Qingzhou and Xuzhou border.

Yuan Tan led his army to camp here for several days.

The sky was full of haze, and standing in the barracks, Yuan Tan didn't feel very cold.

"It's going to snow!" Simbi came behind him.

Looking at the sky, Yuan Tan said, "Yes, another year has passed!" ”

"No news of the fifth prince yet?" Simbi asked.

Yuan Tan shook his head.

Yuan Xu rushed to Xuzhou for more than half a month.

The road from Xuzhou to Qingzhou was also completely blocked by Cao's army.

The scouts sent out must avoid Cao Jun's eyes.

It's no surprise that no news has ever been returned.

The wind was colder than before, and Yuan Tan felt a cold fall on his face.

Stretching out his palm, a few snowflakes fell on his palm.

"It's snowing,......" Yuan Tan said, "If Xianxin doesn't return, the road will be difficult." ”

"Is the eldest son worried about the fifth son?" Simbi asked.

Yuan Tan did not respond.

There are eight brothers of the Yuan family in Hebei.

Except for Yuan Maishang, who was still in infancy, most of the others were attached to Yuan Shang, and only Yuan Xu was close to him.

How could he not worry about this brother?

A fast horse braved the wind and snow to come from a distance.

"Enlightened eldest son!" After entering the barracks, the knight jumped off his horse and ran quickly in front of Yuan Tan: "The fifth prince picked up Liu Bei and is about to enter Qingzhou." ”

"How's it going?" Yuan Tan hurriedly asked, "Can you fight with Cao Jun?" ”

"There was no fight!" The knight replied.

Withdrawing from the knight, Yuan Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Xu only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses into Xuzhou, and what he was most worried about was once he started a fight with Cao's army. It's hard to get out of it.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have personally led his army to meet him.

Yuan Xu led the team. It has also arrived at the junction of Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

The wind is getting stronger and the snow is getting heavier and heavier.

Against the wind and snow. Yuan Xu shouted: "Speed up, once the road is closed by heavy snow, it will be even more difficult!" ”

The two thousand Yuan troops quickened their pace.

Riding a horse behind Yuan Xu, Liu Mian leaned his neck coldly.

Liu Bei glanced at her and frowned.

Finding that Liu Bei's face was not good, Liu Mian hid behind Yuan Xu.

Glancing at her, Yuan Xu said: "Envoy, there is a certain word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Childe just speaks bluntly."

"Make Jun enter Qingzhou. It shouldn't take long to get to Yecheng. Yuan Xu said: "It is inconvenient for the young lady to accompany her. ”

Glaring at Liu Mian, Liu Bei snorted coldly.

Liu Mian shrunk his neck, not daring to look at him more.

"I am thinking, I can send the young lady to Penglai for the time being." Yuan Xu said: "Penglai is a certain territory, although it belongs to Qingzhou, it is overseas. Cao Jun fought for the Central Plains and had no time to take care of the overseas islands, and the young lady could also settle down safely if she went. ”

"What Childe said is very true, but it is a lot of trouble."

"It doesn't matter." Yuan Xu smiled slightly, turned back to Meng Tai who was following behind him and said, "You will lead more than a dozen people and escort the young lady to Penglai." ”

"Now?" Meng Tai was stunned.

"Now!" Yuan Xu nodded.

Give the order. Meng Tai said to Liu Mian: "Miss, please!" ”

Glancing at Yuan Xu gratefully, Liu Mian followed Meng Tai out of the team and headed east.

Watching Liu Mian's back. The corners of Zhang Fei's mouth hooked up a smile.

She went to Penglai, and it will not be easy for Yuan Xu to want her to leave in the future.

Liu Bei's face sank like water.

He knew very well why Yuan Xu took Liu Mian away.

Yuan Xu took Liu Bei back to Qingzhou, and Cao Cao also took the class from Xuzhou.

At this time, Jiangdong was in chaos.

Sun Quan took over Jiangdong. Some subordinates thought something was wrong and refused to obey orders.

Sun Wei mobilized troops and horses to seize Huiji. Li Shu and others also disobeyed Sun Quan.

Zhou Yu, who was guarding Baqiu, got the news and returned to Wu County with his troops. Cooperate with Zhang Zhao to stabilize the situation.

Lü Fan rushed back from Poyang to help stabilize Jiangdong.

Cheng Pu and other Jiangdong veterans led the army to recruit those who doubted Sun Quan's takeover.

Returning to Wu County, Zhou Yu took over the defense, and although he did not arrest the subordinates who disobeyed Sun Quan in the city, he strengthened his control over the words, deeds, and actions of the Jiangdong subordinates.

Zhou Yu's mansion in Wu County.

In the pavilion in the back garden sat a white-robed young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old.

On the low table in front of the young man was a yaoqin.

Ten fingers caress the strings, the fairy sound lingers in the pavilion, and the music he plays is magnificent and soft.

The young man's facial features are delicate and his skin is fair, and wearing a white robe makes him a little more free and easy.

On the bluestone path outside the pavilion, a girl wearing a plain gauze skirt walked.

The girl is only sixteen or seventeen years old, the wind stirs the skirt, and she is like a fairyland Su'e in a light stroll, and her gestures are quiet and elegant.

"Zhou Lang!" On the pavilion, the girl softly greeted the young man in white.

The young man in white was Zhou Yu who had just returned from Baqiu.

He stopped stroking the qin, smiled indifferently and said, "It's winter, Qing is not in the house to bake the fire, what are you doing here?" ”

Ying Ying smiled, and the girl said: "Zhou Lang knows that he is still here to play the piano in winter, why don't he know how to take care of his own body?" ”

Sitting next to Zhou Yu, the girl took his hand and put it on her beautiful cheek: "Your hand is cold, it's better for Zhou Lang to go back to the room." ”

The girl holding Zhou Yu's hand was his wife Xiao Qiao.

The back of the hand was attached to Xiao Qiao's face, and the silky smoothness penetrated into every pore through the palm, making Zhou Yu feel very good.

"Zhang Zibu will come later." Zhou Yu said: "A certain is waiting for him." ”

"Zhou Lang returned to Wu County and only cared about transferring troops and horses to stabilize the situation, don't you feel that things here are a little strange?" Warming his hand with his cheek, Little Joe asked softly.

"What's weird?"

"General Sun is not without a queen." Xiao Qiao said: "Why is it a brother inheriting a brother's business? ”

"Zhongmou is a stable person, and it is perfect to inherit Jiangdong!" Zhou Yu said: "The general's son is still young, if he inherits Jiangdong, will no one be dissatisfied?" ”

"Those who take advantage of the situation are not loyal to Bo Fu, they just want to get a piece of the pie from Bo Fu's death." Zhou Yu said: "How can they succeed? ”

Smiled sweetly, Xiao Qiao didn't say anything more.

Zhou Yu is very smart, how can he not see what she can see?

"A certain has been a friend of Bo Fu for many years." Speaking of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu looked a little lonely: "Bo Fu is powerful, there are few rivals in the world, and I don't want to die in the hands of Xiao Xiao." ”

Xiao Qiao said: "General Sun has made immortal achievements in pacifying Jiangdong, but it's a pity that the concubine is a sister, and now the orphans and widows have no support." ”

"Xiao Qiao cherishes Mrs. Bofu, and she often walks around!"

While the husband and wife were talking, a maid hurriedly came to the outside of the pavilion: "General, Zhang Junshi asks to see you." ”

Inheriting Jiangdong, Sun Quan proclaimed himself a general of the chariot cavalry, and Zhang Zhaobai was a military advisor.

Knowing that he had come to ask for a meeting, Zhou Yu ordered: "Please! ”

"Zhou Lang has important tasks, and the concubine retires!" Xiao Qiao got up and bowed to Zhou Yu.

Returning the salute, Zhou Yu watched Xiao Qiao leave.

Xiao Qiao's figure disappeared at the intersection, and the maid led Zhang Zhao towards the pavilion. (To be continued.) )
