Zhuge Yi always felt that he had already been " tricked " by his foster father, Zhuge Liang, before he even reached Jiangling, the capital of South County in Jingzhou.
He looked at Zhao Yun, who was waiting for him to call her "uncle", and felt extremely helpless.
As for why he said his destination was Jiangling, the capital of Jingzhou's South County, and not Xiangyang, the capital of the state?
Because Xiangyang City was not in Liu Bei's hands.
It was in Cao Cao's hands.
After the Battle of Red Cliff, the seven prefectures of Jingzhou were divided by Cao, Sun, and Liu.
(The nine counties of Jing and Xiang were based on the original seven counties. A part of Nanyang County and South County was divided into Xiangyang County and Zhangling County. These two counties were set up later.）
Amongst them.
Cao Cao occupied Nanyang County, which had the largest population, as well as the northern part of Jiangxia County.
Sun Quan occupied most of Jiangxia County and most of Nanjun.
As Liu Bei was the weakest, he did not have the chance to participate in the contest between Nanyang County, Jiangxia County, and South County.
They only had the four counties of Jingnan that did not have much profit. Wuling, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and a small part of South County.
Later.
In order to realize Zhuge Liang's plan of fighting Cao Cao in the north in Longzhong Dui, Liu Bei borrowed Nanjun from Sun Quan, which Zhou Yu had taken from Cao Ren with half his life.
In other words…the so-called Imperial Uncle Liu was borrowing Jingzhou.
After taking control of South County, Liu Bei decided to establish his rule in Jiangling, not Jingnan, which had a poor geographical location, a poor population, and a lack of resources.
Zhuge Yi secretly considered the changes in Jing State's territory after the Red Cliff War. In the end, he chose to compromise on the matter of denying Zhao Yun as his uncle.
He had no choice!
Although Zhao Yun kept saying that it was Zhuge Liang's request to call him uncle, he still wanted him to call himself his nephew.
However, from Ling's perspective, this was also Zhao Yun taking the initiative to express goodwill.
After all.
Not just anyone could call Zhao Yun uncle.
The prerequisite was that it depended on whether Zhao Yun, the meritorious elder who followed Imperial Uncle Liu, was willing or not.
If Zhuge Yi and Zhao Yun, a valiant general on the battlefield, had decided to be 'uncle and nephew', he would be the one to take advantage of them.
After understanding this, Zhuge Yi no longer had any hesitation.
He first tidied up his slightly wrinkled robe, then took a step back and bowed to Zhao Yun.
"Nephew Zhuge Yi greets uncle!”
During the process of saluting, Zhuge Yi did not use his name to greet Zhao Yun.
It wasn't that he didn't want to.
It was because he was still underage and his father, Zhuge Jin, had not given him a proper name.
Logically speaking.
Before they parted just now, Zhuge Jin could have given him a name in advance.
But for some reason, Zhuge Jin did not mention this matter.
However…
Although his father, Zhuge Jin, had never mentioned it, Zhuge Yi knew it very well.
His father wanted to leave the opportunity to give him a surname to his future adoptive father, Zhuge Liang.
His intention was self-evident.
……
On the deck of the warship.
Zhao Yun looked at Zhuge Yi, who was bowing respectfully to him, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Nephew, since you call me uncle, how can I, as your uncle, not express anything?”
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
Zhao Yun clapped her hands three times…
In the distance, the soldiers who had been following Zhao Yun all this while heard the sound and immediately walked over with a sword in their hands.
Zhuge Yi, who had straightened his back after bowing, noticed this.
At first, Zhuge Yi did not think much of it.
He thought that Zhao Yun had given him a good sword.
But very quickly.
He realized that he was wrong.
Not only was it wrong.
It was even more ridiculous.
Because the longsword that greeted his eyes was extremely extraordinary.
The entire body of the sword emitted a green glow, and the two words "Green Melon" were engraved on the hilt.
Looking at the green longsword in front of him, Zhuge Yi found it hard not to recognize its name.
Emperor Wu of Wei had a green sword.
It was the peerless sword that the silver-armored and white-robed general in front of him had seized when he killed General Xiahou En on the way to save Ah Dou.
Zhao Yun noticed the change in Zhuge Yi's expression.
"It seems that you have recognized the origin of this sword!"”
"Perfect!"
"It also saves your uncle the trouble of introducing you!”
After that.
Zhao Yun acted as if she was giving away an ordinary small object. She picked up the Green Rainbow Sword without any hesitation and handed it to Zhuge Yi.
"Now, it's yours!”
Zhuge Yi came back to his senses when he felt the coldness in his hand.
"Uncle, you mustn't!" He repeatedly rejected Zhao Yun.”
"This sword is too precious!"
"It is far more effective in your hands than in mine.”
"Besides, if I accept your gift here, I'm afraid my father will blame me.”
The father Zhuge Yi was referring to was not Zhuge Jin, but Zhuge Liang.
Who knew?
Faced with Zhuge Yi's rejection, Zhao Yun said unhappily,""I told you to keep it, so keep it!"
"The military counselor will definitely not blame him!”
"And…"
Zhao Yun looked in the direction of Jiangling and said,"When we reach Jiangling, General Guan, General Zhang San, General Chen Dao, and the lord will definitely give you some gifts!”
"At that time, are you going to reject them one by one?”
"Hehe, especially General Zhang San. He's not as easy to talk to as your Uncle Yun.”
"It's possible that your rejection means that he's looking down on you!”
Zhao Yun's words rendered Zhuge Yi speechless.
He had heard of forced purchases and forced gifts, but when had he ever seen someone "coercing" others to accept gifts?
Moreover…
Zhuge Yi realized…
After interacting with Zhao Yun for a period of time, he felt that Zhao Yun's temperament was somewhat different from the image of a cold and aloof silver-armored general on a white horse that he imagined.
How should he put it.
He was too approachable!
Was it because he was facing a junior?
Or could it be…
Zhao Yun's cold and taciturn image was actually a figment of the imagination of the literary novels of the later generations?
For a moment, Zhuge Yi was confused.
