Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2209: Upright

In the entire Han Dynasty, chaos broke out not only north of the river, but also in the area south of the river, as if it was agreed upon.

Dozens of armored cavalry and hundreds of armored infantry walked on the streets of Wu County. In the queue, in addition to the proud Lu Yi, there was also Lu Xun who always lowered his head.

At the end of the queue, there were scoldings and cries from time to time. It was the soldiers who were impatiently scolding the prisoners in the last few prison cars.

As soon as Sun Quan came back, Lu Yi started to tremble.

At the same time, Lu Yi also submitted a large amount of evidence of "collusion" between Jiangdong nobles when Sun Quan was not in Wu County, such as abnormal personnel exchanges at certain times, the appearance and disappearance of unidentified people, etc. Of course, in these evidences Some of them did happen, but some were fabricated by Lu Yi. But the problem is that no one except Lu Yi knows how much moisture there is...

Coupled with the passive resistance, silence and sabotage of the four Jiangdong families in the early stage, Sun Quan naturally had reason to become furious and began to personally send people to kill him. He also mobilized his trusted soldiers to station around Wu Commandery, and also prepared swords, guns, swords and halberds. Utensils, etc. If you think about it, you will know what will happen next if everyone dares to say no.

Although Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others are also nobles, they are considered Jiangbei faction. Therefore, when Sun Quan was watching the Jiangdong nobles doing things, he did not want to make him angry, so he pretended to be extremely busy by doing some external affairs. This way, you can avoid certain things by pretending that you cannot see or hear them.

Among all the clans in Jiangdong, the Lu family is considered the weakest, so the first to succumb was Lu Xun. Then Sun Quan sent Lu Yi to work with him to eliminate and arrest those who were said to be involved in the "assassination of Sun Fu". The Jiangdong noble family was a big family, and then these arrested people revealed more accomplices...

Lu Yi's eyebrows were full of excitement and he was gesticulating and issuing orders, while Lu Xun remained silent and asked no questions. He was like a wood carving. He went wherever he was told and said he had no opinion when asked. Everything obeyed the group... eh , the boss arranged it, whatever Lu Yi said, it was whatever he said.

This attitude certainly made Lu Yi very comfortable, and even felt that Lu Xun was very sensible.

With arrests here and there, everyone in Jiangdong is now in a panic. They don't know when they will be implicated, and they don't know how long they will last or how long they can hold out...

But Lu Yi's good mood did not last long. Soon he discovered that there were some tough soldiers guarding him in front of Sun Quan's government office. There were long tail feathers on the saddle, and he smelled of iron and blood, but there was no Even after many battles, Lu Yi could smell it.

"This... this... looks like a governor's guard..." Lu Yi rolled his eyes, "Quick!" Go back to the official office! 』

When Zhou Yu came, he definitely didn't come to have tea and chat with Sun Quan.

Sun Quan let Lu Yi go, so Lu Yi's affairs were a bit rough. But now that Zhou Yu is here, once the evidence of Lu Yi's arrest during this period of time is investigated, he must at least do it more decently and not be fooled casually.

Lu Xun, who was behind Lu Yi, seemed to have raised his head at this moment and looked at the entrance of Sun Quan's government office. Something seemed to flash in his eyes, and then he lowered his head again, as if there was nothing there. See, it’s like not knowing anything.

Let's ignore Lu Yi who is rushing to check and make up for the mistakes. Let's just talk about Zhou Yu.

After Zhou Yu arrived at Wu County, he found that the situation had deteriorated. Zhou Yu is not as awesome as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, and in Mr. Luo's writing, Zhou Yu's existence is to support Brother Zhu, so...

After arriving in Wu County, Zhou Yu immediately visited Mrs. Wu, and then rushed to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan did not want to see Zhou Yu because he also knew that nothing good would happen if he met Zhou Yu, but he had to meet because Zhou Yu not only came by himself, he also brought a note written by Mrs. Wu.

Sun Quan calmly read Mrs. Wu's note and pretended to be calm, but the sweat on his temples seemed to reveal some problems.

Sun Quan put the note back into the box and put it on the desk. He looked at Zhou Yu and forced a smile, "Why is the governor here?" 』

Zhou Yu said with a cold face: "Seeing that everyone is bound by the Lord, I came here to ask for death." The Lord wants to kill the scholar-bureaucrats in order to establish his authority, so he invites his ministers to do so. 』

Sun Quan's expression changed, and then he forced a smile, "The governor really loves to joke... He is not a person who likes to kill, how can there be any reason to kill indiscriminately..."

Zhou Yu sneered and said, "Who believes it?" It is easy to kill, who can replace him? From now on, there is no one available for the Sun family... After hearing about the Spring and Autumn Annals, there are very few people who can enjoy the Third Age. Now that I see my lord, I know that his words are also good! 』

Sun Quan gradually stopped laughing and stared, "What do you mean by this, Governor?" 』

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Why don't you mean something, but what do you mean by asking the Lord?" Jiangdong is located in a remote corner, and it is difficult to compete with the Central Plains. If you want to develop your hegemony, you need to work together and work together. Is there no one who is right, who is more and who is less? You have to determine the internal and external levels before you can act? 』

Sun Quan finally couldn't bear it anymore and said seductively: "If you can't decide what is right and what is wrong, how can you do anything?" ! 』

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan as if he were looking at a lump of elm wood, "There are high and low levels of water, and there are five tones of sound. Which one is higher and which one is lower?" Who is right and who is wrong? Today, there are countless heroes in the world. They are all working hard, day and night, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, so that they can find a place to stay and a place to display their ambitions. As the lord inherits the great cause and has virtuous ministers to assist him, he should pay more attention to meritocracy. It is useful to know the balance! How could it be that before he was satisfied, he was planning to kill and exclude dissenters? When the time comes, isn't your lord afraid that future generations will follow suit? 』

"Who dares?" ! ” Sun Quan shouted angrily.

Zhou Yu's expression remained calm, "My lord, please ask me straightly... What is the purpose of Jiang Dong's pursuit of the Sun family's foundation in the future?" ! If my lord acts like this, will Jiangdong become better, or... you must know that it is not too late to make up for it before it is too late..."

"Someone knows this!" ” Sun Quan slapped the table angrily, “Why don’t you all ignore it? It’s because Yan is wrong!” Jiangdong, Jiangdong Foundation! How come someone doesn’t know about Jiangdong Foundation! Someone wants to take Jingzhou, but he is not prepared here and there is no safety there! Someone wants to conquer South Vietnam, but it cannot be used here and cannot be entered there! No matter what someone wants to do, there is a lot of opposition! This is not good, and that is not good either! Could this be the great cause of Jiangdong? How can this be the future for the Sun family? 』

Zhou Yu quietly stopped Sun Quan from finishing his words, and then said: "Then, my lord, have you ever thought about why the ministers have objections to what your lord has mentioned?" 』

"What? ”Sun Quan was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Yu continued: "In the past, Yuan Jiujiu sent people to assassinate Cao Mengde... It was a low-level strategy. Everyone advised him not to use it. However, Yuan Jiujiao insisted on going his own way. If he killed Cao Mengde, the world would be determined. Kill one person. That's it, why bother to use thousands of troops? This matter...does the lord take it for granted? 』

Sun Quan couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat.

"The important affairs of the country are in the army and in the sacrifice." We are all dignified, how can we be stubborn? Zhou Yu seemed not to have noticed Sun Quan's little move, "If Yuan Gongdao can really assassinate Cao Mengde, the Cao family may fall apart. From then on, Yuan Gongdao can send his army north to invade Yuzhou... However, it is more likely that the Cao family and the Xiahou family They all became mournful soldiers. With one of them as the leader, they all fought to the death! In this way, even if you win, you will suffer many losses; if you lose, you will lose everything! What is the benefit of such a strategy? 』

"Yuan Jiujiu only saw the advantages and did not realize the disadvantages. He was eager for success, which made him self-defeating, and many people betrayed him...Yuan Jiujiu was particularly unrepentant and insisted on overstepping the imperial system. He tried to use the name of righteousness to eliminate the resentment of everyone and bring peace to the world. What will be the end of the gentry's anger? To die on the road is..." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and said, "Even if Yuan Jiujiu wins and sits in Yuzhou, can he conquer the world? How will the world view it? How can we win the hearts and minds of the people? If the officials under Yuan Gongluo know that their master is secretive, makes dangerous plans, deceives people's hearts, and is greedy for power..."

"enough! ” Sun Quan shouted loudly and stopped Zhou Yu’s words.

Zhou Yu sat and looked at Sun Quan quietly.

Sun Quan stood up, walked back and forth twice before standing still, waving his arms, "Be upright, why don't you want to be upright?" But there are monsters and demons all around, so how can we behave in an upright manner? 』

"have! ” Zhou Yu said decisively.

"What to do?" Come on! ”Sun Quan stared at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu slowly said four words, "Just like a hussar!" 』

"..." Sun Shiwan suddenly didn't know what to say...

……( ̄□ ̄) # ……

In the desert.

Everything is quiet everywhere.

Liu He looked up at the sky. There was a bright moon in the sky, which was extremely cold.

Victory requires continuous accumulation and careful maintenance, but failure is just a moment of negligence, which is a complete collapse.

Is it fair?

What's unfair?

Next to Liu He stood Xian Yufu.

Xian Yufu was more or less aware that his brother was probably in danger, and because he was injured, he looked somewhat miserable. He just looked at Liu He's back silently, sighed for a long time, and then stepped forward and said: "Sir, it's night, please rest..."

Liu He remained silent.

Xian Yufu paused for a moment, and then said: "Winning or losing is common for military strategists. As long as we go to General Zhao or General Hussar again, there will be no chance..."

Liu He looked back with tears streaming down his face, "How many times can a man be defeated in his life?" In such troubled times, how many opportunities can we have if everything is precarious? 』

Liu He originally thought that he was only one step away from his father's position, and he was about to sit on it, but he was kicked down. Moreover, at the moment when he was most proud, he suddenly changed. This kind of blow was particularly special. It was heavy and uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but express my feelings for a moment.

Xian Yufu fell silent and lowered his head.

The expressions of the remaining soldiers around him also changed somewhat.

Liu He suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Then he looked back and saw some of his men avoiding his gaze, huddled in the shadows. He was startled and realized something was wrong with him, so he hurriedly Wiping the tears on his face, he took two steps forward and said loudly, "In the past, my father rode into Youzhou alone and conquered Mobei. Even though I am unworthy, I should be proud of it!" I vowed here that if I could not ride across the desert again for the rest of my life, it would be like this knife, rotting with the soil! 』

After saying that, Liu He took out the sword from his waist and stabbed it into the ground in front of him!

While the sword was shaking wildly, Liu He turned around and strode away, "A man, you can be sad for a moment, but you can't be sad for the rest of your life!" In the desert, there is no telling who will win! Rest early today and head back to the mountains tomorrow! 』

No matter it is a big boss or a small boss, the most taboo thing is to lose the goal and not know what to do or what to do in the future. Liu He almost fell into death, but fortunately he woke up quickly Otherwise, there is no guarantee what will happen.

Seeing that Liu He had recovered a little, Xian Yufu and others looked at each other, their faces became somewhat brighter, and they quickly followed Liu He forward...

Liu He was boosting his morale here, but in the north of Youzhou, Kirby felt quite relieved. It could be said that the road had turned around, and he had once again found a bloody road through the harsh mountains and rivers!

The Xianbei people seem to have hope again!

Although Kirby and Cao Chun can temporarily join forces, it can be regarded as achieving the first phase goal, but how the two parties will cooperate next and how they will work together in the future, there are also many follow-up projects that need to be discussed. Today, The two parties agreed to meet and discuss together.

The cavalry led by Cao Chun were all wearing iron armor and capes. They were riding on horseback. The slight collision of the armor pieces caused a series of killing sounds. Although Kirby's men and horses may not be as well-equipped as Cao's army, they are all strong and fierce in appearance, with white air rising between their breaths, giving them a unique aura.

Kirby Neng stared at Cao Chun, with some complicated expressions in his eyes, but soon, Kirby Neng concealed these emotions, laughed and walked forward, "I have heard about General Cao a long time ago." The reputation, when I saw it today, was indeed not a lie! 』

Cao Chun curled up the corner of his mouth slightly, and then he also laughed, "I have long wanted to meet King Xianbei, but I have never had a suitable opportunity. Today, I got my wish, I am very happy, haha..."

Although the words of the two people are so clichéd, and there is no real emotion at all, this is a necessary procedure, and they still have to say these few words.

Cao Chun understands some Xianbei dialect, and Kebi Neng also understands some Chinese. Together with the translator around him, there is generally no problem in communication between the two.

After the two sat down, Cao Chun waved his hand and signaled his entourage to deliver the gifts, "Ten sets of battle armor and twenty hundred-refined battle knives are all of the highest quality. They are considered small gifts to meet each other and are not respectful." . 』

Ten sets of armor and twenty swords seem to be a lot when they are laid out, but in fact they have to be divided among the Xianbei people. Isn't it true that each person can only get a small piece? So in fact, most of these things still fall into Kirby's hands, and Cao Chun's intention is not to let Kirby take advantage, but to let Kirby be the vanguard to consume Pingbei General Zhao Yun. If you equip yourself with more power, you might be able to consume more of it?

Kirby Neng laughed loudly and seemed very satisfied with these gifts. On the one hand, he waved to people to put away the armor and swords, and on the other hand, he also asked people to fetch the gifts he gave to Cao Chun...

When Cao Chun got Kirbineng's gift in his hand, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

A bowl inlaid with gold and silver.

Bone bowl.

Even though it is inlaid with gold and silver, it is still a bowl of bones, just like a fighter jet among garbage is still garbage.

To be precise, this bone bowl should be the skull of some unlucky guy. It was made into such a bowl by Kirby's skilled craftsmen. There seemed to be some unremoved bones in the gaps between the bones. Fishy smell...

"This is what the head of the lobbyist who came that day did!" ” Kirby Neng laughed and said, “Today I use this bowl to drink, and tomorrow I will use more traitor heads to drink!” 』

"General Cao!" please! "Kirby poured a bowl and delivered it to Cao Chun.

The kumiss, which originally had a fishy smell, was poured into the skull where the smell of blood remained, and the smell started to rise after being scratched...

Cao Chun couldn't help but frown a little.

Kirby Neng laughed and took his hand back, "General Cao, is he suspicious that the wine is poisonous?" Don't worry, I've always been upright and never do anything like a mean person! 』

After saying that, Kirby quickly picked up the wine bowl, drank a gulp, poured a second bowl, and handed it to Cao Chun again, "How are you? Are you relieved?" 』

Cao Chun's eyes twitched.

Not as good as the previous bowl!

Now also add Kirby’s saliva!

Cao Chun took the wine bowl from the skull very boldly, and then put it to his mouth with a smile. He raised his neck and poured it down. It looked like he drank. In fact, Cao Chun kept his mouth closed, and most of them poured it down. , and then worried that Kirby could continue to pour the wine, he wiped his mouth and handed the skull wine bowl to his guard, "Very good!" Very good! This thing will definitely be handed over to the lord! 』

Kirby Neng laughed and seemed very satisfied with Cao Chun's actions...

The gifts have been received and the drinks have been drunk, but it doesn't mean that there are no other things to do, or that all the problems can be solved.

The dispersed Wuhuan people, the escaped Liu He, and even General Pingbei stationed in Changshan are the focus of the next stage, and are also the core issues for mutual discussion between Cao Chun and Kebineng.

But on this core issue, the two people inevitably had differences.

Cao Chun naturally hopes that Kirby can serve as a pioneer to consume the power of General Pingbei, but Kirby is more eager to regain a foothold in the Youbei Desert, but has little interest in attacking Changshan immediately.

The foundation of mutual cooperation before was about to collapse. The more the two people talked, the more unhappy they became. They both felt that the other party did not consider the problem from their own standpoint, and only knew how to keep making requests for this or that... …

Just when the two were about to fall out, the sudden information made the two put aside their dispute again.

The Ding Ling people are coming...
