In mid-September, Wancheng lectured on martial arts.

Zhou Yu wore a scarf, a moon-white gown, a plain leather belt around his waist, and a long jade body, with his handsome face and clear voice, which was pleasing to the eye. He walked slowly around the hall and explained the battle of the previous winter. He held a white jade ruyi in his hand, and tapped his palm from time to time to help his tone.

The students gathered together, not only sat neatly in the hall, but also stood under the corridor, even the courtyard wall was lying around, countless pairs of eyes followed Zhou Yu's movement, but no one spoke, holding their breath one by one, for fear of listening to one less word.

"Although this war has passed, there are still places worth our careful analysis, and there is one thing I would like to remind you that commanding a battle is not a game, accidents happen from time to time, and the choice at that time may not be the best choice, and may even be the wrong choice. When we study combat examples, we must have a spirit of questioning, and we must not think that the decision of a famous general is necessarily right, and we should take it as a guideline and dare not change it. If that's the case, no amount of study will be of any avail. Therefore, the art of war: soldiers are impermanent, and when measures are adapted to local conditions, the law can be used to survive a hundred battles. ”

Before the words fell, the crisp bell rang for the end of class, and the quiet class suddenly became lively, and the students of the non-math hugged him and surrounded Zhou Yu, some lectured to him, some wanted to ask him for an autograph, and some simply wanted to stand beside him for a while and take a closer look at the young man's famous Mei Zhoulang.

Yin Duan sat in the back hall, looked at the excitement in front of him, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As soon as Gongjin comes, my martial arts hall is the most lively place." It's a pity that he is about to go on an expedition, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come back, and the martial arts hall is deserted again. ”

Xun You said with a smile: "Yin Gong is joking, there are more and more students in the martial arts hall, General Zhou saw that Yin Gong was too busy and worried that Yin Gong was too tired, so he came to help and share his worries for Yin Gong." The favor is so fresh, he comes once in a while, it is natural and fresh, if it comes to cultivating talents, Yin Gong should be the bull's ear. With the disciples of the martial arts hall as the backbone, we have the confidence to win no matter what kind of opponent we encounter. ”

Yin Duan's face was filled with a smile of relief. When Sun Ce invited him out of the mountain and let him serve as the sacrificial wine of the martial arts hall, he was still a little unhappy, but now that he thinks about it, this is simply the most suitable position for him, which is not tiring and fame and fortune. To have such an achievement in his twilight years, he died without regrets.

"Alas, if it weren't for the big Southern Expedition, I would have wanted to keep you for a few days." Yin Duan stroked his snow-white beard, his old eyes were bright, revealing indescribable joy, but there was a hint of extraneous meaning.

Xun You said with a smile: "Yin Gongjing is extremely thoughtful, do you want to go to Runan to see your great-grandson?" ”

Yin Duan laughed. "Gongda is smart, in a word."

"Yin Gong, let's wait. Within 100 days, newborns should not see outsiders. Mrs. Yin is a relative of Yin Gong, General Sun is sorry for Mrs. Yin, and he will definitely send someone to invite him in 100 days, and General Zhou should have come back by then, and there are more war examples to talk about, and it will not be a problem to teach Yin Gong for a few months, and then Yin Gong will live in Pingyu for a few more days. ”

Yin Duan nodded repeatedly. "What Gongda said is reasonable, then I'll wait patiently."

Zhou Yu came in, talked a few words with Yin Duan, discussed some matters, and then got up to say goodbye. Xun You went out with him and told Yin Duan that he wanted to go to Pingyu to see his granddaughter and great-grandson. Zhou Yu's heart suddenly moved. He thought of Cai Yong from Yin Duan, Cai Yong hadn't seen Cai Yan for several months, maybe this time Cai Yan should be brought to Xiangyang and let their father and daughter get together for a while.

There was something in his heart, and Zhou Yu's feet unconsciously got up. He was tall and long, and there was wind under his feet, and Xun You had to trot all the way to keep up. The two of them walked out of the door of the martial arts hall, the carriage was already waiting at the door, Zhou Yu walked over quickly, and was about to get into the car, when a young man suddenly rushed out next to him, opened his arms, and blocked Zhou Yu's way.

The guards reacted immediately, and before the boy could stand firmly, they pushed him to the ground, and the others quickly entered a state of alert, and the front of the martial arts hall was suddenly murderous, and many students who were stranded here also stopped to avoid misunderstanding.

"General Zhou, General Zhou, I'm not a bad person......" the young man shouted loudly.

Zhou Yu looked around, waved his hand, signaled the guards to let go of the young man, and then stretched out his hand to pull the young man up, bumped the dust on his body, and said gently: "Who are you, why are you waiting for me here?" ”

"General, my name is Guo Youzhi, a native of Shunyang. The first eldest father was the ...... of Lujiang Taishou"

Xun You frowned and stretched out his hand to stop Guo Youzhi. "Are you the son of Guo Yi, the former Huiji Taishou?"

"Yes...... Yes. Guo Youzhi said in a snort.

Zhou Yu looked at Guo Youzhi. Guo Youzhi's clothes are half-worn, but they are still clean. He was thin and thin, pale, and his eyes were very large, full of helplessness and sadness. accompanied his father for nearly two months, without any pretense, he was a pitiful down-and-out young man, and Zhou Yu couldn't bear it for a while.

"Where's your father?"

"In the Otei."

Zhou Yu was about to say more, but Xun Yu grabbed the conversation. "When did you arrive?"

Guo Youzhi's eyes were a little timid, and he hesitated for a while. "Former ...... Day before yesterday. ”

Zhou Yu also understood, and his sword eyebrows raised lightly. Guo Yi led the army to obstruct Sun Ce's entry, was defeated by Sun Ce, sentenced to the crime of rebellion, and sent Chang'an by car, but actually stayed in Wancheng Duting for two days without leaving, Guo Youzhi found here again, it was clear that there was someone behind the operation, and gave Guo Youzhi an idea, let Guo Youzhi come to beg him. Guo Yi is Sun Ce's enemy, how can he save Guo Yi? But ignoring it doesn't work, listening to Guo Youzhi's statement, his eldest father is likely to have something to do with the Zhou family, someone in the Zhou family may be his former official, and ignoring it is contrary to the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and will be ridiculed.

Needless to say, there must be someone watching from the crowd next to him, and if he doesn't handle it properly, it won't take more than two days for rumors to spread all over the city against him. If it was normal times, it would be fine, but when he was about to go on the expedition, this time was too coincidental.

Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Xun You, and Xun You nodded slightly. Zhou Yu beckoned and asked people to take Guo Youzhi and go to Duting together. He and Xun You got into the carriage, closed the door, glanced at the crowd around him lightly, and lowered the curtain.

"Who does Gongda think is behind it?"

Xun You said: "It may be Hebei or Guanzhong, but the most suspicious may be Yizhou." ”

"Liu Junlang or Cao Mengde?"

"Cao Mengde entered Yizhou, Liu Junlang and the court turned against each other, and it is unlikely that he will be at odds with me at this moment. In my opinion, it should be Cao Mengde, let the general take care of himself, so that he has time to calmly attack Yizhou. ”

Zhou Yu laughed softly: "When the army is plotting, Cao Mengde is secretly making trouble while sending people to greet him, he is really not tired of cheating." ”

Xun You snorted, disdainful.
