Chapter 478 Zhou Yu's Countermeasure

There were hurried footsteps in a remote house in the city.

One person sat cross-legged in the courtyard, and dropped the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard on the table.

"Lord"

"Lord"

The voice rang in the ears, and more than ten people strode forward from the front.

Zhou Yu looked in the direction of the voice, with a questioning look on both sides.

"Zhou Ping is back"

"Let him come over"

"promise"

A man bowed to Zhou Yu and said, then turned and left.

Not long after, Zhou Ping came over and bowed to Zhou Yu.

"The villain is not doing well, please punish the master"

"The world is like a chess game, and the matter of Yu Khan is not your fault. How can you blame it? Besides, Guo Dafa is quite prestigious in the Shanyue clan, so this matter is also normal."

Zhou Yu spoke slowly, but he was thinking about the situation in Yangzhou in his mind.

Then he turned the subject to Zhou Ping.

"I just don't know why you came back so late? Do you know that the situation in Jiangnan has changed drastically?"

"Jia's shadow guards are quite difficult to deal with. To avoid being chased and killed, they had to take a detour, so they came back a bit late. As for the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, the villain also learned a little bit on the way."

Zhou Ping paused a bit when he said this.

Organize the words in my heart and speak to Zhou Yu.

"I heard that Peng Qing joined Jia Nian at the suggestion of Guo Dapang, and now the three thousand cavalry from Yuzhang and the three thousand Shanyue soldiers from Yu Khan are marching from the mountains, and because of the emptiness of Kuaiji and Wu counties, they have swept a county."

"It is said that the Kuaiji County Mansion was captured not long ago, and the three thousand Shanyue soldiers have already marched in the direction of Taimo City."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ping's expression was a bit complicated. He thought that Guo Dapang planned to kill Yu Yan only for the purpose of fighting for power.But now it seems that this person's vision is unique and amazing.I have to admit that it is the wisest choice for the Shanyue clan to seek refuge in Yuzhang, even if they are members of the Zhou family, they are convinced.

"The purpose of sending you to Yuhan is actually to hold Shanyue back and prevent them from joining Yuzhang County prematurely. Now it seems that they have underestimated the advisers under Peng Qing's command."

"The general situation in the south of the Yangtze River has changed, and the next step is bound to be a hard battle."

“I have to wait and prepare more”

Zhou Yu said as he picked up a chess piece and put it on the chessboard.

With the sound of chess pieces falling, his thoughts gradually became clear.

"Now Yuzhang conquers Shanyue, sweeps Kuaiji soldiers and knocks down Wujun"

"If my predictions are correct, the Danyang County government will inevitably divide its troops and return to aid, and a war will break out between the two sides in Wu County."

"And General Ji will also send a letter to the Marquis of Hefei, and Hefei's soldiers and horses will definitely rush to help."

"But in my opinion, I'm afraid that more defeats will result in fewer victories."

Zhou Yu's tone was a little heavy, which was obviously not what he wanted to see.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, showing puzzled expressions. From the perspective of military strength, Yuan Zhoumu still has the upper hand, so how can he say that more defeats are more victories than few?Don't look at Yuzhang's sweeping Kuaiji as if it is unstoppable, but don't forget that it is because of the emptiness in the hinterland.What if it is occupied?Only through complete integration can the newly occupied land be used for one's own use.Otherwise, it would just lengthen the supply of food roads out of thin air, which would be harmful rather than beneficial.

Once the Hefei Hou State divides its troops to help, the lost Kuaiji County can naturally take it back.

Zhou Ping thought quickly, and almost instantly thought of the crux of the problem.

"My lord, are you worried about Sangoe?"

"Although the Shanyue clan is defeated every year, their background still exists. It is only because of the scarcity of material wealth that it gives people a sense of weakness. Now that they have been recovered by Yuzhang County, they will inevitably receive a steady stream of supplies. A soldier of more than ten thousand Shanyue , can be gathered in an instant. If this army is formed, the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River will no longer be owned by Yuan Zhoumu."

"Do I need to remind Yuan Zhoumu?"

"Why do I need to remind? This is the general trend, and Yuan Zhoumu naturally understands it."

"Is there a way to break the situation?"

"no"

Zhou Yu shook his head at Zhou Ping.

Everyone's hearts were broken at the same time, as a member of the Zhou family, he shared honor and disgrace with Zhou Yu.At this time, Zhou Yu was attached to the Sun family, and the Sun family was under Yuan Zhoumu's command.Just like a big boat, only when the water level raises one's status can one improve.On the contrary, if the water level drops, that is the last thing you want to see.

"It's just that I waited until I could take Lujiang County for my lord."

"With the help of the pressure brought by Yuzhang County, we will surely be able to get twice the result with half the effort"

Zhou Yu thought of Lujiang, and the worry in his eyes disappeared.

Everyone was stunned and showed puzzled expressions.

Seeing that Jia Yuzhang is about to sweep Yuzhang and Wujun, why does the lord think that this matter is beneficial for the Sun family to seize Lujiang?Their eyes intertwined with each other, and finally all looked at Zhou Yu.

Seeing the scorching light, Zhou Yu said to them.

"Yuan Zhoumu's subordinates are full of talents, but at the same time, their voices are too noisy. Now Yuzhang's rising trend in the south of the Yangtze River has begun to emerge. If he can't fight head-on, it will become a serious problem for his confidantes, and he may even be in danger of dying."

"Therefore, the subordinates under Zhoumu's command must be united as one, and the lord can also attack Lujiang with peace of mind."

The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled up slightly as he spoke.

Zhou Ping's lips moved, and he swallowed the words abruptly. It seems that the lord didn't want to make it clear.

"Zhou Ping, pack your bags and take some people to the Yangtze River"

"Yangtze?"

"kindness"

Zhou Yu responded, and reached out to take out a roll of bamboo slips from the table.

Zhou Ping took the bamboo slips respectfully, showing a dazed look.

"There are things you need to do in the bamboo slips, so you must be fast."

"promise"

Zhou Ping bowed to Zhou Yu and said.

Zhou Yu looked around at the crowd and gave them instructions.

"Pack up your bags, and you will go with Zhou Ping"

"promise"

Everyone was violent.

Zhou Ping asked puzzledly.

"My lord told me to wait to go to Dajiang, isn't there no man around me?"

"I'm about to go to Qiao Rui's headquarters and it's inconvenient to take people there, so I might as well leave it to you"

"Qiao Rui's department?"

"Wu Jun is the key. Qiao Rui's return to aid has become a foregone conclusion. If I go, I will definitely wish him a helping hand to buy time for you, my lord, and Yuan Zhoumu."

"promise"

Zhou Ping said to Zhou Yu, and walked to a room in front with both feet.

When everyone saw this, they all bowed and saluted, and then followed.

Hearing the sound of dense footsteps, Zhou Yu reached out and put away the chess pieces on the table one by one.The situation in Jiangnan is critical, but Qiao Rui's return to aid is a blessing in misfortune. With Qiao Rui's appreciation for him, he can buy time for the lord and Yuan Zhoumu by helping him on the sidelines.

When the last chess piece was withdrawn, Zhou Yu showed a trace of fighting intent in his eyes, and then walked towards the lobby.Don't think that you, Yuzhang, are the only ones who have the soldiers of Shanyue. After receiving the benefits for so long, it is time to pay back the favors owed back then.Otherwise, at the speed of Yuzhang County, Wu County might not be able to support Qiao Rui's troops to return.

He reached out and took out a birdcage, then slowly opened it.

The carrier pigeon soared into the sky from the birdcage, whistling to the south.

Zhou Yu's eyes showed anticipation. There is no doubt that with the arrival of this carrier pigeon, the situation in Wu County will change drastically.
