Chapter 918 Jiangdong Dilemma
Zhuge Liang did not pursue Zhou Yu, which relieved Jiangdong's troops a lot.
They thought Zhuge Liang would attack their camp, or pursue them relentlessly, but they did not expect that Zhuge Liang would have nothing to do after just ambushing the riverside.
This surprised them very much, and they didn't even know why, because logic was that they had just been considered a defeated general and might not have any chance of resistance. If they were ambushing for a while, they would definitely solve everything.
If Zhou Yu had been to this ambush, he would have been ambushed after the first ambush. In this way, they would definitely block all their retreats, and it would be impossible for anyone to give up or allow anyone to escape.
He didn't know who was attacking them this time, but he definitely knew that the commander behind the scenes must be Lu Bu. If it weren't for Lu Bu, it would definitely make people feel helpless.
They didn't know what it was for. Lu Bu stopped chasing them at the critical moment, but it was not worthy of gratitude for them.
Because although they were not chased this time, they lost the most important things.
Their losses this time were very heavy, but compared to one person, this loss is basically nothing.
That person is the overlord of Jiangdong, Sun Ce, known as the little overlord of Jiangdong.
No one expected that this time, their overlord of Jiangdong and their lord were trapped in this ambush for Jingzhou.
Not only did they fall into the trap, but they also abandoned their lives. This was simply a news of a thunderclap in the sky, and it was impossible for them to believe it.
But even if they don’t believe it, they have no choice, because things have really happened and it is impossible to reverse it again.
And the most embarrassing thing about them was that when they encountered an ambush, they actually left the body of their main attacker first, and then the few of them escaped.
This is simply an insult to them, or a very shameful humiliation.
At this stage, there is a kind of romantic man called dying for his confidant.
Some people can sacrifice their lives for their lords, while others can sacrifice their lives for their own reputation.
But now for those who have just escaped from Jiangdong, they have neither reputation nor lords anymore, because they have abandoned their lords' corpse for the sake of escaping, so their reputation has disappeared.
And they did not fight to the end for the main attack, so they would not have the most basic reputation for being a human being. It is precisely because of this that although each of them has escaped from Zhuge Liang's ambush, no one is at ease now.
So although each of them escaped after death, they were not in a good mood. Instead, they were in a very bad mood by their brothers or their lords.
So now they have just escaped, some people have divided into two factions. Some people think they should snatch Sun Ce's body out at all costs, while others think they should return to Jiangdong now and stabilize the situation in Jiangdong.
They want to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong and quickly stabilize the overall situation in Jiangdong. This is the most important thing.
However, some people think that Sun Ce is the lord of Jiangdong. Although Sun Ce is dead now, he will never let Sun Ce's body be left in the hands of the enemy. Who can know what incredible things the enemy will do with Sun Ce's body?
It is precisely because of this that they refuse everything, and it is precisely because of this that the people on both sides directly hold their own opinions and have not given up.
In the end, both sides could not argue, so they could only ask Zhou Yu to make the final decision.
Now Zhou Yu was in a wound on his shoulder. His wound was still bleeding, and after being soaked in the river, there were signs of decay.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yu's face was pale and bloodless at this moment, and he was in a bad mood. Judging from his appearance, Zhou Yu's overall condition was very bad.
But now they have no way to explain this and cannot just ask Zhou Yu for advice.
It can be said that except for Sun Ce, the only person left in Jiangdong is Zhou Yu who can command them.
It can even be said that Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Quan is not as powerful as Zhou Yu, because all these people were promoted by Zhou Yu, and the development of Jiangdong was all expanded little by little by little by little by little by Zhou Yu's hands.
It is precisely because of this that they encountered something, except for Sun Ce, they went to Zhou Yu to discuss it. Now that Sun Ce is dead, there is no doubt that Zhou Yu is their leader, and they absolutely obey Zhou Yu's orders.
So they couldn't stand the stalemate and immediately ran to find Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu was not in a good mood now. He was also trapped in the city when facing these people's questions.
When others saw Zhou Yu falling into thinking, they did not dare to disturb Zhou Yu because they were afraid of interrupting Zhou Yu's thoughts, so they could only wait quietly.
Zhou Yun thought for a long time, then thought quietly, finally sighed, and said, "Let's go back to Jiangdong first. After returning to Jiangdong first, we will make a long-term plan and then sort out everything well. The most important issue now is to protect Jiangdong."
If Jiangdong is not protected properly, they are likely to be attacked by some other people again. And if Jiangdong people are allowed to know the news of Sun Ce's death, there will be chaos in the rear.
If the rear is unstable at this time, it is likely that Liu Bei or Cao Cao will be cheaper. It is precisely because of this that one of them has to return to Jiangdong quickly.
So Zhou Yu made such a decision, and he could only continue to rescue people under the pressure of everyone. Only in this way can he continue to move forward.
As for the rescue of Sun Ce, we can only wait, or we can only talk about it later. If it were now, it would be impossible and we would not have the intention.
