Liu Bei couldn't seem to believe his ears, and shouted at Na Xiaozuo: "What, you say it again, what's wrong with Zhou Yu?" ”

Xizuo was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Qi, Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu, died of illness in Baqiu yesterday, and the Wu army has begun to wear linen and filial piety, which is true. ”

Zhou Yu is dead, Zhou Yu is really dead!

Liu Bei sat down, stunned for a while, and then waved his hand after a long time: "I know, you go down." ”

After retreating, Liu Bei sighed and said with emotion: "I didn't expect Zhou Gongjin to go like this when he was young, it's a pity." ”

Since the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei has 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 Ying. However, it was such a person, when Liu Bei heard the news of his death, he felt sincerely sorry.

The people around the left, in addition to the surprise, are also a lot of regrets, the joy is that Zhou Yu finally died, since then Liu Bei has one less powerful opponent in Jingzhou, but it is a pity that Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang generation of famous generals, so silently fell.

Even Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh: "Why is this Zhou Yu so unlucky, he went like this, I still expect to have a good life with him on the battlefield in the future." ”

In the sighs of everyone, Zhuge Liang took the lead in occupying the high ground of reason, and said: "Zhou Lang's death is a pity, but without this person's target, our son in Jingzhou will be much better, which can be regarded as an unexpected gift from God to the lord." ”

Liu Bei also came back to his senses from his emotion, and when he heard Zhuge Liang say this, his expression suddenly changed, and he said anxiously: "The reason why Sun Quan lent Jing Nan to me is to let me restrain Zhou Yu's tail, and now that Zhou Yu has died suddenly, wouldn't Sun Quan lose his reason to borrow Jing Nan, and what if he regretted it." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and said confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, Sun Quan will not regret it." If he repents, it will be to admit in front of the world that he borrowed Jingnan to the lord in order to restrain Zhou Lang, and people will even suspect that Zhou Lang's death may be from the hands of his grandson. Therefore, in this good show of borrowing Jingzhou, Sun Quan knew that there was bitter water in his heart, but he had to act hard. ”

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "I hope it will be as expected by the military advisor." ”

Facts have proved that Liu Bei's worries are indeed unnecessary.

Sun Quan really didn't expect Zhou Yu to die suddenly, originally he wanted Zhou Yu and Liu Bei to contain each other, but as soon as Zhou Yu died, it was a bit inexplicable to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei.

However, the promise he made in Dantu could not be counted, because if he repented now, it would be tantamount to exposing his original intention of lending Jingzhou to Liu Bei just to squeeze out Zhou Yu.

Therefore, as Zhuge Liang expected, although Sun Quan had a stomach full of bitter water, he could only enjoy it alone.

So, after transporting Zhou Yu's body back to Wu County and holding a grand funeral ceremony for his general, Sun Quan quickly began the work of transferring Jingnan power to Liu Bei.

Sun Quan's first step was to send Lu Su to Nanjun to take over Zhou Yu's men, and at the same time sent Cheng Pu to lead the Nanjun Taishou, after the two stabilized the mood of Zhou Yu's subordinates, they immediately let Cheng Pu return to Jiangxia Taishou, Lu Su changed to Changsha County Hanchang Taishou, led the troops back to Tun in Lukou, and then, and ordered Ganning to withdraw from Yiling, and Huang Gai to withdraw from Wuling, so that in nearly two months of frequent transfers, Sun Quan has withdrawn all his forces from the five counties of Jingnan.

After Sun Quan's forces withdrew from Jingnan, Liu Bei quickly took over the five counties left behind by the Wu people, and he himself first led Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong to cross the Yangtze River and enter Jiangling City, and then divided his troops into Yiling and other strategic places in southern counties. After stabilizing Nanjun, he sent Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and other generals to lead more than 1,000 men to the south and fully took over the defense of the four southern counties.

After completing the de facto occupation of the counties militarily, Liu Bei quickly dispatched his own cronies and officials to the counties. Liao Li is the Changsha Taishou, Hao Pu is the Lingling Taishou, Zhao Yun leads Guiyang Taishou, and Zhang Fei is the Nanjun Taishou. He himself, under the recommendation of everyone, led Jingzhou Mu by himself, and at the same time led Wuling Taishou.

After completely taking over the five counties, the large number of Jing Chu scholars who had gathered in the public security finally got a place to use, and they set out from the public security one after another to the five counties, and there were many vacant positions waiting for them to take up their posts.

When the time entered July of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei basically controlled the overall situation of the five counties of Jingnan, the elite soldiers were in danger, and the trusted civil officials were orderly pacifying the hearts of the people everywhere, and more soldiers who hid and avoided chaos came to defect, and the people who fled abroad began to return to the countryside, resume production, and rebuild their homes.

The fifteenth year of Jian'an is destined to be a year of Liu Bei's rebirth.

After sitting in Jiangling, Liu Bei ordered Fang Shao, who stayed in the public security, to take Mrs. Mi and the little son Adou to Jiangling, after all, the small public security city is far from being comparable to Jiangling, and it is time for his wife and children to enjoy the big city.

The convoy went out of the public security city, all the way to the wharf, got on the big boat, just about to anchor to the north, suddenly the river wind and rain were blowing, the waves were rolling, for the sake of safety, Fang Shao called not to go offshore for the time being, and only after the wind and rain stopped.

However, the rain became heavier and heavier, from the afternoon to the evening, and by the time the rain stopped, it was already evening.

Fang Shao had no choice but to walk into the inner cabin and said to Mrs. Mi: "Madam, it's getting late, and I'm afraid that there will be risks in crossing the river at night, so it's better to go back to the Public Security City first, and then go to Jiangling when I come to Tianming." ”

Mrs. Mi glanced at Adou in her arms, who was sleeping soundly, and said: "Adou is asleep, this will wake him up, and I don't know when I will be able to fall asleep, so it is better to stay on the boat tonight, and save me one more round trip tomorrow." ”

Fang Shao also relied on leaving, so he asked the soldiers accompanying the ship to camp on the dock for one night, and ordered the maids to prepare some simple wine and food and send them to the cabin.

"Madam, there are no good things on the dock, just these coarse tea and light rice, Madame will go down for the time being."

Mrs. Mi smiled: "Don't get in the way, no matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than when we fled for our lives in Changbanpo at that time, Zhongzheng, you have also worked hard, sit down and have a few drinks together." ”

Fang Shao did not refuse Mrs. Mi's hospitality, and sat on the side for a few drinks.

After a few glasses of wine, Mrs. Mi asked the nurse to take Adou to rest, and said to the maids: "You are all tired, you don't need to serve here, go to rest early, and you have to hurry tomorrow." ”

The maids were all dispersed, and only the two of them were left in the cabin, and Mrs. Fang Shaozhi Mi deliberately took the maids away, presumably complaining to him again.

Sure enough, when the footsteps of the maids were far away, Mrs. Mi poured down a glass of wine, and then there was a faint sigh.
