Chapter 394: Broad-mindedness 3/4
Mrs. Wu felt sorry for her son and was ready to let someone take Sun Ce to Luoyang for treatment, but Sun Ce refused. He is a dignified little bully, how can he ask for someone? Don't you know the truth that "the king does not see the king"?
He ordered someone to call his younger brother Sun Quan, his friend Zhou Yu, and the important minister Zhang Zhao over, held Sun Quan's hand on the bed, and sighed to everyone: "I can't live anymore, and now the world can't be said to be peaceful. Gongjin, Zibu, you have to assist my brother well! ”
He handed the seal ribbon to Sun Quan, and said: "If the people of Jiangdong are raised and decided in front of the two armies, Qing is not as good as me; Be virtuous and capable, so that everyone can do their best to protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as Qing. Qing Yi remembered the difficulties of his father and brother to start a business, and he was good at himself. ”
Sun Quan cried and worshiped the seal. Sun Ce said to Mrs. Wu again: "My son is at the end of his life, and he can't serve your old man. Now that he has given the seal ribbon to Zhongmou, his mother will teach him well. The old ministry left by my father and brother must not be neglected. ”
Mrs. Wu cried and said, "Your brother is still so young, I'm afraid he can't take on such a heavy responsibility, so what should I do?" ”
Sun Ce said: "Zhongmou's talent is ten times better than mine, enough to take on a big responsibility. If the internal matter is undecided, you can ask Zhang Zhao; If you are undecided on foreign affairs, you can ask Zhou Yu. ”
He called his clan brothers and his wife again, and commanded them one by one, and then his eyes were black, and he fainted. Seeing this, Sun Quan burst into tears. Seeing Sun Ce fainting, Zhou Yu, who was standing on the side, suddenly snatched the seal ribbon in Sun Quan's hand. Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Zhou Yu, are you going to rebel?" ”
The Sun clan and the generals guarding outside also made a big uproar, and Mrs. Wu said angrily: "What does Gong Jin mean by this? ”
Zhou Yu sneered: "You all think Bo Fu is dead, I want to save him from life." Seal ribbon will go to Luoyang with me and Bo Fu! ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around were stunned. They looked at each other and said, "Yes, the lord is still here, why bother to spread the word to Zhongmou?" ”
Mrs. Wu was overjoyed and said, "This is the best, I will persuade him to go to Luoyang, but this kid just won't listen, Gongjin can arrange manpower quickly and rush to Luoyang as soon as possible." ”
Sun Quan secretly hated in his heart, but he showed a happy look on his face, and said, "Yes, it should be like this." ”
So Zhou Yu ordered five hundred soldiers and horses, and personally escorted Sun Ce, who was in a coma, to Luoyang. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals followed the soldiers and horses to the edge of the Yangtze River before stopping. On the other side of the Yangtze River, under the rule of Yuzhou Mu Lu Fang, 500 men and horses are counted, and thousands of people go over, but I am afraid that it will be regarded as an invasion.
Zhou Yu brought several big cars, day and night, and it only took three days to rush to the outside of Luoyang City. Although Sun Ce's injuries worsened, Zhou Yu was also tired and exhausted. As soon as you close your eyes, you can pass out immediately. But Zhou Yu endured the vomiting sensation in his chest, and sent Sun Ce into the palace first, and then fell to the ground.
By the time he woke up, he was lying on a hospital bed in the army hospital. Seeing that he was awake, someone on the side said, "Gongjin, you are finally awake." ”
This person's voice was very familiar, Zhou Yu turned his head to look, and saw a person standing on the side with a smile, not Sun Ce, but who was it? Before taking Sun Ce to the north, he was suspected by many people, but he never showed a little weakness, at this time, I don't know why, but suddenly tears welled up from his eyes.
"It's really good," Zhou Yu's eyes became more and more tears, and the sheets were wet, "Bo Fu, it's great that you're okay!" ”
Sun Ce's eyes were also red, and he forced a smile and said, "Jiangdong Zhoulang is such a hero, why is he still crying at this time?" ”
Zhou Yu choked up a little and said, "I'm just.... It's just that when I see you, I feel happy in my heart........"
"Gong Jin!" Sun Ce was moved, stepped forward and shook Zhou Yu's hand, and said while crying: "I was still blaming myself just now, if I killed you because of me, it would really be a hundred deaths!" Thankfully, you've finally woken up. ”
"Okay, two big men hugging each other and crying, it's really ugly!"
Sun Shangxiang couldn't stand it anymore on the sidelines, and shouted: "The general said to let you rest for a few more days, and then I want to see you!" ”
For the celebrities of this era, Chen Cheng has been able to look at them indifferently, but since Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have come to Luoyang, of course they want to see each other. He once read such a sentence, "The fragrance of old clothes, leave him Xun Ling; New mistakes, Gu Zhou Lang". Xun Yu and Zhou Yu are both personable and talented gentlemen, and they are forgettable to see.
Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo have turned into dust along with Cao Cao, and Zhou Yu has almost followed in Xun Yu's footsteps. Chen Cheng sometimes wonders, is time passing too fast? In addition to the fierce battles in distant Central Asia, he has lived a long period of peace, and it is probably because of this that he feels that time flies.
Three days later, in the palace of the North Palace, Chen Cheng hosted a banquet to entertain Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. In addition to him, only Sun Shangxiang and an infant baby were accompanied. Sun Shangxiang hugged the child over and showed it to Sun Ce, with a happy expression on his face, "Big brother, look, is he cute?" ”
Sun Ce took the child over and teased it for a while, and then returned it to Sun Shangxiang, who asked the nurse to take the child down.
Chen Cheng raised his glass to Sun Ce and said, "We are relatives, but we have never been able to meet, and today we finally met." ”
He saw that although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu still had sick faces on their faces, they could not hide their majestic and heroic spirit, and he was a little happy in his heart. Chen Cheng said: "Since the two of you are here, you can play around Luoyang." If you have any needs, you can also tell me about them. ”
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other and said, "There is really one thing that needs to be asked for the help of the general." ”
"Please."
"Can the general send some men to help Yangzhou make artillery?"
Well, Chen Cheng suddenly lost interest, in the past two years, he has listened to this kind of request to the point that his ears are almost calloused. Of course, artillery is good, but if the supporting system can't be improved, it's useless. Hey, Chen Cheng suddenly remembered that Yangzhou's development is very good, much faster than Jingzhou.
So he said, "Yes, yes, but what are you going to pay with?" ”
"Pay the bill?"
Chen Cheng said as a matter of course: "If you want something, you have to pay a price." Could it be that you are planning to ask for nothing? ”
Sun Ce was slightly angry in his heart, and said in his heart: If it weren't for the sake of his sister and nephew, he would have turned his face with this guy now!
Zhou Yu said: "But we don't have any special products in Jiangdong, and we only have some rice, so we can't pay the bill with rice?" ”
His original intention was to mock, but Chen Cheng actually nodded and said, "That's okay, you can go and discuss with the people in the military department to determine the price and the way of cooperation." ”
In fact, after inviting some Shinrikyo priests, Jiangdong was already able to make bronze cannons, but those priests were thinking about preaching and pulling people's heads all day long, and they were busy for a while at first, and after they made a replica of the Tiger Squat Cannon, they didn't care much about making cannons.
Jiangdong's self-produced artillery is a little less powerful and heavier, but it is quite a good job. The only problem is that prices have been high. Now he took the opportunity to ask Chen Cheng for help, but it was only in the spirit of playing three shots with and without dates. There may be no dates on the tree, but there may be, first hit the three poles, maybe some dates will fall?
"When Bo Fu and Gong Jin were in Jiangdong in the past few years, did they have any strange things?"
Sun Ce said in his heart: There are a lot of strange things, but I can't tell you.
He shook his head and said, "Nothing else. ”
Zhou Yu also said: "Jiangdong has been peaceful in recent years. ”
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I heard that you have opened up the South China Sea, and there are many casualties?" ”
Hearing this, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both shocked, this is Jiangdong's secret, how come the general also knows about it in Luoyang?
Chen Cheng saw that the faces of the two of them changed slightly, smiled slightly, and said: "The South China Sea is prone to malaria, which is what you often call miasma, which has always been regarded as a terminal disease, but I know that there is a medicine that can prevent it. ”
Sun Ce blurted out: "Really? ”
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, I generally don't lie. ”
Sun Shangxiang helped on the side: "The general has always practiced what he says, and there is no lie!" ”
Sun Ce looked at his sister-in-law, and then at Chen Cheng, who had become unpredictable in his eyes, and a number of thoughts rolled through his heart, and finally asked, "I don't know what kind of medicine?" ”
Chen Cheng said: "In the south, there is a tree called cinchona, its bark can effectively treat malaria, although it is not completely effective, but after use, it can reduce the number of deaths. ”
Later, he went on to say some of the characteristics of the golden chicken frost tree. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and they both saw puzzled expressions in each other's eyes. Although there is no war between the imperial court and Jiangdong now, the faint hostility between the two sides has always existed, why would the general be so kind and explain such an important matter?
If the bark of cinchona is really effective, Koto's strength will grow rapidly......... Could it be that there is fraud in it?
But what can this deceive them? They are not fools, they will definitely send someone to test it first to see if it is useful or not, and then they will promote it. So, is it because for Sun Shangxiang's sake, he takes special care of Jiangdong? But this is different, if you really want to take care of it, wouldn't it be better to directly help build an arsenal?
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu thought about it for a long time, and they didn't know what Chen Cheng's intentions were, so they could only put it aside for the time being.
Today's banquet is a family banquet, and there are no outsiders around, Chen Cheng accompanied him to say some interesting things, and asked someone to take a big globe out, pointing to the land and islands above to tell some interesting things.
When they were in Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu felt that their territory was big enough, but when they looked at it on the globe, let alone a mere Jiangdong, even if it was the whole of China, it didn't take up much space.
Perhaps, the general is so broad-minded because he has seen too much on the globe?
