[Su Shuang's death]

"I'm a lot older, you haven't experienced anything, it's been so long, why can't you think about it, look at you, how thin you are now, a person who used to be so round, now he has become so skinny, if I don't know that your family has a lot of money, so that anyone who sees you will be born in a poor family!" At this time, a man faced the man lying on the bed.

The person on the bed is Su Shuang, who went through the Yellow Turban Rebellion and ran to Yangzhou for refuge, his life was a life of suffering and suffering, and his wife died when his daughter was born; finally had a child of his own, but he had a strange illness and was unconscious, which caused him to have mixed feelings; Later, he sent her to Songshan to study, and she went for several years; finally went home, and encountered the intrusion of Duan Xi's family again; After overthrowing Duan Xi, I thought that I would be able to live a good life, but who would have thought that Xue'er would escape from Su Mansion without permission, and was chased and killed by the Yellow Turban Thief on the way, but finally fell into the valley, whether it was dead or alive There is no news, the stinky Taoist priest at the time, I don't know if it is true or false, and now I am left alone alone, fortunately, I will take the time to see myself and talk to myself with this friend in front of me.

"Zizhong, you don't know, my daughter is my life, now that she is gone, I have no reason to live, think about this experience in the world, I have also had enough, I have tasted all the various states of life!" Tears left in the corners of Su Shuang's eyes, and said: "You have been in business for generations, and I have no heirs in my family, and I am not willing to waste it in my hands, so I will simply leave it all to you, and it is up to you how to deal with it!" ”

"Brother, this is absolutely impossible, how can I accept such a big industry!"

This person is Mizhu of the East China Sea, whose ancestors have been engaged in reclamation for generations, with nearly 10,000 servants and diners, and hundreds of millions of assets, and is a wealthy man in Xuzhou.

"Don't be like this, since I got sick, the family business has been dull, I can't take care of it, Steward Li also passed away a few years ago, Zhang Shiping is not good at business, put the family business in his hands, I'm afraid it will be ruined, and you are different, you are my best friend in Su Shuang's life, and you are a person who is good at business, leave it to you, I don't worry, I don't want to be after my death, Su's horse shop is gone, so I will be ashamed of my ancestors!" When Su Shuang arrived here, he grabbed Mi Zhu's hand tightly with his hand and said, "Zizhong, for the sake of my brother's face and our friendship for many years, you must promise me!" ”

"Brother, why are you doing this...... Hey~ Okay, I'll promise you for the time being, you also have to take good care of your body! ”

"That's okay, in the box over there, the Su family's property is there, the contract, the real estate, the real estate, it's all there, when you leave later, you can take it!" Su pointed to the box at the foot of the bed.

"Ahem, cough~" Su Shuang suddenly coughed at this time, and when he saw it, he hurriedly took out the utensils beside the bed, and Su Shuang took the utensils and spit out the filth in his mouth.

"Oh, you ...... How to vomit blood! Mi Zhu hurriedly got up and brought tea to Su Shuang, and said, "Come, rinse your mouth and clear your throat!" ”

Although Mi Zhu and Su Shuang are commensurate with brothers, but in essence, they are indeed treated with fatherly courtesy, when Mi Zhu's business was sluggish, the capital chain was suddenly broken, and the family industry was facing the risk of bankruptcy, at this time, it was Su Shuang who remitted a large amount of funds for the first time, and filled the gap in time for Mi Zhu's funds, so that the capital flow of the whole family could be re-operational, and the two of them have since become inseparable friends, and they have been helping and taking care of each other in business.

"Master, master......" At this moment suddenly a servant hurried in, but he did not bother to reach the threshold and fell heavily.

"Oh, why are you running so fast, hurry up, hurry up, it's okay!" Seeing that the servant was so disheartened, Mi Zhu stepped forward and helped him up.

"You dog, if I wasn't sick and unenergetic now, I would have let someone slaughter you, why are you so panicked, I don't know if I still have guests, fortunately, Brother Mizhu is his own person, if he is an outsider, what kind of system!" Su Shuangbai glanced at the servant, and said weakly, he really has no strength, and if he is a little louder, he will not be able to support it.

"Master, sister is back!" The servant knelt on the ground and quickly explained.

"What! Sister, what sister? Su Shuang couldn't believe his ears, and looked at the servant in front of him with a pair of straight eyes, expecting him to give him a positive answer, believing that if the servant's answer disappointed him at this time, he would definitely die.

"It's our sister, Sister Su!"

"Really, where is she?" It turned out that the stinky Taoist priest didn't lie to him, Xue'er was really alive.

"On the way here, I saw my sister and immediately ran over!"

"I haven't seen you for so many years, and Xue'er is not old either!" Su Shuang was secretly sad at this time, and muttered to himself: "But I haven't gotten married yet, what should I do!" ”

At this time, his mood changed from surprise to joy, and from joy to sadness, which can really be described as a mixed feeling.

"No, my sister still looks very young, as if she is still in her twenties, or even younger, like a teenager!" The servant's eyes were upward, trying to imagine what the sister would look like.

"Hu, there's no margin for sycophancy, I don't know how old my sister is!" Su Shuangwan lay down again, he had been sitting for too long just now, and now he really didn't have the strength, so he lay down again.

His eyes kept staring at the door, afraid of missing every minute and second of the moment when the father and daughter reunited, finally, he heard the footsteps, it was still so light, closer and closer, closer and closer, finally, a girl in light green clothes appeared in front of Su Shuang's eyes, that's right, she is his daughter who has not seen him for many years, it turns out that the servant did not lie, Xue'er is still so young, still so glamorous, and she is really proud to have such a daughter.

"Cher, is that you?" Su Shuang's eyes stared at Su Xue, and one hand involuntarily stretched out.

At this time, Su Xue stood at the threshold, staring at the skinny father in front of her for a long time, she couldn't believe her eyes, how could the passage of time make her father look like this, the black hair has been filled with a large number of white hairs, the originally round cheeks are now like sharp-beaked monkey gills, and a pair of eyes that almost protrude from the face are looking at herself blankly at this time.

"Daddy~" Su Xue said softly.

"Xue'er, it's really you, Xue'er~" Su Shuang's trembling hands kept reaching out to Su Xue at this time.

Su Xue burst into tears, and immediately rushed to Su Shuang's side, holding Su Shuang's hands tightly with only a layer of skin left: "Daddy, Xue'er is here, Xue'er is not filial!" ”

"Xue'er, my Xue'er, where did you go, Daddy can't stand you, Daddy shouldn't stop you and Liu Bei, Daddy can't stop you, Daddy damn it, can you forgive Daddy, Xue'er, forgive Daddy!" Su Shuang shed tears, holding Su Xue's hand, and kept crying about his past regrets for his daughter.

"Daddy, don't be like this, it's Xue'er who is unfilial!" At this point, Xue'er buried her face deep into Su Shuang's body.

"Good boy!" Su Shuang also held back his tears at this moment, maybe he couldn't cry anymore, he reached out and stroked Su Xue's hair, gently, just like the time, suddenly Su Shuang's hand stopped, his eyes looked at the roof, and his mouth was open.

Mi Zhu, who was standing on the side, looked at Su Shuang and felt that something was not right, so he approached Su Shuang, waved his hand in front of Su Shuang's open eyes, and then approached the root of Su Shuang's ear and shouted, at first it was soft, and when it felt more and more wrong, it screamed louder and louder, but Su Shuang did not react from beginning to end.

"Daddy, daddy~" Su Xue shook her father with her trembling hands, and at this moment she knew that her father had left her forever.

"Daddy~" Su Xue once again buried her head in Su Shuang's body, and Beishao cried.

Mi Zhu covered Su Shuang's eyes with his hand, and then helped Su Xue up, and then turned back to the servants on the side: "Prepare to hold a funeral for your master, go and hand over all the servants in the house!" ”

"Yes!" The servant immediately ran out.

"Xue'er, I'm Donghai Mizhu, it's your father's old friend, don't be too sad, your father's biggest wish before his death is to be able to see you again, and now that his wish has been fulfilled, I believe that under Jiuquan, he can also smile!"

"Sir, I know you, I've heard my dad say before, you are his best friend, you can come to see him during this time, thank you very much, Xue'er thank you today!" Su Xue knelt down in front of Mi Zhu after finishing.

"Oh, don't do that, get up!" Mi Zhu hurriedly helped Su Xue up, and then said: "Since you are back, there are people in your family who will cook for the future generations, and your father's inheritance is in that box, in the future, you will inherit your father's will and run the Su family's horse shop well, so that you can be worthy of your ancestors!" Mi Zhu walked to the box, patted the box with his hand, and said to Su Xue.

"Sir, forgive Xue'er for being unfilial, now Xue'er is a member of the Daomen, and the gold and silver treasures in the world are naturally nostalgic, this family property has been handed over to you to receive, so you can accept it!"

"How do you know?" Mi Zhu said in surprise at this time.

"How do you know that it doesn't matter, Xue'er only has one request, I hope Mr. will fulfill it!"

"Please!"

"Now that there is a big chaos, a group of males are rising, everyone is fighting and fighting, and it is the people who are suffering and tired, Xue'er hopes that you can sponsor a person on my behalf to help him complete the burden of Zhongxing Han and save the common people, can you agree!"

"Although I am a businessman, I also know the word righteousness, although you are, Mizhu will definitely fulfill this wish for you!"

"This person is Liu Bei of Zhuo County, and he is also a student of Teacher Lu Zhi, this person is brave and strategic, and he belongs to the Zhongxing Han family!"

"Since it is Sister Sufu's request, Mi Zhu will definitely help you, please rest assured!" Mi Zhu turned his head to look at Su Shuang and said, "Let's hold a funeral for your father, your father should be satisfied to have a daughter like you!" ”

【To Qingzhou】

Yuan Shao previously used Gongsun Chan to seize Jizhou, and then shot Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Yue when he fought for Yuzhou with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao insulted and provoked Gongsun Chan again and again, which has made Gongsun Chan unbearable for him, in the second year of the first peace, Gongsun Chan led the army to be stationed on the front line of the Panhe River, preparing to take military revenge on Yuan Shao, and was ashamed.

At this time, for Yuan Shaolai, the south had just fought with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was eyeing himself, and Cao Cao, who he sent to Yanzhou, was in the process of fighting with the invading Qingxu Yellow Turban Thieves, and the victory and defeat were not yet divided, and recently I got the news that hundreds of thousands of Qingxu Yellow Turban Thieves and Yellow Turban Army entered Kou Bohai County, preparing to unite with the Black Mountain Army in Hebei and the two states, this series of military intelligence, made Yuan Shao worried, when he learned that Gongsun Zhan became a soldier in Panhe, ready to go south, his heart almost collapsed, out of helplessness, Yuan Shao handed over his Bohai Taishou seal ribbon to Gongsun Fan, another brother of Gongsun Zhan, and asked him to serve as the Taishou of Bohai County, wanting to establish a relationship with him to see if he could persuade Gongsun Chan to stop the army and make peace.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Fan rebelled against Yuan Shao with Bohai soldiers and took refuge in Gongsun Zhan, who then joined forces with Gongsun Fan and attacked the Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves in Bohai with 20,000 troops, beheading tens of thousands of people before and after, and tens of thousands of vehicle baggage, and capturing more than 70,000 Yellow Turban soldiers. This battle made Gongsun Zhan's prestige shocked, the strength increased dramatically, Yuan Shao's jurisdiction of Jizhou also has many places to look at the wind to attach, the imperial court in order to reward Gongsun Zhan's military exploits, promoted him to be a martial general, Jin Jue as the Marquis of Ji. But at this time, Gongsun Chan obviously had no intention of serving the imperial court, and his psychological calculation was to eliminate Yuan Shao by virtue of the aftermath of victory.

Defeated the Yellow Turban Army of Qing and Xu Erzhou, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers were more vigorous, and marched to the boundary bridge in one go, he took 30,000 elite soldiers to form a phalanx, and arranged 10,000 cavalry as the left and right flanks of the phalanx, and the soldiers seemed to be unstoppable. And Yuan Shao sent the subordinate general Lu Yi, who had just been under his command, to lead 800 people, wield 1,000 crossbows, and hide behind the shield wall. Seeing that the other party was small, Gongsun Chan ordered the cavalry to charge. After they entered the firing range, the Yuan army fired ten thousand arrows, and Gongsun Zhan's cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, and they could not form an army. After that, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fought many times one after another, and each side won and lost, and the two armies entered a stalemate.

As Gongsun Zhan's other two armies, one Tian Kai's army, wanted to enter Qingzhou to contain Yuan Shao, and a single army, which wanted to enter Yanzhou, preparing to establish contact with Yuan Shu in the south and go north to eliminate Yuan Shao together.

Tian Kai and Gongsun Fan defeated the Qingxu Yellow Turban thieves in the Bohai Sea, and then led the army south to Qingzhou.

Liu Bei's army at this time was led by Guan Yu and the bow infantry, Zhang Fei led the sword infantry, and as Liu Bei's most elite Youzhou cavalry was commanded by Zhao Yun. Zhang Feiwan turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, his hand clenched the snake spear in his hand, and there was a friction sound from time to time.

"Yide, don't you know this, Gongsun Chan has sent someone to restrain us, the Youzhou cavalry is our main force, and it is also the most elite force, depriving us of the command of this cavalry, and it will be convenient for him Gongsun Chan to control us." At this time, Jian Yong sat on the horse, talking coldly, originally Zhang Fei didn't bother him at all, he felt that Zhang Fei was too vulgar, and he couldn't go with him, but this time the situation was different, everyone was unanimously facing Gongsun Zhan's aggression, and the internal contradictions would be forgotten, or they would not be so important.

"His grandmother's, a white face wants to pee on our heads, see if I don't stab him." After finishing Zhang Fei, he drank his horse and prepared to go to Zhao Yun.

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly shouted: "Yide, don't be rude, no matter what Zilong's purpose is, but he is now our brother, now we are all grasshoppers on a rope, and we want to enter Qingzhou, and the enemy we are facing is not only the Yellow Turban Thief like last time, but also the powerful Jizhou Army in the west, the Zang Hong Army in Qingzhou, the more there are so many enemies, the more we should unite." ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he pulled back the horse's head and forcibly swallowed a breath, at this time Guan Yu said: "General, this white-faced, thin-skinned and tender meat, I don't think he may have any ability, Gongsun Chan sent him over, I think he wants him to die." ”

"Haha...... Yun looks reasonable, I Zhang Fei wants to see how this white face was scared to death by the yellow turban thief, we are all people who have experienced the battlefield, it is not an exaggeration, it is also crawled out of the pile of dead people, which is like this white face, I have never fought a battle, just have a good skin, it's a pity. At this time, Zhang Fei was talking coldly, shaking his head from time to time, making a regrettable expression.

"Yun Changyide, you two are two sentences less." At this time, Liu Bei stopped, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yun riding on a white horse in the distance, at this time, Zhao Yun's thoughts were extremely complicated, what identity did Zhao Yun come this time? It is true that he was ordered by Gongsun Chan to come, but the purpose of Gongsun Chan to let him come is to monitor and restrain himself, this is actually not a question in Liu Bei's heart, what Liu Bei wants to know most at this time is what Zhao Yun thinks of Gongsun Zhan's instructions, whose team he is standing in now, who he is fighting for now, whether he is fighting for Gongsun Chan, or for himself.

"General Liu, Lord Assassin Shi has something to look for you, let you go now." Tian Kai's personal soldiers came over to spread the word that Liu Bei had made this decision in order to break away from Gongsun Zhan before, and helped Tian Kai propose to Gongsun Zhan to appoint assassins in multiple states, but now that he is out of Gongsun Zhan's base, he always feels very uncomfortable when he hears other people's names for Tian Kai.

"Okay, I know, I'll go now." Liu Bei nodded to the soldiers.

Liu Bei drank his horse and walked quickly, caught up with Tian Kai, who was swaggering and walking in front, and arched his hand: "General Tian, are you looking for me?" ”

I saw that Tian Kai heard Liu Bei's name for himself, and immediately frowned, he didn't like others to call him that way in his heart, he had worked hard to get the opportunity to be the assassin of the grain, he preferred others to call him Tian Tingshi, or Tian Qingzhou, instead of General Tian who everyone called in the past, but this kind of hard thing is not good for others to change their words to themselves, others take the initiative to call themselves, so they are happy, and forcibly let others call him, which changes the taste, and there is no sense of achievement, at this time Tian Kai said tastelessly: " Not far ahead is Pingyuan County, before the leader of the thieves Xu He led the army to occupy Pingyuan County, if you want to enter Qingzhou, you have to fight back Xu He. ”

Of course, Liu Bei knew that Xu He, he was in Gaomi County before, and he was defeated by Xu He's department, and his tactics of attacking the east and west, and the soldiers were fast and fast, and they were clearly reflected in his mind, at this time Liu Bei said: "General Tian, Xu and I have fought with him before, this time Liu Bei is willing to be a pioneer and open the way for the general." ”

"Well, there's no need, according to the scouts, the number of thieves stationed in Pingyuan County this time is about five thousand, and this time I will be the vanguard general in person, so you can be the backup." Tian Kai squinted his eyes at this time and said.

"Yes!" Liu Bei lowered his head and said.

"Do you have any thoughts on this battle?" Tian Kai turned his head and asked.

"In this battle, the general will definitely win, but Liu Bei has a suggestion, that is, don't hurt the people, the general is going to be stationed here for a long time, if you hurt the people when you first arrive, there will be endless troubles, those who win the hearts of the people will be lost, and those who lose the hearts of the people will be lost, I hope the general will consider the suggestions below!" At this time, Liu Bei said firmly.

"Well, go back and get your troops ready." Tian Kai said casually, now here, he is the supreme commander, General Gongsun is far away, and he is busy fighting with Yuan Shao's main force, how can he have the time and energy to take care of himself, therefore, he doesn't want to listen to Liu Bei's bitter talk here, and it is really uncomfortable to talk about it.

"Yes!" After finishing Liu Bei, he drank his horse and turned around to go back to mobilize the troops and horses.

Looking at Liu Bei's departing back, Tian Kai couldn't help frowning again, General Gongsun reminded himself many times to keep an eye on him at all times, I really don't know what an honest person like Liu Bei who always thinks about the common people has to take precautions, but this Liu Bei is delusional today, and he actually wants to be a pioneer and grab credit from himself. Why is General Gongsun so jealous of him, thinking about it, he is not outstanding, but he can see it by being kind-hearted, thinking about it, Tian Kai doesn't come to spy on Liu Bei, what does Liu Bei love. My task is to break into Qingzhou and make a veritable Qingzhou assassin history, oh no, I will be a Qingzhou pastor when the time comes, thinking of this, Tian Kai couldn't help but show a weird smile on his face.

"Big brother, why did you come back so soon?" Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei riding back on a horse, and asked in surprise.

"I went to discuss the battle plan just now, and after discussing it, I will naturally come back!"

"How are we going to fight?"

"No need to fight, we will be the backup, Tian Kai and they will fight, and we will watch them fight on the hillside!" Liu Bei said.

"This ...... Tian Kai is afraid that we will rob him of his credit, right? Guan Yu asked.

"Anyway, since he wants to be a pioneer, then let's just let him be a pioneer, send people under the fence, don't stick your head out!"

"Has he been able to fight, we were all defeated by them last time, Tian Kai, a mediocre man, how can he be as wise as Sichuan and them?"

"Third brother, listen to the eldest brother, if they die in battle, we will collect the corpses for them, and by the way, we will avenge them by the way, and the task of developing Qingzhou will be handed over to us, and the eldest brother will come to be the herd of Qingzhou!"

"Haha...... Good advice! Jian Yong gave Guan Yu a thumbs up, and then he turned his head to look at Liu Bei, with a solemn expression, as if he was not listening to everyone's speech.
