The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

These wealthy families have no choice at the moment.

After all, they alone could not resist Zhou Tai's attack.

Even if they join forces, they are no match for a general of Zhou Tai's level.

Therefore, he could only come to Yuan Yao for help with the last glimmer of hope.

There are even some wealthy families who don't think highly of Yuan Yao at all.

I feel that Yuan Yao and Sun Ce are completely incomparable.

As long as Sun Ce sends troops to attack Lujiang, Yuan Yao's demise is certain.

Therefore, people were secretly sent to Shouchun to contact him.

He planned to secretly defect to Sun Ce and wait until Zhou Tai attacked Lujiang.

As an internal response, they attacked Yuan Yao together.

So after Yuan Yao understood the situation, he felt that he was really unable to resist Zhou Tai.

So just before Zhou Tai attacked Lujiang.

Send a letter to Zhou Cheng in advance, hoping that Zhou Cheng can make arrangements in advance.

Help yourself to defend Lujiang and prevent the city from being captured by Zhou Tai.

After Zhou Cheng read the letter.

He pondered for a moment. current situation.

In recent times, Yuan Yao's territory has been continuously devoured by Sun Ce's forces.

So far, there is only one lonely city in Lujiang.

Strictly speaking, Yuan Yao's power was not even comparable to that of Gongsun Du who had surrendered before.

There is not much difference between saving or not saving at this moment.

Anyway, Zhou Cheng estimated that Yuan Yao wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Moreover, Yuan Yao and Sun Ce had a deep hatred.

He would definitely not turn to Sun Ce.

Therefore, regardless of whether Yuan Yao could not withstand Zhou Tai's attack in the end, he surrendered to himself.

I hope to use my own power to save a life.

Or is it that Yuan Yao was defeated by Zhou Tai.

Then his side will attack Sun Ce.

The final result is the same, Lujiang is always one's own.

Zhou Cheng thought about it again and decided to send someone to rescue him.

After all, Yuan Yaoming surrendered to himself.

If he asks for help but doesn't do it himself.

I'm just afraid that it will have a bad reputation if it gets out.

Therefore, Zhou Chenggong called his entourage and began to make various arrangements.

Zhou Cheng wrote some letters and asked his followers to get several orders in succession.

Let him be sent to the inn quickly.

According to the highest level of speed, send it to the destination as soon as possible.

The first letter was sent to Taishi Ci, ordering him to lead 50,000 troops and move to the vicinity of Hongnong.

Farming on the spot between Hongnong and Yiyang.

And in the surrounding cities, following Zhou Cheng's order, an additional 50,000 elite soldiers were recruited.

Make up an army of 100,000.

In addition, some surrounding weapons, armor, horses, equipment and baggage were recruited.

On the one hand, it is because Zhou Cheng and Ma Yunlu are engaged.

There is no need to defend Ma Teng additionally.

Only Zhang He can be left to defend Cao Cao and Zhang Lu.

On the other hand, Taishi Ci moved between Hongnong and Yiyang.

Not only can it pose a threat to Liu Biao's Nanyang, but he can also find opportunities to send troops to attack at any time.

You can also free up Zhao Yun of Runan to send troops to support Yuan Yao.

The second letter was written by Zhou Cheng to Zhang He, ordering him to hold his own order.

Recruit 10,000 elites on the spot in surrounding cities, and then divide 30,000 troops into Taishi Ci's garrison.

Take command of the two camps and vigorously develop farming.

Mainly guard against Cao Cao and Zhang Lu, and always observe their movements.

Zhou Cheng was preparing to write the third letter to Zhao Yun.

Suddenly there was another report outside the door that a letter had been delivered from the inn.

Zhou Cheng put down the brush in his hand.

Received the letter from the attendant.

Open it and take a look.

Just his eyes lit up and he felt very happy.

It turned out to be a letter from Xu Shu, saying that the prototype of the wooden cow and flowing horse had been completed.

Currently in normal use.

I would like to invite Zhou Cheng to come and observe.

If there are no problems, Xu Shu plans to start mass production of wooden cows and flowing horses.

Zhou Cheng thought that this was a major event in his plan.

With mass-produced wooden oxen and flowing horses, a lot of manpower, animal power, and food, grass, and money can be saved.

All transportation work can be done by wooden cows and flowing horses.

So very happy.

So I just finished the letter that I had not finished just now.

Zhao Yun was ordered to make his own arrangements. Once the war in Lujiang becomes urgent, he must immediately go to support Yuan Yao.

At the end, he added his plan to arrive in the near future to test the wooden cow and the flowing horse.

He ordered his entourage to quickly deliver the letter to the inn.

Next, Zhou Cheng first sent someone to inform Pang Tong that he was going to Runan.

Check out the latest results.

Then he informed him that he had appointed him as Qingzhou Shepherd.

Let him rule Beihai and other counties and devote all his efforts to developing shipbuilding workshops.

If you have any questions, you can write to us.

Then he asked him to take good care of Himihu and his party.

The movements of Himihu and others must not be restricted.

And as long as their requirements do not involve issues of principle.

All are satisfied.

He also informed them on his behalf that he had to leave Beihai first if he had something to do.

As for quelling the rebellion, let's wait until he comes back.

Let them have a tour around.

Just take it as a break.

In addition, Pang Tong was asked to deal with the captured pirates on his own.

But we must try to get the pirate leaders to move out of their lair.

And it would be best to keep him alive.
