On the other side of Liyang, there is the Jiangdong Luzhai camp.
It was late at night, and gusts of river wind blew, making people feel bitingly cold.
In the camp, only a few soldiers were patrolling outside, and most of the soldiers returned to their tents to keep warm and rest.
Get ready for a more intense battle tomorrow.
After several days of fighting, it seemed that Jiangdong's army had won a complete victory, but in fact both sides suffered losses.
Due to the shortage of troops, Jiangdong Army did not get effective rest time.
Although not many soldiers died in the battle, there were many injured.
This situation will get worse as time goes by.
If there are no new reinforcements, the countdown to the fall has already begun.
A tall and tall man stood on the bank of the river, looking at the brightly lit Qin Jun water village on the other side of the river with complicated eyes.
This man was Zhu Huan, the general of the army who was appointed by Sun Quan to guard the river bank and resist the Qin army!
"Why..."
A soft sigh, accompanied by waves of water, is perfectly compatible with the night scene.
Zhu Huan had a sad look on his face, without any joy of winning consecutive battles.
As a veteran who has commanded troops for many years, he can see the outcome of the war at a glance.
No matter how stubborn they are now and how hard they deal a blow to the Qin army, they will inevitably be defeated.
Everything is just a matter of time, nothing more.
"Why..."
With another sigh, Zhu Huan gently closed his eyes.
Pitch black!
Just like Jiang Dongjun's future, people can't see a way out.
"Xiumu?"
Hearing someone calling, Zhu Huan quickly opened his eyes and turned around.
"Brother Yuantan!"
Unexpectedly, it was Gu Yong.
A few days ago, Gu Yong returned from the other side, and Zhu Huan was very curious.
However, Gu Yong did not explain, and left the Jiang'an camp after a few words.
Unexpectedly, all these days of hard work have come back again.
"Didn't Brother Yuantan go back to Duke Wu? Why are you back again?"
Gu Yong walked forward with a smile.
"Brother Yu, I heard that Xiumu's maneuvering was so good that the Qin army was unable to advance! I came here to congratulate Xiumu!"
Zhu Huan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Brother Yuantan, isn't this humiliating me?"
"We have won a few small victories in the past few days, but we just relied on occupying favorable terrain!"
Seeing that Zhu Huan was so humble, Gu Yong even joked.
"Why are Xiu Mu and Brother Yu still so outspoken?"
"Xiu Mu is a great talent and is a rare good general in the world!"
Zhu Huan waved his hands repeatedly.
"Brother, please don't do this. My foolish brother will never take this!"
"Hey! To be honest, Brother Yuantan, Brother Yu is worried!"
"I wonder why Xiumu is worried?"
"It's not because of the Qin Army! Brother Yuantan, it's like this..."
Zhu Huan didn't hesitate and told the truth about the current predicament.
First of all, Gu Yong is not an outsider, he is completely one of Zhu Huan's own!
If it is to a certain extent, it is countless times more than kissing Sun Quan!
The fourth surname of Wu County is Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, and they have been friends for hundreds of years!
Secondly, Zhu Huan also expected Gu Yong to give him an idea.
Zhu Huan is really helpless about the difficulties in the future!
"Brother Yuantan is a great talent. He is rich in strategy. Can he teach his foolish brother?"
After Gu Yong was silent for a moment, he shook his head gently.
"Xiu Mu, forgive me. Brother Yu is helpless."
Zhu Huan became even more desperate when he heard this.
Even Gu Yong couldn't help it. What could he, a martial artist, do?
I'm afraid I can only sit back and watch the Qin army break through the river bank!
"Xiu Mu, no one can turn things around in this situation, so don't blame yourself too much."
Zhu Huan nodded, completely accepting Gu Yong's kindness.
"What my brother said is absolutely true. I have no choice but to do my best and obey fate..."
"Xiu Mu, Brother Yu can't save the situation here, but Brother Yu can save Xiu Mu's wealth and life..."
Zhu Huan was full of doubts and did not understand what Gu Yong meant at all.
"Brother, what does this mean? Am I... in danger of my life?"
Gu Yong raised his eyebrows with a serious expression.
"Not only Xiu Mu, but also the Zhu family..."
"If I am not careful, I am afraid that a century-old clan will be destroyed in an instant!"
"What!"
Zhu Huan screamed, shuddered all over, and suddenly woke up.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Children of aristocratic families naturally put their family first.
Cooperating with the warlord who controls his hometown is also to seek the development of his family.
This is the iron rule for the descendants of the family, and Zhu Huan is no exception.
Especially since he was from the Jiangdong family, Zhu Huan's family values were even more important.
The Zhu family is in danger, how dare he ignore it?
"this..."
Gu Yong touched his chin, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Zhu Huan was so anxious that he stamped his feet.
"Brother! When is this? Please tell me quickly!"
But Gu Yong still looked embarrassed.
"this..."
"Brother!"
Zhu Huan looked extremely anxious, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Brother, does it mean that he doesn't recognize me as a brother?"
"of course not!"
Gu Yong denied it and looked at Zhu Huan in embarrassment.
"I just said it out of fear for my dear brother..."
"Brother, you can say whatever you want, but stupid brother will just listen and never make any rebuttal!"
"good!"
Seeing Zhu Huan say this, Gu Yong felt relieved.
"Brother Xiu Mu is not an outsider, so Brother Yu can speak frankly!"
Zhu Huan nodded repeatedly.
"Brother, once you say it, it doesn't matter!"
"My dear brother, do you know the current crisis that Duke Wu is facing, as well as the future situation in Jiangdong?"
"ah?"
Gu Yong stopped Zhu Huan with just one sentence.
It's not that I don't know how to answer, but it's just that it's inconvenient or I don't dare.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that Sun Quan is like a grasshopper after autumn.
I can jump, but I can't jump for a few days.
Liu Zhang is like Sun Quan’s Prince of Hell!
The King of Hell asked him to die at the third watch, who would dare to keep him until the fifth watch?
But Zhu Huan did not dare to say this.
Wu Gongsun Quan was still quite a deterrent to him.
"Why, Xiumu just asked brother to speak frankly, and when he got to the virtuous brother's house, he hid it with the foolish brother?"
"If this is the case, Brother Yu will leave immediately, Brother Xian, just pretend that I have never been here!"
Gu Yong turned around and was about to leave, but Zhu Huan quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"Brother! Brother, calm down!"
Gu Yong ignored it at all and still looked like he was leaving.
"Brother!"
"Brother, I realize my mistake!"
Zhu Huan repeatedly admitted his mistakes, which made Gu Yong'an feel at ease.
"Is my dear brother still hiding him?"
How dare Zhu Huan speak out quickly.
"Brother, I think that Duke Wu might be in trouble this time..."
