Chapter Seventy-Four: The Fog Fills the River

Early the next morning, before dawn, on the Yangtze River, overnight was filled with fog, standing by the river, looking at it, the things beyond a zhang have been seen clearly, as if in a white vast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Soldiers, in today's battle, we may die, including me, all the same." Zhou Yu didn't sleep all night, but his spirit was surprisingly good, but his face was a little pale, and after taking the wine bowl from Lu Meng's hand, he raised it high towards the soldiers standing in front of him, and said angrily: "But we are soldiers, and since the day we join the army, our lives are no longer our own." ā€

In front of him, there are 1,500 soldiers, which is actually a bit demoralizing, but Zhou Yu is not worried, these 1,500 people are not only the elite of the army, but also the soldiers who have followed Zhou Yu for the longest time, to put it mildly, unless Sun Ce is resurrected, otherwise, let alone go to Jingzhou, even if Zhou Yu wants them to rush directly into Jianye to cut Sun Quan, they will not frown, even if they know that it is death.

"I have arranged the future, if you die in battle, you don't need to worry about the small family, you will have someone to take care of you!" Zhou Yu looked at everyone, took a deep breath and said, "Get on the boat." ā€

"Governor, I'd better go." Lu Meng pulled Zhou Yu and said in a deep voice: "Jiangdong can be without Lu Meng, and there can be no governor!" ā€

"I may not die, Ziming said this, I was discouraged, that is, Zhuge Liang was prepared, and the number of wins and losses was also five or five, not to mention, Zhuge Liang might not be able to guess." Zhou Yu patted Lu Meng's shoulder and said, "Also, Jiangdong, no one can do without, but I, Zhou Yu, can do without." ā€

"How can the Governor say that?" Lu Meng shook his head: "The governor is the pillar of Jiangdong, and Jiangdong cannot do without the governor." ā€

"Just talk to me about this, but don't say it in front of others, be careful of causing death!" After taking a deep look at Lu Meng, Zhou Yu patted Lu Meng on the shoulder and said, "Remember, if I can't come back, if there is anything I don't understand, discuss with Lu Xun more, this person's ability is not under me." ā€

"In the end of his life, he will only serve the governor!" Lu Meng said categorically.

"This world is very big, and there are many capable people." Zhou Yu shook his head, put on a white cloak, and looked at the river covered by fog, the soldiers in white clothes were connecting the boats together with ropes, so as not to get lost.

Zhou Yu turned his head and looked at Lu Meng and said: "Remember, closely monitor Jiangxia's movements, once Jiangxia's troops and horses are mobilized, don't hesitate, immediately send troops, capture Jiangxia first, and then talk about others." ā€

"Whoa!" Zhou Yu's words sounded a bit like explaining the aftermath, Lu Meng suddenly felt very uncomfortable, but in the face of Zhou Yu's gaze, he had to nod and agree, seeing Zhou Yu shake his cloak and board the boat, under the leadership of the water ghost, soon, hundreds of boats disappeared into the thick fog, and even a vague figure could not be seen as far as the eye could see.

Thinking of Zhou Yu's general words before explaining the aftermath, Lu Meng only felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, so he waited silently by the river, maybe when the fog dispersed, the governor would return triumphantly.

Above the river, it seems that you are suddenly in an endless nothingness, except for the sound produced when the boat rows across the river, the whole river is as silent as death.

"Young Master." On Zhou Yu's boat, a middle-aged man wearing white armor came to Zhou Yu's side, sat down with Zhou Yu, looked at the river, and said with a smile: "The young master seems to value Lu Meng very much?" ā€

The middle-aged man is Zhou Yu's family will be named Zhou An, and his relationship with Zhou Yu is like the relationship between Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Sun Quan, almost watching Zhou Yu grow up, but Zhou An is not as capable as Huang Gai, but his loyalty to Zhou Yu is by no means inferior to Huang Gai and others' loyalty to Sun.

"He is a general, but unfortunately no one can recognize his potential." Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

"Young master, this time, it seems that he has a will to die?" Zhou An looked at Zhou Yu and frowned: "The little master is still young, has the young master ever thought about their orphans and widows, if they don't have the young master, how will they survive in the future?" ā€

A look of pain flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he shook his head and said: "I can't say that I will die, if I can break through Jingxiang, I naturally hope to meet Lu Bu for a while, and I will be ashamed of the past!" ā€

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the girl's voice and smile back then, but when he thought back at this time, Zhou Yu was stunned to find that the face that once haunted him had become blurred under the baptism of the years, and all that was left was the hatred for Lu Bu.

The years are like a ruthless bone scraper, many things will gradually fade with the passage of time, if a few years ago, every time I heard the news, Zhou Yu would feel like a knife, but today, Zhou Yu also has his own wife, and also gave birth to a son for himself, at this time to hear these news, there is just a faint bitterness and regret.

"Then why ......" Zhou An looked at Zhou Yu puzzled, what Zhou Yu said to Lu Meng before felt that he was simply explaining what was going on.

"Uncle An, do you know about Zhongmou?" Zhou Yu shook his head and suddenly asked.

"This ......" Zhou An smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The old slave is a martial artist, but he doesn't have the ability to recognize people, but it seems to be a little different from General Sun, maybe this is called the posture of an emperor, right?" But I always feel that I am not happy when I am with General Sun. ā€

The Posture of the Emperor? Perhaps!

"Why does the young master ask this? But what's the problem? Zhou An looked at Zhou Yu and wondered.

"Actually, there's nothing to worry about." Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Now Zhongmou respects me, it's not really because I'm irreplaceable, although I'm conceited, but I also know how many talents Jiangdong has, Lu Su and Lu Xun's talents, none of them are under me, Zhongmou respects me because I am Bofu's righteous brother, and I have a share of the credit for Jiangdong's foundation." ā€

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Zhou An looked at Zhou Yu puzzled.

"If it's Bo Fu, naturally there is no problem, he is confident that he has the ability to control me, that guy is always so confident for no reason." Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled: "But if you change to Zhongmou, it will be different." ā€

"Since following Bo Fu, I have been too sharp, half of the Jiangdong soldiers, half of them only recognize me and do not recognize Zhong Mou, Uncle An also said, Zhong Mou has the posture of an emperor, but Uncle An may not know, this emperor is the most suspicious, since Zhong Mou took office, quietly He Qi, Song Qian, Tai Shici, these former loyal to Bo Fu, the fierce generals, elite soldiers were transferred to suppress Shanyue, although there are reasons for Shanyue, it is also to divide my military power."

Zhou Yu actually noticed these things a long time ago, but he could only hold them in his heart, and now on this big river, the fog is filled, and everything is isolated, and he can finally say many words hidden in his heart, which even Lu Meng has never said.

"Zhongmou is jealous of me, and unlike Bo Fu, Zhongmou's methods are quite ruthless, especially for his own people." Zhou Yu sighed: "Of course, over the years, I have stationed troops in Chaisang, and I have made it look like I want to subdue Jing Xiang, which can be regarded as calming some of his thoughts, but this is not enough." ā€

"As long as I'm in the day, Zhongmou won't be at ease." Zhou Yu looked at the foggy river, and said with a bitter smile: "At first, he will only target me personally, but as time goes by, his jealousy will become deeper and deeper, and now, for my Zhou family, Zhongmou will remember a little bit of incense, but this incense will become thinner and thinner with my existence, and the jealousy of me will gradually transfer to my family." ā€

"It's not just Zhongmou, but also those families in Jiangdong, it's like this, I am always pressed for a day, and they will eventually turn into resentment." Zhou Yu looked at the vast river and said faintly: "When this resentment erupts, my Zhou family will suffer a catastrophe." ā€

"In that case, why do you have to work for him? With the young master's ability, no matter which prince he goes to, he will not treat the young master slowly. In Zhou An's voice, an unspeakable anger was suppressed.

"Uncle An, you don't understand." Zhou Yu glanced back at the river bank that had long disappeared from sight, and an indescribable light flashed in his eyes: "This Jiangdong foundation was shot down by me and Bo Fu, I can't destroy him with my own hands, if I defect from Jiangdong, there will be a large number of soldiers who will defect, and when the time comes, Jiangdong will really be finished!" ā€

"That young master can't be sent to death because of this!" Zhou An let out a low roar.

"It doesn't have to be death!" Zhou Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "If this battle is won, our army can drive straight in, and Jingzhou will be decided in a battle, and when the time comes, with the great increase in the foundation of our army, Jiangdong will not only need a metropolitan governor, Lu Su, Lu Xun and these people have a chance, invisibly, they can suppress the resentment of the family against me, and as far as Zhongmou is concerned, these people can also be used to suppress me, and with the display of these people's talents, the prestige in the army will be enhanced, and while weakening me, it will also cause Zhongmou's suspicion, so that he will balance and will no longer be afraid of me, Instead, he will rely on me to help him suppress the Jiangdong family, and in that case, this game of chess will be alive. ā€

This is also an important reason why Zhou Yu wants to deliberately open up territory for the Sun family, Jiangdong is too small, can not accommodate too many commanders, and a commander, holding military power, defeat the battle is good, if you win the battle, it is easy to be suspicious of Sun Quan, these years, Zhou Yu wanted to fight Jiangdong, but never succeeded, although there are external factors, but also, Jiangdong internal, is also an important factor that hinders Zhou Yu.

Ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention top talents like Zhou Yu, how can they spare their lives?

"What if you lose?" Zhou An looked at Zhou Yu with some uneasiness, this is the most important thing.

"Defeat?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou An, shook his head and said: "You can't be defeated, if you lose, there is no need to go back, this is the best result for everyone." ā€

Zhou An looked at Zhou Yu, his throat fluttering, but he couldn't speak, and finally turned into a suppressed roar, which spread across the river...... (To be continued.) )
