On the river, a large ship moved forward quickly, heading east along the river.

This big ship was taken by Wang Lei and others who left Dazhai. Wang Lei, Lu Bu and others stayed in Dazhai in Ganning for a few days, and then set off for Qu'a. The entourage was still the Xiliang soldiers and the cavalry of the Flying Tiger Battalion, but Gan Ning did not follow him, stayed in place and waited for Wang Lei to return from Qu'a, and then returned to Chang'an together.

The blue waves are rippling, and the cool breeze blows on the river, blowing away the hot summer heat.

The big ship traveled all the way east, gradually approaching Qu'a.

On August 13, Wang Lei and Lu Bu and their entourage arrived in Dantu County, which is located in the north of Qu'a, and the county order and Wu Jing, the county commander of Qu'a County, have a harmonious relationship. After Wang Lei and his party got off the boat, the county magistrate of Dantu County personally greeted Wang Lei and others, and asked them to replenish food for Wang Lei and others, and then sent Wang Lei and his party away.

……

Qu'a County, county government.

Wu Jing got the news that Wang Lei had landed in Dantu County, and immediately sent people to invite Sun Ce, Cheng Pu and others.

Soon, everyone came to the hall.

Wu Jing's eyes fell on Sun Ce's body, and said solemnly: "I just received the news from Dantu County, Wang Lei escorted Dong Zhuo's daughter Dong Yu to Dantu County, and she has already rushed to Qu'a County. Zhu Zhi has completed the marriage of Sun and Dong, and the people have arrived, and we must show enough attention in order to further let Dong Zhuo create momentum for us and make us morally active. ”

Sun Ce thought about it, had already made a decision in his heart, and said: "Uncle, in order to show my sincerity, I personally led the people to the junction of Qu'a County and Dantu County to meet the team. ”

Huang Gai said: "It's too grand for the lord to go in person, just let me go." ”

Cheng Pu said: "I agree with the lord, aside from Dong Zhuo, the people who came were Wang Lei and Lu Bu, both of whom were first-class people. Lu Bu is the first military general in the world, and Wang Lei is the pastor of Jizhou. When the tiger prison was discussing Dong, Wang Lei had a good relationship with the first lord, and the lord went to greet him in person, and he could also get closer to Wang Lei. Although Wang Lei is located in Jizhou, it is always good for the lord to make friends with Wang Lei. ”

Sun Ce nodded and said, "I agree with Cheng Gong's opinion and go to greet him in person." We need Dong Zhuo's help, and we must give enough courtesy. The more I pay attention to it, the more Dong Zhuo can pay more attention to us after Wang Lei, Lu Bu and others return. For the foundation of the Sun family, what is there for me to greet in person? That's it, I'll go in person. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Gai no longer persuaded and agreed to Sun Ce's suggestion.

Wu Jingzhen said, "Ce'er, go down and prepare." We must not only be sincere, but also show our ability. ”

"Yes!"

Sun Ce took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others and left the hall quickly. Wu Jing stared at Sun Ce's departing back, looking at his tall body, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sun Jian has such a son, and the Sun family is in charge!

Sun Ce made some preparations, left the county seat with a team of men and horses, and went straight to the junction of Dantu and Qu'a.

When they came to the junction, the soldiers stationed there reported that Wang Lei had not yet arrived.

After getting the news, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Lei has not yet arrived, so he can show sincerity and be valuable only when he greets him in person. However, Sun Ce brought people to greet him, not only to show his sincerity, but also to show his strength, let Wang Lei and Lu Bu see his strength, let Dong Zhuo know Sun Ce's value, and let Dong Zhuo spare no effort to support Sun Ce.

Therefore, Sun Ce took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, as well as 600 elite soldiers under his command. These six hundred** part are veterans who follow Sun Jian, with strong combat effectiveness and rich experience, and only a very small part are newly recruited warriors.

There are not many people in six hundred, but they are full of momentum, fierce and fierce, and exude a fierce atmosphere.

This team is a hundred elite soldiers at first glance.

Sun Ce stationed down with such a team, waiting for Wang Lei and others to arrive.

On August 19, this day, a team came to the junction of the two counties. This team is Wang Lei and his party. Wang Lei, Lu Bu and Dian Wei rode in front, and the three of them saw Sun Ce stationed at the junction, as well as the soldiers who were waiting for the battle, looked at each other, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths. Whether it is Wang Lei, or Lu Bu, or Dian Wei, they are all veterans on the battlefield.

Sun Ce's posture, although it was imposing, had almost no impact on the three of them.

The three of them looked calm and continued to move forward.

At this time, Sun Ce took the initiative to greet him. He came to the front of Wang Lei, Lu Bu and Dian Wei, turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "Sun Ce greeted Lord Wang and General Lu, the two of them came from afar, and they worked hard all the way. ”

Wang Lei smiled slightly and said, "Compared with when we met last year, the virtuous nephew has become more and more heroic. ”

Lu Bu hummed and replied politely.

Sun Ce didn't take Lu Bu's answer to heart, and Wang Lei's words made Sun Ce happy.

Wang Lei is not a few years older than Sun Ce, but Wang Lei's title made Sun Ce see the possibility of taking advantage of the situation, and said with a smile: "When I met Lord Wang last year, Lord Wang was the prime minister of Zhongshan, and now Lord Wang is in charge of Jizhou, and he is powerful and admirable." When my father was alive, he used Lord Wang to inspire me and let me follow his example. When I see Lord Wang again today, the juniors can ask Lord Wang for advice again. ”

Wang Lei smiled, and Sun Ce, a kid, also became sleek.

"Lord Wang, General Lu, please!"

Sun Ce waved his hand and motioned for Wang Lei and Lu Bu to move on.

At that moment, the procession of sending off relatives continued to move south. Sun Ce made a move, took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and the soldiers under his command, and ran towards the county seat. It's just over a day, and I've arrived in the county seat. After entering the city, the team of relatives settled Dong Yu, and Lü Bu, as the chief envoy, announced the appointment of Sun Ce as the Taishou of Wu County.

This appointment meant that Sun Ce was nominally the master of Wu County.

After everything was completed, Sun Ce entertained Wang Lei, Lu Bu and others in the county office, and informed them that they would be married on August 23.

Wang Lei, Lu Bu and others all stayed and waited to attend the wedding.

A group of people from Chang'an came to Qu'a, running around and tired, and finally could stop and rest, Wang Lei had to think about his own things along the way, so he stayed in the post house to rest.

Lu Bu took people and wandered around Qu'a.

At the end of August, it was still hot in the south, but the city was very prosperous.

The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are completely different from the vast land in the north. Lu Bu grew up in Bingzhou, he has never been to the south, the first time he came, he was extremely curious, and took his people to walk around, see the beauties of Jiangnan, and see the scenery of Jiangnan......

"Boom!!"

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out.

The lightning flashed away, and then the dark clouds converged, blocking the scorching sun in the sky.

Rumbling thunder rang out, and the sound of rain came out.

Lu Bu felt strange, this weather came too suddenly. There was a round of scorching sun on his head just now, and at this moment, it actually rained heavily. Lu Bu hurriedly led people to evade and came to a restaurant. He shook off the rain from his body, found a secluded corner and sat down, admiring the rain outside. Unlike the north, the scenery in the south is interesting, and Lu Bu sees it with relish.

"General, the environment in the south is good, the mountains are beautiful, the water is beautiful, and the people are beautiful!"

Beside Lu Bu, a young man spoke.

The young man was Lu Bu's personal soldier, and he spoke more casually.

Lu Bu flicked his sleeves, picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "You are such a rude person, you can even say beautiful things about mountains and waters, and you are not afraid of abruptly abrupt the beauties here." After a glass of wine, Lu Bu frowned slightly, and said: "Different places, the taste of the wine is also different, there is less spicy and strong taste, but the aftertaste is endless, which is not bad." ”

The heart of the soldier said, you are the same as me, you are also a rough person.

It's just that the soldiers naturally didn't dare to say it, their eyes rolled slightly, they looked at the surrounding situation, and looked at the people coming and going, with endless curiosity in their eyes.

Suddenly, the melodious and tactful sound of the hole flute came from outside the hall.

The people who walked in were one old and one young.

The old man was hunched on his back, his hair and beard were white, and he walked tremblingly and slowly. Beside the old man, there was a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, she was ordinary, but she was beautiful, with a pair of big eyes that were clear and translucent, and she was very good-looking. The two came in from outside, covered in rain and with slightly messy buns. However, the little girl looked calm, and walked forward while giving a.

This old and young are people who sell their arts.

"Old man, come over here and play a song for you!"

A young man with a pale face beckoned, this young man's eyes stared at the girl, the corners of his mouth hooked up a yin-evil smile, and a touch of ** appeared in his eyes.

The old man and the maiden walked over and bowed.

The old man smiled and asked slowly, "Childe, what tune do you want to listen to?" ”

"Whatever!"

The young man's eyes stared at the girl, and the girl shivered with fright.

"Blow, blow, hum!"

The young man snorted, and the girl adjusted her mood and gave a slowly. A melodious song began to echo in the lobby, the sound was pleasant, as if in a water town, misty and rainy, fragrant grass, quite interesting.

"It's so good, it's good, it's good, follow Childe and blow it at home."

The young man stretched out his hand and took the girl in his arms, and his hand was restless and caressing the girl's cheek.

The old man hurriedly said: "Childe, no, no!" ”

The girl's face was frightened and she began to struggle. The more intense she struggled, the more excited the young man became, and said, "I just like this kind of chick, it has a taste of strength and taste, and it is mouth-watering." Give this old man a thousand dollars, and I bought this woman. ”

"A thousand dollars, enough to be arrogant! I'll pay 10,000 dollars. Suddenly, a majestic voice came out, and said loudly: "I will pay 10,000 yuan to let this grandson play a song!" ”

There was a lot of pride in his tone.

The person who spoke was Lu Bu, who was born in poverty and was most unaccustomed to such things.

"Let go!"

Lu Bu got up and walked over, standing in front of the young man, his eyes fierce and with a strong murderous aura.

The young man was just a wine-colored man, he couldn't withstand the oppression of Lu Bu's momentum, his face was even pale, his hand trembled, and he let go of the girl in his arms. The girl was like a frightened fawn, and hurriedly hid behind the old man.

The young man relieved himself, the arrogance in his bones exploded, he stood up, and said arrogantly: "I am Yan Baihu's day Yan Xiong, acquaintance, get out of the restaurant immediately, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried." ”
