The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 326
"There will be opportunities in the future. The most important thing at the moment is not to capture Jiangdong, but to drive Zhou Yu out of Xuzhou first. I don't know where Zhou Yu is now. It is not easy for Xuzhou to find him so big."

Li Yuanyu said earnestly, every time he goes out to play Xi Zhicai, he will plan the overall situation for him. It can be said that he will think of every step, but now Zhou Yu broke all the plans when he just left the teacher. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. This is enough to see how powerful Zhou Yu is.

Li Yuan was waiting for news from various places in Lujiang. At this time, Zhao Yun had almost arrived in Guangling County. Zhao Yun was always cautious. Although he marched in a hurry along the way, he was very careful along the way, and would send out horses to check the situation every once in a while.

The Flying Cavalry Army is not far from Guangling now, Zhao Yun has sent scouts to Guangling to investigate the situation, and scouts came back half an hour later.

"General Zhao, Guangling has been captured by Zhou Yu!" The soldiers who inquired about the information came back to report.

Zhao Yun frowned upon hearing this, and said solemnly, "Zhou Yu is really powerful. The prefect of Guangling, Chen Dao, has been guarding Guangling for many years. He has never made a mistake, but he still failed to stop Zhou Yu's attack. How is the situation there now?"

"Although Guangling was breached, Zhou Yu's army is not in the city, and General Chen Dao is nowhere to be found. The granary in the city has been burned, and there is no food available in Guangling now."

"Sure enough, as the military advisor expected, Zhou Yu went deep into Xuzhou just to disturb our army's rear. He abandoned the city just to burn food and grass. The purpose is to prevent us from chasing him when we run out of food. It's really cunning."

Zhao Yun felt that the opponent was difficult to deal with. They had marched in a hurry along the way, so they only brought food and grass for a few days. They originally planned to get some supplies in Guangling, but Zhou Yu burned the granary in Guangling. How could they get any food? for them.

Wei Ming, the deputy general beside Zhao Yun, said: "General Zhao, should we continue to pursue Zhou Yu? According to the military adviser, if we did not meet Zhou Yu along the way, it means that Zhou Yu did not go to Xiapi and Shouchun, but went to After defeating Langya, Langya's guards must have not prepared for anything, and I am afraid they will not escape Zhou Yu's attack."

"Chasing, of course we have to chase, Deputy General Wei, you send people to Xiapi and Shouchun respectively, and say that Zhou Yu has gone to Langya, let General Hua Xiong and my senior brother pay more attention to the situation here, Xiapi is very close to Langya, Zhou Yu It is very possible to go directly to Xiapi after the sneak attack on Langya. You must tell my elder brother to be careful. If Shouchun’s situation is not urgent, General Hua Xiong can go to Xiapi to help. Now I am not enough to encircle Zhou Yu, and I need their help. Just do it." Zhao Yun instructed Wei Ming.

"It's General Zhao!" Wei Ming immediately sent people to Xiapi and Shouchun, and at the same time sent another person to Lujiang to tell Li Yuan about Guangling.

After arranging everything, Zhao Yun immediately led his soldiers and horses into Guangling. After entering the city, he found that there were very few people on the street. It seemed that they were all frightened by the sudden appearance of Zhou Yu, so now the people dare not go out at will. Since Li Yuan After the capture of Xuzhou, Guangling has never suffered a war. Now that the enemy has fallen from the sky, it is normal for the people to be afraid.

Zhao Yun sent his men to appease the people. He led some soldiers to check the granary. The granary was burned down. Fortunately, there was not much grain in Guangling, otherwise the loss would be great.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun noticed something was wrong, because he smelled a smell of meat, which should not be the smell when the grain and grass are on fire. He took out his sword and kept digging. Heitan's body, he seemed to be aware of something, and asked people to lift up all the rubble.

It took the soldiers an hour to clean up the rubble. Underneath were the corpses of soldiers. There were thousands of them. Some of the incompletely burned corpses had turned into piles of cooked meat. Bursts of meaty aroma continued to come out, and many people couldn't bear it and vomited it out.

"What a Zhou Yu, no wonder I said that I couldn't even find a single soldier. So you burned all our soldiers to death. You are so cruel. I, Zhao Yun, must cut off your head myself!" There was a "crackling" sound from his fists. He is a person who rarely gets angry. It seems that nothing in this world can make him angry, but Zhou Yu's attacking attitude makes him unable to control his emotions.

"What's the matter, husband?" Lu Lingqi ran over to check after appeasing the people. When he saw the charred corpse on the ground, he finally understood why Zhao Yun was so angry.

"Let's go, go to the prefect's mansion." Zhao Yun was so angry that his body trembled a little, not to mention Lu Lingqi, even Li Yuan had never seen Zhao Yun get so angry.

Zhao Yun didn't see Chen Dao even after arriving at the prefect's mansion. The huge prefect's mansion was empty without even a single person. It seemed that Chen Dao was in danger this time. He was either killed by Zhou Yu or taken away by Zhou Yu.

"General Zhao, there is a letter stuck with a dagger at the gate of the meeting hall." Wei Ming handed the letter to Zhao Yun, who took it and opened it.

"If I'm not wrong, it must be you, Zhao Yun, who came to chase me. The flying cavalry army is famous all over the world, and their marching speed is extremely fast, so Li Yuan will definitely send you to chase me. Guangling was broken by me, Zhou Yu. Zhao Yun, don't you Blame me for being ruthless, burning the soldiers to death was a last resort. Those soldiers were loyal to Li Yuan, even if they surrendered to me, I would not trust them with me, so I had to kill them. I advise you not to chase them. Otherwise, you will be the next to die."

"What a Zhou Yu, let me, Zhao Yun, come and meet you for a while!" Zhao Yun threw away the letter. Faced with Zhou Yu's provocation, he also became emotional, and he was bound to catch up with Zhou Yu.

In fact, Zhou Yu's approach was not wrong. After all, he was deep behind the enemy and led few troops, so even if he captured Guangling, he would not be able to hold it, so he abandoned the city and burned all the soldiers and food in Guangling.

There were thousands of soldiers in Guangling. Even if these soldiers surrendered, Zhou Yu didn't trust them, because he was worried that these soldiers would suddenly rebel, and it was impossible for him to leave these soldiers to Li Yuan, so he had to kill them all.

From the point of view of righteousness, Zhou Yu is indeed unrighteous, but Zhou Yu's actions are in the best interests of him and Sun Ce. Only by defeating Li Yuan's vital forces as much as possible can the whole situation be reversed. The most direct way is to Burning Li Yuan's food and grass and killing Li Yuan's soldiers, he knew that he would be infamy if he did so, but he would not hesitate to help Sun Ce unify the world even if he would be infamous for thousands of years.
