(Fish refers to Zhou Yu's yoga!) ）

Anyway, why is Zhou Yu in Jianye at this time?

This is actually a bit nonsense, Sun Quan has some thoughts about Yizhou at this time, but where is Yizhou's idea so easy to fight today? And Zhou Yu, as the first person in the military field under Sun Quan, of course called Zhou Yu back to ask about this kind of big move. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's also a coincidence that Zhou Yu received Sun Quan's letter and rushed over after arranging the affairs of Chaisang's side, because he didn't want to attract anyone's attention, so he chose to enter the city in casual clothes, and as a result, he happened to meet Zhuge Jin who was rushing to Sun Quan, and then he hid in the crowd to see what Sun Shangxiang would do. And what Sun Shangxiang said at that time, in addition to making Zhou Yu sigh why Sun Shangxiang is not a man, did have a great impact on Zhou Yu......

――――――――――――――――――――

A few days later, Fuchun, Wu County, Jiangdong, the ancestral tomb of the Sun family.

The Sun family has lived in Fuchun, Wu County for generations, and there is their ancestral tomb shrine here in Fuchun County. By the time Sun Ce swept Jiangdong and became the overlord of Jiangdong, the clan cemetery naturally had to be renovated on a large scale.

(PS, the bottle didn't know where Sun's cemetery was, and after flipping through the book for a long time, he only found a sentence in "The Book of Wu and the Biography of the Concubines" that Wu Guotai was "buried together in Gaoling".) As for whether this "Gaoling" is the name of the region or the name of the cemetery, it is really unclear. Here, according to the habits of the Chinese people, the Sun clan's clan cemetery was installed in Fuchun County. ）

The morning breeze is slightly cold, but there is a quiet and gentle flute music fluttering gently in the cemetery with this cold morning breeze. Looking for prestige again, it was Sun Shangxiang, dressed in plain white clothes, who was quietly kneeling in front of the mausoleum of Sun Jian and his wife, playing the bamboo flute.

At the end of a long time, Sun Shangxiang had not put down the bamboo flute in his hand, and a voice that Sun Shangxiang was quite familiar with behind him: "I knew that Shang Xiang would definitely come here to pay respects when you returned to Wu, but I didn't expect that Shang Xiang, who only liked to dance swords and bows, would be so outstanding today's flute skills." Knowing this, I should have come with the piano and play a song with Shang Xiang in front of Brother Bo Fu's tomb, so as to teach Bo Fu to know how extraordinary the wild girl who was messing around all day at the beginning is already in the world today. ”

Sun Shangxiang turned around when he heard this, and at a glance he saw the man standing not far from him. It's just that at this glance, Sun Shangxiang really looked at the old man for a long time before he was a little uncertain and tentative: "Zhong, Brother Zhong? ”

The man who spoke was none other than Zhou Yu. But it's no wonder that Sun Shangxiang is so uncertain, you must know that Zhou Yu more than ten years ago was a well-known Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang, how handsome and majestic his appearance and temperament are, just a plain smile can make the girls in Jiangdong fall for it, but now Zhou Yu in front of Sun Shangxiang's eyes...... The majestic and upright posture at the beginning is now a little bloated; The vigor of the period of the Battle of Chibi has also been replaced by a harmless amiability of humans and animals. Zhou Yu in this way is inevitably too far away from the Zhou Yu in Sun Shangxiang's memory.

By the way, it must be made clear here that Zhou Yu was thirty-four years old when he fought the Battle of Chibi, and he was supposed to die of illness two years later, but later because he was accidentally treated in Yizhou, so he survived. Then in the twenty-five years of Jian'an, Zhou Yu is already forty-six years old. And when a man reaches this age, it is normal for his body to be a little out of shape, and his temper is easy to change.

Then in the past ten years, Zhou Yu has been guarding Chaisang's side, and Sun Shangxiang went to Yizhou and then transferred to Wadao, although he will go back to Jiangdong every year during the Chinese New Year, but basically he can't meet Zhou Yu. After a long time, coupled with some changes in Zhou Yu's body, it is no wonder that Sun Shangxiang was a little afraid to confirm it for a while.

Sun Shangxiang was still flustered there, but Zhou Yu here was also stunned by Sun Shangxiang's "Brother Zhong", and secretly thought to himself: "Brother Zhong? How many years have I not heard this call called? ”

After the two of them were stunned for a moment, Sun Shangxiang was finally able to confirm that the middle-aged man in front of him was indeed Zhou Yu, and then said in a sigh: "Brother Zhong, why are you here?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled, and first went to salute the tombs of Sun Jian and Sun Ce before turning back to Sun Shangxiang and said, "How am I, Shangxiang, you don't need to ask." It's Shangxiang you, who have done a great job in Jianye City! ”

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang said silently: "Brother Zhong, are you also planning to attack Yizhou?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't answer immediately, but glanced around before saying, "Shang Xiang, this is not the place to talk...... Let's go, I know there's a nice liquor store nearby. I haven't seen you in years, and now I'd love to have a few drinks with you. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

A few moments later, in the side compartment of a certain Taoist wine shop, Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu sat opposite the table. What surprised Sun Shangxiang a little was that Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao was also there, and even brought dozens of family guards with Zhou Yu to protect her.

To be honest, this is Sun Shangxiang's scheming is not deep, and he is still a little simple, and he can't see Zhou Yu's intention of bringing so many guards by his side, and he thought that Zhou Yu was taking Xiao Qiao out to play, so he naturally wanted to bring more people to protect him. If this is a shrewd person like Lu Ren, I am afraid that at a glance, it will be seen that Zhou Yu bringing more people to protect Xiao Qiao is just an excuse, and the real purpose is actually to protect Sun Shangxiang. Because what Sun Shangxiang has to guard against now is not actually a mountain grass coward, but someone sent by Sun Quan or Mingli or secretly.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's guards were distributed around the pavilion, and Xiao Qiao was sitting under a tree a little far from the pavilion, fiddling with tea sets or something, preparing refreshments for the two. Sun Shangxiang is simple, but not stupid, as soon as he saw Zhou Yu's arrangement, he knew that Zhou Yu had something to say, so he sat there quietly and sipped tea, just waiting for Zhou Yu to speak.

After a while, Zhou Yu slowly took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, and then said unhurriedly: "Shang Xiang, I remember that although you were also quite fond of music and rhythm, you didn't know any musical equipment, so when did your flute skills become so outstanding?" ”

Sun Shangxiang shook his head and smiled: "Perhaps, this is the so-called upward and downward effect, right?" Yizhou lives a rich life, and Lu Yizhou and Cai Wenji are both music and rhythm masters in the world, so in Yizhou, everyone likes to have fun in their leisure time. In contrast, this bamboo flute is easy to carry, the price is quite cheap, and Lu Yizhou is known for its flute, so it is very popular in Yizhou flute music. Shang Xiangjiu naturally learned a lot in Yizhou, and he often had fun with his sisters to entertain himself. ”

Zhou Yu put down the teacup: "In the blink of an eye, how many years have you been hostage in Yizhou?" ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "In the fourteenth year of Jian'an, the war of Wuyi broke out, first Lu Ziming attacked Quanzhou, and then the battle of the East China Sea of Wu County. The following year, I officially went to Yizhou as a hostage to rest the two swordsmen. It's been a full decade now. ”

Zhou Yu sighed lightly: "It's been ten years...... At that time, you were only a twenty-year-old girl, but now you are almost thirty years old. As for me......"

Saying that, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to pat his slightly round belly, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Look, I have grown so much fat in the past ten years!" Alas, I am what I call middle-aged fortune. ”

Zhou Yu was thirty-six years old when he was fifteen years old, and ten years later he was forty-six or seven, and he was really middle-aged. When Sun Shangxiang looked at Zhou Yu's appearance, he couldn't help but laugh. However, after laughing, Sun Shangxiang's eyes swept over Xiao Qiao, who was still making tea over there, and his face immediately turned correct: "Brother Zhong, it seems that you didn't come here just to talk to Shang Xiang about these old things, right?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and then his face was also correct: "It's still the same sentence, Shang Xiang, you have done a great job in Jianye City!" I don't even know what to say about you right now...... But I'm just curious to ask you now, what is it that makes you do this? ”

Sun Shangxiang responded very calmly: "I actually made it very clear that day. Shang Xiang doesn't want to make all the candidates and families in the world look down on me because of the treachery of the second brother; I don't want to make the world look down on us Jiangdong children because of this matter. In addition, Shang Xiangzhi is really a little selfish...... On one side are my clan relatives, and on the other side are my best friends, Shang Xiang really doesn't want his relatives and friends to become enemies. I'm caught in the middle, which way should I go? ”

Zhou Yu bowed his head lightly: "I haven't seen each other for ten years, and Shang Xiang is as straightforward as ever, and there is no half-point of falsehood." It seems that you have been hostage for ten years, but it is really as the rumors say, Lu Yizhou and they have never felt sorry for you. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "He regarded me as a relative and friend, not only did he never leave difficulties, but he treated me with sincerity everywhere. Brother Zhong, are you here to tell me, should we repay such sincere friends with sincerity? ”

Zhou Yu sensed the smell of gunpowder in Sun Shangxiang's words, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Shangxiang, don't misunderstand, I'm definitely not here to blame you." It is true that as an important minister of Jiangdong, I should put the interests of Jiangdong first in everything, and I can't be as emotional as you, but it is precisely because of the word 'profit' that I do not agree with Wu Hou and Yizhou as an enemy. ”

Sun Shangxiang was stunned, because he mistakenly thought that Zhou Yu was helping Sun Quan to scold him, and the anger that had just surged up also dissipated without a trace at this moment. No matter what, Sun Shangxiang still knows Zhou Yu well, if Zhou Yu comes up and says that he doesn't approve of Sun Quan, then Sun Shangxiang will not only not believe Zhou Yu, but even suspect that Zhou Yu is playing some tricks. However, Zhou Yu clearly said the benefits of Jiangdong, but Sun Shangxiang knew that Zhou Yu was telling the truth at this moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Shangxiang said in confusion: "Brother Zhong, since you don't agree with the second brother's invasion of Yizhou, why don't you advise him on the temple?" I still remember when I met him that day, he had already made up his mind to attack Yizhou. If you had advised him, he should not have been so carried away. ”

Zhou Yu sighed, and then said with a wry smile: "Shangxiang, you misunderstood me!" On the day you made a big fuss about Jianye, I had just returned to Jianye from Chaisang, and I hadn't had time to see Wu Hou yet. Also......"

At this point, Zhou Yu's face also had a bit of bitterness. After being silent for a while, Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed softly: "Shang Xiang, it's not that Brother Zhong looks down on you, but that you, as a woman, have been in Yizhou for a long time, so you don't know a lot about Jiangdong's affairs. Let me tell you this, although Wu Hou still entrusts me with important responsibilities, his trust in me is not as good as before. And what I put forward, Wu Hou may not be able to listen to much. ”

Sun Shangxiang was stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Why is this happening?" ”

Zhou Yu raised his glass and took a sip, and said very indifferently: "Without him, it's just a heavy soldier in his palm and a high meritorious." ”

Sun Shangxiang still couldn't react at once. But if Lu Ren is here, I'm afraid he will immediately understand what Zhou Yu means by this. And Lu Ren may know a little more than Sun Shangxiang and even Zhou Yu, that is, Sun Quan, who is now thirty-six years old, is likely to have some slight changes in his heart.

To be honest, the relationship between Zhou Yu and the Sun family is indeed quite close, and Sun Quan during the Battle of Chibi did give Zhou Yu complete trust. But people will change, especially when Sun Quan's authority is getting heavier and his scheming is getting deeper, as a monarch, Sun Quan still has some precautions against Zhou Yu. But this can't be blamed on Sun Quan, from ancient times in China to the present, how many monarchs will be wary of someone like Zhou Yu who is a high-ranking and high-ranking master?

Therefore, at this time, Sun Quan had already reduced part of Zhou Yu's military power without moving, and the advice put forward to Zhou Yu was no longer fully adopted. And how smart is Zhou Yu? Where can you not see Sun Quan's intention to play those small actions? But Zhou Yu is loyal to Sun Quan, and he also understands the importance and necessity of Sun Quan's play with these methods, so he is also quietly cooperating with Sun Quan's actions.

Of course, Sun Quan's main intention to suppress Zhou Yu was within a controllable range, and he never wanted to kill Zhou Yu for anything, so Sun Quan gave Zhou Yu corresponding compensation in terms of treatment after playing those small tricks against Zhou Yu. After all, no matter what, there was a Zhou Yu who was on Chai Sang's side and stared at Jingzhou, and Sun Quan was more relieved.

I won't say much about this, just that Sun Shangxiang thought about it for a while and then said angrily: "Why is this happening? Second brother, how could he treat the middle brother like this? Has he forgotten what his eldest brother told him when he was dying? ”

"It's because I can't forget that he did this to me, right?"

Zhou Yu sighed silently in his heart, and the smile on his face looked a little lonely, shaking his head and saying to Sun Shangxiang: "Shangxiang, you are just a woman after all, and you shouldn't know about many things in the temple, and you don't have to know." Again, seeing that you are still as straightforward and honest as you were at the beginning, it makes me understand why the Mother of the Nation occasionally summons me to meet and gossip, and why she feels that sending you to Yi as a hostage is actually the right thing. ”

As soon as he heard Zhou Yu mention Wu Guomu, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Mother...... What did she say? ”

Zhou Yu's eyes locked on Sun Shangxiang, and there was a brother's love for the little sister in his eyes, but also a little deep envy: "The mother of the country once said to me, if you are forced to stay in Jiangdong, no matter how depressed you will be and difficult to smile, I am afraid that it will not be long before you will be like other women of the family, and you will be married to other princes or families to form a marriage alliance...... Shang Xiang, I am not afraid that you will complain about me at this point, if you didn't go to Yi as a hostage at that time, Wu Houke and I both had the intention of marrying you to Liu Bei, and the intention was nothing more than to show Cao Cao the solidity of the Sun-Liu alliance. ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't care about this matter for a long time, just smiled. It was Zhou Yu who smiled apologetically at Sun Shangxiang: "Shangxiang is not strange, besides, you should also know that this in-law alliance has existed since ancient times and has a long history...... However, after you went to the hostage, I slowly figured out one thing, that is, I was simply young and vigorous at that time, and there was no one in my eyes, and there were some things that were in a hurry. Now think about it, why was I inferior to Kong Ming at that time? It is precisely because I have these problems in my body, but Kong Ming does not, and I have already lost to him in terms of heart. If the heart is not as good, what can be done if you are wise? ”

Sun Shangxiang heard it a little foggy: "Brother Zhong, what are you trying to say?" ”

Zhou Yu raised his glass and smiled: "At that time, I underestimated the world. In fact, what if he gave you to marry Liu Bei at that time? Will Zhuge Liang not be wary of my Jiangdong because of this? The open and secret struggle between the two families of Sun and Liu, will you bully Cao Cao because you married Liu Bei? If you really do that, it is not Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao who are bullying, but Wu Hou and I are deceiving ourselves, covering our ears and stealing the bell, and in the end we will just end up laughing at the world. On the other hand, if we can sacrifice even our loved ones at will, won't others be more careless than us when it comes time to let go? ”

"Brother ......"

Sun Shangxiang couldn't help frowning slightly at this time. Sun Shangxiang was originally a bit of a feminist person, and she had been "poisoned" by Lu Ren in Yizhou for many years, so she actually agreed with Zhou Yu's words. It's just that although these words are related to Sun Shangxiang himself, what Sun Shangxiang wants to know now is what his mother has said.

In other words, Zhou Yu has been suppressed for a long time, and suddenly he met someone who could talk to him, and he couldn't hold back the conversation for a while. However, Sun Shangxiang frowned, and Zhou Yu also realized that he didn't know where he was going, so he smiled apologetically at Sun Shangxiang and began to talk back to some topics: "I also talked about these words to the mother of the country when I was talking about them. I remember that after listening to it, the mother of the country did not reprimand me, but just sighed that as the daughter of a wealthy family, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape this fate and destiny. If the person you marry is the same age, the right family, and you can love each other after marriage, it may be fine, but the fight between the Sun and Liu families will never bring you that kind of life. ”

Sun Shangxiang was gloomy when he heard this. This kind of words, Lu Ren also vaguely mentioned them to Sun Shangxiang, so Sun Shangxiang at this moment resonated with these words.

Zhou Yu continued: "Maybe it's because the Mother of the Nation is concerned about this, right? Therefore, the mother of the country will often secretly send people to Yizhou to inquire about your news, every time I hear that you live freely and happily in Yizhou, and even serve as a guest secretary, and even the people of Yizhou counties praise you, the mother of the country will always smile at this, so even if the mother of the country knows that you can return to Jiangdong at any time, even if the mother of the country obviously misses you very much, she has never sent someone to Yizhou to call you back to Jiangdong to talk about your family.

"Because the mother of the country is also afraid, afraid that as soon as you return to Jiangdong, Wu Hou will force you to stay and no longer send you to Yizhou as a hostage. In terms of family affection alone, the mother of the country does not want to miss you for a while, but you will no longer have a smile on your face, and you will become the daughter of marriage and be depressed for the rest of your life. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, why doesn't the mother of the country want you to be as straightforward and lovely as you were at the beginning? ”

"Mother's ......"

is still the same sentence, Sun Shangxiang's biggest regret now is that she couldn't meet her mother when she came back this time. And with her current situation, it is really inconvenient for her to meet her mother......
