Here comes.

Before, Guan Ping and Xu Sheng, Lu Yi and others talked about famous generals in Jiangdong. Xu Sheng lamented that Sun Ce and Taishi Ci were all famous generals back then, but they were all dead. Now, Zhou Yu himself can be called famous generals in Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu is majestic, open-minded, and has both civil and military skills. After being with him for a long time, he is like drinking fine wine and becomes intoxicated without realizing it. Xu Sheng is very happy to do things under Zhou Yu's hands.

Now Zhou Yu has issued an invitation to Guan Ping, hoping that Guan Ping can join him in the battle.

But before Guan Ping could respond, Cheng Pu had already walked to Guan Ping two or three steps, grabbed Guan Ping's arm, and said with a smile:

"Don't go, don't go - I heard Bo Yan say that you killed Jiao Chu, you are so capable. If you can look down on the old man, just follow me to fight. We don't know the elders. If you can fight, I will listen to you!"

Cheng Pu is from Youbeiping. He heard Xu Sheng say that Guan Ping valued local feelings, so he deliberately used a northern accent to attract him.

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and thought to himself, who is not a northerner?

He smiled calmly: "Aping is very skilled in martial arts and only lacks the training in the army. You are better off in Wen Xiang's army than to be in Wen Xiang's army first..."

"Hey, how did you say?" Cheng Pu pulled Guan Ping and shook him again, "No, I must be under my command - A Ping has such great achievements. I believe that he will be the General of the Central Army and lead the army alone in the future. Well, if you don't come, you will look down on me, this old bone!"

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were in stalemate. At first, they just discussed Guan Ping to play a greater role, but later the two became more and more angry, and they actually started to tear each other down. Cheng Pu's face turned red when Zhou Yu said, and he clenched his fists and rushed forward, looking like he was about to fight Zhou Yu.

Guan Ping originally wanted to go up and pull up the fight, but when he saw Lu Yi on the opposite side, he slowly shook his head without any trace, and quickly forced himself to sit down.

He remembered the cunning look in Zhuge Liang's eyes just now, and his mind turned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

Yes, even if Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu competed with each other for interests, they would not lose their composure in front of Sun Quan.

In this battle, the soldiers of the Eastern Wu sacred country were handed over to the commander of the two. The two had to show a disharmonious atmosphere to make people feel at ease. Moreover, everyone was fighting, but Sun Quan did not mean to stop him immediately. He smiled calmly and did not speak. Only when the two were about to fight, they raised their glasses and let them sit down with a smile.

Guan Ping remembered that when Lu Yishu attacked Huang Zu, Gan Ning and Zhang Zhao had a fierce quarrel. Sun Quan smiled and said with peace. After that, Gan Ning was grateful and tried his best in the battle with Huang Zu.

Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu have a very high status in Sun Quan's army. They probably have figured out these routines in private. They used to have some small conflicts, but now they just took advantage of the situation before sending troops to make a big argument.

Is this... checks and balances?

Perhaps it was Jiangdong's inherent routine, but Guan Ping was still a little disappointed.

He remembered that his good brother Lu Yi particularly respected Sun Quan and was willing to be loyal to Sun Quan. Guan Ping did not doubt Lu Yi's ability, but...

Alas, you can't blame him, he really wants to be ambitious.

Sun Quan could probably guess that Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu's performance mostly consisted of the performance, but he especially enjoyed the feeling of mastering everything at the top, so he smiled more gently and brilliantly.

After comforting his two confidants and expressing their trust in them, Sun Quan faced Guan Ping and smiled:

"I don't know what the Tan thought?"

Guan Ping pondered for a moment and saluted respectfully:

"General, I want to... go to Boyan's command."

"oh?"

This surprised Sun Quan a little.

Previously, Guan Ping gave all the credit to Lu Yi, which made Lu Yi's reputation soar, and even overshadowed his uncle Lu Ji, and became the most prominent star of the Lu family in Jiangdong. After looking at the situation of the small and medium-sized clans in Jingzhou after surrender, he felt that it was better to fight first and see the key conditions, at least than to directly vote for the past and be despised by others.

Driven by this mentality, they began to support Lu Yi, and Sun Quan also followed the situation and directly appointed the young Lu Yi as the General of the Central Army, with his status as equal to Cheng Pu.

But this just seems to be equal. Lu Yi's current power is far less than Cheng Pu, who has a deep foundation in the army. He did not take the lead in this battle. Guan Ping followed him, afraid that he would not have any chance to make contributions.

The most important thing is that Guan Ping and Lu Gong had a good relationship before, and the two led the army, which was not in line with Sun Quan's idea of ​​checks and balances.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Quan smiled and said:

"Well. I wanted to let Tanzhi, but Bo Yan practiced it well among General Su. Since that's the case... let's go with Gu, first to meet Liu Envoy Liu, and then attack Xiangyang to restrain Cao's thieves?"

Jiangling, a tall and strong old man in coarse linen, lowered his head and wandered around the streets and alleys of Jiangling like a walking corpse.

He hadn't returned to Jiangling for a long time. He remembered that this was the most prosperous place in Jingzhou. Even in winter, the city was always lively. Merchants around him gathered here, and countless goods from north to south were delivered to ordinary people through the hands of merchants.

When the old man thinks of the strong fireworks in his memory, he always smiles knowingly.

But now when I walk on the street, I see only a bleak feeling around me.

There are only military ships by the river, and there are only a handful of caravans. The gates of every household in the city are closed. In the past, the clean streets were filled with beggars selling their children with straw signs, and countless bodies wrapped in straw mats and no sound.

The old man opened his wide palm and carried a lucky passerby like a chick. He asked slowly in a hoarse voice:

"how so?"

The passerby shivered in fear and said in a trembling voice:

"Small, I don't know..."

The old man yelled, murmured and let the man go, and continued to move forward slowly. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a woman's scream.

The gate of a private house was wide open, and several soldiers laughed and pulled a woman out of the room quickly. The woman kept struggling, screaming and desperately spreading her hands to ask for help from the few passers-by around.

Everyone on the roadside looked around and avoided it, but the soldiers patrolling the street did not. They also laughed and walked forward, and pinched the woman's face:

"What are you trying to steal her?"

"Hey, it's good to have it. If we don't take action, we won't be able to grab it!"

The old man looked at the scene in front of him with a little confused, unable to believe that this was the peaceful and peaceful Jiangling.

He heard that Cao Cao went south and strictly restricted military discipline, and the old friends in Jingzhou were promoted. At least such evil things that destroyed people's hearts should not occur in Jiangling City.

But it did happen, and it did appear in front of him. The old man sneered and put his hand around his waist.

He hung a ring-headed knife around his waist. This knife followed him for many years. Although there was a gap, the old man was very confident.

As long as he takes action, none of these young people will be able to leave alive.

But he put his hand on the hilt of the knife, but a hand came to him, firmly holding the back of his hand.

"Hansheng."

The man whispered:

"Hone, bear with it."

The old man glanced at the person who came and saw that the person was Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family, and couldn't help but sneer:

"Didn't you say that if Cao Cao surrendered, he would follow the laws of heaven? Is it so smooth?"

Cai Mao looked at the old man's evil eyes and swallowed in pain:

"I, this is not the case. The Prime Minister has been restraining military discipline since he went south and has not violated it. However, Guan Ping has caused troubles many times recently and has provoked the fight between the northern and southern armies. The Northern Army has been resentful for a long time, so he must make some reassurance. The Prime Minister invites you to Jiangling, and it will be used with great importance. Don't cause trouble at will!

Those Northern Army are already in a bad mood with us, if you do it..."

The old man shouted, and a trace of splendor flashed in his turbid eyes:

"I am a barbarian."

"ah?"

"You scholars are looking forward to it. I am just a barbarian martial artist. I only know that someone robs my fellow villagers, so I can't ignore it." The old man held his knife in his hand and looked at Cai Mao up and down with contempt, "Looking at your timid appearance, you really embarrass us Jingzhou people."

Cai Mao's heart seemed to be squeezed hard by a big hand.

The cold wind like a knife blew on his face, making Cai Mao's nose slightly sour, and the pain on his face became clearer and clearer.

"Hansheng!"

"What else do you want to do!"

"I..." The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and suddenly remembered the years when he was a teenager who was fighting with this tall and strong brother to fight for his sword and avenge his revenge.

Gradually, a cold light slowly lit up in his eyes.

"You...you have the ability to kill people, so you kill them all. With me here, no one dares to do anything to you."

The old man laughed, and the sound was like a tiger falling from the mountain, which made everyone around him subconsciously cover his ears and look at the white-haired old man in horror.
