Seeing that Yuan Tan had already spoken, Zhou Yu stood up and said, "I'm a little tired today. Young Master, you continue to play. I'll go back to the military camp to rest first."
Yuan Tan said: "Okay, then go ahead!"
Wen Chou watched Zhou Yu leave the handsome tent with disdain.
As soon as Zhou Yu stepped out, Wen Chou couldn't help but laughed and said, "I don't know what it means, but you're still telling me what to do!"
The other generals also laughed.
"General Wen, why bother arguing with a boy who doesn't know what the world is like?"
"I don't know what my lord sees in him! Apart from being more handsome, he has no other merits!"
"If he had any ability, would Jiangdong be taken away by the Lu family? I heard that in the past, the Zhou family tried their best to support the little overlord Sun Ce in occupying Jiangdong. In the end, because of this, he was uprooted! It's true! It's pitiful that he is the only one who is still alive. If I were him, my parents, sons, daughters, and clan members would all die. If I am so incompetent, I would die of shame and anger!"
Zhou Yu stopped and turned around suddenly, his eyes scarlet.
It's time to go back to the commander's tent.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and stopped.
Isn't that what it's like to live under someone else's roof?
If Bo Fu was still alive, how could he suffer such humiliation?
When Jiangdong is recaptured, stay away from these people!
Zhou Yu left here, and the soldiers guarding the entrance of the commander's tent hurriedly got into the commander's tent, and smiled flatteringly at the Wen Chou generals in the commander's tent: "He was gnashing his teeth at the commander's tent door just now, wanting to come back, but in the end, he left anyway. "
Wen Chou joked: "He is such a weakling. If he had some backbone, I would admire him as a man. But after all, he is a woman!"
Yuan Tan sighed when he saw Wen Chou and other generals in this state.
To be honest, he himself didn't like Zhou Yu very well.
I have never heard of him winning any battles.
Moreover, he is younger than himself.
But thinking that the other party is just like me, he is also a daughter of a famous family. As the eldest son of his father and the likely heir in the future, how can he show no tolerance for others?
Therefore, I can only endure it.
I heard that his father had promised him that after he captured Xuzhou, marched and captured Jiangdong, he would make him the shepherd of Yangzhou?
Yuan Tan sneered.
Who will be convinced?
My eldest son can only be the governor of Qingzhou now!
Pengcheng city wall.
Zhao Yun and a group of people took Zhang Xiu to inspect the city wall to check the current status of the soldiers and the condition of the city wall.
After making an inspection, Zhao Yuncai said to Zhang Xiu with a solemn face: "Senior Brother, you see, the morale of the soldiers is extremely low."
"These days, we have been constantly being attacked by catapults and arrow towers from Yuan Shao's army. The soldiers were killed and injured in the tens of thousands, and we are very frustrated."
"The original plan was for us to slowly retreat back to Xiapi, use the Xiapi city wall to hold on, hold back the enemy, and wait for reinforcements from Guangling and Wuhou."
"At that time, these soldiers will be rotated again."
Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "Junior brother, the more this situation happens, the less likely we are to retreat."
"Once they retreat, the soldiers' morale will be gone, and the tragedy of this battle will affect them for the rest of their lives."
"We need a victory more to boost the morale of our soldiers."
"At that time, with the anger of the soldiers against the enemy and proper command, we will be able to win a great victory."
"Of course, it's hard to really win just by relying on the guys like us."
"I hope the reinforcements from Guangling are on the way now."
"We still have so many soldiers here, and with the soldiers from Guangling, it is possible to win."
Que Ze, who was behind Zhao Yun, questioned: "First, will the enemy really accept the letter of challenge? They have the strength to crush us, so there is no need to act out of emotion."
"Second, if the enemy really accepts it, can we really win with only the 6,000 men and 1,000 cavalry brought by General Zhang? If we cannot win, and we lose more troops and generals, the morale of the soldiers may be even lower by then."
Zhang Xiu glanced at Que Ze and chuckled lightly, but did not reply.
At this moment, a soldier rushed over and said: "Captain Qi, the letter of challenge has been sent to the enemy's commander's tent. The enemy promised to fight tomorrow!"
All the civil servants and generals suddenly became noisy.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao's army had such an advantage and would actually agree to the challenge!
Zhang Xiu looked at Zhao Yun and said, "How many generals are there in Pengcheng who are good at riding and shooting?"
Zhao Yun said: "The number of people is actually one or two thousand, but if there are hundreds of people, I'm afraid I can't move them."
Zhang Xiu asked in confusion: "Why? Are you not the Cavalry Commander of Xuzhou?"
Zhao Yun sighed and said, "They are Lu Bu and his cavalry."
"No matter what, Lu Bu is the father-in-law of Wu Hou."
"If he doesn't fight, can I really kill him?"
"Moreover, now that the war is underway, a conflict with him will only cause more changes in the already chaotic situation."
"If he rebels, how will I explain it to Marquis Wu?"
Zhang Xiu patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "Where is he? I'll go see him!"
Zhao Yun advised: "No need, senior brother, with or without him -"
Zhang Xiu said: "Don't worry, I won't conflict with him. We both worked under Dong Zhuo in the past, so we can be considered old friends."
"Moreover, tomorrow we have a thousand cavalrymen to fight against 6,000 enemy troops. We cannot let the enemy see the true identity of our thousand cavalrymen."
"I need General Pengcheng to take the lead and confuse the enemy."
"Showing the enemy weakness will increase our chances of victory."
Zhao Yun then said: "Okay, Senior Brother, come with me!"
Zhao Yun asked Chen Jiao and others to continue to pay attention to the enemy troops outside the city, while he took Zhang Xiu to a corner in Pengcheng.
In this corner, Lu Bu and his nearly a thousand soldiers were stationed.
At this time, Lu Bu was drinking wine in a private residence with a sad look on his face.
Thinking that he was also a Xuzhou Mu at the beginning, leading thousands of people including Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to kill Yuan Shu's 100,000-strong army, crying for his father and mother.
Who knows, now I can only be reduced to being a small Tancheng County Magistrate!
In this case, don't blame yourself for abandoning the city and running away!
But, having said that, where else can I go now?
Not to mention, his daughter became Wu Hou's concubine.
His wife and concubines are all hostages in Guangling.
If I really leave, my daughter may not know how much humiliation she will face in the future!
The wives and concubines who were held hostage in Guangling may even die.
In fact, he can still accept it if he really dies.
They were afraid that people like Jiangdong would spread their anger on weak women like them and force them to go to the military camp.
Thinking of the scene of them being tortured by countless soldiers, Lu Bu's body was trembling slightly.
At this moment, a soldier came in quickly and said: "General, the Cavalry Captain is here with his men!"
Lu Bu looked at the soldiers with drunken eyes and sneered: "I'm here now, what are you afraid of? Even if the Marquis of Wu comes, what can he do to me? I'm his father-in-law!"
Soldier:"."
Seeing that Lu Bu was completely unprepared to deal with it, the soldier retreated quietly even though his face was full of worry.
After a while, Zhao Yun came in with Zhang Xiu.
The two brothers looked at each other.
Zhao Yun looked helpless.
Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Leave it to me."
Seeing that Lu Bu was still drinking, Zhang Xiu stepped forward and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the famous flying general in the past would degenerate to this level now!"
When he came to Lu Bu's side, Zhang Xiu snatched the wine cup from his hand.
Lu Bu was furious and was about to pull out the sword from his waist.
Suddenly, he saw Zhang Xiu's face and was startled: "Zhang Ji's nephew? An old friend?"
Zhang Xiu threw the wine cup on the ground, clasped his fists towards Lu Bu and said, "Wuwei Zhang Xiu, flying general, it's been a long time!"
Lu Bu said with a sigh on his face: "I heard that your uncle is dead? It's not easy for you in Wancheng now."
Zhang Xiu said: "My uncle has been dead for many years. When he went south to attack Hucheng, he was shot by Liu Chuan. However, I am not in Wancheng now, and I am living well. The flying general and I are now serving under Wu Hou. , this time I was ordered to assist Xuzhou!"
Lu Bu laughed at himself: "Serving under the Marquis of Wu? What's there to be excited about!"
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "Captain Qi told me just now that Wu Hou is frustrated now because Wen Chou unexpectedly attacked Langya County and the flying general abandoned the city and fled?"
Lu Bu glared at Zhao Yun with disgust.
This Zhao Yun is his nemesis!
The first time I met him, I thought that I had two generals all to myself, so I would not be defeated and could escape.
It was all because of him that he was captured alive and lost in Xuzhou.
Now, he's embarrassing himself again!
Seeing Lu Bu's expression, Zhang Xiu continued to say to Lu Bu: "Flying General, I heard that your daughter has married Wu Hou? Then how can Wu Hou really punish you? Moreover, I have a battle here, which can make you fly general Regain your prestige. How about it, Flying General, would you like to give me a try?"
Lu Bu waved his hand and said: "The soldiers of Xuzhou cannot resist the attack of Yuan Shao's army!"
Zhang Xiu pointed at himself and said, "I have made a declaration of war with General Wen Chou of Yuan Shao. I will challenge their 6,000 cavalry army with a thousand cavalry outside the city tomorrow morning."
"My cavalry, plus the flying general's cavalry!"
"Flying General, don't you want to try?"
"Flying General, are you afraid?"
"If you really don't want to go, that's okay. All of my mighty men are first-class warriors."
"The flying general doesn't dare to go, but it's okay to see my mighty man perform military exploits and gain courage."
Lu Bu glared at Zhang Xiu and said, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Xiu said with an innocent face: "I didn't say much! I just think that the flying general was so brave back then that all the princes in the world were not afraid of him when he saw it? Now the flying general is afraid. As an old friend, I, Zhang Xiu, and the mighty men under my tent, I am willing to use my military exploits to set an example for the flying general."
Lu Bu suddenly pulled out his sword and struck the table with one strike, cutting the table into two pieces.
The drinks on the table were spilled on the floor.
Lu Bu said with a gloomy face: "Zhang Xiu, please stop irritating me! It's not like I haven't seen your uncle before when he was alive, but he was just a little bit. Do I need you to set an example for me?"
"Challenge Yuan Jun's cavalry tomorrow? Do you want me to take action? But although I have a thousand soldiers, I only have a hundred cavalry to follow me and fight all the way. The others are all new soldiers and have no strength to fight."
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "We only need the flying general and your one hundred cavalry! For the rest, I, the mighty man, can just dispatch it!"
Lu Bu snorted, walked into the back room, and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the city wall to meet you."
Zhang Xiu said to Zhao Yun: "Okay! With him and his one hundred cavalry, you can find a few generals who are good at riding and shooting, and a dozen cavalry. When the time comes, let them stand at the front."
"While fighting, these generals led a group of warriors to pretend to attack the front, attracting the attention of the enemy's main cavalry."
"The flying general and I rushed out from the flank and looked for an opportunity to attack and kill Wen Chou himself."
"The number is six times different, so we can only kill the enemy commander first."
Stretching out his hand and putting it on Zhao Yun's shoulder, Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Although you are the coach, little junior brother, do you have the guts to charge with me tomorrow? I want to see the disciples taught by the master. , what kind of heroic appearance will it have?"
