Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2638 Watching a movie between choices (plus more)

  Zhou Yu leaned against the side of the bed, closed his eyes and meditated.

  His complexion is very bad.

  Although he was feigning death, he really vomited blood.

  Golden pill is toxic.

  A small amount of toxicity can treat some diseases, but it does not mean that these toxicity can be successfully eliminated from the body. Once the toxicity starts to accumulate, the medicine originally used to treat the disease may become a ghost of death.

  The golden pill stimulated Zhou Yu's already problematic lungs,

  He didn't want the general Jiangdong Military Academy to know the inside story, and the only person who could discuss it was Lu Su.

  Lu Su sat aside and did not disturb Zhou Yu. The matter has come to this point, and now it is only up to Zhou Yu's decision.

  After a while, Zhou Yu closed his eyes and said softly: "Zijing, if you make the decision, what do you think is better?" 』

"Captain, if the rebel army arrives in Wujun tonight, and we wait until the news arrives before setting off, then they will have nearly a whole night to make trouble in Wujun..." Lu Su frowned and said, "There are not many troops in the city. , but if it can withstand it for a while, I am afraid that someone will join the rebel army and open the city privately...』

   Zhou Yu opened his eyes, "It's too early, and we can only save Wu Jun. Then this Wu County is still the original Wu County. 』

  Lu Su was silent for a while, he knew what Zhou Yu meant, but the risk was really not small, "If we arrive late, if the lord loses..."

  Seeing that Zhou Yu was silent, Lu Su said again, "Even if the governor is worried that the cleaning is not thorough enough, he can send more soldiers to protect the lord, just in case..."

   Zhou Yu whispered, "Zhou Youping has gone. 』

  『But Zhou Youping is still injured...』 Lu Su was still a little worried.

  Zhou Yu seemed to have a helpless smile, "Then who will be sent?" Only when Zhou Youping goes, the lord can rest assured. Besides, if there are too many soldiers on the lord's side, it will definitely make the thief realize that it is a trap...』

  『Captain…』

  The battlefield is like this.

  Intelligence can never be accurate, sometimes close to gambling.

   At this time, the commander-in-chief's decision is needed.

  Zhou Yu talked for a while, "Let the public take over one, and go ahead pretending to be a businessman." Clean up enemy scouts along the way, set up emergency signs at night, and go to Qiushan for rescue when necessary... In addition, order to go down, cook at three o'clock at midnight, start marching at the time of ugly, and send fast horses to Ruxukoushui Village, so that they can be closely monitored If there is any change in the movement of Cao Jun, report it immediately! 』

  Lu Su knew that Zhou Yu had made the final decision, so he didn't say any more, and took the order to leave.

  According to Zhou Yu's speculation, it is impossible for Sun Hao to besiege the city, but to sneak attack.

  Because the banner he himself played was to "put down the chaos",

  And once the siege is used, it means that Sun Hao has no "means" and only force is left.

  For the Jiangdong gentry, they have had enough of being ruled only by force. If Sun Hao really only knew how to use force to acquire Wu County, then these Jiangdong gentry would immediately withdraw from the state of watching the show, copy the guy hidden under the robe, rush forward, and give Sun Hao a full set of services without negotiation.

  Only if Sun Hao is smart enough to show excellent means immediately after arriving in Wu County, and change the banner of the city overnight, the Jiangdong nobles will fall to Sun Hao...

  So, Sun Hao, use your last hole card!

  Wu Jun.

  At the south gate, Sun Zhong sat in front of a small clay stove, warming a pot of wine, pouring some out from time to time, and taking a sip.

  Although Sun Zhong had already received a lot of money from Sun Hao, and Sun Hao had never said anything to him, nor had he promised Sun Hao anything, but he secretly guessed in his heart that this time Sun Hao...

  Sun Zhong had some thoughts that made his hair stand on end.

  And this time, if the lord Sun Quan found out that he had taken Sun Hao's money, even if he did nothing, would he let himself go afterwards?

  But if you really voted for Sun Hao, when the time comes to let Sun Hao progress, in this city...

  Sun Zhong was in such fear and anxiety all day long, thinking about it.

It's not that Sun Zhong has any resentment towards Sun Quan, it's just that he doesn't believe in Sun Quan's ability, especially after Mrs. Wu's death, and after hearing that Zhou Dudu also died of illness, if there is no powerful person in Jiangdong to come forward, how can he Isn't it messed up?

   At that time, if the thieves from the Jiangdong gentry's hometown get two of them together, they might even change the banner on the top of the city to his surname!

  Sun Zhong was worried and a little uneasy about the current situation.

  The torches on the city wall outline the outline of the city, and the lanterns patrolling the city also flicker between houses and streets.

Sun Zhong is very familiar with the situation of this city in Wu County. The circumference of the city is nine miles, the height of the city wall is three feet, the thickness of the wall is two feet, and the outside is completely covered with bricks and stones. The moat outside the city is two feet wide and one foot deep. Rolling stones and woods, strong crossbow forklifts, even if they are not considered a strong city, they can be said to be a strong city. If there is no internal response, no matter how many people Sun Hao brings, he may not be able to quickly defeat Wu County.

  During the day, there seemed to be no movement in Wujun City.

Those who should go to work should go to work, and those who should be on duty, but Sun Zhong knows that these local snakes have their own set of information sources. Among other things, those who are only in Wujun City will be closed to death at night. The dead, and those private soldiers with swords, guns, bows and arrows, oh, there are no private soldiers now, they are all called servants, and they are constantly patrolling as if they are facing a big enemy.

   There are also some people who left Wu County while the city gate was open, presumably to avoid disaster.

  As the night fell, the irritability in his heart gradually increased, as if he had put all his wealth on him, waiting for the opening of the poker table, his heart was beating wildly, restless.

  Sun Zhong drank another glass of wine, and his eyes scanned the west, south, and east gates of Dengzhou City again. If Sun Hao wanted to enter the city, he would definitely not go through the north gate, because the north gate was the most heavily guarded and it was Sun Quan's direct descendant, so he would definitely not let Sun Hao in.

  Many people think that the Three Kingdoms seem to be strategizing far away and winning thousands of miles away, but in fact the real Three Kingdoms are bribery, betrayal, and stabbing. Just like the business war in the novel, it seems to be full of coffee, red wine and champagne, but the business war in reality is like hammer poison and dump trucks.

At the south gate, there are not only the land gate, but also two water gates, the upper water gate and the small water gate. Next to the water gate, there is also a small gate opening for pedestrians, so if the south gate is opened, a large amount of water can be invested immediately. With a large number of troops, the loss of capturing Wu County is naturally the smallest.

  But if Sun Hao really came, what would he do?

   Is a firm resistance, regardless of the previous friendship?

   Or pretend to scratch twice, just a little scruples to get by?

   Or maybe you don’t even need a face at all, anyway, no matter who it is, is it all surnamed Sun?

  While he was contemplating, suddenly a soldier came to report that someone had come to visit. Immediately a strong man went to the gate tower, and he bowed his hands to Sun Zhong, saying, "General Sun, are you all right?" 』

  『I am not a general! 』Sun Zhong snorted coldly. He knew the person who came from a military academy under Sun Hao.

  Sun Hao's military academy still had a smile on his face, "Isn't the promotion of the general just the thing in front of you?" 』

  Sun Zhong was silent for a while, and then said: "You don't have to go around the bush, just say what you have to say." 』

  Sun Hao Military Academy looked around, "Are these people your confidantes?" 』

  Sun Zhong turned his eyes, "They are all my confidants... What do you want to do?" 』

  Sun Hao Military Academy whispered: "My lord asked me to give the general a fortune!" 』

"tell me the story. ’ Sun Zhong said.

  Sun Hao Military Academy said: "We were born and died in Jiangdong before, what happened? General Pingnan's death is unclear, and General Dingwu Zhonglang also has no explanation yet! Look, what have you done these days? This made the old lady **** off, and Jiangdong's hearts were scattered. Is such a lord worthy of assistance? My lord wants to invite the generals to set things right together, restore Jiangdong, and share the wealth! 』

   Sun Zhong stared at the other party, but didn't speak immediately.

  Under Sun Zhong's gaze, Sun Hao Military Academy couldn't help being a little nervous and licked its lips.

  After half a ring, Sun Zhongcai said: "Then what benefits do I have?" Could it be just the false name of such a general? 』

  Sun Hao Military Academy quickly said: "Of course not! My Patriarch has already said that as long as Wu County can be captured, those Jiangdong traitors in the city will be free to pick it up! In addition to the yellow and white goods, my master also said that if you want to give the general a title, the land should be at least a thousand acres! 』

  Sun Zhong's eyes changed slightly, "The fields over there?" 』

  Sun Hao's military academy felt that Liu Zhong seemed to be tempted, but his smile became more and more obvious, "Naturally, it is around Wu County. If the general is optimistic about it by then, it's not out of question if he wants that piece." 』

  In the Sun Hao Military Academy, it is believed that promotion and wealth, titles and farmlands are all in front of you, and you can get them at your fingertips. What is there not to agree to? As long as Sun Zhong nods his head, Sun Hao can immediately advance into the city and grasp the key points. By dawn, he will most likely be able to directly control Wu County, and the great cause can be achieved!

  Sun Zhong lowered his head and quietly remembered that the soldiers in the gate tower knew about it. Seeing Sun Zhong hesitated, they gave each other a wink.

Sun Hao Military Academy didn't notice this change, but just stared at Sun Zhong expectantly. He felt that his words would definitely impress Sun Zhong, but Sun Zhong's current appearance was just out of face, or he wanted to change his face more. Good conditions are all that matters, after all, who wouldn't want such a lot of money, such a high position, and such a large property?

The eloquence of Sun Hao Military Academy is actually mediocre. What he said just now was taught before. Now that he finished speaking, he didn't know what to continue to say for a while. He just stared at Sun Zhong intently, waiting for Sun Zhong to nod. , but didn't notice anything strange around him. When he noticed that someone seemed to be approaching him, he showed some doubts, and then he heard Sun Zhongmeng yell, "Take it down!" 』

  The calm inside the gatehouse was instantly broken!

  Several of Sun Zhong's men rushed forward and pinned Sun Hao Military Academy to the ground.

  Sun Hao Military Academy was crushed by several people, unable to move at all, could only stare at Sun Zhong, and roared: "You! You...Aren't you afraid that you will be settled after the event for taking money from my Patriarch, and lose your head! 』

  『Tie it up! Shut up! ”Sun Zhong said in a deep voice, “Pass down the order and strictly guard against it!” Anyone who dares to open the gate of the city without someone's order, kill him! 』

   Sun Zhong took Sun Hao Military Academy, who was as sleepy as a rice dumpling, to the inner city and found Sun Quan.

  Because of the turmoil and the situation was wrong, Sun Quan did not stay on the mountain, but went to the inner city...

  After all, just because the feng shui is good on the mountain does not mean that the terrain is dangerous. What's more, if a sword is really used and the blood stains the hill, I am afraid that even the best feng shui will have some changes.

  Sun Quan looked at Sun Zhong who bowed his head in prostration, after a moment of silence, he waved his hands and said, "Mr. Sun will never forget your loyalty!" Work hard and you will be rewarded! 』

  Sun Quan was still wearing filial piety clothes and did not wear a crown, but tied his hair with rough linen.

  Sun Zhong **** Sun Hao's military academy and came here, but Sun Quan only had this one sentence, and didn't even say what the reward was.

  Sun Zhong didn't look dissatisfied at all. After kowtowing, he withdrew.

  Zhou Tai, dressed in military uniform, stared at Sun Zhong's figure walking out, and said in silence for a moment: "My lord, do you want...send someone..."

  Sun Quan shook his head. "He's a smart guy..."

   Zhou Tai didn't understand politics, but Sun Quan knew a little bit.

  For Sun Zhong, or most people, the more money, titles and fields, the better. But behind this, the more the better, there is an additional condition that is very critical, that is, can you eat it?

   There are not a few people who are dying on the dining table because they can't eat.

  Are the acres around Wu County so easy to get?

  Sun Ce and Sun Quan couldn't get it done after so long, how dare Sun Hao make such a guarantee?

  So either Sun Hao Military Academy has no brains and talks nonsense, or Sun Hao himself has no brains and thinks that the Jiangdong gentry are weak and can be bullied, and the surrounding fields in Wu County can be taken at will.

  If the answer is the former, then it means that Sun Hao didn't put Sun Zhong in such an important position at all. Maybe he just said it casually, just like the six hundred miles in Zhang Yi's mouth.

If it’s the latter, it’s obvious that no matter how high the headhunter’s salary is, it’s hard to say whether you can get it after jumping out with a no-brainer, and the company may go bankrupt if you owe the contract. Do not jump ship.

  During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ancestors of China said that no matter what kind of person they were or how famous they were, verbal contracts did not count. As a result, so many people were deceived in later generations, so should we say that these deceived people are innocent or just stupid?

   The agreement between Sun Zhong and Sun Hao must be an "oral contract". Now at the critical moment, Sun Zhong has backed out. In other words, it can't be regarded as repentance, it's just that he took Sun Hao's money before, and taking the money to do nothing is at most a minor issue.

  『It seems that we are going to do something tonight...』 Sun Quan said slowly, 『What time is it now? 』

  Zhou Tai turned his head and looked at the hourglass, "There is still about half an hour, and it will be midnight." 』

  Sun Quan nodded. "Soon. Child time, it is a good time. 』

  The children of the Jiangdong gentry are all watching the play. Sun Quan and Sun Hao seem to be standing on a stage now.

  Would anyone be afraid that the opera sung by an actor will be too lively and loud, and they will scare themselves?

No. The people in Jiangdong actually hope that the opera will be bigger and more lively, the better.

  Sun Quan sneered, although the South Gate was a little relieved for the time being, but the city gate that Sun Hao penetrated must not be the only South Gate. And Sun Quan can ensure control is only the north gate, so in theory, there are still risks in the east and west gates.

   "Let's put it in..." Sun Quan said suddenly.

  『Put, put in? 』Zhou Tai froze for a moment.

  Sun Quan looked at Zhou Tai, "You Ping, can I trust you?" 』

  Zhou Tai hammered twice on the breastplate with his hand, "My lord! Taibai dies without turning his heels! 』

   Before Sun Quan could say anything, another soldier rushed over. Because he was galloping all the way, he was huffing and wheezing when he got in front of Sun Quan.

  Zhou Tai was impatient and stared at him, "Say it quickly! What's the matter? ! 』

  『Out, out! It's dispatched, and it's heading for the north gate! ’ The soldier gasped for breath, and then said anxiously.

  『Can you see who is leading the army? ’Zhou Tai asked.

  『I can’t see clearly...』

   Zhou Tai said angrily: "What is it that you can't see clearly! 』

  Sun Quan waved his hand, "Understood, let's go down and investigate." 』

  The soldiers responded and went down.

  『North Gate…』 Zhou Tai turned his head, 『Master, this North Gate…』

  Sun Quan was silent for a while, "Don't worry, the North Gate...is probably a feint attack..."

   Sure enough, a while later, another soldier came to report that Sun Hao's soldiers also appeared outside the south gate. Sun Quan asked again about the distribution and location of Sun Hao's soldiers, and laughed, "East Gate! It must be the east gate! 』

"what? why? 』Zhou Tai was puzzled.

  Sun Quan said: "The soldiers sent to the north gate are only to drag the defenders of the north gate. As for the south gate, its military academy is not allowed to go back. Naturally, the thieves also know that the south gate cannot enter, and most of the lights and shadows outside the city are on the east side, so they must choose the east gate! Captain Dongmen, I'm afraid he has already betrayed! 』

   It is a good strategy to hold the north and south gates, and then pounce on the east gate. Although he was about to face the danger now, Sun Quan was more open-minded, at least he didn't have to keep guessing who was the friendly army and who was the traitor.

  Zhou Tai took a deep breath, "My lord, please give me an order!" 』

  Sun Quan replied lightly: "According to the previous plan, first gather all your troops, deploy defenses within 200 steps of the East Gate City, and tear down the courtyard walls to block the streets and alleys!" Focus on defending the stone bridge! 』

"and then? ’Zhou Tai asked.

  Sun Quan breathed out, "If there is no more, just keep it." Until dawn at most, reinforcements will arrive! At daybreak, he loses! 』

   Zhou Tai couldn't quite understand it, but since Sun Quan ordered him to do so, he didn't think too much about it, and took the order and left.

  Sun Quan stood in front of the hall, looking up at the night sky.

   Some noisy voices from outside the city gradually came in.

  『This is Jiangdong...』 Sun Quan sneered a few times. 』

happy mid-Autumn Festival!
