Chapter 332 I'm very kind

Zhou Yu also smiled and said, "This matter is very important. Mr. Zibu is meticulous and cautious. How about asking him to be the tutor? I am not at ease. It can be tried first in Danyang County. If you encounter problems, you can correct them at any time and then promote them in Yangzhou. How about it?"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly stood up, lowered his eyebrows and bowed, "The lord has this intention, Zhao dares not obey orders! In this way, the people of Shanyue will be blessed, the people of Yangzhou will be blessed, and the country of Han will be blessed."

After Zhang Zhao left, the door creaked again, and Jia Xu walked in with a smile on his face.

Zhou Yu was working on the official documents in the case. When he looked up, he saw that it was Jia Xu and hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Wenhe is here, please sit down."

Jia Xu did not sit down. He walked straight to the corner of the wall where a small wooden cabinet was placed. Jia Xu stood in front of the wooden cabinet, sniffed it hard several times, and then opened the cabinet door. Eight black jars were neatly stacked in the wooden cabinet, and a smell of wine came to his nose.

"Master, I knew you still have good wine hidden here. You lied to me yesterday and said you had finished drinking here." Jia Xu's voice was dissatisfied.

Zhou Yu laughed, put down the document at hand, and said loudly: "I know I can't hide it from you. Forget it, you can take a jar of wine back later."

"The lord is the good lord..." Jia Xu then turned anger into joy, touched his nose and walked to Zhou Yu's side, his expression suddenly became a little solemn, and said, "I didn't come here for the sake of fine wine this time, I know the news about Xiakou..."

Zhou Yu sighed heavily and said, "Bo Fu's death hurts me! We were as close as brothers in the past, but today we were separated by two different heavens of life and death. Last night I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. It was really hard to open my eyes. Such a heroic and brave hero went like this..."

Jia Xu also sighed and said, "My lord is heartbroken for Sun Bofu's death, but I came for my lord's great cause."

"How do you say this?" Zhou Yu's eyes were burning, and he couldn't figure out what Jia Xu meant for a while.

Jia Xu held on the desk with his hands, stared at Zhou Yu and said, "Sun Jian, Sun Ce and his son passed away one after another. How can Sun Quan be the youngest son of the yellow-haired son be convinced? It is inevitable that the Yuzhou army will fall apart. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao are all powerful generals on the battlefield, and Lu Fan is also a complementary talent. Why don't you take action at this time and attract them to the end?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Take advantage of others' danger, and Bo Fu is my brother. He will definitely leave his foundation to Sun Quan. I can't do this, and it's not something that a real man does."

"Oh!" Jia Xu was a little anxious and hurriedly advised, "A real man can do something but do nothing. Even if Sun Jian and Sun Ce's old subordinates support Sun Quan, it is just because they are instructed. Judging from the actual situation, it is the best choice for their future development. I think the lord will definitely not treat them unfairly. This is a good thing that is beneficial to them and us."

"Wouldn't I know what Wenhe said?" Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Although Zhongmou is young, he has a calm personality and a great demeanor. As long as Demou, Ziheng and others are loyal to assist him, he will be in a few years. Although this is a good time, if I do this, what will I have in the future to meet Bo Fu?"

"Oh..." Jia Xu began to sigh and said a little depressedly, "My lord is kind-hearted. I know it is difficult to convince you. Today I have also come with a tough bullet. If we can get the generals and tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Yuzhou, our battle for dominance will be much smoother. But... If we don't take action, what will happen sooner or later, Yuzhou will be obtained by Cao Mengde, Yuan Gaolu and others?"

Zhou Yu said resolutely: "Yuzhou is poor and like a hot potato. Whoever takes it will definitely be more rewarding. Even if we want to occupy Yuzhou in the future, we can still take it off from others. Wenhe, I won't discuss this matter anymore, okay?"

"Okay..." Jia Xu turned around silently, just walked to the door and turned back, walked directly to the wooden cabinet, carried a jar of wine and left.

Zhou Yu was in a state of distraction for a moment. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back and watched the flowing clouds in the sky relax, and his mood gradually calmed down.

In June of the second year of Xingping, the Wenpin Department of the Jingzhou Army and Cai Mao's troops jointly attacked Xiakou, and the days passed. The Wang Yue's troops of the Yangzhou Army took advantage of the situation and sneaked into Jiangxia and raided Wenpin's troops from the rear, and won a great victory. Wenpin led the remaining troops to retreat to Xinye, and the food, grass and supplies were all obtained by Wang Yue. Cai Mao's lonely army, afraid of being attacked by the Yangzhou navy, retreated back to Xiangyang.

Sun Quan knew that Xiakou could not be defended, and he was concerned about Yuzhou. At this time, news had already come from Yuzhou. Cao *** had gathered heavy troops near Chen State, and there were signs of invading Yuzhou. Sun Quan could not sit still. After discussing with Cheng Pu and Lu Fan, he quickly withdrew from Xiakou and retreated all the way to Yuzhou.

As soon as the Yuzhou army retreated, Jiang Xia would return to Liu Biao's hands. Sun Quan naturally did not want to see this result. He was happy to make a favor, handed over Xiakou City to Wang Yue, and wrote a letter to Zhou Yu, thanking him for his continued support for his father and brother, and showing that the alliance between Yuzhou and Yangzhou is still effective, relying on each other and supporting each other.

Xiakou is the Yangtze River Fortress, and its strategic location is very important. Zhou Yu naturally would not be polite. He immediately sent Wang Yue to lead 20,000 people from Lujiang Camp to Xiakou, and Chen Sheng led 5,000 Chaisang Camp sailors to station in Sanjiangkou. In the counties in Jiangxia County, it was said that the army of Zhou Yu, the governor of Yangzhou, had occupied Xiakou, and more than half of them changed their banners and surrendered to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to attack the remaining counties that were still willing to respect Liu Biao's orders. He ordered Wang Yue to repair the Xiakou walls, dig deep into the moat, and build a new water camp to facilitate contact with the Sanjiangkou Fortress.

After Liu Biao learned that Wenpin was defeated, Cai Mao withdrew his troops, Sun Quan Beiyi and Wang Yue entered Xiakou, he couldn't help but be anxious and angry and fell ill in bed. The Jingzhou group had no leader, and he was not under the jurisdiction of all civil and military officials, but he did not dare to act rashly. He only asked the defenders in various places to strengthen their guards and strictly prevent the Yangzhou army from invading. In this way, there was no war in Xiakou for a while, so Zhou Yu mobilized Xu Sheng, who was stationed in Yinling, to lead 10,000 Niuzhu Camp soldiers to march west to Jiangxia and sweep the unsubmitted counties. A month later, all counties in Jiangxia were pacified. Xu Sheng then led his troops back to Yinling.

Zhou Yu's move was to conquer the county that had not yet surrendered in Jiangxia, and to train soldiers. The Niuzhu Camp had a total of 25,000 people, mostly new recruits, and his combat effectiveness was downstream among the armies of Yangzhou. After this series of battles to sweep Jiangxia, they accumulated a lot of experience, and their combat effectiveness naturally rose to the next level.

At the beginning of Jiangxia, the new prefect appointed by Zhou Yu arrived. The man was named Yan Yan, with a courtesy name Mancai. He was from Pengcheng, Xuzhou. He was a scholar and good at poetry, calligraphy, and three rituals. He was also good at speaking. He avoided chaos in Jiangdong and was friendly with Zhuge Jin and Bu Zhi. He was straightforward and pure in nature. He was in the character and advised the good way and had aspirations to make good use of the people.

I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
