Here more than a thousand years later, Chen Youliang, who grew up as a small soldier and became an overlord in just a few years, connected the warships with iron chains. Then... he was happily attacked by Zhu Yuanzhang and was cremated.
It brought about a great situation.
And after a thousand years, if history follows the original trajectory, a fire will be ignited here, a fire... that will burn out Cao Cao's dream of unifying the world.
now…
Looking from a distance, the blue waves are rippling.
The water of the lake is turquoise blue, and it seems to be connected with the blue sky thousands of miles away, just like the phrase "Autumn water and the sky are one color"...
Countless fishermen are working here day and night, and every time they catch a big and fat fish, they will laugh "hehe".
Zhou Yu's navy also trained here.
The water waves of Poyang Lake are closest to the Yangtze River. Over the years, his soldiers have trained here, creating a Jiangdong navy that can fight tough battles and withstand wind and waves.
certainly…
Because of Jiangdong's special military system.
The thousands of naval troops under Zhou Yu only belong to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu may have taken orders from Sun Quan, but these naval forces could be called Zhou Yu's personal tribe, being dispatched by him alone. Even after he died in battle, these naval forces would continue to be handed over to his son.
This is Jiangdong's so-called "Fu Army System"...
Whoever has as many soldiers as his subordinates is his own!
At this moment, Zhou Yu was playing the harp in his mansion, and the sound of the harp was sonorous and exciting, seeming to contain endless sorrow, anger, and frustration. Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan gently and patiently listened to him finish the piece.
Seems much calmer.
After all, Zhou Yu's mind was heavy. After exerting force, the strings of the piano broke and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. Only then did Zhou Yu slowly lower his hand.
"The song is wrong, Zhou Lang Gu..." Zhuge Liang paced and sighed: "I didn't expect that the string in Zhou Lang's hand would break? Zhou Lang didn't say anything, let me guess, it is probably the King of Wei Cao Cao
The letter I sent, if you know how to hunt Wu and the 800,000 troops, Zhou Gongjin, the right governor of Jiangdong, can't help but feel a lot heavier, right?"
Zhou Yu heard the sarcasm in Zhuge Liang's words, but he was not angry.
The real Zhou Yu in history was an extremely open-minded person, and a handsome man who was as handsome as the audience in front of the mobile phone screen!
"Wolong Zhuge, why did you come to see me first? Instead of visiting Lu Boyan, the left governor of Jiangdong? He is the most trusted person of Sun Yi, the lord of Jiangdong, and he has a lot of troops."
Zhou Yu asked about a topic that concerned him most.
Zhuge Liang did not hide it either. "Because Lu Boyan represents the interests of the four major families in Kuaiji and the four major families in Wu County. Whether these families join the Sun family or join the King of Wei, they are still local wealthy clans and will monopolize this place as usual."
They don’t care about the officialdom, resources, and who is the master!”
"Ha!" Hearing this, Zhou Yu asked back. "Then why are you so sure that I, Zhou Yu, will resist Cao Cao?"
"Because you are from the Huaisi faction...your roots are not in Jiangdong. You must maintain the same position as the Sun family in Jiangdong. Is this the helplessness of people like us who live in exile?"
hiss…
Zhuge Liang's words made Zhou Yu's eyes narrow, and he no longer dared to underestimate this visitor from Jiangbei.
"Can Kong Ming understand the flute?"
"Know a thing or two!"
"How about you and I play a song together with the piano and flute?"
"What to play?"
"What do you think?"
"It can't be "Feng Qiu Huang", right?" Zhuge Liang asked with a smile.
Zhou Yu smiled lightly. "The song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is very suitable for the occasion. It seems to be pretty good!"
yes…
There are not many people who can think of him as Zhou Yu and see Jiang Dong so thoroughly.
To be precise...it was only him, Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.
The phoenix comes back to its hometown, and travels around the world to seek its phoenix.
Isn’t this just right for the occasion?
Zhuge Liang was looking for "allies", wasn't Zhou Yu also looking for "allies"?
"The string is broken? Can I still continue playing?"
"If a string breaks, you can put it back on and play again!"
The conversation between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu was light and gentle, not like two strangers who had never met before, but more like a pair of close friends who reunited after a long absence and occasionally argued with each other and hit each other!
The music starts…
When I first heard it, it sounded like spring snow, lingering and pathos...
But it seemed that Zhou Yu had no intention of playing so lightly. He suddenly accelerated his speed, as if the originally smooth flowing stream had gradually become turbulent due to the terrain.
The sound of Zhuge Liang's flute also became much faster...
It can completely follow Zhou Yu's piano sound.
The two bounced faster and faster, as if the stream merged into a river, and the water suddenly became more turbulent, rushing downstream.
Zhuge Liang was a little worried. If Zhou Yu played so fast, could the piano in his hand withstand it? Would the strings break again? However... the strings did not break, but Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang could not calm down for a long time.
.
Because, this fast-playing music has made... the "river flow" seem to be uncontrollable, crashing into the other shore without hesitation, or rushing towards the unknown front.
"What will be the ending?"
Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu had the same sentence in their minds.
Both of them could not help but frown, and their whole bodies tensed up.
finally…
When the sound of the piano reached its peak, Zhou Yu suddenly pressed all the strings with both hands.
Zhuge Liang let go of the flute...
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, and the music ended here.
It's like when water reaches a waterfall and rushes down, if you don't succeed... then... you will become a benevolent person!
But in front of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, a different picture seemed to appear.
On the turbulent Yangtze River, countless ships line up on both sides, and a war is about to break out... Either the river is rushing, or the sky is burning with flames, this battle is destined to go down in history!
Just a few breaths...
The two of them exhaled at the same time.
Zhou Yu was the first to speak, "This piece of music is reaching its climax. If you and I just play it empty-handed, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the ending."
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "If the outcome of everything is known, then...what's the point? Isn't the unknown outcome what Governor Zhou is more willing to challenge?"
Oh…
At this moment, Zhou Yu smiled, smiled, and stood up suddenly. The two of them had understood each other. Next...
Simply express your feelings.
"Mr. Kong Ming, how do you plan to deal with the 'flying ball soldiers' in Long Xiao's camp?"
"Mr. Kong Ming, how do you plan to persuade the four major families in Kuaiji and the four major families in Wu County to join forces to fight against Cao Cao?"
"Lu Ziyu is good at attacking people's minds. Does Mr. Kong Ming have any countermeasures?"
Three questions in a row, this is what Zhou Yu wants to know most.
Too…
Jiangdong's fight against Cao is the key to victory!
"Captain Zhou seems to be quite afraid of Lu Ziyu?" Zhuge Liang did not answer, but asked a question.
"Isn't it? Aren't you afraid?" Zhou Yu raised his eyes and said with a smile: "It's not what you said. I am willing to challenge unknown results. And I lost to Lu Ziyu once, that time in Lujiang. I
I failed miserably, but I achieved the name of Longxiao Camp. This time... I want to get back what I lost!"
Huo…
Zhuge Liang didn't even expect this.
It turns out that Zhou Gongjin’s resistance to Cao was somewhat mixed with personal grudges!
…
…
Luoyang City, ten miles outskirts of the city, is a tea stall next to the official road.
At this moment, Sima Yi was sitting here with a frown on his face. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip while casually looking around, as if he was waiting for someone.
Finally, after drinking the third cup of tea, he finally found the person he wanted to see.
"You are finally here. It seems that you have gone to find your master?"
The person who came was dressed in black, holding a sword in his hand and wearing a bamboo hat on his head. His face could not be clearly seen.
"If you look for my master, will you still be able to come back?"
"Who is your Excellency?"
Sima Yi asked warily. He tried his best to lower his body and tried to peek at the person's face... He wanted to identify this person too much.
Obviously…
This person felt very familiar to him, but he couldn't tell who he was.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is...have you thought about who you are?"
"I am who I am, who else could I be?" Sima Yi immediately asked...
"oh…"
The black-clothed swordsman smiled lightly, and immediately placed the sword on the table. He pinched his waist and said with a smile: "Simply, let me ask you, are you the second son of the Sima family in Hanoi now? Or are you the pride of Marquis Baima?
Protégé?”
call…
The black-clothed swordsman's words made Sima Yi understand something immediately.
He simply followed the other person's wishes.
"Of course I am the second son of the Sima family first, and then the master's disciple!"
"Haha!" The swordsman in black laughed, "Are you still his disciple now? Where was he when King Wei wanted to kill your family? Where was he when your Sima clan in Hanoi was wiped out? The Sima family in Hanoi
It was such a miserable death. I heard that even the bones were turned into ashes under the fire...only the charred remains were left in the end."
"Who are you?" Sima Yi asked again... "Why are you telling me this."
"If you want to avenge your family, come with me." The swordsman in black drank a full bowl of tea, picked up his sword, turned around and walked up a path.
Just as he was lifting the sword, Sima Yi noticed the sword. It was a sword he was extremely familiar with...
To be precise, it was the dragon mark on that sword that he was particularly familiar with.
That's...
That is the Zhongxing Sword, a sword forged by Liu Hong, the father of the current emperor Liu Xie, the Ling Emperor...
There are four in total, named Zhongxing.
At that time, these four swords caused a sensation in the entire Han Empire, but soon... it was reported in the palace that one of the four swords was missing.
And what was lost that time was not only the Zhongxing Sword, but also a man known as the "Sword Master".
Sima Yi's father, Sima Fang, would often tell this story to his sons, and would even draw the appearance of the "Zhongxing Sword".
It is for this reason that Sima Yi still remembers it.
So…
The person in front of me is... the owner of the Zhongxing Sword, the guy known as the Sword Master?
But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.
Today's emperor is no longer obsessed, so... what is this "Sword Master" obsessed with?
Immediately…
Sima Yi stopped staying and quickly caught up with the man in black.
"Wait for me, I'll go with you... follow you!"
just like…
Because of the tragedy of the Sima family, no one would doubt Sima Yi's position. After all... in the final analysis, a man rules the world with filial piety and kills his father and his enemies.
"Definitely..."
Not far away, two fast horses have been prepared.
The swordsman in black got on his horse, looked back at Sima Yi, and left only two words:
"Follow up"!
As soon as he said the words, "Dede, dede..." With a horse's neighing, the two men and two horses had disappeared on the official road.
…
…
Luoyang City, Baimahou Mansion…
No, to be precise, early this morning, the lintel was changed to "Nan Shou Hou Mansion".
This is the county prince...On the top, there is only one duke and king's position left.
Of course, this is a double blessing...
Xiahou Juan is pregnant in the front, and Baimahou's waist has become Nanshouhou in the back. These are all worthy of celebration.
It was lively all day long.
At night, it gets quiet here.
On a dim moonlit night, Xia Houjuan was wearing a cloak and carrying a lunch box, standing alone on the porch outside Cai Zhaoji's room, "Sister Zhaoji, it's me!"
After hearing Xia Houjuan's voice, Cai Zhaoji gently opened the door.
She announced to the outside world that she was going to retreat to compile the "Continuation of Han Shu", move all the books in the entire mansion into her own courtyard, and not allow anyone to disturb her.
Several Longxiao camp soldiers were even dispatched outside the courtyard, and the guards were quite impressive.
But... Xia Houjuan is an exception. In the entire Nanshou Mansion, she is the only one allowed to deliver meals to Sister Zhaoji.
certainly…
Because she was pregnant, Da Qiao took the initiative to let her do this.
But Xia Houjuan still insisted on delivering it himself...
He also said that the medical officer said that even if she is pregnant, it is fine to walk. Of course... this medical officer is also a trusted disciple of Cai Zhaoji.
In these extraordinary times, some things must be hidden!
"Coming?"
Cai Zhaoji looked around behind Xia Houjuan and closed the door after making sure no one was there, appearing very cautious.
Xia Houjuan quickly opened the meal, looked at Sister Zhaoji's gradually bulging belly, and said quickly: "This is the crucian carp soup that I cooked by myself. There are also grapes and eggs... The medical officer said that eating these is good for the fetus."
Cai Zhaoji looked at Xia Houjuan who was busy and felt a little distressed.
Tuannan said: "You come here to deliver meals three times a day, and many of the meals are cooked by yourself. It's hard for you."
"It's okay. I always like to cook, but now I'm pretending to be pregnant... My sisters have sent me a lot of supplements and ingredients, so I just cook for Sister Zhaoji in the kitchen in my yard... I'll send them over when they're ready. It won't take any trouble.
of."
Xia Houjuan is kind-hearted...
It was precisely because of this that she could understand Sister Zhaoji's dilemma, and that's why she suggested... to do this!
When Sister Zhaoji gave birth, Li Daitao stiffly... took the child to her side, and it was natural... With the child's identity, Sister Zhaoji's reputation was also established, and the world would not criticize her husband because of this matter.
After all, they are all husband’s children…
Xia Houjuan, who is kind-hearted, naturally regards him as his own son, so... everything seems to be logical.
"I feel sorry for you...I have to pretend to be pregnant during the day...I guess it must be very hard for you!" Cai Zhaoji took Xia Houjuan's delicate hand...
"No grievance." Xiahou Juan smiled. "There are still eight months to go, it will pass soon... In the next few months, I... I will try to go out as little as possible, and see those sisters as little as possible, in short... everything
Everything will go smoothly, just don’t worry, Sister Zhaoji.”
Hear this…
Cai Zhaoji stretched out her hand to gently stir Xia Houjuan's hair, and leaned back to let Xia Houjuan relax while also trying to relax every part of her body.
After pregnancy, my body always shakes inexplicably, as if I am very nervous.
However, Cai Zhaoji still opened her mouth to praise Xia Houjuan. "Brother Yu can marry you. It is a blessing that he has cultivated for three lifetimes."
There seemed to be some slight ripples in Xia Houjuan's clear eyes. She raised her eyes to look at Cai Zhaoji and said: "How can I be convinced that my husband has a sister like Sister Zhaoji? It is a blessing that has been cultivated in ten lives.
