Yu Fan hesitated for a long time and basically reported to Sun Quan all the big and small things in Sanjiangkou, what he had seen and what he had not seen. Sun Quan nodded slightly: "It seems that we have a great chance of winning this battle!
"
Yu Fan said nothing. Sun Quan waved his hand to Yu Fan to get down, but Yu Fan did not move. Sun Quan was stunned and asked, "Sir, what else can you say?"
Yu Fan looked around. Cheng Pu, Zhang Zhao was so smart, and hurriedly stood up to say goodbye. After the two left, Sun Quan sent all the guards and servants around him out. Yu Fan took two steps forward and knelt down with a general cry.
On the ground: "Lord!"
"If you have anything to say, just say it! What's going on?"
Yu Fan glanced at Sun Quan: "There is a very important thing that General Huang Gai personally told me when my subordinates came back. This matter is of great importance and I have to report it to the lord alone!"
Huang Gai is an old man in Jiangdong. He has been following the Sun family since the time of Sun Jian. He worked for the Sun family through life and death. Although he cannot be said to have great military exploits, he can still be regarded as dedicated to the Sun family. After Sun Jian died, Huang Gai still did not give up on the Sun family and followed Sun Ce to come here.
In Jiangdong, there were hundreds of large and small battles, and they were considered conscientious. However, things seemed to have changed since Sun Ce and Zhou Yu met.
Sun Ce seemed to be constantly alienating these old ministers, including Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others. Cheng Pu was sent to Lujiang, and he and Han Dang became mere generals, with no soldiers and no authority. And those who came with Zhou Yu
However, those young people were put into great use by Sun Ce. As the saying goes, once the emperor is the emperor, there are always ministers, which made these old ministers feel uncomfortable, so they supported Sun Quan to take the throne.
After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, the life of the old ministers suddenly became much better. Cheng Pu was worshiped as the deputy governor, and Huang Gai and Han Dang's subordinates also increased their troops. Everything seemed to be developing according to their expectations. Who would have expected that,
Cao Cao wanted to go south, so Sun Quan had no choice but to appoint Zhou Yu as the governor-general and send an additional 50,000 soldiers to fight against Cao Cao. Huang Gai and Han Dang were among them.
Zhou Yu, a yellow-haired boy, was worshiped as the governor. He was a veteran of three dynasties and was still a general. In order to block Cao Jun, he, Huang Gai, could endure all this. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly! Zhou Yu actually ignored his feelings and for a trivial matter,
In front of everyone and dozens of people from the Long Army, he beat himself up severely. His skin and flesh were torn, and he almost died.
At this point, the relationship between the two of them has been established. After Huang Gai was beaten, he was so angry that he wanted to eat Zhou Yu. He was recovering from his injuries while thinking about countermeasures. Unfortunately, his brain was not very good, and he couldn't find a better way after thinking about it.
The deputy general suggested to Huang Gai that he should frame Zhou Yu to Sun Quan. When Huang Gai heard this, he was furious: "I, Huang Gai, am an upright man. How could I do such a bastard thing? Get out!"
Having said that, Huang Gai has always disliked Zhou Yu. Why did Zhou Yu hit him? Wasn't it just to vent his anger on Long Fei's behalf? Why should he vent his anger on Long Fei's behalf? Could it be that... Huang Gai didn't dare to think about it because he didn't know
At a good time, my friend Kan Ze came to visit Huang Gai.
Kanze, who was from Kuaiji, was not a veteran of Soochow. He came to Jiangdong later than Zhou Yu and others. But Kanze was smart since he was a child and keenly sensed the great changes in Soochow. He took refuge under Sun Quan before others, and then
He was very close to Huang Gai and other senior ministers, and was considered a know-it-all in Jiangdong official circles.
Kanze saw Huang Gai's face and laughed and said: "Old General, the wound from the stick is about to be healed, why is he so frowning?"
Huang Gai didn't say anything. Kan Ze found a stool by himself, approached Huang Gai's collapsed edge, and said in a low voice: "Does the old general have some taboos against Zhou Yu?"
Huang Gai immediately turned to look at Kan Ze. Kan Ze smiled: "If the old general is interested, I can help the old general!"
"How do you say this?" Huang Gai stood up in a hurry.
Kan Ze looked around. Huang Gai waved his hand and asked everyone to go out. Kan Ze said: "Veteran general, why don't you tell Lord Yu Fan what Zhou Yu has done these days? There is no need for the old general to say more. My lord is a smart man and can understand it completely."
Is Zhou Yu a good person or a bad person?"
"Then what should I say?" Huang Gai didn't understand what Kan Ze meant.
Kan Ze said: "You can pick up the main things, such as beating up the old general, having a close relationship with Long Fei, such as constantly flattering Long Fei, just these trivial things!"
"Zhou Yu is the governor, he should do these things, will it be useful if he says it?" Huang Gai still didn't understand. Kan Ze's words actually asked Huang Gai to frame Zhou Yu, but he didn't say it clearly.
Kan Ze smiled: "It will definitely work, my lord will definitely avenge the old general!"
Huang Gai also wanted to vent his anger, and more importantly, to make Zhou Yu be more honest in the future. He gritted his teeth and followed Kan Ze's words. This was the scene where he chased Yu Fan to the camp gate on horseback and intercepted him.
"Bastard!" After hearing this, Sun Quan slapped several cases with his palm: "I thought Brother Zhong was thinking so hard about me Jiangdong, but he walked so close to Long Fei. Come on! Go to Sanjiangkou immediately and transfer Zhou Yu back! I want to
Ask yourself."
"Lord, calm down!" Yu Fan hurriedly knelt down and said: "Although Zhou Yu made rebellious actions, he did not carry them out. If he doesn't admit it, we can't do anything. It may also trigger a mutiny. Please give me my lord! When he comes back, Lu Su
I specifically ask that if it were not for Zhou Yu, I am afraid there would be no one in Jiangdong who could resist Cao Cao, so please be careful, my lord!"
"Nonsense!" Sun Quan said angrily: "Is it possible that there is no one in Jiangdong except Zhou Yu?"
Yu Fan said nothing. Sun Quan pondered for a long time and sighed: "That's it! Please step aside and let me think about it."
The matter seemed to have passed away, and Sun Quan and Yu Fan never mentioned it to anyone again. Zhou Yu was still the governor of Jiangdong, commanding the troops to fight against Cao's army. On this day, Zhou Yu was discussing with Long Fei how to send out a naval force to test
Someone suddenly came to report Cao Cao's navy incident, and Sun Quan sent a fast horse from Moling to deliver a food box to Zhou Yu. Long Fei laughed and said, "General Sun is really considerate. He paid special attention to Governor Zhou and sent a food box all the way."
, so enviable.”
The person who came was the steward of General Sun Quan’s mansion. He had been working hard all the way and was exhausted when he entered the tent. He looked very tired. He put down the food box gently and said some kind words about Sun Quan’s concern for Zhou Yu, and received a reward from Zhou Yu.
Then he exited the tent. When he opened the food box, there was nothing special, just a small plate of exquisite pastries and a jug of fine wine.
Zhou Yu asked Long Fei to try it, and Long Fei waved his hand: "No, this is Sun Quan's wish. Governor Zhou has worked hard, so you should eat it yourself!"
When he came out of the tent, Long Fei seemed to feel something was wrong. He looked back at Zhou Yu who was rummaging through the food boxes in the tent. Long Fei was about to turn around and go in. However, Lu Su came from the side and greeted Long Fei loudly. Long Fei sighed.
, come down the steps.
Zhou Yu is a smart man, and he understands the meaning of sending food boxes very well. I remember that in the first year of Yongjia, Emperor Chong of the Han Dynasty died of illness. At that time, the Empress Dowager Liang and his younger brother Liang Ji supported Qiancheng King Liu Zan as emperor, inheriting Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty
Later, after Liu Zan succeeded to the throne, the government was basically controlled by Liang Ji. Liang Ji was domineering and did everything, which aroused resistance from some upright courtiers. Although Emperor Han Zhi was only eight years old, he also disliked him. During a court meeting
, he called Liang Ji "this domineering general" in front of the ministers to express his righteous indignation. In the first year of Benchu, Liang Ji asked his cronies who were placed around Emperor Zhi to secretly mix poison into the boiled cakes that Emperor Zhi ate.
Emperor Zhi ate poisoned cakes and was poisoned to death. He died in Luoyang Palace.
What's in the food box? Although the current situation is different from that of the past, Zhou Yu is just a minister and Sun Quan is the lord. But the situation is very similar. Liang Ji and Sun Quan are both worried that their status will not be guaranteed. Zhou Yu looked at it for a long time,
He didn't even take action.
Zhu Huan said: "Great Governor, why don't you eat what your lord has given you?"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "How can I just eat what my lord has given me and not use it after bathing and changing clothes?"
Carrying the food box back to his tent, Zhou Yu spread out the bamboo slips and held a writing brush in one hand. He stared at the food box in a daze. After thinking for a long time, he wrote the first word: I will follow General Bo Fu.
Come here, be loyal to the Sun family of Jiangdong... I wrote a large volume. While reading the words on the bamboo slips, I grabbed the cakes in the food box with one hand, threw them into my mouth, poured another glass of wine, and threw it into my mouth.
Everything from my neck was poured into my stomach. A burning pain flowed directly from my throat into my stomach.
From that day on, Sun Quan would send people from Moling to bring some food to Zhou Yu every few days. Although they were ordinary things, Zhou Yu valued them more than his life and would not give them to anyone, even the closest people around him.
Don't even think about taking one and a half cents. From the first food box, Zhou Yu's complexion became worse and worse day by day. Every night, the soldiers patrolling outside the camp could hear Zhou Yu coughing, and he kept coughing all night long.
Long Fei had roughly guessed the reason for Zhou Yu's illness, and asked tentatively if he wanted to ask someone to check on Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, this is an old problem for me. It happens every winter.
The cough will be gone after a few days."
After Zhou Yu said this, Long Fei couldn't say anything more. He could only apologize for Zhou Yu behind his back. Everyone was guessing what Cao Cao would do next and where to start. Naturally, Cao Cao was not idle either.
While guessing how the people on the opposite side would defend themselves, Yu Jin and Mao Jie's troops were already in place and quietly arrived on the other side of Wuchang. Cao Cao also sent Le Jin and Li Dian to secretly transport the warships from the land route. Everything was ready and Cao Cao waited.
With an order, we can launch an attack at any time.
Huang Gai was assigned to Wuchang by Zhou Yu. Before leaving, Zhou Yu repeatedly warned: "Wuchang is an important place. If the enemy forces detour behind us, the Sanjiangkou camp will be extremely dangerous. General Huang must send more scouts and patrol continuously every day."
Patrol the river bank and report immediately if there is anything unusual."
Huang Gai snorted coldly: "I have been fighting for many years, and I don't need the governor to remind me of these things!"
After that, he left without looking back. Zhou Yu was still a little worried, so Lu Su said: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, Huang Gai has always been cautious, and there won't be any mistakes."
