Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 611 Your Ruin, My Rise.

While Wang Zheng was planning, the battle in Wu County on the other side had also come to an end.

Under the continuous offensive of the Xuzhou Army, on the tenth day, the heavy and strong gate of Wu County could no longer withstand it, and was smashed to pieces by the battering ram.

Seeing this scene, loud cheers erupted in front of the camp, and Lu Su and the others even clapped their hands together, jumping for joy.

Only Zhou Yu's face was dull, and he couldn't see any joy after winning the battle. He thought that the city in front of him was Sun Ce's hometown, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

When the broken wood splashed everywhere, the stones and arrow rain on the top of the city also suddenly became sparse. It seems that the defenders also understood that the general situation was over, and they no longer insisted.

As the vanguard pushed open the city gate, all the Xuzhou troops charged into the city. Seeing the black ground army rushing in like a tide, there were cries of despair in the city. coming death.

Perhaps the most is still fear?

Zhou Yu thought in his heart that even though these soldiers looked deathly at home while defending the city, they still inevitably panicked when death was about to come.

At this time Lu Su rode over and shouted excitedly: "Gong Jin, the city gate has been opened, let's enter the city too."

"You go with them."

Although Zhou Yu was in a complicated mood, he didn't want to spoil the interest of others, so he just said indifferently: "I won't go, stay here in the camp."

Hearing the words, Lu Su was silent for a moment, looked around, saw that Gu Jian and others had rode forward, then approached Zhou Yu, and said in a low voice, "Gong Jin, you'd better go to the city."

Zhou Yu turned his head sharply, glanced at Lu Su coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Zijing, I am accompanying the army this time. Apart from analyzing the situation and helping you coordinate with the generals, the real victory over the enemy is If you haven't come up with a plan, haven't offered a plan, you should know why."

Lu Su nodded slightly: "Of course I know, you and Sun Ce have a close friendship, so you don't want to take action against his family general Cheng Pu."

"Since that's the case, you should also understand why I don't want to go to the city."

Zhou Yu became more and more agitated, and his voice became sharper: "Why do you make things difficult for others?"

"It is precisely because you and Sun Ce have an old relationship that I let you enter the city."

Lu Su looked upright, and said solemnly: "You are a man who knows how to fight. You should know that although it took only a short time to conquer Wu County, the Xuzhou army suffered a lot. If this is the case, after breaking the city, what will happen next?" what happened?"

Even with Zhou Yu's city, he couldn't help but tremble when he heard Lu Su's words.

In troubled times, most of the army would choose to slaughter the city after breaking the city. In their view, slaughtering the city is the best reward after breaking the city. It means wealth, women, and killing to vent their depression.

Wang Zhengjun is very strict, so the military discipline of the Xuzhou Army is actually not bad, but if the damage is too large, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army will also have resentment, and at this time they must be given a channel to vent.

So he actually acquiesced to his own army to kill and loot after the city was broken, as long as the scale and time were controlled, and it was enough to target the gentry and wealthy families as much as possible.

And this has just become the characteristic "slaughter of cities" of the Heavenly Army. Generally, most of the princes smashed the city and slaughtered the city against ordinary people and even some small and medium-sized gentry.

If someone else breaks through Wu County, even if they know that Cheng Pu, the general of Wu County, is actually a retainer of the Sun family, maybe they will use too cruel methods against the Sun family, but if the Xuzhou army
Not only will it definitely be hands-on, it is even very likely to uproot it!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu scolded himself for being stupid, for forgetting that the predecessor of the Xuzhou Army was the Yellow Turban bandits, and they may not follow the unspoken rule among the princes that "the misfortune is not as good as the family"!

If they really want to attack the Sun family.
Zhou Yu didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately picked up the reins, and the horse roared, and ran straight towards the city.

He must go to town immediately to prevent this from happening!
When I rushed to the gate of the official office, I saw a group of corpses lying around in a haphazard manner outside the gate, and the sound of metal and iron clashing continued to be heard inside. Someone shouted at the gate, "Who is it? Ah, it's Zhou who did it."

Just looking at the man's armor, Zhou Yu recognized that the man was from Wei Yan's trilogy, frowned slightly, and without speaking to him, turned a corner quickly, and rushed to the door.

Following the sound of fighting, he ran all the way, passed the veranda, courtyard and other places, and came to a viewing platform.

There is only one small road here, and it can be regarded as a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Cheng Pu chose this place, but Zhou Yu cursed in his heart when he saw this. Sit still!

When he came to the viewing platform, he saw at a glance that this narrow place was densely surrounded by 200 people. They continued to charge towards the viewing platform. , the few remaining Sun Jun fell into siege and are still fighting.

After just a few glances, Zhou Yu could see that these soldiers should be personal guards, and they had been personally instructed by Sun Ce or Cheng Pu, and their martial arts skills were extremely high, so they could persist for a long time under the siege of the Xuzhou army.

It's just that even with extraordinary skill and favorable location, it's already in jeopardy.

He looked up again, and saw a group of people standing at the railing on the highest floor. It was Cheng Pu in the first place, and a slightly short figure stood behind him. Zhou Yu immediately recognized that it was Sun Ce. The family general in the house.

Since the general is here, the members of the Sun clan should be safe
Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally caught up in time. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in front of him, "Zhou Zheng?" It was Wei Yan.

Zhou Yu followed the prestige, but saw that Wei Yan's expression was a little sluggish at this time, and his body was still covered with bandages. He couldn't help thinking, Wei Yan was injured?
Did you get hurt here?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's thoughts turned sharply, while pacing forward, "Lieutenant Wei, what are you?"

"Haha, just now when I rushed upstairs, I was accidentally shot by Cheng Pu."

Wei Yan laughed, and said indifferently: "But he was also stabbed by me, so it's not a disadvantage." As he spoke, he asked: "By the way, why are you here at this time, Zhou Zong? Take over the documents and don't rush for a while, let me get rid of this group of evils first!"

Hearing the awe-inspiring killing intent in his tone, Zhou Yu's heart tightened. She knew something was wrong, but her expression didn't show. She just smiled slightly and said, "What does the word purging mean?"

"Have you forgotten, the captain, the state shepherd has a military order, but if you attack a city, don't disturb the people? According to my intention, it's better to punish the chief criminals and leave the remaining crimes alone."

Not to be held accountable?

Wei Yan glanced at Zhou Yu from the corner of his eyes, and laughed dumbfoundedly: "Where did Zhou Zong start talking about this, and why have I ever disturbed the people?"

Pointing to the height of the building, "Are these people?"

"Under the high platform at this time, the survivors are either Cheng Pu's generals or the Sun family of Wu County. These are the remnants of Sun Ce. If they are not completely eradicated, won't they leave future troubles for the general?"

Zhou Yu couldn't refute for a while, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Lieutenant Wei is right, the identities of these people are indeed important, and because of this, it would be rash to kill them with a knife, why don't you persuade them to surrender and send them all to Shouchun. How about Wang Zhoumu come to decide whether to kill or not?"

"The credit for capturing him alive is indeed greater."

Wei Yan shook his head, "However, you have also seen Zhou Zong. Until now, these people are still stubbornly resisting, obviously unwilling to surrender. If this is the case, it is too difficult to capture alive. It is better to kill them." Refreshing."

"This matter is easy to handle." Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I will leave it to my subordinates to handle it. If Cheng Pu and the Sun family cannot be persuaded to surrender later, it will not be too late for Captain Wei to do it again."

"This"

Seeing that Wei Yan was indecisive, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, took a half step back suddenly, and immediately bowed and cupped his hands, and said sincerely: "Lieutenant Wei, if I can agree today, I will accept you as a favor."

Hearing this, Wei Yan was taken aback. Although he and Zhou Yu had known each other not long ago, he could tell that this person was soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
He was not a fool, and finally came to his senses at this moment, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that Zhou Zong has an old relationship with the Sun family?" If so, it would make sense for Zhou Yu to refuse Wang Zheng's offer repeatedly.

Zhou Yu nodded: "Sun Ce and I are the best friends of the general manager, and I really can't bear to see him being killed by the barbarians again after his death."

"I see."

Wei Yan was stunned, thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed, staring at Zhou Yu and said: "In that case, let Brother Gongjin go and have a try, there is no need to mention favors, I agree with you, and you agree with me." How is it going?"

"Leader, please tell me." Zhou Yu said seriously, "No matter how difficult it is, Yu will not hesitate to do so."

"It couldn't be easier in terms of doing it."

A look of pride flashed across Wei Yan's eyes, he stepped forward and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, laughed and said, "The general treats Gong Jin as a national soldier, and I also hope that Gong Jin can wholeheartedly repay him as a national soldier!"

Following Wei Yan's order, the Xuzhou Army temporarily stopped its offensive.

And when Zhou Yu declared his name loudly, there was a commotion on the building, and shortly afterwards, the soldiers in the building also retreated two steps, and made a way from the middle.

Zhou Yu only got the highest point on his body, stopped a dozen steps away from Cheng Pu and others, and said with cupped hands, "General Cheng, don't come here without any harm."

Looking at the tall and handsome young man with a complex expression, Cheng Pu snorted heavily, "Zhou Gongjin, I never thought you would vote for the king's thief, not to mention helping the evil, and even come to be an enemy of my grandson's family!"

Zhou Yu hesitated to speak. He actually did not directly contribute to breaking the city this time, but Cheng Pu would definitely not believe it when he said it. At that time, the opponent's armor was covered with blood, and he didn't know how many belonged to the Xuzhou army and how many belonged to him.

"The victory and defeat have already been divided, General Cheng, the defeat is like a mountain, why bother to hold back?"

"So you're here to be a lobbyist?"

Cheng Yu let out a hey, and said sternly, "Begging for survival? Tell me, would the Major General do such a thing?"

Zhou Yu shook his head. Sun Ce has a strong personality, so he would rather be broken than broken.

"What the major general doesn't bother to do, how can his subjects be willing to do it?"

Staring at Zhou Yu, a trace of ridicule flashed in Cheng Pu's eyes: "Zhou Gongjin, Zhou Gongjin, you underestimate me too!"

Zhou Yu sighed, and suddenly pointed to another part of the tall building, "Even if the general is not afraid of life and death, why don't you think about Bo Fu's family?"

"Continuing to resist will only anger the Xuzhou army completely. How can the general know what the consequences will be?"

Hearing this, Cheng Pu was startled, and looked along Zhou Yu's fingertips, where the people of the Sun family of Wu County were gathered. In addition to Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, there were several young men and women, and it was Sun Ce. Several younger siblings.

Staring at the Sun family members for a long time, Cheng Pu's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he suddenly turned his head and said: "Even if he surrenders, Wang Zheng may not be able to kill them all. If so, it's better to let the madam and the young masters follow me today." Go to the underworld and avoid being humiliated by thieves!"

Hearing that Cheng Pu's tone had softened, Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "If the general is willing to surrender, I will protect the lives of the general and everyone in the Sun family!"

Cheng Pu shook his head: "You are not Wang Zheng, how can you guarantee it?"

Zhou Yu stared at Cheng Pu, and said in a deep voice: "The general is right. How Wang Zheng deals with the Sun family is indeed not up to me."

"However, now that I have said these words today, the man has established himself in the world with faith. If he can't keep his promise in the future, I don't have to stay in the world anymore!"

What he said was categorical, and the implication was very clear, that he bound his family's life with the Sun family.

Cheng Pu was moved immediately, looked at him for a while, and finally showed a smile, "With your words, I feel relieved."

He said to the guards beside him: "Pass it down, let everyone put down their weapons and surrender."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu finally let go of his heart, and was about to speak, but saw Cheng Pu let out a long sigh. This long sigh was extremely depressing, filled with endless desolation and loneliness, and Zhou Yu's heart surged when he heard it for the first time. There was an ominous premonition.

Seeing Cheng Pu draw out the waist knife on the armor again, Zhou Yu felt something in his heart, and was about to speak out to persuade him, but he still didn't say anything.

A man can do something and not do something. Cheng Pu is also a person who is arrogant and values ​​reputation. He is willing to let the soldiers stop resisting for the safety of the master's family, but he will never be regarded by the world as greedy for life and afraid of death, begging for life Only!
At this time, Cheng Pu, who was looking down at the blade, suddenly said a word: "Zhou Gongjin, in fact, I have always looked down on you."

Then he raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu, and continued: "But on the day the major general died, I had a weird dream for some reason. It was somewhere along the Yangtze River. We were on a warship. It's the coach, I... Hey, but I became your lieutenant general."

Zhou Yu's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words, because the dream Cheng Pu talked about.
He's done it before!

It was somewhere along the Yangtze River, the exact location is unknown, but Zhou Yu clearly remembered that Cheng Pu, Han Dang and many of Sun Ce's generals were on the same warship as him.

The river was full of flames ahead, the surrounding shouts shook the ground, and the soldiers around were all rejoicing, as if they had just won an unprecedented victory
"It's okay to be a lieutenant general, but I myself take it for granted. Looking at that face on the water, I'm still full of admiration. It's ridiculous."

At this point, Cheng Pu paused, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "After all, it's just a dream."

"Zhou Yu, it seems that we have no chance to be robes in this life."

Zhou Yu was at a loss for a while, why did he have such a similar dream as Cheng Pu, and was about to speak, but Cheng Pu finally said: "This Zhuzi can defeat the major general, and he has some skills, and he may accomplish great things in the future , you have served him, and you have a chance to make a fortune."

"However, such thieves and wolf ambitions are not good, and we need to be more careful in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly backhanded and plunged the knife into his chest.

"General Cheng"

Looking at Cheng Pu's slowly falling figure, even though he had already guessed the result, Zhou Yu still felt sore in his heart. He couldn't bear to look at Cheng Pu's corpse anymore, turned his head sideways, walked in front of the railing, and looked up at the sky .

At this time, the morning sun is bright red, like a piece of blood, it cannot be gazed at directly.

The fall of Cheng Pu has already represented the complete vain of the efforts of Sun Jian and Sun Ce.

Regardless of whether Zhou Yu and others like it or not, Wang Zheng has never stopped devouring the forces of all parties. He is gradually turning the years of hard work of one prince after another into ruins, and then rising on top of the ruins!
Who will be next?
　I wish all book friends a happy new year.
