Chapter 2411 Shen You Returns
Shen You's personal guards walked steadily, got off the boat, looked at the scenery around him, looked at the joyful faces, pressing the knife ring around his waist, looking at him.
"I'm back, it feels so good to come back." Someone shouted.
"This palace is so magnificent. I look much stronger than Luoyang City, and it deserves the momentum of our Dawu."
"It's better for Jiangnan. Tsk tsk, I get drunk when I smell this."
Someone shouted, "Shut up, Shen Zhuo has left the cabin." The guards who were joking just now immediately put away their smiles and stood in two rows on the shore, holding their heads up, pressing their hands on the knife ring, expressionless. The pedestrians passing by saw this momentum and knew that a general had returned to Beijing, surrounded them one after another. The pleasure boats in the river also stopped and looked up.
When Shen You left the cabin, he looked around and saw the people feeling blocked, red, green and green, everyone was full of joy and eyes focused. He couldn't help but smile and bowed his hand to signal.
"Shen San Miao!" An exclaimed from the crowd.
"Who is Chen Sanmiao?"
"Don't even know the pig head, Chen Sanmiao? Go away and don't block the way. Governor Chen, Governor Chen, look here, look here!"
In an instant, the voices were like tides and the enthusiasm was like waves. Lou Lu, who was following Shen You, was startled. His already pale face turned pale even more, and he subconsciously took a step back. Shen You grabbed him in time, so he didn't let him make a fool of himself.
"Young Marshal, get off the boat. Once you land, you will be safe."
Lou Lu looked at Shen You resentfully, and said gritting his teeth: "You are all liars! This is not the Yangtze River at all, this is the sea, this wave is too big, I vomited... Oh, no, I have to rest, my legs are a little weak."
Shen You called two guards, half-held Lou Lu, and dragged him off the boat. On the battlefield, Lou Lu, who was invincible, was so scared that he hugged the guard's arms tightly, and his legs tripped each other. He got off the boat and landed on the ground. He immediately hugged a tree next to him and gasped.
The pedestrians on the side burst into laughter when they saw people. Loulu’s personal guards ran over and protected Loulu. Their different appearance from the Han people immediately attracted the attention of the pedestrians. "It's Hu people!" someone shouted.
"What kind of Hu people are prisoners." Someone shouted immediately: "I'm fussy, I don't know."
"I'm afraid it's not a prisoner." An old man stroked his beard and said in a serious and honest official language: "This man came back with Governor Chen, probably because of Governor Chen's righteous cavalry."
Lou Lu has been studying with Han people since he was a child. He can understand the Chinese official language, but he cannot understand the Wu dialect. What the crowd onlookers said before, but he didn't understand the official language, and quickly retorted loudly: "You are wrong. I am not the Yi Congqi of Shen Du, I am the Wuhuan of Shanggu..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man who was kind-hearted and kind just now changed his face. "Bah, it turns out that he is really a barbarian."
Lou Lu closed his mouth speechlessly. Shen You walked over and patted his shoulder. "Okay, Young Marshal, you are willing to be my righteous deputies, but I don't want to. Let's go, follow me to the palace for a visit. Don't blame me for not reminding you that this is Jiangdong, not Shanggu, and no one cares if you are Young Marshal."
"Oh, ah." Lou Lu responded in frustration and hurriedly followed Shen You's pace.
Following the long slope to the city and coming to the palace gate. A servant came forward to submit documents. Lou Lu and Shen You stood by waiting. When they turned around, most of the Jianye City could see the roofs one after another, stretching to the distance. Even the river that scared him just now was hidden by the houses on both sides of the river, which was much thinner. There were colorful shop flags and wine banners flying on both sides, which were more than the battle flags on the battlefield, and it was dazzling.
"Wow, so many people!" Lou Lu pulled Shen You's sleeve. "Du Chen, how many thousands of times this Jianye City has fallen?"
Shen You looked at him, then looked away, and smiled and said, "Two years ago, there were more than 20,000 households in Jianye City."
"Two... Ten Thousand." Lou Lu smacked his lips and did not dare to ask again.
Someone from the palace walked out and led Shen You into the palace. When Shen You entered the palace, the smile on his face was closed, and his chest, which had been thrusting forward, put his hands in front of him, and his steps became much smaller. Seeing this, Lou Lu didn't even dare to show his anger and followed Shen You forward.
After walking through the long corridor between Gongqing Temple, there were more officials holding official documents along the way. Many people knew Shen You and stopped the greeting. Shen You didn't stop, but just greeted him slightly. Only when he met Prime Minister Zhang Hong on the way, he stopped and bowed to Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong was about to go to the palace, so he walked with Shen You. "Zizheng, has the Bingzhou mission arrived?"
"After arriving, Dianke Temple arranged for someone to pick him up and arranged for him to be in the inn, waiting for the king to summon him."
"Who is the leader?"
"Wang Ling, Feng Ji."
Zhang Hong's eyes flashed. "Why didn't Wang Gai come?"
"I dare not come." Shen You laughed disdainfully and said, "I asked the king for instructions, it would be fine if the king said he would not come."
Zhang Hong didn't say anything. The two of them came to the front of the hall gate together. The new Secretary Chen Lin waited at the entrance of the hall, greeted Zhang Hong, and bowed to Shen You again. "Director Chen, the sect registration has been completed. Please follow me. The king is waiting in the hall."
Zhang Hong introduced: "Duke Chen, this is my hometown party, Chen Lin and Chen Kongzhang, who just took office as the Minister of State."
Friend Shen was flattered and quickly gave a deep gift. "What kind of virtue is my friend? How dare I help Chen Lingjun to welcome him?"
"The governor has made contributions to the war. The king is very pleased. I specially ordered me to welcome him." Chen Lin bowed and bowed to Lou Lu. "This is the young marshal Lou Lu of the Black Lingwei? Haha, it looks similar to my Han family."
Zhang Hong and Chen Lin were all talking about official words. Lou Lu could understand it and dared not be arrogant. He quickly saluted. Chen Lin was very satisfied and praised a few words, leading them into the hall. He came to the entrance of the hall and climbed up the steps. Shen You, Lou Lu waited outside the hall, untied the sword at his waist, placed it on Lan Qi aside, returned to the entrance of the hall, and waited respectfully. Sun Ce quickly walked out of the inside.
Friend Shen entered the hall, lifted up his clothes, and fell to the ground. "Governor of the Yunzhong, my minister, please pay homage to the king."
Lou Lu also knelt down on the ground and reached the ground with his forehead. "Captain Hei Ling, go to Wuhuan Lou Lu to pay homage to the king."
"Get up, get up." Sun Ce helped Shen You up and down, looked Shen You's strong arm, and nodded with satisfaction. "Zizheng, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Shen You said seriously: "I am taking advantage of his merits and dare not say that he is suffering."
Sun Ce and Zhang Hong exchanged a look and smiled knowingly. Zhang Hong stroked his beard and said, "Du Chen is not going to be beaten."
"I didn't beat him at all." Shen You spread his hands helplessly. "I prepared for so long, but the result..."
"A good at fighting has no great achievements. What's wrong with defeating others without fighting?"
"After that being said, there is still some regret." Shen You secretly glanced at Sun Ce, and saw that Sun Ce had no intention of responding, he immediately changed the topic. "Of course I can understand the king's good intention of cherishing the people's strength, but the soldiers were a little unwilling. The Wang brothers escaped this, which was really too cheap for them."
"Hmph!" Sun Ce extended his finger to Shen You. "You, Chen Sanmiao, are eloquent and eloquent. You are obviously warlike, and you insist on using the names of the soldiers. Come over and let you see something." As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the side hall.
"Here." Shen You followed quickly. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by a huge sand table facing him. He stood at the door, raised his head, looked at the map, and quickly swept it, and found that this was the sand table in Yizhou, with some flags on it.
"King, are you... preparing to attack Shu?"
"It's just a plan." Sun Ce said lightly: "Are you interested in getting into it?"
Shen You glanced at the map again and found Zhou Yu's battle flag, Huang Zhong's battle flag, and Lu Su's battle flag. He smiled bitterly: "Although I have the intention, there are three Zhou, Huang and Lu, and there is no chance for me. Besides, Cao Cao, why did he mobilize so many troops?"
"Director Chen, Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although there are Zhou and Huang, it may not be able to conquer it smoothly." Zhang Hong said in a deep voice: "So in addition to Zhou, Huang and Lu, the king also prepared two groups of troops, one was Taishi Ziyi, who would launch an attack from the direction of Jiaozhou and attack Nanzhong with Zhou Gongjin; the other was the Guanzhong and attack Hanzhong with Huang Hansheng and Lu Zijing from three sides."
Seeing that Zhang Hong was speaking solemnly, Shen You knew that Sun Ce was not asking him for advice, but had made a decision, and just asked him if he was interested in participating in it. He did not dare to Meng Lang, put away his smile, and calculated it carefully. After a long time, he shook his head.
"King, although I am eager to fight, the outcome of this battle is not the number of soldiers and generals, but whether the money and grain supply can be sufficient. It is likely to be a war of attrition. Since there are the generals of the Zhou Huanglu Taishi, and whether there are ministers or not, it is not much different. It is better for me to guard Bingzhou for the king."
Sun Ce's mouth slightly raised. "Don't you really participate in the attack on Shu?"
Shen You shook his head firmly. "I don't think this is necessary."
Sun Ce and Zhang Hong looked at each other and burst into laughter. Shen You were suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask more, but just stood quietly. Zhang Hong laughed twice and nodded. "It's still the king who knows people, and Shen Du is indeed a general person."
Sun Ce smiled and said, "Can you take responsibility for one party?"
"With Shenshu guarding Taiyuan, the north can be safe."
Shen You breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked that he had not been confused by the military achievements of attacking Shu. Before returning to Beijing, he had discussed it repeatedly with Pang Tong. When Sun Ce attacked Yizhou, he must have a general who guarded the northern border and coordinated the defense from the west to Liangzhou and the east to Youzhou. This is not a responsibility that a war zone supervisor can take. Sun Ce will likely arrange a large commander to lead several war zone supervisors to be fully responsible for the war in the northern border.
When Taishi Ci was transferred from Youzhou, he was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. But if he was eager to fight and was tempted by the military achievements of attacking Shu, then this Grand Commander would be someone else's.
There are many good generals under the command of King Wu, and there are several candidates who can serve as the Grand Governor. If he missed this opportunity, he would not know when he would wait for the next time.
