Chapter three hundred and ninety five.
"Huang Zu's subordinates shot and killed Sun Jian, the father of Wuhou, and the two families were irreconcilable. It was more than a year since the last time Eastern Wu attacked Jiangxia. Before the autumn grain harvest of Jiangxia, it was a good time to attack Xia. After so long, the Chaisang Army did not even return a advance unit. It was not that you didn't want to retreat, but that you did not turn back. The army had confronted Huang Zu, so you could not withdraw so easily!"
"And Zhou Lang, you feel that you can deal with me, and you don't have the determination to let the Chaisang army take the losses and risks to withdraw the troops!"
"So now, between Wu County and Danyang County, there is only the army in your hands of the Grand Commander!
"Now, under Zhang Yan and Chen Yu Jianye on land, there are no reinforcements on land. If you defeat you by water, the Chaisang army will not return within 15 days, and Jianye may..."
Guru~
Whether it was Zhou Yu or Wang Hou, they couldn't help but swallowed heavily!
Wang Hou could not defeat Jiangdong's military force, after all, he was the party on the expedition!
However, the more than 40,000 elite main forces that the Eastern Wu fought for many years did not come back, but the situation is another matter.
With more than 20,000 more people who lost Zhou Yu, he still needed cannons to help him, and went against the current to surround Jianye and attacked Zhang Yan by water. He could not take care of the Sun family's nest!
Destroy Wu more than 70 years in advance! He may even become the force that replaces Wu! I have to say that the moment this idea came about was as seductive as the words of the poisonous snake lying in Eve's ears!
Seeing Wang Hou's old face showing an indescribable glorious smile, Zhou Yu's original indifference was completely shattered. Several times, listening to Wang Hou's inference, his face looked ugly. He subconsciously wanted to veto it, either tough or ridicule, but before he could say anything, Zhou Yu had to swallow it back.
Now his chaotic state of mind is no longer able to lie calmly. According to Wang Houzhi's intelligence, once he sees the flaws, wouldn't he be more sure of his inference? It further encouraged his determination to attack Jianye!
Smart people don’t need so many fancy shots to beat the game. They were silent for a minute or two, and after taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu decided to show up! He simply looked extremely solemn, and he looked at Wang Hou more seriously than the threat just now, and Zhou Gongjin asked heavily.
"Zhou Mu really plans to fight for life and death with my Jiangzuo Sun family?"
"Add another 30,000 stones, and 800,000 stones to make up!"
"Give it!"
Just like the deflated ball, Zhou Yu finally let go!
Wang Hou guessed right, there was really a factor of his conceit. Zhou Yu always felt that he was a strong man and could deal with Wang Hou. Moreover, the battle between Jiangxia and Dongwu had been planning for a whole year. Just as he was about to make great progress, just like eating a certain brother's male silver, Wang Hou suddenly knocked on the door and came to check the room. It was impossible to say that it was not uncomfortable, and it was too unwilling to let him give up!
So, the devil prompted him to make some decisions!
Now is the time to pay the price for yourself!
As for Wang Hou, destroying Wu, and Li Daitaozun's idea is indeed a temptation, but there are too many uncertain factors. First of all, the first difficulty is to knock down Zhou Yu, who is desperate in front of him!
Then, we will capture Jianye before the Chaisang army revolts! There is a prerequisite here. Sun Quan was stuck in his head and learned from Chongzhen to stay away. If he escapes, he will join the Chaisang army according to the prestige established by the two generations of the Sun family to conquer Jiangdong. It is not unknown, but certain!
What's more, even if Sun Quan was really stupid and didn't run away, he was killed by him in Jianye, what about?
There are so many mountains and rivers in Jiangdong, and the local aristocratic forces are so strong that the Sun family has to compromise. If he replaces the Sun family, he can control Jiangdong and make the families surrender?
Moreover, if he took this step, he would reveal a disloyalty to President Cao. All the support from Yecheng would be gone, and he would put himself at an extremely disadvantageous position in politics!
Later generations had more than 300,000 troops. Why did Zeng Guofan, who was captured by Jiangnan's military and political affairs, rebelled? Because he was in a similar situation, he seemed to be in a glorious position, but in fact he was full of dangers. Considering the various and complicated relationships, Zeng Guofan finally suppressed the idea of rebelling and ascending the throne.
The most likely result of attacking Jianye was that he paid a great price to seize the city, and Sun Quan ran away. Then Wang Hou used his prestige to attack Jianye to force the aristocratic tribes of Taihu to transport food for him. After that, after conquering Jianye, it is extremely likely to bring a series of political influence to himself within Cao Cao's camp. After all, it is reasonable to sneak into other people's territory to rob, but if such a big war was launched, he would have captured the other's capital. What would Mr. Cao think if he learned about it?
The risk is so great, it is better to learn from Zeng Guofan, take retreat as a step forward, and slowly approach it, reach an agreement with Zhou Yu in front of him to copy the food!
Putting down the temptation of this Dai Wu was also an extremely difficult decision for Wang Hou. He couldn't help but have hot flashes of sweat coming out of his forehead. Seeing Zhou Yu breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but breathe heavily.
But people are fickle! The strategy was countered, and in the end he had no choice but to enter Wang Hou's script. Zhou Yu obviously didn't want to stay in this state for a long time. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and had a gloomy and handsome face. He hummed quickly.
"When Zhou returned, he organized the civilians to transport grain for the provincial governor. Within five days, he transported 800,000 stones of Piling Tun to Tonghekou. However, the provincial governor needed to immediately recruit cavalry that were still plundered in Jianye, and station large troops at Tonghekou and not to go around! Within a row of grain, the provincial governor immediately withdrew his troops back to Xuzhou. How about it?"
"Okay! A gentleman's word!"
"Hand a quick whip!"
Holding his fists and following the etiquette of the times, Zhou Yu and Wang Hou bowed heavily.
Although it was just a verbal agreement, this era is not an era when later generations speak and promises like farts. They say that they don’t pay for several months, and that they will not see the project payments for two or three years before the New Year! Not to mention the top figures like Wang Hou and Zhou Yu who are already top-notch, even rural villagers attach great importance to their promises and even die to fulfill their promises!
So although the two of them did not have any contract, the withdrawal and transaction plan was more solid than the real contract and stamping it with a big seal. Zhou Yu didn't have to worry that Wang Hou would break his promise.
Now I don’t have the time to drink tea with peace of mind, and I don’t even want any expensive set of Zi Tao Jiangnan tea utensils. After pursuing his promise to Wang Hou, he bowed and said goodbye. Zhou Yu immediately couldn’t wait to fulfill his promise, so that he could fight against King Hou to get out of here soon.
Now it was Wang Hou's turn to have the heart to drink tea slowly. He took a sip of the fragrant tea that had not yet been cold. Seeing Zhou Yu leave in a hurry, he suddenly slapped his thigh and waved his hand happily behind him.
"By the way, Brother Zhou! Madam is graceful and elegant, fairy-like and snow-skinned, a beautiful woman that is hard to find in the world! It can reduce food by 100,000 stones! Brother Zhou, please consider it!"
Zhou Yu, who had just boarded the boat, almost fell into the river, pretending not to hear it. Mei Zhoulang was so rude that he didn't even respond, and hurriedly ordered his servant to row the boat and leave.
"What? The ancients were loyal to the king and were so loyal that they left their homes and business. Even a lady couldn't bear to let go. Is Zhou Lang in Jiangdong just like this?"
Looking very disappointed, Wang Hou guru drank the rest of the half bowl of tea. He then laughed and threw the tea set into the Yangtze River not far away, turning around the small boat under his command.
It's done!
