Zhang Tianhe's room.
After Tang Dalong, Li Tieniu and others left, only Du Lisi and Zhang Tianhe were left in the room, and they rested together.
The two of them had their own thoughts and couldn't sleep as they tossed and turned.
"Brother, are you asleep?" Zhang Tianhe sat up and asked Du Lisi.
"Brother, not yet." Du Lisi responded.
"Since we can't sleep, let's talk about it again."
"Okay, brother, what do you want to talk about?" Du Lisi said and sat up.
"Today, I heard from Mr. Wu that he told you a story about the turn of eight worshippers in history, right?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
"yes."
"Then let me tell you the story of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu going to court to worship their mother." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Okay, brother, please tell me, I'm all ears."
"During the Three Kingdoms period, what we heard most was the story of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, Liu Guan and Zhang. Little did we know that the friendship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong was not inferior to Liu Guan and Zhang, and it even became a good story," Zhang Tianhe said. You have a good relationship with Sun Ce. They were born in the same year. They are both handsome. Sun Ce is very powerful and is known as the "Little Overlord" and "Sun Lang". Zhou Yu is even more elegant, heroic, and suave. Known as "Zhou Lang", Zhou Yu came from a noble family. His grandfather was Zhou Jing and his uncle was Zhou Zhong. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, they both served as Taiwei. His father, Zhou Yiguan, came to Luoyang and had a prominent family background. Later, Dong Zhuo He led the Xiliang army to attack the capital, secretly deposed the emperor, messed up the harem, and corrupted the imperial court. He did all kinds of evil and did whatever he wanted, and everyone in the country hated him. In the first year of Chuping, that is, 190 AD, Sun Ce's father Sun Jian joined forces with Yuan Shu to attack Dong Zhuo and Zhou Yu took the initiative to visit Sun Ce's home and persuaded Sun Ce to move from Fuchun to his home in Shu County. In this way, the fifteen-year-old Sun Ce borrowed money to live in Zhou Yu's home. In order to accommodate Sun Ce, Zhou Yu deliberately moved the largest house in his family He left it to Sun Ce's family to live in. The two even became brothers, and a formal ceremony was held in the hall of Zhou Yu's home. Zhou Yu recognized Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, as his mother. Sun Ce was one month older than Zhou Yu. , as brothers, this was the beginning of their life-long fate. From then on, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were of the same flesh and blood, practicing martial arts, swordsmanship, and art of war together. They also often made friends with famous people in the south of the Yangtze River. The world called them the "Jiangdong Twins." Born into a prestigious aristocracy, one is a literary and elegant person with a far-reaching reputation, while the other is a young and heroic young man with ambitions to conquer the world. The two people grew up in the same environment and shared the same hobbies, so they have a lot in common."
"What happened next?" Du Lisi was stunned and couldn't help but ask.
"Later, in the third year of Chuping, that is, in April of 192 AD, Sun Jian was plotted against Liu Biao and killed by an arrow. Sun Ce, who was seventeen years old at the time, had to move his family to Jiangdu after his father was buried in Qu'a. The anger of revenge burned in Sun Ce's heart. A year later, Sun Ce ended up keeping filial piety for his father. He found his father's old boss at the time, Yuan Shu, hoping to recall his father's subordinates to avenge his father. However, Yuan Shu saw that Sun Ce was so arrogant and brave. , was afraid that raising tigers would endanger him, but it was reasonable for Sun Ce to return to his father's old army, so he said: "Your uncle Wu Jing is now relying on me to become the governor of Danyang. Your younger brother is also there. You can go and join them." So he said He neither essentially rejected Sun Ce nor gave him any soldiers. Sun Ce had no choice but to take his mother and move to Danyang and recruit troops locally."
"That being said, Yuan Shu is cunning enough." Du Lisi said.
"That's natural. Yuan Shu was also a prince, and later he became emperor. The young Sun Ce knew how to be patient. He knew that he was weak and had to listen to Yuan Shu's orders. Later, he used the inheritance that his father Sun Jian had exchanged for his life. In order to secure the account, Sun Ce transferred back Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and other generals from Yuan Shu, and borrowed thousands of troops to lead his troops east across the Yangtze River to attack Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. Sun Ce felt that his strength was still very weak. , so he wrote to Zhou Yu. After receiving Sun Ce's letter, Zhou Yu immediately went to support with his close associates and brought a lot of money, food, and weapons. Sun Ce was overjoyed. In this way, they quickly captured Hengjiang and made a profit. , led his troops across the river, captured Hushu, and defeated Liu Yao. In the continuous battles, Sun Ce's team was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. At this time, it had grown to tens of thousands, and their brothers' The relationship has also been further deepened during the years of military service."
"Zhou Yu is also very generous this time." Du Lisi.
"Yes, at this time, Zhou Yu's military talents gradually emerged in successive years of battles, and his reputation became more and more popular. Yuan Shu wanted to win over him and use him for his own purposes, so he sent an envoy carrying a large sum of money to discuss with him. However, Zhou Yu felt that Yuan Shu was too small in size, had great ambitions and few talents, and was only seeking fame and reputation. He was not a wise master. In these troubled times, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything. However, his good brother Sun Ce had always had a long-cherished wish to unify Jiangdong. At this time, it was the time to hire someone. , how could you abandon him? So, he flatly rejected Yuan Shu, left Shouchun and returned to Sun Ce in the third year of Jian'an, that is, 198 AD." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Zhou Yu knows people and is knowledgeable." Du Lisi praised.
"Yes, but Sun Ce did not treat Zhou Yu badly. He specially set up the position of Jianwei Zhonglang General for Zhou Yu, with a status second only to the general. From then on, Zhou Yu became the second-in-command in Sun Ce's army. That's where One year, Sun Ce successfully captured Wancheng with the help of Zhou Yu. In the eastern suburbs of Wancheng, Qiao Guolao had two daughters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Both of them were beautiful and fragrant, and they were beautiful and beautiful. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu heard that the two women were not only beautiful but also talented, so they came to propose marriage to Mr. Qiao. Mr. Qiao heard that the two were young heroes and talented people from Jiangdong, so he agreed to their marriage. So Sun Ce married Da Qiao, and Zhou Yu married Xiao Qiao, and a beauty paired with a hero became a good story in the Three Kingdoms period. At this point, the two are not only good brothers, but also brothers-in-law, and their relationship has become closer."
"Beautiful women love heroes. This is indeed true." Du Lisi said.
"In the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, 200 AD, Sun Ce was preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains to welcome Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Once while hunting in Dantu Mountain, he was shot in the face by an assassin from Xu Gong, the former prefect of Wu County. The arrow was poisonous and shot It was very deep. The doctor said that the injury was very serious and needed to be recuperated quietly. He should not be angry within a hundred days, otherwise the arrow sore would recur and his life would be in danger. However, Sun Ce did not think so and still went his own way. He first killed an old man who had done good deeds and accumulated good deeds in anger, saying that he He deceived the public with his lies in public, and later learned that Cao Cao's army was going south. He was angry with his subordinates for not reporting it, so he insisted on leading his troops to conquer. When he mounted his horse, the sore from his arrow burst out, and he died unexpectedly at the age of 18. Only twenty-six years old, before his death, he passed the throne to his younger brother Sun Quan, and left a fourteen-character last words, "If you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao, if you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu." From this This shows Zhou Yu’s military status in his mind.”
"I'm really jealous of the talent!" Du Lisi said with a sigh.
"After Sun Ce died, Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong. He was only 18 years old. It was Zhou Yu who took the lead in paying homage to Sun Quan. Seeing how Zhou Yu treated Sun Quan, all the civil and military officials knelt down and worshiped Sun Quan, perhaps out of gratitude. Sun Ce's kindness, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, both civil and military, tried their best to assist Sun Quan, and Sun Quan also lived up to expectations. In the battle of Chibi, the veteran Huang Gai offered a bitter trick, and Zhou Yu attacked Huang Gai. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. They deceived Cao Cao and used fire attacks. As a result, Cao Cao's 830,000-strong army was wiped out. From then on, Zhou Yu became famous in one battle and became famous all over the world. This laid the foundation for Soochow to have one of three parts of the world."
"Zhou Yu's military use is as good as that of the famous Warring States general Bai Qi and Han Xin, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty." Du Lisi said in praise.
"Later, Cao Cao retreated to the north. Before leaving, he secretly gave Cao Ren, the guard of Nanjun, a clever plan. Zhou Yu made an appointment with Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang asked him to capture Nanjun first. If he could not capture Nanjun within a month, then Liu Bei and the others would have to do it. When he went to get it, Zhou Yu was eager to capture Nanjun and led his troops in a sneak attack. As a result, he accidentally fell into an ambush by Cao Ren and was shot by random arrows. The arrows were also poisonous. He was seriously injured. Later, Zhuge Liang was angry with Zhou Yu for three times. Finally, he was so angry that the arrow wound recurred. , died in Baqiu, at the age of thirty-six."
"Zhou Yu also died young. If he hadn't died so early, Sun Quan might still be able to rule the world." Du Lisi said.
"It's hard to say. Zhou Yu assisted Jiangdong all his life. He first helped Sun Ce establish his business and made great contributions. Then he helped Sun Quan develop and grow. He worked hard. When Zhou Yu died, Sun Quan personally paid tribute to him and praised him for his talent as a king. Although It is said that Zhou Yu died young, but his elegant demeanor and extraordinary courage have long won the admiration of people all over the world. His relationship with Sun Ce as a monarch and his ministers is even more valuable in the rolling world of history. It is precisely because of Zhou Yu's support With his followers, Sun Ce was able to defeat Liu Yao in one fell swoop and laid a century-old foundation for unifying Jiangdong. When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu first met, they were not inferior to Cao Cao and Guo Jia. Their monarchs and ministers joined forces to gallop on the battlefield and fight for the world. After losing to Liu Guanzhang, Sun Ce was accidentally shot and killed by an arrow. When he asked Zhou Yu to be alone in the critical situation, he did not lose to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. Therefore, the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu is famous in history and passed down as a good story, which is worthy of our descendants to learn from. "
"Brother, you are really knowledgeable and talented. After hearing what you said, and thinking about what I did before, compared to the two brothers Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, I feel ashamed and ashamed," Du Lisi said, "Don't worry , From now on, we brothers will share weal and woe, follow the example of their ancients, and be a pair of brothers who live and die together."
"Brother, are you telling the truth?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
"Brother, that must be sincere. Don't worry. From now on, you can just look at my performance, brother." Du Lisi said.
"It's just like what brother said, that's great," Zhang Tianhe said, "Ren Zhanbiao from Hongmakan and the Japanese military police are preparing to attack us. You have to be careful."
"He is just a young boy, nothing special. If he dares to cause trouble for you, tell me and see if I don't beat him up." Du Lisi said.
"Brother, Ren Zhanbiao is no longer what he used to be. Don't be careless." Zhang Tianhe reminded him.
"Is he really that powerful? If I have the chance, I will definitely meet him." Du Lisi said unconvinced.
