Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2640 Bearing weight in life

  On the boat, Zhou Yu moved his eyes.

  He saw the river in the distance, and Wu County nearby.

   There are also those soldiers and people who are waving their arms above and below the city.

  He also saw on the city wall, the young man in rough linen, raising his head and meeting his gaze.

  He even saw some guys trying to curl up and hide behind others, like those guys trying to curl up in the shadows, and seemed to smell the smell of those rotten guys.

  Then he knew that this rotten smell may not come from any guy...

  Countless eyes gathered on him.

  Zhou Yu raised his hand and smiled, as if saying hello.

  『Jiangdong, don’t come here without any problems...』

  Get off the building boat, Zhou Yu sits on horseback under the guard of iron armor, and slowly enters the city.

  The people and soldiers who lined the road to welcome were like the river in the distance, coming from the horizon and then connecting to the horizon.

Those people who had endured a night of panic came out from their respective hiding places, carrying some fear after the disaster and a little bit of hope. Wherever you go, you can’t forget the guy who eats, the pole bearer, and the woman who holds the child with disheveled hair and looks at him with a smirk...

  Their shriveled, yellow faces, and their cloudy eyes were full of awe and fear, as well as a hint of expectation and hope.

  Sunlight fell on Zhou Yu's body and reflected on his blood-red cloak. His whole body seemed to be in a flame, burning bright red.

  Some elderly Jiangdong elders with dim eyesight narrowed their eyes.

Through the scene in front of them, the old people seem to see that many years ago, when they were not so old, they also saw Zhou Yu who was burning so fiercely, and the young, handsome man beside Zhou Yu , another young man in high spirits showed a confident and fearless smile to the people at that time, as if he was about to embrace a bright future.

  The sunshine at that time seemed to be as red as it is today.

  In the corners where the sun couldn't shine, some people shrank their faces and bodies under the shadows, looked at Zhou Yu, and sneered.

  『He really can lie...』

  『Exactly, what kind of integrity can there be in this way? 』

  『Playing with our emotions, cheating our emotions. 』

  『That’s right, insulting our IQ…』

  『…』

  They hid in the corner of the wall like mice, rustling, with the shrewdness brought out from the womb in their eyes.

  『Don’t care what he says this time, you can’t believe it! 』

  『Yes, I can’t even believe it! 』

  They were resentful, hiding in the shadows and spitting poisonous foam. In fact, whether their hearts were full of envy and jealousy, only they knew, anyway, they would never reveal a little bit. They claim to be businessmen, rational people, and the most orderly and orderly, but in fact, any one of them knows in their hearts that the reason why they are orderly and orderly is because they are sticking to the rules. Crawling according to the rules, looking for loopholes in the rules all the time, looking for the sewer pipes and dark gutters under the ground.

From the beginning to the end, they held up the signs of freedom in their hands, and they talked about the importance of the law, but those high-pitched tones and fanatical expressions did not affect their hearts, so when they saw people walking on the ground, they were always full of joy. They developed low self-esteem, and then evolved from low self-esteem to arrogance. They called themselves "human beings", and turned finding loopholes in the rules into their abilities and tools to make money. out of humanity.

  『Captain, please stay safe…』

  Sun Quan met Zhou Yu.

  Sun Quan noticed that many people were watching this place eagerly, including his personal guards, ordinary soldiers, and servants who served him. The eagerness in these people's eyes was not for Sun Quan, but for Zhou Yu.

  『Gong Jin, such a plan is a bit risky? ”Sun Quan greeted Zhou Yu and sat in the hall, and after driving away the surrounding soldiers and servants, he said in a low voice, “Has the governor thought that if we fail, the consequences may be disastrous...”

  Although it is said that the Jiangdong gentry are basically watching the show this time, if they end up, there must be more people than Sun Hao...

  After all, there is Zhu Zhi, a wall-rider around Wu County. If he also completely fell to the Jiangdong nobles, or to Sun Hao, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

   After all, Zhou Yu was "dead" before.

   What if Zhu Zhi believes it and has some thoughts that he shouldn't have, such as thinking that he can be called the boss around Wu County?

  Then Cao Cao in the north received the news and moved his troops south...

  Sun Quan was a little scared at this moment.

During the process, Sun Quan didn't have time to think about so many what-ifs, but now that he was calm, thinking about it, he felt his scalp was a little numb, and he couldn't imagine what if something went wrong during the planning process, and then The chain collapsed, the consequences of total failure.

   Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan.

  『Gongjin already made arrangements? 』Sun Quan thought he understood the other party's eyes.

  Thinking about it, it is Zhou Yu after all. Under such circumstances, there must be something to rely on to dare to do so.

   Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan again.

  That is a little bit of looking at his own bear child, or caring for the mentally handicapped.

  『If it fails, everyone will die together. "Zhou Yu said flatly, "Since they are all dead, who cares about the consequences, can you imagine it? 』

  Sun Quan was stunned.

  Zhou Yu raised his head, as if he saw himself following a figure...

  『Bo Fu, you have to think about the consequences...』

  『Brother Bofu! You have to lead these people, you can’t speak too bluntly all day long, you need to appear mysterious... Righteousness, loyalty, these words sound empty, but they are actually very important...』

  『Bo Fuyi must convince those who do not follow you, so that they can also feel the power from your words, so that they will be afraid, and then these talents will not make trouble...』

  『Brother Bofu, you must make everyone believe in you, including your enemies...』

  『Bofu…』

  『Oh, Gong Jin, stop nagging, if you fail, you will die, and you will die by then, so how can you think so much? Ah ha ha ha ha...Let's go, let's go hunting...」

  『Bo Fu, don’t come here without any problems…』

  Zhou Yu whispered slightly, laughed, and then coughed a few times, and then the cough became more and more serious, and finally spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff, feeling that the world was dark, shaking and crooked, and fell down.

  『Captain! Brother Gongjin! ”Sun Quan yelled, rushed forward, picked up Zhou Yu, and said, “Doctor! Send the doctor! 』

   Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Sun Quan's arm, "Seal, block the news..."

  …_(3」∠)_…

  Sun Quan gave up his backyard to let Zhou Yu rest.

  All those who are on duty in the surrounding areas, or who come and go to serve, are the core people of Sun Quan.

   Sitting on the side of Zhou Yu's bed, Sun Quan frowned, looking sideways at the treetops in the courtyard that were swaying by the wind.

  Zhou Yu took some decoction and seemed to feel better.

   just seems...

  The doctor kowtowed and pleaded guilty, his scalp was broken. He said that he could only suspend it at most, but could not cure it, and even if it was suspended, it would not last long...

This made Sun Quan very surprised, very angry, and at the same time a little scared. Complicated emotions mixed together, knocked and washed away, making the shell of his personal defense and prejudice against Zhou Yu in his heart finally burst open, and then Being hit, falling down...

  Sun Quan realized that this person was so important.

  Sun Quan has never seen such a weak side of Zhou Yu.

   Zhou Yu's hair has turned gray.

   Zhou Yu's body is actually very thin and thin. His thin body seems to be so light that it will be blown away by the wind.

  The doctor who treated Zhou Yu was raised by the family of the Sun family. He trembled and said that Zhou Yu's vitality was almost exhausted, and he might enter eternal sleep at any time...

  Sun Quan was very angry, almost arrogant, and cruelly ordered the doctor to save Zhou Yu at all costs, or let the doctor be buried with him!

  Sun Quan knew that such an order was unreasonable. He knows that some diseases are terminally ill, and it is difficult to cure them.

  Before, Sun Quan liked to reason. He felt that there should be some reason for everything. It's like he is the lord of Jiangdong, shouldn't he be supported by everyone in principle? He wants to march into the Northern Expedition, welcome the emperor, and punish the rebels. In principle, shouldn't everyone be happy to accept it?

  Some things, some things, some characters, many people don't know how to cherish them when they originally owned them. When you have a lover, you don't cherish love, and when you have health, you don't cherish your body.

  At this moment, Sun Quan finally understood what Zhou Yu represented to him...

  He is the only one, the most valuable, and the one who can most relieve the current difficulties. He is the core of Jiangdong and a role model for soldiers.

  He is irreplaceable.

   No one can compare.

"Brother Gongjin..." Sun Quan murmured in a low voice, "Brother Gongjin, you have done enough... You don't have to gamble your life for such a thing... Even if you can catch ten or hundreds of bandit chieftains, you can't do it again." How can you compare to Brother Gongjin...』

  Sun Quan is suspicious.

In other words, those in power basically have to have a suspicious attribute, otherwise they will definitely be sold out, but on this day, at this moment, Sun Quan suddenly hated his own suspicion, and he put his doubts on Zhou Yu , This is simply a humiliation to Zhou Yu, and it is also a stupidity to Sun Quan himself.

  Before, Sun Quan felt that catching one Sun Hao and solving the hidden danger was not bad, but now he felt that it was not worth it at all. In his opinion, even a hundred Sun Hao could not compare with one Zhou Yu.

  『Brother Gongjin, you don’t have to do this…』 Sun Quan lowered his head and sighed, 『You have already sacrificed enough for Jiangdong. It’s better to leave this kind of matter to others...I’m sorry for you...」

  『Ahem…』Zhou Yu seemed to wake up a bit, and coughed twice, 「No, cough, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s just good and bad...」

   Zhou Yu saw guilt in Sun Quan's eyes that he rarely saw before.

   But Sun Quan only saw Zhou Yu's calm, like a calm sea with waves hidden, all emotions were covered under the water. Even the weakness and illness didn't seem to make any waves.

"Guard this Jiangdong, guard this foundation left by your brother..." Zhou Yu said calmly, as if he was calmly treating his own life to be coming to an end, "After I die, the situation in Jiangdong will be out of balance again, you What are you going to do? How are you going to protect everything in front of you? 』

   Zhou Yu's voice was very soft, like the mottled shadows falling from the tree shadows under the sunlight, with a shape but no sound.

  Zhou Yu remembered his promise before Sun Ce fell ill, "Brother Bofu, I will protect everything for you. 』At that time, he chose Sun Quan and stabilized Jiangdong.

   Now, this question reappeared, but the person who answered it became Sun Quan.

  『Brother Gongjin! ”Sun Quan sat on the side of the bed, his eyes were full of sadness, “Brother Gongjin, you should cultivate well, the doctor said, it can be cured…”

   Zhou Yu stretched out his hand and pressed it on Sun Quan's arm, "You haven't called me brother for a long time..."

  Sun Quan, who was wandering behind Sun Ce's butt, had a pure smile, like a piece of pure white cotton and linen. At that time, Sun Quan just said "Brother Gongjin" one by one, asking why this and why, and even had a better relationship with Zhou Yu than with Sun Ce. Because Sun Ce would beat him up if he was upset, but Zhou Yu wouldn't.

  Sun Quan was taken aback for a moment, his eyes turned hot, and he lowered his head, "Brother Gongjin..."

  Sun Quan didn't know when he began to doubt Zhou Yu, whether Zhou Yu's various actions had any other meanings, just like last night, Sun Quan was still doubting...

  This kind of doubt is like mold.

  At the beginning, there was only a little bit, and then it became a piece. Even if it is washed repeatedly, it will leave a deep imprint.

  Until now, Sun Quan realized that Zhou Yu was still the original Zhou Yu, and he never had the slightest hesitation or confusion.

"You didn't like me taking care of you before... Now it's fine, you have to start taking care of yourself..." Zhou Yu comforted Sun Quan, "I can't walk this road anymore, and you have to go on your own next time." ...Come on, I still have something to say...Don't you think that Jiangdong will be peaceful from now on...』

  『…』 Sun Quan was taken aback for a moment, then sat up straight, “Yes, brother Gongjin, please give me advice…”

"I'm afraid you have known for a long time that I have a group of people who hide in the market and do some spying..." Zhou Yu nodded, "Don't deny it... Otherwise, what is your school official doing... I formed this I didn’t intend to hide the hidden thorns from you...I will transfer this manpower to you, but it’s best to let Zijing take care of it...』

  After Sun Ce was assassinated, Zhou Yu noticed Jiangdong’s inadequacy in intelligence spying and anti-spies and assassins, so he began to form manpower in this area, and at the same time infiltrated, bought, and even assassinated the northern princes.

  Sun Ce died in an assassination, is it possible that Zhou Yu still has to abide by any rules?

  『I sent the hidden thorns into Guanzhong to investigate the situation...These information will be passed on to you later...』 Zhou Yu said slowly, 『Guanzhong is the enemy...Cao Mengde is not his opponent...』

  『Hussars? ’ Sun Quan replied, ‘Cao Mengde...Cao Mengde sits in the land of four prefectures, has the fertile land of Hebei and Henan, and has millions of people, but...he can’t defend himself against the hussars? 』

"right. The land of Cao Mengde’s four prefectures is actually the land of the Four Wars, plus Guanzhong...you will know after reading the information I found out... Huqi is a different kind..." Zhou Yu nodded lightly, "So, Liaise with Cao Kangfei... Make good friends with Cao Mengde, express surrender to the emperor, Cao Mengde will most likely push the boat along with the current, and will not send troops to the south... You can take this opportunity to develop in Jiangdong, don't stare at the north, but look for opportunities to attack Sichuan Shu...the hussars have a very large territory, but the core is Guanzhong, and the other is Sichuan and Shu...After taking Sichuan and Shu, Jiangdong will be qualified to compete for the world...』

  『Allied with Cao to fight against Fei, to conquer Sichuan and Shu...』 Sun Quan repeated.

"For the inside of Jiangdong... Give up the fight with Jiangdong clans here in Wujun, and use this as a condition to let them support you to move the capital to Moling. These Jiangdong clans will definitely be willing to cooperate..." Zhou Yu continued, "Moling is nearby, and there are no big families to hinder you. ...Opening wasteland, mines, workshops, and workshops are all in your hands, so that you can compete with the common people... There are also talents, remember, if I am not here, you have to get along with Mr. Zhang and respect the veterans. It is your capital to compete with Jiangdong's surname... Promote more poor families, let the poor families go to practice and study under Zhang Gong and veterans, so that you can have someone available...』

"You have to remember, "Horses and horses, don't look at chickens and pigs. The family of cutting ice does not raise cattle and sheep. The family of hundreds of vehicles does not raise ministers who accumulate. Rather than having ministers who collect, there are ministers who steal. Don't take profit as profit, but take righteousness as profit"... cough cough..."

  Zhou Yu may have talked a lot, but then he coughed again. Sun Quan was so frightened that he kept screaming and sent someone to send the doctor.

   Fortunately, Zhou Yu didn't vomit blood this time, but he coughed for a while and then calmed down a little.

"It's okay, I should last a year or so..." Zhou Yu patted Sun Quan's arm, comforting Sun Quan, "You can ask me if you don't understand something... The responsibility of the Lord of Jiangdong is not light. ...'

"According to the logic, I should have talked to you more before..." Zhou Yu said with a smile, the voice was still soft, "But at that time, I always felt that I still had time, and you also needed time to grow, so...not now After some time, I realized that we haven't had such a good talk for a long time... It's okay, it's okay...』

  Sun Quan held Zhou Yu's hand tightly, tears fell down, "Brother Gongjin, it's my fault, it's all my fault..."

  If I were earlier, earlier, earlier...

  If I can notice that Zhou Yu has more gray hair on his head...

  If I can notice that Zhou Yu's body has become thinner...

if…

  But there are all kinds of things in the world, except that there is no "if".
