Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Zhou Yu was the first to speak: "How big is the fleet, and how many stones are there?" The hand holding the wine bottle shook slightly, with a smile on his brow, his black eyes were clear, and there was no trace of drunkenness.

The small captain leaned over and replied: "There are twenty hundred stone boats in total, the first five boats only set half sails, and when they saw our army patrolling on the water, they immediately furled the sails, unfurled Liu Bei's banner, and asked to see the lord."

Liu Bei is here again?

Li Mu didn't drink as much as Zhou Yu, but his eyes were already stained with alcohol, and his cheeks and ears were a little hot.She pressed the back of her hand to her cheek to cool down, and frowned.

After the First World War in Xuzhou, Cao Cao did not take Liu Bei seriously. Instead, he represented him as the governor of Guangling and left him in Guangling to face the Jiangdong Army across the river.Li Mu didn't know that this was Chen Deng's strategy to Liu Bei, but he only vaguely saw Cao Cao's intention to use Liu Bei to contain Jiangdong.

Although she didn't believe that Liu Bei would be willing to be used by Cao Cao, but these days, this uncle of the Han Emperor really stayed at the mouth of the Guangling River honestly, without any moth.It almost made her think that he was going to wait until the day when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao started a full-scale war, and went directly to Cao Cao's back.

It was dark at this time, and he actually crossed the river with only twenty boats.Still want to see?

"Then...does Shao want to see him?" Li Mu lowered his head and asked Sun Shao.

Sun Shao's clear eyes blinked, he waved his hand to the schoolboy, and said loudly, "Please."

The clear and crisp voice was steady and graceful, and if you don't look at him still holding Li Mu's clothes corner with one hand, he does have the appearance of being ordered by a superior.

Li Mu nodded with a smile, and raised his hand to all the soldiers: "Liu Xuande came here smelling the aroma of wine, we must not be too stingy. Add a desk, and invite him to sit and meet the heroes of Jiangdong."

Originally, some of the soldiers put down their wine cups out of precaution and were ready to fight at any time. Some whispered, guessing Liu Bei's intentions here, and some secretly cursed because they thought about the night when they were attacked by Guan Yu in Xuzhou. Listening to Li Mu directly Mocking Liu Bei's lack of food and wine, full of provocation, they couldn't help laughing, some people immediately shouted to the waiter to prepare to add another table, some said to add to the last seat, and some suggested to put it next to the wine urn, let him take a good smell Smell the wine.

The scene became noisy again, Sun Shao raised his head to look at Li Mu, then at Zhou Yu, and saw that the two sat down leisurely, showing no intention of stopping them.Zhou Yu moved his lips to Li Mu's ear and whispered. Li Mu raised the corners of his lips slightly, nodded, and said something in a low voice.The little guy felt relieved, and sat down in front of the two, but leaned back slightly, listening intently to the conversation between the two of them amidst the noise of the crowd.Hearing Li Mu vaguely mention "Xuzhou night attack" and "settlement", he tilted his head and thought for a while, then secretly sighed for Liu Bei.

There were not many people brought by Liu Bei, and there were only two people brought into the county mansion, and they were all acquaintances.

Guan Yu was dressed in a green robe, with a jujube-colored face, and long eyebrows with phoenix eyes. He held the sword at his waist with one hand, and put the other behind his back. Without unnecessary movements, he just stood there, like a long knife drawn out of its sheath, sharp and sharp. Seepage, straight to the eyebrows.

The other person, dressed in white and short in brown, tall and heroic, was Zhao Yun.

Li Mu touched the bridge of his nose and suddenly smiled.

Liu Bei made Chen Deng's strategy, and gave up his plan to vote for Yuan Shao under Cao Cao's nose, and instead wanted to go to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.I don't want to encounter a drought this year. Although the disaster is not so serious that the land is full of hunger and the people's livelihood is difficult to survive, let alone recruiting soldiers with surplus food, even the food and grass for the Guangling garrison, if it is not for Chen Deng, a Diannong school who was born in Xuzhou's aristocratic family Wei, it is already difficult to maintain.

If Liu Bei wanted soldiers but no soldiers, and food but no food, even if Liu Bei wanted to rely on Liu Biao, he might not even be able to get the food consumed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's subordinates along the way, so it has been delayed until now.

Liu Bei came at night, but he did not expect that it was just in time for Lu Meng's reception banquet. Before he entered the gate of the county mansion, he could smell the strong aroma of wine. Thinking about it, he could only use small buckets to distribute food in Guangling, but Jiangdong still had Yu Liang brewed wine and held a banquet, and suddenly felt a little bit of injustice in his heart.

Moreover, the little school leading the way led him directly to the banquet.What he used here was an excuse to borrow food from Jiangdong for Guangling, but he actually wanted to go to Jingzhou by boat.Although there was a feud between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, after all, Sun Jian died under the cold arrows of Huang Zu's army. Now that Huang Zu is dead, the old enmity between Liu Biao and Sun's is not an unsolvable deadlock, but there are many people with mixed opinions In such a scene, how could he open his mouth to persuade the Sun's children not to remember Sun Jian's hatred?

All the generals gathered at the banquet, Liu Bei was feeling depressed, Li Mu had already led Sun Shao to stand up, and greeted him with hand in hand: "I don't know that the envoy arrives suddenly, and the wine leftovers are cold, and I can't entertain the guests, I hope you will forgive me."

Sun Shao still remembered Liu Bei's saying that Jiangdong had no owner in front of Sun Celing. He didn't have the slightest impression of this ordinary-looking big-eared thief with a white face and a slight beard, but he had a good impression of Zhang Fei, who had a black face and black beard, and a strong body. .Glancing behind Liu Bei, seeing that Zhang Fei didn't come this time, he curled his lips boredly, and his eyes fell on the other two for a while.

"It was Bei who came without reporting and disturbed the Marquis of Wu's banquet." Liu Bei saluted Sun Shao deeply, with all the courtesy, he didn't care that the seven-year-old child was half his body taller than him, and he didn't seem to remember that he had said Jiang Dong in front of his face. ownerless.

Li Mu admired him for being so thick-skinned.

"Is Zilong safe?" Taking advantage of Sun Shao's return, Li Mu nodded towards Zhao Yun, and with a glance, he noticed that there was no sword on his waist, only the belt hanging by his side, obviously he had untied the sword outside the door .

Looking at the sabers on Guan Yu and Liu Bei again, he immediately understood.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists in return, and spoke modestly: "Young Master Lao Quan misses you." The unarmed young general's posture was still as straight as a gun barrel, without compromising his heroic posture on the battlefield.Standing behind Liu Bei, neither humble nor overbearing.

Liu Bei then said, "I am so grateful for the kindness of the Marquis Wu Cheng in saving Zilong..."

The matter of Li Mu accepting Wu Chenghou, everyone with knowledge in Jiangdong knows that this is Cao Cao's method of divorce, so few people really use this title in person, and they still call Li Mu "Mr. Quan".As a result, Zhao Yun's habitual address of "Mr. Quan" is different from Liu Bei's address, and it fell into the ears of Jiangdong soldiers present, and there was a bit of a difference between closeness and estrangement immediately.

"Why did Liu Shijun say that?" Li Mu also noticed the difference, and was even more happy that there was such a difference. He raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, "Quan Su admires General Zilong's loyalty, so how can he expect to repay him with kindness?" people?"

She saved Zhao Yun, so what does it matter to Liu Bei?There was a pause in the voice, and from the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a faint white layer of Zhao Yunchui's hand joints on his side, as if he had clenched it tightly, and with a move in his heart, he reached out and patted Zhou Yu's shoulder, like a smile Feixiao: "If you talk about it in detail according to what the envoy said, I rescued Zilong from Yuan Shao, and Gongjin rescued General Guan from Cao Cao. The envoy owes so much in Jiangdong."

Seeing Liu Bei stunned by her stabbing, the corners of Zhou Yu's lips curled up - Li Mu never misses out when he calculates his accounts.

While talking and sitting at the table, the waiter handed a cup of mellow wine to Liu Bei, as if he saw a cup full of rice grains, which caused him to feel a burst of emotion in Jiangdong's young man who is in charge of his family, and he doesn't know how expensive rice is.

After receiving the wine cup, he stood up and raised his hand to greet Zhou Yu first: "In the battle of Huaiyin, Yun Chang was reckless and violated the prestige of your army. I will use this wine to make amends to Gong Jin."

Standing behind him, Guan Yu also cupped his fists at Zhou Yu.Thinking of the inexplicable fierce battle that night, he couldn't help but feel hot on his face.When Zhang Fei was not allowed to lead the army, he also said that Zhou Yu would remember the past, but he did not expect that he rashly raided the camp and fought all night, and was finally chased by the tiger and leopard cavalry, so he still had to rely on Zhou Yu to send troops to help.Even though he was proud of his abilities, he still admired Zhou Yu's generosity.

It's just that Liu Bei still had ulterior motives in what he said.

At that time, Tai Shici was leading the army. Even if Tai Shici was not here at this time, he should apologize to Sun Shao for violating Jiangdong's military prestige?What's more, Li Mugang also said that Zhou Yu rescued Guan Yu from the tiger and leopard rider. Liu Bei mentioned the night attack again, and the camp was attacked first, but the troops were sent to rescue him later. .

"Having wine without pleasure is the way to entertain guests, why not let Meng and the soldiers perform martial arts for the main performance?" Lu Meng drank two jars of distilled wine, and there was little left in his body, escaped from his flying nature and returned to his old ways.He cast a sideways glance at Guan Yu, cast a provocative glance at this man who hadn't even touched a drop of wine but had a flushed face, and then cupped his hands at Sun Shao, pointing to him, "Strengthen my military might."

As soon as the words came out, the soldiers inside and outside immediately burst into applause.

The night attack in Huaiyin not only made Li Mu unhappy until now, but the soldiers in the army, whether they experienced the battle at the time or heard about it afterward, have been holding back a feeling of sulking.

Lv Meng fought steadily in Wancheng, he was patient and mostly on the defensive, he dreamed of wanting to let go and fight a hearty battle, but he heard such a story as soon as he came back, and he was even more angry.Now Liu Bei came to the door, with the strength of wine, all the bones in his body clamored for him to fight hard.At last he was slightly drunk, his mind was still clear, and he knew how to find an excuse to add to the fun.

As soon as Sun Shao heard that he was going to perform martial arts, his eyes lit up immediately, his lips were tightly pressed, and he cast a expectant glance at Li Mu, and then at Zhou Yu.He has seen many competitions in the army this year, but the more he watched, the more regretful he missed the competition between Zhou Yu and Tai Shici.Now one side is Guan Yu who has been undefeated against Zhou Yu in Huaiyin, and the other side is Lu Meng, who his father Sun Ce also praised as a young man, how can he not be excited?

Although Liu Bei came here as a guest, it seemed a little impolite to invite guests to perform martial arts, but he came at the wrong time. If Liu Bei didn't nod his head, no matter why he came today, he wouldn't even think about going out this door.

Li Mu and Zhou Yu looked at each other and frowned slightly.Guan Yu was revered as a martial sage in later generations. Whether Lu Meng could gain the upper hand in his hands, she was really not sure.

However, she was undecided, Zhao Yun came out from behind Liu Bei, and bowed to him: "Since it is martial arts, Yun is willing to give it a try."

The meaning of Lu Meng's words is clear, if Liu Bei backs down blindly, this trip will be a waste of time, without Jiangdong's boats to travel by water, it is almost impossible for him to go to Jingzhou without Cao Cao's eyes and ears.But if Guan Yu makes a move, not to mention his sworn brother's arrogance, he may have a little consideration for Zhou Yu because of his previous affairs, and encounter Lu Meng who makes trouble... there is a slight mistake, and Jiang Dong's face is swept away. The boat to be borrowed also went "wrong".

Therefore, when Zhao Yun walked out, Liu Bei also breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded almost immediately.Zhao Yun is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is also humble. He also owes Li Mu a life-saving favor, so he will not go too far.

With Liu Bei's permission, Zhao Yun saluted Sun Shao again.Sun Shao is short, and at a glance, he saw his empty waist: "You didn't bring a sword?"

"Bring my sword." Li Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled, and waved his hand behind him. His own soldiers held the Qingzhi sword in front of Zhao Yun, "If Zilong doesn't give up, can I try this sword?"

When she saw Zhao Yun coming with Liu Bei, she turned her head and ordered her own soldiers to fetch the Qingzhi Sword. Zhou Yu was standing up to meet Liu Bei at that time. She knew she was a step behind but she didn't pay attention. Sweeping at the simple long sword, he immediately recognized the green sword that Li Mu had asked Cao Cao for him, and he couldn't help frowning suddenly.
