Chapter 589 Epistles
Jianye City, which is now the economic, cultural and military center of Jiangdong, is also the capital of the entire Jiangdong, although it is not as prosperous as Xiangyang Xudu, which has gone through several decades, but under the management of the Sun family, it has also become the kind of prosperity of the first-line city, even the current Shouchun of Yangzhou is slightly inferior to Jianye.
Jianye Qiao's mansion, Qiao Xuan was originally a native of Lujiang Wancheng, and the Qiao family also has a great foundation in Wancheng, because Qiao Xuan is a contemporary Confucian, so the Qiao family is very popular in Wancheng, after Sun Ce attacked Wancheng and won Wancheng, the only family that was not affected was the Qiao family.
Because the Qiao family and Sun Jian were friends before this, this is why Qiao Xuan made a marriage contract with Sun Jian's sons Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
But it backfired, the eldest daughter just got married on the second day of the wedding night, Sun Ce led the Jiangdong soldiers and horses to the battle, but Lujiang Wancheng was attacked by Lu Bujun, and the eldest daughter Da Qiao died of martyrdom, which made Qiao Xuanshen hurt for a long time. Sun Ce didn't know if it was to compensate the Qiao family or why, so he moved the entire Qiao family to Jianye City.
"Master, master!" The housekeeper of the Qiao family ran quickly in the direction of the study in the Qiao Mansion.
"Huh?" Qiao Xuan was practicing his calligraphy and painting in the study, and a landscape map was about to take shape in Qiao Xuan's hands, but because of this sudden cry, the pen and ink in his hand were very slippery, and a good landscape painting was stained with excess ink, and two big stains ruined the paper.
Immediately, Qiao Xuan's face was gloomy, "What kind of body is panicking." Qiao Xuan put down the paintbrush in his hand and shouted in a heavy voice to the housekeeper of the Qiao family outside the door.
"The lord atonements, the lord atonements!" The housekeeper over there was angry when he saw his master. hurriedly made a gesture hoping that his master would atone for his sins.
"The lord is not a little flustered, he really has something important to report to the lord!" The housekeeper on the side explained to Qiao Xuan while making a gesture.
"Something important?" Qiao Xuan was puzzled. Since their Qiao family moved to Jianye City, where is there anything important. It turns out that there are no more people I know and there is less movement, Qiao Xuan naturally has the maintenance of the family business when he stays at home, but basically Qiao Xuan will not be too concerned about these things.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Zhao, Lord Zhang is here!" The housekeeper said to Qiao Xuan breathlessly.
"Zhang Zhao? What is he doing here? Qiao Xuan thought about it and frowned, he was really not familiar with this Zhang Zhao. There is still a little disgust for Zhang Zhao and even Qiao Xuan, because this person has a bit of a mercenary feeling, although he is talented, but he is too tactful, but that is also someone else's business.
Qiao Xuan is talented, but he is still unwilling to enter the official career, so it has nothing to do with him, this Zhang Zhao was appointed as a long envoy in the hands of Sun Ce, and he is still a lieutenant general in the auxiliary army, so it can be said that in Sun Ce's army, the official position is very high.
If Zhou Yu is the main one who leads the troops to fight on the front line. Then in this rear, he Zhang Zhao is the main one, and Zhang Zhao coordinates the mobilization of materials in the entire Jiangdong. The major events in Jianye can be said to be in Zhang Zhao's hands.
Why did such an important minister in the hands of Sun Ce come to visit him Qiao Xuan? If Da Qiao is still alive, then Qiao Xuan can still have some contact with Zhang Zhao, because after all, Qiao Xuan can also be regarded as Sun Ce's father-in-law, but the eldest daughter is dead, how much gold does this father-in-law's identity have.
"Master, master, this Lord Zhang Zhaozhang has brought a lot of gifts!" The housekeeper explained to Qiao Xuan.
"Gifts?" Qiao Xuan was even more confused, if it was said that some scholars came to bring gifts, then Qiao Xuan could still understand that this was either to study, then to seek advice.
But you Zhang Zhao brought a gift, what is the situation? Asking for advice? Although he Qiao Xuan is a great Confucian, he doesn't have that much ability to teach him Zhang Zhao, and it can even be said that Zhang Zhao's cultural attainments are still above Qiao Xuan.
I don't understand it, but the etiquette can't be lost, so Qiao Xuan still asked the housekeeper to bring Zhang Zhao into the mansion. "Take Master Zhang to the main hall, don't be lazy, I'll be there later!" Qiao Xuan said to his housekeeper.
"Yes!" The housekeeper nodded, for Zhang Zhao's visit, the lord didn't feel anything, but he was very excited to be a servant, who didn't know the name of Zhang Zhao and Lord Zhang, even Wu Hou Sun Ce's reputation in Jianye was not as loud as this Lord Zhang Zhao, because the county official was not as good as the current management, and Zhang Zhao was equivalent to the person in charge of the rear.
Zhang Zhao arrived at their Qiao family's mansion, and the housekeeper will be a little proud when he goes out in the future, tell the sΓΉ family, our Qiao family is also a big family, and even bring that Zhang Zhao to visit our mansion, how proud it is.
Just when the housekeeper was about to leave, he was stopped by Qiao Xuan, "Slow!" β
"What's the matter, sir? Don't worry, sir, I will definitely serve Lord Zhang Zhao well! The housekeeper said to Qiao Xuan, he thought that Qiao Xuan was afraid that he would snub Zhang Zhao.
"That's not the reason, forget it, the old man should go and greet him in person!" Qiao Xuan shook his head, no matter what, this Zhang Zhao is the chief envoy of Jiangdong, and he can be regarded as one person and more than ten thousand people. If there is no intersection, it's okay, if there is an intersection, then naturally Qiao Xuan has not lost his courtesy, Zhang Zhao came to visit, he Qiao Xuan can't let a domestic servant go to greet him no matter what, so Qiao Xuan thought for a while, "Go with the old man!" β
Qiao Xuan said to the housekeeper, the clothes Qiao Xuan was wearing were still the kind of casual dress, but there was no way, you can't let Zhang Zhao wait for a long time.
With that, the master and servant went to the antechamber.
Zhang Zhao is waiting for news in the front hall, although Qiao Xuan is a great Confucian in the world, but he is really not taken to heart by Zhang Zhaoduo, just like Mr. Shuijing in Jingzhou, although everyone knows Mr. Shuijing Sima Wei, but how many officials go to visit, Pang Degong is so prestigious because he founded Lumen Academy, if there is no Lumen Academy, it is impossible to make Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao so jealous.
The reason why he Zhang Zhao came in person was because someone asked him to come, and this person's identity is not low.
"Lord Zhang Zhaozhang!" Qiao Xuan saw the middle-aged man pacing in the front hall, wasn't it Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, the important ministers in Sun Cejun's army. Zhang Zhao is a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
This man did not come to Koto simply because he had taken refuge. This person is still because he offended the original Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian Tao Gongzu. Tao Qian came to invite Zhang Zhao to enter the career, but this Zhang Zhao did not give Tao Qian face, so Tao Qian took him down to the domain, if it wasn't for the help of his friends, I am afraid that he would have been cut off by Tao Qian.
It is precisely because of this that after Zhang Zhao arrived in Jiangdong, he was no longer as upright as before, but became more and more sleek, which is why Qiao Xuan didn't like it.
But whether you like it or not, since people are here. Naturally, hospitality is needed.
"Qiao Gong!" Seeing Qiao Xuan come out to greet him in person, Zhang Zhao also nodded, and stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, you Qiao Xuan is like this, naturally Zhang Zhao also reciprocated and called Qiao Gong to Qiao Xuan.
"Lord Zhang Zhao, there are many opportunities for the day, for my Jiangdong parents, I don't know why I put down my official duties and came to the mansion, if this delays Wu Hou's major event, Qiao Xuanke will be guilty!" Qiao Xuan said with a smile at Zhang Zhao.
"Where, where. Where is Gong Qiao, Zhao came to visit Gong Qiao in the mansion. Even if you have to find time in your busy schedule, Qiao Gong is my great Confucian in Jiangdong and is admired by thousands of people. β
The two politely exchanged words, and finally cut to the chase.
"I don't know why Lord Zhang Zhaozhang came to my mansion!" Qiao Xuan asked Zhang Zhao, naturally there was a servant and maid on the side who brought him the prepared tea, Qiao Xuan made a request, and the two of them took the tea.
Hearing Qiao Xuan's inquiry, Zhang Zhao put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Gong Qiao, Zhao came here this time to be entrusted by the lord and the old lady!" Zhang Zhao answered Qiao Xuan's question.
"Wu Hou? And the old lady? Qiao Xuan also put down the tea, and became puzzled: "Wu Hou is here for Yu'er?" "The relationship between Wu Hou and the old lady and Qiao Xuan is just the relationship between the in-laws, since this Zhang Zhao came under the guidance of Wu Hou and the old lady, that is to say, this is for the eldest daughter Qiao Yu.
Qiao Xuan, who said that his eldest daughter, couldn't help but dim his eyes, because Qiao Yu was dead, and after marrying Sun Ce for a few days, Lujiang Wancheng was broken, and Qiao Yu died of martyrdom.
"What do you want to say when Wu Hou came to this version?" Qiao Xuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because Qiao Yu was his eldest daughter and Sun Ce's wife, Sun Ce sent Zhang Zhaolai, did he want to marry a wife again?
"In the end, the daughter of the family was able to enter Wu Hou's eyes?" Qiao Xuan couldn't help but think about it, and his tone had a hint of mockery. "If Wu Hou takes a fancy to it, there is no need to negotiate with the old man, and those gifts will be returned" Zhang Zhao came with gifts.
"Daughter of the He family?" Zhang Zhao looked at Qiao Xuan suspiciously, but when he heard Qiao Xuan say, Qiao Yu immediately understood, Zhang Zhao is a human spirit, how could he not know, this old man Qiao is angry, because after all, Qiao Yu is dead, if this lord Sun Ce directly continues the strings, it will naturally make Old Man Qiao uncomfortable.
Knowing the reason, it's naturally easy to do" Haha, haha! Zhang Zhao immediately laughed.
"Lord Zhang Zhaozhang, what's so funny? Go back and tell Wu Hou, the fate of this in-law is over, take these gifts back! Qiao Xuan said coldly to Zhang Zhao: "Wu Hui sends off guests!" β
"Yes!" The housekeeper nodded, arched his hand at Zhang Zhao and said, "Lord Zhang, please take it!" β
"Qiao Gong, Qiao Gong, everyone says that Qiao Gong is upright, Zhang Zhao didn't think it at first, but now it seems that Qiao Gong is really just like him!" Zhang Zhao said to Qiao Gong with a smile.
"Qiao Gong misunderstood Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao definitely didn't mean to humiliate the housewife when he came this time!" Zhang Zhao explained to Qiao Xuan: "The lord and the old lady didn't let Zhang Zhao come to sue Qiao Gong about the continuation of the string!" β
"Then why did you Zhang Zhao come?" Qiao Xuan asked suspiciously.
"Zhang Zhao came here this time for Gong Qiao's second lady, Miss Qiao!" Zhang Zhao said to Qiao Xuan.
"For Little Joe?" Qiao Xuan didn't understand, how could this be for Xiao Qiao.
"What! Didn't Gong Qiao forget Miss Qiao's marriage contract? Zhang Zhao reminded,
"Engagement?" Qiao Xuan then remembered that his two daughters were really married. "Zhou Yu?" Da Qiao married Sun Jian's son Sun Ce because the Qiao family and the Sun family had a family relationship, and Xiao Qiao couldn't continue to marry Sun Quan, the youngest son of the Sun family. So I changed my approach. Married to Sun Ce's sworn brother Zhou Yu.
Seeing Zhang Zhao bring the gift and mention Zhou Yu again. Is this here to propose?
"But Zhou Yu asked you to come?" Qiao Xuan asked, this Zhou Yu can be regarded as having a big face, and he actually asked Zhang Zhao to come to propose marriage. You must know that Zhou Yu is the governor of the capital, and this Zhang Zhao's position is not low, the two of them can be regarded as the head of the above martial arts, just like Kuai Yue and Cai Mao in Jingzhou,
"No, no!" Zhang Zhao shook his head unexpectedly than Qiao Xuan.
"Not Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin? Who's that? β
"Gong Qiao. Zhang Zhao did come to propose marriage for the Metropolitan Governor, but this client is not the Metropolitan Governor! Zhang Zhao smiled and said to Qiao Xuan, this client is not Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu didn't know that Zhang Zhao would come to propose marriage, in other words, Zhou Yu could not have the face to let Zhang Zhao propose marriage for him, and the people who could make Zhang Zhao move were naturally the lord Sun Ce and the old lady Mrs. Wu.
Sun Ce is also hiding from Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu has been accompanying him Sun Ce to fight the world, because of the war, Zhou Yu's lifelong events have not been decided, and it was originally good that the two brothers got married together and won the two daughters of Qiao Xuan's family, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. But because of Jiangxia's layout, Zhou Yu missed the wedding.
Sun Ce couldn't help it. Only then did he send a letter to Jian Ye for his brother, asking the old lady to come forward and send Zhang Zhao to propose marriage.
"Isn't this Jiangxia the time when the war is in full swing? Will this Gongjin be able to take the time to come back? Being said by Zhang Zhao, Qiao Xuan's heart was much more comfortable, and he knew that he was thinking too much, where was Sun Ce wanting to marry other wives, but the marriage of this little daughter Xiao Qiao, and even called Zhou Yu's words in happiness to show his cordiality.
The reason why Qiao Xuan asked such a question was because Zhou Yu didn't hold a wedding as scheduled last time, because of the war in Jiangxia.
"Qiao Gong, please rest assured, even if the war in Jiangxia is busy, this Metropolitan Governor will also take time to come to hold a wedding with Ling Ai!" Zhang Zhao said to Qiao Xuan.
"How can this be done!" Qiao Xuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "The world is undecided, why do you want to be at home!" This Gongjin is so affectionate to the little girl, so that the old man, the old man doesn't know how to say it! The original words are that the Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home, this is Huo Qu's words, but it is not a grievance when it is placed on Zhou Yu's body, because like Huo Qu's disease, Zhou Yu is also a young and beautiful man, and he is a young man with a seat.
"Qiao Gong is guilty, Zhang Zhao hasn't finished saying this, after this battle, Jiangxia can be peaceful! The Metropolitan Governor can come to hold the wedding as scheduled! β
"What do you mean?" Qiao Xuan didn't understand a little?
Zhang Zhao wanted to explain, but when he saw the maidservant on the side, he stopped talking again.
Qiao Xuan naturally knew what the situation was, waved his hand and said to the people, "You all go down, you don't need to serve here!" Lord Zhang Zhao, please move to the study, please come with me! Saying that, Qiao Xuan led the way in front.
Zhang Zhao also followed, and the two entered the study one after the other.
"Lord Zhang Zhao can speak, although the study is small, but there is no ear for the wall!" Qiao Xuan said to Zhang Zhao.
"Qiao Gong, above the surface of this Jiangxia, now it is like this, like this, like this!" Zhang Zhao told Qiao Xuan about the battle in front of Jiangxia, although Qiao Xuan had no intention of being in the official career, he also knew about these war situations.
Listening to Zhang Zhao's explanation, Qiao Xuan's heart suddenly moved, "So! After this battle, on the Yangtze River, Wu Hou is no longer invincible? β
"Hehe, yes, but Qiao Gong missed a point, after this battle, my lord will sit on the land of Jingchu and look at the Central Plains, so as to compete in the world!" Zhang Zhao touched his beard and said with a smile: "And Qiao Gong, as the father-in-law of the Grand Governor, is naturally rising, isn't that Qiao Gong's desire to establish a academy still handy?" β
"Huh?" Qiao Xuan's eyes shone brightly, although Qiao Xuan is a great Confucian, but he also has his own desires, as long as people have desires, otherwise Qiao Xuan would not marry his two daughters to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu respectively, if Qiao Xuan has no desires, why didn't he marry his two daughters to Sun Jian's two sons at the same time, the eldest daughter married Sun Ce, and the younger daughter married Sun Quan!
In this way, he can better make the relationship between his Qiao family and the Sun family more profound, the reason why Qiao Xuan didn't do it was because he could see that although Sun Quan was talented. But his identity is destined to have no future in this life.
Because Sun Quan has a too good big brother next to him. As long as Sun Ce doesn't die. Sun Quan can't have a chance, and Sun Ce is now in the prime of life, and it is the time for the scenery.
Sun Quan really didn't expect Qiao Xuan, even if he could govern a county at the age of fourteen, it was like this, with his eldest brother, whether it was to avoid suspicion or forbearance. Sun Quan is not destined to have much power, he is destined to be a happy son in Jiangdong.
And Zhou Yu is different, his Zhou Yu is talented, very talented, it can be said that Zhou Lang's talent is known to everyone in the world, which is why he has the title of Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang, and the second is the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are not biological brothers, but this relationship is more real than that of their own brothers, and the two are married. It's even more irreversible.
Zhou Yu is also above 10,000 people under one person in Jiangdong, and in the future, he will naturally rise with Sun Ce to fight the world. It was precisely when he saw this that Qiao Xuan married his youngest daughter to Zhou Yu, so that he could stabilize the position of his Qiao family.
Now Zhang Zhao told Qiao Xuan about the pattern of Jiangxia, after this battle, the Jiangdong family is dominant on the Yangtze River, if the Jiangdong army occupies Jingzhou again, it can be regarded as a number of great princes in the world, with the Yangtze River natural danger and the wealth of Jingzhou, even Cao Cao of Xudu is difficult to take Jiangdong.
Qiao Xuan is a human being, he naturally has his own desires, his desire is not to be an official, nor to be rich in the world, but to write books and say, that's right, Qiao Xuan is a great Confucian, it is still very easy to be an official, but everyone has their own ideas and desires, Qiao Xuan is thinking that he can really be full of peach and plum like Pang Degong in Jingzhou, and he can write books and speak, so that everyone in the world knows him Qiao Xuan.
And one of the prerequisites for becoming a figure like Pang Degong is to build a huge academy.
Obviously, it can't be done with the ability of the Qiao family, how can it be possible to establish an academy without a teacher and no other Confucian, even if he has money, he can't do it, although he Qiao Xuan is also a Confucian, but it is not enough to ask other Confucians to save face.
The reason why Pang Degong succeeded at the beginning was because in addition to the reputation of Da Pang and Xiao Pang, there was also the help of Sima Wei, and there were other figures such as Feng Li to help, so Pang Degong also spent almost all the Pang family's wealth to succeed.
Qiao Xuan needs financial support and the help of connections, and these two sons-in-law are the key people among them.
If the eldest daughter was still alive, then the eldest son-in-law Sun Ce would naturally help, but when the eldest daughter died, Qiao Xuan was cut off, but he didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity now.
As long as what Zhang Zhao said is true, after the Jiangxia War, he took the Yangtze River and captured Jingzhou, then with the help of Zhou Yu, he Qiao Xuan is afraid that he will not be able to establish an academy! This academy is called Qiao Xue Mansion, thinking about it like this, Qiao Xuan's old face was happy to speak.
"Those gifts are dowry gifts from the old lady on behalf of the elders of the Metropolitan Governor! Also accept it from Qiao Gong! Zhang Zhao also knew Qiao Xuan's thoughts, and said with a smile to Qiao Xuan, Zhou Yu's Zhou family has been wiped out, and it is not Lu Bujun who killed them, but those scholars in the former Lujiang Shucheng who have been exhausted and don't want to survive with Zhou Yu, want to use the head of the Zhou family as a vote to get a way to live from Lu Bujun, and even get promoted to make a fortune.
However, they killed the Zhou family, but they were not rewarded by Lu Bujun, but were also killed by Lu Bujun.
It is precisely because the Zhou family is gone, it is difficult to find Zhou Yu's elders, and the old lady can only be Zhou Yu's elders herself.
"Where, where, the old lady is polite! You're welcome! Qiao Xuan smiled and talked with Zhang Zhao, the two had no conflict of interest, and there was a collusion of interests, so the two of them smiled very happily, and discussed the wedding in the study, such as the time of the marriage contract, which people to invite, etc., and they were happy.
In the study, in the backyard of the Qiao family's mansion, a beautiful woman like flowers and jade was looking at the flowers in front of her blankly, these flowers were already haggard, just like the people in front of them.
"Sister, are you doing well in Yangzhou?" This fairy-like figure looked at the flowers and muttered, "Hehe, I've said more!" You are naturally happy with his company, how can he make you sad! "This fairy-like man laughed at himself over there.
"Sister, haven't you robbed me since you were a child, why did you rob your sister this time! Sister. Do you know. I can't wait to replace you! Voices rang out.
"And you. Did you forget me if you had a sister? Don't you really know that there is another waiting for you in Koto? Maybe I'm being amorous, hehe, hehe! "This fairy-like figure, if you look closely, you will find that this person looks very similar to a woman, that is, Qiao Yu, the second lady of Liu Mang, the lord of Yangzhou, the king of Shu, and Liu Hanyang.
That's right, this fairy-like person is Qiao Yu's sister, Jiangdong's little Qiao girl, that is, the person Zhou Yu has always wanted to marry.
"Second Miss, Second Miss!" It's in this little Qiao girl who is there to take pity on herself. When it was very distressing, the voice of the maid came from outside.
"Xiangxiang?" Xiao Qiao's puzzled voice spread, and Xiao Qiao hurriedly hid the cloth in his hand, which was what Liu Mang used to bandage their wounds after saving them.
"It's me, Second Miss!" The maidservant named Xiangxiang responded.
"Come in!" Xiao Qiao nodded and said to the incense outside.
"Second Miss, Second Miss, good news, good news!" As soon as the fragrant maid came in, she smiled and shouted at Xiao Qiao.
"Good news? What's the good news? Xiao Qiao didn't understand, and asked Xiangxiang suspiciously.
"Second Miss, the Metropolitan Governor is coming back!" Xiangxiang said to Xiao Qiao.
"Brother Gongjin?" There was also a hint of joy on Xiao Qiao's complexion, and Zhou Yu had always been a gentleman in Xiao Qiao's face. So I get along with Xiao Qiao like a brother and sister. And Zhou Yu protected Xiao Qiao everywhere before.
Originally, Xiao Qiao thought that this was a feeling of liking, so Xiao Qiao shouted at Brother Zhou at that time. But later, after meeting that bad guy, Xiao Qiao finally knew what it meant to like and what love was. Thinking of what that bad guy had done to him, Xiao Qiao couldn't help blushing.
"Brother Gongjin is coming back after winning the battle?" Xiao Qiao also smiled slightly, she knew that Jiangdong was fighting with Jingzhou, how many years had it been.
"Second Miss is not this good news!" The maid shook her head and said to Little Joe.
"Oh? Is there any good news? Xiao Qiao also asked suspiciously.
"Yes, Miss, it's not just that the Metropolitan Governor is coming back, but Second Miss, your marriage!" This Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Qiao with a smile, whose girl is not pregnant with spring, Zhou Yu, a beautiful man, is one of the few in the whole world, so many women are fascinated by Zhou Yu when they see Zhou Yu, and he is young, capable and in a high position, which girl would not like such a perfect man. This Xiangxiang also likes Zhou Yu.
"Marriage?" Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, she hadn't reacted yet.
"Yes, Second Miss, the Metropolitan Governor is coming back, I heard it when I brought tea to the master just now, they said that the Metropolitan Governor will marry the second lady after he comes back this time, and the Lord Zhang Zhao has brought the dowry gift!" This Xiangxiang said directly to Xiao Qiao, the more Xiangxiang said, the more excited he became, where is this like Xiao Qiao's marriage, it is completely like his Xiangxiang is getting married.
"Marry me?" Xiao Qiao panicked in his heart, and subconsciously said "No, no!" I don't want to marry Brother Zhou. β
"Second Miss, Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" Xiangxiang on the side looked at her second miss suspiciously and said, is it happy and stupid to look at the second miss? Also, the Metropolitan Governor is so handsome, and he is young and promising, he still has a deep affection for the second lady, if someone does this to himself, even if he lets himself die, it is worth it. Now Xiangxiang thinks that this second lady will take herself with her when she gets married, and she is the second lady's maidservant, so that she can see the governor every day, and it is very beautiful to think about.
"Second Miss, you are so happy, my lord is like this, I heard them say that as long as you take the enemy army in Yangzhou, you will come back to marry Miss You! The old lady did it herself. β
"Enemy troops in Yangzhou?" Xiao Qiao heard the words Yangzhou, and couldn't help but increase his voice: "Xiangxiang, how can it be the enemy army in Yangzhou?" Didn't we Jiangdong have a truce with Yangzhou? β
"I don't know, this is what the lord said, saying that now our Jiangdong soldiers and horses are under the command of the Metropolitan Governor and Jingzhou soldiers and horses to attack the enemy army in Yangzhou."
"No, no!" Xiao Qiao shook his head violently, "How could it be, how could it be!" "Jingzhou soldiers and horses Xiao Qiao has not seen it, but the Jiangdong soldiers and horses have not won the Jingzhou army for so long, and you can know that the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou army is not bad. Now the two have joined forces to deal with Yangzhou.
"Brother Liu. Brother Liu! Xiao Qiao's heart suddenly appeared with a bad look. With that in mind, she suddenly rushed out of the room and ran out of the mansion.
"Second Miss. Second Miss? Xiangxiang was also stunned, she didn't understand why Miss was so depressed. However, Xiangxiang still chased out.
Xiao Qiao was chased back, but after coming back, he became unrelenting.
"Xiangxiang, do you really want to marry Brother Zhou?" Xiao Qiao suddenly asked Xiangxiang.
"How do you mention this, Second Miss!" Xiangxiang's face on the side suddenly turned red, Zhou Yu is very good, Xiangxiang is naturally dreaming of marrying Zhou Yu, "The Metropolitan Governor is so good, and I am just a maidservant, not worthy of the Metropolitan Governor!" "Xiangxiang just wants to be able to marry with the second lady, and it is enough to be able to see the governor every day.
"Deserved! Deserved. I'll make you worthy of it! Xiao Qiao's tone suddenly became firm.
"Ahhh Xiangxiang looked at her young lady in no understanding, not knowing what was wrong with her young lady.
β¦β¦
In the Yangzhou Navy Village, Lu Xun had already woken up, he sat in the room, thanks to the care of the girl in the medical hall these days, this allowed Lu Xun to be safe, Lu Xun has not had time to thank others.
Without even asking the name, Lu Xun suddenly raised his hand and sniffed, it was this hand. This hand grabbed her, and Lu Xun talked in his sleep when he was unconscious, and he kept grabbing the girl's hand for a night.
"And the scent!" Lu Xun couldn't help but say. After finishing speaking, Lu Xun's face was completely red, "Lu Xun, Lu Xun, what do you think again!" Phew! "Lu Xun can be regarded as a gentleman, their Lu family's tutor is still very strict, from childhood to adulthood, Lu Xun was taught by his grandfather Lu Kang.
Grandfather taught Lu Xun that he must be strict and upright and have a gentleman's way and be willing to love the people, but Lu Kang did not teach Lu Xun what love is.
This girl who took care of him made Lu Xun uneasy, and his mind was full of the white figure.
"Report, report, report!" Just when Lu Xun was still thinking about the girl, suddenly a herald came outside.
"Report, report to the general, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good! Enemy troops, enemy armies are all enemy troops! The herald stammered, not because the herald had a physical problem, but because he was frightened.
"Enemy troops?" Lu Xun was stunned for a moment.
"Boom, boom!" Alarm sounded throughout the Lujiang naval army camp.
Lu Xun hurriedly put down the love for that girl in his mind, picked up the armor and robe on the side, and ran directly towards the top of the Lujiang Water Village while walking.
Outside the water village, Lu Xun looked at the water surface of the Yangtze River outside and suddenly gasped.
The entire surface of the Yangtze River is completely covered, densely packed with warships, the Yangzhou Navy has a total of only 20 warships, and there are at least 200 ships outside, these enemies are simply numb.
"I really look up to me Lu Xun!" Lu Xun looked at the enemy on the surface of the Yangtze River under the banner of Jingzhou and Jiangdong Naval Army.
"General, did the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy come out of the nest?" The lieutenant general on the side asked Lu Xun.
"His Jiangdong Army and Jingzhou Army seem to have to get rid of us!" Lu Xun sneered at the deputy general next to him, if Lu Xun, who thought that the girl's face would blush in his room before, was a big boy next door, then now Lu Xun is a decisive general, his face is cold, and his heart is even more calm.
"General, what should we do?" The lieutenant general on the side is also in a hurry, there are at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside, all of them are densely packed with enemies, even if they stand there and kill you, they will kill for a while.
"Pass the order, open the gate of the water village, and the whole army will get on the warship and prepare to fight!" Lu Xun said to the deputy general on the side.
"Fighting? General, are you crazy? "The adjutant general on the side was frightened, now the enemy is ten times his own, now go out to fight, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? There is still a glimmer of life in this water army camp, and with the protection of the water army camp, it can also last for a while.
"In the camp of the water army, we will surely die! And there is still a glimmer of life in going out to meet the battle! Lu Xun explained to the lieutenant general on the side. Now the Jiangdong Navy and the Jingzhou Navy can be regarded as pouring out. Hundreds of warships. Telling the truth on the surface of the Yangtze River, Lu Xun also had no confidence in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't help but go out to fight, once he hid in the water army camp, then there was no other possibility except for death.
The water army camp is not a city on land, because of the ferry, so its scale is limited, and the defense power is also limited because it is built of wood.
Now the water army camp of the Lujiang Navy can hold up to 30,000 troops, and it can only resist 50,000 people.
If the naval warships are not dispatched for so long now, they will not be able to be dispatched. Looking at the size of the enemy army outside, there are 100,000 people, if you rush up and gamble on the water army camp, you will wait for a long time to play siege warfare.
Not to mention that the Lujiang water military camp can only put 30,000 defenders, can defend 50,000 soldiers and horses, even if it can use 30,000 soldiers and horses to resist 100,000 troops, but there must be 30,000 soldiers and horses, the entire water army camp is full of only more than 15,000 people, if it is blocked in the water army camp, you can only wait to be beaten passively, and finally the water army camp is broken, and those new warships will not be spared.
Therefore, Lu Xun needs to let the warships under his command sail out of the Lujiang Naval Army. In this way, there will still be a glimmer of life. Relying on the speed of the new warship and the superiority of his range, the enemy can also be afraid of the enemy and dare not attack the naval camp with all his strength, even if he can't beat it on the Yangtze River, Lu Xun can also escape with a large army, and the big deal is not to let the Lujiang naval camp go, he doesn't believe that the combined army of Jingzhou and Jiangdong naval army dares to land in Lujiang naval village, Yangzhou naval army is bullied by Jiangdong naval army and Jingzhou naval army because of its small scale, but above the land battle, if Yangzhou military says that it is the second old, no one dares to call itself the first.
Therefore, as long as the entire fleet is protected, then Lu Xun will have merit, and these new warships will not fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Don't go yet!" Lu Xun roared angrily at the deputy general on the side, "Do you have to wait for death!" β
"Yes! Checkmate! Lu Xun's roar made the deputy general much sober, and because of Lu Xun's calm appearance, he was more at ease, his main general was not afraid, what was he worried about as a deputy general.
He didn't know that Lu Xun was more than calm on the surface, but in fact, Lu Xun was more nervous than anyone else. His palms were covered in cold sweat.
"100,000 troops, 100,000 troops, you really look up to me Lu Xun!" Lu Xun was about to smile bitterly, looking at the flag released by the huge fleet over there, there was Zhou on it, this Zhou was naturally the governor of the Jiangdong Army, Zhou Yu, this person knew this person's reputation when Lu Xun was a student, Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang, it can be said that Jiangdong can have such achievements is basically the credit of Zhou Yu, this person's talent is heavens and bounds.
There is also Sun Ce's banner over there, Jiangdong Xiaobawang, even the boss is here, but seeing Sun Ce's banner Lu Xun only has a deep anger, because Sun Ce's attack on Lujiang made their Lu family finally ruined, and his grandfather died in Sun Ce's hands.
In terms of the Jingzhou Navy Army, there is a banner of writing, this should be Wen Ping, Lu Xun and Wen Ping have fought each other, although this person lost, but it was also lost because he was not familiar with the Yangzhou Navy Warship, now they are familiar with these new warships, if it is under the same conditions, Lu Xun is really not the opponent of Wen Ping.
Zhuge also has the banner, this is the banner of the Jingzhou Navy Division, although Zhuge Liang has not fought with Lu Xun, but Lu Xun has not heard of this person's reputation, Zhuge Military Division, relying on his own strategy and Jingzhou Navy to block the Jiangdong Navy outside Jiangxia, even with Zhou Yu's assistance, the Jiangdong Navy still has no way to break through Jiangxia's defense line, which can be seen Zhuge Liang's talent.
Thinking that he was going to fight with these individuals, Lu Xun couldn't help but have a trace of fear, took a deep breath, and suppressed his fear, "Come on, come on!" The big deal is death! Lu Xun is worthy of being young, and he quickly became combative from fear, if he loses, he will die! 100,000 fights 10,000, he is glorious if he loses, and if he wins by luck, then he will really become famous.
"Report!" Just as Lu Xun was observing the water surface of the Yangtze River over there, a herald ran over.
"Report General Lu Xun's letter from Wancheng!" A herald knelt down and taught the letter in his arms to Lu Xun on the side.
"Letter from Wancheng? Strategist Chen Gong? "It is naturally Chen Gong who can send letters from Anhui City, and now Lu Bu is attacking Yuzhou with soldiers and horses, although he is coming back after getting the news, but it also takes time, and now the entire Lujiang is in charge of Chen Gong, a military advisor.
After receiving the letter, Lu Xun was about to open it on the spot, but the herald on the side shouted, "General Hui, the military advisor said, you can't open it at this time!" β
"Can't be dismantled? If I can't open it, how can I read the letter? Lu Xun asked suspiciously, although he had doubts, but the movement of his hand stopped.
"The military advisor said, this letter can only be opened when the general keeps it on the warship to meet the Jingzhou and Jiangdong coalition forces in a desperate situation! Otherwise, it's useless. The herald completely repeated the words left by the military advisor Chen Gong.
"Huh?" Lu Xun was confused by this herald, what is it called being in a desperate situation to be opened, isn't this intelligence and order letters?
"Is that really what the military advisor said?" Lu Xun asked again.
"Yes! Before leaving, the military advisor instructed his subordinates to tell General SΓΉ that he must disassemble it when he is in a desperate situation, which may save the general from fire and water. The herald repeated what Chen Gong had asked him to say.
"Alright, I got it!" Although Lu Xun didn't understand what medicinal materials were sold in the gourd of this Chen Palace, for Chen Gong's appreciation and admiration for his talent, Lu Xun still gave up opening this letter, and put him neatly and closely.
"The general's warship has been prepared, just waiting for the general to dispatch!" The lieutenant over there came over to report.
"Good! Yangzhou Navy will attack with me! Lu Xun nodded, and followed his men to the flagship of the Yangzhou naval warship.
"Woooooooooooo The sound of war drums sounded, and one after another Yangzhou naval warships slowly drove out of the Yangzhou naval barracks. (To be continued......)
