Twenty-four years of Jian'an, spring and January. Jianye, Taichu Palace Xuanhua Palace.

Now Guan Yu is in Jingxiang but a pool of mixed water, first defeated Xiangyang's Wenpin, so that he was unable to go out of the city to fight again, and then defeated Cao Ren's army to aid Xiangyang in the field, but suddenly waved his army to the north to abandon Xiangyang and surrounded Fancheng where Cao Ren was stationed. For a time, the entire Xiangfan defense line of Cao's army was completely defeated by Guan Yu.

If it weren't for Cao Ren's really good guarding, I'm afraid that even Xu Du would be in chaos now.

"Huaisi and Jingxiang are like my two fists in Dongwu, and Huaisi can be regarded as the right hand, and Jingxiang can be regarded as the left hand, the left hand resists the enemy, and the right hand beats people. But now my right hand is extremely strong, but my left hand only has arms and wrists, and there is no fist. His Royal Highness Qiao Ren said impassionedly: "People can only walk with two feet, and they must rely on two hands to achieve both offense and defense, both of which are indispensable." This fist in the left hand must be withdrawn. ”

"Ahem!" Originally, in the twenty-second year of Jian'an, Lu Su, who hung up, was recuperated by Zhang Ji and stayed in Jian'an for twenty-four years. "Liu Bei and our army are in good faith, and the treachery is not the work of our lord."

"Treacherous, is Nanjun Liu Bei's? No, it was my lord who lent him, how could it be done by the allies if he didn't repay the loan for a long time, he would pay it back if he got Shuzhong, he would pay it back if he got Hanzhong, and the next step would he pay it back if he got Yongliang? I'm afraid that if I get Yongliang, His Royal Highness the King of Han will wave his army south to destroy my Dongwu! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Liu Bei still has my ally in Dongwu in his heart, but Nanjun is in the upper reaches of the river and is the gateway of my Dongwu, if Guan Yu can defend it, what if he can't hold it? What if it is broken by the King of Wei? Do I Dongwu help Guan Yu guard Nanjun or sit idly by and use my Jiangdong warriors to guard our Nanjun for Guan Yu, what do you think? ”

"Ahem, Qiao Ziyan is clever about your words!" Lu Su was so anxious that he stomped his feet, it was not that he didn't want to take back Nanjun, but at that time, when the two sides were in an alliance, instead of unilaterally reneging on the alliance, I have to say that Lu Su was still a little naïve.

"Urgent, urgent!" Every time Sun Ce has a meeting, there are always one or two urgent reports, and it is really a coincidence to break the embarrassment.

"Say!" Sun Ceke was happy that there was an urgent report at this time, Qiao Ren and Lu Su had to fight for a while every ten days, and his ears could hear the cocoon (once every ten days of the court meeting).

"Report! In October last year, Prince Zhang of Wei broke the Wuhuan of Daijun and beheaded thousands. ・・・・・・・・・・・ (omitted a few) ・・・・・・・・・・ Xianbei Lord Kebi can be a vassal to the Han Dynasty. (In fact, he was loyal to the Cao family, nominally to the Han Dynasty)

"The Great Han is mighty! The King of Wei is mighty, and the cavalry general is mighty! Qiao Ren, who was standing in the hall, waved his hand, looking happier than if he had won the battle.

At this time, some ministers in the palace didn't understand, Cao Zhang won the battle, what does it matter to you Qiao Ren? However, although the three-legged stand now, it is still nominally the world of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Zhang led the Han army (Cao Jun) to conquer the Saiwai, and they didn't dare to say anything, after all, the righteousness of this nation can crush the dead.

"The Great Han is mighty!" "The Great Han is mighty!"

Then there were three generals who raised their right fists and shouted loudly. Led by the veteran Tiger Wing General Han Dang, who did not deal well with Qiao Ren, and Cheng Pu's son, Fengche Du Lieutenant Cheng Zhi. Han Dang and Cheng Puke are both from Northern Xinjiang, and they have experienced the incident of Wuhuan and Xianbei in their early years, and they are quite hostile to the Hu people, and they are very happy that Cao Zhang defeated Wuhuan!

"Haha! Well played! ”

When the ministers heard the prestige, Sun Ce also looked extremely happy, and immediately took back many of the words that came to his lips. The left and right are just Cao Jun and the Hu people in northern Xinjiang fighting, and it doesn't matter if they win, and even under the influence of the Han Dynasty's hundreds of years of frontier meritorious thoughts, many literati are also enthusiastic.

After this trouble, the argument between Qiao Ren and Lu Su faded a lot. Qiao Ren saw Lu Su's strong opposition, and knew that he was not completely dead to Liu Bei, or that he was still so naïve, so he said: "Song'er has reached the age of marriage, and Ren has heard that Guan Yu has a daughter who is in her prime, so it is better to send an envoy to discuss with him, marry his daughter to Song'er, and at the same time discuss the matter of Nanjun." ”

Guan Yu is in the limelight, how could he agree to return Nanjun, but for this family matter, the ministers of Eastern Wu are still happy to see it, and if there is no in-law between the ancient allies, they are embarrassed to say that they are allies. Wu is strong and Shu is weak, and asking to marry Guan Yu's daughter is the best way, which is still based on Liu Bei's lack of daughters.

Sun Ce originally made up his mind to take back Nanjun by force, but he didn't expect Qiao Ren to come out like this, but Sun Ce knew that Qiao Ren had no wind and no waves, and since he did this, there must be a reason for this. And Zhou Yu, who started it, didn't see any objections, so Sun Ce directly agreed. "Well, I don't know who would like to be an envoy."

This is a good thing, facilitating this matter can not only fulfill Sun Ce's expectations, but also make a good relationship with Qiao Ren, and for a while, the ministers in the palace are eager to try.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

"Ziyan, what do you mean by this?" After the dispersal of the dynasty, Sun Ce asked Qiao Ren angrily.

"Hehe, brother-in-law. Did Ren ever refuse Liu Bei's courtship, and with Guan Yu's temperament, did his brother-in-law think he would agree? Qiao Ren asked with a hippie smile.

"No!"

"It's not just not, I'm afraid it's almost the same as bad words. Hum! As long as Guan Yu dares to speak wildly, we will have the pretext to attack Nanjun. "In the Han Dynasty and even in the pre-Qin Dynasty, there were not a few wars that were set off because of a word, and what Qiao Ren wanted was an excuse. This excuse is only used to block Lu Su's mouth. Jiangdong has been staring at Jingxiang's piece of fat, and of course he will not object. Huaisi is headed by Qiao Ren and Zhou Yu, and if Lu Fan does not object, Qiao Ren and Zhou Yu can decide. The only possible opposition is Lu Su and Yu Tuo, as long as there is a plausible excuse, Lu Su will not say anything, as for Yu Tuo, if he still dares to object, Qiao Ren can only suppress him with all his might.

Yu Tuo's personality is like that, he is not suitable for being an official, he has the feeling of an old master, he is very knowledgeable, but he is pedantic and upright. Not only did he stare at Sun Ce to find faults, but he also didn't get along with the ministers. Although he is a daring to give direct advice, he is far worse than Wei Zheng, although Wei Zheng is straightforward, he is not pedantic, and he will not be obsessed with faith and righteousness like Yu Fu and oppose Qiao Ren's taking Nanjun.

"Gongjin, why don't you speak?"

"Yes, brother-in-law. Brother-in-law? ”

While the two were talking, they found that Zhou Yu's face was no longer right, and his face was pale and bloodless.

"Come on, please Mr. Zhang."

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

Half an hour passed, and after Zhang Ji used a needle to condition, Zhou Yu's face was a little ruddy, but he was still lying on the couch with his eyelids closed, and he couldn't even breathe well. Seeing Qiao Ren and Zhou Yu couldn't bear it for a while.

"Sir, how is Gongjin?"

Zhang Ji's beard finally turned a little whiter, otherwise Qiao Ren thought that he would be the same as Yu Ji, and his appearance would not change for more than ten years. "General, during the battle of Nanjun, the arrow wound has reached the heart, and then he has been engaged in state affairs, and his body is extremely weak, especially in the winter of last year, which was extremely cold and lasted for April, and the general was infected with wind and cold, and the cold poison invaded the lungs, I am afraid that the old man could not do anything."

"Just kidding, Zhang Zhongjing, who wrote about typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases, can't cure cold poison."

However, Zhang Ji's next explanation made Qiao Ren understand that Zhou Yu was not a simple wind chill at all, but a sepsis caused by long-term pneumonia, which was indeed a terminal illness in ancient times.
