Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

In order to fight against Xu Ding, he stopped attacking the city and set up formations to the east of Xiangyang City, preparing for a big battle.

"Governor, my lord has a letter." Cheng Pu walked into Zhou Yu's camp holding a letter.

Zhou Yu opened it to look, and couldn't help frowning.

"Governor, what did my lord say in the letter, can you tell the general?" Cheng Pu asked.

"I didn't say anything. My lord told me to use my troops well, and strive to defeat Xu Ding as soon as possible and capture Xiangyang. General Cheng Pu, you send an order to raise troops at tomorrow's hour, and then challenge Xiangyang." Zhou Yu said.

"Don't lie to me, the governor. My lord is cautious by nature. If you know that Xu Ding has led [-] people here, why would you order an attack?" Cheng Pu asked.

"What does General Cheng mean by this?"

"The last general means that everything should be done according to the lord's military order, and I would like to ask the general to tell you frankly, what did the lord say in the letter?" Cheng Pu refused to let go.

Zhou Yu knew very well that these Jiangdong veterans never discounted Sun Jian's orders in the slightest.

If you don't convince them, you will definitely not be able to march again.

"Look for yourself." Zhou Yu wrote to Cheng Pu.

After reading it, Cheng Pu said: "My lord is right. The time to attack Xiangyang has passed. Now that Xu Ding is leading an army, our army is absolutely invincible. It is better to retreat to Jingnan first and then make plans."

Zhou Yu said: "General Cheng's words are wrong. Our Jiangdong has already broken our face with Xu Ding, and this battle cannot be avoided. If we retreat now, when Xu Ding fights to Jingnan and crosses the Yangtze River, we Where do we go? Instead of waiting until then, it is better to fight now."

Chapter 830 Zhou Yu's Helplessness

Cheng Pu said: "Wars and major events should be decided by the lord, and the governor should just follow them."

"Have you heard, the general, that the general is out, and the king's order is not acceptable?"

"What are you talking about, Commander-in-Chief!" Cheng Pu didn't expect Zhou Yu to say that.

"Whether you like it or not, the governor will attack Xiangyang!" Zhou Yu said every word.

"Humph!"

Cheng Pu didn't reply to his words, snorted, shook his hands and left.

The next morning, Zhou Yu beat drums and assembled the generals, ready to go out.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other Jiangdong veterans did not come.

The army has also been reduced by more than half.

Specifically, all Jiangdong veterans under the command of Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, etc. ignored Zhou Yu.

"It's unreasonable." Zhou Yu sent someone to invite Cheng Pu, but the response he received was that he would withdraw to Jingnan in the afternoon according to Sun Jian's order.They're going to take all the veterans.

Zhou Yu was furious.

I can't wait to arrest Cheng Pu and other generals immediately.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he couldn't do that.

Once the Jiangdong army was in conflict, wouldn't Xu Ding be given a chance to break through?

However, thinking of the current situation, he felt very powerless.The Jiangdong Army is different from the soldiers and horses of other princes. They have feelings for their generals.Sometimes, what military orders cannot do, the generals in charge of their respective troops can do.

The tens of thousands of troops who went out with him were nominally under his command, but actually needed the support of the generals, otherwise his military orders would not be implemented.

And leapfrog command will be disturbed again.

"That's all." After deliberating, Zhou Yu said to the generals in front of the commander's platform: "My lord has sent a military order, let us move back to Jingnan immediately."

"Everyone, return to the camp quickly and prepare to evacuate in the afternoon."

"No." The generals responded.

Due to obstruction by Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, Zhou Yu was unable to attack Xiangyang again.

Xu Ding's army also got a short rest time when they arrived in Xiangyang City.

at night.

Xu Ding summoned all the generals and held a banquet to entertain them.

"General Gongsun, General Wenpin, and civil and military men of Jingzhou, I respect you for this bottle of wine! Without your persistence, Xiangyang City would have belonged to Zhou Yu long ago. Now that you defend Xiangyang, it is equivalent to defending the entire Jingzhou. Generals, Ministers please!" Xu Ding raised his wine bottle.

"Your Majesty, please."

Everyone drank it.

Gongsun Zan got up and said, "Your Majesty, in the end, you will fail His Majesty's high expectations. It is really a crime to lose more than half of the white horse righteousness."

"The last general also suffered heavy losses." Wen Pin also stood up and pleaded guilty.

"Two generals, please sit down." Xu Ding pressed his hand and said, "Zhou Yu is a famous general in the world. It is already remarkable that you can defend Xiangyang. As for casualties, it is inevitable."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."

At this time, Xu Ding saw Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and said, "The two gentlemen also contributed a lot. I don't know where Liu Jingsheng is now?"

Kuai Yue got up and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Liu Jingsheng is critically ill, and now rests in the other garden behind the Governor's Mansion. I will send someone to guard it. Liu Jingsheng's wife and children are also there."

"Ah."

Xu Ding nodded and said: "Liu Jingsheng is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. I want to send him and his family to Chang'an, to be with the Emperor of Han. It should be its final destination."

"Your Majesty is truly merciful."

Kuai Yue quickly praised him.

The banquet is halfway through.

Guo Jia said: "Zhou Yu has already been forced to withdraw. I think Sun Jian knew he was invincible and dared not fight with His Majesty. I suggest sending a eloquent person to go to Jiangdong as an envoy. Maybe we can win without fighting. I advise Sun Jian to surrender."

"Feng Xiao thinks, who is worthy of this job?" Xu Ding asked.

"I do think of a candidate, but I'm afraid His Majesty will not agree."

"Who?"

"Zhuge Kongming. If he is willing to go, with his three-inch tongue, he will definitely be able to make meritorious service. I just don't know what he thinks now, whether he is willing to submit to His Majesty."

Xu Ding also rang.

In history, Zhuge Liang once went to Soochow as an envoy to outwit all the sages of Soochow.
