Major General's Journey through the Three Kingdoms

The next day, Lu Su took Zhuge Liang to Chaisang to meet Zhou Yu.When they passed through the front yard of the mansion, they heard the sound of a beautiful piano, followed by the sound of a sword being swung.Zhuge Liang is a man who understands rhythm.Hearing the sound of this piano, sometimes the lingering sound is ethereal, like gurgling water; sometimes murderous intent is everywhere, like thousands of troops.

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang followed Lu Su to the place where the piano sounded.Before engraving, I saw a quiet and elegant woman playing the piano intently in a pavilion.And a general in armor next to him is practicing sword.Zhuge Liang knew that the two must be Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao.Can't help but secretly sigh: It really is the concubine's love.

Seeing this, Lu Su applauded.Zhou Yu saw Lu Su and Zhuge Liang coming.Then he stopped the sword, and ordered Xiao Qiao to step back, while he went to the living room facing the two of them, where the host and the guest sat side by side.Zhou Yu had already served tea.

After the three of them drank tea, Lu Su told Zhou Yu about Cao Cao leading the army to the south, and then asked Zhou Yu what he thought.After hearing this, Zhou Yu said: "Cao Cao led the army to the south with the order of the emperor. It can be said that the name is justified and the people's hearts are back. First, he took the land of Jingxiang without any effort. Then he drove Liu Bei out of the land of Fancheng. The momentum is so great that it is not like Jiangdong. Tens of thousands of people can resist, and according to Gong Jin's intention, it is better to surrender to Cao Cao."

After hearing this, Lu Su thought what he said was true, so he retorted: "The land of Jiangdong was conquered by the former master Sun Jian from east to west, and he won a reward for his outstanding military exploits. , Borrowing thousands of troops, Jiangdong was able to pacify Jiangdong, but unfortunately died of illness. As a result, the second son Zhongmou has been established for the third time. Now the general handed over Jiangdong's foundation to Cao Cao for the sake of temporary comfort. This makes Bofu smile at Jiuquan Down?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu avoided answering.However, Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in the guest seat, sat with his arms folded and sneered.Seeing this, Zhou Yu asked, "Sir, why did you sneer? Is there something wrong with what Gong Jin said?"

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "I don't laugh at Gongjin, but at Zijing's ignorance of current affairs."

When Lu Su heard this, he thought that Zhuge Liang had also changed his mind, so he asked Zhuge Liang what he meant.Zhuge Liang said: "Gong Jin wants to surrender Cao Cao, this is a reasonable move."

Lu Su asked urgently: "Could it be that the master also changed his mind because of Gong Jin's words?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao is very good at using troops. Now the Han Dynasty has been occupied by him. Now only Liu Zhang of Yizhou dares to compete with him. But Cao Cao led his army to capture Jiangdong, and the land of Hanzhong may not last long. Wu Wu Now that the Lord Sun Quan has descended to Cao Cao, it can protect the people of Jiangdong from being killed. The civil and military men of Jiangdong can also protect their wives and children, and enjoy the glory and wealth of the court, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu secretly said, "Zhuge Liang is nothing more than that."

But after hearing this, Lu Su said angrily, "Are you trying to teach my lord to be humiliated by Cao Cao?"

Zhuge Liang said: "No, this is brother Gongjin's act of knowing the current affairs."

Zhou Yu asked with a smile, "Why didn't your master surrender to Cao Cao?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Although my lord has been repeatedly defeated by the Cao bandits, he is a descendant of the imperial family. Even if he dies, he is unwilling to surrender to the country's thieves. Now that it is said that Cao Cao led an army to attack Jiangxia, my lord has only a few generals. United with Jiangdong to reject Cao Cao. But since Marquis Wu has surrendered, it seems that my lord has no choice but to abandon Jiangxia and vote for Liu Zhang."

When Zhou Yu heard that Zhuge Liang wanted to abandon Jiang Xia to Cao Cao, he couldn't help becoming anxious.He knew that Jiangxia was the throat of Jiangdong. If Cao Cao occupied it, the Yangtze River natural moat on which Jiangdong relied would disappear in an instant.So he said anxiously: "What I said just now was to test Kong Mingye, not my original intention. Since I left Poyang Lake, I have had the intention of the Northern Expedition."

Zhuge Liang had known for a long time that he wanted to test himself, so he said to surrender Cao Yi.Hearing what Zhou Yu said now, he pretended to ask a question: "It turns out that the governor has no intention of surrendering Cao. Forgive Kong Ming for his slip of the tongue just now."

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Kong Ming's words are not unreasonable, but I have tried to govern Jiangdong for three generations, have enough soldiers and food, and have the Yangtze River's natural moat. How can I surrender to the Cao thief?"

Ge Liang said: "Gong Jin's words are true. I think Cao Cao is a lustful man. He conquered Zhang Xiu in Wancheng earlier. Seeing that Zhang Xiu's uncle and aunt are beautiful and plump, she wants to take her as a concubine, but she doesn't want to be raped by Zhang Xiu that night. If Cao Cao takes Jiangdong, the beautiful and charming wife in Jiangdong will definitely fall into Cao's hands, just like the person who played the piano just now, will also fall into Cao's hands."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhuge Liang pretended to be ignorant.

Lu Su explained to Zhuge Liang: "The person playing the piano just now is Gongjin's wife, Xiaoqiao!" Then he explained to Zhou Yu that Zhuge Liang didn't know about it, and hoped he wouldn't take it to heart.Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang apologized to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu heard what Zhuge Liang said at this time, which further determined his heart to defeat Cao.So he drew out his saber and slashed at the corner of the desk, saying: "Tie Cao, I am incompatible with you!"

Zhuge Liang said: "If Gong Jin wants to make a northern expedition, Kong Ming is not talented, and he is willing to do the work of dogs and horses."

Zhou Yu said: "The two of you will step back for the time being. When I come to see the lord, I will discuss the matter of Sun Liu breaking Cao." Then Lu Su took Zhuge Liang to leave and left.

The next day, when Zhou Yu saw Sun Quan, all the civil and military personnel were there.Zhou Yu then explained the disadvantages of Cao Cao's northern troops going south.After hearing this, Sun Quan made up his mind to attack Cao.So Zhou Yu was made the governor, Cheng Pu was the deputy governor, and Lu Su was the lieutenant of the Zan Army, and they were ordered to lead the Jiangdong Navy to listen to orders by the river.

Zhou Yu withdrew and returned to the mansion, and then asked Zhuge Liang to come to discuss the plan to break Cao.At that time, Zhuge Liang was discussing today's camp with Lu Su.After hearing this, Zhuge Liang was very happy.Then he said to Lu Su: "Zhou Yu is really a talent!"

Lu Su smiled and said, "Mister's talent is probably no less than that of Gong Jin. I haven't exposed the fact that you outraged Gong Jin yesterday."

Zhuge Liang was ashamed and said: "It turns out that Zijing knew about this a long time ago. Thanks to you, you didn't expose it on the spot. Otherwise, our Sun-Liu alliance might be broken."

Just as he was talking, he heard that Zhou Yu summoned Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang knew that he must be asking for the matter of breaking Cao.So he resigned from Lu Su and went to Zhou Yu's mansion.In addition, Zhou Yu saw that Zhuge Liang had not arrived, so he wanted to go to find him in person.

However, not long after Zhou Yu left the mansion.Zhuge Liang's carriage came to Zhou Yu's mansion, and then he wanted to knock on the door and enter.But Wen Fu said that Zhou Yu had gone out.Zhuge Liang didn't understand why he left the mansion now that he wanted to summon him.So I also wanted to leave.Suddenly, the sound of a piano came from the backyard.The voice is calm and delicate.Zhuge Liang thought about this, so he asked the people in the house who played the piano here.The answer was: "The general's wife, Xiao Qiao."

Zhuge Liang seemed to like the sound of the piano very much, so he asked if he could go to see Xiao Qiao.Then the servant led Zhuge Liang to the pavilion in the backyard.I saw Zhou Yu's beautiful wife, Xiao Qiao, sitting on the pavilion.
