Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Sun Shangxiang frowned and said, "Lan Ziyu is unpredictable. I rarely heard about him in Jiangling. Now he asked Gan Xingba to build a fortification at the mouth of the Youjiang River on the opposite bank. Jingnan's navy is stationed there. Xuan De gave this man too much power."

Lu Su was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Why is Lan Ziyu setting up defenses on the other side? This is clearly to guard against Jiangling, and Duke Xuande doesn't care about it?"

"Lan Ziyu's reason is that he will build fortifications along the Yangtze River one after another, treat Yiling, Jiangling, and Jiangxia as a whole, and carry out a unified strategic plan. Increase the port of call (water rest area)." Sun Shangxiang explained.

Lan Tian's original intention was to worry about Mi Fang. Youjiangkou (public security) belongs to the Wuling territory, and he didn't intend to give this capitulator any chance. However, the strategic intention of joint defense and joint control was unexpectedly affirmed by Zhuge Liang and others.

These subordinates of Liu Bei are too scary, and Lu Su is also a person with a very high strategic vision, and he has already heard the mystery.

"Lan Ziyu seems to have some real skills..." Lu Su shook his head and sighed.

"He also..." Sun Shangxiang originally wanted to say that he would cheat Lu Fan by cooking a whole lamb for others, but he felt that the words were inappropriate.

"What's wrong with him?" Lu Su asked.

Sun Shangxiang rolled his eyes, looked at Lu Su and Zhou Shan separately, and said, "Let's not talk about Lan Ziyu. Since the governor has brought the navy out of Xinye, it will be useless to go back now. I think we can go down the river. Go help your brother capture Hefei, Cao Cao's main force is now in Xinye, even if he goes to rescue it, it will be too late."

"Wonderful." Lu Su praised.

He didn't expect Sun Shangxiang to say such clever words, but he was worried that Zhou Yu's arrow wound would strike at any time, so he immediately asked, "The chief governor's injury..."

"I'll write a book, and Zhou Lang can go to Lingling to seek medical treatment in a light boat..."

Before Sun Shangxiang could finish his sentence, Zhou Shan interrupted, "Arrow wounds won't kill you. Now is the time to help the lord attack Hefei. The Jiangdong water army will lose its combat effectiveness if it loses its commander."

"Uh... Zhou Shiwei's words are also reasonable. I can go out of the city and persuade the governor to return to Jiangdong." Lu Su immediately got up and clasped his fists.

"Mr. Zijing is waiting for me. I will stay in Jiangling for a long time, and I will take your fast boat back to Jianye." Zhou Shan also stood up.

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Sun Shangxiang hurriedly said, "Zijing, you wait a moment, I will write a reply to my brother."

The servant girl immediately fetched the pen and ink, and while waiting, Zhou Shan patted his head and said with a smile: "I bought some local products, and I plan to bring them to my family. Now go back to the room and get them for a while..."

Seeing Sun Shangxiang scribbling on the case, Lu Su nodded, "Guard Zhou, go and come back quickly."

"only."

Although Zhou Yu is now self-reliant, if he can be persuaded to return to Jiangdong to find a way to lift the military power, the loss to Jiangdong will undoubtedly be the lowest.

In the letter, Sun Shangxiang urged Sun Quan to treat Zhou Yu kindly, saying that he was only influenced by Jiangdong's political environment. If he could achieve peace with the generals like Liu Bei, then Zhou Yu would still be the minister of Jiangdong's pillar country.

When Lu Su and Zhou Shan walked out of the other courtyard, they saw that this guy didn't bring any luggage, so he asked suspiciously: "Guard Zhou, didn't you just say that you were going to get local products? Where did you put them?"

Zhou Shan grinned, patted his chest and said, "Actually, they are small gadgets, jewelry bought for my new concubine, Mr. Zijing, please don't say anything..."

"Understand...understand..." Lu Su pointed at him and smiled.

When the two left the city gate, it was still Zhao Yun and Wei Yan who gave them a section. Jiangling's city defenses were impeccable in Lu Su's view.

When Sun Shangxiang wrote the family letter just now, he accidentally said that there were [-] defenders in the city. It was also to dissuade Zhou Yu from attacking by force. Although Zhang Fei took away most of the garrison in Jiangling, he transferred some from Changsha Liu Pan to supplement it. , Zhuge Liang would not play empty city tricks in front of Zhou Yu.

Seeing that Lu Su looked good, Zhou Yu thought to himself that Jiangling looked interesting, but when he saw Zhou Shan next to him, he frowned.

"Zijing, is there any good news?" Zhou Yu first asked happily, and then asked in confusion, "Why did Guard Zhou leave the city with you? You should stay in Jiangling to respond."

Lu Su shook his head and said, "Governor, let's go back to Jiangdong. Jiangling City is well-defended, and there is no possibility of a surprise attack..."

Zhou Yu frowned and looked at the two people in front of him in confusion. Lu Su explained, "Although Zhang Fei took away most of the defenders in Jiangling, Kong Ming transferred troops from Changsha. Now there are five thousand defenders in the city. With Huang Zhong and general Zhao Yun present, there is no chance for a strong attack..."

"Mr. Zhuge, ruin my plan..." Zhou Yu gritted his teeth.

"Governor, now Cao Cao's main force is still in Xinye. Let's take the navy back to Jiangdong to help the Lord. Taking Hefei is also a great achievement." Lu Su suggested.

Zhou Yu was in charge of Jiangdong's ingenuity, and he immediately understood Lu Su's intentions. The speed of boating on water was much faster than that of land, and he could use this advantage to beat Cao Cao by a little time. Maybe he could really capture Hefei, maybe the lord had already besieged the city.

Zhou Yu nodded. He walked out of the handsome tent and looked at Jiangling City in the distance. He said with some disappointment, "Just listen to Zijing's words, let's set up camp."

After marching for half a day and returning to the warship, there are two roads in front of Zhou Yu. One is to return to Hanshui via the original Yangshui River, and then join the Yangtze River from Jiangxia to return to Jiangdong, and the other is to enter the Yangtze River directly from Jiangling South.

"Governor, let's go from Yangshui." Lu Su suggested.

"The waterway of the Yangtze River is wide, and the speed down the river is faster. Why do we look far away?" Zhou Yu was puzzled.

Lu Su: "Gan Ning is stationed at the Youjiang Estuary on the opposite bank of Jiangling. If warships enter the Yangtze River directly from here, there may be conflicts with it..."

"Great Governor, soldiers are precious and fast, let's go to the Yangtze River. If Gan Ning dares to provoke, just kill them." Ling Tong was also on the main ship at this time.

After hearing this, Lu Su immediately reprimanded: "Gongji, we are now in the alliance between Sun and Liu. Wouldn't it be a breach of the alliance to attack Gan Ning rashly? You can't spoil the master's affairs because of your father's hatred."

Chapter 165 Zhongjing Pain Relief Pills

Ling Tong immediately stopped talking after being reprimanded. Although he didn't respond or argue, he was still dissatisfied in his heart. Avenging his father is more important than any alliance.

Jiangdong adopted the private army system, and the soldiers and horses of the generals could be inherited by the family. After Ling Cao died in the battle of Jiangxia, the soldiers and horses under his command were inherited by Ling Tong.

The low combat power of the troops led by Sun Quan is also directly related to this private army system, which is a combination of many private soldiers.

This is like the big chief on the prairie, leading countless small chiefs out to fight, and each of the small chiefs has their own calculations.

In order to help Hefei quickly, Zhou Yu ignored Lu Su's advice and chose to enter the Yangtze River from Jiangling.

Zhou Yu has never been afraid of anyone in water battles, and he believes that Gan Ning on the other side will not take the initiative to provoke.

The warships from Jiangdong turned into the Yangtze River, and when they passed the Youjiang Estuary, the fortifications on the other side had been completed.In addition to beacon towers, wharves, there are also defensive buildings such as watchtowers on the riverside.

Zhou Yu was quite shocked when he saw this scene, because in the future he would attack Jingzhou via the Yangtze River, and these strongholds would need to be removed one by one, otherwise it would be difficult for warships from Jiangdong to land on the shore.

"I don't know who gave Liu Bei the idea..." Zhou Yu stood on the bow and said to himself.

Lu Su sighed: "It is Lan Ziyu who came to Chaisang that day, and he is still being used by Liu Shijun to supervise the military administration of the four counties in southern Jing..."

"Is that a man? You really can't tell by appearances." Zhou Yu frowned and shook his head.

Zhou Yu's father was the mayor of Luoyang (the mayor of the capital), and his grandfather and uncle were both officials to Taiwei. Because he was born very tall, he was born with arrogance towards poor families or the head of Guizhou.

At that time, Lan Tian argued like a villain in the market. Hearing that he was only a farmer, Zhou Yu had no interest in learning more about it. Instead, it allows him to do things in a low-key manner.

When the Jiangdong warship was passing through the border, Gan Ning's water troops were on alert. Zhou Yu couldn't help but nodded as he watched the flags on the south bank.

"Governor, I think Jingzhou's fortifications are doing well. After returning to Jiangdong, you can also suggest to the Lord to build joint control and joint defense on the front lines of Chungu, Niuzhu, and Jianye." Lu Su nodded and said.

"What is joint control and joint defense?" Zhou Yu asked puzzled.

Lu Su then explained Sun Shangxiang's words to Zhou Yu in detail.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu felt dizzy. These seem to be Jingzhou's internal defense strategies, but in the general situation of the world, they are to defend Jiangdong. Does anyone see my strategy of falsely attacking Guo?

Seeing Zhou Yu's gloomy expression, Lu Su whispered in his ear, "Miss has already inadvertently guessed the plan of the governor to attack Guo..."

"Why not?" Zhou Yu hurriedly asked.

"Miss said...that the governor abandoned Xinye and came to Jiangling privately. Either he betrayed Jiangdong, or he wanted to attack Jingzhou..." Lu Su answered truthfully.

"I will betray Jiang Dong? Miss, how can you do this..." Zhou Yu covered his wound and rushed out, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and then passed out on the bow of the boat.

"The governor..." Lu Su hurriedly supported him, and then carried him into the cabin.

Since there was no fighting ship leading the way, the fleet did not continue to move forward after nightfall, but stopped near Shishou to rest, and continued sailing after dawn.

Seeing Zhou Yu coughing up blood, Lu Su felt uneasy, because both Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao died of coughing up blood. He summoned several generals to discuss countermeasures, thinking about whether to go to Changsha via Dongting tomorrow, and then go to Lingling to find Zhang Zhongjing to heal his wounds.

Although Zhou Shan was not a general in the army, he was Sun Quan's confidant, so he followed Lu Su to listen.

When Ling Tong and the others were silent, Zhou Shan objected: "My lord is still looking forward to it in Hefei, how can the great affairs of Jiangdong be spoiled because of the governor alone?"

"Should we send someone to send the governor to heal his wounds, and the rest of the warships will go back to Jiangdong first?" Lu Su suggested.

"The governor is famous all over the world, what if he is murdered by a traitor? Don't we in Jiangdong have famous doctors?" Zhou Shan continued.

While everyone was arguing, a pawn on Zhou Yu's boat came to invite him. He said that the governor had woken up and wanted to see Lu Su and Zhou Shan now.

When the two came to Zhou Yu's cabin, Lu Su saw that his complexion was very bad, so he sat beside him and comforted him: "Governor, we are discussing whether we should take you to Lingling to find Zhang Zhongjing."

Seeing Zhou Shan's unnatural expression, Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled and said, "Such minor injuries won't be fatal, but it's just a little uncomfortable when it happens. You'll be fine when you get to Jiangdong. Yu has been devoted to the Sun family since he followed General Bofu. Miss actually suspected that I was rebellious, really..."

"Don't think too much, the governor. The young lady was also angry at the time, and she couldn't do anything." Lu Su quickly explained.

"Miss, how can she have such a heart? If no one instigates her, it is impossible to say these words, it must be Liu Xuande's separation..." Zhou Yu said to himself.

"This...it's also possible..." Lu Su echoed his words. Although he didn't believe that Liu Bei would act like this, he couldn't say that Sun Shangxiang really suspected Zhou Yu. No matter what Sun Quan was thinking, he didn't say such a thing.

Although Zhou Yu was complaining to Lu Su, he was actually telling Zhou Shan, and he was showing his loyalty to Sun Quan.

Because Zhou Yu was in a coma and missed dinner, the pawn brought the hot porridge at this time.

Zhou Yu picked up the bowl and took two mouthfuls, then put the bowl aside.

Lu Su persuaded: "The marching route is rough, Gong Jin endures it for a few days, and then eat some..."

"The wound hurts unbearably, I really can't eat." Zhou Yu shook his head.

"The night is still long, if you don't eat..." Lu Su didn't know how to persuade him.

At this time, Zhou Shan took out a small cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Zhou Yu, and said, "This is the painkiller pill that I found Zhang Zhongjing to prepare after I first arrived in Jiangling. Just eat two."

"Does this painkiller work?" Zhou Yu didn't reach out to take it.

"I haven't tried it either, but Zhang Zhongjing is Liu Xuande's man, maybe he prepared the poison, so let me test the medicine for the governor." Zhou Shan took out a black pill from his bag, threw it in his mouth and chewed it a few times Swallowed down.

After about a cup of tea, Zhou Shan waved his hands and said, "It's warm after eating, it shouldn't be poison..."

"Zhang Zhongjing is a famous doctor, how could he be poisoned..." Zhou Yu took the cloth bag over, opened it and saw that there were only seven or eight pills left in it, then took a pill and took the porridge.

Both Lu Su and Zhou Shan were watching the effect of the medicine. After a while, Zhou Yu felt relaxed and said with a smile, "This Zhongjing is really a miracle doctor. It will be effective immediately after taking the medicine. Thank you for the gift from the guard Zhou."

"It's my honor, Zhou Shan, to be able to help the governor." Zhou Shan answered with cupped hands.

"The governor rests earlier, so we won't bother you." After Lu Su finished speaking, he pulled Zhou Shan away.

After Zhou Yu took the analgesic pills, his spirits improved. On the way back to Jiangdong, if he felt unwell, he took a pill, and the effect was immediate.

A few days later, the fleet arrived in Jiangxia in the evening to rest and rest. Fu Shiren, who stayed behind in Jiangxia, found out and came to the wharf with wine and meat to work as soldiers.

The Jiangdong soldiers hadn't eaten meat for a long time. After eating Fu Shiren's wine and meat, they all praised General Fu for his benevolence.

When the Jiangdong fleet crossed Jiangxia and entered the waters of E County, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a piercing pain. He hurried to get the painkillers sent by Zhou Shan, but there were only seven or eight pills in the cloth bag, and they had been emptied before he knew it.

An inexplicable sense of fear instantly filled Zhou Lang's brain.

Chapter 166 Zhou Yu died of poisoning?

Zhou Yu's pain at this time was ten times better than before.

Zhou Yu yelled in severe pain, then spewed black blood and fell into a coma.

When Lu Su and others heard the cry, they rushed into the cabin and found that Zhou Yu had rolled onto the wooden board.

"The governor..." Lu Su panicked.

"Great governor..." Ling Tong, Zhou Shan and others also shouted eagerly.

Because of the small space in the cabin, the generals on the main ship were anxiously spinning around in place.

Zhou Yu's complexion was gloomy, and his complexion was extremely bad. Sailing on the Chuanjiang River at this time was really incompetent.

"The governor's illness has never been so severe, what should we do now?" Ling Tong asked anxiously.

"Zhou Wei, do you still have that painkiller pill?" Lu Su suddenly remembered the magic pill when he saw Zhou Shan.

Zhou Shan shook his head, "It's gone...there are not many pills..."

"Gongji, go and order the fleet to travel day and night. Let's go to Chaisang to find the doctor as soon as possible." Lu Su made a decisive decision.

"Wei." Ling Tong responded and walked out of the cabin.

After Ling Tong left, Zhou Shan looked at Zhou Yu carefully, and after a while he said, "Mr. Zijing, you see that the governor's face is so dark, could it be poison?"

Lu Su was startled when he heard that, "You mean...that painkiller..."

Zhou Shan quickly waved his hand, "The Pain Relief Pill is not enough, after all, I tried the medicine first, last night in Jiangxia, the governor used a lot of wine and meat..."

"Guard Zhou guessed that Fu Shiren poisoned him? The lieutenant soldiers also used wine and meat, but there was nothing unusual, although the governor ate more..." Lu Su recalled carefully.

"The governor has been fine for the past few days, why did he suddenly become ill soon after passing by Jiangxia? Then Fu Shiren is Liu Xuande's confidant..." Zhou Shan asked doubtfully.

Lu Su thought for a while, then quickly waved his hands and said: "Although the governor has the intention of taking Jingzhou, he has not actually implemented it after all. Liu Shijun is also in Jingnan now, so it is impossible to arrange this in advance. Now Sun Liu The two families joined forces to fight against Cao Cao. We don’t have any real evidence, so we shouldn’t speculate. We’ll talk about it when we go to Chaisang…”

"Okay..." Zhou Shan nodded and walked out of the cabin.

Zhou Yu lay weakly in the cabin, and Lu Su stood beside him.

A few hours later, the Jiangdong warship sailed slowly into the night, because the vision was poor at night, so the speed of sailing was very slow.

"Ahem..." Zhou Yu coughed twice in the dark.
