Yu Yue's face changed slightly. He understood the meaning of this sentence. Liu Yu had also said this before he destroyed Wang Yuman's family. Liu Daogui said such harsh words at this time, and he obviously wanted to take his own life. It can be heard from Zhu Chaoshi's casual words just now that they have a tacit understanding of where their military rations and equipment come from, and what intelligence they have relied on to support them in Jiangzhou in the past six months. If they really want to take this If you make a fuss and find out the relationship between yourself and Liu Tingyun, you will really be unable to defend yourself.
Thinking of this, Yu Yue put on a smile and said: "Since Zhengxi has now taken charge of the military of the four states, he is my commander-in-chief, and I can only obey his orders. Please don't misunderstand, General Xiao Zhu. In fact, I am just leading the army." I have been with these brothers for a while, and am more familiar with them. I thought it would be smoother for me to take command, so I mentioned it casually."
Zhu Chaoshi said coldly: "There is no need to bother Mr. Yu. There are naturally military rules in the army. Zhu is confident to lead them. As for the subsequent battles, I will carry out the instructions of Zhengxi. You can now Take Mr. Yu and these women back to Jiangling, and I will send a hundred sergeants to escort you away."
Yu Yue sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Then I wish General Zhu a successful start."
As he spoke, he turned around and left, followed by several officers. Zhu Chaoshi looked at him leaving in the boat with a look of disdain on his lips. At the same time, Guo Yanzhi followed him and said, "Brother Xiaoshi, you Just let him go like that? Don’t you want to find out who he relied on for intelligence and news in Jiangzhou?”
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "Brother Daogui said that peace is the most important thing now and don't let anything happen. After the war, there will naturally be people who will find out about these things. We are not in a hurry. Now we have to do What we need to do is seize the time to combine the two armies, and then lure Yingjiu to come over. More importantly, we must find out whether there is an enemy army lurking behind Yingjiu."
To Yanzhi said seriously: "From yesterday to now, more than ten groups of capable scouts have been sent out, and the matter you instructed to contact the old department to inquire about the demon thieves is also in progress. At least for now, Yingjiu is within a hundred miles of the headquarters. , no large enemy troops were found.”
Zhu Chaoshi frowned: "Does this Yingjiu really dare to march in with thousands of soldiers and horses? Isn't he afraid of being ambushed and destroyed by us?"
Yanzhi laughed: "Brother Xiaoshi, actually this is not difficult to understand. Yingjiu is Lu Xun's disciple, not Xu Daofu's. In the battle of Jiankang, Xu Daofu's command failed, and now he wants to come back and get through to At the Changsha passage, Lu Xun just gave Ying Jiu an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. They thought that Yu Yue was a soft persimmon and as long as the troops were fierce, Yu Yue would escape on his own. However, they did not expect that Yu Yue would actually do it. Called us for help and we responded so quickly!”
Zhu Chaoshi sighed softly: "Based on my understanding of demon thieves, this matter will not be that simple. By the way, what about the waterway? Is there a fleet of demon thieves on the waterway?"
Yanzhi shook his head: "No, the demon thief's fleet is all on the line from Liyang to Xunyang, and there is no fleet behind Yingjiu. At this time, their fleet should be cut off to prevent Brother Jinu's pursuit. Yes, you shouldn’t dare to chase him here.”
Zhu Chaoshi said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless. Monster thieves are always cunning and full of tricks. At this time, Lu Zongzhi's Yongzhou troops are not here. What I'm afraid of is not that the monster thieves will come to attack Yu Yue's troops. What I'm afraid of is that Jingzhou currently has insufficient troops. Jiangling is empty, just in case..."
At this point, his brows knitted together and his expression became serious.
The smile on Yanzhi's face disappeared and he licked his lips: "How about we take this army back to Jiangling first and ignore Yingjiu?"
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "No, let's eat Yingjiu first. If the enemy has any back-up moves, they will always use them when we attack Yingjiu. This will also protect Jiangling and Brother Daogui. We are in danger. Then they will be safe. With my general's orders, the two armies quickly moved into the mountains and forests south of Yuzhou, ready to ambush Yingjiu at any time. They sent a small group of troops to march towards Nankang with great fanfare, making it look like Yu's troops were fleeing south in panic. .”
Yanzhi nodded: "Understood, I will make arrangements right now. This Yu family camp must also make a hasty evacuation, right?"
Zhu Chaoshi smiled and said: "Yes, Yanzhi, do you feel that you have returned to the time when we were in Shouchun City, when we just met and fought under the command of Brother Jinu?"
Yanzhi said excitedly: "Yes, now that Brother Jinu is away, it is time for us to show our talents and take charge of our own business. This time, we will never let them down."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's work together. Let's kill Yingjiu first. Next, I hope to fight Xu Daofu. I want to avenge Brother Wuji!"
The two looked at each other and nodded, and finally walked away hand in hand. However, their eyes did not notice that there was an undercurrent flowing backward under the river in front of them. If they were underwater at this time, they could also send some water ghost fishermen. , you will suddenly realize that a large underwater shadow is walking close to the bottom of the river. It is so large that there are as many as three or four hundred, and this is the real main force of Tianshi Dao's attack. Zhu Chaoshi even thought about it in his dream Xu Daofu, who was about to be killed, was on the leading Qianlong warship.
At this moment, Xu Daofu was not wearing a helmet, and his bald forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He said nothing, looking straight at the scout in front of him who was covered in water and dripping wet, and said : "Are you really sure that Zhu Chaoshi came to join forces with Yu Yue?"
The scout said in a deep voice: "It's absolutely true. They are above Sangluo State now. Deputy leader, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can surface now and kill them directly. The Jin army has lost its command." , there is no leader, and the army in the camp on the shore will definitely collapse without attacking."
Xu Daofu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the dozen or so senior generals around him all said in unison: "Deputy leader, fight, fight."
Xu Daofu stopped, his narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he shook his head: "No, we can't fight, just let this kid Zhu Chaoshi live a few more days."
A trace of disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes, and a leader named Xu Peizu said bitterly: "Why don't you fight? Is it because the deputy leader does not have the confidence to completely destroy the Jin army? I am willing to be a vanguard." (End of this chapter)
