Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 2165: Zhou Yu's Assassination (Part 2)

In this battle in Jingzhou, Zhou Yu was the commander-in-chief, and the three counties in Jingnan were conquered by Cao's army. Although this matter had nothing to do with Zhou Yu, he was the commander-in-chief of the army after all. If Sun Quan was accused of this, he would be guilty.

Responsibility that cannot be shaken off.

"Zijing, this is the most critical moment for Jiangdong Army. Zijing is a wise man and must have a clear understanding of the current situation. What Cao Jun hopes most is that our army can fight to the death with him." Zhou Yu sighed.

Lu Su said: "My subordinates understand that it's just that King Wu is worried about the war in Jingzhou. The loss of the three counties in Jingnan has shocked Jiangdong, and King Wu is even more furious."

Zhou Yu's smile was a little bitter. If the same thing happened to Sun Ce, he would definitely support Zhou Yu. And the officials in Jiangdong would definitely not dare to disobey Sun Ce's orders. But when it came to Sun Quan, things happened.

Not a small change, Sun Quan's emphasis on civil servants caused the civil servants in Jiangdong to show a negative side when the war started. Many officials even supported Sun Quan's surrender to Cao Cao. Don't these ministers know that surrendering to Cao Cao would have consequences for Sun Quan?

What does it mean? It is reasonable for them to support Cao Cao. Behind Cao Cao is the imperial court, and Cao Cao's methods are more sophisticated than Liu Bei's. They do not want to rule for Lu Bu in the future.

Many officials from Jiangdong took refuge from the Central Plains. They were inextricably linked to the aristocratic families in the Central Plains. When Cao Cao led his troops to attack Jingzhou, he must have had close contact with the aristocratic families in Jiangdong. The aristocratic families in Jiangdong stood on Cao Cao's side.

On the other hand, the situation will be even more unfavorable for Jiangdong.

After all, Sun Quan had only been in charge of Jiangdong for a short time, and compared to Sun Ce in terms of methods, he seemed a bit immature, and lacked sufficient deterrence when dealing with aristocratic families.

If the Jiangdong Army fails to win on the Jingzhou battlefield, it will encourage Jiangdong officials to surrender to Cao Cao. At this time, Zhou Yu must keep a clear head. Even if he cannot defeat Cao Cao's army, he cannot let Cao Cao do it so easily.

To capture Jingzhou, he was waiting for the opportunity on the battlefield.

As a military commander, you must make your own judgment when the war is urgent.

"Commander, if we send a large army to fight, it may be able to improve the morale of the army. When our army fights against Cao's army, it always defends passively. If things go on like this, the morale of the army will be shaken," Lu Su said.

"How can I, the general, not know these truths? It's just that Cao's army's offensive is in full swing. After Cao's army's attack on Xiling slows down, our army's opportunity will come." Zhou Yu said slowly.

"The governor is wise!" Lu Su said, cupping his hands.

"I hope Zijing can comfort King Wu and tell him not to be anxious about defeating Cao's army." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"The governor's words are serious, my subordinate is just a minor official under King Wu's account." Lu Su said hurriedly. Since arriving in the Jiangdong Army, he has been keeping a low profile.

Zhou Yu could see the purpose of his trip to Jiangxia. Lu Su was not surprised at all. From Zhou Yu's usual words, it can be seen that Zhou Yu would explain the situation on the battlefield to him. This made Lu Su highly valued. In fact,

Above, Zhou Yu is not only because of Lu Su’s identity, but also because of Lu Su’s talent.

As a minister under Sun Ce, he failed to protect the three counties of Jingnan on the battlefield in Jingzhou. After returning to Jiangdong, he will definitely be punished and his military power will definitely be weakened. What Sun Quan is most worried about now is probably his power in the army.

.

Only when the power among the generals is firmly in his hands can Sun Quan be the real master of Jiangdong. Otherwise, if the military power is in the hands of Zhou Yu, it will give Sun Quan an uneasy feeling. Zhou Yu's prestige in Jiangdong is higher than that of Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu

He is a scholar.

After Lu Su left, Zhou Yu fell into deep thought. Judging from Cao Jun's current siege, Cao Jun had used all means. When facing Cao Jun's siege, Jiangdong Army did appear relatively weak.

If the battle is on the river, Zhou Yu has absolute confidence that he can defeat the 100,000 Cao army with the 50,000 troops and horses in his hands.

However, Sun Quan will definitely not give up Jiangxia easily. If Jiangxia is lost, it will be a huge blow to Jiangdong. Sun Quan needs victory to consolidate his position.

At this time, several soldiers quietly approached the Chinese army's tent. They seemed to be patrolling in the army, but their eyes looked in the direction of the Chinese army from time to time. Their steps as they walked were different from those of ordinary soldiers.

Small difference.

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Zhou Yu has an absolute position in the army. There are naturally many people who secretly protect Zhou Yu. However, in Xiling City, the defense is extremely tight, let alone near the Chinese army. These patrolling soldiers did not cause any protection.

The attention of Zhou Yu’s people.

A soldier stopped and saw Zhou Yu not far from the Chinese army's tent. They must have had a certain understanding of Zhou Yu's appearance before assassinating him.

He turned around without leaving a trace and walked towards the darkness.

Suddenly Zhou Yu felt an aura of extreme danger. Although he was a scholar, Zhou Yu had experienced many wars compared to the generals in the army. His rich experience on the battlefield gave Zhou Yu an ability to deal with danger that ordinary people could not match.

vigilance.

"There are assassins!" A sudden shout alerted the soldiers protecting Zhou Yu near the central army. A soldier with his face covered in blood shouted loudly as he came towards Zhou Yu.

Two crossbow arrows came towards Zhou Yu. Reflecting the light of the fire, Zhou Yu even saw the cold light on the arrows. This situation made Zhou Yu's heart move. The shouting soldier just now was just an assassin deliberately released to attract Zhou Yu, but the real killer was

It's hidden in the darkness.

Several personal guards rushed forward without hesitation, and then they heard Zhou Yu's screams.

More and more personal guards came to protect Zhou Yu among the crowd.

A general shouted: "Send the doctors quickly, the governor is injured."

These words caused a lot of turmoil among the personal guards. They were Zhou Yu's personal guards, and their most important responsibility was to protect Zhou Yu's safety. Now that Zhou Yu was injured on the battlefield, they had an unshirkable responsibility.

The assassins who were about to look for opportunities to attack heard such shouts and quietly left the vicinity of the Chinese army. They themselves were dressed as Jiangdong soldiers. After the soldiers in the army learned that Zhou Yu was injured, they seemed a little flustered, but no one

Sensing something was wrong with them.

This night made the soldiers of Jiangdong Army panic. Zhou Yu was the commander-in-chief of the army. The commander-in-chief was injured at the most critical moment of the war, which was the biggest blow to morale.

After receiving the order, the doctors rushed to the Chinese Army at an extremely fast speed, and then the Chinese Army's tent was placed under martial law.
