Lujiang County, Wan County.
The temporary residence of King Liu Zhang of Qin.
Liu Zhang, who was originally enjoying the joy of annihilating Sun Quan, was furious because of a piece of news.
"What! How dare you not surrender!"
The soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to offend Liu Zhang.
But this was the case, and I had to confirm it with Liu Zhang again.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, these two men are resolute and would rather die than surrender. Not only did they kill our envoys, but they also made arrogant words and vowed to live and die with Guangling!"
"Be bold!"
Liu Zhang shouted loudly, his anger overflowing.
Now that things have happened, there are still people who dare to do this. I am really tired of living!
"Even the master has surrendered, but Guangling dares to be so rampant. It seems that Gu is too kind to them!"
After learning that Sun Quan had surrendered, Liu Zhang immediately sent envoys to Shouchun and Guangling to persuade him to surrender.
As a result, there was no news from Shouchun, who was nearby, and Guangling, who was far away, received news of the beheaded envoy.
Since ancient times, it has been a rule for two armies not to kill each other when fighting. No matter how vicious and vicious, no one breaks it.
Once the messenger is killed, any possibility of communication is lost.
It's equivalent to forcing yourself into a dead end!
Cheng Pu and Han Dang, who were stationed in Guangling, were not fools and it was impossible not to understand this.
Then there is only one reason, to challenge the majesty of Qin Wang Liu Zhang!
Even Cao Cao didn't dare to do this, so Sun Quan had no choice but to surrender.
Even though Zhou Yu was unwilling to surrender, he held back and did not dare to reply, never daring to show any disrespect.
Who do Cheng Pu and Han Dang think they dare to do this?
For the Qin army, the small Guangling was really a snap!
"King Qin, do you need to urgently order the troops to return?"
The soldier asked anxiously.
Although Guangling is weak, there are not many troops in Lujiang at the moment.
Furthermore, if you want to send troops to Guangling, you must first face Zhou Yu from Jiujiang County.
If you ignore Zhou Yu, you risk being cut off from your return.
Therefore, it is easy to equalize Guangling, but it is definitely not something that can be easily won by a single army.
Liu Zhang thought for a while and shook his head slightly.
"No need, it's already very hard for all the armies to be equal to Jiangdong. It's just Guangling, no problem! Just let them dance around for a few days."
"The King of Qin is benevolent!"
The soldier quickly praised him.
Liu Zhang's expression softened a lot and he nodded slightly.
"Go ahead and pay close attention to Shouchun Zhou Yu's movements."
"As you command!"
The soldiers walked away.
At this moment, a figure walked into the house.
"Bo Yan, you're here!"
It was Lu Xun.
Originally, Lu Xun was monitoring the movements of the Wuxi barbarians in Wuling, and it was Lujiang who was personally recruited by Liu Zhang.
"Meet the King of Qin!"
"Bo Yan, no need to be polite, sit down."
"Thank you, King Qin!"
After seeing Lu Xun, Liu Zhang was in a much better mood, and the previous annoyance had almost disappeared.
However, Lu Xun had a unique vision, and he noticed something strange about Liu Zhang from the moment he entered the room.
Even if Liu Zhang didn't say anything, Lu Xun would take the initiative to ask questions.
"Prince Qin, what troubles have you encountered?"
Liu Zhang chuckled a few times.
I didn't want to mention the Guangling incident, but since Lu Xun asked, I simply talked about it.
"Didn't Sun Quan surrender? Gujiu sent people to recruit Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu to surrender. Guess what?"
Lu Xun chuckled.
"Haha, it seems that Cheng Pun would rather die than surrender!"
"good!"
Liu Zhang was not surprised that Lu Xun had a unique vision.
After so many years in Jiangdong, Lu Xun's judgment on Sun Quan's generals must have been very accurate.
"Bo Yan, I am going to personally lead the army to Guangling to conquer."
"Cheng Pu, isn't Han Dang refusing to surrender? I won't even give them the chance to surrender again!"
"King Qin, please calm down for now."
Liu Zhang was a little surprised by Lu Xun's dissuasion.
I saw Lu Xun continue to say,
"The small Guangling can be destroyed with a snap of a finger. No matter which general under King Qin goes, he can easily break the city!"
"However, King Qin must not underestimate Zhou Yu who is entrenched in Huainan."
"Zhou Lang..."
Liu Zhang murmured and nodded with some recognition.
"Zhou Yu is indeed powerful, but the last defeat also left him injured."
"Now, if Gu doesn't go looking for trouble with him, Zhou Yu will have to thank God, right?"
Lu Xun shook his head, with some different opinions.
"King Qin, the Huainan Army's last defeat was indeed very damaging, but it did not shake the foundation."
"Today, Zhou Yu still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, as well as countless money and food. We must not underestimate the enemy!"
"Guangling is just a minor illness. If you ignore it, it won't become a problem. It's better to get rid of Zhou Yu's stubborn illness first. After the stubborn illness is removed, the minor illness will be cured naturally!"
Liu Zhang touched his chin, thinking deeply in his mind.
Eliminating Zhou Yu is not as simple as eliminating Cheng Pu.
With tens of thousands of troops entrenched in the city, it is definitely not easy to defeat.
It can be said that from beginning to end, Liu Zhang did not want to solve the Huainan issue by force.
"Bo Yan, I have sent an envoy to Shouchun. It would be great if we can recruit Zhou Yu to surrender."
"Prince Qin, it's better to stop thinking about this."
Lu Xun quickly refuted Liu Zhang's idea.
"Zhou Yu, a great man in the world, how could he betray his master and stand on his own feet before surrendering to others?"
"The envoy was detained and did not return. It was entirely because Zhou Yu was sure that Cheng Pu would do something drastic and wanted the King of Qin to point the conflict at Guangling so that he could benefit from it."
"Jiangdong was pacified and Sun Quan surrendered. Even if he is the King of Qin, he will inevitably be arrogant. Zhou Yu is just waiting for the King of Qin to show his flaws! The King of Qin must not be careless."
"hiss..."
Liu Zhang took a breath of cold air.
After being reminded by Lu Xun, he suddenly realized.
After receiving the news that Sun Quan had surrendered, Liu Zhang was indeed a little confused.
Dominated in the southeast, Bashu, Jingxiang, and northwest, their power was so strong that even Cao Cao was afraid.
An equal world is just around the corner.
How could someone so tyrannical put little Zhou Yu in his eyes?
In Liu Zhang's mind, Zhou Yu was already hiding in the city and trembling in fear instead of looking for him.
The Art of War says that arrogant soldiers will be defeated!
If you send troops to conquer with this idea, you can imagine the consequences!
Even if you don't experience a disastrous defeat, you will definitely suffer a lot.
"Thank you Boyan for reminding me, otherwise I would be really careless!"
Lu Xun quickly bowed his hands.
"The King of Qin said something serious, please forgive me for the crime of disrespect."
Liu Zhang raised his hand to help Lu Xun up.
"Bo's words are serious!"
"Zhou Yu is a hero in Huainan, and Boyan is a leader in Jiangdong. Both of you have the talent to lead."
"I wonder if Boyan would like to personally organize a powerful force to go to Huainan to compete with Zhou Yu?"
When Lu Xun heard this, his eyes suddenly became hot.
