Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Not only Liu Bei, but also Cao Cao, who was busy suppressing the rebellion in Hebei, also sent envoys to congratulate Jiangdong on the lively wedding.

It's just that Cao Cao's congratulatory ceremony is different from Liu Bei's.

The envoy Cao Cao sent to congratulate him was a young scholar of about 30 years old, with wide sleeves and straight train, tall and tall, with a handsome appearance.

"Prime Minister Cao's subordinate Bo Yangxiu was ordered to meet Marquis Wu Cheng."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back, smiled calmly, and brought up the words he and Li Mu had discussed a long time ago: "Wu Chenghou's sister is getting married recently, Master Yang can go to Wu County by boat."

"Why should Dudu Zhou lie to me!" Yang Xiu cupped his hands calmly, with a shrewd look in his eyes, "The Dudu and Marquis Wu Cheng are both the pillars of Jiangdong, and the Dudu will marry a wife today. If Wu Chenghou is not a guest in Shu County, Jiang Xiajun Where does the free card in the game come from?"

The news of the feud between Li Mu and Zhou Yu was already known to the whole world, and he thought so at first.It wasn't until this time that Zhou Yu married a wife and Sun's married a daughter. The two major events came together, but the Jiangdong Army issued a no-war card, and he didn't see any clues.

If Li Mu and Zhou Yu were really at odds, in the Battle of Chibi, when Li Mu took command and Zhou Yu played, it would be the time when their competition for military exploits would be fiercest.However, Li Mu didn't take advantage of Zhou Yu's marriage and Cao Liu's relaxation of vigilance to personally lead the army to attack Jingxiang and Jiangling.

If it's because her own sister got married... Sun Zhi married Zhao Yun, her general, wouldn't it be a matter of her asking for a fixed period?Why do we have to catch up with this period?

Although he still couldn't figure out why Sun Zhi's marriage was at the same time as Zhou Yu's marriage, when Cao Cao was about to send an envoy to Wu County to congratulate Li Mu, Yang Xiu boldly guessed that Li Mu was now in Shu County.

"Master Yang is joking," Zhou Yu said without moving his eyebrows, his voice was slightly cold, "Marquis Wu Cheng is Marquis Wu's uncle, how dare you bother her to travel far away with Yu's affairs."

Yang Xiu was helpless, knowing that he would definitely not see Li Mu today, he pondered for a moment, and had to change his words: "Prime Minister Cao wants to invite the emperor to make Marquis Wucheng the shepherd of Jingzhou and lead the seven counties of Jingzhou." , and at the same time divided Xiangyang into a county and garrisoned in Fancheng. Today Xiu was ordered by the Prime Minister to convey this intention to Marquis Wucheng. I wonder if Zhou Dudu will respond?"

The appointment of Li Mu as the shepherd of Jingzhou is tantamount to acknowledging Jiangdong's occupation of Jingzhou.However, there are only seven counties in Jingzhou, and Cao Cao wants to separate Xiangyang from Nanjun as an independent county. That is to say, Cao Jun withdraws from Jiangling. Give in and stop fighting.

The matter is very important. If Li Mu is in Shu County, Zhou Yu will naturally have to discuss with her before making a decision.And as long as Zhou Yu can't make a decision immediately, it will naturally mean that Li Mu's statement that he is now in Wu County is completely nonsense.

Yang Xiu couldn't help being a little proud of being able to pose a problem to Zhou Gongjin, who is famous all over the world.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu smiled brightly: "Prime Minister Cao wants to concentrate his troops to quell the chaos, I can understand that. But he seems to have forgotten that besides Nanjun and Jiangling, Wuling County is in Liu Bei's hands in the seven counties of Jingzhou. If my uncle seized the city, wouldn't he be accused of being unfilial and unrighteous?"

Yang Xiu's face changed suddenly, and he was about to speak, but Zhou Yu waved his hand again, "Today Yu only waits for congratulatory guests, the beauty of marrying a wife, not business affairs, if Master Yang comes to send congratulations, he will be a guest on Yu's seat, but if Come to discuss the ownership of Jingzhou, the military war is over, we can only pass tonight, you and I will talk in detail slowly."

Xiangyang is the state capital of Jingzhou. The city is strong and has a specific symbolic meaning.Without this important city, Nanjun is undoubtedly much lighter compared to the land of Jiangling.Now Cao Cao is eager to mobilize troops to quell the chaos. If he doesn't procrastinate at this time, Zhou Yu has been in charge of military affairs for so many years in vain.

This delay lasted for a full ten days.

Yang Xiu thought that it would be difficult for Li Muding to refuse Cao Cao's concession. After all, Jiangdong Sun Quan was only young enough to be in charge of a state at such a young age. Being in a high position was undoubtedly a great temptation.But it never occurred to Li Mu that he lacked interest in this kind of job where there are so many things to do and where he has to work overtime almost every day.

What's more, the newlywed Yan Er, she has to follow Zhou Yu to pay respects to her ancestors, to meet the female family members of his clan, and to be busy with other things that a legal couple should do.

But just after ten days, she met another messenger.

Liu Zhangyuan in Yizhou and Liu Biao had a tacit understanding that the well water did not interfere with the river water.But Jingzhou suddenly broke out, followed by wars, Cao Cao went south, and Chibi was on fire. Before he had any idea how to deal with it, the land adjacent to him for many years had been divided up.

Immersed in stability and prosperity for many years, Liu Zhang, who has not seen war for a long time, can't help but feel a little panic.He was afraid that after Cao Cao retreated, he would join Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and go south from Yizhou, and he was also afraid that the Jiangdong army would become powerful and attack Yizhou with victory.

He didn't think about Liu Bei, but it was because of the Battle of Dangyang, Liu Bei was beaten and maimed by Cao Cao, and it would take years, at least, for him to recover his strength. Even Liu Zhang could see that Cao Cao and Li Mu were at this point. The attitudes of the leaders are surprisingly consistent-Liu Bei is used to suppress!

The civil servants and military generals in Yizhou have been arguing since Cao Cao's army came to Jingzhou. Until now, Cao Cao's retreat, whether to fight against Cao or unite with Cao, has not yet reached a result.

Therefore, after Liu Zhang received the news of Jiangdong's wedding, he decided to send someone to find out the truth.But he sent people directly to Wu County, and they went around Wu County, but they caught up with Sun Zhi's wedding ceremony and met Wu Lord Sun Shao.

If you come to Shu County again, you will naturally miss the scene between Zhou Yu and Li Mu.

But this person caused Li Mu to immediately end his ten-day marriage leave.

The law is upright, the law is filial and straight.

Fazheng didn't see Li Mu in Wu County, but he saw him in Shu County. Whether the rumors about Li Mu's feud with Zhou Yu were true or not, there was no need to ask, he already knew it well.Although Sun Shao was young, he had the calm demeanor of a high-ranking person, and obviously he did not disappoint the painstaking efforts of these two people.So what kind of prospects Jiangdong will have in the future is also very clear to him.

On the other hand, Liu Zhang sent Fazheng to Wu County to congratulate him, but did not let him come to Shu County again.The coming of Fazheng is enough in itself to explain some matters that are inconvenient to say.

So, the three of them kept the door closed and talked with each other for a whole day, until at dusk, Zhou Yu personally sent Fazheng out, and asked Gan Ning, who had just returned from Wuling, to send troops to escort him all the way back to Yizhou to return to his command.

In the end, Li Mu still didn't see Yang Xiu. After Zhou Yu sent the noble scribe from the Zanying family back, the two set off for Jiangxia.

Back and forth, plus ten days of marriage leave, counting, the Jiangdong Army's exemption card has been hung up for a full month, which can be regarded as fulfilling the promise to Liu Bei to stay for one month.On the first day back to Jiangxia, Zhou Yu personally led the army, bypassed Jiangling, went south by the Yangtze River waterway, and went straight to Wuling.

During the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to send troops from the west road, holding back Cao Ren's position and buying time for the Jiangdong Army to completely defeat the main force of Cao Cao's army.In exchange for sending troops, Li Mu promised to distribute Lingling and Guiyang among the three armies in the south of the Yangtze River to him as a reward after the war.

But these two counties are located in the extreme south, the climate is hot and humid, there are many miasma and forests, and the land is vast and sparsely populated.What's more, the local barbarians are cruel by nature, drink blood like hair, and don't know how to farm. How can Liu Bei be willing to go?

But at that time, he was so poor that he had no money to bargain with Li Mu, so he could only agree first, and then stationed troops in Wuling all the time. He wanted to take advantage of the confrontation between Li Mu and Cao Jun to try his best to exploit Wuling's manpower and material resources and recruit troops. As long as he could build another army , Li Mu was worried that Cao Jun had not retreated, so he didn't have the heart to take care of him.

But how could he have imagined that Cao Cao, who was invincible in front of him, was on fire in the backyard at this time, and he had already thought of retreating, and even sent Yang Xiu to Shu County before Zhou Yu's married wife came back.

So Zhou Yu confidently and boldly pointed at Wuling, and it was certain that Cao Jun would not take the opportunity to attack him from behind.

The mighty thousand-stone ship approached Wuling, Liu Bei had no choice but to ask for shelter.

Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, this scene seemed familiar, but it was quite different.Zhou Yu was filled with emotion, but no matter in his dream or now, it was impossible for him to accept this troublesome request.

Even though Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan in front of the army and wanted to talk to him, he only ordered the army to raise the drums, and as soon as the drums stopped, they attacked immediately.

After a while, Liu Bei withdrew from Wuling and retreated to Lingling County with a few [-] soldiers.

Lingling is adjacent to Jiaozhou, and the Shi family headed by Jiaozhi prefect Shi Xie is in charge of the four counties of Jiaozhou, which is very prestigious in the local area.As soon as Liu Bei arrived in Lingling County, Zhuge Liang had a disagreement with Guan Yu.Guan Yu advocated recruiting troops on the spot, and then fought back after Zhou Yu returned to the army and left Wuling.However, Zhuge Liang believed that the confrontation with the Jiangdong Army at this time would undoubtedly hit a stone with an egg. They were not strong enough, and they did not have enough food and grass.Take Jiaozhou first, recruit barbarian soldiers as vanguards, and replenish troops. At the same time, civilize the barbarians, teach them to open up land for fields, raise silkworms and make silk, and use them as army rations.Then look for an opportunity to negotiate an alliance with Jiangdong, and go to Yizhou together, so as to use the strength of Jiangdong Army to seek as much benefit as possible.

One of these two people was an acquaintance of eight obeisances, and the other visited the thatched cottage three times. Liu Bei had a headache for a while.But Zhuge Liang took the lead to back down, saying that civilizing the barbarians can be carried out at the same time as taking back Wuling.

So Guan Yu took advantage of Zhou Yu's return to the army and went north to Wuling, but Zhou Yu was in ambush.It was Zhuge Liang who cut off the Yuanshui River and intercepted the pursuing troops, so that most of the troops were saved and they were able to retreat.Since then, Zhuge Liang's claims have never been refuted in person.

In the face of Liu Bei's brotherly loyalty, he first retreated, and then borrowed his strength, and borrowed Jiangdong's army to make Guan Yu retreat despite difficulties. The situation is actually not easy.But he grasped the proportion of one take and one release so skillfully that Zhou Yu didn't realize that they had been taken advantage of until after Zhou Yu returned to the camp.
