Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 748: Retreat at night

Zhou Yu's face shrank, and he immediately stood up, pacing back and forth, thinking about the possibility of Wu Jun being captured.

"Ziyi, do you think Wu Jun was really conquered?" Zhou Yu suddenly stopped and asked Tai Shici.

Tai Shici looked distressed, and said worriedly: "The general governor, Zhao Ke before, has the impression in his mind that he is indeed the Sima of the Xunjiang Camp in Lou County, serving under Zhu Fengche."

The meaning of Taishi Ci's words couldn't be more obvious. An army Sima who was still in Wu County suddenly appeared in Lujiang in a blink of an eye. Isn't it because Cao Jun really captured Wu County and sent it over?

Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "In this way, Wu Jun may really be in crisis."

"The Governor, then is our army going to retreat and temporarily abandon Lujiang County?" Tai Shici asked.

This time Zhou Yu led his army to the north, precisely to quell the rebellion with lightning and recover Lujiang. However, compared with Lujiang, Wu Jun is obviously more important. If Wu Jun is captured and Sun Quan is captured, the Jiangdong Army's morale will inevitably collapse.

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.

"Wu Jun may have been invaded by Cao Jun, but it may not be irretrievable. Otherwise, why doesn't the lord ask our army for help?"

Tai Shici's eyes lit up: "The Governor's words are extremely true, maybe Xia Houyuan's tug-of-war with the lord in Wu County hasn't reached the point of danger."

"Hmm... I still need to confirm."

Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and said: "Presenting this supervisor's order."

"First, withdraw all the sergeants who have witnessed from above the city today, let them live in the city, and not let them spread the news, you know?"

As the so-called one pass ten to ten, if these Jiangdong soldiers spread the news of the fall of Wu Jun if their mouths are broken, then the army will be in chaos in the city, so they must be separated and their mouths must be firmly controlled.

Tai Shi Ci nodded approvingly.

"Secondly, you send your subordinate cavalry to inform Jiang Qin and ask him to inquire about Wu Jun's military situation as quickly as possible, do you understand?" Zhou Yu exhorted.

The navy led by Jiang Qin sent the navy to Lujiang County this time when Zhou Yu subordinates the army to counter the rebellion. Now Jiang Qin is still able to lead the navy close to Lujiang County to deliver food and grass for Zhou Yu's army. Naturally, sending messages from the water is much faster than on the road. After all, the water can go on a boat day and night without fatigue.

Tai Shici directly asked for orders: "The general governor, it would be better for a certain person to go out of the city, I am afraid that the ordinary pawns will not be able to break through the siege of Cao Jun."

Zhou Yu thought about it and nodded: "Well, in that case, you will go out of the city yourself, but you must be careful."

"promise!"

Tai Shici was full of confidence. In history, Beihai was besieged. It was he who went out of the city to ask for help. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves could not stop him.

That night, Tai Shici was holding a spear and spear, carrying a bow and arrows and two bags of arrow feathers, and fled at night. Cao Jun was naturally prepared for a long time. More than ten horses chased Taishi Ci together. However, Tai Shi Ci shot Wushuang and shot down three Cao Jun cavalry. The remaining Cao Jun cavalry were so scared that they dared not chase Tai Shi Ci.

"Okay, let him go."

"Yes, the commander has orders, and there is no need to catch up with the enemy."

Cao Jun's cavalry had also received the order long ago, so instead of chasing and intercepting them, they let Taishi Ci directly away.

Unexpectedly, it was so simple to break through. Tai Shici felt like an overkill, but he didn't think much about it. He just pushed off the horse at full speed and galloped south.

Jiang Qinjun Water Village.

"Ziyi, why are you here so late?"

Jiang Qin was surprised when he saw Tai Shi Ci. Wasn't he still fighting under the command of the Zhoudu Governor of Lujiang County? Why did you come here suddenly.

"Brother Gongyi."

Tai Shici said in a long way: "There have been some disturbances in Wu County recently, do you know?"

"Wu Jun turmoil?" Jiang Qin frowned: "I have never heard of it."

Tai Shici briefly introduced what happened during the day, and then said: "You quickly send a messenger to Wu County to confirm what is going on with the lord."

Jiang Qin said with a solemn expression after hearing this: "Don't worry, I will send someone."

Jiang Qin arranged for Tai Shici to stay temporarily, and then arranged for a team of elite naval forces to fly south on a stern warship.

Six days later.

"Ziyi, big things are not good."

Jiang Qin frowned at Tai Shici and said: "Nowadays, most of the county towns in Wu County have been captured by Xiahouyuan, Wu County is surrounded by Cao Army regiments, and the messenger cannot enter Wu County at all.

Tai Shici solemnly said: "I know, I will go back and report to the governor."

Tai Shici left immediately from Jiang Qinjun’s water village and returned to the city.

"The situation has become so dangerous?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but frowned, and then said: "Send the orders to the generals and have a meeting immediately."

The guards of the Fuzhong went out one after another. After a while, the Jiangdong army generals came to Zhou Yu's governor's residence. Because Zhou Yu deliberately suppressed the previous affairs, many Jiangdong army generals still didn't know what was going on, and they were a little confused.

"Presumably you don't know what the Governor General is going to do to summon the generals late at night."

Zhou Yu looked at the puzzled expressions of the generals and said slowly.

"Dare to ask Governor Zhou to summon me to wait what the **** is going on?"

The respected Cheng Pu asked first.

"Today, gather all the generals to discuss what they are doing and retreat." Zhou Yu said slowly.

"retreat?"

"Why? Will our army give up Lujiang County?"

"Nowadays, Cao Cao has many people, so if our army abandons Lujiang County, after all, Cao has no navy."

Regarding the retreat, the generals of the Jiangdong army naturally talked about it. Lujiang County is the northernmost county of the six Jiangdong County. If you want to keep Lujiang County, you will inevitably be an enemy of tens of thousands of Cao Cao's army.

And if you withdraw from Lujiang County, relying on the Yangtze River's natural moat, it would be no problem to stop Cao Jun, but it is indeed not good to give up Lujiang County casually.

"Supervisor Zhou, why should our army retreat?"

Cheng Pu asked: "Although Cao's army is now in great numbers, our army can still rely on Jiang Qin's navy to deliver grain and grass. It has not yet reached the point of retreating, right?"

Zhou Yu looked at Cheng Pu and slowly said: "Cao Jun surprised Wu County from Guangling and has now surrounded Wu County."

"What? Wu County is surrounded by Cao Jun?"

"Doesn't this mean that the lord is at stake?"

"No wonder, our army seems to have to withdraw."

As soon as this statement came out, all Jiangdong army generals looked shocked. Originally confronted Cao Jun at Lujiang, why did Cao Jun suddenly attack Wu Jun without realizing it?

Wu Jun is the hinterland of the east of the Yangtze River. If it falls, the consequences will be disastrous. Many of the soldiers' family members are in Wu Jun. It seems that this time the army must withdraw.
