Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 440 Zhou Yu
Zhou Yu, as one of Wang Zheng's favorite heroes of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, found that that illusory symbol in history was now vividly appearing in front of his eyes. For a moment, Wang Zheng was very excited, and it could even be called a surge of emotion.

However, it was only for a moment.

After all, he is no longer an ordinary member of the crowd in his previous life.

The current Wang Zheng is Li Yanghou, Xuzhou Mu, and Tiangong General. He has become one of the few powerful princes in the world today. He holds power, controls a state, and can decide the life and death of thousands of people with a single word. up.

So the next moment, a series of question marks popped up in Wang Zheng's mind.

Why is Zhou Yu in Hefei?

How could he be in Hefei?

Or hold an important position like the county magistrate?
Is Yuan Shu's mind full of poop?

To put a good friend of the little overlord in the front line against Sun Ce's army?
Although he was complaining secretly like this, on the surface Wang Zheng kept his expression on his face, and he was still chatting and laughing with the county magistrate He Hong.

This He Hong is actually at the age of [-]. In terms of age, he is actually more than Wang Zheng, but because of the difference in status, He Hong is very cautious when talking to Wang Zheng, even a little cautious, while the Hefei civil and military officials on the side It seems that although Wang Zheng is in a high position at a young age, he has no arrogance, and he is very easy-going in his answers, but no one knows that most of Xuzhou Mu's mind and attention are focused on On Zhou Yu who was silent on the side.

After all, except for Wang Zheng, no one would know what kind of achievements this young man in his early twenties would achieve in the future!
It can even be said that without Zhou Yu, without the raging red flames that burned the sea and boiled the sky in Chibi, perhaps there would be no such thing as the Three Kingdoms.

Zhou Lang was young, upright and majestic, and an outstanding man from Jiangdong. 80 troops flew a torch, and the wind swept the yellow leaves in front of the beach.

One fire burned three parts of the world. When Zhou Yu was alive, his military strategy and record surpassed everyone.

At the time when his mind was full of thoughts, He Hong began to feel a lot more natural after the Kung Fu exchange. He let out a breath, and then smiled at Wang Zheng: "Zhou Mu has worked hard from afar, we have specially prepared a banquet, please come tonight How about having a drink in the humble house and discussing how to deal with the enemy in the future?"

Wang Zheng has no objection.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Zhou Yu also came over to say a few more words, but compared to He Hong's enthusiasm, Zhou Yu was obviously just showing polite coping, but this was not beyond Wang Zheng's expectations, after all, his family was a He offended his good friend Sun Ce, especially this time when the Xuzhou army entered Yangzhou, the other party must also know who they came for.

What Wang Zheng is eager to know now is actually Zhou Yu's current inner thoughts, or more precisely, his position.

Is he still loyal to Yuan Shu, or is it because Yuan Ying has his grandson in his heart?

Even the Prime Minister of Hefei County was originally Sun Cejun's internal response to breaking the city, a spy, and his existence is to turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment
Looking at the figure of the young man drifting away, Wang Zheng secretly sighed with emotion, his eyes flickering sharply.

Ma De, a handsome guy is a handsome guy, even his back is so handsome!

Brother Gongjin, I hope you don't become my enemy.

otherwise
This general can only be a black fan who hurts the killer.

After a while, Sima Tang also came to say goodbye, but he had properly arranged the two thousand heavenly troops in the city according to He Hong's request.

This surprised Wang Zheng again. He didn't expect that this "nobody" who was not impressive in appearance was actually quite capable.

Then Wang Zheng ordered the soldiers to move the luggage down, and then asked Sima Tang to call some craftsmen in the city to repair their broken ships, and then took the troops to inspect the barracks.

The Heavenly Army's barracks were arranged at the gate to the east of the North Gate. They only fought an encounter battle along the way. In fact, the loss was not big. The Tianzhu Camp was basically intact, and only the third part of the Heavenly Army where Wang Xiong was located was damaged. Killed nearly a hundred soldiers.

So after Wang Zheng stepped into the barracks, he didn't go to his own tent first, instead he went to the camp of the third department first, and saw a group of wounded soldiers there also happy and high-spirited, not at all as listless as they were on the boat, he couldn't help laughing.

It seems that in the current sky army, there are really not many people who are suitable to become navy troops.

Along the way, Wang Zheng also roughly discovered that there is a big difference between the army and the navy. This is not entirely determined by the so-called water quality or even experience. Bu Fan, once they got on the deck, they changed completely, which meant that they didn't like being a sailor by nature.

Compared to the others, Wang Xiong was fine. When Wang Zheng arrived at the gate of the garrison, he was instructing the soldiers to carry weapons, arrows, and supplies. Seeing Wang Zheng approaching, Wang Xiong trotted over to greet him, and first saluted: "The last general pays his respects to the general."

Wang Zheng waved his hand: "Since we're in the city, let the brothers rest for a few days after the meeting is over."

Wang Xiong was startled when he heard the words: "General, didn't you say that you rushed to Linhu immediately after landing? If you were worried about the lack of energy of the soldiers, it was too much to worry about. I don't know about the other divisions. We, the three divisions, will rush to Linhu as soon as they landed. Everyone is alive and well, wishing they could fight Sun Cejun as soon as possible!"

"I didn't know how Linhu was doing before, so I was naturally anxious." Wang Zheng explained, "Since Huang Zhong led the army to Linhu three days ago, and there is no report in return, it must not be a big problem. Now that there is Sun Ce in the city of Hefei Army, let's take a look at the situation first."

This is telling the truth, the little overlord Sun Ce is certainly not to be underestimated, but Huang Zhong, one of the five tiger generals, is by no means an ordinary person. If Wang Zheng hadn't wanted to completely wipe out Sun Ce, the great enemy this time, just for the sake of relief In Wang Zheng's view, it is enough for Huang Zhong, who is not considered a veteran now, to go out.

"Although Hefei is not a big city, there is no room for loss!"

"What the general said is true." Wang Xiong nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "There is such a water gate in the north of Hefei. As long as there are ships passing by, it is absolutely impossible to become an isolated city. Moreover, there is an endless supply of logistics supplies. It is indeed a strategic location."

"The north gate is certainly important." Hearing this, Wang Zheng turned his head and stared at the dock for a while, before he said calmly: "But it's a dead thing after all."

"In today's Hefei City, there is one person who deserves to stay and see what happened!"

Just like when he was in Zhao County and found out that the captain who came to quell the chaos was at the time of the ban, in Wang Zheng's heart at this time, since he met Zhou Yu, he would never let him go.

This kind of general talent, national scholar
Wang Zheng will never allow the other party's intelligence, greatness and strategy to be used against him one day in the future!

When he stepped out of the barracks, Wang Zheng was still thinking about Zhou Yu.

So busy, it's already dawn.

Walking on the streets of Hefei City with more than a dozen soldiers from the Tianzhu Camp, Wang Zheng looked around from time to time, but found that the city did not seem to have much wartime atmosphere. Many shops were still open, and there were even more pedestrians on the streets. There was an endless stream, which surprised Wang Zheng.

Is this what a city with soldiers approaching the city should look like?

You must know that when Wen Chou committed Kaiyang and Yuan Tan attacked Gao, from the first day onwards, except for soldiers and conscripted civilians, there were no other living people on the streets of the city, especially the atmosphere of the entire city. Extremely depressing and tense.

If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Zheng saw the military camp outside the city during the process of entering the dock, he would have suspected that He Hong and Sima Tang were deceiving him.

"Go and ask some local people." After pondering for a while, Wang Zheng ordered: "Why are the people here still so calm when there are enemies outside the city?"

"Here!"

Not long after, the sent soldiers came back with the same answer.

As early as the first day of the siege, rumors arose in the city as well, and the city residents were even more panic-stricken all day long. However, Zhou Yu, the county magistrate, informed the whole city that he had sent a messenger to ask for help from the state shepherd, and that Hefei had enough food and grass to feed the city. To support the military and civilians in the city for half a year, as long as the military and civilians defend the city with one heart, the enemy will never be able to break through Hefei!
Hearing this, the Hefei people let go of the heart that was hanging in the air a moment ago.

Zhou Lang said that the city of Hefei cannot be broken, so the enemy must have broken Hefei!
Well, you can rest assured!

There is no way, Gao Charming is like this. He was hanged to a Hefei county magistrate who had only been in office for half a year, but he was popular in the city. Its people, its words, its ability to believe.

After listening to the soldiers' narration, Wang Zheng was silent for a while, and even more confused.

What is speechless is that Zhou Yu's performance is a bit exaggerated, right?

What is confusing is that according to what the soldiers said, after appeasing the hearts of the people, Zhou Yu was indeed well defended, and he went to the top of the city to prevent Sun Ce's troops from advancing for more than ten days.
What's the situation?
Could it be the butterfly effect from my time travel that caused this pair of good friends to break up in advance before even writing the Soochow horoscope?

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, the reason why Huang Zhong ran to Linhu with so much peace of mind was also because he was so relieved of Zhou Yu?
I believe that with Zhou Yu, Hefei will not lose anything, and I also believe that
Zhou Yu is indeed still on Yuan Shu's side now?
While thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone calling from a distance: "Wang Zhoumu!"

Wang Zheng raised his eyes and saw a line of soldiers coming over carrying grain packages. The leader was Sima Tang. After the other party came up to greet him and saluted, Wang Zheng looked at the soldiers behind Sima Tang with burning eyes, and asked casually: : "Captain Sima, did you take these sons and daughters to collect rice among the people?"

"Why, isn't the savings in the official warehouse not enough?"

But he still remembered that the soldiers reported just now that Zhou Yu had said that there was enough food and grass in Hefei city, enough to last for half a year?
But Sima Tang's answer at the next moment dispelled his doubts.

"The state pastor misunderstood."

Sima Tang laughed and said: "The County Lord's Mansion has enough food and vegetables, but I'm still worried that tonight's welcome banquet will neglect nobles like Zhou Mu, so I ordered the general to buy some good rice just now."

"There is enough food and grass in Hefei now, so the state shepherd doesn't have to worry."

Afterwards, Sima Tang's explanation made Wang Zheng put aside his doubts for the time being.

The north gate of Hefei City is Daoshuimen, and it is built on the mountain. Attacking from the north gate, there is no other way but a hard attack by the navy. This is the reason why Hefei City can continuously replenish its supplies.

In addition, although it is located in the east of the Yangtze River, the climate in Hefei is essentially closer to the north. The climate is different from other counties in Yangzhou where there is a lot of rain all year round. All grains in stock can be stored for three years without spoiling.

Of course, Zhou Yu's "half a year fee" is indeed an exaggeration, after all, there is a soothing element in it.

But according to what Sima Tang said, the storage of two official warehouses in Hefei City is more than enough for three months.

Of course, unlike those Baixin who were completely relieved because of Zhou Yu's words, Sima Tang was still worried.

After all, Sun Ce's army outside the city has not yet retreated.

Even in the eyes of Sima Tang, the captain of the navy, once Sun Ce captures Linhu City, the strength and number of enemy attacks may not be what the current Hefei City can resist.

When it was getting dark, Wang Zhengshi returned to the barracks. Not long after, the carriage sent by He Hong to pick him up also arrived.

When the carriage approached He Hong's mansion, Wang Zheng took a look and saw a group of people were waiting for him respectfully at the door, but there was no sign of Zhou Yu.

He Hong’s banquet was quite delicious. The city of Hefei has a very good location. The Lujiang River in the south is mountainous, and the Jiujiang River is in the north. It was exquisite, served one after another, it really opened Wang Zheng's eyes, he couldn't hold back for a while, it was rare to have a full meal, and he was very happy to eat.

After drinking for three rounds, the two sides became more casual. During the dinner, He Hong asked Wang Zheng a lot. Only then did Wang Zheng realize that this Confucian scholar is very fond of military affairs. His real ability is not known for the time being. Some sentences in military books are easy to come by. Don't say that Wang Zheng's half-baked guy is far inferior, even in his opinion, he is almost able to compete with Mi Heng's mouth gun.

When the banquet was over, it was completely late. He Hong ordered several beautiful maidservants to lead Wang Zheng to a study for a while, and then sent the rest of them out one by one. When people are alone, when they raise their teacup again, the first words are compliments.

"The prefectural animal husbandry was not weak in the crown, and he was able to move freely and invincibly. It can be seen that the talent of the sky, it is no wonder that he can win the trust of the emperor and become the youngest township lord in the past hundred years of my great man."

He Hong raised his glass to congratulate him, and said: "With Zhou Mu here, I forgive that grandson thief will not be rampant anymore."

Wang Zheng smiled when he heard the words, pondered for a while, and said calmly: "He Gong's words are wrong."

"Just now you also said at the banquet, Sun Tzu said, soldiers are important to the country, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, you must pay attention to it."

"When the two armies are facing each other, how can anyone dare to say that they are sure of defeating the enemy?"
