Here it comes.

Before Guan Ping talked about Jiangdong famous generals with Xu Sheng, Lu Yi and others, Xu Sheng lamented that Sun Ce and Tai Shici were all famous generals back then, but they were all dead, and now only Zhou Yu himself can be called a famous general in Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu is majestic, open-minded, both civil and military, and after being with him for a long time, he will be intoxicated unconsciously like drinking fine wine, Xu Sheng is very happy to do things under Zhou Yu.

Now Zhou Yu has sent an invitation to Guan Ping, hoping that Guan Ping can join him in the battle.

But before Guan Ping could respond, Cheng Pu had already walked to Guan Ping's side in two or three steps, grabbed Guan Ping's arm, and said with a smile:

"Don't go, don't go-I heard Bo Yan talk about your killing Jiao Touch, you have a lot of ability, if you can afford to look down on the little old man, just fight with me, we don't respect the elders, if you can fight, I will listen to you!"

Cheng Pu is a native of Youbeiping, and he had heard Xu Sheng say that Guanping was very local, so he deliberately used a northern accent to solicit him.

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, as if he was not a northerner.

He smiled calmly: "Ah Ping's martial arts are excellent, and he only owes experience in the army." If you fall in love with Wen Xiang, it is better to ...... in Wen Xiang's army first"

"Hey, how do you talk?" Cheng Pu grabbed Guan Ping and shook it again, "No, it must be under the command of the old man - Ah Ping has made such a great achievement, and the old man will make him a lieutenant general, and he will lead an army alone in the future." Well, if you don't come, you will look down on my old bones! ”

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu couldn't hold each other, and at first they were just discussing who Guan Ping could play a bigger role in, but later the two became more and more angry the more they talked, and the two actually began to tear each other down. Cheng Pu's face was flushed by what Zhou Yu said, and he clenched his fists and rushed up as if he was going to fight Zhou Yu.

Guan Ping also wanted to go up and pull the rack, but when he saw Lu Yi on the other side, he slowly shook his head without a trace, and hurriedly forced himself to sit down.

He remembered the cunning look in Zhuge Liang's eyes just now, and his mind turned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Yes, even if Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu have competing interests, they will not be so out of shape in front of Sun Quan.

In this battle, the troops of the Eastern Wu country were handed over to the two commanders, and the two must show a little discordant atmosphere to make people feel at ease. And everyone was fighting, but Sun Quan didn't mean to stop it immediately, he smiled uprightly and said nothing, only when the two of them were about to fight, he raised his glass and smiled and let the two sit down.

Guan Ping remembered that when Lu Yi said that when he attacked Huang Zu before, Gan Ning and Zhang Zhao also had a fierce quarrel, and it was Sun Quan who smiled and said peace, and then Gan Ning was grateful and did his best in the battle with Huang Zu.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu have a very high status in Sun Quanjun's army, and it is estimated that they have figured out these routines in private, they used to have a little contradiction, and now they simply took advantage of a little thing to quarrel before sending troops.

That's what it is...... Checks and balances?

Maybe it's Jiangdong's inherent routine, but Guan Ping is still slightly chilled.

He remembered that his good brother Lu Yi especially respected Sun Quan and was willing to be loyal to Sun Quan, Guan Ping had no doubt about Lu Yi's ability, but he ......

Hey, you can't blame him, he really wants to be motivated.

Sun Quan could probably guess that Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu performed most of the ingredients, but he especially enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything, so he smiled more gently and brightly.

After appeasing the two cronies and showing that his trust in them is generally the same, Sun Quan turned to Guan Ping again and said with a smile:

"I don't know what it means to be frank?"

Guan Ping pondered for a moment and saluted respectfully:

"General, I want to ...... Go to Boyan's command. ”

"Oh?"

This surprised Sun Quan a little.

Before Guan Ping gave all the credit to Lu Yi, so that Lu Yi's reputation soared, and even overshadowed his uncle Lu Ji, and became the most prominent star of the Lu family in Jiangdong.

Driven by this psychology, they began to support Lu Yi one after another, and Sun Quan also pushed the boat down the river and directly named the young Lu Yi as a Zhonglang general, with a status equal to Cheng Pu.

But this only seems to be flat, Lu Yi's current power is far inferior to Cheng Pu, who has a deep foundation in the army, and he did not take on the main attack in this war, Guan Ping followed him, but he was afraid that there would be no chance of meritorious service.

The most important thing is that Guan Ping and Lu Yi were quite good friends before, and the two of them commanded an army, which did not quite fit Sun Quan's idea of checks and balances.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Quan smiled and said:

"That's fine. I wanted Tan Zhi and Bo Yan to practice well among General Su, since this is the case...... In this way, let's go all the way with Lone, go to Xiakou to meet Liu Yuanjun first, and then attack Xiangyang to contain the Cao thief? ”

·

Gangneung, a tall and sturdy old man dressed in coarse linen clothes hangs his head and wanders the streets and alleys of Gangneung like a walking corpse.

He did not return to Jiangling for a long time, and he had the impression that this was the most prosperous place in Jingzhou, even in winter, the city was always lively, and merchants gathered here, and countless goods from the north and south were delivered to the homes of ordinary people through the hands of merchants.

Thinking of the thick fireworks in his memory, the old man will always smile.

But now when I walk down the street, all I see around is a depression.

There were only warships on the riverside, caravans were only a handful, the doors of every house in the city were closed, and the long streets that used to be clean were full of beggars selling their children's beards with straw sticks, and countless corpses wrapped in straw mats, which were no longer silent.

The old man opened his broad palm, lifted a lucky passer-by like a chicken, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice:

"How so?"

The passer-by trembled in fright, and said in a trembling voice:

"Small, little don't know......"

The old man snorted, muttered to the man, and continued to walk slowly. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a woman's screams.

I saw the door of a private house open, several soldiers laughing, and dragged a woman out of the room quickly, the woman kept struggling, kept screaming, desperately opened her hands to ask for help from the few passers-by around.

The people on the side of the road avoided it, but the soldiers patrolling the street did not avoid it, and they also stepped forward with laughter and pinched the woman's face:

"Ordinary goods, what are you robbing her of?"

"Hey, it's good to have it, we won't be able to grab it if we don't do it again!"

The old man looked at the scene in front of him with a little confusion, and couldn't believe that this was a calm and serene Gangneung.

He heard that Cao Cao had been strictly restricting military discipline since he went south, and the old people in Jingzhou had also been promoted, at least in Jiangling City, there should be no such evil thing that destroys people's hearts.

But it did happen, and it did appear in front of his eyes, the old man sneered and put his hand on his waist.

He had a ring-headed knife hanging from his waist, which had followed him for many years, and although it was already a little notched, the old man was very confident.

As long as he made a move, none of these young people would leave alive.

But he put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and a hand reached out beside him, firmly grasping the back of his hand.

"Hansheng."

The man whispered:

"Bear with me, bear with me."

The old man glanced at the person who came, and saw that the person was Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family, and couldn't help but sneer:

"Didn't you say that the lowering of Cao Cao was in line with the way of heaven? Is it so smooth? ”

Cai Mao looked at the old man's eyes full of anger, and swallowed bitterly:

"Ben, that's not the case. Since the prime minister went south, he has been restraining the army and Ji Qiu without committing any crimes, but recently Guan Ping has repeatedly caused incidents, instigating the northern and southern armies to fight, and the northern army has accumulated grievances for a long time, so it is necessary to solve it a little. The prime minister invited you to Gangneung, you will be reused, and you can't make trouble at will!

Those northern armies are not on good terms with us, if you do it......"

The old man sighed, and a gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes:

"I'm a barbarian."

"Huh?"

"You scholars are looking ahead, I'm just a barbarian martial artist, I only know that someone robbed my fellow villagers, I can't ignore it." The old man held the knife in his hand, and looked Cai Mao up and down with disdain, "Look at your timid appearance like a mouse, it's really embarrassing for us Jingzhou people." ”

Cai Mao's heart seemed to be pinched hard by a big hand.

The knife-like cold wind blew on his face, making Cai Mao's nose slightly sour, and the pain on his face became more and more recognizable.

"Hansheng!"

"What else do you want to do!"

"I'm ......" The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he suddenly remembered the years when he was a teenager and fought with this tall and muscular brother as a sword ranger, happy and revenge.

Gradually, a cold glint slowly lit up in his eyes.

"You...... If you have the ability to kill, kill them all. With me here, no one dares to do anything to you. ”

The old man laughed, and the sound was like a tiger down the mountain, which shocked everyone around him subconsciously covered their ears and looked at the white-haired old man in horror.

"Okay, then...... Kill them all! ”
