Chapter 102 Jiangdong Zhou Lang
The flames were flying, Gao Chong leaned tightly on the fiery red war horse, listening to the sound of the passing wind, and there was a sense of pleasure and pleasure in the hazy way.
Where is Zhou Yu? It doesn’t matter?
What’s important is that Gao Chong has allowed the heroes in Jiangdong to see his generous magnanimity and thirsty for seeking talents.
From August of the first year of Jian'an to today three years later, Gao Chong and Zhou Yu were like two tigers who were eyeing each other and wanted to eat each other's opponent's flaws at any time. They were always watching their opponent's flaws. In the first battle against Fanyang, Gao Chong took over the remaining power of a hundred cavalry and almost captured Zhou Yu alive at the foot of Shiyin Mountain; in the second battle against Wancheng, Gao Chong crossed his horse and captured the snare in front of Baiya Mountain, and forced Sun Ce to retreat tens of thousands of elite soldiers while chatting and laughing. In the second battle against Shenting Pavilion, Zhou Yu, who was struggling to support him, was able to deal with Lu Xun calmly, but when Gao Chong appeared, Zhou Yu had no other way except to retreat quickly.
All these defeats cannot belittle Zhou Yu's ability at all. Due to the heavy obstacles in Sun Ce's army, Zhou Yu's plan, in addition to the surprise attack on Shiyin Mountain and gained full support from Sun Ce, had not had time to display his strange plan in his heart for the second time.
Compared with Gao Chong, who was born in a poor family and had become a slave and had nothing, Sun Ce benefited from the rich foundation left by his father Sun Jian. He and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Sun Jing, Sun He and other large numbers of loyal and brave men sacrificed their lives to follow him. But at the same time, there were inevitably some constraints. The young Zhou Yu was entrusted with important tasks with his friendship with Sun Ce. This was his luck and his misfortune.
Three years of hatred can't be done with just saying it.
The hatred is as deep as the sea. It is most appropriate to use these four words to describe Gao Chong’s instant feelings. However, in the three years of bloody conquest, Sun Ce and Gao Chong lost countless soldiers. In addition to Taishi Ci’s serious injury and almost died, young and promising generals such as Huang Yue and Huang Chu died early. On Sun Ce’s side, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lu Meng, and Zhou Tai also lost their lives one after another.
Although Sun Ce is Gao Chong's ultimate opponent, Zhou Yu is different from Lu Fan, Ling Cao and others. He is the planner who specifically planned Zulang's rebellion. Without his participation, the two thousand Danyang soldiers on the stone seal mountain would not be wiped out. Accepting Zhou Yu means that everyone will give up their belief in revenge. In a flash, Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Lei Xu, and Mei Qian, who have been following for a long time, may not be able to accept it for the time being.
Finally, it was Lu Su's words that completely dispelled Gao Chong's concerns.
"It is easy to get a commander, but it is difficult to get a general. If Zhou Yu is good at using it, he can reach tens of thousands of elite armor in Jiangdong!" On the night when Lu Su arrived in Wujun, facing the joyful Gao Chong, Lu Su spoke amazingly.
"It's enough for me to have Zijing help!" At that time, Gao Chong didn't care, but just responded with a laugh.
Lu Su had a righteous face and advised according to reason: "Su's ability is good at strategy and weaker than tactics. Yu's ability will be both talented and beautiful, and he will be handsome for a while. If he misses this person, there will be no hope of being a soldier in the Central Plains!"
Since Lu Su liked each other, Gao Chong really felt the ease of having a capable right-hand man. In the past, Gao Chong had to worry about the next strategy while he was in a battle. Now, Lu Su will do all this early. All Gao Chong needs to do is to decide the best strategy.
Lu Su convinced Gao Chong with just this simple sentence, and the soldiers pointed to the Central Plains. Yes, Jiangdong could no longer tolerate Gao Chong's turbulent ambition. The heroes of the Central Plains - Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, who could keep their names in history, would not only be the people from the north, but also the people from the south.
In the past, the overlord Xiang Yu broke his boat and defeated the powerful Qin, but now Gao Chong is the same!
"Those who know my heart are respectful!" Gao Chong laughed loudly. During this smile, his mind suddenly became clear. The thousands of complexes that were tangled in his heart, including gratitude and hatred, and the sword and blood, were finally untied.
All those who are talented in the world are used by me. The noble compassionate person who pitys talents is bound to win Zhou Yu.
"People handsome, Zhou Yu and Miss Xiao Qiao have arrived at Fengqiao!" Gao Chong rode his horse out of Xumen, and a scout ran and sweated heavily, reporting urgently.
Gao Chong slammed his horse's belly and galloped past the scout. Only his hearty laughter came from the wind: "Okay----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bright moon rises quietly by the Maple Bridge.
Under the moon, a boat is passing by.
In the sky, the legendary fairy Chang'e was dancing gracefully in her arms holding a white rabbit. Aside from her, the honest Wu Gang was holding an axe and cutting down the osmanthus tree.
Xiao Qiao, with bright eyes and charming eyes, leaned against the side of the boat, looked at the bright moon in a steady manner, and whispered softly: "Zhou Lang, do you say that you live alone in the Moon Palace, will Sister Chang'e feel lonely?"
Zhou Yu rolled up his sleeves and reached into the cool river. A cold feeling reached his heart. This was a rare calmness. During the days when he escaped from Wucheng with Xiao Qiao, he could feel Xiao Qiao's deep love every moment.
"If you have love in your heart, you will never be lonely. No matter what happens in the future, remember, in the deepest part of my heart, you will always be reserved for you!" Zhou Yu stretched out his hand, and a crystal drop of water slid from his hand, revealing a faint luster, rolling down to Xiao Qiao's fingertips.
Xiao Qiao's eyes stared at the melting water droplets and said, "This is happiness. As long as you and I cherish it, you can keep it!"
"People say that Zhou Lang from Jiangdong is so handsome, but now he sees it is true!" With this loud laugh, Gao Chong jumped off the flames quickly and stepped onto the Fengqiao a few steps.
Zhou Yu looked up and looked up, and he saw a man standing like a jade tree standing in the wind, facing the bright moon in the sky, with an indescribable free and easy temperament.
"Is it Gao Chong?" Zhou Yu blurted out.
Gao Chong leaned over and smiled slightly, "When Emperor Gaozu occupied Hanzhong, there was a good story about Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon. Today, the moon is bright and the wind is clear. Pet is not talented and wants to imitate old friends, but I don't know if the general is interested!"
"Brother-in-law!" The joy of trust appeared on Xiao Qiao's face. When he heard Gao Chong's question, Xiao Qiao knew that everything she had worried about was no longer there.
Zhou Yu bowed lightly and said, "Yu is not Han Xin, have you seen the wrong person?"
Gao Chong didn't care when he heard Zhou Yu's refusal, and said, "Although the general is not Han Xin, he has the talent of Han Xin. Chong and the general have been in duel for three years. He has been in a state of great friendship for a long time. How can he not know the general's ability? Now he has already prepared a small amount of wine in the wine shop on the shore. Why don't you blame the past?"
Zhou Yu was about to refuse, but Xiao Qiao beside him had already grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and said repeatedly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, we will definitely go."
Gao Chong looked at Zhou Yu's hesitant expression and drew his sword and smiled: "More than 200 years ago, the Han general Li Ling went to the desert and encountered the main force of the Xiongnu Shanyu. As a result, he was stained with blood. Five thousand Jiangdong soldiers were all killed in this battle. Two hundred years later, seeing the Han Dynasty's chaos, how could the children of Jiangdong live in the wilderness and act as a sensation!"
Although Gao Chong's words were not loud, they were extremely passionate. Li Ling was the grandson of Li Guang, a flying general during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. Zeng Tong entered the north of Mo. As a result, he was defeated because he was outnumbered. Li Ling himself was captured. At that time, there were many debates about whether Li Ling had rebelled. Even Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who had always been wise and wise, believed the rumors and killed Li Ling's family by chance.
However, all this does not harm the reputation of the five thousand Jiangdong children who buried their bones in the desert.
As a man in Jiangdong, Gao Chong also uses their deeds to inspire himself.
Zhou Yu naturally knew this story. At this moment, he heard Gao Chong mention it, and he didn't realize that his thoughts were fluctuating and it was difficult to calm down. As a man, who didn't want to make achievements and was granted a title of marquis and ministers.
"Okay! Just by your words, I'll drink this wine!" Zhou Yu said loudly.
Fengqiao Tavern is just a shop in Linhe. On the other side of the river are stone slabs and stone pillars with holes on the side, which are used to tie cables.
While balancing the shaking ship's side, Zhou Yu reached out to tie the cable, then carefully picked up Xiao Qiao, jumped off the ship with a big step, and landed steadily on the stone steps.
"Qinger, are you scared?" Zhou Yu asked with concern.
Xiao Qiao shook his head lightly and said coquettishly: "It's okay, I'm not that spoiled. My brother-in-law is waiting there, go over!"
Gao Chong sat upright at one end of the bridge, with only two wine bottles and one wine jar on the table.
"Come on, I've done it for the past three years of mutual memory!" Gao Chong said loudly to Zhou Yu, while raising his head and drinking it all.
Zhou Yu picked up the wine bottle, poured it into his mouth without being left behind, and replied: "Three years of separation from life and death is enough. From now on, you can no longer worry about Yu!"
Gao Chong said, "No, if the general can return, you and me should be chatting and laughing, and there is no need to be frowning!"
Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Shu Yu was so straightforward. Just now, Yu only responded to drink a bottle of wine, but he did not agree to join the adults!"
Gao Chong seemed to have not heard Zhou Yu's words, and filled another bottle of wine and said again: "In the past, King Xiang broke through the siege at Gaixia and arrived at the Wujiang River. An old man arrived by a boat. King Xiang saw that the boat was small and could not cross it, so he only walked the Wuzhi horse onto the boat, turned around and returned to the battle, and eventually committed suicide. The general knows this past event!"
"Of course I know." Zhou Yu didn't know why Gao Chong looked around and said, so he responded.
Gao Chong said in a deep voice: "If King Xiang abandoned his horse and crossed the river, what would the result be?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Although Xiang Yu is brave, he is not good at planning. Since his father Fan Zeng was abandoned, Xiang Yu has no courage around him. How can he not be defeated? Therefore, even if he has the opportunity to rise to Jiangdong again, he cannot change the end of the Chu-Han dispute."
Gao Chong's eyes lit up, suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Zhou Yu, and continued: "General is good at generals, if Han Xin, King Huai, the general is good at planning, if Ya's father Fan Zeng, now Chong sincerely invites you, I hope the general can ignore past grudges and make great achievements together!"
While he was talking, a cheerful laugh came from the other end of the corridor: "Peo Shuai, Gong Jin, why don't you call me early if you have good wine?"
This is Lu Su's voice.
When Zhou Yu saw Lu Su, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes and asked, "Zijing, why are you here?"
Lu Su smiled and said, "If I don't come, wouldn't Gong Jin be missing a drinker?"
Zhou Yu lowered his head and said ashamed: "With Zi Jing here, no wonder I will be defeated!"
Lu Su said seriously: "Why did Gong Jin say this? I haven't seen you for only a few years. Where did you go when you guide Zhou Gong Jin in the past? Are you willing to live in seclusion in the mountains and rivers like this? Is it true that you are willing to die in the mountains and forests and springs in this way?"
Zhou Yu's face moved, Lu Su's words were about to touch his heart, but if he could completely let go of his guilt towards Sun Ce, he would not be able to do it for the moment.
Gao Chong saw Zhou Yu's hesitation and said, "The general is indeed very talented and knows that the general does not want to be enemies with the former subordinates of the Sun family. Therefore, if the general is willing to surrender, the general will never make things difficult for the general and should treat him as brothers!"
In the past, a swornship with Zhou Tai had a great influence on Gao Chong. He was once a brother who trusted each other and had to fight each other in the end. This was really heartbreaking. Therefore, although Gao Chong had a strong relationship with Taishi Ci, Gan Ning and others over the years, he never easily spoke up the word "brother".
When I saw Zhou Yu today, Gao Chong not only couldn't help but relax his wish, but also made a rare breakthrough in the "brother" as a heart demon.
"Peng Jin and the Piaoshang are already brother-in-law, and it is very appropriate to call each other brothers!" Lu Su also smiled.
Zhou Yu's face turned red and hesitated and said, "I and I are not married yet-!"
Gao Chong laughed and said, "There is a mistake in the words of the song. Zhou Langgu. Gong Jin is so elegant. No wonder Xiao Qiao's sister chases each other from afar! You and I are a spontaneous man. I will treat those customs and practices very much. Tomorrow I will testify for you and let you get married as soon as possible!"
Zhou Yu blushed and lost his calmness as usual after saying something.
After a while, Zhou Yu calmed down and said, "For marriage, you still need to go back to Shucheng to report your mother before you can, so I want to take Zhao back to Shucheng first. After everything is settled, I will come to see the coach!"
"Okay——I will wait for Gong Jin to come back at any time!" Gao Chong finally felt relieved when he heard Zhou Yu, and was immediately overjoyed. He had never been absolutely convinced about Zhou Yu. Now, let alone Zhou Yu's request, even ten or twenty Gao Chong would agree without hesitation.
Zhou Yu stepped forward, held Gao Chong's hand and said, "A real man promises a thousand gold, and he will have no regrets in life and death!"
