to be able to convey military information to her uncle and Gongjin today!" This young woman is naturally Sun Ce's widow, Xiao Qiao's own sister Da Qiao.

When Sun Quan mentioned Xiao Qiao, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and Big Joe didn't find anything. The two of them chatted a few times. Sun Quan, as Wu Hou, was busy with affairs and inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he got up and left. Da Qiao quickly got up to see him off. Sister-in-law, why are you so polite? Please stay!" Sun Quan quickly dissuaded him, and then stretched out his left hand to grab Da Qiao's right hand, which was ready to salute, and held it heavily.
