Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 513 "How did my little sister come to Wu County?"

Zhou Yu originally planned to lure Pang Yan's Xiongba camp into an ambush by using a trick to lure the enemy. Naturally, Zhou Yu needed to reduce the burden of logistics materials, so he only left himself half a month to a month in Youquan County. Grain reserves.

Unexpectedly, Pang Yan bypassed Youquan County and went directly to Qiantang County, and then Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's army was defeated. Captured by Pang Yanjun.

Since then, Zhou Yu did not dare to come to Qiantang County and had to withdraw to Wu County and Lou County, but he faced another problem of food shortage. The food for nearly 2 people is not a small amount.

Now Zhou Yu has stationed his army in Lou County near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then wants to build ships here to go to sea, and also hopes to supplement some food through fishing.

Previously, Zhou Yu searched for a long time in Wu County and found more than a dozen large and small river boats, which could barely carry two to three thousand people, but now he still has nearly 3000 troops in his hands. Of course, Zhou Yu could not easily abandon these troops.

So after finding no ships, Zhou Yu could only find a way to build them himself.

However, after the last looting, Zhou Yu can't find any craftsmen such as boatmen, and even the civilian laborers can't be arrested, so Zhou Yu can only look for those who can build ships from the Danyang new army. If you are young and strong, try to build a ship by yourself and go to sea, and then look for an opportunity to return to Guangling County, or directly bypass the Qiantang River and enter Kuaiji County, then there may be a way out.

But the problem is that Cai Mao's Jiangling navy often blocks the river. Zhou Yu had no choice but to send people out of the river to fish with existing river boats to make up for the problem of food and grass. location.

Once Zhou Yu's current position is blocked by Cai Mao's Jiangling navy, there is no way he can go out of the river.

But then again, let alone fishing in such a sneaky way, even if Zhou Yu is really allowed to send people to fish in the river and sea, it is impossible to solve Zhou Yu's food and grass problem.

Therefore, during this period of time, there have been deserters in Zhou Yu's army, mainly among the new Danyang troops. Losing the will to fight in their hearts, they will flee as long as they find an opportunity.

Zhou Yu had nothing to do about it, and he couldn't suppress it by force.

Now Zhou Yu has nothing in his hands to attract them to stay. If he blindly uses beheading to suppress them, it will only lead to the collapse of the entire army and a direct outbreak of civil strife.

After all, these Danyang new troops also have weapons in their hands. As long as they are oppressed hard and they join forces to resist, it will only cause Zhou Yu's entire army to collapse.

Now even those elite soldiers from Guangling County are not stable under the influence of Danyang's new recruits. They all want to go home. For the time being, Zhou Yu can only use the excuse of building a ship to go home to appease them.

But Zhou Yu knew very well that Cai Mao's Jiangling navy had a tighter blockade on Guangling County. Even if Zhou Yu had enough ships, he might not be able to pass Cai Mao's navy's blockade on the Yangtze River.

So these days, Zhou Yu, who is almost left as a bare-handed commander, has no one else to help and can only manage everything by himself, but his heart is getting more and more lost.

However, although Zhou Yu kept the location of his army secret, the deserters who escaped from his army still exposed the location of Zhou Yu's army, so Sun Shangxiang found Zhou Yu's camp under such a situation.

When Zhou Yu heard that it was Sun Shangxiang who had come, he seemed to have some feeling in his heart, but he still invited Sun Shangxiang to enter the army camp to speak.

"How did my little sister come to Wu County?"

Zhou Yu was sitting in the main tent, and when he saw Sun Shangxiang entering the main tent, he immediately asked this question. Based on the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu was also an acquaintance in Sun Ce's family, so he could also call Sun Shangxiang a junior just like Sun Ce. sister.

"Brother Gongjin, my younger sister is from the Zhu Wei army this time, and she is here to persuade my brother to cease fighting!"

When Sun Shangxiang saw Zhou Yu, she could clearly feel that Zhou Yu's figure was a little thin, his hair was a little disheveled, and his clothes were also stained. This was really very different from the handsome Zhou Yu she had seen before, who was out of shape every now and then.

So Sun Shangxiang looked at Zhou Yu and couldn't help but said with some regret, and did not hide her whereabouts and purpose.

Zhou Yu continued to look at Sun Shangxiang without any surprise when he heard the words, and after a little thought, he asked, "Do you know the news about Bofu?"

"Brother has already died in battle in Dantu. The two uncles Huang Gai and Han Dang who followed him have been captured by Zhu Wei's army. Uncle Cheng Pu also died in battle outside Danyang City! Earlier, my younger sister also heard that Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin and Qin were also captured by Zhu Wei's army in Qiantang County, so brother has done his best, there is no need to continue fighting! Brother, Sun has already decided to dedicate Guangling County to Zhu Wei, and Sun intends to belong to Zhu Wei!"

When Sun Shangxiang spoke about Sun Ce, her tone became slightly depressed. In addition, she naturally knew from Wang Yuyan what happened to the three veterans who followed Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu, and she also knew from Wang Yuyan. Understand the war situation in Qiantang County.

It's just that when Sun Shangxiang talked about the intention of the Sun family in Guangling County, he looked at Zhou Yu with a little apology.

Zhou Yu was not surprised when he heard the words, he just sighed, "Oh, this is the way out! Who brought up this matter, could it be Mr. Zhang Hong, no, no, Mr. Zhang Hong would not take the initiative to say such a thing, So it's Sun Quan? Hey, is it the younger sister? Why does it seem that the younger sister is a little different from the past!"

Zhou Yu obviously also thought about the situation that Guangling County might be facing now, so investing in Zhu Wei is indeed the best way out for the Sun family. In fact, if Zhou Yu brought people back to Guangling County safely, he would persuade the Sun family to bow to Zhu Wei temporarily.

However, at that time, Guangling County had the troops and population brought back by Zhou Yu, so it was still possible to negotiate conditions with Zhu Wei, and perhaps maintain an independent status as a foreign vassal.

In this way, Zhou Yu is also confident that he can persuade the Sun clan, and then he will support Sun Quan and help Sun Quan find opportunities for development in Guangling County.

But the current Guangling County is not qualified to negotiate conditions with Zhu Wei, so it can only be humiliated and let Zhu Wei handle the arrangement of the Sun family. This is probably unacceptable to many Sun family members.

So Zhou Yu really couldn't figure out who among the Sun clan could think of this step, and who could persuade the Sun clan to do this.

Zhou Yu naturally thought of Zhang Hong at the first moment, but as Zhang Hong's outsider status, it is naturally impossible to suggest that the Sun family vote for Zhu Wei, so it can only be proposed by the Sun family's own people. From human understanding, perhaps only Sun Quan could think of this step.

But when he saw Sun Shangxiang in front of him, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that this unruly little girl who had always wanted to lead the army around Sun Ce had a different temperament. She was not as unruly and willful as before. She seemed to have matured a lot .

Thinking that it was Sun Shangxiang who came to Wu County now, and it seemed that it was from Zhu Weijun who persuaded him to surrender, then Zhou Yu couldn't help but think of a possibility, that is, Sun Shangxiang made this suggestion in the Sun family and persuaded the Sun family members.

In this way, the way Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but change a bit. This little girl has grown up too fast...
