Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 2164: Zhou Yu's Assassination (Part 1)

They don't want to miss out on becoming ministers to revitalize the Han Dynasty. As for overthrowing the current rule of the Han Dynasty and establishing a new court, the family will not support it for the time being. They don't want to give up their interests. Once the dynasty changes and the family's strength is not enough to influence the monarch,

, the family's losses will be even greater.

The different attitudes of the princes towards the aristocratic family determine what kind of thoughts the aristocratic family will have. What the aristocratic family under Lu Bu's rule wants most is to allow the family's children to have greater achievements in officialdom or the military, so that the family's

The influence is greater, and the family members are developing on the road of business. There are many business opportunities in Chang'an. With the strength of the family, as long as they choose to do business, they can achieve considerable development in a short period of time. The family has enough

Capital, which allows them to go further in business.

The reason why Cao Cao is afraid of Lu Bu is precisely because of the cohesion under Lu Bu's rule. Now he has Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Shouchun in Yangzhou and Jingzhou in his hands. However, the officials under his rule are not so pure, mainly because the influence of the aristocratic family is too great.

It's big, and Cao Cao can't ignore the influence of the family like Lu Bu did.

Against the aristocratic family, only Lu Bu did such a thing. The other princes were more willing to appease the aristocratic family. The influence of the aristocratic family can change the current situation under their rule. If Cao Cao and Lu Bu had the same choice, the war in Jingzhou would have already

No need to proceed.

Lu Bu's power made the family feel the urgency. With the expansion of Lu Bu's army, the family's living space would be greatly compressed. This situation made the family feel the urgency.

"Lord, if the assassin fails to succeed, it will lead to Zhou Yu's revenge." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao laughed and said: "Are I still worried about the failure of Zhou Yu's son's revenge? Zhuge Liang had the reputation of Wolong in the world, but he was not defeated by me on the battlefield in Jingzhou, and he failed repeatedly on the battlefield in Yizhou.

"

Xun You nodded slightly. Even if these so-called wise men became famous at a young age, it would still be very difficult for them to achieve anything if they were not tempered on the battlefield.

It does not mean that any strategist will have such abilities after learning. They need to respond in a timely manner according to the situation on the battlefield. If they cannot handle the situation on the battlefield well, it will lead to failure. Zhuge Liang is

Very good explanation.

It was late at night, and the Chinese army's tent in Xiling City was still brightly lit. Cao Jun's continuous attack on the city for half a month made Jiangdong Army pay a heavy price. Facing the attack of Cao Jun's thunder chariot, Jiangdong Army could only be in a passive defense situation.

, this situation is extremely unfavorable to Jiangdong Army.

However, what Zhou Yu needed was safety. On the battlefield in Jingzhou, Jiangdong's army suffered a disastrous defeat. The city that originally belonged to Jiangdong's army has now fallen into Cao Cao's hands. If Xiling is captured by Cao's army, Jiangdong's army will have no choice but to retreat to Jiangdong sadly.

Cao Cao is not comparable to Liu Bei. It is very difficult to seize control of Jingzhou from Cao Cao. The battle between the princes has gradually become clear. Liu Bei's defeat is inevitable in Zhou Yu's view. If the Jiangdong Army

If they cannot gain enough benefits from this battle, the Jiangdong Army will be the weakest among the princes and can be manipulated by others. This situation is not what Zhou Yu wants to see. He and Sun Ce are brothers.

, for Jiangdong, even if he died on the battlefield, in Zhou Yu's opinion, he would not hesitate.

"Now Cao Jun's attack on Xiling is in full swing. What all the generals need to do is to defend the city while Cao Jun is attacking the city and prevent the young people in the city from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Among the three counties of Jingnan, it is because of the betrayal of aristocratic families.

It fell into the hands of Cao Cao." Zhou Yu said solemnly.

Although the generals in the army were a little confused about such an order, they did not dare to disobey Zhou Yu's order. Zhou Yu had absolute prestige in the army, and now he was the commander-in-chief of the army.

"Commander, Cao's army attacked the city fiercely. Although our army's losses are not much, the morale of the officers and soldiers in the army is low. If the war continues like this, it will be even more disadvantageous for our army." Lu Su said.

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "You don't need to be anxious. Cao's army is more anxious than Jiangdong's army. News came from Yizhou that Liu Bei led the Yizhou army to fight the Chang'an army in a decisive battle. All 50,000 elite troops were lost. Only a few people followed Liu Bei back to Chengdu.

Ten people, once the King of Jin pacifies Yizhou, how can Cao Jun easily conquer Jingzhou?"

Although the generals in the army rarely consider such things, Zhou Yu's words are still very reasonable. In any case, what Jiangdong Army needs is victory. Only a victory can wash away the humiliation of Jiangdong Army on the Jingzhou battlefield.

Zhou Yu didn't want to send his army out of the city to fight Cao Jun. However, through Cao Jun's siege during this period, it can be seen that Cao Jun's defense was extremely tight. Even during the siege, the cavalry in the army was on guard, and Jiangdong Army

Although the cavalry has a certain strength, there is still a big gap compared with Cao's cavalry. This can be seen from the previous battles between the cavalry of the two sides.

The existence of Cao's cavalry was the greatest deterrent to Jiangdong's army. Otherwise, Zhou Yu would have ordered his soldiers to go out of the city and burn the enemy's thunderbolt chariots.

During the siege of Cao Cao's city, what Zhou Yu didn't expect was this kind of thunderbolt chariot with a range of up to 400 steps, which completely suppressed the defenders. If it weren't for the competitive relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, Zhou Yu would even

It is suspected that Lu Bu gave Cao Cao the method of building the giant thunderbolt chariot.

"Commander, if our army is defeated on the battlefield in Jingzhou, Cao Cao will become powerful. Why doesn't the King of Jin send a large army to contain Cao Cao at this time? There are tens of thousands of troops near Chang'an. As long as the Chang'an army makes a little gesture, they can

Contain more power from Cao's army." Lu Su said doubtfully.

Zhou Yu said: "The King of Jin is plotting Yizhou and wants to completely defeat Liu Bei. Before completely occupying Yizhou, the King of Jin will definitely not send a large army to contain Cao's army. If it arouses Cao Cao's fear, he will then send troops to attack Qingzhou or Hanoi."

, will definitely shake Chang'an, what King Jin needs at this time is stability."

The generals in the army nodded in agreement after hearing this. Zhou Yu's analysis of the situation on the battlefield made them feel very reasonable. Many generals in the army even hoped that Lu Bu could pacify Yizhou as soon as possible, so that it would be difficult for Cao Jun to attack Jingzhou.

There is greater deeds on the battlefield.

After discussing the defense matters, the generals of each department left one after another, but Zhou Yu left Lu Su behind. The situation in Jiangdong's army was indeed not optimistic, and Jiangdong attached great importance to the war in Jiangxia.
