The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 371 Good News
In fact, Zhou Yu is not very sure about his fire plan. If he faces others, he still has some confidence, but he has less than [-]% confidence in facing Li Yuan who personally leads the army, so seeing Li Yuan's army appearing here intact He wasn't too surprised, because he already guessed that Li Yuan would see through his scheme.

"General Li Liao praised me. No matter how smart I am, it's not that you saw through my schemes. I'm far less clever than you." Zhou Yu said modestly.

Li Yuan ignored Zhou Yu, looked at Sun Ce, and said, "Bo Fu, I've already explained what I said. The choice is up to you. Go back and think about it."

A hesitant look appeared on Sun Ce's face, he nodded slightly, and led his troops back to the city.

Zhou Yu noticed the change on Sun Ce's face. After returning to the city, he immediately went to find Sun Ce, stepped back from the left and right sides, and asked, "Bo Fu, do you mean to surrender?"

Sun Ce sighed: "Actually, what Li Yuan said is not unreasonable. It is difficult for our army to defeat him now. If we continue to fight, we will only let the soldiers die in vain. This is not what I want to see. They also have family members and parents. , I can’t just think about myself.”

"Bo Fu's words are wrong. We were weak when we were not established in Jiangdong, and no one in the world favored us, but Jiangdong was still taken by us. Although we are at a disadvantage now, it is not impossible to turn defeat into victory. In the past, no matter how difficult things we encountered, you were never discouraged, that's why the soldiers followed you wholeheartedly, as well as General Cheng, General Han and General Huang, they absolutely didn't want you to surrender without a fight, Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the name of your father Jiangdong Tiger, please consider carefully!"

Zhou Yu held Sun Ce's arm tightly with both hands, looking very excited.

"Gong Jin is right. I can't surrender, otherwise I will be sorry for my father's name. This battle is a last stand. We must defend Wu County!" Sun Ce regained his confidence. Zhou Yu always stood up when he was most helpless Give him confidence.

"That's right. Although Li Yuan is powerful, as long as we stick to Wu County, he will have nothing to do with us. I still have [-] troops in Wu County, and there is enough food and grass. I can last for a long time. There is a lot of food and grass consumption, as long as he runs out of food, he will definitely retreat, and we will take advantage of the opportunity to attack him, and we will be able to turn defeat into victory." Zhou Yu has made up his mind, and their only way now is to delay until Li Yuan has no food. That's when they fight back.

"This is also what I am worried about. Li Yuan has a lot of soldiers and horses, as well as a lot of food and grass. Can we delay until he runs out of food?" Sun Ce expressed doubts about this.

"Don't worry, don't forget that they are in Jiangdong now, but their grain and grass are transported by boats, so it is very difficult for them to transport grain and grass logistics. I know there is a small road that can lead from Wujun to Moling. I will send Keep attacking with troops and horses, sneak attacking Li Yuan's grain team, this will make his army's morale messed up."

"That's great, but will Li Yuan know about this path and lay an ambush here?"

"It's impossible for Li Yuan to know. Only people in Wu County know this road. It's impossible for outsiders to know." Zhou Yu showed a confident smile on his face, but he forgot that Lu Xun, who joined Li Yuan a few years ago, was also from Wu County. At this time, Lu Xun had followed Hua Xiong to take the trail to attack Kuaiji.

In the evening, Zhou Yu took advantage of the darkness to send a 3000-man army to ambush near Moling on a small road, and immediately attacked Li Yuanjun's food team as soon as they found it.This path is indeed hidden, and it can lead from Moling to Wujun or Kuaiji without passing through Danyang.

At this time Li Yuan was preparing to rest, and he was going to send troops to attack the city early in the morning. When he was going to sleep, soldiers suddenly came outside the door to report the victory from Jiangnan.

Hearing this, Li Yuan quickly asked the soldiers to hand over the letter. He opened it and saw that it was Tai Shici's personal letter, which said that Tai Shici had captured the entire Jingnan, Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling. , and also brought the heads of Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, Zhang Cheng and Wu Jing.

"Hahahaha, Ziyi is indeed a great general of our army. He took Jingnan so quickly, much faster than me." Li Yuan laughed, and he immediately ordered Xi Zhicai to be summoned.

Xi Zhicai was already asleep, but when he learned that Li Yuan had summoned him, he immediately went to Li Yuan's tent.

"My lord, what is the purpose of summoning my subordinates..." Xi Zhicai was shocked when he saw four human heads on the table before finishing his sentence, "My lord, this is..."

"Hahahaha, Zhicai, don't be afraid, this is a gift from Ziyi, take a look." Li Yuan handed Xi Zhicai the good news.

Xi Zhicai opened it and glanced at it, and said happily, "Congratulations, my lord, General Taishi is worthy of being a general of our army. It's really gratifying to take down Jingnan so quickly, and I think it's because Xu Shu asked someone to give his head away." came."

"Why did Yuan Zhi send it?" Li Yuan asked puzzled.

"Xu Shu was far-sighted. He thought that the lord hadn't captured Wujun and other places, so he sent the heads here specially. Firstly, it can improve the morale of our army, and secondly, it can damage the morale of the Jiangdong army. The greatly reduced morale of the enemy will be more conducive to our siege. .”

"I can understand improving the morale of our army, but how can we destroy the morale of the enemy?"

"My lord can do this. First put the four heads in a brocade box, and then send someone to give the brocade box to Sun Ce. The morale of Sun Ce's lieutenant general will be greatly hit after receiving the heads, and then we will send people to use them Bai Bu wrote thousands of letters, on which he wrote, "Jingnan has been broken, Zhu Zhi and other generals have been killed, and Wu Jun will also be broken." After writing, he tied the white cloth to the arrow and sent the soldiers to Wu Jun Let's shoot bows and arrows into the city, and the people of Wu County will be in danger, and Sun Ce's determination to defend the city will be shaken." Xi Zhicai revealed his plan.

"Okay, let's do things one by one!" Li Yuan decided to adopt Xi Zhicai's strategy.

That night, Li Yuan asked the literate soldiers in the army to write down the defeat of Jingnan on a white cloth, and then arranged for the archers to tie the white cloth to the arrow, and prepared to go to Wu County to shoot the arrow into the city.

Gao Shun volunteered, willing to lead the team to complete this important task.Li Yuan nodded in agreement. Although it is night, it is still possible to be discovered by the defenders on the city and then be attacked by the enemy. Everyone in the camp has a shield and is wearing heavy armor. Even if the enemy fights back, it will not cause too much damage. damage, so it's fitting to let them go.

Gao Shun led eight hundred camp soldiers to Wu County. The moon was dark and the wind was high tonight. They came to the city under the cover of night. Although there were soldiers patrolling the top of the city, the sky was too dark and there was no moonlight, so the soldiers above did not notice. them.
