The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

"There is such a thing!"

Zhou Yu was very surprised after listening to Lu Su's narration.

Then he said: "Shu Bi's wife is a woman, but she can plan to kill Gui Lan and Dai Yuan to avenge her husband. She is really a wonderful woman."

Lu Su nodded and said: "Yes."

"But the lord sent me here this time not to tell the governor these things."

"But there is another more important thing, which concerns the governor and his wife's family."

Zhou Yu was a little puzzled: "Oh? My wife?"

Lu Su nodded and said:

"I think the governor also knows that Cao Cao will definitely get involved in Jiangdong in the future when he goes south to Jingzhou."

"But the military equipment in various places in Jiangdong is not sufficient. At that time, I am afraid that they will not be able to compete with Cao's army."

Zhou Yu nodded in agreement. Although his water fort was set up sharply, only he knew that the shortage of bows and crossbows in many places was still very serious.

So Zhou Yu asked: "I wonder what Zijing said has to do with my wife and the Qiao family?"

Lu Su said: "The governor doesn't know that the Qiao family in Lujiang has been sailing on the river and selling the now in-demand pig iron, leather, and hardwood to Xuzhou and other places privately."

"This caused a large amount of strategic materials that should have been shipped to Jiangdong to be lost elsewhere."

"Before leaving, the lord specifically asked me to inform the governor of this matter."

"This matter is related to the safety of Jiangdong, please treat it with caution."

After listening to this, Zhou Yu nodded solemnly.

Then he quickly looked up and said to Lu Su: "I will lead the troops back to Lujiang tomorrow, and I will definitely complete this matter within three days!"

Seeing that Zhou Yu had expressed his position, Lu Su knew that the task had been completed, so he stood up and saluted:

"In this case, I will take back the original words of the governor. If the lord knows, he will definitely be pleased."

Zhou Yu also stood up and said: "Then I will not keep Zijing any longer."

Lu Su clasped his fists: "Governor, please stay, I will take my leave."

After Lu Su left, Zhou Yu paced in the big tent for a while.

Then he turned around and left the main tent, rode on his warhorse, and hurried back to the city.

Zhou Mansion.

Xiao Qiao was sitting in front of the window, writing with her cheek in her hand.

A branch of crabapple was hanging down from the window as if to show off, but it was not one ten-thousandth as beautiful as her.

The wind blew, and the petals fell.

Xiao Qiao looked up and saw that the gate of the courtyard was pushed open.

Zhou Yu walked in with a jade pendant hanging around his waist. The red tassels of the jade pendant were blown up by the wind and fell down in strands.

He was really handsome!

Seeing Zhou Yu coming back, Xiao Qiao immediately stood up to greet him and said:

"It's not even noon today, why did you come back so early?"

Zhou Yu took Xiao Qiao's hand and said to her:

"I have something to tell you, Madam. I hope you will forgive me."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao said, "What happened to you today? Did something happen?"

Zhou Yu pulled her to sit on the chair and said:

"Today, Lu Zijing came to me and said that the Qiao family sold some scarce materials such as pig iron, leather, and hardwood to other places without authorization, and did not transport them to Jiangdong."

"The lord already knew about this, but he sent Lu Zijing to come in person. Notify me."

"This shows that the master trusts me."

"I will go to Lujiang tomorrow to deal with this matter. If there is any offense to the Qiao family, please forgive me, Madam."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and said:

"What do you think of me, my husband?"

"A real man should be loyal to the king and the country, and that's what he should do."

"But my father has not asked about business matters for many years. This matter is probably done by those short-sighted children in the family."

"My husband can act impartially. I will support all your actions."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu was deeply moved.

Holding Xiao Qiao's hand tightly in his palm, Xiao Qiao also leaned on Zhou Yu's shoulder, a picture of a talented man and a beautiful woman.

However, good times are always short-lived.

This warm time has not passed for a few seconds, and a maid came in from outside, interrupting the warmth of the two.

"Commander-in-chief, Madam, General Ding Feng wants to see you."

Zhou Yu quickly let go of Xiao Qiao and stood up, saying, "Please come in."

The maid turned and went out, and Zhou Yu gave Xiao Qiao an apologetic smile.

"I am busy with military affairs, and I have been apart from you for a long time."

"You have suffered a lot over the years."

Xiao Qiao smiled faintly and said, "A real man should be like this."

Then she gently pushed him out.

Zhou Yu did not hesitate any longer, turned around and left the yard and went to the living room.

When he arrived in the living room, Ding Feng had already arrived.

Seeing Zhou Yu, Ding Feng quickly stood up and said:

"Commander-in-chief, urgent military information!"

Zhou Yu hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Ding Feng said, "Scouts reported that Liu Qi of Jiangxia suddenly led 20,000 naval forces and more than 100 large warships out of Xiling, and I am afraid he intends to attack Jiangdong!"

ZhouZhou Yu was shocked when he heard this.

He turned around habitually and wanted to look at the battle map on the wall.

But this was at home, and there was no map.

So he hurriedly said to Ding Feng: "General, please go back to the camp immediately to summon all the generals to discuss matters."

Ding Feng hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Zhou Yu sighed and hurried back to the courtyard.

Xiao Qiao was serving tea to entertain guests.

Seeing Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao asked: "General Ding Feng is leaving?"

Zhou Yu: "Gone."

Xiao Qiao asked again: "My husband is leaving too?"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Jiangxia Liu Qi suddenly sent out 20,000 troops. I don't know his intention."

"I must go back to summon all the generals to discuss countermeasures."

Xiao Qiao smiled, like a sea of ​​flowers on the mountain being rippled by the breeze.

Zhou Yu sighed again and said, "Before finding out Liu Qi's intention, I'm afraid I can't come back to accompany my wife, nor can I go to Lujiang."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao said, "My husband has military affairs, so just go. I can go back to Lujiang to deal with the matter of Lujiang on my husband's behalf."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu said, "I just regret that one person can't do two things at the same time, and I have to let my wife run around for me."

Xiao Qiao said, "It's my duty to help my husband."

"Don't worry, my husband, I will definitely discuss this with my father and handle it properly."

Outside the gate, Zhou Yu said goodbye to Xiao Qiao, got on the horse handsomely, and returned to the Chaisang Navy Camp.

Xiao Qiao turned and entered the gate, and began to tell the maid to prepare some clothes for going home.

…………

"My lord, the owner of the Qiao family has arrived."

After these days of sailing, Tang Jian didn't want to stay on the boat for a second.

The river wind has been strong recently, and he vomited as much as he ate.

However, it was precisely because of the strong wind that his sailboat was able to reach Lujiang quickly with the help of the wind.

His subordinates had already contacted the person in charge of shipping at the Qiao family, and the two families had agreed to go to the dock to discuss.

Following his subordinates' line of sight, a fat young man was walking down from the dock with a man, walking across the wet wooden planks.

"Why not choose a safe place to negotiate business!"

The fat young man was obviously very dissatisfied with the buyer's choice of location, and his mouth was full of complaints.

Perhaps it was because of his temper that he had so many pimples on his face.

Each one was plump and white, almost bursting out, but he didn't squeeze them out.

Tang Jian, who had some obsessive-compulsive disorder, frowned when he saw it.
