It was precisely because of ignorance that Anyi City, which could have gone down in one go, fought fiercely from the early morning to the afternoon. The two military camps outside the city fought fiercely, and the city was even more chaotic.

At five o'clock that night.Originally, Sun Ce's army had been lurking near the north gate, and when the appointed time came, he would immediately seize the city gate and welcome Zhou Yu's army outside the city to enter the city.What I never expected was.When Sun Cejun was about to take action, he happened to meet Yang Chou's troops who had come to Kaesong to ask for surrender, and a fight started instantly.At that time, Sun Ce's army dispatched a total of more than 2 people, and the leading general was Han Dang; while Yang Chou's army had as many as 1000 troops, and Yang Chou personally led the army.In addition, more than [-] North Gate defenders are also part of Zhang Yang's work.In the absence of Zhang Yang, these soldiers naturally obeyed Yang Chou's orders.

As a result, two armies with the same purpose started a fierce battle in Beimen City.At first glance.The more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers led by Han Dang were beaten back steadily by the [-] soldiers under Yang Chou's tent, but Han Dang did not give up easily, and the direction of retreat was precisely the North City Gate.In fact, he just wanted to hold back Yang Chou's army with the help of five thousand soldiers under his tent.And he himself is advancing by retreating.Wait for the opportunity to approach the north gate, and then open the city gate to welcome Zhou Yu's army into the city.In his opinion, as long as the city gate is opened, Zhou Yu's army will attack from outside the city, and he will lead thousands of soldiers and horses to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

However, just as Han Dang retreated to the city gate with more than a hundred soldiers.The defenders of the city gate suddenly fired arrows in disorder.A round of random arrows shot and killed more than 100 soldiers around Han Dang.Even he himself was hit by two arrows, which made him terrified, and hurriedly fled back to the army, not daring to approach the city gate again.Fortunately, his life should not be lost. Although he was hit by two arrows, neither of them hit the vital point; he was only injured and bleeding, and his combat power dropped sharply. He would not die for a while.

But in this way, Han Dang's [-] Jiangdong soldiers were in a very bad situation. They were besieged and killed by [-] Yang Chou's army, and they were completely passive and beaten. It was extremely dangerous and threatened to be destroyed at any time.

At the same time, Sun Ce himself led more than [-] soldiers and horses to surround the county guard's mansion.Originally, his planned plan was to capture Zhang Yang alive, and then hold Zhang Yang as a hostage, forcing the soldiers and horses under Zhang Yang's tent to throw their hands at him, so as to serve him.After dealing with Zhang Yang's troops, he led a large army into the South Courtyard to suppress Jiang Qi's troops, disarming and surrendering them in one fell swoop, and it was a success.Finally, after he collected these soldiers and horses, he went to the granary to carry food, grass and luggage, as much as he could take; when Zhou Yu's army entered the city, he led his troops out of the city from the east gate, and then took a boat to the south of Sili, and went to Jiangjindu via Nanyang. , and then return to Jiangdong.

The plan was very thorough, and even the southward path after evacuating Anyi City was thought out.But Sun Ce never dreamed that when he led the army into the main hall of the front yard of the sheriff's mansion, there was no one in the huge mansion, which made him think that he was in an ambush. Zhang Yang's headless body was found.The reason why Sun Ce was able to recognize the headless body as Zhang Yang's was because he had been with Zhang Yang before the third watch, so the moment he saw the headless body, he recognized the body lying in a pool of blood. A headless body is publicity.

Immediately afterwards, after searching by soldiers, it was found that Zhang Yang's family members in the backyard were also brutally slaughtered, and dozens of men, women and children were killed.

Zhang Yang's family was wiped out!

This discovery shocked Sun Ce, feeling that the situation was not good, and immediately wanted to lead the army to evacuate the Sheriff's Mansion.Unexpectedly, before he walked out of the main hall, the gate was blocked by Jiang Qi who came over after hearing the wind, and Jiang Qi led his own soldiers directly into the front yard. When he saw dozens of corpses lined up in the yard There are corpses of all ages, men, women and children, and the most conspicuous one is the headless corpse of Zhang Yang.

In an instant, Jiang Qi understood everything. Zhang Yang's family, old and young, were all wiped out by Sun Ce, and Zhang Yang's head was also beheaded by Sun Ce.As far as the eye can see, it is horrible!

Immediately, Jiang Qi knew without much thought that Sun Ce had defected from the Allied Forces, otherwise how could Zhang Yang's family have been murdered.Immediately, without any explanation, Jiang Qi, who was furious, led more than [-] Jizhou troops to attack the compound from the main gate, while Sun Ce, who couldn't argue with anything, had to lead [-] parts to rush out from the courtyard, trying to escape through the door.As a result, tens of thousands of horses from both sides crowded in the narrow front yard of the Sheriff's Mansion, and staged a tragic melee fight.

As wars broke out at the city gate and the county guard's mansion one after another, the garrisons in the entire Anyi city rushed over after hearing the news, and immediately threw themselves into the fight.It's just that the soldiers who came after that were almost all soldiers of Zhang Yang and Jiang Qi, and they all had the same goal, to besiege and kill Sun Ce and his Jiangdong soldiers.In this way, the two battlefields started fighting almost at the same time, and Zhang Yang and Jiang Qi's army of more than [-] people joined forces to besiege Jiangdong Sun Ce.However, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses in the city only have more than [-] infantry and cavalry, and the remaining [-] soldiers and horses are still stationed in the North Gate Camp ten miles outside the North Gate.

Sun Ce, who was in a dangerous situation, miscalculated this time. It is true that people are not as good as heaven, and stealing chickens is not enough to lose money.I wanted to make a last grab before leaving, and then slap my ass and leave, but I didn't expect to count myself into it instead, so I couldn't justify it.

This big scuffle fought for more than an hour, until it was bright, Yang Chou's troops on the battlefield at the North Gate defeated Han Dang and fled. In the end, only 5000 of the more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers followed Han Dang out. Surrounded by a tight siege, he fled to the east gate in a hurry.

After the victory, Yang Chou also knew that Jiang Qi was leading his troops to fight Sun Ce in the county guard's mansion, and learned that Sun Ce had killed Zhang Yang's family, old and young.This surprised him greatly, and he was keenly aware of the great opportunity hidden in it, so he immediately ordered people to open the city gate to welcome Zhou Yu's army into the city.And he himself led an army of more than [-] to go straight to the county guard's mansion, gathering stragglers along the way, whether it was Zhang Yang's trilogy or the Jizhou army, all of them were under his account.

At this time, Yang Chou was planning a more grand plan, which was to lead his troops to encircle the Sheriff's Mansion in an attempt to trap Sun Ce and Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses in the Sheriff's Mansion. The remnants of the Allied forces were wiped out.Now that he has killed Zhang Yang, if he traps Sun Ce and Jiang Qi again, the credit will be great enough for him to jump into the dragon's gate and become a general and marquis.Thinking of this, Yang Chou was extremely excited, complacent, and felt that the future was bright, his fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high, and he led nearly 2 horses all the way to the county government.

The next battle was just as Yang Chou expected, he successfully surrounded the remnants of Sun Ce and Jiang Qi, waited quietly for Zhou Yu's army to arrive, and then wiped out the two allied forces together.However, when Zhou Yu personally led the army to arrive, he attacked and killed Yang Chou's army in the first move. This dramatic change seemed to pour cold water on Yang Chou's heart, and he was at a loss for what to do.Just at this time, Sun Ce and Jiang Qi, who were trapped in the mansion, somehow cleared up their previous suspicions, joined forces to break through the siege, and went straight to the east gate.

Just when Zhou Yu sent his army to attack and kill Yang Chou's troops, the eagle-eyed commanders Yan Xing and Sui Gu who had been hiding in the dark appeared in front of Zhou Yu in time.At this moment, there was no way of knowing what they were talking about, because the only people present at that time were Yan Xing, Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

However, after talking for a while, Yan Xing took over the army, and immediately received nearly [-] soldiers from Yang Chou's troops, and led his troops to pursue the remnants of Sun Ce and Jiang Qi's troops who had fled to the east gate.Anbei general Zhou Yu followed Lu Su and Sui Gu into the county guard's mansion until Yan Xing led his army to pursue him back and recorded the battle in detail. Zhou Yu never showed up again.

"Zhou Yu is indeed a rare general. It's a pity that he didn't want to do such a foolish thing this time!" After learning the details from Guo Jia, Jia Xu shook his head and sighed with a complicated expression.

Guo Jia nodded slightly, and opened his mouth to echo Jia Xu's words, but suddenly saw Li Li appearing behind Jia Xu at some point, and immediately fell silent.

"I have always wondered if I was too lenient in dealing with Sun Ce before? But now it seems that I have not done enough. Looking at Zhou Yu's actions, you can see how big the gap is. Brotherhood is indeed worth cherishing. I have never objected to this, and I am willing to support it. However, if someone takes the lives of my Xiliang soldiers as a trifle, they will not take my Li Li seriously, and regard my Xiliang military discipline as nothing ?”

While speaking, Li Li looked extremely calm, as if he was talking about something irrelevant, and his tone was so flat that he was a little indifferent.

After a short pause, Li Li walked out of the city tower lightly, and said as he walked: "Let's let this matter go, and no one should discuss it indiscriminately in the future. Right now, our army is fighting frequently. , we can’t mess up our own positions. Order Teng Xiao to take over Bingzhou soldiers and horses with full authority, Tie Xiao to take over Hedong County and serve as the general of Anyi, and Zhou Yu transferred back to the Chinese army to serve as the commander of the army. The army will return to Guannei tomorrow, and Zilong will lead from Xingyang After the troops return, reward the whole army for three days!"

Thanks: book friend Xiao March ticket support, thank you!

"The head of the Chinese army?"

Watching Li Li's figure gradually go away, Jia Xu whispered to himself thoughtfully.

Guo Jia nodded slightly when he heard the sound, and said in a low voice: "This may be the best solution at the moment. Although he has no right to lead the army, he stays with the lord and becomes a close confidant. He is neither high nor low, making people unpredictable."

"Well, according to Xiao Xiao's words, it makes sense."

Jia Xu nodded understandingly, then walked side by side with Guo Jia to the railing, looking north with a complicated expression.

"What Zhou Yu did this time is indeed a little too much. It has obviously angered the lord. If it weren't for his outstanding military exploits and his brother-in-law with the lord, I'm afraid he will be in trouble this time and won't be able to get out of his body." Holding the railing, Looking up, Jia Xu said softly.

Guo Jia nodded lightly and sighed: "Yes, letting go of nearly ten thousand remnants including Sun Ce and Jiang Qi, and mistakenly killing thousands of Hanoi soldiers, this crime is not light! Letting go of the enemy before the battle, wantonly killing surrendered soldiers, This is tantamount to treason and treason, which is a heinous crime. If other generals make such a big mistake, they will be dismissed from office at the slightest, demoted to a soldier after being punished, and at the worst, they will lose their lives and their families will be destroyed.

However, this matter happened to be done by Zhou Yu.He is regarded by our army as the number one general under the lord's command. He is only inferior to the lord for his exquisite use of troops and outstanding military exploits, and he has won the lord's appreciation and trust.In just one year, he was promoted from Juchao Ling to General Zhonglang, and after he went out with the army, he became the deputy general of the Chinese army.Then he pacified the Southern Huns, recovered the whole territory of Bingzhou, made military exploits repeatedly, and was promoted to General Anbei after his accumulated meritorious service.Is the head of our army generals.Since then, his official position has been higher than that of Li Xian, the major general, and his status is second only to the lord, as if he is below one person and above ten thousand people.

After this battle, if Zhou Yu doesn't make mistakes, he will be promoted again and officially rank among the generals of the four towns.Beyond Jiuqing, it is better than Sangong.People with such outstanding talents are rare in a hundred years.It can be called a talent in the world, which is really amazing! "

"Oh?" Jia Xu turned his head to look at Guo Jia in astonishment, and said suspiciously: "It seems that there is something else behind Feng Xiao's words. Could it be that there is something hidden in it?"

Guo Jia smiled slightly.With burning eyes, he looked at Jia Xu, and said with a light smile, "How can this matter be hidden from brother Wen He's eyes? Now, brother is just in the middle of the game, just talking about the matter, and doesn't think much about it. If Wen He Brother He jumped out of the game and stayed out of the matter. It is not difficult to see that there are other strange things in this matter, and there are many intriguing doubts hidden in it. At the same time, the attitude of the lord towards this matter is also worth considering, and Lu Su, the lord's brother-in-law, seems to be doing something Didn't do it. But it's very important. If he hadn't been involved, I'm afraid Zhou Yu wouldn't be able to argue this time.

However, it was precisely because of Lu Su's intervention that the battle in Anyi became very clear.At first glance, Zhou Yu seems to be suspected of deliberately colluding with the enemy, but there is no real evidence. He only needs to say that he does not know that Yang Chou has led his troops to surrender, and he can completely remove the blame.And his words, with Lu Su's testimony from the side, can easily get rid of the charge of collaborating with the enemy and turn his fault into a fault.In this way, although he cannot escape the guilt, he will not endanger his family and life.From this point of view, General Zhou Yu is indeed extremely wise, well versed in world affairs and human relationships, and even more so, he is a general who knows how to advance and retreat, and how to protect himself! "

After being reminded by Guo Jia, Jia Xu's expression changed drastically after being astonished, and then he suddenly realized.

"What a Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin!" After trying to understand the reason, Jia Xu couldn't help admiring, with an inexplicable look of surprise on his face.

After calming down, Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia and nodded slightly to express his gratitude. Then he gazed deeply at the direction of Anyi City, and whispered with admiration: "Zhou Yu can do it in just ten months. From a county magistrate to General Anbei, who is comparable to Jiuqing, it is a miracle to worship a general and become a marquis. It is the first of its kind and has never been seen before. Including me, Jia Xu, many civil servants and generals in our Xiliang Army all think of him Therefore, being able to rise to such a high position in such a short period of time is purely due to the lord's appreciation and cultivation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be promoted so quickly even if he had the ability of latitude and longitude.

For this reason, I was still a little bit worried for him, because of his outstanding achievements and outstanding military exploits, the lord must reward him for his meritorious service, and once again he will be promoted to a noble.In this way, his situation is not good. Not everyone can sit in the position of one person under one person and above ten thousand people. If he is a little careless, he will become the target of public criticism.

Previously, the major general Li Xian held this position, and the generals and civil servants naturally had no objection, because Li Xian was the lord's younger brother, and he was under the lord alone.However, if Zhou Yu, who has just entered the army, is an extremely human minister and surpasses all the generals in our army, even if he has made great military exploits, it may not be convincing. It is inevitable that some people will be dissatisfied with him, and then become a The object of being attacked by people.As the saying goes: it is easy to hide a sharp gun but hard to defend against a hidden arrow.If the qualifications are too low, but they are in a high position, no matter how talented they are, they will inevitably be envied by others. This will make them fall into the quagmire of power struggles and cannot extricate themselves.And this is definitely not a good thing for Zhou Yu, so at this time, he needs to retreat in the face of difficulties. It must be known that retreating bravely is called knowing the opportunity, and wise people are the real smart people. "

Speaking of this, Jia Xu and Guo Jia nodded at each other, and then relaxed their dignified expressions, revealing a knowing smile.

Feeling relieved, Jia Xu said with a smile: "Before this, both of you and I were worried that Zhou Yu would be arrogant because of his favor, too sharp, and easy to be framed by villains. In addition, since he led the army alone, he used his troops skillfully. , made repeated military exploits, used only tens of thousands of soldiers to pacify Shuofang, took Bingzhou lightly, and now led the army to recover the two counties of Hedong and Hanoi. Such military exploits are not insignificant. It is not impossible to be promoted to the position of Sangong.

However, although the results of the battle of Sili and the decisive battle of Loudiyuan this time were also complete victories and a lot of gains, compared with the triumphant advances of Zhou Yu's army, they were slightly bleak.In terms of the territory and the obvious results of the battle, Zhou Yu's army regained the southern Xiongnu and the entire territory of Bingzhou, taking hundreds of thousands of people and [-] soldiers and horses of Bingzhou; The city lost its land, and until now it has lost the land of Henan and Luoyang counties.Compared with the two, we are much inferior.

These victories on the surface made Zhou Yu's sharp edge invisible, and he stood out.And this is precisely the taboo in the life of us ministers. What does it mean to be a master of meritorious deeds, everyone who is educated knows who doesn't know.People in such a situation, no matter whether the master is wise or tolerant, must retreat bravely and protect himself wisely, otherwise he will be tricked by villains.

For this reason, we have been secretly worrying for Zhou Yu, fearing that he will not understand the pros and cons, and the way to advance and retreat.However, now it seems that my worries were unfounded.Zhou Yu is far smarter and wiser than we imagined, perhaps as early as when he captured the entire territory of Bingzhou, he had already begun to seek a way out for himself.As a result, the Battle of Anyi just happened to send him a step, asking him to use the slope to descend the donkey and pour some dirty water on himself, so as to cover up his previous illustrious military exploits. "

After a pause in his tone, Jia Xu changed his subject abruptly: "It's just that Zhou Yu's retreat strategy this time was somewhat unexpected. It will affect his own life. Fortunately, he met the lord, who is rare in the world, and has a broad mind. Facing such a big mistake made by Zhou Yu, the lord just said it lightly, and never pursued it. It's Zhou Yu's luck, and it's also our great luck!"

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Guo Jiaxin smiled, then shook his head slightly, turned his head to look around the tower, and said to Jia Xu in a low voice: "Brother Wen He's words are a bit evasive. In fact, you Both of us understand that even though Zhou Yu didn't think about taking advantage of the slope and retreating bravely, as long as he didn't kill Sun Ce after the war, he would inevitably get into trouble, be speechless, and suffer. Afterwards, he still It is unavoidable to be tainted with taint, to give others a handle, and to be attacked by others. The result is to retain the current official title and get some gold and silver rewards, and there will be no more rewards for increasing officials and ranks.

And all of this stems from the fact that the lord had already made arrangements for the battle in Hedong, and he didn't inform Zhou Yu in advance, so he kept him in the dark and fell into it unknowingly.At the same time, the lord has another purpose for this move, which is to use Zhou Yu's hand to capture and kill Sun Ce. The worst result is to prompt Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to break up completely, so as to eliminate hidden dangers. "

After a pause, the smile on Guo Jia's face quickly disappeared, and he said solemnly: "It is true that the lord promised Zhou Yu not to kill Sun Ce, so Sun Ce survived the battle of Dongyuan City. However, the lord himself He can't do it, but he can secretly trick Zhou Yu to cut off Sun Ce himself. This will not violate the oath of the day, but also achieve his goal. The best of both worlds, why not do it?

But Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu after all, maybe he has already understood the real intention of the lord when he received the lord's military order.Although he didn't know that the lord had other plans, he knew that it was the lord who forced him to express his heart, officially breaking up with Sun Ce.So, following his lord's intention, he made a secret agreement with Sun Ce, and specially invited Lu Su to be a witness. "

"As for Lu Su, the righteous brother of the lord, he is truly wise and foolish. He helped Zhou Yu realize his plan and knew the whereabouts of Yan Xing and others, but he remained calm and watched the situation change. When Zhou Yu was agitated and angry When it was out of control, Lu Su immediately assisted Yan Xing to take over the army, and simply and neatly lifted Zhou Yu's military power.

So, a scuffle in Anyi City caused Sun Ce to be surrounded. Instead of gaining any benefits, he lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then fled for his life in desperation, not daring to stay in Sili again. "

Thanks: book friends Fallen Star 03, kingleo book friends for rewarding support, thank you!

"Thus, Sun Ce fell into a heavy siege during a scuffle in Anyi City. Instead of gaining any benefits, he lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and then ran for his life in desperation, not daring to stay in Sili again.

At the same time, Sun Ce, who suffered a terrible defeat, didn't know what was going on. He must think that the fiasco was all caused by Zhou Yu's conspiracy.Since then, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, the former good friends, parted ways naturally, and became strangers to each other ever since. "
