The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 398 Design by Cheng Yu
"It's weird that even the common people know about it. It's weird. Someone must have spread it on purpose." Zhou Yu thought about it carefully, and the people who spread it would not be them, because it would not do them any good. The possibility was Li Yuan, although he didn't know how Li Yuan knew about this, but they had no other enemies in Xiapi except Li Yuan.

"General Zhou, is this really true?" Chen Wu felt anxious when he saw that Zhou Yu was still so calm.

"If I say it's true, what will you do?"

Zhou Tai and Chen Wu glanced at each other. Since Zhou Yu had already said so, it should be true. Chen Wu was filled with indignation, "No, I'm going to talk to the Patriarch!" He stood up after speaking.

"Zi Lie sit down," Zhou Yu grabbed Chen Wu, "It's useless to go to the Patriarch to argue, it's his decision, it's not something you can change with just a few words, if you go, you won't be able to convince him and you'll also make him dissatisfied. "

"I don't care, General Zhou, you are a heroic general of their Sun family, and you have made countless contributions to the Sun family's South and North Wars. To put it bluntly, if there is no you, what is Sun Quan? We share the same hatred, but he only cares about fighting for power and protecting his own interests, it really makes me feel cold, how can I be convinced if I don't look for him!" Chen Wu threw Zhou Yu's arm away, very angry.

"Zi Lie don't go, listen to General Zhou." Zhou Tai pressed hard, pushing Chen Wu back abruptly.

"You Ping actually thinks the same way about you."

"General Zhou is right. If it is an order from the Patriarch, how can we easily change it? Even if we find him, we will only make him dissatisfied."

"Could it be that we can only swallow our anger?" Chen Wu said unconvinced.

"Don't worry, General Zhou has his own way to deal with it," Zhou Tai looked at Zhou Yu, "General Zhou, am I right?"

"No..." Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, "The head of the family no longer trusts me. This is something I cannot change. Now I can only keep silent and let him take back all his power."

Zhou Tai didn't expect that even the resourceful Zhou Yu couldn't do anything about it, but what he said was true, after all, the opponent was not an enemy, but the head of the family, which Zhou Yu might not be good at.

Days passed, and the conflict between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan became more and more serious. Facing the aggressive Sun Quan, Zhou Yu retreated step by step, and resolutely refused to confront Sun Quan head-on. Although many generals felt that Zhou Yu was not worth it, this was not something they could change. of.

Since Li Yuan conquered Jiangdong, Cheng Yu has been in Wu County, firstly to guard against Shanyue, and secondly to prevent the Jiangdong gentry from rebelling. All gentry are xenophobic. Li Yuan will definitely not get the support of Jiangdong gentry at the beginning as an outsider. , so Cheng Yu needs to stay to sort out the relationship. The third is to develop Wu County. Compared with other places, Wu County is still prosperous, but it is far behind Xuzhou, Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Not to mention Xiapi, even if There is still a long way to go to reach the level of Runan.

Before Li Yuan left, he left a task for Cheng Yu, which was to persuade Lu Meng to surrender. These days, he has been following Lu Meng's movements. Sun's family moved to Xiapi, but Lu Meng did not follow him. Because Lu Meng's official position is not high, he treated Sun The family does not have much loyalty, so the possibility of letting it work is still very high.

Lu Meng stayed in Wu County and did not go anywhere else. Cheng Yu decided to persuade Lu Meng today. Of course, he would not explain directly, but made a small plan.

"Cheng Taishou, the one in white clothes in front is Lu Meng." A soldier pointed to the person in front with his finger.

Cheng Yu nodded, and said, "All of you, go get ready and play by ear."

"Yes!" Several soldiers led the way and immediately hid themselves in the crowd.

Cheng Yu has been following Lu Meng all the time, and it is Si time, the time when the streets are the most crowded, and he hides himself well among the crowd.

Lu Meng came to a small shop on the side of the street, bought a few steamed buns, and left. A grown man would definitely not be full after eating a few steamed buns, but at this time Lu Meng didn’t have much money on him, so he could only eat steamed buns. In fact, there were steamed buns to eat. It's not bad, some people can't even afford steamed buns.

Cheng Yu had a burden hanging on his body, and when he saw Lu Meng bought the steamed buns, he immediately stepped up and walked in front of Lu Meng, and walked beside Lu Meng as if nothing had happened. He didn't notice Cheng Yu's intention.

After Cheng Yu walked past Lu Meng, his speed slowed down a little. At this moment, a masked thief suddenly rushed out from the side, and this person rushed towards Cheng Yu.

Unprepared, Cheng Yu was knocked to the ground by the thief. He was about to stand up, but the thief ran over and kicked him down, and then snatched the bundle.Seeing this scene, Lu Meng chased after him without saying a word.

"The daring thief dares to grab things in broad daylight, don't run!" Lu Meng shouted while chasing after him. He was agile and much faster than the thief. The steamed bun in his hand fell on the ground while running so fast. On the ground, but he didn't even look at it, and concentrated on chasing the thief.

The thief looked back and saw that Lu Meng was about to catch up. He quickly stretched out his hand and waved it backwards, only to see a piece of white powder flying towards Lu Meng.

"Oops, lime powder!" Lu Meng was taken aback, and quickly covered his eyes with his arms.Lime powder will burn when it meets water. Once lime powder gets into the eyes, it is likely to cause blindness, so he covered his eyes with his hands.

Lu Meng took a few steps back, then wiped his eyes with his sleeves to make sure there was no pain in the eyes before slowly opening them. When he opened his eyes, he found that the thief had disappeared, and he wanted to chase him impatiently.

"This good man is very grateful to you. You don't have to chase after him. What the thief robbed was just some clothes, which are worthless. I see lime powder on your face. If you don't clean it up quickly, it may affect your eyes." Cheng Yu ran up from behind and grabbed Lu Meng, saying that the "thief" was actually a soldier arranged by him, that's why he didn't let Lu Meng continue chasing him.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem." Lu Meng closed his eyes, wiped his cheeks with his sleeves, and then went back to pick up the two steamed buns that fell on the ground. The steamed buns were covered with dust and were very dirty, but Lu Meng didn't mind at all. , Open your mouth and eat.

"Man, why do you want to eat this steamed bun already dirty?" Cheng Yu came over and asked.

"Hahahaha, it's just a little dirty, it doesn't matter, it's good to have something to eat these days." Lu Meng laughed and continued to eat the steamed buns in his hand.

Cheng Yu liked it very much when he saw this, and he said: "My man, although you didn't help me get back my burden, I am very grateful for your help when you saw injustice. Why don't you sit at my house and I will arrange a table to wait for you." Wine and vegetables, how about drinking and having fun with me?"

"Okay, then I, Lu Meng, thank you sir." Lu Meng was very happy to hear that Cheng Yu invited him to dinner.
