Chapter 54 Fun Fight
Chaisang, Zhou Yu Fudi.
In the study, Zhou Yu was looking at the statement that had just been written, and his brows were tightly locked. This is a statement to dissuade Sun Quan from sending troops to Jiangxia at this time, and the reason for writing this statement is that Zhou Yu learned from his conversation with Lu Ren last night that the Shanyue tribes are likely to attack the backyard of Eastern Wu when Sun Quan sends troops to Jiangxia.
Zhou Yu didn't believe Lu Ren's words, but he didn't believe them at all. In fact, the various departments in Shanyue have always been a big trouble in the backyard of the Soochow power group, and I don't know how much trouble has been caused before and after. In the end, it was not until the middle and late stages of Sun Quan's reign that the Shanyue tribes were reluctantly pacified by Sun Quan.
In this regard, Sun Quan also forcibly recruited people from various departments in Shanyue, and grabbed these people from the mountains and threw them into the plains, on the one hand, let these people engage in development, and on the other hand, naturally to strengthen the control over these people. But then again, it was precisely because Sun Quan came to such a hand that promoted the development of the plain area on the south bank of the Yangtze River to a certain extent. However, it was still the Song Dynasty that really formed the "rich land of Jiangnan" in later generations.
In short, Lu Ren's words made Zhou Yu very worried, because Zhou Yu had also led troops to quell the rebellion of the Shanyue tribes, and he knew what the situation was like in the Shanyue tribes. If Lu Ren said something else at the time, Zhou Yu would probably only scoff at it, but only there would be movement on Shanyue's side, which would touch Zhou Yu's heart.
However, Zhou Yu did not mess around, although this statement was written, it was not sent to Sun Quan immediately, but sent Xizuo to various departments in Shanyue to inquire about the detailed movements that night. It's just that where do you get these meticulous works for a while? With all kinds of conditions at that time, a response in ten days and half a month was considered fast, and Sun Quan's side was preparing to raise troops to attack Jiangxia next month, and the time seemed a little tight, so now Zhou Yu was thinking about whether to send the letter in his hand directly to Sun Quan.
While thinking about it, the doorman entered the room and reported: "Enlighten the lord, someone outside the door asks to see." ”
As he spoke, the doorman handed over the name thorn. Zhou Yu took it and glanced at it casually, but he was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Please!" ”
The doorman took the order and left, but as soon as he took two steps, Zhou Yu called: "Wait, remember to serve well!" If you lose your manners between words, I can ask you! ”
The doorman was startled. It is said that there must be a master, and Zhou Yu is a very high-spirited lord, and the attendants in his house will be a little arrogant, although they are not arrogant to ordinary visitors, but they are really a little above the top. But at this moment, I saw Zhou Yu say something like this. The doorman naturally knew that the visitors outside the door were extraordinary, and they were not the ones who could put on a face.
Not to mention that the doorman hurriedly went to greet the guests, he only said that Zhou Yu held the famous thorn in his hand, his face was a little cloudy, and he secretly said in his heart: "What does this Lu Ren want to do?" Before, Shang Xiang said that he would come to me later, but what did he want to do when he was so formal? ”
At that time, the general request for an audience was nothing more than informing the doorman of his name. But if it's a famous thorn, it's a very formal visit. And with Lu Ren's name and identity, plus he had already got acquainted with Zhou Yu last night. It stands to reason that he didn't play so formally at all, so Zhou Yu felt a little inexplicable.
"Is it because he wants me to let his fleet go offshore as soon as possible? Joke, I didn't stop him, he really wanted to go, just go. Although he trafficked a lot of food this time. And he also exterminated a group of Jiang/thieves on the river, but according to the official document process, he just went to report for a record, who could really stop him and prevent him from sailing offshore? That's it. Let's see what he's trying to do. ”
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu thought about it a little more, and ordered someone to invite Sun Shangxiang and Xiao Qiao, who were in the backyard. Didn't Lu Ren want to run to play official? So Sun Shangxiang, the person who introduced him, is of course good at the same time.
Without further ado. After some tossing, Zhou Yu and Lu Ren took their seats in the living room. To Zhou Yu's surprise, Lu Ren brought three women with him, among which Minchan and Lu Lan Zhou Yu already knew each other, so there was no need to introduce them, and the third was Cai Yan. In the name of Cai Yan, even if he is as proud as Zhou Yu, he has to adjust his attitude to deal with it carefully.
Such two people met, and etiquette and politeness were naturally indispensable, so after another toss, Lu Ren, who was finally clear, finally made his intentions clear, to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than the urgency of the Haichang disaster, and I hope Zhou Yu can release it as soon as possible.
Zhou Yu also responded with an official tone, feeling that it was almost enough, and then asked Lu Ren: "The 20,000 grains and rice purchased by Lu Servant are intended to be used for disaster relief?" ”
Lu Ren shook his head: "There are only 10,000 Hu, and the other 10,000 Hu is the food for the Lu and Mi clansmen who have settled in Yizhou this year and next year." Anyway, I can't let my own children starve to death just to help others, right? Besides, my ten thousand Hu is just to postpone the Haichang disaster for a while, so that Wu Hou can have more time to prepare the food for disaster relief.
"After all, in this flood disaster, there are so many people, where can I, a businessman, be able to help them all? So I thought about it carefully, even if there are extenuating circumstances, but the law cannot be abolished, so I hope that Gongjin can release half of my merchant ships first, and let these half of the merchant ships go to Haichang with disaster relief grain and rice first, so that I can stay in Chaisang for a while with peace of mind. If there are some things, you can also do them one by one without anxiety. ”
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, what kind of moth did you Lu Renlai come up with such a hand? And listening to the meaning of Lu Ren's words, it seems that he is not in a hurry to leave Chaisang, is it true that he is really like what Lu Ren said last night, he is going to have a good time on Poyang Lake for a while?
It's just that before Zhou Yu could speak, Sun Shangxiang on the other end shouted hello. After all, in Sun Shangxiang's view, Lu Ren can be regarded as taking care of both ends of the world, at least he can not only provide timely disaster relief, but also take care of the face of the Dongwu official family, so there is no reason not to applaud.
Zhou Yu couldn't tell what Lu Ren wanted to do at this time, but it was reasonable, Zhou Yu really couldn't stop Lu Ren's decision. Thinking about it again, as long as your Lu Ren's people stay here, then what does it matter if your fleet runs away? What's more, it's only halfway through. As long as you Lu Ren stay in Chaisang, every time you stay for one more day, Liu Biao will have a little more suspicion of you Lu Ren, then the final result can only be that you Lu Ren in Jingzhou can no longer go, and Zhou Yu's goal will not be achieved?
Since this is the case, Zhou Yu is naturally happy to sell Lu Ren such a favor. And then, the two sides had a rather friendly meeting, and in just a few words, half of the ships of Lu Ren's fleet set sail offshore. Zhou Yu was in power in Chaisana, and an order was sent to the public, and Lu Ren's fleet could set off.
At this point, after the negotiation, Lu Ren's appearance seemed to be relieved, and then he smiled at Zhou Yu: "I have long heard that Gong Jin is good at music and rhythm, and he is not talented in the next class, and he also asked himself to be quite a good palace businessman. It's just that last night, whether it was just now, we didn't have the leisure to play with music. Now that the business is over, I don't know if Gongjin is willing to teach a thing or two? ”
Zhou Yu was happy when he heard this, and said in his heart that you Lu Ren stayed in Chaisang, could it be that you just want to study more music with me? From Zhou Yu's point of view, he is very willing to get closer to Lu Ren, and the closer the better. Because the closer their relationship is, the more suspicious Liu Biao will be of Lu Ren. If Liu Biao is really provoked and Lu Ren is thrown into prison in a fit of anger, won't Zhou Yu's goal be achieved? If he sends some people to rescue Lu Ren at that time, I am afraid that Lu Ren will not be able to return to Eastern Wu.
So, naturally, the next step is the musical instrument service. And Zhou Yu, as the master, naturally wanted to come to a song for Lu Ren to appreciate, and then Lu Ren responded to the song "Royal Sword Jianghu" with a bamboo flute. Then after the two sides tasted each other, Lu Ren's eyes drifted to Cai Yan. Cai Yan first said two polite sentences, and then sang a song "White River Cold Autumn" with Lu Renqin.
At this time, strictly speaking, the couple Lu Ren and Cai Yan had issued a war letter to Zhou Yu, and with Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao's musical accomplishments, how could they not understand the truth in this? With Zhou Yu's personality, it is even more impossible to admit defeat to the couple combination of Lu Ren and Cai Yan at this time. Therefore, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao immediately played as a couple to show that they would take over the battle.
This kind of elegant battle without gunpowder smoke was not uncommon in that era, but the situation where the two warring parties were both husband and wife was rare among the rare. For a while, the music in Zhou Yu's mansion continued, as if it was a grand music event. Not only were the people present intoxicated, but even the people passing by outside Zhou Yu's Mansion stopped a lot and listened to the music wafting out of Zhou Yu's Mansion.
In the guest room of Zhou Yu's mansion, Lu Su, who stayed here but did not show up, had already closed his eyes, and people were also gently shaking their heads and shaking their heads. If one day this Lu Ren can also belong to Wu Hou's curtain and dance with Gong Jin in his spare time, what kind of grand event would it be? ”
Not to mention what others think, just talking about the "battlefield" here, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao are already a little unable to take the move. It's no wonder that Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao can be regarded as music masters at that time, but Cai Yan basically knows the music they know; And Lu Ren, as a traverser, knows more about music than Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao can know. To put it mildly, for example, Lu Ren and Cai Yan can play music like "The Blue Danube", but where did Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao learn this kind of music? Therefore, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao lost a mess in the number of music.
Gradually, the fight between the two sides became a unilateral performance by Lu Ren and Cai Yan, and Zhou Yu's face was naturally a little ugly. But fortunately, Zhou Yu is sincerely admiring at the moment, after all, this is not a struggle related to interests. If there is a struggle between group interests like Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu will have the heart to kill...... (To be continued.) )
