Many years later, Li Su remembered two major news reports that came from June 12, the fourth year of Xingping. The heroes of the princes who guarded one side suddenly died or were seriously injured. He still sighed: History always likes to make many major events happen in a crowded manner.

The first one was brought by Liu Ye, the prefect of Liaodong, Mi Zhu, and the second one was brought by the Jiangdong Army's fast horse envoy when he recalled Zhou Yu. Although Li Su didn't know about this second one at that time, the Jiangdong Army blocked it very well, and he only heard about it after more than half a month.

Let’s put aside the matter between Mi Zhu and Liu Ye. Let’s first see what bad news Zhou Yu and Huang Gai heard from Sun Jian’s messenger Zhu Zhi.

Zhou Yu hurried back to the boat, let go of the fleet's cables, and went east to ensure that he was away from the Baqiu navy in Ganning, and then he called Zhu Zhi to ask clearly: "Zhu Junzhu, the lord attacked Danyang, Wujun was so smooth, and Wang Lang had already retreated back to Shanyin. How could an accident happen? How was the lord's injury?"

Huang Gai: "That's it! The lord is very skilled in martial arts, how could he be seriously injured! This is impossible!"

Zhu Zhi said sadly: "The lord is very skilled in martial arts, and he will first encounter an enemy. This is of course known to everyone in the world, but the bad thing is that the lord is compassionate with his soldiers and personally attacks every time he fights."

Zhou Yu: "That's because he personally supervised the battle to attack Moling City and was injured by the ravage arrow?"

Zhu Zhi: "No, it's not that simple."

Huang Gai: "Let Junli say it! Gongjin, don't interrupt!"

Zhou Yu gave Huang Gai anger a blank look, but he didn't say anything, but just raised his hand to signal Zhu Zhi to continue.

Zhu Zhi: "That's right. The lord was anxious because he had been unable to attack Moling for a long time and supervised the battle every day. However, Zhang Changshi and Cheng Demou were both mature and steadfast people, and they would send enough long-term players to cover the lord, and would not be injured by the arrows and stones of the defenders on the city.

The key is that in mid-May, shortly after you left, the lord was killed or killed by the soldiers and Wu County had been pacified. He began to find ways to recruit new soldiers from Wu County to attack the city, and he also used more Xu Gong, and Yan Baihu's captured prisoners, and forced them to attack first with a long spear and a hard crossbow..."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu didn't think there was any problem. As a warlord, it is normal for him to cherish the lives of his own and experienced veterans and let the new affiliated army become cannon fodder.

I heard that King Liu Bei of Hanzhong was ordered to attack the rebel Zhang Lu four or five years ago, which also allowed the Baibo thief who had just surrendered to Guan Yu to take on the cannon fodder mission of Yifu to attack Yangping Pass? It was even more valuable to save his life and the elite Youzhou army's direct lineage.

It seems that Sun Jian can do this without any problem.

Zhou Yu: "How come you get hurt? Tell me the point!"

Zhu Zhi: "The lord captured the new military ant affiliation. At the time, many prisoners of war in Wujun had complained. But at this moment, some scattered soldiers and brave men from Wujun who had fled before were led by several local tyrants in Wujun. They said that they valued the rewards they offered publicly and were willing to take the initiative to take the initiative to attack the city. The lord was overjoyed and accepted the effectiveness of these people.

Unexpectedly, after being incorporated into the siege force, the Wujun Youyong was afraid of the war and clashed with the supervising warlord at the beginning. Because there were too many people, the lord was not willing to strictly enforce the military law. The officers who led the team also explained that they were excluded and made things difficult by the supervising generals and school, so they refused to fight to the death. They said that if the lord was willing to supervise the war himself and witness their bravery and make achievements, they would reward the promises and believe the promises. They would be willing to fight to the death and take down Moling City first.

As you all know, the lord has always liked to personally motivate the soldiers. Those Wujun You Yongshou shouted for injustice to supervise the battle and witness it themselves. How could the lord not agree? He brought a hundred personal guards and shield hands to come to the city to supervise the battle in this Wujun You Yongshou.

Unexpectedly, shortly after the siege of the city and started the war that day, the Wujun Youyong suddenly turned against each other and shouted, "We are the disciples of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun, and we will avenge our Lord today!", "We are the members of the Lukang tribe of Wujun, and we will avenge our Lord!", and we all swarmed and killed our lords.

There were only dozens of direct confidant guards near the lord, and the other friendly troops were unable to rescue the troops for a while. After half an incense stick, they completely killed the two teams of nearly a thousand people, Wujun Youyong, and killed hundreds of thieves. But the lord was outnumbered for a while and was hit by two swords.

Moreover, at that time, they were originally supervising the battle of the Ant Attack, and the players around the lord covered the arrow rain on the city with long shields. During the battle between the riots under the city, all the players were stormed, and countless dead people were covered. The rain on the city was covered with arrow rain on the city. The lord also got several arrows. Although he was protected by iron armor, he was still seriously injured."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu fell to the deck in shock.

Sun Jian actually killed Lu Kang, the chief of the Lu clan of Wu County, and Xu Gong, the local prefect of Wu County. As a result, he was killed by Lu Kang's clan and Xu Gong's disciples, and was seriously injured by the assassination of undercover agents.

However, Zhou Yu did not know history, so he didn't know that Sun Jian had brought all the hatred values ​​of the enemy forces that would have backfired the Sun family. If they did not assassinate Sun Jian, they might assassinate Sun Ce too.

Because of the butterfly effect, Sun Jian did not compete with Liu Biao for territory, avoided Huang Zu's arrows and stones, but did not avoid the internal and external attacks under Moling City.

It can only be said that Sun Jian and Sun Ce have such personalities, and both like to take risks and inspire morale. Even if they beat the God of Death dozens of times, it would be enough to win them once. As Guo Jia later commented: "A common man is brave, has a weak and less planning, and is light and unprepared, and will die at the hands of a villain."

Zhou Yu had been slowing down for a long time and asked Zhu Zhi how the situation was and whether the front line was stable. But Zhu Zhi didn't know either. He could only say that the situation had not changed when he came to report the news.

Zhou Yu ordered the fleet to accelerate, accelerate again, and rushed down the river quickly.

Six days later, Zhou Yu used both sails and waved to the wind and rushed back to the boundary of Danyang County, and landed on the Dangtu.

Fortunately, when Zhou Yu came back, he saw Sun Ce with a sad expression, wearing a white cloth to greet him.

"Bo Fu, what's the situation of the battle? Lord... This is..."

"My father is seriously injured and has no cure..." Sun Ce said sadly, "But fortunately, I also captured Moling, comforted my father's spirit in heaven, killed Zhou Xin and Xu Gong's entire clan, and the relatives who stayed in his hometown in Wuxian, which was considered revenge."

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did he capture Moling City instead? Has the situation stabilized?"

Hello everyone, our public account will find cash and red envelopes every day. You can get it by following it. The last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Official account [Book Friends Camp]

Sun Ce cried bitterly and said, "It's also a big deal about Zhou Xin's arrogantness. He knew that Xu Gong was dead and Wang Lang had retreated. No matter how long he was trapped in Moling's lonely city, there wouldn't be reinforcements. So that day at the top of the city, Zhou Xin saw that his father was injured by an arrow and the central army was also cut down by the rebels. He thought he had a chance and wanted to fight to the death.

Zhou Xin opened the south gate of Moling City and wanted to go out of the city to intercept the central army formation where my father was. Fortunately, General Cheng, General Han and Zhang Changshi used their lives to suppress the military discipline, and did not let the army become chaotic because of his father's sudden serious injury. Instead, he supported me in the army, raised new flags and counterattacked in the face of the battle.

Zhou Xin did not expect that our army could still maintain command when it lost its commander. I personally killed and chased into the southern gate of Moling with defeated soldiers, and then completely broke the city. This Moling City was equivalent to the fact that my father had tempted the enemy to get his life. I would rather surround him for another year or two to break the city!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu sighed with regret: "Forget it, fortunately, the foundation established by the former lord was not unstable because of his death. The generals could support Bo Fu and unite people's hearts, but they did not sacrifice in vain. The most urgent task for the present is to immediately consolidate the territory of the four counties that have been seized, completely stabilize it, and not make any mistakes. This is the real comfort to the spirit of the former lord in heaven. Even Wang Lang, let it go first, and don't rush to kill."

Sun Ce wiped his tears and asked, "Now I am still blocking the news and not allowing my father's death to spread across the river, but I can't hide it for long. If Cao Cao and Yuan Shu heard about it, would he come to attack?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while: "Cao Cao and Yuan Shu also have internal troubles, and it is impossible to have the strength to cross the Yangtze River to attack. However, Jiujiang and Lujiang counties in the north of the Yangtze River are probably... the worst case is better to pretend to show weakness and say that the south of the Yangtze River has not yet been pacified and the Sun family has nowhere to return, and pray that Yuan Shu will leave the land of Lujiang County and will still be granted to Sun family.

When it really didn't work, Jiujiang County had to give it to Yuan Shu for the time being. Yuan Shu accepted a county and had faced it, and cut off the area bordering our army and Cao Cao. It can block Cao Cao's ambitions for us and slowly manage the new Jiangdong affiliation land with peace of mind."

The core of Zhou Yu's scam was to make Yuan Shu temporarily feel that "Sun Jian actually didn't get much territory in Jiangdong. It might not even cost a whole county, and it was all ruined by continuous wars. If it weren't for Lujiang County, Sun Ce would have lost the base area where he continued to serve Yuan Shu."

Then, on this basis, as long as Jiujiang County, that is, the surrounding area of ​​Shouchun, hand over it, satisfy Yuan Shu's ambition and face, then pretend to be respectful to Yuan Shu again, and it is still okay to stabilize the dry bones in the tomb for one or two years.

Sun Jian took his life, and after conquering three counties, he spit out one county, and actually only made net profits of two counties. But who made the Sun family come from a humble background? The backlash that the nouveau riche suffered in the late Han Dynasty was so fierce.

Of course, if Wang Lang was finally defeated, Sun Ce's net profit could be expanded to three counties. And no matter what, the starting point of Sun Ce's business in this generation was much higher than that in the same period in history. His father's death left him at least three or four complete counties.

...

While Zhou Yu led the fleet back frantically, Li Su sincerely received his old acquaintance Liu Ye in Baqiu City.

Liu Ye was rescued from the thief's nest of Danyang Haoshou Zheng Bao when Li Su led Guan Yu and Zhou Tai recruited Danyang soldiers. Of course, Liu Ye was also both civil and military. At the last moment, he personally killed Zheng Bao anyway.

Later, he replaced Li Su as a detacher in Youzhou, and had a good relationship with Mi Zhu. He also helped Mi Zhu act together to win over Xu Rong and deal with Gongsun Du. He was the best relationship with Mi Zhu among the state-level adjutants in Youzhou.

However, Li Su also knew that Liu Ye's lord was always Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou. Since the end of last year, he should have been called King Yan Liu Yu. No matter how good Liu Ye has a relationship with Mi Zhu, no matter how much money Mi Zhu spends to win people's hearts in recent years, it is not going to let Liu Ye go directly to Mi Zhu, right?

Of course, Li Su had to ask this question: "Liu Biejia, since you are a subordinate of the King of Yan, why did you appear in the caravan of Mi Fujun? Could it be that there was any major change in the north?"

Liu Ye sighed compassionately: "The King of Yan did not listen to my advice, because General Fenwu has been intercepting and killing the envoys who sent him to win over the Wuhuan tribe who had been scattered on the grassland, robbed his property, and slaughtered the tribe, so he wanted to deprive General Fenwu of his military power and take him down.

I have repeatedly said that the King of Yan is not familiar with military affairs and only knows benevolence and righteousness to recruit compassion. The direct troops are probably not the opponent of General Fenwu, so he told him not to act rashly, but he refused to listen, so he still asked his subordinates to take thousands of troops into Yuyang City with the king's orders, and suddenly arrest General Fenwu.

After taking action, he was still reluctant to set fire to the house and to rob the people. As a result, General Fenwu was defended by the dock and took the initiative to set fire to the city, causing chaos and then escaped.

After General Fenwu escaped from the city, he immediately gathered elite cavalry and turned around to attack the King of Yan's headquarters. The defenders of Ji County did not receive any warnings. Unexpectedly, the war broke out, but were successfully captured by General Fenwu and went straight into the royal palace to capture the King of Yan.

In the first few days, General Fenwu did not dare to take action, but just blocked the news. But later he colluded with Li Jue and Guo Si, and insulted a Chang'an envoy who was holding a chastity near Youji in the name of the Chang'an court, and coerced and called the angel to kill the King of Yan! The charge was that Yuan Shao had tried to support the King of Yan, but the King of Yan did not refuse completely, and did not question Yuan Shao's rebellion, so he slandered the King of Yan that Yuan Shao's support was actually the secret instructed by the King of Yan! The King of Yan was so cruel!"

After hearing this sentence, Li Su was as shocked as if five thunders were thundering.

His great benefactor Liu Yu died! Liu Bei's great benefactor Liu Yu died! Liu Yu was instructed to select Liu Bei and Li Sumaocai, and this kind of kindness must be remembered for the rest of his life.

In the end, he died under Gongsun Zan's killing of the Lord.

Of course, it is also a big blame for the conflict between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan that has accumulated to this level. Liu Yu insisted on taking Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan would definitely not sit still and wait for death, which was forced to fight back.

However, the charges of Gongsun Zan's killing Liu Yu in this life seemed to be different from those in the original history, and the persuasiveness was also a little worse - this was mainly because Liu Yu had fewer black spots in this life, and Gongsun Zan was not easy to catch the handle.

In the end, it turned out to be "Yuan Shao advised you to be emperor, but you just refused, but did not ask for any crime. After you became the King of Yan, you nominally commanded the six states of Guandong, and did not surrender the king's order to kill Yuan Shao for the crime. It can be seen that Yuan Shao was arranged by you to support you, and you are a hypocrite who said you should not secretly persuade people to advance."

But let alone, Gongsun Zan's false accusation is still a bit deceptive. After all, everyone knows that many "persuading" behaviors may be instructed by the beneficiaries - later Hua Xin persuaded Cao Pi, wasn't it just such a drama?

However, Liu Yu knew that he did not have the power to kill Yuan Shao, and it was impossible for him to kill a prince just because of a few suggestions, but he ended up leaving a handle that was not a handle.

After sighing for a while, Li Su also came to his senses and realized that Liu Yu's death would definitely cause a super big change in the north, so he hurriedly asked: "What is the situation in You and Ji after the murder of King Yan?"

Liu Ye: "The Prince of Yan, Liu He, fled to Yecheng and asked Yuan Shao for help. Yuan Shao had already sent Yan Liang and Lu Bu to besiege Zhang Yan and was about to take down Shangdang. After hearing the news, Yan Liang was immediately recalled. He announced that the entire army would filial piety to the King of Yan, and vowed to avenge the revenge, and supported the Prince Liu He to succeed the throne, and raised Quenior Yi, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang He, and raised 200,000 troops to kill Gongsun Zan, the thief who killed the master.

After Zhang Yan got a breather, he joined forces with Gongsun Zan to resist Yuan Shao with Shangdang, which had not yet been captured by Yuan and Lu, and the remaining counties of Taiyuan.
