356 The South-County Controversy
The army led by Zhou Yu was hoarded outside the city, and as soon as he entered the gate of Xiakou, the formation in front of him really surprised Zhou Yu, and the sweat in his head came out.
On both sides of the yellow sand road, there are soldiers with weapons in hand, the formation is very neat, the soldiers do not squint, stand straight, rows of short knives, in the sun looks particularly dazzling.
"General, what do you think of our army?" Liu Bei smiled and grabbed Zhou Yu's hand, suggesting that he was not in danger.
"It's very well-organized." Zhou Yu said in shock.
At this time, Zhuge Liang feather fan waved, and the soldiers raised the short knives in their hands in unison, colliding with each other, making a crisp sound, and at the same time, a neat voice came: "Welcome to the Governor of Zhou!" ”
Hearing the soldiers shouting like this, Zhou Yu relaxed a little, pretending to be calm and waved his hand at the soldiers, the soldiers saw the gesture, but shouted again: "Please ask the Metropolitan Governor for guidance!" ”
Liu Bei also waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately shouted again: "Restore the Han Dynasty, for the country and the people." ”
Zhou Yu was extremely surprised and deeply shocked, Liu Bei took Zhou Yu's hand like this, walked along the Huangsha Road, greeted the fluttering colorful flags, and went straight to the mansion.
The shouts of the soldiers along the way continued, Liu Bei was proud, but Zhou Yu was shocked, such a team, its combat effectiveness is self-evident, but it is a great disaster in Jiangdong.
Of course, this idea is also the result of Wang Baoyu's participation, so it not only looks decent, but also can beat Zhou Yu, and the army here is not easy to mess with.
After entering the Xiakou Mansion, the wine and food had already been prepared, and after Zhou Yu sat down, his heart finally fell to the ground.
Only Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu participated in the banquet here, and there were only Zhou Yu and Lu Su over there.
Zhou Yu drank three glasses of convulsive wine, and then he regained his calm demeanor. Liu Bei first thanked Zhou Yu for his troops on the south bank and defeated Cao Cao, so that Jiangdong and him Liu Bei could be preserved.
Zhou Yu bragged in a big way, if it weren't for Cai Mao and Zhang Yun who suddenly killed, they would have conceded to the ban of 200,000 troops, all of whom would have gone and had no return, and at this moment they had already waved their troops north to take the imperial capital.
After drinking for a while, Zhou Yu finally couldn't help but get to the point, "Xuande Gong moved troops to the mouth of the oil river, could it be that he had the intention of taking Nanjun?" ”
"Fourth brother, but you mentioned this to General Zhou?" Liu Bei deliberately lowered his face and asked Wang Baoyu in a deep voice.
Wang Baoyu had a bitter face, "Big brother forgives sins, the governor is a sincere person, so I will say it in passing." ”
"Xuande Gong don't want to complain about Baoyu, if you really have this intention, the world will know sooner or later." Zhou Yu said a word for Wang Baoyu.
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, I heard that the general wants to take Nanjun, so I went to help." If the governor dislikes that Nanjun is too small, he will take it and rest for the time being. ”
"Xuande Gong's words are wrong, Jiangdong has wanted to take Jingzhou for a long time, and now Cao Bing has retreated, and Nanjun is under control, how can you not take it?" Zhou Yu was a little anxious.
Zhuge Liang coughed and interjected: "Although Cao Cao returned to the north, Cao Ren, who was stationed in Nanjun, must have a plan, Cao Ren is unstoppable, but I am afraid that the governor will not be able to take Nanjun, but he will be damaged." ”
"Cao Cao's million-strong army is not afraid, why not be afraid of Cao Ren!" Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly stood up.
"If I say I can't take it, I can't take it, but if I get the help of our army, the odds are great." Zhuge Liang had long known Zhou Yu's temper and continued to shake his fan to anger him.
"Hmph, Sun Liu Alliance, how much will the Xuande soldiers lose?" Zhou Yu sneered and asked, the implication is that we are all fighting the country, don't mention any bullshit cooperation issues, and believe you again, I will be fooled for the second time.
Liu Bei didn't answer, Zhuge Liang still shook the goose feather fan and said unhurriedly: "Baoyu served as the deputy governor during the war, and my lord also attacked Cao Bing several times, so the credit should not be calculated by damage." ”
"Mr. Kong Ming doesn't need to say much, the soldiers of Jiangdong don't need to help, and they will also take Nanjun." Zhou Yu's tone was resolute.
"What if the governor can't take Nanjun?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"If you can't take Nanjun, let Xuande Gong take it!" Zhou Yu slapped the table and said.
Seeing a hint of cunning flashing in Zhuge Liang's eyes, Lu Su, who was mostly silent, finally couldn't help but speak, "Governor, this matter must be considered in the long run. ”
"Exactly, there are occasional Jiangdong soldiers who disobey the young arbitrariness of the metropolitan governor, so they still follow what Zijing said and think in the long run." Zhuge Liang said.
"No need to discuss it anymore, it's decided!" Zhou Yu was provoked by Zhuge Liang in the end, it was nothing more than Cheng Pu's old generals, in the Jiangdong Army, his prestige was accumulated by his achievements! So Zhou Yu took out the momentum of the metropolitan governor and made a final decision.
Lu Su lowered his head, and felt in a trance in his heart that he had fallen into Zhuge Liang's trap again, and sure enough, Liu Bei said with a smile: "If the general can't take Nanjun, we will take it, I'm afraid that the governor will regret it." ”
"The eldest husband has said everything, why regret it?" Zhou Yu said.
"Okay, since this is the case, the Metropolitan Governor will go to take Nanjun, and we will not interfere." Zhuge Liang said, ordered someone to get the documents, and wanted to sign an agreement with Zhou Yu.
"Yes, if you don't have any evidence, you have to sign an agreement." Wang Baoyu clapped his hands in welcome.
Lu Su didn't agree, he didn't sign it, he said that he couldn't write because of his hand pain, he only said that everyone was there, and the matter was decided, so he naturally wouldn't regret it when the time came.
Eating is fake, negotiation is the ultimate goal, and the Chinese have the habit of talking about things at the wine table since ancient times.
Now that the matter has been negotiated, Zhou Yu and Lu Su said goodbye and left, the soldiers who lined up to welcome them have dispersed, but a group of women have been replaced on both sides of the road, shouting in their mouths, the metropolitan governor is mighty, and the metropolitan governor is domineering.
These words sounded pleasing to the ear, and Zhou Yu left with confidence, and felt that he would definitely be able to win Nanjun.
Afterwards, Liu Bei couldn't help but ask Zhuge Liang worriedly: "If Zhou Yu really takes Nanjun, won't there be no place for us?" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I expect that Cao Ren will definitely be prepared, Zhou Yu's arrogant army will be defeated, and both will be defeated at that time, so we will take the opportunity to take it, but it will not take any effort." Zhuge Liang said confidently.
"Baoyu, can you figure it out, can my brother go to Nanjun to sit down?" Zhuge Liang looked at Wang Baoyu again.
"Mr. Kong Ming is right, we should take advantage of the fisherman, well, according to my calculations, we can not only own Nanjun, but even have a lot of places in Jingzhou." Wang Baoyu said.
Liu Bei was superstitious, and when he heard Wang Baoyu say this, his heart really let go, but he sold Wang Baoyu an empty favor, and he said regretfully: "The fourth brother won my heart, but it's a pity that my two little girls were taken captive by Cao Cao, otherwise, I would definitely marry the little girl to Baoyu as my wife." ”
