Chapter 014 Master is lonely, fortunate to have you
Liu Pi held his hands behind his back and forth in the tent, feeling restless.
Although they are dependent on Sun Jian now, it is just because Sun Jian is strong and has the support of Yuan, the Yuan family of four generations and three generations, so they have to bow their heads. From the bottom of their hearts, he has no confidence in Sun Jian and even looks down on him. In terms of origin, Sun Jian is not as good as him and Gong Du.
When receiving Sun Ce, they just wanted to ask Sun Jian for help through Sun Ce's mouth. But what surprised them was that Zhou Yu was actually by Sun Ce's side, and it seemed that Sun Ce was the main one and served Sun Ce. Lujiang bordered Runan, and they were not unfamiliar with the Zhou family of Lujiang. Since Zhou Yu's grandfather Zhou Jing, the Zhou family has had two generations of three dukes. Although they are incomparable to the Yuan family of four generations, they are already the first-class aristocratic clan in Lujiang.
Every move of the Zhou family in Lujiang may have a demonstration effect. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are just walking together because of the way or because he decided to support Sun Ce. This is what Liu Pi wants to understand the most now.
There were footsteps outside the tent, and Liu Pi did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried out of the tent and greeted him in person.
"Zhou Lang is here and is preparing to be hasty. He is not welcome. I want Zhou Lang to be with him." Liu Pi smiled and reached out to invite him.
Zhou Yu bowed and returned the greeting and smiled faintly. "General is so polite. Yu is just a young man in Lujiang. He is already disgusted with the general. How dare he be more and more? General's words, Yu dare not take it."
Seeing that Zhou Yu was polite and did not show off his aristocratic family, Liu Pi laughed. He welcomed Zhou Yu into the tent, took a seat with the host and said a few irrelevant gossips, and then he looked like he was asking for advice sincerely. "Zhou Lang's itinerary is tight, so he shouldn't have been wasting your time. But what Sun Lang said yesterday was too profound. I still couldn't understand it after thinking about it all night. Zhou Lang had a good relationship with Sun Lang, and I guess he knew each other very well, so I asked Zhou Lang to come, hoping that Zhou Lang could solve my doubts."
Zhou Yu understood in his heart. Liu Pi and Gong were not convinced of Sun Ce’s suggestions, but this was not the point. He even Lujiang Zhou’s attitude towards Sun Ce was what Liu Pi wanted to know. The influence of the aristocratic family was not only reflected in their strength, but also in their demonstration effect. If the Lujiang Zhou family fully supported Sun Ce, no matter how ridiculous Sun Ce’s suggestions were, Liu Pi and Gong would not dare to take it lightly.
"Sun Lang gave advice to the general with a clear purpose and a clear plan. What are the difficult things to solve?"
When Liu Pi heard this, his heart was even more moved. Zhou Yu's evaluation of Sun Ce was so high that their relationship would definitely be better. He smiled. "Zhou Lang is extremely intelligent, and he understands it as soon as he hears it. I am ignorant, but I don't understand it very well, so I have to ask Zhou Lang for advice."
"What do you don't understand?" Zhou Yu said lightly, neither arrogant nor enthusiastic.
"Sun Lang planned a way out for us, hoping that we would go to Jiangnan, why should we go to Jingzhou instead of going to Lujiang?"
Zhou Yu smiled silently and raised his eyebrows. "It's not impossible to go to Lujiang, but where did the food along the way for hundreds of thousands of yellow turbans come from? Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, is kind, but Lujiang cannot provide so much food, so you will inevitably be afraid of freezing and hunger. After passing the river, it is Yuzhang County. Whether you can settle in Yuzhang County needs permission from the governor of Yangzhou and Yuzhang County. Whether it can be achieved is still unknown. By Jingzhou, you can cross the river and enter Changsha. General Sun was the prefect of Changsha, and his kindness is clear. Since you arranged it by him, all this is not a problem."
Liu Pi looked like he woke up from a dream and nodded repeatedly. In fact, he understood all these principles, but from Zhou Yu's mouth, his attitude towards the Sun family father and son was clearly visible.
"So, Zhou Lang also thinks we should leave Runan and go to Changsha? People are nostalgic and cannot leave their hometowns, so it is not easy."
Zhou Yu nodded. "What the general said is not unreasonable, but these are the principles considered by ordinary people, not the general. A real man is determined by all directions, so why should he guard his hometown? The sage said that he would not enter a dangerous country and would not live in a chaotic country. If the lower generals are in chaos today, the melee of the Central Plains is on the string. He guarded Runan, for the mermaid meat, or avoid Changsha, and opened up a happy land. The Yellow Turban and millions of people are only in the general's thoughts."
Liu Pi smiled and bowed to salute. "Thank you for your advice, Pi is grateful. I wonder if Zhou Lang went to Nanyang this time to go on the way or stay for a long time? If you can ask for help, it would be a great blessing for us."
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "General is a general under General Sun. I am with Sun Lang. I will inevitably be around General Sun in the future. It is not difficult to meet. As for the request, Sun Lang plans for the general. The general has a bright future. Why ask me for help? Maybe I also ask the general for help."
Liu Pi laughed.
The planner was nervous, and Sun Ce was worried that Sun Jian would be in danger and refused to stay in Liu Pi's camp for a long time. After breakfast, they hurriedly set off. Zhou Yu told Sun Ce about what Liu Pi talked to him, and Sun Ce was calm. Although Liu Pi was the Yellow Turban Army and was already like a bandit, they might not be able to like Sun Jian. In comparison, Zhou Yu's persuasion was much stronger than him.
In this era of family background, a warrior from a poor family could not be qualified to call him and gather around him. That was the treatment only for aristocratic families like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and even the Zhou family dared not expect it.
"There are always many mediocre people in the world, and few wise people." Sun Ce smiled and said, "Gongjin, do you feel lonely as a master?"
Zhou Yu thought about it and couldn't help laughing out loud, showing a hint of compassion. "Fortunately, I have you."
Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. He was even happier than Zhou Yu's joy of meeting a soulmate. Although Zhou Yu was young and had insufficient experience, he was one of the most outstanding talents of this era, and his talent was there. If he could get his recognition, he would get more recognition. When he arrived in Nanyang, he would have to deal with Yuan Shu and the people around Yuan Shu. Taking Jingzhou, he would also have to deal with the aristocratic families in Jingzhou. It would be more appropriate for Zhou Yu, a descendant family to come forward than for him.
After all, he is not a person of this era. If he speaks too much, he will easily reveal flaws, which will sooner or later arouse others' suspicion. If he always shows off his edge like he talks to Lu Kang, it may not be convincing. A gentleman can deceive him, and not everyone is as stubborn as Lu Kang. Wouldn't Zhou Yu be suspicious?
After traveling westward, more than ten days later, Sun Ce and others entered Nanyang from the northern foot of Tongbai Mountain through Wusheng Pass. After inquiring, Sun Jian was fighting in Xiangyang, and Sun Ce did not want to go to Wancheng. His mission was to avoid his father Sun Jian making that low-level mistake. He died inexplicably, but he had no time to chat and spank with Yuan Shu.
Zhou Yu is Lu Kangju's filial integrity, but he obviously has no interest in this. He ignored Shang Jianli's repeated begging and decided to go with Sun Ce. Shang Jianli was very disappointed. From now on, he can only be responsible for his safety. No one can tell whether he can come back alive or not.
