Chapter 669 Zhou Lang Decides on the Strategy

Gui Lan and Dai Yuan plotted secretly and intercepted Sun Yi on the way. They climbed up and shouted, with nearly 10,000 troops to separate Danyang County. Wu County was discussing day and night how to put down the Danyang Rebellion, but was so easily defeated. Did Zhou Yu solve it?

Sun Quan said excitedly: "Brother Gongjin, these two gifts are so valuable!"

Nowadays, there are three main turmoils in Jiangdong. Shanyue in Kuaiji County rebelled, and Lujiang County and Danyang County were out of control. Zhou Yu had just led his troops to Wu County and solved one of them immediately, which was a timely act.

Sun Jing breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously: "Gong Jin, Gui Lan and Dai Yuan had nearly 10,000 troops. How did you behead these two men?"

"Mr. Youtai." Zhou Yu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it was thanks to Mrs. Xu (wife of Sun Yi) that someone secretly sent someone to sneak into the city and get in touch with Mrs. Xu. She pretended to have a banquet for Gui Lan and Dai Yuan. , and then the strong men under a certain arrangement killed the two men on the spot, and then took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate, and a large army under a certain command entered, naturally quelling the chaos."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Sun Quan was so excited that he said three good words in a row, then held Zhou Yu's hand and said: "Brother Gongjin, before I left, I asked a certain trustworthy brother Gongjin to leave the matter of quelling the unrest to brother Gongjin!"

When Sun Quan mentioned Sun Ce, Zhou Yu's expression dimmed slightly, but his eyes quickly glowed again.

"Please rest assured, my lord!" Zhou Yu said firmly: "The purpose of Yu's troops coming this time is to support my lord and defend our Jiangdong regime."

"good!"

Sun Quan walked back to his seat and loudly ordered: "Zhou Yu obeys the order."

"The general is here!"

"I appointed Zhou Yu as the Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangdong Army, with full authority to control the troops and horses of the six counties in Jiangdong and quell chaos."

Zhou Yu fell to the ground excitedly: "Yu, I accept my appointment!"

Not only Zhou Yu was in a excited mood, but all the Jiangdong civil and military officials in the hall looked at Zhou Yu with excitement, happiness, envy, or jealousy, with mixed emotions for a moment.

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu happily, feeling happy for this old friend.

"Captain Zhou, how did you bring 20,000 soldiers and horses?" Sun Yu suddenly asked.

"It turns out to be Zhong Yi." Zhou Yu explained: "A certain man from Chaisangti had a division of fifteen thousand soldiers, including ten thousand elite soldiers and five thousand new soldiers. The rest of the troops stayed behind at Chaisang to defend against the Jingzhou army, and there were another five thousand soldiers and horses. They gathered from Yuzhang County and Danyang County."

"I see." Sun Quan nodded, thoughtfully. The Jiangdong Army generals all looked happy, while Er Zhang, Lu Su, Kan Ze and other civil servants frowned in thought.

"Haha, Brother Gongjin is really good at predicting things." Sun Yu said sarcastically: "Brother Gongjin casually dispatched soldiers and horses from various counties. It seems that he knew that he would be appointed as the governor, haha."

If when Sun Ce was in power, it would be fine if Zhou Yu transferred troops and horses along the way, because Sun Ce completely trusted Zhou Yu. After Sun Quan came to power, the previous trust in Zhou Yu was naturally gone, and Zhou Yu's deployment of troops at this sensitive moment was somewhat obvious.

"In an emergency, you should do something extraordinary." Zhou Yu said decisively: "Brother Bofu died of illness and Jiangdong is in danger. Yu must make a decision early."

"Okay Zhong Yi, don't say any more." Sun Quan saw that Sun Yu wanted to speak, so he interrupted him directly and then looked at Zhou Yu.

Sun Quan said sincerely: "To quell the chaos in Jiangdong, it is none other than Brother Gongjin. I have little power, talent, and little knowledge. I leave everything to Brother Gongjin."

After saying that, Sun Quan stood up and bowed down.

Zhou Yu was greatly moved and stepped forward to support Sun Quan: "Please rest assured, my lord, Yu will do his best to pacify Jiangdong."

Sun Quan moved his buttocks, and Zhou Yu came forward and sat next to Sun Quan. His waist was as straight as a mountain, and he looked around at the generals on the left and right.

"Generals, although Yu is not talented, thanks to my lord's trust, I am able to serve as the governor. Although I have little talent and little knowledge, I am dedicated to Jiangdong, so I have to issue orders. Please listen to me."

Huang Gai, Han Dang, Xu Sheng and other generals clasped their fists and said in unison: "I will obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief!"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly and shouted, "Where is Xu Sheng?"

Xu Sheng stepped out of the queue, cupped his fists and said, "The general will be here."

"You lead three thousand elite troops and cross the river north to join forces with the old generals Demou and Ziyi. They attack the counties in Lujiang and compete with Sun Shu. You are not allowed to engage in a decisive battle with Sun Shu before the governor's army arrives."

"promise!"

"Hey Qi, where is Dong Xi?"

"The general is here!"

Two generals came out, one was handsome, the other was fierce-looking, with a scar under his eyes, his appearance could stop a child from crying at night.

"The two of you lead eight thousand troops to Kuaiji County to suppress Shanyue. With He Qi as the general and Dong Xi as the assistant, the main task for Shanyue is to suppress and suppress the Shanyue, and use both kindness and power."

Zhou Yu looked at He Qi: "Gong Miao, you know how to handle people well, so I leave the matter of controlling Shanyue to you. The Yuan Dynasty had a bad temper, so listen to Gong Miao more, do you understand?"

The handsome-looking He Qi said sternly: "Please rest assured, Commander, I will definitely live up to the Commander-in-Chief's trust and defeat Shanyue with the method of differentiation."

Zhou Yu nodded reassuringly. He knew that He Qi had a stratagem, which was different from ordinary people. There would probably be no problem with him as the commander-in-chief of Kuaiji.

"Huang Gai, Han Dang, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang and other generals in the army will accompany me and lead an army of 20,000 to Lujiang to attack Li Shu!"

Zhou Yu turned to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong and said: "Zibu Gong, Zigang Gong, the army will go out for more than a month at least. I leave the food and logistics for the soldiers to you."

Zhang Zhao nodded and said cautiously: "Don't worry, Governor, I will do my best to raise funds and will never let the army go out without food and grass."

Zhou Yu nodded and said to Lu Su: "Zijing, your words are well written. You can write a few essays, one to denounce Li Shu and one to appease the people of Jiangdong. We need to finish it today. Can you finish it?"

Lu Su cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Commander, Su will definitely write it down today."

Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction. As the saying goes, teachers have a reputation, even if they have an excuse, they have to think of a reason. Li Shu raised his troops to rebel. If the slogan was written brilliantly and the archers were ordered to shoot into the city, people's hearts would be turbulent and it would be conducive for Jiangdong's army to attack the city.

Righteousness is very important in this era. If used well, a piece of paper is worth thousands of troops. When Yuan Shu fled Luoyang in embarrassment with more than a dozen horses, after arriving in Nanyang, a message spread throughout the counties of Nanyang. As a result, Yuan Shu immediately went from a penniless general to a Nanyang prefect with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. This shows the power of the message. .

But now that Li Shu, Gui Lan, and Dai Yuan are rebelling, and Shanyue is rebelling, the people in Jiangdong are naturally panicked. Therefore, they need to appease the people as soon as possible, calm their minds, and let them continue farming without panic.

Seeing Zhou Yu ordering casually and arranging the generals' affairs in an orderly manner, Sun Quan couldn't help but reveal a trace of envy in his eyes.

As expected of Brother Gongjin, it would be great if someone could command Ruoding like this sometime.

After Zhou Yu majestically assigned the affairs to the generals, he respectfully said to Sun Quan: "My lord, Yu has assigned the affairs to the generals. Is there anything else you would like to add?"

Sun Quan said happily: "The governor's arrangements are complete, I have nothing to add."

"Wait a moment!"

Sun Yu stood up and said: "I am also a descendant of the Sun family. Why doesn't the governor send me to fight?"

Zhou Yu frowned. Sun Yu was young. Although he had studied military science since he was a child, he had no experience in training and was really useless. He might as well accompany Sun Quan in Wu Commandery.

"Captain, Zhong Yi also needs experience, why not let him follow the military counselor?" Lu Su suddenly said.

Seeing his old friend speaking, Zhou Yu suddenly understood and nodded.

"Well, in that case, Zhong Yi will stay in our army." Zhou Yu nodded.

Sun Yu said happily: "Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief."

"Okay, rescuing troops is like putting out a fire, the sooner the better." Zhou Yu said loudly: "The generals will go down and prepare now. After an hour, the troops will be sent out immediately!"

"promise!"

The civil and military generals rushed out of the hall in a mighty manner, each busy with their own affairs, while Zhou Yu walked out with a pleased look on his face, looking up at the sky.

The clouds in the sky gathered together and seemed to transform into that familiar heroic face, smiling at Zhou Yu on the ground.

"Brother Bo Fu, don't worry. Even if Zhou Yu risks his life, he will keep Jiangdong's foundation!" Zhou Yu murmured.
