Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 616: Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's First Battle

Zhao Yun also saw Zhou Yu.

After clasping his fists towards Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun said nothing more.

The ships on both sides stopped.

Gan Ning held the oar in his hand, looked at Zhou Yu with a smile and said, "Zhou Lang, this is the first time you have approached me on your own initiative after so many times we have met."

Over the past six months, every time Gan Ning and Zhou Yu met, Gan Ning would take the initiative to approach Zhou Yu.

Gan Ning was thinking of launching a sudden attack with an arrow and killing Zhou Yu.

However, the soldiers around Zhou Yu watched him closely and did not give him any chance.

Zhou Yu was also cautious. Even when he was attacked by surprise, he never fought back, let alone took the initiative to get closer.

This first time of actively approaching made Gan Ning eager to try.

Zhou Yu's eyes did not fall on Gan Ning.

Standing behind several personal soldiers, Zhou Yu's gaze shifted from Zhao Yun to Zhuge Liang.

The two looked at each other.

Zhuge Liang held the feather fan, bowed to Zhou Yu and said, "I am Zhuge Liang, a native of Langya, nice to meet you, Mr. Zhou."

Someone from Langya?

Zhuge Liang?
Zhou Yu frowned slightly.

He hasn't heard of it.

However, seeing that Zhuge Liang looked so heroic and could be with Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu nodded.

Looking at Zhao Yun again, Zhou Yu asked, "My hero, this is the third time we have met."

"The first two times, you were with your lord."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I wonder where you come from? What's your name?"

Zhao Yun did not hide anything and said calmly: "Zhao Yun, the governor of Yangzhou, is from Changshan."

Zhou Yu's expression changed several times.

Is he Zhao Yun, the governor of Yangzhou?

Zhang Sui, that guy, has a lot of brave generals under his command.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.

Soon, he had an idea.

Zhou Yu forced a smile at Zhao Yun and said, "So you are the governor of Yangzhou!"

"Although I didn't know your name before, I already knew your deeds."

"You once followed Gongsun Zan and joined the White Horse Volunteers, where you were extremely brave and invincible."

"You even defeated Lu Bu in Xia Pi."

"Defeat our Jiangdong army at Xiakou."

"One person killed our general Song Qian."

"Such a great achievement, if I were a warrior from Jiangdong, I would definitely be highly respected."

"Unfortunately, you went to Hebei."

"Hebei's new leader Zhang Sui is brave, but his foundation is insufficient."

"In order to stabilize Hebei, he can only treat you, the Yangzhou governor, as a marginal figure."

"The people I truly love are all in Yecheng."

Zhou Yu sighed and said with a look of regret: "Yu, I feel so sorry for the governor of Yangzhou."

"Recently, Jiangdong has also been in trouble."

"However, my new master Jiangdong pays great attention to talents."

"He has been looking for talents everywhere recently and promoting them."

"If a talent like Yangzhou Mu can join Jiangdong, he will definitely be a loyal minister, have great achievements, and bring blessings to future generations."

Gan Ning looked at Zhou Yu jokingly.

Zhou Yu did investigate Zhao Yun.

However, the investigation was not that thorough.

When the lord was in Lujiang before, he had seen the relationship between him and Zhao Yun.

How could that be achieved by sowing discord?

Gan Ning was about to retort.

Zhuge Liang, who was standing beside him, gently waved his feather fan and said with a smile, "Zhou Lang, I feel sorry for you, too."

Zhou Yu was about to continue to alienate Zhao Yun. At this moment, hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuge, what advice do you have?"

Zhuge Liang said, "I heard that Zhou Lang and Sun Ce, the former ruler of Jiangdong, were close friends since childhood and were as close as brothers."

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "The brotherhood between Bofu and I is indeed like this."

Zhuge Liang stopped waving the feather fan in his hand and said, "Brothers are as close as brothers, but they are not as good as real brothers."

"The second generation of Zhou Lang is a descendant of a top-notch aristocratic family."

"If Sun Ce really regarded you as a brother, he should let you, Zhou Lang, replace him as the ruler of Jiangdong at this time when Jiangdong is in turmoil."

"First of all, Zhou Lang, your background is far superior to that of the brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan."

"The brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan were born in humble families. Otherwise, the Jiangdong noble families would not have repeatedly opposed Sun Ce during his lifetime, and Sun Ce would not have been so violent."

"You are the successor to the throne of Jiangdong. Who among the aristocratic families in Jiangdong would not accept this?"

"Secondly, your intelligence far exceeds that of others."

"Third, you persuaded the Zhou family to abandon their Shu County business and join Sun Ce. You can say that half of Jiangdong's foundation belongs to you."

"Sun Ce is dead, and the title of Lord of Jiangdong has been passed to you. You have the full legal and moral authority."

"Fourth, you are the Central Guard General and hold the military power. For the stability of Jiangdong, it is your turn to take over."

"But now, you come to Chaisang."

"It looks like training for the navy, but it is actually a disguised form of devaluation."

"You treat Sun Ce as a brother, but Sun Ce treats you as a tool, fearing that you will seize power."

"If I were you, and suffered such a great humiliation, I would either surrender to a wise leader or seek justice at the cost of the lives of the Sun family members."

"But you settled the matter with them just because of Sun Quan's words."

"You seem to respect Sun Ce's feelings, but you are actually a coward."

"Look back now. Perhaps the people around you are spies arranged by Sun Ce and Sun Quan."

"If you do something wrong one day, they will take your head."

"It's pathetic."

Zhou Yu's face turned pale, and he squinted his eyes and stared at Zhuge Liang, saying: "A real man should accomplish great deeds, not just speak sweet words!"

"I, Zhou Yu, have my own ideas. I am not someone who can be changed by your few words."

"I have always admired Zhang Sui as a young hero, comparable to Bo Fu."

"I didn't expect him to be such a short-sighted person and recruit a villain like you who is good at talking."

"Get out of here! You are not qualified to talk to me!"

Zhuge Liang continued to fan himself and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zhou Lang."

"It's like a beauty. She is beautiful, so no matter how others slander her beauty, she just laughs it off."

"In the face of facts, all rumors are nothing but jealousy."

"Only ugly people will get furious when others tell them they are ugly."

"The reason is because it hurts her."

"Do you think you are the beauty or the ugly one?"

"If I were you, I would definitely stay away from the Sun family and look for the true master."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and his lips trembled slightly.

Even though he didn't want to admit it.

However, he had also thought about what Zhuge Liang said, and even tossed and turned every night, unable to sleep.

But he finally compromised.

As Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Quan came to ask for help.

As a childhood friend of Sun Ce, he really couldn't bear to compete with Sun Quan, which would make the already poor situation of Jiangdong even more embarrassing, and thus disregard the empire that Sun Ce had fought for with his life.

However, he never expected that the resolution he had made with great difficulty would be cruelly uncovered, revealing bloody wounds.

Zhou Yu looked at Zhuge Liang coldly, and shouted at his soldiers to leave, saying: "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? I, Zhou Yu, do not need someone who can only talk to teach me how to do things!"

Zhuge Liang was not angry. He pointed at Zhou Yu with his feather fan and said, "Zhou Lang, Sun Quan's army of 100,000 is going to attack Guangling, and it is very likely that they will capture Guangling. If I were you, I would attack Ruxu Port or Wankou Port, and my achievements would be no less than Sun Quan's."

"Otherwise, once Sun Quan achieves great feats, your Zhou family's achievements will become even more insignificant."

"From now on, you will really be a tool."

"Your Zhou family's assets are like trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket - all in vain!"

"Or, quickly surrender to my lord and I will ensure you a lifetime of wealth and glory!"
