A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 235 Zhou Yu Requests to Play
The rest, led by Du Huo, rushed to Jingzhou to help Lingling and Wuling counties.

The army slowly withdrew from Weijing, passing through Hanzhong, then Xichuan, and finally arrived in Jingzhou.

However, there were many wars in Jingzhou at this time. Guan Yu, Lu Bu and others had fought with Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu here for several days.

Helplessly, Sun Quan came fiercely. Although the two resisted desperately, they still failed to keep the whole of Jingzhou.

After Du Huo arrived in Jingzhou, he was not in a hurry to join Guan Yu and Lu Bu, but directly launched an offensive against the Wuling County army that had already fallen.

At this time, in Wuling County, two generals from the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Fan Zhang and Chen Wu, were stationed here.

Due to the haste across the river, the two of them didn't bring many soldiers and horses, and the number of them was roughly [-].

However, the strange thing is that only the few 2 people were able to rely on the city defense and take root in Jingzhou.

And according to rumors, Lu Bu also attacked Wuling County several times, but he never succeeded.

Now that Du Huo came here in person, although the two still had the will to stick to it, when the news of Du Huo's arrival spread to the city, the two of them would inevitably appear a little flustered.

After all, everyone in the world knew about Du Huo's prestige.

What's more, the current strength in Du Huo's hands is dozens of times higher than theirs.

Therefore, no matter how fearless they are, no matter how brave they are in battle, they will definitely not be Du Huo's opponent.

Therefore, this battle basically did not last long and ended hastily.

Although an extremely fierce battle broke out between the two, the burning time of the flames of war was, after all, slightly shorter than what Du Huo estimated.

Judging from the overall time, from the outbreak of the battle to the end, it was less than 10 minutes.

But in this short 10 minutes, tens of thousands of Wu soldiers in the city were directly slaughtered by Du Huo.

As for the two generals in the city, Fan Zhang and Chen Wu, they both died in the chaos.

After successfully regaining Wuling County, Du Huo immediately led his troops to Lingling County without stopping.

Compared with Wuling County, Lingling County currently has slightly more troops, and the quality and ability of generals should also be slightly improved.

At this time, the military general stationed in Lingling County was Ling Tong, a famous general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

Logically speaking, this person can be considered to have some ability, although he is not showing too much at the moment.

But when Du Huo fought against him, Ling Tong's characteristics were displayed to the most extreme.

Ling Tong has an extremely shrewd concept of leading troops. The soldiers under his command are extremely brave and have a relatively high level of combat ability.

Although his own military strength is not enough to reach the peak state, he has an extraordinary status in the army.

When the battle broke out, Ling Tong also sent someone to find Du Huo. From what he said, Ling Tong seemed to want to make a deal with Du Huo.

It's just that he didn't disclose the content of the deal, and because of this, Du Huo also doubted whether this matter was Sun Quan's idea.

But after some thinking, Du Huo finally decided to kill him. In fact, the reason why Du Huo had this idea was just out of curiosity.

And after that curiosity passed, what was left in his mind was how to arouse the contradiction between the two to the highest point, and then use this to continue the subsequent plot.

Sure enough, after Du Huo killed the envoy, the war concerning the sovereignty of Lingling County broke out because of this.

The battle lasted for a full two hours. With Ling Tong's high military quality, he could be said to have brought his abilities to the limit. Although he still failed to keep Lingling County in the end, his spirit was once overwhelming. Duho was shocked.

And it was precisely because of Ling Tong that Du Huo also had some other views on those generals with low force.

Although this thought and feeling only erupted in an instant, Du Huo also made some actions that were contrary to his usual style under this feeling.

With the recovery of Lingling County, Du Huo can also be regarded as re-consolidating the rule of Jingzhou.

After everything was settled properly, Du Huo issued the combat order to attack Soochow almost without hesitation.

As for Du Huo's decision, basically no one under his command expressed objection.

As for Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Zhang Liang and other advisers, they did not raise any objections.

After all, it was Soochow that invaded first. If it hadn't been for Soochow's interference, perhaps Wei would have fallen by now.

And now that the plan to conquer Wei has been suspended, the conquest of Soochow will inevitably become an unavoidable thing!
Therefore, on the second day after Du Huo issued the order, Du Huo's army to attack Wu was dispatched directly from Jiangxia Ferry, and under the leadership of Zhou Yu, they went directly across the river to Soochow.

This time, Zhou Yu's joining was almost beyond Du Huo's expectation.

Because, according to Du Huo's plan, Zhou Yu would absolutely not be able to go on this trip.

Although Zhou Yu was well aware of the situation in Soochow, he had served Sun Quan before.

Even though Du Huo had already forcibly drawn Zhou Yu into his subordinates by means of infinite faith.

But after this period of time, Du Huo's understanding of generals, he also discovered some laws that violated common sense.

Therefore, although Zhou Yu is already his general, he does not fully trust him, and sometimes, his doubts far outweigh his trust.

Therefore, this is how he wants to keep Zhou Yu in Jingzhou!
However, what he never expected was that this time Zhou Yu would take the initiative to ask for orders to attack Soochow.

Moreover, this was on the premise that he had already known about Du Huo's battle plan.

For this reason, Du Huo really had too many puzzles. He even wondered whether Zhou Yu had colluded with Soochow, and that's why he begged for orders like this.

But when Du Huo opened the system panel and checked Zhou Yu's information, Zhou Yu's affiliation column clearly stated him, Du Huo himself.

Moreover, after this period of emotional cultivation, the loyalty of those around him has also been greatly improved.

Even, the value of this loyalty once reached Zhao Yun's level.

Therefore, it stands to reason that Zhou Yu can indeed be trusted by Du Huo now.

It's just that Du Huo couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart.

So, after Du Huo figured out the reason, he also asked Zhuge Liang for his opinion.

In the end, Zhuge Liang also very much agreed with Zhou Yu's decision.

Therefore, Du Huo, who was affirmed in his heart, agreed to Zhou Yu's request without any hesitation.

Moreover, he entrusted Zhou Yu with the task of leading the army across the river.

As for Du Huo's trust, Zhou Yu really lived up to it.

Starting from Jiangxia and crossing the river to Soochow, this is an extremely long and arduous journey.

Because, from the moment Sun Quan sent troops into Jingzhou, he had already heavily armed the surrounding areas of Soochow.

In fact, as early as the moment he sent troops, he had already realized that Soochow would one day be attacked by the outside world.

Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, and at the same time to protect the safety of the people of Soochow, Sun Quan specially placed heavy troops on the border of Soochow.

Moreover, the cities and camps are like gravel in the winding mountain road, springing up one after another.

If Du Huo wanted to march to capture Soochow, he had to go through one pass after another.

This journey will eventually affect the fate of these two great forces!
The next day, under the leadership of Zhou Yu, Du Huo's army successfully crossed the river and reached the border of Soochow.

However, for some unknown reason, the terrain of Soochow at this time was very different from that of the Battle of Chibi.

Originally, Soochow was just a plain, and it wouldn't take long before we could reach Chaisang.

But at this time, what appeared in front of Du Huo was a mountain range and an endless forest.

After Zhou Yu’s introduction, it was learned that Zhou Yu specifically chose a remote location to land in order to avoid encounters with Soochow’s defense troops during this trip.

Therefore, the scene at this time was different when Du Huo entered Soochow.

After figuring out the reason, Du Huo directly followed Zhou Yu's guidance and led the army into the mountains for a long time, and finally arrived at the nearest city to the shore——Jian'an City!

Speaking of this city, it can be regarded as a gathering of famous generals, according to Du Huode's investigation.

At this time, the generals stationed in Jian'an City were Gan Ning and Lu Su.

Speaking of which, these two are really famous contemporary players.

Especially Lu Su, during the Battle of Chibi, he actively cooperated with Du Huo's army. Although the time of contacting was not that much, Du Huo had a relationship with Lu Su at least once.

However, now, they are facing each other tit for tat and are enemies.

This can be regarded as a rather dramatic ending!
On the eve of attacking Jian'an City, Zhou Yu visited Du Huo overnight and wanted to ask Du Huo for a matter.

When the guard's report was passed to Du Huo, Du Huo started to murmur because of it.

Logically speaking, although Zhou Yu's trip was requested by him on his own initiative, as for the arrangement of the war and the planning of specific matters, he should also follow Du Huo's orders.

However, at this time, he came here again to ask for something, so this was unavoidable, and it would make Du Huo have some bad thoughts.

However, even though Du Huo murmured, he still approached Zhou Yu.

After all, Du Huo was also very curious about what Zhou Yu was looking for.

In addition, he also seemed to have such a fluke mentality towards Zhou Yu.

From his point of view, perhaps Zhou Yu's coming to him was a good thing!Maybe, he will come up with some good strategies for himself, and even directly help him find the fastest way to capture Soochow.

If this is the case, then for Du Huo, it is indeed a good thing that has benefited a lot!
