Linjiang ferry.

The blue sky and the white sun are shining overhead, and the blue waves are rippling in the face of the river.

On the ferry, Li Li, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, and Zhou Yu, who was well-dressed, stood side by side at the bow of the boat, raising their eyes to look at the Yangtze River.

In the cabin, Lu Su was making tea leisurely without hurrying, and there was a bunch of books beside him, obviously reading while drinking tea, leisurely and leisurely.

On the soft couch in the cabin, the two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, sat on the edge of the bed while watching Li Li write a new song last night, while whispering, laughing crisply from time to time, and the sound was crisp and pleasant, endless.

The only thing that hurts the surface is at the stern. Huan Fei, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, sat on the deck, his face was pale, and he was retching on the bridge from time to time, and then leaned against the edge of the ship to look up at the blue sky and white clouds, his eyes were blank, and his face was painful and sluggish.

Obviously, the land flying tiger Huan flew seasick. Before that, he had vomited so much that his stomach was already empty at the moment, and he had no strength at all, so he could only lie on the deck and gasp, so it was not painful!

In fact, Huan Fei's seasickness is no longer a day or two, but four days.

Five days ago, Li Li and his entourage of six people set off from Qiaofu in Anhui County, and after galloping for a day, they changed to a waterway and traveled along the west of the Jiangxi River the next day. Since the moment he boarded the ship, Huan Fei began to get seasick, and then spent four days in a dizzy state, and now the group has entered the territory of Jingzhou.

Because of this, Li Li and the others have long been accustomed to Huan Fei's seasickness, and they will prepare some gruel for him every half an hour, adding a little bit of body. As for other foods, it was all in vain for him, and he ate and vomited whatever he wanted, so that he had no appetite at all now, and could only drink some gruel to moisten his throat.

Except for Huan Fei, the other five people in the group of six people were not seasick. Along the way, drinking, singing and dancing, the interest is very high, and the fun is very happy.

This is not a rhetoric, but a real thing.

Li Li, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao are all fluent in music and rhythm, among which Zhou Yu, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are people with extremely high attainments in Chinese music and rhythm in this era. And Li Li and Lu Su are dwarfed by them, especially Li Li, who almost knows nothing about the rhythm of the Han Dynasty.

However, it is Li Li, a person who knows nothing about the current music and rhythm. Now it has become a recognized great musician such as Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao. He couldn't play the piano, plucked the pipa, and couldn't read the Eastern Han Dynasty scores, but he had a lot of tunes left in his mind. Moreover, he can make zuò bamboo flutes and dong flutes. The music that was blown out was not inferior to Zhou Yu and others, and even surpassed.

So all the way along. The two daughters of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao always pestered Li Li to blow a few new songs. The two sisters, on the other hand, listened to the music and wrote the score at the same time. Then they played the music again, let Li Li listen to it, and if they found something different, they asked Li Li to start again, and then correct the inconsistencies in the rhythm.

In the past four days, the two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, have sorted out more than a dozen tunes. Half of them also have lyrics. This made the sisters feel like a treasure, and they had to study new songs repeatedly every day, occasionally changing them, and striving for perfection. until the melody is beautiful and beautiful.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Li Li looked at the blue waves of the river and his heart was surging, and the memories hidden in his heart resurfaced.

In his previous life, he had been crawling and rolling on the endless sea for more than ten years, and he was promoted step by step from a big soldier to an officer, and he was used to seeing strong winds and waves. In his eyes, the Yangtze River is just a slightly larger ditch compared to the sea, and there is no need for a sailor at all, and ordinary soldiers are enough to do it.

However, time and space are turning, and Li Li looks at this river at this time, but he has a lot of taste in his heart.

Since the ancient road: the north is strong and the south is showy, and the south ship is the north horse.

The northern war horses are brave and strong, galloping thousands of miles of plains, invincible. The southern water network is dense, and there are big rivers at every turn, and it is difficult for war horses to wade through the water, so they can only rely on boats to cross the river. Since then, the power of the war cavalry in the south has been greatly reduced, and even though the combat power is strong, it is blocked by the river, and it is in vain!

It is worth mentioning that nowadays, most of the northern soldiers are not accustomed to water, can't stand the turbulence on the water, and are not used to the humid and hot climate of the south, which has formed a north-south difference with clear geographical boundaries, and derived a north-south pattern with different styles. Just like Huan Fei at this time, what a brave and powerful general, a well-deserved 10,000-strong enemy, no one can stop him in the Western Regions and the Central Plains. However, a great river tortured him so much that he turned the tiger into a sick cat, trembling, seasick and afraid of water, and it was difficult to even stand on the boat, and he could only feel better when he lay on the deck.

Huan Fei's embarrassment made Li Li's originally relaxed mood suddenly become heavy, making him re-examine the river.

Nowadays, the regional difference between the north and the south is much greater than that of later generations, and this huge difference does not mean that the Yangtze River has become a sea, but that the living environment of the north and south is huge, the transportation is inconvenient and the road is far away, and the people of the two places rarely come and go. As a result, people in the south do not know the high mountains and dangerous roads in the north, people in the north do not know the depth of the river in the south, and even many people in the north have never seen how wide and deep the Yangtze River is for generations. It is precisely because of the lack of knowledge that they will not adapt to the water and soil. If you haven't seen it, you'll be afraid, if you've seen too much, why be afraid!

Before this, Li Li didn't think about forming a sailor, because there was no need for a sailor in Xiliang, and there was no water area to train sailors. The largest river in the territory is the Yellow River, and training sailors in the Yellow River is like learning to swim in a bathtub.

In addition, the Xiliang Army will not be able to reach the Yangtze River in the short term, and there will be no need for a water division. Therefore, Li Li has no intention of recruiting naval generals when he goes south this time, and naval generals such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and Gan Ning, although recruiting people are rare, there is no shortage of generals under Li Li's command now. Since there is no place for the navy, why bother to recruit people, it is obviously a superfluous move!

Therefore, Li Li's real intention in going south was to recruit generals who could lead the army alone to attack the city, and they must be generals who were both wise and brave and proficient in the art of war.

Originally, Li Linan found nothing for more than a month, and after getting rid of the person who was following him, he was ready to return. Unexpectedly, under the interception and killing of the Xiahou brothers, Li Li was rescued by Lu Su by mistake, and then found Zhou Yu along the vine.

As for recruiting Zhou Yu, Li Li had no confidence at all that he could move him to serve himself, he originally just wanted to give it a try, but he came anyway, so what was the harm in following Lu Su by the way. Unexpectedly, Li Li himself was hopeless, but Lu Su was unwilling to give up, and persuaded Zhou Yu bitterly, for two days and two nights, almost nagging in Zhou Yu's ear. Later, Li Li sincerely invited him, and Zhou Yu finally relented and reluctantly bowed under Li Li.

The reason why Zhou Yu is reluctant is because he always has concerns in his heart, and he feels ashamed of Sun Ce. However, in the face of the persuasion of his confidant and friend Lu Su, and the sincere invitation of Li Li himself, this matter was finally promoted.

Historically, Lu Su also persuaded Zhou Yu to defect to Lujiang Zheng Bao with him, when Sun Ce had just passed away and the situation in Jiangdong was chaotic. Zhou Yu said to Lu Su: In troubled times, not only can the king choose his subordinates, but his subordinates can also choose the monarch; Immediately, Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Yu is arrogant by nature, has a high self-esteem, and has only recommended one person in his life, this is Lu Su Lu Zijing.

Therefore, the only person who could really persuade Zhou Yu to abandon the Sun brothers and join him was Lu Su, and there was no one else.

After Li Li successfully recruited Zhou Yu, he tried every means to make up for the shortcomings in Zhou Yu's heart, so that he could truly be loyal to him. So Erqiao of Anhui County naturally jumped into Li Li's mind, prompting him to take Zhou Yu and the others straight to Qiao's mansion.

However, luck can't stop it, and the fish beauty that Li Li met at night turned out to be Xiao Qiao.

In this way, by mistake, Da Qiao did not wait to marry Sun Ce three years later, but married Zhou Yu, and Xiao Qiao, who was supposed to be Zhou Yu's wife, was taken the lead by Li Lijie.

At that time, Li Li was stunned all of a sudden, and he didn't come back to his senses for several days, so that he and Xiao Qiao always had a feeling of cheating when they were happy. It wasn't until Zhou Yu won Da Qiao's heart that Li Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood tended to be peaceful.

Thinking that Li Li had previously seized Sun Quan's wife, the foot trainer, he had a sense of guilt at that time, but as a result, he just won the step trainer that night, followed by the Xiahou brothers, who led the crowd to the door, causing Li Li to almost die in the flood. Now he is not worried at all, because although he occupies Xiao Qiao, who originally belonged to Zhou Yu, he pushed Da Qiao into Zhou Yu's arms, so that no one owes anyone, and it is even!

Before leaving Qiao's mansion, Li Li wanted to return to Sili directly by land, and then go straight to Liangzhou, but Zhou Yu took the waterway from Jingzhou to Sili, so the distance was closer. In this regard, Li Li naturally did not refuse, and gladly agreed, so that he had this trip along the river.

Standing at the bow of the ship at this moment, Li Lizhi was full of pride and was very satisfied with this trip to the south.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su joined the Xiliang Army, which means that the Xiliang Army has two more generals, so that the Xiliang Army can be regarded as a real soldier with many generals and full wings.

Although Lu Su's army cannot be compared with Zhou Yu's battle, Lu Su is a strategist with a great strategic vision, and it may be insufficient to attack the city, but it is foolproof to garrison the rear camp. Moreover, the most valuable thing about Lu Su is that he is good at interacting with people, he can communicate with anyone, he has a gentle temperament, and he is soft and strong.

Historically, throughout Lu Su's life, he almost never had bad relations with others, and even the demon Kong Ming admired his character. And this is exactly the talent that the Xiliang army needs most, because the Xiliang generals have a rough temper, and they will fight if they disagree, and with Lu Su's mediation, it will definitely have unexpected results.

As for Zhou Yu's talent, there is no need to say much, Zhou Lang is out of the world.

In Li Li's view, if Kong Ming's Longzhong pair is a miracle through the ages, then Mei Zhoulang is the founder of the three-point world. His high talent, strong ability to command troops, and brilliant achievements are comparable to Sun Wu and Han Xin, and even surpassed.

If there were no Zhou Yu's Chibi soldiers, how could they come to the Three Kingdoms?

Now that the dust has settled on his trip to the south, Li Li has recruited two brothers for himself, one is Lu Su, a sworn brother who has a life-saving grace for him, and the other is his brother-in-law Zhou Yu, who can help him achieve great things. Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for!
