In a blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the past few days, almost all counties in Danyang have received letters from Zhuge Liang, and the whole of Danyang is in turmoil for a moment.

Even several county magistrates closer to Shicheng have surrendered one after another, and most of the rest are waiting for Jiangdong's response. If the Sun family in Jiangdong sits on the scene, they may also surrender.

As for Wujun, after learning that Zhang Xiu used troops to capture Niuzhu, he was extremely angry. However, Sun Ce was not in Wujun, so the Sun family could only organize soldiers on the one hand and wait on the other.

Pan Zhang led the camp and after some remarks, Han Dang believed it without any doubt and immediately brought 15,000 Jingjia out of the city, preparing to take it back to Niuzhu.

Only the deputy general was left to command 5,000 people to guard it.

And that night, Hefei fell, Pan Zhang and Gao Shun, together with Zhang Liao and Liu Ye, directly took Hefei from both sides and outside. When Han Dang found out, everything was too late.

Han Dang was angry and annoyed. He did not bring food when he went out. Now that Hefei is occupied, he has become an isolated army unless he can conquer Niuzhu or Hefei.

However, if the soldiers have no food, they will be defeated. In less than three days, they will inevitably turn into a pile of loose sand.

Han Dang was unwilling to accept it, so he immediately led his army to turn around and intends to capture Hefei. Otherwise, how could he face Zhang Xiu?

However, Hefei was reinforced by him and he did not have large siege equipment, so it was a dream to take Hefei.

......

At this time, in Wu County.

People in the Wu County were panic.

From officials and gentry to ordinary people.

Everyone was filled with shadows. After all, the Jingzhou soldiers suddenly attacked, and they had already captured Niuzhu and opened the gate of Yangzhou.

It is estimated that it will take not long before the invaders in Jingzhou will officially invade Wujun.

In the Wu County General's Mansion, the Wu State was in charge of the rule.

Wu Guotai has a great status in Jiangdong. At this time, she was very old and was in charge of government affairs. There was no way, Jiangdong was too chaotic at this time.

And for some reason, her pupils have been leaping around in recent days, and she always feels that something bad has happened.

Under the hall, on both sides.

There were not many martial artists, and only He Qi and others had a little reputation. However, there were many great talents in the literati, such as Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, etc., and Sun Quan also stood in the hall.

At this time, Zhang Zhao strided out with a serious voice, "Old lady, now that Zhang Xiu's troops are at the city, he will soon put the army in the face. You should make preparations in advance."

"The lord has not yet replied, and there are already panic in Danyang, and many county magistrates in various places have surrendered. If you wait any longer, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Zhao did not explain, but the implication was that he could not wait anymore. Danyang would be gone after waiting. Once Danyang was gone, only Wujun and Kuaiji would be left in Jiangdong.

"Old lady, the enemy has captured Niuzhu Water Village and can cross the river south at any time. Now Pengze Water Village is useless. Let me write to the lord to return to Wujun quickly."

Zhang Hong also said anxiously.

Wu Guo's face was too haggard and showed a little powerlessness. What could she do now? She had tried her best to comfort her, but Zhang Xiu's reputation was awesome for countless people.

It is even said that most of the dozens of literati in the hall have begun to secretly understand Zhuge Liang, but she is unwilling to point it out because she has broken up her face and has no last hope.

At this moment, she had the only hope that Sun Ce could send good news.

However, before she could answer, a soldier ran in outside the door, and he shouted anxiously, "The Grand Governor is back!"

After the words fell, everyone in the hall looked out of the mansion.

Zhou Yu is their last hope. Whether he can stabilize Wujun depends on Zhou Yu.

Looking at the majestic Zhou Yu, everyone read a little worried from his gloomy face, because Zhou Yu, who was elegant and easy-going, looked gloomy and terrifying at this time.

There was nothing else. On the way, Zhou Yu discovered that Zhuge Liang had also made arrangements for Jiujiang and captured Niuzhu. These two moves were directly at his weakness and it was difficult to turn over.

"Gongjin, you are back. How cunning is Zhang Xiu? He attacked the east and west. He took advantage of our army's unpreparedness to capture Niuzhu Water Village in one fell swoop."

"Now there are rumors everywhere in Wu County, and the soldiers and brave men in Jingzhou have also begun to station troops in Niuzhu. I am afraid they will capture Jiangdong soon." Wu Guotai said nervously.

"Do you want to beat the world?" Zhou Yu murmured with self-deprecating words. If it were just like this, he would not be powerless. The key is that this person will bloom on both sides.

"Gongjin, how about Pengze Water Village? Bo Fu didn't come back with you?" Wu Guotai looked around and saw that only Ling Cao and Zhou Tai were following behind Zhou Yu, and the two looked depressed.

"Bo, Bo Fu, he can't come back."

Zhou Yu said this as if he had used all his strength.

"Come back, can't you come back?"

There was an uproar in the hall.

Both civil and military officials were stunned and a little unacceptable.

Wu Guotai even stared at his pupils, looking horrified, and his face was ashamed.

Zhou Yu ignored everyone's expressions. He stepped forward in three or two steps, turned around and looked at everyone, pulled out his sword, took out his military talisman, and shouted:

"The lord's will, Jiangdong cannot be without a master for a day. Zi Shao is still young and it is difficult to coordinate the affairs of Jiangdong. I especially instruct me to do my best to assist his second brother Sun Quan in controlling Jiangdong and protecting the Sun family's foundation."

"Sun Quan succeeded to the throne?"

In the hall, the people who were originally in an uproar were even more surprised and actually let Sun Quan succeed to the throne? Isn’t this nonsense?

Sun Ce convinced people with chivalrous justice, and his civil and military officials admired them, but what is Sun Quan capable of? How could he control Jiangdong? What's more, Jiangdong's current situation?

Sun Quan was even more stunned. Is his elder brother dead? He succeeded to the throne of the lord of Jiangdong?

He was a little dreamy, he was in a daze, he should be sad when his elder brother died, but why did he feel refreshed at this moment and want to whistle to the sky?

Is it because he has lived under the protection of Sun Ce since he was a child, and everyone is compared with Sun Ce? This is also what makes him live under the shadow of Sun Ce since he was a child.

But he was very upset about that feeling.

Now that he is the lord of Jiangdong, he must work hard.

But when he thought that Zhang Xiu was attacking at any time, his mind was a little ache. He must make some achievements to defeat Zhang Xiu and firmly sit in the Lord of Jiangdong.

Listening to the unshirkable discussions of the people in the hall, Zhou Yu looked cold and shouted: "Don't you listen to the lord's order?"

The discussion gradually calmed down,

Zhou Yu stepped down from the stage, then bowed and shouted, "We have seen the lord."

After saying a word, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong looked at each other, and then the two led the civil and military to bow together and said, "We have seen the lord."

Although they recognized their master, they had their own plans in their hearts.

They are all top wise men in the world. Sun Ce's death had a great impact on Jiangdong. After all, Sun Ce was a leader in Jiangdong.

That's not all. The most elite soldiers in Jiangdong were in Pengze and Sun Ce were all killed in battle, which means that most of the soldiers were also alive and dead in a foreign land.

In this way, in other words, the tens of thousands of elite troops in Jiangdong are almost all lost. Pengze Water Village is lost, and Hefei defenders cannot contact him.

The two places were destroyed together, so how could Wu County guard? You should know that the Wu County garrison was only 5,000, and the miscellaneous soldiers in the county towns in various places would only raise another 10,000 at most.

Zhang Xiu could even eat Sun Ce's tens of thousands of elite soldiers, so how could he be afraid of these 8,000 miscellaneous soldiers? I'm afraid these troops would not be able to take Zhang Xiu's angry attack.

Sun Quan was still a little uncomfortable. Although he was not as old as a twentieth, he was so cunning that he humbly took the military talisman handed over by Zhou Yu and looked at everyone and said aloud:

"Everyone, the death of my elder brother on the battlefield is my sadness in Jiangdong. This hatred will be repaid in the future."

"However, now Zhang Xiu's thieves intend to capture our Jiangdong city. We should abandon our past grudges and work together to retreat to the bandits in Jingzhou to strengthen Jiangdong's reputation."

Sun Quan said excitedly. His passionate questioning would definitely resonate with the soldiers, and then he would be heartbroken and receive a wave of loyalty.

However, everyone looked at him like a fool.

Even Zhou Yu sighed lightly. It turned out that he should have given Sun Ce because Niu Zhu did not lose it. In this way, Han Dang's 20,000 elite troops could be transferred back in time, so he was three-point sure to protect the Jiangdong foundation.

But now, even he feels powerless.

There is no way, can we just rely on the miscellaneous soldiers from all over the country to guard Wu County? Or temporarily elect Jiangdongerlang?

He had seen the power of Zhang Xiu's personal guards and Xuanwei Army. He probably could have the miscellaneous soldiers from all over Wu County on the ground.

Over and over again,

As for temporary recruitment, it is estimated that it is rare to ensure that Jiangdong is not in chaos.

Seeing that everyone was not catering to him, Sun Quan's expression became sank and a little annoyed, but he was quite cunning and did not show it, but looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu sighed lightly, then clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the current situation is turbulent inside and outside, and once the news of Bo Fu's death spread, it will inevitably cause an uproar."

"On the way back, I found that nearly ten counties around Shicheng, such as Danyang, Moling, Jurong, Hushu, etc., were all surrendered to Zhang Xiu's command."

"It is probably impossible to shake the Zhang Xiu army with only relying on the defenders in Wu County." Zhou Yu said this, and he looked at the many civil and military officials in the hall, which made everyone panic.

Zhou Yu knew that a clever wife could not cook without rice. Without soldiers, Zhou Yu could not do anything. Whether he could overcome the current difficulties depends on the Jiangdong clan.

Because he knew that each of the wealthy families in Jiangdong had hundreds or even more than a thousand generals, and these generals were trained for a long time.

Although he is not as weak as the elite under Sun Ce's command, he is also not weak. If the Jiangdong family is willing to help him, he is still 10% or 20% sure to delay until the next year.

He believes that the situation will inevitably change in the coming year.

However, it is probably harder to make these old people bleed than to reach the sky. Youdao is a dynasty that has made the best of its kind, and if you want them to help them with all their strength, I am afraid...

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu sighed again.

This path doesn't work. If you really do it, you will only force these people to rebel. It is not impossible to force the palace to be forced to do so.
To be continued...
