Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

The chaos that Xu Shu said came faster than anyone expected.

Li Mu and Huang Yueying are immersed in the research on how to install the wheel blades under the boat in the boat workshop, using the creation of manpower tread wheels to overcome the shortcomings of the boat being controlled by the wind force and direction on the river, when Liu Biao in Jingzhou died suddenly, the two sons competed The news reached Jiang Xia.

There are countless warships and dozens of docks in Jiangxia's water fortress. Li Mu is actually not good at manufacturing fortifications, but when it comes to the calculation of the blueprint scale and the analysis of the resistance of the river, she will do her part.There are also capable people in Cao's army. I heard that in the first battle of Guandu, heavy trebuchets similar to Jiangdong's appeared in Cao's army. They were about two feet high and had a range of four hundred steps.

The news of Liu Biao's death did not attract their attention. On the contrary, when they heard the news that Liu Cong had killed his father in Xiangyang, Huang Yueying put down the stick in her hand and shook her head at Li Mu: "Impossible, Liu Cong is timid. It's not going to happen."

Liu Biao's step-wife Cai Shi and her mother were sisters from the same family, so Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao could be regarded as half-brother-in-law.Although she has no blood relationship with Liu Cong, this cousin in name has always been in contact with each other on weekdays.

Her aunt was tough and hot-tempered, and she guarded the two sons who were not born by her very closely, and Liu Biao was very tolerant to her because of Cai's relationship, so one of the two brothers was cowardly and the other timid. Speaking of patricide, if Cai raised his eyebrows for a moment, it would make them uneasy and trembling.

But no matter what, the news of Liu Cong's father's murder came out, and Jingxiang was in an uproar. Liu Bei supported Liu Qi as the leader, and raised troops in Jiangling to confront the army led by Cai Mao in Jingzhou.

In the civil strife in Jingzhou, Cao Cao naturally would not miss the opportunity.After the defeat of Yuan in Qingzhou, it was too late to catch up with the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang who had fled north, so they hurriedly sent troops south to take Jingzhou.

In fact, Cao Cao's move was really helpless.

If Liu Biao can live for another two years, he will turn around and march south after he calms down the Yuan family.Whether it is the deployment of military forces, the supply of food and grass, or the rest of the national strength, he will be more calm when it comes to the stability of the people.Even at that time, he would be able to kill Liu Bei in Jingzhou without any hassle, so that he wouldn't have to manage people's hearts, play tricks on him several times, and then run around and hide, causing him some trouble from time to time.

But now the Jiangdong army is stationed in Jiangxia, if he doesn't go south immediately, the price he will pay when Jiangdong soldiers and horses take advantage of the chaos to capture Jingzhou and snatch Jingzhou from the Jiangdong Sun family will be much higher than the price he has to pay for temporarily letting the two Yuan brothers go , I will work hard to calm down in the future.

In fact, if history goes as planned, without Li Mu intervening, Liu Bei hastily defected to Liu Biao, with no follower, no base, and lack of food and soldiers. He will have to wait at least two more years before he has the strength to be under Liu Biao's nose. There are hints of ambition under the hood.The Jingzhou Rebellion was indeed exactly as Cao Cao wished, and he had to wait another two years.

If Cao Cao knew that the root cause of the Jingzhou rebellion was that Liu Bei’s borrowed troops and ships from Li Mu aroused Liu Biao’s fear, and thus began to restrain the power in the hands of the eldest son who was too close to Liu Bei, this would trigger Jingzhou in advance In the struggle for succession, I am afraid that this generation of hero who was appointed as the prime minister of Han because of the defeat of Yuan Shao will definitely jump his feet in anger.

Cao Jun came very fast, and Liu Cong did not have the courage to face Cao Jun as Huang Yueying said, and he didn't even have much thought about organizing an army to fight. The people in Xiangyang were panicked, and even some people who had come from the north to avoid the war People began to flee to Jiangxia.

While dispatching troops in Jiangling, Liu Bei sent envoys to Jiangxia to meet Li Mu and discuss the alliance of the two forces to fight against Cao Cao.

The inertia of history is always inevitable, and the envoy sent by Liu Bei is Zhuge Liang.

"I really don't know that Kong Ming has joined Liu Xuande..." Xu Shu saluted deeply, showing shame on his face.Not long ago he recommended Zhuge Liang to Li Mu, but now that Zhuge Liang came as Liu Bei's envoy, wouldn't it appear that he was insincere?In particular, he compares Zhuge Kongming to Zhang Liang who rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han family. The implication in this is extremely coincidental... embarrassing...

It was expected that Zhuge Liang followed Liu Bei. Li Mu waved his hand indifferently: "Sir, there is no need to think too much. Since Zhuge is here, I will treat him as a guest. It is not convenient for me to see him these days, so I have to ask him to wait a little longer." In two days, everything will be discussed after Ah Shao arrives."

Before Cao Cao went south, he sent a letter to Wujun and sent it directly to Sun Shao, inviting the Lord of Jiangdong to hunt on the banks of the Yangtze River.

Sun Shao is a child of seven or eight years old, how can he know how to hunt?It's just Cao Cao's usual method of alienating and probing.He invited him in the name of one of the princes, to avoid Li Mu and Zhou Yu, and to remind the world that although Sun Quan of Pingjiang Xia, who was also surnamed Sun, was not the lord of Jiangdong after all.He also reminded Li Mu that she gave power to Sun Shao in the past, but if her fame and martial arts are too strong today, she will definitely encounter a lot of troubles, which will become the biggest cause of Jiangdong's internal instability.

There is nothing wrong with Cao Cao's use of this method. To be honest, she brought a message to Jia Xu, and Zhou Yu saw Xun Yu.And what really annoyed her was that those civil servants in Wu Jun really sent Sun Shao here!

Let a child come to the battlefield, do they think they can't fight!

Li Mu's face was so gloomy that even Zhou Yu felt trembling at the sight.Since receiving the news that Sun Shao is coming, in the past few days, from Gan Ning to Lu Meng, almost everyone has come to invite her to run horses and hunt, and perform martial arts in the army. Zhang Zhao sent Sun Shao here at this time. Among them The meaning of defense was tantamount to slapping Li Mu directly on the face. Everyone knew that she was depressed and wanted to use this method to make her vent and relieve her. In the end, even Zhang Liao came, and Li Mu finally Went to the barracks with Zhou Yu.

Counting the time, Sun Shao's car will arrive in just two days, and Zhou Yu has already led the front to welcome him out. When Sun Shao sends a reply letter, Li Mu will also set off to welcome him out.It's really inappropriate to see Zhuge Liang at this time.

If Sun Shao doesn't come, she wants to join Liu Kangcao, and she will make her own decision outside. If Sun Shao comes, even if it is in name and form, her decision must be approved by Sun Shao.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu's face was also not good-looking.He admired Li Mu's act of accommodating righteousness, but he didn't expect that there were many factions in Jiangdong, and this was the end.Thinking back to these days, he has seen that the relationship between Li Mu and Zhou Yu is obviously not as rumored, and the reasons for this are naturally self-evident.

"It doesn't matter, it's fine if you come here. Take a look at the vast Yangtze River. The soldiers shed blood, so as not to grow up in the hands of those rat eyes. They just want to be at ease. Follow me in and out, and Gong Jin will always protect him." Seeing that Xu Shu hesitated to speak, Li Mu guessed what he wanted to say, and sighed softly.

She has been careless recently.

While in charge of the military, and with Zhou Yu, they are of one heart and one mind. Not only did there not appear to be any discord, but there was also news that Zhou Gongjin was the one who saved him when he was assassinated. It is inevitable that those Jiangdong factions thought they turned hostility into friendship. If she and Zhou Yu These two forces are twisted together, and in today's Jiangdong, they are already overwhelming forces, so it is no wonder that some people are anxious.

Cao Cao was invited by the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Sun Shao was the lord of Jiangdong, so it is really unreasonable to hide in Wujun and not come out.It is precisely because of this high-sounding reason that even Mrs. Wu is powerless to stop it.

"In the past few days, the number of refugees fleeing east along the river has increased, and Cao Jun and Liu Bei's secret operations must have been mixed in among them. General Wen Yuan must be more concerned."

Liu Cong wanted to surrender, and even transferred Wenpin, who guarded Jingling, and the people who escaped from Jingxiang crossed the river from Jingling and fled eastward one after another.At this time, it was raining continuously in winter, the roads were muddy, and there were occasional storms on the river. For several days in a row, boats crossing the river privately were overturned by the waves, and all the people on board were buried in the Yangtze River.

When Zhou Yu received the news from Sun Shao, Li Mu left Xu Shu to work in Xiling, took Gao Shun and five thousand soldiers and horses, and went to meet him in the direction of Xunyang.

It was still summer when Li Mu sent troops, and now it was midwinter, and Sun Shao had grown a lot in the past half a year. Sitting in front of Zhou Yu's horse, seeing Li Mu from a distance, he waved his hands and shouted indistinctly.

Li Mu rode his horse fifty paces away, ordered the whole army to stand still, and got off their horses.When she walked to Zhou Yu's horse, Zhou Yu also got off the horse with Sun Shao in his arms.

"Second uncle..."

Sun Shaoqing continued to say "Second Uncle" crisply, and was about to rush towards Li Mu, but Li Mu bowed to the bottom seriously, and made a pre-military salute: "I have seen the Lord."

The little boy was stunned for a moment, and the look of joy on his face froze.Li Mu had never shown him such formal etiquette. Even when he returned to Wu Commandery for the first time, he was trembling with Zhang Zhao's important officials following him. Shao".

But this time, Li Mu just bowed and called him "Master".

Before leaving, Mrs. Wu called him into her room, and when she talked about this trip to Jiangxia, Li Mu might be angry when she saw him, but he didn't understand at that time.

After all, he was too young to understand the complexity of Jiangdong's personnel affairs.He only vaguely knew that Zhang Zhao didn't like Li Mu as much as he did, and he didn't like Zhou Yu who was as mighty and skilled as his father, but at the same time Li Mu and Zhou Yu repeatedly told him that Zhang Zhao was a talented man, and Zhang Zhao He never denied the achievements of Li Mu and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong.

So he understood that Zhang Zhao asked him to come to Xiling to "hunt" with Cao Cao this time, because he couldn't fall into the prestige of the Jiangdong Sun family, but he didn't know it at all, and it was impossible to understand the meaning behind his move.

However, the child's heart is always the most sensitive, and Sun Shao really felt at this moment——Li Mu was really angry!
