Chapter 317 God-given opportunity
In the provincial government, tables were placed on all the flat open spaces, and a wool blanket from the Western Regions was laid behind for guests to sit on the ground. Various delicacies were brought up like flowing water, and there was also a clever servant who was responsible for supplying fine wine. All the products were made of Moling's specialty "Longtan Liquid". After taking Kaifeng mud, the fragrance spread for ten miles.
As soon as the ceremony ended, the lively wedding banquet began. People who knew each other went to toast each other, and those who didn't met were greeting each other, and everyone was smiling and chatting and laughing freely. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the atmosphere became even more lively. People and figures were flying around and drinking, and some generals in the army were in high spirits and started shouting and shouting.
Outside the provincial and ministerial palace, the servants in the mansion also left a large open space, placed long tables, and then placed bamboo mats. All ordinary people who came to congratulate Zhou Yu on their wedding were welcomed here. Naturally, the wine and food were not as delicate as the mansion, but it also opened the eyes of the people. The people were not polite. After taking a seat, they let go of their hands and feet to eat. The food was fragrant and they had all kinds of food. The maids of the provincial and ministerial palace who were standing aside to serve were smiling.
The gifts given by the people were all kinds, including those who carried a whole sheep, some brought a sack of grain, fresh vegetables grown at home, sweat towels embroidered by their own hands, etc. Although they were not very valuable gifts, Kan Ze, who was responsible for registering at the door, responded with a smile and carefully recorded everyone's name, address, number of gift names and other information.
In the new house, Zhou Yu gently took down the red lid that the little fish threw on. A beautiful woman with skin like cream, collar like a squid, teeth like a gourd, and eyebrows appeared in front of him. Her cheeks were dyed red, her earrings were swaying straight. Her hair was soaked ink, and her head was inserted into a phoenix hairpin to fly.
Seeing Zhou Yu staring at him in a daze, Xiao Yu lowered his head shyly. Zhou Yu couldn't control himself, so he hugged Xiao Yu'er in his arms and said softly: "Sister Yu, from today on, we will be husband and wife."
"Yeah~~", Xiaoyuer raised her head slightly, her eyes flowing. At this moment, there was already a cloud of colorful clouds on her face.
"Come on, come on~~", Zhou Yu held Xiaoyu'er's tenderness and pulled her to the desk. Just now, a maid brought "Longtan liquid" and a few plates of exquisite side dishes and placed them on the desk.
"Sister Yu, on such a good day, we have married each other. I have only one wish, not to be born on the same day of the same year, month, but to die on the same day of the same year, month and month!" Zhou Yu picked up the wine cup and said solemnly.
"What are you saying?" Xiao Yuer hurriedly stretched out his jade hand and covered Zhou Yu's mouth. Zhou Yu only felt a warm feeling coming from his lips. He heard Xiao Yuer say in his ear, "Brother Yu, in Xiao Yuer's heart, you cannot die. If you can choose, I am willing to die for you!"
"Sister Yu~~~", Zhou Yu was moved and hugged Xiao Yuer in his arms again. After years of mutual support with Xiao Yuer, he had long regarded Xiao Yuer as his closest person. At this moment, he really wanted to tell Xiao Yuer that if he could choose, I would be willing to die for you.
Zhou Yu was about to speak when he heard the door pounding and a loud bang. He shouted outside the door: "Brother~~Brother! Come out and drink quickly! It's not dark yet, you won't be so anxious to get married, are you?" As soon as he finished speaking, several people laughed in.
"It's this guy Xuan Gao!" Zhou Yu smiled apologetically at Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er smiled slightly, her eyes full of affection, and she replied softly: "Zhou Lang, go, those brothers will never let you go."
Zhou Yu hugged Xiao Yu'er again, and turned around to go out. Xiao Yu'er moved in and changed positions, walked quickly to Zhou Yu, stretched out his hand to smooth his clothes, and whispered with a red face: "Although I'm happy today, I'll drink less. I~~I'll wait for you in the house..."
On April 15, the second year of Xingping, Zhou Yu, the governor of Yangzhou, married Deng Yu in Shu County. On the day of the wedding, there were a lot of guests, and about 200 guests, hundreds of people came to congratulate him. The guests and hosts all enjoyed their whole lives and were drunk.
This is exactly: Zhou Lang was very talented in his early years, and his martial arts were great. If he adjusted his makeup to the dressing table, his thrush was very light and lightly praised. The red whisper was beautiful and beautiful, and he looked at the perfect combination of pearls and pairs, and he occupied all the blessings and wisdom in the world, and the mandarin ducks were cultivated to be proud of the gods.
When Zhou Yu was wedding, Yuan Shu, who was far away in Wancheng, was so angry that he smoked his orifices.
He was planning to become the emperor in great enthusiasm, and had already conquered 50,000 to 60,000 Heishan Army with the help of Zhang Yan, and his strength increased greatly. In order to show his strength to the people of the world, Yuan Shu used some of the Heishan Army and the Southern Xiongnu Yu Fuluo as his help and marched into Chenliu. At that time, Cao *** was having some minor frictions with Yuan Shao at the border, and both sides mobilized heavy troops to put pressure on the other side. Cao *** did not notice Yuan Shu's intention for a moment, and hurriedly negotiated peace with Yuan Shao and returned to fight, but he retreated one after another and lost several counties.
Yuan Shu originally thought this was a great opportunity to expand his territory, but he did not expect that Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, sent Huang Zu to lead the army to Nanyang and cut off Yuan Shu's food route. Yuan Shu's soldiers were in a state of turmoil. Cao *** took the opportunity to attack Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's army collapsed without fighting. Cao *** led his troops to pursue him. In Xiangyi, Ningling defeated Yuan Shu in a row. He solved Yuan Shu's threat to Yanzhou in one fell swoop.
Yuan Shu spent a lot of money and food this time, not only did he not occupy a piece of land, but he lost tens of thousands of people and lost two county towns, which made Yuan Shu feel very painful.
Yuan Shu, in a rage, did not think about seeking revenge on Cao ***, but vented all his anger on Liu Biao. If Liu Jingsheng had not cut off my food route from behind despicableness and shamelessness, how could I have been defeated?
Yuan Shu was about to lead a large army to attack Xiangyang himself, but was blocked by his confidant adviser Yan Xiang.
Yan Xiang offered advice: "Why don't the lord do the trick of driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf?"
"Oh? Eat the tiger and swallow the wolf?" Yuan Shu's little eyes blinked, not understanding the meaning for a while.
Yan Xiang said flatteringly: "Liu Jingsheng is a wolf, Sun Wentai is a tiger. Although Sun Wentai expressed his intention to surrender to his lord, how could this person be the one who has been living under the lord for a long time? If it weren't for the desolation after the war in Yuzhou and if he could not get enough military rations, how could he have surrendered to the lord?"
Yuan Shu suddenly realized it and couldn't help laughing, saying happily: "Yan Zhubu is really a master. He is a good plan to drive tigers and swallow wolves! Then I will sit and watch the tigers and wolf fights, and then I will stab the wolf hard at the critical moment!"
So Yuan Shu personally compiled a letter and sent someone to Yingchuan. After Sun Jian received the letter, he was overjoyed. When the generals heard it, they expressed doubts. Cheng Pu asked: "Lord, this is obviously Yuan Gonglu is using us to beat Liu Biao and using the lives of his brothers to help him grab territory. Don't agree."
Sun Jian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said in a deep voice: "The words of Dejing are reasonable, but I think this is an excellent opportunity given to us by God!"
I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
