Chapter 142 Sun Liu (End)
Amid the cheers one after another, Mrs. Sun and Liu Bei landed on the shore together, and then came to the people surrounded by their subordinates and waved to them repeatedly.
Liu Bei was like a dignified and steady parent, staying with Mrs. Sun and not talking easily.
Liu Bei knew very well that some of the people in the Gong'an City fled with him before the Battle of Chibi, and some of them went south one after another after leaving the Nanjun controlled by Zhou Lang these days. Since he was taken in Liu Jingsheng in the sixth year of Jian'an and stationed troops in Xinye, it has been nearly ten years since he was in charge of Liu Jingsheng. Ten years of hard work, coupled with his lifetime of kindness and love for the people, finally the people of Jingzhou are treated so heartily.
But with Liu Bei's shrewdness and sophistication, he would not think that this was really a spontaneous action of the people. Many of those who mixed with the people and took the lead in shouting and kneeling down were probably officials under General Zuo's mansion. They did a good job!
Liu Bei took a little back and looked at the young man standing not far away, holding a white feather fan in his hand to his subordinates. Just seeing the figure of this young man, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing. He knew who was doing this scene, and he knew even more that all the problems would be solved in front of this young man, and Kong Ming would never disappoint him.
Mrs. Sun enjoyed this treatment she had never seen before.
Several armed servants wanted to express their loyalty, rushed up anxiously to block the relationship between Mrs. Sun and the people. As a result, they were pushed by the people who were rushing in enthusiasm. This stupid behavior further aroused Mrs. Sun's displeasure; she kept scolding and asked them to retreat.
Mrs. Sun's crisp and loud shouting attracted the attention of many people. The people laughed as the young girl in gorgeous clothes shouted like a child from a neighbor's house, and some even applauded and praised loudly. Mrs. Sun could not understand the local accent of the people, but could see the kind-hearted and smiling faces clearly, so she became happier.
She couldn't help but wonder: Do you know that I am so popular among the people? Will he envy me?
*******
In the suburbs outside Jingkou City, dozens of knights were galloping and hunting.
Jingkou is Dantu County of Wujun. In the early Han Dynasty, it was originally the capital of Jing Kingdom. Dajiang, Pu River and Zhongdu River flowed through this place, and multiple channels gathered; starting from Jingkou, you can advance to the land of Huai and Xu to the north, and go deeper to the south, and reach Wuhui in a few days.
The Wu Hou Sun Quan failed to capture Hefei last year, which led to Cao Cao personally leading the army to fight against Jianghuai, set up Yangzhou county officials, and opened Shaobei to farm farms until the end of the year. This series of actions caused Jiangzuo to bear huge military and political pressure. In order to facilitate the fight against the strong enemy in Jiangbei, Sun Quan then led the elite troops of the Central Camp to take charge of Dantu, and established a permanent military fortress with the mountains as a fortress. Due to the ancient saying, "The highest is the capital", he changed the name of Dantu to Jingkou.
Because of the new construction of the city, a large area of undeveloped primitive landforms were preserved outside the city, so the knights ran around and chased, with a radius of hundreds of miles, with rolling hills, winding rivers, lush forests and beasts.
At this moment, the cavalry team ran wildly through the forest path, shouting and shouting along the way, frightening all kinds of prey to panic. Among them, a wild deer with bright fur was in a panic and suddenly rushed to the middle of the path, hitting the cavalry team and coming to the ground. They were stunned. Then they jumped loudly, crossed the bushes, and rushed towards the dense forest on the other end.
A man in the cavalry team rode his horse forward, and he took a bow and arrow, and a single arrow hit the head. The wild deer fell down upon the string.
The accompanying knights cheered in unison: "The Supreme Good Archery!"
The man who shot the deer was the "supreme" mentioned by the ministers in Jiangdong, General of the Carriage and Cavalry, and Sun Quan, the governor of Xuzhou.
Hearing the knights' archery skills, Sun Quan laughed a few times, turned around, threw his bow and arrow to the entourage who came. When he was about to go deeper into the woodland, he suddenly felt indifferent.
Sun Quan has always loved hunting, and his father and brother were not as good as him in terms of his agility and courage when hunting. This fact often made him proud in the early years, but since this year, it has made him feel depressed. He finally discovered that the heroic moment when hunting is one thing, and the performance on the real battlefield is another. After all, he is not as heroic as originally thought.
The failure in Hefei a few months ago was too embarrassing; the process of being scared away by a forged letter was too shameful, which greatly damaged the reputation accumulated by the Eastern Wu after the Battle of Chibi. Sun Quan could even feel the strange eyes of some ministers, as if those people were saying, "Putting the people from Jiangdong to make a decision between the two battles, competing with the world... You are not as good as your brother!
Before his death, he said this. Sun Quan never thought it was true, but the cruel reality forced him to admit it.
It's ridiculous. In the past few months, the only one who made Sun Quan feel respected was Liu Bei, who had just left Jingkou.
Sun Quan had never seen a hero like Liu Bei before. Although there were many talents from Jiangdong, they were all subordinates, so they were naturally bent in front of him. Occasionally, there were a few old guys who were qualified to be big, which was simply annoying. However, Liu Bei was different. His generous and free manner and open-minded manner all made Sun Quan feel disgusted. As a hero who treated Sun Quan equally, his vague respect made Sun Quan feel even more elated.
Is what Liu Bei revealed true? In fact, it may not be. Sun Quan understood that Liu Bei had to do so with Jiangdong's support. But Liu Bei had such charm that everyone who came into contact with trusted and liked him. No wonder everyone in the world said that Liu Bei could win the hearts of the people.
It would be worthwhile for his own girl to marry such a famous hero.
Unfortunately, I couldn't keep him.
Sun Quan remembered the letters sent by Zhou Gongjin. The words in the letters were repeatedly pondered by him and he had already become familiar with them:
Liu Bei was a heroic figure, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and Xiong Hu were not used by others for a long time. I said that the big plan should be moved to Wu, Sheng built a palace, and many of his beauties would play well to entertain his ears and ears. They divided the two of them into one side, so that those who are like Yu could be held and fought against each other, and major events could be settled. Now they were stolen to make land for their own business, and they gathered these three people on the battlefield, fearing that the dragon would get clouds and rain, and they would never be the thing in the pond.
Sun Quan sighed. Zhou Gongjin said nothing wrong, but Liu Bei walked too fast.
Before he could use many of the methods he had prepared, he could not use his heroic spirit in the gentle village of the beauties in the palace. He had already got what he wanted, and then ran away... and took away the young and beautiful lady! This was too... so... Sun Quan didn't know how to evaluate it.
Can such a hero who takes the world as his responsibility, since the dragon returns to the sea, Jiangdong can be controlled by just marriage? I am afraid it is very difficult.
