It was mid-August in Chaisang. Zhou Yu was playing the zither and singing in Pengze. He would occasionally glance at Xiao Qiao, who was knitting beside him. He suddenly felt that all his grievances were gone.
What Cao Ren, what Zhuge Liang, what Liu Feng?
I have a beautiful wife, Xiao Qiao. Even Cao Ah Man is jealous of me!
"Reporting…Viceroy, Lu Zijing has an urgent message from the 800-li waterway.”
"Oh?" Zhou Yu frowned slightly. Lu Su was a strict person and would not be so rash unless there was something important. He immediately stretched out his hand and said," Hand it over."”
He took the letter and opened it to read it. His face fell.
"Little brat Liu Feng, you dare to say that you want to exchange a strategy for the country for three hundred thousand dans of rations?”
"Hahaha…"
"What a joke!"
"In the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao's 800,000 strong army was no match for him. I alone am enough to rule the world, why would I need Lu Su to plan?”
"Hehe…"
At this moment, Xiaojiao, who was carrying a pot of pears, couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at, Madam?" Zhou Yu treated Xiaojiao very well.
"That Liu Feng appears in your mouth every day. Is he really that infuriating?”
Zhou Yu was annoyed when he heard this." That's right. This yellow-haired kid thinks that just because he's Liu Bei's adopted son, he dares to do whatever he wants. If it wasn't for Cao Cao's current power, it wouldn't be good to fall out with Liu Bei. During the Battle of Jiangling, I would have already ordered him to be captured and killed.”
"Puchi!"
Xiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh again." But my husband, he still fought back and forth with our 100,000 strong army.”
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment." This kid is quite brave.”
"Husband, do you know who was the last person you scolded?”
Zhou Yu was slightly startled." Who is it?"
Xiao Qiao smiled sweetly." Zhuge Liang.”
"Kong Ming?" Zhou Yu's eyes turned sharp." How can a mere yellow-haired child like Liu Feng compare to the Sleeping Dragon?"”
"But he schemed against husband and made husband hate him to the bone.”
Zhou Yu fell silent, a thoughtful look on his face.
"Send a message to Lu Su. Tell him not to ask Liu Feng what his plan is. Tell Liu Bei to mobilize 50,000 troops from Xiangyang to the north. As long as he can delay Xu Huang's army from Xiangyang and Cao Hong's army from Fancheng, he will be promised 100,000 dan of grain.”
"Here."
Immediately, a servant came forward with an inkstone and Liu Feng's paper. Xiao Qiao knelt down and helped Zhou Yu grind the ink.
Soon, a letter was sent to Jiangling City.
——
On this day, Liu Feng was studying the Spring and Autumn Annals beside Xu Shu, accompanied by Sun Huan and Xiang Chong.
"100,000 stones made my marquis father mobilize 50,000 troops north, but he directly rejected it. My Jing and Xiang five counties only have this much soldiers. Zhou Yu is quite arrogant. Fat."
Three days later, after being rejected once, Lu Su did not send anyone to deliver the letter, but personally paid a visit.
Liu Feng met him alone in the front hall.
"Zijing came in a hurry. Could there be another change?”
"This is an urgent letter from the Marquis of Wu. Please take a look, young general.”
Liu Feng took the letter and slowly opened it.
Don't say that Sun Quan's official script isn't bad.
Moreover, the message was very sincere and expressed her gratitude.
It was mainly about the matter of giving him the art of printing, as well as the matter of his sister Sun Shangxiang being conferred the title of Jiangling Marquis and having 3,000 households of food.
Liu Feng took a few more glances at the last sentence.
"I inherited my father and brother's family business. After several years, I've been mediocre. Brother is my brother-in-law. If you have any strange ideas, you can tell me. Let alone 300,000 stones of grain, even if you want weapons and warships, I will agree.”
He was here.
Zhou Yu had fallen ill and was recuperating in Chaisang. Sun Quan's trusted aide, Lu Su, was leading the army. Sun Quan wanted to use this opportunity to let Lu Su gain some military merits. Firstly, it was to let him, Marquis Wu, establish his prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of River East. Secondly, it was to groom Lu Su so that he could take over Zhou Yu at any time.
He also wanted to use this method to tell Zhou Yu that there was someone else in Dongwu who could win the war besides him. Don't be as arrogant and despotic as usual, and treat me, Marquis Wu, with more respect.
Liu Feng put down the letter and looked at Lu Su seriously.
"So, Wu Hou sent Zijing here this time because he entrusted the matter of 300,000 dans of grain?”
"Not bad." Lu Su stroked his beard and replied indifferently.
300,000 dan of grain was a huge sum for the former Eastern Wu.
However, after the Battle of Red Cliff, they had taken the rations from Cao Cao's 800,000 strong army. Taking out 300,000 dan of rations from their warehouse was not a problem.
Most importantly, Sun Quan wanted to suppress Zhou Yu and establish his prestige.
She wanted to prove that other than Zhou Yu's strategy of seizing Jingzhou and Yizhou to divide the world and rule across the river, there was no other way for her to strengthen Dongwu!
Liu Feng pursed his lips." Alright, I'll tell Zijing after I dismiss my subordinates!”
Since the fish had already taken the bait, then he would raise the rod. The wool of Dongwu seemed to be almost gone!
