Chapter 519: Zhou Yu Is so Angry that He Creates a Rift

Because of Wei Yan, the transaction that could have been completed quickly was delayed for nearly an hour.

At this moment, Zhang Fei sneezed six times in total and sneezed five times on Sun Ce.

Zhang Fei is already very gentle now. He only makes Sun Ce unconscious for a short time. After all, the hostages will be exchanged soon. It is not good to hit him too much. However, Zhang Fei's lighter attack is only relatively speaking. After all, he is a legend. A military commander, even if he holds back his strength, his hand strength is still strong enough.

Sun Ce was so tormented by Zhang Fei that he would feel uncomfortable for a few days no matter what happened when he returned home.

Zhou Yu took Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and followed the army transporting the loot to the place where the Baijie soldiers were camping.

Therefore, Wei Yan once again took on the job of quality inspector. He checked every item carefully for fear of missing something. He went through the quantity several times before putting the items away.

"King Lie, everything has been delivered and Huang Zhong has been released. I wonder if I can return the eldest son?"

Zhou Yu's tone was very polite, and Sun Jian made it clear that he did not want Sun Ce to be in danger, so Zhou Yu would naturally not disobey Sun Jian's wishes again.

Gu Rubing smiled slightly.

"There's no rush. I've heard Gong Jin's name for a long time. Today is a rare opportunity. Why don't Gong Jin sit here for a while, drink a cup of hot tea, warm up and go back without delay."

"There's no need to drink tea. My lord is still waiting for us to take the eldest son back in the camp. It's freezing cold here, so we can't bother him too much."

Zhou Yu secretly felt bitter in his heart. Gu Rubing's question was like putting him on a fire to roast him. Although both Cheng Pu and Huang Gai had an extraordinary relationship with him, the two hundred elite soldiers who followed them But no, these two hundred elite soldiers are Sun Jian's soldiers and are absolutely loyal to Sun Jian. If Zhou Yu does not respond with a clear rejection, they will go back and tell Sun Jian about this, and Sun Jian will also have a deep grudge against it.

It can be said that Zhou Yu knows the character of his lord the best. As long as there is something in his words or deeds that makes him suspicious, he will be on guard, and then no matter what bad things happen, he will be associated with him.

Therefore, Zhou Yu did not care about offending Gu Rubing and directly rejected Gu Rubing's proposal.

But how could Gu Rubing give up just like that? He still refused to give up.

"Gongjin, what you said is right. Isn't Chang Wen still checking the things you brought? If he doesn't check them carefully, he won't let me let them go. So, Gongjin, you guys, you better sit down. Warm yourself up with some hot tea."

"Since King Lie, you want to check, then just check. When the inspection is done, we will take the eldest son away. But hot tea is not needed."

Zhou Yu's words were airtight, saying that he would not accept any kindness from Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing smiled softly. This Grand Governor was really strict enough. He was worthy of being able to compete with Zhuge Liang. His reputation as a Confucian general was well-deserved. This also made Gu Rubing want to instigate rebellion against Zhou Yu. Originally, he just wanted to He wanted to use Sun Jian's suspicious and actionable character to try to drive a wedge between the two, but now he was trying to conquer him.

In this case, the first step must be to create a rift between Zhou Yu and Sun Jian so that he can have a chance.

"Gong Jin, don't worry. Aren't everyone here one of your own? And it's just two cups of tea. Even if Wentai knew about it, he wouldn't say anything. He is not Cao Cao and is suspicious by nature. "

Zhou Yu's eyes were full of anger. Gu Rubing's move was too cruel. It was tantamount to draining the firepower and fundamentally shaking the friendship between him and Sun Jian.

"What does King Lie mean by this? What do you mean by my own people? We are all under the lord, and I am the governor appointed by the lord. I am all under the lord, and so are they."

"I understand, Gong Jin, the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals. I understand this simple truth."

"Prince Lie, please respect yourself! I treat you with great courtesy because of your status as prince. If the prince does this again, then Gong Jin will leave and let them bring the eldest son back."

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he was about to leave. Gu Rubing smiled and had no intention of retaining Zhou Yu. It was Huang Gai next to Zhou Yu who held Zhou Yu back.

"Great Governor, don't pay attention to his words. The Lord's loyalty can be seen in the sky, earth, mountains and rivers, and the sun and the moon can reflect it. There is no need to prove anything. We will never doubt the Governor because of his words, and the Lord will not be so low-level. If I am suspicious of you because of my alienation tactics, please don’t worry.”

Before Zhou Yu had time to answer, Wei Yan, who was supervising the work at the side, suddenly spoke.

"Hahaha, a confidant is indeed a confidant. These words are so beautiful. Does your lord know that you are so loyal to your chief governor?"

Everyone turned to look at Wei Yan, thinking that you had been wandering around there just now, not checking things at all, but eavesdropping.

After feeling the looks from everyone, Wei Yan smiled softly.

"Hehe, it's okay. You guys are talking about your business. Just treat it like I farted. I'm just talking to my boys. Don't worry about me. You can continue."

After Wei Yan's interference, even the clear water has become muddy. Zhou Yu can no longer stay here. If he continues to stay here, I am afraid that Gu Rubing and Wei Yan will just talk to each other and he will become Jiangdong's traitor.

"You can stay and take the eldest son back. I will go back first."

Zhou Yu patted Huang Gai's shoulder and said softly that he didn't want to stay here any longer. Now he just felt that he had seen one of the great advantages of Gu Rubing and their subordinates, and that was their mouth. poison.

It can be said that their verbal skills are even better than their fighting abilities. He has learned their combat abilities before, and today he was lucky enough to learn their verbal skills, which also impressed Zhou Yu.

Huang Gai looked at Zhou Yu, a little worried.

"Grand Governor, there is no need to act like this just because of their few words. If you leave now, you will be suspected of avoiding people. It is better to continue waiting here and just ignore him."

Zhou Yu's departure stopped, and he didn't know that leaving now would have a huge impact, but he continued to stay here, feeling tight in his chest and short of breath, as if there was a puff of air hitting his forehead.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yu shook his head firmly.

"My lord knows my heart. I left here not because I was afraid of telling the truth, but because their arrogance was really intolerable to me. You must bring the eldest son back safely. I will wait for you in the north of Jiangxia County. "

After saying that, Zhou Yu left, leaving only Huang Gai and Cheng Pu waiting with two hundred chariots to pick up Sun Ce.

Wei Yan looked to see if there was any excitement, and then motioned to his subordinates to stop checking over and over again.

"My lord, that old boy was shoddy. Most of them were rags. He asked me to throw them back and replace them with good ones. Five thousand first-class war horses, five thousand fine iron armors, and two thousand long spears. It’s all here.”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wen Zhang."

"No, it's not hard at all. Even if I do this kind of work every day, it won't be hard at all."

Wei Yan smiled happily, Gu Rubing joked with a smile. "Okay, Chief Wen, go and capture Sun Ce once a day. Every time you capture him, you will get so much loot."

"That won't work. Sun Ce's little brat is a bit fierce. He was guarding Changsha at that time, and when Sun Ce was not yet an adult, that brat was so fierce that he beat Han Sheng to the point of running away with his head covered several times."

Wei Yan said seriously, how could Gu Rubing not know Wei Yan's little thoughts.

"Hahaha, Chang Wen, were you beaten by Sun Ce or Han Sheng?"

"Well, don't worry about this little detail. The main thing is that Sun Ce, this little brat, is fierce enough."

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Only Huang Gai and Cheng Pu stood there, unable to blend in and could only stand awkwardly.

After the inventory of items was completed, Zhang Fei threw Sun Ce in his hand to Huang Gai.

"Leave quickly and don't let your grandpa Zhang see you again. If he sees you again, don't blame your grandpa for being merciless and arresting you again to exchange things with Sun Jian."

Several people were scolded by Zhang Fei, but they did not dare to talk back. After settling Sun Ce, the group left without looking back.

Gu Rubing narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the people leaving. Jiangxia County was already a dead city, and Nan County was destined to be a fierce battle with the return of reinforcements from Cao Cao's men.

Jingzhou's current geographical location is located in the middle of the three major forces, bordering on all three. In addition, Jingzhou has a vast territory and rich products, so it is destined to be a piece of fat meat that everyone who sees it wants to take a bite of.

These two wars both started in Jingzhou and eventually spread to the entire southern region. I don’t know when, Cao Cao and Sun Jian only focused on Jingzhou, as if other than Jingzhou, nothing else mattered to them. It's important, just like the devil is stunned, a hole must be carved out here in Jingzhou.

Gu Rubing looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the northern part of Jiangxia County, Zhou Yu was stunned on the spot, looking at Jiangxia County quietly, like a puppet.

Everything Zhou Yu saw was dilapidated. None of this mattered. What mattered was that the green mist shrouded the entire Jiangxia City. The green mist was like a poisonous miasma, making people afraid to approach. Not to mention touching.

Zhou Yu was originally puzzled as to why the west wall was breached so quickly. Moreover, they had all retreated and the army was setting up camp. However, it didn't take long for Sun Jian to bring Huang Zhong into the camp. Now it seems that , everything is because of Miao Moqing and the Gu girl she brought with her.

He is not a sage, and it is not the first time he has used poison in a war, but it was all against the enemy and never against civilians, let alone turning the entire city into a dead city like now. .

He didn't mind the massacre, he just felt that Sun Jian had hidden it from everyone and quietly turned the entire Jiangxia County into a city of poisonous miasma. In the next few years, ten years, or even decades, , no one can live here anymore. What was once a prosperous city has become like this in a blink of an eye, which is a bit bad.

When Zhou Yu was stunned, Huang Gai and Cheng Pu came behind Zhou Yu. They were also extremely shocked after seeing this scene.

Because when they left Jiangxia, it was just a city destroyed by war, but after just a few hours, it became a desolate and poisonous city.

They all stayed where they were, speechless.

Behind them, the soldiers who were under Sun Jian's car were shocked by the scene in front of them. None of them thought that this place would become a poisonous city.

By the time Zhou Yu and the others returned to the camp, it was already an hour later. Before they entered the camp, Gan Ning, who was waiting at the entrance of the camp, came to greet them.

"Captain, if you don't come back, I will kill you and pick you up."

"Xingba, where is my lord?"

"My lord is waiting for you in his big tent. I really can't feel relieved, so I just came out."

Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu and felt that there was something different about Zhou Yu, but he couldn't tell.

"Well, Xingba, you all wait here, I'll go over there."

"What's wrong, Gongjin?"

Gan Ning changed his title from Commander-in-Chief to Gong Jin, which meant that their identities had changed. They were no longer colleagues, but became friends.

"Nothing, I have something to ask the lord."

Zhou Yu shook his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him.

Gan Ning grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and winked at the person next to him.

"Gongjin, no matter what happens, you can tell me first."

Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at Gan Ning. Gan Ning's eyes were firm and he hesitated for a long time. Zhou Yu finally sighed.

"It's nothing, I just went to tell the lord and brought the eldest son back safely."

Zhou Yu's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. There was no one around at this moment. No one wanted to offend Gan Ning, the Jiangdong bully, so after Gan Ning signaled them to stay away, they quickly dispersed.

"Gongjin, is there something that I can't even tell you?"

Gan Ning frowned. The more Zhou Yu behaved like this, the more Gan Ning felt that this matter was no small matter.

Zhou Yu turned around and stared at Gan Ning. The two looked at each other. Finally, Zhou Yu spoke and told Gan Ning everything he saw and heard.

After Gan Ning heard this, he understood why Zhou Yu was like this. After all, Zhou Yu was a Confucian general, and he was very different from a general like Gan Ning who fought with force. Therefore, some people could not accept using poison to kill the people of a city. However, Gan Ning did not think so. In Gan Ning's view, it was possible to Winning is the most important thing. As long as you win, the process is not important.

However, Gan Ning did not say it directly, but comforted Zhou Yu.

What they didn't know was that in a large tent not far away, where the patrolling soldiers were supposed to be sleeping, there was only one person at the moment. That person passed through the gap in the curtain, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked into the distance. Zhou Yu and Gan Ning then stood up and left.

Compared with Jiangxia, which has already calmed down, Wujun and Nanjun have just entered the climax of the war.
