Zhou Yu didn't expect that even Liu Bei had such a shameless side, and was immediately speechless when asked.
The Grand Governor took two deep breaths and suppressed the anger in his heart, because he knew that he had more important things to do.
"General Liu, the matter is over. We will not worry about the gains and losses of Jiangling City. I only have one thing to ask for. I want to guard the north gate for our two alliances. I will use the road to advance westward and capture Yizhou."
"Attack Yizhou?"
Liu Bei rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, since the governor is here, let's stay for a meal. You may not know yet, but my son-in-law Hongfei took out some food from the immortal. The taste is definitely like nothing you have ever experienced. I have some left over from what I have tried, so I will ask the chef to make them for the governor to taste."
"No need, General Liu. I have other important matters to attend to. It's not time to take my leave while we're eating."
"Hey~ No, Governor Zhou, why are you in such a hurry? Yizhou cannot be won in a day or two, Governor, Governor?"
Liu Bei pretended to chase after him for two steps. Seeing Zhou Yu walk away, he sneered and said to himself: "If you don't eat, you will be defeated. I think you just don't have the luck."
Seeing Zhou Yu leaving angrily, Zhuge Liang turned around from behind.
"Lord, something seems not right with Zhou Gongjin this time."
"The military advisor thinks something is wrong? Could it be that... his march westward to Yizhou is fake, but his sneak attack on our army is real?"
Zhuge Liang held the goose feather fan in his hand and shook it gently, and said in a deep voice: "No, I always feel that Zhou Yu seems to be a little anxious. Logically speaking, even if his city loses Jiangling, he will not come to question the lord in person. How much is this?" A little too restless."
"Could it be that my good son-in-law made me angry? No one can accept this easily."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "I still feel it's not that simple. My lord, we'd better send a team of detective horses to follow them quietly to see what Zhou Yu is worried about this time."
"Okay, just follow what the military advisor said."
As Zhao Yun's team entered Jiangling, and after leaving enough defensive troops, Zhao Yun personally sent 500 soldiers and rushed to Xiangyang to support his brother. He was also worried that something might happen to Zhao Yi.
But when Zhao Yun arrived at Xiangyang City, he saw the old god Zhao Yizheng riding on his horse, directing his soldiers to organize the luggage.
"Brother, you are here. Take a look at what you can use here and bring some souvenirs back to your sister-in-law."
Zhao Yun was a little dumbfounded. Looking at the busy soldiers, he couldn't help but ask: "Hongfei, where did these properties come from? We can't rob the people."
"Brother, who do you think Hongfei is? I'm not a bandit. These are the things that the wealthy families in Jingzhou voluntarily donated to us as military pay. There are those from the Kuai family, the Cai family, and the Heng family. These three families have solid financial resources.”
Zhao Yun looked around and asked with some confusion: "Hongfei, where are the defenders of Xiangyang? Where are Cao Ren and Yu Jin?"
Zhao Yi waved his hand casually and said: "They all ran away. I think this Cao Ren is nothing more than that. He has a false reputation. Such a big Xiangyang City can't stand it for even a day and ran away. I originally thought that there would be a hard fight and I had to wait for my elder brother." Xiangyang can only be captured by bringing troops to support, who would have thought it would be so easy."
"Ran?"
Zhao Yun was also a little puzzled. To be honest, he admired Cao Ren's combat command ability. In addition, there were generals such as Yu Jin and Zhang He assisting him. There were five thousand elite soldiers in the city. How could he abandon the city and flee?
Also, why did the south gate of Xiangyang collapse so badly when he entered the city? It felt like being hit by ten catapults all day and night.
"Brother, let's not talk about that. We still need to strengthen our defense as soon as possible. Now that you are here, I am relieved. We must prevent Cao Cao from jumping over the wall and making a crazy counterattack."
Speaking of business, Zhao Yun hurriedly calmed down and said: "Don't worry, Hongfei, I will leave the defense of Xiangyang to my brother. I will arrange it right away."
"Okay, it all depends on big brother."
After Zhao Yun left, Zhao Yi continued to sort out his belongings happily, but from the shadow of the corner of the building behind him, a voice came from nowhere.
"I really didn't expect that I just said I would give you a Jiangling, but you actually took Xiangyang City as well. I have seen more than one immortal disciple, but I have never met someone as awesome as you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a petite figure walked out from the corner, it was the Night Crow of the Killing House.
Zhao Yi glanced at her and said with a smile: "Anyway, I still want to thank you for the timely information you sent me. Now I have time to listen to your story. Who are you? What do you want me to do? "
"General Zhao is quick to speak, so please come into the room and have a chat."
Ye Ya said as the back door of an inconspicuous house nearby opened with a creak, and she stepped in.
"Huh? Even Xiangyang has a safe house. It's quite mysterious."
"General Zhonglang, I'm afraid there may be a scam."
Lu Lingqi said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. If she wanted to do harm to me, she would have done it long ago. You can guard outside and let me go in to meet her."
Zhao Yi turned over and dismounted. He looked carefree, but in fact he was fully armed. He walked into the ordinary house and closed the door with his backhand.
This small courtyard is very ordinary. There is a ginkgo tree growing in the courtyard. Some golden leaves are scattered on the ground, but there are not many leaves left on the branches.
Zhao Yi walked into the main room. The light in the room was dim. He lit this candle. The petite black figure knelt down opposite a short table, and the empty seat was obviously reserved for Zhao Yi.
Although he has been here for a long time, Zhao Yi is still not used to sitting on his knees.
"It seems it's time to promote my high chairs and high tables to more cities."
Zhao Yi sat there cross-legged in a very nonchalant manner, with a smile on his face, staring straight at Ye Ya across from him.
Night Crow paused, then stretched out his hand to remove the black cloth covering his face, revealing a petite, delicate and beautiful face that made people's eyes dazzle.
"I knew you were a little girl, but you deliberately lowered your voice and pretended to speak like a man. Let me listen to your story."
Yes, the night crow opposite is a woman. She seems to be around 20 years old. She has a pair of particularly bright eyes that reflect the dim light of the candle.
"I should call you General Zhonglang now. General Zhonglang guessed it right. I am indeed a member of the Killing Institute, but you don't know something. The Killing Institute has many members and a complex organization. It has continued to grow in the hundreds of years since its establishment. Due to the expansion, it has long lost its original control and the original intention when it created the Killing Yard.
When the Killing House was first founded, it was about killing people for justice, sacrificing oneself to achieve the greater self, but now it has developed into a killer organization that kills innocent people indiscriminately for money and power. In any case, this is not what we want to see. We, the heart-guarding faction, are here There is less and less say in the Killing Yard. The radical faction advocates joining forces with the Tianxiahui to control the situation in the Central Plains and support a puppet emperor to do whatever they want.
Their ambitions are no different from those of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, but they are not worthy of being exploited by the world. How can Sima Bada be so easy to meet? They took themselves so seriously that they even ignored the tripartite restriction alliance established a hundred years ago by Tianxiahui, Slaughterhouse, and Shenxian Tower. "
Zhao Yi suddenly raised his hand when he heard this and interjected: "Wait, interrupt, you said Sima Bada, will they have anything to do with the world?"
Ye Ya nodded slightly and said: "Yes, there are many noble families in the Tianxiahui, and the Sima family is one of them, and it plays a decisive role in the core circle of this Tianxiahui.
The young people of this generation of the Sima family are full of talents and have great ambitions. The eight children are all among the best, so they are also called "Sima Bada". "
"I know this. Is the leader named Sima Yi, nicknamed Zhongda?"
"You actually know Sima Zhongda?"
Zhao Yi chuckled and said: "I know, of course I know, who I thought was behind my back has been having trouble with me. It turns out to be Sima Yi. It's strange. I, Zhao Yi, and the Sima family have no grievances in the past and have no enmity recently. Why are they dragging me along?" Are you going to hold on to me?"
