"What does Mister mean by finding a different path?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
"Attack the Yellow Dragon, attack the Red Wood Mulberry Tree." Jia Xu was unequivocal. "Chai Sang's forces are currently empty. If he uses his troops appropriately, he should be able to defeat them in one strike. Once Chai Sang falls, the danger of Yiling will be resolved. "
Ouyang Shuo smiled as he nodded and said, "This Solitude and Mister happen to have the same thought. Pass down the order, quickly clean up the battlefield, rest for a day at the Red Cliffs, replenish supplies, and then set off for Firewood Mulberry! "
"Yes!" Zheng He accepted the order and left.
Ouyang Shuo summoned a messenger and asked him to deliver a secret letter to Feng Qiuhuang. There were only eight words in the letter: Defend for ten days, and the situation will change.
Xunyang County, Chaolai Mulberry.
The Yangtze River flows to the foot of Mount Lu and converges with Lake Poyang, thus reaching the ancient Chaisang Mulberry Tree. This place was a collection of the beauty of Jiangnan, winding corridors and pavilions, empty mountain scenery, Miaomiao.
Chaisang, now known as Jiujiang, was the main thoroughfare of the Nine Rivers. It guarded the throat of the Yangtze River and was a battleground for military strategists.
Before the Battle of Chibi, the Jiangdong Group used Chaisang Mulberry as their administrative center and stationed their troops there. Their goal was to kill Ancestor Huang. Zhou Yu had been training the Jiangdong Navy at Poyang Lake for a long period of time.
Huang Zu was dead, but Chai Sang was still the focus of attention.
After five days of sailing, the fleet finally arrived outside the Kindling Mulberry City. The fleet suddenly appeared in the mist. Ouyang Shuo was clad in armor and holding his sword horizontally. He stood facing the water, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
"Send someone to inform Sun Quan and persuade him to surrender. I only want to exchange him for Zhou Yu. I am not willing to increase the number of killings. If he isn't willing, then let the common people accompany him in death! "Ouyang Shuo said coolly.
"Understood!" Jia Xu answered.
Jia Xu believes that Jun Shang will do what he says. He actually hopes that Sun Quan can be a bit more unyielding.
The Kindling Mulberry City was built alongside and surrounded by water. For land forces, the Kindling Mulberry City was a tough nut to crack, but for ocean-going fleets, it was the easiest city to capture.
As long as the fleet arrived at the Kindling Mulberry Wall, the cannons would be able to blast the walls directly. Because of the natural cannons of the battleships, the cannonballs could pass the city walls in one fell swoop and explode within the city.
No matter what, Chai Sang would not be able to block that kind of lethality.
Therefore, when the Golden Dragon Flag fluttered outside the Kindling Mulberry City, the city was shaken.
"They've come with ill intentions!"
"What kind of battleship is that? This is simply unheard of! "
"I'm guessing that they were the ones who defeated Governor Lu Su and General Huang Gai's army."
"Then we're in big trouble!"
Everyone in the Kindling Mulberry Wall was in a state of panic.
After a while, the envoy from Shanhai City delivered a letter of persuasion.
When Sun Quan saw this, he tore it into pieces. "How dare you bully the people of River East?!"
…
City Lord Mansion, Conference Hall.
The young Sun Quan sat at the head of the table with a serious expression on his face. "The enemy has come. Does anyone have a good plan?" Although he was angry, Sun Quan did not dare to underestimate the enemy.
However, it was impossible for him to leave the city and surrender just like that. A king had his own dignity.
Faced with Sun Quan's question, the civil and military officials looked at each other. The real generals of River East had already left for the expedition, leaving only two or three kittens in the Firewood Mulberry Tree. How could they come up with any good strategy?
The only important official, Zhang Zhao, was from the faction that surrendered.
It was also Sun Quan's bad luck.
Lu Xun, the cornerstone of the Wu Kingdom's later period and a great talent of his generation, was not valued by Sun Quan at the moment. He was grinding in the Mountain Leap Instance Dungeon a thousand miles away, slowly accumulating experience.
River East was no stranger to the fleet of Shanhai City. Lu Su's army and Huang Gai's army had both been defeated by this fleet. Recently, there was news that even Liu Bei's army had been defeated.
No matter how they looked at it, they had no chance of winning.
"What's wrong? Have you been scared silly by the enemy?" Sun Quan was dissatisfied and arrogant.
The young king still could not restrain his arrogance.
The officials in the hall were uneasy and did not dare to speak. "Forgive us, my lord!"
"Humph!" Sun Quan was very dissatisfied.
At this moment, a young man stood up and said, "I can try!"
The young man suddenly became the focus of everyone present.
At a glance, it turned out to be the only Mutant Lord in the camp, Dragon Seeking Acupoint.
"Oh, what plan do you have?" Sun Quan's expression softened.
"I have an old relationship with the Mutants. I can try and persuade them to retreat." Dragon Seeking Acupoint patted his chest and said, but his eyes were looking at Zhang Zhao, who was standing first among the officials.
In this battle, Dragon Seeking Acupoint did not go to the extreme. He did not get involved with Xiong Ba and the others. Instead, he took a different path and led his army to Chaisang Village alone, with the intention of subduing Zhang Zhao.
Although Zhang Zhao had surrendered in the Battle of Chibi, his reason was reasonable. He was not really a coward. When Sun Ce started his business, he was already a senior official in Sun Ce's camp. He was well-versed in both civil and military affairs.
Zhang Zhao was actually a rare talent, especially for Dragon Seeking City. Zhang Zhao, who was well-versed in both civil and military affairs, was even more suitable. He could greatly improve the military and political level of Dragon Seeking City.
Dragon Seeking Acupoint was not muddle-headed about this.
During this time, Dragon Seeking Acupoint had used his talent in doing missions to bombard Zhang Zhao, and had made good progress. However, Zhang Zhao still did not give a definite answer, which made Dragon Seeking Acupoint anxious.
Jiang Dong's current predicament was an opportunity for Dragon Seeking Acupoint.
Dragon Seeking Acupoint believed that in order to help him subdue Zhang Zhao, Ouyang Shuo would give him face. The two of them could use this opportunity to eliminate their hostility, killing two birds with one stone.
As expected, Dragon Seeking Acupoint's words made Zhang Zhao turn his head to look at him and nod.
Seeing that, Dragon Seeking Acupoint was even more assured.
"Then go and give it a try!"
Sun Quan's expression was indifferent when he heard Dragon Seeking Acupoint's method. Firstly, Sun Quan did not have high hopes for it. The enemy had come from thousands of miles away. How could they retreat just because of one sentence? If it were him, he would not agree to it either. Secondly, Sun Quan always had some conflict with this kind of "compromise" method.
Sun Quan was a ferocious tiger.
"Yes!"
Dragon Seeking Acupoint did not care what Sun Quan thought. He only wanted Zhang Zhao.
…
Outside Chaisang Village, on Dragon Head.
"My lord, Chaisang Village says that an old friend has come to visit," a guard reported.
"Old friend?" Ouyang Shuo was confused. What was Sun Quan doing? "Let him in."
"Yes!"
After a while, a mysterious man in a black robe followed the guard into the study.
"Heh!"
Ouyang Shuo was not interested in this kind of trick.
The guard retreated and the mysterious man lifted his hood. Naturally, it was Dragon Seeking Acupoint.
"Dragon Seeking Acupoint, it's you!"
This was indeed out of Ouyang Shuo's expectations.
"It's me." Dragon Seeking Acupoint smiled.
He did not want to be recognized by the soldiers of Shanhai City, so he could only come wearing a black robe.
Moreover, it was not a glorious thing to do.
Seeing Dragon Seeking Acupoint, Ouyang Shuo was relieved. He was really worried that this person would get entangled with Di Chen and the others. If that was the case, it would be difficult.
"What is Sun Quan's intention in asking you to come here?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Dragon Seeking Acupoint immediately cupped his fists and bowed. He said sincerely, "Big Brother, please help me!"
"What do you mean?"
Ouyang Shuo's expression was indifferent, but he was already on guard.
"It's like this …"
Dragon Seeking Acupoint explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail.
Ouyang Shuo's smile disappeared when he heard it.
"People's hearts have changed after all!"
Ouyang Shuo calmed himself down and said patiently, "Jiangling has fallen, and Yiling is in a state of emergency. Baihua and Feng Qiuhuang might collapse at any time. I have to ask Sun Quan to call Zhou Yu back. Dragon Seeking Acupoint, do you understand? "
"That's simple. Ask Sun Quan to issue a military order." Dragon Seeking Acupoint said.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head. "With Zhou Yu's intelligence, how could he not understand the principle of not obeying the emperor's orders? Zhou Yu can break through Yiling and come back to ask for orders. "
"Zhou Yu will only rush back when Sun Quan is captured."
Dragon Seeking Acupoint was speechless.
After a long time, Dragon Seeking Acupoint's face was filled with hostility. He said with slight dissatisfaction, "Big Brother, can't you help me this once? I have already made a promise to Zhang Zhao. If I break it, everything will go down the drain. "
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but there's nothing I can do." Ouyang Shuo's expression was indifferent. "If Sun Quan surrenders, I can also capture Zhang Zhao and hand him over to you. How about it?"
"If that's the case, how will Zhang Zhao submit!" Dragon Seeking Acupoint was dissatisfied.
"Then what do you want me to do? Retreat? Watch Bai Hua and the others be defeated by Di Chen? "Ouyang Shuo was a little angry.
"You are biased!" Dragon Seeking Acupoint also lost his temper. He was as stubborn as a bull. "You are so protective of Bai Hua and the others. Why don't you think about my feelings?"
"I have followed you for the longest time, but you don't help me at all. You said that Shanhai City will not interfere with the alliance's affairs during the long journey, and that we should fight our own battles. But why did you station an entire army in Hardstone City, and not care about the survival of Dragon Seeking Acupoint? "
"Could it be that my position in Big Brother's heart is not as important as that brat Lao Ai?" Dragon Seeking Acupoint was already roaring at the end of his words. He vented all the accumulated dissatisfaction in his heart.
Ouyang Shuo's expression did not change, but his face trembled a little. "Alright, it's good that you have spoken! You have finally spoken your mind, but you still can't let it go, right? "
"That's right!" Dragon Seeking Acupoint threw caution to the wind.
"I just want to ask, does Shanhai City have an obligation to help you?"
"Humph!" Dragon Seeking Acupoint did not listen to him at all.
"You take the help of others for granted. Once you don't help, it means that you are not being good to you, and even resentment. Dragon Seeking Acupoint, you are really my good brother! "Ouyang Shuo's tone turned cold.
"Don't make yourself so noble." Dragon Seeking Acupoint's eyes were filled with anger. "You are helping us because you want us to be your shield against the [Yan Huang Alliance]. You are just using each other."
Ouyang Shuo shook his head. He did not want to say anything more.
Since it had come to this, there was no way they could be brothers.
"Since that is what you think, I have nothing to say." Ouyang Shuo paused for a moment, and secretly warned: "You are on your own!"
"You don't need to worry about me. Goodbye!"
Dragon Seeking Acupoint's heart faintly flashed a trace of regret, but the expression on his face did not give way. He did not even put on his hood. He raised his neck and angrily left.
"Lord!" Jia Xu walked in.
"Pass down the order, bombard the Chai Sang Gang!" Ouyang Shuo coldly ordered.
"Yes!"
Jia Xu nodded and turned to leave.
