In the evening of autumn, the soft light of the sunset spreads warm and light gold to the bleak autumn scenery. In the back garden of the Yangzhou governor's mansion in Moling, Da Qiao, with a shy face, slowly stood up, gently stroked his slightly raised abdomen with his hands, and his eyes were filled with the glory of maternal love.

"Madam, the master is here!" A maid hurried into the yard, with Qiao Xuan with a cane behind her.

In the midst of war, Qiao Xuan knew the situation early. When Gao Chong captured Wu County, he first left the city to escape the limelight. Later, he heard that Da Qiao had become Gao Chong's inner room, and dared to enter the city to recognize this marriage.

"Ayu, hasn't Mr. Hua taken care of you to rest well? Why did you get up and go around again?" Qiao Xuan took this little life in Da Qiao's belly more seriously than his daughter.

"It's okay, dad!" Da Qiao responded while responding, but his heart felt sweet.

Qiao Xuan touched the ground with a crutch and sighed, "Ayu, don't hide it from me. I have seen it these days. Although my son-in-law loves you very much, men may have more pity. Once this pity fades over time, it will inevitably lead to fall out of favor. This child has the right time now."

Ayu is Da Qiao's nickname. When he was in Wancheng, everyone saw these two sisters from the Qiao family, so Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were used to calling him, so this is the real name that became very popular.

Qiao Yu blushed and said, "Where is Daddy saying?"

Qiao Xuan coughed twice and muttered, "You two girls are more worried about me. Now you have finally climbed the door and got along well. Then Ah Qian doesn't know where he is crazy, so he insists on seeking death and finding Zhou Yu."

With the help of the maid, Qiao Yu returned to the room reluctantly. Although Qiao Xuan's words just now were straightforward, they were just talking about her thoughts. The fetus in her belly was indeed an unexpected surprise for her.

"If you can give birth to a boy for Gao Chong, you can pull Gao Chong's attention away from Musha with your mother." Although Qiao Yu is not jealous, as a woman, she naturally hopes that her husband can be more pity for herself.

I got the news from Xiao Qiao that Da Qiao was pregnant with Liujia, which made Gao Chong smile all the way back to Wujun, and his heart that had been bouncing around became cheerful.

"Pampered handsome, I wonder if my wife is pregnant with a dragon or a phoenix this time?" Lei Xu grinned with a big face, constantly touching his rough beard with his hands, and laughed silly.

Gao Chong rode his horse and whipped it, and said with a smile: "What's the point of being a dragon or a phoenix? What's important is that I, Gao Chong, have a descendant!"

Lei Xu laughed and said, "Pampered, when I return to Moling, I will let my wife catch her. We will not fall behind in war, and we must not be able to take the matter of giving birth."

Gao Chong couldn't help but smile when he heard Lei Xu's words, and thought for a while and said, "Wait for a while, you go and pass my orders to summon Xingba, Xiumu, Boyan, Zijing, Yuanzhi, Ziyang and other generals. Let's have a drink together, and we will never return without getting drunk!"

"Okay, don't go back if you're drunk!" Lei Xu shouted excitedly.

In early October of the third year of Jian'an, after Gao Chong carried out a large-scale raid and pursuit of the wind and clouds, he completely compressed Sun Quan's power to a county in Kuaiji. Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Zhu Huan, and Li Tong's army formed an encircled chain from north to south, blocking the remaining more than 10,000 Sun troops in Qiantang, Wucheng and Kuaiji.

If there is no accident, waiting for Sun Quan's final result will only be a destruction. This is the ending that every person with a little bit of mind will guess.

After that, Gao Chong took appropriate measures to retreat on the Wucheng and Qiantang front lines to avoid fierce contact, while on the Linlishan front line on the western front, he increased his troops and attacked fiercely. After receiving reinforcements from Zhu Huan's army, Li Tong launched a frontal attack on He Qi and Dong Xi. On October 10, Li Tong and Zhu Huan defeated He Qi in Jian'an and Hanxing, and annihilated more than 1,000 enemies. The three tribes of the Yue tribe who had originally surrendered to Sun Ce were reintroduced under the rule of Luling County.

In Kuaiji, the bustling and prosperity of the street market cannot hide the panic in people's hearts. The doors of many wealthy families are closed, and they cannot see the busy scenes of cars coming and going in the past.

Sun Quan's temporary residence was located in the prefect of Kuaiji. Because he came in a hurry, all the furnishings in the mansion were not as exquisite as those in Wujun. The silk stickers on the window shuttle were already white.

In the study, Sun Quan was wearing a purple silk robe of the same color, with blue eyes fixedly looking at the ancient sword on the table, with a lonely expression. Behind him were Sun Yi and Sun Kuang, who were younger than him.

"Father and brother's foundation, my father and brother's foundation has come to my hands, but I don't know if this last place in Kuaiji can be saved!" Sun Quan sighed, and two tears rolled down his once glorious face.

"Second brother, as long as I wait for my brother to breathe, I will never let that boy Gao Chong succeed!" Sun Yi's voice was like a big bell, and his young body was filled with unruly vitality.

"It's the second brother, the third brother is right. Although the eldest brother is gone, there are two of us!" Sun Kuang thrust his chest and confessed loudly as Sun Yi.

Sun Quan's depressed brows did not unfold because of a bold statement from Sun Yi and Sun Kuang. In the past few years, the soldiers around him died in battle and surrendered, what Sun Quan felt the most was the ruthless teasing of fate.

The decayed chief Zhang Zhao hurriedly pushed open the door of the study, and said with a deep expression: "Zhongmou, He Gongmiao has surrendered to the enemy!" Zhang Zhaowen was very talented and was once known as Zhao Yu of Langya and Wang Lang of Donghai. After joining Sun Ce, he made great efforts. He was the leader of the civil servants in Jiangdong. When Sun Quan was young, he once appointed Zhang Zhao as his teacher, so Zhang Zhao called him the name of Sun Quan.

"Father Zhong, what did you say?" Sun Yi jumped up and grabbed Zhang Zhao's slightly trembling hand and asked.

He Qi's courtesy name was Gong Miao, and was from Shanyin, Kuaiji. When he was young, he was a county official and guarded the garrison. In the first year of Jian'an, Sun Ce was in the county and was in charge of Xiaolian of Qi. When Qi was in Yongning, there were thieves such as Shang Sheng, Zhang Ya, and Zhan Qiang who caused chaos. Qi was ordered to advance to fight and defeat them, which shocked the enemy around him. Especially in the past six months, with the deaths of generals such as Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Cheng Pu, Sun Quan, who has always claimed to be a lot of good generals, also felt a little stretched in employing people.

"Impossible, the male seedlings cannot abandon me!" Sun Quan's face suddenly showed blue veins, and despair appeared in his blue eyes.

Zhang Zhao sighed: "I didn't believe it either at first, but there was a letter from Dong Yuandi here, so we couldn't help but believe it." Zhang Zhao said, while taking out a soap bag from his arms and handing it to Sun Quan.

"All the Han Xing routes are now in the hands of the enemy, and only Dongyang is still there on the south route. Otherwise—!" Zhang Zhao said sadly.

"What's the situation in the northern front?" Sun Quan asked.

Zhang Zhao paused and said, "Compared with the fierce attack of Gao Chong's army in the southwest, the battle situation on the northern front was abnormally gentle. No major battles have occurred since late September. According to the information sent by the scouts, Gao Chong's army unexpectedly abandoned the occupied Wuxing and Jiaxing areas, and had basically left the frontal contact with our army."

"What medicine is Gao Chong selling in this gourd?" Sun Yi asked in confusion.

"Father Zhong, in your opinion, will Gao Chong safely let us survive this winter?" Sun Quan's voice was low, exuding a depressed and dull pain.

Zhang Zhao said: "Gao Chong is a vicious wolf. Once the flesh is in his mouth, how can he stop his mouth? But his current actions are really hard to guess."

Sun Kuang suddenly said, "Second brother, I heard that Gao Chong gave a beautiful woman and Zhou Yu a few days ago. Could it be that--?"

Sun Quan's eyes flashed with a flash of light and he shouted angrily: "Fourth brother, don't betray nonsense. That woman was just a concubine that Gong Jin favored. I believe Gong Jin would not betray his elder brother for the sake of a woman."

"But, my elder brother is gone. No one can predict what Zhou Yu is thinking?" Sun Yi said.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhao, who had been silent, suddenly straightened his body and looked at Sun Yi with anger. Sun Kuang retorted: "You two young children, don't mess around here. Although Gong Jin is unrestrained, he is open and honest. How can he do unfaithful and unrighteous things!"

Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu always met each other and were always tired of each other. Today, Zhang Zhao defended Zhou Yu in an abnormal manner, which made Sun Quan a little puzzled.

Sun Quan comforted: "Zhong's father is old, so it's better to go back for now. I have a right or wrong."

When Zhang Zhao left, Sun Quan's face darkened. He shouted at Sun Yi and Sun Kuang and said, "In the past, in the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, King Qian of Zhao believed in the slander of the treacherous ministers and abandoned the veteran Lian Po who was good at defending, and appointed the young Zhao Kuo as the commander. As a result, he was killed by the famous general Bai Qi. All 400,000 elite soldiers were killed. Learn from the past and the army's army. After the death of the elder brother, Gong Jin served as the commander and made great contributions to defend Wucheng. If it weren't for him, you and my brother would not even have a place to live in Kuaiji. You and the two of you should not suspicion in vain and disrupt the morale of the army. Otherwise, don't blame me for not forgiveness!"

Sun Yi and Sun Kuang had never seen Sun Quan get such a big temper. They were speechless for a moment and looked at each other in a glance.

"You two can go down. You can't tell me what happened today. Do you know?" Sun Quan's purple beard was slightly opened, and he couldn't help but reveal an unstoppable majesty.

Sun Yi lowered his head and responded, pulling Sun Kuang, who was still at a loss, out of the door.

"Third brother, the second brother didn't like Zhou Yu in the past. Why today-!" Sun Kuang asked while going out.

After all, Sun Yi is a few years older than Sun Kuang and has a wide range of knowledge. After hearing Sun Kuang's words, he said with some insight: "Fourth brother, do you think that the second brother has changed recently? I suddenly saw the shadow of the old brother in my second brother!"

Sun Yi's voice was very loud, just enough to make Sun Quan in the room hear it sincerely. A wry smile appeared on his face, and he sat down dejectedly and murmured: "Brother, until today, I know everything you did before, but it's a pity that I know too late! But it's not easy to truly believe in someone. Brother, I try my best to do it, but I can't."

In fact, from Xu Kun's mouth, Sun Quan had already learned about the relationship between Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu. These days, when Zhou Yu was close to each other, Sun Quan also secretly sent a confidant to spy on it, but did not find out that Zhou Yu had any abnormal movement.

"Could Gao Chong really just come out of sympathy, so why did he retreat under a great situation?" Sun Quan was puzzled for a moment.

The next morning, after a night of hard thinking, Sun Quan handed over a command he wrote to Zhang Zhao. The command clearly stated this line: Zhou Yu was appointed as the General of Jianwei General, 2,000 stones, and 1,000 troops were added. However, at the end of this order to increase the prize, Sun Quan added another sentence: The situation is in critical condition, and the entire army should guard the camps and not move rashly.

On October 13, the third year of Jian'an, Wucheng and Zhou Yu were in the tent.

Zhou Yu, wearing a silver-white military uniform, supported his hands on the table spreading the map, and his body almost blocked most of the light. Opposite him, Lu Fan and Ling Cao stood on the hatchback, looking at Zhou Yu's every move with nervous expressions.

"Ziheng, what is the purpose of Gao Chong's retreating army?" Zhou Yu asked in a deep voice without raising his head.

Lu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "From Fan's opinion, from a military perspective, it is absolutely unreasonable for Gao Chong to choose to retreat at this time. If there is no other possibility, I think Gao Chong is making a mistake, and we can use this mistake to get rid of the passive situation."

"Gao Chong has always been tricky. Isn't this time a trap set by him again?" Ling Cao said in anger.

Zhou Yu's body moved slightly and said, "Ziheng, what's the latest news about the spy who sneaked into Wujun?"

Lu Fan said: "I heard that Gao Chong held a banquet in the mansion these days and drank with his subordinates for days. I wonder why?"

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up and he murmured: "So that's it."

After saying that, he showed his body, raised a pair of handsome and dazzling phoenix eyes, pointed to the map and said loudly: "Ziheng, General Ling, come to see, although Gao Chong has gathered more than 20,000 troops in the Jiangdong area, the only real elite troops are Gan Ning and Lu Xun. Now Gan Ning's Jinfan Navy is swimming north of Wuxing, west of Taihu Lake, and Lu Xun's main force is stationed in Youquan and Wujun, and Gao Chong's main food and supplies are all in Songjiang. At this time, we can send Qian Tang to capture Songjiang in one fell swoop, and catch Gao Chong off guard."

Ling Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and slapped his high-fives and said, "I would like to take this important task if I don't want to do it!"

Lu Fan nodded steadily and said, "From Fan, I think our army attacks Songjiang, Gao Chong will send Lu Xun to retake with all his strength. At this time, we can attack Wujun fiercely and regain the old place in one fell swoop. However, if Gan Ning returns to the water, our army will be in danger of being attacked from both sides."

"Not bad. So before our army sent troops, General Ling Cao, you led your troops from Wuxing area to attack north, and you will continue to delay Gan Ning at all costs!" Zhou Yu was energetic and confident.

"But, the lord just now has an order, let us be careful to keep the Wucheng and not act rashly!" Lu Fan suddenly thought of the order Sun Quan had just given, and felt worried and could not help but persuade him.

"The fighter opportunity is fleeting, and there is a way that is the general outside, and there is no need to accept military orders!" Zhou Yu said loudly.

Lu Fan and Ling Cao responded with a tent. Zhou Yu looked at the backs of the two and said sternly: "In this battle, I want to fight for the dead Bo Fu. Even if I violate a hundred orders, it is worth it!"
