Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Ruxukou, the performance that lasted for many days finally came to an end.

As the Soochow warship moved away, some Mi family soldiers gently patted the Zhou family sergeant who was "covered in blood" and "dark red" on the beach.

"Wake up, wake up, why are you still asleep?"

"Everyone is up, everyone has gone away, there is no need to perform any more... General Mi has specially ordered that all the dishes be served with chicken drumsticks tonight!"

The word spread.

The soldiers of the Zhou family, whose chests seemed to have been shot through by thousands of arrows and whose entire bodies were hollowed out, really opened their eyes one after another.

Then, these Zhou family soldiers stood up with the help of the Mi family army, as if they were already familiar with each other after a few days of acting, and each of them directly put their arms around each other, like brothers in the trenches.

"These past few days... have I performed well? I have designed eighteen ways to present just one scene of falling to the ground after being hit by an arrow. I haven't finished showing it yet? Why... why did I just call it a day? No more acting?"

"Brother, what's your name? You've been acting pretty well these days! When we get to Jiangdong, I'll take you to the Hong Kong Coliseum... How about we have a real sword and gun competition? Let's see who can stab a knife and see the red!"

Not to mention, as we continued to act, the friendship really came through.

...

On the Yangtze River, warships sailed down the river.

Zhou Xun and Sun Shao stood on the observation deck, looking at the Ruxukou that was getting farther and farther away from them. Sun Shao couldn't help but sigh, "The setting sun is about to dye the bloody massacre of Ruxukou red, and Brother Xun is also here." He rushes forward regardless of life and death, and his acting skills...not to mention Sun Quan, even I would believe him."

Because the envoys sent by Sun Quan were on other ships, and this was the observation deck, the highest point of the warship, Sun Shao had no fear and directly expressed his most sincere emotions.

only…

"Haha..." Zhou Xun laughed, and while he continued to use a blood bag to smear the blood stains on his armor more evenly and thickly, he said: "Really speaking of acting skills, there is still one thing missing..."

"what?"

Just as Sun Shao raised his question, he saw a dagger appear in Zhou Xun's hand. Without any warning, he swung the dagger directly towards his arm.

This…

Under Sun Shao's stunned expression, the dagger had already pierced his arm, and then slowly slid forward.

"What are you doing?" Sun Shao was surprised.

Zhou Xun didn't answer. It wasn't until the dagger left a long mark and blood began to pour out that Zhou Xun took off the package and said, "After being beaten for so long, I can't have any wounds on my body, right?"

Ah...Sun Shao didn't expect that Zhou Xun's purpose of self-mutilation was actually for this.

"Haha..." Zhou Xun raised the corner of his mouth and showed a faint smile, "Sun Quan has eyes here. If he didn't really see blood, how could he believe that I refused to retreat and was forced to evacuate? And How can you entrust me with the responsibility of border defense?"

call…

Sun Shao was shocked by Zhou Xun's sacrifice, but he soon understood.

This is not a sacrifice, this is his hatred for Sun Quan and his obsession with his father!

At this moment, the dagger was raised again, and "Swiss" hit two blades again, this time on the shoulder and forearm.

The blood flowed out in a trickle. Sun Shao endured the unbearable pain in his heart and tore off his clothes to wrap up his wound... Zhou Xun stretched out his hand to stop it, "Don't rush to bandage it now, let more blood flow out... This will make it more real - "

This…

Sun Shao gritted his teeth and watched the gurgling blood fall. He couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't it hurt?"

What responded to him were Zhou Xun's sonorous words: "As long as I can kill Sun Quan, what does this little pain mean?"

"Brother Shao... If you really want to say it hurts, didn't it hurt when you and my father were stabbed in the back by that thief Sun Quan?"

This sentence immediately stunned Sun Shao.

Roll the Yangtze River to the east.

Looking down from the sky, the warship is sailing as usual, but who knows that the big ship carrying Soochow is about to reach a strange road——

...

...

Built Ye City and Dongwu Palace.

Just a few days later, Sun Quan, the leader of the Soochow Kingdom in his 30s, seemed to have aged ten years.

Originally a black head of thick hair, now you can clearly see traces of gray on it.

The purple beard also seemed to be messy without caring about the edges.

There were two documents in front of him.

Of course, the news of the fall of Lujiang and Ruxu had already come, but... every word in these two battle reports revealed a heartbreaking fact, that is, the general who Sun Quan entrusted with an important task finally betrayed him and chose to kneel down. Live!
On the contrary, it was Zhou Xun, the queen of Zhou Yu who was stabbed in the back by Sun Quan and died.

——Stick to your roots and fight to the death...

He has the feeling of a loyal soldier who is about to die standing!

Satire…

These two battle reports were simply a great irony for Sun Quan.

For a moment, Sun Quanquan felt that he was blind.

You know... his choices over the years... have been completely negated by the war in the past few months, and at the same time, his vision has also been completely negated.

"More than [-] soldiers and horses in Lujiang surrendered to the city. The soldiers of the Mi family were bloodless, but they could only survive thousands of Zhou family tribes, but they fought to the end... Zi Ming, I don't want to admit it, but I have really done something wrong in these years... Gu Ye is the first For the first time, I understand the painstaking efforts of my eldest brother, and why I want to use my domineering power to occupy Jiangdong..."

At this point, Sun Quan pondered slightly, then shook his head and opened his mouth, "Brother is right. Except for ourselves and the brothers brought from Huainan, no one can be trusted!"

Lu Meng and Sun Quan were the only two people in Nuo Da's palace.

After Sun Quan imprisoned the clan, he mobilized a force of soldiers and forcibly distributed the farmland of the family. While boosting the morale of Jiangdong, a brand new problem also appeared...

Nowadays... there are too few reliable people around Sun Quan.

Among those who could trust, command troops, and negotiate, looking around... there was only Lu Meng left.

"Meng didn't expect... It was Zhou Xun who stood firm to the end... not Jiang Qin or He Qi..." Lu Meng sighed, "I heard that General Zhou Xun had countless wounds on his body, but he couldn't fight to the death." Retreat and try to recapture Ruxu... If it weren't for the huge disparity in strength and morale, maybe... Lord, in my opinion, at this critical moment, Soochow needs to have a hero in the minds of the soldiers to inspire people with his deeds. Zhou General Xun is such a role model for heroes!"

Lu Meng was also filled with emotion.

Never thought, right now.

Sun Quan's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he thought of something, "When He Qi and Jiang Qin were stationed in Lujiang, they also won battles and withstood Guan Yu's attack, but who could have imagined that they built plank roads in secret to Chencang , secretly moved all their people away..."

"My lord, what you mean is..."

"I have suffered a loss before, and I don't want to make the same mistake again..." Sun Quan's eyes became more and more stern, "I must at least know whether his Zhou Xun's family is still there? If they are still there, then can I let him Zhou Xun Become my great hero in Soochow——"

family?
Lu Meng already knows Sun Quan's thoughts, so... Zhou Xun's family member can only be Xiao Qiao!
...

...

One big Qiao and two small Qiao, three inches of golden lotus and four inches of waist——

I bought five or sixty-seven packs of powder, and I dressed very delicately——

This was the first time Sun Quan visited the Zhou family's residence after Zhou Yu's death.

When you first enter, you can smell the aroma that fills the courtyard. This aroma can not only drive away mosquitoes, but also refresh your mind.

You can also pick fresh young leaves and soak them in tea, or chew them directly to feel comfortable...

This is the magic God has given to autumn.

Because he knew in advance that Sun Quan was coming, Xiao Qiao had already prepared tea. Sun Quan deliberately broke off a piece of mint and put it in the water. He took a sip and the strong mint oil was so spicy that Sun Quan opened his mouth and was about to spit it out.

Xiao Qiao said softly: "Wu Hou, please hold back..."

Sure enough, when Sun Quan closed his mouth again and chewed a few times, the pungency of the mint leaves entered the bone marrow through his saliva, and the coolness spread throughout his body, and there was a sweet taste in his mouth.

Sun Quan clicked his tongue in surprise...

Xiao Qiao explained: "It also has a name called 'Yindancao', which means wonderful elixir... When the mint leaves are first taken into the mouth, they are like the sourness encountered in life, but when the saliva transforms and absorbs its juice , the feeling will change...if you open your mouth and spit it out, you won't be able to enjoy the strange taste..."

Xiao Qiao seemed to be explaining patiently. At the end, he did not forget to add, "The favorites of General Bo Fu and Zhou Lang in the past were mint leaves..."

Because the names of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were mentioned, Sun Quan was slightly stunned and panicked. However, because of the refreshing mint leaves, he reacted very quickly and restored the majesty of the Soochow King in an instant.

"It's been a long time since I've been to the Zhou Mansion, and I never thought...things have changed and people have changed..." Sun Quan said with emotion: "But the only thing that remains unchanged is the loyalty of the Zhou family. In the past, there was Zhou Gongjin, and today there is Zhou Xun...The family tradition of the Zhou family Continue, be loyal and courageous...I want a big reward!"

"The Marquis of Wu does not need to give rewards..." Xiao Qiao spoke eloquently and generously, "The Zhou family has received a lot of favors. Zhou Lang served two masters of Soochow. From establishing Soochow to dividing the world, Xun'er was just a step. Zhou Lang's footsteps, in fact...I always have a feeling that Zhou Lang's protection for Jiangdong has never left for a moment..."

call…

Xiao Qiao's words greatly inspired Sun Quan and the accompanying civil and military personnel.

Sun Quan solemnly raised his hand to Xiao Qiao, "Anyway, I want to thank you for being the lintel of the Zhou family. If Mrs. Qiao has any shortage, she can send someone to inform Yu Gu at any time, and I will go back first -"

"I send you to Marquis Wu..." "No need-"

Sun Quan left a message and led a group of people slowly out of the gate of Zhou Mansion.

As soon as Fang stepped out of the gate of Zhou Mansion, Sun Quan asked Lu Meng anxiously, "How is it? Let's go find out. Are any of the Zhou family members here?"

"No!" Lu Meng replied truthfully: "Just now, we sent people to secretly investigate every pavilion, and no one in the Zhou Mansion has moved..."

Lu Meng's words made Sun Quan put down all his guard... From this moment on, his trust in the Zhou family became extremely firm. He left five words: "Reward Mrs. Qiao——"

Having said that, it’s time to board the carriage…

Lu Meng's eyes were fixed, and he quickly reminded: "My lord, the top priority is to send someone to guard the Zhou family..."

This is necessary to guard against others;
It’s also a precautionary measure…

"Haha..." This time, Sun Quan seemed to shake his head subconsciously, "No! If Zhou Xun wanted to run away, he would have been just like Jiang Qin and He Qi... Why would he run away now? Let alone just think of moving now. A member of the Tu clan? Zhou Xun is a loyal person, and the Zhou family is the lintel of loyalty..."

Sun Quan's tone was extremely determined, but at the end of his words, his face became a little depressed, "It's the Zhou family's behavior that makes me feel guilty towards Zhou Lang. Perhaps in the past, Zhou Lang's strategy of dividing the world by taking Yizhou from the west, He really has no selfish intentions! He has no intention of blocking the mountain gate and dominating Bashu! If...he has never been selfish, I should have listened to him..."

At this point, Sun Quan's last sentence contained a sigh, "It doesn't matter, things are unpredictable, so I can only choose to look forward -"

As Sun Quan got on the carriage, he asked Lu Meng, "When will General Zhou Xun return?"

"Early tomorrow morning..."

"Instruct the three armies to be led by Gu Gu personally, and all the civil and military officials of Soochow will go out of the city to meet General Zhou Xun——"

...

...

If we attack Jiangdong from the Lujiang River by land and water, we can only attack from two ports.

The first is Wuhu Port, which is close to Jianye City, and the second is Hulin Port, which is hundreds of miles away from Jianye.

Because Huling Port is far away from the city, supplies are inconvenient, and it is surrounded by forest and wetlands, making it difficult to march...and the water channel is narrow, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Therefore, it can be determined that if we attack Jiangdong, the first choice will be Wuhu Port.

But today... Wuhu Port is very lively, with flags fluttering and huge crowds of people. Countless brightly-colored armors are standing in awe.

This scene of so many soldiers is not because of the arrival of Jingzhou’s fleet, but because of the return of one man, to be precise, it is a triumph——

Yes, under the publicity of Sun Quan and Soochow, Jiang Qin and He Qi have become the targets of public criticism, but Zhou Xun, the son of the former Zhou Lang, has undoubtedly become the only hero in Jiangdong in this era.

——His record is that [-] Zhou family troops competed with more than [-] Mi family troops and Guan family troops for Ruxu;

——Falled six times, retaken by six counterattacks, and finally killed ten times the enemy force with limited troops and retreated unscathed!

This is a great victory!

What a great victory!

And he is undoubtedly the God of War under the bloody setting sun, a figure like the pillar of Ruxukou holding up the sky. His heroic spirit is full of heroic spirit... He is a hero recognized by everyone in Jiangdong——

Of course, these may not be true, but at this time, both Sun Quan and Soochow need a series of lies to cover up the truth, to restore this precarious decline, and to boost the morale of all Jiangdong soldiers and civilians. Only in this way... can they win the coming war Fight to the death in battle!
Today, Sun Quan wants to set an example...

Undoubtedly, Zhou Xun is this typical example.

One after another, warships docked at Wuhu Port. Zhou Xun did not expect that he would be greeted by noisy gongs and drums, a surging crowd, and deafening cheers.

This burst of sound confused Zhou Xun and the "remnant" Zhou family army. Even Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang, who had not left the deck, looked surprised.

What shocked and surprised them was that this was not a great victory!
Why does it really feel like returning home in triumph!

But soon, Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang realized something.

The two exchanged glances, and Sun Shao said with emotion, "As expected of Sun Quan, the same impression as always, he actually used Zhou Xun to change people's hearts——"

Tai Shixiang chirped and said calmly, "However, if this is the case, it seems to be of great benefit to our plan!"

"That's right!" Sun Shao's mouth gradually opened, revealing a long-lost smile!
Over there...

The cheers and gongs and drums continue...

Zhou Xun walked to Sun Quan's side facing the praising eyes. He was wearing a cloak, but his armor was still the same one that was stained with blood on the battlefield.

In fact... there was no change of clothes in the warship.

All the armors of the Zhou family army have not been replaced, and they all look so bright red. Even the smell of blood in the air seems to tell the hardship and horror of this battle!
"Lord...the last general..."

Zhou Xun originally wanted to say that the general had thrown away his beard, but he never thought that Sun Quan would speak first. He pointed at the bright red armor on Zhou Xun's body.

"Is this my general from Soochow? This is what Jiangdong Erlang looks like on the battlefield. Look at it! Look... Is there any part of General Zhou's body that is not stained with this blood? This whole body, Is there anything that doesn't make us feel distressed? But if it were not so, how could he defeat ten times the enemy with his own strength? General Zhou is worthy of being the son of Zhou Lang. He is full of Zhou Lang's style from top to bottom. He is a descendant of Soochow. What a hero!”

With Sun Quan's inspiring words, he almost cried.

Zhou Xun also realized Sun Quan's purpose. He quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, Xun and my father are both ministers of Wu. The Zhou family is a loyal family. If we can't shed blood for Jiangdong? What else is there in this world?" mean?"

"Okay, okay, okay..." Sun Quan quickly went to help Zhou Xun, but when he touched Zhou Xun's arm, Zhou Xun's hand shrank suddenly, and Sun Quan realized something.

"Take it off and show me." Sun Quan said in a commanding tone.

"This..." Zhou Xun looked embarrassed.

"Help General Zhou take off his clothes..." Following Sun Quan's voice, several generals around him stepped forward.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, when Zhou Xun's armor was removed, there were especially drops of blood dripping from the armor, but this was not terrible.

Because what's even more terrifying is... Zhou Xun's body... can be described as "shocking". He was covered with at least five wounds, and every bandage was red, especially on his arms... even if it was It was wrapped in bandages, but it was also covered in blood, which was shocking.

"My lord...the last general..." Zhou Xun wanted to speak again.

But once again, Sun Quan stopped him first, "Is this the injury you suffered for Soochow?"

"It's just that the general is incompetent..."

"You are not incompetent! It is Jiang Qin and He Qi who are incompetent, and it is Gan Ning and Ling Tong who are incompetent!" Sun Quan roared loudly, "You are also clumsy and incompetent... In the entire Jiangdong, you, Zhou Xun, are the only man who is a man... a true hero!"

At this point, Sun Quan turned around and said solemnly, "I am passing on my order. From now on, General Zhou Xun will be my military commander in Soochow..."

"My lord is wise—" Lu Meng reacted the fastest and was the first to agree.

After that, many officials also echoed, "My lord is wise..."

"Haha!" After listening to everyone's words, Sun Quan turned around again, "The solitary Commander-in-Chief...why don't you get up? There are two loyal Commander-in-Chiefs in the Zhou family, looking at the world, how glorious is this?"

Who would have thought that Sun Quan's words and appointment... still failed to make Zhou Xun stand up.

Zhou Xun solemnly handed over his hand, "My lord is so kind, I am even more ashamed of myself. I... I am outnumbered and unable to guard Ruxu. I beg... I beg Wu Houyun to garrison Wuhu Port... and hand over the entire responsibility of river defense to Mo." General, the last general has figured out the path of the Jingzhou Army, this time... no one will step into Soochow!"

This…

Sun Quan pondered for a moment, then smiled. He looked at Zhou Xun in front of him with relief. He deliberately avoided Zhou Xun's hands to help him up.

Sun Quan's tone was meticulous, "You are my general of Soochow, where are you personally guarding? Why do you need to ask Gu? I trust you just like I trusted your father eight years ago!"

At this point, Zhou Xun had already stood up. Sun Quan patted his shoulder gently to show his heartfelt trust, and then turned around...

He walked towards the direction of the carriage with a quick step.

But at this time.

There was only a "click" sound, and Sun Quan paused in his steps. When he turned his head, he noticed that Zhou Xun had knelt down again.

This is the third time Zhou Xun has kneeled down today...

The difference is that the first two times I knelt on one knee, this time I knelt on both knees.

There is gold under the man's knees, and he is on his knees... Such a great gift is not something that can be done casually.

"Captain Zhou, what are you..."

Before Sun Quan could finish speaking, Zhou Xun's voice was extremely firm, "Zhou Xun has no father. The eldest son of the Lord is trapped in Jingzhou, so he is almost childless. If the Lord does not abandon him, Xun is willing to worship the Lord as his adoptive father -"

This…

In full public view, the great hero Zhou Xun openly worshiped Sun Quan as his adoptive father, which Sun Quan did not expect...

This is a question I have never thought about, but the atmosphere has been heightened here. In addition, for Sun Quan, now is the time for employment...

Immediately, "Hahahahahaha..." Sun Quan pretended to laugh. He did not comment, but continued to walk in the direction of the carriage, laughing wantonly as he walked, and happily opened his mouth: "I have a heroic son. Don't let me." Disappointed for my father!”

"Yi... adoptive father——"
