Pang Tong even told how Liu Bei and others escaped from danger in the end, and how Liu Bei sent people to find Sun Shangxiang and others who had escaped. Liu Bei's face turned red and he kept coughing, as if he wanted to remind Pang Tong not to say what he shouldn't say.
.
Of course, Pang Tong turned a deaf ear and followed Zhuge Liang's trick of completely ignoring Liu Bei. He kept talking to himself, talking about how everyone returned and how he came to the scene.
——
While listening, everyone actually had a lot of comments, but after listening, everyone basically felt the same way.
If there is one word to sum up this journey, perhaps the word "chaos" is the most appropriate.
It's not that Liu Bei's itinerary was chaotic, but that the various parties in Jiangdong gave everyone the feeling that they were in disarray. Not only did they have their own agendas, but they were always going back and forth, and their attitudes were also uncertain.
Among them, Zhou Yu's attitude is the weirdest - logically speaking, he should be the most supportive of the marriage between Jiangdong and Liu Bei. Of course, Zhao Yun's survival later was indeed due to Liu Bei's superiority - but in fact, even with the hope of suffering a loss
Therefore, Zhou Yu should have tried his best to promote this marriage and signed the alliance agreement as soon as possible.
However…
"Mr. Fengchu...you...you said...that Zhou Yu...Zhou Gongjin was arrested?"
"exactly."
After Jian Yong and others heard Pang Tong's affirmative answer, they couldn't help but swallowed in fear.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Jiangdong is in chaos. All evidence shows that the current factional fighting in Jiangdong has even involved people like Zhou Yu.
Who is Zhou Yu?
The Grand Governor of Jiangdong, the man who controlled most of the military power in Jiangdong, held a very important position in the Jiangdong court. In a sense, without Zhang Zhao, he was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
But even he... Zhou Yu, who had led Sun Liu's coalition forces to defeat Cao Cao's 800,000-strong navy in the battle at Chibi, was another strange person in the world besides Zhuge Liang. He was also in this chaos, clanking into the air.
prison.
Not only that…
"No, no, no... It is reasonable for Zhou Yu to be brought down. After all, all the evidence points to this person... It is a fact that he has evil intentions against the lord. No matter what, Zhang Zhao and Lu Xun have done it.
a good thing…"
Sun Qian flatly denied those words in the crowd that defended Zhou Yu - as the head of diplomacy around Liu Bei, he had dealt with the Soochow people more than once. It was fine during the Chibi War, but in the past two years, Jiangdong has dealt with them
Jing Nan's increasingly tough attitude made Sun Qian extremely certain that Sun Quan or Zhou Yu must be planning to turn against them. Otherwise, how could the attitudes of those people from Jiangdong change so quickly?
However... Pang Tong's words made Sun Qian shut his mouth honestly.
"Does Shijun Sun really think so? Do you really think that with the wisdom of Governor Zhou Yu, he will make such a plan full of loopholes to perfunctoryly design your lord?"
"this…"
Sun Qian had nothing to say, and Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others finally fell into deep thought.
Weird - after Pang Tong reminded everyone of this chaos, everyone discovered the weirdness in it.
There is an illusion that it is just right, but it is just right, making people feel the deliberateness overflowing from it——
"Shi Yuan...the person you mentioned...that person named Lu Qinghou or Zhantang, who is he?"
"According to what you said... this person intercepted Sun Shangxiang who was fleeing at the time and escorted him all the way to Wuhui. However, not long after... Sun Shangxiang was captured by Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang... In the end, Sun Shangxiang
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao fled Jiangdong one after another, and it must be Lu Qinghou who defected to him. If he really followed your plan, in fact, all this must be this person's plan? And his purpose is to get rid of him.
Jiangdong took away Sun Shangxiang and others...what I said is right, right?"
"Hmm...Kong Ming, you also discovered something is wrong with this person?"
"That's natural... In the whole story, only this person's origins are the most obscure. And although he does not appear many times in person, his name appears again and again in the chats of those people - even Zhou Yu is also interested in it.
This person is very guarded, he must have done a lot of other things, right?"
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong finally started the kind of dialogue they had in the academic era - rigorous logic, prompting each other, and guiding each other. Just listening to the conversation between the two, everyone seemed to have discovered a hidden thread in the story - it was
Yes, there is a man named Lu Qinghou, or Zhantang, who carries out the entire story. Although he does not appear, he actually affects the beginning and end of the story.
"You don't have to worry..."
Hearing everyone's discussion, Pang Tong smiled and nodded, confirming everyone's guesses.
"I originally planned to describe this matter from a different perspective - the following story... some of which are my speculations, because... because this person's whereabouts are really elusive, but... I guarantee that these information,
Even among the upper-level officials in Jiangdong, very few people know about it. I suspect...it was Sun Quan and Zhou Yu who concealed important information that led to Zhou Yu being eventually caught in a series of traps, even though he was more fully prepared."
Pang Tong suddenly straightened his figure and said to everyone in a serious tone:
"This matter...should have started a few months ago..."
The next story... Pang Tong told it very slowly. In the story, everyone heard that a man named Lu Qinghou came from the unknown border of Jiangdong, with inhuman wisdom, overcoming all difficulties along the way, first in Yi
Near Linli Mountain in the county, I met a young girl who had escaped from marriage. Then, with extremely scarce troops, rudimentary equipment, and relying on strategy, I repelled thousands of soldiers who were chasing the girl.
Then he flowed all the way eastward along the river and came to Kuaiji, where he overthrew the local salt business magnate with lightning speed. After becoming famous in the first battle, he made his reputation known and used this incident to quickly compete with many other people in the Wuhui area.
Aristocratic families are connected.
And when he was in Wujun, he planned a Hongmen banquet, which unfortunately made Zhou Yu, who had to go out personally, fall into the trap. In the end, all the good opportunities were lost, and he did not arrive as early as possible on the wedding day. He, who united many aristocratic families, with a certain
With the goal as the direction, he planned a whole series of chain plans, and the final result was what Liu Bei had seen before... Everything that happened on the day of the wedding was unreasonable and was all due to this person's arrangements.
And the impact is also obvious. First of all...the marriage was completely ruined. Liu Bei was reminded in his bag and judged from the situation at that time that all the chaos was caused by the Jiangdong people, so he gave up on the marriage; on the Jiangdong side,
Of course, Sun Quan did not get any benefits. When Zhou Yu was arrested on the spot, Sun Quan did not make any appropriate counterattack. Not only that... the situation in the DPRK changed instantly. Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun and others appeared suddenly.
It has also become the source of the current chaos in Jiangdong.
"One more thing is that Lu Qinghou's original and simplest purpose was to take away Sun Shangxiang. He did it. Not only did he do it, he even took away Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao and gave them to the governor along the way.
