(Enjoy the mooncakes!) "Zhou Yu?" Everyone was stunned. They thought Yuan Shu would order Jiang Qin or Zhou Tai to lead the army, but they didn't expect it to be Zhou Yu. Feng Ji asked cautiously: "Lord! I wonder who this Zhou Yu is?" If it was Lu Su, Feng Ji might know a little bit about it, but Zhou Yu knew nothing about it. Xun You also looked confused. No wonder Feng Ji and Xun You didn't know that Zhou Yu defected to Yuan Shu and rushed to Chaohu without stopping the next day to assist Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai in training the navy. Naturally, they had no way of knowing. Jia Xu, on the other hand, was thoughtful. Previous time, Yuan Shu ordered him to closely monitor Zhou Yu and Lu Su. Jia Xu originally thought that the two were enemy spies, preparing to infiltrate Yuan Shu, but now it doesn't look like it. "If it's not hostility, then it's a personal enmity!" Jia Xu is worthy of being a top strategist. He guessed in an instant that the gap between Yuan Shu and Zhou Yu was only because of one Sun Ce. It was indeed a personal enmity. "This man came to join Zijing. His talents are superior to Zijing's, especially his naval accomplishments, which are at the pinnacle. This time, he will be able to lead the army, and his chances of success will be higher." Yuan Shu said lightly. Such an evaluation can be said to be extremely high. Feng Ji and Xun You were both stunned, and even Jia Xu had a trace of surprise on his face. "I didn't expect that such a talented person would defect to me. My lord will make a good introduction in the future!" Feng Ji said with a smile. Xun You is obviously also very interested in Zhou Yu, looking very interested. The two of them did not know the pain in Yuan Shu's heart. If other talents came to seek refuge, Yuan Shu would recommend him to his subordinate Wen Wu first even if he was in a hurry. However, Zhou Yu was too special, so Yuan Shu had to transfer him out first and observe him for a while before dealing with him. "Let's talk about it later!" Yuan Shu said without interest. When Feng Ji and Xun You saw this, they wisely stopped the topic and never mentioned it again. ?Subsequently, Yuan Shu raised the tent to discuss matters and summoned all the generals to come. This time the army went on an expedition, accompanied by three generals: Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Lejiu. In addition, Wei Yan and He Qi had already garrisoned in Poyang. At this moment, the five generals arrived one after another. Yuan Shu first said to He Qi: "Gong Miao! You lead 10,000 troops, gather the ships around Poyang Lake, and act according to my orders. Do not move without permission." "I will obey the order!" He Qi thought that Yuan Shu was planning to cross Poyang Lake. , raided Chaisang, and got this important task, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Yuan Shu saw He Qi's expression and knew what he was thinking, but he did not explain it. If he could deceive even his own people, he would be more confident in hiding it from the enemy. "The rest of the generals will follow me and take Yuzhang City directly!" Yuan Shu said loudly. "Promise!" the generals responded loudly. The next day, the army marched towards Yuzhang City in a mighty and mighty manner. Exploring Ma Fei reported to Liu Yao. Knowing that Yuan Shu was attacking again, Liu Yao hurriedly gathered the crowd to discuss. "Yuan Shu has not changed his traitorous intentions and has invaded our territory again. What are your methods for retreating from the enemy?" Liu Yao asked. As soon as he finished speaking, a young general jumped out and said loudly: "My lord! I am willing to fight Yuan Jun." Liu Yao looked around and saw that it was Taishi Ci, his fellow countryman. Taishi Ci was very brave, but Liu Yao thought he was too young, so he never dared to reuse him. "Although Ziyi is brave, Yuan Shu is by no means an idle person, so don't be careless!" With that said, he waved Tai Shici away. Tai Shici was displeased, but he did not dare to refute and quietly retreated. The rest of the people were silent. Liu Yao was very unhappy when he saw this and was about to reprimand him. Suddenly, a servant came to report: "My lord! Mr. Kuai Liang is here." Yes, it was Kuai Liang, Liu Biao's adviser. After the previous attack on Xiangyang failed, Kuai Liang realized that Jingzhou could no longer make progress and could only defend passively. Kuai Liang was not worried about Xiangyang. The city of Jiangling was strong and he would not be afraid even if a hundred thousand troops came to attack. Therefore, Kuai Liang concluded that if Yuan Shu came to attack, he would only send troops from Jiangdong. In this way, Yuzhang becomes particularly important. With Liu Yao resisting, Jingzhou will naturally be as peaceful as Mount Tai. Otherwise, Jingzhou will never have peace and will be destroyed by Yuan Shu sooner or later. Recognizing this, Kuai Liang personally asked for orders and came to Yuzhang to help Liu Yao resist Yuan Shu. What Yuan Shu, Jia Xu and others saw before were Kuai Liang's masterpieces. At that moment, I saw Liu Yao saying hurriedly: "Please come quickly!" After a while, Kuai Liang came slowly to the hall and saluted, "I have met Mr. Ming." "Mr. Kuai, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly." These The days in Yuzhang changed greatly. Liu Yao saw this and admired Kuai Liang in his heart. He secretly cursed Liu Biao for being so lucky to get such a person's service. Kuai LiangWith a thank you, he came to the guest seat and sat down. "If, as Mr. said, Yuan Shu leads his troops to invade, how should we respond?" Liu Yao kept his attitude low as he wanted to ask for help. Kuai Liang said calmly: "Don't worry, Duke Ming. The city of Yuzhang is strong enough to resist Yuan Jun." Liu Yao was a little unhappy after hearing this. This is no different from not saying anything. "Yuan's army is powerful and his soldiers are brave. Holding on is not a long-term solution." After all, Kuai Liang was not his subordinate, and Liu Yao couldn't be too direct, so he had to ask insinuatingly. "Why should Duke Ming be anxious? The one who is anxious now should be Yuan Shu. With Yuan Jun coming from far away, he is naturally eager to fight and hopes to capture Yuzhang City as soon as possible. If Duke Ming goes to fight, won't he get what he wants?" Kuai Liang said lightly. After what Kuai Liang said, Liu Yao suddenly realized, and at the same time secretly regretted in his heart. If he had known this, he should have avoided fighting when Yuan Shu attacked Jiangdong. The result might have been different. "Okay!" Liu Yao shouted: "In that case, we will defend the city and see what Yuan Shu can do to me!" Everyone agreed in agreement. They were all frightened by Yuan Shu, but Liu Yao could not hold on. Just what he wanted. Only Taishi Ci was reluctant and opened his mouth to say something, but finally endured it. At the last seat, a tough general lowered his head and remained silent, looking out of place. This person is none other than the famous Jinfan thief Gan Ning. Gan Ning was tired of the life of a water bandit and wanted to make a career, so he came to join Liu Yao. It is a pity that Liu Yao was very wary of Gan Ning's birth. After all, he had learned from Tao Qian (Zhang Kai rebelled and killed Cao Cao's father), so he naturally had to be more vigilant. Because of his own dignity, Liu Yao finally incorporated Gan Ning's buqu, but he did not reuse it. Apart from daily practice, he never asked him to do anything else. Gan Ning was very dissatisfied with his situation, but there was nothing he could do about it. He only regretted that he was blind and voted for such an incompetent leader like Liu Yao. "Yuan Shu? Maybe" A different emotion surged in Gan Ning's heart. ¡ A few days later, Yuan Shu¡¯s army arrived and set up camp twenty miles outside Yuzhang City. After a day's rest, Yuan Shu led his army to Yuzhang City. Looking at the closed city gate, Yuan Shu frowned slightly, and then ordered Xu Chu to challenge. Xu Chu rode out of the city and shouted: "People on the city, listen! I am Xu Chu, the general under General Pingnan. Do you have the courage to go out of the city to fight with me?" After the words fell, Sergeant Yuan's soldiers started shouting one after another. ¡°Fight!¡± ¡ ¡°Fight!¡± ¡ ¡ ¡ The turbulent weather is approaching Yuzhang City. Liu Yao on the top of the city has a pale face, without a trace of blood. Seeing that no one answered, Xu Chu taunted loudly: "Is it possible that there is no one in the city? In that case, it is better to surrender the city early, or spare your life!" Rare! Xu Chu has always been reckless, but now he can use aggressive tactics, which is really rare. Yuan Shu saw him in front of the formation, nodded secretly, and thought: "Zhang Fei is rough but fine. If Xu Chu trains him a few more times, he may not be as good as Zhang Fei!" At the same time, Taishi Ci on the top of the city saw Xu Chu showing off his power below the city. , furious in his heart. "Lord! The last general has asked for orders to go out to fight and frustrate Yuan Jun's spirit. It won't be too late to hold on." Tai Shici said, holding his fists. Liu Yao glanced at Tai Shici and felt a little moved in his heart. "First win for a while, and then hold on, Yuan Jun will be powerless!" Liu Yao thought to himself. His eyes swept across the generals, and his eyes stayed on Fan Neng. After Fan Neng saved Liu Yao's life from Moling City, he was highly regarded and was known as Liu Yao's first general. "General Fan! You lead three thousand troops and go out of the city to fight Yuan Jun." Liu Yao ordered. Fan Neng looked bitter. He had seen Yuan Jun's power with his own eyes, and he was not even sure about winning. He hated Taishi Ci who proposed to fight. But the military order has been issued, and Fan Neng can only accept the order even if he is unwilling. ¡¡
