Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Sun Yu rode his horse on the way back to Danyang, traveling lightly.The capital city was thrown farther and farther behind, until it became a dark shadow faintly visible in the hazy smoke.
He originally wanted to bid farewell to Zhou Yu, even if he just said goodbye.But at this moment, he was a little uncertain about himself.
It is a common thing to be separated from Gongjin for many years.But this time it was extremely painful.
After a person dies once, he has a much clearer understanding of the impermanence of life, and he no longer has the mood of being a teenager who doesn't know the worries. Now, he cherishes every moment he can spend with that person.
He dared not see him.He was afraid of seeing him, so he couldn't leave.
Zhou Yu waited in the middle hall from noon to dusk.
The two teacups on the table were still standing alone, and the tea in the pot was cold.
Stretching out his hand to touch the cool teapot, Zhou Yu got up, ready to go back to the inner room.
He suddenly wanted to smile wryly.
For half his life, he seemed to be always waiting, and that person was also used to keeping promises.
While turning around, a soldier guarding the gate suddenly rushed in.
"Central Guardian Army, General Suiyuan has a letter."
Zhou Yu immediately went up, took it, and unfolded it, but found that it was only a piece of silk about a foot long, with a line of writing written on it.
"Seeing words is like meeting. Cut off Huang Zu's head for me. Gong Jin, the future will be long."
There are no superfluous words, but Zhou Yu understood it after a glance.That person must have been out of the city for half a day and returned to Danyang.These few words are very concise and neat.
"How did this silk... get here?" Zhou Yu turned his gaze away from the thing in his hand and landed on the soldier.
After all, he raised the silk in his hand.
The soldier immediately clasped his fists and answered.
"Back to the Central Guard Army, it was sent by the boy in the guest house, and it must be from General Suiyuan's branch before he left."
"Understood, you go down."
There was not even a farewell... Zhou Yu sat on the wooden chair in the middle hall, looking at the flower hall where he was alone, suddenly felt a little empty.
If so, don't feel jealous on the day when Huang Zu was defeated.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, folded the square silk handkerchief and hid it in his arms, strode out the door, and gave instructions to the waiter outside.
"Prepare the horse."
When Sun Quan saw someone coming in to report, he had already guessed who it was.
Thinking that it was him who came to see him, he couldn't help feeling even more depressed.
He flicked the sleeves of his robe casually, just lay on the bed, squinted at the servant who informed him, and said softly——
"Gu has been feeling cold recently, why don't you know?"
The servant only rolled his eyes slightly, and then he understood the master's intention.
Therefore, Zhou Yu was asked to go home without even tying his horse.
After Sun Ce's death, he had been separated from Sun Quan's chief minister for several years, and Sun Quan's temperament and character had already been figured out eight points.
"Tell the lord to take care of your health, and Zhou Yu will leave."
The servant who reported the letter saw the visitor striding away on horseback, but he had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Sun Quan lay on the couch with his eyes closed, listening to the rapid sound of horseshoes outside the window, as if stepping on his heart.
Cut off Huang Zu's head for me...
Thinking of the words on that silk, I couldn't help laughing at myself.
Brother, Gong Jin went out to fight only for you, but where does he put me, the lord?
My thoughts can't help but fly back to an afternoon more than a year ago.
In the secret room in Marquis Wu's mansion, he met someone he could never have imagined.
Still not forgetting the joy of that day, hugging him tightly, reluctant to let go no matter what.Born in troubled times, unable to control himself, no one knows better than him the joy of losing a loved one since childhood, and the joy of regaining it.
The man stroked his back lightly as he did when he was a child, and chuckled——
"Zhongmou has grown up. He can support the world of the Sun family." He paused for a moment, pulled a little distance away, stared into his own eyes, and said in a deep voice——
"Brother, I won't embarrass you."
I can't remember how I felt at that time, nine points grateful and one point guilty.
elder brother.When I asked you that sentence at the beginning, you didn't understand what I meant.Which one is more important, Gongjin and Sun Jiajiangshan, and which one is more important.
"If the decision is between the two battles, you are not as good as me; if you raise the people in Jiangdong to protect Jiangdong, I am not as good as you."
The words are still in my ears.
But with you deciding between the two battles, why do you need me to protect Jiangdong?
Some things don't happen if you don't want them to.
Brother, you have made it difficult for me.
Slowly opened his eyes, but let out a long sigh.
The river defense map still held in the hand, the cinnabar marker pen is vivid, and the strategic deployment is impeccable.
With the Jiangdong Shuangbi, it is possible to expand the territory and travel all over the rivers and rivers, so as to protect Sun Wu from any danger.
But what do I do for it?
I wanted to refuse your request that day, but I was really reluctant.
What kind of life Gongjin has lived in the past few years, after all, he can see it in his eyes.
Being a king and a minister, there is always a lot of helplessness.
Slowly put down the blueprint in his hand, and lay back on the bed again.
Brother, don't go too far.
Otherwise, I can only live with you.
The sound of horseshoes outside the window has gradually faded away, but he, the lord who said he was sick and disappeared, couldn't calm down no matter what.
It's half a load in a flash.
There are many affairs in Danyang, and Sun Yu, who has never managed local affairs, feels a little powerless.
I never missed that old man Zhang Zhao before.
Facing the mountain of bamboo slips, he actually thought of him.
But Sun Quan's so-called "waiting for war" made him wait for so long.
What was even more unexpected was that on the day of receiving the edict, Cao Cao's war watches were already floating all over the Yangtze River.
"I want to hunt with the general in Jiangdong."
Good courage, good tone, but I don't know if there will be back and forth.
When Sun Yu threw the drenched battle watch heavily on the table, he had only one thought.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu's letters kept coming, and swan geese sent them frequently.
"It's like meeting the general. Since Huang Zu surrendered his head, Deng Long has also returned to our army. He often mentions the general, saying that he misses the general very much."
All are wars, all are official affairs.
Replying to the letter, Sun Yu only said one sentence.
"But I don't know if Gongjin thinks the same way?"
There is no reply for a long time.
Until Sun Quan's edict has arrived.
When Sun Yu ordered the troops and horses, and the army set out, and wanted to "hunt in Jiangdong" with Cao Mengde, unexpectedly, he received another letter from Zhou Yu.
Sun Yu Zhanxin is studying, but there are only four characters.
These four words, like thunder in spring and rain in summer, are straightforward and pour into my heart.
Sun Yu looked at the letter and smiled slightly.
Gongjin, wait for me.
The four characters on the back of the paper are strong, but I don't know what kind of emotions are full of them.
"Sweep the couch to welcome you."
