A Journey to the Game World

Chapter 238 Zhuge Liang's Trouble

"Zhou Yu! What did you do to him?"

Ma Chao, who rushed over after hearing the news, broke into the prison and saw this scene, he immediately questioned Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu gave Ma Chao a dull look, and the corners of his mouth curled up stiffly, revealing an indescribable smile.

"I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything, he lost control of his emotions when he saw me, and then he hit the wall and killed himself!
Now from the beginning to the end, I don't know why he said those words, why did he do this?It's just that I feel that he seems to be eager for this!So, I didn't stop him! "

Zhou Yu's explanation for this matter is indeed very simple, and he has completely separated himself from this matter!

Because from a normal point of view, this matter really has nothing to do with Zhou Yu. Although he has the dominant factor, the specific reason is still on Gan Ning himself!
At most, Zhou Yu just played a role of urging.Because when Gan Ning was arrested, he already knew the whole story of this matter, but he still had a little luck left in his heart!
And when he actually saw Zhou Yu, the only luck left was gone, so this also prompted him to resolutely go to death.

Therefore, Zhou Yu can only express helplessness and apology for what is happening now.

As for the idea of ​​shirking all the responsibility on Zhou Yu, or letting Zhou Yu directly take charge of this matter, that is not tenable.

Therefore, when Zhou Yu explained to Ma Chao, although Ma Chao's expression was very ugly, he didn't say anything more!
After all, sometimes, what to do and how to do it are all measured, and Ma Chao is just a person who knows how to do it!

So when this incident happened, even though he had lost his temper and was irritable.

But in the end, he chose to be calm, chose to recognize the facts and analyze rationally!
Gan Ning's death didn't cause much trouble. Although Ma Chao later told Du Huo about it, in Du Huo's view, it didn't seem to be an important matter.

In fact, when Du Huo decided to crusade against Soochow, he had no idea of ​​recruiting Soochow generals at all.

Anyway, judging from his current strength, the number of generals under his command has also reached a relatively stable state.

Therefore, even if the generals are no longer increased, it does not seem to affect his plan.

What's more, the matter of Gan Ning will have an impact on Zhou Yu.Therefore, as for the decision on this matter, Du Huo still chose a more appropriate direction after all.

The matter of Jian'an City, with the move in of Du Huo's army as a whole, has come to an end!

And the fall of Jian'an City, for Soochow, is tantamount to the beginning of Du or the war with Soochow!
And in Sun Quan's view, all the advantages and initiative he had before seemed to be lost at the moment when Jian'an City fell.

At this time, Soochow Jianye City has already hoarded a lot of trivial matters!

And these trivial matters are basically related to the entry of Du Huo's army into Soochow.

At this time, Sun Quan could be said to have been annoyed by these things.

However, when Sun Quan was restless, Du Huo's attacking army was expanding its territory day and night.

Jian'an City faces mountains to the west and rivers to the east. In modern terms, it can basically be regarded as a coastal city.

And it is such a coastal city, but to the south of it, there is this river that blocks the roads of the city.

Although on the surface, the appearance of this river is not surprising, but because of this river, Du Huo's army can no longer march half a step south.

As a result, the battle plan that had been formulated long ago was delayed for three days because of the river.

However, these three days can be regarded as providing enough opportunities for Du Huo's army to rest and recuperate.

Therefore, when the bridge was successfully built on the river, Du Huo's army also got the most abundant rest.

After crossing the river, there is a camp on the south side close to the mountains.

Judging from the newness and oldness of this camp, it should be a new camp that has just been established, and it was specially selected and built at the most critical location.

It seems that its purpose is to stop the march of Du Huo's army.

At this time, there are also two military generals from Soochow in the camp, stationed here!

However, unlike before, the ones currently stationed here are not actually two generals.

Because the two of them are mainly based on literary strategies, this is their fame. Although they have a certain status in history, they are not well known to the world.

According to Zhou Yu's introduction, the two assistants in the camp here are Kan Ze and Gu Yong.

This is the first time Du Huo has heard of the names of these two people, and from this it can be seen that Du Huo doesn't seem to know the generals of Soochow very well!
After a simple investigation of these two people, Du Huo discovered that, in fact, this camp basically served as a barrier.

And if one wanted to rely on this camp to completely stop Du Huo's army, that would naturally be impossible.

What's more, the defenders facing the battle at this time were less than two thousand.With such a low number of troops, at first glance, it looks like a village that is moving around.

When Du Huo had a brief understanding of this camp.In the evening of that day, he sent Zhang Bao to set a big fire in the camp.

As a result, the next day, the camp that had already stood on the edge of the mountain with deep roots turned into a pile of ashes and disappeared without a trace!

As for the defenders who were stationed here at the beginning, they also died, and they fled and disappeared without a trace.

The ruins trampled by Du Huo's army went all the way forward. According to Zhou Yu's introduction, if you march several hundred miles northwest from here, you can reach Wucheng, which was stationed by Zhuge Liang's brother, Zhuge Jin.

Compared with Jian'an City, Wucheng's defensive capabilities and grain harvesting capabilities are much stronger.

And the location of Wucheng happened to occupy the main road to go deep into Soochow.

If Du Huo avoids and does not attack, then there is no hope of going deep into Soochow!
Therefore, when Du Huo learned of this situation, he immediately ordered the whole army to advance rapidly, and must arrive at Wucheng in the shortest possible time.

However, even though Du Huo had given the order to die, the distance between the two places was long after all, so part of the time was bound to be consumed on the way.

And during this period of time, Zhuge Liang was the most entangled person in the army.

In fact, Zhuge Liang had already learned of the news that Zhuge Jin was stationed in Wucheng at this time, long before Zhou Yu informed him.

And this means that before Du Huo ordered to march into Soochow, Zhuge Liang had already been thinking about this issue in private!
After all, Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's elder brother. Although the two are their own masters, this family relationship cannot be violated.

In fact, if Zhuge Liang's idea was followed, although he knew that doing so would embarrass Du Huo, he still wanted to ask Du Huo to spare Zhuge Jin's life.

Therefore, after a few days of deliberation, Zhuge Liang was still apprehensive and met Du Huo.

However, Zhuge Liang's arrival this time was the second person to meet Du Huo alone since he entered Soochow.

"Prime Minister, please come in, the Lord is waiting in the big tent!"

In front of Zhuge Liang, the soldiers who were responsible for guarding had to appear slightly more respectful.

Moreover, at this time, the pitch of his speech was slightly lower than usual.

"Understood, thank you!"

Zhuge Liang nodded lightly. For soldiers, he didn't need to be so polite, but as a modest gentleman, his habitual polite words can reflect his good qualities.

"You are welcome, Prime Minister, please come in!"

The soldiers opened the tent for Zhuge Liang as if they were flattered, and then stretched out their hands to welcome Zhuge Liang into the room.

Zhuge Liang nodded slowly at the soldiers, and then walked into the big tent with small steps.

Compared to the last time he met Zhou Yu, Du Huo acted more casually than before.

After all, Du Huo and Zhuge Liang were already acquainted, so Du Huo had already stopped paying attention to etiquette matters.

Therefore, when Zhuge Liang entered the big tent, Du Huo was holding a plate of side dishes, eager to eat!

"Lord!"

Zhuge Liang first lowered his body and saluted Du Huo lightly, then raised his head, and called out to Du Huo in a low voice!
"Kong Ming, why do you have time to come to my place today? I heard that you are very busy recently. Could it be that you have nothing to do today?" Du Huo asked half-jokingly.

"Returning to the lord, it's not that I have nothing to do, but I have worries and can't concentrate on doing anything, so I want to chat with the lord!" Zhuge Liang explained with a frown.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Du Huo couldn't help but subconsciously sat up straight, gently put the dish in his hand on the mansion table, and then asked Zhuge Liang, "What is it that can make you feel troubled?" ? Could it be that something went wrong during the march?"

"My lord, don't worry, everything is normal during the march, and there is no trouble! And the worry I mentioned just now is actually a personal matter about the minister!" Zhuge Liang explained.

"Oh... Since it's a private matter, isn't it hard to tell me?" Du Huo rolled his eyes and asked thoughtfully.

Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, don't think too much. Although this matter is a private matter of the minister, it is up to you, my lord, to decide!"

Du Huo smiled and said: "If you say that, then I'm a little curious! What kind of thing is it that I have to decide for you! Logically speaking, I shouldn't be able to decide personal matters for you. Right! After all, I have always advocated giving you freedom!"
