Zhou Yu stood up and paced back and forth, thinking about the possibility of Wujun being captured.
"Ziyi, do you think Wujun has been conquered?" Zhou Yu stopped suddenly and asked Tai Shici.
Tai Shici looked puzzled and worried: "Dadu governor, Zhao Ke before me, had an impression that he was indeed the army commander of the patrol River Camp in Louxian county. He was under Zhu Fengche's command."
The meaning of Tai Shici's words is more obvious. A military Sima who is clearly still in Wujun suddenly appears in Lujiang. Isn't Cao Jun really conquering Wujun and sending it here?
Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "in this way, there may be a crisis in Wujun."
"Governor, is our army going to withdraw and abandon Lujiang County for the time being?" Tai Shici asked.
This time, Zhou Yu led his troops to the north to recover the Lujiang River. However, compared with Lujiang, Wujun is obviously more important. If Wujun is captured and Sun Quan is captured, the morale of Jiangdong army will collapse.
Zhou Yu shook his head slightly.
"Wu county may have been invaded by Cao's army, but it may not be irreparable. Otherwise, why don't you ask our army for help?"
Tai Shici's eyes brightened: "what the governor said was very right. Maybe Xia Houyuan had a saw fight with the Lord in Wu County, and it was not in danger."
"Well... It still needs to be confirmed."
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu said, "pass on the command of the governor."
"First of all, remove all the soldiers who have witnessed the city today, and let them live in the city. They are not allowed to spread the news, you know?"
As the saying goes, if these Jiangdong soldiers break their mouths and spread the news of the fall of Wujun, the city will be in a great disorder. Therefore, they must be separated and their mouths firmly controlled.
Tai Shici nodded approvingly.
"Second, you send your cavalry to inform Jiang Qin and ask him to inquire about the military situation of Wujun as soon as possible. Do you understand?" Zhou Yu warned.
It was the Navy led by Jiang Qin that sent the rebel army under Zhou Yu's command to Lujiang County. Today, Jiang Qin is still able to lead the Navy close to Lujiang County to deliver food and grass for Zhou Yu's army. It is naturally much faster to transmit information from the water than on the road. After all, sailing on water can be done day and night without fatigue.
Tai Shici directly asked for orders: "Dudu, it's better for someone to go out of the city in person. I'm afraid that ordinary riders can't break through the Cao army's encirclement."
Zhou Yu pondered a little and nodded: "well, in that case, you can go out of the city in person, but you must be careful."
"No!"
Tai Shici is full of confidence. In history, Beihai was surrounded. It was he who went out of the city to ask for help. Tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves failed to stop him.
That night, Tai Shici took a long spear and halberd, carrying a bow and arrow and two bags of arrow feathers. Naturally, Cao's army had been on guard for a long time. More than ten cavalry rode after taishici. However, taishici's divine shot was unparalleled, and he shot down three Cao's cavalry. The rest of Cao's cavalry were scared to pieces and did not dare to chase Tai Shici.
"Well, let him go."
"Yes, the commander has orders. You don't have to catch up with the enemy."
However, Cao's cavalry had already received orders, so they did not chase and intercept him, but directly let Tai Shici go.
Unexpectedly, the breakthrough was so simple that Tai Shici felt that he was overqualified. However, he didn't think much about it. He just urged him to step down from the horse and gallop all the way to the south.
Jiang qinjun water stronghold.
"Ziyi, how did you come here so late?"
When Jiang Qin met Tai Shici, he was surprised. Wasn't he still fighting under the command of Zhou Dudu of Lujiang County? How come all of a sudden.
"Brother Gongyi."
Tai Shici said in a long and short way: "there have been some disturbances in Wu County recently. Do you know?"
"Wujun turmoil?" Jiang Qin frowned and said, "I have never heard of it."
Tai Shici briefly introduced what happened in the daytime today, and then said, "you should send a messenger to Wujun to confirm what happened to the Lord."
Jiang Qin heard the speech, his face coagulated heavily: "you don't worry, I'll send someone."
Jiang Qin arranged for Tai Shici to stay for a while, and then he arranged for a group of elite sailors to take a boat to the south.
Six days later.
"Ziyi, the big thing is not good."
Jiang Qin frowned at Tai Shici and said, "most of the counties in Wu County have been conquered by Xia Houyuan. Wu county is surrounded by Cao troops. There are many ambushes inside and outside. Messengers can't enter the city."
Tai Shici solemnly said, "I know. I'll report it to Dudu."
Tai Shici immediately left the water stronghold of the Chiang Qin army and returned to the city.
"Is the situation so dangerous?"
Zhou Yu could not help frowning, and then said, "order the generals to have a meeting at once."
After a while, the generals of Jiangdong army came to Zhou Yu's governor's office. Because Zhou Yu deliberately suppressed the previous events, many generals of Jiangdong army did not know what was going on, and they were puzzled."I think you don't know what the governor is going to do when he calls the generals at night."
Zhou Yu looked at the puzzled faces of the generals and said slowly.
"I dare to ask governor Zhou what is the matter with me?"
Cheng Pu, who is highly respected, first asked.
"All generals have been called together today to discuss the matter and withdraw." Zhou Yu said slowly.
"Retreat?"
"Why? Is our army going to give up Lujiang County? "
"Today, Cao Cao has a large number of people. If our army abandons Lujiang County, after all, Cao's army has no navy."
The generals of Jiangdong army naturally talked about the retreat. Lujiang County is the northernmost of the six Jiangdong counties. If you want to keep Lujiang County, you have to fight against Cao Cao tens of thousands of troops.
If we withdraw from Lujiang County and rely on the long river natural moat to stop Cao's army, it's not good to give up Lujiang County casually.
"Governor Zhou, why should our army withdraw?"
Cheng Pu asked, "although Cao's soldiers are more powerful, our army can still rely on Jiang Qin's navy to transport food and grass, and it is not enough to withdraw?"
Zhou Yu looked at Cheng Pu and said slowly, "Cao's army raided Wu County from Guangling, and now he has surrounded Wu County."
"What? Wu county is surrounded by Cao's army? "
"Isn't that saying that the Lord is in danger?"
"No wonder our army seems to have to withdraw."
As soon as this was said, all generals of Jiangdong army were shocked. Originally and Cao army in Lujiang confrontation, how unknowingly, Cao Jun suddenly attacked Wujun?
Wujun is the hinterland of Jiangdong. In case of enemy occupation, the consequences would be unimaginable. Most of the family members of the generals and soldiers were in Wujun. It seems that it is necessary to withdraw the troops this time.
