Lu Bujun's kindness and care surprised the people and moved them at the same time. After a meal, the people returned to their homes one after another, and some cursed Sun Jian on the way.

The Qiao family, after being intercepted by the cavalry of the Lu Bu army, could only return to Xiangyang. To their gratification, no one from Lu Bujun's side came to trouble them, as if the other party did not know their relationship with Sun Jian's side.

The whole family returned to the mansion they had just left. Old Man Qiao looked at the luxurious courtyard in front of him and smiled bitterly, and muttered, "After tossing for a long time, I'm actually back!" ”

The beautiful and mature Deng family came to Old Man Qiao's side and comforted: "Master don't worry too much, the slave family doesn't look at that Lu Bujun as fierce as the legend!" Old Man Qiao nodded. Deng looked around and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want to contact the Sun family?" ”

Old Man Qiao hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Don't do it for the time being, let's see the situation!" Deng nodded.

The shadow of the flower shook, and the big and small two Qiao came to his father, and Ying Ying bowed, "Father." "The sound is like a breeze, and it makes people feel very comfortable. Old Man Qiao glanced at this pair of sisters who were talked about by the world, and thought in his heart: I expected them to marry Sun Ce and Zhou Yu before, but now it seems that this matter has to be reconsidered!

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, the old man had another consideration in his heart, but he didn't want to rush to decide anything, he also wanted to see how the situation developed. Old Man Qiao smiled and said, "You two must have worked hard, go and rest." He glanced at the maids next to him and advised, "Wait for the young lady well." A few maids agreed. Er Qiao bowed to his father and left surrounded by all the maidservants.

Old Man Qiao called the housekeeper.

The housekeeper respectfully bowed and said, "The master calls the villain, and I don't know what to order?" ”

Old Man Qiao asked, "Does Lu Bujun make any moves?" ”

The housekeeper said: "I heard that General Lu Bu has led the main army to leave Xiangyang and go north, and it is General Zhang Liao and his Tiger Wing Army who are currently staying in Xiangyang. ”

Old Man Qiao pondered: "It seems that the general is going to a decisive battle with Cao Cao!" How about his victory? After explaining to the housekeeper, he and Deng came to the boudoir of Er Qiao in the backyard. It must be explained here that because the two girls have deep feelings and are unwilling to live, the boudoirs of the two daughters are in a huge embroidery building, the elder sister Da Qiao lives on the left side of the embroidery building, and the younger sister Xiao Qiao lives on the right side of the embroidery building.

When Old Man Qiao and Deng came up, the two sisters were sitting in front of the moon cave window talking. Seeing his father and stepmother, he quickly stood up, greeted him, and said, "Father, mother." ”

Old Man Qiao smiled, "No need to be polite." The two women stood up. Big Joe invited his parents to sit, while Little Joe made tea for the two.

Old Man Qiao and Deng sat down at the top. Xiao Qiao brought two cups of tea, put them in front of the two, and then stood beside her sister.

Old Man Qiao glanced at his two daughters. The two daughters are both dressed in white dresses, with slender waists, black hair like clouds, eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar, both are flowers and moons, skin is frosty and snowy, and their temperament is beautiful and refined. Old Man Qiao couldn't help but squint his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What do you think of Lu Bu?" Old Man Qiao asked.

Er Qiao didn't expect his father to suddenly ask such a question, and he was a little surprised. Da Qiao thought for a while, "Before, my daughter thought that Lu Bu was just a cruel and insatiable shameless person!" However, looking at his treatment of the people of Xiangyang, it seems that the rumors are wrong! It's unimaginable that he treats the people so carefully! It seems that even Uncle Sun can't do this! Little Joe nodded sympathetically.

Old Man Qiao smiled, "The general has led the army north and is preparing for a decisive battle with Cao Cao, what do you think?" ”

Da Qiao smiled: "Father, this is the wrong person, my little sister and I can only play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and we have no knowledge of military strategy, how can we see the development of things?" ”

Old Man Qiao smiled and asked, "Then, what kind of result do you hope for?" ”

Xiao Qiao said without thinking about it: "Of course, I hope that Lu Bu's entire army will be wiped out!" Then he said angrily: "It's all because of him, our good life has been disrupted!" He's a great villain! ”

Da Qiao frowned and said, "I hope that Lu Bu can defeat Cao Cao......"

Xiao Qiao was puzzled and looked at Da Qiao, "Sister, why do you say that?" Don't you think that Lu Bu, a great villain, should be eliminated? ”

Da Qiao shook his head and said, "Sister, things are not so simple!" In fact, the princes of the world are divided, and it is difficult to say who is good and bad at any time! We think Uncle Sun is good, but his army often burns and loots, we think Lu Bu is bad, but after his army entered Xiangyang, he couldn't help but have nothing to do with Minqiu, and he was so diligent in helping the people. In this matter, Lu Bu is more like a good person! ”

Xiao Qiao was a little unconvinced, "Sister, I don't think your statement is right." Lu Bu: He's just buying people's hearts. ”

Da Qiao nodded, "Maybe." But there's no denying that it's good for the people! After a pause, "In this matter of the war between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, the reason why I hope that Lu Bu will win is because only when Lu Bu wins, our family can be peaceful......

Xiao Qiao frowned: "Sister, I don't understand. ”

Da Qiao explained: "If Lu Bu is defeated, Lu Bu will inevitably give up Xiangyang, but will he be willing to return such a land rich in fish and rice to Uncle Sun intact?" Apparently not. He might do something terrible! In that case, there will be no eggs under the nest, and our Qiao family is afraid that it will be difficult to escape! ”

Xiao Qiao frowned and looked solemn, she felt that what her sister said was right, and her heart was extremely entangled.

At this moment, Lu Bu, the object of discussion between the two, had crossed the Xiangjiang River, and the army surrounded Fancheng on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, and at the same time, nearly 100,000 cavalry of the Blue Wolf Army led by Ma Chao, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai had already advanced to the vicinity of Nanyang.

Zhang Lang sent an ultimatum to Sun Jianjun in Fancheng, but the opponent did not respond at all. Zhang Lang stopped dwelling with them, and immediately ordered the siege of the city. Tens of thousands of troops rushed towards the city like a landslide and tsunami. There were only 2,000 defenders in Fancheng who had been forgotten by Sun Jian, and they couldn't stop the onslaught of Lu Bu's army at all, and the city was soon breached. The remnants of Sun Jian's army retreated into the city and continued to resist.
