The performance that had lasted for many days finally came to an end.

As the Dongwu warship went away, on the beach, some Mi family soldiers gently patted the Zhou family soldiers who were "mixed with blood" and "red".

"Wake up, wake up, why are you still asleep?"

"It's all up, people are far away, there is no need to play anymore... General Mi specially ordered, tonight, all of them will add chicken legs! ”

The words came out.

Those soldiers of the Zhou family, whose chests seemed to have been pierced by ten thousand arrows, and whose entire bodies had been hollowed out, really opened their eyes one after another.

Then, these soldiers of the Zhou family stood up with the help of the Mi family army, as if they had been acting for a few days, and both sides were already quite familiar, and they directly hooked their shoulders and carried them together, like brothers in the trenches.

"These days... Am I doing well? I've devised eighteen ways to present an arrow that falls to the ground, and that's not the end of it. Bite... Why did you call it a day? Stopped acting? ”

"Brother, what's your name, you've been acting well these days! When you get to Koto, I'll take you to the Red Pavilion... How about our real competition? See who can see red with a bayonet! ”

Not to mention, acting and acting, the friendship is really performing.

…

Above the Yangtze River, warships sailed downstream.

Zhou Xun and Sun Shao stood on the lookout, looking at the mouth of the wet beard that was getting farther and farther away from them, Sun Shao couldn't help but sigh, "The sunset is going to stain the bloody and slaughtered mouth red, and Brother Xun is so disregarding life and death, such acting skills... Don't say it's Sun Quan, even I have to believe it. ”

Because the envoy sent by Sun Quan was on other ships, and this was the lookout, which was the highest point of this warship, so Sun Shao had no fear and directly threw out the most sincere emotion.

It's just that...

"Hehe..."Zhou Xun smiled, he continued to use the blood bag to smear the blood stains on his armor more evenly and thickly, and said: "Really speaking of acting skills, in fact, there is still one thing missing..."

"What?"

Sun Shao just threw out a question, only to see an extra dagger in Zhou Xun's hand, he waved the dagger without warning, and slashed directly towards his arm.

This...

Under Sun Shao's dumbfounded expression, the dagger had already pierced into his arm, and then slowly slid forward.

"What are you doing?" Sun Shao was taken aback.

Zhou Xun didn't answer, and waited until the dagger left a long mark and blood began to gush outward, Zhou Xun took off the package and said, "After fighting for so long, I can't leave an inch of wounds on my body, right?" ”

Yes... Sun Shao didn't expect that the purpose of Zhou Xun's self-harm was actually for this.

"Hehe..."Zhou Xun was the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a faint smile, "Sun Quan has eyes here, if he didn't really see blood, how would he believe that I was forced to evacuate without retreating?" And how can you entrust me with the responsibility of border guarding? ”

Call...

Sun Shao was stunned by Zhou Xun's sacrifice, but soon, he understood.

This is not a sacrifice, this is his hatred for Sun Quan, his obsession with his father's hatred!

At this moment, the dagger was raised again, and the "brush" was again two blades, this time the shoulder and the forearm.

The blood flowed out, Sun Shao endured the unbearable in his heart, tore off his clothes and wrapped his wounds for him... Zhou Xun stretched out his hand to stop, "Let's not be busy bandaging first, let this blood flow out more... That's how it's more real—"

This...

Sun Shao gritted his teeth and watched the puddle of blood fall, he still couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't it hurt?" ”

In response to him, Zhou Xun's sonorous words were said: "As long as you can punish that Sun Quan, what is this pain?" ”

"Brother Shao... If you really want to say that it hurts, didn't you and my father hurt when they were backstabbed in the back by Sun Quan's dog thief? ”

This sentence directly made Sun Shao stunned in place.

Roll the Yangtze River to the east.

Looking down from the sky, the warship is moving as always, but who knows that the big ship carrying Soochow is about to go to a strange road-

…

…

Jian Ye City, Dongwu Palace.

It's just a few days later, Sun Quan, the thirty-year-old lord of Eastern Wu, seems to be ten years old.

The hair that was originally thick on the aconitum is now clearly visible with traces of whiteness.

The purple beard also seemed to be disorganized.

In front of him lay two letters.

Naturally, the news of the fall of Lujiang and Misu has already come, but... Each word of these two war reports reveals a heart-piercing fact, that is, the general entrusted by Sun Quan finally betrayed him and chose to kneel and live!

On the contrary, it was after Zhou Yu, who was stabbed in the back by his Sun Quan, Zhou Xun.

——Stick to the wet beard and fight to the death...

A sense of déjà vu of a loyal and righteous man who is going to die standing up!

Satirize...

These two war reports are simply a great irony for Sun Quan.

For a moment, Sun Quanquan felt that he was blind.

To know... His choices over the years... While being completely denied by the war in the past few months, his vision was also completely denied.

"More than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Lujiang surrendered to the city, and the Mi family soldiers were bloodless, but they were only a few thousand Zhou family troops, but they fought to the death... Ziming, Lone doesn't want to admit it, but Lone has really done something wrong over the years... For the first time, Lone also experienced the hard work of the eldest brother, and realized why the eldest brother used domineering to occupy Jiangdong..."

Speaking of this, Sun Quan groaned slightly, then shook his head and opened his mouth, "Big brother is right, except for ourselves, except for those brothers brought from Huainan, no one can be trusted!" ”

In the palace of Nuoda, there are only two people, Lu Meng and Sun Quan.

Since Sun Quan was imprisoned in the clan, he dispatched a team of soldiers and forcibly allocated the family's farmland, which boosted the morale of Jiangdong, but a new problem also appeared...

Now... There are too few reliable people around Sun Quan.

Those who can trust, can command troops, can negotiate, look at it... Only Lu Meng was left.

"Meng didn't expect it... The one who persevered to the end was Zhou Xun... It's not Jiang Qin and He Qi..."Lu Meng sighed "sigh", "I heard that General Zhou Xun has countless wounds on his body, but he has fought to the death and has not retreated, trying to recapture the wet beard... If it weren't for the disparity in strength and the huge gap in morale, perhaps... Lord, according to the minister's opinion, at this time of crisis, Soochow needs to support a hero in the minds of the soldiers, to inspire people with his deeds, General Zhou Xun is such a heroic benchmark figure! ”

Lu Meng also sighed.

Who would have thought, at this moment.

Sun Quan's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he thought of something, "When He Qi and Jiang Qin were stationed in Lujiang, they also won battles and resisted Guan Yu's attack, but who would have thought that they would repair the plank road in the open and secretly move all their clansmen away..."

"What does the lord mean..."

"Lone has already suffered a loss, Lone doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past..."Sun Quan's eyes became more and more gloomy, "Lone at least wants to know, is his family still there?" If he is still here, then Lone can make him a great hero of my Eastern Wu-"

Family?

Lu Meng already knew Sun Quan's thoughts, so... Zhou Xun's family can only be Xiao Qiao!

…

…

One big Qiao and two small Qiao, three inches of golden lotus and four inches of waist-

I bought five, six, or seven packs of powder, and I was dressed up eighty or ninety very delicate-

This is the first time Sun Quan has visited the Zhou family's mansion after Zhou Yu's death.

When I first entered it, I smelled the fragrance of the courtyard, which not only drove away mosquitoes, but also refreshed my mind.

You can also pick fresh young leaves and soak them in tea, or chew them directly, which is comfortable...

It's a godsend for autumn.

Because he knew in advance that Sun Quan was coming, Xiao Qiao had already prepared tea, Sun Quan deliberately folded a piece of mint and put it in the water, and took a sip, and a strong peppermint oil was so spicy that Sun Quan opened his mouth and was about to spit it out.

Xiao Qiao said softly: "Wu Hou, hold back..."

Sure enough, when Sun Quan closed his mouth again and chewed a few times, the pungency of the mint leaves entered the bone marrow through the saliva, and the coolness spread all over the body, and there was a sweet taste in his mouth.

Sun Quan was amazed...

Xiao Qiao explained: "It also has a name called 'Silver Pill Grass', which means wonderful elixir... When the mint leaves are first eaten, they are like the sourness encountered in life, but when the saliva is transformed and absorbs its juice, the feeling will change... If you open your mouth and spit it out, you won't be able to enjoy the strange taste..."

Xiao Qiao seemed to explain patiently, and at the end of the conversation, he didn't forget to add a sentence, "The favorite thing of General Bo Fu and Zhou Lang in the past is this mint leaf..."

Because of the names of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu mentioned, Sun Quan was slightly stunned and panicked, but because of the refreshing mint leaves, he reacted very quickly, and he regained the prestige of the lord of Eastern Wu in an instant.

"I haven't been here for a long time, I haven't thought... Sun Quan said with emotion: "But, the only thing that remains unchanged is the loyalty of the Zhou family, there was Zhou Gongjin in the past, and there is Zhou Xun today... The Zhou family's family style continues, loyal to the liver and courage... Lonely to be rewarded! ”

"Wu Hou doesn't have to be rewarded..."Xiao Qiao was generous and talked eloquently, "The Zhou family has received a lot of favors, Zhou Lang has served two lords of Eastern Wu, from the establishment of Eastern Wu to the three-point world, Xun'er is just following in the footsteps of Zhou Lang, in fact... The concubine always had a feeling that Zhou Lang's protection of Jiangdong never left for a moment..."

Call...

Xiao Qiao's words made Sun Quan and the accompanying civil and military cadres deeply encouraged.

Sun Quan solemnly bowed his hand to Xiao Qiao, "In short, Lone is going to thank the lintel of the house this week, if Mrs. Qiao has a shortage, send someone to inform Yu Gu at any time, and Lone will go back first——"

"The concubine sent Wu Hou..."

"You don't have to—"

Sun Quan left a sentence and had already led a group of people out of the gate of this Zhou Mansion slowly.

As soon as Fang stepped out of the gate of this Zhou Mansion, Sun Quan asked Lu Meng urgently, "How?" But I went to find out, are there any people in the Zhou family? ”

"Nope!" Lu Meng replied truthfully: "Just now, every pavilion has sent someone to secretly investigate, and no one has migrated up and down the Zhou Mansion..."

Lu Meng's words made Sun Quan let down all his guards... It was from this moment that his trust in the lintel of the Zhou family became extremely firm, and he left five words: "Reward Mrs. Qiao——"

After that, we have to board the carriage...

Lu Meng was stunned, and hurriedly reminded: "Lord, the top priority is to send someone to guard the Zhou family..."

This is indispensable for the heart of defense;

It's also a precaution...

"Hehe..."This time, Sun Quan shook his head as if subconsciously, "No! If Zhou Xun wanted to run, then he would have been the same as Jiang Qin and He Qi... Why run now? Wouldn't you just think of the migrants now? Zhou Xun is a loyal person, and the Zhou family is the lintel of loyalty..."

Sun Quan's tone was extremely determined, but at the end of the words, his face was a little depressed, "It's the Zhou family that makes Gu Lang full of guilt, maybe Zhou Lang's two-point strategy in the past, taking Yizhou in the west, he is really selfless!" There is no intention of blocking the mountain gate and dominating Bashu! If... He has never been selfish, and he should listen to him..."

Speaking of this, Sun Quan's last sentence contained a sigh, "Anyway, the world is impermanent, and Lone can only choose to look forward-"

While getting into the carriage, Sun Quan asked Lu Meng, "When will General Zhou Xun return?" ”

"Tomorrow morning..."

"Order the three armies, led by Gu himself, and all the civil and military forces and officials of Eastern Wu will go out of the city to meet General Zhou Xun——"

…

…

Attacking Jiangdong from the Lujiang River, if it is by land and water, it can only be attacked from two ports.

One is Wuhu Port, which is close to Jianye City, and the other is Hulin Port, which is hundreds of miles away from Jianye.

Because Hulin Port is extremely far away from the city, the supply is inconvenient, and the surrounding forest and wetlands make it difficult to march... And the waterway is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, it can be determined that if Jiangdong is attacked, the first choice must be Wuhu Port.

But today... The port of Wuhu is very lively, with flags waving, crowds of people, and countless distinct armor waiting for them.

This kind of scene of armor is not because of the arrival of Jingzhou's fleet, but because of the return of one person, to be precise, triumphant-

That's right, under the hype of Sun Quan and Dongwu, Jiang Qin and He Qi have become the target of public criticism, but Zhou Xun, the son of Zhou Lang in the past, has undoubtedly become the only hero of Jiangdong in this era.

——His battle record, with 3,000 Zhou family troops and more than 30,000 Mi family army and Guan family army to compete for the beard;

- Fell six times, recaptured six counterattacks, and finally killed ten times the enemy army with a limited number of troops, and retreated!

It's a big win!

What a victory!

And he is undoubtedly the god of war under the blood-colored sun, a pillar of the Optimus of the Wet Whiskers, and his heroism is full of spirit... He is a hero recognized by everyone in Jiangdong -

Of course, these may not be true, but at this time, Sun Quan and Dongwu need a series of falsehoods to cover up the truth, to redeem this precarious decline, to boost the morale of all Jiangdong soldiers and civilians, only in this way... in order to fight to the death in the upcoming battle!

Today, Sun Quan wants to set up a typical...

Undoubtedly, Zhou Xun is a typical example.

One after another, warships docked at Wuhu Port, and Zhou Xun did not expect that he would be greeted by the noise of gongs and drums, the surging crowds of people, and the deafening cheers.

This wave of sound stunned Zhou Xun and the "remnant" Zhou family army, and even Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang, who did not come out of the deck, were surprised.

What surprised them was that this was not a great victory!

How can it really be like a triumphant return!

But soon, Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang realized something.

The two exchanged a look, and Sun Shao sighed with emotion, "It is worthy of Sun Quan, as always, the impression is that he used Zhou Xun to change people's hearts——"

Tai Shixiang lowered his mouth and said lightly, "However, in this case, it seems to be of great benefit to our plan!" ”

"That's right!" The corners of Sun Shao's mouth gradually opened, revealing a long-lost smile!

Over there...

The cheers, gongs and drums continued...

Zhou Xun walked to Sun Quan's side with a praising gaze, he was wearing a cloak, but the armor was still the one with mottled blood stains on the battlefield.

In fact... There was no change of clothes in the ship.

All the armor of the Zhou family army has never been replaced, and they all look so red, and even the smell of blood in the air seems to be able to tell the hardships and horrors of this battle!

"My lord... The last general..."

Zhou Xun wanted to say that the last general would lose his wet beard, but who would have thought that Sun Quan would speak first, he pointed to the red armor on Zhou Xun's body.

"Is this my general of Soochow? This is what Jiangdong Erlang's blood spills on the battlefield, you all take a look! Look where... Is there a place on General Zhou's body that is not stained with this blood? Where is there a place on this body that doesn't make us feel distressed? But if it weren't for that, how could he defeat ten times the enemy with his own strength, General Zhou is worthy of being the son of Zhou Lang, and he is full of Zhou Lang's wind up and down, he is the hero of Eastern Wu! ”

With Sun Quan's inspiring words that almost cried.

Zhou Xun also realized Sun Quan's purpose, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "Lord, Xun and his father are both Wu Chen, and the Zhou family is a loyal martyr, if you can't shed blood for Jiangdong?" What does it mean to live in this world? ”

"Okay, good, good..." Sun Quan hurriedly went to help Zhou Xun, but when he touched Zhou Xun's arm, Zhou Xun's hand shrank suddenly, and Sun Quan realized something.

"Take it off, let Lone see." Sun Quan spoke in a commanding tone.

"This..."Zhou Xun made a gesture of embarrassment.

"Help General Zhou take off his clothes..."With Sun Quan's voice, several generals around him stepped forward.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, when Zhou Xun's armor was removed, there were especially drops of blood dripping from the armor, and this was not terrible.

Because what's even more terrifying is... Zhou Xun's body... It can be said that he can be described by the words "shocking", he is covered in at least five wounds, each of which is red with bandages, especially on his arm... Even if it was wrapped in bandages, it was still bloodstained, which was shocking.

"My lord... The last general..."Zhou Xun wanted to speak again.

But once again, he was suppressed by Sun Quan first, "Is this the injury you suffered for Dongwu?" ”

"It's just that the end will be incompetent..."

"You're not incompetent! It's Jiang Qin and He Qi who are incompetent, it's Gan Ning and Ling Tong who are incompetent! Sun Quan roared loudly, "It's also lonely, clumsy, incompetent... In the whole Jiangdong, you are the only one who is the husband... A true hero! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Quan turned around and solemnly ordered, "Pass the orphan order, from now on, General Zhou Xun will be the governor of my Eastern Wu..."

"The lord is wise-" Lu Meng reacted the fastest, and he was the first to echo.

After that, a group of officials also chimed in, "The lord is wise..."

"Haha!" Listening to everyone's words, Sun Quan turned around again, "The lonely Metropolitan Governor... Don't you get up yet? The Zhou family is a loyal and martyr governor, looking at the world, what glory is this? ”

Who would have thought that Sun Quan's words, Sun Quan's appointment... Still couldn't get Zhou Xun up.

Zhou Xun solemnly arched his hand, "The lord is so loving, the last general will be more and more ashamed of himself, and the last general... The last general was outnumbered and failed to hold the wet beard, so I plead... I implore Marquis Wu to allow his ministers to garrison this Wuhu port... The burden of the entire river defense was handed over to the last general, who had already figured out the path of the Jingzhou army, this time... Follow and never let people step into Soochow half a step! ”

This...

Sun Quan groaned slightly, and then smiled, he looked at Zhou Xun in front of him with satisfaction, and he deliberately avoided Zhou Xun's hands to help him up.

Sun Quan's tone was meticulous, "You are my general of soldiers and horses in Eastern Wu, where are you personally guarding?" Why do you need to ask Lonely? Believing in you alone is like trusting your father eight years ago! ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Xun had already stood up, Sun Quan gently patted him on the shoulder to show his heartfelt trust, and then turned around...

He walked in the direction of the carriage.

But at this time.

only heard a "snap", Sun Quan paused, and when he turned his head, he noticed that Zhou Xun actually knelt down again.

This is the third time Zhou Xun has knelt today...

The difference is that the first two times were on one knee, this time on both knees.

The man has gold under his knees, and he kneels on his knees... This kind of gift is not something that can be done casually.

"Governor Zhou, you are..."

Without waiting for Sun Quan to finish speaking, Zhou Xun's voice was extremely firm, "Zhou Xun has no father, the eldest son of the lord is trapped in Jingzhou, which is about the same as having no children.

This...

In front of everyone's eyes, the great hero Zhou Xun openly worshipped Sun Quan as his father-in-law, which made Sun Quan unexpected...

This is a question that has never been thought of, but the atmosphere has been set here, and for Sun Quan, now is the autumn of employment...

Immediately, "Hahahahahaha..." Sun Quan pretended to laugh, he was noncommittal, but continued to walk in the direction of the carriage, laughing wantonly as he walked, and happily opened his mouth: "There is a heroic son who is lonely, don't let my father down!" ”

"Righteousness... Father-"
