The reason why Liu Yu ruthlessly killed the entire Orion family was to hide his whereabouts.
However, due to the arrival of this small group of Jin troops, he was too late to clean up the bodies of the Orion family. After the small group of Jin troops discovered what was going on there, his whereabouts were naturally exposed.
After all, once these situations are reflected to the top brass of the Jin Army, they will naturally focus their attention here.
Of course, in the end, as Liu Yu expected, the matter here was quickly reported to Yue Fei.
Although human life is like a piece of grass in troubled times, the death of a few people is nothing at all. In this world, no one knows how many people die every day.
However, during this special period when they were tracking down Liu Yu, something like this happened, and it was hard not to connect it with Liu Bei.
……………………
"I didn't expect that Liu Yu would be in the east!" Zhang Liang said unexpectedly when the news came.
Yue Fei and Zhang Liang had naturally made some preparations before attacking the city to prevent any important person from escaping. At that time, Zhang Liang made preparations on the road to the south and west.
From the fact that Liu Yu sent people to send Liu Yilong and Liu Yigong to Yizhou, Zhu Yuanzhang could see that Liu Yu was likely to go to the land of Bashu next, and Zhang Liang could naturally make similar speculations.
Therefore, Zhang Liang had already suggested to Yue Fei to ambush his troops on the southern road. At the same time, he wrote another letter asking Wu Qi, who was just to the west, to block the main road to Bashu.
In fact, Zhang Liang had even guessed that Liu Yu had already thought that their Jin army would lay corresponding ambushes in the west and south, so Liu Yu chose other roads to go to Nanjun.
After all, there is more than one road from Jingzhou to the land of Bashu. In addition to the Yangtze River, there are also roads from Nanyang to Hanzhong.
However, the area heading north to Nanyang is now all under the control of the Jin army, and it is not necessarily impossible for Liu Yu to go in the opposite direction and choose to start from this path.
Zhang Liang had also considered this, and asked Li Si in Xiangyang and Xie An in Nanyang to jointly lay out a large net, waiting for Liu Yu to fall into the trap himself.
However, Zhang Liang never thought that he would underestimate Liu Yu in the end. Liu Yu did not go to these roads at all, and did not even choose to take any road that could lead to the land of Bashu. Instead, he went all the way east.
According to Zhang Liang's speculation, Liu Yu had made up his mind that if he went to Bashu, he would not be able to pass through the Jin army's blockade, so he wanted to go to other princes' areas first to avoid the limelight for the time being. Calculate later.
For example, if Liu Yuzhen was just pretending to be a refugee, if he really got into the areas of other princes, those princes might not be able to detect such a great god in their own territory.
At that time, as long as Liu Yuxian lies dormant for such a period of time and things calm down, it will be much more convenient to travel to Bashu or other areas.
Fortunately, it can only be said that due to fate, some of their actions related to Liu Yu were carried out in secret, and the other generals, large and small, were not aware of it.
Therefore, after the city was broken, those who searched for Liu Yu everywhere had their own directions, so that Liu Yu had to find a forest to hide for a while.
And within this period of time, no problem was found due to the several directions that had been prepared. Therefore, while making the original preparations, Yue Fei also sent people to search in other directions, and only then found traces of Liu Yu again.
As for why Zhang Liang was sure that the person must be Liu Yu, since enough evidence had been found.
When the news of the murder of the Orion family was reported, it inevitably attracted the attention of the Jin army's top brass. Therefore, manpower was immediately deployed to cordon off the surrounding area and explore the surrounding areas.
And nothing can withstand investigation. During the open and dark inspections by the soldiers and the floating house, enough evidence was discovered in less than half a day.
Not only were the bodies of the guards recovered from the river, but traces of someone's stay were also found in a mountain forest.
Just relying on these things was enough for Zhang Liang to be sure that the person was Liu Yu.
"Don't worry, military advisor. Since this person has appeared, there is no possibility of him escaping again!" Yue Fei said.
When the bodies of the Orion family were first discovered, the first person to receive the news was Tan Daoji nearby. At that time, although it was not confirmed that the person was Liu Yu, Tan Daoji still decisively sent troops to seal off all the surrounding areas.
After that, after Yue Fei confirmed that the person was Liu Yu through a series of things he found, more troops were dispatched.
Therefore, Liu Yu must still be hiding in some potential corner at this time. And what Yue Fei has to do next is to dig Liu Yu out of that corner.
"Grand Governor, now that three more counties have surrendered to the city, the next step for our army should be Jiangling!" Letting Liu Yu go for the time being, Zhang Liang began to discuss other matters.
After all, Liu Yu's matter has come to an end, and even if he can escape, he can't change anything with his own strength. At this time, Zhang Liang was more concerned about the next step of the war.
Zhang Liang had previously suggested that Yue Fei hand over all the prisoners of war obtained this time to Chang Yuchun for centralized disposal. The specific method of handling this is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. Let the remaining generals of the Chu army, large and small, take a look at the fate of these stubborn resisters.
Sure enough, no matter what you do, it will still be effective. Not everyone in this world is not afraid of death. There are only a few people who are not afraid of death, or even a very small number of people.
No, when the Jin army set a benchmark and showed the bloody fate of those who resisted, there were still many heroes. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. In just a few days, three heroes have emerged.
According to Zhang Liang's estimation, even if the remaining county magistrates or generals in the county did not make an immediate decision like the three above, they were definitely in a state of great uncertainty at this time.
As long as they work harder in the future and deal with many of them, it will be enough to defeat others without fighting.
