The Soochow envoy bit his lips, then bowed, and then left Xiangyang and went back to resume his duties. At this time, Lu Xun was troubled by the large-scale attack by the corpse soldiers. Coupled with the public anger caused by the fire, he fell into an unprecedented depression. Suddenly, a soldier came to report that the envoy had returned, and Lu Xun quickly summoned him.
The messenger conveyed Yu Yi's intention. Lu Xun was very angry after hearing this and said angrily: "Is this an ally? In my opinion, it is worse than an enemy. I will go to Emperor Wu and persuade him to issue an edict to tear up the alliance and attack Western Shu. "
The envoy advised: "No, now the corpse soldiers are attacking in a large scale and we can't stop them. When their power grows, they will also threaten Jiangdong. Besides, a large number of people in Jingzhou have been transformed into corpse soldiers. There is no point in defending the land. It is better to retreat to Jiangdong." , throw this mess to Xishu."
After hearing this, Lu Xun felt that it made sense, so he went to report to Sun Quan, the Emperor of Wu, in person. Sun Quan was very surprised when he heard the news about the corpse soldiers, and asked: "Did we massacre Guan Yu and his son, and they turned into corpse soldiers to take revenge? "
He replied: "The specific reason is unknown. I only know that a female corpse queen suddenly appeared on the border between us and Western Shu. She can spread the corpse poison. Now a large number of people in Jingzhou have been infected and transformed into corpse soldiers. They are attacking the city where our army belongs. Our army has already Retreating to Huarong, we suffered heavy losses."
After hearing this, Sun Quan stood up suddenly and sighed: "If this is the case, then Jiangdong will also be in danger. What should we do?"
Lu Xun bowed and said: "It is said that the female corpse king first led the corpse soldiers to attack Xiangyang, but was successfully repelled by the Shu army, and then turned to attack us. This shows that Xi Shu has a way to restrain the corpse soldiers, so I sent an envoy to find Xi Shu. Shu asked for help, but Emperor Shu requested that we return all land in Jingzhou."
Sun Quan shook his head and said: "We spent a lot of effort to kill Guan Yu and his son, and destroy the 700,000 troops of Xishu, and then we won a large amount of land in Jingzhou. To give it away like this is really a pity for those dead Soochow soldiers. "
Lu Xun persuaded in the words of an envoy: "Now that the corpse soldiers are attacking in large numbers, a large number of people in Jingzhou have been converted. There is no big meaning for us to defend Jingzhou. It is better to dump this mess to Xishu, and still sell a favor, and wait until the time is right. We will attack again and take back Jingzhou."
After hearing this, Sun Quan clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea, let's do it like this!"
After Lu Xun returned, he took Sun Quan's edict and asked the envoy to go to Xiangyang. He stated Soochow's attitude and was willing to return the land in Jingzhou. From now on, Soochow soldiers will return to Jiangdong, but the matter of docking has not been discussed in Soochow. If they are not responsible, Xi Shu will send soldiers to connect them.
After seeing off the envoy, Yu Yi sent people to inquire about the movements of the Soochow soldiers to see if they had all withdrawn from Jingzhou, and then to inquire about the movements of the corpse soldiers to see their next move.
Soon, the soldiers came back to report, saying that the Soochow soldiers had really retreated to the east of the Yangtze River, and the corpse soldiers were attacking across the board east of the Yangtze River. Of course, there was also bad news, that almost all the people in Nanjun and the four counties of Jingzhou were killed. Viral infection.
Yuyi nodded after hearing this and thought about taking over Jingzhou. He was naturally able to analyze Lu Xun's tricks. Lu Xun was planning to wait for Yuyi to eliminate the influence of the corpse poison before sending troops to various towns in Jingzhou. In the early days, when the strength was at its weakest. , conduct a surprise attack.
In fact, the evil forces were behind the scenes. After learning that Yu Yi had removed the corpse poison in Xiangyang, he was very angry and prepared to gather his forces to attack Jingzhou. Later, Sima Yi suggested that the soldiers change their direction and attack Soochow. As long as Soochow was eliminated If the Wei State can capture the land of Soochow, then Xi Shu will have no chance of winning. Against this background, the Female Corpse King led her corpse soldiers to attack Nanjun of Jingzhou. However, things did not develop in the direction they expected. Because Soochow sent envoys and negotiated terms, Xi Shu was finally advantaged.
So Yu Yi divided the Xiangyang City soldiers and horses into several teams. One team was led by himself and went towards the direction of the female corpse king. The other team was led by Huang Shumin and aimed at the four counties of Jingzhou. The third team was led by Xiaoli and aimed at the southern group of Jingzhou. As for Huang Mochou, Yu Yi asked him to stay in Xiangyang to prevent Wei from sending troops from Fancheng to sneak attack the rear.
Before setting off, Yu Yi asked his soldiers to work overnight to produce a large amount of antidote. At the same time, he mobilized the people of Xiangyang City and surrounding areas to set up a temporary rescue agency. He established a multi-level system of first shooting infected people with bows and arrows, and then following up with medical teams to treat them. Team, the people of Jingzhou are grateful for Yu Yi's kindness, and there is no one who does not try their best.
In this way, the duel officially started. Yu Yi set out at midnight and sneaked behind the corpse soldiers. Huang Shumin and Xiaoli cut off the corpse soldiers' contact and divided them into three parts. Through the antidote plan, soon A large number of people in Jingzhou were rescued and many families were saved.
The Female Corpse King was chasing the remaining Soochow soldiers. Suddenly, a group of men and horses came out from behind. The leader was none other than Yu Yi. He was riding a skeleton war horse. He pointed at the Female Corpse King with a square snake halberd in his hand and said: "Kill my brother. I am irreconcilable with you, and I will kill you today!"
The Female Corpse King quickly evolved into a deeper fighting state and joined Yu Yi in battle. At this moment, several warships from the river suddenly arrived, swinging their crossbows and aiming in the direction of Yu Yi and the Female Corpse King. Seeing this, the Shu soldiers waved to the Soochow warships and shouted: "Our new emperor is still in the battle, don't move!"
At this time, a scholar came out of the warship in the middle, holding a sword in his hand, and shouted: "I know that your Emperor of Xishu is dueling with the Female Corpse King. I am just waiting for such an opportunity to catch you all!"
When Yu Yi heard these shameless words, even though he was fighting, he was filled with hatred. It turned out that Lu Xun had set up a plan to lure him over and planned to shoot him and the female corpse king with bows and arrows.
At this moment, the female corpse king suddenly swept forward, Yu Yi took two steps back, and then Sima Yi's words suddenly came out.
Yu Yi swung Fang Tian's snake halberd horizontally, looked around, and shouted: "Old thief Sima, show up quickly!"
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Now Soochow Lu Xun is ready to catch us all in one fell swoop. Instead of fighting to the death, how about we cooperate?"
Yu Yi judged carefully and finally found out the source of the sound. It came from the body of the female corpse king. It turned out that Sima Yi used the female corpse king as a carrier to transmit the sound thousands of miles away.
Yuyi smiled slightly and asked, "How are you going to cooperate?"
Sima Yi said slowly: "Actually, Senior Evil admires your talent very much and has always wanted to win you over. Why don't we attack Soochow together and divide its land equally? Then you will be your emperor of Western Shu and I will be my senior official in Cao Wei. You You don’t have to go back to modern society to suffer, you just have to live in a dream in Hanzhong, have all the beauties in the world at your disposal, enjoy unlimited gold and silver, wouldn’t it be so happy!”
After hearing this, Yu Yi sneered: "Have you ever heard of an idiom? It's called seeking skin from a tiger." After saying this, Fang Tian's painted halberd flashed with cold light and continued to attack the female corpse king.
After hearing this, Sima Yi was furious, withdrew his thoughts, strengthened the power of the female corpse king, and attempted to kill Yu Yi.
