Chapter 447: Relying on the Old and Selling the Old
Zhou Yu didn't care about Cheng Pu's attitude at all, and said humbly and respectfully: "There are only a few sergeants who trespassed into people's houses, looted property, robbed people's daughters, killed innocents indiscriminately, and openly disobeyed the lord's orders. ”
Cheng Pu snorted coldly and said: "How did Cheng hear that it is not the same as General Zhou, according to the report of the soldiers in my battalion, there are Liu Xun's remnants hidden in this mansion, and the sergeants under my subordinates are just coming in to capture the thieves, how can there be robbery?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Old General Cheng is only afraid that he was deceived by those people, in this mansion, where is there any Liu Xunyu party, it is obvious that someone fabricated the facts, framed the Qiao family, and wanted to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters." What's more, when these soldiers were captured, they were stolen and stolen, and the looted property and people's daughters were here, so General Cheng Lao was asked to investigate them in detail. ”
Qiao Xuan immediately stepped forward and said: "Xiao Lao'er has always been law-abiding, and he has never committed adultery and crime, so I ask the general to investigate." ”
Cheng Pu was slightly stunned, this was very different from the situation he had before, he originally wanted to come to Zhou Yu's bad luck, but he didn't expect that it was his subordinates who violated discipline first, but let Zhou Yu catch the handle. couldn't help but sink his face, summoned those Danyang soldiers over, and asked, "Didn't you say that there are remnants of Liu Xun hidden in this mansion?" What is the situation, as it is. If there is half a lie, it will not be forgiven! ”
Those soldiers didn't expect Cheng Pu to call them to confront them in the court, and they couldn't help but be worried, and said with a stammer: "The subordinates don't dare to lie, someone did report that there were Liu Xun's remnants in this mansion before, and the lowly officials were also in a hurry to capture the enemy, so they strayed into this place, not intentionally to plunder." ”
Cheng Pu snorted coldly and said, "Then have you searched the courtyard for Liu Xun's remnants?" ”
Those Danyang soldiers turned pale and looked at each other, so they had to shake their heads and say, "No." ”
Cheng Pu's face suddenly became ugly. He pointed to the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and silk that had been abandoned on the ground by the Danyang soldiers. Drink asked, "What's going on with these things?" ”
Several Danyang soldiers looked at each other and couldn't answer.
Cheng Pu obviously understood what was going on, glared at the soldiers, and snorted heavily. shouted: "Look at how my father-in-law will clean up a few of you when he goes back!" He turned to Zhou Yu and said, "General Zhou." These soldiers are undisciplined. disturb the people's houses, but I still hope that General Zhou can remember their past merits, and it is right to be light. ”
Cheng Pu's tone is much better now than when he first came. After all, this matter is his own side first, Cheng Pu's plea to Zhou Yu is not to protect his shortcomings, maybe these soldiers will be beheaded by Cheng Pu when they return to the right barracks, but beheading at the right army and beheading here are completely different things, Cheng Pu doesn't want to lose face with Zhou Yu, if he really lets Zhou Yu kill his Cheng Pu's people on the street, Cheng Pu also feels that he has no face to see people.
Zhou Yu said: "The lord has repeatedly posted notices to calm the people, but these soldiers are so bold and reckless, and openly put the lord's order to cause a very bad impact in Anhui City. ”
Cheng Pu sank his face, in his opinion, he had already pleaded with Zhou Yu in a low voice, but he didn't expect his face Zhou Yu to give him at all, how not to make Cheng Pu angry. "In this way, General Zhou must be going to behead these people."
Zhou Yu said without humility or arrogance: "The military law is strict, how can it be abolished because of people?" Today, it's not that General Cheng doesn't give face, but military laws and regulations, and they can't be scrapped lightly! ”
"You-" Cheng Pu's face rose like a sauce pig's liver, and he was about to get angry, when he heard a hearty laugh from outside the door, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, before the laughter fell, a heroic young man walked in, it was not someone else, it was the little overlord Sun Ce.
As soon as Zhou Yu and Sun Ce clashed on the Qiao Mansion, a soldier flew to Sun Ce, Sun Ce naturally didn't dare to ignore it, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were his left and right hands, one was his little brother like a brother, and the other was his father's old subordinate Jiangdong Lao Chen, all of whom he relied on, and there was usually some small friction between the two Sun Ce could only turn a blind eye and pass it, but today the two confronted each other in Qiao Mansion, and it seems that Sun Ce has to mediate.
In front of Sun Ce, Cheng Pu didn't have a good seizure, glanced at Zhou Yu, and saluted Sun Ce: "See the lord." ”
Zhou Yu also bowed down and said, "I've seen the lord." ”
Sun Ce nodded slightly and said, "Gong Cheng, Gong Jin, why are you all here?" ”
Cheng Pu glanced at Zhou Yu and didn't say anything, Zhou Yu had to report what happened in Qiao's Mansion to Sun Ce in detail. All the parties were present, Zhou Yu naturally said it very objectively, without any words of oil and vinegar in it, Cheng Pu kept a gloomy face, but he did not refute Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce's expression was as usual, and he patiently listened to Zhou Yu tell the whole story, and then he spoke: "When entering the city, a decree was indeed issued, strictly prohibiting soldiers from harassing the people, orders must be carried out, and law enforcement must be strict, and it is also in line with military law for Gong Jin to take down these soldiers who make trouble." But since Cheng Gong is here, and these people are Cheng Gong's subordinates, I think how to deal with these people will be handed over to Cheng Gong. ”
Cheng Pu immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you, lord!" ”
Now that Sun Ce has made a ruling, Zhou Yu can't insist on anything anymore and give up his promise.
Cheng Pu looked back at the Danyang soldiers who committed the crime, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said in a deep voice: "You are harassing the people, violating military regulations, and the crime is unforgivable. ”
The Danyang soldiers turned pale with fright, and begged for mercy, but Cheng Pu was selfless and unmoved, and Cheng Pu's personal soldiers immediately escorted these people down, and after a while, several bloody human heads were brought up.
Cheng Pu bowed his hand to Sun Ce and said: "The last general is not strict in governing the army, and only the sergeants have violated the law and discipline, and the last general is also wrong, please punish the lord." ”
Sun Ce smiled and said, "Cheng Gong is strict with himself and is selfless, what is the excess? Sun Ce soothed with kind words, and Cheng Pu bowed and retired.
Zhou Yu has been looking at him coldly, and after Cheng Pu stepped back, Zhou Yu sighed softly and said, "It's still the lord who is smart, and Yu is obedient." ”
Sun Ce smiled: "Demou and Gongjin have never been on good terms, this matter is just that Demou wants to fight with Gongjin, it's nothing." In fact, Sun Ce had long understood that these soldiers who committed crimes were nothing in Cheng Pu's eyes, and Cheng Pu didn't care about their life and death at all. What makes Cheng Pu unhappy is that these people committed crimes in Zhou Yu's hands, if Zhou Yu really lets these people behead, it will be slapping him Cheng Pu's face, Buddha fights for a pillar of incense, and people fight for a breath, so Cheng Pu argues with Zhou Yu regardless of it, even to the point of turning his face. As soon as Sun Ce came, he handed over the disposal power to Cheng Pu, and when he waited for Cheng Pu's army, everyone watched, how could Cheng Pu bend the law with favoritism, and naturally he was disposed of in accordance with military regulations. What's more, the lord has handed over the disposal power to Cheng Pu, for Cheng Pu, the face has been earned, and the life and death of these soldiers are insignificant.
Zhou Yu naturally knew the mystery of this, but he didn't mean to compete with Cheng Pu, he just handled it normally according to military law, since the matter ended happily, Zhou Yu was relieved, he smiled and didn't speak again.
Zhou Yu's thoughts Sun Ce understands, Sun Ce smiled and said: "Gong Jin, you also know the temper of Demou, some rely on the old and sell the old, but he is the important minister of his father, and sometimes I have to give three points, so there are some things, Gong Jin, you still have to take care of one or two." ”
Zhou Yu said calmly: "Cheng Gong is a senior, he has fought in the field for many years, and he has made many achievements, and I also admire him very much. What's more, the main foundation of Fang Chuang, it is the time when we sincerely unite and work together to achieve great things, how can we make mistakes because of personal preferences, in the past, Lin Xiang was like a broken festival, and there was a day when Zhao Qiang, I think Cheng Gong is also a person who understands the general situation, and will not take these small festivals to heart. ”
Sun Ce laughed and said, "Gong Jin is really generous!" Immediately walked out side by side with Zhou Yu.
When he reached the gate of the mansion, Zhou Yu couldn't help but pause and glanced at Xiao Qiao, who was still in front of the hall. Xiao Qiao looked frightened, with a pair of beautiful and sad big eyes with tears on his face.
Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and smiled knowingly.

Xiao Qiao sat in front of the bronze mirror stupidly, motionless, her heart broken.
The Qiao family was all immersed in joy and joy. The matchmaker who proposed marriage in Jiangdong had just left, Sun Ce wanted to hire Da Qiao, and Zhou Yu wanted to hire Xiao Qiao. Jiangdong's men and horses have just captured Anhui City, in this city, Jiangdong people are the masters, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu came to propose marriage, how dare Qiao Xuan not agree? What's more, Qiao Xuan doesn't seem to have any reason to refuse, one is the lord of Jiangdong who is superior and powerful, and the other is a handsome man who is suave and suave, both civil and military, these two are golden beetle sons-in-law who can't be found with lanterns.
In the eyes of all people, these two marriages are simply a match made in heaven. The second daughter of the Qiao family, that is a pair of sister flowers famous far and wide, the country is beautiful and fragrant, peerless, how many people want to be a good couple. And Jiangdong's Sun Lang Zhou Lang is not only handsome and heroic, but also heroic. (To be continued......)
