Chapter 119 Great Change
The next morning, Cai Mao and Kuai Liang hired Wen and explained the matters discussed before to Wen Pin.
"We know that we are very talented and have little virtue. We really don't dare to accept the position of governor. Although the lord left, we hope that Your Majesty can let the prince Liu Cong stay, continue to command Jingzhou, and defend the territory of the court." Kuai Liang looked at Wen Pin with a smile.
Wen Pin frowned slightly. This was different from what he had agreed before, but his task was to take back Liu Biao, and other matters were not in charge for the time being. Moreover, Liu Cong has always been kind to Cai Mao. Wen Pin was not very kind to Liu Cong, and shook his head and said, "This matter will not be decided at all, but you can repay this matter to Your Majesty. As for the result, Your Majesty will decide."
"This is natural." Kuai Liang smiled and said, "My lord has been managing Jingzhou for many years and has ordered Jingxiang to be in great power. Now that we have to return to the court to retire, we have prepared a fine gift for our Jingxiang family and hope that General Zhongye will bring him back to the court."
Wen Pin didn't say much and nodded. He immediately took the personal guards he brought to pick up Liu Biao who was still unconscious and Liu Pan, Liu Hu and Liu Xiu who were released from prison. After that, he was sent out of Xiangyang by Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others, and returned to Xinye by boat on the Han River.
"Uncle Emperor is this..." After arriving in Xinye, Huang Zhong was welcomed into Xinye by Huang Zhong who came to hear the news. When he saw Liu Biao unconscious, Huang Zhong couldn't help but frown.
"The General of Mo didn't know. He wanted to wake up his lord several times along the way, but he failed to do it." Wen Pin sighed and said, "In addition, Mr. Pan is back with Mo Jiang this time."
"Master." Behind Wenpin, Liu Pan stepped forward excitedly and bowed to Huang Zhong with fists. In his early years, Huang Zhong retired and returned home in his prime. At that time, Liu Pan was ordered to surrender the Changsha bandits to meet Huang Zhong. Because he respected Huang Zhong's martial arts, he treated him with courtesy. Later, Huang Zhong was summoned by the court and made great contributions. However, the letters of the two have not stopped. Now they meet again, and they are naturally overjoyed.
"It's good to come." Huang Zhong saw Liu Pan and Lao Huai was very relieved. In Huang Zhong's eyes, Liu Pan lost his son in middle age, was no different from his parents and children. Even if he had been separated for many years, he would not have separated at all when he saw him again. However, it was obviously not the time to reminisce about the past.
"Before leaving, Your Majesty asked Mr. Hua Tuo of the Imperial Hospital to accompany you. Please come and treat the emperor's uncle." Huang Zhong looked at Liu Biao and hurriedly ordered someone to go and invite Hua Tuo over.
After a while, Hua Tuo came in with a medicine box on his back, and everyone hurriedly made a place to ask Hua Tuo to treat Liu Biao.
"Sir, how is the emperor's condition?" After a long time, when Hua Tuo stood up, Huang Zhong and others hurriedly met him.
"It's okay, it's just that someone has given a rare drug. This drug is harmless to people, but it can make people sleepy and lose consciousness. This substance can be used as medicine. However, the emperor took some overdose, which seems to be consumed for a long time, which is a little harmful to the body. As long as this medicine is cut off, it will wake up soon. I prescribe some decoctions and will recover within a month." Hua Tuo shook his head. In fact, he didn't want to come here this time. Liu Xie gathered many famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital, and with the encouragement of Liu Xie, he communicated with each other and compiled medical books. Hua Tuo's Qingnang Sutra is about to be written. Liu Xie has promised that once it is completed, it will be published and spread throughout the world. This is very attractive to Hua Tuo. If Liu Xie had not come in person, he would not have come.
"I wonder when the emperor can wake up?" Huang Zhong asked.
"If the medicine dissipates, you will wake up." Hua Tuo looked at the sky and smiled, "General, don't worry too much. According to me, I will wake up in less than three hours."
Huang Zhong was relieved when he heard this. Fortunately, Cai Mao and others did not do too much. Otherwise, if Liu Biao had any problems, he would have sent troops to pacify Xiangyang.
"It's time for this, I'm going to set off and return to Luoyang." Hua Tuo was not in the mood to stay in the army for a long time. There was a military doctor in the army. Judging from Liu Biao's symptoms, as long as the doctor is almost the same, it is impossible to let him take action.
"I'll give it to you." Huang Zhong smiled quickly. Hua Tuo was a miracle doctor in the world, and now he is a worshiper in the Imperial Hospital. In addition to Liu Xie, no one dared to disrespect Hua Tuo from all three dukes and famous generals from all walks of life to peddlers and barracks. One is to respect his medical skills and the other is to respect his medical ethics. Even if he is now worshipped by the Imperial Hospital, Hua Tuo will take his disciples to the streets of Luoyang for three days every month, which is quite famous among the people. Even if Lu Bu is a little polite to Hua Tuo, after all, no one in the world may not get sick.
"Thank you." Hua Tuo did not refuse, but was sent out of the military camp by Huang Zhong. Before leaving, he sent an elite team to accompany him to escort him.
"Why don't you see the second young master?" After seeing Hua Tuo off, Huang Zhong called Lai Wenpin and asked.
"Return to General, Cai Mao and Kuai Liang do not accept the position of governor, so he will leave the second son and he will serve as governor of Jingzhou." Wen Pin shook his head and said.
"It's true that's not what the sir expected." Huang Zhong shook his head. When he went to Nanyang, Guo Jia had told him that the civil and military officials in Jingzhou would probably not be so willing to submit. Although he would return Liu Biao, he would definitely detain his subordinates to continue to be the governor of Jingzhou to stabilize the court.
"Then..." Wen Pin frowned and said, "What is the general going to do?"
"Don't move, wait!" Huang Zhong shook his head. Guo Jia said clearly at the beginning. If the Jingxiang family did it simply and returned everyone according to the court's requirements, then retreated to Nanyang. If these people were foolish, Huang Zhong would temporarily station in Xinye and wait for the court's next order.
"That lord..." Wen Pin hesitated.
"When the emperor wakes up, I'll send someone to Luoyang." Huang Zhong sighed, naturally knowing what Wenpin means. According to his original plan, he hoped that the court would send troops to help Liu Biao conquer Jingzhou again. However, Your Majesty obviously had no such intention. As for the final decision, as a general, Huang Zhong would not care about those things. No matter what the court decided, he would implement them without hesitation.
Wen Pin sighed lightly, and he knew in his heart that Jingzhou would not be back.
...
Jiangdong, Chaisang.
Zhou Yu was counting money and grain in the camp. Two days ago, Sun Ce had already led his army to gather here, quietly crossing the river, preparing to attack Jiangxia. Now, the civil storm in Jingzhou is in trouble, and I am afraid that I have no time to take care of Jiangxia. As long as Sun Ce can take down Jiangxia, it is equivalent to having a springboard to attack Jingxiang, and the forces of the four counties of Jiangdong can also gather together. At this time, the monarch and ministers in Jingzhou are in harmony, and there will inevitably be chaos in the dispatch. It is the best time to capture Jiangxia.
Yesterday, a war report was heard. Huang Zu was lured out of the city by Sun Ce and successfully ambushed in Zhu County. Jiangxia suffered heavy losses. It is expected that he would be able to conquer Jiangxia today. Zhou Yu must dispatch enough food and soldiers as soon as possible to deal with Jiangxia's counterattack.
"Governor." Lu Meng came in from outside the tent and intervened at Zhou Yu.
"It's Ziming, what's the matter?" Zhou Yu looked up and couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Meng. This person was a general he recruited when he was in Runan. If he counted, Lu Meng would not succeed in his literary style and martial arts. Sun Ce did not value this person very much, but Zhou Yu felt that this person was down-to-earth and willing to learn. Although he was not as good as a general in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu felt that as long as he was willing to polish it well, Lu Meng would be a talent in the future, so he took Lu Meng under the tent and temporarily served as his personal guard commander.
"When I go back to the governor, an old Taoist came outside the tent, with a young man, saying that the young man was the third young man." Lu Meng bowed and said.
"Oh, it's Shubi here, please come." Zhou Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. He wanted to know how far Sun Yi had grown up after learning from Zuo Ci's old Taoist for so many years. You know, when Sun Yi was young, he was full of strange power, but even Sun Ce could not suppress him. Now, after several years, Sun Yi should be eighteen now. Whether he can deal with Lu Bu in the court depends on this kid.
"Here!" Lu Meng nodded, turned around and left. After a while, he brought Zuo Ci and Sun Yi in.
Zhou Yu looked up and saw that the 18-year-old Sun Yi was quite handsome and looked seventy-seven minutes later, but there was a ignorant look between his eyebrows, which made Zhou Yu frown slightly. Why did he look like a child after so many years?
"Zhou Yu? Where is my elder brother?" Sun Yi was also very kind to see Zhou Yu. After all, he was a person around Sun Ce. Although he was simple, he felt very keen. Whoever treats him well or who treats him can feel it through his keen intuition.
"Shubi, you're finally here." Zhou Yu stood up, came straight to Sun Yi, smiled and hugged him and said, "Bo Fu has gone to Jiangxia, and he should be able to come back today."
"Where is Jiangxia?" Sun Yi said in confusion.
"Well... the enemy's city, your elder brother has gone to break the city." Zhou Yu explained with a smile, looking at Zuo Ci, and nodded slightly, "I haven't seen you for many years, and the fairy will still be in the same style."
"The governor is so serious." Zuo Ci shook his head: "The old Taoist has come out of the mountain this time, but he is also worried that my disciple, although he is extremely brave, has not yet opened his mind. It is inevitable that he is a barbaric attack. I want to follow the army for a while and hope the governor will be right."
"It is a blessing for our army to come." Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. He had seen the skills of this old Taoist. At this time, he heard Zuo Ci's intention and seemed to want to join Jiangdong. This was a great event for Zhou Yu. He ordered someone to organize his residence for Zuo Ci and said with a smile: "When Bo Fu comes back, he will be happy to know about this."
Zuo Ci smiled and nodded, and Zhou Yu didn't care. He just sent someone to Jiangxia quickly to see if Sun Ce had captured Jiangxia. If Jiangxia had already been captured, he would inform Sun Ce of this matter. There was an additional general in the army and a laity added. For Jiangdong, this was a great joy.
Zhou Yu ordered people to hold a banquet to entertain Zuo Ci, and at the same time asked Sun Yi what he had learned over the years. Until the evening, a defeated army suddenly came to the river. Judging from the flag, it was clearly the Jiangdong army. After Zhou Yu received the message, his face changed and he didn't care about saying too much, so he hurriedly took the people to check.
"Public retribution, where is the lord?" When Zhou Yu saw Huang Gai, he suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart. He stepped onto the boat and asked.
"Lord, he..." Huang Gai was ashamed when he heard this. A look of pain appeared on his bloody face, and he turned around and looked at the cabin.
"Bo Fu!?" When he saw Sun Ce who was dying in the Chuangcang and a sharp arrow was still inserted into his chest, Zhou Yu felt a buzzing sound in his brain and blank.
