Chapter 31: Threats and Inducements
No one understands how valuable Zhou Yu really is. Tian Feng, Guo Jia and others didn't understand. Even Sun Ce, he didn't know what Zhou Yu meant.
However, Zhang Lang was clear in his heart. In his mind, Zhou Yu's work is irreplaceable. In terms of leading the army, he is the only one in the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang is strong in internal affairs, Guo Jiasheng is in the odd army, and Pang Tong is good at conspiracy. In terms of commander-in-chief, Zhou Yu said second in the Three Kingdoms, and no one dared to call him first.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu, who has a narrow temperament, no one in his eyes, and is jealous of his ability; Zhou Yu, who sacrificed many poisonous schemes in order to kill Liu Bei, was finally killed by Kong Ming's three angers, and fell into the laughing stock of eternity.
And is that really the case?
It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.
A man whose soul has been distorted by history, a man who has been infamous through the ages and whose ambitions have been rewarded. Just because Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is in order to maintain the orthodox royal family and create the image of Zhuge Liang's wisdom incarnation. Zhou Yu has been wronged for thousands of years, and he has been pointed out by thousands of people.
Think of Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms".
This historical book, written in the Western Jin Dynasty, is based on Cao Wei as the orthodox history. Therefore, the book tried its best to cover up Wei Wu's defeat, so that the Battle of Chibi only used "Gong to Chibi, and the preparation for war, which is unfavorable; So there was a great plague, and many of the officials died, but they led the army back. The number of crosses is an understatement, and it is impossible to realize the decisive meaning of this battle in the final three points.
But even under the guidance of such a clear orthodoxy, what Chen Shou did for Zhou Yu is still a good biography: politically far-sighted and loyal; In the military, he is "brave and strategic", wise and brave; In terms of personality cultivation, the "surname degree is restored", and the taste is elegant. Especially in the battle of Chibi, which is so secretive in "Emperor Wu Ji", it is vividly and vividly depicted in "The Biography of Zhou Yu", and whether it is the pre-war "driving in danger" decision-making is broken; It is still to save the strong into the weak in wartime, and to break the enemy with fire; Or after the war, with a sober sense of the situation, Rio Tinto Jingzhou and Yizhou enterprising, all of which showed Zhou Yu's outstanding military talent in a detailed and profound way. Even at the end of the volume, Chen Shou commented unsatisfactorily: "Build the wisdom of dictatorship, the expression of the mountain people, and the real genius!" ”
However, it is such a talent, his eloquence and strategy, and his elegance and grace have been washed away beyond recognition by the torrent of time. Especially in order to foil Zhuge Liang and maintain the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, he became a small-scale, short-sighted and high-spirited young general.
Let's take a look again, although Zhuge Liang is only six years younger than Zhou Yu in history, he is no longer a person of the same era! Zhou Yu squeezed into the era when heroes competed for hegemony and determined the general trend of the world in the former Three Kingdoms period, but Zhuge Liang could only be cautious in the post-Three Kingdoms period and engaged in a tug-of-war.
At that time, it was Cao Ying and Zhou Yu who decided the pattern of the world, one unified the north, and the other led to the division of the world. "The Preface to the Praise of Famous Ministers of the Three Kingdoms" twice mentions Zhou Yu's decisive role in the three-point world: "The evening festival is strange, and it is divided into three points in Chibi", "Zhuo Zhuo Ruoren, Yaoqi Chibi." The three light parameters are divided, and the universe is temporarily separated. "There is no mention of the contribution of others to the three-point pattern. Maybe everyone will use "Longzhong Pair" as the basis to say that Zhuge Liang is the one who determines the world, which is too unfair! "Longzhong Pair" is, of course, the accumulation of Zhuge Liang's early years, reflecting his foresight, and he saw that Cao Ying's pacification of Jiangnan may not be successful. But for the "Battle of Red Cliffs" that decided the three points, Zhuge Liang's only contribution was to promote the Sun-Liu Alliance, of course, it was Sun Quan's side who had this plan first. Originally, Zhuge Liang snatched too many things from Zhou Yu.
The only failure in Zhou Yu's life was not to Zhuge Liang or Cao Ying, but to Sun Quan. If he chooses the orthodox Liu Bei, or chooses to unify Cao Ying, instead of choosing Sun Quan, who is like an upstart, will Zhou Yu end like this? No one is sure.
Every time he thought of this, Zhang Lang's heart couldn't control the surging.
Now, even if you can't come to overturn Zhou Yu's case, at least I will give you a new world of your own.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lang spent a lot of time calming down the excitement in his heart, trying not to let his emotions leak out.
Everyone also looked at Zhang Lang's uncertain expression on his face in amazement, not knowing what he was thinking.
It took a long time for Zhang Lang to come back to his senses, and he tried his best to say in a calm voice: "Zhou Yu, Sun Ce has surrendered to me, and I really want to get your help, because I know better than anyone how much you have a role, including Sun Ce." Say, how about you, so that you can work for me? ”
Zhou Yu looked at Zhang Lang with disbelieving eyes, he was very suspicious of Sun Ce's possible surname. But seeing Zhang Lang's expectant and serious expression, his heart couldn't help but start to waver.
Zhou Yu lowered his head, the gaze in his eyes was very complicated, it was impossible for an ambitious person to be so young and willing to die. As Zhang Lang said, I am afraid that no one can understand how much he is worth.
Zhang Lang looked at Zhou Yu and didn't speak, and added: "Ren Bi is so persistent, as long as you can learn to take a step back, he said that the country will come from you." ”
Zhou Yu's body was shocked, and he suddenly raised up, and saw Zhang Lang's eager eyes, with a slightly jealous and puzzled expression on the side. Zhou Yu suddenly felt a little proud and said: "If you want Zhou Yu to follow you, it's very simple, then it depends on whether you have the ability and courage." ”
Zhang Lang was overjoyed, as long as Zhou Yu didn't say no, there was great hope for this matter, and he said excitedly: "Okay, if you have any problems, just say it." ”
Zhou Yu was suddenly moved in his heart, if the sincerity on Zhang Lang's face was fake, then it could only mean that this person was too insidious. Zhou Yu said: "With the eyes of a general, you can see the form of the world clearly, can you teach it at once?" ”
Zhang Lang knew that the most critical moment had come. Said seriously: "The world is close to the end of the war, if nothing happens, within a few months, the Yellow River battle will inevitably break out, in my opinion, although Cao Ying's strength is not as good as Yuan Shao, but its courage is unmatched, I am afraid that it will not be long, Cao Ying will inevitably coerce the Son of Heaven, unify the north, and look at the Central Plains." ”
Zhou Yu nodded naturally and said, "Why is the general so optimistic about Cao Ying?" ”
Zhang Lang didn't want to think about it: "Cao Ying's vision and strategy are incomparable to Yuan Shao, plus the latter is a villain, a distant virtuous minister, and has millions of soldiers, but it is difficult to become a big weapon." ”
Zhou Yu said lightly: "What is the general?" ”
Zhang Lang thought for a while and said: "Cao Ying must pacify the north, and he will definitely look at the south of the Yangtze River, during which Lang will work hard to stabilize the defense line of the three rivers, strive to enter Jingzhou and Bashu in the west, and borrow the Yangtze River to the north to base Cao's army." ”
Zhou Yu was startled at first, then shook his head and said, "Although this is the best policy, I am afraid that it will be difficult in a short time." ”
Zhang Lang said slowly: "Take a step back, join Liu to fight Cao, and divide the world into three parts." ”
Of course, when Zhang Lang said Lian Liu, he was referring to Liu Bei, but Zhou Yu was already Liu Biao.
Zhou Yu's face changed several times, and finally he sighed, his expression seemed to have aged a lot, and he said softly: "The general's eyes are like torches, so what do you want Zhou Yu to do?" ”
Zhang Lang suddenly smiled and said: "Zhou Yu, why are you arrogant, if what I said is to be implemented, it is even more difficult, the battlefield is changing rapidly, I am afraid that only you can have this light car to be proficient." ”
Zhou Yu suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "General joke, if you really have such a bad experience, how can I defeat you?" ”
Zhang Lang said solemnly: "A hero has three gangs, and a fence has three fences. You don't lose to me, but to me and all my brothers. ”
Zhou Yu ignored it, but slowly closed his eyes.
Zhang Lang knew that he was making a decision, so he held his breath nervously and stared at Zhou Yu intently.
Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said something that disappointed Zhang Lang: "The general's matter is very important, can you let me think about it for a few days?" ”
Zhang Lang was a little discouraged, but immediately turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Since you say so, I don't force it, the so-called twisted melon is not sweet, so let's do it, Xiao Qiao misses you very much, and your family is also worried about you, I have already taken him over, and you have gathered with them in the past few days." ”
Zhou Yu stared at Zhang Lang for a while, and then sighed and said, "Zhang Lang, you are more powerful than the legend." ”
Zhang Lang didn't understand his praise and disparagement, and he didn't care at all: "Where, it's just that I am too concerned about you." ”
Zhang Lang then turned to Tai Shici and said: "Ziyi, you still take Gongjin down, take good care of him, don't embarrass him, if he has a problem, I will ask you." Speaking of the opposite, there was a hint of sternness in his tone. The dissatisfied look in Tai Shici's eyes, Zhang Lang could see it, so he said this.
When they all walked out, Tian Feng was a little worried: "Lord, you have repeatedly coerced and threatened, isn't this good?" ”
Zhang Lang said helplessly: "I have no other way." ”
Tian Feng said worriedly: "I'm afraid that even if Zhou Yu surrenders, everything will be perfunctory, and the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
Zhang Lang said coldly: "Fu Hao is relieved of this, Zhou Yu is very arrogant, although doing so will make him disgusted, but this person is very measured, what should be done and what not to do, he still understands." And his ambition is only afraid that it will disappear under our repeated suppression in the past few months. If he still has ambitions and wants to prove himself again, I am not afraid that he will not surrender, and I have a killer weapon. Zhang Lang thought of the petite and cute little Qiao, and couldn't help but laugh.
Tian Feng looked at Zhang Lang's confident expression, and admired it in his heart. Maybe at the beginning, he didn't understand why Zhang Lang valued Zhou Yu so much, but from the words just now, it was enough to prove that Zhou Yu was extraordinary, and Zhang Lang's ability to predict many times made Tian Feng dare not underestimate this Zhou Yu.
Zhang Lang turned to Tian Feng and said, "Fu Hao, you go and arrange it now, and in a few days you will take Qiao Xuan's family to Moling." ”
Tian Feng nodded understandingly.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.
Zhang Lang frowned.
Then a soldier came in and reported: "Lord, Bo Rou asks to see." ”
"It's her." Zhang Lang was surprised. Since the last time she offered a hundred knives, she hasn't seen it, and she doesn't know what she's doing.
Zhang Lang waved his hand, indicating that he would let her in, while he sat on the chair, drinking tea with peace of mind, thinking about his thoughts.
"General." A sweet voice interrupted Zhang Lang's meditation.
Zhang Lang raised his head, and when he saw Pu Rou's expression clearly, he couldn't help laughing.
It turned out that Pu Rou had a dusty face, especially the jet-black one on the right side of her face, as if she had a beard, and her clothes were dirty, not to mention that there were a few grass roots hanging on her head, and the whole image was as funny as it was.
Pu Rou didn't expect Zhang Lang to be so faceless, laughing without scruples, and deliberately said angrily: "What are you laughing at, it's not for you, the slave family is like this?" ”
Zhang Lang tried to stop laughing, squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, how did you make it like this, what's the difference between you and a beggar?" ”
After speaking, Zhang Lang couldn't help but chuckle again.
Pu Rou stomped her foot vigorously, suddenly took out something from her sleeve and threw it to Zhang Lang, and then said angrily: "This is what you want, you have to fulfill your promise in the future." ”
Zhang Lang took it over, and after seeing that it was a silver-white folding fan in his hand, he exclaimed: "Is this the goose feather fan you are talking about?" ”
Pu Rou sneered: "Exactly." ”
Zhang Lang's spirits were greatly lifted, and he could no longer control his long smile at the sky, like a crazy madman: "Hahaha, it's time for you to come to Tai Chi, it's really a charcoal in the snow, God help me." ”
Pu Rou was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Zhang Lang to be so intense, and then smiled weirdly: "General, don't be happy too early." ”
Zhang Lang was still indulging in excitement, he didn't hear Pu Rou's words, and said generously: "What's wrong." ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Pu Rou's eyes and said: "Although the slave family got the fan, it stabbed the hornet's nest." ”
It was only at this time that Zhang Lang woke up and said strangely: "What's wrong?" ”
Pu Rou blinked her eyes wide, and said with an innocent face: "I'm sorry to tell you, the senior sister of the slave family already knows that you asked me to steal her fan, but I'm afraid that from now on, you will have to deal with the endless pursuit of the junior sister from heaven to earth." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Lang's eyes widened and he exclaimed in disbelief.
Pu Rou pretended not to see Zhang Lang's expression, and said with a serious face: "This fan structure has been said by the slave family before, and the method used is also very simple. As long as you soak it in warm water for a pillar of incense, there will be ink stains on it. And there are those things engraved on it that govern the country and secure the country. ”
Pu Rou said again: "The task you gave to the slave family has also been completed, and you can do it yourself in the future." ”
Zhang Lang nodded, suddenly glanced at Pu Rou with ulterior motives, and said with a dark smile: "Do you want to divert my attention?" ”
Pu Rou suddenly felt a chill on her spine, and when her heart was not good, Zhang Lang had already spoken: "In order to repay the grace you gave me, Dian Wei, take good care of Miss Pu." Remember to help her change into clean clothes or something. ”
"Ahh Pu Rou and Dian Wei were stupid at the same time.
"This, this...... "Dian Wei" for a long time, still couldn't spit out a word, and his face was as red as a monkey's ass.
Zhang Lang waved his hand and said impatiently: "Let's go, don't be stupid here." ”
Pu Rou screamed, "Zhang Lang, what do you mean? ”
Zhang Lang turned his eyes around and said deliberately: "What about the guards, why don't you coax them out?" ”
The crowd was speechless.
After a moment of easy play, Zhang Lang took a few of them away, and then he had the heart to look at the folding fan in his hand.
ps: I only took the train home last night, and I have been in the hospital with my mother for the last two weeks, my mother's condition is not very good, I was transferred to the hospital last week, although Jinhua to Wenzhou is only four hours, but there is no laptop computer in the fire, so there is no update in the past two weeks, please forgive me.
