297 Temper tantrums
To be fair, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are indeed much more decent than Liu Bei's, one of the main reasons is that Jiangdong is rich, the economic base determines the superstructure, the soldiers are well fed and clothed, and they are paid. Liu Bei's side is bad, the soldiers are often hungry, so Liu Bei can only drink more water and shed more tears, touching people's hearts with affection, but not all of them can be restrained by discipline.
Wang Baoyu's mood is very agitated, Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Tai Shici and others are all famous, presumably this battle will be very exciting.
Everyone was gone, and Zhou Yu only then remembered Zhuge Liang beside him, and asked politely: "Mr. Kong Ming, what do you think of my troop arrangements this time?" ”
"The Metropolitan Governor knows the art of war very well, and this arrangement, there is a law for movement and stillness, and the echo is orderly, Kong Ming admires it." Zhuge Liang didn't want to have a conflict with him, so he complimented him casually, but he didn't agree with Zhou Yu's arrangement in his heart.
"What does Baoyu think?" Zhou Yu asked Wang Baoyu again without smiling.
"Hehe, it's very lively, you should put some firecrackers or something to set off the warm atmosphere." Wang Baoyu smiled and said a word of nonsense.
Zhou Yu glanced at Wang Baoyu, ignored him again, and said to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Kong Ming, there is a little trouble in the existing matter, please ask Mr. for help." ”
"Governor, please?"
"The lord ordered the veteran Cheng Pu to serve as the deputy governor, but he was sick at home today and never came, presumably because I was young and couldn't let go of my face. I also respect the old general very much, and I also asked Mr. Kong Ming to persuade him not to mind, focus on the overall situation, and work together to resist Cao Bing. Zhou Yu said.
Damn, it's clear that you can't let go of it, and you don't want to invite it in person, and besides, this old man is very stubborn, and he must have been there before, and Zhuge Liang didn't come here as a lobbyist!
Wang Baoyu said to Zhou Yu dissatisfied: "This is your internal Jiangdong matter, what are we going to do?" ”
"Bao Yuxiu wants to say more, there are no big or small things in the army, since the governor has arranged it, Kong Ming will take a trip." Zhuge Liang said.
"Mr. Kong Ming understands righteousness, and Gong Jin admires it."
"You're welcome."
"Don't let the old general get angry." Zhou Yu finally smiled evilly and admonished.
"Kong Ming will complete the task." Zhuge Liang said, got up and got off the high platform, beckoned Wang Baoyu to go all the way to Cheng Pu's mansion.
"Sir, look at Zhou Yu's bear-like appearance, it's really fucking annoying!" Wang Baoyu muttered all the way, Zhuge Liang was in a bad mood, and he didn't explain much. In Zhuge Liang's view, it is precisely because he is not welcomed that he must find more opportunities and make more contributions, and only the more traces left in Jiangdong, will he not be too passive in the future.
As soon as they arrived at the door of Cheng's mansion, the two of them ate a closed door, and the servant guarding the door said arrogantly: "General Cheng is unwell, and he will not see any guests today." ”
"I'm tired of reporting, so I said that Kong Ming was visiting." Zhuge Liang said.
"I don't recognize you, leave quickly!" The servant said impatiently.
"We're here on the orders of the Grand Governor!" Wang Baoyu said with a straight neck.
"No one can come!" Far from being polite, the servant made a pushing motion.
Wang Baoyu immediately got angry, reached out and took out the token given by Sun Quan, shook it in front of the servant's eyes, and said coldly: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, this is General Sun's token, no matter where I go, I can't stop it, otherwise I will die." ”
The servant was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly flashed his hand to the side, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and the two of them raised their heads and broke directly into the mansion, and saw the veteran Cheng Pu pacing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back from a distance.
Cheng Pu has a gray beard, he looks older than his godfather Jia Zhengdao, he is more than seventy, he is not small, he is one meter nine, although he is old, his face is still heroic, and he does not lose the might of a general.
It is no wonder that Cheng Pu is dissatisfied with Zhou Yu, he has dedicated his life to Jiangdong, and has served as the head of the Sun family for three generations.
Seeing Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu walking towards him, Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You two are so bold that you dare to break into my mansion." ”
"Old man, you're not a ghost here, what's so scary." Wang Baoyu snorted and didn't think so.
"Boy, don't think that the lord can be arrogant by giving you a death-free token, I will kill you today, and the lord may not blame." Cheng Pu said, actually took a few steps over, and casually took a big knife from the weapon rack.
Still with a fiery temper, Wang Baoyu hurriedly took two steps back, but Zhuge Liang stepped forward with a smiling face and said: "Cheng Gong, don't be angry, I will be ordered by Zhou Yu's governor to invite the old general to discuss the matter together." ”
"Huangkou is also worthy of being the head of the three armies, don't go!" Old Cheng Pu came to have a strong temper, and he didn't say that he was sick, he refused straightforwardly, and explained the reason for not going.
"If you don't go, aren't you afraid that Zhou Yu will kill you on the grounds of disobeying military orders?" Wang Baoyu said cheaply.
"He dares!" Old Cheng Pu was so angry that his beard curled, and when his hand fell, a big stone beside him was cut in half.
"Zhou Yu has a lot of power in his hands, if he really deals with it by military law, the old general is afraid that he will not be able to say anything." Wang Baoyu said excitedly.
"Hmph, Zhou Yu dared to give me a look, so I took off this armor, burned this mansion, and went to the tomb for the ancestor grandson!" Cheng Pu was so angry that he trembled.
Cut, what can a dead person do for you, can you be afraid of you when Zhou Yu is this? Wang Baoyu wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang with a look, Zhuge Liang took a step forward, bent deeply, and said sincerely: "Old general, don't be angry, now that the enemy is present, I hope that the general will focus on the overall situation." ”
Hum! Cheng Pu snorted coldly again, and Zhuge Liang said again: "When Liang was in Wollongong, I heard that Cheng Gongsu married a doctor, and he was very kind. Liang came this time, not only for the rumors of the metropolitan governor, but also for the guidance of the old general. ”
Seeing Zhuge Liang so humble, Cheng Pu sighed for a long time, reached out to help Zhuge Liang up, and said: "It's not for me Cheng Pu because of his old age, he has a narrow temperament and can't tolerate people, but Zhou Yu has always been tall and conceited, and he is arbitrary, but I am afraid that this war will be lost." ”
"Well said!" Wang Baoyu slapped his face and added fuel and vinegar: "Zhou Yu is just self-righteous, and he can't get used to seeing others better than him." In my opinion, if Zhou Yu has a problem with sending troops, he will go to the mouth of the Sanjiang River, and if Cao Cao does not attack there, see what he does. ”
"What, the army is all concentrated in Sanjiangkou?" Cheng Pu asked in astonishment.
"Exactly!" Zhuge Liang nodded.
"Alas, wouldn't it be dangerous if Cao Cao attacked along the northern road?" Cheng Pu's face changed.
