Xiangyang.

Jian Yong went back and told Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang about Huang Zu's ending.

Hearing this, they fell silent.

It was Chen Zhou who made a stumbling block, and Liu Bei felt that Chen Zhou was his nemesis.

When he was in Xu Du, he was cheated by Chen Zhou, and now he finally found an ally, but the process of the alliance was also destroyed by Chen Zhou.

If he knew that the affairs of Pang Tong and Xu Shu were all related to Chen Zhou, he would vomit blood directly.

"Did Sun Quan say how the alliance is?"

Liu Bei asked worriedly.

Huang Zu couldn't die, and he was worried that the alliance would not be able to be formed.

However, a living Huang Zu, Liu Bei is not worried about anything, even if he is saved by Cao Cao, it will not have much impact on them.

Jian Yong said: "He asked Zhou Gongjin to tell me that the alliance will continue and will not change." ”

Just be able to continue, Liu Bei can rest assured.

"This Chen Duzhi is indeed very powerful!"

Zhuge Liang said: "He is outside the bureau, and he can know everything in our bureau well, and judge everything in place, so as to save Huang Zu." The reason why he saved Huang Zu must be because the Cao army lacked generals who could lead the water war, as if he accepted Cai Mao's refuge. ”

Liu Bei listened, thought for a while, and asked, "Kong Ming, does this have a big impact on us?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "It can be big or small, it depends on when Cao Jun will go south, if he goes south now, the impact may not be very big." But after a long time, when Cao Jun's naval army developed, Huang Zu's role was definitely great. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei finally felt threatened.

Jian Yong said: "In this case, why don't we strike first, join forces with the Sun family, and fight Yingchuan first?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I can't fight, Cao Cao will fight in the south and he will fight in the water, this is not what Cao Cao is good at." When we go north, it must be land warfare, which is not what the southern naval army is good at. Therefore, Cao Cao is developing, and we are also developing, depending on who develops faster. ”

Their current situation is that they can only hold on, wait for their work, and then develop their strength, and wait for the enemy to come, and it is not suitable for them to take the initiative to attack.

Cao Cao can take the initiative, but his strength is not strong enough now, and he needs to wait.

In this way, a very delicate balance was reached.

"I hope Liangzhou can succeed."

Liu Bei said worriedly: "There has been no news from the public station for a long time, and I don't know what the specific situation is." ”

Zhuge Liang said with confidence: "The public station is sometimes a little anxious, but it is still easy for him to stabilize and lobby Han Sui, and there will be no accidents." ”

Despite this, there has been no news from Chen Gong for so long, and there is still a certain amount of worry.

"Big brother!"

Zhang Fei walked in from outside and said anxiously: "Outside...... Something happened out there again. ”

Liu Bei was shocked and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Fei said: "People outside are spreading that the eldest brother deliberately betrayed Huang Zu in order to curry favor with Sun Quan, and the whole Xiangyang knows about it, many people are scolding the eldest brother for being unkind and unjust, and some people are beginning to suspect the eldest brother." ”

"What?"

Liu Bei almost spurted a mouthful of blood, his body shook for a while, if it wasn't for Jian Yong to hold him, he would have been unstable.

Not long ago, Renyi was damaged once, and a few days later, he was damaged again, which cost his life.

After coming out and mixing for so many years, Liu Bei has relied on benevolence and righteousness, if there is no benevolence and righteousness, it may not be able to mix.

"Big brother!"

Zhang Fei said: "Isn't it benevolence and righteousness, if it's gone, it's gone!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Benevolence and righteousness are still very important to the lord, that Chen Duzhi has done it ruthlessly enough!" He deliberately destroyed the most important and most needed things for the lord at present, and he was smeared several times before, but I am afraid that he also did it. ”

Liu Bei asked, "Kong Ming, what should I do?" ”

Zhuge Liang said helplessly: "To completely erase this rumor, it is basically impossible, the only thing that can be done is to create another particularly serious thing, cover the unkindness and injustice of the lord, and shift the attention, I will arrange this matter, the lord does not have to worry." ”

"Okay!"

Liu Bei's depressed mood has improved a lot, and Zhuge Liang has a way.

We must try our best to rescue benevolence and righteousness.

——

Chen Zhou returned to Wancheng and stayed in the Lu family for several days.

Accompanying Er Qiao, he is happy every day, and his small life is still very beautiful, the only problem is that his waist is almost not enough.

Fortunately, Chen Zhou is young and strong and can still support it.

During this time, Huang Zu's family in Jiangxia was brought back by Cao Gu and them.

According to Cao Gu's description, Liu Bei really wanted to kill people and kill people, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, fortunately they came in time and escaped with people, at this time on the way to Xudu, as for Huang Zu, he had already arrived in Xudu, and should have been received by Cao Cao.

For those who can lead the naval army, Cao Cao must be courteous.

After recuperating from his injuries, Huang Zu will come to Lujiang and be with Cai Mao.

Chen Zhou is too lazy to take care of these things, there is a special person in charge, what he needs to do is probably lie down at Qiao's house.

"Husband, you don't do anything, the lord knows, he won't be angry, right?"

At night, Qiao Ying asked with concern.

Chen Zhou shook his head and smiled: "It's best if the lord is angry, take back all my duties, and let me do nothing every day." ”

Qiao Shuang smiled when she heard this: "The husband wants to be beautiful, your ability is so good, the lord will definitely not do nothing for you." ”

Qiao Ying nodded in agreement.

Chen Zhou said: "No matter what, your stomach doesn't seem to be moving yet, why don't we work harder tonight?" ”

When Qiao Shuang heard this, her eyes lit up, and she rushed directly towards Chen Zhou.

Qiao Ying was still a little reserved, but she was soon dragged in by Qiao Shuang, and they were merry together.

By the time everything had calmed down, it was already late at night.

Chen Zhou and Er Qiao were a little tired and slept soundly, and Lao Dian had already gone back to rest.

In the city, they thought, there would be no danger.

However, under the darkness of the night, there were several figures who quietly walked into the Qiao family's compound and groped their way into the small courtyard where Chen Zhou lived.

They are athletic, agile and have no pressure to climb up and down.

"The guards around him aren't very good."

Among them, the leader is Sun Shangxiang.

The purpose of coming here is very simple, that is, to capture Chen Zhou, as a hostage, exchange Huang Zu, and avenge his father.

Sun Jian's revenge cannot but be avenged.

Since Sun Quan has no choice, then she can come by herself.

Sun Shangxiang sneaked in personally, and Sun Yi answered outside.

Naturally, it was impossible to go out of the city at night, but they were in the city and had everything ready.

Tomorrow morning, the city gate will be opened, and before the people of the Qiao family find that Chen Zhou is gone, they will transport it out of the city as quickly as possible, and then throw it on the boat and cross the river to the south.

Then, the rest of the matter, they are in charge.

"Do it!"

Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang admired his plan.

Outside the small courtyard, there were five guards to help Chen Zhou stand guard and keep vigil.

The people led by Sun Shangxiang sneaked into the night, jumped down from the roof, quickly killed the people standing guard, and then dragged them to the flower garden to hide, and walked into the small courtyard where Chen Zhou lived.
