Chapter 539: Pang Tong Arrives
"Report - there is a Jingzhou envoy outside the camp!" Zhou Yu raised 100,000 troops to capture Xiangyang, but the army to send troops took a lot of time, during this period of time Zhang Liao, Sha Maha, Zhou Tai, Pei Yuanshao four people near Yangzhou four small counties all under the command of Yangzhou, continue to the south is the boundary of Jiaozhou, Zhou Yu now has no energy to conquer there, this place is one of the most prosperous boundaries in Guangzhou in later generations. However, it is still a barren land, after all, the current navigation technology is not developed.
Just like that, the army has been moving for more than a month, and the generals gathered in Changsha County to prepare for the army to enter Wuling County, but to go to Wuling County, you must pass through the Tiger Leaping Stream, the road here is narrow and steep, like a tiger taking off, the Wuling County guard is Cai Mao's cousin Xue Lin, has received information from Yangzhou, he sent two thousand men and horses to camp on the Tiger Leaping Stream, preparing countless rolling stones, fireballs for defense. By the time Zhou Yu finished gathering his men and horses and preparing to enter Wuling County, he already had to pay a lot of price to get by, and Zhou Yu certainly wouldn't be so stupid to let his soldiers and horses die. There is a road leading to Wuling County in Changsha County, and there is a waterway near Dongting Lake, and the coast of Jiangxia County can be reached 800 miles north of Dongting Lake.
"Who's coming?" After Liu Biao of Jingzhou discussed with Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, and Cai Mao, Cai Mao thought that his naval army was inferior to the Yangzhou army in terms of warships, but the elite of Jingzhou has always been a dead restraint of the Yangzhou army, and the overall quality of the Yangzhou army is not as good as that of the Jingzhou army. He felt that Zhou Yu's chances of winning were not great, and there were so many people in Jingzhou who were still afraid of Zhou Yu's child. But it's finally a bit of a long-brained person, Kuai Yue and Zhou Yu have a relationship, Jiangxia County Kuai Yue also has a sense of help, it should be Kuai Yue who came forward to persuade Zhou Yu not to use the sword in vain, but the two Kuai Yue Kuai Liang brothers are both Jingzhou's staff and the head of the Kuai family, the first consideration of the family interests is the interests of Jingzhou later, both of them know that Liu Biao is just a dry bone in the grave, Zhou Yu is now running Yangzhou Zhengtong and strong soldiers, even if it is for Jingzhou at this time to offend Zhou Yu is not a wise choice. Since they can't hide, then they recommend Geng Ping, a more talented and learned madman in Jingzhou City, to send an envoy to Yangzhou, Liu Biao has also personally seen such a person, and he is a little crazy to answer like him, and for an unkind person like Zhou Yu, Liu Biao wants to return the favor to him in his way.
"Geng Ping in Xiajingzhou - please inform Yangzhou Mu Zhou Yu that Lord Zhou will say that Geng Ping is sent to Yangzhou on the order of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao Liu!" After Geng Ping said this, he parked the convoy outside Zhou Yu's temporary residence in Changsha County, and then he did not get off the carriage but sat in the carriage, waiting for the Yangzhou army to go in and report, according to Geng Ping's design, Zhou Yu would definitely treat himself as Liu Biao and go out to greet him. Just waited for half an hour, there seemed to be no movement outside the car, and just as he was about to open the curtain to ask, he heard a footstep come to the frame and say: "I don't know what to say - there is no dignity and inferiority!" ”
When Geng Ping wanted to figure out who this person was, he found that the footsteps had left, and just when he was wondering, he heard a very high voice say: "I am sorry for you to say that your former classmates have come to pay a visit." ”
Zhou Yu, who was sitting in the mansion, knew that Yangzhou had sent an envoy, but he waited left and right and didn't see anyone come in, and immediately understood that the person sent by Liu Biao wanted to give himself a dismount, so he was not angry and still discussed with Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning how to march? Suddenly, a sergeant reported that there was a scholar dressed as a scholar outside who said that he was his classmate, which surprised Zhou Yu! He has not gone to any school or visited a teacher when he came over, if he is a classmate, he can only be counted as a classmate with Emperor Shaodi of the Han Dynasty, and he has already listened to his classes under Cai Yi, is he Cai Yi's protégé? The protégés of Cai Yi in Chang'an can be said to be all over the Han Dynasty, if this is a gimmick, it is also said in the past, no matter how this person comes, there is always nothing wrong with seeing him, and Liu Biao's envoy has been waiting for almost an hour, and it should be passed in to see him, otherwise it is really said that Zhou Yu is not enough to measure.
"Xingba, Hansheng and a few of you should step back first! Fengxiao and Dian Wei stayed - Zhou An, you go and invite the gentleman outside the door and the envoy from Jingzhou to come in together! "There are rules for meeting guests, and it is enough to have one or two regular guests to accompany them, so that these generals think they are going to demonstrate together, but this practice is inferior. Only Dian Wei and Guo Jia were left and right, as well as their personal attendant and housekeeper Zhou An, and all the new tea had been changed on the table.
"My lord, Jingzhou sent an envoy at this time not just to demonstrate, does it mean that you still want us to stop the army? Liu Jingsheng is really an old horseman, and he doesn't forget to pretend to be a handful! It's just that the lord, your classmates don't seem to be able to find a second person except for Emperor Han Shaodi? I really don't know where the sacredness is coming today? Guo Jia understood what Liu Biao meant, Zhang Zhao's crusade book and Zhou Yu's polishing, it can be said that Liu Biao has to be mad, after all, the level of Chinese people scolding people without dirty words is becoming more and more popular.
"Jingzhou envoy Geng Ping asks to see——"
"Pang Tong in Xia Jingzhou took the liberty to disturb, Haihan-".
Geng Ping and Zhou Yu looked indifferent to what it was, but the name Pang Tong was a little excited. I don't know when a popular sentence came out, that is, "Wolong and Phoenix Chicks have one person to settle the world, and there must be a reason for the Tomb Tiger to turn back, either to repay the favor or to take revenge!" But Zhou Yu is just smiling at these, if you want to be famous, you must have good propaganda means, just like in the romance, Wolong Zhuge Liang is to hand over the poems he wrote to the people to sing, as well as some of their friends and friends touting each other, making their fame more and more obvious, but Zhou Yu now has Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao are all resourceful, and the desire for talents is not as eager as before, after all, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are not vegetarians, and Wen Wu Wu will always divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield. After all, Pang Tong is the nephew of Lushan Pang Degong, and he is not as ugly as portrayed in the romance, but looking at Pang Tong without buns, he looks like a scholar dressed as a scholar, but he has a sword and a wine gourd hanging from his waist. Looking at Jingzhou Geng Ping's swarthy and thin skinny, there are also two mustaches, and his eyes are deeply sunken, judging from his face, this person is not a good stubble.
It is not clear whether there is anything to do with the two of them stepping forward and one foot behind, Zhou Yu opened his mouth and said: "Since it is a messenger, let's sit down first, but I don't understand how Mr. Pang is a classmate, as if I remember that we have never met?" ”
