Chapter 465: Who Wants to Put Me to Death?
A year after Mrs. Wu's mourning period had passed, Sun Quan immediately accepted the next step trainer as his wife, and Buqi was promoted from the shogunate master to Dong Cao Peng.
Sun Quan took the opportunity of Zhou Yu's request for grain to be promoted to the position of Luling County Governor again, and stretched out his hand to the jurisdiction of Sun Ben's brothers.
Sun Ben experienced the defeat of Nanchang and suffered a great injury, Sun Quan believed that Zhou Yu led his troops to Luling to ask Sun Ben for military rations like forcing the palace himself, and the other party must have no way to refuse.
Although Buqi has become a relative, after all, he is young and junior at this time, and Sun Ben has never even seen him, so he has to find an acquaintance to lead the way.
Sending his cronies Zhou Shan to accompany him to escort him also hinted that Sun Quan intended to take back control of Luling in order to test Sun Ben's reaction.
Zhou Yu was very pleased to see that Sun Quan was so 'well-behaved', and when he left Wu County, he ordered the fleet to go straight to Nanchang, and at the same time sent a fast boat to rush to Chaisang first, and ordered Jiang Qin to lead 10,000 sailors to Nanchang to converge.
No matter what Sun Ben thinks, whether he will find an excuse to refuse, Zhou Yu feels irrelevant.
Since becoming the governor of Dadu, Zhou Yu knows that if there are soldiers, he has the right to speak, and he believes that Sun Ben must be knowledgeable and interesting.
Luling has been separated from Yuzhang for more than three years, and because he does not pay taxes on money and grain, he has saved tens of thousands of surplus grains.
Sun Ben was preparing to use these accumulations to rebuild the prosperity of Nanchang City in the past, and he had just recruited thousands of people from Luling, and when he was going to show his strength, Jiang Qin, Zhou Yu, and Bu Qi arrived one after another.
Zhou Yu took the soldiers and horses to get grain and grass, and Zhou Shan carried Sun Quan's warrant and sent Buqi to coordinate and cooperate
This battle is clearly bound to win, Sun Ben can't help but can't refuse, he not only sent people to Luling with Bu Qi to hand over, but also set up a banquet in Nanchang to pick up the wind and wash the dust for a few people.
At the same time as Bu Qi set off for Luling, Zhou Yu also sent Jiang Qin to lead the fleet with him, and he was ready to load grain on the ship as soon as possible and rush to the Jiangxia battlefield as soon as possible.
In late June, Zhou Yu stayed in Nanchang for the third day.
Jiang Qin sent people from Luling to send news that the total amount of grain stored in the official warehouses in Luling was 60,000 Hu, and at present, Buqi had sent people to organize the loading of ships, and after the first batch of grain ships departed, he would requisition civilian ships to transport military rations in the local area.
Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately decided to return to Chaisang to point troops, preparing to send troops in ten days.
Although Sun Ben's heart is dripping blood, he has no shortage of work on the surface.
After all, Zhou Yu has a heavy army in his hands at this time, and he and his family can be easily handled.
Sun Ben held a banquet for Zhou Yu in Nanchang to practice, and wished the soldiers Huang Zuqi a victory.
The year before last, 'encircling Wei to save Zhao' led to the destruction of Nanchang City, Zhou Yu felt guilty in the face of Sun Ben's humility, he was full of pride and fierceness at the feast, and said that he would try his best to take off Huang Zu's head and breathe a good sigh of relief for Sun Ben.
Meritorious service is imminent, Zhou Yu is heroic, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
Zhou Yu was in a happy mood that day, and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, but he had already fallen on the way back to the boat.
The fleet set out from Nanchang in the evening, intending to rush to Chaisang overnight.
Zhou Yu was originally a little drunk, but when he boarded the boat, he was blown by the wind on the Ganshui River, his body trembled, and his hairs stood up.
When he returned to the cabin, he was half drunk, and Zhou Yu popped out of the window only to see pitch black, and he heard the night insects on both sides of the strait crying in his ears.
The bugs follow a rhythm, sometimes pausing and singing, sometimes long and sometimes short.
Zhou Yu is proficient in music and rhythm, and when he saw this situation, he was suddenly interested, and he had plans to teach the 'musicians' on both sides of the strait.
He found a guqin in the cabin, first pressed it and wiped it like a baby, and then unhurriedly plucked the strings and tuned it.
After a long while, Zhou Yu began to play the piano.
The tactful and melodious sound of the piano is like Zhou Yu speaking domineeringly in front of the Jiangdong ministers, and the insects on both sides of the strait are like Zhang Zhao, Yu Chuan and others, who are speechless when they encounter good news.
However, Zhou Yu's dedication to music is like his military obsession, and the song was originally played quite beautifully, but due to a small flaw in a few notes in the middle, it was interrupted and replayed.
After repeating it a few times, Zhou Yu slapped his palm on the table.
What's wrong with me today? Why do you keep playing the wrong sound?
It must be because of drunkenness.
"Someone."
"Governor, what do you command?"
"Cook me a bowl of hot soup, and Pontus will sober up."
"Yui."
Huo Chun, the waiter at the door, had been waiting, and when he heard the order, he immediately trotted to run errands, and his feet creaked on the wooden board.
After a while, Zhou Yu's body dried up after drinking the hot soup, and his originally trance-like mind sobered up.
Zhou Yu tried to stroke the qin again, only to see that he plucked the strings with ten fingers like electricity, and the notes of the guqin jumped out of the flashing fireflies, which had an indescribable beauty.
The warship carried the notes through the waves, one song after another shuttling through the night, and the sound of the piano could always drown out the sound of insects everywhere it went.
About an hour after leaving Nanchang, Zhou Yu was playing to the dense treble part.
Suddenly, there was a murmur, and two strings of the guqin were broken at the same time, and the sound of the piano that was playing all the way came to an abrupt end.
Zhou Yu covered his forehead with his left hand, covered his abdomen with his right hand and curled up on the ground, his five organs were like being twisted by a knife, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his pores, and his whole body was soaked in a short time.
A heart-rending pain made Zhou Yu almost faint.
"Ahem."
Zhou Yu was about to get up with one hand, but suddenly coughed violently twice halfway, and spit out a mouthful of blood directly on the wooden board.
Abdominal pain, coughing up blood, blood is still jet black
Zhou Yu is in the prime of life and has always been healthy, but everything just now made him react.
I seem to have been poisoned.
Sun Ben poisoned the practice banquet? The timing doesn't seem to coincide, how can it take so long to attack?
Suddenly, Zhou Yu caught a glimpse of the soup bowl on the case, and a trace of terror lingered in his mind.
Is it the poison of the attendant Huo Chun? No, he is the nephew of his wife Bao, and he can be said to be his absolute confidant, how can he murder himself?
Zhou Yu reached out and grabbed the corner of the bowl to check, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in his abdomen again.
With a clang, the soup bowl was pulled to the ground.
The sound of cracking attracted Huo Chun, who was napping outside the door.
When I saw Zhou Yu sitting on the edge of the couch and bending down his head, one hand kept an extended posture, and the other hand covered his stomach.
Huo Chun asked in a panic, "Metropolitan Governor, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Hmm"
Zhou Yu endured the severe pain and straightened up, seeing Huo Chun's concerned expression, he replied weakly: "I drank too much today, and my drunkenness came up again, the soup I sent just now tasted good, is there more?" Fetch me another bowl. ”
"Oh yes, I'll get it right away."
Huo Chun was stunned at first, and then nodded hurriedly in response.
He was about to bend down to clean up the broken bowl, Zhou Yu hurriedly stretched out his foot to block the blood stains, and urged in a deep voice: "Come back and clean up, and get soup with me first." ”
"Yui."
Looking at Huo Chun's disappearing back, Zhou Yu couldn't see that he was a murderer at all, and although he was in pain and vomiting blood, he didn't die immediately, so he guessed that it was a chronic poison.
And there is a chance to poison himself for a long time, Zhou Yu is the only one by his side, Huo Chun is alone, and that kind of soup can be drunk no less than ten times.
Whether it is Huo Chun or not, you will know when you try it with soup.
Who will put me to death? I, Zhou Yu, must find out.
