"Governor, this is..." Lu Su had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Ziming, you will drive the battleship back to Xinye to meet Chenggong, and Zijing and I will go to capture Jiangling." Zhou Yu said calmly.

"Seize Jiangling? Aren't we allied with Liu Xuande?" Lu Meng was taken aback.

Zhou Yu snorted coldly: "At the time of the Red Cliff War, our Jiangdong contributed the most but benefited the least. After Liu Qi died, the lord and Liu Bei agreed to share equally, but Liu Bei took it by trick. I want to take back the agreed Jiangling for the lord."

Lu Meng swallowed his saliva: "Guan Yunchang is still in Xinye..."

"It's best for Cao Cao to block him in Xinye. We take Jiangling and then go to Jiangxia, so that the entire Yangtze River waterway can be controlled by us." Zhou Yu analyzed.

"If we fail to take Jiangling and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei return to the army, wouldn't Jiangdong be in danger?" Lu Meng was still worried.

"It depends on Ziming. The Jingzhou navy only has small boats, and I leave you with these two fighting ships. One is to meet Cheng Gong and the others, and the other is to delay Guan Yu as much as possible. As for Zhang Fei on land, there is nothing to fear. When he returned from Xiangyang, Jiangling had already fallen into my hands." Zhou Yu had a plan in mind.

"Wei." Lu Meng's blood was surging when he heard that.

It is almost the highest honor for all generals to open up the territory and fight on the battlefield. Lu Meng feels that he is lucky to be able to participate in it.

Lu Meng led two battleships to go north, while Zhou Yu and the remaining warships went west to Yangshui.

Zhou Yu could not help showing a happy smile, thinking that he would soon be able to rely on tactics to conquer the city, but Lu Su, who had facilitated the alliance between Sun and Liu, was not happy.

Destroying the Sun Liu alliance and fighting against Cao Cao alone may not be possible in the current Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu is now the governor of Jiangdong. Although he is very reluctant to have this happen, Lu Su can only accept his fate.

When approaching Jiangling, Zhou Yu said to Lu Su: "Jiangling City is also an important town in Jingzhou, and its strength is not weaker than that of Xiangyang. At that time, we have to ask Zijing to earn Liu Bei. As long as this person is captured, Jingzhou can be controlled."

"Governor, can someone else go?" Lu Su said in his heart that he couldn't keep cheating on me alone.

"Hey...Zijing is honest and honest, only you can win Liu Xuande's trust...ah..." Zhou Yu suddenly covered his right chest while speaking.

Zhou Yu's face was pale and grim. At this moment, the position where his hand was covering was the position where the arrow was shot in Xiangyang.

During the fierce siege of Xiangyang, Zhou Yu personally went to the city to command in order to boost morale, but was injured by the arrows of the defenders.

Lu Su hurriedly supported him: "Governor, several months have passed, and your arrow wound has not healed yet?"

"Occasionally... Occasionally, it still hurts. It seems that I will be with me for a long time..." Injury is a common thing, and Zhou Yu didn't take it too seriously before.

Lu Su nodded and said, "I heard that Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in Nanyang, is in Jiangling. I'll bring him here and let the governor take a good look at it."

"Okay..." Zhou Yu nodded and stopped talking.

Zhou Yu landed beside the East Chi Lake in Jiangling, and then brought [-] troops to Jiangling City.

At this time, Jiangling gave people a feeling of silence. The brigade stopped a few hundred meters to the east of the city, and Lu Su came to the city alone and called for the door.

"Who are you?" the city guard shouted from the tower.

Lu Su clasped his fists in salute, "I am Lu Su from Jiangdong, and I came here specially to meet Mr. Liu Shijun. Please pass it on."

"Wait a moment." Shoucheng said and turned to leave.

After waiting for a stick of incense, a silver-haired veteran walked up to the top of the city. Lu Su recognized this person as Pian General Huang Zhong, the hero who helped Liu Qi take down Jiangling.

"Mr. Zijing? Why are you here?" Huang Zhong asked with a frown.

"General Huang, the governor is going to take Yizhou, and he passed by here to ask for an interview. I don't know where Liu Shijun is?" Lu Su asked.

Huang Zhong stroked his white beard: "The lord is not in Jiangling at this time, the governor must go to Yizhou on his own, and I will report to the lord when the time comes."

"Where did Mr. Liu go?" Lu Su thought to himself, it's too unfortunate, now that Cao Cao's army is overwhelming, why are you still running around?

"My lord went to Lingling for something, and I don't know when to return." Huang Zhong waved his hand.

Lu Su was speechless for a moment. It would be meaningless to say more without the Lord, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing that Lu Su did not call to open the door, Zhou Yu urged his horse to follow and asked, "Zijing, what's the matter?"

"Liu Shijun went to Lingling, what should we do? Attack?" Lu Su asked in a low voice.

Seeing the extraordinary bearing of the silver-haired veteran on the top of the wall, Zhou Yu asked, "Who is this guard?"

"Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng..." Lu Su introduced.

"The one who helped Liu Qi seize Jiangling?" Zhou Yu was very surprised.

If it was an unknown person, he could try a strong attack, but Huang Zhong was obviously difficult to deal with. Zhou Yu hesitated for a while, and then took two steps forward.

"Next Zhou Yu, I've heard about General Huang's name for a long time..." Zhou Yu bowed his hands.

"I've seen the governor." Huang Zhong also clasped his fists in return.

"Yu wanted to take Xichuan and passed by here. I wanted to meet Liu Shijun, but it was so unfortunate. The athletes behind me are exhausted. Can you go to the city to rest for the night? I will leave early tomorrow morning..." Zhou Yu continued.

Huang Zhong shook his head and replied: "I'm sorry for the governor. I heard that Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou. Jiangling City has ordered a curfew to prevent it. It is not suitable for soldiers and horses from Jiangdong to enter the city..."

"General Huang, is Nanyang Zhang Zhongjing in the city?" Lu Su asked again.

"It's really a coincidence that Mr. Zhongjing also went south with the Lord. If Zijing has an emergency, he can go to Lingling for help..." Huang Zhong continued to shake his head.

Lu Su and Zhou Yu sat on the wax for a moment, no matter how clever the counterfeit strategy was, but the other party had nothing to do if they didn't accept the trick at all. Lu Su even wanted to sneak into the city to find out the truth, but he didn't expect that this road was also blocked up.

"Did Mrs. Sun also go to Lingling?" Zhou Yu asked suddenly.

"Mrs. Sun is here, what's the matter with the governor?" Huang Zhong asked back.

Zhou Yu said with a leisurely smile, "My lord has something to bring to Mrs. Sun, and I would like to ask General Huang to let Lu Zijing come to the city for the convenience of me."

"That's no problem." Huang Zhong nodded in agreement.

"After Zijing entered the city, he used Ms. Sun's mouth to find out the reality of Jiangling. If it doesn't work, we will attack by force." Zhou Yuxu ordered.

"I can save it."

Lu Su's words fell silent, and the city gate was opened a little. He immediately nodded to Zhou Yu, and then rode his horse into the city.Originally thought that Jiangling City was empty, but when he walked into the city, he was instantly dumbfounded, the soldiers patrolling the city were very dense.

"Mr. Zijing, I will lead you to Mrs. Sun's other courtyard." Just as Lu Su was in a trance, a general came to salute with his fists clasped.

Seeing his extraordinary appearance, Lu Su asked curiously, "This is the first time I see a general, and I haven't asked for advice..."

"Don't dare to do it, I'm Wei Yan."

Chapter 163 Sun Shangxiang: Zhou Yu wants to rebel?

It was not the first time for Lu Su to come to Jiangling, maybe Zhou Yu had evil intentions, and his mentality at this time was different from before.

Horses can be walked in the city but not galloped. Lu Su has been watching the patrolling soldiers with anxiety like a thief seeing law enforcement.

Wei Yan walked beside him in silence, making the already lonely atmosphere even more stagnant.

"General Wei looks good. I wonder what position he holds under Ambassador Liu?" Lu Su opened the topic. Now is the opportunity to spy on the military situation, and he didn't want to let it go.

Wei Yan was expressionless, and replied lightly: "Yanchu voted for the lord, and he has not yet achieved an inch of merit. He will listen to it in Jiangling for the time being..."

"Cao Cao went south again, and I heard that General Yide also rushed to help, how many soldiers and horses did he bring?" Lu Su asked.

"It's all due to the transfer of the lord and the military division, how can the last general know..." Wei Yan shook his head and replied.

Lu Su nodded and sighed softly, "I think Jiangling is well-defended, and General Huang is always strong, but he was originally the general of the eldest son, but the envoy still entrusts the important task of city defense, which shows that he trusts him..."

"The old general is both civil and military. He has been in charge of Jiangling's city defense for a long time. The master and servant never trust..."

"If you have a degree of benevolence and righteousness, there are really a lot of talents under the account..."

After Lu Su complimented Liu Bei, he stopped talking, and his master had to practice the words "Ren Bu Doubt".

Although there are only a few words with Wei Yan, there are some gains in just a few words, that is, after Liu Bei took control of Jiangling, Huang Zhong was still in charge of city defense.

This veteran is so familiar with the road, even if there are not many troops, he will not be able to break through in a short time.

Where can I find an internal response?

Originally, Zhou Yu came to Jiangling for a surprise attack. Even if he won Jiangling, he would turn against Liu Bei. At that time, the situation in Jingzhou would be in chaos, and it would be impossible to fight against Cao Liu with Jiangdong's strength.

The more Lu Su thought about it, the more confused he became, and soon he came to Sun Shangxiang's other courtyard.

Sun Shangxiang has hundreds of servants and servants, all of whom are skilled in martial arts. If there is any abnormal behavior and it will not end well, Liu Bei will send Zhao Yun to take a battalion of soldiers to 'guard' beside the other courtyard.

Wei Yan lured Lu Su to take over, and Lu Su saw that the general Zhao Yun was also in the city, and he had forgotten the careful thought of seizing Jiangling, and he was thinking about Zhou Yu's next step.

"Mr. Zijing."

"General Zilong."

After the two parties clasped their fists together to salute, Zhao Yun said to Wei Yan, "Let's go, Mr. Wen, I will lead Mr. Zijing to see the mistress."

"Wei." Wei Yan cupped his fists and left.

The only brave general who followed Zhou Yu to Jiangling was Ling Tong. Lu Su thought that even if Zhao Zilong didn't fight, Wei Wenchang might not be able to defeat him.

Zhao Yun led Lu Su to the gate of the other courtyard. Sun Shangxiang heard that there were people from Jiangdong again, so he sent his family to meet him.

Lu Su was a little surprised to see that man, isn't this the lord's confidant Zhou Shan?How could he be in Miss's other courtyard?

Although Lu Su was shocked, he managed his emotions well. He smiled and bowed his hands to Zhao Yun.

As soon as he entered the gate of the other courtyard, Lu Su asked suspiciously: "Zhou Huwei, why are you here?"

"My lord is worried that Miss misses her hometown, so she sent me over to give some Wuhui's special products. I'm planning to go back in a few days." Zhou Shan responded with a smile.

"So it's like this..." Lu Su turned his head to look around, and then asked mysteriously, "Miss, is there any outsider in this other courtyard?"

"There are people from Jiangdong inside and outside the other courtyard, and Miss is still very free in Jingzhou." Zhou Shan replied.

Lu Su nodded, "This is the best..."

It was cold in early spring, and Jiangling City was still as cold as before.

As soon as Lu Su entered the hall, he felt warm on his body, and there were carbon basins around the room.

Sun Shangxiang was born in a family, and now she is the mistress of Jingzhou. She still knows how to enjoy herself, and she is basically the same after marrying Liu Bei.

After the two greeted and greeted each other, Lu Su and Zhou Shan sat down, and Sun Shangxiang asked the maid to bring soup and tea to keep out the cold.

"Why does Zijing have time to come to Jiangling?" Sun Shangxiang asked.

Jingzhou's climate is almost the same as that of Jiangdong, and Liu Bei transferred her a few cooks from Guiyang. Sun Shangxiang married to Jingzhou for several months, not only did not feel uncomfortable, but was raised fat and white.

Lu Su nodded and said: "Su and the governor passed by Jiangling and wanted to meet Duke Xuande, but when they heard that he had gone to Lingling, they stopped by to say hello to Miss. I think Miss looks good, and seems to be doing well here. "

"Xuande has a lot of capable people, and they all live in harmony. As long as there is no war, I think Jingzhou will soon recover its former vitality."

Cai, Kuai, Pang, and Huang, the original four powerful families in Jingzhou, have split. With the surrender of Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others to Cao Cao, most of the Cai family and Kuai family moved to the Central Plains, and a small number of them stayed in Xiangyang and Nanyang. The relationship between Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang has now all turned to support Liu Bei, and the small gentry who supported Liu Qi have also come over. The current situation in Jingzhou is more stable than that of Liu Biao.

In essence, Liu Bei's foreign faction controls the military power, and Jingzhou's local gentry controls the political power. Although the situation is very similar to Jiangdong, Liu Bei's confidence comes from the unity of civil and military forces, and from the great achievements of Lantian in Jingnan.

Even without the support of the gentry in Jingzhou, Liu Bei could still obtain food and grass from Jingnan and recruit soldiers from the conquered Yue people, but Sun Shangxiang and Lu Su didn't know it.

"Mr. Xuande is indeed a hero. It seems that he can defend Jingzhou..." Lu Su said to himself.

Sun Shangxiang frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "I heard that Cao thief has arrived in Xinye, and Zijing is not with Zhou Lang, why did he come to Jiangling?"

"Ahem... Liu Zhang is weak in the middle of Shu, and the governor wants to take Xichuan for the lord. We passed by Jiangling with the navy, and we are going to take a rest before going upstream..." Lu Su wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve .

"Zhou Lang withdrew all the navy troops, who is now defending against the Cao bandits in Xinye?" Sun Shangxiang looked puzzled.

"Cheng Gong led the troops to defend Xinye, and General Guan's reinforcements..." Lu Su felt that he was wearing too much clothes, why was there sweat on his forehead?

Sun Shangxiang couldn't help laughing: "Zhou Gongjin prides herself on being unparalleled in intelligence, so she's going to fetch Xichuan at this time? Could it be that she wants to betray me, Jiangdong?"

Lu Su was startled and said, "Miss, why did you say that? My lord agreed to the governor's plan to take Xi Chuan in front of me."

"Hmph, when will you get it? When will you not get it? He left Chenggong and General Guan in Xinye, why didn't he join forces with Yide to attack Xiangyang? Or go back to Jiangdong to help his brother attack Hefei, but he just came to Jiangling Now, Zhou Yu either betrayed Jiangdong, or wanted to sneak attack Jingzhou." Sun Shangxiang sneered.

Lu Su was so stunned that he couldn't speak for a while, never expecting Miss Sun to be so knowledgeable.

"Why didn't Zijing speak? Could it be that I was right?" Sun Shangxiang continued to ask.

Lu Su wiped the sweat from his forehead again, smiled and said: "Miss, it's so warm here, you can see that the sweat is coming out unconsciously, it's actually the arrow wound of the governor of the capital, and I came to Jiangling to seek medical treatment from Zhang Zhongjing." ..."

Chapter 164 Zhuge village man, ruin my plan

Sun Quan asked Zhou Shan to send a letter to his family before, and the letter mentioned that Zhou Yu might have self-reliance, and asked Sun Shangxiang to remind Liu Bei to strengthen Jingzhou's defenses.

Sun Shangxiang didn't believe it at first, but Zhou Yu's behavior was so bizarre that even if he asked for a doctor, he didn't need to bring the navy with him. She asked suspiciously, "Zhou Gongjin's arrow wound has not healed yet?"

Lu Su shook his head quickly, "The governor was shot at a vital position, and it happened not long ago..."

"Mr. Zhongjing has already gone south with Xuande. If Gongjin is seriously injured, he can be sent to Lingling. It is best to go alone in a light boat. If he takes the Jiangdong water army there, he may be misunderstood by Lan Ziyu. He is the four counties in Jingnan." defense zone." Sun Shangxiang suggested.

"Mr. Ziyu..." Lu Su recalled the past and remembered the fish soup on the boat at that time, but he did not expect that he was still favored by Liu Bei.
