Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

It was really not good for ordinary civil servants and military generals to go straight to the backyard of the county mansion and grab Li Mu for questioning. They could only surround Zhou Yu's mansion.Only one "unusual" veteran remained in the front hall until late at night.

Cheng Pu is a veteran who followed Sun Jian to fight everywhere. After Jiangdong III, the guards of the county government did not dare to chase him away directly, so they could only report to Li Mu.

Li Mu was thinking about the marriage between the Gu family and Zhou Yu.The Gu family is from the Jiangdong family, and Gu Shu has a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament. She is a close match with Zhou Yu, a talented man and a beautiful woman.It is conceivable that if she hadn't appeared in this era out of thin air, Zhou Yu would probably not refuse this marriage.

Later generations say that Zhou Lang and Xiao Qiao are heroes and beauties, but they don't have much to say about Zhou Yu's official wife. Even Li Mu, if he hadn't mentioned the marriage suddenly, would never have imagined that Zhou Yu in history would have other things besides Xiao Qiao, who is the most beautiful in the world. wife and children.

Hearing that Cheng Pu refused to leave, Li Mu withdrew his thoughts and sighed fiercely—Old General Cheng has a heroic temperament and spent half his life fighting for the Jiangdong Sun Clan. don't go.

Sun Shaozheng sent Mrs. Wu back to her room, and then looked for her. Hearing her sigh, he ran over, puffed up his chest, and grabbed Li Mu's sleeve: "Second uncle, don't worry, I will accompany you. Old General Cheng saw me. I won't say much."

Ever since the farce in front of Sun Ce's mourning hall, when Cheng Pu saw this little guy, he really couldn't say much, no matter whether he had reason or not.The veteran of the third generation made a fool of himself in front of a baby, and he was still in front of his father's spirit. Whenever he saw him, he would inevitably feel ashamed.

Children's senses are the most acute, and Sun Shao didn't understand Cheng Pu's entanglement with the British Lord, but he could clearly feel the half-white-haired veteran's concession and connivance towards him.

Li Mu was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the little guy with his chest up and his head up, as if "I'm protecting you".

After straightening out her thoughts, she rumpled his soft forehead hair. She squatted down and looked at Sun Shao levelly: "Then if it's Zhang Zibu who came, will you still accompany me?"

There are many heroes in Jiangdong, Sun Shao is still young, and many civil servants and military generals are all half teachers. "It's useless for me to go to Zhang Zibu..." Sun Shao bit his lip, and muttered again.Zhang Zibu, with a dark face, was serious and long-winded, not only would he say a few words when he saw him, but he might have to say more.

"Zhang Zibu is about the same age as Old General Cheng, and both are people your father relies heavily on. Why is there such a difference?" Li Mu asked a question, patted Sun Shao's thin shoulder, and then stood up .

In the world, Sun Shao will become a prince and general in the future, and she doesn't have much to teach.What's more, she can use some rumors from later generations to guide her, but rumors are rumors after all. She doesn't have a deep foundation in historical research, and she doesn't want the speculation and inferences after thousands of years to affect this child who is at the most critical age to establish a outlook on life.Therefore, there are some things that she can bring up, but he can only figure it out by himself.

Sun Shao covered his messy hair and looked up at Li Mu pitifully, knowing that she didn't want to take him with him.

Leaving the little guy behind and thinking about "life" slowly, Li Mu walked quickly to the front hall.

"Did General Cheng come here for Sun Cao's marriage?" Without waiting for Cheng Pu to ask, Li Mu did not finish his long bow, and went straight to the point.

Seeing Sun Shao was uncomfortable, but Cheng Pu was very peaceful in front of Li Mu, and even after the incident of the real and fake Sun Quan, he was very close to "the victims sympathize with each other".It was enough courtesy, and he didn't make any detours: "I think that Mr. Quan should not marry Cao Cao."

"Cao Cao's name is a Han minister, but he is actually a Han traitor. Yuan Shu's nickname is also taken in by Yuan Shao, and he is also a rebellion against his ministers. Watching him two tigers fighting, both losers, and then marching northward, the old man is willing to be the vanguard. The Lord opened up the territory."

The old general spoke sonorously, Li Mu stood with his hands behind his back, but pretended to sigh: "Quan... in two years, he will reach the crown. The reason for mourning will not be long."

Cheng Pu was taken aback for a moment, only thinking that he was lamenting that he had reached the age of marriage, and he was very puzzled: "There are many beautiful women in Jiangdong, and most of them are admiring young masters..."

"Old General Cheng..." Li Mu hurriedly waved his hand before he said that he would not worry about not being able to marry a wife, stopped his words, and raised his eyebrows, "Quan asked himself that his appearance, talent, fame and achievements are not satisfactory, I want To marry a wife, no one is willing to marry. But the old general can think about it, Ah Shao is only seven years old this year, even if I get married in two years and have children, the difference between the uncle and nephew is only ten years. At that time, he also reached the crown age, and with my foundation in Jiangdong, will it give people with ulterior motives an opportunity to shake the majesty of Ashao Junhou and plant hidden dangers for my future inheritance in Jiangdong?"

The excuse of mourning could not be delayed for two years. Li Mu, as Sun Quan, made the marriage contract if the daughter of a certain family in Jiangdong, no matter what, they would get married in two years.Counting all the way through marriage and childbirth, although there is a ten-year age gap between her heirs and Sun Shao, Jiangdong Sun Quan's reputation is too high. If someone deliberately provokes, for Jiangdong, Sun Ce's only son may have military exploits. But on the other hand are Sun Quan's heirs, and their military exploits and political achievements are naturally not bad. If these two sons compete, they will repeat the mistakes of Cao Yuan.

Even if you can't fight, your heart will always be unstable.

The only way to determine when Cao's daughter will get married depends on how much of the covenant between the two families is still alive, and even the process of three letters and six rituals can take a whole year.In the end, if the two families turned against each other, the marriage contract would naturally be abandoned.

This procrastinated time is the time for Sun Shao to grow up.In another five years, when Sun Shao was established in the past and his foundation was solid, his nephew would only be at the age of tying his hair. This gap is the most secure.

"If I get married early, how will Ah Shao deal with herself in the future?" Li Mu's excuse was so earnest and righteous that even she herself was moved.

Using Sun Shao as an excuse, he took advantage of the great righteousness and the great profit.It is not uncommon in history that brothers and nephews struggle for power, and Li Mu does not know what Sun Shao's situation was under Sun Quan's dominance in history, but now she is the one who takes the name of this uncle and nephew. Jiangdong, people can no longer have other thoughts and create chaos because of this "name".

It just so happened that no one would put their minds on her marriage anymore.

It's just that he could speak righteously in front of Cheng Pu and Li Mu, but he was too embarrassed to say it in front of Sun Shao, the "client", so he did everything possible to stop the little guy.

And Cheng Pu did as she wished, and was deeply moved: "Young Master Quan is righteous!"

Li Mu's eyes flashed, and he bowed to Cheng Pu to return the salute, pursed his lips, and said again seemingly unintentionally: "The Jiangdong path is not deep enough, and it is in a corner, so we can only use the natural danger of the Yangtze River as a gateway. But if you rely on the land of Jingzhou , Take Yizhou in the west, leave Hanzhong, and occupy Xiongguan, surrounded by the dangers of the Shuzhong Mountains as a barrier. When Ashao grows up, he can inherit the ambitions of his father and brother. If he advances, he can compete with Cao Cao, and if he retreats, he can conquer the world and rule... When the time comes, Gong Jin and I will defend the land of Wu together, Jing Chu and Shu benefit, and he will decide from it..."

"Zhou Gongjin?" Cheng Pu was taken aback.

Since returning to Wu, he also suspected that Li Mu and Zhou Yu were very close, but they had been at odds over the past year. It wasn't until recently that Zhou Yu asked to marry the Taishi family. It's beyond the imagination of others, but I didn't want to but suddenly heard Li Mu mentioning that he and Zhou Yu would guard the land of Wu together.

However, Zhou Yu has made great military achievements now, and in the future, he will open up new territories, whether it is Jingzhou or Yizhou, all of which will be more useful. It was as if this matter had been discussed by them long ago.

After all, Cheng Pu is a veteran who has been working for many years. Even if there are some things that he doesn't think about carefully on weekdays, Li Mu's point of view at this time is very fast.

The land of Jiangdong was originally divided into veteran faction and young and strong faction based on seniority, or into local faction and foreign faction according to ancestral origin. Among them, there were different camps for civil servants and generals, and heroes from the six counties formed their own camps. Fighting for each other's interests, and there are several marriages with each other, it can be said that there are many factions, intertwined, and the relationship is extremely complicated.

But now Jiangdong's civil servants and military generals are basically divided into two factions, either favoring Li Mu, or Zhou Yu as the leader.Because of the fighting strategy between the two people, they fought openly and secretly.But in retrospect, in this year of seemingly constant disputes, there were not too many substantive conflicts.

Thinking about it again, Li Mu has always planned for Sun Shao, and Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have a close relationship. The two people's desires are basically the same!If they didn't have any quarrel at all...or if there was any quarrel between these two, how could the battle between Jiangdong Yingjie be as simple as it is now?

Letting out a long breath, Cheng Pu looked at Li Mu's smiling face, and the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became, and then he thought that since the farce in Xunyang, he had always been dissatisfied with Zhou Yu's strong control of the military power in public and private, even After Zhou Yu and Li Mu had a public quarrel, he expressed his concern about being too aggressive in front of Li Mu.

Thinking of this, this veteran of the third generation felt anxious and ashamed: "I don't want Zhou Gongjin to be so generous, I misjudged him."

Li Mu knew that he was a heroic and loyal man, and he also knew that this veteran general had a high prestige in the army. Although Zhou Yu now controls most of the military power, since he wanted to venture out of Xuchang and Yecheng, Cheng Pu would continue to misunderstand him. It will inevitably cause disturbances in the army and require him to spend more time.

What's more, if she stays in Wu County in the future, the younger sister of Taishi Ci's family who has already made a marriage contract with Zhou Yu will naturally have to stay in Wu County.With this excuse, Zhou Yu can stay in Wu County together on the grounds of avoiding power.

For a long time, "Sun Quan" has no wife, but he and Zhou Lang go in and out together, and even stay in Jiangdong, they also go together. Should I give him a girl, or a young man.

Thinking of Zhou Yu's expression when he heard such rumors in the future, Li Mu couldn't help laughing, almost laughing.

Seeing Cheng Pu raised his eyes, she quickly retracted the corners of her mouth, bowed her head long, and lowered her head to hide the flying smile on her brows: "Gongjin wants to use Sun Cao's marriage to send troops, but this matter has something to do with Jiangdong's support, and I hope that Old General Cheng will Take care."

Leveraging Cheng Pu's influence among military generals, she spread the news that she wanted to protect Sun Shao's foundation, and at the same time laid a cornerstone for Zhou Yu's future name rectification. According to Cao's daughter, half of the dowry was paid first, thinking that Jiang Qi had been sent away by the agreement, and it happened to use this excuse to mobilize the deployment of the army.

On the other hand, Liu Bei, who heard that Cao Cao had sent an envoy to cross the river, originally planned to pay more visits to a few Jiangdong celebrities, but couldn't sit still.

He crossed the river in secret without telling Cao Cao, and went directly to Jingzhou when he borrowed a boat, and would never return to Xuzhou.If Cao Cao's envoy learned that he came to Jiangdong to borrow a boat... Although Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are now fighting at Guandu, the thunderous raid of Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry left him a huge shadow. He dared not take risks, so he lived in Jiangqi On the second day after entering the Jiangdong Station, he hurried to find Li Mu and asked about the ship, planning to set off for Jingzhou immediately.
