"We can contact Liu Bei again for further cooperation."
Lu Su stepped forward and said, "Leave this matter to me!"
After listening to what they said, Sun Quan agreed: "Joining Liu Bei will cause trouble for Zijing."
"There is also the matter of Huang Zu, is there anything we can do?"
He asked again, his eyes on them, slowly scanning them.
Huang Zu's matter has always been a thorn in their hearts, they can't spit it out, and they can't swallow it. In addition, Sun Jian's revenge has to be avenged, but in Cao Cao's hands, they have nothing to do.
Zhang Zhao sighed: "It's difficult!"
They all found it difficult. It was basically impossible to snatch people from Cao Cao's hands. Furthermore, given Cao Cao's current situation, it was impossible to release Huang Zu.
This person who can help Cao Jun lead the navy to fight is very important to Cao Cao.
None of their counselors could guarantee that Cao Cao could send Huang Zu over.
"Even if we form an alliance with Cao Cao, Cao Cao may not be willing to let him go."
Zhou Yu said.
Sun Quan felt bad again and his face darkened.
Outside the meeting hall.
Sun Shangxiang snorted softly as he listened to their discussion, and then Chen Zhou's hateful-looking face appeared in his mind.
It's all because of that hateful guy, who not only bullied me, but also made their whole family so embarrassed.
"Is there any other way to take revenge?"
Sun Shangxiang was thinking that Chen Zhou had better not fall into his hands.
Otherwise, Chen Zhou will definitely doubt his life!
Sun Quan and the others' discussions with Huang Zu came to no avail at all, so they finally put the matter aside for the time being.
Maybe there will be another chance in the future.
——
"Liu Qi is finally dead."
Chen Zhou was not surprised at all when he received the news.
Cao Gu sighed: "I didn't expect that Liu Bei is also a ruthless person. Not only does he show off his benevolence and righteousness, but he can also be so powerful behind the scenes."
Chen Zhou said: "If you want to achieve great things, you can't do it by relying on benevolence and righteousness alone. Prime Minister Cao also massacred several counties in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei killed a Liu Qi. These are all basic operations."
Although it is true that Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou, Cao Gu inevitably felt embarrassed when he heard Chen Zhou mention it so casually.
"Next, it depends on how Liu Bei clears himself."
Chen Zhou said again.
Cao Gu asked: "Sir, do we want to continue to smear Liu Bei?"
Chen Zhou shook his head and said: "No, you can just do some things two or three times. If you do it too much, it can easily backfire. We don't need to worry about Liu Bei for the time being, but we have to send people to keep an eye on their every move."
Cao Gu said: "Okay!"
"Sir, probably tomorrow, Huang Zu can come to Lujiang. My uncle has conquered him and is willing to help us lead the navy."
"Huang Zu also wants revenge."
he said again.
Chen Zhou was not surprised that Huang Zu was willing to surrender and said, "Okay, I'll go see him tomorrow. After receiving Huang Zu, I think I should go back."
Counting the time, the baby is about to be born.
I have to go back for a walk to reassure the ladies at home. We had the same amount of fun here on vacation, but now we feel bored.
Cao Gu said: "I will make arrangements."
the next day.
Cao Gu came again to inform him that Huang Zu had entered the gate of Wancheng.
Chen Zhou asked someone to take him to Qiao's house.
"Meet sir!"
Huang Zu bowed and saluted with great respect. He also knew very well that Chen Zhou's ability and status could not be disrespected.
Chen Zhou smiled and said: "General Huang, please sit down. Is your injury okay?"
Hearing that he was still concerned about his injury, Huang Zu felt much better and said gratefully, "It won't be a problem anymore."
"I came here this time to train the navy and build warships so that I can kill the big-eared bandits in the future and take revenge. Thank you sir for saving my life and giving me this opportunity."
He bowed gratefully again.
Chen Zhou said: "General Huang, you're welcome. I saved the general out of selfish motives. I wanted the general to help us lead our troops. If you don't think I'm taking advantage of you, it's already pretty good."
Seeing that Chen Zhou was so casual, without any airs, and a gentleman, and with the blessing of saving his life, Huang Zu was full of affection for Chen Zhou, shook his head and said: "Of course not, if it weren't for sir, I wouldn't have known that I was betrayed by a big-eared thief. Damn, that bitch is hateful!"
There is not much to do to receive Huang Zu.
After a brief polite exchange with Huang Zu, Chen Zhou asked people to arrange for Huang Zu to rest in the city temporarily and go to the military camp tomorrow.
Huang Zu also came with a mission this time, preparing to recruit the navy. Cai Mao's alone was not enough to develop the navy. He had to continue to recruit troops. He and Cai Hao still knew each other, and they could do a good job in cooperating with each other. .
Another day passed.
Chen Zhou prepared all the things he wanted to bring back. He said goodbye to Qiao Xuan, took Er Qiao with him, got on the carriage, and headed back to Xudu together.
"Unknowingly, I have been in Lujiang for such a long time."
Qiao Ying smiled and said, "I miss Jing'er at home."
Qiao Shuang said happily: "I wonder if little Jinger can walk. Counting the time, Princess Sister's child should be born soon. I really want to get home as soon as possible."
Chen Zhou said: "Jing'er won't be able to walk so soon, right? As for Ling'er's child, it is indeed about to be born, so we have to go back as soon as possible."
Qiao Ying said gently: "My husband still cares about us."
Chen Zhou hugged them, hugging them from left to right, and said softly: "I am your husband, how can I not care about you? Don't think nonsense, got it?"
"knew!"
they said in unison.
The voice was soft and pleasant, and she snuggled into Chen Zhou's arms.
Qiao Shuang said: "Husband, how come we have been together for so long and we haven't conceived a child yet?"
This is a good question.
Chen Zhou was not a doctor. He didn't know how to answer for a while. He thought for a while and said, "Maybe our efforts are not enough."
Qiao Ying said shyly: "Isn't this enough? We have worked very hard."
You have indeed worked very hard, but when it comes to conceiving a child, sometimes you may not succeed despite your efforts.
"When we go back, we will continue to work hard."
Chen Zhou said.
The carriage continued back to Xudu. After walking for a long time, it finally entered the gate of Xudu.
When I returned home, the first thing that greeted me was cheers.
"My husband is finally back."
They walked out happily.
"Where's Jing'er?"
Chen Zhou asked: "Come here and let me hug you."
At this time, little Jing'er could really walk. She came over with some staggering, and Chen Zhou directly took her into his arms.
The brat couldn't speak yet, but he already knew how to recognize people. He recognized Chen Zhou at a glance, hugged Chen Zhou's neck, and smiled so happily.
"Where's Ling'er?"
Chen Zhou said again.
"Husband, I am here."
Liu Ling then walked out and said, "Our child is coming soon."
Chen Zhou saw Liu Ling's big belly and said quickly: "Ling'er, stop walking around and sit down quickly."
Liu Ling said: "Husband, don't be nervous! I can still walk and don't feel anything wrong."
Even if everything was fine now, Chen Zhou did not dare to let her continue walking around and had to sit down and rest.
