Chapter 251
The battle in the Jin capital lasted a total of three hours and 42 minutes from the beginning to the outbreak.

But during this period of time, Zhou Yu was counting every moment, and even his own breathing could hardly escape his calculation.

After all, he had made a guarantee in front of Du Huo. If he took the time now, Du Huo might not blame him, but his guarantee would be ineffective in front of Du Huo!
If in time, he encounters such a situation again, then no one will believe his guarantee!
So he had to make sure there would be no discrepancies in his time this time!
In fact, when he made the plan, he also calculated the time based on the current situation, usually two hours of combat process!

It should be enough for application, but during the specific implementation, Lu Meng's tenacity was somewhat beyond Zhou Yu's expectations.

Perhaps it was because Lu Meng had realized that he had no way out, so he ordered the soldiers to fight with their backs.

However, it was precisely because of this tenacious resistance that the time for the battle was delayed until now before it ended.

When Guan Suo Ma Chao led the army into the capital of Jin.

Zhou Yu's tense expression finally got a little relief.

Not long after, Jin Capital was fully occupied.And when Du Huo led the army into the city, the enemy general Lu Meng had already been imprisoned by Guan Suo!
"My lord, the last general has finally lived up to my lord's great trust. At this time, the capital of Jin has already fallen into our army's hands, and the counties of Soochow are already at our fingertips!"

When Zhou Yu handed the military leader, which symbolized military power, back to Du Huo's hands, his whole spirit seemed to relax at that moment!
I have to say, this is indeed a rather unbearable thing!
The strong mental pressure and the doubts of the soldiers under his command all caused Zhou Yu to suffer a lot during this period!
But now that the major event has been accomplished and the handover of military power has been completed, Zhou Yu has nothing to pain him anymore!

"Gong Jin, it is entirely thanks to your help that our army can obtain such an honor today!
In fact, I also know that your life is not easy during this time, after all, at the beginning of your plan, even I have some doubts about you!Therefore, this is not to mention others!
Yet even under such pressure, you were able to do it so well!

There is no doubt that you are indeed an outstanding general!However, some things have a beginning and an end, since we have already said these things before!
Then even if I still want you to continue your appointment, I still have to take back the military power as promised before!
So, I hope you don’t blame me!After all, military orders are like mountains, so even I can't change them at will! "

When Du Huo said these words, in fact, he was also thinking constantly in his heart!Right now, he is thinking about this matter, should he solve it like this?

In fact, all the excuses he just mentioned cannot be regarded as excuses at all. Although the military orders are overwhelming, if the monarch wants to modify the military orders, then I am afraid that no one will come forward. Say no!

After all, Du Huo is still different from ordinary monarchs, let alone the generals under his command are brought up by him!And Zhuge Liang alone is enough to overcome all difficulties and help Du Huo realize his wish.

Therefore, judging from this matter, it is not that Du Huo cannot allow Zhou Yu to continue to hold military power!It's that he doesn't want to at all, and then continues to do so!
In fact, during the period when Zhou Yu controlled the military power, Du Huo also felt a little uneasy.

Although Zhou Yu didn't have a very stable position in the army, Du Huo was still afraid of Zhou Yu and would have a rebellious heart!

Although Zhou Yu's force is not enough to overwhelm the heroes, but his strategies and methods do have the ability to win people's hearts!
Therefore, Du Huo's worry is not unfounded, it's just that his worry has not become a reality!

But right now, since the agreement has come to an end, according to Du Huo's temper, he will naturally not let this risk continue. Approved way!
"Lord, please don't do this! In fact, the last general was also cautious during this period, for fear of doing something inappropriate that would cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers!
And after such a period of consideration, the final general thinks that he is more suitable to guard the peace of one side of the land!Although it is an extremely honorable thing to hold military power, the pressure involved is enough to make people crazy!

Therefore, the last general also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of returning the military power to make a request to the lord! "Zhou Yu said.

"Gong Jin, if you have anything to ask for, just say so! As long as I can do it, I can satisfy you!"

Du Huo waved his hand, and his response was quite shocking.

"Thank you my lord!"

"Back to my lord, I would like to plead with my lord to never give military power to my general again. At this time, my general is willing to be an ordinary general. Whether he is charging into battle or defending peace, it is better than holding military power. , it’s much more practical!”

Zhou Yu's request, whether you call him bold or stupid!In short, these words are exactly his heartfelt voice!
In fact, ever since he witnessed Lu Meng's incident, he had already developed the idea of ​​avoiding military power.

And today's blunt request is exactly how he took this idea to the extreme!
"Gong Jin, you really think about it this way. I advise you to think clearly. After all, this matter will directly affect your career, so I can't promise you any glory, wealth, high official and generous salary!

But the dispatch of military envoys and the transfer of official positions are what I can do now!
And I'm not afraid to reveal anything, in fact, long before this matter came to a conclusion, I had already made the decision to transfer your official position!
Although you have handed over your military power now, your official position can also be promoted again!But if I agree to your request, it means that your official position will stop here forever!
Perhaps this is a good thing for others, but for you, it is equivalent to the end of your official career!

But even so, do you still have to make this choice? "

Du Huo gave Zhou Yu enough time to think about it, but in this matter, Du Huo actually didn't know how to make this decision!
Zhou Yu played a decisive role in the war against Soochow, but the only chapter that allowed him to demonstrate his abilities was the Soochow chapter!

And after the Soochow chapter ends, Zhou Yu's appointment may gradually change as the situation changes!

However, this method of change is also an extremely difficult thing for the past!

After all, Du Huo couldn't deprive Zhou Yu of his rights without any reason.If Zhou Yu is not allowed to abdicate, then no useful official positions will be available to dispatch others!

So, on this matter, Du Huo also felt extremely distressed.

So with no choice, Du Huo directly entrusted the decision-making power to Zhou Yu's hands!

Right now everything is up to Zhou Yu to decide for himself. If he still insists on his own ideas, then Du Huo will support him, and the other generals will take over!

If Zhou Yu changes his mind, Du Huo will give Zhou Yu another chance.

As for the issue of official assignment in the later stage, Du Huo will also think of a way.

As a result, just after Du Huo said this, Zhou Yu responded directly without thinking.

"My lord! Regarding this matter, the general has already carefully considered it! Therefore, I hope you can make it happen, my lord!"

Hearing this, Du Huo frowned and looked around the hall, then asked the other generals: "In your opinion, how should I respond to this request?"

Everyone was silent, and after a long time, there was some conversation!
"Hey! It seems that you don't have any good ideas. Even so, then I have no choice but to..."

"My lord, I have something to say!"

Seeing everyone discussing in low voices, but no one dared to speak out, Du Huosui had no choice but to make a decision alone.

And just when he was about to blurt out his decision, Zhang Liang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted Du Huo's words!
Hearing this, Du Huo couldn't help frowning instantly.

Du Huo was deeply dissatisfied with Zhang Liang's sudden interruption.

Because at this time, he had already made a decision in his heart!So in his opinion, this matter should stop here!
But who knows, at the moment when it was about to end, Zhang Liang suddenly jumped out.

Although Duhuo had asked everyone for their opinions before, that moment seemed to have passed long ago!But Zhang Liang seemed to still be addicted to the process.

As a result, this matter gradually became embarrassing with Zhang Liang's interruption!

Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Du Huo asked Zhang Liang: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Back to my lord! In my opinion, General Zhou Yu should return to Jingzhou in time!"

As soon as Zhang Liang's words came out, the crowd couldn't help being in an uproar.

At this time, not only Du Huo, but even Zhou Yu himself felt that Zhang Liang's words were a little too reckless!
"Zixian, where did you start talking about this? Gong Jin just made great contributions to the war against Soochow! Now, you ask him to return to Jingzhou. I really don't understand what you said. What kind of thoughts are contained in those words!”

Everyone was in an uproar, but Du Huo had to stay awake. After all, in this situation, there had to be someone who asked Zhang Liang why.

So it was obvious that Du Huo was the one entrusted by the audience.

"Back to my lord, this matter is actually very easy to understand! At present, General Zhou Yu has made great contributions in Soochow! Logically speaking, he should indeed receive your reward, my lord!

But General Zhou Yu also said just now that he doesn't want to be rewarded, and even now he doesn't even feel that military power is important!
When General Zhou Yu said these words, I have been thinking about what is the reason why General Zhou Yu can bear such great pressure!

However, after repeated thinking, I finally learned that this matter ultimately depends on the word "power"!
Perhaps it was because General Zhou Yu could no longer bear the troubles brought by power, so he would rather give up these honors in exchange for a period of leisure!

Therefore, since General Zhou Yu's troubles have been found, in my opinion, the lord should fulfill General Zhou Yu!

And the master's fulfillment can also be used as a reward for General Zhou Yu's contribution! "

Zhang Liang kept talking about his views.At the moment, his purpose is also very clear.

In short, that's one sentence: Since Zhou Yu already wants to give up, Du Huo has no reason to retain him. Being repeatedly retained may not be considered a reward at all for Zhou Yu, but may even be a reward. punish!

"Zixian's words indeed speak to the general's heart!"

However, just after Zhang Liang expressed his attitude, Zhou Yu followed closely behind and spoke in agreement.

At first glance, it sounds like the two of them had discussed it in advance, but they don't know if there is any inside story about this matter!
"Gong Jin, it's not that I don't want to let you go, but among all the generals, you are the only one who knows Soochow thoroughly!

Without your assistance, the capture of Soochow would be another matter that would take years and months to come true! "

When saying this, Du Huo deliberately showed a melancholy and unbearable look. Judging from his posture, it was as if he was unwilling to let Zhou Yu leave.

However, in fact, Du Huo's decision had something in common with Zhang Liang's attitude before Zhang Liang expressed his opinion!
It's just that Zhang Liang expressed this idea for him in advance, so Du Huo had no choice but to temporarily choose another point of view!
However, Du Huo's view is more likely to be respected by most military generals, because since Zhou Yu took power, they have spent less time on their minds!

But now, if Zhou Yu leaves, then they will have to go back to their old jobs again and spend their minds on various wars.

So they wanted to keep Zhou Yu, and naturally, it became a normal thing.

But at this time, what Zhang Liang said really touched Zhou Yu too much.

Although on the surface, Zhang Liang's words were just to express his sympathy for Zhou Yu and his willingness to help Zhou Yu achieve his wish.

But in fact, he also revealed his true thoughts from the side.

As for the content of this real thought, as of now, Zhou Yu is the only one who understands what he said!
