Thank you for inviting people to read the book and the reward of Yu Lianlan, hehe.

Governor Zhou, Zhou Yu?
Liu Fengchang breathed a sigh of relief. History has not changed fatally. Now he may now sit in Xiakou fishing and read books, laughing to see how Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang cleans up Cao.
Xu Shu seemed to have been stimulant, and his cloudy face was instantly radiant, but he was not as completely relieved as Liu Feng, and then asked, "How many soldiers and horses have come to Dongwu this time?"
Sun Qian pulled his finger and calculated: "There are about 30,000 water soldiers."
"Only 30,000..." Xu Shu frowned again and thought for a moment, "Although there are fewer soldiers and horses, if they only defend and do not attack, it is barely enough. By the way, are these 30,000 Wu soldiers plenipotentied by Zhou Yu?
Sun Qian shook his head: "Wu Hou only appointed Zhou Yu as the left governor, and also appointed Cheng Pu as the right governor, leading 10,000 soldiers and troops alone to assist Zhou Yu. Wu Hou led 20,000 soldiers and horses and stayed in Chaisang as a reserve army.
Xu Shu's eyebrows showed some worry. Liu Feng saw it clearly and asked, "Mr. Yuan Zhi, is there anything wrong with Wu Hou's use of troops like this?"
"Wu Hou sent Cheng Pu, a veteran of Yuangong, as the right governor. Obviously, he was not sure that Zhou Yu would lead the army alone. In such a decisive battle related to survival, the most taboo thing was that the power of the general was suppressed and he could not control the three armies. Wu Hou's move is too motivated by power, but it lacks overall consideration.
Xu Shu's words surprised Liu Feng. In his impression, Zhou Yu had been good friends with Sun Ce since he was a child. He made great contributions to Sun Ce's pacify Jiangdong. Moreover, the two married Xiao Qiao, and the relationship was still a relative.
After Sun Ce was assassinated, Sun Quan's position was unstable, and thanks to Zhou Yu's full support, Sun Quan was stabilized in the position of Jiangdong. Why would Sun Quan be afraid of such a loyal person to the Sun family?
"Sir, didn't Wu Hou always claim to be his brother Zhou Gongjin? Now at such a critical moment, why do you suddenly distrust him? Liu Feng really wants to know the secret.
Xu Shu twisted his beard and said, "Zhou Yu can become friends with Sun Ce. Naturally, their temperaments and feelings are naturally very similar, and their style of doing things has always been bold and confident. After Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu immediately led troops to Danyang to express his support for Wu Hou, which was naturally very helpful for stabilizing Wu Hou's position. But think about it, Zhou Yu, a general, brought troops without the Lord's consent in advance. Can any lord of the hero turn a blind eye to it?
Xu Shu's words are like a sharp scalpel, cutting through the superficial surface of the event, cutting open the flesh and blood of the entanglement, and the truth hidden in layers of illusions.
At this time, Liu Feng felt that he had benefited a lot in a trance. He suddenly felt that in such an era of power, the relationship between people was far from simple enemies and friends. The Lord and minister were so black and white, as virtual and real as the Art of War said. If he could not be like Xu Shu, through the present If you want to discover the essence, how can you open up a bright future for yourself from the political group you are in?
"So that's it. It seems that this war is getting more and more complicated." After Liu Feng was clicked by Xu Shu, his excited mood gradually calmed down.
"Ha ha, Yuan Zhi, I think you are too worried." Sun Qian's relaxed laughter interrupted the solemn conversation between the two of them.
"Uncle Gongyou, what do you think?"
Liu Feng knew that Sun Qian had accompanied Zhuge Liang to Eastern Wu this time, and most of them had met Zhou Yu. His views on Eastern Wu's dispatch of troops may be more grounded than their empty comments here.
"At the time of Chai Sang, Kong Ming's military division also said that although Wu Hou was young, his power was extremely heavy. He appointed Cheng Pu as the right governor, which did have the intention of suppressing Zhou Yu. However, in my opinion, Zhou Yu's style of dealing with people, this so-called restraint can't affect his command of the whole army at all.
"What's so special about this Governor Zhou?" Xu Shu's eyes were strange.
Sun Qian smiled and said, "Get along with Zhou Gongjin can be described in four words."
Sun Qian slowly refused to speak out, which was a little appetizing to them.
Most of Liu Feng's understanding of the Three Kingdoms is limited to a book. In the Romance, Zhou Yu is narrow-minded, competitive, and quite unbearable. Of course, Liu Feng knows that there are fictional elements in it. If he is really such an unbearable person, how can Dongwu Qunhao fall under his command and achieve the achievements through the ages?
At this time, he was eager to know what kind of person Zhou Yu was, so he urged, "Uncle Gongyou, don't be a jerk. Which four words are they?"
Sun Qian laughed. This time, he stopped hesitating and simply said the word: "It's like a spring breeze."
Like a spring breeze!
In an instant, vivid adjectives appeared in Liu Feng's chest: handsome, elegant, approachable, gray and funny... In one, it is like the word Mu Chunfeng, which is already a quite high evaluation, which is quite different from Liu Feng's previous image.
"I've only heard of 'Zhu Youmistake, Zhou Langgu'. I think this Governor of Zhou is an elegant and romantic figure. Gongyou, you said that you would get along with him, like bathing in the spring breeze, which was a little unexpected to me." Xu Shu also seems to believe it.
Sun Qian stroked a wisp of green beard and said, "What kind of person Zhou Gongjin is? It will be clear at first sight tomorrow. If the eldest prince and Yuan Zhi don't believe it, let's wait and see."
On the same day, the news of Dongwu's troops spread all over Xiakou. The cloud over Xiakou City seemed to be dispersed by the east wind in an instant. The dense clouds finally cracked a few cracks, and the sunlight squeezed out of the clouds. Although it was rare, it also brought a little light of hope.
According to Liu Bei's order, Liu Jiajun around Xiakou belonged to Commander Guan Yu when he was away. Now Guan Yu is in command of the water army north of Xiakou. He has no time for a while, so he sent someone to spread the message. Xu Shu is fully responsible for the labor force and the vigilance of Xiakou.
Although the two families have allied, as Liu Qi feared, it is impossible for the feud between them to be released overnight, and they still have to guard against people. Therefore, when Xu Shu was preparing for the labor army, he sent an order to Zhao Yun to strengthen his vigilance in the south of Xiakou. At the same time, he also sent a branch to Liu Qi in the water village in the south of the city and asked him to let his navy secretly guard in case of emergency.
I was busy all night and didn't sleep all night. The next time, when it was not dawn, Xu Shu would join Liu Feng and take a large number of high-quality cattle, sheep, wine and vegetables prepared overnight. He waited on the trestle on the trestle of Shuizhai and looked east, waiting for the arrival of the army of Eastern Wu.
When the first ray of dawn, like a pair of eyes, pierced the mist in the sky and embroidered the warm golden thread on the outline of the excited and uneasy face, Liu Feng, who had excellent eyesight, suddenly pointed to the east and shouted excitedly, "Coming, the water army of Eastern Wu is coming."
