Chapter 235: Sun Ceding Luling (I)
When Liu Miao was taken back to Luling by his generals, it was already five days later! This trip is really a disaster for Liu Xuan! Originally, he was not in good health, he had been sick for a long time, and when he saw the defeat, he suddenly fainted with anger and blood! Coupled with the bumps that came once in five days, when he returned to Luling, there was only one breath left!
He also knew that the time limit was coming soon, so he summoned all the ministers and generals on the sickbed to talk about what happened after his death.
The generals Mi, Panneng, Xue Li, and the strategists Shiyi, Hua Xin, Sun Shao, etc., knelt in front of the couch, crying one by two!
Although Liu Miao didn't fight well, he treated his subordinates well, especially those who came from wealthy families! And unfortunately, people like Tai Shici, who were born in the red and have real skills, are not allowed to be reused! This is a common problem of many noble-born people, and it cannot be said that Liu Miao is at fault!
Therefore, these people are really crying, not pretending!
Liu Xuan's eye sockets are deep, his face is like ashes, his lips are purple, and his face is full of death! With the help of his wife, he was half-lying, opened his cloudy eyes, and looked at the generals and strategists in front of the sickbed, and couldn't help but feel sad!
After a while, he trembled his lips and said in a thin voice: "You are all talented people, but unfortunately in my hands, you can't play it!" I'm ashamed of you! ”
The crowd hurriedly got up and shouted, "The Lord is serious, torture me and wait!" ”
Liu Miao nodded reluctantly and said, "After I die, you should vote for Mingjun again, and you must not go against that little overlord again!" ”
Everyone cried bitterly, and it was Yi Dao: "Don't be like this, the lord's illness will definitely be cured, and we will follow the lord and do my part for my Han country!" ”
Liu Miao tugged at the corners of his mouth, and a trace of saliva flowed out of the corner of his mouth uncontrollably and fell on the placket of his clothes! His wife hurriedly took the silk scarf and wiped it for him! After wiping it, his wife couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down her smooth cheeks!
Liu Miao smiled, patted his wife's hand, and said to Shi Yi: "Ziyu, even you, a gentleman, came to deceive my old husband?" Hehe, I know my own situation! Don't talk about it anymore! If Sun Bofu comes to call, you must not resist! I, Liu Xuan, am already very sorry for the local people, you must stop killing for me! ”
At this moment, a small school ran into the room with a panicked face and shouted loudly: "The lord is not good, the lord is not good!" ”
Everyone was stunned! Yes, the lord is not good, can you use it? Thinking about it, I couldn't help but stare at that little school angrily!
The little colonel just knelt down, raised his head and looked at it, and suddenly felt a hair in his heart! What's wrong with these adults? I didn't steal their money, why did I look at myself with such a bitter and hateful look?
The matter was urgent, and he didn't think much about it, and said loudly: "Lord, that Sun Ce has called, and he is lining up outside the city at this time!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately panicked! There was a great chaos in the hall, and when everyone was at a loss, they heard Liu Miao's wife scream: "Husband, ......"
Liu Xuan...... He's dead!
Outside Luling City, Sun Ce was shaking his head! Zhou Yu looked at him strangely and asked, "Brother, what are you shaking your head for?" ”
Sun Ce shook his head again and again, his mouth was full of slurp, and after a while, he replied: "Gongjin, I admire Liu Xiang and Liu Gongli now!" ”
Zhou Yu and Tai Shici next to him were stunned, the two glanced at each other, and asked in unison, "Why did my brother (lord) say this?" ”
Sun Ce said with amazement on his face: "Liu Gongli's legs and feet are fast enough!" You see, we, the brothers, are so tired that we are almost lying on our stomachs, and we still haven't caught up with him! Well, what an amazing talent! ”
Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but burst out laughing! Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing!
At this time, the knights of Sun Cejun's army who lined up a mile outside Luling City only had more than 800 cavalry, and the rest were behind them, tying branches to the tail of the horse, running quickly, and raising bursts of smoke, so that the people in the city only felt that there were countless soldiers and horses outside the city, and they did not dare to act rashly! …,
Half an hour later, the gate of Luling suddenly opened!
Many scribes and generals came out of the city! Seeing these people, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't help but be stunned!
The other party will surrender, Zhou Yu has long expected it! This time, Liu Miao went on the expedition, it can be said that he tried his best to take away all the soldiers and horses, leaving only hundreds of soldiers in the city! Even if you include the people who escaped, there are only about 1,000 people. There were too few soldiers and horses, and the general Tai Shici was next to him, and when the people and horses who fled back from the city tower saw him, they suddenly remembered the incomparably heroic posture of this person a few days ago, and they were suddenly frightened!
The soldiers are tired, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the morale is low. Although Sun Ce was also very tired, their morale was high and their hearts were full of fighting spirit!
However, seeing these people who went out of the city and surrendered, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't help but be stunned! These people, all of whom wiped their foreheads with white scarves, burst into tears, one or two like mourners!
The two glanced at each other, and immediately understood-Liu Miao is dead!
They hurriedly dismounted, handed over their weapons to the colonel on the side, and hurried up to meet them! When Tai Shi Ci saw it behind him, he immediately dismounted, held a halberd in his hand, and quickly followed, guarding next to Sun Ce!
Hua Xin held the seal of Yangzhou Thorn History, came three steps in front of Sun Ce, knelt down suddenly, and cried bitterly: "Therefore, Yu Zhang, under the official account of Yangzhou Thorn History, is too guarded by Hua Xin, and I will meet the general!" ”
Sun Ce hurriedly helped him up, and said warmly: "Mr. Ziyu, please get up!" Looking at the white towel on his forehead, Sun Ce asked, "Mr. Ziyu, the public ...... ceremony."
Hua Xin had tears in his eyes, nodded and said, "Gong Ligong has just passed away!" After saying this, he wept bitterly again, so that he could not even speak!
On the side, Yi said for him: "General, before leaving, Gong Li Gong said that if the general comes here one day, we will not be able to resist, and we will surrender the city immediately!" I only hope that the general will treat Luling's father well, and I will be satisfied! After speaking, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly!
Sun Ce hurriedly helped him up and said, "This gentleman, please get up, you must be kind to Luling's father and elder in the future, and please get up and speak!" ”
Shi Yi listened, stood up, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yes Yi thanked the general for the father of Luling!" After saying that, he gave a deep salute!
Sun Ce nodded, looked at the kneeling crowd, and shouted: "Don't worry, I, Sun Ce, swear to the sky that I will be kind to you, to the fathers and elders of Luling, and to the orphans of the public rites!" ”
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and grabbed the ground with their heads: "Thank you for the grace of the general!" ”
Speaking of which, Sun Ce was very embarrassed at this time! He was happy to get Luling! But Liu Miao just died, and he couldn't laugh, otherwise he would offend these new people! This is probably the legendary crying and laughing, right?
Sun Ce had a straight face, and anyone who saw it felt that he owed him money, which made everyone tremble and walk on thin ice!
After following everyone into the city, Sun Ce didn't do anything else, and after letting Tai Shici arrange defense, he rushed to Liu Xuan's house!
Liu Xuan's wife, three sons, and a daughter, the five of them are hugging and crying! Liu Miao is dead, the pillar of the family is gone, on the one hand, they have lost their relatives, and on the other hand, they don't know what kind of situation they will face!
Sun Ce's eyes were red, and after coming to a few people, he was very respectful, without a trace of the arrogant posture that a victor should have!
Several people looked at Sun Ce and couldn't help but stop crying! This moment is the moment to decide their fate!
Sun Ce first saluted a few people, then knelt down and said respectfully: "No, Sun Ce, I have seen Mrs. Liu, a few young ladies and young ladies of the son!" ”
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a while, and then she said with a crying voice: "General, please get up!" …… May I ask the General, what are you doing here? ”
Sun Ce hugged his fists and said: "Mrs. Liu, Gong Li Gong is a person I admire, and he is very sad when he dies!" Please rest assured, Mrs. is not talented, but she also knows some principles of life! Several sons and young ladies will be raised in place of Gong Ligong! As for Mrs., Ce will also support her, and she will definitely not make Mrs. lose her salary! ”…,
After a pause, he continued: "As for the coffin lid of Gong Ligong, I want to hear Madame's opinion!" If the lady wants to bury it in the Luling, she must obey it and take care of it from time to time! If Mrs. wants to send her back to her hometown, Ce will also send someone to escort Mrs. and Gong Ligong back to Muping for burial as Mrs. wishes! ”
When Mrs. Liu listened, she was moved for a while! She pushed away the young girl in her arms, and said with five bodies: "The surviving Liu, thank you for the kindness of the general!" ”
Sun Ce hurriedly helped him and said, "Madame, please get up quickly, Ce's deserve such a big gift from Madame!" ”
Mrs. Liu got up with the rain and said to Sun Ce: "General, before Gongli was alive, he mentioned many times that he wanted to return to his hometown after death!" Trouble with the general! ”
Sun Ce nodded and said, "Madam, don't be polite!" Since Gong Ligong had this wish before his death, he decided to do his best to make it happen! After a pause, he continued: "I just don't know, will the sons and young ladies go back to Muping with their wives, or stay in Luling?" ”
Mrs. Liu was a little unsure, she looked at a few children, and the eldest son Liu Ji hurriedly knelt down towards Sun Ce and said, "I am willing to keep filial piety for my father for three years, and I hope the general will be fulfilled!" ”
The rest of the children did not speak, but looked at their mother, Liu.
Sun Ce looked at Liu Ji with approval on his face and said, "Okay! Since the eldest prince has this wish, he should make it happen! After a moment of silence, he said, "Madam, I think so! Several sons are still young and can't stand the fatigue of the journey, except for the eldest son, the two little sons and the young lady should stay in Luling for the time being! What do you think, ma'am? ”
Mrs. Liu is also a smart person, she understands that at this time, Liu Miao is dead, these three children have no use value, Sun Ce left them, not as hostages, but for the sake of their bodies! Therefore, he pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Since this is the case, then it will trouble the general!" ”
Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "Madame, don't say that!" Madame, please rest assured, Ce will definitely raise the two sons and young ladies as his own biological brothers and sisters! ”
Saying goodbye to Liu's Mansion, Zhou Yu sighed and said: "Brother, the younger brother really can't see through you!" Hehe, just now outside the city, he was extremely sarcastic about Liu Gongli, but once he dies and you enter the city, you can immediately put down your body and make friends with his children and relatives! My brother is really human! ”
Sun Ce glared at him, didn't speak, just walked by himself, as if he was pondering something!
Zhou Yu smiled, didn't care, and quickened his pace to follow!
Sun Ce frowned and said, "Gong Jin, my move can be regarded as appeasing these newly descended people, but how can we appease the wealthy families who live here?" ”
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said: "Befriending the clan is nothing more than poetry, books, rituals and music, sealing officials and making wishes, befriending the wealthy family, it is nothing more than benefiting money, adding officials to the knighthood!" Yu wonders, does the brother want to befriend them, or does he want to appease them? ”
Sun Ce couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Is there any difference?" ”
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "The difference is not big!" If you want to befriend them and let them contribute to your brother, it will take a lot of hesitation, if you just stabilize them and let them not make trouble for your brother, hehe, then my brother has done enough! ”
Sun Ce glanced at him and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Of course I want them to do it for me! ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Then ...... Let's stay in Luling for a few more days, let me think of a way! ”
