Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Feeling that Zhou Yu's aura was gradually dissipating, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, watching Zhang Fei stand up and bow his hands to Sun Shao and Li Musu, as if nothing had happened.

Where would Liu Bei dare to mention who would inherit the six counties? He was only afraid that if he said one more word, if he stayed for a moment, Zhou Yu would change his mind. , hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Zhou Yu sent him out of the camp gate in a very graceful manner. Outside the gate, Liu Bei's personal soldiers saw him coming out, and someone brought him a horse for him.However, before Liu Bei got on his horse, he heard Zhou Yu suddenly ask again: "Your Majesty wants to attack Yuan Shu, but where do you want to send your troops?"

To join forces with Sun Ce is not all polite words. Although Liu Bei went south this time, although he was playing the banner of conquering Yuan Shu, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to escape from Cao Cao's control.

Cao Cao asked him to be named General Zuo, and allowed him to be a shepherd in Yuzhou, but in fact, apart from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he had only more than [-] personal guards.In troubled times, a general without soldiers is like a fish out of water.Coupled with Cao Cao's growing power in the court, the emperor was weak and wanted to show his favor to him, the emperor's uncle, in order to counter Cao Cao.And he has no soldiers in his hands, and he can't protect himself by relying on a piece of imperial edict alone. How can he be an enemy of Cao Cao?If he doesn't avoid it far away, once Cao Cao learns about his private view of the emperor, his life may be in danger.

That's why, on the grounds of crusade against Yuan Shu, he asked soldiers to get away and get Xuchang.

The most urgent task is not to fight Yuan Shu, but to find a place to stay, recruit troops, expand their strength, stockpile food and grass, and strengthen their momentum.

Therefore, Zhou Yu's question was obviously about Fa Yuan Shu, but in fact, he was looking through his intention and asked him which place he liked.

Liu Bei has always been watertight in front of others, so how could he speak out in front of his face at this time, he just sighed bitterly.Just about to say that the future is difficult and the war is difficult, Zhou Yu stretched out his hand, stopped, and signaled that he would send it here.

It seems that he just asked casually, it doesn't matter whether Liu Bei answers or not.As for where he chooses to settle down, he doesn't even care.

Liu Bei couldn't help being surprised.He had a plan in mind, he had sent Sun Qian to contact Huang Zu, and now he came to Xunyang again, one of the intentions was to find out if Zhou Yu would use Sun Ce's death as an excuse to attack Jiangxia in the near future .

As long as the two families are unable to fight for the time being, Yuan Shu will always be on guard against movements on this side. In contrast, he will naturally relax his attention on the north side.

At this time, there was a gap between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, so he had no time to care about others. He would rather offend Liu Biao temporarily and exchange the position of Jiangxia prefect with Sun Ce for the land of Xuzhou than rashly send troops to conquer.Xuzhou is rich and prosperous, with abundant food and soldiers.If he doesn't take back Xuzhou at this time, when will he wait!

"Please come from a long way, and Yu has a gift that I want to give to the envoy." Zhou Yu waved his hand to the soldiers beside him, "Go, invite the guests from the side courtyard, and tell the envoy that Liu is leaving."

The soldier bowed to them, turned around and ran back quickly.

Liu Bei never imagined that the Sun Gan he sent to Jichun would be in Xunyang City!Seeing Sun Qian dashing forward with his hair crooked, his expression froze.

Sun Qian was in Xunyang City, so he couldn't hide from Zhou Yu about his envoy to Jichun.In this way, Zhou Yu probably guessed that he was going to Xuzhou!

Then his actions just now, all kinds of temptations, wouldn't it just make people laugh?

However, there was no trace of sarcasm in Zhou Yu's expression. Seeing Sun Qian, he bowed to him again and again: "Yu visited Jichun a few days ago and disturbed Mr. Sun. I hope you will forgive me."

Liu Bei was right in thinking this time, if he hadn't met Sun Qian in Jichun by accident, he wouldn't have thought so quickly that Liu Bei still hadn't given up on Xuzhou.

However, just as Liu Bei hurried forward to hold Sun Qian's hand and asked "Mr. is all right", he only heard Sun Shao yelling anxiously in the military tent behind him: "Second Uncle".Zhou Yu's face changed, he didn't care about confronting Liu Bei anymore, he didn't even have time to say a word, when Liu Bei subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction of the military tent when he heard the cry, Zhou Yu turned around and rushed back.

Li Mu originally wanted to go out with him. Last time when Zhou Yu told her that Cao Cao had played Sun Ce as the power behind Wujun and Jiangxia's prefect, he also briefly told her about the ranks. , as Sun Quan, it seems inappropriate if she doesn't go out and give it away.

It's just that the accident just now made her mind tense to the extreme, like a roller coaster ride with shocks and twists and turns. When she was overly nervous, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and her legs couldn't help but feel a little weak.As soon as he got up, his feet fluttered. However, the mourning hall was set up in the tent and there was nowhere to support him. Dizzy, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and pressed it on Sun Shao's shoulder.

After being dizzy for a moment, his eyes became clear, but he knew in his heart that she was running after her at this moment, fearing that she would add to the confusion.So he simply squatted down again, took Sun Shao by his arm, and comforted him in a soft voice: "Ah Shao is not afraid, Second Uncle is here to accompany you."

Sun Shao held Li Mu's hand tightly, his body was still trembling, he looked at her with fear and expectation in his red eyes, and nodded heavily.

When Zhou Yu rushed back like the wind, he happened to see this scene.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Li Mu suddenly swayed and fell backwards.

***

He didn't know how long she slept, Li Mu only felt that she was dreaming constantly.In her dream, she was running all the time, sometimes the fire was shining into the sky, and the ocean was flooding with water for a while, the scene in front of her was constantly changing, all kinds of weird and bizarre creatures jumped out of the water and fire, like fish but not fish, icy and cold, and wet to her Jump on your body.Another familiar face passed her by, the father with an indifferent face, the mother who was full of expectations, Tai Shici who forced her to draw a bow and practice the sword, and the bold and brave Sun Ce, past and present, like two people. Two movies showing at the same time, switching back and forth right in front of her eyes.

When she finally woke up, it was as if she had just gone through a rapid march. She was so tired that she only raised her eyelids, and then wanted to turn her head to sleep again.

However, just as soon as he moved, Sun Shao's voice sounded in his ears: "Second Uncle?"

The eyes that were about to be closed opened again, but the first thing they saw was Zhou Yu's reddish corners and the worry that hadn't dissipated between his brows.

"Gong Jin?" Li Mu raised his head, looked at Zhou Yu, then at Sun Shao, and then looked around, his mind gradually became clear.

The wooden screen with carved cranes, and the small table by the window are full of bamboo slips. It is in her room in Xunyang County Mansion.However, why are these two people here? Shouldn't they be guarding the spirit in front of Sun Ce's spirit?

Zhou Yu poured a cup of water, dragged Sun Shao away from the bed with one hand, and helped Li Mu to sit up slowly.Before she could ask, he seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and explained softly: "To send off the spirit today, Ah Shao will leave for Wu Jun right away."

"The battle of Jiangxia is already like an arrow on the string. If we withdraw our troops at this time, Huang Zu will pursue from behind, and Yuan Shu will intercept us in the front, we will be in a dilemma. Therefore...we will return to Wu County after we have wiped out Jiangxia."

With the help of his hands, Li Mu sat up and took a sip of water. The temperature of the water was rather hot, but not too hot. After swallowing it, his throat became slightly hot, his stomach warmed up, and the twitching feeling in his lower abdomen seemed to be relieved. down.However, hearing Zhou Yu's words, he frowned and raised his head: "Us?"

Zhou Yu nodded, showing a mournful smile: "Huang Zu and Bo Fu have a vengeance for killing their father, and now they want to destroy Jiang Xia, and Bo Fu is not here, so why don't you be the commander in chief of the army?"

Since she is Sun Quan, it is only natural for her to act as commander-in-chief on behalf of her brother and avenge her father.

Li Mu pondered for a moment, she understood what Zhou Yu meant.There are many former members of the Sun family in Wujun, including Lu Fan who escorted Sun Jian's family to the south for refuge, and Mrs. Sun.Sun Quan and Sun Ce are siblings of the same mother. If Cheng Pu can be fooled by Sun Shao's "Second Uncle", how can Mrs. Sun not recognize her son?

If it is possible not to return to Wu County, it is better not to return to Wu County.

In the silence, Sun Shao approached Zhou Yu, pouted his buttocks and leaned towards her couch, quietly grabbed her sleeves without saying a word, and stared at her wetly with red and swollen eyes.

Zhou Yu looked at the child who was sticking to Li Mu, frowned, hesitated for a moment, reached out to lift him up and pulled him away, and asked in a deep voice, "Who told you to call you Second Uncle?"

Sun Shao was dragged away involuntarily, he screamed "Ah", he was still clutching Li Mu's sleeve, his face showed a trace of fear, he shook his head vigorously, and pressed his lips tightly.

"A Shao?" After saying this, Li Mu also came to his senses.If it wasn't for the child's "Second Uncle" being just right, he might not be able to be kind in the military tent.

But when he called out his second uncle, he now confirmed her identity as Sun Quan, so what should he do after returning to Wu County?Mrs. Wu Tai, the mother of Sun Ce, is still alive. Is it possible that he should tell his grandmother that because of his young age, he has misunderstood his second uncle?

It is impossible for Mrs. Wu not to recognize her own son.

Zhou Yu's face became more and more gloomy.The timing of Sun Shao's "Second Uncle" was really good. A six-year-old child, no matter how smart he is, would not be able to understand what Li Mu's pretending to be Sun Quan would mean to him without Sun Ce.

In particular, they never hid from him the fact that Li Mu pretended to be Sun Quan, and they didn't even hide from him that Li Mu was originally a woman.

Li Mu is a woman, pretending to be Sun Quan, no matter how powerful she is, it is impossible to really threaten his status.And if it were Sun Quan, even if he was willing to support Sun Shao today, one would be a young man who will soon be crowned, and the other would be a six-year-old child. As long as Sun Quan, an adult hero with independent decision-making ability, does not refuse, the foundation of the six counties can be obtained at his fingertips.

He had that absurd, but also extremely real life and death, Fang took precautions against Sun Quan, what about Sun Shao?

If Sun Shao is the same... In this way, how can he still treat this six-year-old child as only six years old?

A cold light flashed across Zhou Yu's eyes, and he forcefully dragged away the child who insisted on hugging Li Mu's arm: "Ah Shao should go."

It was feeding water just now, but this time Sun Shao quit. He pursed his lips and held Li Mu tightly but refused to let go. When he blinked, tears fell down again.

Seeing that his lips were pale and his collar was loosened by Zhou Yu, Li Mu couldn't help frowning, turned sideways, hugged Sun Shao's shoulders, and raised his hand to pat Zhou Yu's.

However, a few red marks on the back of someone's hand had just scabbed, intertwined with the protruding blue veins. At first glance, it looked a bit hideous. Then he glanced at Zhou Yu.

She still has a debt to settle with Zhou Yu!

Zhou Yu's movements faltered, and the strength in his hands involuntarily loosened. Sun Shao took the opportunity to break free and hid in Li Mu's arms again.

Li Mu put his arms around Sun Shao and patted him lightly. He glared at Zhou Yu again, and said in a soft voice, "A Shao, do you know that you saved me by calling me Second Uncle this time, but it is possible The second uncle who killed you?"

These words were a bit convoluted for a six-year-old child, and Sun Shao didn't fully understand them, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he suddenly burst into tears.The whole person curled up, buried his head on Li Mu's shoulder, and his whole body began to tremble slightly, as if he had been greatly frightened.
