Zhou Yu rushed to Chaisang overnight and moved into Sun Quan's villa in Chaisang.
Zhou Yu's hometown is not in Chaisang, so there is no possibility that Zhou Yu will get jealous of Xiao Qiao after returning. This is an artistic processing of the TV series. In order to show the harmony between Zhou Yu and his wife, it will pave the way for Zhuge Liang to provoke Zhou Yu later.
In fact, it is the original text of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". At this time, Zhou Yu also went to Chaisang alone, without Xiao Qiao by his side.
Therefore, when Lu Su led Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi to visit Zhou Yu, Zhang Xi also failed to see what Xiao Qiao, a world-famous beauty, looked like.
Well, even if Xiao Qiao is here, Zhou Yu probably won't let Xiao Qiao come out to do a sword dance or something, unless Zhou Yu is confused.
Lu Su led Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi to meet Zhou Yu and gave a brief self-introduction to both parties.
Zhou Yu was not familiar with Zhuge Liang and treated him politely as a guest, but he treated Zhang Xi.
"Farewell to E County, General, are you okay?!"
Zhou Yu smiled and greeted Zhang Xi, as if he was very affectionate.
Although Zhang Xi is now dressed as a scholar, Zhou Yu knows that Zhang Xi is the postal governor of Jiangxia and the city guard of E County, so he still calls Zhang Xi a military general.
These days, people pay attention to the appearance of generals and ministers. Unless it is a formal occasion, everyone will dress differently to distinguish between civil and military uniforms. Private uniforms are not distinguished, so Zhou Yu calls Zhang Xi a general. Although it is suspected of being a compliment, it cannot be wrong.
Zhang Xi also quickly smiled and saluted, and responded modestly, "I have heard about Jiangdong Zhou Lang's style for a long time. In the past, each of them was his own master and could not meet each other. But when we see him today, he is indeed incomparable in style."
When the two met, they didn't seem at all tense because they had been hostile before.
In these days, the world is in chaos, and everyone is their own master. Of course, they are fighting with all their strength on the battlefield, but there are also many generals from the opposing forces who have good relationships with each other in private.
For example, Guan Yu has a good relationship with Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others from Cao Cao's camp, but Zhang Liao also had a fight with Er Ye, and Xu Huang also directly faced Er Ye in the Battle of Xiangfan.
Therefore, when the two met, they complimented each other, including Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, and laughed to set off each other's atmosphere.
Then Zhou Yu, as the half-owner of the other courtyard, asked the three of them to sit down and then said, "Yu rushed back from Poyang, but the three of them came to visit overnight. I wonder what is important?!"
As the introducer, Lu Su immediately took over the topic and said, "Does Gong Jin know that now that Cao Cao has annexed Jingzhou, he intends to look at Jiangdong?!"
Zhou Yu smiled, nodded, and said, "I also know about this. But I don't know what Zijing thinks?!"
Lu Su was also stunned.
I'm here to ask you, what do you mean by asking me in turn? !
But Lu Su still answered truthfully.
"Su thought that the troops in Jiangdong were well-prepared, and they also had the advantage of using boats. My lord, Fen III, has so many survivors, and all the generals want to fight to the death, why should they surrender to others?!" Lu Su said seriously.
Zhou Yu listened, but was noncommittal. He glanced at Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi, and then asked, "My lord, do you have a decision on this matter?!"
Lu Su also shook his head slightly and said, "We are waiting for the main battle, but Mr. Zibu and others persuaded the lord to surrender to Cao, and the lord was worried about this matter day and night. Su thought that a decision should be made early, so he came to ask Gong Jin to come forward and persuade the lord. Resist Cao."
At this time, Zhou Yu still shook his head and said, "This matter is of great importance. My lord has made his own decision and we will just follow your orders."
Lu Su suddenly became anxious and looked at Zhou Yu in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but seemed to be concerned about the presence of Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi, so he finally held back.
As for Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi, they didn't say a word at all and watched the whole show.
Zhuge Liang was looking for a suitable time to explain the benefits of the Sun-Liu alliance.
As for Zhang Xi, this guy is just watching a show.
Now that the Confucian Confucians are fighting with each other, it is estimated that the matter of inspiring Zhou Yu with wisdom will also be on the line.
But Zhang Xi was very curious, would Zhuge Liang make trouble with Er Qiao again? !
In the original work, the strategy used to stimulate Zhou Yu's intelligence is very low-level and insults the intelligence of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.
Not to mention that Cao Cao could not retreat because of two women, but to talk about someone else's concubine in front of his face and offer a trick to cuckold Zhou Yu. His emotional intelligence was worrying if he could come up with such a trick. No wonder Zhang Shicheng didn't listen to him.
Even if Zhuge Liang knew that Zhou Yu was pretending, there is no good way to provoke Zhou Yu. If you have to provoke someone with his wife, you are not afraid that they will hold grudges afterwards. Oh, the underlying reason why Zhou Yu wanted to kill Zhuge Liang has been found.
Well, no matter what, Zhang Xi is just watching the show to see what Zhuge Liang will do next.
In the end, Zhuge Liang actually did nothing. He just kept his head down and drank without saying a word.
In the end, Zhou Yu couldn't continue the performance and had to pretend to ask questions, saying, "Cao's army is approaching, and these two gentlemen are not stationed in Jiangxia to help Liu Yuzhou fight against Cao Cao, but why did they come to Jiangdong?!"
Lu Su quickly replied, saying that Sun Quan sent him to Jiangdong to invite Mr. Zhuge to discuss an alliance between the two families to defeat Cao's army.
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I heard that Liu Yuzhou abandoned Xinye, was defeated in Dangyang, and led the remaining army to retreat to Xiakou. Now, he came to Jiangdong to ask for help?!"
This is true, but Zhang Xi doesn't like hearing it.
Why do people these days speak so without emotional intelligence? !
Besides, everyone is almost like grasshoppers in a line. If the eldest brother doesn’t talk about the second brother, the big-headed fish won’t think that Cao Cao can be defeated by Jiangdong’s power alone, right? !
Apart from anything else, do you have the geographical advantage? !
Chibi is in Jiangxia. Without Jiangxia, it depends on how you fight the battle of Chibi.
Zhang Xi was very unhappy. He felt that Zhou Yu's pretentious behavior was unacceptable. If he had this skill, it would be better to talk about it and discuss openly and honestly how to repel Cao's soldiers.
But Zhuge Liang seemed to agree with this way of speaking. He said unhurriedly, "Today Cao's army has millions of troops and thousands of good generals. They will seize Jingzhou without fighting. Based on the dangers of the Yangtze River, Liang's visit to Jiangdong is actually a danger to the safety of Jiangdong." Come."
When Zhou Yu heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Sir, you are exaggerating. Moreover, our Lord has not yet made a decision. Whether it is war or peace has not yet been decided. Mr. Kong Ming wants to run for Liu Yuzhou and persuade me to fight against Cao in Jiangdong. How dare he say no?" Coming for help?!”
Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry and continued, "Although my lord is in danger, he still has Jiangxia in his hands. There are still more than 10,000 navy troops and 30,000 army troops. They are not without the strength to fight. How can I ask for help? And my lord He is a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a hero of the time. In order to support the Han Dynasty, he was sworn in with Cao Cao's thieves. Even if he was defeated and died, he could still leave his name in Qing history. But he didn't know what kind of preferential treatment he would get after Sun Tui surrendered to Cao?! "
Zhou Yu glanced at Zhuge Liang lightly and said disdainfully, "My lord has no grudge against Cao Cao. If he surrenders the land east of the Yangtze River, he will not lose his status as a lord. How can he not receive preferential treatment?! On the contrary, if Liu Yuzhou is If Cao Cao breaks it, you may die without a burial place."
Zhang Xi really couldn't listen anymore. The two of them went around for a long time, asking whether Liu Bei was in desperate need and asked for help. What was the point? !
Zhou Yu even said something about "lifting the land east of the Yangtze River and surrendering it". What a joke. Aren't you afraid that Sun Ce would talk to you in the middle of the night? ! !
Looking at Lu Su again, I found that now Lu Su actually closed his eyes and listened without saying a word. Did Lu Su hope that the two would quarrel and then the Sun-Liu alliance would break up? !
Zhang Xi really didn't understand why these three behaved like this, especially since Zhang Xi knew Zhou Yu's true attitude, why did he have to argue with Zhuge Liang about whether Liu Bei was asking for help or forming an alliance, and finally said that it didn't matter if he surrendered Cao Cao? .
At first, Zhang Xi could bear it, but when he heard Zhou Yu say surrender, Zhang Xi couldn't bear it any more. He immediately interrupted and said, "Why did the general make such nonsense?!"
Zhou Yu didn't expect Zhang Xi's intervention, and neither did Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out what Zhang Xi was going to say for a while, but as his deputy, Zhang Xi didn't just come to watch the show with a smile, he also had the right to speak.
At that moment, Zhuge Liang remained silent and let Zhang Xi speak.
Zhou Yu smiled, turned to Zhang Xi, and asked, "I wonder what General Zhang has to say?!"
Zhang Xi looked at Zhuge Liang and didn't find that Zhuge Liang had any intention to stop him from speaking, so he didn't have any worries and said what he had been holding back for a long time.
"Now there are only four of us in this room, so why would the general make such a mockery of himself and say such words of surrender?!" Zhang Xi said seriously to Zhou Yu, "Xi once heard that Sun Tuini was here in the past. , the general and Sun Tui Ni are like brothers, and many of Jiangdong's foundations are attributed to the general. I even heard that General Sun Tui Lu regards the general as his brother, and often entrusts the general with the whole country's troops. The general is so kind to the Sun family that he will never be able to do this. On the subject of surrendering Cao Cao, otherwise, how would you have the face to see General Sun Tuulu, and how would you have the face to see Sun Tui rebel underground a hundred years later?!"
After saying this, Zhou Yu's face turned red and white, and Zhuge Liang and Lu Su also looked at Zhang Xi in surprise.
Is this guy really going to say something like this? !
Also, the key question now is, should Zhou Yu resist Cao Cao or surrender to Cao Cao? !
But Zhang Xi had already said what he said, and Zhuge Liang could only help make up for it, saying, "Chief Yuan is young and does not know the importance of what he said. I hope the general will respect him."
After saying that, he quickly glanced at Zhang Xi secretly and told Zhang Xi to stop talking.
Zhou Yu, on the other hand, changed his expression for a long time, but finally sighed with shame, stood up and said, "What General Zhang said is true. It was indeed Yu who made a mistake just now. A true man lives in the world, and when he meets his master, he trusts the righteousness of the king and his ministers. With the kindness of our flesh and blood, our words must be followed, our plans must be followed, and we share the blessings and misfortunes. Yu can only fight to the death to protect Jiangdong in order to repay our lord's kindness, and he should not play tricks with his words of surrender to Cao Cao."
After saying that, Zhou Yu bowed to Zhang Xi seriously, which made Zhang Xi quickly stand up and return the bow.
But after Zhou Yu finished his salute, he turned around and instantly changed his face to Zhuge Liang and said, "However, Jiangdong will decide the matter in Jiangdong. Liu Yuzhou sent Mr. Liu to Jiangdong to form an alliance or to be out of power." We agree, but I need your husband to make it clear to me!"
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly, looked at Zhang Xi next to him, reluctantly handed over his hand, and said, "My lord is not without the strength to fight. However, now the Cao thieves are powerful and the Sun and Liu families are weak. The only way for the two families to work together is to benefit from each other." Resist the Cao thieves. If you get entangled in such trivial matters, I'm afraid the Cao thieves will take advantage of you."
"No!" Zhou Yu still waved his hand and said, "Although Cao's thieves are powerful now, the troops in the north are equipped with saddles and horses, and they are not accustomed to the water and soil, but they want to compete with me on the water east of the Yangtze River. I also have a strategy to defeat the enemy, so there is nothing to be afraid of. you."
"Hey, Gong Jin, don't be careless!" Lu Su finally spoke, "As Mr. Kong Ming said, Cao's army is powerful, and if the Sun and Liu families work together, they can keep the enemy at bay. If the two families fight separately, I'm afraid They were defeated one by one by Cao Jun."
"Zijing's words are wrong."
