Chapter 204 The situation in Jiangdong!
Next to the county government residence in Nanchang, there is a beautiful house. In the past, it was the residence of the former Nanchang Mansion, but since the Grand Governor arrived, it has become the temporary residence of the Grand Governor.
At the entrance of the house, there were two people standing, one of whom was more than seven feet tall and covered in armor. They looked murderous. Although the other person was not wearing armor, the calluses on his hands and his strong body told you that he was definitely not an easy person.
It is Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng!
Xu Sheng, whose courtesy name was Wenxiang, was from Ju County, Langya (now Ju County, Shandong) and was a famous general of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period.
Xu Sheng made his fortune because of his own abilities and Sun Quan's appreciation. Therefore, it can be said that Xu Sheng was sent by Sun Quan to monitor Zhou Yu. The reason why he said "surveillance" is naturally a reason.
Sun Quan succeeded to the throne at a young age and had no power in the army. Although Sun Ce bluntly stated that he wanted Sun Quan to be the leader of Jiangdong, some people were talking about it, and some people wanted others to replace him. This person was either someone else, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin!
Zhou Yu was Sun Ce's close friend and had a great reputation in the army. Although he worked hard to protect Sun Quan at that time, his achievements have not been too good since ancient times. Although Sun Quan had no reason to kill Zhou Yu, he also served Zhou Yu as his brother, but Zhou Yu was indeed a grudge in his heart for him.
So he sent a Xu Sheng to monitor him, and also hit Zhou Yu, telling him not to be too arrogant.
But Cheng Pu is different!
Cheng Pu, whose courtesy name was Demou, was from Tuyin, Youbeiping (now Fengrundong, Hebei). He was a famous general at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
He served in the three generations of Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Quan. He followed Sun Jian to attack the Yellow Turbans, Dong Zhuo, killed Hua Xiong, defeated Lu Bu, and helped Sun Ce to pacify Jiangdong. After Sun Ce's death, he and Zhang Zhao and others assisted Sun Quan together, and attacked the bandits in Jiangdong, with outstanding achievements.
Cheng Pu is a loyal minister, but whether he is loyal to Zhou Yu or Sun Quan is not something that ordinary people can see clearly.
"Everyone, the Grand Governor is invited!"
Cheng Pu was the oldest among the generals of the Eastern Wu and was respected as "Cheng Gong". Therefore, Xu Sheng bowed to Cheng Pu and signaled him to go first.
Cheng Pu bowed to Xu Sheng to express his gratitude, but his feet stepped out.
Zhou Yu's courtyard is not big, but it is like Suzhou gardens. It is particularly exquisite. Although it is not big, it looks extremely huge.
When he entered the yard, Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng immediately saw Zhou Yu kneeling in the yard and pouring wine!
Zhou Yu was wearing a brocade robe, with bright eyes and a slightly high forehead, and he looked like he was out of the world.
After Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng saw Zhou Yu, he hurriedly bowed to him.
"The last general Cheng Pu (Xu Sheng), pays homage to the Grand Commander!"
Zhou Yu waved his hand to them, smiled on his face, "General of the Central Army, prefect, take your seat quickly!"
"promise!"
Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng looked at each other and then knelt across from Zhou Yu.
"Do you have front-line military affairs?"
Cheng Pu glanced at Xu Sheng and said, "It's true that it's Bailiqiu!"
"Hundred miles of speed?" Zhou Yu said, with a look of surprise on his face and his eyes looked at Cheng Pu.
"Is the Baili rush mentioned by Mr. Cheng related to Cao Cao?"
"The governor is smart and wise, and it is indeed related to Cao Cao. According to the letter from Huang Gai, Zhang Liao is already stationed in Xiakou, and..."
Zhou Yu paused his hands while pouring wine and said, "And what?"
Cheng Pu glanced at Zhou Yu before he said that.
"And Jiangling is lost!"
Jiangling is lost!
Zhou Yu lost his color, but this color was lost for just a moment. After a moment, Zhou Yu returned to the appearance of Wubo of the ancient well.
"Jiangling City is high and thick. Could it be that Cao's army is a heavenly soldier? Can they go to Jiangling one day?"
Cheng Pu hesitated for a moment and said, "Listen to Huang Gai's letters, it seems that Cao Cao used magic tricks!"
witchcraft?
Zhou Yu immediately laughed.
"Hahahaha, when did Mr. Cheng believe in these things? "
Cheng Pu smiled bitterly and said, "It's because I don't believe in these things. I really can't find any other reason. Liu Xuande is not a fool. If Cao's army can go to Jiangling within one day, he can beat Liu Bei in a few days. Huang Gai came to write a letter. I guess he has this concern, right?"
Zhou Yu nodded without comment, and finally cooked the wine in the wine pot.
Gugugugu~
Zhou Yu poured out three cups and placed them in front of Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng.
"This is the monkey wine paid by the Shanyue people. How about it?"
Monkey wine?
Cheng Pu Xusheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked up the hot wine in his hand, regardless of whether it was still steaming, and poured it into his mouth in one sip.
Zhou Yu looked at Cheng Pu and Xu Sheng with a lively expression and asked, "How is it smelling?"
Cheng Pu shook his head, the white beard on his jaw was stained with some wine stains, and his old face turned red.
"Grandmaster, this wine is really powerful!"
Really powerful?
Could it be not big?
The wine brewed by Baiguo has been so long.
Zhou Yu shook his head, picked up the rice wine in front of him, and drank some of it in small mouthfuls.
"Emperor Huang also sent a message to his lord?"
When Xu Sheng heard the word "Master" and his hand was obviously paused, Cheng Pu said: "Of course, Chaisang is closer to Xiakou. I'm afraid the lord has already received Huang Gai's letter!"
Zhou Yu nodded, but his eyes flashed.
When Xu Sheng saw Zhou Yu in this look, he asked quickly: "Then, what should the governor do about this matter?"
Zhou Yu glanced at Xu Sheng with a squinted look, which made Xu Sheng feel a hundred uncomfortable.
"What do you think the Central Army General?"
Xu Sheng was stunned and said, "The last general, the warrior, how can you have any opinions?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and drank the monkey wine on the table and couch in one sip.
"The General of the Central Army is modest..."
A cold sweat broke out from Xu Sheng's head and had to fight off the court haha.
"Governor, should we reply with Huang Gai?"
Zhou Yu smiled, shook his head, and said, "We are far away in Nanchang, and the lord is in Chaisang. This matter will naturally be decided by the lord!"
Cheng Pu nodded, shook his head again, and said, "But the lord has never experienced war after all, this..."
Zhou Yu waved his hand, but his tone became impatient.
"The lord has many soldiers and generals under his tent, so there will be some arrangements. So can the Shanyue people make proper arrangements?"
Cheng Pu nodded and said, "It's already done. We have basically eliminated all men from Shanyue. Women and children cannot live except relying on Han men. In less than ten years, there will be no such thing as Shanyue people!"
Zhou Yu nodded and remained silent for a moment, but although he was silent, his eyes were shining brightly.
Lord, lord, you have grown up, but how do you break this chaos?
Zhou Yu shook his head and filled his wine glass with wine again.
"What if you don't eat in the mansion today?"
