Section 1: The Resolute
"The 'horn' sound slipped up to the 'palace' sound, and the 'palace' sound slipped to the 'yu' sound one after another...... "In Chang'an City, outside Wang Yun's mansion, under the sour jujube tree, a melodious jade flute sound, cutting through the silent sky in the afternoon, straight to the heart of the person who longs for it." The name of this piece of music is called "Ruthless Song".
When she was young, a brightly dressed and lovely woman finally stepped on the moving melody and walked to the bottom of the sour jujube tree. This woman is the daughter of Wang Yun's family, Wang Qian.
When Wang Qian came, the boy was facing away from her. She didn't know how to face the child, and she didn't want to break this moving moment, so she closed her eyes and tried to experience the many bitterness in the child's heart from the music. The boy heard footsteps behind him, but he played as before. In his heart, he wanted to shake Wang Qian's original heart through this "Ruthless Song".
In the incomparably poignant melody, Wang Rui's heart can't help but be disintegrated and dissolved. For a moment, Wang Rui thought about compromise. However, when the music stopped, she gradually regained her senses, but she only left everything about the right talent as Nanke's dream.
At the end of the song, the boy crossed to the jade flute, turned around and walked to her, and said, "Rui'er, come with me, okay?" ”
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then Fang looked up into the child's eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I can't go with you." ”
"Why?"
"Because, because I really like Lu Bu."
At this moment, the boy was like a bronze sculpture, silently frozen in place. I don't know how long it took for the corners of his mouth to gradually twitch a little, and he snorted: "You, you, do you really like Lu Bu?" ”
"Yes! I have never loved you, and my feelings for you have always been just appreciation, but unfortunately it wasn't until I met Lu Bu that I was able to see through my heart. ”
These extremely piercing words shattered the last hope of the son. From this moment on, he no longer had any illusions about Wang Qian. However, he can't feel hatred for the people he once loved. What he has in his heart is now only endless pain and a mission. With tears in his eyes, he replied, "May you be well," and rode on a horse beside the jujube tree, intending to escape from this sad place as soon as possible. When his figure suddenly disappeared at the end of the road, Wang Qian's pale face was instantly swept away by tears, poetizing a poignant parting. She groaned, "Don't be embarrassed under the thorns, worry." May you be discouraged, and don't be discouraged. ”
When he was young, the son finally rushed to the east gate of Chang'an. At the castle wall, there were more than 30 people, riding on horses, waiting for his arrival. These more than 30 people, including men and women, old and young, people in brocade clothes and fine clothes, and people with coarse linen and kudzu cloth, after they turned, they ran straight to Luoyang.
Since Lu Bu defeated Luoyang, Dong Zhuo has realized the strength of the Sun family's army, and as the saying goes: "It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them." Dong Zhuo could not defeat his opponent from the war, so he had to find another way to deal with the enemy.
It was the twenty-first day of February. Outside Luoyang City, in Sun Jian's camp, a general named Dong Zhuo named Li Dao was holding a beautiful square box and negotiating with the guards of the Sun family: "I am the envoy of the Han court, and I came here on behalf of Dong Xiang. ”
"Dong thief, phew!" The guards were dismissive.
Li Dao pulled out his sword and pointed at the guard: "With you being a guard, you dare to compete with me." ”
"Someone, someone broke into the camp."
Under the shouts of the guards, a group of soldiers immediately arrived, drew their swords and confronted each other, saying, "Put your sword down." ”
When the two sides were at a stalemate, Sun Ce, as the young master, happened to pass through here. He stepped forward and said, "Who is making a noise here?" ”
"See the young master." The soldiers put away their swords and bowed.
"I've seen the little general." Li Dao put away his sword and said, "My name is Li Dao, I am an envoy of the Han Court, and I came to meet Ling Zun on the order of Prime Minister Dong. ”
Sun Ce said, "Come with me", and took him to his father's camp.
At this moment, Sun Jian was sitting in front of the table. Li Daozuo said, "I've seen the envoy", then put the square box on the table, and said, "This is a gift from Dong Xiang to the general." ”
Sun Jian opened the box, and a fist-sized night pearl appeared in front of him. Night pearls of this quality, rummaging through the entire Han court, it is difficult to find anything else.
"Selfless dedication and diligence, either treachery or theft." Sun Jian said, "Why did Dong Zhuo send you?" ”
Li Dao took out a roll of rice paper from his sleeve, put it on Sun Jian's desk, and said, "The general opens it and takes a look." ”
Sun Jian took off the seal, opened the scroll, and saw a portrait of a girl. Judging from the painting, this girl was born very beautifully, and her age was about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"The rice paper is brand new, and the ink leaves an aftertaste, which is not a relic of the previous dynasty; The style of painting is heavy and colorful, and the lack of pen power is not a master's handwriting. Sun Jian said, "What does this mean?" ”
Li Wei replied, "This is the daughter of Dong Xiang", and then looked at Sun Ce and said, "Young General, what do you think of Miss Dong?" ”
"It's beautiful." Sun Ce said.
"If it's a major general, I don't know if you're willing?"
When we are young, we tend to run away from it, or we don't know what our deepest feelings are. For this reason, we are often foolish. But thankfully, there is a name, and it's called Choice. When faced with a choice, the first person or thing that comes to mind is the truest portrayal of the heart. He replied: "I already have someone else in my heart, and I will never marry this Miss Dong." ”
Li Dao shook his head and said with a smile: "A major event in life, I'm afraid I can't help the little general." ”
"Of course." Sun Jian said.
Why is that? Could it be that Miss Dong is ugly and unworthy of the young general? Li Dao said.
"This girl is very lovely, if she wasn't the daughter of Dong Thief, I might consider matching Yu Ce'er. It's a pity that this general is loyal to the Han family and does not want to be with the Han thieves. Sun Jian said, "Tell Dong Thief that the battle of Luoyang is inevitable, and if he is interested, don't use such crooked thoughts again." ”
"The general's words are wrong!" Li Wei retorted, "Today, when the heroes rise together and the princes are respected, the Han royal family has long been in decline. As the saying goes: 'If a man is not for himself, heaven and earth will perish.' Why should the general risk his future to accompany the Han family to the funeral? ”
After saying this, Li Dao paused for a moment, and when Sun Jian saw that he was no longer speechless, he asked, "Can you finish speaking?" ”
"No!" Li Dao said excitedly, "The general has a good way of governing the army and advancing and retreating, which can be described as a rare handsome talent; The major general bravely crowned the three armies and had an extraordinary bearing, which can be described as one of the best generals in a thousand. If the two join forces with Dong Xiang, the future of the Han Dynasty will definitely be jointly ruled by the general and Dong Xiang. ”
"The heart of loyalty and conscience can not be known to such villains."
"Sun Jian, don't be ignorant."
"Come on, drive Li Dao out."
"Don't work hard, I'll go by myself."
Speaking of me, Li Dao picked up the night pearl and the portrait, and strode towards the outside of the camp. Before going out, Sun Jian stopped him and said, "Tell Dong Zhuo: Within ten days, Luoyang will be broken." ”
In this regard, Li Dao only left the next sentence "You wait for me", and left with his sleeves brushed up.
Sun Jian stared at his back and muttered, "If you hadn't come in the name of a messenger, you would have been in a different place by now." ”
Sun Ce called out "Father" and said, "Can you really attack the city in ten days?" ”
Sun Jian replied with a "hmm": "Of course." ”
"Now, our army has been working for a long time, and the siege equipment is insufficient, why not recuperate for the time being and delay the siege for a while?"
As soon as Sun Ce's words fell, Sun Jian smiled "hehe", picked up a letter and said: "When my son looks at it, he will know it." ”
Sun Ce took the letter, only to see that it read: "The siege equipment is on the way, and it is expected to arrive within ten days." "At the end of the letter, it is the word Yuan Shu.
"Can the siege be delayed for two more days?" Sun Ce said.
"Why?"
"When the time comes, my father will know for himself."
Sun Jian saw that his son didn't seem to be making fun or joking, so he knew that there must be a mystery in it, so he accommodated him.
