Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 203 Zhou Lang was young, Liu Yao became enemies with Liu Bei

Hefei Houguo
A young general rode his horse and wielded his gun, showing off his power.

A middle-aged general next to him clapped his hands in praise.

"The major general's marksmanship is natural. If the master sees it, he will definitely praise it."

The boy was Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce. Although he was only 17 years old, he was tall and strong, and his physique was not inferior to that of an adult.

When Sun Jian was seeking Dong, he moved his family to Shu County, Lujiang County.

But because Yuan Shu ordered Sun Jian to attack Lujiang County, Sun Jian moved his family to the Marquis of Hefei ahead of schedule.

The middle-aged military general is Sun Jian's family general Cheng Pu, who was ordered to guard the Marquis of Hefei.

Sun Ce hung up his spear, turned off his horse, and asked proudly, "When my father was in Luoyang, he fought off Dong Zhuo's adoptive son Lu Bu. Uncle Cheng thinks, how do I compare with Lu Bu?"

Cheng Pu laughed and said, "Why did the Major General compare himself with Lu Bu?"

Sun Ce raised his head, his eyes were convinced: "Lv Bu is Dong Zhuo's adoptive son, and I am my father's eldest son, so it is natural to compare myself!"

Cheng Pu was stunned.

Then Lu Bu is not younger than Sun Jian, so when Sun Ce said this, didn't he regard Lu Bu as Sun Jian's nephew?

But after thinking about it, this seems to be no problem, can't Sun Jian become Dong Zhuo's nephew?

Coughing twice, Cheng Puning said in a low voice: "Young general, don't be arrogant. Lu Bu is brave. It was Lu Bu who repelled the Lord and Guan Yu together. If we fight alone, the outcome between the Lord and Lu Bu is unknown."

Sun Ce said disdainfully, "Then how can Guan Yu compare with his father? If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely ask Guan Yu and Lu Bu for advice!"

A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, not to mention Sun Ce's eyes are always high with Sun Jian, a brave father who is good at fighting.

During the conversation, someone reported Zhou Yu's arrival.

Sun Ce immediately ignored Cheng Pu, and strode out to greet him: "Ayu, you are not in Shu County, why did you come to the Marquis of Hefei? Could it be that Lu Kang is going to blame you?"

Zhou Yu was the same age as Sun Ce, and he was also a handsome young man at this time.

Seeing Sun Ce's question, Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "Although Lu Jining is the prefect of Lujiang, he still can't control the Zhou family in Shu County."

Zhou Yu was quite proud when he said this.

The Zhou family in Shu County is also a prominent family with a prominent status.

Zhou Rong began to enter the political arena in the later years of Emperor Zhang, and Zhou Jing served as Taiwei during Emperor Huan, and also supported Emperor Ling to succeed him.

Zhou Jing's nephews are all in high positions, and Zhou Zhong, the neutron, is still working as the chief farmer in Chang'an.

Lu Kangzhi is in Wancheng, so he really can't control the Zhou family in Shu County!
Sun Ce put his hands on the back of his head and joked, "Ayu, are you bored at home?"

Zhou Yu pretended to sigh: "My uncle was beaten everywhere in Yangzhou, my brother couldn't bear my elder brother's distress, so I took the risk to help, but was teased by my elder brother, it's not nice to meet people."

Sun Ce chuckled: "Ayu, although I don't read much, I also know that meeting people who are not good comes from the Book of Songs."

"The original text is: If a woman divorces, it will make her cry. If she makes her cry, she will be unkind to others."

"It's about a woman married to a bad husband."

Zhou Yu's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly defended: "I am a metaphor, do you understand metaphors?"

Sun Ce waved his hand: "Understand! Understood! Understood! Ayu, which girl have you taken a fancy to recently?"

Zhou Yu restrained his face: "Brother, let's get down to business!"

"I got the news that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan supported Liu Kai, King of Hejian, proclaimed himself emperor in Zhuocheng, and changed the year name to the first year of Jianwu."

Sun Ce was stunned: "Isn't there an emperor in Chang'an? Why is there another emperor in Zhuocheng? Then who will listen to?"

Zhou Yu said in a concentrated voice: "The two emperors are fighting. Normally speaking, whoever wins will listen to whom. I just don't know who General Yuan listens to now."

Sun Ce said with a smile, "So you came here to inquire about the news. But unfortunately, my father has not returned from the battle with Huang Zu, so you can't ask if you want to."

Zhou Yu did come to inquire about the news.

Although the Zhou family is a prominent family, they are also Yuan's protégés and old officials.

During Suzong's time, Zhou Rong cited the Ming Scriptures and set up Situ Yuan'an's mansion.

Yuan Shu wanted to rob Yangzhou, so naturally he didn't forget the Lujiang Zhou family, a former student of the Yuan family.

So Yuan Shu sent someone to find Zhou Jing's follower, Zhou Shang, hoping that Zhou Shang could lead the Lujiang gentry to join him.

Originally, Zhou Shang was prepared to respond, but because of the coexistence of two emperors, Zhou was not clear who Yuan Shu would support.

After all, Zhou Zhong was still in Chang'an, if Yuan Shu supported Liu Kai in Zhuocheng, Zhou Zhong would be in danger.

Zhou Shang couldn't ask Yuan Shu directly, so he asked Zhou Yu to come to Hefei Hou Guo to find Kunzhong Sun Ce to inquire about the news, and inquire about Sun Jian's thoughts by the way.

In troubled times, if you make a wrong choice, it is likely to bring disaster to the family.

The Zhou family has been a prominent family for a hundred years, so naturally they don't want to get angry because of a momentary mistake.

After staying in Hefei Houguo for three days, Zhou Yu saw an angry Sun Jian.

"Yuan Shuzhu!"

Sun Jian didn't see Zhou Yu present, so he blurted out the curse words.

After glancing at Zhou Yu, he swallowed the rest of the words.

Sun Jian glared at Sun Ce and blamed Sun Ce for not reminding him.

Zhou Yu hurriedly saluted and said, "Uncle ordered me to visit uncle."

"Uncle?" Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce suspiciously.

Sun Ce quickly explained: "When we were in Shu County, Ayu and I had already become kunzhong."

Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and lightly reprimanded, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Sun Ce was quite aggrieved: "After my father returned to Yangzhou, he was either fighting or in the military camp, or he was sleeping soundly. How could my child have a chance to introduce him?"

Sun Jian just felt that his face was swept away, and he didn't really want to reprimand Sun Ce, so he looked at Zhou Yu: "Ah Yu came to find this general, why?"

Zhou Yu glanced around.

Sun Jian said: "They are all trusted people, so you might as well speak out."

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Uncle, I know that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan supported Liu Kai, King of Hejian, and proclaimed himself emperor in Zhuocheng."

Sun Jian asked in surprise, "When did this happen?"

Zhou Yu said in a concentrated voice: "The proclaimed emperor was at the beginning of June, and it has been more than half a month now."

Sun Jian frowned: "No wonder, General Yuan issued a strict order to this general to give up attacking Huang Zu immediately and return to Shouchun."

"Uncle Ling wants to ask, which side of the emperor will General Yuan support?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "General Yuan wanted to make uncle an official, but uncle didn't know who General Yuan would support, so he asked my nephew to find out the news."

Sun Jian said without hesitation: "Don't worry too much, General Yuan will not support anyone."

Zhou Yu's eyes froze, and he quickly understood Sun Jian's meaning: "My nephew understands, so I'll go back to Shu County and tell my uncle."

"Slow down!" Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "When I was in Luoyang before, I heard Da Sinong mention that Ayu was smart since she was a child, and she has a good understanding of the current situation."

"Does Ayu have any thoughts about the current situation in Yangzhou?"

Seeing that Sun Jian wanted to take the exam, Zhou Yu thought about it for a while and said, "Yangzhou has a lot of forces. There are prefects in the county, county magistrates in the county, and a powerful Jianwu Fort to defend themselves. They are not willing to obey each other."

"There are even Shanyue people who occupy one side and refuse to obey the government's orders."

"However, during the war in the Central Plains, many sages took refuge in Yangzhou. If someone can connect the counties and make good friends with famous officials, powerful gentry, and then expel Yangzhou such as Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang and other troublemakers."

"It can also achieve great things."

"It's just." Zhou Yu observed Sun Jian's expression, and said cautiously: "If uncle follows General Yuan, it will be difficult to accomplish anything."

Sun Jian's heart was shocked, and he looked at Zhou Yu with more surprise and admiration: "The nephew of Da Sinong, his ambition and insight are really extraordinary."

"But now I have to rely on General Yuan, and follow Yuan Shu's instructions. Does Ayu have a plan to break the situation?"

Zhou Yu asked without answering, "I just heard what my uncle said, and it seems that I have a lot of resentment towards General Yuan?"

Sun Jian snorted coldly: "Yuan Shuzhu, the general was about to repel Huang Zu, but he actually sent someone to send an order, saying that even if Huang Zu's head is about to be cut off, he must withdraw his troops and go to Shouchun."

Sun Jian was very depressed.

After defeating Dong Zhuo in Luoyang and gaining an advantage, Yuan Shu called back to Yuzhou to fight Liu Chong.

When Nanyang was fighting with Liu Biao's generals, Yuan Shu called for withdrawal to fight Cao Cao.

Yingchuan and Cao Cao were fighting fiercely, and Yuan Shu called for withdrawal and went south to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou was fighting fiercely with Liu Yao, and Yuan Shu called for withdrawal to fight Huang Zu.

As a result, Sun Jian continued to fight, but it was difficult to kill the general and capture the flag.

Every time they hit halfway, they were forcibly recalled by Yuan Shu.

Sun Jian wanted to take the opportunity to seek development in Yangzhou, but Yuan Shu wanted to risk his life and go north.

As a result, Yuan Shu was forced to flee to Huainan, and Sun Jian's plan to plan Yangzhou fell through.

Zhou Yu said: "Uncle is under the control of General Yuan, he will come and go when he is called."

"However, throughout the ages, on this battlefield, there are very few generals who can win every battle."

"If you don't have a purpose and run around like a frightened bird, you will eventually be unable to escape the hunter's arrows."

"Uncle, why don't you send someone to shoot an arrow secretly for yourself, and then spend three months in Hefei Marquis to recuperate to stop it quietly."

Sun Jian narrowed his eyes slightly: "After three months, what should we do?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Now that the two emperors are fighting each other, in three months, the general situation of the world will definitely change drastically."

"And the forces in Yangzhou, because Uncle was hit by an arrow and turned from offense to defense, will definitely attack and kill each other."

"Uncle, use stillness to stop, and the last to come first, so that you can catch everyone by surprise!"

"At that time, whether it is Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang, Liu Yao, etc., they will all be exhausted from the battle. How can they resist Uncle's tiger and leopard army?"

Sun Jian couldn't help but praised: "Although Ayu is young, she is quite proficient in tactics."

"I'm depressed. I'm going to go hunting in the mountains. It's normal for me to be hit by an arrow when I'm attacked by enemies."

"After all, the general didn't like to bring personal guards, and General Yuan knew it."

"Ce'er, I will test your archery for my father tomorrow, so don't miss it!"

Sun Ce waved his hands again and again: "This is impossible, how can a child shoot an arrow at his father?"

Sun Jian chuckled, "Ce'er is at ease when someone else shoots?"

Sun Ce hesitated for a moment.

In case the archer had selfish intentions, he pretended to fall into the trick and was really assassinated.

Sun Ce had no choice but to agree to Sun Jian's request.

In a few days.

News that Sun Jian was assassinated by assassins spread in Yangzhou when he went hunting in the mountains.

Qua.

Liu Yao was overjoyed when he got the news: "Sun Jian Shuzi, who was light and unprepared, almost died at the hands of the assassin. It's really a joy."

Tai Shi, who was temporarily under Liu Yao's command, said kindly: "Mr. Zhengli, since Sun Jian is seriously injured, I should prepare to return to Qingzhou."

Liu Yao thought to himself, "Ziyi is brave, why don't you stay in Yangzhou? After Yangzhou is pacified, I will definitely give credit to Ziyi."

Liu Yao had already seen Taishi Ci's bravery.

But because Liu Bei captured Liu Dai alive, Liu Yao felt resentful towards Liu Bei, so naturally he didn't want Tai Shici to return to Qingzhou.

Tai Shici shook his head and rejected Liu Yao's kindness: "Thank you for the kindness of Mr. Zhengli. My family members are all in Qingzhou. This time I went south to buy warships for Liu Qingzhou. It was only because Mr. Zhengli was attacked by Yuan Shu that I stayed in Yangzhou. "

"Now that Sun Jian is seriously injured, the rest of Yuan Shu's generals are mobs. Duke Zhengli can handle it."

Seeing Tai Shici insisted on leaving, Liu Yao's eyes gradually became gloomy.

After Tai Shici withdrew, Liu Yao immediately summoned Zhang Ying and Fan Neng.

"Liu Bei captured my elder brother, this hatred is hard to get rid of."

"Taishi Ci wants to buy warships in Wujun and enter Qingzhou. If Qingzhou has warships, Liu Bei will be even more difficult to deal with."

"The two of you immediately send an order to the dock in Wu County. Without an order, no ship is allowed to leave Wu County."

"If Tai Shici comes to see me, you will all excuse that I am not in Qu'a."

"Liu Bei, you don't want to buy a ship in Yangzhou!"

In the name of Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, Tai Shici originally bought [-] warships on credit in Wujun, but when he was about to leave Wujun, he was told that no ships could leave Wujun without Liu Yao's order.

Tai Shici didn't think much at first, so he went to look for Liu Yao, but was told that Liu Yao was not there.

For several days, Liu Yao avoided Tai Shici.

Tai Shici finally sensed something was wrong: "Is Liu Zhengli avoiding me on purpose? Could it be because I refused to be an official in Yangzhou?"

"Liu Zhengli still hated Liu Shijun for capturing Liu Dai alive, but Liu Dai himself committed a crime and killed his colleagues. Liu Shijun was captured alive and sent to the Zongzheng Mansion for conviction according to the secret order. Everything was done according to the law and there was no personal grudge."

"Yuan Shu attacked Yangzhou, and Liu Shijun allowed me to help out in Yangzhou. How could Liu Zhengli be so narrow-minded!"

The more Tai Shici thought about it, the angrier he became.

When I was in Qingzhou, I thought Liu Yao was a hero.

In addition, my mother was also born in the Donglai Liu family, so they are more or less blood related.

As a result, Liu Yao hated Liu Bei at this time and refused to allow the warships purchased on credit by Wujun's wealthy family to go to Qingzhou.

Seeing that the warship could not leave Wujun, Tai Shici had to return to Qingzhou alone, and told Zheng Ping about Liu Yao's seizure of the warship.

"Show conspiracy, I have no face to see the envoy."

Tai Shici was so angry that he punched the table.

To help Liu Yao in Yangzhou, Liu Bei agreed without saying a word, and asked Tai Shici to do his best.

As a result, Liu Yao seized the warship purchased on credit in Qingzhou instead, which made Tai Shici feel very ashamed and ashamed to see Liu Bei.

"Brother Ziyi, this table is very expensive." Zheng Ping gently reminded him by shaking his feather fan.

Tai Shici was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Xianmou, are you still arguing with me at this moment? Our warships, fifty warships, have been impounded!"

"Brother Ziyi, don't worry!" Zheng Ping didn't panic at all: "Liu Yao wants to seize Qingzhou's warship, but he bullies Qingzhou because it is far away and can't control Wujun."

"Of course, although there is no navy in Qingzhou, there are pirates!"
