Chapter 178: An Unexpected Harvest
This time he turned back to Jiangxia, Zhou Yukun did not bring anyone else, but took a boat alone to inform Liu Bei at night.
After talking with Zhou Yuqian, Qin Yue also strode out of the palace in high spirits, looking at his proud appearance, Zhou Yukun knew that he had succeeded, and the lords and ministers of the other party were not Qin Yue's opponents at all.
Without asking him what was going on in the palace, Zhou Yukun first told him all of Cao Cao's small actions, and then said that Zhou Yuqian had actually decided on the alliance. However, Qin Yue's face changed suddenly when he heard the news, and he said astringently: "I already expected Sun Ce's matter, he didn't come to the palace at all today, and I already understood it when he let his subordinates deal with me. However, Cao Cao's matter is a little unusual, I really don't understand the meaning of his blind provocation, but there must be some conspiracy in this! ”
So, after explaining to Qin Yue and asking him to take care of Zhou Xiaorou and Yin Xue, he got on the boat lightly.
After a night's trip, the sky was just white, and the cool breeze blowing in the early morning made Zhou Yukun shiver. Looking at the streets with a few people, most of them are vendors who get up early in the morning to do business, while ordinary people are still immersed in sleep.
After getting off the boat, Zhou Yukun didn't rush to find Liu Bei and them, because they might not have come to the dream realm yet. Suddenly, he saw a stall in front of him that had just been set up, touched his empty stomach, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Thinking so, Zhou Yukun walked straight to the stall and sat down at a table: "Shopkeeper, bring me four flatbreads and a bowl of hot porridge, this weather is really a little cold!" ”
The shopkeeper was a man in his forties, who looked very honest, and when he heard his words, he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, guest officer, it will be fine immediately." If you feel cold, sit down next to my hot stove and warm up. ”
When Zhou Yukun heard this, he hurriedly sat on the edge of the hot stove, and suddenly felt that the chill on his body was dispelled a lot. I saw that the shopkeeper quickly presented a bowl of hot rice porridge and put it on the table: "The guest officer will drink the porridge first, this cake will have to wait a while." ”
Zhou Yukun nodded, he was indeed a little hungry and cold now, so he picked up the bowl and drank it "hiss". To be honest, the taste of this porridge is very average, but it is good to warm it up.
It didn't take long for the restaurant to serve four freshly baked flatbreads. Well, in comparison, the taste of this cake is okay, and it seems that there is still some confidence in daring to set up a stall by this pier. While biting on the flatbread, he drank the hot porridge in a big gulp.
But at this moment, Zhou Yukun, who was enjoying breakfast, suddenly saw a sneaky person appear in the corner not far away. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but soon noticed that the guy was holding a bulging cloth bag in his hand, which seemed to contain something. The man looked around for a long time, and when he noticed that there were not many people around, he quickly took out a stack of thick things from his bag.
Zhou Yukun, who had good eyes, instantly saw the appearance of that thing, it seemed to be a stack of letter paper? Slightly stunned, Zhou Yukun suddenly woke up, letter paper! Didn't Jianye City also receive a lot of inexplicable letterheads? Could it be that this guy is Cao Cao's subordinate, and then wants to spread the news in Jiangxia City?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, threw a few copper coins on the table, and walked quickly towards the man. Because he had already seen that this guy was secretly stuffing stationery into some shops and people's homes that had not yet opened, and he had already run through several of them in the blink of an eye.
With an angry snort, Zhou Yukun stepped on his feet, and went straight to this person, and in a few sprints, he had already come behind this person, and his hands quickly grabbed his arm and pressed him to the ground. A smile appeared on the corner of your mouth, you really want to give me a big gift!
……
Jiangxia City, too shou Fuzhong.
Zhang Fei slammed the person Zhou Yukun caught before to the ground, and snorted a little angrily: "Big brother, I just interrogated this kid, but there is no useful news at all, he is just an ordinary person, and he only came out to send these letters after receiving other people's money." You see what to do, right? ”
Zhou Yukun frowned, although he had already guessed that this was the result, he was still a little unwilling in his heart. But Liu Bei sighed: "Alas, third brother, let him go, since you don't know anything, forget it, as long as you don't do this kind of thing in the future." ”
Zhang Fei opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the serious face of his eldest brother, he didn't dare to say any more, and walked towards the outside of the house with a light mention of the people on the ground, but his mouth was still complaining in a low voice: "If you want me to say, this kind of guy will kill him directly, he dares to help that Cao Cao, and it is not enough to die a thousand times, hum!" ”
"Big brother, what do you think of the news about Dongwu just now, they agreed to this alliance, but I hope we can send a few generals to support, but those thousands of infantry don't need it, after all, this battle is mainly on the water, and they can't play a big role." Zhou Yukun asked.
Liu Bei smiled lightly, but asked back: "That Zilong, what do you think we should arrange, I want to hear your opinion." ”
Zhou Yukun glanced at Liu Bei in amazement, obviously not expecting him to ask like this. "Uh, my opinion? I think that first of all, the thousands of infantry will definitely stay to defend the city, after all, there is still a threat from the Jingzhou army next to us. Secondly, soldiers alone are not enough, and a few guards and strategists must be left behind to deal with emergencies. In the end, I feel that the second and third brothers must go, and their strength will be of great help in the battle. ”
"Well, that's right, Zilong, you have indeed grown a lot during this time." Liu Bei patted him on the shoulder with relief: "However, according to my thoughts, this time we don't have to stay at all, but we should attack with the whole army to assist Dongwu in the battle." After all, if our resistance to Eastern Wu fails this time, what is the use of leaving even a small Jiangxia City? ”
"What? All out? Zhou Yukun looked at Liu Bei in shock, this answer was something he didn't expect at all, and for some reason, after hearing this decision, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly, as if something earth-shattering would happen in the near future. No, big brother, you can't do that. Although I also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, we can't give up all retreats, and we must leave people in this Jiangxia City. ”
Seeing that Liu Bei had no intention of refutating, Zhou Yukun hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "How about this, only two generals and strategists need to be left in the city." Well, Brother Guan Ping and Brother Liu Feng have a calm personality and good martial arts, they can do it, and if they leave Mr. Jian Yong and Mr. Sun Qian to assist them, this Jiangxia City will definitely be able to defend it. ”
Perhaps it was Zhou Yukun's persistence that moved him, Liu Bei could only sigh and say, "Okay, since that's the case, let's do what Zilong said." I just hope that this time we can return triumphantly, or we will really be alone. ”
"Then, without further ado, let's leave as soon as possible, we don't have anything to prepare anyway, and we'll leave when they arrive!"
So, at the suggestion of Zhou Yukun, the candidates for Liu Bei's side to fight, including Qin Yue in Jianye, there are a total of seven people: Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhou Yukun, Qin Yue, Huang Yueying and Zhou Cang.
Then, this first battle between the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu officially began, but Zhou Yukun sometimes had an ominous premonition in his heart. This war may not be as simple as it seems, but is everything going back to the trajectory of history?
