At the north gate of Jingzhou, when Liu Bei led the army to arrive, Liu Biao led a group of confidants and civil and military personnel to personally go out of the north gate to greet him.

This treatment is not ordinary, and it is a bit too grand.

Liu Bei's heart was not trembling, and he rolled off the horse from afar, and rushed over quickly, more than ten steps away, like Liu Biao fell to the ground, and said in a panic: "How can you prepare for it, Brother An is so courteous!" ”

"Xuande, please get up!"

Liu Biao took two quick steps, stepped forward to help Liu Bei, looked at it carefully, and saw Liu Bei's sincere fear, he couldn't help but be very satisfied, and said happily: "Today's chaos, the emperor's unification is lost, and the society is overturned, you and I are both relatives of the Han family, since we should tie the knot with each other, and prosper the Han family together, come and come, I and Xuande will introduce me to Jingzhou talents!" ”

Liu Bei was humble, and under Liu Bei's recommendation, he greeted a group of Jingzhou talents.

Finding that the Jingzhou Shi clan was not so enthusiastic about themselves, they became even more humble and completely lowered their posture.

When it was time to enter the city, he had the opportunity to introduce Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong and others to Liu Biao and the Jingzhou scholars.

Liu Biao obviously didn't care much about Jian Yong and Guan Zhang, and casually dealt with it.

Although Guan and Zhang have a reputation when they ask for the yellow scarf, that reputation is no different from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and a grass-headed common man for people like Liu Biao, and it is already very face-saving to be able to praise 'true warriors'.

As for the Jingzhou Shi clan, they didn't even bother to open their mouths, they just nodded.

Zhang Fei saw that the eldest brother had to pay for his smiling face every time, but the Jingzhou scholars were lukewarm, so he couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, so he simply didn't look over. lest he can't help but have a seizure and cause trouble for his brother again.

Guan Yu was also very unhappy. But he didn't dare to write his face on his face, and followed Liu Bei expressionlessly.

into the city. Liu Biao had a big banquet to wash the dust for Liu Bei.

The silk and bamboo are melodious, and the sheng is ringing in unison.

In the midst of the dance music, a team of dancers jumped in and presented a graceful dance.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he applauded again and again, but his eyes were deep but there was a trace of depression and helplessness.

Yang Guang Tao is obscure, and the ugly thing to say is to pretend to be stupid.

Liu Bei didn't want to, but he had to do it. so as not to arouse the suspicion of Liu Biao and the Jingzhou scholars.

During the banquet, the cups were pushed and changed, and the atmosphere was very warm.

When the banquet was about to end, a small official hurriedly walked up to the hall, bypassed the side door, and walked directly to Liu Biao's side and whispered a few words in his ear. ”

"It's true!"

The little official nodded hurriedly, his face very solemn.

Liu Biao waved his hand. The little official hurriedly retreated.

Kuai Yue saw that Liu Biao's face was ugly, and he knew that something big had happened, so he hurriedly waved away the song and dance girl.

The hall soon fell silent, and everyone looked at Liu Biao. I don't know what happened.

Liu Bei was also secretly speculating, not knowing what was so ugly and ugly.

But it won't be a good thing to think about, otherwise Liu Biao would have laughed a long time ago.

The feast ended quickly. Liu Bei and the others were arranged to rest in a separate courtyard.

I didn't think it would take about half an hour before someone came to tell me. said that Liu Biao invited him to discuss important matters.

Liu Bei guessed in his heart and followed the little official to another courtyard.

into the inner hall. I saw that not only Liu Biao was there, but Kuai Yue, Han Song, Huang Zu and others were also there.

"I don't know what my brother is calling, what do you command?"

Liu Bei hurriedly arched his hand and glanced at everyone quietly.

Liu Biao's brows furrowed tightly, and after motioning for Liu Bei to sit down, he said: "Changsha is in a hurry, Changsha is too shou Zhang envy the rebellion of the three counties of Chang'an, Lingling, and Guiyang, and the people of Jingzhou are in danger of falling to the county, hey!" ”

"This ......"

Liu Bei was taken aback, but he didn't say anything, he had already guessed Liu Biao's intentions.

Sure enough, I listened to Liu Biaodao: "Xuande begged for the Yellow Turban in the past, and he made many achievements on the battlefield, and the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command are all warriors who can fight well, I don't know if I can fight for me to quell the rebellion in the three counties of Jingzhou to calm the people?" ”

Liu Bei's mind turned sharply, knowing that Liu Biao was trying to test himself, although this matter was dangerous, but if it was done well, it would have great benefits, and he immediately said: "If my brother does not give up, I am willing to lead the soldiers and horses of my headquarters to serve my brother!" ”

Liu Biao's expression suddenly relaxed, and he laughed: "Xuande is a true righteous man!" ”

Danyang, the north gate of Wanling.

The scorching sun was high, and the people were waiting in long lines to enter the city.

At this moment, more than ten fast horses rushed to the city gate like a whirlwind, and the people waiting in line knew that this group of people were either rich or expensive when they saw this group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses, and hurriedly stepped aside, so as not to be trampled on by the horses.

The leader is a handsome young man of about twenty, heroic, born extremely powerful, with a terrifying essence between the opening and closing of his eyes, and a stunning demeanor, and his bearing is extremely extraordinary.

Just when the dozen or so horsemen rushed to the city, someone in the city had already come out.

"Bo Fu!"

The young man at the head was also heroic, very handsome and chic, and arched his hand.

"Respectfully!"

Sun Ce smiled, turned off the horse, stepped forward quickly and grabbed Zhou Yu's arm, looked up and down a few times, and then laughed and said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, but the demeanor is still the same, but a good student can be envious!" ”

Zhou Yu said casually: "Bo Fu, don't make fun of me, let's go to the city!" ”

Sun Ce sighed and said: "The city will not enter, this time I was ordered to inspect the Shicheng camp, there is still military affairs in the body, and I have to go to Qu'a as much as possible, and then go back to Wu County, Shicheng is not far from Wanling, so I came to see Gongjin!" ”

Zhou Yu didn't ask much, and said, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you!" ”

Sun Ce nodded, and suddenly leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Has Gong Jin been to Qiao's Mansion recently?" ”

Zhou Yu showed a hint of a smile and said in a low voice: "Why don't you go with me today?" ”

Sun Ce's eyes were moved, and then he shook his head and sighed: "I have to rush to Qu'a later, the time is too tight today, and I haven't prepared any gifts, so I won't go first." If you are cautious, you can ask Qiao Gong on my behalf. ”

Zhou Yu nodded and asked, "How is the construction of the Stone City Great?" ”

Sun Ce said: "It's almost, but the military advisor said that our navy is too weak, and the warships are too broken." More than 3,000 people were simply embarrassed to be of great use, and they proposed to build a naval army. Recruit young people who are familiar with the navy to train an elite navy to block the river and waterway. In this way, you can attack the north of the river, and retreat can defend according to the natural danger of the river! ”

Zhou Yu strongly agreed: "In the opinion of the military advisor, our army really needs to build a water village. ”

Sun Ce was surprised: "Gongjin also thinks so? ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Originally, I was waiting for you to come and tell you about this, since the military advisor mentioned it, it must have been decided, I don't know where the naval army Dazhai will be built, have you ever been sure?" ”

Sun Ce said: "It has indeed been decided, it's just where to build a water village." It's more troublesome, this time I came out in addition to inspecting the Shicheng camp, and another task is to check on the spot, to see where the naval army camp can be built, what is the public to build? ”

Zhou Yu said: "Chaisang can set up a naval army camp!" ”

Sun Ce said: "Gongjin and the military advisor have the same idea, and the military advisor also said that it is better to build a water village in Chaisang!" ”

Zhou Yu said again: "However, Chaisang is too far away from Shicheng, if there is a war, I am afraid that I will not be able to support the Shicheng camp in time, and another naval village can be set up in Niuzhu." Echoing with the Chaisang Water Village, it can completely block the river! ”

Sun Ce thought for a while, and said, "Gongjin's mention is very good, I'll tell my father about it when I go back!" ”

Zhou Yu asked, "Are you really not going into the city?" ”

Sun Ce said: "No. So-and-so is leaving, if the public goes to Qiao's mansion, don't look at it and ask a certain person! ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Don't worry." I'll be sure to bring you the greetings! ”

Sun Ce laughed three times, and then he said goodbye to Zhou Yu. I went with more than a dozen riders like a whirlwind.

Zhou Yu watched Sun Ce leave and stood at the door for a while. before turning back to the city.

When I got home, I practiced fencing for a while and sweated.

If you want to go to Qiao's Mansion to go around, you can look at the sky, the sun has set in the west, even if you get to Qiao's Mansion, you have to go back if you can't sit on a pillar of incense.

Early the next morning, I said hello to my uncle and set off with twenty of my own soldiers.

The sun hadn't risen yet, and there weren't many people entering the city, just a few.

Zhou Yu walked out of the south gate of Wanling and rode slowly south along the official road.

Half of the twenty pro-soldiers were in front and half in the back, protecting Zhou Yu in the middle.

There was a shortage of war horses in the south, and Sun Jian wanted to form a cavalry, but he couldn't get enough war horses.

In these years, war horses are the most important strategic resources, and their importance is no worse than that of strategic weapons in later generations.

Although the north produces war horses, this kind of strategic resources are strictly controlled by the princes, and even if the princes in other places can buy some horses, most of them are inferior horses, and there is no one to sell real high-quality war horses at all.

Even if you buy some bad horses, it will cost you a lot.

Although Zhou Yu was born in the Wang clan and had a rich family background, it was impossible for him to match his soldiers with war horses.

Even Sun Jian's personal guards only had a pity of a hundred cavalry, and the rest were all foot soldiers.

Early in the morning, there were no figures on the official road, and it was very clean.

It took a lot of effort for the third son and Niu Er to catch a fish weighing three catties from the river, wash it, put it on the fire and roast it on it, the third son grilled the fish, and Niu Er took a broken net and continued to catch fish on the edge of the dam.

"Fuck, I eat fish every day, and now I want to vomit when I see fish!"

The third son cursed quietly, really doubting the taste of Guan meat!

I have been fishing here for nearly ten days, and I can't stand eating things every day, and what's worse is that the people from the government have already come to inquire twice, and they want to take him and Niu Er as homeless people, which is a bit bad.

The third son has already decided that if the big fish doesn't come now, he will talk to the boss tomorrow and replace two people.

After all, if he and Niu Er stay here for too long, it will be troublesome if they attract the attention of the government.

was absentmindedly flipping through the grilled fish, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a group of people walking slowly on the official road not far away.

Lian Bian turned his head to look at it, and immediately widened his eyes.

"Niu Er, come on!"

Sanzi looked excited and hurriedly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

Niu Er ran over with a broken net, and it was empty!

"The big fish are coming!"

The third son spoke, and when he saw that Niu Er was about to cry out excitedly, he hurriedly scolded in a low voice: "Damn, don't fucking scream, don't look around, hurry up and get those firewood over, don't probe your brain." ”

Niu Er agreed, and immediately hugged a pile of half-dry firewood next to him.

The third son grabbed a handful and threw it on the fire, and soon smoke rose from the fire, and the smoked third son scolded his mother.

On the main road.

Zhou Yu looked at the two homeless people who were grilling fish dozens of steps away, and said a little strangely: "Since my uncle guarded Danyang and ordered the government to settle the homeless, why are there still homeless people outside the city?" ”

A soldier replied, "Maybe you fled again, right?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded, didn't take it to heart, and soon went far away.

Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, there are people who can't survive, let alone this troubled world.

South of Wanling, thirty miles away on the west bank of Lengshui.

This is a dense bamboo forest, covering an area of dozens of acres.

Between the green hills, a small mansion sits between the green bamboo forests, like Beppu outside the world.

In an abandoned manor three miles away in the southwest corner of the bamboo forest.

Hei Mazi quickly rushed into the courtyard of a walled temple that had collapsed most of it, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was watching, he quickly pulled a few times under the north wall, and a wooden board was immediately exposed on the ground.

Hei Mazi lifted the wooden counter and shouted inside: "Head, the big fish is out!" ”

"Grass, it's finally here!"

There was a scolding sound in the kiln, and soon someone climbed up.

Wang Heixiong was the first to crawl out, pulled off the dead grass on his head, and looked around vigilantly.

Soon, more than a dozen Xiliang soldiers all crawled out of the kiln.

As soon as Wang Heixiong came out of the courtyard, he saw Zhao Da, Li Heizi and others hiding in the courtyards of other dilapidated houses also come out.

There was nothing to say, as soon as everyone met, they immediately turned their legs and ran to Qiaojiazhuang.

Zhou Libo, the sixty-year-old, avoided several villages along the way and soon approached Zhusen.

The bamboo forest is deep and quiet, and there is a crisp music sounding in the manor, like the tinkling of spring water.

The gate of Qiao's mansion was closed, and there was no figure in sight.

The Xiliang soldiers are all coarse people who don't know how to star, and they don't have music cells, but they don't appreciate this beautiful piano sound, Zhao Da made a gesture, and the twenty people under him immediately went around and blocked the front and back doors of Zhuangzi respectively.

Li Heizi and Wang Heixiong took their forty men and rushed directly to the gate.

"Boom!"

A Xiliang soldier stepped forward and brutally knocked on the gate of the manor.

"Who?"

There is a voice from the gatehouse inside, listening to the voice, the age should not be young.

Then, the door was pulled open from the inside.

"Your grandfather!"

Wang Heixiong laughed and kicked the door.

The door panel was thrown back violently, and the porter standing behind the door was caught off guard, and was knocked to the ground at that time, blood flowed out of his forehead quickly, and he screamed loudly, before he could figure out what was happening.

There are Xiliang soldiers who pounced on him, and they were about to kill the gatekeeper with a knife.

"Grass, don't kill!"

Wang Heixiong scolded: "If you make the landers dirty, how can you let the big fish go to the ditch." Damn, arrest all the people, kill only those who dare to resist, and all the rest find a place to lock them up first, tie their hands and feet, gag their mouths, and don't make people make a sound.
