The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 465
"As General Zhou said, Sun Quan was imprisoned in a big prison. Although we didn't intentionally abuse him, he has been suffering from guilt, so he has lost a lot of weight, and his mental state is also good and bad. Sometimes he talks nonsense. Nonsense, always saying I'm sorry brother Gongjin, people don't know if he is really crazy or pretending to be stupid." Lu Meng's words are half true, half false, it is true that Sun Quan is in a bad state of mind, but it is true that he is crazy. False, he knew that he couldn't tell Zhou Yu only lies, he had to be half true, otherwise Zhou Yu's resourcefulness would definitely see through his lies.

Zhou Yu's heart trembled a little when he heard the words, he couldn't believe it, he asked: "Sun Quan really said such a thing, what position do you hold under Li Yuan's command, and why do you know such things?"

Lu Meng was also a little surprised. Zhou Yu was really difficult to deal with, and he couldn't be fooled by a few words. Fortunately, he had thought about how to deal with Zhou Yu's questions and answers along the way, and replied: "I am just a school lieutenant under General Li, and my official position is not high. , but the brother I know has someone who is responsible for taking care of Sun Quan, and he told me about these things."

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, feeling that what Lu Meng said did not deceive him. Lu Meng is not well-known, so his position should not be high, and he looks strong and strong. He can tell at a glance that he is a general rather than a civil servant, so it is more reasonable to be a captain. , but he did not believe Lu Meng so easily, and said: "Although what you said is reasonable, why did you tell me these things? As I expected, it should be Li Yuan who taught you to say so."

"General Zhou thinks too much. My lord just asked me to deliver the letter, and didn't teach me to say these words. The reason why I said this is because I don't want to see Sun Quan like this again." Lu Meng suddenly showed sadness while talking, Zhou Yu was a little baffled by his performance.

"Why don't you want to see Sun Quan like this..." Zhou Yu looked at Lu Meng in surprise.

"I am dissatisfied with General Zhou. In fact, I used to serve Sun Ce, but my position was not high. I was only a centurion. However, General Sun is a hero who is righteous and heroic. I admire him, so I don't want to see Sun Quan. It has fallen to the point it is now." Lu Meng's eyes turned red as he spoke, his acting skills are really amazing, Li Yuan will definitely award him an "Oscar for Best Actor" after seeing it...

Zhou Yu suddenly realized: "No wonder I always think you look familiar. It turns out that you used to work for Bofu. No wonder you have a Jiangnan accent, but why did you work for Li Yuan?" He was no longer so cold, and his tone softened a little. After all, he was a brother who had been through life and death together, so he was different from ordinary people.

Lu Meng sighed and explained: "Oh, it is God's will. Since General Sun was defeated and Li Yuan released us Jiangdong soldiers, I have also changed from a general to a commoner. When I was in Wu County, I helped Wu County Cheng Yu, the prefect, did a favor. Seeing my high martial arts skills, he recommended me to Xiapi. Although General Li was an enemy, he is indeed a man who knows how to employ people. In addition, prefect Cheng recommended me, so he sealed me When I was a lieutenant, it was not that I was ungrateful, but that I was already penniless at the time, and I could only serve General Li in order to make a living."

Lu Meng's words are reasonable, and Zhou Yu also knows that it is not easy to live in this era. Many generals can only go to battle and kill the enemy. The official position is not high, so he can understand that Lu Meng worked for Li Yuan. As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant. Lu Meng was only a centurion under Sun Ce, but after being appointed by Li Yuan, he became a captain. Big improvement.

Zhou Yu glanced at the letter in his hand again, and asked: "This letter is not in Zhongmou's handwriting, and he didn't write it himself. If Li Yuan asked Zhongmou to write it himself, I would be more impressed. Why didn't he do it?" Zhou Yu knew After Sun Quan felt guilty, he no longer hated Sun Quan so much, and even changed the name of Sun Quan.

"I've also heard about this. General Li originally planned to ask Sun Quan to write it himself, but Sun Quan knew that if he did this, General Zhou would definitely return to Xiapi, and it would be a near-death situation after he returned, so he would rather die than let General Zhou come back. If not, General Li has to find someone else to write this letter." Lu Meng replied.

"Alas, Zhongmou knew why it was so in the first place." Zhou Yu didn't intend to save Sun Quan at first, and concentrated on serving Cao Cao. After Cao Cao pacified Hebei, he suggested that Cao Cao send troops to attack Li Yuan to avenge Sun Ce. But now that Sun Quan has repented, he feels compassion He couldn't bear to watch Sun Quan suffer.

"General Zhou, I also heard that you and Sun Quan were at odds, but now Sun Quan has repented and lives with guilt all day long. I'm afraid it will be worse than death in the long run. Maybe he will see you and say something. An apology will make him feel better." Lu Meng wanted to persuade Zhou Yu to return to Xiapi.

In fact, Zhou Yu has always been unable to let go of the Sun family, which is why he is so hesitant now, but it is not that he can leave now, let alone whether Lu Su and others will agree with him to return to Xiapi, even if Lu Su, Zhou Tai and others Agreed, there are two very important issues to be resolved at the moment.

The first one is how to leave Yecheng without anyone noticing, he has become an indispensable general around Cao Cao, Cao Cao will never let him go easily; the second is even if he can leave without anyone noticing Yecheng, but the children of the Sun family who were in Chenliu could not leave with him. If Cao Cao found out that he had left Yecheng, he would definitely not let Wu Guotai and others go. It is very difficult to solve these two problems.

Seeing the troubled look on Zhou Yu's face, Lu Meng knew that Zhou Yu was hesitating, but he couldn't say anything more, otherwise Zhou Yu's suspicion would be aroused, so he could only wait quietly.After a long time, Zhou Yu said: "Lu Meng, you stay at my house first, and I will give you an answer after I think it over."

"Yes, General Zhou, I have one more thing to tell you, that is, please don't reveal this incident to Cao Cao." Lu Meng didn't want Cao Cao to join in, otherwise Zhou Yu would definitely not be able to leave.

"You can rest assured that I, Zhou Yu, will let Cao Cao know that I am not so stupid." With Zhou Yu's intelligence, he knew what to do without Lu Meng's reminder.Lu Meng was taken to the guest room to rest by his servants, while Zhou Yu was thinking alone.

In the evening, Zhou Yu secretly sent someone to inform Lu Su that Zhou Tai and Chen Wu were coming, and that Xu Sheng was on duty tonight, so he could not come to discuss matters.

After Zhou Yu waited for less than half an hour, Lu Su and others came to his house one after another, and Zhou Yu took them to the study to discuss.Seeing Zhou Yu being so cautious, Lu Su asked, "Does Gongjin have something important to discuss with us?"
