Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 267 The Death of Xun Yu

Lu Su didn't notice Sun Quan's expression, but was attracted by Ling Tong's excited scolding.

At this time Cheng Pu yelled sharply: "Gongji, don't be rude in front of the lord."

Cheng Pu is the deputy governor of Jiangdong, and the oldest general in Ruxuwu. Although Ling Tong fought bravely, he must abide by etiquette.

Sun Quan immediately warned coldly: "Gongji."

Ling Tong was in high spirits and didn't notice Sun Quan's black face at all. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not talk about Gan Ning's personal enmity with me, but that Fu Shiren was the one who poisoned the governor. Guan Yu sent this person to help the other Heart to death."

Everyone present was shocked when they heard that Fu Shiren was serving the army in Jiangxia, and Zhou Yu passed away before he reached Chaisang. The guard Zhou Shan first suspected that Fu Shiren had poisoned in wine, and then spread to the army accompanying Ling Tong, which caused a stir at the time No small commotion.

For the stability of the Sun-Liu alliance, Lu Su tried his best to persuade Sun Quan to suppress the matter, and strictly ordered Ling Tong to keep his mouth shut, so this matter has never been spread.

"Bastard." Sun Quan slapped the case violently.

At this time, Ling Tong found that the boss's face was turning green, and he immediately retreated to his position like a quail, but everyone present, especially Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Jiang Qin and other generals, looked at him strangely.

"Gongji, you'd better make it clear to everyone that Gongjin was poisoned by someone?" Cheng Pu's voice was deafening.

At this moment, Ling Tong was like a primary school student who made a mistake. He lowered his head and dared not say a word at all.

Sun Quan didn't want to mention Zhou Yu's matter, so he told Lu Su with a humble eye, "Governor, tell Cheng Gong and the generals a brief statement, and you are not allowed to make unfounded guesses in the future. Now that the enemy is at hand, you should focus on Cao Cao. "

"Wei." Lu Su bowed, looked around the crowd and explained: "Gongjin went to Jiangling to seek medicine for an arrow injury in the past, but unfortunately the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing was not at home, so we had to return to Chai Sang to seek medical treatment for Gongjin. When passing by Jiangxia, General Fu brought wine and meat to the army. Unfortunately, shortly after leaving Jiangxia, Gong Jin suffered a recurrence of an arrow injury and died on the way. At that time, some people speculated that the wine was poisonous, but hundreds of people in the party were fine after eating wine and meat. This is just a far-fetched guess. I was so excited just now”

Ling Tong hurriedly got off the donkey. He explained embarrassingly, "I was the one who said nothing. Please forgive me, my lord."

Sun Quan's blue eyes opened slightly, and he said slowly: "The news came from the scouts ahead, Cao Mengde's so-called 40 army is actually only more than [-]. We may not be unable to win because we are sitting on the edge of the sky. Get stuck with other things."

"Wei." All the generals answered in unison.

Sun Quan: "As for taking the wind and washing away the dust, let's forget it for the time being. After defeating Cao Cao, we will hold a celebration banquet together. Zijing will go and tell the allied forces to station in the river first, and arrange for them when there are combat missions."

"Wei." Lu Su cupped his hands in response.

Seeing that the atmosphere had returned to normal, Sun Quan ordered Cheng Pu: "Cao Jun set out from Shouchun and marched for hundreds of miles. It is difficult to complete the assembly in a short time. We can take advantage of the fact that his foothold is not stable to dampen his spirit. The law of war says 'one vigorous effort and then decline three times. And Jie', if we can get rid of Cao Cao's arrogance, and use Ruxuwu's defense to consume patience, the other side will retreat after running out of food in a few months, and we can even take advantage of the situation to pursue."

"My lord is wise, I will immediately call the former generals to discuss." Cheng Pu cupped his fists and accepted the order.

Most of the generals and lieutenants under Cheng Pu's command had fought against Cao Jun when they were in Xinye, and they knew very well how powerful Cao Jun was on land.

Lu Meng and Pan Zhang took the initiative to invite Ying. Their courageous behavior after realizing their shame won the respect of Han Dang and other veterans. Cheng Pu finally allocated [-] steps for them.

Ruxuwu was built by Lu Meng. He was familiar with the surrounding geographical environment, and based on the intelligence of the scouts ahead, he calculated Cao Cao's marching route.

That is to say, the army went to Hefei to divide the road, entered Shishui by water and took Chaohu Lake to attack Ruxuwu, and by land, crossed Lujiang and Juchao to the south, then turned east to Linhu and Xiang'an, and finally went to the village in front of Qibao Mountain.

There will be Sun Quan's Xijiang Camp near Qibao Mountain. After Lu Meng and Pan Zhang combined, they planned to make a fuss near Qibao Mountain.

Cao Cao prepared for several months from the plan to attack Jiangdong to the actual dispatch of troops. All supplies, food, grass, and equipment were collected in Shouchun. During this period, the counselor Xun Yu committed suicide by taking medicine at the age of 49.

In May, Changshi Dongzhao advised Cao Cao to join the Duke of Wei and add nine gifts. After he became the Duke, he could establish a country and divide civil and military affairs. The interests of the Han Dynasty would be gradually eroded by the Kingdom of Wei. Further Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sent troops to Jiangdong to transfer Xun Yu from Shangshutai, and from Shangshuling to Shizhong, Guanglu Doctor, Chijie, and Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army. This was not an ordinary transfer, but Cao Cao's warning to Xun Yu and even the Yingchuan gentry. Warn them not to stop themselves from entering Wei Gong.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no prime minister, and the responsibilities of Shang Shuling were equivalent to those of prime ministers. In the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao resumed the post of prime minister.

Xun Yu's transfer this time is equivalent to the vice president of the company, and he was demoted to a department manager with no real power. Cao Cao now sits on two-thirds of the world, and he no longer has to look at Yingchuan Xun's face, so this beating is very symbolic.

Shangshutai's government affairs were already busy, and under the double pressure of the family and Cao Cao, Xun Yu, who was nearly fifty years old, was worried and became ill, and finally chose to bid farewell to this troubled world.

When Cao Cao arrived at Lujiang, news came from Shouchun that Xun Yu had died after taking medicine. After a brief astonishment, he didn't feel too sad. Instead, he asked Han Hao, the leader of the Central Committee beside him: "Where are the soldiers and horses of all the troops now?"

Han Hao clasped his fists and replied: "The vanguard of Wenbo (Zhu Ling) has arrived at Linhu, Wen Yuan (Zhang Liao) and Xuan Gao (Zang Ba) are living in the nest, and the naval forces of Degui (Cai Mao) and Mancheng (Li Dian) have arrived. into the water"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded: "Order the rear army to advance at full speed, and rush to Ruxu as soon as possible to fight Sun Quan's child."

"Prime Minister, the front line of our army's march is too long, and the various armies cannot be effectively connected. We should order the generals of each army to strengthen the defense, fearing that Sun Quan will send troops to rob the camp." Jia Xu reminded.

"Wen He can rest assured, based on what I know about Sun Zhongmou, he would never have the guts to rob the camp." Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"There are no absolutes in the world." Jia Xu stopped in the middle of speaking. He found that the civil servants and generals accompanying the army were very relaxed, especially when they heard the news of Xun Yu's death just now, many people were secretly happy.It's not that they have a bad relationship with Xun Yu, but that they didn't stop Cao Cao from entering Wei Gong, so most of them can go one step further.

Go through life and death for what?Isn't it just earning fame and fortune, and benefiting future generations after death?Cao Cao said that Queen Wei will definitely reward him generously.

Jia Xu is sober in the world, but the rest of them are more complacent, after all, they are well prepared this time.

Cao Cao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Jia Xu, "Wenhe first read the fourth issue of Changjiang Daily, which was sent from Xuchang last month. Yigong's ingenuity must be rewarded."

It is no secret that the Yangtze River News is in Cao Ying, and it is often used by Cao Cao and his subordinates for fun. Jia Xu was attracted by Liao Li's Yangtze River Review when he opened the newspaper.

Jia Xu: Is Lu Meng really that stupid?
