Zhou Yu has been back to Chaisang for nearly a month to recuperate, but his health has not recovered very well.

Zhou Yu's health is important in resting. The military doctor originally expected to be able to recover within two or three months.

But the doctor did not expect that Zhou Yu could not get a good resting environment in Chaisang. Sun Yu was like a maggot attached to the bone, and he kept entangled Zhou Yu.

Because of the murder of Pei Yuanshao's body, Sun Yu suffered a lot of flesh and blood and humiliation when he was detained in Moling. Sun Yu hated those who had insulted him so much.

In addition, Sun Yu hated Zhou Yu, who "caused himself to this great humiliation". Although Sun Quan had warned him several times, Sun Yu still refused to give in, slandering Zhou Yu's reputation through various channels and harassed Zhou Yu's rest...

Influenced by Sun Yu, there were more and more rumors about Zhou Yu in Chaisang City, and knowledgeable people such as Lu Su were worried about this...

Zhou Yu's mansion, in the study

"Gong Jin, are you in good health?" Lu Su asked in a harmonious voice, covering up his inner worries.

"It's okay..." Because of the cold weather, Zhou Yu was wrapped in a thick cotton robe, his face still looked a little pale, and there was an indelible gloom between his eyebrows and eyes.

In the past month, Sun Yu's words and deeds have made Zhou Yu helpless, but Sun Quan's performance has made Zhou Yu feel a little disappointed. After returning to Chaisang, although Sun Quan showed concern for Zhou Yu, his attitude towards the rumors spread by Sun Yu seemed a bit ambiguous.

"Zi Jing, in this case, you can still be without any scruples. You are the only one who comes to visit me every few days..." Zhou Yuqiang smiled and said with a little self-deprecating.

"Please don't think so..." Lu Su shook his head. He comforted Zhou Yu with a harmonious voice, "The lord and other colleagues are just busy with military and political affairs, so they cannot get out of here..."

"Zijing, although Zhou Yu is in good health, he still knows it in his heart, so there is no need to comfort him with kind words..." Zhou Yu said with a faint smile.

"..." Lu Su sighed silently for a moment.

"It's a pity that all the soldiers who followed General Zhongyi that day were gone in Danyang... If one of them could be returned to Chaisang.

Then we can know the reason for the matter! I have some doubts. When General Zhongyi attacked Moling, he did not act in accordance with Gong Jin's orders, and even the matter was leaked..." After a pause, Lu Su changed the topic and expressed his doubts.

"No matter what, I am the chief general of the army in the Battle of Danyang. I should bear the responsibility for the death of Youping and 4,000 soldiers..." Zhou Yu did not understand Lu Su's meaning.

But he didn't want to use this to shirk responsibility, "Forget it, don't mention this matter yet! Is there anything wrong with Zijing, Danyang, and Wujun?" Although he was half-idle, Zhou Yu still couldn't let go of all kinds of affairs.

"Zhang Fei is in Danyang, and the recruitment of troops in Wujun seems to have ended. His new recruits are stepping up their training. It seems that the day when his troops are completed is the time to move south and west..." Lu Su said in a deep voice with a hint of worry on his face.

"In addition, a righteous man raised an army to rebel against Liu a month ago..."

"What's the result?" Zhou Yu asked with concern.

"Being destroyed in less than three days!" Lu Su sighed, "Wei Yan, the enemy general who was stationed in Wujun by Zhang Fei, is not an ordinary character. Duke Ding (Lu Dai, the prefect of Kuaiji), was defeated by him that day.

This time, he suppressed the Wucheng Rebellion and was extremely decisive!"

"Huh..." Zhou Yu couldn't help but sighed with regret. "There are too many generals in Liu Bei's army who are good at fighting... Among them, Zhang Fei is the best. This person is definitely my number one enemy in Jiangdong!"

"Yeah!" Lu Su nodded and said in a deep voice, "Gong Jin, do you know that this Wucheng Rebellion is really not worth the cost for us!"

"Why is this?" Zhou Yu asked in confusion without knowing the detailed story of the matter.

"It would be fine if the person who invaded the matter was just against Liu. But the bad thing was that he actually colluded with bandits and trapped the city and harmed the people. Even the major clans in Wucheng County did not get rid of the disaster..." Lu Su frowned and said, "It is reported.

Those major clans have openly surrendered to Liu Bei, and even spread the matter in Jiangdong counties. Now even the gentry in Yuzhang and Luling know about this! After this incident, the lord lost his reputation in Jiangdong..."

"If there is no support from the clans, how can the lord gain a foothold in Jiangdong? This matter is to cut off the lord's foundation..." Zhou Yu said with a hurricane face and a little complaining, "Zijing, how can you be so confused?" Lu Su was responsible for the collection of information from Sun Quan's side and the dispatch of detailed disturbances to the enemy, so Zhou Yu complained.

"..." Lu Su shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "The 'righteous man' and his lord are old acquaintances. This matter was arranged by the lord himself, and I only learned about it afterwards..."

"..." After Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, he sighed helplessly to the sky, "The lord is too anxious!"

"There is another thing..." Lu Su thought of something again and said, "Gong Jin still remembers the young talent of Wujun you mentioned to me..."

"Lu Xun?" Zhou Yu said.

"It's him!" Lu Su nodded.

"How is he?" Zhou Yu had met Lu Xun and appreciated his talent. At that time, Zhou Yu had thought that after a while, he asked Sun Quan to put the conflict between Sun and Lu tribes aside and hire Lu Xun in an extraordinary way.

But unfortunately, the subsequent series of wars delayed this matter.

"He has become an official in Liu Bei!" Lu Su sighed, "and it seems that he has been appointed as the commander of Yuhang and Fuchun counties by Zhang Fei, and has also been granted the post of Duwei..."

"..." Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he said helplessly, "A horse of a thousand miles can never escape the eyes of Bole! With Lu Xun's talent, with a little training, he will become a strong enemy of our army... Fuchun? Zijing, did it..." Zhou Yu suddenly thought of something.

"Yeah!" Lu Su nodded slightly, "A few days ago, news came from Kuaiji - when Duke Lu Ding attacked Wujun, he was dragged by Lu Xun in Fuchun with hundreds of troops for more than three days. This boy was even bold enough to use the "empty city strategy"!"

After pausing, Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "Gong Jin, your vision is indeed good. This boy is indeed a rare genius in the world! It's a pity..."

"..." Zhou Yu was speechless, but his regret was uncontrollable in his eyes.

"Your Ma Teng doesn't have to be too frustrated..." Lu Su said comfortingly. "What happened these days is not all bad things. Just early this morning, I got the news that Ma Teng in Xiliang had been defeated.

After Cao Cao solved Xiliang, he could rest assured that he could advance north or south. Liu Bei might have a rare peace..."

"Oh~?" Zhou Yu was picked up in an instant and asked anxiously, "Zijing, tell me all you know!"

…………

After Lu Su finished speaking, Zhou Yu's expression had changed from excitement to solemnity: "Zi Jing. Do you really think this is a good thing?"

"What are your opinions?" Lu Su asked in confusion.

"Although Cao Cao defeated Ma Teng and his son this time, his troops were definitely losing a lot..." Zhou Yu knew that Lu Su had not really experienced the battle formation, and it was normal for some places to be unclear. "Once Cao Cao's troops were greatly damaged, he would be even more unable to deal with Liu Bei and Yuan Tan at the same time.

In my opinion, Cao Cao may even be difficult to defeat Yuan Tan now, so don’t talk about Liu Bei. In the long run, this matter is beneficial to Cao Cao and us; but in the short run, it is beneficial to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei can use this period of time to try his best to pacify Jiangdong. Zijing, who do you think is more realistic for me, Jiangdong in the long term?"

"..." After pondering for a moment, Lu Su nodded and said. "Your words are reasonable, but I expected it to be wrong!"

"Zijing, please make a quick comment to your lord———You must speed up the preparations for the army. The day when Zhang Fei attacks may not be far away!" Zhou Yu said anxiously.

"Don't worry..."

Moling. Conference Hall

“…From Jingxian in the south and Wuhu in the north, the network of probing the border on Danyang has been formed.

Once there is a slight abnormality, the whistle will be warned with wolf smoke (Note: wolf smoke does not necessarily need to burn wolf dung, it is generally easy to smoke materials) and our army can respond quickly..." Pang Tong said in an orderly manner, "In addition, as far as the general knows.

Among the Yue tribes in Danyang Mountain, there are strange people who can send messages with birds. If the general can use this skill well, it will be very convenient to use it as a warning message!"

"Birds send a message?" I raised my eyebrows slightly, remembered something, and asked in confusion, "Do you know the name of this bird?"

"This bird is called 'Dige'. It is reported that this bird is only available in Shuzhong and Danyang in Kuaiji. It is relatively rare!" Pang Tongdi has a very profound knowledge and has a wide range of knowledge.

It turned out to be a pigeon. No wonder! Unexpectedly, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a story about flying pigeons delivering letters, although the area used was extremely narrow.

If the breeding of carrier pigeons and the widely used transmission technology will be a great help to us.

In this era, there are only two ways to convey information quickly and conveniently———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

However, the disadvantages of these two methods are very obvious: the beacon fire and wolf smoke can only serve as general warnings, and some specific information cannot be transmitted. Once the smoke rises, it is inevitable that the fighter may miss it; passing a letter from a fast horse is not only horsepower, but also takes a long time.

In comparison, Fei Ge's letters are both hidden and fast.

"Can pigeon feeding techniques be extended?" I asked anxiously.

"It should be possible..." Pang Tong seemed very happy to see me quickly understand his meaning. "Tong once asked, among the Wudang Flying Army, some soldiers had raised pigeons and birds!"

"Very good!" I said without hesitation, "Shi Yuan, please be responsible for organizing people to raise pigeons and birds, and train the art of passing books!"

"It's what I wish!" Pang Tong also took this matter very seriously and agreed readily.

Although Pang Tong sometimes seems a little arrogant and irritable, his ability is not doubtful at all.

After he handed over the matters of intelligence collection, analysis and other matters to him, the important affairs that occurred in the counties in Jiangdong (including the counties under Sun Quan ruled) and the possible impacts could be reported to me more quickly, which immediately made me feel much more relaxed.

In the original historical trajectory, the saying "Sleeping dragons, phoenixes, can make you feel at peace with the world" may be a bit exaggerated, but Pang Tong is undoubtedly the kind of genius with the power of heaven and earth.

There is Jian Yong in government affairs, information, and strategy, I just need to concentrate on military affairs. It is because everyone does their own duties and get what they want. Doing everything yourself may not be a good thing!

"Shi Yuan. What's new happening there in Chaisang?"

"Sun Yu seemed to be making trouble more and more powerful. Now Chaisang can only be said to be full of rumors in the city.

In Tong's opinion, Zhou Yu's life might be difficult..." Pang Tong laughed and said, "If you don't try your best to suppress such a storm, I don't know what Sun Quan feels?" Pang Tong's expression seemed to be quite gloating.

"Haha..." My mood was very similar to Pang Tong - I was absolutely gloating!

"General, General!" Quan Cong, who was responsible for the inspection of the city today, suddenly hurried into the conference hall, bowed to me, and reported in a hurry, "The lord has 600 miles of express delivery!"

"Give it up!" My heart tightened, not knowing what had happened.

I took the sealed brocade bag from Quan Cong, took out the silk book and read it quickly. In a moment, I felt a buzzing sound in my mind, and I was stunned immediately.

"General, general!" Pang Tong asked anxiously when he saw that my expression was wrong. "What are the important matters?"

Pang Tong's voice woke me up. I hurriedly took the silk book to my eyes and read it carefully from beginning to end. The silk book was written by my elder brother, and it was written quite quickly, with only a few crosses on the letter.

But every word is eye-catching, every sentence is shocking——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Since Rong'er was pregnant, she has only been less than nine months old, so why did she get pregnant so quickly? This is obviously premature birth, and Rong'er is the first child, so the dangers are naturally unexplained.

I am still calm on weekdays, but now I feel completely confused and as if I am headless fly. I don’t know what to do. My whole body can’t help but tremble slightly. I can’t imagine it.

If Rong'er had any mistakes, how fatal the blow would be to me. If I could make a choice, I would rather give up the fetus in my abdomen than to have any damage to Rong'er.

Since he became effective, Pang Tong has never seen this brave General Zhang show any disobedience, but he doesn't know what happened today, which can actually panic this famous general of the world.

When the question was fruitless, Pang Tong boldly picked up the silk book by himself. He read it...
To be continued...
