After a whole night of running, Zu Mao finally saw the word "East Gate" hanging high on Liangdong City the next day.

At this moment, Zu Mao suddenly heard the sound of iron hooves behind him, judging from Zu Mao's many years of experience in battle, a mile away, when four people rode horses.

When he was young, three men and one woman rode horses to catch up.

Of these three men, one has a crown of jade, one has a beautiful beard, and one has a full beard. Although they are thousands of miles apart in appearance, they are all around thirty years old. As for the woman who accompanied her, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and according to common sense, she should have been the daughter of one of the men.

The man with a jade face, seeing that Zu Mao was wearing armor, said: "Dare to ask this general, the city in front of him is called Liangdong?" ”

"Exactly." Zu Mao said, "What, the four of you are going to Liangdong?" ”

"Yes, go to Liangdong to find Sun Ce." The bearded man said.

When Zu Mao heard the man's words, he dared to be disrespectful to the young master, so he put on a straight face and said, "General Sun Xiao's name is also what you can call at will?" ”

"My third brother is a rough man, if there is any offense in his words, I hope the general will not blame." The man with a jade face said, "My name is Liu Bei, the one with the long beard is my second brother Guan Yu, and the reckless and rude one is my third brother Zhang Fei." We went to Liangdong to join the coalition and discuss Dong Yiju together. ”

"It turned out to be Uncle Liu Huang, disrespectful, disrespectful!" Zu Mao said, "My name is Zu Mao, I am the captain of the Sun family's army, if the emperor is not afraid of being a lowly official, he is willing to protect everyone's position." ”

"Then there will be labor." Liu Bei said.

Zu Mao said, "Uncle Huang is polite", looked at the woman on the side, and said, "This young lady, but where is Uncle Huang's pearl?" ”

"General Zu said with a smile, how could Liu bring his family to the war!" Liu Bei said, "We are Pingshui and we meet together. ”

Zu Mao said: "Dare to ask Miss's name and surname? ”

The woman glanced at him and said, "Ask your father-in-law." ”

"What is your relationship with your lord?"

"Although it doesn't matter now, it's hard to say in the future."

The woman's fascinating answer made Zu Mao wonder, "Could it be that she is the illegitimate daughter of the lord?" Or the mistress of the lord? ”

As the saying goes, "Don't make a family ugly." Due to the presence of Liu Bei and the others, Zu Mao was inconvenient to ask again, so he took the woman back to Liangdong together. At this time, Sun's father and son were in the camp of Shuai, discussing the next battle strategy. The moment Zu Mao entered the door, Sun Jian couldn't help but step forward, hugged him tightly, and said, "Good brother, you are still alive, the sky really has eyes, the sky has eyes!" ”

The moment the woman entered the door, Sun Ce went straight to her without a word and said, "Why are you here!" ”

When Sun Jian saw it, he was also shocked: "It's you!" ”

"Could it be that you are really ......" The abnormal behavior of the Sun father and son made Zu Mao more and more suspicious. For the sake of face, he and Liu Bei said: "Three, my lord has something to do now, why don't we go out and wait for the time being, how about it?" ”

Before Liu Bei could answer, the woman said, "Shu'er has seen Uncle Sun." ”

Hearing the words "Uncle Sun", Zu Mao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Who are you?" ”

"I am Yuan Shao's eldest daughter, and my name is Yuan Shu."

"Since you are the daughter of the alliance leader, why didn't you say it early in the morning?" Zu Mao Road.

Yuan Shu sighed "sighing" and said: "When you go out, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, if you meet a family enemy, wouldn't you be asking for trouble if you repay your family?" ”

"Then why do you make a fool of me?" Zu Mao muttered.

Yuan Shu covered his face and said with a smile: "If I don't say that, can you easily let go of my ears?" ”

Subsequently, Zu Mao introduced Liu Bei and others to Sun Jian. The Sun father and son had heard of Liu Bei's prestige, but in the spirit of "hearing is false, seeing is believing", Sun Jian still took them to the school and said: "Zu Mao, you go to learn from Guan and Zhang, and see if you are qualified to serve as a school captain." ”

"Yes." Zu Mao walked up to the school and said, "Who will come first?" ”

Zhang Fei patted his chest and stepped forward: "I'll come." ”

"On the martial arts field, the point is up," Sun Jian said, "Are you ready?" ”

"Ready."

"The joust begins!"

With Sun Jian's order, Zhang and Zu scuffled together. Under Zhang Fei's powerful heavy punch, Zu Mao has been at a disadvantage since the beginning of the wrestling. After dozens of rounds, Zu Mao finally couldn't hold it anymore and was defeated.

Sun Jian couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart when he saw that his subordinates were beaten so much that he didn't even have the strength to fight back. In order to save face, Sun Jian did not hesitate to sacrifice a killer weapon and said: "Ce'er, you go and try." ”

"Nonsense!" Maybe she didn't know much about Sun Ce, or maybe she thought Zhang Fei was too powerful, and before Sun Ce could reply, Yuan Shu on the side rushed to say, "At such a young age, how can Bo Fu compete with a group of uncles!" Even if Bo Fu loses, the winner will bully the small! ”

"Shu'er don't worry, I'll never be fine." Sun Ce said, "You may not have heard of it, but I have a nickname called Little Overlord. ”

"Miss Yuan, don't worry, you haven't seen the ability of the young master of my family!" Zu Mao Road.

"Be careful, I'm sure you can win." Yuan Shu said.

This short sentence, in Sun Ce's heart, is the source of strength, he with full confidence, stood opposite Zhang Fei and said: "Do it!" ”

"Wait!" Guan Yu said, "Third brother, you are tired of fighting, let the second brother come to this competition." ”

"Second brother, I haven't fought enough!" Zhang Fei refused to get out. In the end, it was Liu Bei's sentence "Third brother, don't mess around" that drove Zhang Fei off the field.

Liu and Guan, the reason why they didn't let Zhang Fei fight again was because they were afraid that Zhang Fei would be reckless, and he didn't know the severity of his shot, and accidentally injured Sun Ce.

"The joust begins!" With Sun Jian's order, this competition kicked off. Sun Ce and Guan Yu are not as anxious as Zhang Fei and Zu Mao. They greeted each other and saluted, and Guan Yu immediately said: "Sun Gongzi, seeing that you are young, let you make three moves, let's do it." ”

"Does Mr. Guan look down on me?" Sun Ce said, "I don't need you to let me, let's do it." ”

After speaking, Sun Ce punched Guan Yu. Guan Yu didn't know that Sun Ce was powerful, so he used about thirty percent of his strength to take Sun Ce's heavy punch. The moment the two of them touched each other, Guan Yu couldn't help but be rushed back a few steps by this powerful fist. I saw Guan Yu's arm trembling from this solid punch. This is the first time that Guan Yu, who is arrogant by nature, has paid the price of underestimating the enemy in the martial arts ring. Fortunately, Sun Ce did not exert his full strength, otherwise Guan Yu's palm might have broken his muscles and bones.

"That's a lot of energy!" Guan Yu secretly thought to himself. He shook his hand and met the enemy with all his might, and they fought hundreds of rounds without being able to tell the winner.

If you talk about wrestling alone, among the three brothers, Guan Yu should be respected, and there are few rivals in the world today. Guan Yu, who was so invincible, was so tightly fought by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, which couldn't help but surprise Liu and Zhang, who were watching the battle: "What a fierce boy!" ”

Although Yuan Shu couldn't see the doorway in the wrestling, he saw that the two sides had fought for hundreds of rounds, and he silently calculated in his heart: "I don't want Bo Fu to have such a ability!" ”

Then, there was another 100-round battle, and the two sides were still deadlocked. Bucket beads of sweat swept across the cheeks of the two and quietly soaked the plackets. Seeing this, Sun Jian knew that both of them were exhausted, so he stood on the school floor and announced: "There is no winner or loser in the competition. ”

When they left the school grounds, they went to the handsome camp to talk. On the way, Yuan Shu said: "You have something to talk about again, so I won't bother." After speaking, she pulled the corner of Sun Ce's clothes again.

"I have some personal matters, so I won't accompany you." Sun Ce said.

Sun Jian glanced at them and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Lord, the soldiers defending the city have come to report ......" Zu Mao muttered a few words to Sun Jian, and left quickly.

Entering the handsome camp, Sun Jian and Sanjie sat down on their knees and said, "The three of them have immortal talents, why don't they go to serve the great princes of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but want to be with Sun?" ”

"Among the princes of the coalition army, those who really sent troops to fight against Dong are there any others except the envoy and Cao Gong?" Liu Bei said.

"What do you want to do?" Sun Jian said.

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as I can contribute to the fight against Dong, I will wait for Gan to be a pawn before the battle." ”

"Uncle Huang can sacrifice himself for the country, which is really the great hardship of the country! If everyone in the Han Dynasty is the generation of the emperor's uncle, why not worry about the Han family! Sun Jian said, "Feng Liu Bei is the military advisor, Guan Yu is the left pioneer, and Zhang Fei is the right pioneer." ”

On the streets of Liangdong, Sun Ce and Yuan Shu were strolling north.

"Shu'er, why did you come with Liu Bei and the others?" Sun Ce said, "You are here, can Ling Zun know?" ”

"Some time ago, I heard that you defeated Dong Jun in Liangdong, I wanted to come here with my father to say goodbye, but my father did not allow it, so I left a letter, brought Shangchuan Zi, and rode here alone. When passing through Bianshui, I happened to meet Liu Bei and others, and saw that their character was valuable, so I walked with them. ”

"Shu'er came from thousands of miles to congratulate, quite a bit of a sage."

Yuan Shu frowned, and said with a long "um": "The Book of Songs: Shuoren", can Bo Fu recognize it?" If I compare myself to Zhuang Jiang, what do I think? ”

"I don't know." Sun Ce said, "I don't read much on weekdays, and even if I do, I mostly use military and political works such as "No Clothes" and "Yellow Bird", as for "Shuoren", I really haven't heard of it. ”

Yuan Shu snorted and said with a straight face: "Play the piano to the cow." ”

Due to family factors, Sun Ce's normal life is to bury his head in the military camp and make friends with heroes. Sun Ce didn't know anything about the woman's heart, and he couldn't help asking, "Can Shu'er teach me?" ”

Yuan Shu threw down the sentence "Forget it" and left.

Sun Ce followed closely and said, "What's the matter, isn't it just a poem?" Even if I don't know, Shu'er can teach me, why should I be so angry? ”

Yuan Shu sighed, stopped and said, "How can I teach you this kind of poetry!" ”

Sun Ce stopped and said, "Why can't you teach? ”

"Don't ask." She blushed, turned her head shyly, and said, "Shame on the dead." ”

"Why is it a shame?" Sun Ce muttered.

At this moment, a man on a horse suddenly came from the north and said, "This little general, from here all the way to the south, can you go to Jingzhou?" ”

Sun Ce saw that the man's hair was dyed with snow, and he seemed to be older than his father, so he said, "Uncle is going to Jingzhou?" ”

The man glanced back at his back and said, "If you don't go to Jingzhou, you really go from Jingzhou to Jiangdong!" ”

Sun Ce followed the man's gaze and saw hundreds of servants on foot, accompanied by dozens of horses galloping.

"Does the old man want to move his family to Jiangdong?" Sun Ce said.

"Not bad." The man replied.

"Uncle is Zhang Hong, Zhang Zigang?" Yuan Shu said.

"How does Miss know Zhang?"

"Uncle Zhang, the little girl is Yuan Shao's daughter-Yuan Shu."

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Shu'er. After many years, Shu'er has grown so big. ”

Yuan Shu replied with an "um", that is, he took Sun Ce's hand and said: "His name is Sun Ce, some time ago, he defeated Hu Zhen and captured Liangdong. ”

Zhang Hongzuo said: "The little general is young, and he can lead the army to defeat the enemy alone, he is really a young hero!" ”

"The old man has an overreputation." Sun Ce also saluted, "If the old man doesn't dislike it, please stop there, and do your best to be a landlord." ”

"It's a hurry, you don't have to be a guest, if you have a fate, you will meet in Jiangdong in the future and say goodbye!"

"Uncle, let's go."

After Zhang Hong left, Sun Ce completely forgot about "Shuoren", so he talked about Zhang Hong with Yuan Shu. At the beginning, Yuan Shu was still patient and chatted briefly with Sun Ce, but the longer it was, the more she pouted and frowned: "Sun Bofu, you are enough!" I've come all the way here, am I talking to you about others? After speaking, Yuan Shu pulled his legs and left.

Sun Ce chased two steps, and suddenly heard the sound of iron hooves behind him shouting: "Little general, there is your letter." ”

Sun Ce stopped and said, "Present it." ”

As soon as Yuan Shu turned around, he found that Sun Ce had not followed, so he became more and more resentful, so he ran to the south of the city. Sun Ce read the letter and sent the messenger, only to find that Yuan Shu was long gone.

"Shu'er! Shu'er! ”

The distant call echoed on the mottled long street, but it could not be corresponding; In the midst of the panicked steps, there were exquisite Lantian Pei, but they could not be paired. Sun Ce searched for more than ten miles to the south, and finally found Yuan Shu by a pond in the city: "Abominable Sun Bofu!" Nasty, hate, hate! ”

Sun Ce not only did not coax her, but reasoned with her: "Shu'er, what did I do wrong?" ”

Yuan Shu didn't want to quarrel with Sun Ce, but he couldn't calm the grievances in his heart, so he had to throw down the sentence "You didn't do anything wrong, I was wrong", and turned his back to Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce heard this, he still reasoned with him: "As a general of the first army, it is really helpless to be entangled in military affairs, even if you are snubbed because of this, why should you be angry?" ”

Yuan Shu glanced at Sun Ce, and gasped: "Yes, I shouldn't be angry, it's all my fault." ”

Just when the two were competing with each other and no one was willing to back down, a team of heavily armed cavalry found Sun Ce and Yuan Shu in front of them. When Sun Ce heard the chaotic sound of iron hooves, he thought that there was another military affair to deal with, but when he looked up at the cavalry, he regretted not arguing with her in the first place. Because the leader of this cavalry team is her father, Yuan Shao.

"The city gate is guarded by soldiers, no orders are allowed, no one is allowed to pass, how did the alliance leader enter?" Sun Ce said.

"It was your father who let me in, the military order passed down by Zu Mao." Yuan Shao said, "Girl, are you crazy enough?" If you are crazy enough, you will go back with your father. ”

"I, I don't want to go back."

Yuan Shao said, "I can't help you", so he picked up his daughter on horseback and forcibly took her away.

At this time, Sun Ce was so eager to keep Yuan Shu, but he couldn't find a single reason to convince others, so he had to watch Yuan Shu's back getting farther and farther away.
