Chapter 264: Three Kingdoms: Xiliang Ma Teng takes the blame again
[In the tent of the Grand Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Wu Baqiu, Zhou Yu, lying on the sickbed, talked with Lu Su. His subordinates Ding Feng and Xu Sheng stood beside them.
Zhou Yu said with difficulty: "It's not that I don't want to be loyal to my country, but my destiny has come to an end. I hope you will work together to help the Marquis of Wu achieve his great cause."
Xiao Qiao, who was beside him, helped Zhou Yu to sit up on the sickbed and handed a pen to him. Zhou Yu wanted to write a suicide note, but he was too weak to write.
Xiao Qiao said with tears in her eyes, "Husband, I will write for you."
"I am a mediocre person, but I have been blessed by a wise ruler... Cao Wei is in the north, and the border is not yet peaceful. Liu Bei is staying here, like a tiger in the neighborhood... Lu Su is loyal and brave, and has a long-term strategy... He can take over the important task for me... If you can help me, I will die... I will die without regrets!"
At dusk, Zhou Yu, his wife and children lay on a lounge chair, watching the setting sun.
Zhou Yu suddenly said to Xiao Qiao, "Madam, people say that Kong Ming and I are fighting and incompatible. Who would have thought that he could understand the meaning of my "Long River Song"... We each have our own ambitions and our own masters, so how can we not fight? But every time he fights, he is always one step ahead of me. Is it God's will? Is it human power?"
Zhou Yu struggled to get up and pulled the strings of the zither with force, saying in despair: "Since I was born, why was Liang born..." As soon as he finished shouting, he died in Xiao Qiao's arms.
...
In Chaisang, Eastern Wu, everyone in the Governor's Mansion was in mourning. The attendants stood on the beams of the Governor's Mansion in mourning clothes, using white cloth to call back Zhou Yu's spirit.
The attendants shouted, "The governor is back! The governor is back!"
...
Zhuge Liang was very sad when he learned the news of Zhou Yu's death.
Zhao Yun was very puzzled and asked him: "With Zhou Yu's death, Jingzhou has lost a strong enemy, we should be happy. Besides, Zhou Yu was narrow-minded and wanted to kill the military advisor several times..."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed, "People say that Zhou Gongjin is jealous of talent, but that's not true! Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked my brother Zhuge Jin to persuade me to surrender to Wu. Zhou Gongjin was not jealous of my wisdom being better than his, but hated that my talent could not be used by Wu. Zhou Gongjin was elegant and outstanding, and was a great Confucian general. Now his ambitions have not been fulfilled, like a fallen star, how can the heroes of the world not feel sad?"
Therefore, Zhuge Liang proposed to go to Chaisang in Dongwu to mourn for Zhou Yu. Liu Bei and others firmly opposed it, but Zhuge Liang said that he would take the opportunity of mourning and go to Jiangdong to look for wise men.
＜Wow, Xiao Qiao looks so pretty when she cries [crying]＞
＜The wise leader refers to Sun Ce＞
＜High-risk occupation in Dongwu - Grand Commander＞
＜The Grand Commander and Zhuge Liang love and hate each other＞
＜No, seeing this, Dudu was really moved. He had conquered Jiangdong with Sun Ce, and later assisted Sun Quan with all his strength. He really worked hard for the future of Dongwu.＞
＜I wonder if Ding Feng will sigh many years later that Gongjin died in the best of times…＞
＜So Sima Yi didn’t compete with Zhuge Liang, hahaha ＞
＜Sima Laogou: Fortunately, I am magnanimous, otherwise I would become like Zhou Yu＞
＜Wow, farewell to the Grand Commander! It's so sad＞
＜Rest in peace, Gongjin＞
＜Remember, this paragraph was added by the screenwriter himself. Luo Guanzhong wrote that Zhou Yu was narrow-minded and Zhuge Liang gloated over Zhou Yu's death＞
＜History Yu fans are furious, Luo Guanzhong is really a damned one＞
＜Heroes appreciate heroes＞
[Zhang Fei: Eh? The Grand Commander also said, "Since we have Yu, why do we have Liang?"]
[Sun Ce in the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Luo Guanzhong you***]
......
The fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty
Generals such as Huang Gai and Cheng Pu felt uncomfortable with the title of "Grand Commander".
Zhuge Liang is really pretending and acting so hypocritical!
Phew, it’s finally over.
Zhou Yu was obviously relaxed, this "farce" was finally over. To be honest, he almost didn't recognize himself after watching "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Sun Ce wanted to comfort Gongjin, but Gongjin himself didn't care.
"Bofu, since Luo Guanzhong honored Liu Bei by writing Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we naturally won't give it a very good evaluation."
"I don't care anymore. The light curtain doesn't reveal many details. Based on the general development, we can infer that the following part will focus on what happened after Liu Bei entered Shu."
......
[When Cao Cao learned that Zhou Yu had passed away, he followed Cheng Yu's advice and planned to lead 300,000 troops south.
When Lu Su learned that Zhuge Liang came to pay his respects, he sent Zhuge Jin to persuade him to come back, but Zhuge Liang declined and insisted on coming.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other Wu generals blamed Zhuge Liang for the death of the Grand Commander. Knowing that Zhuge Liang was coming to Chaisang to pay his respects, they decided to kill him.
Inside Zhou Yu’s mourning hall.
Lu Su said worriedly, "After the death of the governor, the generals of Wu turned their hatred to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and wanted to raise troops to attack Jingzhou. Deputy Governor Cheng Pu was moved by Gongjin's friendship and also advocated revenge. If Su Xin led the three armies and tried to stop them, I'm afraid the soldiers would not obey."
Sun Quan asked in return: "Zi Jing, don't you want to avenge Gong Jin?"
Lu Su said solemnly: "Gongjin and I were like brothers. I was deeply saddened when Gongjin died young. However... we must always put national interests first... Cao Cao is about to go south... If Sun and Liu turn against each other at this time, Cao Cao will take advantage of the situation and come, which will be a great threat to Jiangnan..."
The funeral begins.
Zhuge Liang came crying, Gan Ning drew his sword and stabbed Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun drew his sword and knocked Gan Ning's sword down. Lu Su ordered Cheng Pu and others to stop, Cheng Pu drew his sword and confronted Zhao Yun. Zhuge Liang picked up Gan Ning's fallen sword, held it in both hands and came to Cheng Pu, who had no choice but to take it.
Zhuge Liang came to Zhou Yu's coffin and wept bitterly as he recounted Zhou Yu's brilliant achievements throughout his life, saying that he had lost a close friend forever. Xiao Qiao told Zhou Yu's last wish: "I want Sun and Liu to be on good terms in order to resist Cao Cao."
Sun Quan thought to himself that the rumors about Gongjin and Kongming not getting along well might all be lies.
Before leaving, Zhuge Liang told Lu Su that if he wanted to defeat Cao, he only needed to spread a rumor about "Xiliang Ma Teng" in Xudu.
＜Guess what, Cao Cao will definitely not listen to Cheng Yu again＞
＜Zhuge Jin never stopped his brother in his entire life [covering his face]＞
＜To be honest, it was Cao Ren’s poison arrow that killed Gongjin. How come everyone has forgotten it＞
＜Lu Su really has a big vision, is righteous, sober and strategic.＞
＜The Three Kingdoms is good at hosting weddings and funerals＞
＜I always feel like there are not many people in Dongwu＞
＜No, Zhuge Liang was crying like his brother Zhuge Jin had died [covering his face]＞
＜Sun Quan: You two have such deep feelings for each other, you are even sadder than me…＞
＜Zhou Yu: You are crying so sadly, please come down and keep me company＞
＜Zhuge Liang cries and surrenders to Jingzhou [covering his face]＞
＜Hahaha, Ma Teng has never shown his face, but his traces are everywhere＞
＜In the next episode, Ma Teng and his family will rest＞
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: …]
[Cao Ren in the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Hahaha, it's just Zhou Gongjin, there's nothing to be afraid of]
[Ma Teng in the fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: Fuck]
......
The second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty
Zhang Fei came to Zhuge Liang and fanned him.
"Hehe, this trick of making Jiang Dong cry is really powerful! Teach me."
Zhuge Liang was stunned at first, then laughed: "That's all true feelings."
……
The fifth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty
Ma Teng was speechless. Everyone was throwing everything at him!
Cao Cao once again thought that Ma Teng must be dealt with first. It was too unsettling to have him behind the scenes.
Sun Ce muttered: "Zhuge Liang is eloquent..."
Zhou Yu was also surprised after seeing Zhuge Liang's series of actions after his "death". Should we say he is worthy of being called Sleeping Dragon Kongming?
