Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Lu Meng blushed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Ziqi can't talk nonsense, whether it's a military commander or a general, as long as he can serve the Lord."

Wei Jing nodded lightly, "I'll go to Shu Jianye right away and report the matter of Wu Ju to my lord."

In April of the 16th year of Jian'an, Lu Meng had been going south to Jiaozhou for more than two months. Sun Quan was waiting anxiously in Jianye.

On this day Zhou Shan strode into the hall, holding Wei Jing's letter in his hand.

After Sun Quan read the letter, he was overjoyed: "Zi Ming really lived up to my expectations, and he did not waste so many years of careful cultivation. He did not procrastinate in trapping and killing Wu Ju. Now Cangwu and Nanhai belong to Jiangdong. It is estimated that Shi Xie and Lai Gong will soon There are news reports, and finally I can feel proud in front of Zhang Zibu, Gu Yuantan and others."

"Hurry up and send the order to make Lu Ziming the prefect of Cangwu." Sun Quan instructed Zhou Shan with a smile.

"Wei." Zhou Shan said without leaving.

Seeing that Zhou Shan hadn't moved, Sun Quan frowned and asked, "What else do you need?"

"My lord, there is news from Jingzhou that Liu Xuande has led troops into Xichuan..." Zhou Shan bowed his head and reported.

Originally, Sun Quan was in a mood like a clear sky, but when he heard the news, it was like dark clouds. Jiangdong did not enjoy the victory of the Battle of Chibi, and it was Lu Su and Zhou Yu who planned for Jiangdong to take Xichuan. How many days did Liu Bei get Jingzhou?Already dare to fetch Xichuan?

"How many troops did Liu Xuande bring?" Sun Quan asked with a frown.

"It is said that [-] new recruits were recruited from Jingnan..." Zhou Shan replied.

After hearing this, Sun Quan closed his eyes and meditated. He used Sun Shangxiang to recruit his son-in-law and Liu Bei entered Wu.

Both Zhou Yu and Lu Fan suggested that Liu Bei should be placed under house arrest in Wu. Cao Cao did not do such a detrimental thing, and he, Sun Quan, was so clever that he would not do such a stupid thing.

During his stay in Wu, Sun Quan had deliberately said that Zhou Yu would take Xichuan. At that time, Liu Bei told him to guard against Zhou Yu not to rely on his troops, but this guy went to take it by himself in a blink of an eye. It is really hateful to think about it.

Now Liu Bei took advantage of the geographical advantages to take Yizhou, and he also sent Lu Meng to take Jiaozhou. On the premise of not destroying the Sun-Liu alliance, Sun Quan planned to use some tricks.

A few months ago, Sun Shangxiang was pregnant, and Sun Quan was expecting to give birth to a son, so that he could use this son to control Jingzhou at that time, but it turned out that Zhang Zhongjing Momai was a baby girl.

Sun Quan: My little sister is not up to her stomach...

After thinking for a while, Sun Quan waved his hand to signal Zhou Shan to come forward, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhou Shan got Sun Quan's order, and then bowed out of the hall.

A few days later, Zhou Shan sailed up the Yangtze River to Jiangling in a light boat. The boat was full of local products brought by Jiangdong, and the baby money that Sun Quan had prepared for Sun Shangxiang.

He drove the carriage to the gate of Jiangling city, and was let in after notifying the city gate officer of his identity. Zhou Shan found that Jiangling's city defenses were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and he didn't know who stayed behind after Liu Bei entered Sichuan.

Zhou Shan and the accompanying servants drove several carriages to the other courtyard. Brothers Wu Zuo and Wu You came out to greet them and helped them unload the goods.

"Your teeth..." Zhou Shan pointed to Wu You and asked suspiciously.

When the two brothers provoked Gan Qian in front of Gan Qian's door, Wu Zuo, whose hand was interrupted by the trapping soldiers, recovered as before, but Wu You's tooth that was knocked out could no longer be put back, and now he can't speak clearly.

When Wu You was about to reply, Wu Zuo helped to cover up: "I drank too much last year, so I fell like this in a daze..."

Zhou Shan knew the two brothers very well, because they were members of the Wu family, and when they were in Jiangdong, they were not easy to save fuel, so they were "assigned" to Jingzhou by Sun Quan.

Chapter 199 Sun Shangxiang: Don't talk nonsense

When Zhou Shan saw Wu Zuo and Wu You this time, the arrogance in their bones disappeared.

"How long will Guard Zhou stay in Jingzhou this time?" Wu Zuo asked curiously.

"It's just to bring some things to the lady, and I should leave in a few days." Zhou Shan replied.

Wu Zuo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Your Brother and I have been in Jingzhou for several years, and we miss our relatives in Wuzhong. Can you take us with you when you leave?"

"This...you are here with Miss, how dare I bring you back without permission? It's not right..." Zhou Shan shook his head hastily.

Wu Zuo took out an ingot of gold from his bosom, and secretly stuffed it into Zhou Shan's hand, "The guard Zhou is the lord's close minister, if you speak nicely in front of the young lady, my brother and I will be able to go back?"

Zhou Shan thought about it for a second, the matter Sun Quan had told him needed manpower, although the two brothers Wu Zuo and Wu You were a bit domineering, they had some martial arts skills, and immediately put the ingot of gold into his bosom.

"I'll mention it to Miss. I don't know if it will be successful or not..." Zhou Shan nodded.

Wu Zuo was overjoyed and complimented: "Your words will definitely work."

After unloading the goods, Wu Zuo and Wu You led Zhou Shan to the front hall. In the room, there was a brazier in winter and a maid playing fans in summer. At this time, Sun Shangxiang was obviously inconvenient to practice martial arts and half lying on the seat.

After Zhou Shan arrived, the maid helped Sun Shangxiang to sit upright. She rubbed her belly and sighed: "Guard Zhou didn't come here for a while."

"It's been a long time since I saw Miss's complexion is ruddy, but her spirit seems to be..." Zhou Shan raised his hands and asked doubtfully.

Sun Shangxiang smiled slightly, "I've been particularly lethargic recently, but Mr. Zhongjing said it's normal..."

"Are you sure it's a daughter?" Zhou Shan asked doubtfully.

"Mr. Zhong Jing's diagnosis is very accurate." When Sun Shangxiang heard that Gan Qian was pregnant with Adou, Zhang Ji knew it was his son through his pulse diagnosis.

"That's only next time..." Zhou Shan comforted.

"Well, Madam Gan is also the daughter of Mrs. Liu Wan, who gave birth to her second child." Sun Shangxiang nodded.

The two exchanged a few words, and Zhou Shan suddenly asked: "I saw that the outside of Jiangling City was loose and the inside was tight. I don't know who is the general who stayed here after Duke Xuande led his troops into Sichuan?"

"Zhao Zilong, the Sima who stayed in the camp, he has some skills." Sun Shangxiang said in her heart that on the first day she entered Jiangling, it was Zhao Yun who 'guarded' the other courtyard in secret, and many of her subordinates had to deal with this person.

When Zhou Shan heard that it was Zhao Yun, his heart beat immediately. He pondered for a while before he said, "To tell you the truth, besides I came to Jiangling to deliver things this time, my lord also asked me to pick you up and live in Jiangdong for a while."

"Going back to Jiangdong now? How can we go back now? Mr. Zhongjing told me to do as little activity as possible. I don't even take a walk in the courtyard now. How can I travel far by boat?" Sun Shangxiang looked suspicious.

Zhou Shan smiled and said, "Since the lord moved to Jianye, he has often missed his relatives. Recently, he has been thinking about the young lady. If the young lady can't go back to Jianye now, why don't you take the lord's nephew back to live?"

"Nephew? Where did the nephew come from?" Sun Shangxiang was puzzled.

"Miss is the wife of Duke Xuande. Isn't his son your son? He is also the master's nephew." Zhou Shan said with a smile on his face.

Sun Shangxiang was used to fighting for power since she was a child, and she had heard about those insidious political methods. Zhou Shan said for a long time that he originally intended to fight against the enemy.

She quickly waved her hand and said: "Adou's biological mother is still here, and Xuande has made her the eldest son, how can she easily leave Jingzhou and go to Jiangdong? Zhou Shiwei should tell brother back, don't make such plans."

Zhou Shan's complexion changed, "Miss is the lord's own sister, and she should be more concerned about Jiangdong's interests. Jiangdong paid a lot in the Battle of Chibi, but almost got nothing in return. Not only did Liu Xuande take Jingzhou with ease, but now he has also led troops into Sichuan to take Yizhou , the lord's heart is hard to calm down."

"Jiangshan is right there, brother can take it upright, even if Jiangdong wants to take Xichuan first, I will persuade Xuande to make way, but he has no intention of taking Xichuan now, but Xuande is not allowed to take it?" Sun Shangxiang sneered.

Zhou Shan quickly explained: "The siege strategy is based on the right time, place and people. My lord, he is a talented man, and he has his own plans. He just wants to exchange a few counties with A Dou. Miss, remember that you are from the Sun family."

"You don't need to be reminded by Guard Zhou. I know my background better than anyone else. Don't say that I can't help now. If I really help my brother, how will I gain a foothold in Jingzhou in the future? What about the child in my womb?"

"Miss has Jiang Dong's backing, and Mr. Xuande will not despise you."

Sun Shangxiang didn't want to say any more, she leaned back: "I really can't do anything."

"Miss is the mistress of Jingzhou. Duke Xuande is not in Jingzhou now. Who dares to control you? Please think about the brother-sister relationship, miss. Don't refuse. The lord has not made great achievements since he succeeded to the throne. The Jiangdong officials are obedient on the surface, but I don’t know what to think in secret, before the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Zhao, the important official who entrusted Gu to take the lead in surrendering Cao, is really very difficult..." Zhou Shan knelt down and clasped his fists in pleading.

"But I really..." Sun Shangxiang couldn't bear to hear this.

"This is Jiangdong's big plan, the Sun family's big plan, my lord, he said that if Miss does not follow, then..." Zhou Shan hesitated to speak.

"Then what?" Sun Shangxiang sat upright again.

Zhou Shan said solemnly: "The lord said that if Miss is willing to be Liu's wife, she will no longer be the daughter of the Sun family..."

Sun Shangxiang slapped his forehead fiercely, never expecting that Sun Quan would persecute him like this.

"Miss." Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was furious, the maid next to her hurried forward to support her.

The maid scolded: "The young lady said she couldn't help, why are you still making noise?"

Zhou Shan was scolded with a dazed face, and said to himself that I am the lord's confidant, those civil and military men in Jiangdong are polite to me, how dare you woman do this?

"Yue'er, forget it..." Sun Shangxiang calmed down and didn't want to pay any more attention.

Yue'er is Sun Shangxiang's maidservant sword, she saw Zhou Shan's ugly face but she was not afraid at all, "Miss is right, A Dou is not in Jiangling at all now, and General Zhao Zilong is guarding Jiangling, you can't leave the city if you want to rob A Dou .”

"Not in Jiangling? How is that possible? He couldn't have entered Sichuan with the army, right?" Zhou Shan had a look of disbelief.

"Adou went to Quanling with his mother. If you have the ability, go to Lingling Prefect's Mansion to arrest someone. What kind of hero is it to force Miss?" Yue'er teased.

"Yue'er, don't say any more, Zhou Shiwei should go back to Jiangdong as soon as possible." Sun Shangxiang's tone was cold.

Zhou Shan thought quickly in his head that Jiangling City is now tightly guarded. Without Sun Shangxiang's cover, even if A Dou is in his hand, he might not be able to leave the city.

"I already know the difficulty of Miss. Now that the things have been delivered, I will go back to Jiangdong and tell the lord that Wu Zuo and Wu You miss their hometown. I want to bring them back together. I don't know Miss..."

Wu Zuo and Wu You restrained a lot, and they didn't stop Sun Shangxiang if they wanted to leave. She waved her hand and said, "Guard Zhou just take it away."

"Wei." Zhou Shan got up to leave.

Taking advantage of the time to pack their bags in the courtyard, Wu Zuo and Wu You came to Sun Shangxiang to say goodbye.

Sun Shangxiang raised her head and squinted her eyes, and told the two of them: "Don't talk nonsense..."

Chapter 200 Willing to go my own way

Zhou Shan's coming to Sun Shangxiang's other courtyard was not a big deal, but it did not hide from the eyes of Liuying Sima (Jiangling police chief) Zhao Yun.

After bidding farewell to Sun Shangxiang, Zhou Shan was in a hurry to go to Lingling to snatch Adou, so he didn't stay in Jiangling for half a minute, and called Wu Zuo and Wu You to go straight to the south gate.

The two carriages were unimpeded along the way, but they were stopped when they reached the gate of the city.

Zhou Shan scolded the sergeant: "I am an envoy from Jiangdong, and I have verified my identity when I entered the city. How dare you, a soldier, come to stop me again?"

The doorman replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The general ordered that the entry and exit be strict, and all vehicles and horses should be inspected once they leave the city."

"Who on earth is so entrusted? He can at least bear the responsibility of destroying the alliance between the two families?" Zhou Shan frowned and said angrily.

"It's me." The voice was loud and powerful.

Zhou Shanxun looked around, only to see a general in white robe and silver armor slowly walking down the steps on the top of the city gate.

"General." The soldier hurriedly cupped his fists.

The two brothers Wu Zuo and Wu You came down from the carriage behind, and they bowed in the direction of Zhao Yunlai and saluted, calling out, "General Zilong."

"Guard Zhou? We seem to have met him last time we came to Jiangling." Zhao Yun nodded and said.

Zhou Shan knew that Zhao Yunzhiyong was comparable to others, so he clasped his fists and saluted, "I want to leave the city and go back to Jiangdong, but I don't want this pawn not to let me go..."

"Guard Zhou only came in the morning and is leaving in the afternoon, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Yun asked suspiciously.

"This time, I was ordered by the lord to deliver some local products from Jiangdong. I don't want to bother you because I am pregnant, so I left first." Zhou Shan explained.

Zhao Yun nodded first, then looked at Wu Zuo and Wu You behind him and asked, "Are you seeing them off, or are you going back?"

"My two brothers came to Jingzhou for several years, and because they missed their homeland, they went back with Zhou Shiwei." Wu Zuo said truthfully.

"My lord is not in Jingzhou. I am in charge of the security of Jiangling. People and vehicles going out of the city will be checked. Please cooperate." Zhao Yun ordered the guards to search the two carriages without giving Zhou Shan a chance to speak.

Don't look at Zhou Shan's anger just now, but he didn't dare to talk back in front of Zhao Yun's coercion, thinking that he had more important things to do, so he planned to bear it like this.

The doorman simply searched the carriage, and there was no other suspicious person or thing inside, so he nodded slightly at Zhao Yun.

"It's a routine inspection. If you offend me, please leave the city."

Zhao Yun waved his hand when he received the message, and the rest of the guards gave way immediately.

After driving the carriage to the pier, Zhou Shan boarded his boat and sailed on the Yangtze River, so he couldn't help but curse a few words.

When Wu Zuo and Wu You first came to Jingzhou, relying on Liu Bei's love for Sun Shangxiang, the two were very comfortable in Jiangling Flying Eagles and dogs. Later, Sun Shangxiang lost power and lived worse than in Jiangdong. Now they feel very good when they go home. Do not come to Gangneung.

Seeing the two brothers rejoicing on the deck, Zhou Shan walked slowly from the cabin and asked, "I want to go to Quanling, and take Liu Chan to Jiangdong for a short stay. Your two brothers should help me complete the important task of the lord." .”

Wu Zuo and Wu You were struck by lightning upon hearing this, and fell directly from heaven to hell.

Wu Zuo asked in great surprise: "Zhou Shiwei, are you kidding me? With just a few of us, we can go to the Lingling Prefect's Mansion to bring the prince out?"

"Is this difficult? You have to use strategy to do things..." Zhou Shan pointed to his head and said.

Wu Zuo and Wu You looked at each other. There are weak guards in the six counties of Jingzhou, but you have to pick the hardest bone to chew on. They wanted to tell him that Lantian is powerful, but they remembered Sun Shangxiang's instructions before leaving.

"Forgive me, you can't use any tricks. If Guard Zhou really wants to go to Quanling to take risks, Brother You and I would rather go back to Jiangling, please ask the boatman to turn the rudder back." Wu Zuo shook his head and said.

Zhou Shan sneered, what do you two idiots know about tricks?

"It's a secret matter, how could I send you back? Wasn't Sima Zhao Yun suspicious when he found out? Your brothers are much less courageous than before..." Zhou Shan looked disdainful.

Wu Zuo and Wu You smiled wryly and did not answer. They looked at each other and knew that they had boarded a 'thief ship', and they planned to get to the place where they would not disembark.

Zhou Shan's boat came near the Public Security Bureau, and the sky gradually became dark, so it docked at the new ferry built by Gan Ning for the night.

After Mi Fang moved the administrative office to Public Security according to Liu Bei's request, this small port gradually became prosperous due to the presence of a large number of county-level government offices.

Public security ferry is divided into official port and civilian port. Since it is the only way to go to Jiangling, all the counties in Jingzhou will transit here. There are all inns and post stations around the ferry to serve the government and the people.

After the passenger ship docked at the ferry, other ships entered the port one after another, and the people on board disembarked one after another. They all clamored to go to the ferry for some food and wine.

Seeing what these people said with gusto, Zhou Shan asked the two brothers Wu Zuo and Wu You: "The last time I passed by here was just a garrison. There is food, we go ashore to have a feast."
