71. [068] With children

Sun Ce held his arms and stared at Sun Quan expressionlessly, Sun Quan was furious when he was seen by his eldest brother, so he quietly turned his eyes to look at the curtain at the door, on which Zhou Yu and Tai Shici were talking.

Sun Quan silently recited in his heart, "Second brother, come and save me", and suddenly heard Sun Ce's angry shout, and he was so frightened that he quickly shrank his neck: "You just ran back by yourself?" ”

"I'm coming with someone......" Sun Quan stammered, he stretched out his finger and cautiously pointed outside: "The second brother is talking to that person, he called Taishi Ziyi is the one who defeated the third sister!" ”

"Don't give me all this useless!" Sun Ce looked irritable, he went back and forth in the house a few times, and suddenly reached out and pressed on the top of Sun Quan's head and shook it vigorously: "You just threw your third sister in Lujiang like this?" ”

Sun Quan was dizzy by Sun Ce, and he said pitifully: "The third sister asked me to deliver a letter to you, I can be the one who carries a heavy responsibility!" You can't bully me! ”

"I like to bully you." Sun Ce said, "You still have a heavy responsibility? Bring the letter. ”

"No." Sun Quan broke free from Sun Ce's grasp and fled to the door, bumped into Zhou Yu, who just opened the curtain and entered the door, and hurriedly stuffed the letter that had been hidden all the way into Zhou Yu's hand: "The third sister said it was for the second brother!" No part of yours! ”

"Little bunny, see if I don't beat you!"

Sun Ce rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Sun Quan menacingly, Sun Quan was scurrying around the house with his head in his hands, and the two of them chased after each other and had a lot of fun.

Zhou Yu sighed and said to Sun Ce helplessly: "I'm sorry, Brother Taishi, the family education is not strict, please don't see this...... This side please. ”

"Nothing." Tai Shi Ci smiled and waved his hand: "The lord and Bo Yan sometimes tease Brother Sun like this." ”

"Bo Yan?" Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows: "Is he okay?" ”

"It should be pretty good, right?" Tai Shi Ci thought for a while: "Although Lord Lu died, the lord took him in. And the lord has taken him with him wherever he has been going recently, and Mr. Wenhe said that the lord wants to teach Bo Yan something. ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "The two children of the Lu family are both talented and intelligent, and they will be determined to become great in the future if they are taught well." ”

Just follow Jia Xu to learn, don't let Shen Xian take the children around the clock, otherwise you may not be taught to be distorted.

Of course, Zhou Yu didn't say this, he just made up his mind, and after seeing Shen Xian for a while, he must bring Lu Ji and Lu Kang over to raise him. The reason Zhou Yu has thought about it, to the effect: Third sister, the entire Yizhou is under your control, and there will be large and small territories under your control in the future, how much effort does it take to raise two more children, why don't you continue to manage the territory, and let the children raise you?

It always felt like something wasn't quite right.

Sun Ce and Sun Quan were playing hide and seek in the house, and Zhou Yu was smiling and talking to Tai Shi Ci, as if he hadn't noticed that there were two snake spirits in the background. After talking for a while, Zhou Yu suddenly said, "Brother Taishi, what is the situation in Lujiang?" ”

Tai Shi Ci remembered that Jia Xu and Shen Xian were smiling incomprehensibly at each other before leaving, and unconsciously shuddered, he showed a somewhat honest expression, scratched his head and said, "This...... The lord is written in the letter, and I can't say it clearly, but Brother Zhou will know it at a glance. ”

Zhou Yu saw Tai Shici's stumbling appearance and understood that things were definitely not as simple as the rumors, and he didn't ask anything anymore, and directly opened Shen Xian's secret letter and studied it carefully.

The handwriting of this letter is very powerful, and at a glance he knows that it is not from Shen Xian's handwriting, Zhou Yu glanced at the payment, and found that it was indeed written by Jia Xu, and couldn't help but sigh that Jia Xu's handwriting is really good.

After reading the letter at a glance, Zhou Yu already understood Shen Xian and Jia Xu's plan. To put it bluntly, it is to let them take advantage of the outbreak of the plague in Lujiang, deceive Yuan Shu, and go to Huiji County to occupy territory, just Guo Jia is fooling Huaxin in Yuzhang County next door, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sent troops at this time, which can also help Guo Jia deter a little and add some weight to his lobbying success.

Zhou Yu was about to say something after reading the letter, when he suddenly felt a sinking on his shoulders, and then looked at Tai Shici's somewhat stunned appearance, and he knew that it must be Sun Ce without even thinking about it.

The hide-and-seek activity finally ended with Sun Ce grabbing Sun Quan and beating him, the winner Sun Ce was very happy, he carried Sun Quan in one hand, pressed Zhou Yu's shoulder with the other, leaned over from behind him and took advantage of his neck to look at the letter on the table: "What did the third sister say?" She's okay, right? When will it come out? What are we going to do next? ”

Zhou Yu casually put the letter on the table, he turned around and grabbed Sun Ce's collar, and said seriously: "You have also heard the news, the plague in Lujiang is very strict, and it has begun to spread outward. Although Yuan Gong moved the people on the border between Jiujiang and Lujiang to other places, looking at this situation, it is difficult to protect the whole Yangzhou if it continues to develop. ”

Tai Shi Ci and Sun Quan became dumbfounded, and their expressions were uniformly watching Zhou Yu flicker Sun Ce on the spot.

Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, he unconsciously let go of the hand holding Sun Quan's clothes, and Sun Quan took the opportunity to sneak behind Tai Shici and hide it. After thinking in silence for a long time, Sun Ce said, "I'm going to Lujiang." ”

"The third sister studied under Hua Shen Doctor, and she has the ability to cure diseases and save people, but what can you help when you go?" Zhou Yu frowned and said, "You stay and lead the troops, and I'll help him." ”

"I don't." Sun Ce said expressionlessly: "Even if she can only be stationed outside the city, I will not let her stay alone in the city." ”

"We're leaving, what are we going to do with Yuan Gong?" Zhou Yu shook his head and said that he disagreed: "Once Cao Mengde breaks through Yuan Gong's soldiers and horses, Yangzhou will be exposed to his iron hooves sooner or later, and then half of the country will be Yuan Benchu's family, what are we still playing?" ”

"I don't care if he lives or dies." Sun Ce looked willful: "My third sister is the most important, let Yuan Highway play by herself!" ”

After saying this, Sun Ce ran out of the camp without looking back.

After Sun Ce left, Zhou Yu, who had an angry and corrupt expression, suddenly regained his usual gentle and elegant appearance, and he beckoned to Sun Quan, who was hiding behind Tai Shi Ci: "Zhong Mou, go and take out the tea leaves that your brother hid in the cabinet, and I will make a pot of tea for Brother Tai Shi." ”

"Oh." Sun Quan pursed his lips, stood up and went to turn over the tea leaves.

Tai Shi Ci couldn't see the two brothers, no, what the three brothers and sisters were doing, he asked tentatively, "Don't you care about Brother Sun?" ”

"No, you don't." Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "He went to Yuan Highway to resign." ”

Tai Shi Ci frowned: "But you're not afraid of Cao Mengde......?" ”

"The third sister said in the letter that they have already arranged it, so what is there to be afraid of?" Zhou Yu took the tea box handed by Sun Quan, poured out some tea leaves and began to make tea for Tai Shici: "It's not that Bo Fu doesn't understand, it's just that he has to deceive himself before he can deceive others." ”

Sun Ce came back after a while, the anxious look on his face when he rushed out before was gone, he shook his fist and winked at Zhou Yu, and said with a smile: "As soon as Yuan Highway heard that I was going to Lujiang, he let him go without saying a word, and he also said that I would inquire about the specific situation in Lujiang and see if the plague could be cured." ”

"When are we leaving?" Without waiting for Zhou Yu to answer, Sun Ce said again, this time he seemed eager to try, and was a little excited: "Lujiang?" ”

"Go to Lujiang first, and then take a detour to play Huiji." Zhou Yu said lightly: "The speed must be fast, the third sister can't hide it for long, she can't keep the people in the city all the time, as long as someone has the heart to verify, they can always find some clues, and then they will know what is going on after a little thought." Once exposed, there are not enough soldiers and horses in Lujiang City, and the third sister will definitely be in danger. ”

"Then what nonsense is it to leave! Leave tomorrow! Sun Ce jumped up and began to pick up the clothes and luggage that he had thrown everywhere.

Zhou Yu sat upright and sat still, he said helplessly: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, we are going to fight and not to play, you have to wait for me to mobilize the grain and grass, right?" ”

Sun Ce paused in the corner like a balloon that was suddenly punctured, seeing this scene, Zhou Yu shook his head: "Or you take the light horse and go first, and I will arrive later." ”

Sun Ce slowly stood up, he condescendingly glanced at the other kneeling people in the room, and suddenly his gaze fell on Tai Shici.

Sun Ce said in a gloomy tone: "You asked him to mobilize grain and grass?" Didn't the third sister send him? ”

Zhou Yuxin said that this person looks like you at first glance, and he is definitely a second stunned man who goes to the battlefield and fights more and more, so let a second stunned person mobilize grain and grass...... Crazy?

Tai Shi Ci inexplicably received Sun Ce's dissatisfied glare, and he said, "Brother Sun, the lord sent me here to help fight the war. ”

Sun Ce crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes: "How good can you fight?" ”

Tai Shici suddenly smiled: "Why don't you try it?" ”

Zhou Yu didn't bother to say anything more, he took Sun Quan by the collar and took him away from this place of right and wrong.

"Second, second brother," Sun Quan struggled a few times: "I want to see ......"

"Look at what you see." Zhou Yu said expressionlessly: "I'll prepare grain and grass, you follow me to learn something, don't wander around all day." ”

Sun Quan said regretfully: "Okay...... But what the third sister said is so accurate! He said that the eldest brother would definitely fight with that person. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, his brows jumped slightly.

In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Ce and Tai Shi Ci fought in the barracks, according to the soldiers who had watched, the two fought in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and it was particularly fierce, for example, Sun Ce first took the halberd on Tai Shi Ci's back, and Tai Shi Ci pulled Sun Ce's helmet off with his backhand. In this way, the two fought for a long time, and the onlookers cheered excitedly, and in the end, Sun Ce was the winner.

After the fight, Tai Shici and Sun Ce looked at each other and smiled, hugged their shoulders and went to drink.

Sun Quan regretted that he couldn't see it, and then he noticed that Zhou Yu put on a gritted teeth. Sun Quan, who has always been very vigilant about danger, quietly took half a step back, and heard Zhou Yu say expressionlessly: "They went drinking?" ”

"yes, yes." I don't understand why Zhou Yu suddenly became so terrifying, and the little soldier was scared.

"Is he stupid!" Zhou Yu said angrily: "The good guy is still trapped in Lujiang, and his life and death are uncertain, and he has the leisure to drink with others?!" ”

By the way, in view of not wanting to save his life, Yuan Yao chose to cooperate with Shen Xian's request, and did not tell her true identity, not only did he not say that he also gave the "Ziwen girl" a new background, that is, he studied medical skills for a few days with the divine doctor Hua Tuo. So after Yuan Yao clarified to Yuan Shu that he was indeed trying to send his sister-in-law out of the city to chase Sun Ce before Yang Changshi found an opportunity to assassinate him, Yuan Shu still thought that Sun Ce and his sister-in-law had finally killed Guo Jia together. As for why the sister-in-law went to Lujiang...... The doctor is always kind-hearted, and when he hears that there is a plague, it is normal to help treat the disease and save people. It was precisely because of the sister-in-law who was deeply trapped in the plague-ravaged Shucheng that Sun Ce wanted to go over to save his sweetheart so desperately.

Yuan Shu felt that although Cao Cao was still eyeing the border, it didn't seem safe for Sun Ce to evacuate at this time, but after hearing about the plague, Cao Cao didn't dare to come over lightly, and let Sun Ce take the lead to find out the specific situation, in case the plague spread to Jiujiang County, Yuan Shu had to move quickly to think about the future.

Zhou Yu ran to the tavern angrily to get people, and then he found that he didn't have to worry about whether Sun Ce's lies would be exposed, because the drunk Sun Ce cried "Ziwen, are you still alive", and at the same time picked up his weapon and fought with Tai Shici again, beating the tavern to pieces, Xiao Er and the shopkeeper scurried around with their heads in their hands, and when they saw Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, it was like seeing relatives.

At least there is no need to worry about the indemnity.

Zhou Yu pulled the shopkeeper aside to appease him, and gave him a lot of money to pay off his debts. Sun Quan stared at his eldest brother in amazement, holding a gun and shouting, "Zi Sister-in-law, Zi Sister-in-law".

The world is changing so fast, even my eldest brother is so good at acting, I really can't keep up with the rhythm.

Sun Quan thought blankly.

Zhou Yu finally realized that Sun Ce and Tai Shi Ci's destructive power was only lower than that of Sun Ce and Shen Xian, so he kicked Sun Ce on his horse very ruthlessly and asked him to take the vanguard to Lujiang, while Tai Shi Ci was left behind, and in the name of teaching Sun Quan to practice martial arts, in fact, he stared at Quan Tsai and looked at each other unpleasantly.

"Tie the horse for an hour." Tai Shi Ci didn't know where to find a whip to use as a teaching tool, he circled around Sun Quan with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Straighten your waist, tie it firmly, don't shake it around." ”

Sun Quan bared his teeth in pain, and when he heard that he was going to tie the horse for an hour, he suddenly felt that the future was bleak, and he rolled his eyes and lay on the ground: "I'm dead, don't call me." ”

"Get up." Tai Shici waved his whip and made a "whoosh" sound that whipped the air, which made people feel cold behind their backs when they listened to it.

Sun Quan thought that the horse step for an hour was also death, and lying down was also death, so it was better to die lying down, so he turned himself into a scale and pierced on the ground, but he did not move the nest.

"Really?" Tai Shi Ci narrowed his eyes.

Sun Quan stiffened his neck and just didn't move.

Tai Shi Ci said slowly: "Your brother sued me before leaving, if you are disobedient, let me beat you." ”

Sun Quan was shocked and angry, he jumped up with a carp, rolled up his sleeves and rushed to Tai Shici: "Impossible!" The eldest brother only let the second brother and the third sister beat me! ”

Tai Shi Ci: "......"

Just when the two were about to fight (Quan Zai was unilaterally beaten), Zhou Yu hurried over: "Why are you still here?" Pack up and hurry up, and leave tonight. ”

"Why do you have to leave now?" Tai Shi Ci was puzzled: "It's not that the grain and grass haven't ...... yet."

"Cao Ying's change." Zhou Yu's tone was much lighter, and even brought a slight smile: "It is said that Lu Fengxian did not attack Xuzhou, but turned around and copied Cao Mengde's hometown, he attacked Taishan County, and then was welcomed by Chen Gongtai into Dongjun as Yanzhou Mu. As soon as Lu Fengxian arrived in Dongjun, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Mengzhuo also responded to the call and betrayed Cao Mengde, and now only Xiahou Yuanrang in Yanzhou is still under Cao Mengde's control. ”

Tai Shi Ci's mouth opened slightly in surprise, completely unaware of how it happened.

Zhou Yu continued: "After hearing this news, Yuan Gong has already sent troops and horses to pursue the retreating Cao Mengde. ”

He shook his head as he spoke, as if he didn't agree with Yuan Shu's approach.

"Cao Mengde withdraws his troops, and we can leave?" Sun Quan asked blankly.

Zhou Yu touched Sun Quan's head with a smile and patiently explained to him: "Lu Feng first turned against the water, Cao Mengde withdrew his troops, and the crisis in Xu Yang's two states could naturally be solved." Once there is no longer a threat, Yuan Gong will have his hands free to deal with Lujiang and other prefectures and counties that are not under his control, and there is not much time left for us. ”

"Why did Lu Fengxian suddenly betray Yuan Benchu?" Sun Quan frowned: "No...... No, he was originally a capricious person, so why did Yuan Benchu give him military power? ”

Hearing this question, a faint smile flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes: "Yes, tell me, why?" ”

"Could it be that Yuan Benchu did it on purpose?" Sun Quan said suddenly, and then he was taken aback by his own thoughts: "This is unlikely, right?" How could Yuan Benchu do such a thankless thing? ”

"Is it really unflattering?" Zhou Yu basked slightly: "Are you talking about what Yuan Benchu lost?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu was taking the opportunity to teach Sun Quan, Tai Shici silently did not say anything, and also thought together.

If, according to Sun Quan, Yuan Shao deliberately handed over the military power to Lu Bu, then he was waiting for Lu Bu to rebel - whether he occupied Xuzhou after capturing Xuzhou, or whether he would return to occupy Yuzhou without fighting Xuzhou, or directly copy Cao Cao's hometown, it was nothing more than these three situations.

In Tai Shici's opinion, the best-case scenario is that LΓΌ Bu occupies Xuzhou or Yuzhou, so that neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao has any actual losses.

Thinking of this, Tai Shici said: "Could it be that Yuan Benchu made a mistake? ”

"Not really." Zhou Yu laughed: "This is his true purpose." ”

Tai Shi Ci asked, "But why?" ”

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan thought of when Shen Xian took him and Lu Xun to chat casually with Jia Xu when he was in Lujiang before, the two had talked about related things, what did they say at that time?

"Lu Fengxian is a self-righteous person, he likes to listen to other people's praise the most, and at the same time, he can't be provoked."

"Yuan Benchu captured Youzhou, he was supposed to cultivate and recuperate, how could he start a war at this time?"

"Cao Mengde broke the yellow scarf, and he is in the limelight."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Like a bright light piercing the night sky, Sun Quan suddenly opened his mind, and he said quickly: "Yuan Benchu...... Afraid of Cao Mengde? So you want to lead Lu Feng into the game first, let them fight and lose both, and reap the benefits of the fisherman? ”

Tai Shi Ci was slightly stunned, and then thought that Yuan Shao owned the two states of Youji and half of Qingzhou, while Cao Cao took the entire territory of Yanzhou and part of Qingzhou, and his reputation was constantly rising while his territory was gradually expanding. Although Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's own person, compared to the enemy who is on guard at any time in the open land, isn't the cold knife from behind more deadly?

"That's right." Zhou Yu finally nodded: "It's a pity that Yuan Benchu didn't know that he was afraid of Cao Mengde's idea of gradually getting bigger, and it was also the subtle influence of others on him......"

Sun Quan actually didn't care much about whether Yuan Shao wanted to suppress Cao Cao, and after thinking about the truth, he was very excited: "Second brother, am I very powerful!" ”

"Study hard." Zhou Yu smiled encouragingly at Sun Quan: "Since you are not good at leading troops in battle, let's learn something else, and when you grow up in the future, you can also come to help your third sister." ”

Sun Quan's expression darkened: "But the third sister seems to prefer Lu Boyan!" She takes him with her wherever she goes! ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Really? Then I'll take you with me wherever I go, isn't this going down? ”

That night, Zhou Yu and the others led all the soldiers and horses to Lujiang to catch up with the pace of Sun Ce's vanguard.

When Sun Quan was still immersed in the joy of "being taken by Zhou Yu wherever he went", Lu Xun, who was dragged by Shen Xian's side, was not so happy. He looked at the official documents that were covered with a table full of cases, and protested: "I'm still a child!" That's all you need to show me! I don't understand! ”

Shen Xian put aside the approved official document very calmly, and said without raising her head: "If you don't understand, you can learn, if you don't know, just ask, ask me or Wenhe." ”

"But I don't want to study, I want to go out and play." Lu Xun began to play scoundrel, his face was pressed against the table and he turned his head to look at Shen Xian.

Shen Xian finally glanced up at Lu Xun, and she said helplessly: "If you don't want to learn this, how about learning marksmanship from Zilong?" ”

"Don't." Lu Xun stubbornly stiffened his neck: "Don't want anything!" ”

Shen Xian sighed: "But if you don't learn, how will you manage such a large Lujiang County in the future?" ”

Lu Xun was slightly stunned, he slowly sat up straight, and stared at Shen Xian without turning his eyes: "You, what do you mean?" He stammered, "Isn't Lujiang yours now?" I've handed it over to you from my grandfather! ”

"What if you leave it to me?" Shen Xian looked at him strangely: "Lujiang still lacks a Taishou, I am Yizhou Mu, only the official is getting bigger and bigger, how can there be a reason to go back and be a Taishou." ”

Lu Xun was a little flustered: "But ......"

"Don't." Shen Xian waved her hand: "It's also mine for you to be too guarded here, understand?" ”

Shen Xian walked to Lu Xun's desk and squatted down to eye level with him: "Since I promised Lord Lu to take care of you and Gongji, I will definitely raise you to become talents, suitable for leading soldiers, I will let you go into battle; If it is suitable for governing the country and the country, I will hand over the land of a county to you, and it may be a state land in the future, in short, it all depends on your ability, and the territory will be there. ”

"So, what do you want to do?"

Lu Xun knelt crampedly in front of the table and moved around, and Shen Xian didn't urge him, but just stretched out a hand to him.

It took a long time for Lu Xun to timidly put his hand into Shen Xian's palm, and he said in a low voice:

"I want to help Gongji prop up the lintel of the Lu family and glorify the ancestors;

"I want to inherit my grandfather's legacy and support the Han family;

"I want to calm the world and save the people from fire and water, so that they will not suffer so much again."

"Is it achievable?" Lu Xun raised his head and looked at Shen Xian.

Shen Xian smiled slightly: "Of course, your own ideals must be realized by yourself, I can only realize my ideals." ”

"And what are your ideals?" Lu Xun asked curiously.

Shen Xian thought for a while, revealing an unfathomable expression: "The world is peaceful." ”

Lu Xun pursed his lips disapprerovingly.

"You see you don't believe it." Shen Xian shrugged her shoulders: "Okay, my ideal is a bit rebellious, so I won't talk about it, everyone will understand." ”

Shen Xian stayed in Lujiang to raise her children, and acted responsibly as a way to block the gaze of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other forces, and at the same time, Zhou Yu finally passed through Danyang and Wu County, and caught up with Sun Ce's pace outside Shanyin City, which was close to Huiji County.

Zhou Yu stared at Sun Ce with a strange expression: "You didn't go to Lujiang?" ”

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you want to trick me into going to Lujiang?" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head: "No, I mean you didn't go to see the third sister?" ”

"Do you know the story of Dayu's water control?" Sun Ce said seriously: "In order to show his determination to control the water, Dayu passed the door three times without entering. I also decided that if I couldn't take Huiji County, I wouldn't go back to see the third sister. ”

Zhou Yu: "......"

Zhou Yu didn't want to speak to Sun Ce and threw a Sun Quan at him.

"Why is he here?" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan with disgust: "You didn't put him in Lujiang?" ”

"I'm going to fight with you!" Sun Quan puffed up his chest: "I can too!" Brother, you need a military advisor. ”

Sun Ce shook his head unceremoniously after seeing Sun Quan from his head to his feet: "I have Gongjin." ”

"Then you need a pioneer!" Sun Quan clenched his fists.

Sun Ce scratched his head: "I have Gongjin." ”

Sun Quan was full of expectations: "It's not enough to have the second brother alone!" ”

"Oh." Sun Ce nodded, raised his hand and put his hand on Tai Shici's shoulder: "I still have Ziyi." ”

Sun Quan burst into tears: "Ziyi is the third sister's, not yours!" Are we brothers? I'm going to find the third sister! Good bye! ”

"Come back." Zhou Yu took Sun Quan on the horse, and he smiled slightly: "We might as well come to Bibi, your third sister is teaching Lu Boyan, and Lu Gongji is following Guo Fengxiao, as for you...... Don't embarrass me. ”

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu blankly, and a sense of mission suddenly arose in his heart.
