Chapter 45 Killed!
coming.

Before Guan Ping talked with Xu Sheng, Lu Yi and others about famous generals in Jiangdong, Xu Sheng lamented that Sun Ce and Tai Shici were considered famous generals back then, but they all died, and now only Zhou Yu himself can be called a famous general in Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu is majestic, open-minded, both civil and military. Being with him for a long time is like drinking fine wine, and you will be intoxicated without knowing it. Xu Sheng is very happy to work under Zhou Yu.

Now Zhou Yu has sent an invitation to Guan Ping, hoping that Guan Ping can join him in the battle.

But before Guan Ping could respond, Cheng Pu walked up to Guan Ping in two or three steps, grabbed Guan Ping's arm, and said with a smile:

"Will you go or not—I heard from Bo Yan that you killed Jiao Chu, you are very capable, if you can look down on the little old man, then fight with me, we don't distinguish between seniors, if you can fight, I will obey you! "

Cheng Pu is from Youbeiping. He heard Xu Sheng say that Guan Ping attaches great importance to his hometown, so he deliberately used a northern accent to attract him.

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, thinking who the hell is not from the north.

He smiled calmly: "Ah Ping's martial arts are superb, but he only owes his experience in the army. You and Wen Xiang fell in love with each other, why don't you join Wen Xiang's army first..."

"Hey, how did you talk?" Cheng Pu grabbed Guan Ping and shook again, "No, it must be under the old man's command——A Ping has made such great achievements, the old man said that he will be a general of Zhonglang, and he will lead the army alone in the future. Um, no Come to look down on my old bones!"

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were at loggerheads, and at first they were only discussing who Guan Ping would be able to play a greater role in, but then the two became more and more angry, and the two actually started to tear each other down.Cheng Pu blushed at what Zhou Yu said, and he clenched his fists and rushed forward as if he was going to fight Zhou Yu.

Guan Ping originally wanted to go up to fight, but seeing Lu Yi on the opposite side slowly shook his head without a trace, he quickly forced himself to sit down.

He remembered the sly look in Zhuge Liang's eyes just now, and his mind turned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

That's right, even if Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu had a conflict of interest, they wouldn't lose their composure in front of Sun Quan.

In this battle, all the soldiers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty were handed over to the two commanders, and the two had to show a little discordant atmosphere to make people feel at ease.Moreover, everyone was fighting, but Sun Quan didn't intend to stop immediately. He smiled politely and said nothing, and only raised his glass when the two were about to fight, and smiled to let them sit down.

Guan Ping remembered that when Lu Yi said that when he attacked Huang Zu, Gan Ning had a fierce quarrel with Zhang Zhao, and it was Sun Quan who made peace with a smile.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu have a very high status in Sun Quan's army, and they probably have figured out these routines in private. They had a little conflict before, and now they simply quarreled over a small matter before sending troops.

Is this... checks and balances?

Maybe it was Jiangdong's inherent routine, but Guan Ping was still slightly chilled.

He remembered that his good brother Lu Yi especially respected Sun Quan and was willing to be loyal to Sun Quan. Guan Ping had no doubts about Lu Yi's ability, but...

Hey, you can't blame him, he really wants to make progress.

Sun Quan could probably guess that Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu's performances were mostly performed, but he especially enjoyed the feeling of being in control of everything, so he smiled more gently and brilliantly.

After reassuring the two trusted subordinates and expressing that he had the same trust in them, Sun Quan turned to Guan Ping again, smiled and said:
"I don't know what Tan wants?"

Guan Ping pondered for a moment, then saluted respectfully:
"General, I want to... go to Boyan's command."

"Oh?"

This surprised Sun Quan a little.

Before Guan Ping gave all the credit to Lu Yi, Lu Yi's reputation soared, even surpassing his uncle Lu Ji, and became the most prominent star of Jiangdong's Lu family. The small and medium families in Jiangdong took a look at Jingzhou The situation after the surrender of the small and medium-sized families also feels that it is better to fight to see the main conditions, at least it is worse than directly voting in the past and being despised by others.

Driven by this kind of psychology, they began to support Lu Yi one after another, and Sun Quan followed suit, and directly named the young Lu Yi as a general of Zhonglang, equal in status to Cheng Pu.

But this is only on the surface. Lu Yi's current power is far inferior to that of Cheng Pu, who has a deep foundation in the army, and he has not taken the main offensive in this battle.

The most important thing is that Guan Ping and Lu Yi were on good terms before, and the two leading an army did not fit Sun Quan's idea of ​​checks and balances.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Quan smiled and said:

"Forget it. I wanted Tan Zhi and Bo Yan to practice well among the old generals. Since that's the case... how about we go all the way with Gu, first go to Xiakou to meet Liu Shijun, and then attack Xiangyang to contain Cao thief? "

·
In Jiangling, a tall and muscular old man in coarse linen clothes hung his head, wandering the streets and alleys of Jiangling like a walking corpse.

He hasn't been back to Jiangling for a long time. In his impression, this is the most prosperous place in Jingzhou. Even in winter, the city is always bustling. Merchants gather here, and countless goods from the north and the south are delivered to ordinary people's homes through the hands of the merchants.

Thinking of the strong smoke and fire in his memory, the old man will always smile knowingly.

But now walking on the street, all I can see is desolation.

There are only military ships and caravans on the banks of the river, and the gates of every household in the city are closed. In the long streets that used to be clean, there are beggars selling their sons and daughters with straw signs everywhere, and there are countless people wrapped in straw mats, who have disappeared. corpse.

The old man opened his broad palm, and passed a lucky passerby like a chicken, and asked slowly in a hoarse voice:
"How could this be?"

The passer-by trembled in shock and said in a trembling voice:
"Small, I don't know..."

The old man let out a hey, let go of the man in a murmur, and continued to walk forward slowly.After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a woman screaming.

I saw the gate of a private house was wide open, several soldiers laughed and dragged a woman out of the room quickly, the woman kept struggling and screaming, and desperately opened her hands to the few passers-by around .

The people on the side of the road looked away and avoided it, but the soldiers patrolling the street did not avoid it. They also walked forward laughing and squeezed the woman's face:
"Ordinary stuff, why rob her?"

"Hey, it's good to have it, if we don't make a move, we won't be able to grab it!"

The old man looked at the scene in front of him in a little confusion, and couldn't believe that this was the peaceful and peaceful Jiangling.

He heard that Cao Cao had been strictly restraining military discipline when he went south, and the old people in Jingzhou had also been promoted. At least in Jiangling City, such evil things that destroy people's hearts should not happen.

But it did happen, and it did appear in front of his eyes. The old man sneered and put his hands on his waist.

He had a ring-shoulder knife hanging around his waist. This knife had been with him for many years. Although there were some gaps in the knife, the old man was very confident.

As long as he makes a move, none of these young people can leave alive.

But when he put his hand on the handle of the knife, a hand stretched out beside him, and firmly grasped the back of his hand.

"Han Sheng."

The man whispered:
"Be patient, be patient."

The old man glanced at the person who came, and seeing that the person was Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family, he couldn't help sneering:
"Didn't you say that surrendering Cao Cao is in accordance with the way of heaven? Is it so smooth?"

Cai Mao looked at the old man's eyes full of evil spirits, and swallowed painfully:

"Ben, this is not the case. Since the prime minister went south, Ji Qiu has been restraining the army without committing any crimes. It's just that Guan Ping has repeatedly caused troubles recently, provoking the northern and southern armies to fight. The northern army has had a long-standing grievance, and it is necessary to resolve it a little bit. The prime minister invited you to Jiangling. , there will be reuse, don't make trouble at will!
Those northern troops were already at odds with us, if you attack..."

The old man let out a sigh, and a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes:
"I am also a barbarian."

"what?"

"You scholars look forward and backward, I'm just a barbarian warrior, I only know that someone is robbing my fellow countrymen, I can't ignore it." The old man held a knife in his hand, and looked up and down Cai Mao contemptuously, "Look at your timid appearance, It’s really embarrassing for us Jingzhou people.”

Cai Mao's heart seemed to be pinched severely by a big hand.

The cold wind blowing like a knife blew on his face, making Cai Mao's nose slightly sour, and the pain on his face became more and more clearly discernible.

"Han Sheng!"

"What else do you want to do!"

"I..." The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he suddenly remembered the years when he was a young boy with this tall and strong brother, wielding swords and playing knights, enjoying friendship and enmity.

Gradually, a cold light slowly lit up in his eyes.

"You... If you have the ability to kill people, kill them all. With me here, no one dares to do anything to you."

The old man laughed loudly, the sound was like a tiger descending the mountain, and everyone around him subconsciously covered their ears, looking at the white-haired old man in horror.

"Okay, then... kill them all!"
