Chapter 2095 How long you can hide as long as you want


    『Zhou Gongjin! 』


    In the Jiangling government office, Sun Quan''s roar came.


    The leader of Zhou Yu’s guard who was guarding outside the hall suddenly turned his head to look back, and then saw the unkind eyes cast by Sun Quan’s guard, smiled contemptuously, and immediately ordered: “Twenty steps out! 』


    The guards belonging to Zhou Yu''s series were stunned for a moment, but quickly carried out the order, going out together in unison, and did not stop until twenty steps away.


    Sun Quan''s guards pondered for a while before they understood what it meant. They just snorted and waved their hands: "Everyone is there, twenty steps outward!" 』


    Sun Quan''s guards and others also stepped forward one after another, and then stood not far from Zhou Yu''s guards, looked at each other, and then turned their heads aside.


    After Sun Quan learned that Zhou Yu had withdrawn from Dangyang, he couldn''t control himself, and rushed from Chaisang to Jiangling. When he met him, he scolded him:


    『Why did you withdraw your troops before you got an order from someone? ! 』


    『Now that our army has the upper hand, why give up so lightly? 』


    『Jingzhou is the gateway to the Central Plains, one step back is to surrender! Where will this move put Jiangdong''s fighting soldiers? ! 』


    『Zhou Gongjin! 』


    Sun Quan clenched his fists tightly, his beard and hair were all stretched out, and he almost slapped the table and roared angrily.


    If it wasn''t because Zhou Yu was too important, even if he was dissatisfied, Sun Quan would have to suppress his emotions and come to have a face-to-face, uh, face-to-face meeting with Zhou Yu.


    Even though Zhou Yu gave up many private soldiers in the headquarters in the last battle, Zhou Yu''s personal prestige in the Sun family is still unshakable. Even Cheng Pu, a veteran who is relatively more inclined to the Sun family, is often Still obey Zhou Yu, a relatively young governor.


    It was like retreating from Dangyang this time. Although some people still disagreed and did not understand, basically speaking, there was no dispute with Zhou Yu, and they withdrew to Jiangling together.


    Of course, Cao Jun finally withdrew from Dangyang...


    After Cao Jun withdrew his troops, people immediately came up with various opinions. These afterthoughts are actually similar to the words of many keyboard warriors in later generations.


    When we were really fighting, we stared at each other, and no one could come up with an idea. When the matter was over, they jumped out one by one, discussing this and that, and they all felt that the countermeasures they came up with were the most reasonable and effective, but But no one would use it, and finally put on a posture of "I am born to be pitied by no one" and sighed.


    Sun Quan also inevitably had this meaning.


    『Since Cao Jun has retreated, it may not really be an alliance with the hussars! What''s more, if it is such a big event, how can no one in Xu County know about it? Could it be that Thief Cao has to hide it from his own family? ”Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt suffocated between his chest and abdomen, and pressed slightly with his hand, “Since there is no news from Xu County, such matters are doubtful! Why bother to retreat lightly? ! 』


    It''s like Fei Qian planting eyeliner everywhere, in fact, anyone with some ambition and courage will do the same. Sun Quan also hides some spies in Xu County. They don''t do any damage on weekdays. They just collect information and send it to Jiangdong. At the same time, these spies even behave better than people in Xu County or Yuzhou on weekdays. He even supported Cao Cao in order to confuse detection and hide himself.


    It''s just that the Jiangdong spies in Xu County can''t deliver the news instantly, so the news Sun Quan got may be a month ago, or even earlier, so Sun Quan doesn''t dare to be completely sure about Cao Cao and Fei Fei. Qian didn''t form an alliance, but felt that if Cao Cao and Fei Qian really formed an alliance, and Jiangdong soldiers retreated to Jiangling, according to normal concepts, wouldn''t they continue to pursue and expand the results of the battle? Why bother to retire?


    Zhou Yu was silent, just looked at Sun Quan quietly, and waited until Sun Quan''s breath calmed down a little bit, and he stopped babbling, and then slowly said: "Maybe there is." 』


    "what? ’ Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, ‘What? 』


    『Cao and Fei may have an alliance. ’ Zhou Yu said.


    『What is there maybe? ! ’ It’s okay not to mention it, but Sun Quan was furious again when he mentioned it, “You also know it’s possible! ? Now that you know, why quit the army? ! Jiangdong has made several northern expeditions to Jingzhou, but this time the results are acceptable, but it is just a matter of advancing and retreating lightly! Huh...well, Gongjin, you said...」


    Zhou Yu took out a letter from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Sun Quan.


    『This is...』 Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu, then picked up the letter, opened it up and down to read it, and then shook his hand slightly, 『So, is this serious? ! 』


    Zhou Yu was silent.


    Sun Quan also fell silent, and suddenly said after a while: "Even so, it is enough to send an army to guard it. Why bother to withdraw the army... What''s more, even though there is a way to do it in Padang Brazil, it is winding and rugged. Sturdy, but also hard to beat the natural moat! Therefore, there must not be many soldiers coming, so why be afraid of them? 』


    Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and raised his eyebrows slightly.


    『…』 Seeing Zhou Yu like this, Sun Quan had to take a long breath, and then let it out, “Gongjin, tell me…”


    Zhou Yu''s eyes moved slightly, "My lord, dare to ask about Jiangdong... How long will my lord keep it a secret?" 』


    『What, what? ! ’ Sun Quan’s face suddenly changed, ‘What’s the matter, it’s nothing! 』


    『Sun Guoyi…』 Zhou Yu said slowly, 『What is the benefit of being imprisoned? Now the root of the turmoil, why should the lord hide it? 』


    『This…』Sun Quan seemed a little embarrassed to be caught, but his expression was mixed with some relief, which was very complicated. After a little silence, he said, "This thief secretly communicated with the enemy, how can there be any reason to forgive him lightly?" If it wasn''t for the blood of the Sun family, he would definitely be killed! 』


    『My lord is very worried. If Sun Guoyi is beheaded, Sun Boyang will rebel immediately! "Zhou Yu said lightly, "Prison Sun Guoyi first, then cut Sun Boyang, and when both his brothers are weak, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop, eliminating hidden dangers forever!" I don''t know if such a statement can make the lord fulfill his wish? 』


    『Someone is just talking about the facts! Is it possible that Sun Guoyi is collaborating with the enemy, and a certain person should sit idly by and indulge him? ! It''s really unreasonable! ’ Sun Quan hurriedly distinguished, ‘Zhou Gongjin! You...''


    "The crime of Guoyi, let''s talk about it," Zhou Yu nodded, and did not continue to argue with Sun Quan whether Sun Fu was convicted or not. My lord, the mouth of the people is better than that of Fangchuan! In the past, the prisoner had a good morning, and he wanted the lord to stand firm. Even if someone knew about his grievances, he didn''t say much, but now that the lord has taken the position, why use this method? Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world, and those who show benevolence can last for a long time...Why should this behavior provoke resentment? 』


    Sun Quan slapped the table with a "Duang" sound, and said angrily, "This is the business of a certain family!" 』


    『It is not only a family matter, but also a state matter! Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "My lord intends to slack off guarding the pawns to show his age and weakness. He just wants to lure him to break the prison and get out of the prison!" At that time, the lord can commit the crime of treason, destroy his family, and slaughter his people! But my lord, don’t forget that when Bo Fu entrusted him with the great cause, he once said something…”


    "enough! 』Sun Quan pushed the case, stood up, hands behind his back, mouth tightly pursed, standing at the entrance of the hall, suddenly found that his own guards and Zhou Yu''s guards were standing very far away, his beating heart calmed down, and then his face The slightly ferocious expression on his face slowly returned to normal, and he took a long breath and said, "If he is kind, he should not be betrayed!" This is a test! 』


    『Trying one or two is okay, how can there be a reason for a long test? Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "This is "forced"!" 』


    Temptation is not impossible, but repeated temptations, or coercion in the name of temptation, deliberately making the situation go in the direction of one''s own profit, then it cannot be called "trial". .


    Just like many game developers in later generations, in order to evade their own responsibilities, they openly bypassed the laws of the country and launched public betas again and again, from the first version "public beta" to more than a dozen version, and it is still in "public beta". It’s not because the so-called incomplete content or structure is incomplete, but the taxes and responsibilities that must be borne in the “public beta” are different from those in the “official”, so it’s obvious which way the capitalists will choose? At the same time, the continuous public beta, from another perspective, also means that a ban can be issued at any time to hack him to death without using that...


    People always choose to act in a way that is beneficial to themselves, which is normal and understandable. But if we take a long-term view, the current favorable situation will definitely represent the long-term improvement?


    Why did Sun Quan engage in Sun Lang when he succeeded to power? Just because Sun Lang said some complaining words? Sun Lang is older than Sun Quan and has more combat experience. At that time, Jiangdong ministers also suggested that Sun Ce should choose Sun Yi or Sun Lang to succeed...


    Sun Yi is a direct descendant, and Sun Lang is a concubine. In order to stabilize his position, Sun Quan imprisoned Sun Lang directly when he took over. The possible alliance relationship between Sun Lang and Sun Yi is directly interrupted!


    At that time, the Sun family was in turmoil, so both the Wu family and Zhou Yu acquiesced to Sun Quan''s behavior. Still using this set!


    Sun Lang was imprisoned, and now Sun Fu is also arrested!


    Is Sun Fu''s crime really that serious? If it is really serious, why not just kill it? If it is not serious, why is it that he has not been willing to pardon? Isn''t Sun Fu the blood of the Sun family? Do you have to be sentenced to life imprisonment, and you can''t satisfy Sun Quan if you refuse to give it a good time? Is there such a deep hatred?


    Zhou Yu is not a fool, so after a general deliberation, the conclusion came out, "My lord wants to use Jingzhou''s victory to suppress the rule, but he doesn''t know that Jiangdong is now heavily armed on the outside, and the inside is empty. A little carelessness will be monstrous." disaster! The reason for taking Jingnan is that Liu Jingsheng''s main forces are all in Jingbei, and secondly, he took advantage of his unpreparedness. Thirdly, he has the advantage of a navy... Now that he is attacking Jingbei again, the three benefits will be lost, but the three disadvantages will be increased! How to win quickly? After a long delay, the soldiers are homesick, food and grass are in short supply... the lord''s ambition is in the world, but does he really want to be an enemy of everyone in the world? 』


    Zhou Yu had already spoken in a very cryptic manner, but he hit Sun Quan''s heart directly, causing Sun Quan''s expression to change. He took two deep breaths before turning around, "Gongjin..."


    Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan, "My lord, since there is chaos in Jiangdong...what''s the use of hiding it from someone?" 』


    Sun Quan shook his body, took a deep breath, and stared at Zhou Yu closely: "How did Gong Jin know?" 』


    Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Even if the traffic is cut off for such a big event, there will still be boats...Although my lord has ordered the post station to be cut off...but there are also Jiangdong soldiers in this army, how can we block it and cover it up?" 』


    There are three reasons for Zhou Yu''s retreat. First, of course, the attack on Cao Jun''s camp was unfavorable, and then he encountered the impact of armored cavalry suspected of being hussars. This is the direct reason.


    The second reason is that they received news from the west that Zigui and other Padang lands had been captured by General Hussars, and they were guiding Jingzhou refugees to Padang. It also means that if the situation continues to develop, Zhou Yu and others may be attacked by two lines...


    The third aspect is that Zhou Yu received other sporadic news, and these news pointed to the movement of Sun Quan''s exile and imprisonment of the Sun family, and there was also news that there was actually a rebellion in the east of Jiangdong, only because of Sun Quan. Intentionally obscured, so that most people have not yet known.


    After all, paper cannot cover fire. If these news are revealed, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the morale of Jiangdong soldiers. At that time, let alone attacking Jingbei, even self-protection will be a problem! That''s why Zhou Yu resolutely decided to lead his troops back to Jiangling when he saw that the situation was not good. One was to repair the soldiers and restore morale, and the other was to withdraw from the battle so that the overall strategy could be adjusted in time so that they would not be caught too much or even be unable to deal with it.


    Sun Quan was silent for a long time, and asked: "If you use Gongjin''s intention..."


    『If the desire is stronger than the outside,』 Zhou Yu said slowly, 『You must first settle inside...』 Generally speaking, it means that you must first settle inside if you want to fight the outside. Jiangdong is now full of wars, and it is still counting on profiting from external wars to appease or suppress internal disputes. Of course, this method is also a way, but if the game crashes, the end will be miserable.


    Even if Cao Fei and Fei did not have an alliance, Jingbei was not so easy to fight. If Cao Jun’s camp could be conquered in one fell swoop, then he could take advantage of the situation to fight again, but now...


    In the hall, there was a long silence.


    I don''t know how long it took before Sun Quan took a long breath, "...you have to think about it..."


    Zhou Yu nodded, bowed, and then exited the hall, leaving the space to Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan stared closely at Zhou Yu''s back, his expression fluctuating, and finally lowered his head slowly, hiding all expressions under the shadow.


    …


    『My lord…』 Zhou Yu frowned tightly, 「I’m afraid there is still something hidden…」


    ...(;￢￢￢)(o_O||)...


    The battle in Jingnan seems to have come to an end, but the battle in northern Jingzhou is becoming more and more chaotic.


    Xu Huang took Liu Xiong and set off with most of the soldiers, leaving Xu Yu, Liao Hua and Zhuge Liang in Fancheng, and 3,000 soldiers were stationed.


    Cao Cao''s attack on Wancheng was a trap in itself. Zhuge Liang knew it, and Xu Huang knew it too, but the problem is that even if he knew it, he still had to go there. After all, unless General Hussars orders...


    What''s more, would Hussar General give such an order?


    It was obviously impossible, so even knowing that Cao Jun was watching from one side, Xu Huang had to make the only response and sent troops to Wancheng.


    Fancheng will also face Xiahou Dun''s attack here.


    If Hanshui is compared to a passage, then Fancheng and Xiangyang are the left and right portals above this passage. Naturally, Xiahoudun can''t tolerate the other portal being out of control. In addition, he owns a part of the Jingzhou navy, which naturally occupies a certain amount of battle. advantage, so Xiahoudun will continue to attack Fancheng in the next step, which is also a foreseeable result.


    The front line of Zhuyang Wuguan in Fancheng is Xu Huang''s "Jieting". Of course, Wuguan is not as safe as Jieting and can only stand in camp, but if it is really approached by Xia Houdun, it is also possible. It means that Xu Huang''s food supply will be cut off, and the morale of the army will naturally be seriously damaged.


    Of course, even if Xu Huang loses this time, it is not as dangerous as Zhuge Liang lost Jieting in the Northern Expedition in history. After all, the main body of General Hussars is still in Guanzhong. Shu has had such a great influence in history. After all, Shu lost its street pavilion in history, which made Zhuge Liang’s first Northern Expedition fail. Well, from some perspectives, it couldn’t be entirely Ma Su’s fault, but the first Northern Expedition was undoubtedly the strongest in Shu. The attack was the sharpest, and Cao Wei was the most caught off guard. With this, the future Northern Expedition...


    In Jiang Wei''s time, some even went to the Northern Expedition for the sake of the Northern Expedition.


    So the failure of street pavilions in history is really intolerable, but in Fancheng today, it is not so serious and critical.


    That''s why Xu Huang asked Liao Hua, Zhuge and others how long they could defend, instead of "must defend".


    『Both of you...』Zhuge Liang looked at the Han River in the south of Fancheng, and said thoughtfully, 『Xiahou travels, and what he relies on is nothing more than buildings and boats... If he breaks his boat, it will be like breaking his legs and feet! 』


    Both Xu Yu and Liao Hua nodded.


    I have to say that Cao Cao has a strong learning ability, especially good at learning from his opponents. After facing the cavalry of the hussars and horses at a loss, they created their own cavalry, and now that Yu Jingzhou has suffered from the water army, he immediately deployed the water army, and even spared no effort to promote and reward the original Jingzhou water army. Army, used to fight against Xu Huang.


    Zhuge Liang even suspected that Cao Cao passed through these boats when he moved from the south of Jingzhou to the north, so if these boats can be destroyed, it will naturally be a stab at the vital point of Cao Jun, even if Cao Jun wants to move around later , is not so convenient anymore.


    『This matter is natural, but Cao’s army must be well-defended, and we have no water army...』 Xu Yu said, and then pointed to the Han River, 『How about storing water upstream? 』


    Liao Hua thought for a moment, and said: "If the water is stored and destroyed, it is a good strategy...but this time..."


    Xu Yu couldn''t help frowning upon hearing this, and then stopped talking.


    Storing water upstream and then attacking with the force of the water is of course the best method, but as Liao Hua said, time is too late. Even if the water flow suddenly decreases in autumn, the water flow is turbid and other abnormal phenomena, it will not attract the attention of Xiahou and others, but whether it is building a dam or accumulating water, it will take a certain amount of time. It may be that the dam has not been repaired, and Xiahou has already arrived. Then this strategy is of course useless...


    Xu Yu turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang, and found that Zhuge Liang was smiling slightly, and then his expression changed, "Since Kong Ming has a plan, why don''t you speak up..."


    Zhuge Liang looked at Xu Yu, then at Liao Hua, and said, "Fei Liang intends to show off...is it just a strategy, and I''m afraid the two of you will disagree..."


    Liao Hua said: "If Kong Ming doesn''t say it, how will he know that we won''t follow him?" 』


    『That’s it,』 Xu Yu also said, 『Kong Ming bluntly said it is! 』


    Zhuge Liang nodded, and then slowly said the plan...
