Chapter 488
A continuous army entered the camp ten miles away from Wucheng. Qiao Rui got off his horse and looked at the soldier who came to report the news with an ecstatic look on his face.Ever since Peng Qing took refuge in Jia Nian, there have been frequent bad news. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce gave him such a big gift.It seems that Jia Yuzhang's defeat is certain, as long as he drags them here, it will be a great achievement.

"Gongjin, the Yangtze River pirates are your work?"

"The general's eyes are as bright as a torch, and my nephew dare not lie about this matter."

Zhou Yu who was standing behind said respectfully.

Qiao Rui didn't hear the next words, turned around on purpose to show displeasure.

"Since you don't dare to lie, are you telling the truth? How did you persuade the four thousand water thieves?"

"As long as you are human, you have weaknesses. Now that the war broke out, Yangzhou is full of flames. In order to avoid the sharp edge of the two armies, the water bandits can only hide in remote places. In this way, life will inevitably be difficult. Therefore, I dare to persuade the Wu family of Wu County to open up the clan. COFCO, using food as a condition to persuade water thieves to form an alliance, has achieved the unexpected effect."

"Use Wu's food?"

Qiao Rui showed a surprised look, saying that the four thousand water thieves were using Wu's grain, and Yan Baihu was also using Wu's grain.Could it be that his Wu family is as rich as an enemy country?But why, as far as I know, the Wu family does not have Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang Xianhe in Wu County.

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu showed a faint smile.

"Does the general know the way of truth and falsehood?"

"What is the way of falsehood?"

"If the prediction is correct, Yan Baihu will be defeated at the end of the attack. It is not yet known who will belong to this food."

"Yan Baihu must be defeated?"

Hearing this sentence again, Qiao Rui couldn't help becoming vigilant. Why did Zhou Yu keep talking about this matter repeatedly? Could it really be the same as he thought?Puzzled breaths intertwined with each other and gradually spread to the surroundings.

Zhou Yu said to Qiao Rui.

"The children of the Wu family have already gone to Yan Baihu's army to be responsible for transporting food. Once they are defeated, they will transport the food back to the Wu family. As for the Yangtze River water bandits, how much will there be left after this battle? After careful calculation, the food The expense is not that big, and compared to Yuan Zhoumu's reward after knowing about it, it seems insignificant."

"You are taking this as an opportunity to plan for the Wu family to be the prefect of each county in Yangzhou."

"exactly"

Zhou Yu's tone was extremely firm.

There is nothing to hide from Qiao Rui, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Qiao is not in the army or in Jiujiang, they can get married immediately after making a career.Moreover, in Yuan Zhoumu's eyes, the two sides' concealment is meaningless, and it will even add variables.

Qiao Rui fell into deep thought.

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to analyze the situation in Yangzhou.

"Now Lujiang County is in danger. As long as the lord can capture Lujiang County, then Yuzhang's military commander Liu Ye's troops will surely die under the joint efforts of Yuan Zhoumu. At that time, [-] troops went south to Yuzhang, and Yuzhang was changed. Master. The family members of Jia Yuzhang’s soldiers and horses are all in Yuzhang. Once they hear such bad news, they will flee or even defect. Zhou Mu can take back Kuaiji and other places without a single soldier.”

"It's just that the things I worry about are at the end of the day"

"Although Yan Baihu is bound to be defeated, the two sides are evenly matched in strength, and there is a grudge against Peng Qing's troops. Now the general has sent a letter to General Ji, and the matter must have been reported to the state shepherd. As long as the state animal husbandry divides up three thousand troops Go south to Danyang and move to Guzhang before Yan Baihu is defeated, so we can rest easy."

"If Peng Qing's troops were not stationed in Guzhang, they would be able to cut off the connection between General Ji and General Ji's troops, thus forming a pincer attack and sweeping across the south of the Yangtze River."

"Once Jia Yuzhang seizes the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River before Zhou Mu breaks Liu Ye's troops stationed on the front lines of Chaohu and Changhe Towns, the Zhou Mu will be powerless to go south."

Hearing Zhou Yu's analysis, Qiao Rui frowned.

After deliberating over and over again, she nodded slowly at him.If things are really as Zhou Yu expected, there is a great possibility that this will happen.

"Can our army divide up and garrison Guzhang?"

"No way"

"Why?"

"Although Jia Yuzhang only brought [-] cavalry, these [-] cavalry are elite, and there is General Gan Ning on the flank. If you divide the troops, even if you have [-] troops, it will be difficult to resist. Moreover, once Peng Qing is defeated Yan Baihu will definitely launch a fierce attack on Guzhang in the future. If there are many soldiers stationed at that time, this place will definitely fall. What is the difference between guarding and not guarding?"

"This?"

A hint of worry suddenly appeared in Qiao Rui's heart.

Looking around, he lowered his voice.

"If things are really as you said, I'm afraid the lord won't see Damo."

"Zhou Mu has a long-term vision, and may look down on Da Mo, so I hope the general will write a letter of resignation stating the pros and cons of it."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult at this time. After all, Liu Ye, who is stationed on the front line of Chaohu Lake, has [-] troops under his command."

After the voice fell, there was a moment of silence, and then Qiao Rui made a decision in his heart.

Looking at a personal guard, he shouted orders at him.

"Send scouts to the direction of Damo"

"promise"

The personal guard bowed, turned around and walked outside the camp.

Looking at the back that was fading away, Qiao Rui felt a little lucky.

"Yan Baihu's and Peng Qing's troops are roughly equal in strength, and there is enmity between them, so it is too early to say whether they will win or lose."

"Gongjin, I'm afraid you're worrying too much."

"The Lujiang County Mansion is about to fall into the hands of the lord. Let alone sweeping the south of the Yangtze River in this time, even if they let go of their feet, they will not be able to cover the land of the two counties."

Hearing Qiao Rui's words, the worried expression on Zhou Yu's face became more intense, her lips moved but she forcibly endured it, repeating this matter is not only useless, but also counterproductive .I have done what I can do, and the rest is to listen to the destiny.Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the lord becomes the prefect of Lujiang to be sure, but I just hope that Yuan Zhoumu will not be dishonest.

"As the general of the first army, my first priority is to contain Jia Yuzhang and prevent them from sweeping Wujun."

"come"

"exist"

"Our army is exhausted from a long distance, and we have ordered two thousand troops to stand ready to guard against Yuzhang's surprise attack. The rest of us can wait until we are ready to attack Wucheng tomorrow morning."

"promise"

All the soldiers roared in unison, followed by the sound of dense footsteps.

Looking at the soldiers running around, Zhou Yu dispelled all the worries in his heart.In the final analysis, those things just now were all my own guesses, maybe Yan Baihu could really hold Peng Qing back, maybe Zhou Mu would really send troops to guard Guzhang.

Jia Nian is right in front of him, it's time to have a good fight with him.How can you get your hands on Da Qiao? After Lujiang is captured, troops will be stationed in Wan County.Wouldn't it be more satisfying to tie you up in front of the mansion on the day of the bridal chamber?
