The lights in the newlyweds' room have been turned off, the guests in the front yard have dispersed, and the Sun Mansion, which had been noisy for a day, finally calmed down, and the cold moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard, which seemed extraordinarily silent.

Ohashi was tired from the day and had already slept. Xiaoqiao was clothed and looked at Zhou Yu who was still sitting in front of the window, and felt distressed. Zhou Yu behaved very well today, she didn't show even a little gaffe at the banquet, and when she faced Guan Feng who came to toast, she also praised a few words generously and decently, even in the face of Sun Shao's usual jokes, she was smiling like a flower, and she couldn't see anything unusual. But Xiaoqiao knew that when Zhou Yu was laughing, his heart must be dripping blood.

"Xiao Yu'er, it's not early, go to sleep." Xiaoqiao draped the brocade robe onto Zhou Yu's small body, hugged her cold body tightly in his arms, and his voice was a little choked: "Why are you so troubled, so my mother will be very distressed." ”

Zhou Yu turned his face, and there were two tear stains on his pale face. She grinned, wanting to smile, but the smile made Xiaoqiao even more uncomfortable.

"Mother, I see."

"What do you know?" Xiaoqiao couldn't help but be a little nervous when he saw that Zhou Yu's expression was wrong.

"I know why Big Brother did this." Zhou Yu wanted to stand up, but she sat too tightly, her legs were numb, and her heart hurt when she moved, so painful that she groaned in pain, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. When Xiaoqiao saw it, he hurriedly picked her up, hurriedly walked to the couch, stuffed her into the quilt, and then got into bed himself and hugged Zhou Yu in his arms.

"I know he does it, it's not that he doesn't like me." Zhou Yu was talking to himself like a dream, his tone was very calm, and he was a little happy. Xiaoqiao frowned, thinking that her daughter's heartache was abnormal, and she was about to persuade her, but she saw Zhou Yu raise her head and look at her with tears in her eyes: "Big brother doesn't want to affect our Zhou family." ”

"Involved?" Xiaoqiao was also stunned for a moment. She sighed, her daughter is really stupid, and at this time, she has to find a reason for Sun Shao, or rather, more for herself. She didn't speak, she listened quietly, and it was better to have a reason than no reason at all.

"The eldest brother married Miss Guan, but he was not happy." Zhou Yu continued, tears wet the placket on Xiaoqiao's chest, which was cool, making Xiaoqiao feel a chill. She followed Zhou Yu's words and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Have you seen the two hundred guards of the Guan family?" Zhou Yu suddenly sneered: "Did you see the face of the Supreme at that time?" ”

Xiaoqiao was silent for a moment and shook his head: "The Supreme didn't show any unhappiness. ”

"It's because he's not abnormal that he's scary." Zhou Yu's voice became smooth. "Guan Yu guards Jingzhou, bordering my Jiangdong, the eldest brother is a clan, Miss Guan marries the eldest brother, Liu Bei, or the Supreme, they will not be unguarded." She paused, raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face: "Guan Yu knows that the eldest brother can't lead the army, and he has to send two hundred elites to marry, which is obviously the opposite. I see that Guan Ping's face is a little reluctant, this is probably not Guan Yu's intention, since it is not his intention, it must be Liu Bei's intention. Liu Bei wanted to borrow the supreme's hand to suppress the eldest brother, so that Guan Yu was powerless to borrow. ”

"You mean?" Xiaoqiao gasped.

"Hmm." Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, his expression was a little excited, and a touch of flushing made his pale face look a little bewitching. "The Supreme didn't react, which means that he had already made the decision to suppress the eldest brother, and Liu Bei did this just to give him a more legitimate reason."

"That's not right." Xiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, and felt that what Zhou Yu said was a little inappropriate: "If you really want to suppress him, why do you want to do it so aggressively?" The specifications of this wedding have not been obtained by any clan in the past, even if Sun Deng gets married in the future, it is probably nothing more than that. ”

"The more solemn, the more problematic." Zhou Yu snorted and wiped the tears from his face: "And this time, it may be even more serious than before." The eldest brother probably thought of this a long time ago, so he deliberately avoided me, because if he became close to me, then my Zhou family would inevitably be affected by him. ”

Xiaoqiao looked at Zhou Yu suspiciously, she felt that what Zhou Yu said seemed reasonable, but it seemed a little far-fetched. She said that Sun Quan would suppress Sun Shao, which she believed, because Sun Quan had always done so, the reason was very simple, Sun Shao's identity was special, it was okay to give him wealth, but it was absolutely impossible to give him power, especially military power. If it were her, she would do the same. Zhou Yu said that Sun Shao didn't want to involve the Zhou family because of this, and she could figure it out, but Zhou Yu said that Sun Quan was preparing to deal with Sun Shao, but she didn't want to believe it. Sun Shao is Sun Quan's nephew after all, Sun Ce's only son, and he is now willing to learn, he doesn't want to fight for power and profit, and there is no threat to Sun Quan.

Zhou Yu still seems to be overly concerned and thinks too seriously. Xiaoqiao looked at his daughter with bright eyes, becoming more and more sad, and did not refute Zhou Yu, blew out the light, and lay down with Zhou Yu in his arms.

In the dark, Zhou Yu's eyes were still bright, and after a long while, she said distressedly: "I just can't think of what method the Supreme will use to deal with the eldest brother, and I can't even give the eldest brother a wake-up." I'm really useless. ”

Xiaoqiao's nose was sour, and he hugged Zhou Yu tighter.

"You did a good job on your mission to Yizhou this time." Sun Quan didn't have any alcohol on his face, and his whole person was full of energy and looked very energetic. He looked at Zhang Cheng, stretched out his hand and motioned for Lu Yi to take a letter and push it in front of Zhang Cheng.

"Lu Zijing wants you to go to Lukou." The corners of Sun Quan's mouth trembled, but he quickly calmed down again, and explained: "Feng Xian and Guan Feng got married, and there is no major event on the Western Front. Zijing is not in good health and wants to come back to recuperate, so I recommend you to succeed Lukou Governor. But I think that although you are talented, but after all, you have not gone through the battle formation, and you have suddenly undergone heavy responsibilities, which is harmful to you, so I hope that Zijing will recuperate in Lukou, and you will do a long history, and he will handle the major affairs, and you will be responsible for the details, so that he can also rest, and you can also get experience for future use. ”

Zhang Cheng has nothing to say, what he can say, Sun Quan has finished speaking, and it will be useless to excuse himself. Although Sun Shao suggested that he go to Lukou when he was on the way, and now this result is exactly what he wants, but he is a little suspicious of Sun Quan's intentions, he feels that Sun Quan is in such a hurry to send him to Lukou, because he doesn't want him to have any more contact with Sun Shao. But these are not good questions for him, this is not something he can ask. He could only thank him: "Thank you for your trust, and the minister will definitely assist General Lu with his heart to ensure that the Western Front is safe." ”

"Hehehe......" Sun Quan laughed twice, and said: "Lu Zijing is quite disciplined in governing the soldiers, and it is rare for Xu people to be rare, but this time he looks up to you so highly, it is really rare." You cooperate well, don't let me worry about the war on the Western Front, and do your best to deal with Cao Ying. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Zhonghei, how is the war in Ba County?" Can Liu Bei handle it? ”

Zhang Cheng knew that Sun Quan was not afraid that Liu Bei would not be able to deal with Xiahou Yuan, he wanted to know if Liu Bei might send troops to Jingzhou now. He hurriedly shook his head: "Supreme, Zhang Fei has just broken Zhang He in the ditch, Cao Jun has withdrawn from Ba County, and Chengdu is temporarily stable." Now General Zuo is preparing grain and grass, and it seems that he is going to attack Hanzhong, and judging from what we have seen in Chengdu, they do not have much chance of winning this battle, if nothing else, they will have a stalemate with Xiahou Yuan for a while. The final victory or defeat may depend on the will of God. ”

"Providence?" Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and thought about it, and then asked, "What do you think of this war?" ”

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "I think Cao Ying's dispatch of troops this time is a big violation of the common law of soldiers, and he will definitely be defeated." ”

"Oh, what do you say?" Sun Quan became interested, moved his body forward, and looked at Zhang Cheng with blazing eyes.

"The art of war is to attack slowly with fast, weak with strong, and high with high. Although Cao Ying has thousands of military cavalry, Jiangdong is good for water and not conducive to riding, and even if he has cavalry known as the world's famous cavalry, he is useless. On the contrary, how far apart is his sailor from my Jiangdong sailor? How can there be a reason to win by attacking the strong with the weak? Furthermore, in terms of the use of soldiers, we should divide the enemy's troops, and gather our strength to attack them. At this time, he should go all out to attack Yizhou, instead of fighting on two fronts. As long as we capture Yizhou and then go down the river, our Jiangdong will inevitably be tight. This is a foolproof strategy, but he attacked Hanzhong from Xiahou Yuan, and led the elite to take Jiangdong, how could he win? ”

Sun Quan nodded again and again: "Zhong Hei, what you said is reasonable, I think so too, but it's a pity that they were all scared by Cao Jun, and when they heard that Cao Ying was coming, they were scared, which really disappointed me." ”

"I think that since the battle of Wulin, Cao Ying has attacked Jiangdong many times, and none of them have not returned in vain. The current situation is that in the land war, Cao's army has a slight upper hand and has no strength to win, but in the water war, our army has an absolute advantage, and the victory and defeat are clear, so there is no need to worry. With the supreme wisdom, Jiangdong will be worry-free against the faint Cao thief. ”

Sun Quan smiled, he gently patted the book on the case, glanced at Zhang Cheng, and suddenly said, "You are the second person who has confidence in me." Zhang Cheng was stunned. Sun Quan also said, "The first person who has faith in me is Feng Xian. Zhong Hei, this time Feng Xian is in Chengdu, is it really too much? ”

Zhang Cheng's heart was stunned, he thought about it for a while, and immediately showed displeasure, and replied: "The minister thinks that Sun Shao, as a prince, does not want to be motivated, and only does business for profit, which is indeed inappropriate. The ministers are humble and light, and the loyal words are contrary to the ears, and please ask the Supreme to teach more. ”

"Tell me, what unmotivated things did Feng Xian do in Chengdu that made you so angry."
