Chapter Ninety-Three: Mei Zhoulang is here
Zhou Yu's second vote to Sun Ce was well known to Zhang Xiu in later generations. The difference is that in history, Zhou Yu abandoned Yuan Shu, but this time he turned his back on himself and threw himself into Jiangdong.
After Zhou Yu took office and lived in the nest, Zhang Xiu entered Huainan. When Zhang Xiu was defeated in three battles and Yuan Shu occupied Jiujiang County, and took advantage of the civil strife in Lujiang to sweep the remnants of Yuan Shu and Liu Xun, and the entire Huainan was no longer able to resist Zhang Xiu's forces, the original Yuan Shu master Bo Yanxiang, Changshi Yang Hong, and Lujiang engaged Liu Ye each issued a notice to Huainan County and surrendered various subordinate counties in Huainan.
Juchao County, under the rule of Zhou Yu, also accepted Zhang Xiu's rule. After that, Zhang Xiu reused the famous scholar Yuan Jian and vigorously rectified the rule of Huainan officials. Zhou Yu, as the head of the nest, was also summoned to Shouchun by Yuan Lian, and even met Zhang Xiu.
At that time, the written examination was set up on the altar of earth built by Yuan Shu, Yuan Jian took the exam, and Zhang Xiu was dressed in a military uniform as the chief examiner and invigilator.
I remember that when Yuan Jian read Zhou Yu's name, Zhang Xiu turned his head and looked at Zhou Yu, but after a while, Zhang Xiu looked away, but Zhou Yu wrote down the incomprehensible heroic face.
Whether it is a written test, an interview, or a secret on-the-spot interview and investigation, Zhou Yu successfully passed Yuan Lian's review of the new generation of officials, and was officially appointed as the magistrate of Juchao County in Lujiang County again.
The head of a large county in the Han system is called "Ling", that is, a county order. Small counties are called "long", that is, county magistrates. In fact, Juchao has reached the standard of a large county, but the incompatibility between the central court and the local government makes it extremely difficult to change the establishment. So Zhou Yu also served as a county magistrate for a period of time.
Until he took office again, Zhang Xiu never showed much favor to anyone, and Zhou Yu did not find any shining points in this new prince, so the first encounter ended without incident.
When Zhang Xiu looked like a bandit, Zhou Yu didn't recognize it immediately. But when Zhou Yu was released by Zhang Xiu at night, and when he saw Zhang San in a cloth dress in the moonlight, the first-class Zhou Yu in his memory still remembered Xuanwei Hou Zhang Xiu for the first time.
Mountain people usually don't like to wear clothes. On the one hand, the climate is hot, and the cloth of this era is too rough, not easy to dissipate heat and sweat, and it is easy to be scratched by branches and thorns in the mountains and forests......
Only at night, when mosquitoes are raging or when the weather is cold, in the caves of the villages, do the mountain people put on cloth clothes. Whenever they were in ambush and murder and robbed the road, the mountain people would also wear cloth clothes to prevent mosquito bites in the grass. Moreover, in this era when the texture of cold weapons is very poor, cloth clothes can still have a certain defensive effect on ordinary blunt knives. Besides, every time they robbed the road, they would get new clothes, and the mountain people didn't care much about the cloth clothes being scratched by thorns at this time.
Zhou Yu just observed Zhang Xiu's walking steps and gestures, and he could find that this "Zhang San" was too different from the simple and casual mountain people. Coupled with the undisguised momentum that Zhang Xiu naturally exuded, Zhou Yu, who had only seen Zhang Xiu's side, immediately determined that this was Zhang Xiu, the current Pingkou general and Xuanwei Hou Zhang Xiu who is now in Huainan!
Zhang Xiu didn't speak along the way, but just took Zhou Yu out of the mountain village and walked towards a mountain.
When he went out of the mountain gate, Boss Du noticed it, but if it was in the past, Boss Du would definitely send two mountain people to keep an eye on Zhang Xiu to prevent his son-in-law from leaving his daughter and running away. But today's Boss Du hesitated for a while, and in the end he didn't make a sound, but just turned around and walked towards his daughter Erya's house.
Boss Du has to have someone follow Zhang Xiu every time, and he does not hide the actions of the monitors. In fact, the watchers have never shied away from their mission. Even though they can't beat Zhang Xiu, they can completely cover by themselves with rough skin and thick flesh and extraordinary endurance, and go back to report the news alone. At that time, Boss Du doesn't mind showing the demeanor of Danyang mountaineers climbing mountains and wading in the vast mountains for three hundred miles!
Zhang Xiu found that no one followed him this time, but he didn't show any expression. In fact, Zhang Xiu planned to run away from the cave room on the night of candles or the next morning, but it was precisely because of that night that the cave room changed Zhang Xiu's mind.
His original plan was to go to Jing County to get a lot of money to recruit Zu Xun and intercept Zhou Yu halfway. Now it seems that it is perfectly possible to hire locals to do the work, even if the commission is at the cost of one's own marriage.
The two walked for nearly half an hour, and finally climbed the steep peak where Zhang Xiu jumped off the cliff a month ago.
Zhou Yu didn't know why, Zhang Xiu first said to Zhou Yu: "This mountain is more than 30 zhang high, the mountain on this side of the river is rugged and steep, and the foot of the mountain is full of rocks. But if you can cross three feet, you can fall into the river and live. Zhou Gongjin, dare to try? ”
Zhou Yu's eyebrows were all open, at this moment, he completely concluded Zhang Xiu's identity from Zhang Xiu's thick Guanzhong and Western cool words, and also judged that Zhang Xiu was testing his courage, and straightened his tall and majestic body at the moment, raising his eyes and lips: "Why don't you dare, life should be a fight, if you live like a rat, how can you be called a husband?" Don't say that this is only thirty zhang, and I dare to jump in the mountains! ”
At the end, Zhou Yu suddenly changed his words: "But people like those who still have 100,000 soldiers and horses in their hands and still have the support of the people of several counties, but they are cowardly because of a defeat and surrender the city, but they are not worthy of being called a husband who stands up to the sky and the earth." If it weren't for the fact that this person was still a little bloody, because he was humiliated by his widow and launched a rebellion, this person would not be enough to be called a man! ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu did not hide his contempt for Zhang Xiu, and directly explained why he still looked down on Zhang Xiu after Yuan Shu, and finally chose Sun Ce, who had a grassroots foundation.
And what Zhou Yu said is precisely what Zhang Xiu himself is most helpless and unable to explain. Even though he returned to Shouchun after defeat, Zhang Xiu made various preparations for launching a mutiny at the beginning of the surrender of Cao, but Zhang Xiu's preparations were really unknown to him. Until the moment when the mutiny broke out, only Zhang Xiu was the only one in the entire Huainan who had insight into the overall situation, and only Jia Xu guessed that Zhang Xiu was manipulating a lot of things behind the scenes at the moment of the incident.
When all the civil and military forces of Zhang Xiujun lamented that the mutiny was so smooth and so overwhelming, who knows how long Zhang Xiu secretly created momentum for the atmosphere of this night? When the generals of Cao Jun panicked and scolded Zhang Xiu for being despicable, shameless and capricious, who knew that Zhang Xiu had designed all this early.
is as shrewd as Cao Mengde, as a party, he figured everything out almost in one night. But he naturally wouldn't tell anyone about this, to show that Zhang Xiu's heroism was paralyzed and careless. And Zhang Xiu herself is not likely to "sell melons and boast about herself", and exaggerate her own wisdom and martial arts.
The parties to the incident could not see what was going on behind the scenes, and the onlookers from the outside saw the mutiny as a mutiny caused by accident. regarded Cao Cao's "obscene **" as the beginning of all these incidents, as the beginning of Zhang Xiu's dissatisfaction with Cao Cao, and as the fuse of the mutiny. The mutiny is summarized as a simple single sentence: "Zhang Xiu was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's prostitution and mutinied". And where did he know that Zhang Xiu had been planning for a long time, and Cao Cao's secret communication with Zou could only be regarded as an excuse, a tidbit of Zhang Xiu's entire performance!
Perhaps, this is the real deception. If everyone can see this level, I am afraid that Director Zhang Xiu's deception will be difficult to successfully stage under Cao Cao's shrewdness and suspicion.
Zhou Yu couldn't see Zhang Xiu's deeper level, but from another angle, he interpreted how hidden everything Zhang Xiu did for the Shouchun Mutiny, how deep Zhang Xiu's methods and tactics were, and how deeply Zhang Xiu's understanding and application of the sentence "never expected".
Zhou Yu, who was a member of the bystanders, was also "never expected", and he and other bystanders still think that Zhang Xiu is still stuck in the fact that this is just a general person who surrendered because of the defeat of Qiyang and finally succeeded in the mutiny!
Especially after Zhang Xiu began to build Shouchun City on a large scale, and put on a posture of resisting Cao's army to protect Huainan with a strong city, Zhou Yu regarded Zhang Xiu as a cowardly man who did not dare to forge ahead because of a defeat in Qiyang and only cared about self-preservation.
Not only does Zhou Yu think so, but in fact Zhou Yu is just a representative of the world's views on Zhang Xiu. is as smart as Lujiang Liu Ye, but until now, he has only been a shit luck for Zhang Xiu, because he caught Cao Cao's "lewd **", which is morally absolutely taboo, and was able to regain the position of the princes of the world.
No one knows the legend of my brother, whether it is misunderstood, whether it is laughing at me for being cowardly and afraid of war, Zhang Xiu doesn't care too much about these things. In fact, if you care about it, you can explain it, this kind of thing has never been innocent with your mouth.
So at this moment, Zhang Xiu was not angry because of Zhou Yu's contempt, and even on the contrary, he was secretly happy because he had deceived Zhou Yu by deceiving the world.
Zhang Xiu didn't speak, just stepped backwards. Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but chuckle: "Why, I only dare to ask the captured person to jump off the cliff, but I am far away from the danger, is this still done by a man?" ”
Zhang Xiu's face was still calm, his eyes were just level, and he didn't look at Zhou Yu much. But his hands untied the cloth he was wearing, and after taking it off, he stood naked in the moonlight.
Still didn't say a word, Zhang Xiu suddenly kicked off and ran straight to the cliff, and in Zhou Yu's jaw-dropping, he jumped directly off the cliff under the night.
Zhou Yu finally stopped saying contemptuous words, stood on the top of the cliff and looked down, but saw Zhang Xiu falling into the river, splashing bright waves under the moonlight.
Then I turned my head to look at the top of the mountain, and there was no one. If you run away at this time, the chances of success are quite high. Although Zhou Yu was not familiar with the Danyang Mountain Road and the River, Zhou Yu, who was familiar with marching and fighting, had his own way to escape.
Zhang Xiu in the river burst out and shouted to Zhou Yu what Zhou Yu had said a minute ago: "Life should be a fight, if you live like a rat, how can you be called a husband?" Don't say that this is only thirty zhang, and I dare to jump in the mountains! ”
The calm and wise Governor of Zhou instantly untied his clothes and checked the width of the cliff. In the end, I decided to follow Zhang Xiu's example and jump off the cliff with a booster.
Watching Zhou Yu's little white face retract from the top of the mountain, Zhang Xiu, who was looking up in the water, also drummed in his heart, if this thing took the opportunity to run away, everything he did would be in vain, including sacrificing his chastity to marry the second girl.
However, a few seconds later, a white figure was seen leaping out of the cliff under the bright moonlight, making a parabolic falling motion.
