Sun Quan looked at the high-spirited Mizhoulang and sighed: "Now, I can only raise 30,000 people for my brother!"
"If you don't see Cai Mao, how about Kuai Yue? I still need 20,000 troops to consolidate the rear and beware of Zhang Zibu and others."
Zhou Yu was stunned. Although Zhang Zhao kept silently surrendering, his many years of official experience made him understand Zhang Zhao's character very well.
The two of them served the late master Sun Ce together, and they were both trusted and important ministers to the overlord of Jiangdong.
Even for Sun Ce's sake, Zhang Zhao would never surrender behind his back.
"Wu Hou, are you already so scheming?"
"Then did he really trust me?"
Zhou Yu sighed silently in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Zhongmou... Wu Hou, 30,000 troops, is enough!"
Thirty thousand against two hundred thousand!
Sun Quan understood that he was forcing Zhou Yu, but the latter did not hesitate.
"Don't worry, Marquis Wu. Since it is an alliance between Sun and Liu, how can Liu Bei not send out an army?"
"Wait until I go to Xiakou, meet with him, and plan this matter together!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Quan stood up and held Zhou Yu's hand.
"Everything depends on my brother!"
The next day, inside the inn.
Zhuge Liang met with Zhou Yu, while Liu Mang ate melon seeds as if nothing had happened.
"Young Master Changqing, Kong Ming! How can the Sun-Liu alliance be the only one sending troops from Jiangdong?"
"As an ally, you must show some sincerity, right?"
Zhou Yu is majestic and worthy of the name Zhou Yu.
Zhuge Liang's feather fan and turban are comparable to him.
Liu Mang was cynical and seemed a bit awkward between the two.
"Gong Jin, my young master killed Fei Zhan and defeated Danyang! He also quarreled with the Confucian scholars in Jiangdong to get them to support the fight against Cao Cao."
Zhuge Liang was playful: "Could it be that this doesn't represent sincerity?"
Zhou Yu felt that he was wrong and gritted his teeth and said: "We in Jiangdong lack troops! Since we are an alliance, you have to send troops!"
Pooh!
Liu Mang vomited the melon seed peel and almost spit it on Zhou Yu.
"Captain Zhou, just go find my father! How many troops to send, it doesn't count if I say it, and it won't count if my husband says it."
"Huh! I just want to inform you two so that Liu Bei won't get suspicious!"
Zhou Yu stood up and left the table. Only then did Zhao Yun come in and asked, "Master, military advisor! Zhou Yu went to find the master. If he forces our army to send troops..."
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Zilong, there are still scholars around the Lord, Yuan Zhi will assist you!"
"Besides, our original intention is to send troops!"
…
Jiangxia County.
Hearing that Zhou Yu was coming to negotiate in person, Liu Bei's house exploded.
"Why do you want me to send troops?"
Zhang Fei was furious, "Commander Pang! Commander Xu! Both of you are talking about something! Don't let my eldest brother suffer the loss of being mute!"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard and sneered: "If Zhou Gongjin forces my eldest brother to send troops, he will first ask the Qinglong Yanyue in my hand!"
No!
Pang Tong said bluntly: "Young Master and Kong Ming are still in Jiangdong. The two generals must not be rude to Zhou Yu!"
"My lord, Yuan Zhi and I have already thought of a countermeasure! All we need is my lord to use his special skills!"
Specialty?
Liu Bei exclaimed: "Do you need me for this plan? Shi Yuan! Yuan Zhi! Will the plan be implemented?"
Pang Tong took a swig of wine and turned a deaf ear.
Xu Shu looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, not intending to speak.
"Brother! You forgot that Man'er once said that you have two specialties! One of them is crying!"
Guan Yu spoke straightforwardly, his face was like a jujube, and there was no trace of shame on his elder brother Mi Tai.
"Brother! There is one more thing I know, which is to run!"
Zhang Fei has a black face, a swallow-like jaw and a tiger's beard, but Uncle Liu Huang's face turns black with anger when you don't see him.
"Ahem! Three generals, just use the first one!"
Pang Tong gave the suggestion, and Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The military advisor said it is true! It sounds better to cry than to sing!"
"Ahem!"
"Brother! If your throat feels uncomfortable, drink more hot water! Mang'er once said that hot water cures all diseases!"
"Third brother...you were taught a bad lesson by that traitor!"
…
A few days later.
Zhou Yu personally went to Xiakou, set up camp on the way, and invited Liu Bei to meet him.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Pang Tong and Xu Shu accompanied each other.
While riding his horse, Liu Bei looked at the tiger generals scheming around him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If Xuzhou had obtained the sleeping dragon and phoenix chick back then, how could he have been plotted by Lu Bu?
If it was Zhao Yun who was stationed in Xuzhou back then, how could he have caused trouble by drinking and forced Cao Bao to rebel?
Looking at the upright and honest third brother next to him, Liu Bei smiled and talked about Qianqiu Hegemony. It was enough to have two brothers beside him!
"Brother, what are you laughing at?"
"Haha! I remember that time in Taoyuan, when you and I became sworn brothers, it seems like yesterday!"
"Yes! Now Mang'er has grown up, I gave birth to Tanzhi, and Yide also has Zhang Bao and Xingcai."
The three brothers looked at the military tent in the distance. Even if the road ahead is difficult, as long as the brothers work together, they will definitely be able to make a fortune!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Brother, why are you laughing again?"
"Second brother! Third brother! You have a bright future when you laugh!"
Liu Bei galloped on his horse, followed closely by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. The three of them seemed to have returned to twenty years ago!
We are sworn brothers in Taoyuan, fighting against the traitors of the country at the top, and appeasing the people at the bottom!
When he got close to Zhou Yu's military tent, Pang Tong pulled Zhang Fei in a low voice.
"Military advisor, what's the matter?"
"Cry! Let the lord cry!"
Zhang Fei understood.
Xu Shu on the other side also reminded Guan Yu.
"Yun Chang, don't forget the master's special skills!"
"Don't worry Yuan Zhi, I've taken care of this matter."
The two military advisors were worried that Uncle Liu Huang would not be able to cry because of the spring breeze just now, so they specially reminded Guan and Zhang.
"Brother, can you cry?"
"This... second brother, I just thought about the sworn friendship in Taoyuan, and I couldn't even cry!"
"Brother, don't worry, I'm here to help you!"
Zhang Fei stretched out his big hand to Liu Bei's thigh and pinched it hard!
Poor Emperor's uncle, at his age, he still has to experience grabbing dragon roots!
"Third brother, what the fuck!"
"Shh! Brother, bear with me!"
Guan Yu covered Liu Bei's mouth and did not let go until tears filled his eyes.
Zhou Yu was sitting in the army at this time, with Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai beside him.
"Liu Bei, haven't you arrived yet?"
As he was speaking, he saw Uncle Liu Huang limping and his eyes were red.
"Captain Zhou! You're finally here, woo woo woo!"
"This... why is the emperor crying?"
Liu Bei cried when he came up, which made Zhou Yu stunned on the spot.
Just cry if you want, and still pounce on others!
Zhou Yu had a mysophobia and could only get up and dodge.
"Uncle Emperor, please sit down first. If you have anything to say, please talk to me!"
Liu Bei was crying and unable to communicate normally.
"Shi Yuan! What happened? To make the emperor cry like this?"
"Gong Jin, I'm telling you the truth! My lord is a man of temperament!"
Pang Tong sighed and said: "The three brothers have wasted half their lives, but now they can settle down in the four counties of Jingnan!"
"Now that Gong Jin has come to fight against Cao Cao, he can vent his anger on our lord and move him to tears!"
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai looked at each other, how could they cry like this?
"Prepare...half your life wasted, and you were defeated at the hands of Cao Cao!"
"The Governor of Zhou is like a god with his troops. I think he will be able to defeat Cao Cao!"
"It's a pity that there is a shortage of money and food, and there are no elite soldiers, so we can only beat drums to cheer for the governor!"
Zhou Yu's eyes widened and he shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Zhang Fei waved his hand and whispered: "Brother, get ready, cry!"
