Chapter 231 Zhou Lang's Wonderful Plan to Secure the World (Subscribe)
Niuzhu Daying, located in the Yangtze River Basin, is comparable to Xiangyang in geographical location, and can also control the north and south. The only difference is that it does not have the unique terrain of Xiangyang.

This place is the main road for the Eastern Wu Dynasty to go north. Because Hefei is not in the hands of later generations, Zhou Yu specially built the Ruxukou Village at the entrance of Chaohu Lake to fight fiercely with Cao Wei.

To the north of Niuzhu is Licheng.

To the south is Shicheng, all of which are small towns.

During the Jiangbei War, following the truce, most of the soldiers of Soochow were stationed in the important town of Hefei. The old general Han Dang served as the deputy governor and was responsible for rectifying the armed forces.

As for Liyang, Pan Zhang led [-] soldiers to garrison, and together with Lu Fan of the Niuzhu Camp, he and Lu Fan of the Niuzhu Camp defended the Niuzhu Water Village.

At this time, Niuzhu camp was more than ten li away.

In the forest, a group of soldiers and horses seemed to appear suddenly. Looking around, there were about 8000 to [-] people, each with a horse bound hoof, and each of them was wearing Jingzhou armor.

"General, the Niuzhu camp is right in front of us, why don't we attack now!" Niu Jin said excitedly, licking his lips.

Zhuge Liang waved his hand. It was not easy for him to lead 8000 people to this place, and it was not easy to lead [-] people here. How could he attack the village in this clear sky and daylight, not to mention that he wanted to eat not only the Niuzhu Camp.

In Hefei to the north, the guard Han Dang has 2 defenders. While taking down the Niuzhu camp, he will also eat Han Dang's elite team.

For this reason, he specially asked Liu Ye and Zhang Liao to lead the cavalry to lurk on the outskirts, waiting for the time when the Niuzhu camp was lost and Han Dang led the army to come to help.

As long as Han Dang comes to help, Zhang Liao can lead the way and dismantle the reinforcements, and Liu Ye can take the opportunity to seize Hefei.As long as Hefei falls, Jiangbei will no longer have the foundation of the Sun family, so they can wait for the opportunity to go south.

"Don't worry, General Niu," Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice, although he was young, "Order the three armies to rest in the forest, and bring food to attack the stronghold at midnight tonight."

"Promise!" All the generals clasped their fists in response.

"General Zhao, arrange your soldiers to lie in wait outside the forest, lest the enemy get the news first." Zhuge Liang turned his head to look at Zhao Yundao.

"Promise!" Zhao Yun responded with handsome cheeks.

"By the way, when I came here, I made a detailed investigation. Lu Fan guarded Niuzhu, and Pan Zhang guarded Liyang. Lu Fan followed Sun Ce to conquer the east and west. He is a confidant, and he must fight to the death."

"But this Pan Zhang is a partial general promoted by Sun Quan. He is reckless and brave, but the prohibition is strict. I have heard that it is quite difficult to put down the bandits within a month or so."

"However, he is greedy by nature, loves money, and is even more extravagant and lustful in ten days. Liyang is only more than ten miles away from Niuzhu, and the two are horns of each other. If Pan Zhang leads the army to go around and attack, it will be tricky."

"I think that after the army captures Niuzhu, you can ask Tanma to write a letter to Pan Zhang, promising to benefit him. If you accept the surrender, you can even ask him to pretend to come to help, and further press the Niuzhu camp."

Zhuge Liang looked at the many generals and said.

Most of the people were rough men of five or three, but only Zhao Yun nodded and said in a deep voice: "General, this plan is feasible. Niuzhu's defenders may not be less than [-]. If a strong attack is difficult for a short time, but if the surrendered Pan Zhang comes to plan with him It's not difficult to break through."

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, this time he only brought [-] armored soldiers, if he attacked by force, even if he could take Niuzhu, it would be a loss of troops.

"In this way, after nightfall, Gao Shun and Niu Jin will lead the army to attack Niuzhu, and Zilong will lead a hundred horsemen to follow me to Liyang." Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice.

"General, you are the lord of the three armies, how can you..." Gao Shun frowned, and said in a deep voice, he naturally heard Zhuge Liang's implication, he obviously wanted to persuade Pan Zhang.

"Boping doesn't need to worry, I have my own countermeasures. What's more, Zilong is walking with me. With Zilong being brave, even if this plan fails, it should not be difficult to protect me out of the city." Zhuge Liang said firmly.

"As for the Niuzhu battlefield, please ask Boping to command one or two."

"But, I..." Gao Shun frowned slightly.

He is just a general who surrendered, so how can he be able to unify the army alone?Perhaps it was because he was used to being abused under Lu Bu's acceptance before, and he was a little emotional under Zhang Xiu's command.

Although these generals had competed before, they were not fighting openly or secretly, let alone relying on nepotism to dominate the military power.

"Boping doesn't need to worry too much. You have strict military discipline, clear rewards and punishments, and at the same time, you are considerate of your subordinates. You are loved by the three armies. I can't rest assured that you will command this battle."

Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

It's not that Zhuge Liang wants to delegate power, the main reason is that it doesn't make much difference who will attack in this battle, but this Pan Zhang may affect the direction of the battle, so he must go in person.

Gao Shun gritted his head and replied sonorously: "Shun Ding fulfills his mission."

Xuchang, general in the mansion.

At this time, Man Chong was holding his sword, with a dignified face, and walked quickly, looking at Xun Yu who was correcting documents on the high platform, Man Chong said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ling, the Mi family has opened."

"Huh~? Is it really a cloth business?"

Xun Yu raised his head, quite surprised, he specially asked Man Chong to investigate when word of mouth spread the word a few days ago.

"It's absolutely true, it's indeed cloth that's being sold, and my subordinates haven't found any details about the operation." Man Chong said with a blank expression on his face.

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and said: "It's just that the cloth sold by his Mi family is all 120 yuan a piece, and the slightly better quality is only [-] yuan, which is three times lower than the cloth business."

"Nowadays, not only the common people go to grab the cloth, but even the big families and even the merchants in the city come to grab the cloth. If this continues, I'm afraid Xuchang's cloth industry will be closed."

"He really sells it for a hundred dollars?" Xun Yu put down the document, a little shocked, and even he was a little moved by the price.

However, such a "clear current" is destined to have a bad influence. Xun Yu thought for a while, and couldn't help but sneered, and said:

"In this way, you immediately go to the warehouse to pay some money, and then lead someone to buy all the cloth that Mi's family is selling. Buy as much as you can. If he doesn't want to, then you can buy it at an additional [-]% according to his price."

"Lingjun, why do we buy so much cloth?" Man Chong asked with a frown.

"Hmph, isn't Zhang Xiu trying to squeeze Xu Chang's cloth spinning share, so go and buy them all for him. He shipped a batch and we bought a batch."

"I don't believe how long they can last. At that time, we will sell them at a price of [-] yuan a horse. This is a strategy that can not only show compassion to the people, but also enrich the national treasury."

Xun Yu stroked his beard and said with a light smile.

"Lingjun's plan is very clever," Man Chong said with admiration, but then he was tangled: "But Lingjun, as far as I know, there are not a few cloths prepared by the Mi family this time, and they are fully open for publicity. If we buy all of them, I am afraid it will cost a lot of money.”

"It's okay, tell the Mi family how much you want." Xun Yu waved his hand and said with a light smile, "The big deal is to follow Dong Zhuo's example and cast copper coins widely, and it happens that Jingzhou can digest them for him."

"No," the corner of Man Chong's mouth curled up. It was still Xun Lingjun's deep thinking. Back then, Dong Zhuoguang cast copper coins to let the world pay for it. It did enrich him, but it also made the people suffer.

Now, Jingzhou has to bear the consequences.

Of course, as to whether Jingzhou will take care of it or not, that is still unknown.

At the same time, outside the Heshen Temple.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, but the hot and dry air is filled with a strong stench, which is the smell of fresh blood, and it can only be produced by countless fresh blood.

At this point, look around.

The outside of the Heshen Temple was a mess, with countless corpses lying all over the place, the blood had already stained the surrounding land red, soaked and turned maroon.

The encirclement was still there, and the armor on Zhang Xiu's body was also stained blood red, even with a little bit of broken flesh. Around him, the armored guards still stood standing with spears and knives in hand.

It's just that half of the hundreds of guards have lost their strength and are resting in the temple. The rest of the guards are also panting violently, and the arms holding the spears are trembling.

Tired, they almost exhausted their energy.

Without him, the armor is very heavy, even if their physiques can't hold it anymore, even in the back, they have no battle formation to fight, and they all rely on the armor on their bodies to replace their injuries.

Not many died in the battle, but many were paralyzed and went into shock. On a sunny day, the steel was already scalding hot, and many people directly suffered from heat stroke.

Of course, the Soochow soldiers were also having a hard time.

After this round of fighting, their fighting spirit has already been defeated. If Sun Ce hadn't supervised the battle, they probably would have slipped away long ago.

No way, this kind of battle with unequal equipment is too bad. It would be fine if they brought heavy weapons, but ordinary spears can't break through the defense at all, and the number of some big knives and hammers is too small.

At this time, the two sides separated in unison and looked at each other.Sun Ce was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, including two thousand soldiers drawn by Huang Gai.

As for those who died in the battle around the Heshen Temple, it is estimated that there are almost two thousand people killed in battle. The proportion of battle damage is too high, which makes Sun Ce's heart bleed.

Zhou Yu took two steps forward and glanced at the soldiers around him. Instead, he smiled, looked at Zhang Xiu and said loudly, "Zhang Xiu, I have to say that one of the hundreds of guards around you is one against ten. It's really admirable."

"But at this time, how many people are there who dare to fight beside you? If this is your bargaining chip so far, then I'm afraid you will lose completely today."

"Heh, are you able to fight?"

Zhang Xiu lightly sneered, raised his gun and slanted his finger, and shouted violently.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Those two or three hundred soldiers roared loudly, and among them was the Xuanwei Legion who came from the bench, all of them were full of fighting spirit.

"Hmph, Zhang Xiu, you are really stubborn. Even if your armor is impenetrable, I still have thousands of soldiers and horses, and I can exhaust you to death." It was Sun Ce who spoke, and he shouted ferociously.

There were many wounds on his body, most of which were caused by the iron armor of the personal guards. Before he wanted to break the formation, he was flogged to death a lot, but he was also injured.

Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but slowly raised her head and looked at the time, thinking that there should be news coming from Pengze Water Village, seeing this, Zhang Xiu laughed heartily, and it became more and more intense.

"Zhang Xiu, what are you laughing at?" Sun Ce pointed at the steel gun and shouted violently.

On one side, Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Xiu and laughed heartily, and couldn't help frowning. For some reason, a kind of worry was shrouded in his heart, because he had a faint feeling that Zhang Xiu's bargaining chip didn't seem to be these soldiers.

"Heh, I laugh at you that Sun Ce is ignorant and Zhou Yu is not wise. It's really ridiculous that you two want to dominate the world." Zhang Xiu snorted coldly and laughed even more wildly.

"Hmph, you still want to be tough when you are about to die." Sun Ce was furious, and wanted Dongwu Erlang to charge again.

But at this time, a sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance, which was especially ear-piercing on the battlefield after the fierce battle.

Everyone opened their eyes and looked around, and they looked familiar.

When the future was approaching, Zhou Tai stared and shouted: "Li Jue, isn't he under General Zhu's command? Why did he come here?"

Hearing Zhou Tai's words, Zhou Yu's eyes tightened suddenly, as if thinking of something, he immediately shouted: "It's broken, it must be Zhang Xiu who attacked Peng Ze Water Village."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were taken aback.

Sun Ce also looked at Zhou Yu in a daze, and couldn't help trembling: "Gong Jin, how is this possible? Before you came, didn't you specifically tell Zhu Zhiguang to send patrol boats to guard against Zhang Xiu's army?"

Before Sun Ce could finish speaking, Li Jue had already arrived.

Turning over and falling off the horse, he shouted in pain: "My lord, what a disaster, this morning Gan Ning used a fire boat to destroy the stronghold, and then led countless sailors to enter our army's water stronghold. Our army's stronghold is already in danger."

"What did you say?" Sun Ce's forehead burst out with blue veins, he grabbed Li Jue's chest, and almost roared, "Where is Zhu Zhi, why didn't Zhu Zhi discover the enemy's traces in advance?"

Zhou Yu also frowned. He had calculated that Zhang Xiu might attack Pengze Water Village, but he also specifically explained that as long as he found out, he would have time to return to defense.

"My lord, my lord, the scouts who walked on the lake were nowhere to be found. Our army didn't wake up until the enemy's fireboat rushed to the water village, so countless soldiers died in battle." Li Jue said in fear.

This battle is too strange for him to understand at all, even if there is fog, it is impossible for such a big negligence to occur.

"My lord, return to help quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid, I'm afraid our army's water village will become Zhang Xiujun's." Li Jue said anxiously.

Sun Ce stepped back and was stunned.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu sneered and said, "Bo Fu, I might as well tell you that Gan Ning led [-] elite boatmen to avoid the waters of Pengze a few days ago, waiting for today's arrival."

"Calculating the time, it won't be long before Pengze Water Village will fall completely. I just wonder if you can get rid of me before Gan Ning comes to rescue me."

"You..." Sun Ce was annoyed, his face flushed red.

The conspiracy, it turned out that it had been a conspiracy since Zhuge Liang opened his mouth to set the beginning of next month.

hate, hate!

He was played around by Zhang Xiu.

puff! ! !
At this time, Sun Ce spat out a mouthful of blood, and his heart ached.

"Zhang Xiu, I, I want to kill you. If I don't kill you, I swear I won't be a human being." Veins burst out on Sun Ce's forehead, and blood fell down his teeth, which was extremely ferocious.

Zhang Xiu shrugged teasingly, curled his lips and said indifferently: "I guess you won't have the chance to be a human again, but it's good to be a beast, you can be free and happy."

"You, you, kill me, kill me!" Sun Ce's pupils were red, bloodshot eyes were protruding, and he raised his spear and shouted violently.

"Bo Fu, calm down." Zhou Yu grabbed Sun Ce, and at the same time stopped the rioting soldiers with his eyes, and then said, "Ling Cao, go to the forest and inform General Cheng Pu, and let him return to the village as quickly as possible. .”

"No!" Ling Cao agreed.

"General Huang, hurry up and organize your army, and prepare to go back to aid the water village. Pengze water village must not be lost." Zhou Yu looked at Huang Gai again, and he knew that the only way to recover the loss was now.

As for winning Zhang Xiu, it is estimated that they will not be able to win for a while, and as Zhang Xiu said, once Gan Ning comes to help, they will have nowhere to go, so they can't afford to gamble.

Seeing Zhou Yu start to line up troops, Zhang Xiu sneered. It seemed that Zhou Gongjin was about to disarm. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu waved and shouted: "Come on, get up the sedan chair."

At the end of the sentence, the woman who had been prepared in the courtyard flicked the handkerchief, and at the same time several soldiers lifted up the sedan chair, Sun Shangxiang was a little dazed for a while.

Hundreds of soldiers lined up neatly, distributed in front of and behind the sides of the sedan chair, and even musical instruments were playing, which was very festive. Sun Ce on the other side was upset, and Zhou Yu's handsome face was frowning.

After leaving the temple, Zhang Xiu stood in the formation, and glanced at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu not far away, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up,
Gao shouted: "Zhou Lang has a wonderful plan to secure the world. He lost his wife and lost his army!"
