Zhou Yu was subdued, Huang Gai and Han Dang were also subdued. The civil and military affairs of the entire Jiangdong were basically in the hands of Liu Mang. It could be said that the trip to Jiangdong was fruitful. Now, they were just waiting for the battle between the Sun family and the Sun family to come to an end.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Under the Huiji City, corpses had piled up half of the city wall. Every day, after the battle, people would be sent to clean up the corpses at night. There was no time for manpower to clean up the corpses, so they could only retreat down the city wall and burn the corpses.
Those corpses on the city wall were easy to deal with. Some of the corpses fell into the moat outside Huiji City, forming a bridge of corpses over the moat.
The original bluestone structure of Huiji City could no longer be seen. It was completely dyed red with blood.
Now, both sides no longer needed skills to fight. It should be said that both sides were in a frenzy. Sun Ce only needed to beat the drums and march, and countless soldiers of the Jiangdong Army would climb up the city wall to fight with his fellow countrymen and clansmen.
Sun Ce's army of 50,000 came, but now he only had about 20,000 soldiers. Almost 30,000 soldiers had been lost. Sun Quan, who was on the city wall, was not much better. Although the common people could be used as cannon fodder, one had to know that if one wanted to drive the elites of Sun Ce down the city wall, one would need to use one's own elite troops. Not to mention, sometimes the common people were not a help but a hindrance because once the common people were scared, they would retreat. This might cause chaos in the entire defense line of Sun Ce's army.
Therefore, Sun Quan was not much better. At least, there was no smile on Sun Quan's face in the past few days.
On the South Gate, Zuo Li's son, Zuo Jie, was also wearing a general's uniform and patrolling on the city wall. Although the South Gate was not the main battlefield like the North Gate, it was also very fierce in the past few days. Zuo Jie's appearance on the city wall did not have much effect, but at least it could boost the morale of the soldiers.
"Yang Kui, you did well. I will mention you to my father and the Lord!" Zuo Jie looked at the city wall with satisfaction. The person in charge of the South Gate was Zuo Jie's father, Zuo Li. Yang Kui, no, it should be Lu Su. Although Lu Su was talented, he wasn't valued by Sun Quan. This was because Sun Quan needed the Zuo family to survive this crisis. Naturally, Yang Kui was arranged to be Zuo Li's subordinate. Zuo Li went to rest while Yang Kui was in charge of the South Gate. However, Yang Kui couldn't touch the troops because the Zuo family's authority was in the hands of the Zuo family.
"This is what Yang Kui should do!" Lu Su said humbly to Zuo Jie.
Zuo Jie really enjoyed this kind of respect. One had to know that before this, Zuo Jie had always regarded Lu Su as his master.
"Sigh! I don't know when this will end! " Our Young Master Zuo Jie also began to worry about the country and the people. Of course, he wasn't really worried about the country and the people. It was because the city was besieged and all the businesses in the city were abandoned. He had no place to play.
Lu Su listened to Zuo Jie's complaints and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Yes! It would be great if this war ended earlier. That way, we could go and relax! "
Zuo Jie's eyes lit up when he heard the word 'romance'. He looked at Lu Su and couldn't help but smile strangely. "So our Lord Yang Kui also likes this kind of thing." As the saying goes, a wife is inferior to a concubine, a concubine is inferior to a mistress, a mistress is inferior to a mistress, a mistress is inferior to a mistress, a mistress is inferior to a mistress, a mistress is inferior to a mistress.
"Who doesn't like this man!" Lu Su said with a smile.
Zuo Jie nodded. "That's true." Men always think with their lower body. "But Lord Yang Kui, with your appearance, I don't know if any girls will be willing to serve you!" Zuo Jie said to Lu Su with a look of pity. Lu Su's body was eight feet tall and could be considered a strong man. It was a pity that his face was useless.
"Hehe, do we have to look good to go to any place? Money is enough. If a hundred is too little, I will give a thousand. If a thousand is too little, I will give ten thousand. There will always be a price that they will be willing to pay. "Lu Su said indifferently.
"Brother Yang, this won't do. We are going to have fun. Spending money like this is meaningless!" Zuo Jie said to Yang Kui like an experienced person.
"Oh? Then I will have to ask Young Master Zuo to teach me! " Yang Kui looked interested as he listened to Zuo Jie talk for a long time.
When the sky was about to turn dark, our Young Master Zuo finally left with his sense of smell.
"Bah!" Watching Zuo Jie leave, Yang Chen couldn't help but spit at Zuo Jie's back. This Zuo Jie was a person who couldn't do anything right, but such a person became their boss because of the power of his family. How could it make Yang Chen feel comfortable?
"Big brother, we should leave as soon as possible!" Yang Chen said to Lu Su. Their mission in Jiangdong was to return Jiangdong to Yangzhou. But now, it was almost done. The Lord's troops had already been stationed in Jianye. Sun Ce was also using the banner of Yangzhou. Now, it was time for them to retire.
"No, we can't go now! Our mission has not been completed yet! " Lu Su shook his head. It was easy to leave now, but Kuaiji City was still in Sun Ce's hands. With the current stalemate, Sun Ce may not be able to get any benefits. Perhaps, Yangzhou's army would have to send troops to crack this hard bone. At that time, it was unknown how many people would die. Therefore, Lu Su wanted to break Kuaiji City from the inside.
Therefore, even if the city was made of steel, there would still be flaws. This broken house was his internal structure. It was not easy to break into the enemy's internal structure. If he did not do anything, it would be a waste.
"Then we will directly send a letter to Sun Cejun to break the gate!" Yang Chen said to Lu Su.
Lu Su smiled bitterly and shook his head. "How can it be so simple? Let's not talk about whether Sun Ce's army will trust them or not. Even if they trust them, Lu Su will not be able to touch the gate. This is because Zuo Jie is indeed a fool. However, Zuo Jie's father is a shrewd person. The guards at the south gate will not give Lu Su any military power. Therefore, although Lu Su is the deputy, he can only command the commoners to help consolidate the city's defenses.
Therefore, if the gate was opened as Yang Chen said, it would be a joke. Before they even reached the gate, they would be taken down.
"But if we continue to wait like this, we won't be able to take down the city gate. That Zuo Li has a tight grip on the military power. Big Brother, how can you get it?" Yang Chen was still persuading Lu Su to leave because Lu Su had already done enough for Jiangdong. The military power was Zuo Li's private army, and they only listen to Zuo Li.
"No, these soldiers do not only listen to Zuo Li!" Lu Su shook his head and said.
"En?" Yang Chen frowned, but then he understood something. "Big brother, what do you mean?"
"These are the private soldiers of the Zuo Family. In addition to Zuo Li, there is also Zuo Jie, the young master who can command them!" Lu Su said to Yang Chen. He wanted to start with Zuo Jie.
Compared to the old fox Zuo Li, Zuo Jie was much easier to deal with.
After another two days, Sun Ce's army's attack was reduced. After all, Sun Ce's men were also people. They could not maintain their full attack and needed to rest. This also gave the Jiangdong rebels time to rest.
Zuo Li was old, so his energy was not as good as before. When there was no fierce attack from the enemy, Zuo Li chose to go back to rest, leaving his eldest son here.
"Brother Yang!" Since Qian Few Days and Yang Kui's romantic discussion, Zuo Jie's relationship with Lu Su had become much closer. Therefore, when he saw Lu Su, he nodded and greeted him, even calling him Brother Yang.
"Young master!" Yang Kui also cupped his fist.
"Come, come, come, Brother Yang. Since we have time today, let's talk about my romantic affairs in Jingzhou." Zuo Jie said smugly to Yang Kui. While the other gentry went to study, our Young Master Zuo went to more than half of the brothels.
"Let me tell you, do you know the brothel in Jingzhou? It is simply heaven on earth! " Zuo Jie was talking with fervor and assurance. Lu Su was listening quietly at the side. Was he expressing some kind of emotion or praise for our Young Master Zuo Jie? Ah, so Young Master Zuo has been to so many places and is so fierce.
Our young master Zuo would also nod and reply with a sentence, that is, how this young master is, how this young master is.
In these two or three days, our Lu Su, Lu Su, and this young master Zuo Jie, regretted not meeting each other.
"Brother Yang, when the battle here is over, I will definitely bring Brother Yang to Jing Province and let Brother Yang experience the joys of Jing Province's brothel." Young Master Zuo Jie very generously invited Sir Lu Su to Jing Province for a carefree trip.
"Young master, do you want this war to end as soon as possible?" Lu Su suddenly asked Zuo Jie.
"Nonsense, who doesn't want this war to end as soon as possible?" Zuo Jie said without thinking, but then he immediately became vigilant. Although our young master Zuo Jie was a little unreliable, he was at least on some matters. This was a crucial time to defend the city, so our young master Zuo Jie put on his armor and came to the city wall to boost the morale.
"What do you want? What are you trying to do? "Zuo Jie looked at Lu Su with vigilance.
"Haha, young master, what can I possibly want? Wasn't she just trying to make the Young Master fall in love earlier! If I really have one, it's because I want you to take me to Jingzhou to see the legendary brothel! "Lu Su said with a yearning expression.
"That's true!" Zuo Jie nodded. He had been holding it in for a long time, but he couldn't find any fun. "It's all because of that damned Sun Ce, if only he didn't surround us with his soldiers."
"That's right, so as long as we defeat Sun Ce's soldiers, we will naturally be free from this siege! Otherwise, if we let Sun Ce continue to surround us, who knows how long it will take! "Lu Su spread out his hands to Young Master Zuo to express his helplessness.
"That's right! We have been attacked by Sun Ce's troops, so why can't we counterattack them?!!!! We have much more soldiers than Sun Ce! " Our young master Zuo is indeed an ignorant and incompetent person. Indeed, he has much more soldiers than Sun Ce outside the city, but big brother, how can those elite soldiers compare to him? You've got commoners in your hands. They're just soldiers with kitchen knives. Young Master Zuo has 30,000 soldiers in his South Gate. Only 3,000 of them can fight. The other 27,000 are just cannon fodder.
"Young master, as long as we send our troops to defeat Sun Ce's army outside the city, the siege will be lifted. Young master, you can go out and have a good time, let me, Yang, enjoy myself. Young master, you can also make Governor Zuo look at you in a new light. You can even stand out in front of Milord, ah, maybe Milord will even make you a governor!" Lu Su instigated Young Master Zuo to send troops so that Sun Cejun can attack more easily. Sun Quan's Jiangdong Rebel Army was able to hold on for so long because of the city walls. Once the advantage of the city walls is gone, Sun Quan's Jiangdong Rebel Army will not be far from death.
"I don't want to be a governor. I want to be a general and command thousands of troops. That's the glory. I'll kill whoever I want. I'll have the army kidnap whoever I want!" Young Master Zuo started daydreaming on the side.
"Eldest Young Master, the Left Governor already has 30,000 soldiers under his command. Once the siege of Kuaiji is lifted, wouldn't all of these 30,000 soldiers belong to you? Furthermore, if you were the one who broke the siege of Kuaiji, wouldn't the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under Milord's command also belong to you? Then you will be Jiangdong's Grand Marshal! "Lu Su tried to persuade Young Master Zuo.
"The Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces?" Young Master Zuo's eyes lit up.
"Young master, do you remember Zhou Yu's mansion? As long as you can take over the siege outside the city, then Zhou Yu's position will be yours. You will be Jiangdong's Viceroy. When the time comes, I, Yang Kui, would like to ask the Viceroy to leave a position for me! "
"You are not lying to me? You want me to be the Viceroy? " Young Master Zuo was very envious of Zhou Yu. After all, Zhou Yu and Zuo Jie were of the same age. When Zhou Yu became the Viceroy of a province, even his father had to bow to Zhou Yu. On the other hand, Zuo Jie was afraid of his father. If his father shouted at him, he would immediately shut up. If he became the Viceroy, would his father still dare to shout at him?
"How could I, Yang Kui, lie to you? I can swear to God! " Yang Kui swore to Young Master Zuo. Of course, Lu Su was not lying. If Young Master Zuo really took over the siege, then perhaps Sun Quan would really give the position of Viceroy to Zuo Jie. But the premise was that Zuo Jie had to be able to lift the siege.
"But! My father told me not to send troops outside the city. As long as we guard the city, it will be fine! "Young Master Zuo was still hesitant. Young Master Zuo was still very afraid of his father. His father only ordered him to guard the city walls. He didn't need to go to war. Naturally, there were guards at home. He only needed to wear his armor and wander around.
Lu Su saw Young Master Zuo hesitate and immediately panicked. "Young master, I will say something unpleasant. Don't listen to me!" Lu Su was ready to say something ruthless.
"What is the relationship between Brother Yang and me? There is no harm in saying it!" Young Master Zuo was very generous.
"Young master, Governor Zuo is a man of sixty years old. His heart and energy are not good. Besides, if Governor Zuo can see that there is a way to break the siege of Sun Ce's Army outside the city, then he would not be a governor anymore. I am afraid that the position of Viceroy would have been your father's." Lu Su said to Young Master Zuo. His vision was too short and he could not see where the victory was. Therefore, he only had the ability of a governor and not the ability of a Viceroy.
"So Brother Yang, you already have a plan to break the siege?" Zuo Jie asked Yang Kui with a guilty conscience.
"Of course!" Yang Kui nodded.
"Then why didn't Brother Yang go directly?" Although Zuo Jie was a little stupid, he was not a fool.
"Young master, I, Yang Kui, only brought a servant to Jiangdong to seek refuge with the Lord. Even if I have a plan, I still need troops!" Lu Su complained to Zuo Jie.
Lu Su only had Yang Chen with him. Could the two of them defeat an army?
"Then you can go and talk to the Lord!" Zuo Jie said to Lu Su.
"Talk to the Lord? If the East Conquering General listened to our master, then the army outside the city would have already been broken! "Yang Chen suddenly opened his mouth.
"Yang Chen! Shut up, don't say it! "Lu Su's face suddenly changed and he wanted to stop Yang Chen from speaking.
"Sir, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it. If it weren't for that bastard surnamed Zhang, how could you be here? If it weren't for that bastard, it would be you, not him, who was commanding the soldiers at the north gate!" Yang Chen yelled over there, Lu Su hurriedly stepped forward to block Yang Chen's mouth, and Yang Chen could not speak.
"Young master, young master, this is all because of this yang's teaching. There is no harm in letting young master laugh!" Lu Su said to Zuo Jie with a smile.
"Wu wu wu!" Yang Chen was still struggling, but he did not expect Lu Su to directly slap him. "Still not shut up, do you want to kill us? That person, you don't know. If he hears us, will we still be good? "Yang Chen closed his mouth and didn't speak after Lu Su said this.
"I also ask young master to help us keep this a secret. These words cannot be heard by outsiders, otherwise, us master and servant, ai!" Lu Su sighed.
"Rest assured, rest assured, Brother Yang, I, Zuo Jie, will never tell others!" Zuo Jie said while thinking. Lu Su said that the one surnamed Zhang, Zuo Jie thought about it. The only match was Zhang Zhao, who was beside the Lord Sun Quan. This Yang Kui and Zhang Zhao had a conflict? Zuo Jie seemed to have done a reconnaissance. He wanted a counselor more.
This Yang Kui had the ability, Zuo Jie also knew. Otherwise, it was impossible for a few people to enter Zhou Yu's mansion without anyone knowing. Such a talented person should be beside the Lord Sun Quan.
Was it really that person who pushed him out? So this Yang Kui was not satisfied with that person? Thinking that Yang Kui basically had no rights in the South Gate, Zuo Jie could not help but nod. It seemed that this was really the case.
Zuo Jie's thoughts were right, but Yang Kui was definitely not pushed out. If Zhang Zhao wanted to push Yang Kui out, he would have already sent Yang Kui to the side instead of letting him stay in the South Gate. There was another reason for letting Yang Kui stay in the South Gate was to let Yang Kui help the Zuo father and son to give advice. However, this old Zuo Li was too conservative. He was guarding against Yang Kui as if he was a thief, thinking that Yang Kui would cut off his military power and take away his troops and horses. Therefore, he did not give Lu Su the possibility of contact with the troops and horses, which led to Zuo Jie's illusion that Lu Su had no power.
"Since Young Master has heard it, I, Yang Kui, will not hide it from Young Master! Because of my talent, Zhang Wuji was afraid that I, Yang Kui, would become a trusted aide of His Lord. Therefore, Zhang Wuji ostracized me and didn't give me the chance to give advice in front of His Lord. Since he didn't like me, Yang Kui, I, Yang Kui, didn't need to cling to his cold buttocks. That's why I became Young Master Zuo's subordinate. If I told him about my plan, even if the battle was over and the siege of Auditing City was lifted, my credit would be gone! Instead of benefiting that Zhang, I might as well tell Eldest Young Master. I believe that Eldest Young Master's character will definitely not disappoint me! "Lu Su was not stingy with his praise for Zuo Jie, causing Zuo Jie to feel a little smug.
"When Young Master Zuo becomes the Governor, I, Yang Kui, only need to be a lieutenant or a military adviser. I, Yang Kui, will certainly assist Young Master Zuo. The Zhang family is nothing, the Zuo family is the leader of Jiangdong's nobles!" Lu Su's temptation was getting bigger and bigger, making Zuo Jie began to gasp for breath. Governor, becoming the leader of Jiangdong's nobles, how big was this temptation?
"Brother Yang, no, Mr. Yang Kui, are you sure?" Zuo Jie was tempted and asked Lu Su.
"Eight, no, no, only seventy percent!" Lu Su said to Zuo Jie on the side.
"Sir?" Yang Chen didn't understand. At this time, Zuo Jie's heart was moved. It should be 100%, otherwise, how could Young Master Zuo be fooled?
Yang Chen didn't understand. Lu Su deliberately said that the success rate was 70%. He couldn't say that because there were only two possibilities for something that could be done with full certainty. The first was that it was too simple, and the second was that it was a trap.
Although Zuo Jie was stupid, he was not stupid. If he was stupid, with his identity as the Zuo family's young master, he did not know how many times he would have been deceived.
If Lu Su said that he was a hundred percent sure, then Zuo Jie could immediately judge that Lu Su was lying to him. Outside the city, Sun Ce's troops were so easy to deal with. If it was so easy to deal with, they would have been dealt with by others. Why would they wait for Zuo Jie to come? So there was another possibility left, that was, Lu Su was lying to him. Zuo Jie could immediately judge.
Lu Su not only could not use Zuo Jie, but also be captured by Zuo Jie.
But now, Lu Su said that 80% wasn't enough. He even lowered it to 70%. This made Zuo Jie's heart move. At least he was sure that Lu Su wasn't lying to him. What he said might be true.
Seventy percent chance of winning? Although it was not a hundred percent, it was not low. It was enough to make Zuo Jie's heart move, but Zuo Jie was still not satisfied. He was afraid that if he really met this thirty percent chance, he would be finished.
That was why people said that people were contradictory. Zuo Jie thought that Lu Su was not lying to him, but he also thought that it would be great if it was a hundred percent.
"Mr. Yang Kui, how about I inform my father first?" Zuo Jie was a little hesitant. After all, this was a big deal. Although this pie was good, he had to have the ability to eat it. Otherwise, it would become a trap before he could eat the pie. Therefore, Zuo Jie wanted to tell his father and let his father help him decide.
Tell your father? Absolutely not. If he told your father, then Lu Su and the others would be done for. Not to mention whether Zuo Li could see through Lu Su's plan, even if he could not, but if Zuo Li told Zhang Zhao about Yang Kui's words, then everything would be over. So Zuo Jie could not let Zuo Jie tell his father.
Lu Su was anxious, but on the surface, he was as calm as water. After thinking for a long time, Lu Su pulled Zuo Jie and said, "Young master, you can go and tell Governor Zuo!"
Zuo Jie nodded. Lu Su was playing hard to get.
"Ah, what a pity, what a pity, the position of Viceroy will be Governor Zuo! That's right! Governor Zuo and you are one. If Governor Zuo becomes the Viceroy, your position will also rise. If the Zuo family becomes the leader of Jiangdong's nobles, then you will be the future head of the Zuo family. "Lu Su said while observing Zuo Jie's reaction.
Sure enough, Zuo Jie nodded. What was his father's was his. If he told his father now, then it would be safer.
"Second Young Master might be able to ride on Governor Zuo's coattails and join the army. First Young Master, I've heard that Second Young Master is very fond of reading. Governor Zuo has praised him many times." Lu Su asked Zuo Jie who was beside him.
"Second young master?" Zuo Jie narrowed his eyes. The second young master, Zuo Ren, was Zuo Jie's biological younger brother. However, the relationship between the two brothers was not good because they had the same father but different mothers. Zuo Li's first wife did not have a child, but his second wife was very capable and gave birth to a son for him. The eldest son was Zuo Jie and the second young master was Zuo Ren.
Zuo Jie was ignorant and incompetent, but Zuo Ren was a good child who loved to read. Zuo Li even planned to send his second son, Zuo Ren, to Jingzhou to study at Lumen Academy.
Zuo Jie's only advantage to Zuo Ren was that he was older. That was why Zuo Li kept Zuo Jie by his side to work together. However, sooner or later, he would lose his advantage. Zuo Jie's second brother, Zuo Ren, would grow up sooner or later.
If Zuo Jie became the Viceroy, then it wouldn't matter if he gave his second brother some benefits. However, if his father became the Viceroy and his second brother grew up, then based on his father's attitude towards his second brother, perhaps Zuo Jie's status would also rise. However, it would only be considered a small benefit. In other words, there was a huge benefit here.
If his father obtained it, and if Zuo Jie's father only had Zuo Jie as his only son, then his father's things would naturally be left to Zuo Jie when he died. However, Zuo Jie wasn't his only son. Zuo Li had two sons, so Zuo Jie would have to share half of the benefits that originally belonged to him, or even more than half. Do you think Zuo Jie would be willing to accept this?
Sure enough, Zuo Jie's face immediately turned gloomy after hearing Lu Su's words. Who would like to share their things with others?
"Mr. Yang Kui, my father is tired. Let him rest more. We can do these small things ourselves!" Lu Su laughed in his heart when he heard Zuo Jie's words. Sure enough, our Young Master Zuo would be fooled.
"Young Master, don't you want to discuss it with Governor Zuo? This matter is very important! " Lu Su purposely said.
"No need. My father is not young anymore. It's time for him to enjoy life." Zuo Jie said.
"But!" Lu Su still wanted to say something.
"No buts! Listen to me! "Zuo Jie stopped Lu Su.
"Yes! If that's the case, then I will listen to Young Master. "Lu Su nodded. Although he looked conflicted on the surface, he was laughing in his heart.
"Mr. Yang Kui, tell me, what should we do?" Zuo Jie had already made up his mind. He wanted to make a name for himself. He would start by chasing Sun Ce out of the City of Accounting.
"Young Master, now is not the time!" Lu Su said to Zuo Jie.
"Oh?" Zuo Jie said doubtfully.
"Young Master, the sun is still up in the sky. We can see everything at a glance. If we attack now, the enemy will notice us. In the end, we will only be passive." Lu Su explained to Zuo Jie who was beside him.
"You mean we have to wait until night time to attack?" Zuo Jie frowned. Night time was not a good time. He might not be able to kill anyone but himself.
"Don't worry, Young Master. Have you noticed that there are some changes in Sun Cejun's camp?" Lu Su said while pointing at Sun Ce's camp.
"Changes?" Zuo Jie frowned, he really couldn't see any changes. Wasn't it just a bunch of soldiers, eating and fighting under the command of the general? Although Zuo Jie couldn't see it, he still nodded, "Yes, there is a change!" If you're right, then I'm thinking the same thing as you. If you're wrong, then we're not thinking the same thing.
Lu Su naturally knew what Young Master Zuo was thinking. If Young Master Zuo could see this, then he would not be an idiot. Even Lu Su would have to be careful of his own safety. However, Lu Su did not expose him. "Eldest Young Master is a genius. In the camps of Sun Ce's army, from the beginning, there were only eight stoves, seven stoves, six stoves, and now there are only four stoves left. These stoves were consumed in the past few days on the city walls. The camp that they built was enough for everyone to live in, but now there are less than four full. Therefore, the defense of the camp is getting weaker day by day. Young Master, if you say that we sneak in at night, what will the result be? "Lu Su asked Zuo Jie on the side.
"No defense? Weak defense? Sneak in at night? "The more Zuo Jie spoke, the more his eyes shone. If they sneak over, then the inevitable result is that our Young Master Zuo will be able to launch a sneak attack and take advantage of the situation. "Mister Yang Kui, you want to sneak in at night?"
"Young Master is very talented!" Lu Su smiled and nodded.
If this plan succeeds, then they can really get rid of Sun Ce's siege outside the city.
"Mister Yang Kui, how many men do you want?" Zuo Jie was tempted and asked Lu Su.
Zuo Jie looked at Lu Su nervously. He only had thirty thousand soldiers on the city walls, three thousand of which were elites and the rest were small fries. He was afraid that Lu Su would take away all of his soldiers. If this plan succeeds, then so be it. But if it fails, then it is over. Zuo Jie was a contradictory combination.
Lu Su did not speak, but raised three fingers.
"Thirty thousand?" Zuo Jie was stunned for a moment and screamed loudly. He could not withstand thirty thousand soldiers. If he lost, then it would be a total defeat. Therefore, our Young Master Zuo Jie hesitated whether or not he should risk his life.
"No, no, no." Lu Su shook his head. "Not thirty thousand, but three thousand!" Haha, what a joke. If he took thirty thousand soldiers, he could win a battle. But was this the kind of victory Lu Su wanted? If Sun Ce's army was destroyed, then the Yangzhou Army would have to attack Huiji. Wasn't this a joke? Therefore, three thousand soldiers was what Lu Su needed.
"Three thousand?" Zuo Jie's heart ached even if it was three thousand. He only had three thousand elites. If Lu Su wanted all of them, Zuo Jie would not be willing to part with them.
"Of course, not the three thousand elites. I only need five hundred of them. The other two thousand and five hundred are just some ordinary soldiers." Lu Su smiled and said to Zuo Jie.
"Five hundred! Mister, why don't you take more? "Zuo Jie was not satisfied. How can you fight a battle with only five hundred elites? How can you destroy the enemy in one go?
"No need, five hundred is enough!" Lu Su smiled and said to Zuo Jie. "Young Master, you just need to stay in the city and wait for my good news!"
"Then everything depends on mister!" Zuo Jie was a little relieved because he didn't need to personally go out to fight. Moreover, Lu Su had only brought back five hundred elites. Even if the entire army was wiped out, at worst he would just be scolded by his father. Zuo Jie didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he succeeded. It would be the pinnacle of his life.
Lu Su nodded. The night came quickly and the moon seemed to be shy tonight. It hid in the clouds and made a good cover for the sneak attack.
The three thousand soldiers were quickly arranged by Zuo Jie and handed over to Lu Su. Even before leaving, Zuo Jie bought people's hearts. "Mister Yang Kui, everything depends on you. If, if you can't do it, please do your best to protect yourself."
"Please rest assured, Young Master, this battle will be won!" Lu Su was moved to tears.
"Army broadcast!" Just as Lu Su and his 3,000 men were about to leave Kuaiji City, they were stopped by a group of fully armed soldiers at the entrance of the city.
"Stop, who are you? The city gate is an important place, no one is allowed to come close. Don't you know? "The gate captain angrily reprimanded Lu Su and Yang Chen.
Lu Su nodded to Yang Chen. "We are under Young Master Zuo's order to leave the city. Quickly open the city gate. If things are delayed, can you bear the responsibility?" “
I don't care which Young Master Zuo it is. Governor Zuo has ordered that no matter who it is, the city gate will not be opened. "The gate captain said firmly.
"What if we want to force our way through?" Yang Chen asked.
"Then you can only ask the sword in my hand!" The gate captain's men pulled out their swords one by one.
"Young Master, look, it seems that someone in the Zuo family doesn't put you in their eyes!" Lu Su said to a young man beside him.
The young man's face was cold. This person was Zuo Jie. If it was a normal day, Zuo Jie would not say anything. But now that Lu Su mentioned his second brother, Zuo Jie's heart was engraved in his heart. So when the gate captain said that he did not care which Young Master Zuo it was, he was completely enraged!
"Who is it, you are not allowed to come closer!" The gate captain scolded. Zuo Jie had already stepped forward.
"If you come closer, I will shoot!" The gate captain's men followed behind and raised their bows.
"Big Brother?" Yang Chen asked Lu Su if he wanted to go forward and protect Zuo Jie. If Zuo Jie was mistakenly killed here, it would not be good.
"No!" Lu Su shook his head. "Our Young Master Zuo will not let himself die! “
"Shoot? Haha, why don't you shoot? Let's see if you dare to shoot or not. Cheng Hu, why don't you shoot! "An angry voice rang out.
"Young, Young Master?" The gate captain's name was Cheng Hu. He was originally working under the third madam, the second young master Zuo Ren. Because the city gate was too important, he was transferred out. However, he still recognized the young master Zuo Jie.
"What? You still know that there is a young master like me? Aren't you working under my brother? I thought you did not put me, the young master, in your eyes? "Zuo Jie's voice came one after another.
"No, I don't dare!" On the other side, Cheng Hu couldn't say anything. It was already dark. Why didn't a young master like him go to sleep and come to the city gate? That was why Cheng Hu said those words. It was completely a complaint.
"I don't think you dare!" Zuo Jie snorted. "Quickly open the city gate for me!"
"Young Master, you can't. The master said that unless the master orders, no one is allowed to open the city gate!" "Cheng Hu still listens to Governor Zuo's words.
"Can't I?" Zuo Jie sneered and asked.
"This, this!" Cheng Hu hesitated. Under this hesitation, he suddenly flew over.
"Ah ah!" Cheng Hu clutched his stomach and lay on the ground. Just now, Cheng Hu was directly kicked in the stomach by Zuo Jie. Although Zuo Jie was a prodigal young master, he was still seven feet tall. His body was still very strong. This kick was done with all his strength in anger. Naturally, the feeling was not good.
"Head?" The guards behind Cheng Hu wanted to help Cheng Hu up but were stopped by Zuo Jie.
"How is it, Cheng Hu? Is the city gate still open? "Zuo Jie sneered and asked Cheng Hu.
"Young Master, the master has …" Before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked again.
"Young Master, forget it. At most, we won't go!" Lu Su's voice came from behind Zuo Jie. It would have been better if this voice did not say anything. Zuo Jie was even angrier.
"Cheng Hu, let me tell you. Today, you have to open the city gate. If you don't want to open it, then my father will spare you. But I won't spare you. If I, Zuo Jie, want to kill you, how much trouble would I have to go through?" Zuo Jie angrily said to Cheng Hu. He couldn't hold back his anger anymore.
"I, I, I," Cheng Hu was in a difficult position. Originally, Governor Zuo had given him the order to guard the city gate with his life. If someone did not receive Governor Zuo's order to pass through, then he, Cheng Hu, would take his life. However, Young Master Zuo also wanted him to open the city gate. If he did not open it, then he would kill him. What should Cheng Hu do? He was going to die either way.
"General, why do you have to do this! Our young master indeed has important military matters to deal with. Otherwise, he would not have come to the city gate. We will not make things difficult for you. If you let us pass, then everything will be on our shoulders. If something happens, then the young master will bear the responsibility. It has nothing to do with you. We will be back soon. "Lu Su went forward and comforted the guard.
"This!" Cheng Hu was a little moved.
"What, you are really not afraid of death!" Zuo Jie was about to kick him again.
"No, no, someone, someone open the city gate. Open the city gate!" Cheng Hu was really scared.
