    Huang Gai was defeated by Lei Bo twice and chased him twice. He already had unspeakable anger in his heart.

    Now that we have finally successfully ambushed the opponent, how can we let them break out?

    So Huang Gai quickly chased Lei Bo behind him, raised his sword high and struck down.

    Lei Bo felt a gust of wind behind his head. When he looked back, his expression suddenly changed.

    I want to raise my weapon to block, but my shoulders are both hit by arrows. How can I still muster the strength at this moment?

    The sword was swung very fast, and before Lei Bo had time to shout, the sword was already swung along his body.

    Immediately afterwards, a thud was heard, and Lei Bo fell off his horse, no longer breathing.

    Seeing that their leader was killed, the rest of the tribes instantly dispersed, and some even surrendered directly.

    Under the leadership of these people, Zhou Yu easily captured Kunyang.

    This was also the first city he captured after entering Yingchuan County.

    It was only then that Huang Gai finally understood Zhou Yu's plan.

    With hindsight, he couldn't help but give Zhou Yu a thumbs up, praising his uncanny calculations and unparalleled resourcefulness.

    Zhou Yu waved his hands politely and said: "Hey, this is not the result of Gong Jin alone. The success of my plan is all due to the cooperation of General Huang!"

    The two complimented each other, and the atmosphere in the hall finally returned to its previous harmony.

    From then on, Zhou Yu even gained a fanboy in Huang Gai, who was completely conquered by him and would never have any doubts again.

    After capturing Kunyang, Zhou Yu finally gained a foothold in Yingchuan.

    And he can also attack together with Ye Cheng's soldiers and horses, and attack Xu Shu who is defending Wuyang from both sides.

    Although it was possible to attack Yingchuan by heading east from Kunyang, Zhou Yu still decided to place Wuyang as his first target.

    The reason why Wuyang is so important is that it guards the outlet of the Nanyang Basin, with Lishui to the north and Lishui to the south.

    Sandwiched among them, it has developed transportation and a dangerous location, which has great strategic value.

    If we can successfully capture Wuyang, it will be like inserting a wedge into Yuzhou, from which we can attack other places in Yuzhou and seize everything.

    Therefore, after Zhou Yu's northern army dealt with the Kunyang battle, they immediately went south to join the other army.

    Xu Shu had long been determined to stay in the city.

    Anyway, with the two rivers flowing through, Wuyang is not short of anything, even food and grass have a full year's supply.

    Under such conditions, Xu Shu would not take any risks.

    He knew very well that as long as he persisted for more than a month, His Majesty's army would be able to defeat Sun Ce in one fell swoop.

    Therefore, Xu Shu did not change anything after the fall of Kunyang. Apart from being slightly saddened by Lei Bo's sacrifice, it could no longer move him.

    Even the commander-in-chief Wenpin couldn't hold it in any longer.

    "Yuan Zhi, Zhou Yu's repeated provocations, how can he continue to be so rampant?

    How about I go out of the city and teach them a lesson, otherwise I can¡¯t bear to swallow this!  "

    Xu Shu picked up a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, and then thought about it for a moment.

    He finally spoke: "Zhongye, don't think about fighting and killing all day long! Your Majesty will hand over Yingchuan to us for garrison.

    "It's just so that we can keep Yingchuan, and there is no requirement to achieve anything."

    So in my opinion, don¡¯t be too impatient.  I believe His Majesty's troops are already on their way!  "

    Xu Shu was very calm and not anxious at all.

    When Wenpin saw this, he could only take a sip of wine and sit there without speaking again.

    Xu Shu stepped forward and slowly put away Wenpin's wine glass, replaced it with a cup of tea, and continued: "Zhongye, don't be impatient.

    There are plenty of opportunities for you to perform.  Our first priority now is to defend Wuyang City first!  "

    Wenpin immediately promised: "Yuanzhi, I am not as good as you in terms of ingenuity. Your Majesty has appointed you to be the official, and I will fully assist you."

    "In terms of force, there is nothing that scares me, especially those under Sun Ce. I can't wait to kill them all.

    In this case, I will wait for them in the city and give them a head-on blow.  "

    Seeing that Wenpin had finally turned the corner, Xu Shu laughed and said, "That's great! It's great that Zhongye can think like this!"

    After the two of them talked for a while, someone came to report from outside the door: "Report, Governor, General, the enemy has begun to attack the city!"

    Xu Shu and Wenpin stood up immediately after hearing this.

    Wenpin was even more excited and said: "Okay! It's finally time for me to stretch my muscles!"

    "Zhongye, be careful!"

    As they spoke, the two came to the city head together. Sure enough, they saw that Zhou Yu had already set up his formation and was about to launch an attack at any time.

    Zhou Yu saw Xu Shu from a distance and immediately shouted loudly: "Yuan Zhi, you are also from Yingchuan, how can you bear to see your homeland suffer a military disaster?

    ¡°If you open the city and surrender, I will ensure the safety of everyone in the city in the name of the Grand Governor.

    At the same time, you will be recommended to continue to serve as the prefect.

    How about it, whether it is war or peace, and the safety of the whole city, young and old, depends on your thoughts, please think carefully about it!  "

    Xu Shu understood Zhou Yu¡¯s character and knew that what he just said was absolutely untrue.

    If it were someone else, maybe you would really have to think about it.

    However, Xu Shu and Wenpin were both loyal to Liu Ke, so how could they be persuaded by Zhou Yu in just a few words?

    Xu Shu said loudly: "Gong Jin, I appreciate your kindness! It's just a matter of being loyal to your Majesty. I, Xu Shu, have been loyal to Your Majesty from the beginning to the end.

    It is absolutely impossible for me to switch to another employer!

    Although a certain person is not talented, he still understands that wealth cannot move his heart, honors and honors cannot change his aspirations, and life and death cannot stop him.

    If Gong Jin really cares about the people in the city, then retreating is the best choice!  "

    Zhou Yu couldn't help but frown when he saw that Xu Shu was not interested.

    Huang Gai next to him said nonchalantly: "Grand Governor, why are you talking nonsense to him? We now have an army of fifty thousand.

    The water surrounding Wuyang is suffocating.  With your command, the Commander-in-Chief, the soldiers will attack this city overnight and capture Xu Shu alive.

    When the time comes, let¡¯s see if he will still be so stubborn under my sword!  "

    Huang Gai¡¯s words were very straightforward, but Zhou Yu didn¡¯t blame him.

    He sighed and said: "Alas! I don't want to use weapons, but since it doesn't make sense, I have to do this.

    Public reply, go ahead!  Remember not to kill innocent people indiscriminately!  "

    When Huang Gai heard this, he immediately responded and walked out eagerly.

    However, just as he was about to leave, a figure suddenly ran from behind, and no one around him dared to stop him.

    Therefore, this person is carrying a dragon flag, which means that he is the king's personal envoy. No one can stop him, and any offender will be killed immediately.

    The messenger quickly ran to Zhou Yu and said hurriedly: "Grand Governor, here is the king's order. I ask the Governor to sign it personally."

    Zhou Yu immediately took it, checked that the letter box was intact, and opened it without ceremony and took out the letter.

    Zhou Yu quickly read through all the contents of the letter, and his expression suddenly changed.

    "Pass it down, withdraw the troops!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
