My husband Zhuge Kongming

Lu Su's words were sincere.

He repeated the conditions and future expectations given by Huang Yueying and his wife, and then talked about Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu finally couldn't help but nodded.

"What should I do?"

Hearing these words, Huang Yueying and his wife were relieved. This meant that Zhou Yu had compromised.

In this era, it was difficult for scholars like Zhou Yu and Lu Su to resist the temptation to create a prosperous age with their own hands.

Similarly, people like Liu Bei and others find it difficult to refuse.

As a result, the land east of Jiangdong was stabilized.

"Brother Gong Jin, there is no need to worry too much. The assassination failed and my brother can return to Jiangdong safely. Sun Quan will be happy, but he needs to prevent the Sun family's power from turning to Cao Cao." Huang Yueying reminded, and then looked at Zhuge Liang , signaling for him to say the next words.

Zhou Yu nodded, "Indeed, in order to fight against Jingzhou, Jiangdong and Cao Cao signed many alliances."

"This is just a way to protect yourself." Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhou Yu.

To be honest, the other party's ability to bend and stretch like this will still make people look up.

"But I can guarantee that Jiangdong will have no worries within five years." Zhuge Liang said again.

"Five years?" Zhou Yu was stunned, and then realized that this was the time Huang Yueying and the others needed to prepare to conquer Cao Cao.

In other words, according to their plan, in five years... there will be no Cao family in the north.

When the time comes, Jiangdong will naturally no longer need to sway from side to side.

"Okay." Zhou Yu then agreed, "How about Yu in the past five years?"

"At the local level, well, the remaining half of Wu County should follow the example of Chu'an, live with the people, and develop military strength." Zhuge Liang replied.

"Developing military strength?" Zhou Yu's eyes widened.

"Yes, five years later, we will order Xingba and Brother Zhou to promote Chu'an's methods in both Jiao and Yangzhous. The most important of them is the system of calculating land and receiving land."

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, "Brother Zhuge, aren't you afraid that Yu will regret it in five years?"

"I've seen the prosperity of the common people. Brother Zhou is reluctant to go back on his word." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Is Chu An’s method good?
Of course it's good.

Haven't you seen that the people of Ye County and Chu'an are living well?
Can it be promoted?

Yes, but difficult.

The family that is most loyal to Huang Yueying now will be the biggest obstacle in the future.

Without military force to deter them, how could the major families obediently hand over the land in their hands.

When the time comes, there will probably be some bloodshed, but change always involves bloodshed.

Without bloodshed, there can be no change.

With the alternation of old and new interests, class barriers are broken down, and those with old interests will naturally hold grudges, but as long as they hold military power, they have nothing to fear.

Zhou Yu was silent, yes, now that he had seen the situation of the people in Chu'an, he certainly hoped that the people in Jiangdong would be like this.

Now there is only half a county left in Jiangdong, with only a few larger aristocratic families and many small aristocratic families left. With the Sun family's current military strength, it can be suppressed.

In short, Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang hope that Zhou Yu can conduct a pilot project in the remaining half of the county in Jiangdong.

At this time, most aristocratic families are focusing on the benefits brought by Chu An, so they can be less noticeable. After five years, there will be no other obstacles, and drastic reforms can be implemented.

By then, the lives of the people in Jiangdong will gradually improve.

"Yu understands and will try his best to do it." Zhou Yu nodded, "Shaoer's matter..."

"Take him as a hostage and send him to Chu'an." Zhuge Liang said again, "In this way, Brother Zhou also has a reason to persuade Sun Quan to make changes in half the county. If he does not change, he will perish."

"Okay." Zhou Yu agreed again.

The two people in front of him had all kinds of excuses for him, and it was really too difficult to handle.

However, he was still a little curious about how the other party would deal with Liu Cong since he was partly involved in the assassination.

"What about Liu Cong and Brother Zhuge?"

"A Chu should have made arrangements." Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Yueying. Cai Mao had gone out just now, which meant that the plan had been made.

Huang Yueying smiled and nodded, "Yes, by then, Brother Gongjin can just wait for the news in Wu County."

"Then Yu is looking forward to it." Zhou Yu nodded.It was normal for the other party not to reveal all the plans. After all, he was a new ally, and an untested ally at that.

"Of course." Zhuge Liang also nodded, and then smiled, "Then, happy cooperation?"

"Pleasant to work with."

……

That night.

Because there were only a handful of people who witnessed Zhou Yu holding Huang Yueying hostage, and Shan Yue and Zhao Jiu were also captured later, Huang Yueying issued a gag order, and the news that came out was:

Jiangdong Zhou Yu angered Chu Anjun at the banquet and disrupted the wedding. Zhou Yu was naturally sent out of Jingzhou.

At the same time, Chu Anjun also told the Sun family to send a pledge, otherwise, the remaining half of the county would not be defended.

And Huang Yueying, after Zhuge Liang took care of everything, was brought to Zhuge's house.

At this time, the guests had dispersed. Those who had not dispersed had already been arranged by Pang Shanmin and Zhuge Jin.

The night sky is not bright, nor is it silent, and there are still guards patrolling the road.

Frogs and insects can be heard everywhere, and the smell of grass is even more comforting.

"What are you doing here?" Huang Yueying was slightly confused, "Looking at the moon?"

Zhuge Liang laughed, "Okay."

"Okay?" Huang Yueying also smiled. It seemed that Zhuge Liang didn't want her to look at the moon, but she still looked up at the sky.

Because it was the end of the month, the moon was not full and the light was not very bright, but the stars above the night sky were quite spectacular.

Sometimes she would also wonder, what is the difference between the night sky a thousand years ago and the night sky a thousand years from now?

But soon, she knew.

Countless bright lights slowly rise into the sky from all over the village, which are Kongming lanterns.

"A Chu once said that this lantern is a Kongming lantern." Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Yueying and said with a smile, "I didn't know why at that time? Now it seems that it can reveal a little light in the night, and it is indeed the same as Kongming. meaning."

Huang Yueying nodded and looked at Zhuge Liang with tender eyes. Actually... that's because later generations said you invented this lamp.

"Liang thought, this lamp can not only lift into the sky, but it can also be used for communication between heaven and earth." Zhuge Liang took Huang Yueying's hand and said, "Liang's family was separated since his childhood. His parents died young, and later his uncle also died. We are getting married today and I want to talk to them so that they don’t have to worry about it in the future.”

"Huh?" Huang Yueying was puzzled.

"Because, Liang, you have a family." Zhuge Liang said with a gentle smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

Huang Yueying smiled and held Zhuge Liang's hand firmly, "Yes, Achu also has a family."

In the distance, thousands of Kongming lanterns rise higher and higher, like a sky full of stars, like a dream.

In the village, there were sudden exclamations, and then it became lively.

The guards knew it well and were not too surprised, but they couldn't help but immerse themselves in the scenery.

"Okay, you can come out." Zhuge Liang said loudly.

After a while, Zhuge Jun, Huang Cong, Huang Jun, Daya, Liu Chan, Guan Xing and others appeared in front of them.

"Congratulations to my sister (mentor) on her marriage. I hope my sister (mentor) will be in harmony with her husband and have a son soon!"

……

In early April, as the news about Zhou Yu spread, the Jiangdong family became very passionate. They had no good impression of the Sun family, and no one wanted to bring the Sun family down more than they did.

Now that Sun was unlucky, they had to ask Sun to send hostages. They felt that this was not enough, and they hoped that Gan Ning would directly send troops to capture the remaining half of Wu County.

However, they also knew that at this time, the Sun family still had control of their core military strength. If they really wanted to take it, they would have to start a fight. Therefore, the various families in Jiangdong also stopped fighting.

Xiangyang.

After Cai Mao returned, he directly asked Huang Wu and Gan Rui to take charge of part of the Jingzhou navy and army. Although some of his subordinates were dissatisfied, they did not cause any trouble.

At the same time, with the cooperation of Mrs. Cai, all the guards and attendants in the Zhou Mu Mansion were replaced with lightning speed.

Mrs. Cai learned about Huang Yueying's arrangement from Cai Mao. After sighing countless times, she still hid it from Liu Biao.

Now that Liu Cong and his brothers are under control, let them... be under control, and don't let Liu Biao get angry in the last days.
