Zhou Shan failed and died in Quanling. Wu Zuo and Wu You, who took Zhou Shan's boat back to Jiangdong, arrived in Jianye a few days later.
The two planned to return to their hometown in Wu County, but the boatman wanted to stop in Jianye for supplies, so they followed them ashore into the city.
Jianye was originally called Moling. After Sun Quan's expansion, it became more magnificent. Its scale was much larger than that of Wu County. When the two returned to the land of Jiangdong, they suddenly felt like crying.
Ever since Sun Shangxiang was defeated at the hands of Lu Lingqi, the two brothers' life has never been easy. Now they have some gold and silver in their arms, and they are wondering if there will be some Jiangnan beauties in this new institution.
When the two of them were in Wu County, they were forcibly sent to Sun Shangxiang's dowry ship by the Wu family because of their long-term relationship with Fengyue.
Wu You grinned and asked, "Coax...oh, yeah..."
Because of his leaky teeth, only Wu Zuo could understand what he said now. His words were not serious.
Wu Zuo pointed at him and smiled: "Look at you like that...but we should relax..."
Although it was the first time for the two brothers to come to Jianye, they found Fengyuechang with their keen sense. When they were about to enter, someone suddenly held their shoulders from behind.
This feeling is too familiar. When I was in Jiangling, I was dominated by Zhao Yun's people like this.
Wu Zuo and Wu You swallowed their saliva and turned around to find that they were soldiers from Jiangdong. While the two were wondering, an officer approached and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, please invite me."
Jianye's palace was grander than that of Wu County. When Sun Quan asked people to expand the city, it was to reflect the difference from Sun Ce's.
Compared with Jiangling City, which is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and free in Quanling City, Jianye's defense is much tighter. It is connected from the dock to the city defense. Therefore, as soon as the two brothers got off the boat, they were set up in the city by Sun Quan. The secret guard discovered.
"I sent Zhou Shan to Jingzhou for business. Why are you two brothers the only ones back? Where have the others gone?" At this time, the weather turned from warm to hot, and Sun Quan summoned the two brothers at the pavilion in the garden.
Wu Zuo and Wu You were sitting at the stone table drinking local wine, but Sun Quan asked such an important question without even saying a few words. They immediately stood up nervously because they remembered Sun Shangxiang's instructions not to talk nonsense.
Wu You grinned and bumped Wu Zuo with his elbow, meaning that now that I'm leaking something, it's up to you to tell the Lord.
Wu Zuo swallowed his saliva and answered carefully: "Weiwei Zhou said he was going to Lingling. We missed our hometown and came back first..."
Sun Quan frowned and raised his eyes, and his tone became more serious: "You two and your little sister have only been to Jingzhou for a few years, and you have so quickly regarded yourself as a member of the Liu family? Why did Zhou Shan go to Lingling? Why did you go to Jingzhou again? Don’t you want to go?”
Seeing Sun Quan's anger, Wu Zuo had no choice but to say: "The guards of Zhou are going to Lingling to kidnap Liu Bei's son. We are afraid..."
"Huh? Liu Xuande's eldest son is not in Jiangling?" Sun Quan was very confused.
"Before Liu Shijun entered Sichuan, he asked General Lan to take the crown prince to Lingling..." Wu Zuo explained quickly.
"Guan Yunchang is in Jiangxia, Zhang Yide and Zhuge Kongming are in Jiangling, and Liu Bei actually handed over his son to an outsider? What is going on?" Sun Quan suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
Wu Zuo was even more puzzled. Could it be that his lord didn't know about the relationship between Liu Bei and Lan Tian?
"Lan Ziyu is Liu Shijun's brother-in-law, and Adou is his nephew. Doesn't my lord know that?" Brothers Wu Zuo and Wu You both had questions on their faces.
Sun Quan stood up suddenly, looking extremely shocked, which scared Wu Zuo and Wu You back.
Lantian, Liu Qi, Liu Bei, brother-in-law, Jingzhou...
Sun Quan connected several key words together, and instantly felt that the wine he had just drank into his throat was unpleasant. Now he thought about why Liu Bei could easily occupy Jingzhou, and why Lu Fan sent so much gold and silver but it didn't work. All of this is related to That's related to Lantian.
This guy hid so deeply that he deceived Zhou Gongjin, deceived Lu Zijing, and also deceived himself.
Lan Tian is Liu Bei's brother-in-law and holds the military and political power of the four counties in Jingnan. So isn't the girl he married to Jingzhou a waste of money?
Sun Quan sat down again after being stunned for a moment. He pretended to be calm and said to the two of them: "Sit down, drink some hometown wine, and tell me about the customs and customs of Jingzhou."
Wu Zuo and Wu You sat at the stone table with blank expressions on their faces and recounted what they had seen and heard in Jiangling.
From the words of the two men, Sun Quan analyzed that Liu Bei was quite good at winning people's hearts. It seemed that he had completely taken root in Jingzhou.
Sun Quan saw that Wu You was almost silent. After careful observation, he found that he was missing a few teeth, so he asked suspiciously: "You are not even 30 years old, why have your teeth fallen out?"
Wu You was so embarrassed and angry. This incident was an eternal pain for the two brothers. They were beaten like this by two big-headed soldiers. In the end, they had no choice but to let it go. Thinking back on it, they felt aggrieved.
"Why don't you answer?" Sun Quan frowned.
"It's nothing, it was just that Brother You dropped it when he was drunk..." Wu Zuo replied prevaricatingly. They were prepared to keep this embarrassing thing in their stomachs and take it into the coffin. They had no intention of mentioning it again, especially when Say it in front of the elders in your hometown.
Wu Zuo's eyes flashed as he spoke, and Wu You next to him even turned red. Sun Quan immediately knew that the two of them wanted to hide.
Upon seeing this, Sun Quan stopped asking any more questions. He warmly invited the two of them to drink. Later, on the pretext that he had to deal with government affairs at short notice, he called in a few maids to accompany him.
Wu Zuo and Wu You did not doubt that he was there. They immediately relaxed when they saw Sun Quan walking out of the garden. The gentle and pleasant Jiangnan beauty persuaded them to drink. The two of them drank one glass after another and soon became drunk and confused.
The two brothers had been spoiled and domineering since childhood, and their character and drinking skills were not very good, so they were easily tricked into talking to each other after they were drunk. Sun Quan finally knew what happened to Wu You's teeth.
Sun Quan sent people to Chaisang and Ruxukou, and urgently recalled the two governors-general Lu Su and Cheng Pu. He wanted to convene the ministers to renegotiate Jingzhou's countermeasures.
The two governors came to Jianye from other places. When they met at the gate of the palace, Lu Su asked in confusion: "Does Mr. Cheng know anything important?"
Cheng Pu shook his head, "The messenger said that my lord is very anxious. I heard that Cao Cao's army is being held at Tongguan by the generals in Guanzhong. Cao Cao is likely to draw troops from Huainan. If the defenders become very small, it will indeed be a good opportunity to attack Hefei." ."
"If you really want to attack Hefei, you can ask General Guan to attack Xiangfan and let Cao Cao fight on three fronts. This will definitely achieve great results." Lu Su analyzed.
"But I heard that Liu Xuande led troops into Sichuan. Guan Yunchang probably doesn't have many troops in Jingzhou, and Guanzhong is very close to Xiangfan, so Guan Yu probably won't take the risk to attack Xiangfan..."
"Everything depends on people. As long as you show your righteousness, General Guan will definitely agree."
Cheng Pu was very clear about Guan Yu's ability. If this person hadn't been protecting him in Xinye, he might have been buried in a foreign land for many years. He nodded and sighed: "It would be best if the generals help me, but if not, I can only hope that I will." Ming, I don’t know when he will be able to return from Jiaozhou. He took away the 20,000 elite soldiers, which is also a big help from us."
