Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 841 Fatal Strike

In such a situation where there is hope of victory, Liu Biao thinks that there are excellent civil and military personnel such as Huang Zhong, Liu Pan, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Liang. None of them succeeded in capturing any part of Jingbei, but they were indeed victorious.

As time goes by, Liu Biao gradually understands that every victory he wins is actually completely designed by Jingbei Zhou Yu.

Because of Zhou Yu's arrangement, Jingbei looked empty, so Liu Biao could see the hope of counterattacking Jingbei, and only in this way, Zhou Yu could gradually eliminate Yuan Shu's miscellaneous soldiers.

Liao Li, Yu Fan, and Gu Yong would not be inferior to Kuai Yue if they faced each other at the same time, but Liu Biao fought first, and Kuai Yue only had to deal with one person. In this case, even Liao Li could only retreat sadly.

It seems that Liu Biao has a great advantage in this situation, but the four counties in Jingnan are constantly weakening because of the continuous Northern Expedition. They can plunder a lot of weapons, armor, and food every time, but they lose every time. population.

As for the plundering of people, whenever Kuai Yue captured a large number of people and prepared to take them to Jingnan, the elite of Sun Ce's headquarters would appear, and then because of the burden of ordinary people, they had to fight against Sun Ce's headquarters.

Before, Kuai Yue wanted to rely on this to ambush Sun Ce, but after the only time he ambush Sun Ce and Zhou Yu appeared, Kuai Yue completely extinguished this idea. , Kuai Yue is definitely as far away as possible.

This method of plundering the population gradually made Liu Biao's reputation among ordinary people in Jingbei gradually decline. At that time, Gu Yong transferred the people in the war zone to Jiangdong in the name of the government. Weapons, armor, food and grass are heavy.

It can be said that this is the reason why Liu Biao had to put all his eggs in one basket. He needed to gamble, otherwise he would lose everything and be plotted to death by Zhou Yu!
Kuai Yue did see this strategy, but since Jiang Qin, Liu Xun and others who were stationed in Jingbei at that time led their troops to plunder Jingnan, Kuai Yue decisively chose to use offense instead of defense, although this method would make Liu Biao's army is getting weaker and weaker, but Zhou Yu has only two paths left for Liu Biao.

Either perish at this point, or use offense instead of defense to survive a stalemate for a while, and there is no way things will turn around. In this way, even if Kuai Yue is wise, he can only choose to drink poison to quench his thirst in the end and wait for the turnaround.

To be honest, Kuai Yue was actually not too optimistic about going all out to send troops to Jingnan this time, but then Liu Zhang's coordinated operations and Liu Bei's sudden attack made Kuai Yue see a turning point in things.

This is why Kuai Yue agreed with Liu Biao to lead the army to go to Jigui, and combine the strength of the three families to destroy Sun Ce as soon as possible. Only in this way, they will have hope of turning the tables, otherwise they will only be wasted.

"Liu Biao has sent troops." In a reed marsh in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu put together the letters and said with a chuckle, "Youping, find Jun Li."

"Here." Zhou Tai cupped his fists and saluted, then went to look for Zhu Zhi.

Soon Zhu Zhi rushed over. This veteran who had followed Sun Jian to conquer one side was not very well-known now compared to Huang Gai and others, but his ability was undeniable.

"General Zhu, sit down." After Zhou Yu returned the gift, he pointed to a few cases and said that he basically enjoyed the highest level of treatment under Sun Ce, but most of the time he treated people with incomparable gentleness.

"May I ask what Gongjin is asking me for this time?" Zhu Zhi asked after sitting down without being polite.

"The general and General Sun fought against bandits in Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang, so you must know a lot about Jingnan." Zhou Yu asked calmly.

"Aren't we going to rescue the Major General?" Zhu Zhi was taken aback. Seeing Zhou Yu's expression, something was obviously wrong. Many times under Sun Cejun's command, he couldn't figure out who Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were, but as the veteran who followed Sun Jian first, They make a clear distinction between orthodoxy.

"I will go to my righteous brother Bofu's place in person, but this time I will do what I need to do once." Zhou Yu didn't care about Zhu Zhi's expression at all, he knew very well that it was just the instinct of these veterans.

Sure enough, Zhu Zhi then apologized to Zhou Yu in an embarrassing manner, and Zhou Yu continued to ask indifferently.

"I do know a lot about Jingnan, but if our army divides up now, I'm afraid it won't be able to catch up." Zhu Zhi frowned and said.

"You go to Jingnan, Ziheng is there, probably the Wuxi Man has already formed an army, this is my back-up who stayed in Jingnan to attack Liu Biao from the north and the south, now it's easy." Zhou Yu looked at Zhu Zhi and asked road.

"Wuxi man? Is it credible?" Zhu Zhi frowned and said.

"It's believable. Their leader, Sha Moke, joined our army when I left Jingzhou, but you remember that in Jingnan, Wuxi people should be treated equally with our army." This time Zhou Yu didn't say anything about Wuximan. , directly addressing each other by region, the implication is self-evident.

"Okay." Zhu Zhi didn't hesitate any more, Zhou Yu had already done this, and letting him go was obviously to accumulate merit for him.

"After capturing Jingnan, just defend along the river. Don't hurt Liu Biao and Kuai Yidu's family. They are still useful. After Jingnan is stabilized, let Wuxi people and Shanyue do business on a large scale!" Zhou Yu said this time. It was a lot more solemn at the time. After all, it involved millions of people in Shanyue, so Zhou Yu couldn't help but be careless.

"Here!" Zhu Zhi said, bowing his hands and saluting.

Afterwards, Zhou Yu and Zhu Zhi talked about some matters related to the governance of Jingnan. After carefully explaining some taboos, Zhou Yu began to deduce the current situation on the map. As for the upcoming war in Jingnan, Zhou Yu was very relieved.

According to Zhou Yu's long-term suppression and the rare opportunity this time, Zhou Yu estimated that Liu Biao in Jingnan might not even have much of the basic stability maintenance army left.

【Kuai Yue is quite a good adviser. I am afraid that such a desperate strategy is also designed by him. If he has no back-up, he may succeed. I am afraid the only thing he did not expect is that I have been prepared, even in Bofu. Even if you are under siege, you can still take Jingnan. 】

Zhou Yu stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the surface of the Yangtze River. If there was no accident, Kuai Yue would probably find out in disbelief that Jingnan was no longer in their hands, as if they were stealing the city.

[In this way, as long as one more book is edited, Kuai Yue can successfully capture Yicheng. At that time, even if Kuai Yue is willing to rescue him, he will be powerless. 】After Zhou Yu made some estimates, he ordered someone to bring silk and prepare to write a letter to Gu Yong, explaining his plan, and sent the sergeant to Xiangyang
It's a pity that Zhou Yu never expected that his letter would fall into Liao Li's hands instead of Gu Yong's, and there were many twists and turns.
