Chapter 092: Ten Miles to Welcome

After all, Cao's army was the most combat-ready army in China at that time, and after Cao Cao made up his mind to take Jiangxia City first, Cao's army began to concentrate on storming Jiangxia County to govern Wuchang City. Although Guan Yu and Liu Qi relied on the strong city defense operated by Liu Biao and Huang Zu for many years to deal with Cao's army, after all, there was a huge disparity in numbers, and Jiangxia's defensive strength was gradually stretched. At this time, it was only a matter of time before Jiangxia City was broken. Although Zhang Fei's guerrilla tactics harassed the rear of Cao's army, the baggage transport troops attacking Cao's army played a good role in diversion. However, after Cao's army divided his troops to encircle and suppress, Zhang Fei was gradually forced to retreat to the Jiangling line, and could no longer threaten and contain Cao's siege troops. At this time, Gangneung City, which seems to be impregnable, is actually full of dangers.

Liu Bei sent envoys to Zhuge Liang many times to inquire about the alliance between Sun and Liu. Father Zhuge could only comfort that this matter was being planned, and he was in a hurry! The internal relations in Koto are complicated, and he can only do his best. As time dragged on, the war situation became more and more unfavorable for Liu Bei's group. At this time, both Liu Bei in Jiangling and Zhuge Liang in Chaisang were worried. The most critical step in Zhuge Liang's joint Wu anti-Cao chess game was rushing to Chaisang Road at this time.

After Young Master Zhuge rescued Zhou Yu, the group changed into war horses and went straight to Chaisang day and night. On the way, I met the rescue army brought by Lu Su again, and then I settled down. With the protection of the new force, Zhou Yu was a little settled. Lu Su and Zhou Yu rode side by side, and Lu Su explained the internal situation of Chaisang to Zhou Yu in detail in the past few days.

"O Grand Governor! That's probably the case! Now that the situation in Jiangdong is becoming more and more tense, there are detailed works to report that the offensive of the Cao army in Jiangxia City is becoming fierce, and Liu Qi and they may not be able to support it for long! Dead lips and cold teeth! If we hesitate any longer, the day of the fall of Koto is not far off! ”

Zhou Yu nodded, "Cao Cao sent assassins to intercept me this time, it seems that he doesn't want us to join forces with Jingzhou, I decided to return to Beijing immediately after receiving the secret letter from the lord, but Cao Jun was able to estimate the route and time of my return so accurately, it seems that Jiangdong is not stable!" The strong enemy is on the side, there are thieves inside, and the situation is not optimistic! ”

"Governor, we already have a rough idea of the inner ghost! The top priority at the moment is how to urge the lord to finalize the matter of joint resistance to Cao as soon as possible! The Metropolitan thinks so, too! Zhou Yu was suggested by Lu Su that Sun Quan should come back to fight against Zhang Zhao, and inviting Zhou Yu back has also become the most critical part of this joint Wu anti-Cao action. Since Zhou Yu is so crucial, Zhou Yu's own attitude towards Cao Cao's southern expedition has become extremely important. If Zhou Yu is also a capitulation faction, then inviting him back will undoubtedly become a salary to fight the fire. Although Lu Su and Zhou Yu have been friends for many years, they still know a little bit about Zhou Yu. But when disaster comes, it's hard to say what kind of attitude a person will have. Therefore, Lu Su directly urged Zhou Yu to persuade Sun Quan and Wu to resist Cao, in fact, this also has the meaning of testing Zhou Yu's attitude to a certain extent.

Zhou Yu is such a smart person, as soon as he heard Lu Su's words, he understood his intentions. He patted Lu Su on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Zijing! I, Zhou Yu, was entrusted by Brother Bo Fu's deathbed and vowed to do my best to repay Wu Hou! This time, I received a letter from Wu Hou and rushed back overnight, and I still don't understand it! ”

When the Governor said this, Lu Su was relieved! Now Jiangdong is worried about internal and external troubles, and the governor is the pillar of my Jiangdong Optimus! Lu Su lost no time in slapping Zhou Yu's ass.

"Hahaha, Zijing, kind people! When will you learn to say these flattering words! This is not like you Lu Zijing! You and my brother, do you still need these! Zhou Yu quipped.

Lu Su had only mobilized reinforcements after reporting to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan was deeply afraid that Zhou Yu would lose his support and lose his support. Therefore, after Lu Su led the troops away, Sun Jiao and Sun Huan were transferred to lead part of the garrison troops in the city to meet Lu Su and Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu and Lu Su's team met, they didn't have a cup of tea, and they saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and a group of men and horses roared over, leading the way wearing chain mail, carrying a three-foot long sword, and riding a jujube red horse. Behind him is a large banner embroidered with the big black characters "Sun".

Lu Su pointed to the banner and said with a smile: "This must be because Marquis Wu is afraid that the governor will lose, and he sent General Sun Jiao to meet the governor!" Among the ministers of Jiangdong, only the governor has won the heart of the lord! ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Su and didn't speak, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Sun Jiaoyao saw Lu Su and Zhou Yu's horse team from afar, and saw that Zhou Yu was in front of the team, so he let go of his heart. drove the horse forward, clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "The governor is fine, and the last general will rest assured!" The lord has already taken all the ministers to wait for the governor in front of the Ten Mile Pavilion! ”

Hearing that Sun Quan took his ministers out of the city for ten miles to greet him, Zhou Yu was very moved. Since ancient times, there has been a difference between monarchs and ministers, and even if they have made great contributions, most of them only send some high-ranking officials to greet the monarch out of the city to show respect. However, Sun Quan, as the lord of Jiangdong, actually went out of the city ten miles to greet him, and this etiquette was not grand.

Zhou Yu did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up the march. The respect between people and people is mutual, and the relationship between kings and ministers is no exception. The monarch treats you with the etiquette of a national soldier, and if you take your own merits for granted and take it for granted, then you are basically not far from death. In that year, Nian Qianyao supervised the northwest and returned to Beijing victoriously, and Emperor Yongzheng went out of the city to greet him to show his respect for Nian Qianyao. didn't expect that this guy didn't know how to advance or retreat, and actually refused to answer, which made Emperor Yongzheng very faceless, and as a result, he was demoted to nine levels in a month, and he was given to commit suicide after the most reluctance. This tragedy was caused by Nian Qianyao's own ignorance of advance and retreat.

Since ancient times, the most mysterious relationship is the relationship between monarchs and ministers. As a courtier, the most taboo thing is not to know respect and humility, and not to abide by the duty of a courtier. In this regard, Zhou Yu is an understanding person. No matter how generous Sun Quan treated Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu always carefully abided by the duty of a courtier. This is one of the reasons why Zhou Yu has been in Jiangdong for a while, and Sun Quan has not doubted his loyalty, at least not so far.

The ten-mile long pavilion is the place where the ancients greeted relatives and friends. In the Qin and Han dynasties, a pavilion was set up every ten miles, and there was a short pavilion every five miles in the future, where was the pedestrian, and relatives and friends often said goodbye here. Su Shi of the Song Dynasty had a poem "Dongpo Poems." Volume XXI. Send Kong Langzhong to the suburbs of Shaanxi": "The ten-mile long pavilion hears the drum horn, and the beautiful flowers and willows of a river. "There is a pavilion in the last five miles, called a short pavilion, and ten miles is a long pavilion.

Although Jiangdong is far away from the Central Plains, the infrastructure is quite complete. Sun Quan took Jiangdong Wenwu to buy water and wine for Zhou Yu in the ten-mile long pavilion outside Chaisang City. One by one, the sentry cavalry kept reporting the distance between Zhou Yu and here.

Sun Quan was dressed in the uniform of a Han general, looking at the official road to Poyang Lake. Behind him was Changshi Zhang Zhao, and the old gentleman held a tray with two wine bottles and a wine jug in the tray. This is for Zhou Yu.

Suddenly, smoke billowed from the intersection of the official road and the horizon.

"My lord, the Metropolitan Governor is here!" Sun Jingyu, who was next to Sun Quan, reported.

Sun Quan rolled his eyes and said in his heart, you are blind to me! You can see it with presbyopia, can Lao Tzu not see it? But he still nodded with a smile on his face!
