Chapter 30 Zhou Yu's Choice
Zhang Lang snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that without the Zhu family, I, Zhang Lang, will not be able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong?" Zhu Yi made such an unforgivable mistake, if they didn't have the spirit of righteousness and annihilation, and still held a grudge against this matter, they should have thought of this consequence. ”
Zhou Yu took a breath of cold air, he understood what Zhang Lang meant, if the Zhu family couldn't forget about this matter immediately and serve Zhang Lang wholeheartedly, once he was lucky and did something that shouldn't be done, the Zhu family was afraid that he would disappear in Jiangdong at that time. It seems that Zhang Lang's courage and means are really unmatched. But if you think about it, the Zhu family shouldn't be so ignorant, and what Zhang Lang is afraid about shouldn't happen, so Zhou Yu isn't too worried.
Zhang Lang obviously didn't want to talk about this anymore, sat down, personally poured a glass of wine for Zhou Yu, then raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about such a bad thing, come and have a drink." ”
Zhou Yu hurriedly picked it up and drank it all.
Zhang Lang wiped the wine traces from the corners of his mouth, looking at the infinite scenery of the lake in the distance, the water is like a flat mirror, the blue sea and blue sky, the lotus leaves are swaying with the wind, and many Shaou are flying freely on the lake. Zhang Lang sighed: "I don't know when I have the opportunity to really be free, accompany beautiful women, look at the lake and moon, chant poems, and live some idle life?" ”
Zhou Yu did not speak on the side.
Zhang Lang pointed to the green mountains in the distance, his eyes were very deep, and he said slowly: "Look at the mountains in front, the spring is green, the summer is thick, the autumn is red, the winter is white, the four seasons are constantly changing, but it is still so strong, the majestic shore is not grouped, and it has stood for thousands of years, why do you say?" ”
Zhou Yu didn't want to blurt out: "Because it is a mountain, a large number of solid rocks and sand and stones are piled up into a mountain, so the foundation is stable, the bottom is solid, the wind and rain are blowing, and the rain is dry, and it can't shake it." The seasons turn, year after year, all that changes is the appearance, but his connotation has always been as steady as ever.
Zhang Lang was a little enlightened, and said in a low voice: "Then you say, is my foundation stable?" ”
Zhou Yu glanced at Zhang Lang, his face was a little sluggish, but he still spoke: "The attack is not in place in one step, the house can not be improved in one go, and the foundation can not be laid at once." As long as you persist, it will accumulate over time, and the years will precipitate, and it will naturally come to pass. ”
Zhang Lang was immediately open-minded, turned his head to Zhou Yu and smiled: "It seems that I am still too anxious." ”
Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile, and said with deep meaning: "The moon is like a ridge, and it is gone in a blink of an eye, but there are mountains, rivers and seas, and the society is vast, can you not be in a hurry?" ”
Zhang Lang's eyes lit up, and he said to Zhou Yu: "Then what is the best way?" ”
Zhou Yu said with a serious face: "Attack naturally." ”
Zhang Lang glared at him dissatisfied, and said a little helplessly: "Actually, I invite you to come today, I want to hear your clear view of the battle of Guandu?" Can you give me an analysis of the future trend, what we should do, and what we should do next. ”
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Isn't the lord in his chest?" What else are you doing with your subordinates? ”
Zhang Lang said without anger: "If you say it, just say it, don't be like a mother-in-law." ”
Zhou Yu was a knot, and it was not that Zhang Lang had never heard foul language, but it was the first time that he was directly like this, and he felt that the relationship between the two was much closer. Zhou Yu straightened his mind and said: "The subordinates understand what the lord means, and they also understand that you are in a dilemma now, roughly in the battle of Cao Yuan, whether Zhang Liao should attack or not, and in terms of the object of attack, is it Cao Ying or Yuan Shao, right?" ”
Zhang Lang nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Zhou Yu deliberately bowed his head for embarrassment: "What about this......"
Zhang Lang was so angry that he almost wanted to pinch Zhou Yu's neck, blew his beard and glared: "Don't procrastinate, let go of a fart quickly." ”
This time it was Zhou Yu's turn to look at Zhang Lang with surprised eyes, he didn't expect that his boss, how could he be so vulgar and like a ruffian sometimes? It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds.
Zhang Lang rolled his eyes and said, "What to see, say it quickly." ”
Zhou Yu lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said: "Lord, it is better to say less about what you said just now, it hurts a lot." ”
Zhang Lang almost fainted and fell defeated.
Zhou Yu stopped snickering and said with a serious face: "A farmer saw a tiger and a lion fighting there, and this tiger and lion are not liked by farmers, lord, do you think that the farmer picks up a hoe and rushes up to help one of them, or fights two together, or is it better to watch from the sidelines?" ”
Zhang Lang didn't think about it and said: "Of course, I watched them die on the side." ”
Zhou Yu smiled: "Is there any difference between Yuan Shao and Cao Ying and them?" ”
Zhang Lang said: "Yes, of course there are, both of them have very sharp minions, and there are a lot of them." No matter which one eats which, the victorious one will become infinitely stronger. From an ordinary lion and tiger cicada to a real king of beasts. ”
Zhou Yu said: "The lord can rest assured, Yuan Shao has won, don't worry, although this person had great ambitions in his early years, but now he is so ambitious, he doesn't listen to advice, he is not a person who has achieved great things, and now he is burdened by his heirs." Once Yuan Shao ascends to the sky, he is only afraid of chaos in the north, and the sons will compete for power and seize the throne, and they will be torn apart, and there will be constant internal friction, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
Zhang Lang nodded and said, "I'm not worried about him. ”
Zhou Yu understood: "The subordinates understand that it is Cao Ying who the lord is worried about, but in the opinion of the subordinates, it is true that the lord has not intervened in between. Now that General Zhao's southern expedition can not be completed in three or five years, it is estimated that his subordinates will take at least a year and a half. So in this way, you have to pay a lot of troops, financial resources and food, you must know that after the lord took over Jiangdong, he has not stopped fighting every year. Speaking of this, Zhou Yu glanced at Zhang Lang meaningfully. Then he continued: "Liu Biao was able to withdraw this time, first, Liu Bei led the troops and let the lord take advantage of the gap, and second, their main purpose was to settle the civil strife first. That's why it's so easy to retreat. In this case, next, we should recuperate, train soldiers and horses, accumulate valley stones, and start targeting Liu Biao, according to our own strategic steps, step by step. ”
Zhang Lang laughed secretly and reminded: "Gongjin may not know, right? I'm afraid that Liu Biao's center of gravity has begun to shift to Shuchuan. ”
Zhou Yu said seriously: "The subordinates understand what the lord means, but the lord should not forget, with Liu Bei's official power and lightness, how can he stand up to what Cai Mao and Kuai Yue said?" ”
Zhang Lang was a little puzzled and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhou Yu explained: "Maybe Liu Biao will support Liu Bei and let him lead troops into Sichuan, but if the people of the local family led by Cai Mao make trouble in front of Liu Biao, how can Liu Biao let him go on the expedition with peace of mind?" ”
Zhang Lang was startled and exclaimed, "Really? Probably not. ”
Zhou Yu continued: "My subordinates thought it should be like this. In various places, the exclusion of outsiders is quite serious, this is the case in Jiangdong, and the same is true in Jingzhou. And Liu Biao is said to be single, flying to Jingzhou to take office, and can get the support of Jingzhou families? That's because Liu Biao had no choice but to give up the two most important parts: one was the military department to Cai Mao alone; The second is to financially let Kuai Liang as a handle. Just imagine, the two lifelines are controlled, how much power does he have? Thinking about it now, Liu Biao also has no way to do it, he hopes to control the two families in this way, and slowly develop his henchmen. But it doesn't look like it's working very well now. Then the biggest possible surname now is that Cai Mao and others ostensibly attached to Liu Biao and promised to let Liu Bei go on the expedition, but they would not let Liu Bei have too many soldiers and horses into Sichuan, and it is estimated that it will be about 20,000 or 30,000. And it's not necessarily the manager. If he has made meritorious contributions, he will be transferred back to Jiangling and given a position with officials but no power. If they failed, they also had an excuse to kill Liu Bei. ”
Zhang Lang said with a solemn face: "If this is the case, then it will be very difficult for Liu Bei to take the neutral country of Shu." Then our plan to build a defense line on the Yangtze River will be even more difficult. ”
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Having said that, but with Liu Bei's ambition, it is impossible to sit still." ”
Zhang Lang thought about it, and then turned back and said: "Since this is the case, it is impossible for Liu Biao not to take precautions, because their main force has no intention of entering Sichuan at all, if we attack in a big way and want to intervene in the Central Plains, then the emptiness of the family may make Liu Biao take a bite." When it is said that the danger of Xiakou is proof. If Liu Biao really wants to attack Jiangdong with all his might, the situation will be quite unfavorable for us. ”
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." However, if Liu Bei can't do something, it will be really difficult to take Jingzhou. ”
Zhang Lang didn't think about it and said: "Even if Liu Bei can take Chuanzhong, we want to take Jingzhou, don't expect him to help anything." ”
Zhou Yu was a little puzzled and said, "Why? ”
Zhang Lang said without a trace of expression: "Liu Bei is full of righteousness and righteousness, and Liu Biao is his clansman, will he do such a thing?" ”
Zhou Yu was stuffed and didn't know how to say it.
Zhang Lang said: "Okay, I understand what you mean, in that case, I will let people order Zhang Liao to stay still." ”
Zhou Yu pondered for a while, and suddenly made a decision, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Lord, my subordinates have an uninvited request." ”
Zhang Lang said gently: "Say it." ”
Zhou Yu said with a little excitement on his face: "My subordinates have always had a dream, that is, to train a group of steel divisions by themselves, but recently I have watched the method of the lord to coach the soldiers, and I feel deeply benefited. ”
Zhang Lang was overjoyed, helped him up, and said happily: "Gong Jin has this idea, which is exactly what Lang wants." It's just that I saw that you just got married, so I don't want you to be separated from your beloved. ”
Zhou Yu said gratefully: "The lord is so considerate of his subordinates, how can he only have enough for the private feelings of his children and daughters, and he should contribute to the lord's hegemony." ”
Zhang Lang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This is very good, I will give you permission, you can take Xiao Qiao with you, you can avoid the pain of lovesickness"
Zhou Yu raised his head fiercely, his eyes were full of surprise, and he thanked him repeatedly.
Zhang Lang waved his hand and said, "Then you go and clean up." ”
Zhou Yu happily said goodbye and left.
Zhang Lang returned to the inner courtyard and saw Cai Yan toddler in the house, babbling in his mouth, Wen Ji was worried and expectant watching on the side, her eyes were full of tenderness. The pair of sisters, one kept chatting with Yang Rong on the side to relieve boredom, and the other followed Zhang Yan, not a caretaker. When Zhang Lang saw this, he couldn't help but feel more comfortable, opened his hands, smiled and said, "Baby, let Daddy hug me." ”
When Xiao Zhang Yan saw Zhang Lang, he couldn't help but run over quickly, and he had to fall to the ground several times, but fortunately, Han Shuang caught her quickly. Zhang Lang also strode forward, picked up Zhang Yan, rubbed Zhang Yan's little white and tender face with the beard on his face, and urged: "Baby, call Daddy quickly." ”
Zhang Yan giggled, and said in a very crisp voice: "Daddy, itchy." ”
Zhang Lang laughed, his eyes were almost slit, and he walked over with Zhang Yan in his arms.
When the girls saw Zhang Lang coming back, they couldn't help but greet them.
Wen Ji scolded with a smile: "Yanyan, come and let my mother hug me, your father is very tired after a busy day." ”
Zhang Yan's little guy shook his head like a drum, and his little hands hugged Zhang Lang's neck tightly, obviously unwilling to come down.
Zhang Lang quipped: "Haha, she said that my chest is very gentle and reliable, so I won't come down." ”
The women laughed and scolded, and they were happy.
Zhang Lang wanted to let go of Zhang Yan, but this little guy really relied on it, as soon as he put it down, his big eyes became watery, and no one dared to guarantee that he would cry out in the next second. Zhang Lang had no choice but to hug her.
At this time, Zhang Lang came to Yang Rong, she crossed her waist with one hand, leaned on the chair, Zhang Lang glanced at her eyes, and praised her: "Rong'er, it's only eight months, your belly is bigger than other people's ten months, maybe it's a twin." You're so strong. ”
Yang Rong glanced at Zhang Lang, her cheeks fluttered with a faint flush, and she scolded with a smile: "It's not serious." ”
Han Shuang quipped on the side: "Master, it's you who are amazing." ”
Zhang Lang smiled evilly: "Really? Am I awesome? Okay, I'll show you awesomely, and next time I will let you conceive a triplet. ”
Everyone laughed and made fun of Han Shuang.
Han Shuang suffered from the disaster of no resentment, and only shouted there with a red face.
Everyone joked for a while, and Zhang Lang asked Wen Ji, "Is there any news about Zhen Mi?" ”
It turned out that since Zhang Lang took them back to Moling, Zhen Mi may have been puzzled, and began to travel again, and went for several months, even if they came back, it was only a few days, just talking to Yang Rong and them, and the next day, they went out to play again.
Wen Ji nodded and said, "A few days ago, they sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that they would be back in about ten years. Why do you have to catch up with Sister Rong's big event. ”
Zhang Lang sighed and didn't speak.
At this time, Yang Rong suddenly said something that shocked Zhang Lang, she said: "Husband, Guo Huan is also pregnant." ”
"What?" Zhang Lang almost couldn't believe it.
