Volume 1, Magic Oasis Chapter 15, Sympathy
Yangzhou, Poyang, the inner hall of the Governor's Mansion.
After watching the competition between General Junshen and Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, Zhou Yu invited her to the mansion for a short rest, and then discussed the joint matter. Due to the secrecy, Zhou Yuping retired from the servants in the inner hall, leaving only himself and the general of the military god.
In the inner hall, the two talked for about half an hour and finalized the details one by one.
Zhou Yu advised:
"As I said before, I would like to ask General Xi to lead the elite of your country to quell the Shanyue rebellion in the area of Huiji County with Lu Ziming (Lu Meng), the commander of Pingbei. When you have military achievements, you will recommend the general to Wu Hou in the future. I don't know what the general wants? β
The general of the military god still looked unfazed, and responded indifferently:
"Okay."
"As for the matter of cutting the land, according to what I can see below, the strength of Eastern Wu is not good at the moment, I am afraid that after the western expedition destroys Liu Biao and occupies Jingzhou, Wu Hou will agree to hand over the territory." Zhou Yu paused and asked respectfully, "I wonder if General Ji has any objections?" β
The general of the military god replied in a flat tone:
"There is no rush in the matter of land cutting. As long as the Marquis of Wu agrees to cede the land, the kingdom can wait until the Eastern Wu occupies Jingzhou before handing it over. β
At this moment, Zhou Yu was really a little unsure of this mysterious woman. The other party's attitude was flat, as if nothing could stir up waves in her deep gaze. Such a cold person, Zhou Yu has encountered it for the first time in his life.
However, since the other party had agreed to his suggestion, Zhou Yu said kindly:
"That's very good. I asked General Ji to rest in the mansion for a few days, and after some time, I would send someone to lead the general to meet with Ziming. β
Hearing this, the general waved his hand and said categorically:
"No need, the contemptible man will set out today. It's just that there is still something unclear about the contemptible people, and I ask the governor to give me advice. β
Zhou Yu smiled and immediately responded:
"Oh, General Him, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Did the Governor ever think that Marquis Wu intended to squeeze out the Governor?" The military god general spoke amazingly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu was stunned, and immediately asked:
"Why did General Ji say this?"
"The governor is a close friend of the rebellious general (Sun Ce), and he has made many military exploits. Although the governor was the first batch of people to support Wu Hou's ascension, after all, the governor was suspected of being a master of high merit, and his prestige in the army was very high. In order to consolidate his position in the future, he will inevitably suppress the governor. In terms of pacifying Shanyue this time, why did Marquis Wu only leave the governor to train the naval army in Poyang, but sent young generals such as Lu Ziming to fight? I am afraid that this arrangement will not only prevent the governor's power from overswelling in the army, but also gradually put the military power in the hands of young generals who can be easily controlled, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. From this point of view, the Governor needs to think carefully about the future. The general of the military god said it word by word.
Zhou Yu listened, and a faint smile crossed his face.
"Does General Ji want to be Su Qin?" Zhou Yu replied lightly, "But there is also something I don't know about and want to ask the general." β
"Governor, please speak." General Jun Shen said coldly.
"Have you ever thought that King Yue wants to get rid of the general?" Zhou Yu also spoke amazingly.
As soon as these words came out, the deep eyes of the general of the military god rippled slightly, but they were fleeting.
"Why did the governor say that?" General Jun Shen said coldly.
"There is a deep grudge between Soochow and Shanyue, which is well known. Although your country has tried its best to dissociate itself from Shanyue, in the eyes of many officials of Eastern Wu, your country and Shanyue are one and the same. Therefore, many officials believe that the so-called cooperation is just a trap, and there are not a few people who suggest getting rid of you. In fact, there is no need for a high-ranking and powerful person like the general to send an envoy to Eastern Wu in person, but the king of Yue sent a general to come, so there is no plan to get rid of the general under the pretense of Wu people? Therefore, the general also needs to carefully consider the future prospects. Zhou Yu said it clearly.
After hearing this, the general of the military god did not change his face.
"Does the Governor want to learn from Zhang Yi?" General Jun Shen said coldly.
The two of them couldn't help but feel happy when they thought of what they had just said to each other.
"Even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi are resurrected, they can't say that they are loyal to the lord (contemptible)." The two of them said in unison.
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled very tacitly.
In fact, in his heart, the general of the military god was surprised that Shicai and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled, which was extremely inconsistent with his own character.
Maybe this is the sympathy of the opponent in chess.
The general of the military god began to look forward to the future showdown with Zhou Yu on the battlefield in the future. She wants to completely defeat this elegant and personable "Mei Zhou Lang", so as to prove to the world the strength of women.

Yangzhou, Poyang, official road outside the city.
Two hundred cavalry galloped on the official road, kicking up clouds of dust. Each cavalryman carried two horses, one for riding and one for carrying a bag. There was a lack of good horses in the Jiangnan area, and formed cavalry units were even rarer. Now even this cavalry squad of only 200 people can't help but attract attention. Although the official road is narrow and the road is galloping, the team of 200 people has always maintained a good formation, which shows that it is well-trained.
The leader of the team is the cold and arrogant general of the military god, and behind her, Huixian, who is a subordinate, is like a shadow.
It was a scorching summer, and the trees on both sides of the official road were luxuriant, sheltering from the fiery sun. However, Rao is like this, the air is also stuffy and abnormal, and the group is hurrying, and they are all sweating at this time.
Since leaving the Governor's Mansion, the General of the Military God ordered 200 elites to rush straight to Huiji, where they would meet LΓΌ Meng.
At this time, the horses under the crotch had been running continuously for an hour and a half, and the general ordered the team to stop marching and dismount to rest for a while, so as not to excessively consume the horse's physical strength. Hui Xian took this opportunity to quickly take out dry food and water from the bag carried by the pack horse, and respectfully handed it to the general of the military god.
Seeing this, the general smiled at Huixian, and then waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it.
Huixian pulled out the cork on her skin and took a sip of water to relieve the heat.
After drinking, Huixian put the dry food and water back into her bag, then took out a silk handkerchief from her arms, and wiped the sweat on her neck for the general of the military god, while asking him:
"General, we rushed to Huiji on this trip, does it mean that the matter of land cession has been negotiated?"
The general snorted coldly and responded:
"Hmph, discussing with those stinky men to divide the territory is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger!"
"In that case, why did we agree to cooperate with Soochow so quickly?" Hui Xian asked puzzled.
The general of the military god smiled at Hui Xian and asked rhetorically:
"Has Huixian forgotten the purpose of our trip again?"
"No, no......" Hui Xian's pretty face turned red when she heard this, and she replied with a snort.
Looking at the shy and cute expressions of his subordinates, the general of the military god couldn't help but laugh a little, and the originally tense nerves were also relaxed.
"The purpose of our trip is not to make a few counties, we are to stabilize the rear of Eastern Wu, so that we can jointly attack Cao Cao from the north and south in the future." General Junshen patiently explained to Huixian, "The matter of cutting the land is just an excuse, which is the same as us pretending to be from the Yue country, just a puzzle laid to hide our true identity, what does it matter if it succeeds or not?" β
Huixian immediately came to her senses and hurriedly responded:
"So, Hui Xian understands! Thanks for the reminder! β
"Although it is a union, Huixian must not take the Wu people lightly. I can see that although Zhou Yu is respectful to us on the surface, he is actually secretly planning how to get rid of us in the future. General Wargod reminded.
Huixian was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked:
"Then we ......"
"Huixian, don't worry, I expected this to be the end. The so-called cooperation is nothing more than a false and a false one, taking advantage of each other. The General of the Military God paused and smiled, "When it comes to turning against each other, isn't there a way for our Heavenly Kingdom to counteract?" β
"Did the general have a plan?" Huixian asked.
A confident smile crossed the face of the general of the military god, noncommittal. I saw her looking up at the sky, and said loudly:
"After defeating Cao Cao, our goal will be to unify the world. Then I will make all the men bow down at the feet of the heavens. β
Huixian was overjoyed when she saw this, and immediately responded:
"Hui Xian will definitely do her best to assist the general in achieving this grand goal!"
As a subordinate of the General of the Military God, Huixian is full of reverence for the General of the Military God himself. Since joining the army, the general of the military god has been invincible and invincible on the battlefield. Under the leadership of such an excellent general, Huixian firmly believes that the final victory must belong to the Heavenly Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Huixian involuntarily picked up the silk handkerchief in her hand stained with the sweat of the military god general, and actually leaned close to her nose and sniffed it, with a happy smile on her face. Suddenly, she realized that such a move was very inappropriate, and hurriedly took the silk handkerchief into her arms, and her chest jumped in a panic.
Fortunately, he was not noticed by the general of the military god. Huixian secretly rejoiced.
After a while, seeing that the rest was over, the general of the military god turned over his horse cleanly, raised his horsewhip, and ordered loudly:
"All on board! The team moves on! β
"Yes!" Everyone behind him answered in unison.
Then the general of the military god raised his whip and led everyone to continue running in the direction of the destination.
