Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 997 The Death of Zhou Yu
And just after Zhou Yu beheaded the so-called descendants of the Sun family, the people in Yizhou suddenly exploded.

The soldiers who had already lost their will to fight were also a little bit angry when they learned that their lord had been beheaded.

Immediately, one by one rushed up bravely, wanting to avenge their lord.

But even if they have regained their courage now, they are still vulnerable to real strength.

When the two armies clashed, the gap between the two armies was instantly revealed.

In this extremely backward Yizhou island, there is a shortage of iron and copper.

As a result, the degree of refinement of its weapons is far from enough.

Therefore, when the two armies were fighting close to each other, the weapons held by the soldiers on Yizhou Island could not withstand any blow from Yuan Jun.

In addition, the group led by Gan Ning is a shortened version of his first boarding army, and all those above the corporal leader were originally boarding the old department first.

Its individual combat ability far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers.

How to talk about mutual cooperation here.

So Zhou Yu just relied on 5000 people, and he insisted on killing from the island to the coast.

After the army returned, everyone still had energy left.

But Gan Ning, who had been waiting on the boat for a long time, couldn't bear the hunger and thirst of the sword, and immediately joined the battle group.

Soon the entire coast was covered with red sand.

Even the blue sea, nearly half of it is now crimson.

I don't know how many enemies and generals have been beheaded here, and everyone has killed until they can no longer lift their knives before boarding the battleship.

Everyone just patted their buttocks and left.

Only on the beach were corpses that could be piled up into mountains.

The current Yizhou is not to mention the enemy soldiers of the rebellion, even if there are men who can still fight, it may be difficult to find one.

Since the First World War, such a rumor has been circulating on Yizhou Island.

Probably the content is that a group of people who don't know what to do want to touch the majesty of the emperor.

As a result, the emperor invited the heavenly soldiers and generals to wipe them all out.

That day, the sky, the earth, and the sea were all dyed blood red...

It is also because of the continuous spread of these rumors that the people of Yizhou are also extremely afraid of the so-called Celestial Dynasty.

Since then, no one dared to mention the rebellion easily.

After all, the bloody scene seemed to be still in front of their eyes.

And after Zhou Yu took Gan Ning and others back, Zhou Yu also gradually became silent.

After returning to Wu County, he parted ways with Gan Ning and returned to his residence alone.

Since then, he has never been seen showing his face again.

This gave Gan Ning a headache.

Although the internal affairs are still managed by Zhang Zhao.

But I also made it very clear before that the current Wu County has been handed over to Zhou Yu.

After the battle of Yizhou is over, Zhou Yu must at least come to the government office to make a general handover.

However, Zhou Yu hadn't shown his face since the split that day, which made Gan Ning quite at a loss.

So after thinking twice, I wanted to go to the door to see what Zhou Yu was doing.

However, when he rushed to Zhou Yu's mansion alone, he found that the Zhou mansion was covered with sackcloth and white flowers.

Everyone in the mansion was dressed in plain clothes, with sad expressions on their faces.

This surprised Gan Ning.

"Who is going to the Zhou manor this week? There is such a big funeral." Gan Ning asked suspiciously.

Thinking that he was also here to visit, he went straight to Zhou Mansion.

But when he arrived in his mansion, he saw a huge coffin in front of the main hall, and there were also fruit trays and incense candles under the coffin.

And when Gan Ning fixed his eyes on the memorial tablet, he was too shocked to speak at the moment.

It actually said, her late husband Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.

Gan Ning also stayed for a long time, before seeing the incense, there was a woman with pear blossoms and rain, who was sobbing and burning paper money.

Gan Ning immediately stepped forward to pay respects, and said, "May I ask you, are you Mrs. Zhou?"

That woman was none other than Xiao Qiao.

When Xiao Qiao saw someone asking about herself, she nodded slightly and said, "It's my concubine, I don't know you..."

Gan Ning said: "I am Gan Ning Gan Xingba, the prefect of Wu County. I don't know when Duke Zhou passed away. Why have I not received any news?"

Seeing that Xiao Qiao heard Gan Ning asked about Zhou Yu, she started sobbing again.

When Gan Ning saw it, he knew that he was talking about his sadness again, but at this moment, he also wanted to find out the cause of Zhou Yu's death.

Otherwise, how should I explain this matter to Yuan Tan!
After Xiao Qiao sobbed for a while, she replied: "I am really sentimental, how rude."

Gan Ning said: "It's okay, Madam, can you tell me what happened next week?"

Xiao Qiao said: "When I returned from the expedition that day, my husband was exhausted, so I ordered everyone not to disturb him, and went to rest alone in the room. I also felt that my husband was overworked, so I didn't bother him at night. Until the second day On the second day, my concubine went to wake up my husband, and then..."

Having said this, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but feel pain again.

Gan Ning also felt a little guilty when he heard it.

Speaking of which, that day, I noticed many times that Zhou Yu seemed to be quite tired.

But thinking about it, we are all members of the army, even suffering some hardships in this battle is just commonplace.

So I didn't stop him too much, but felt that Zhou Yu became more and more courageous as he fought, which really made me admire him.

Thinking that the war has just ended, and I have not had time to reminisce with it in the future, this is the sad news.

Immediately, the eyes of Gan Ning, who was a strong man, seemed a little moist.

"Heaven is really jealous of talents!" After saying that, he bowed to Xiao Qiao.

"Mrs. Zhou, if there is anything that needs Gan's service before, please give me your instructions. Gan will definitely do his best."

Xiao Qiao also returned the courtesy and said: "Thank you General Gan, my husband is born to be quiet, so you don't need to trouble the general to be busy with other things, just let him pass the first seven days quietly."

After Gan Ning heard this, he didn't say any more, since Zhou Yu was so quiet, he didn't stay here any longer.

Let this couple live out their last days.

Then he also left the Zhou Mansion.

At this moment, Gan Ning was not in the mood to go to the barracks, so he turned around and returned to his mansion.

After much deliberation, he also felt that he should inform Yuan Tan of this matter.

Presumably Yuan Tan valued Zhou Yu so much, and when he learned of Zhou Yu's death, he definitely wanted to come and see him off.

Thinking of this, I started to write a letter.

Whenever he wrote about Zhou Yu, Gan Ning's eyes turned red uncontrollably.

Afterwards, it was handed over to the servants, who were asked to pass it back to Yuan Tan in Yecheng in the fastest way.

After receiving the result letter from the servants, they immediately rushed to the newly built shop for hot air balloon transportation.

It is to inform that this is urgent, and hope that it will be sent to King Qi immediately.

But when they heard that it was a letter addressed to King Qi, everyone dared not slack off, one by one immediately seized the time, and soon the letter was rushed towards Yecheng in a hot air balloon.
