Chapter 304

~6 min read 1,019 words

With the kitchen knife held to his neck, Zhou Tai was unconvinced!

"Hehe, want to fight, I'll satisfy you later, take them down!"

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin both resisted Taishi Ci's attack; Xu Sheng and the others wouldn't hack such generals to death!

Such generals were all living military merits!

"The great army is to gather the surrendered soldiers and defeat the enemy!"

The five thousand kitchen-knife soldiers charged just once, and the one thousand-plus soldiers under Zhou Yu were killed and scattered!

Except for the dozens of personal guards who fled with Zhou Yu, the rest were all defeated!

Ling Cao and Xu Sheng simply gathered the surrendered soldiers and fleeing soldiers!

By the way, they cleaned up the battlefield and brought Danyang Prefect Zhou Xin to see Lin Yang!

After a long moment, outside the water fortress

"Thank you, Provincial Governor Lin, for saving my life; from today on, Danyang Commandery is yours!"

Zhou Xin, who was saved, came to Lin Yang!

Without nonsense, he directly handed Danyang Commandery to Lin Yang!

After experiencing this great defeat, Zhou Xin found that he really couldn't guard one side!

Simply, he handed Danyang Commandery to Lin Yang to seek to avoid the flames of war!

As for himself, he already had the intention to resign and retire to the countryside!

"Prefect Zhou has suffered this disaster, so let's rest well first!"

Comforting the other side, Lin Yang watched Zhou Xin leave and felt a bit regretful!

This Zhou Xin, although his military talent was not good!

But he was generous, treated the people well, and governed one side, which was no problem!

However!

This person has the Han Dynasty in his heart, so in the short term, I guess he can't be used by him!

"My lord, this Danyang Commandery is an unexpected joy!"

Guo Jia, standing nearby, looked at the departing Zhou Xin and was slightly surprised by his submission!

This person is loyal to the Han Dynasty!

"Hmm, this person treats the people well and has the talent to govern one side!"

In Lin Yang's view, a commandery Prefect doesn't need to know how to lead troops, as long as he can make the people of a commandery live and work in peace, that's very good!

It's a pity!

This Zhou Xin lived in troubled times!

Otherwise, he would definitely be a good Prefect whose name would go down in history!

"Report, my lord, General Taishi has returned!"

Just as Lin Yang finished comforting Zhou Xin, the soldiers ahead hurried to report!

Hearing Taishi Ci had returned, Lin Yang's eyes couldn't help but gleam!

He already knew from Xu Sheng and the others that Taishi Ci had pursued Zhou Yu!

For this number one strategist of Jiangdong, Lin Yang was still quite looking forward to it!

Although the previous plans failed!

But Lin Yang never denied Zhou Yu's talent!

Whether it was taking a risk, crossing Danyang Commandery, and cutting off his grain in Wu Commandery!

Or tonight's fire attack on the Chai Sang water fortress!

These two plans, no matter who they were used on, would be hit!

It can only be said that his luck was not good!

"My lord, the general has not failed the mission!"

Not long after, Taishi Ci returned with a smile, escorting a handsome young man of about twenty!

"Lin Ziyuan!"

As soon as Zhou Yu arrived, he saw Lin Yang!

Seeing Lin Yang standing there safely, he was truly hateful!

He worked hard and planned this fire attack!

As a result!

It was actually destroyed by Danyang Prefect Zhou Xin!

This unexpected person broke his perfect plan!

Otherwise!

Relying on this plan, he would definitely be able to severely damage Lin Ziyuan!

"Zhou Gongjin, I didn't expect you to stay behind to cut off the rear!"

Looking at Zhou Yu, who was in his hands, Lin Yang's face was full of smiles!

Without Zhou Yu, Sun Jian basically had no big threat!

In this late Eastern Han Dynasty, although martial generals can show bravery for a while!

But if you want to plot the world, without a strategist to help, it's hard to move an inch!

The best example is Liu Daer!

Fleeing for half a lifetime, without half a place to settle down!

"Hehe, Lin Ziyuan, this defeat is not because I am inferior to you!"

Although Zhou Yu was captured, he was still unconvinced!

If it weren't for Zhou Xin coming out to make trouble!

The situation between him and Lin Yang might have been reversed!

"Zhou Gongjin's words are wrong, the strategist is in man, the success is in heaven, luck is sometimes also part of strength!"

Guo Jia smiled lightly, and for Zhou Yu's talent, Guo Jia cherished each other!

Both were in their prime, and they were evenly matched!

This made Guo Jia very happy!

"Haha, Fengxiao is right!"

Laughing, luck is indeed part of strength!

As for Zhou Yu's luck, it seems it has never been very good!

"Someone, take Zhou Gongjin and the others down!"

Chatting with Zhou Yu, Lin Yang also knew that it was impossible to make Zhou Yu surrender now!

However!

He was not in a hurry at all!

Now that he has fallen into his hands, can this Zhou Yu still run away!

"The great army is to clean up the water fortress and withdraw to Chai Sang City!"

Looking at the fire in the water fortress, although Zhou Yu's plan failed, it also succeeded halfway!

This water fortress is gone, and Lin Yang really doesn't have a single warship!

This time, he can only rest in Chai Sang City first!

Following Lin Yang's order, the great army acted!

And on the other side of the Yangtze River at night, Sun Jian and the others waited for a whole night and still didn't see Zhou Yu's warships arrive!

"Report, my lord, the military advisor has been captured by Lin Yang!"

When the news from the other side arrived, Sun Jian and Sun Ce were heartbroken!

"I have lost Gongjin, there is no hope for the great cause!"
