Huang Zhong and Wei Yan had reached an agreement and went to Xuzhou together.
Countless cockroaches are connected under Jiangxia City, and the water village near the right bank echoes the Jiangxia city wall on the left bank. Sun Ce stood with his sword pressed, and the generals from Jiangdong behind him lined up, looking at the head of Jiangxia City in the distance.
After more than half a month of siege, Sun Ce was already a little restless. Zhang Yun led the Xiangfan fleet to come to the rescue, making it difficult for the Jiangdong Army to do anything. Sun Ce was so anxious that he had no other option except to send the navy out to fight every day.
.
"Gong Jin!" Sun Ce turned his head and glanced at the handsome Zhou Yu: "If things continue like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Jiangxia."
Zhou Yu was born into a noble family. His grandfather Zhou Jing and his uncle Zhou Zhong were both Han Taiwei. His father Zhou Yi once served as the order of Luoyang. Zhou Yu himself was tall, handsome and ambitious. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were close friends. Sun Jian was a soldier at that time.
During the war against Dong Zhuo, his family moved to Shu County. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were the same age and had close contacts. Zhou Yu gave up the big house in Lunan for the Sun family to live in, and went to the hall to pay homage to Sun Ce's mother. Do the two families have anything in common? Zhou Yu and Sun Ce
He made friends with famous people from Jiangnan here and gained great reputation.
After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce inherited his father's ambition and commanded his troops. Zhou Yu became the prefect of Danyang from his father Zhou Shang. Zhou Yu went to visit. At that time, Sun Ce entered Liyang and was about to cross east. He wrote to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu led his troops to meet Sun Ce and gave him a message.
Strong support. Sun Ce was very happy and said: "I have won your honor, and you are harmonious."
Therefore, the two men fought together, first conquered Hengjiang and gained the advantage, then crossed the river and attacked Moling, defeated Zuo Rong and Xue Li, then captured Hushu and Jiangcheng, entered Qu'a, and forced Liu Yao away. At that time, Sun Ce
The number of people in his tribe has grown to tens of thousands. He said to Zhou Yu: "With this crowd, I can take over Wu Hui's mountains and cross the mountains. Your Majesty will return to Danyang." So Zhou Yu led his troops back to Danyang.
Soon, Yuan Shu sent his cousin Yuan Yin to replace Zhou Shang as the governor of Danyang. Zhou Yu followed Zhou Shang to Shouchun. Yuan Shu discovered that Zhou Yu was talented and wanted to recruit Zhou Yu as his general. Zhou Yu saw that Yuan Shu would not achieve anything in the end, so he only asked for
As the magistrate of Juchao County, Yuan Shu wanted to take the opportunity to return to Jiangdong, but Yuan Shu agreed to Zhou Yu's request.
In the third year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu returned to Wu Commandery via Juchao. Sun Ce heard that Zhou Yu had returned. He went out to welcome Zhou Yu in person and awarded him the rank of Jianwei Zhonglang General. He also assigned him 2,000 soldiers and fifty war cavalry. In addition, Sun Ce also gave him
Zhou Yu encouraged the band and built a residence for Zhou Yu. The rewards were so rich that no one could compare with them. Sun Ce also said in the order: "Zhou Gongjin is majestic and talented, and he is as good as me, and we are of the same flesh and blood."
Love. When I was in Danyang, he led his troops and dispatched ship provisions to help me, so that I could achieve great things. In terms of merit and deeds, today's reward is far from repaying the support he gave me at the critical moment!"
Zhou Yu was twenty-four years old at the time, and everyone in Wu County called him Zhou Lang.
Because the people in the Lujiang area always admired Zhou Yu's kindness and loyalty, Sun Ce ordered him to guard Niuzhu, and later he also served as the chief of Spring Valley. Soon, Sun Ce wanted to capture Jingzhou and worshiped Zhou Yu as the central protector. He also served as the prefect of Jiangxia and accompanied the army on the expedition. Zhou Yu,
Sun Ce conquered Wancheng and obtained the two daughters of Lord Qiao, both of whom were beautiful and beautiful. Sun Ce married Da Qiao, and Zhou Yu married Xiao Qiao.
Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu: "Although Duke Qiao's daughter has suffered from war and displacement, she is very lucky to have the two of us as her son-in-law."
Zhou Yu is a magnanimous and generous hero. Of course, magnanimity cannot be faked. On the one hand, it may be due to his naturally generous temperament. On the other hand, I think it is also closely related to the environment in which a person was young.
Generally, only true aristocrats can be magnanimous. Imagine a person who is born with a generous heart but lives in an environment where there is a lack of food and clothing. In order to survive, he has to fight for everything. A person's temperament is largely acquired.
, that’s what I’m talking about. The aristocrat is different, because he has had everything since he was a child, so he won’t easily compete with others. He may feel that it will lower his status. In addition, even if he feels noble, he doesn’t have to exclude anything.
Just like the vast ocean exists for it, and because it is so big, it can accommodate everything...
Let's take a look at whether Zhou Yu's birth is enough to be considered a noble. Although Zhou Yu is only the son of Luoyang Ling, and although he may be a side branch, the Zhou family in Lujiang is definitely a prominent family. When it comes to Zhou Yu's family background, it is not actually
How much does the Yuan family lose to the fourth generation and the third prince?
Zhou Rong was a minister, Rong Zijing and Jing Zizhong were both Taiwei. Zhong was Yu's great-uncle. Many of Zhou's brothers and nephews were officials. They usually made thousands of achievements, but Jing also recruited many talented people and was best at establishing family political relations.
Net. Zhou Yu, who was born in this kind of family background, will naturally be raised to be elegant and dignified, and to be very good at handling interpersonal relationships.
Zhou Yu later became an important general of the Sun family at the age of twenty-four. This was closely related to the help the Zhou family provided to Sun Ce when he raised his army. Zhou Yu was just a small nest leader. If he had not borrowed troops and food from his father, he
What great contribution can he make to Sun Ce? Therefore, without the support of his family, there would be no Zhou Yu later.
In addition, Zhou Yu also had a deep knowledge of folk arts. Once, in the Lingyan Pavilion of Fanbo Garden in Wu County, a Jiangnan singer wearing palace clothes was playing a song of Gongwan New Rhyme with a lonely look on his face.
, the sound of the zheng is deep and long, simple and clumsy, just like the summer sunshine. Although it has seven points of charm, it also has three points of laziness.
While the karaoke was playing slowly, I heard a burst of laughter from the flowers in the distance from the shadow of the trees. At the end of the round door, two couples came singing!
Headed by Sun Ce and Da Qiao from Yingying Yanyan, the couple walked hand in hand while looking at the swimming fish in the big pond of Fanbo Garden. Da Qiao took a tree branch to play with while watching, and from time to time he smiled at Sun Ce's charming smile.
Laughing. Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao in the back were in another scene: Zhou Yu was drunk and his steps were messy. From time to time, he was in danger of falling into the pool, while Xiao Qiao had a worried look on his face and hugged Zhou Yu around the waist to prevent him from falling.
fall.
Sun Ce saw Xiao Qiao's embarrassment from the water, turned around and said with a smile: "I am so lucky, I am so happy to be hugged by a beauty!" Da Qiao covered his mouth and smiled: "He is drunk, you didn't make him drunk, sorry.
Say it!" Xiao Qiao is only sixteen years old, and Miao Li's face still looks a bit childish. She pursed her lips and said: "Brother-in-law and sister are so ruthless, always bullying us younger ones!" Sun Ce laughed and said: "No way.
, I'm a little jealous of Gong Jin, I want to imitate his drunkenness so that the beauty can hug me!" After saying that, he really got upset and staggered into the pool. Da Qiao was shocked.
, hurriedly hugged her husband, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, stop teasing us, don't really fall down!" Sun Ce laughed and said: "It's so comfortable, it's really useful."
When they arrived at Lingyan Pavilion, Sun Ce and his wife were laughing while listening to the singer playing the piano, while Zhou Yu fell in Xiao Qiao's arms and seemed drunk. He kept mumbling, and Xiao Qiao touched her husband's face and smiled: "You are here
What are you talking about? I won't let you say it!" Zhou Yu was still muttering without realizing it, so Xiao Qiao took a stack of soft cakes and put it on Zhou Yu's mouth, then fed him and ate it himself.
I don't know how long this peaceful scene had passed, but Zhou Yu suddenly sat up and said, "I'm tired of listening to the song "Mountains and Flowing Waters", so I asked her to play a piece of Guangling San.
Guangling San, formerly known as Guangling Zhixi, is a folk music spread in Guangling during the Eastern Han Dynasty. There is a meaningful story behind it! According to the classic "Qin Cao" written by Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Nie Zheng was a Korean during the Warring States Period, and his father
He was a swordsmith. Because the sword was late in delivery, he was killed by the King of Han. Nie Zheng heard that the King of Han liked music, so in order to avenge his father, he went to Mount Tai to learn piano skills for ten years, and disfigured himself so that no one could recognize him.
Ten years later, Nie Zheng entered Korea with unique skills. He made the King of Han crazy and drunk with his amazing music. Nie Zheng took the opportunity to draw a dagger from the belly of the piano and stabbed the King of Han to death. In front of him, he was also heroic.
Death.
Later generations composed the Guangling San based on this story. Because it is so difficult to play, most luther players forget to stop.
When the singer heard that he was asked to play this piece, his face turned red at first, and he chuckled and said: "I am not very good at playing the piano, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. In addition, the sound quality of this piano is high. Playing it will make the general laugh!"...
Zhou Yu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, a famous piece should be paired with a famous piano to show its exquisiteness. Come on, bring me my Qiutong." The two boys ran out as fast as they could.
After a while, the zither boy came with the zither. Zhou Yu took the instrument from Anhao and said with a smile: "Just play with confidence, come and try my fine collection." The singer stretched his fingers and slid over the zither, and a string of gold and stones appeared.
The sound burst out like spring thunder across the sky, and the lingering sound was endless. The singer couldn't help but praise: "What a great piano!"
As she played, she quickly entered a state of no one, with a look of sadness on her pretty face. Zhou Yu drank with Sun Ce while listening. Sun Ce smiled and said: "My lord, I just feel that this song is not only clear but also deep."
, why can't you hear the beauty of it anymore?" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Brother doesn't understand music, so he doesn't know its beauty! Guangling San was very peaceful and melodious at first, like the moon shining on the empty mountain, the wind passing through the flower stream, as calm and peaceful, but later it became flat.
It aroused an aura of excitement, and the sounds of gold and iron horses echoed endlessly, reaching deep into my heart; at the end, I was left with endless sighs, full of righteous indignation, and full of pride. So as soon as I listened to this song, I suddenly felt
Fighting spirit.”
Sun Ce smiled and said, "I'm so magnanimous, let's have a drink!" Zhou Yu brought the wine glass to his lips and suddenly shouted, "No, you played a wrong note!" It turned out that the singer was distracted and overheard Zhou Yu's words.
After a wonderful discussion, admiration naturally arose in her heart. As soon as she was moved by emotion, her hands trembled and she changed the original bass note into a strong note. All this was heard by Zhou Yu who was intoxicated by the sound of the piano and his drunken state.
clear.
The singer's face turned pale and she quickly apologized: "General, I -" Zhou Yu smiled and said: "I'm very good at playing, and I'm really sorry for you. From now on, you can stay in my house, and sometimes I can listen to you play for a while."
Music can also help people express their feelings." The woman blushed and said with a low smile: "I am lucky enough to hear the general's wonderful talk today. I have benefited a lot from it. I will learn more about the piano skills!" After saying this, her face was filled with joy.
The flowers flew away in the willows.
Later generations shortened this story into six words: "The song was wrong, Zhou Lang took care of it".
Therefore, when Zhou Yu was listening to someone's performance, even if he drank a few more glasses of wine and was a little drunk, if there was a slight mistake in the performance, it would not be hidden from his ears. Whenever he found a mistake, he would look at the performer and tell him.
He smiled slightly and reminded the player that the note was wrong. This naturally became a good story.
Zhou Yu plays a very important role in Sun Ce's mind. When Sun Ce asked about it, Zhou Yu said calmly and calmly: "It is the biggest benefit to attract the Xiangfan navy. I'm afraid that by this time, Cao Jun has already invaded Xiangfan."
Sun Ce nodded: "What does Gong Jin mean?"
Zhou Yu said: "As long as there is accurate information, why doesn't Bo Fu immediately turn to attack Jiangling and the four counties of Jingnan?"
This was Zhou Yu's real plan. Cao Cao captured Xiangfan. Taking advantage of Cao Jun's unsteady foothold, Jiangdong Army immediately occupied Jiangling and Jingnan counties. In this way, Jiangdong Army not only controlled the entire Jiangzuo, but also occupied Jingnan.
Each county has thousands of miles of fertile land. In the future, there will be 200,000 soldiers. This is the capital to fight for the world. In time, we will take the opportunity to attack Yizhou and capture Hanzhong. The world will be divided into two, and Sun Ce will monopolize one.
What kind of person is Zhou Yu? Not only is he of noble birth and outstanding, but he also has a lot of talent. He has been brewing this plan for a long time. How can Jiangdong Army alone conquer Jingzhou in one go? But it is different now. Cao Cao goes south.
, the chaos in Jingzhou, if we can seize this opportunity, we can seize Jingnan first. After all, Cao's army marched by land, while Jiangdong's army used navy to go down the river, and the speed was much faster than Cao's army.
Sun Ce was delighted: "But, what should the Xiangfan Navy do now?"
Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu only needs to wait for the news. As long as the news from Xiangfan comes, Zhang Yun will definitely be rewarded. At that time, Bo Fu only needs to send an envoy to Zhang Yun and promise him a generous salary. This Yun will be rewarded."
The foundation was lost all of a sudden, and the navy could not get enough food and fodder to replenish it. It had to either hunt for our navy or surrender. When the time comes, the two navies would merge into one and head south as soon as possible.”….

A few days later, news came from Xiangfan. Sun Ce was refreshed and immediately summoned Zhou Yu: "In that case, who should be sent to see Zhang Yun?"
Zhou Yu said: "Zi Jing is honest and honest, so he can win Zhang Yun's trust."
Sun Ce was overjoyed and hurriedly summoned Lu Su. Lu Su saluted Sun Ce and said, "I wonder what the general has to say."
The Eastern Han Dynasty gradually fell with the suppression of the Yellow Turban Army. The separatist forces in various places continued to expand, heroes rose up, and the world was in chaos. At this time, Lu Su not only did not manage family affairs, but instead gave away a lot of money and sold land to help the poor and make friends with wise men.
.For this reason, he is deeply supported by the villagers.
At that time, Zhou Yu was the head of Juchao. Hearing the name of Lu Su, he brought hundreds of people to visit him and asked him to donate some grain. At that time, Lu Su had two large round granaries in his home, each containing 3,000 hu of rice. Zhou Yu just
After saying that he wanted to borrow food, Lu Su did not hesitate and immediately pointed to one of the warehouses and gave it to him. After this incident, Zhou Yu was convinced that Lu Su was a unique person and took the initiative to make friends with him. The two established a relationship similar to that in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The unbreakable friendship between Gongsun Qiao and Jizha.
When the melee between the heroes was about to spread to Lu Su's hometown, Lu Su moved his family to the East City to avoid harm. The East City at that time was the jurisdiction of Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu heard his name and asked him to be the mayor of the East City. But Lu Su discovered
Yuan Shu's subordinates' laws were too weak to achieve great things, so he led more than a hundred people to move south to Juchao to join Zhou Yu. When moving south, he put the old and weak in front, and led the agile and strong young people behind. Yuan Shu learned that Lu Su had moved to
, hurriedly came to stop him. Lu Su lined up the strong men, raised his bow and arrows, and said to the pursuers: "You are all men, and you should understand the general trend. Nowadays, people are leaving chaos. If you have merit, you will not get rewards, and if you have no merit, you will not get it."
If you can't be punished, why are you persecuting me?" After saying that, he ordered his people to put their shields on the ground, and fired with their bows from a distance. The arrows penetrated the shields. On the one hand, the pursuers felt that Lu Su's words were reasonable;
It is estimated that the enemy could not do anything to him with their own strength, so they had to retreat. Lu Su successfully reached Juchao.
Soon, Zhou Yu crossed the Yangtze River eastward and went to Sun Ce. Lu Su went with him and left his family in Qu'a. After meeting Sun Ce, Sun Ce admired Lu Su very much. Later, Lu Su's grandmother passed away, and he returned to Dongcheng to attend to the funeral.
Liu Ziyang was a good friend of Lu Su and wrote to him. The letter said: "Now there are many heroes in the world, and my son is so talented that it is especially suitable for today. I am in a hurry to welcome my mother, but I have nothing to do and I am stuck in the east city. Those who are close to Zheng Bao are here today."
Chaohu Lake has a population of over ten thousand, the land is fertile, and many people in the Lujiang River rely on it. How can I be a mere disciple? Looking at the situation, we can gather a lot of people. We must not lose time and move forward quickly."
Lu Su agreed with Liu Ziyang's opinion. After burying his grandmother, he returned to Qu'a. He immediately packed up his clothes and planned to join Zheng Bao. It happened that Zhou Yu had already brought Lu Su's mother to Wu County. Lu Su went to see him and mixed Liu Ziyang's suggestion with his own.
After telling him all his plans, Zhou Yu left him behind and asked him to come to him first.
At this time, Lu Su was not Sun Ce's subordinate, but was only a guest minister attached to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu asked Lu Su to persuade Zhang Yun to surrender this time, hoping that Lu Su could be appreciated by Sun Ce. If this matter could be done,
It is inevitable that Sun Ce would like Zhou Yu's good friend, and Zhou Yu also believed in Lu Su's talents.
Sun Ce looked at Lu Su carefully, then turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, can he really make this happen?".
Zhou Yu said seriously: "Zijing is a very human being, my lord, you can give it a try."
Sun Ce then told Lu Su about the surrender, and Lu Su responded to the order and went to Zhang Yun's water village.
…………………………………………………………………………
However, Zhang Yun was shocked when he received the message from Xiangfan. He never expected that this expedition would turn the whole Jingzhou upside down. After that, the food and wages shipped from Xiangfan were gradually cut off, and the navy could not think of anything.
Afterwards, Zhang Yun sent people to Jiangxia to ask for food.
Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, allocated some food, but it was just enough for the Xiangfan Navy. For a while, Zhang Yun suffered from a headache.
If we retreat now, the Jiangdong navy will definitely follow and pursue us. It will be natural for us to lose our troops and generals at that time. However, if the stalemate here continues and Zhang Yun loses his backup, it will be difficult for Zhang Yun to continue.
More importantly, Zhang Yun is now a lonely ghost and Liu Jingzhou has become a prisoner. What should he do?
