Ling Tong immediately shut up after being scolded. Although he did not respond or argue, he was still dissatisfied. Revenge for his father was more important than any alliance.

Jiangdong adopted a private military system, and the general's soldiers and horses could be inherited by the family. After Ling Cao was killed in the Battle of Jiangxia, the soldiers and horses he commanded were inherited by Ling Tong.

The low combat effectiveness of the troops led by Sun Quan was also directly related to this private military system, which was a coalition of many private soldiers.

This is like the great chief on the grassland, taking countless little chiefs out to fight. Each of the little chiefs has his own plans.

In order to rush to Hefei quickly, Zhou Yu did not listen to Lu Su's advice and chose to enter the Yangtze River from Jiangling.

Zhou Yu has never been afraid of anyone in a water battle. He believes that Gan Ning on the other side will not take the initiative to provoke.

Jiangdong's warships turned into the Yangtze River and passed by the mouth of the Youjiang River. The fortifications on the other side had been completed. In addition to the beacon towers, the docks also had defensive buildings such as watchtowers.

Zhou Yu was quite shocked when he saw this scene, because in the future he would attack Jingzhou via the Yangtze River, and these strongholds would need to be removed one by one, otherwise it would be difficult for Jiangdong's warships to land ashore.

"I wonder who gave Liu Bei the idea..." Zhou Yu stood on the bow and said to himself.

Lu Su sighed: "It is Lan Ziyu who came to Chaisang that day. He is still used by Liu Shijun to supervise the military and political affairs of the four counties in Jingnan..."

"Is it that common man? It's really beyond appearances." Zhou Yu frowned and shook his head.

Zhou Yu's father served as the mayor of Luoyang (the mayor of the capital), and his cousins ​​​​and uncles both reached the rank of Taiwei. Because he was born in a high family, he was born with arrogance towards poor families or the head of Guizhou.

At that time, Lan Tian was arguing like a market villain. Hearing that he was just a farmer, Zhou Yu lost interest in getting to know him any further. It was precisely because of Lan Tian's low background and the fact that he deliberately did not make himself famous that he was not remembered by the children of these aristocratic families.

Living there allows him to do things in a low-key manner.

When Jiangdong's warships were passing by, Gan Ning's garrison was on alert. Zhou Yu couldn't help but nod as he watched the flags on the south bank fluttering.

"Grand Governor, I think Jingzhou's defenses are well done. After returning to Jiangdong, I can also suggest that my lord build joint control and defense at the front lines of Chungu, Niuzhu and Jianye." Lu Su nodded and said.

"What is joint control and joint defense?" Zhou Yu asked puzzledly.

Lu Su then explained Sun Shangxiang's words to Zhou Yu in detail.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu felt that the world was spinning. These seemed to be Jingzhou's internal defense strategies, but looking at the general trend of the world, it was to defend Jiangdong. Could anyone have seen my plan to attack Guo under false pretenses?

Seeing Zhou Yu's gloomy expression, Lu Su whispered in his ear: "Miss Dadu has unintentionally guessed Dao Du's plan to attack Guo..."

"How come it's unintentional?" Zhou Yu asked hurriedly.

"Miss said... that the governor abandoned Xinye and came to Jiangling privately. Either he betrayed Jiangdong or he wanted to attack Jingzhou..." Lu Su answered truthfully.

"Would I betray Jiangdong? How could Miss do this..." Zhou Yu covered the wound and rushed to his heart, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and then passed out on the bow of the ship.

"Captain..." Lu Su hurriedly supported him and then carried him into the cabin.

Since there was no fighting ship to guide the way, the fleet did not continue forward after nightfall, but stopped near Shishou to rest and wait until dawn before continuing the voyage.

Lu Su was uneasy when he saw Zhou Yu coughing up blood, because both Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao died from coughing up blood. He summoned several military generals to discuss countermeasures and considered whether to go from Dongting to Changsha tomorrow, and then go to Lingling to seek treatment for Zhang Zhongjing.

Although Zhou Shan was not a general in the army, he was a close confidant of Sun Quan, so he also followed Lu Su to observe.

When Ling Tong and others were silent, Zhou Shan objected: "My lord is still looking forward to it in Hefei, how can he ruin Jiangdong's major events just because of the governor?"

"Why don't you send someone to send the governor to recover from his injuries, and the rest of the warships return to Jiangdong first?" Lu Su suggested.

"The Governor is famous all over the world. What if he is murdered by a traitor? Don't we have famous doctors in Jiangdong?" Zhou Shan continued.

While everyone was arguing, a soldier from Zhou Yu's ship came to invite him. He said that the governor had woken up and now wanted to see Lu Su and Zhou Shan.

The two came to Zhou Yu's cabin. Seeing that he looked very poor, Lu Su sat next to him and comforted him: "Grand Governor, we are discussing whether to take you to Lingling to find Zhang Zhongjing."

Zhou Yu saw that Zhou Shan's expression was unnatural, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Such a minor injury will not be fatal, but it will be a little uncomfortable when it occurs. It will be fine after you get to Jiangdong. Since Yu followed General Bo Fu, he has devoted himself to the Sun family. I don't want to

The young lady actually suspected that I had treason, it was really..."

"Captain, don't think too much. The young lady was also angry at that time, but she couldn't do anything." Lu Su explained quickly.

"How could the young lady have such evil intentions? If no one had instigated her, it would have been impossible for her to say these words. It must have been Liu Xuande who alienated her..." Zhou Yu said to himself.

"This... this is also possible..." Lu Su followed his words and agreed. Although he didn't believe that Liu Bei would act like this, he couldn't say that Sun Shangxiang was really suspicious of Zhou Yu. No matter what Sun Quan's thoughts were, they didn't say so.

words.

Although Zhou Yu was complaining to Lu Su, he was actually telling Zhou Shan to listen, and he was showing his loyalty to Sun Quan.

Zhou Yu missed dinner because he was unconscious, so the pawns brought the hot porridge.

Zhou Yu picked up the bowl and took two bites, then put the bowl aside.

Lu Su advised: "The march is rough and rough. Gong Jin must endure it for a few days and then eat some..."

"The pain from the wound is unbearable, and I really can't eat." Zhou Yu shook his head.

"The night is still long. If you don't eat..." Lu Su didn't know how to persuade him.

At this time, Zhou Shan took out a small cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Zhou Yu and said: "This is the painkiller pills that I asked Zhang Zhongjing to prepare after I first arrived in Jiangling. I planned to keep them for my own use in case of injury. I hope the governor doesn't mind it."

Just eat two."

"Does this pain pill work?" Zhou Yu did not reach out to take it.

"I haven't taken it either, but Zhang Zhongjing is Liu Xuande's man. Maybe he prepared the poison, so he asked me to test the medicine for the governor." Zhou Shan took out a black pill from his bag, threw it in his mouth and chewed a few times.

Swallowed it.

After about a while of tea, Zhou Shan waved his hand and said: "It feels warm after taking it. It shouldn't be poison..."

"Zhang Zhongjing is a famous doctor, how could he poison..." Zhou Yu took the bag and opened it to see that there were only seven or eight pills left inside. Then he picked up a pill and drank it.

Lu Su and Zhou Shan were watching the effect of the medicine. After a while, Zhou Yu felt relaxed and said with a smile: "This Zhongjing is really a miracle doctor. It takes effect immediately after taking the medicine. Thank you for the gift, Guard Zhou."

"It's my honor, Zhou Shan, to be able to help the Governor." Zhou Shan answered with his hand.

"Captain, please rest early and we won't disturb you." After saying this, Lu Su took Zhou Shan and left.

Zhou Yu felt better after taking painkilling pills. On the way back to Jiangdong, he took one pill when he felt unwell. The effect was immediate.

A few days later, the fleet arrived in Jiangxia in the evening and docked for rest. Fu Shiren, who stayed behind in Jiangxia, learned about it and came to the dock to work with wine and meat.

Jiangdong soldiers had not eaten meat for a long time. After eating Fu Shiren's wine and meat, they all praised General Fu for his benevolence and righteousness.

When Jiangdong's fleet crossed Jiangxia and entered the waters of E County, Zhou Yu suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain. He hurriedly went to take out the painkillers sent by Zhou Shan, but there were only seven or eight pills in the bag and they were empty before he knew it.
