The Three Kingdoms

"Gongjin, have a cup of hot tea and talk!" Zu Mao personally offered him a cup of hot tea to warm his stomach.

"Thank you Commander-in-Chief!"

Zhou Yu patted the raindrops on his body, sat down, took a sip of warm tea, and then began to report: "Your Majesty personally sent an oral order!"

"Speak!" Zu Mao sat at the meeting table next to the sand table in a steady manner, his gaze was like a rainbow.

"Only twelve characters!"

Zhou Yu said: "Regardless of the cost, rush in, and the soldiers are at the gate of the city!"

"Apart from these, is there any news?"

Zu Mao frowned slightly.

He was a little confused.

"Lu Bu from the Military Aircraft Department also sent a secret letter, which must be signed by the commander-in-chief!" Zhou Yu handed out a secret letter, which was still sealed with wax and did not open.

Zu Mao opened it in front of Zhou Yu, looked at it, understood the whole story, and only then had a look of relief: "So that's it!"

"what happened?"

Zhou Yu didn't look at it, but asked with some doubts.

"Look for yourself!" Zu Mao handed over the secret letter.

Zhou Yu took a quick look, and suddenly frowned: "Our million-strong army is actually surrounded?"

"You didn't expect the Roman Empire to have such a hand, but it made us a little passive. Now there are 50 strictly trained Roman Empire soldiers behind us. If we want to break through, time is a big time. Question!" Zu Mao said.

"That's why His Majesty decided to take a decisive blow to the city of Rome!" Zhou Yu looked serious.

"Ok!"

"Commander-in-Chief, will Your Majesty be too eager for success?"

Zhou Yu has always been cautious, he said in a low voice: "At this time, I think we should break through. After all, His Majesty is a man of gold, how could he take the initiative to enter the encirclement of the Roman army!"

"If we break through, do you know what we will face?"

"I naturally understand that the Romans set up a trap to surround us. Once we break through, we will face a trend of attacking from front to back!" Zhou Yu naturally understood this: "But our army has a million elite main forces, and the food and grass It’s still enough, if you want to protect His Majesty and go out directly, it’s not a big problem!”

For this battle, they have been preparing for several years. Although the logistics are insufficient, they carry enough. There will be no shortage of food and grass within two or three months, so they have enough time to break through.

"But breaking through like this will definitely hurt our main force, right?" Zu Mao's eyes were burning like a torch.

"indeed!"

Zhou Yu nodded dejectedly when he heard this, but his voice was very firm: "But for the safety of His Majesty, it is better to obey than to be forced. Your Majesty is the king of our country, he is more important than Mount Tai. He is the spirit of our Great Wu Dynasty. If he If any accident happens on the battlefield, no matter how much victory we win in the western battlefield, it will be a blow to Great Wu, and even the Central Plains, which has just entered a peaceful and prosperous age, will fall into civil strife, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

At this time, if you want to protect Sun Quan and break through, there is still a chance.

However, the millions of soldiers in the first theater and the second theater will face huge casualties even if they rush out.

But for Zhou Yu, a million soldiers is not as important as Sun Quan alone.

This is the court's priority.

"Gongjin, you are a military adviser, a very smart military adviser, you have to calculate three points in everything, probably in every aspect, but your majesty is not!"

A sharp light appeared in Zu Mao's muddy eyes: "Our Great Wu general has been victorious in all these years and has rarely been defeated. From Guishuang all the way to the Roman Empire, we are invincible, and our arrogance is quite boiling , This crisis can be regarded as a lesson. What a certain family admires the most is that even though His Majesty has been stable for many years, has controlled the world, and is not in a hurry, but in the face of danger on the battlefield, he still maintains such a strong fighting spirit. His Majesty has such a fighting spirit , I, Zu Mao, as a general on the battlefield, how can I not be as good as him, so what if I fight with him once!"

"I mean, what kind of person is His Majesty, he has never been a person who let soldiers die innocently in order to escape on the battlefield!"

Since Wu Jun unified the Central Plains, he has aimed at the Roman Empire.

In these years of battles in the west, there have been victories and defeats, but generally speaking, there are still more victories than defeats, all the way straight, and in just a few years, most of the Roman Empire has been conquered.

This made the Wu army, from the emperor Sun Quan to a small soldier, all have an arrogance of invincibility, and at the same time, there is a little more conceited and arrogant self-inflated.

This time, he led the army to drive straight into the Italian province, the hinterland of the Roman Empire, without completely conquering the provinces of Thrace, Greece, Pannonia, etc., which is the biggest manifestation of self-expansion.

However, what made Zu Mao gratified was that even though Sun Quan had been sitting firmly at the top of the court all these years, he still maintained his vigor on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, regardless of victory or defeat, at least this spirit must be maintained in order to keep the morale of the soldiers.

"I understand what the commander-in-chief means. It's because I underestimated His Majesty!" Zhou Yu sighed. From his point of view, it's okay to think so, but from Sun Quan's point of view, it's not right for him to think so, so He adjusted quickly, and his bright eyes became tough and sharp.

"Since His Majesty wants to break the boat, we must give him the greatest cooperation. In the shortest possible time, conquer the city of Milan, drive straight in from the south line, and approach the city of Rome, and the soldiers are approaching the city!"

Zhou Yu said firmly.

"I think so too, but the current situation is that the weather is not good!" Zu Mao raised his head and looked at the torrential rain outside the tent.

"It's up to people!"

Zhou Yu also looked at the heavy rain, but had a trace of confidence: "This rain may not be a bad thing, it may be a good thing for us!"

"How to say?" Zu Mao's eyes lit up.

"With this kind of weather, I'm afraid the Roman army in the city would never have thought that we would steal the city!"

Zhou Yu said: "In this way, they will be caught off guard!"

"But after fighting against each other in the past few days, I feel that the coach of the Gaul Legion is also an experienced general, and his defense is very tight!"

"So we're going to use some method!"

"what way?"

"Feint first!"

"Feint?"

"We took advantage of the heavy rain to launch a large-scale feint attack on the city of Milan. We launched five feint attacks in a row to completely dismantle the vigilance of the Romans, and then launched a real offensive on the sixth time. By then, we will surely be able to break the city in one fell swoop. And entering, as the so-called true is true and false is false, when the true is false, the false is also true!"

Zhou Yu said with a smile.

He is scheming.

Everyone has a preconceived idea.

After four or five consecutive feint attacks made the Roman army defending the city feel familiar, the next attack seemed to them to be a feint attack, and the most important thing was the weather. Now that it was raining heavily, they were forced to drench on the city wall. Facing Wu Jun's meaningless feint attack, Yu would feel tired and his consciousness overlapped, which made them completely let go of their guard.

At this time, Wu Jun's real attack will encounter the weakest resistance.

"Okay!" Zu Mao trusted Zhou Yu very much: "Fight according to your tactics. Immediately go to gather all the ministries and make preparations. We will start today, and we must break into the city within three days!"
