Chapter 300: Escape
When the team marched to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city stepped forward, saw that Ling Tong led the team, and hurriedly gave a deep salute, although Ling Tong was only a partial general, but because he made a lot of military exploits when he was young, he was known as a prestige in the Jiangdong army, and his temper was quite irritable, and the Jiangdong sergeant wanted to retreat whenever he saw Ling Tong.
But at this time, although the soldier guarding the city was unwilling to negotiate with Ling Tong in his heart, his duty was to take a step forward after giving a salute and asked with a smile on his face: "I don't know where the general is going at this time?" β
"General Ben wants to go to the river outside the city to send an old friend, if you are fine, retreat quickly!" Although Ling Tong stopped when he heard this, there was a look of impatience on his face, and he casually agreed, and then waved his hand to himself on the horse.
"Please forgive me, if you don't know who is in the car, once there is an accident, the villain's life will be immediately lost, the general is just a gesture, don't embarrass the villain."
Jiangdong military discipline is still very strict under Zhou Yu's governance over the years, so Ling Tong did not get out of the city gate at once It was also expected, I saw that Ling Tong was stopped by the sergeant guarding the city, and there was a faint anger on his face, and the sergeant really regretted why he had to provoke him, but the words had already been spoken, and naturally there was no reason to take it back, and he could only stand firmly in front of Ling Tong's horse, waiting for Ling Tong to speak.
"The person sitting in the car is my Jiangdong Soldier and Horse Governor Zhou Gongjin! The governor was seriously ill and bedridden, and he has just recovered today, and he temporarily resigned from the position of governor due to physical reasons, and intends to visit a famous doctor elsewhere, what else do you have to ask? β
When Ling Tong said the end, he was already holding the sword at his waist in his hand, obviously if that person dared to ask questions again, this sword would probably be unsheathed.
These days, Zhou Yu is seriously ill at home, and the rumor that he is very likely to die has been crazy in the Jiangdong army, and the sergeant who defended the city has naturally heard of it, and today he heard Ling Tong's words, and his face showed a look of surprise, Zhou Yu did not die, but resigned from the position of governor, which is definitely a first-class event in the Jiangdong territory, so this person was unable to react for a while.
"Don't be angry, I'm fine, this rule was originally formulated by me, and it is interrogated according to the rules, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Zhou Yu's voice came from behind, and the sergeant guarding the city saw that among the carriages that were very close to him, a person was poking his head out, and after a closer look, it was Zhou Yu.
At this moment, the person guarding the city hurriedly knelt on the ground, Zhou Yu's status in the heart of the Jiangdong sergeant is too high, although Ling Tong said before, Zhou Yu has resigned from the position of governor, but in the heart of this sergeant, Zhou Yu is still an irreplaceable person in the Jiangdong army.
"The Governor just goes to recuperate, and I wait for the Governor to recover and return!" Under the leadership of the sergeant, the entire squad guarding the city bowed to Zhou Yu.
Looking at the army he brought out, Zhou Yu's eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, but he knew that this was not the time to be hypocritical here, because in the carriage behind him, there were not only his wives and children, but also the families of Ling Tong and Lu Su, Huang Gai and others, and Lu Su and Huang Gai and the men in their mansions were hidden in this small group of sergeants at this time.
So, in the sound of everyone's bowing, Zhou Yu waved his hand, and Ling Tong took the lead and led the team out of the city.
After leaving the city, Ling Tong led the people to turn a corner, and seeing that the people in the city could no longer see his whereabouts, he hurried to the west of the shore of Xiangshui, where among the reeds, Gan Ning personally led several small warships waiting.
This day was the happiest day Sun Quan had in recent years, after dividing the seal letter of the governor of Nadu into two and handing it over to Lu Meng and Lu Xun, Jiangdong's military power and decision-making power finally fell into his hands.
Although Sun Quan knew in his heart that the talents of Lu Meng and Lu Xun were more than a step worse than Zhou Yu, the two had advantages that Zhou Yu did not have, that is, Sun Quan came first in everything, and their strategic vision coincided with Sun Quan.
Under such circumstances, Sun Quan knew that many matters in Jiangdong would be at ease, and there would no longer be a situation where the courtiers led by Zhou Yu and Lu Su joined forces to refute the strategy after he had just put forward a strategy, and he believed that in the future, in the court of Jiangdong, only the ministers would discuss how to implement the strategy he proposed, not refute.
Just as Sun Quan triumphantly announced that he would hold a dinner party in his mansion to congratulate LΓΌ Meng and Lu Xun on their new governors, and took this opportunity to bring the officials close to the two, and then caused everyone to disperse, a small work sent by Sun Quan, who had been waiting outside the door, hurriedly entered the house.
"After I left, what did Zhou Yu do?" As early as after Sun Quan left, he sent people to observe around Zhou Yu's mansion, but all he wanted in his heart was to see what Zhou Yu was doing at home, so he didn't let Na Xiaozuo report back to him as soon as there was a situation.
"After the lord left, Zhou Yu and Lu Su stayed in his mansion for a while, and then Lu Su left alone, and soon after he took Huang Gai and Ling Tong to his mansion, and the three of them were in the mansion for a long time, Ling Tong sent people to take Zhou Yu and his wife away in a carriage and went out of the city."
"Out of town? When will the gates be out? Have you returned? When Sun Quan heard this, his brows furrowed, if it was said that Lu Su informed Huang Gai and Ling Tong of Zhou Yu's awakening, and the three of them went to visit together, Sun Quan would not think much about it, but Zhou Yu's body had just recovered a little, why would he let Ling Tong take him out of the city, which made Sun Quan faintly worried in his heart.
"It's been nearly two hours, and I haven't returned." After saying this, Sun Quan's heart sank again, Zhou Yu, a seriously ill person, took his cronies and his wife out of the city and had not returned yet, which couldn't help but make Sun Quan think of a possibility that he never thought Zhou Yu could do, that is, to escape.
"Quickly send someone to Zhou Yu's mansion to investigate, and at the same time go to Ling Tong's mansion and ask where he went!" Sun Quan thought for a while and hurriedly gave an order, Zhou Yu resigned from his heart, he was happy, but if Zhou Yu fled and joined others, Jiangdong's reality would be completely exposed to the eyes of others.
And when Sun Quan was upset, Zhou Yu and others, who had been out of the city for a long time, were already sitting on the boat arranged by Gan Ning in advance, and took advantage of the wind to quickly go to Changsha along the Xiangshui.
