He saw the river in the distance and Wu Jun nearby.
There are also the soldiers and people waving their arms above and below the city.
He also saw the young man wearing coarse linen on the city wall, raising his head and meeting his gaze.
He even saw some guys trying to huddle up and hide behind others, like those guys trying to huddle in the shadows, and seemed to smell the smell emanating from those rotten guys.
Then he knew that this rotten smell might not come from some guy...
Countless eyes focused on him.
Zhou Yu raised his hand and smiled, as if to say hello.
"Jiangdong, you're fine..."
After getting off the boat, Zhou Yu sat on horseback under the armored guard and slowly entered the city.
The welcoming people and soldiers along the road were like the river in the distance, coming from the horizon and then connecting to the horizon.
The people who had endured a night of fear and anxiety came out of their hiding places, carrying some fear after the disaster and some meager hope. Some were naked babies, some were white-haired old people, some were
There are pole porters who never forget the guy eating wherever they go, and there are also women with disheveled hair who are holding a child and looking at him with a silly smile...
Their shriveled, yellowed faces, and their somewhat cloudy eyes were filled with awe and fear, as well as a hint of expectation and hope.
The sunlight fell on Zhou Yu's body and reflected on his blood-red cloak. His whole body seemed to be in flames, burning bright red.
Some elders from Jiangdong who were dim-sighted narrowed their eyes.
Through the scene in front of them, the old people seemed to see that many years ago, when they were not so old, they had also seen Zhou Yu burning so hotly, and the young and handsome man beside Zhou Yu.
, another high-spirited young man showed a confident and fearless smile to the people at that time, as if he wanted to embrace a bright future.
The sunshine at that time seemed to be as bright as today.
In corners where the sun doesn't shine, there are some people who huddle their faces and bodies under the shadows, looking at Zhou Yu and sneering.
"He is really good at lying..."
"That's right, how can you be honest if you do this?"
"Playing with our emotions, deceiving our feelings."
"That's right, it insults our intelligence..."
"..."
They were hiding in the corner like mice, rustling, and their eyes revealed the kind of shrewdness that was born in the womb.
"No matter what he says this time, you can't believe it!"
"Yes, I can't believe it!"
They are resentful, hiding in the shadows and spewing poisonous foam. In fact, only they know whether they are full of envy and jealousy in their hearts. They will never reveal it anyway. They consider themselves businessmen.
They are rational people, and they are the ones who pay the most attention to rules, but in fact, every one of them knows in their heart that the reason why they pay attention to rules and pay attention to them is because they are crawling by the rules all the time.
They are all looking for loopholes in the rules, looking for sewer pipes and dark sewers under the ground.
From beginning to end, they held up the sign of freedom and talked about the importance of the law. However, those high tones and fanatical expressions did not affect their hearts. Therefore, when they saw people walking on the ground, they were always filled with excitement. They had low self-esteem, and then evolved from inferiority to arrogance. They called themselves a "human spirit" and turned finding loopholes in the rules into their skill and a tool to make money. But they didn't know that they had really become the so-called "human spirit", and they gradually became "human spirits". out of humanity.
"Captain, you are fine..."
Sun Quan met Zhou Yu.
Sun Quan noticed that many people were looking at this place eagerly, including his personal guards, ordinary soldiers, and servants. The eagerness in these people's eyes was not for Sun Quan, but for Zhou Yu.
"Gong Jin, such a plan is a bit risky?" Sun Quan called Zhou Yu to sit in the hall, and after driving away the surrounding soldiers and servants, he whispered, "Have you ever thought about what might happen to us if we fail?" , the consequences may be unimaginable...』
Although the Jiangdong nobles are basically watching the show this time, if they end up, then there will definitely be more than just Sun Hao...
After all, there is a fence-rider Zhu Zhi around Wu County. If he also completely succumbs to the Jiangdong gentry or Sun Hao, then the consequences may be disastrous.
After all, Zhou Yu was "dead" before.
What if Zhu Zhi believes it and has some thoughts that he shouldn't have, such as thinking that he can be called the boss around Wu County?
Then Cao Cao in the north received the news and raised his troops to go south...
At this moment, Sun Quan was a little scared.
During the incident, Sun Quan didn't have time to think about so many what-ifs, but now that he was calm, when he thought about it again, he felt his scalp was a little numb. He couldn't imagine what might happen if something went wrong during the planning process, and then Chain collapse, the consequences of total failure.
Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan.
"Gong Jin has already made arrangements?" Sun Quan thought he understood the other party's eyes.
Come to think of it, it is Zhou Yu after all. Under such circumstances, if you dare to do this, you must have something to rely on.
Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan again.
It looked like he was looking at his naughty child, or caring about the mentally retarded.
"If it fails, then everyone will die together." Zhou Yu said calmly, "Since everyone is dead, who will care about the consequences? Can you imagine the consequences?"
Sun Quan was stunned.
Zhou Yu raised his head and seemed to see himself following a figure...
"Bo Fu, you have to think about the consequences..."
"Brother Bo Fu! If you want to lead these people, you can't speak too straightforward words all day long. You need to appear mysterious... righteousness, loyalty, these words sound empty, but they are actually very important..."
"Bo Fu, you have to convince those who don't follow you, so that they can feel the power from your words, so that they will be afraid, and then these people will not cause trouble..."
"Brother Bo Fu, you have to make everyone believe in you, including your enemies..."
"Bofu..."
"Oh, Gongjin, stop nagging. If you fail, you will most likely die. If you die by then, how can you think about so many things? Hahahaha... let's go hunting..."
"Bo Fu, you're fine..."
Zhou Yu whispered slightly, laughed, then coughed a few times, and then the coughing became more serious. Finally, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and felt that the world was darkening, shaking and tilting, and he fell down.
"Commander! Brother Gongjin!" Sun Quan shouted, rushed forward, picked up Zhou Yu, "Doctor! Send the doctor quickly!"
Zhou Yu reached out and grabbed Sun Quan's arm, "Seal, seal the news..."
……_(|3 ∠)_……
Sun Quan gave up his backyard to let Zhou Yu rest.
All those who were on duty around him or served him were Sun Quan's most important people.
Sitting next to Zhou Yu's bed, Sun Quan frowned and looked sideways at the treetops in the courtyard that were swaying in the wind.
Zhou Yu took some decoction and seemed to feel better.
It just seems...
The doctor kowtowed and apologized, his scalp was bruised. He said that the best he could do was to suspend the treatment, but not to cure it, and even if it was suspended, it would not last long...
This made Sun Quan surprised, angry, and a little scared at the same time. The complex emotions were mixed together, knocking, and washing, causing the shell of his personal defense and prejudice against Zhou Yu to finally crack, and then
Being impacted and falling...
Only then did Sun Quan realize that this person turned out to be so important.
Sun Quan had never seen such a weak side of Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's hair is already a little gray.
Zhou Yu's body was actually very thin. His thin body seemed to be so light that it would be blown away by the wind.
The doctor who treated Zhou Yu was a family member of the Sun family. He trembled and said that Zhou Yu's vitality was almost exhausted and he might enter eternal sleep at any time...
Sun Quan was extremely angry, almost arrogant, and issued a cruel order, asking the doctor to save Zhou Yu at all costs, otherwise he would be buried with the doctor!
Sun Quan knew that such an order was unreasonable. He knew that some people were terminally ill and could not be cured by medicine.
In the past, Sun Quan liked to talk about truth. He felt that everything should have some truth. Just like as the lord of Jiangdong, shouldn't he be supported by everyone for his truth? He wanted to march into the Northern Expedition to welcome the emperor and fight against the rebels.
, in principle, shouldn’t everyone respond happily and obey the circumstances?
Many people don't know how to cherish some things, some things, and some people when they originally have them. They don't cherish love when they have a lover, and they don't cherish their body when they have health.
At this moment, Sun Quan finally understood what Zhou Yu represented to him...
He is the only one, the most valuable, the one who can best relieve the current difficulties he is facing, the core of Jiangdong, and the role model for the soldiers.
He is irreplaceable.
No one can compare.
"Brother Gongjin..." Sun Quan murmured in a low voice, "Brother Gongjin, you have done enough... There is no need to risk your life for such a thing... Even if you can catch ten or a hundred thieves, Chieftain, how can he compare to Brother Gongjin..."
Sun Quan was suspicious.
In other words, people in power basically have to have a suspicious attribute, otherwise they will definitely be sold out. But on this day, at this moment, Sun Quan suddenly hated his own suspiciousness, and he put his suspicion on Zhou Yu. , this is simply a humiliation to Zhou Yu, and also to Sun Quan's own stupidity.
Before, Sun Quan felt that it was good to catch one Sun Hao and solve the hidden danger, but now he feels that it is not worth it at all. In his opinion, even a hundred Sun Hao are not as good as one Zhou Yu.
"Brother Gongjin, you don't have to go so far..." Sun Quan lowered his head and sighed, "You have given enough to Jiangdong. Just leave this kind of thing to others... I'm sorry for you. ...』
"Ahem..." Zhou Yu seemed to wake up a little and coughed twice, "No, ahem, there's nothing I'm sorry for, it's just whether I did it well or not..."
Zhou Yu saw in Sun Quan's eyes a guilt that he had rarely seen before.
But Sun Quan only saw Zhou Yu's calmness, like a calm sea with hidden waves, and all his emotions were hidden under the water. Even his weakness and illness seemed to not cause any waves.
"Protect this Jiangdong, protect the inheritance your brother left behind..." Zhou Yu said calmly, as if he was calmly treating the end of his own life, "After I die, the situation in Jiangdong will be unbalanced again. What are you going to do? How are you going to protect everything in front of you?』
Zhou Yu's voice was very soft, as if it were like the mottled shadows of trees falling under the sunlight, with form but no sound.
Zhou Yu remembered the promise he made before Sun Ce's bedside, "Brother Bo Fu, I will protect everything for you." At that time, he chose Sun Quan and stabilized Jiangdong.
Now, this question arises again, but the person who answered it has become Sun Quan.
"Brother Gongjin!" Sun Quan sat on the side of the bed, his eyes full of sadness, "Brother Gongjin, you should cultivate yourself well...the doctor said it can be cured..."
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and pressed it on Sun Quan's arm, "You haven't called me brother for a long time..."
Sun Quan, who was following Sun Ce around before, had a pure smile, like a piece of white cotton and linen cloth. At that time, Sun Quan was always talking about "Brother Gong Jin", asking why this and why, and even asked Zhou Yu's relationship is better than his relationship with Sun Ce. Because Sun Ce will beat him when he is upset, but Zhou Yu will not.
Sun Quan was stunned, his eyes could not help but heat up, and he lowered his head, "Brother Gong Jin..."
Sun Quan didn't know when he started to doubt Zhou Yu, wondering whether Zhou Yu's various actions had any other meanings. Just like last night, Sun Quan was still doubting...
This kind of doubt is like mold.
It was just a little bit at first, then it was a piece. Even if it is washed repeatedly, it will leave a deep mark.
It was not until now that Sun Quan discovered that Zhou Yu was still the same Zhou Yu. He had never had the slightest hesitation or confusion.
"You didn't like me taking care of you before... It's better now, you have to start taking care of yourself..." Zhou Yu comforted Sun Quan, "I can't walk on this road, and you have to go on your own from now on."
Let's go... cheer up, I still have something to talk about... Don't you think that Jiangdong will be peaceful from now on..."
"..." Sun Quan was startled for a moment, then sat upright, "Yes, please give me some advice from Brother Gongjin..."
"I'm afraid you have known for a long time that I have a group of people who are hiding in the market to do some spying..." Zhou Yu nodded, "There is no need to deny it...otherwise, what is your school secretary doing..."
I didn’t intend to hide this thing from you when I set up this hidden assassination... I will transfer this manpower to you, but it is best to let Zijing take care of it..."
After Sun Ce was assassinated, Zhou Yu noticed Jiangdong's deficiencies in intelligence spying and countering spies and assassins, so he began to build up manpower in this area. At the same time, he also infiltrated, bribed, and even assassinated the princes in the north.
Sun Ce died in an assassination, is it possible that Zhou Yu still has to abide by any rules?
"I sent a hidden assassin into Guanzhong to investigate the situation... These information will be forwarded to you later..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "Guanzhong is the biggest enemy... Cao Mengde is not his opponent..."
"Hussar?" Sun Quan said in response, "Cao Mengde... Cao Mengde is sitting on the land of four states, with fertile land in Hebei and Henan, and millions of people, but he is... unable to guard against Hussar?"
"Yes. The land of Cao Mengde's four states is actually the place of the four wars, plus Guanzhong... If you look at the information I found out, you will know... Hussar is a strange species..." Zhou Yu lightly clicked
He nodded, "So, join forces with Cao to fight Fei... make good friends with Cao Mengde, and express surrender to the emperor. Cao Mengde will most likely go with the flow and not send troops south... You can take this opportunity to develop in Jiangdong, don't focus on the north."
, but to look for opportunities to attack Sichuan and Shu... The Hussars have a large territory, but the core is Guanzhong, and the other is Sichuan and Shu... Only after winning Sichuan and Shu, Jiangdong will be qualified to compete for the world..."
"Unite with Cao to fight against Fei, and advance to seize Sichuan and Shu..." Sun Quan repeated.
"As for the internal affairs of Jiangdong... give up the fight with the Jiangdong surnames here in Wu County, and use this as a condition to ask them to support you in moving the capital to Moling. These Jiangdong surnames will definitely be willing to cooperate..." Zhou Yu continued, "There is nothing near Moling.
The big houses are restricting you... The land reclamation, mines, workshops, and workshops are all in your hands. Only then can you compete with the big names... There are also talents. Remember, if I am gone, you must be good to Mr. Zhang and respect him.
Veterans, they are your strength to compete with the Jiangdong family... Promote more poor families and let them train and learn under Mr. Zhang and the veterans, so that you can have people available..."
"You must remember, "In a house of horses and horses, there are no chickens or dolphins. In a house that cuts ice, there is no cattle or sheep. In a house with hundreds of horses, there is no cattle that gathers ministers. It is better to have rogue ministers than to gather ministers. The country
Don’t use profit for profit, but use righteousness for profit."...Ahem..."
Zhou Yu may have talked too much, so he started coughing again. Sun Quan was so frightened that he yelled and ordered someone to call the doctor quickly.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu did not vomit blood this time, but coughed for a while and then calmed down a bit.
"It's okay, I should be able to survive for another year and a half..." Zhou Yu patted Sun Quan's arm and comforted Sun Quan, "If you don't understand something, you can still ask me... The responsibility of the Lord of Jiangdong is not
So light..."
"Logically speaking, I should have talked to you more before..." Zhou Yu said with a smile, his voice still gentle, "But at that time I always felt that I still had time, and you also needed time to grow, so...
Now that I have no time, I realized that we haven’t had such a good talk for a long time... It’s okay, it’s okay..."
Sun Quan held Zhou Yu's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face, "Brother Gongjin, it's my fault, it's all my fault..."
If I were earlier, earlier, earlier...
If you could notice that Zhou Yu has more white hair on his head...
If I could notice that Zhou Yu's body had become thinner...
if……
But there are all kinds of things in the world, but there is no "if".
