Lu Yi sighed when he saw Tian Yu being so moved.
This Tian Yu was definitely a famous general in original history.
But now, he is so depressed that he has missed it.
This shows how important opportunities are to a person.
Without opportunities, even all talents will be difficult to develop.
After helping Tian Yu up, Lu Yi directly appointed him as the commander of the other departments, and then took him into the government office.
After Tian Yu had eaten and drank enough, Lu Yi took him to meet Liu Ye, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zhang Hong and others.
Afterwards, Tian Yu led a thousand soldiers and more than 400 oxen, followed the pottery merchant out of the city, and set up an ambush.
After Tian Yu left, the entire Shu County became more and more nervous.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai inspected the fortifications on the city wall almost every day.
Lu Yi and Zhang Hong began to recruit soldiers and horses in Shu County and inspected the military camps. They were extremely busy every day.
Another five days passed.
The battle report finally came from the front.
Ji Ling, who was guarding Hefei, learned that Lujiang County had been lost and the prefect Liu Xun had been killed. He immediately organized 30,000 troops and went straight to Shu County!
When the big families and people in Shu County heard the news, their faces turned ashen.
People kept gathering at the south gate of the city, wanting to leave Shu County.
Cheng Pu suggested killing chickens to scare monkeys.
Now that Shu County is about to face a war, it is when manpower is needed. The major families and people in Shu County can be of great help during the war.
Kill the families and people who are causing the most trouble, thereby frightening other families and people and keeping them in Shu County.
Lu Yi did not listen to Cheng Pu's suggestion this time.
First of all, Shu County has experienced wars many times, with too many casualties. The major families and people are afraid that war is coming and it is inevitable.
Secondly, if he wants to control Hefei or even Shouchun in the future, if he holds the title of "butcher" like Sun Ce, it will be several times more difficult for the soldiers defending the city.
In this case, it has established a good reputation among major families and people from the beginning.
When defending the city, people are willing to help.
This process is slow and long-term and must be started as early as possible.
Thirdly, this kind of bloody suppression has both advantages and disadvantages.
If Shu County really cannot be defended, these families and people may rebel from within, causing endless harm.
Thinking of this, Lu Yi asked the city guards to open the three gates in the south, east and west of the city and let the people in the city leave.
The people of Shu County immediately came out in droves.
In less than a day, the entire Shu County almost became a dead city.
Only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who couldn't walk stopped and were ready to sit and wait for death.
There were no major families and ordinary people in the city. Lu Yi immediately ordered his soldiers to demolish some houses in the city and move all the stones to the city wall to prepare for the enemy.
Suburbs of Shu County.
Densely packed graveside.
Zhou Yu sat alone in a thatched cottage, looking at Anji's last portrait in a daze.
The person in the portrait is no one else.
It was Sun Ce.
He also learned the news that Sun Ce was ambushed by bandits and hundreds of people led by Xu Gong's retainers in Kuaiji.
During this time, he had been immersed in pain.
Unexpectedly, this time when I said goodbye to Bo Fu and went home to mourn, it turned out to be my eternal farewell to Bo Fu.
Zhou Yu's eyes turned red when he thought of the scenes where he and Bo Fu rode horses in Shu County, read books and hunted together.
In the past two years, God seemed to be playing a joke on him.
The family that was originally the second and third prince was slaughtered overnight, and he transformed from the little prince of the Zhou family who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth to a homeless orphan.
Before he could recover from the pain of genocide, Sun Ce, who was close to him, received bad news again: he was ambushed and killed.
How does he accept this?
Just when Zhou Yu was caressing Sun Ce's portrait in a daze, a figure walked over quickly and stopped outside the thatched cottage.
This is the servant Yuan Shu arranged for Zhou Yu.
Before the Zhou family was destroyed and Yuan Shu had not yet proclaimed himself emperor, Yuan Shu sent his original chief, Yan Xiang, to Shu County from Shouchun to personally bury all the dead souls of the Zhou family, thus demonstrating his magnanimity as a descendant of a famous family with four generations and three sons.
After Zhou Yu bid farewell to Sun Ce and arrived from Ou'a, he was very resistant to the people sent by Yuan Shu.
Although there is no direct evidence, the destruction of the Zhou family and the destruction of the direct murderer Zheng Bao and his gang members all directly told Zhou Yu that Yuan Shu was the real culprit!
When the Zhou family was destroyed, the most powerful person was Yuan Shu!
Without the Zhou family, which was unparalleled in Yangzhou, Yangzhou would be Yuan Shu's world.
Without the Zhou family, Sun Ce would have no strong supply of food and grass, and would lose the absolute support to resist Yuan Shu.
However, no matter how suspicious he was, Zhou Yu had nothing to do for the time being.
Even if he found evidence, there was nothing he could do.
Yuan Shu was so powerful that he was destined to have no hope of revenge for the time being.
Originally, he planned to return to Jiangdong after the mourning was over, help Sun Ce unify Jiangdong, and then seek revenge on Yuan Shu.
But he didn't expect that Sun Ce would die in battle!
At this moment, seeing the servant coming, Zhou Yu forcibly looked away from Sun Ce's portrait and looked at the servant who came over expressionlessly.
The servant stopped at the door of the thatched cottage, bowed and said: "Mr. Zhou, there is news in the city. Ji Ling, the general in charge of Hefei, led an army of 30,000 to attack, preparing to recapture Lujiang and avenge Liu Xun, the prefect. After hearing the news, all major officials in Shu County Families and people fled Shu County one after another."
After a pause, the servant continued: "Lu Yi, the lord of Jiangdong in Shu County, has opened the three gates in the south, east and west of the city, letting all the big families and people in the city leave."
Zhou Yu waved his hand expressionlessly.
He really couldn't accept Yuan Shu's servants.
He tried to drive away several times, but the other party claimed that he was already his servant and would only follow him.
During this time, the other party has also been sending food and drinks, and bringing some news from the city.
Let's just say that the news of Sun Ce's death in battle came from the other party.
Therefore, his attitude towards this person has improved a bit.
I used to scold him all the time.
Recently, the scolding has stopped and turned into gestures.
When the servant saw Zhou Yu's gesture asking him to leave, he wisely wanted to leave.
Suddenly, Zhou Yu looked stunned.
Lu Yi, the Lord of Jiangdong?
Before, although he knew that Jiangdong had changed owners, he did not know who the new owner of Jiangdong was.
Now that someone mentioned it, he suddenly woke up.
Lu Yi?
That little nest leader? The people from the Lu Kang branch that he always looked down upon?
Before he left Ou A, the head of the Lu family took the initiative to send food and grass in order to please Sun Ce?
How could it be him!
Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped the servant and said: "Come back!"
The servant stopped in confusion, turned back and said, "I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any other instructions?"
Zhou Yu walked out quickly and asked: "You just said, Lu Yi, the Lord of Jiangdong? Why is the Lord of Jiangdong not the Sun family?"
The servant looked at Zhou Yu blankly and said, "I really don't know about this. However, everyone in the city knows that the master of Jiangdong is Lu Yi."
"The Lord of Jiangdong is quite a nice person."
"When he entered Shu County, he ordered officials and soldiers to do no harm to the major families and people."
"This time, we opened the city gate and let everyone leave, instead of forcing everyone to stay in the city to help defend the city."
Zhou Yu frowned slightly as he listened to the servant's chatter.
He recalled the scene in his dream before Bo Fu's accident.
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, walked to the tomb, knelt down and worshiped each one, and then walked quickly towards the city of Shu County.
He wants to see this Lu Yi!
He wanted to see how He De, the former little nest leader, could take over Bo Fu and Jiangdong, which he had fought so hard to conquer!
He also wanted to see where the Sun family was!
