Chapter 919 Beauty’s Resentment

"good!"

Sun Quan felt a surge of energy in his chest, and suddenly gained confidence. He looked back, picked up the sword that he had put aside, and handed it to Zhou Yu.

"Grand Governor, this is the sword that someone carries with him. It is specially given to the Grand Governor to give orders to the three armies. Anyone who disobeys can be killed!" Sun Quan said solemnly.

"Thank you for the sword, my lord. Jin will do his best to defeat the enemy and defend Jingnan!" Zhou Yu agreed loudly and took the sword from Sun Quan's hand.

Sun Quan was very self-aware. He knew that his ability to command troops was far inferior to that of his elder brother Sun Ce and the governor Zhou Yu, so he simply entrusted the military power to Zhou Yu.

"Lord, I plan to lead the army to Lingling, fight in the field with Liu Pan's army, and defeat the enemy with strategies." Zhou Yu told Sun Quan.

"Yeah." Sun Quan nodded.

"But in this case, Yu will inevitably take away most of the main force, leaving the lord with not many defenders." Zhou Yu said again.

"It doesn't matter! As long as five thousand defenders are left, Linxiang City will be impregnable." Sun Quan waved his hand and said: "My father and eldest brother are both brave and powerful in the world, how can I, Sun Quan, disgrace them?"

Zhou Yu was deeply moved, clasped his fists and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, Jin will definitely defeat Liu Pan as quickly as possible, and then lead his army back to Changsha to support Changsha."

"Gong Jin, don't be anxious. Don't fight Liu Pan head-on. We'll talk about it after we find a fighting opportunity." Sun Quan held Zhou Yu's hand and explained carefully: "The whole army relies on Gong Jin, and there must be no mistakes."

Zhou Yu nodded solemnly: "Lord, don't worry."

At this time, there seemed to be a strange noise behind the screen. Sun Quan couldn't help but frown and shouted: "Who is it?"

"Hehe, second brother, it's me."

I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walking out from behind the screen, with beautiful features and heroic appearance. She was different from the ordinary women waiting for purdah. She was actually wearing a smart outfit, with a sword on her waist, and her slender waist looked like The bow-like body is really charming.

"Shang Xiang? What are you doing here?" Sun Quan frowned and scolded: "How dare you participate in military and state affairs? Why don't you go back quickly?"

"No, I also want to help my second brother kill the enemy!" Sun Shangxiang argued: "My maids all use guns and sticks, and their martial arts skills are not necessarily worse than ordinary soldiers. Why not let me lead the troops into battle to kill the enemy?"

"This is nonsense, get off here!" Sun Quan was furious, and several maids hurriedly pulled Sun Shangxiang down. Sun Shangxiang also shouted that he was doing his best for the country.

"Oh, I made Gong Jin laugh. Shang Xiang is really shameless. A good woman doesn't know about female celebrities. Instead, she dances with swords every day. She doesn't know whether she will be able to marry in the future." Sun Quan sighed.

"It doesn't matter, the young lady is as good as a good wife among women. She is naturally different from ordinary women. She will definitely marry a rare hero in the future." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were sworn friends to Jinlan and were as close as brothers. Zhou Yu was naturally not an outsider and was very familiar with Sun Shangxiang.

"Without further delay, the Commander-in-Chief will go to prepare for the battle and prepare to send troops." Sun Quan said again.

"Well, at the end of the day, we will take stock of the troops, horses, and food, and we will set off for the expedition early tomorrow morning. Please be careful, my lord." Zhou Yu said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Gongjin, my father and elder brother will protect me." Sun Quan said firmly.

Zhou Yu forced a smile.

On that day, Zhou Yu left Sun Quan with five thousand soldiers and horses, as well as veteran generals such as Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, and Huang Gai to assist him, and Lu Su as a staff officer to help him defend the city.

Zhou Yu personally ordered 10,000 troops and led Lu Meng, Tai Shici and other generals to prepare for an expedition to attack Liu Pan.

That night, at Zhou Yu's home.

Incense was swirling in the room, and a young woman could be seen playing the piano. She was beautiful. Although she was wearing a large brocade robe, she could not hide her slim figure. Her pair of slender hands seemed to be made of white jade, and her ten slender fingers were on the strings. It jumps back and forth like a dancing elf. This scene really looks like a painting.

Zheng!

Suddenly, one of the strings broke, and the young woman couldn't help but sigh.

"The third string." A gentle male voice came, and it turned out that the third string on the piano was indeed broken. What an amazing ear.

"Madam, why are you so upset that all the strings of your piano are broken?" Zhou Yu walked over slowly, gently held the young woman's hand, and said softly.

It turns out that the beautiful young woman playing the piano is none other than one of the two most powerful Qiaos in Jiangdong. Da Qiao is married to Sun Ce, the overlord, while Xiao Qiao is married to Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangdong Army.

As the saying goes: If the song is wrong, Zhou Lang will take care of it. Zhou Yu, a generation of military wizards, was not only excellent at commanding troops, but also had high musical literacy. It is said that if someone makes a mistake in playing the piano, Zhou Yu will look at them. Therefore, many Jiangdong women even deliberately play the piano wrong to attract Zhou Yu's attention.

However, this beautiful woman had a look of resentment on her face and said, "Is your husband going to lead the army on another expedition?"

Zhou Yu held Xiao Qiao's hand apologetically and sighed: "These days, I have indeed neglected Madam."

It was better when they were in Jiangdong. Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao often played the piano together and went home every ten days. They and Xiao Qiao were like a perfect couple.

However, since Cao Cao invaded Jiangdong, Zhou Yu has been fighting intensively. After arriving in Jingnan, Zhou Yu did not dare to take any time off. After all, Jingnan's national power was weak and he would be captured by the enemy if he was not careful. Therefore, Zhou Yu has been training troops in Yiyang these days, so naturally Xiao Qiao can only be "relegated to the sidelines".

"Who came here again this time? Liu Biao? Cao Cao?" Xiao Qiao asked.

"No, it's the Xiliang army, Liu Pan and Gao Chong." Zhou Yu replied.

"how many people?"

"Thirty thousand or forty thousand," Zhou Yu said casually.

"Ah, so many?" Xiao Qiao asked worriedly: "Can you win this time?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry. Back then, Brother Bofu and I had only a thousand soldiers, but we wiped out Liu Yao and took control of Jiangdong. Now we still have more than ten thousand soldiers. What are we afraid of?"

"Oh, you, you are always worried about military affairs. You stay up all day and all night. I can't take care of you with the army, so you have to cherish your own body." Xiao Qiao complained.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, I'm still young." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Hey, let's go have some ginseng soup later. The cook has been simmering it all day." Xiao Qiao explained.

"Thank you, madam." Zhou Yu couldn't help but hold Xiao Qiao's hand tightly.

Holding Xiao Qiao in his arms, Zhou Yu couldn't help but look up at the sky. Countless stars in the night sky were shining brightly, and for a moment they seemed to transform into a familiar heroic face.

"Brother Bo Fu, just watch. I will definitely protect the Sun family for you and repel the enemy."

Zhou Yu stared at the sky and murmured to himself.
