Chapter 639: Farewell to Wine
Liu Mang's fist made this envoy from Xu Du suffer enough.
"Don't fight, don't fight!" Over there, Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward to stop Liu Mang.
"Inner minister, fight, it doesn't matter, this Cao Cao is not a good bird, and this messenger is not a thing! We Yangzhou can still be afraid of him, how can Xu Du! "Guan Hai on the side is about to stop Xu Shu, and the last time Xu Du sent troops to Yuzhou, he hasn't retaliated yet.
"No, no!" Xu Shu didn't want to stop it, but if he continued to fight like this, this so-called angel would really go to heaven, so Xu Shu had no choice but to step forward and stop Liu Mang.
"Whew, whew!" Liu Mang finally let go of his hand, and the so-called angel on the ground was already less intake and more out.
"You, you, you!" This so-called angel looked at Liu Mang with a snot and a bloody face.
"What? Still want to be beaten? Liu Mang continued to speak, so frightened that the angel trembled, and finally simply closed his eyes and passed out.
"Huh?" Liu Mang frowned, he was also afraid that he would kill someone, this messenger who killed Xu Du, although he Liu Mang was not afraid of Cao Cao, but if he didn't give Cao Cao face, he would go to war.
Fortunately, Zhou Cang on the side stepped forward to take a look, and replied that he was still angry, and Liu Mang wiped his hands casually.
"That's it! Now you can tell me what news Cao Cao sent me. Liu Mang smiled at the deputy envoy on the side and said, this smile seemed to this deputy envoy to be no less than the smile of the devil.
Trembling, one of the deputy messengers who came with him picked up the big red thin from the ground. The prosperity of the Han Dynasty is the virtue of fire, so it is not the so-called yellow robe nor the golden holy decree, but a big red holy decree.
"Feng, Fengtian carrier. Emperor Han edict said. I, I, the king of Shu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, Kuang Fushe, Jixing, and the Han Dynasty..."The deputy envoy here trembled, and finally finished reciting the holy decree.
"Promoted?" Liu Mang listened to the words in this holy decree. His original Zhendong general is gone, he has become a hussar general, and even his cheap father-in-law has changed, from a mere Yangzhou pastor to a current auxiliary general.
These two official positions are above the second grade, and above them is the general who ranks among the three princes in charge of the world's army.
"When did this Cao Cao become so good?" Liu Mang was a little puzzled, looking at the messenger lying on his stomach below, Liu Mang was a little embarrassed, he came to announce your promotion. But he was beaten by Liu Mang so much that he couldn't take care of himself. It is reasonable for Liu Mang not to be. When Liu Mang was about to step forward to fake affection, Xu Shu was gloomy.
"Come on, send the two envoys and this Han general down to rest." Xu Shu shouted to his guards.
Soon several guards outside the hall stepped forward and carried the angels on the ground away, and the deputy envoy over there was completely running, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment.
"What's wrong with Yuanzhi?" Liu Mang also noticed the gloom on Xu Shu's face.
I saw Xu Shu gritting his teeth and spit out a few words from his mouth, "It's so calculated, it's so calculated, it's going to rise and fall." Go to the righteousness of Yangzhou, and the safety of Jingchu. ”
"Yuan Zhi. What does this mean? This Cao Cao sent this will to be promoted to a knight, he wants to reconcile with me Yangzhou? Liu Mang asked Xu Shu on the side. For Liu Mang, the so-called righteousness is not as real as strength, so he doesn't know much about this kind of verbal thing.
"Lord, not only does this Cao Cao not have the slightest intention of making peace with my Yangzhou, but even more, he also wants to insert a foot in the place where my army enters Jingchu," Xu Shu explained to Liu Mang.
"The lord, the lord's original Zhendong general, although the official position is not high, but he is a rare general with real power, who can manage the Jingchu Shuchuan generation, so when my army conquers Jingchu, I can occupy the righteousness, and even Liu Biao can be regarded as the lord's subordinates, but this time this hussar general is different, he Cao Cao wants to treat the lord as a champion!"
The most outstanding figure in the official position of the hussar general is the champion of the Han Dynasty, Hou Hou, that is, Huo Qubing under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who helped Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty break the Xiongnu, and he was already the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses at a young age, with unlimited authority.
The official position of the hussar general was shot down by him, if Huo Qubing gets another military exploit, then there is no way to seal it, or continue to promote the general, so that the authority is greater, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought of changing an official position to Huo Quai, and also wanted to take Huo Quai's military power, but Huo Qubing did so many things for your Han Wu Emperor, you can't directly take Huo Quai, then who in the world will dare to work for you in the future, although the main force of the Xiongnu was broken, but there are still remnants, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought of an official position, That is the current hussar general.
This hussar general sounds majestic, add a hussar in front of the general, it seems to be bigger than the general, it is true in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, according to the official position is higher than the three dukes, but this hussar general has a very pitiful place, that is, this hussar general does not hold the power of the army, you say he is civilian, there is a general title, you say he is a military position, he is not in charge of the army, the management is to accompany the Son of Heaven, in other words, a chief imperial guard.
So the hussar general that Cao Cao gave to Liu Mang was a complete joke.
"What about this auxiliary general?" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu with a frown.
"Humph! If this auxiliary general is his Cao Cao's subordinate, then it is indeed very good, at least he can be the deputy marshal in Cao's army, but this is for Wen Hou, do you think Wen Hou will go to Cao Cao's command to do things! And without the official position of Yangzhou Mu, then the lord will have no righteousness in your expedition to Jiangdong! Xu Shu said.
Liu Mang did not have the official position of General Zhendong, he did not go to conquer Liu Biao Jingzhou, because people are not under your control, Lu Bu has changed from Yangzhou Mu to an auxiliary general, and similarly, the current Yangzhou has also lost the righteousness of attacking Jiangdong, Jiangdong In the final analysis, most of the rich places are in Yangzhou's territory, and the others are close to Jiaozhou, which is basically a wild land.
This Cao Cao is really a good idea, as soon as this holy decree came, he immediately let Yangzhou rout the righteousness of the enemy.
"Inner phase. I'm so hungry for interrogation! Just when Xu Shu was explaining the meaning of this holy decree to Liu Mang. Over there, a subordinate of Xu Shu walked in. said respectfully to Xu Shu.
"This is a confession!" This Xu Shu's subordinate taught Xu Shu a blood-stained letter.
Xu Shu looked at it at a glance, and the more he looked at this, the more frowning he became, and in the end, the gloomy color on his face was already overflowing, "The ghost talent Guo Fengxiao is really worthy of his reputation." ”
"My lord, this is the confession of the deputy envoy." Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.
"Deputy?" Liu Mang also took it and looked at it. Sure enough, this is the confession of the deputy envoy who sent a letter to Cao Cao, with this person's name and place of origin, as well as what position he holds in Cao Cao's army. What he came to this time, and what Cao Cao commanded, were all on it. Liu Mang could only sigh that Xu Shu's speed was so fast, and this confession was naturally not taken by the deputy envoy to confess, but must have been prepared by Xu Shu.
In fact, most of the credit for this forced confession is still his Liu Mang's, if it weren't for him, the envoy was beaten to the point that he was about to vomit blood, and the person also fainted, and his face and body were stained red with blood, how could this deputy envoy be so cooperative, for the sake of his life, naturally Xu Shu's people would say whatever they asked.
"Let Jingzhou Liu Biao and Jiangdong Sun Ce practice?" Liu Mang was surprised, because what was written on this confession was that Liu Mang's position as a general in Zhendong was given to Liu Biao by Cao Cao. Although Yangzhou Mu is not Sun Ce, Jiangdong has the official position of a general of Zhengdong.
Logically speaking. This general Zhengdong is under the command of General Zhendong, Cao Cao gave Jiangdong this official position is really an attempt, he is the deputy general of General Zhendong, Cao Cao gave this official position because he wanted the two to be an alliance!
"This Jiangdong Sun Ce will agree!" Liu Mang doesn't understand, Sun Ce and Liu Biao are rivals, this Cao Cao wants to reconcile these two by virtue of his official position? Forming an offensive and defensive alliance?
Although it is said that there are no eternal enemies between this princes, only eternal interests, but this Sun Ce is a different person, the inheritance of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, he got is originally very upright, and Liu Biao has a grudge against Sun Ce for killing his father.
Sun Ce can surrender anyone, he will not surrender Liu Biao, and the hatred of killing his father is not shared.
"If this Sun Ce doesn't agree, he won't send his second brother to Xu Du to congratulate Cao Cao's wife!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang on the side, for Sun Ce, Xu Shu doesn't know much about it, because Xu Shu has always dealt with the affairs of Yangzhou, and the enemy is also Liu Bei and others in Yuzhou, Sun Ce naturally has Chen Gong and others from Lujiang to deal with, so if you let Chen Gong come to it, he will naturally have an idea with Liu Mang, that is, it is impossible for Sun Ce to practice with Liu Biao.
"His second brother?" Liu Mang suddenly sounded, and a person came, "Is it Sun Quan?" ”
"Yes! This Cao Cao's deputy envoy said that Sun Quan, the second prince of Jiangdong, sent a congratulatory gift to their Lady Bian. Xu Shu said to Liu Mang, if it wasn't for Sun Ce's permission, how could it be.
"That's not right!" Liu Mang shook his head. Something is wrong with this, Jiangdong Sun Quan? If this Sun Ce wants to show friendship with Cao Cao, he can just send an envoy directly, why should he borrow his younger brother's hand?
"Lord, without further ado, we should immediately send troops to Jiangdong!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang, Cao Cao gave General Liu Biao Zhendong, it doesn't matter, because the current Yangzhou is not like attacking Jingzhou at all, but it can't be like this for Jiangdong.
Jiangdong has more soldiers, Jingzhou has more wealth, if the two are combined, then this fun will be great, so now this envoy has not yet come to Jiangdong to announce his will, directly send troops to take Jiangdong, and when the time comes, see who this Liu Biao is allied with.
"Still not right!" Liu Mang was still shaking his head: "Yuan Zhi, wait for a while!" ”
"The lord can't wait, this Kong Ming finally sent Jiangdong's main water army into the Yangtze River, if you wait any longer, this Jiangdong will be difficult to do!" Xu Shu persuaded bitterly, he didn't clean up Jiangdong before, it was because Jiangdong was too poor, and even if he was defeated, there would be no oil and water, and there was another point, that is, Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang were using troops against Jiangling, and they had to go all out to take Jiangling, a rich place, first.
Jiangdong is just surviving, he wants to recruit soldiers, you have to have money, over the years, in addition to Jiangdong's victory on the battlefield in Jingzhou, when it comes to the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou, it is more than you lose, and you can't make ends meet.
Therefore, the issue of conscription in the capital city was put down in Jiangdong, but once Jingzhou and Jiangdong were united. Then this one is not easy to do. With Jingzhou's money. It is impossible to expand the army of Jiangdong by 100,000, but it is still feasible to have another 70,000 or 80,000.
You must know that the people of Jiangdong are fierce, and these places in Danyang and Jiaozhou are all places that produce elite soldiers, once Jiangdong has a chance, then this is another war of attrition.
Liu Mang is also hesitating, whether to send troops to attack Jiangdong or not, the current Jiangdong is completely chicken for Liu Mang. It's a pity to eat tastelessly and abandon it, and not only does it not have money to attack Jiangdong, but it may also have to pay for it. In order to attack Jiangdong, it may even be necessary to put on a groundrun shipbuilding plan with Yangzhou. Liu Mang didn't want to use troops against Jiangdong, that was because Liu Mang wanted to force Jiangdong to surrender.
Jiangdong is now in a predicament, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou has enough money, so if he loses the battle, he can eat and drink enough, but Jiangdong Sun Ce is different, he originally lifted his belt, pressed his stomach down, and used the money from food to fight. Just like the Japanese in later generations, if it is not to feed the war with war. Otherwise, once defeated, then the vitality will be greatly injured, and there is no need for Liu Mang to send troops, the Jiangdong clan and the people can push Sun Ce down, these days, Yangzhou's commerce is developing again, cement, and some of the armor that has been circulated are consuming Jiangdong's money, Jiangdong's money is constantly pouring towards Yangzhou, Jiangdong can be said to be exhausted. If you push him too much, he may really come to a trapped beast betta and break the net, Liu Mang doesn't want his elite soldiers and horses to be lost on Jiangdong.
"Zhou Cang!" Liu Mang suddenly said to Zhou Cang on the side, "Go, call Lu Shangshu for me!" ”
"Called Zijing?" Xu Shu was a little puzzled as to what Liu Mang was going to do.
"Yes!" Zhou Cang left immediately, and soon Lu Su was summoned.
"Lu Su pays a visit to the lord." Lu Su was very strange, it was already late this day, and he Lu Su was ready to wash and go to bed, but he was called into the hall by Zhou Cang.
"Zijing, what do you know about Sun Quan?" Liu Mang saw it one after another and immediately asked straight to the point.
"Two, second son?" Lu Su was stunned, he didn't understand why he was called late at night to ask about Sun Quan, and subconsciously Lu Su called Sun Quan in Jiangdong.
"The lord, the minister is now the minister of Yangzhou, and he is under the command of the lord, and he will definitely not be nostalgic for the old lord!" Lu Su hugged his fists at Liu Mang and said, he thought that Liu Mang suspected that he had something to do with Jiangdong.
"The lord and the minister are incompetent, and I also ask the lord to remove the minister from the post of secretary of the ministry." Lu Su's eyes were a little gloomy, didn't he want to show his talent on the stage of this troubled world. However, if he was called by Liu Mang late at night, then the lord should doubt himself.
"Exempt you from the Ministry of Justice?" Liu Mang shook his head with a wry smile, "Zijing, Zijing, what are you talking nonsense." If this official leaves you, Lu Su and Lu Zijing, where will I find such a talented and upright scholar? ”
"The lord invited his ministers so late?" Lu Su looked at Liu Mang suspiciously.
Liu Mang only then knew that this was Lu Su's misunderstanding, Lu Su was a subordinate, what this subordination was most afraid of was the suspicion of the lord, this Liu Mang's words naturally made Lu Su disheartened, if Liu Mang asked Sun Ce, the lord of Jiangdong, Lu Su would not have such a reaction, but Liu Mang asked his old master Lu Su, which is difficult not to make Lu Su think more.
"I just wanted to ask you what you think of this Sun Quan! How much does this second son of Jiangdong know! Liu Mang said to Lu Su.
"Don't worry, Zijing, my lord has always used people without suspicion." Xu Shu on the side also smiled at Lu Su like this.
"Know yourself and know your enemy." Lu Su used these four words to describe his understanding of Sun Quan. If you want to say who is most familiar with Sun Quan in this world, except for Sun Quan himself, Lu Su knows him better than Sun Quan, because Lu Su is a bystander, Lu Su and Sun Quan have known each other for a long time, the two were at first sight, Sun Quan had Taotao's revenge, and Lu Su also had a heart from the dragon, so the two hit it off.
Sun Quan's behavior in Jiangdong made Lu Su nod straight, because Sun Quan has the momentum of a generation of heroes in all aspects, he can make friends with the scholars, he can coordinate the locality, and even know very well in military law and strategy, and he is a beautiful man.
But what Lu Su never expected was that because the excellent brother above was pressed on top of his head, so that Sun Quan lost his mind again and again, generosity, this is what Sun Quan lacks the most, he can't see what his brother is doing for himself for this Sun family, but what he sees is that his brother is blocking in front of him, and his brother's brilliance covers himself.
In the battle of Linhuai, it was possible for Lusu to win. Even no matter how bad Lu Su is, he can tie with Zhang Liao. But at least it has gained a foothold in Jiangbei. But Sun Quan was too anxious for quick success, for the sake of the military power forced away the generals Lu Meng and Ling Cao, in order to be able to get rid of his brother and stand on his own, he wanted to prove himself with a battle, but in the end he did not listen to Lu Su's persuasion, and was seized by Zhang Liao to eliminate the north bank of the Yangtze River, and finally he was arrested.
Why did Lu Su rebel against Jiangdong and take refuge in Yangzhou, most of the reasons were done by his Sun Quan. In order to survive for himself, Sun Quan didn't care about Lu Su and Lu Zijing, who shared weal and woe with him, only thought of himself, which made Lu Su disheartened.
"Does this Sun Quan have great ambitions?" Liu Mang looked at Lu Su with glittering eyes and asked.
"Second son!" Lu Su didn't want to say, what does it mean to have great ambitions, Sun Quan is just a courtier in Jiangdong, the master of Jiangdong is Sun Ce is his elder brother, unless his brother is dead, otherwise even if he has great ambitions, Sun Quan is doomed to achieve nothing, but seeing Liu Mang looking at himself directly, he can only nod his head, "Yes!" ”
"Zijing, you know! Koto Little Overlord. Wu Hou Sun Ce actually sent a letter to Cao Cao, pleading with Cao Cao. I want Cao Cao to help him let him form an alliance with Jingzhou, and worship Liu Biao as the leader of the alliance to jointly resist my Yangzhou army! Liu Mang said to Lu Su.
"Impossible!" Lu Su vetoed without thinking about it, "Lord, where did you get the news from, this Jiangdong Sun Ce will definitely not ally with Jiangdong." "Sun Ce's short-tempered Lu Su doesn't know? According to Sun Ce's temper, if he didn't kill Liu Biao, he was already wrong, and he begged Cao Cao? Still allied with Jingzhou? Still worship Liu Biao as the leader of the alliance?
To say something unpleasant, Sun Ce was defeated, it was nothing more than surrendering Yangzhou, and he also had a chance to take revenge, but if you worship Liu Biao as the leader of the alliance, Yangzhou will not be destroyed one day, you Sun Ce is a courtier under the name of Liu Biao, and Liu Biao is his Sun Ce's father-killing enemy, how can you let Sun Ce face his father and mother in the future. Isn't it just a two-word bond that has supported Sun Ce to lay such a big foundation for so many years.
has the bonds of relatives, has a longing for his father, and wants to help his father avenge, so Sun Ce has the current achievement, you let Sun Ce let go of hatred and practice with the enemy? Is this possible.
Sun Ce has always been a very good-looking person, at that time there was a hermit named Gao Dai in Jiangdong, this person was a man who was full of wealth and wealth, and Sun Ce wanted him to discuss "Zuo Chuan", so he invited him out. At this time, I don't know why a villain came out, and this villain went to tell Sun Ce: Gao Dai is very arrogant, he thinks that the general is a martial artist, not a cultural person, uneducated, and he doesn't bother to discuss any academic issues with you at all, you see, what you ask him after he comes, he must say that he doesn't know. Then this guy ran to Gao Dai and said: You have to pay attention, Sun Ce is a person who wants to save face, he hates to be overwhelmed when people discuss problems with him, and he is better than him, so when you see him, you say you don't know. Bad enough, after Sun Ce invited Gao Dai here, he came to discuss academic issues, and sure enough, Gao Dai said he didn't know, and asked again, I don't know, and asked another question, I don't know, Sun Ce was furious, you really looked down on me, disdained to discuss problems with me, locked up! This is unacceptable, almost all those cultural people, those celebrities, and those scholars and doctors came out to intercede, Sun Ce walked upstairs and looked down, the black pressure was overwhelming, and the alley was blocked, all of them were people, Sun Ce thought, this Gao Dai "fans" are so much, this is still worth it, kill, kill Gao Dai, for his face, kill a person who should not be killed.
Now this Liu Biao is his father-killing enemy, this Cao Cao Sun Ce also laughed, and asked Sun Ce to send someone to Cao Cao to intercede and live, so that he could worship under the command of Liu Biao, the father-killing enemy, where did he put Sun Ce's face!
"If it's not this little overlord of Jiangdong, then who can mobilize this second prince of Jiangdong, Sun Quan, to go to Xudu to congratulate Cao Cao's wife Bian on her birthday?" Liu Mang looked at Lu Su with a smile.
"Naturally, naturally, yes" Lu Su subconsciously wanted to answer, but he still closed his mouth, he didn't know what he thought, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Lord, you don't want to test Lu Su." ”
"This is naturally his Sun Quan and Sun Ergongzi himself." Liu Mang helped Lu Su answer this question, Sun Quan is the second son of Jiangdong, except for Sun Ce who can make Sun Quan move, then Sun Quan is the only one.
But this time, Jiangdong Sun Ce did not ask Sun Quan to send someone to send a congratulatory gift to Cao Cao, so this problem came, this behavior was done by his Sun Quan privately. What exactly does this Sun Quan want to do? In addition, Sun Quan has great ambitions. This is even more suspicious.
"Moham!" Lu Su's eyes widened, "Second son." Second son, you really want to get to that point! ”
"Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, I should have thought of it a long time ago, I should have thought of it a long time ago!" Liu Mang muttered to himself.
"My lord, why do you know that this Jiangdong Sun Quan sent an envoy behind his eldest brother's back?" Xu Shu asked Liu Mang on the side.
"Hehe, it's not that I am like a god, but our army division under Cao Sikong sued me!" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu.
"Cao Cao's army?" Xu Shu was stunned: "Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao?" Xu Shu is even more confused, this Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao. If you want to kill Liu Mang, how can you tell Liu Mang about this.
"That's because our Guo family, Mr. Guo Fengxiao, once had such an evaluation of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong," Liu Mang said to Xu Shu, Xu Shu and Lu Su on the side were listening attentively, "Ce is light and unprepared, although there are millions of people, it is tantamount to traveling alone in the Central Plains." If the assassin rises, the enemy of one man. In my opinion, I will die at the hands of the horseman. ”
Hearing this, Xu Shu and Lu Su all widened their eyes, "Assassinate Sun Ce?" Xu Shu and Lu Su glanced at each other, and they were surprised, this Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao deserved to be a ghost.
Because Guo Jia has seen Sun Ce almost thoroughly, and this person has also seen places that ordinary people can't see. Even if ordinary people knew that Sun Ce was arrogant and confident, they would never think of sending an assassin to assassinate him. Because Sun Ce's martial arts are very strong, he was a god refining martial artist at the beginning, and now he has reached the peak of god refining.
So most people will dispel the idea of assassinating Sun Ce, but they have forgotten one thing, that is, good swimmers drown, those who are poor in martial arts and don't know martial arts carry most of the guards when they travel, and only those who are strong in martial arts and confident in themselves will not care.
"Congratulations to the lord, Jiangdong has actually fallen into the hands of the lord!" Lu Su shook his head and congratulated Liu Mang.
"Zijing, aren't you happy!"
"Happy, not happy!" Lu Su shook his head and said happy, that's because if Jiangdong returns to Yangzhou, then he will be able to return to the Lu family, saying that he is not happy, it is because it involves his Lu Su's best friend, in all fairness, if there is no right, if it is not for this troubled world, I am afraid that he Lu Su and Sun Quan will be the same as Gu Zhi's boya.
……
In the Jiangdong Jianye, the former capital of Jiangdong, the former economic and political center of Jiangdong, in the past, it was full of people coming and going, lively and lively, but now the whole Jiangdong is a burst of depression, there are fewer people coming and going on the street, and more people have a kind of blindness and a kind of confusion on their faces.
The crying white cloth in Jianye is also a piece, this qiē in the final analysis, that is, Jiangdong lost, on the Yangtze River, lost in the field that the Jiangdong army is best at. The army of 70,000 was all sent to the bottom of the Yangtze River to feed Wang Ba.
These 70,000 strong represent 70,000 families, among which some families have lost their husbands, some families have lost their sons, some families have lost their brothers and fathers, and the war is so cruel that it is prohibitively cruel.
"Don't drink it, lord!" Above the mansion of Wu Hou in Jianye, a young man was holding a bottle of wine and pouring it into his stomach, and a large bottle of wine suddenly only reached the bottom of the pool. Another young man next to him was dissuading.
"Lu Meng. You get out of the way for me, don't get in my way! "This young man who drinks is Wu Hou Sun Ce, the master of this Jiangdong, and on the side is his general Lu Meng, and the army under Lu Meng is some old, weak, sick and disabled, even if they are strong, they are completely discouraged under the fire above the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is full of corpses, and there are roasted ones, and this barbecue smell even drifted to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, what is the meaning of these soldiers bringing it, so Lu Meng simply let them accept the city wall, and Lu Meng gave Sun Ce the duties of a personal guard in Wu Hou's mansion.
He originally thought that Sun Ce would be able to cheer up and re-recruit the troops and horses to prepare for battle, but he didn't expect that this lord Wu Hou was drinking heavily every day.
"The lord can't drink anymore!" Lu Meng said with a wry smile to Wu Hou Sun Ce, the wine jars over there are almost piled up. Drink it again, what kind of words will it become: "My lord, the army is waiting for you, waiting for you to re-select and redeploy troops and horses, and reorganize the army for war!" ”
"In the army? Where did you come from in the army? Do I still have 20,000 soldiers and horses up and down Jiangdong? Sun Ce drank the wine again and couldn't help but sneer, when Jiangdong was the strongest, there were 90,000 elite troops, and there were countless miscellaneous armies, but now, in the entire Jiangdong, it is a luxury to be able to take out 20,000 soldiers and horses. 20,000 soldiers and horses were lost by Sun Quan, 30,000 soldiers and horses were lost by Jiang Qin, and 100,000 troops attacked Wancheng by him Sun Ce.
"Lord, we don't have any soldiers and horses we can recruit!" Lu Meng persuaded Sun Ce bitterly.
"Recruit, hehe, what to recruit? Recruit with your life? Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said, you have to have money to recruit soldiers and horses, and you have to have grain and grass to recruit soldiers and horses, and now the treasury of Jiangdong can run rats, and recruit, most of the money and grain are all lost in Jiujiang, and now Jiujiang is in the hands of Yangzhou, Sun Ce can't even afford to pay the pension money and funeral expenses of the soldiers who died in battle, and he still recruits soldiers and horses?
"We can raise money with those warriors!" Lu Meng continued to give Sun Ce ideas.
"Huh, they?" Sun Ce sneered, "Die of this heart, these warriors wish I was dead, so that they could find their masters again." "The Jiangdong Shi clan doesn't want to fight either, they are already poor, they originally thought that they would carve up Yangzhou, who knew it would be like this, the Shi clan didn't want to follow Sun Ce to the funeral, so it was impossible to raise money.
"Lord, you can't drink it!" Lu Meng didn't know how to comfort Sun Ce, so he could only stop Sun Ce from drinking. As he spoke, he was going to snatch Sun Ce's wine bottle.
"Lu Meng, you dare!" Sun Ce's eyes widened, "I'll sue you Lu Meng, if you don't let me drink it again, you will get out of me!" ”
"Me?" Lu Meng was very angry in his heart, but he was unwilling to abandon his master, he Lu Meng was started by Sun Ce, so Lu Meng was grateful to Sun Ce.
"Lu Meng, let him drink!" Just when Lu Meng was embarrassed, a cold voice sounded.
Lu Meng's face was happy, because he knew who the owner of this cold voice was.
"Huh?" Sun Ce frowned.
"The Grand Duke!" Lu Meng shouted at the comer. "Hurry up and persuade the lord.1
The person who came was Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the number two person in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu should have gone to Qiao's house to marry at this time, but he and Qiao Gong got better, and even the dowry was down, but who is still in the mood to marry now, the whole Jianye City is full of white cloth, mourning and joy everywhere, he thought that Zhou Yu would be able to make Sun Ce not drink, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu sat directly on the ground, and no matter whether it was dirty or not, he sat down directly, picked up the wine jar on the side and opened the bottle directly, and poured most of the bottle at once.
"Good wine!" Zhou Yu wiped his mouth and shouted after taking a sip.
"That's how refreshing!" Sun Ce thought that Zhou Yu would stop him from drinking, but he didn't expect Zhou Yu to also sit down, this is the rhythm of getting drunk with him.
"Come on, come on, Lu Meng, sit down too! Let's have a drink together," Zhou Yu shouted to Lu Meng on the side. Lu Meng gritted his teeth and sat down.
"Let's have a toast, we won't get drunk today!"
"That is, how can a man not drink? Today we see off the Lord! Zhou Yu suddenly said to Sun Ce and Lu Meng.
"See you off?" Lu Meng was stunned for a moment, and even Sun Ce over there stopped his wine glass.
"That's right, see off the lord, from now on, there will be no overlord in Jiangdong, and there will be no Sun Ce in Jiangdong from now on. From then on, you and I will go our separate ways, and from now on, you and I will say goodbye to each other! The more Zhou Yu spoke, the more gloomy Sun Ce's face became, and in the end, Sun Ce's wine glass was put down.
"Come on! Drink! ”
"Bell!" The wine bottle fell to the ground, and the wine spilled in a heap. (To be continued......)
