Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 266 Relief

The moment they saw Sun Ce's body, many generals were dumbfounded.

He Qi suddenly took a step, grabbed a soldier and shouted angrily, "Ling Cao is following to protect the lord, where is Ling Cao?"

"General Ling asked me to go ahead and catch the thief myself." The soldier said hastily.

"Stop arguing!" Zhou Yu's face turned pale, but he was the one who calmed down the fastest, and looked at the crowd and said, "Don't let this matter grow, Ziming!"

"The last general is here!" A young general stepped forward and saluted Zhou Yu.

"Lead someone to guard the insider, and no one is allowed to go out without my order!" Zhou Yu said solemnly.

"Here!" The young general agreed and bowed to leave.

"Youping!" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Tai again.

"The end is here!" Zhou Tai stepped forward.

"You take the two of them to meet Ling Cao, return to the camp immediately after you come back, and don't have any contact with anyone, understand?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Tai and said in a deep voice.

"Here!"

Zhou Tai took the order, turned around and left with the two of them and a team of people.

"Everyone, the matter is of great importance, and first follow me back to the camp to discuss countermeasures!" Zhou Yu looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice.

He and Sun Ce almost fought Jiangdong together, and they are well-known in the army. However, Zhou Yu's behavior at this time can't help but make people mutter. If you want to support yourself, should you support yourself?

After all, this Jiangdong was brought down by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Everyone believes in the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, but this is the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, and has nothing to do with the Sun family. Whether Zhou Yu will continue to support the Sun family is anyone's guess. If Zhou Yu chooses to stand on his own, who should they support?

For a moment, all the generals were at a loss.

Zhou Yu was the one who fought with them, and they respected him very much, but according to legal principles, they should support Sun Ce.

Of course, there were also people who were absolutely on Zhou Yu's side, but at this time Sun Ce had just died, and the death was sudden, and no one dared to speak first, and followed Zhou Yu into the tent silently.

Zhou Yu's mind was also a little messed up. Once Sun Ce died, not only the Jiangdong soldiers here would lose their backbone, but it's hard to say what Jiangdong's future will be like.

After all, Sun Ce decided Jiangdong by domineering means, killing Jiangdong gentry if they didn't surrender, which can be said to have offended almost all Jiangdong gentry, which is somewhat similar to Lu Bu, but different.

If Sun Ce was there, he would naturally be able to suppress these Jiangdong gentry, but now that Sun Ce is gone suddenly, then the next step is not to attack Nanyang. What is more important is that Jiangdong is likely to usher in a power struggle due to Sun Ce's death.

The gentry, the Sun family and even Yuan Shu are all problems.

Zhou Yu looked at the generals and took a deep breath: "Everyone, the lord suddenly suffered a disaster. This battle cannot continue. In order to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong, I will rush back to Jiangdong as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong."

Tai Shici hesitated for a moment, bowed to Zhou Yu and said, "General, what is the general's plan?"

These words seem to be asking Zhou Yu what he is going to do, but in fact they are asking Zhou Yu whether he has the will to stand on his own. Tai Shici was subdued by Sun Ce back then, so naturally he only recognized Sun Ce. Tai Shici was the first to refuse.

More importantly, Tai Shici was also well-known in the army, not much worse than Zhou Yu. If Zhou Yu said something wrong at this time, Tai Shici might have to draw his sword directly.

"Let's not spread the word about the death of the lord for the time being, otherwise not only will the army's morale be easily disturbed, but it will also be unknown if the Jingzhou army knows whether it will take the opportunity to attack." Zhou Yu looked at Tai Shici and nodded to explain.

Tai Shici nodded. It is indeed not suitable to spread the news of Sun Ce's death at the moment, but what should be done next?

"I can't stay here any longer. I will hurry back to Jiangdong as soon as possible and set up a new master." Zhou Yu looked at the generals and said, "Everyone, I know that Bofu has heirs, but the world is in chaos, but it is not suitable for a young son. Succession, I think that among several young masters, one of the wise masters will be chosen to serve, what do you guys think?"

If the world is peaceful or the environment is relatively stable, then it’s okay for Sun Ce’s son to succeed to the throne, but the current situation is that the world is divided. There are aristocratic families in Jiangdong that have not been resolved, and princes outside are watching. If you establish a young master at this moment, it will only aggravate the power inside Jiangdong scramble.

Hearing this, Tai Shici's expression softened a little. Although he was loyal to Sun Ce, he also knew that in the current situation, it would be impossible to hand over the position of Lord of Jiangdong to a child.

Zhou Yu has no self-reliance, so he can rest assured.

Immediately bowed to Zhou Yu and said: "If the general has a strategy, he will eventually be willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Zhou Yu nodded, he didn't know what Tai Shici was thinking, but he knew even more that if he had any self-reliance, then Jiangdong would be completely finished.

Now is the most critical time, and they must not be chaotic.

He nodded immediately and said, "There is indeed something that Ziyi needs to do."

"General, please order!" Tai Shici bowed.

"My lord is dead. We will never fight again. Tonight we will pull out our camp and withdraw our troops. However, in order to avoid the Jingzhou army's obstruction, I ask the general to stop and retreat to Jiangxia afterwards. If the news of the lord's death spreads and Jingzhou intends to go east, the general needs to block it." Jingzhou Army." Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

The transition of power in Jiangdong requires a relatively stable external environment, and Jiangxia cannot be lost, so a large general is needed to guard Jiangxia. Tai Shici is brave and resourceful, which is just right.

"The last general takes orders!" Tai Shici agreed.

"The rest of the generals, prepare your troops immediately, and I will retreat to Hanshui overnight, and take the waterway to Wujun!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice.

They sent troops in Chaisang before, but Jiangdong's government was in Wujun, including the Sun family's young and old.

The generals understood Zhou Yu's intentions at this moment, all doubts in their hearts were gone, and they all responded to the order at once, and then went to prepare their soldiers and horses, pulled out the camp overnight and retreated to Hanshuibian, and took Sun Ce's coffin all the way eastward along the river.

In the early morning of the next day, Jingzhou Jin was surprised to find that the Jiangdong camp was mostly empty overnight, and the remaining soldiers were also retreating.

"What happened!?" Liu Pan looked at the empty area outside Xinye City in astonishment, wondering why Jiangdong Army left suddenly?

Wenpin shook his head blankly, not knowing what happened.

Liu Pan frowned and said, "Without Jiangdong's help, we might be defeated by Gao Shun, so we quickly sent someone to ask why. Isn't there some kind of conspiracy?"

Well done, Sun Ce had no reason to retreat, it must be that Zhou Yu came up with some other plan. It is a good thing to have a plan, but if he is used as a pawn by the opponent, it will not be so wonderful.

Not only Liu Pan, Gao Shun also had similar suspicions in Xinye City.

"The Jiangdong army suddenly withdrew, is there some kind of conspiracy?" Gao Shun came to the tower and looked out of the city, but saw that the defense area of ​​the Jiangdong army outside the city was empty, and a military adviser wondered.

Gao Shun walked all over the city tower and observed carefully, but he didn't find anything wrong. Only one army left by Jiangdong Army was also retreating.

What's the plan?

Gao Shun carefully observed the places around him that might pose a threat to him, and after confirming that Jiangdong's army retreated so cleanly that it would not be able to pose a threat to himself, he said decisively: "Send troops."

"But chasing after Jiangdong?" the counselor asked with a bright eye.

"No, directly attack the Jingzhou army!" Gao Shun shook his head. Only one battalion of the Jiangdong Army was still withdrawing. Even if this is the strategy of the Jiangdong army, the Jingzhou army must first eat the meat that is as big as the mouth.

The Jingzhou Army, which lost the cooperation of the Jiangdong Army, is a piece of fat.

Gao Shun would not make random decisions easily, but as long as he made a decision, he would execute it immediately.

At that moment, 10,000 troops rushed out from the two gates, quickly formed an array, and attacked the Jingzhou army camp.

Liu Pan just sent someone to Jiangdong to inquire. Here, Gao personally raised troops to kill him, and hurriedly prevented the soldiers from guarding the camp.

Liu Pan brought Wenpin to the arrow tower to watch. He saw the Nanyang army gathering outside the camp. The shields in the front row kept moving towards the camp with large shields in their hands. The shields were able to fit and connect, forming a shield that was much larger than usual. At the same time, the crossbowman held a continuous crossbow and shot towards the wall of the village through the gap.

This continuous crossbow is not only powerful, but also has an extremely fast rate of fire. Soon the archers on the wall were killed and did not dare to raise their heads. Immediately afterwards, from the shield array, claws hooked the wall one by one, In Liu Pan's ashen complexion, a section of the wall was dragged down like this, and then a dense rain of arrows came over it.

The continuous crossbow arrows of the Nanyang Army!

Liu Pan gritted his teeth. This thing is too foul whether it is attacking or defending the city. Not to mention ordinary bows and arrows, even a two-stone rhubarb crossbow paired with it can't withstand the pouring of this kind of continuous crossbow arrows.

Fortunately, this kind of crossbow in Gao Shun's army was not manned, it should be equipped by the elite, otherwise this battle would not be possible.

But now facing the Nanyang Army pressing harder and harder, the Jingzhou Army is also hard to resist.

Gao Shun didn't only know how to use crossbowmen. While suppressing the frontal crossbows, a large number of school swordsmen and spearmen quickly poured into it, captured the high grounds in the village, and then the continuous crossbowmen climbed up to shoot and kill All kinds of tough bones.

Although the Jingzhou army, under the leadership of Wenpin and Liu Pan, kept counterattacking and wanted to defeat the Nanyang army with its large numbers, Gao Shun's deployment of troops was too steady.

Every step forward is to occupy an important place, fortify, and then move on.

After the crossbow arrows were shot into the air, almost all the important places in the Jingzhou army were occupied by the opponent, and then began to continue to suppress with bows and arrows.

At this point, the Jingzhou Army had no choice but to abandon the camp and retreat to Deng County.

On the other hand, Liu Hu, who went to Tai Shici to inquire, also ran to Deng County to join them after Liu Pan was defeated. Tai Shici gave the reason that there were bandits from the Shanyue Sect behind Jiangdong, and he had to withdraw to calm down the bandits before he could come again.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, they have all withdrawn their troops. What can they do? Without the support of Jiangdong, the Jingzhou army alone is beaten by Gao Shun with 10,000 soldiers in a defensive state. How dare they continue The siege can only be the same as Tai Shici, crossing the river and withdrawing to Xiangyang.

The siege in the south of Nanyang is now resolved!
