Chapter 82: The Uninvited Guest
PS: Golden Autumn October! Double Commuter Pass! Waiting for you to fight! Autumn Breeze Asks for Tickets!
Chaisang City, General Zuo's Mansion.
Night!
Outside the court, the autumn cicadas kept making noise, which made people confused.
Liu Bei was dressed in a pale cyan placket, with his hands behind his back, looking up at the endless night sky, looking at the starry dots and the bright moon hanging high.
Liu Bei suddenly felt a cold wind behind him, and then he knew that someone was coming, and glanced back: "Shi Yuan!" There you are? ”
Pang Tongyi arched his hand and bowed slightly: "Hmm! Yes, I'm coming. ”
Liu Bei still looked up at the starry sky, and said indifferently: "It's almost four watches, aren't you resting?" ”
"The lord is worried and humiliated, the lord can hardly sleep, how can the retainer fall asleep easily!"
Pang Tong also looked up at the starry sky and said silently: "The lord is worried about refusing Liu Biao's invitation? ”
"Hmm!" Liu Bei replied directly: "At this time, Jiangdong is undecided, and Cao thieves swept through the northern frontier with the power of victory, and it is estimated that they will go south in about a year.
"Hey!"
Liu Bei sighed deeply: "Shiyuan, did I do something wrong?" ”
Pang Tongyi arched his hand: "Lord! If you really give up Jiangdong and instead garrison Yuxian for Liu Jingzhou, this is really a big mistake, and it will chill all those who follow the lord! ”
"Humph! Is it? ”
Liu Bei snorted, showing a touch of disdain, and did not continue.
Pang Tong continued: "The lord has always taken benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of his life, and he has been in Jiangdong for more than two months, and he has been very kind to the people, and he is deeply loved by the people, and the lord refuses Liu Jingzhou's invitation, which will inevitably attract villains, which is nothing more than some wolf ambitions, false benevolence and false righteousness, why should the lord take it to heart!"
Have you ever thought that in the decades since the lord raised the army, there would be fewer such gossips than now? Forgive me for saying something disrespectful, and some people even suspect that the lord is definitely not a member of the Han family, but so what? The lord is still the lord. That never changes! Those who achieve great things are not informal. If the lord can have a thief at this point, then it is likely that the lord has already supported the Han family. ”
"Haha"
A thick smile bloomed at the corner of Liu Bei's mouth, and he said kindly: "What Shiyuan said is extremely true, no matter what a person does. What you do will attract such and such criticism, just like Cao Thief, whether it is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty or a traitor of the Han Dynasty, he always keeps his heart. I've been trying to persevere, and I'm really not as decisive as Cao Thief at this point. ”
Pang Tongyi arched his hand: "So my lord, the most important thing for us next is to pacify Jiangdong before the Cao thief invades Jingzhou, and then join forces to reject the Cao thief!" ”
"Speaking of which, I do remember something." Liu Bei pretended to be suspenseful.
This incident is actually Pang Tong's joke at the beginning, if Liu Bei defeats Zhou Yu and Lu Su, then Pang Tong will send the entire Jiangdong land to him.
Pang Tong grinned. Immediately, he realized: "The land of Jiangdong will be taken by the lord of the unification, and he will make a military order under the will, and he will inevitably sweep Jiangdong before the end of the year." ”
Sweep Koto before the end of the year!
It will take at least two years for the Cao thief to digest and consolidate the power of the Yuan clan, and if Pang Tong can really sweep Jiangdong before the end of the year, then he will have enough time to prepare and turn the entire Jiangdong into his own territory.
At least! At that time, he will have enough ability to compete with Cao Thief.
Pang Tong's expression was very firm, and Liu Bei knew that he was not joking.
After a pause, Liu Bei made up his mind and asked, "Shiyuan! How many centaurs do you need? ”
A sinister smile broke out at the corner of Pang Tong's mouth. Shaking his head, he said: "If you want to take Dongwu in such a short time, you not only need an army, but also two people with the lord!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Bei was curious: "Which two people?" ”
Pang Tong didn't think about it, and said directly: "Lu Zijing and Zhou Gongjin!" ”
Lu Su! Zhou Yu!
Liu Bei is very clear. Since that stop, these two people have disappeared from the world, there is no trace at all, where to look!
"Humph!" Liu Bei snorted coldly, glanced at Pang Tong and said, "Shiyuan! Don't you know? The two of them have disappeared since the last Guangji War, where can I find you? Don't you sincerely look at my jokes? ”
Liu Bei's paintings have a slightly ridiculous feeling. That is, he made things clear, and he was a little disgusted with Pang Tong.
Pang Tong grinned: "How can I not know in the next, but I know in the next that Zhou Yu and Lu Su must be together at this time, and Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao in Chaisang City"
Jiangdong is known as two Qiao, one of which is Da Qiao, who is the wife of Sun Ce, the little overlord; The second is Xiao Qiao, who is the wife of Mei Zhoulang Zhou Yu.
Er Qiao was a song of mountains and rivers that moved Sun Ce and Zhou Yu who happened to pass by, Zhou Yu is known as "the song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu" reputation, proficient in music, and immediately rushed to the depths of the bamboo forest with Sun Ce to find that wonderful movement.
Touching piano sound! Beautiful woman! A handsome boy with majestic hair! The four of them bonded because of the rhythm of music, and finally achieved a beautiful marriage.
Liu Bei took a deep breath: "This matter will be handled by you, if you need my help, come to me directly." ”
Pang Tong bowed his hand: "Thank you, lord!" ”
Liu Bei sighed, and finally showed a faint smile: "Shiyuan, I'm tired, I want to rest, you can go." ”
"Yes!" Pang Tong answered, and then left the corridor.
***********
In the early morning of the next day, Pang Tong monitored the Dadu Governor's Mansion in Chaisang City through the intelligence system generated by the commercialization of Mi Zhu, from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, the Dadu Governor's Mansion has basically formed a huge network, as long as Zhou Yu dares to break in, Pang Tong will know at the first time.
Not only the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Chaisang City, but also all the post houses, wine shops, as long as there are places to eat, drink, and sleep, basically all of them have become areas monitored by Pang Tong.
The entire Chaisang City is loose outside and tight inside, waiting for the prey to bite the hook!
But for several days, not even Zhou Yu's hair was found.
Pang Tong didn't believe that Zhou Yu wouldn't come to Xiao Qiao, so Pang Tong set up another plan.
Ask your lord to go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion at dusk every day to meet Xiao Qiao, although nothing really happened to the two, but it seems that something has happened to outsiders.
When Liu Bei really saw Xiao Qiao himself, that kind of appearance that captivated the country and the city really made him admire, the two talked for about half an hour, Liu Bei also had a rough understanding of Xiao Qiao's knowledge, Xiao Qiao is a talented woman, a rare talented woman.
For three days. Liu Bei went to visit the governor every day, sometimes for a drink, and sometimes for Xiao Qiao to play a song, the originally restrained Xiao Qiao. Under Liu Bei's rendering of maintaining a gentleman's posture, he began to accept Liu Bei little by little.
Liu Bei admired Gong Jin's talent again, but he just used Gong Jin's deep love for Xiao Qiao to force him to comply, and he confessed to Xiao Qiao that he had two beautiful ladies and a four-and-a-half-year-old son, so that he would not have a psychological burden.
this day. Liu Bei still came out of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and rushed back to General Zuo's Mansion in a carriage.
In the dead of night, Liu Bei read at night.
Suddenly, a gust of wind struck, and the candles flickered, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.
Liu Bei yawned and rested on the desk for a while.
In about a moment, the snoring began.
Immediately followed by a figure suddenly falling into the sky, a bright steel knife slashed down at Liu Bei's head.
"Big-eared thief! Die!! ”
This figure is the Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu.
At this moment, a small halberd in the oblique stab struck with a sharp roar through the air. In one fell swoop, Zhou Yu's bronze long sword was forced, and the long sword was transmitted to Zhou Yu, and there was no point of focus in the air, so Zhou Yu flew upside down like a broken kite.
Poof!
Zhou Yu instantly fell out of a few feet away, followed by a group of knife and axe hands outside the door, besieging Zhou Yu!
On the corner of Zhou Yu's mouth, a touch of blood oozed out.
"Big-eared thief! I hate to eat your flesh, sleep your skin! Come on, kill me! ”
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
A few crisp high-fives suddenly rang out. Followed by a wild laugh, a person broke in outside the door, and it was Pang Tong.
Pang Tong laughed and removed the wine gourd from his waist. came to Zhou Yu: "Brother Gongjin! Don't come unharmed! ”
Zhou Yu glared at him carefully, looked at Pang Tong carefully, raised his sword eyebrows, and said angrily: "Where did the demon come from!?" ”
Hahaha
Pang Tong howled a few times, and said jokingly: "Brother Gongjin is really a noble person who forgets things, and thinks that I came to Jiangdong alone." sought a little future, but Gongjin disliked his ugly appearance and refused to entrust him with important tasks, so he abandoned it."
Zhou Yu snorted: "Even if I have to choose now, I still don't need it, don't talk nonsense, if you want to kill, you will kill, if I Zhou Yu frowns, you will raise it!" ”
"What!? Want to die? It's not that easy. ”
Pang Tong said to Zhou Yu in a threatening tone: "You Jiao. Ashamed. The lovely beautiful girl is really amazing! ”
"Brute! What a brute! ”
Zhou Yu's face was hideous, and he kept struggling, but it was a pity that Zhou Yu's dozens of big men had already made Zhou Yu obedient and couldn't move, Zhou Yu had no choice but to spit directly on Pang Tong: "If you dare to touch half of Xiao Qiao's hair, even if I become a ghost, I will never be able to bypass you!" ”
"You Zhou Yu is a coward!!"
A sharp voice came from behind the screen, followed by Liu Bei's hands behind his back, staring at Zhou Yu on the ground with burning eyes.
Zhou Yu was stunned, wasn't Liu Bei lying on the case fake?
Indeed, just when Liu Bei flashed out from behind the screen, "Liu Bei" who was lying on the desk stood up, bowed and retreated.
Zhou Yu is still defeated! Not even a stand-in was killed, and it was obvious that every step of his own hand was in the midst of a stack of calculations, what a frustration it was!!
"It's a shame that Xiao Qiao can't sleep well for you! It's a shame that Xiao Qiao is like a jade for you! It's a shame that Little Joe sacrificed so much for you! I Liu Bei really didn't expect that the dignified Zhou Gongjin turned out to be a coward! ”
Liu Bei shook his long sleeves and waved his hand: "Since he Zhou Yu is unwilling to protect Xiao Qiao, then it is useless, kill it!" ”
Pang Tong hurriedly gave up his hand: "But the lord"
Liu Bei waved his hand: "Xiao Qiao, I'll tell him that this man is not worthy of him!" (To be continued.) )
