Gong'an City, General Zuo's Mansion.

This is already the tenth day after Lu Su left, Xu Shu has rushed back to the public security yesterday after calmly deploying to let Lu Meng take over Liu Qi's territory, Zhuge Liang has just arrived from Baqiu this morning, and two important strategists of Liu Bei's group have gathered in the public security to discuss with Liu Bei the matter of accepting Nanjun.

"After Zhou Yu took over Jiangling, he had already taken all the southern counties, but he moved to Baqiu a few days ago. What's the plan? ”

Now Zhou Yu neither returned to Jianye nor Jiangling, but only stayed in Baqiu and did not move, neither saw any personnel and soldiers and horses transferred from Nanjun, nor did he see people sent by Dongwu to make relevant explanations, such a strange move had to make Liu Bei feel uneasy.

Liu Bei seemed to be very worried, and asked, "Could it be that he Sun Ce wants to deceive me Jiangxia!" ”

Zhuge Liang was calm, shook his fan and smiled: "Sun Ce is a believer, he will not be like this." ”

At this time, Xu Shu also said: "Lord, I think maybe Zhou Yu didn't have any intention by doing this. I've heard that he's been in poor health since he's been wounded in the Battle of Nangun. This year's winter weather is unusually cold, and I am afraid that his old injuries have recurred. ”

After all, people are not gods, they are only flesh and blood, and not all actions come from prior planning, and sometimes, the reason is often so simple.

At this time, the voice of the guards came from outside the tent, saying that an envoy from Soochow had come.

Liu Bei saw that the person in front of him was very unfamiliar, not Lu Su, who was in charge of communicating with the two families before, but a scribe he didn't know, so he said, "I don't know who Mr. is?" ”

The scribe smiled slightly and said, "No, Kan Ze, fill in the middle Sima under the account of the Metropolitan Governor." In order to pass on the order of the governor of the capital, Liu Jingzhou was invited to take over the southern county. ”

Zhuge Liang is familiar with Jiangdong characters, and knows that this Kan Ze is a rare bachelor, and his eloquence is also excellent. asked: "I don't know when Zhou Dudu wants to hand over?" ”

"The gentleman laughed, and now the governor of the capital is the governor of Yokono, the general of Lu. It's not a post-general. Kan Ze said with a smile.

The seemingly simple words set off a huge wave in the hearts of Liu Bei and the others, 'Zhou Yu is no longer the Grand Governor? The current governor is Lü Meng? In order to clarify the situation, Liu Bei asked, "Please also ask Mr. to clear up your doubts." ”

Kan Ze was also good-tempered, and said: "Governor Zhou has been transferred back to Jianye by Wu Hou due to the recurrence of arrow wounds, and instead of Governor Zhou, it is the Hengye general Lu Meng who leads Jiangxia Taishou to garrison Xiakou, and at the same time, Hengjiang General Lu Su is the deputy governor of Hanchang Taishou to garrison Lukou. Qiao Ren, the former governor of the right capital, was transferred to the governor of Jiangbei and moved to Chaisang. Uncle Liu Huang understands. ”

Liu Bei and the others never thought that it was only a few days before there was a big change of blood on the side of Dongwu. Even the original supreme leader of the West Road has left, and Liu Bei can't say what Zhou Yu's departure is. Since the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have been angry with Zhou Yu again and again, and it can be said that this person is the second enemy in Liu Bei's life after Cao Cao. However, such a talented military commander should no longer be in charge of the army due to injury, and as a general, he can understand that feeling.

However, now is not the time to mourn for Zhou Yu, Liu Bei turned his mind and asked, "Sir, when is Governor Lu going to hand over to Bei." ”

"The governor means the day after tomorrow, and the governor also said that if Uncle Liu Huang wants to attack north, Governor Lu should do his best to help." Kan Ze said softly.

For Liu Bei, this is no less than pie in the sky. Liu Bei was so happy that he fainted for a while, and it took a long time before he came to his senses and said, "Thank you, Mr., for telling me, and please have some wine banquets before leaving!" ”

"No, thank you Uncle Liu. The Metropolitan Governor is still waiting for a certain return, and such and such will leave. Kan Ze postponed it, and Liu Bei didn't force it, and let him go.

Looking at the back of Kan Ze leaving, a person flashed out behind the military tent door, with an ugly face and a wine gourd hanging from his waist. "Sun Ce is so calculating."

Zhuge Liang didn't look back, and used a feather fan to draw an arc in the air, "What is Shiyuan's opinion?" ”

In fact, Pang Tong wanted to take refuge in Liu Bei as early as the Battle of Chibi, but he was afraid that the assassination of Jiang Gan would be known to Zhou Yu, so he has been hidden and has not come out, and in recent days, he has been recommended by Zhuge Liang to take refuge in Liu Bei.

Originally, Pang Tong only arrived a few steps later than Kan Ze, but when he saw Kan Ze included, he was afraid that he would recognize him, so he hid behind the door and eavesdropped. Hearing Zhuge Liang's question, Pang Tong took off the wine gourd and poured a sip, saying: "Sun Ce's move is nothing more than wanting the lord and Cao Cao to pinch each other. He raised 80,000 troops in Jiangdong and fought with Cao Cao in Chibi, although he defeated Cao Cao, but after raising hundreds of thousands of troops to go north, he only lost his troops and made no substantial progress, and injured Zhou Yu. Now he is powerless to resist Cao Cao on both sides, so he ceded Nanjun to the lord, wanting the lord to share the pressure for him, and at the same time weakening the lord's strength. ”

The lord in Pang Tong's mouth is the Liu Bei in front of him, Pang Tong was under Liu Bei a few days ago, but he has not been appointed to an official position for the time being, but Zhuge Liang is a counselor in military affairs. After that, there were many Jingxiang talents who came to vote, which made Liu Bei's command full of talents for a while.

Xu Shu also opened his mouth and said: "As Shi Yuan said, but although Sun Ce has bad intentions, but now our army has nowhere to go except Nanjun, even if it is just as Shi Yuan said, it is okay." Nanjun is vast and populous, and the land is fertile, which is the essence of Jingzhou. Denan County alone will give our army an opportunity to develop, and at that time, there will be a basis for both northward and westward advances. ”

Liu Bei also remembered Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, Nanjun is located in the middle of the ground, connecting Yizhou in the west, Nanyang in the north, Jiangxia in the east and the Yangtze River in the south.

In the last month of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, on the port of Baqiu, there was a huge building ship moored, which was very different from the battleship of Dongwu, which was the flagship of Cao Cao in the past, which survived the Battle of Chibi and was now sent to Zhou Yu's ship.

On the riverside, Lu Meng, Lu Su, Zhou Tai, Chen Wu and other generals were all dressed in civilian clothes, but Zhou Yu was fascinated by the river. "I don't know when I'll be back." Xiao Se's back turned into ice in the winter wind.

"What is the Metropolitan Governor saying, in my heart, you will always be our Metropolitan Governor. When you are healed, I, Chen Wu, will still be under your command to conquer the Quartet. ”

"Huh. Zi Lie, now the governor of the capital is Ziming. Zhou Yu looked at Chen Wu and didn't forget to make a joke.

Chen Wu looked to the right and saw Lu Meng turn his head to look at him, and the two looked at each other awkwardly. Seeing the two people staring at each other, everyone laughed and swept away the depression in their hearts.

Zhou Yu finally sighed: "Everyone, you don't have to send it anymore. Yu will turn to Jianye, and in the future, he will be accompanied by his wife and concubine, but he will suffer from the sun and rain. ”

Looking at Zhou Yu coming down the Shuojiang River, all the generals refused to move their eyes for a long time, and after a quarter of an hour, Lu Su finally said: "You better go back first!" There are still a lot of things waiting for us to do! ”

Baqiu is also part of Nanjun, and it will change hands here tomorrow, so it is indeed unreasonable for so many Soochow generals to stay here. Moreover, after Zhou Yu left, the Western Route Army still needed to be reorganized, and Lu Meng and Lu Su both had a lot of affairs to deal with.
