Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 503
Xiao Qiao laughed bitterly: "Everyone has gone, what's the use of these things? I don't ask for titles, and I don't ask for rewards, I just ask that my orphans and widows will not be disturbed by others. Zijing's kindness, I appreciate it, these belongings It’s useless to keep it, and I’m going to trouble my son to reward it to the servants. Gongjin once bought [-] mu of mulberry fields, which is enough for my mother and son to eat and wear.”

"How can this be? Gongjin's son is like my son..."

"Gongjin's funeral depends on Zijing." Before Lu Su could finish speaking, Xiao Qiao interrupted him.

"I don't hesitate." Lu Su immediately took off his clothes and changed into mourning clothes.People went to Wujun, Xiangyang and Jiangling to report to Sun Quan, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others, and they also set up Xiaopeng on the bank of the river for people to pay homage to.

Zhou Lang died of illness, and the news spread quickly all over the place.A spy had reported to Liu Bei earlier, and Liu Bei was puzzled: "Military Master, although Zhou Yu was hit by an arrow, his injuries have recovered. He was in his prime, so why did he suddenly die of illness? Could it be related to the letter from the military adviser?"

"Maybe he still has a hidden wound, or maybe he has a sudden cold. I just advise him not to fight lightly. This is not good for both of us. How can a letter kill Zhou Lang? If so, Liang will write another letter to send it to him." Wouldn't it be better to give it to Cao Cao?"

"Hahaha." Liu Bei laughed, but he still had doubts in his heart, "When Zhou Yu dies, Jiangdong's hearts will be in chaos. The general will not fight, the soldiers will not fight, and I will have no worries."

"My lord, I have formed an alliance with Jiangdong, and I will send people to mourn the funeral now."

"Yeah, what the military adviser said is true, I will send Jian Yong there."

"My lord, you can't, Zhou Yu is an important minister in Jiangdong, I will go there in person..."

"How can the military division go there in person? If Jiangdong seizes the opportunity to detain the military division and threaten to exchange the military division for the four counties, isn't that going to be a sheep?" Liu Bei was very worried, not only worried about Zhuge Liang's safety, but also worried about the territory that the four counties had finally won.

"Don't worry, my lord. After Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su will be in charge of Jiangdong. Lu Su cherishes his reputation and will not make such a bad move. If your lord is worried, you can ask Zilong to go with me. I am going to mourn, but it is actually two families. Luckily, Lu Su will also have this intention, so my going here is as safe as Mount Tai."

In Wujun, when Sun Quan learned that Zhou Yu had died of illness, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and he burst into tears. "Why did Gongjin go like this..."

Zhang Zhao, Bu Zhi and others hurriedly came to persuade, "Dead people cannot be resurrected, my lord mourns."

"I will personally go to Chai Sang to pay homage to Gong Jin."

"My lord is the lord of Jiangdong, so don't move lightly." Yu Fan persuaded, "I would like to go to Chai Sang for my lord."

"What Zhongxiang said is very true. My lord should sit in Wujun, and strictly prevent Cao Cao from sending troops south while the governor is dead." Zhang Zhao agreed.

"Then Zhongxiang and Zishan will take care of me." Sun Quan wiped away his tears, "Gongjinzi is my son, and Zhongxiang will bring his mother and son back to Wu County to take care of him."

Yu Fan and Bu Zhi came to Chaisang. Jiangdong generals Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lu Meng, Tai Shici, Pan Zhang, Zhu Huan, Zhu Ran, Chen Wu, Dong Xi, etc. were already here. Only Ling Tong was still stationed in Xiangyang. Do not come here.

The generals sighed when they met each other, but in just over four months, the commander-in-chief, who talked and laughed happily, left them, how could it not be heartbreaking.Losing the backbone, there is still a trace of fear in everyone's hearts. Not only them, but also Jiangdong's soldiers have regarded Zhou Yu as a god. If Zhou Yu is not around, Cao Cao will raise his army again. Who can stop him?
"Report, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to pay homage, and he has reached the ferry."

"It's just in time." Lu Meng gritted his teeth and said: "My lord wanted to take the four counties, but unfortunately the governor died of illness, but Zhuge Liang sent him to the door himself. I will go and capture him and order Liu Bei to return the four counties."

"Don't be rude!" Lu Su was shocked, "I have formed an alliance with Liu Bei, and now he has sent someone to mourn for the governor. If he is detained, it will be a breach of trust, and a gentleman will not do it."

Cheng Pu also said: "A man should rely on fighting on the battlefield to attack the city and plunder the land. How to use such a child's trick will make the world laugh."

Lu Meng stepped aside one after another and said nothing.Lu Su cupped his hands towards Zhuge Jin: "Please Ziyu go pick up Brother Ling."

Zhuge Jin sighed secretly, brother, why are you doing this.

When Zhuge Liang came to Zhou Yuling, he would inevitably shed a few tears, burn a few sticks of incense, read a few eulogies, and strongly praised Zhou Yu's great achievements. He wanted to express his condolences to Xiao Qiao, but Xiao Qiao had already brought his son back to the mansion.

After the sacrifice, Lu Su talked with Zhuge Liang in the side hall, leaving only Cheng Pu, Yu Fan, and Bu Zhi as companions.

"Thank you, Mr. Kong Ming, for coming to mourn Gongjin."

"Uncle Liu Huang wanted to come here in person, but he was worried that Cao Cao would be harmful to Jingzhou, so he organized troops to help Lord Wu guard Jingzhou. Therefore, he sent me here."

Cheng Pu sneered: "Liu Xuande is trying to plot Jingzhou."

"Why did General Cheng say such a thing? Why should I come here if I am planning to plot Jingzhou? The alliance between Liu and Sun and the destruction of Cao Cao have already been agreed between the two. Uncle Liu, a benevolent and righteous man, would behave like a villain. Come on, the emperor Uncle repeatedly reminded me that even if the governor is not around, the two families will remain in good terms."

Yu Fan corrected: "Mr. Kong Ming is right, since the Sun Liu Alliance should work together, but Liu Xuande wants to support Liu Qi."

"Liu Qi is the son of Liu Biao. Uncle Liu is benevolent and righteous. How can he take away Liu Biao's inheritance?" Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "It's just that I see Jiangdong's civil and military gathering here. Don't you really worry about Cao Cao?"

Buzhi asked, "Then what should be done according to Kong Ming's opinion?"

"Cao Cao's defeat was not only due to the victory of Zhou Dudu's victory over the enemy, but also due to the alliance between our two families. As long as we continue to fight against Cao Cao in the alliance, he will not dare to go south again. Therefore, he hopes that you and my two families will turn against each other, and even go to war, in order to dispel the Cao bandits. With this in mind, my lord would like to invite your lord to be Yangzhou Shepherd and Marquis of Wu, and I dare to ask Marquis Wu to present and invite Liu Qi to be the governor of Jingzhou!"

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, several people looked at each other, and their hearts were already moved. "This is a big matter, and I still need to report it to my lord."

Zhuge Liang came and went in a hurry, only stayed for a short time before leaving.Lu Meng originally wanted to violate the order and keep Zhuge Liang, but seeing Zhao Yun guarding him, he felt that he might not be the opponent, so he had no choice but to give up.

"What Kong Ming said is not unreasonable. I should return to Xiangyang as soon as possible to prepare." Cheng Pu said: "I also ask Zijing to report to the lord, hoping to send more troops to Xiangyang. To be honest, I am more worried that Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to come. Stabilize us and actually stab us in the back."

"It depends on General Cheng." Lu Su cupped his hands, "I, Zhongxiang and Zishan will return to Wu Jun to meet the lord."

Lu Su, Yu Fan and the others were very worried. Cheng Pu was already in his sixties, and his energy and strength were not as good as before. Jingzhou was surrounded by Cao Ren in Fancheng, Wenpin in Jiangxia, and Liu Bei in Wuling. Can he hold on? ?

Several people went to Zhou Yu's mansion again, persuading Xiao Qiao to go back to Wu County with her, but Xiao Qiao insisted on not obeying, and wanted to stay in Chaisang to observe Zhou Yu's filial piety, so they had no choice but to give up.In a few years, Xiao Qiao passed away after being too sad.
