Chapter 152: Meet Zhou Lang Again
Liu Yong and others waited in the tent for a long time, and suddenly heard the drums and horns in the big camp, and hurriedly went out of the tent to take a look, only to see that the warships in the lake had all gathered troops and docked, and a group of soldiers quickly jumped off the boat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Then the drum sounded, and I saw flags raised high and lined up in neat columns, and the officers and soldiers of the battalions, which had seemed to be chaotic, immediately gathered next to their flags and lined up in neat squares. Then, the drum beat again, the outermost flag moved first, and as soon as the standard-bearer moved, the square team immediately divided into two columns and marched neatly towards the outside of the camp, and when they reached the designated place, they stopped and stood facing each other. Then there is the second and third sides...... One flag after another was unfurled, and after a while, all the officers and men lined up on both sides of the road, extending from the camp gate to the Chinese army camp. Liu Yong couldn't help but secretly admire them when he saw that they acted quickly, their movements were regular, and their steps were uniform, and they seemed to be well-trained.
At this time, the little colonel had already beaten his horse and came to Liu Yong's approach, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and said to Liu Yong: "General Liu, my family is invited." ā
Liu Yong's original intention was not to reveal his identity, and he just found a proper place to briefly talk about Xiao Qiao's matter, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to expel such a big formation and make such a big move, so he couldn't help frowning lightly and asked, "What does your family governor mean?" ā
"Back to General. The governor said that the general should not be lazy when he came to the Jiangdong camp for the first time, so the whole army welcomed the general in person. ā
"And what about your governor?"
"Back to General. The governor of my house is waiting for you in the camp. ā
Liu Yong snorted, and said in his heart, I just said in Xiao Qiao's face that it was a private matter and I didn't want you to come to greet me, but you actually gathered a team to give me a dismount, it's too unreasonable, right? It is bearable, which is unbearable, Liu Yong was extremely unhappy in his heart, so he said to the little colonel: "You go back and tell your governor, just say that General Yang Wei of the Han Dynasty, Mu Xianghou, and Liu Yong, the former Taishou of Liu, have come to visit the governor of Zhou, and ask the governor of Zhou to come out of the account to greet him." ā
Zhou Cang was also indignant, so he asked Liu Yong: "General, what do you mean by Zhou Yu gathering all the soldiers in the battalion this time?" Seems to be trying to scare us. ā
Liu Yong couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this: "Brother Zhou saw it quite accurately this time." Zhou Yu is unhappy in his heart, show us morale, show military might, let us not underestimate his soldiers. ā
"Phew!" Zhou Cang took a sip and sneered, "We have experienced countless wars, and thousands of troops are not afraid, are we still afraid of tens of thousands of people in Jiangdong District?" ā
Liu Yong's expectations were good. At this time, Zhou Yu should have been proud of the spring breeze, trusted by Sun Quan to lead the position of governor, and commanded the three armies of Jiangdong, similar to the current commander-in-chief, it can be said that he has a heavy army in his hands and is in power for a while. However, Zhou Yu felt pain in his heart, because his title of governor was neither a title of a military general, nor an appointment by the imperial court, but an internally recognized position, similar to the regiment commander and battalion commander that Liu Yong set up in Fuyi at that time, and he could not be put on the stage. In terms of merit, Zhou Yu is not worse than Liu Yong, but Zhou Yu is loyal to Sun Ce and Sun Quan, while Liu Yong is Cao Cao, one is a local force, the other is an important minister of the central government, and the rewards he receives are naturally the same. Since the master's son Sun Quan is only a rebellious general and a general who will be too guarded, Zhou Yu, as a subordinate, naturally has a low position, only a central protector, and is several levels away from Liu Yong's title of general.
The little colonel didn't dare to slack off, so he had to hurry back to the camp to report. Zhou Yu's face sank like water when he heard this, and he was silent; The generals were whispering, whispering about Liu Yong's intentions. Lu Su smiled bitterly in his heart, Gong Jin, Gong Jin, since Liu Yong himself said that he came here to do private business, then there is no need to talk about the level of the position or what etiquette to talk about, just talk about it casually on both sides. But you don't listen to my advice, you have to go your own way, you have to assemble a team to show Liu Yong a little color, and you have to complicate simple things. Now that Liu Yong has revealed his identity, he will definitely ask you to come out to greet him, how should you deal with it? Isn't that shooting yourself in the foot? However, Lu Su is Zhou Yu's friend and deputy, and he doesn't come forward, so he coughed lightly and said to Zhou Yu: "Dudu, in my opinion, Liu Yong is asking to see him in the name of General Yangwei, and you will lead the generals to greet him in person, which can not only show the sincerity of Jiangdong, but also show the military might of our naval division." ā
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "What Zijian said is very much in line with me. The herald, and the people will go out with the governor to meet them. Then he said to the little colonel: "When you go back to Liu Yong, you will say that the governor and the others will greet you outside the camp." ā
The little colonel was ordered to go back and tell Liu Yong. Liu Yong bowed slightly, signaling everyone to get on their horses and follow the small colonel slowly towards the camp. There is still a stone's throw away from the camp, only to listen to the sound of drums and music, the flag bearer holds a flag and goes out of the camp gate first, divided into two sides, the flag is embroidered with "Cheng", "Huang", "Zhang...... The surnames of the generals were followed by a group of soldiers with distinct armor, spearmen, broadswords, crossbowmen, and rattan armorers...... All of them are majestic, high-spirited, and not majestic. The last thing that came out was a huge and towering handsome flag, embroidered with the word "Zhou" in Douda. Subsequently, Zhou Yu was dressed in military uniform, riding a white carved saddle and a high-headed war horse, leading the generals of the sailor division out of the camp gate, dismounted one after another, and sat aside.
Waiting for Liu Yong to arrive at the camp gate, Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists, bent down slightly, and said with a smile on his face: "Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu Hou's account, led the generals to greet General Liu. All the generals hugged Zhou Yu's side, and they also hugged their fists and saluted, like the stars holding the moon.
Liu Yong was a little embarrassed to see that Zhou Yu was very respectful, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse, stepped forward, raised his hands weakly, and said with a smile: "The governor doesn't have to be polite, please get up." He arched his hand to the generals and said, "Generals, Liu Yong is polite." The generals also bent down slightly, clenched their fists and returned the salute.
This is the second time Liu Yong has seen Zhou Yu, and I saw that he was tall and jade, handsome, and stood out among the generals. , two black and bright sword eyebrows are obliquely inserted into the temples, a pair of big eyes are as bright as autumn water, and there is arrogance in fortitude. The face is like Fu powder, the nose is like a jade pillar, and the lips are like Tudan. Wearing a bright silver three-pronged handsome word helmet, Zhu Ying is fluttering, full of brilliance, wearing stainless steel calcined chain armor, covered with dark white brocade robe, waist tied with eight treasures beaded belt, a pair of moire tiger head combat boots, and a white shark skin sheath pure steel sword under the ribs, which looks more graceful and extraordinary. Liu Yong couldn't help but think of Fan Chengda's poem praising Zhou Yu, "The heroes of the world, Jiang Zuo's beautiful husband", nodded secretly in his heart, and was amazed.
Zhou Yu stretched out his right hand slightly, and said with a smile: "General Liu, please." Liu Yong also smiled: "Please supervise." Everyone stepped on their horses, Zhou Yu was in front, and Liu Yong followed, slowly walking towards the Chinese army camp. Zhou Yu squinted slightly, only to see Liu Yong smiling and looking as usual, so he said, "General Liu, what do you think of my Jiangdong sergeant?" ā
Liu Yong saw that the soldiers on both sides were sturdy, resolute, stubborn, and majestic, and nodded and praised: "Gong Jin, you are really the master of tigers and wolves." Liu Yong held the reins in his left hand, raised his right hand, waved to the soldiers on both sides, and said silently in his heart: "Hello comrades, comrades have worked hard......" Zhou Yu saw Liu Yong's face full of smiles, how did he know the dirty thoughts in Liu Yong's heart, and thought that Liu Yong really admired the demeanor of the Jiangdong Navy.
When he arrived at the camp of the Chinese army, Zhou Yu placed Zhou Cang and other entourages and Xiao Qiao in the back tent, and he led Liu Yong into the big tent of the Chinese army. The two sat down as guests, and Zhou Yu gave an order, and all the generals also rushed in, lined up on both sides, all with distinct armor and extraordinary bearing. Zhou Yu introduced them one by one, all of them were familiar characters to Liu Yong, Lu Su, Huang Gai, Tai Shici, and Lu Meng...... Except for Cheng Pu, the governor of the right capital, all of them were present.
Among the generals, Liu Yong is most interested in Lu Su. Lu Su is not at all the thin and loyal elder in the TV bureau, nor is he like the impression of being unassertive, clumsy, benevolent and incompetent described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He is only three years older than Zhou Yu, with a burly physique and proficient in martial arts; Bold personality, righteous and squandering money. Zhou Yu once asked Lu Su for help due to lack of food, and Lu Su's family had two rice grains at that time, each with 3,000 hu. Lu Su gave a handful of rice to Zhou Yu without frowning, which shows his generosity. At the same time, Lu Su was also an outstanding politician. When Lu Su defected to Sun Quan, he planned a plan to dominate the world, "The Han family cannot be revived, Cao Cao cannot be eliminated, and he is a general. There is no suspicion of such a scale. Who? The north is honest and multi-tasking. Because of its many affairs, he eliminated Huang Zu and invaded Liu Biao, which was extremely popular with the Yangtze River, according to it, and then built the emperor to map the world, and the cause of this high emperor was also. Sun Quan praised this foresight and wisdom, and trusted Lu Su, saying that he was far-sighted and had extraordinary insight, and every time he encountered a major event in the future, he would let him counsellor plan. When Cao Cao personally conquered Jiangdong, the ministers all persuaded Sun Quan to surrender, and Dulu Su said: "Everyone can surrender, but the general cannot surrender." The general descended to Cao, and he wanted to return to his place in peace? If you descend to Cao, you can't be a feudal marquis, you can't ride a car, you can't ride a horse, and you never have a few people, how can you be called lonely in the south! He worked with Zhou Yu to persuade Sun Quan and Liu Bei to join forces, and finally won the victory of Chibi, defeated Cao Cao, divided the world into three parts, and established a century-old foundation in Jiangdong.
After the two sides finished saluting, Zhou Yu was not polite, and asked first: "I don't know what General Liu is talking about when he comes to my water village?" ā
Liu Yong was stunned, didn't I make it clear in my letter that it was a private matter? Do you want to say no when you say that? His eyes rolled sharply, Liu Yong had already thought of a way to deal with it, and said: "Since Governor Zhou asked so, he will say it directly." It's just that this matter is related to the safety of Jiangdong and is very confidential. Governor, can we talk about it in another account? ā
Zhou Yu was stunned, not knowing whether what Liu Yong said was true or false, and was hesitating, Lu Su said: "Governor, since it is a confidential and important matter, according to Lu Su's opinion, it is better for the governor and General Liu to go to the back to discuss in the tent, and I and the generals will retire first." ā
Zhou Yu nodded blankly and was about to speak, but Liu Yong smiled and said, "Brother Zijian is far-sighted, can you also stay and talk together?" ā
Lu Su was a little surprised and glanced at Zhou Yu. Because although he is now Zhou Yu's deputy, his position is only a lieutenant, and his position is too low. He didn't know that Liu Yong had been friends with him for a long time and had long admired him. Zhou Yu was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Since General Liu ordered it, Zijian will stay." He raised his head and said to all the civil ministers and generals: "You all go down." ā
When everyone went out, Zhou Yu arched his hand and said, "General Liu, please sit down for a while, and let Zhou change his clothes." ā
Liu Yong smiled and said politely: "Governor Zhou, please take care of yourself." ā
Zhou Yu said to Lu Su again: "Brother Zijian, you have to accompany each other." ā
"Governor, please."
Liu Yong and Lu Su tasted tea for a while, chatted a few words, and Zhou Yu came back in a Confucian costume, looking even more like a crown of jade, graceful and suave. Zhou Yu couldn't wait to ask: "General Liu, you said that Jiangdong is in trouble, is this matter serious?" ā
"Nature is true. Cao Gongxin destroyed Yuan Shao's father and son, collected all the land of Hebei and the four states, and unified Hebei. Now Cao Gong adopted Guo Jia's strategy and personally conquered Wuhuan. In less than two years, he will be able to exterminate Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang brothers, and march south, first Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and then Wu Hou. Governor, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong District, can he defeat Cao Gong? ā
Lu Su frowned and said, "Duke Cao has made an oath with my lord and Liu Jingzhou, how can he go back on his word?" ā
Zhou Yu sighed: "Zijian is really a humble gentleman. But that Cao Cao is capricious, and it is difficult to have faith at all, and Lu Bu is a lesson from the past. He turned his head and said coldly to Liu Yong: "Why did General Liu tell Zhou Yu about such a confidential matter?" ā
Lu Su was also puzzled, and also looked at Liu Yong. Liu Yong's eyes swept over the faces of the two, smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Liu Mou does not hide it, he has followed Yun Chang's actions and said goodbye to Cao Gong." ā
Zhou Yu and Lu Su were shocked, looked at each other, stunned and couldn't believe it. After a while, Lu Sufang asked, "General Liu, are you now serving Liu Biao in Jingzhou?" ā
Liu Yong shook his head and said, "Brother Zijian, Liu Biao has no room for people, nor does he have the ambition of a bird, so it is useless to invest in it." Liu Yong originally wanted to fight hard and resist Cao Cao, but although there were tens of thousands of soldiers in Ruyuan, Liu Yong was shallow in learning, stupid and dull, and fighting against Cao Gong was tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car and a mayfly shaking a tree. But if you join forces with Jiangdong, it will be very different, you and I will work together to win the battle. Liu Yong should have visited General Sun first, but both of them were ministers of General Sun's dependence, and if both of them agreed with Liu Yong's words, General Sun would not be a problem. ā
As soon as Liu Yong's words came out, Lu Su's eyes showed a look of anticipation, while Zhou Yu's face was as usual, and he stared and thought for a while: "General Liu, this matter is very important, please allow the two of us to go out and discuss one or two before making a decision." ā
Liu Yong nodded and said, "The governor is please." ā
Zhou Yu and Lu Su came to the back tent. As soon as he sat down, Lu Su hurriedly said: "Governor, what Liu Yong said is very reasonable. If Cao Cao pacifies the Yuan clan, he must first conquer Liu Biao, and then fight Jiangdong. With the momentum of Cao Gong, neither Jingzhou nor Jiangdong can fight against it alone. However, Liu Biao and the lord have a grudge against their father and cannot form an alliance. Liu Yong's wisdom is outstanding, Fuyi has tens of thousands of horses, the city is tall and heavy, in Lu Su's opinion, it is better to make friends with Liu Yong and resist Cao Cao, which is the right policy. ā
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Zijian, all the counties in Luoyuan where Liu Yong is located are in Jiangbei, and we will form an alliance with them to fight against Cao Cao, that is, my Jiangdong will pay money and grain, and it will cost people and effort to help him resist the enemy, what is the benefit to us?" It is better to refuse it and let Liu Yong resist Cao Cao alone, one is to find out the truth of Cao Jun, and the other is to consume Cao Cao's strength. I'm sitting in Jiangdong and watching the tiger fight, taking advantage from the side, why not? ā
"Dudu, how can Liu Yong's strength be able to defeat Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army. If Liu Yong is defeated, the Yangtze River is shared by Cao Cao and me, with the power of Jiangdong, how to resist? I also hope that the governor will think twice. ā
"Zijian......" Zhou Yu shook his head, looked up and saw that Lu Su still wanted to say more, so he waved his hand and said: "Zijian, I have made up my mind, so be it." ā
Lu Su was helpless, so he had to nod and say, "Yes." ā
Zhou Yu comforted: "Zijian and relax. Cao Cao is not accustomed to water warfare, even if he is overwhelmed by heavy troops, what can I do. I have my own way of breaking the problem. If I, Jiangdong and Liu Yong, join forces to defeat Cao Cao, wouldn't it be a problem to raise tigers? ā
Lu Su thought about it and felt that what Zhou Yu said was indeed reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Yes." ā
When the two returned to the camp, Zhou Yu said, "General Liu." What you said is very important, Zijian and I can't make the decision, so the general should go to Chaisang to discuss this matter with my lord. ā
Liu Yong saw Zhou Yu's resolute attitude and knew that it was useless to say more, so he said, "Okay." Then let's talk about my private affairs here. (To be continued.) )
