The northwest wind roared furiously, and the sea surface was already frozen. Looking around, there was a dead silence. The bone-chilling cold made the world seem to have stopped.
There were only a few lonely figures on the vast shore. Although a flame was lit in front of them, it could not dispel the chilling atmosphere that filled the world.
Standing here are Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, father and son. Although they had suspected that they were involved in a conspiracy, they heard that the person behind the scenes was actually Wu Guotai. Sun Ce, the first hero, was destroyed at the hands of a woman. Zhou Yu couldn't help himself. He fainted with a cry.
After waking up, the three of them went to the seaside to worship in the southeast. Sun Ce's token was built on the rocks on the coast, and the ancient ingot knife was inserted in the cracks of the stone, like that unyielding man looking up to the sky and roaring.
The little bully from Jiangdong was actually murdered by his own family. After his death, his resentment will definitely break through Niu Dou, right?
The cold wind was blowing, but it was not as desolate as Zhou Yu's heart at this moment. From childhood best friends to life and death friends, to Ming Dynasty wise ministers, a vigorous and great cause came to an abrupt end. How could it not be sad?
Taishi Ci stood with his hands behind his hands and sighed: "The old lady took poison and died. Zhongmou is considered an innocent person. He is willing to give Jiangdong to Liu Boxi to forgive his sin. Now Bo Fu Shen's injustice has been avenged, but this matter is related to the reputation of the Sun family." , the late master is also a hero in this world, the family scandal should not be made public, the governor, please express your condolences!"
Zhou Yu was an unusual person, so he calmed down, turned around and saw Taishi Ci with pale hair and beard, and smiled bitterly: "Zi Yi is old!"
Taishi Ci was startled, then laughed and said: "A man has made great achievements, how can he dare to talk about his elders? In ancient times, Lian Po fought for seventy years, and now Huang Zhong and Yan Yan are strong and strong. Huang Gongfu also responded to us in Huainan. You and I are under the influence of Liu Qi Are you going to repay Zhaoxue for his kindness in surviving?"
Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly gleaming, he stared at the ancient ingot sword, and said slowly: "Although Bo Fu is dead, you and I have been entrusted with the responsibility of Gu Gu. We should continue his ambition and build achievements again. One day, we will defeat thieves and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and return home in rich clothes. Only then can we be in front of the tomb." Let's drink and chat with Bo Fu, otherwise, what shame would I have before returning to Jiangdong?"
"What the Governor said is magnificent!" Tai Shici nodded and said, "Now that Cao Cao's traitor returns to the Central Plains, there will be a fierce battle. General Liu Boxi will go to Huainan to supervise the battle. We will respond from the north and the south, and we will definitely be able to complete Bo Fu's ambition of the Northern Expedition."
"Liu Boxei actually went to Huainan?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised and asked, "Who is the plotter and who is the general?"
Taishi Ci said: "Except for the close servants, there is no one else. They are all from the old Jiangdong tribe."
"Oh?" Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled: "Liu Boxei is quite magnanimous."
Taishi Ci shook his head and sighed: "The strength of the troops in Huainan today is not as good as before. If Liu Qi really defeats Cao Cao with this army, Sun Zhongmou... may make him laugh for thousands of years!"
Zhou Yu thought that he had confided in Sun Quan before, but he ended up like this. In addition, he and Taishi Ci and others were almost killed, and he suddenly felt resentful in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Isn't it enough to just fight in Hefei?"
"Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find!" Thinking of the two Huainan battles, Taishi Ci was also greatly disappointed with Sun Quan's command of the army, and his expectations for Liu Qi were even higher.
Jiangdong's shocking conspiracy was revealed, and both of them seemed to be reborn, so they bowed to the southeast again and turned back to the city.
Zhou Yu looked back at the reef from time to time. The past events were like fish and shrimps hidden under the ice. When Cao Xinghan was destroyed, the scorching sun would eventually melt it all away. At that time, he would go boating on the river and face the bright moon with Sun Ce in the distance. Mu Qingfeng ended his remaining life.
Ding Feng and others did not know the inside story of Ganlu Temple and thought that Zhou Yu went to the seaside to pay homage to Wu Guotai. Everyone was worried about Sun Quan and handed over Soochow to Liu Qi. Wouldn't it be a welcome to the tiger?
Liu Zhang had learned from his mistakes right in front of him, so he did such a foolish thing. Could it be that he was overly sad and confused his mind?
Just as he was complaining that Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others had not fulfilled their duties as ministers, suddenly the defenders came to report. An angel arrived and an imperial edict was issued.
Ding Feng said in surprise: "Marquis Wu is in Jiangdong, how come the imperial edict was issued here? Could it be that even Your Majesty is confused?"
"Chengyuan be careful!" Zhou Yu glanced at Ding Feng and sneered: "This must be Cao's thief's plan, please come in."
Not long after, the envoy arrived at the government office. Zhou Yu had already ordered people to prepare the incense case to receive the order. The edict bluntly stated that Sun Quan was plotting against Liu Qi. There was an emergency in Jiangdong. Zhou Yu was made the General of the Southern Conquest and the Marquis of Wancheng, and he followed Prime Minister Cao to go south to conquer.
Zhou Yu listened but did not accept the order. He stood up and said: "Since my lord took over Jiangdong, the territory has been peaceful and the people are happy. Why send troops? Zhou Yu was a Han official, not a Wei official. How could he listen to Cao Cao's thieves? Order?"
The envoy was just following orders. Seeing that Zhou Yu was angry, he did not dare to say anything and left the city in embarrassment.
Ding Feng and others even scolded Cao Cao for being shameless and sowing discord. They actually tried to get Zhou Yu to follow his orders and counterattack Soochow. Do you really think that all the people in Jiangdong are the people of Chao Qin and Mu Chu?
Tai Shici sneered and said, "Could it be that Cao Cao's head was frozen during his trip to the north of Saibei, so he actually issued such an edict?"
Zhou Yu said, "Cao's thieves knew that this edict was useless, but they did it deliberately. There must be an agenda: before the two families stopped their troops, Cao Pi asked me to be the governor of Qingzhou. It was difficult for Cao's thieves to send troops, so he issued the edict. If I resist and disobey the edict, Then you can become a famous teacher!"
Tai Shici said coldly: "In the past, the traitor Cao massacred many innocent people to avenge his father. Now that he is here again, it will definitely be difficult for him to step into Qingzhou again."
When the war was about to begin, Zhou Yu ordered his generals to prepare, send more scouts, and train their troops so that they could send out troops at any time.
A few days later, Xu Sheng sent someone to report urgently. As expected, Cao Cao had sent troops to Xuzhou according to the order. He ordered Xiahou Dun to march to the Jibei area. The vanguard Cheng Xi had led 5,000 troops to Linzi.
Taishi Ci said: "Cao's army was repeatedly defeated by the governor and lost Qingzhou. This must be because Cao's thieves are dissatisfied and want to attack the governor. I am willing to be the pioneer!"
"How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife?" Zhou Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Cheng Xi can't beat his defeated generals. It's just in the front. Why bother to take action?"
Taishi Ci clasped his fists and said, "I haven't fought for several years and am just about to stretch my muscles. I am willing to be the vanguard."
Zhou Yu said: "I have already ordered Xu Sheng to guard Linzi. It is enough for Chengyuan to go to support! Xiahou Dun must not know that Ziyi is in the army. When the enemy is defeated, they will advance together and kill Xiahou Dun by surprise."
Taishi Ci had no choice but to suppress his mood temporarily and let Ding Feng step forward to take the order. Suddenly he remembered something and asked him to bring the ancient ingot sword to Linzi and give it to Xu Sheng for use.
Ding Feng wondered: "This is the treasured sword passed down by the Sun family. It is like the Marquis of Wu coming in person. It should be in charge of the governor. Why should it be given to General Xu?"
Taishi Ci sighed secretly in his heart, but smiled on his face: "The general does not know that Wu Guotai gave this sword to Liu Boxi before his death. He told Sun and Liu to live in harmony and not fight among themselves. It is no longer the property of the Sun family! This sword was actually given to Xu by Liu Boxi. General too!"
"Why is this?" Zhou Yu understood that Sun Quan gave the ancient ingot sword to Liu Qi, which was a clean break with the Sun family.
Although this sword has lost its meaning to the Sun family, it is still a sword that can cut iron like clay. Why did Liu Qi give it to Xu Sheng?
Taishi Ci curled his lips helplessly and said: "General Liu only said: When I first met Xu Sheng, I admired him very much!"
Ding Feng took the sword and rushed to Linzi with the boring gourd. He passed the order to General Zhou Yu and handed over the ancient ingot sword.
Xu Sheng took the sword, but after hearing this, he couldn't understand why. He pulled out the sword with a clang, and saw that the blade was snow-white, like a cold wave flowing around. He grinned and said: "Someone has this sword. I can break the army and capture the enemy. I will live up to General Liu's trust!" "
