Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

To be honest, Li Mu didn't want to take care of this nonsense at all.Not to mention that Gan Ning will join the Sun family sooner or later, sooner or later he will be his own, from what he said just now, this so-called looting is actually a personal grudge between him and the Cai family of Jingzhou, why should she care about it?

It's just that how to say these words beautifully, for a while, she was a little embarrassed.

The hand held by Zhou Yu suddenly loosened, but it was Zhou Yu who was the first to free his hand to pay back Quan to Gan Ning before he saluted: "I have heard that General Gan is a hero, may I have a word?"

Gan Ning thought that he still wanted to intervene in this matter, and couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Because it was a personal grievance, he was even more able to directly catch Cai's smuggling military slaves without leaking the news. He only brought [-] men who had been with him all along during this trip, and he did not use a single soldier from Jingzhou.If he were to fight against the [-] elites led by Zhou Yu immediately, although he would not be afraid, but in this way, it would be very difficult for him to have another chance to take advantage of the Cai family.

Li Mu frowned, but Zhou Yu smiled slightly, with a confident and indifferent look: "General Gan, have you ever thought that the crime of smuggling military slaves can be big or small, and how to investigate and convict it all depends on Liu Biao's intentions." .As long as he still has scruples and reliance on the Cai family in Jingzhou, this matter to him is just Cai Mao's greed for small profits, or a few words of reprimand, or a small fine, is this the result General Gan wants?"

Gan Ning was originally a very shrewd person, but he was used to fighting against the Cai family under Liu Biao, and the authorities were obsessed with it, so he only thought about getting the stolen goods and not thinking about it.Reminded by Zhou Yu, he immediately came to his senses.

Liu Biao married Cai Mao's sister as his second wife, and had a close relationship with the Cai family since he first entered Jingzhou.At the beginning, he was able to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou alone, and he could not do without the full support of the Cai clan, so why would he severely punish Cai Mao for the mere [-] military slaves?

He led people to intercept him this time, and he was afraid that he would bite back and lead private soldiers to rob!

But let's forget it... How can I bear this tone?

Li Mu frowned and thought carefully, Zhou Yu suddenly turned the conversation to Liu Biao, she vaguely guessed that he was planning to use the conflict between Gan Ning and Cai Mao to stir up the situation in Jingzhou.After all, Sun Ce's father died in the First Battle of Jingzhou, and the Sun and Liu families can be described as feuds. Their destination, Xunyang, is also in front of Jiangxia County, the gateway of Jingzhou. In history, Jiangdong's competition for Jingzhou is also vigorous and has never stopped. .

But according to what the young man said, Gan Ning is not to be reused by Liu Biao, and Cai Mao is a person from Jingzhou who even has an impression on her. She knows Gan Ning's ability, so she can think of using this contradiction to attract Gan Ning, Zhou Yu obviously had other plans.

Gan Ning showed an angry face, he threw the bow and took the two halberds in his hands: "According to what you said, I can't do anything with Cai Mao?"

"No." Zhou Yu also threw his bow, but didn't take another weapon. He just took a step forward slowly, turned sideways to block Li Mu behind him calmly, and nodded to the young man, "If it wasn't for General Gan To be clear, this young man may not even know that his master is selling military slaves to the Cai family. It can be seen that this matter must be extremely secret. No matter how General Gan knows, he only needs to stop the military slaves from me. When the news gets back, even though Liu Biao does not blame Cai Mao on the surface, he will definitely start to weaken Cai's power immediately."

"Why?"

Gan Ning and the young man asked in unison, and Gan Ning had just asked a word, and immediately sensed the key point in his words, and asked again, "Who is your Excellency?"

"Zhou Yu from Lujiang."

Just four simple words, but Gan Ning's heart trembled, his eyes froze, and he immediately understood the meaning of what he said before.

Liu Biao was suspicious and indecisive by nature. When he robbed Cai's military slaves, he happened to meet Jiangdong Zhou Yu, which made him suspect that it was almost logical that Cai and Sun Ce had contact.But he and Sun Ce had a feud against killing his father, and Cai's contact with Sun Ce, for him, whether it was out of immediate interests or to leave a way out for the future, was enough for him to feel guarded and jealous of Cai Mao.

"You are Zhou Gongjin?" Gan Ning thought suddenly, but the young man exclaimed softly. Before Zhou Yu could answer, his eyes fell on Li Mu, and he seemed to be shining brightly, "Then you are Sun Quan? You Are you really shooting at the Chinese army tent four hundred paces away from the head of Xiapi city?"

Li Mu was gleefully watching Zhou Yu dig holes for Liu Biao, when the topic suddenly turned to her, he couldn't help being taken aback.

It was Zhou Yu who shot down Jinfan beautifully with an arrow, and Zhou Yu was the one who spoke chicly and unrestrainedly. From the beginning to the end, she didn't say a word, and looking at the boy's eyes, it seemed that she was more interested in her than Zhou Yu. focus on.

Gan Ning seemed to have noticed this handsome young man who had been standing beside Zhou Yu all the time when he called him, and looked over with him, his eyes lit up, but what he asked was: "Are you Sun Quan? That elder brother, Sun Ce, and Uncle Sun?" Where is the symbol?"

When things come to an end, there is nowhere to hide.

Li Mu sighed secretly behind Zhou Yu, and walked out with several eyes from far and near, first saluted the young man, then nodded, he recognized Sun Quan's identity, and then bowed his hands to Gan Ning. Politely: "My brother is still in Xiapi. If General Gan seeks him out to compete with him, Gong Jin can go down on his behalf. And if he wants to fight side by side with him, Quan can go down on his brother's behalf."

Gan Ning was startled when he heard the words, but saw Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows behind her, the corners of his lips raised, and his smile was like a spring breeze blowing on his face: "Mr. Quan forgot, Yu just competed with General Gan in arrow skills."

Gan Ning has been attached to Liu Biao for two years, but he has never been reused, and his proposals have never been taken seriously.He was also at odds with the Cai family who was known as the No. [-] family in Jingzhou, so he was depressed and frustrated.He heard that Sun Ce broke away from Yuan Shu, crossed the river, and within a few years had acquired the three counties of Wujun, Danyang and Kuaiji.

However, Jingzhou is far away from Wu, and Liu Biao and Sun Ce have a sworn feud. If he goes there rashly, Liu Biao will be suspicious, and his status as a general under Liu Biao may not be able to meet Sun Ce either. .

So now that he met Zhou Yu's army in Lujiang, his first reaction was to ask where Sun Ce was.

As for joining Sun Ce...it's not like he hasn't thought about it.Sun Ce was young and ambitious, and recruited heroes widely, while Liu Biao talked and did nothing, and only knew how to appoint the children of several big families in Jingzhou.

However, Liu Biao did not feel sorry for him.Even if he really wanted to join Sun Ce, he should go back and ask Liu Biao to resign in person.

But what this young man said...was really interesting. He was going to compete with Sun Ce. Sun Ce was not here, so Zhou Yu responded on his behalf. It was normal.And if Gan Ning wants to vote for Sun Ce, how can others decide what to do?How can he vote without seeing what kind of character Sun Ce is?

Gan Ning said that he would go back to ask for his resignation first, and then visit Sun Ce, and turned his eyes around Li Mu.

Li Mu frowned, Gan Ning wanted to go back, she couldn't stop her, neither could Zhou Yu.It's just that Cai Mao lost these two hundred military slaves, so he will definitely not let it go.At this time, he went back to bid farewell to Liu Biao, maybe Cai Mao would bite him back and label him as a defector.

After pondering for a moment, she could only think of a middle way, pointing to the three boats, and then glanced at the young man standing at the bow looking at him endlessly: "Then I will trouble General Gan to send all these people back together. Those who have to do business with the Cai family should have some status in Jingzhou. The general escorted him, and the responsibility of looting can be offset. As for this young man, it is better to stay in our army for a few days. About Cai Mao contacting me."

The words of blood spattering five steps will naturally not come true.

The boy claimed that his surname was Huang and his first name was Yun, and he was a branch of the Huang family in Jingzhou.This time, I traveled with my family's barter ship, but because I was on the main ship all the time, I didn't know that the "goods" this time were actually military slaves.

Li Mu didn't intend to delve into this obvious fabrication, but just stopped Zhou Yu when he was about to arrange guards after he arrived in Xunyang.

"Jiangxia County is in Xiling County, and it is only three hundred miles away from Xunyang by the Yangtze River Waterway. It only takes one night to reach Xunyang when the wind is down, so there are heavy troops guarding along the river. In addition to the [-] garrisons in Xiling, Jichun has more More than [-] soldiers and horses were stationed. Huang Zu had been stationed in Jiangxia for many years, and he had been fighting secretly with Liu Biao's most important brothers, Cai Hao and Kuai's brothers. Is it normal for a transaction, no matter whether he knew in advance that it was a smuggling of military slaves?"

Zhou Yu only thought that she couldn't bear the young man who had been robbed by Gan Ning for no reason to be detained by him again, so he waved his hand to signal the soldiers to pass on the order first, and explained a few words about the garrison arrangement to several military marquises accompanying the army, and decided to go with Li Let's go into the house together.

Xunyang is a military city where Liu Xun stationed his troops. Except for the families of soldiers in the army, ordinary people have been relocated to several nearby counties.Zhou Yu didn't move Liu Xun's residence after he broke the city, but only set aside a row of houses closest to the northern barracks for military discussions and ordering.

Li Mu followed him in, looking around.Finding that there was only one case and one table in the room, and a bamboo mat, knowing that this was Zhou Yu's own place, and there was another place to meet guests, he couldn't help smiling lightly, pulled the bamboo raft and sat on half of it, reached out and patted the other half .

The censer on the desk was cold, the bamboo scroll was half-unfolded, and there were still ink marks on the end of the pen, but it had already solidified into finely divided ink beads that glued the brush into a ball. It was obvious that Zhou Yu left in a hurry.

While talking, Zhou Yu put away the bamboo slips and pens, and lit the incense burner again. Slowly, light smoke came out from the hollow body of the Boshan furnace, which was transpired, and a wisp of grass and wood fragrance also curled up.
