Volume 3 Chapter 221 Fish-flavored Shredded Pork (2)

Thinking of his own wife who came back this time but couldn't see him, Sun Shangxiang lowered her head gloomily. After only being gloomy for www.biquge.info a while, Sun Shangxiang raised his head and looked at Zhou Yu, because these topics seemed to have nothing to do with Zhou Yu's purpose of coming here. Zhou Yu understood what Sun Shangxiang meant, sighed and explained: "Although the Mother of the Nation summoned me to the meeting for idle talk, the purpose was to ask me what the relationship between Jiangdong and Yizhou was. Isn't it clear that the mother of the country is still indistinguishable between public affairs and private affairs? If she can take care of her personal feelings without missing her official duties, the mother of the country will be truly happy. ”

Sun Shangxiang asked anxiously, "What do you think of that middle brother?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "As far as business is concerned, I don't approve of Jiangdong and Yizhou as enemies. There are some things that I can't tell you, but there are still some things I can tell you. Let's put it this way, do you know what Kong Ming said to Liu Bei when he was about to leave the house? In this plan, Kong Ming regards my Jiangdong as 'only for help, not for stealing', and I can add this sentence to Wu Yi. Yizhou is the same for me Jiangdong, I can only help, but I can't steal it...... Is Yizhou so easy to mess with today? ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded silently. She has been in Yizhou for so long, and many things are far clearer than Zhou Yu. Regardless of personal feelings, looking at this matter from a rational point of view, Sun Shangxiang does not think that Sun Quan has the ability to swallow Yizhou in one go. If he fails to swallow it in one go, Sun Quan will face endless revenge from Yizhou.

Zhou Yu sighed again: "Shang Xiang, the fact that Wu Hou intends to attack Yizhou is unwise, but now I don't have the ability to completely persuade him. If you made such a fuss a few days ago, I'm afraid that Wu Hou's plan will be completely frustrated, which is actually a good thing. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "If I make such a fuss, will the second brother not use troops in Yizhou?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "It's not that Yizhou has never left troops to defend it, and the sneak attack is a strange word, you make such a big fuss, this strange word has long been gone." Besides, Yizhou will not be here? As soon as the news of Wu Hou's intention to sneak attack on Yizhou was reported, Lu Yizhou was personally seated in Yizhou, and he asked you to go back to Jiangdong this time It was a temptation, so as soon as Wu Hou made any moves, Lu Yizhou would immediately deploy defenses everywhere in Yizhou, so what else did Wu Hou sneak attack! And if the sneak attack fails, if you fight with strength instead...... Wu Hou would not have done such a stupid thing. ”

Sun Shangxiang smiled strangely and said, "I didn't expect me to make such a fuss." As long as Wu Yi can't afford to fight with swords, my wish has been fulfilled, and he has no regrets. ”

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang, shook his head and said, "No, I don't think the matter is over here." ”

Sun Shangxiang frowned: "What?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Shang Xiang, Wu Yijian's sword soldiers are difficult, but Wu Hou's face has been completely lost. ”

Sun Shangxiang smiled calmly: "I know! Haven't I been waiting here for him to come and get me? I ruined his good deeds, he wants to make me angry, and I have nothing to say...... Who made him my brother? ”

“……”

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang with tears and laughter, and said in his heart that our Jiangdong county lord is really straightforward and cute. After sighing and shaking his head, he said, "Shang Xiang, how stupid you are!" ”

"What's wrong again?"

Zhou Yu said: "If you are held by Wu Hou, Wu Hou can certainly vent his anger, but it will not help the reputation of the Jiangdong Sun family; On the other hand, you are still a hostage in Yizhou, if you can't give Yizhou an explanation when you turn back, won't you be disappointed in Yizhou? Don't forget that if you don't take the hostage, Wu Hou will act with some less scruples. ”

"Uh......"

Sun Shangxiang really didn't expect this kind of thing. After a moment's suddenness, the inquiring eyes turned to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled and raised the teacup again: "Shang Xiang, I have a plan, I don't know if Shang Xiang is interested?" ”

"Brother Zhong, please speak!"

Zhou Yu said: "Lu Yizhou used to fund money, food, and ordnance to help Cao Cao in Chang'an and Liu Bei in Hanzhong defend against foreign races in the Western Regions; Now that the alien races in the north are in full swing, Lu Yizhou has even sent soldiers to directly participate in the war, which has the name of righteousness in the world. And in the name of this righteousness, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, the enemies of life and death, can still temporarily abandon the feud and fight for Wuhu, but our Jiangdong children are still at home and motionless, and even under the idea of other candidates. This matter has reached the mouths of the people of the world, and my Jiangdong children are really about to lose face. ”

Sun Shangxiang sighed helplessly: "Yes, but my second brother ...... Forget it, don't mention him! ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Shang Xiang, if Wu Hou doesn't do it, can't we do it for him?" ”

"Huh!?" Sun Shangxiang was stunned at that time.

Zhou Yu said: "I was so troubled by you a few days ago, most of the children of Jiangdong already know the troubles in the north, and your grandson Shangxiang's name is also known to Jiangdong. If you raise the banner of righteousness and summon the children of Jiangdong to go to the north to help in the war, I believe that the recruits will gather like rain. ”

Sun Shangxiang hesitated: "Brother Zhong's meaning, is Shangxiang going to gather the children of Jiangdong in his own name?" It's just that the matter of recruiting soldiers and buying horses requires a lot of money and food, and Shang Xiang was alone when he returned to Wu, and he didn't bring anything soft, and he made such a situation with the second brother, can he still expect the second brother to provide money and food to recruit troops and buy horses? In his opinion, I'm afraid he will think that I am messing around! ”

Zhou Yu smiled again: "You don't, I have." ”

Sun Shangxiang was taken aback: "Brother Zhong, you? But, but ......."

Zhou Yu smiled again: "Don't be." You go to the Lu clan of Wu County for a few days first, and leave the rest to me. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

"Gongjin, what did you say? Do you want to recruit soldiers and go to Liaozhou to help in the war? ”

Sun Shangxiang was taken aback when he heard Zhou Yu's words, and how could Sun Quan not be like this at this moment? For Zhou Yu, Sun Quan is estranged to a certain extent, but it does not mean that Sun Quan will unload and kill the donkey for Zhou Yu. To be precise, Sun Quan wanted to restrict and restrain Zhou Yu, and the ultimate goal was to have a high degree of control, but he definitely didn't want to get rid of Zhou Yu.

Talents are rare, and Zhou Yu is one of the top talents in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty, and with the relationship between Zhou Yu and the Sun Group, where is Sun Quan willing to get rid of Zhou Yu? Don't talk about Lu Xun in history here, Sun Quan killed Lu Xun, a big reason is that Sun Quan wants to rectify the wealthy families in Jiangdong.

And at that time, Sun Quan had already entered his old age of "late festival", and he was no longer as bright and young as when he was young, but Sun Quan was not yet forty years old at this time, and it should be said that he was at his peak. At this time, where would Sun Quan indiscriminately attack the pillars of his family?

Don't talk about the extra words, anyway, when Sun Quan heard Zhou Yu's words, he was really shocked and jumped up from his seat: "Why is Gongjin like this?" Not to mention anything else, how should Jingzhou be treated? ”

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Su with a smile, and Lu Su shook his head at Zhou Yu helplessly. By the way, Lu Su was supposed to die of illness a few years ago, but because the relationship between Jiangdong and Yizhou has been good in recent years, Lu Su rushed to Yizhou after falling ill, and then the disease was cured. In fact, Lu Su's illness is not a serious illness in modern times, it is basically just a typhoid infection, and with the current medical level in Yizhou, it is indeed not very difficult to cure.

Don't go far, it's not unreasonable for Zhou Yu to look at Lu Su. In fact, Zhou Yu is a handsome talent, and he is good at commanding troops to fight, while Lu Su is a strategic talent, so Zhou Yu first discussed with Lu Su before coming to see Sun Quan.

Seeing Lu Su sigh again, he immediately said to Sun Quan: "The matter of Jingzhou, the lord can rest assured. In fact, Zhuge Liang is sitting in Jingzhou, and it is not easy for the lord to plot against Jingzhou, and the most important thing is that with the current situation in the world, if the lord still has the kind of intention to take the opportunity to expand the territory, it will inevitably provoke the scolding of the people of the world, which is not conducive to the reputation of the lord. Of course, those who want to dominate the world, these false names can be ignored, but now that the Cao and Liu families are working together to resist the alien races in the Western Regions and the northern nomads, if the lord does anything to any of the Cao and Liu families at this time, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble to the lord in the future. ”

Lu Su's words made Sun Quan nod helplessly.

What Lu Su said next was a bit euphemistic, which probably meant that at this time, Zhou Yu was temporarily transferred from Chaisang and Lu Su was transferred over, which could greatly ease the diplomatic relations between the Sun and Liu families, and at the same time maintain the Sun-Liu alliance, it could also warn Cao Wei. This is Lu Ren's absence, if Lu Ren is there and hears these words, Lu Ren will also say that this is a good move on Sun Quan's side. Because Zhou Yu is the "Liu Swallowing faction", and Lu Su is the "Lianliu faction", if Zhou Yu is on Chaisang's side, then the relationship between Sun Quan and Liu Bei will be very tense, but if Lu Su is released there, with Lu Su's firm Lianliu strategy, the diplomatic relations between Sun Quan and Liu Bei will be much better.

But these explanations alone obviously did not satisfy Sun Quan, and the last thing Sun Quan understood now was why Zhou Yu said that he wanted to recruit soldiers to Liaozhou...... To be precise, he went to Liaoxi to help in the war. And at this time, it was Zhou Yu's turn to explain in person:

"Don't be too careful, Yu is not half-hearted. In fact, a few days ago, the county lord made a big fuss about Jianye, and the lord's intention to attack Yizhou was already unattainable, and the county lord would return to Jiangdong like this, obviously Lu Ren was also guarding against the lord, so Yu believed that although Lu Ren sent half of his troops north to Liaozhou, he was also prepared to deal with the lord in his own territory, so why should the lord be a villain in vain?

"Fortunately, although the county lord said a few days ago that the lord had the intention of sneaking up on Yizhou, he did not make any troop transfers here in the lord, so the lord could pass on the message to the states and counties, saying that the lord did not actually want to use troops against Yizhou, but saw that the Han Dynasty now has a foreign enemy, so he wants to recruit soldiers who are willing to go to the north to participate in the war to go to the country together. In this way, the face of the lord ......"

Zhou Yu didn't say much at this point, because it was better not to say too clearly about certain topics. And Sun Quan also understood what Zhou Yu meant, it was nothing more than to find a way to get back the face he had lost before when he had no hope of fighting Yizhou. As for some of the black cauldrons that were produced at that time...... Let Sun Shangxiang carry it.

After hesitating here, Zhou Yu added: "Lord Mingjian, this time the matter is indeed a bit bigger, if the generals sent by the Lord are not enough, I am afraid that there will be no convincing power to the world." Yu is not talented, and it is still a bit of a false name, so Yu thinks that Yu will lead the troops to attack, which should be reasonable. ”

Sun Quan is a little out of temper this time. As a smart person, although Zhou Yu and Lu Su's words were not very thorough, this did not prevent Sun Quan from fully understanding the meaning of these two words. In fact, to put it simply, there is just one sentence, that is, according to the current situation, Jiangdong can't get actual benefits, so he can only save face. It's just that when he thinks of dispatching a big-name figure like Zhou Yu, Sun Quan always feels that there is no need for that.

Zhou Yu looked at the situation, and once again added to Sun Quan: "The lord must not think that Yu is here to help others. In fact, the lord should have imagined that Yu's participation in the war this time, in addition to earning back some face for my Jiangdong, will also try to bring back some of the things that the lord wants. ”

Sun Quan raised his eyebrows at that time: "Is Gongjin's words true? ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "If I Jiangdong doesn't move, just hold my troops, of course Lu Ren has to guard against us." But if we also send soldiers and horses to the war, if Lu Ren doesn't take out some things, it means that he can't say it. Some faces can't be lost, can he, Lu Ren, afford to lose them? ”

Sun Quan got up and left the table, went back and forth in the hall for a while, and finally nodded: "In this case, Gongjin, you can act cheaply." As for the recruitment of soldiers...... Lonely does it for you! ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Burst......

In the herdsman's mansion in Mangjia, Yizhou, Lu Ren just glanced at the telegram that had just been sent back from Jiangdong and sprayed the tea he drank into his mouth, so much so that Chen Yiyi, who was standing in front of Lu Ren's table, almost couldn't dodge, and was almost sprayed by Lu Ren.

Lu Ren choked on this sip of tea and coughed violently, and at the same time waved his hand to Chen Yiyi again and again to apologize. Finally stopping the violent cough, Lu Ren hurriedly pointed to the intelligence book in his hand and asked Chen Yiyi, "When did you receive this telegram?" ”

Chen Yiyi said: "Last night. ”

Lu Ren glanced at it a few more times, and the expression on his face changed again and again with the description in the intelligence: "After robbing the Wu lord Sun Quan to the downtown of the street, he retreated from Jianye...... Sun Shangxiang, is this going against the sky? Even if it's not against the sky, he's bold and bold. ”

In fact, Lu Ren received this telegram a few days after Sun Shangxiang made a big fuss about Jianye, because there were some problems with the intelligence station set up in Jianye at that time, so it was only at this time that the news was sent. However, it was precisely because it was so late that Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu to recruit soldiers and prepare to go to Liaoxi with Sun Shangxiang to help in the war. And such a news made Lu Ren fall into contemplation......
