    Qiao Mansion is located in the west of Yuzhang City.  There is no one in Jiangdong who does not know Mr. Qiao, and there is no one who does not envy this old man.

    ?? Qiao Gong was originally from Lujiang and Anhui County. He is famous for having two daughters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.  Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are called the most beautiful women in Jiangdong. Of course, they are both praised at the same time.  In other words, there is no distinction between the beauty of two people.

    There is no man in Jiangdong who is not attracted to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and there is no man who does not covet their beauty.

    But later, no one else dared to think about it.  Because Da Qiao married Sun Ce, the overlord, and Xiao Qiao married Zhou Yu.

    This is enough to make Duke Qiao proud in the entire Jiangdong.

    Now that the Qiao family has moved to Yuzhang, they have a prominent status. Rich and powerful people often come to visit, and the house is full of people.

    Today, another distinguished guest came. He is the now famous Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Cong.

    When he heard Liu Cong¡¯s visit, Qiao Guo always went to the door of the house to greet him.

    "Liu Jingzhou is here to visit. I am sorry to hear you come from afar, but I hope you will forgive me!" Mr. Qiao Guolao bowed his hands to Liu Cong.

    ¡°What the hell, I¡¯m so insolent, I hope Mr. Qiao will forgive me!¡±

    Entering the mansion, guests and hosts were seated.

    Liu Cong, a veteran of Qiao State, looked up and down and showed a satisfied smile.

    "Liu Jingzhou is young and promising, and he is a talented person. He is a perfect match for the princess!"

    "I am over-flattered¡­¡­"

    Liu Cong's visit to Qiao Guolao was a planned matter, with the purpose of expanding his influence in Jiangdong.  Qiao Guolao does not have any official position, but he can influence many upper-class people in Jiangdong.  Once Qiao Guolao is satisfied with Liu Cong, it will be hard for others in Jiangdong to cause trouble.

    Liu Cong praised Qiao Guolao, which made Qiao Guolao very satisfied.  Then he and Qiao Guolao talked about poetry, songs, and historical heroes.

    The Qiao family is a scholarly family, and Mr. Qiao is proficient in poetry and music.  However, after talking with Liu Cong, he discovered that Liu Cong's knowledge in these aspects was no less than his, and some of his insights were even more unique, which he had never heard before or thought of.  His attitude towards Liu Cong changed from admiration at first to deep admiration.

    The two of them had been talking for nearly two hours without realizing it. Qiao Guolao wanted to stay with Liu Cong for dinner, but Liu Cong politely declined.

    When they returned to the post house, Ma Liang, Wang Can and Ma Zhong were waiting for Liu Cong.

    Ma Liang and Lu Fan were discussing Liu Cong's wedding and were very busy every day.

    "Ji Chang, Zhongxuan, Shouxin, what's going on?"

    "My lord, Lu Fan proposed that the wedding ceremony should be carried out with the wife-marriage ceremony."

    In ancient times, people were very particular about marrying wives and taking concubines. Sun Shangxiang was the daughter of Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, and the sister of Sun Quan, the current lord of Jiangdong. Naturally, she could not be a concubine.

    Liu Cong nodded, "Just follow them."

    "No!"

    "My lord, the scribes from Jiangdong are going to hold a poetry gathering at Mingyue Tower and invite my lord to participate." Wang Can said.

    "when?"

    "Tonight."

    "Okay, I'm going to participate!"

    "My lord, Zhou Yu is back!" Ma Zhong came to Jiangdong disguised as Liu Cong's personal soldier, "and as soon as he came back, he went to Sun Quan's mansion."

    "Now that there is no war in Wu County, it is normal for Zhou Yu to come back. But this matter is not that simple. You have to figure out the real purpose of Zhou Yu's return."

    "No!"

    "Keep your word, send the order through Tianwang camp, Deng Ai leads 10,000 troops into Changsha. Let Liu Min place all fifty warships across the Xiangjiang River, and form a confrontation with Yuzhang's navy on the river!"

    "No!"

    Yuzhang and Changsha are not far apart, but now there is no real navy in Jingzhou, so Liu Cong came to Jiangdong from Jiangxia.

    Wuhou Mansion.

    Zhou Yu met his lord Sun Quan in Sun Quan¡¯s study.

    "Gong Jin, how is Wu County?"

    "Lord, don't worry. He Qi is now stationed in Beigu Mountain and Zhu Zhi is stationed in Wu County. Everything is safe. After Cao Cao withdrew, Zhang He led 20,000 soldiers and horses to station in Guangling. Wenpin is training the navy. He will not attack me in Jiangdong in the near future.  Use troops."

    "That's good!" Sun Quan nodded, "During this period, the Shanyue people often invaded the country, robbed property, and attacked the county. Can Gong Jin have a way to control them?"

    "The people of Shanyue are all hiding in the mountains. If we send a large army to encircle and suppress them, it will not only waste our troops and financial resources, but also we will not achieve great results. However, I recommend one person who can put an end to the chaos in Shanyue."

    ¡°?Who?  "

    "Zhuge Ziyu!"

    "Okay, I will immediately appoint Zhuge Jin as the Protector of the Mountains and Yue Zhonglang General, and lead the army to quell the chaos."

    "Lord, now we have a good opportunity!"

    "What good opportunity?"

    "Kill Liu Cong and seize Jingzhou!"

    Sun Quan frowned after hearing Zhou Yu's words.

    "Gong Jin, if I kill Liu Cong now, I will break my promise to the world!" After a long time, Sun Quan said in embarrassment, "Besides, I can't explain it to my mother."

    "My lord, these are troubled times. What we need is an iron-blooded hero, not a benevolent one. History is written by the victors, so why care about other people's comments. My lord, please take a look -" Zhou Yu took out a map and unfolded it.  "Once Liu Cong dies, Jingzhou will be in chaos! At that time, Yuzhang's navy can be ordered to quickly cross the river, defeat Liu Min's Jingnan army, and seize the four counties of Jingnan. Lu Su sent troops from Sanjiangkou to attack Nanjun and Jiangling. Lu Meng followed  Chai Sang sent troops to attack Jiangxia. My lord personally led the army to attack Zhangling and Xiangyang. If the war goes well, we can take advantage of the situation to capture Nanyang. From now on, we can make a northern expedition to the Central Plains and achieve hegemony!"

    "But" Sun Quan still shook his head.  Although the result Zhou Yu said was very tempting, when he thought of the infamy he would bear, the lessons he would face from his mother, and the rebuke from his sister, he did not dare to make up his mind lightly.

    What¡¯s more, real war is not as easy as it sounds.

    "My lord, please don't be indecisive!"

    "Gongjin, let me think about it again!"

    "Okay!" Zhou Yu let out a sigh of relief, "Lord, my subordinates will leave first."

    Zhou Yu left Wuhou Mansion, returned home gloomily, and went straight into the study.

    Madam came to greet her in surprise, but was dismissed by Zhou Yu.  In the past, when he was depressed, Xiao Qiao would play the piano for him.  But now, Xiao Qiao is still in Chaisang.

    "Here we come, call Zhou Shan."

    "No!"

    After a while, Zhou Shan, the commander of the personal soldiers, came to the study.

    "General, what are your orders?"

    "Zhou Shan, do two things for me, but you must do them secretly!"

    "Please give your orders, general, and my subordinates will definitely complete it."

    "First, closely monitor Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Cong, and control his every move without letting go of any detail!"

    "No!"

    ¡°Find me ten killers, they must be knight-errants with good skills, preferably desperadoes!¡±

    "No!"

    After Zhou Shan left, another person came to Zhou Yu's study.  I saw him dressed in black, with a gloomy look on his face.  After Zhou Yu explained to him in a low voice, the man left quickly.

    Zhou Yu looked at the direction the man was leaving, with a ruthless look in his eyes, "Liu Cong, I will definitely prevent you from returning to Jingzhou this time!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
