Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Before he fainted, Zhou Yu used up his last bit of strength to order everyone to continue the fierce attack. However, when everyone heard that Wu County had been besieged by enemy troops and Commander-in-Chief Zhou Yu suddenly fainted, their morale was immediately crushed and their will to fight disappeared in an instant.

At this time, Cheng Pu had been concentrating on observing the situation of the enemy. He saw that the soldiers in the enemy camp were all in high spirits and high-spirited, they were closely arranged in a strict formation, and it was obvious that they were fully prepared to fight.

Facing such an enemy force that was well prepared and full of vigor, Cheng Pu knew that even if his side put all their efforts into launching an all-out attack, it would probably be difficult to win.

After a brief and intense inner struggle, Cheng Pu made the decision without hesitation.

He quickly took over the command on the battlefield and shouted loudly: "Retreat! Everyone listen up, retreat immediately! No delay!"

As the order was given, the Wu army, which was originally in some chaos, began to retreat in an orderly manner, gradually moving away from this battlefield full of dangers and variables.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes and his consciousness gradually regained consciousness from the chaos.

In a daze, he saw that he was surrounded by familiar and concerned faces, and then he realized that he was among the crowd.

Zhou Yu tried to stay alert and asked in a weak voice, "My lord, is there any news?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Pu in the crowd stepped forward and responded, "Reporting to the governor, up to now, no news about the lord has been transmitted back. But don't worry, I have already ordered a number of smart and capable scouts to be dispatched in advance. They are heading to the front to investigate the situation. I believe they will be able to bring back accurate information soon."

After hearing these words, Zhou Yu's already tense nerves not only did not relax at all, but became even tighter.

He was extremely anxious and wanted to get up immediately to understand the battle situation himself, but his body felt like it was being pressed down by a mountain and he could not move at all.

When he tried to sit up straight, a piercing pain suddenly hit him, drowning him like a surging tide.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but gasp, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. In the end, he had to stop because he couldn't bear the severe pain anymore.

"That Uncle Liu is so treacherous! If he succeeds in attacking Wu County, I'm afraid it won't last long with the current defense force of Wu County!"

Zhou Yu's face was full of worry and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had already seen the tragic scene of Wu County's fall.

Cheng Pu on the side quickly comforted him, saying, "This matter has not yet been determined, so you don't need to worry too much.

Didn’t you mention it just now? Uncle Liu is a cunning and scheming person.

Therefore, this so-called sneak attack on Wu County was most likely just a false message he deliberately released to disrupt the morale of our army."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little. But in an instant, a thought suddenly came to his mind, causing his face to tighten, and then he shouted loudly: "Where is Zijing? Where is Zijing!" His voice was full of anxiety and worry.

"Don't worry, Grand Commander. Please wait a moment. I will go and invite him over."

Seeing this, Lu Meng quickly responded and then walked out of the tent at a quick pace.

After a while, Lu Su was seen hurriedly following Lu Meng into the tent.

Before he even stood firmly on his feet, Lu Su couldn't wait to ask, "Gongjin, is your health feeling better now?" His words were full of concern.

However, Zhou Yu did not respond to Lu Su's greeting. He stared at Lu Su with his piercing eyes and asked directly, "I heard that Emperor Liu is leading his people to besiege Wu County. Is this news true or false?"

As he said this, Zhou Yu leaned forward unconsciously, as if he wanted to get a definite answer from Lu Su immediately.

"This is true." Lu Su answered affirmatively without any hesitation.

"Before the war officially started, I had already carried out a detailed calculation and analysis of the military strength of Emperor Liu. After careful study, I found that in this war, Emperor Liu had already mobilized all of his troops to fight.

Just a few days ago, all my troops were deployed opposite it, ready for battle.

Even if Emperor Liu wanted to take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Wu County, how could he mobilize such a large force in such a short period of time?

You know, Wu County is a thousand miles away from here! Even if we dispatch reinforcements from where we are now to Wu County for support, it will be difficult to arrive quickly in this limited time.

Moreover, I have already carefully deployed sufficient troops along the Yangtze River. If Emperor Liu really sent a large number of troops to try to pass through here, how could he not leave behind the slightest clues and obvious signs? "

Looking at Zhou Yu's originally handsome face which now looked extremely pale and bloodless, Lu Su couldn't help but feel an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air around became heavy and depressing.

After a long time, Lu Su finally seemed to have made up his mind and slowly said, "Well, Gongjin! I once promised Liu Huangshu that I would never reveal the details of his plan to attack Wu County to anyone.

But...but when I see how anxious and worried you are now, I really can't bear to hide anything from you anymore.

Ever since you sent Kan Ze across the Yangtze River to carry out the self-torture plan, Liu Huangshu has cleverly used scarecrows to replace most of the soldiers in the army.

These replaced soldiers, led personally by Emperor Liu, began a thrilling galloping journey in the dark night with twinkling stars.

They set out from Huaiyin in Guangling County, sailed around Jianye, landed at Jiaxing, and attacked Wu County directly.

Gongjin knows Jiaxing's defense best. Can Jiaxing's weak defenders resist Liu Huangshu's elite troops?"
