On March 18, the 11th year of Jian'an, Liu Cong, the ruler of Jingzhou, instructed Huang Zu to guard Jiangxia City at the same time, he was responsible for allocating grain and grass to support the people and horses of Wu Jingzhou, and then rode the white horse Snow King and took his wife Yuan Ying out of the city.

At this time, outside Jiangxia City, 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers were ready to go, after Liu Cong came, an order was issued, only the sound of the cannon was heard, Wei Yan led the troops first, marched to Yuzhang, Zhao Yun and Deng Bao each led 10,000 troops, and then embarked on the journey to Wuchang,

Besides, after Liu Cong's "Asking for Wu Xuanwen" was delivered to Chaisang, Sun Quan saw it, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and regretted: "It's bad, it's broken, it's a hornet's nest, my mother's Lu Meng, I had a bad idea, I led thousands of troops to attack Jingzhou, and it didn't hurt Jingzhou's bones, but it annoyed Liu Cong and led the troops to kill it, how is this good." ”

At this time, Sun Quan was thinking of sending someone to summon Zhou Yu over to discuss how to deal with it, but a stack of words came from outside the door: "Metropolitan Governor Zhou Gongjin asks to see him." ”

Sun Quan hurriedly ordered to come in,

I saw Zhou Yu's face full of panic, and he came in angrily and said, "Zhou Yu has seen the lord." ”

Sun Quan waved his hand and said impatiently: "Gong Jin, come over quickly, seeing that the Jingzhou soldiers are about to be killed, you still have so much etiquette, come and tell me, you didn't see Liu Cong's "Asking Wu Weiwen". ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and asked: "What kind of text, "Asking Wu Wuwen", I haven't seen it, but the scout came to report, saying that most of the Jiangxia sailors were dispatched to block the camp of the sailors at the wharf of Chaisang Port and the mouth of Poyang Lake, so that our sailors could not enter and exit.

There was also a scout to report, saying that Liu Cong led more than 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers, and had set off from Jiangxia, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, one was led by Zhao Yun, and the other was led by Deng Bao, and under the command of Liu Cong, they went to Wuchang to kill together. ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he muttered again: "It's bad, it's broken, mother's Lu Meng, in the end, I stabbed the hornet's nest, how is this good." ”

Sun Quan said and handed Liu Cong's "Asking for Wu Xuanwen" to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin will take a look at what this Liu Cong said first, damn, when did I send an envoy to contact him, when did I say that I would unite with him to overthrow the court and divide the world equally, isn't this a bloody mouth, what kind of hooligan style does this Liu Cong play, making something out of nothing." ”

Zhou Yu took the text, read it from the beginning, lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied: "Lord, this is nothing, if we want to crusade against Jingzhou, don't we have to write the text like this." ”

Sun Quan listened, rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "Yes, Gongjin, you say, what should we do." ”

Zhou Yu is older than Sun Quan in the end, and he is not so panicked in everything, and when he saw Sun Quan losing his temper like this, he comforted: "The lord does not need to panic, as the saying goes, 'water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers will block', since Liu Cong sent troops over, we will send troops to resist, strategize, dispatch troops, judge the situation and arrange troops, and know who can win or lose." ”

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Yes, Gongjin is reasonable." ”

So Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others conspired, and Sun Quan issued an order: "Order Xu Sheng to lead troops to strictly defend Wuchang, and order Ding Feng to set up camp outside Wuchang City, and form a corner with Xu Sheng in the city to ensure that Wuchang is not lost." "The messenger gave the order and went.

Sun Quan also instructed Zhou Yu: "Wuchang is a place, the relationship is very big, Wuchang is there, then Chaisang is there; If Wuchang is lost, Chaisang will not be guaranteed, so Gongjin must allocate men and horses in time and be fully responsible for the defense of Wuchang. ”

Zhou Yu got up and clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "The last general received the order and went to the front line in Wuchang to command the battle on the same day." ”

Sun Quan ordered in a low voice: "Gong Jin will act immediately, I will allocate 30,000 men and horses in Chaisang and follow Gong Jin to Wuchang." ”

At this time, Lu Su spoke, and he said, "My lord, my subordinates have something to say. ”

Sun Quan glanced at him and said, "Please speak." ”

"The subordinates thought that it was really not a wise move for Liu Cong in Jingzhou to raise troops for no reason.

The subordinates were willing to go to the Jingzhou barracks to persuade Liu Cong to withdraw from the army with a three-inch tongue, and the two families were reconciled from then on to deal with Cao Cao together. ”

Sun Quan thought for a while, but didn't agree, Zhang Zhao said: "Zijing's words are very good, and his subordinates also think that they should do this.

Liu Cong of Jingzhou, although both civil and military, but the world is too shallow, not thoughtful, this march to Wuchang, is really a reckless trip, Lu Zijing personally went to the Jingzhou barracks, judged the righteousness, knew the benefits, enough to persuade the Jingzhou soldiers, since then the two families have been repaired, and jointly deal with Cao Cao, but also live up to the expectations of the world. ”

Sun Quan asked: "Zijing went to the Jingzhou barracks, who is the deputy envoy." ”

Lu Su thought for a moment and said: "Jiang Ziyi is shrewd in words and deeds, good at observing words and feelings, and is enough to serve as a subordinate deputy envoy. ”

As soon as Sun Quan heard the great joy, he immediately ordered: "Zijing will prepare immediately, and he will be able to send an envoy to the Jingzhou barracks tomorrow." ”

Lu Su was ordered to go out and prepare to go,

Zhou Yu also said goodbye to Sun Quan and went out to mobilize people, at this time, Sun Quan's mood calmed down, and he was not so nervous, so he continued to talk to Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin and others,

It turned out that Jiang Gan and Zhou Yu were classmates in his early years,

Although Jiang Gan is clever in his words, he doesn't know what tendon is missing in his brain, so when everything is never dealt with satisfactorily, everyone dislikes it and is unwilling to have sex with him.

Only Zhou Yu likes him to be respectful and polite to himself, so he takes care of everything, and after a long time, the two of them are like brothers.

Later, Jiang Gan mistakenly entered Cao Ying as an errand boy, and he was very unhappy in Cao Ying, so he secretly ran to Dongwu to join Zhou Yu.

Jiang Gan was an insignificant adviser by Zhou Yu's side at this time,

Although this Jiang Gan is not thoughtful and incompetent, he has never lowered his mentality and is humble and polite to anyone, and because of this, he has won Lu Su's liking, and he can be described as obedient to Lu Su.

Therefore, when Sun Quan asked Lu Su who could be the deputy envoy, Lu Su promoted Jiang Gan, firstly because Jiang Gan was honest and obedient, and secondly, he wanted to take this trip to promote Jiang Gan in Eastern Wu.

Besides, Lu Su walked for a while, and Sun Quan heard the preaching outside the door: "Lu Ziming outside the door asks to see him." ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he scolded in his heart: "This kid is not enough to succeed and has more than enough to lose, so what is there to ask for to see." ”

scolded here and ordered: "Spread Lu Meng to see." ”

Outside the door, Lu Meng heard an order, hurriedly came in to visit, Shi Li, looked up and saw Zhang Zhao and others present, a little suspicious pause, opened his mouth and asked: "I heard that the lord sent Lu Su Jiang Gan to the Jingzhou barracks to talk about things, but there is such a thing." ”

Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng and replied, "Yes, what's wrong." ”

"There will be a plan for the lord in the end."

"Ziming, please speak."

"The last general is willing to be the deputy envoy and follow Lu Su to the Jingzhou barracks."

Sun Quan listened and asked, "Why do you need two deputy envoys?" ”

"At the end, there will be a secret plan for the lord, please move and speak."

Sun Quan was very reluctant, thought about it for a while, and got up and led Lu Meng to the secret room.

After staying for a long time, I saw Sun Quan take Lu Meng out of the secret room and ordered: "Well, Ziming, you follow Lu Su as an entourage to the Jingzhou barracks, after you pass, you must act cautiously in everything, not be impetuous and reckless, so as not to miss the major affairs of our military state." ”

Lu Meng listened, and only bowed away, 086
