In this battle, Zhou Yu wiped out the main force of the local rebels in Jiangdong, and Kuaiji County also returned to the control of the Wu army.

Zhou Yu immediately ordered Kuaiji County to search for powerful gentry who participated in the resistance to the Sun Wu regime, and punished them according to the usual standards. In order to win over his own people and encourage his own people to work hard for the Sun Wu regime, and because the Wu treasury was short of money and could not be rewarded, Zhou Yu thought of the method used by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

It is allowed to lead their respective troops to sweep the manors of local powerful people after the war, as a reward for them. As long as they can take it, they can sweep them and take away their property.

But land and population cannot be snatched away.

Simply put, the land and population belong to the Wu Kingdom, and the wealth belong to the soldiers who defeated it, so as to inspire people, boost morale, and make the soldiers dare to fight.

This reward method is more radical than when Sun Ce was still alive, so it basically received the support of the soldiers. While there were military pay and looted property, the fighting motivation increased.

So a very tragic post-war plunder began.

For five days, the local tyrants in Yanhangzhou Bay in the northern part of Kuaiji County were in trouble.

Of course, those who took the initiative to join the rebels had nothing to say, but the powerful men who had not joined the rebels were also looted by the Wu army. They tried to resist, but were killed in the manor with red eyes by the soldiers of the Wu army. They lost both their people and their wealth and could not save anything.

Several relatively wealthy counties were also looted by the Wu army. Zhou Yu did not stop him or was unable to stop him. This was what he promised.

However, some people were stunned and tried to steal the gentry family, and almost succeeded. If Zhou Yu had not stopped it in time, the famous gentry of Kuaiji County would have been robbed.

The gentry still has preferential treatment. The powerful are robbed by voluntarily and robbed by force, while the gentry is blackmailed.

The gentry needed to hand over weapons, pay heavy taxes, and even marry the legitimate woman and the important core figures of the Sun Wu regime in exchange for peace. This is Zhou Yu's policy.

Don’t you want to defect to Guo Peng?

I made you all dirty, I made you all relatives with us, I see how you still defect to Guo Peng!

For this reason, Zhou Yu himself also took two concubines, both of whom were women from the family of the Four surnames of Wu.

It feels good to let yourself go, but in the dead of night, Zhou Yu looked through the war records recorded by his subordinates, and still felt deeply uneasy.

In this way, the Sun Wu regime is really a complete conqueror. Only by maintaining strength and maintaining military deterrence can one survive. Once a military shake is encountered, the Sun Wu regime will be completely uprooted.

This requires that the Sun Wu regime does not face a very powerful enemy.

For example, the Guo and Wei regime in the north.

However, this is just Zhou Yu's thought. The Guo Wei regime's army is eyeing Jiangbei and may launch a sabotage on Jiangdong at any time. At that time, can the Wu army really compete with them?

Does the Wu army, who had just experienced the victory of the counter-rebellion war, really have enough courage to compete with the Wei army's attack?

Is Wei-phobia cured?

Zhou Yu was not sure, but the war had to continue.

For Zhou Yu, this is already a battle of life and death.

The rebellion was quelled, which was of course a good thing for Wu. Sun Quan was happy for this and personally went out of the city to welcome Zhou Yu who returned from suppressing the rebellion, but Zhou Yu's face did not have much joy.

"Zhongmou, it is not the time to be happy now. The rebellion has been quelled, and there are foreign enemies around him. Zhang Liao and Chen soldiers are eyeing him, and this battle may start at any time."

After Zhou Yu said this, Sun Quan's face changed.

"Brother Zhong, this..."

"Zhongmou, don't worry too much. The Wei army is good at field battles and short of water battles. Our army only needs to use the boat troops to guard all the dangerous places in the river to curb the Wei army's march into Jiangdong."

Seeing that Sun Quan's face changed drastically, Zhou Yu had to speak out to calm Sun Quan and tell Sun Quan not to be too scared.

But things have reached this point, so how can Sun Quan not be afraid?

no.

And at this moment, news came from Liu Biao that Liu Biao was a little hesitant about the support, because he was worried that the Wei army in Runan, Yingchuan would take the opportunity to attack him, so he thought he would wait and see if the Wei army really attacked Jiangdong, it would not be too late for him to send troops to support him.

Zhou Yu was extremely angry about this.

"The mouse's eyes are short-sighted! Didn't Liu Jingsheng hear his lips and his teeth become cold?"

Although Zhou Yu scolded him angrily, Liu Biao still seemed to be not going to do anything.

What a joke? There are also Wei troops in the Central Plains who are eyeing Nanyang County, and there are also Wei troops in the Shangyong who are eyeing Xiangyang. How could Zhou Yu know how dangerous it is?

Your soldiers are not enough, mine is enough?

Liu Biao didn't plan to help Zhou Yu now. He wanted to continue to wait and see the situation, so that he could have enough room for himself so that he would not have room for nothing at that time and there was only one dead end.

He was afraid of Guo Peng, and he felt that as long as Guo Peng didn't come and beat him, he would be satisfied enough. If Guo Peng came, he might not be able to beat him, so he would continue to run south.

He has no confidence in whether Zhang Yun and Cai Mao can defend Nanyang and Xiangyang.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to find help from all over. He could only continue to ask Liu Biao for help with one-tenth of hope, telling the truth that his lips and teeth were cold, while holding on to face the powerful Wei army alone and preparing to fight to the death.

Fortunately, the Wei army was not good at water battles.

Although I heard that Zhang Liao continued to train soldiers' water combat capabilities after the previous battle and was constantly building warships, how could he fight against the master after becoming a monk?

After Zhou Yu led the triumphal army back to Jingkou, he began to actively investigate the advance trends of the Wei army and actively investigate the combat readiness of the Wei army. Then he was also actively preparing for war, deploying troops, increasing weapons and strengthening vigilance in various important naval camps along the river.

Zhou Yu planned to rely on the Yangtze River defense line to fight a life-and-death battle with the Wei army, so that the Wei army could see the advantages of the Wu army in the navy.

I was careless before and didn't know that the Wei army had very powerful weapons, but this time it was different.

Zhou Yu was prepared in advance and would never take the initiative to attack, but only know how to defend. Instead, he wanted to see how the Wei army would attack him. Will he use a method they are not good at attacking?

In that case, Zhou Yu would be sure.

There was no preparation before. This time, small boats that could maneuver quickly occupied the main part of the Wu army's naval division. The rapid maneuver of these small boats was enough to make the Wei army's catapult useless.

That thing needs to be aimed at launch, and the gap between every two launches is very long, which is the weakness of the catapult that Zhou Yu observed.

Yes, Zhou Yu's observation ability is very keen. In response to the possible attacks of the catapult, Zhou Yu used small warships that could maneuver at high speed to design a large number of high-speed maneuverable small warships, intending to make the Wei army at a loss.

A large number of experienced generals who had fought with the Wei army before were transferred to the front line.

Sun Quan serves as the head coach, and Zhou Yu is his assistant and actually the head coach.

Generals of the royal family, Sun Jing and Wu Jing, were his right-hand men.

The veterans of the three dynasties, Huang Gai and Han Dang, led the charge.

General Dong Xi and General Ling Cao fought on the front line.

Recently, the young general Lu Meng, who has emerged in a sudden force, has also been transferred to the front line.

It can be said that this is the only remaining elite force of the Sun Wu army after the previous catastrophe, and Zhou Yu was all concentrated by his side.

Zhou Yu also gathered 30,000 siege troops and 10,000 troops left by Sun Quan.

This is all the main force that Wu Jun can take out at the moment, and it is all the vitality that Zhou Yu has preserved for the Wu Kingdom through hard work.
