Yuan Shao's army commanded his tent.
Yuan Tan returned with Zhou Yu, Yan Liang and other generals.
The entire handsome tent was filled with lifelessness at the moment.
In the battle to attack the city just now, they actually had a disadvantage, which made all the generals a little frustrated.
Yuan Tan looked at Zhou Yu with some worry, opened his mouth and said silently: "What should we do now?"
Now defeated.
In addition, the camp was robbed by hundreds of Jiangdong defenders.
Yuan Tan was worried that he would no longer have the morale to fight against the enemy.
If this was the case, then if the southern expedition to Xuzhou failed, he couldn't imagine how he would go back and face his father.
Because my father is also preparing to go south to Xudu this time!
Now, if I can't take over this place first, I definitely don't want to think about the position of heir apparent.
Zhou Yu nodded to Yuan Tan, smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists."
"Besides, we were not defeated today."
"The reason why the eldest son asked everyone to withdraw is because he didn't want to lose so many soldiers."
"Wait a few days until we figure out how to deal with that weird chariot. Next time we attack the city, we will get twice the result with half the effort!"
"They're just a bunch of losers!" A loud shout rang out.
Yan Liang stood up angrily, pointed at Zhou Yu with his right index finger, and said with a sinister look on his face: "Why is a young man so promising? Why is he wise enough to rule the world? Zhou Yu, my lord has misjudged you!"
"In my opinion, you are just a coward!"
"Just now, when the defenders rushed out of the city, why didn't they let the cavalry charge?"
"I have ten thousand cavalry, but I can only stand aside and watch the fun?"
Zhou Yu explained patiently: "General Yan, I know that you are proficient in cavalry and archery, and you are also good at commanding cavalry. However, the chariot just now seems to be specially designed to restrain cavalry."
"Every cavalryman is the treasure among my treasures in Hebei."
"It is also the blade of my Hebei army."
"A good blade must be used for good purposes."
"It is true that I asked General Yan to charge today. I believe that with General Yan's rich combat experience, he will be able to defeat the enemy's weird tank."
"But if I have to pay a heavy price for this, even if it means a small loss of soldiers, I am not willing to do it."
Yan Liang roared: "Then just sit back and watch the enemy show off his power?"
"I heard just now that a few days ago, you guys were killed by hundreds of enemy cavalry and entered the camp, and then fled away?"
Yan Liang sneered and said: "That's great!"
"I, the Hebei warrior, have lost all my face by you!"
Looking at Yuan Tan, Yan Liang clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, the ugly words are ahead."
"I'll give you three days."
"After three days, if Zhou Yu can't come up with a plan to attack the city, let him get out!"
"It's not like I, Yan Liang, can't lead troops in battles in the north and south!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, the other soldiers lowered their heads and sighed.
Yuan Tan looked at Zhou Yu and saw that Zhou Yu's face was a little ugly, fearing that he would be angry.
After all, the veteran doctor emphasized again and again that Zhou Yu's injury was very dangerous. Before he was completely recovered, he should not be overjoyed or sad, but should keep his mood calm.
Yuan Tan hurriedly said: "I'm here today. Let's go back and think about it!"
All the generals left one after another as if they were receiving a general amnesty.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was also ready to leave.
Yuan Tan supported him and said as he walked: "Gong Jin, don't be angry. I know you can do it."
"In the past few times, if I had listened to your words, General Wen Chou would not have died."
"Also, General Yan Liang and General Wen Chou are as close as brothers, so he has such a bad temper."
"He was just anxious to avenge General Wen Chou, so he was outspoken and heartfelt. However, he definitely didn't mean to target you intentionally."
"Look at me, he actually scolded me, but he was concerned about my identity after all, so he scolded me by pointing fingers at you."
"In short, in one sentence, he is not dissatisfied with you, but with me, the eldest son."
"I once led the army to defeat Kong Rong in Beihai and captured Qingzhou. I thought I could do it."
"This time when I met the Jiangdong defenders, I discovered that my ability is actually very average."
"If Gong Jin hadn't been by my side, I don't know how many defeats I would have experienced this time."
Zhou Yu was in a bad mood.
At this moment, hearing what Yuan Tan said, Zhou Yu laughed out loud and said: "Young Master, he who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise."
"The eldest son may not be outstanding in commanding troops in combat, but he is already a very wise man if he is aware of his own problems."
"If the eldest son can become the crown prince in the future, I believe that the eldest son may be able to achieve the goal of unifying the world."
“Never feel inferior.”
"As for what happened today, although I am very uncomfortable, it is not unacceptable."
"In any case, we should not fight like this even though we have the advantage in numbers and arms."
"Later, eldest son, please go to General Yan Liang to comfort him."
"Admiral, you always have a temper."
"Young Master, there is no need to take it to heart."
"As a superior, the eldest son must understand that being tolerant is the most important thing."
"Yan Liang is a general and the silent leader of all generals."
"If he is so irritable, unable to calm down, and eager for success, the entire army will be affected."
"Tell General Yan Liang that as long as there are still 10,000 cavalry, we will always have the upper hand against the Jiangdong garrison."
"Now is the time to test your patience."
"In the past, Emperor Gaozu faced the overlord of Chu and was defeated repeatedly. It took him three years to finally win in one battle and conquer the world."
"Now that we are facing so many defenders in Jiangdong, if we want to win in one battle, it is tantamount to wishful thinking."
"By the way, I also told him that as long as he has patience and obeys the command, after taking Xuzhou in the future, I will personally let him kill Zhao Yun and avenge General Wen Chou."
Yuan Tan smiled and said: "Gong Jin, getting along with you is like drinking fine wine. If everyone could be like you, talented, wise, and considerate, why would the world be worried?"
After sending Zhou Yu to the door of the camp, Yuan Tan said goodbye: "Then you have a good rest, don't be impatient, and take your time! Although General Yan Liang said he would only give you three days, I can bear the burden for you."
Zhou Yu hummed and nodded.
Yuan Tan then left quickly to find Yan Liang.
Zhou Yu opened the curtain and entered the camp alone.
The old medical worker came in with medicine soup and said: "Change the medicine, sir."
Zhou Yu took off his clothes and exposed his upper body.
The old medical worker removed the medicinal materials from the neck.
Zhou Yu hissed.
The old medical worker said softly: "There is some pain, please bear with me, sir."
With that said, he carefully applied the freshly brewed medicinal soup to Zhou Yu's wound.
Zhou Yu suddenly choked up.
Old medical worker: "."
Zhou Yu raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "If my father or Bo Fu were here, I would have someone to talk to."
"Now, looking at the tens of thousands of people in the army, who knows my heart?"
"The pain of the wound, what is it compared to these?"
The old medical worker was about to reply.
Suddenly, he saw blood pouring out of the wound, and hurriedly said: "Sir, the wound has cracked again. You need to calm down! Nothing is as important as healing the wound now!"
Zhou Yu suppressed his sadness, nodded, took a few deep breaths and said, "I understand, please, sir."
While cleaning the wound, the old medical worker comforted him: "Young master, a young hero, encountered some hardships, what does it matter? Compared with other people, you are a master."
"I think that when my young master was this age, he didn't understand anything."
"Besides, the young master is smart and handsome, and he can definitely think of ways to defeat the enemy."
Zhou Yu then laughed and said, "I hope it's as the old gentleman said."
The old medical worker treated the wound and said to Zhou Yu: "Remember, young master, don't be overjoyed or sad. Life is long and long. Everything is fleeting. Living in the present is the best thing."
Zhou Yu said: "After chatting with the old gentleman for a while, I feel much better. Thank you, old gentleman."
The old medical worker hummed and left with the medicine basin.
Zhou Yu lay down carefully, looked up at the top of the tent, and closed his eyes quietly.
After a while, he fell asleep.
He dreamed of his father Zhou Yi.
He dreamed of Sun Ce.
He dreamed that he was back in Shu County, playing chess and chatting with his father Zhou Yi.
He dreamed that he was back in Qu'a, competing with Sun Ce, and riding his horse to whistle the west wind with Sun Ce.
"Young Master? Young Master?" Just as Zhou Yi and Sun Ce looked at each other and smiled, calls woke him up.
Zhou Yu opened his eyes.
Tears have wet the sheets.
Zhou Yu hurriedly wiped the tears on his face with both hands.
The old medical worker stood beside the bed and looked at him with some distress.
Zhou Yu wiped away his tears and forced a smile: "What's wrong?"
The old doctor said: "There is a soldier outside who wants to see you, and he looks a little panicked."
Zhou Yu stood up doubtfully and walked out with the help of the old medical worker.
Outside the camp, several personal guards arranged by Yuan Tan surrounded a soldier with a long gun on his neck.
The soldier held a package in his arms.
Seeing Zhou Yu coming out, several personal guards released some of the spears on the soldiers' necks, allowing the soldiers to turn around.
Zhou Yu asked the soldier: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
The soldier handed the package in his arms forward and said: "I came from Jiangdong, and on the order of the old master's old friend, I specially sent a token."
Zhou Yu: ".Jiangdong?"
The soldier hummed and said to Zhou Yu: "Master, before I set off, my old friend told me that this token can only be opened by the Master in private."
The captain of the personal guard said hurriedly: "Strength advisor, be careful, I will open it!"
The soldier smiled miserably and said: "Since you suspect my intentions, I can only use this life to prove it."
After saying that, he suddenly moved forward.
His neck got stuck directly into the depth of the spear blade.
Blood spurted from the soldier's neck.
The soldier fell limply.
Several personal guards were stunned.
They really didn't expect that this soldier would be so decisive!
Seeing that the soldier was dead, Zhou Yu frowned slightly, then stepped forward and took the package from his arms.
The touch feels like something like a sword.
Zhou Yu looked at the guard captain and said, "Please give this soldier a good burial."
The guard captain responded hurriedly and called two guards to carry away the soldier's body.
Zhou Yu entered the camp with the help of an old medical worker.
When he came to the counter, he knelt down and placed the package on the counter.
Seeing this, the old medical worker withdrew wisely.
Zhou Yu looked at the package, a little confused and a little excited.
What’s puzzling is, does Jiang Dong still have any of his old friends?
The Sun family has been destroyed.
It is said that Sun Quan and Bo Fu's children were taken into the Lu family and put under disguised confinement.
There is no one else.
What was exciting was that no matter what the gift was, at least it was from Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu took a few deep breaths before calming down and opening the package.
Inside lay a page of paper filled with writing and a sword.
