Chapter 368: Jiangdong
Cheng Yu, who has always been calm, thought for a moment, nodded and agreed, after going to Cao Cao, maybe the former friends will face each other with swords and guns, each for their own master.
After leaving Xiangyang, Jia Rong rushed to Jiangdong non-stop, on the Yangtze River, Jia Rong felt very uncomfortable, making people feel unsteady, no wonder Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops could not take Jiangdong, the south ship and the north horse, the difference in climate between the north and the south determined the type of soldiers, and many people in the blood guards who followed him were seasick and vomited.
"Should we have a naval army belonging to the Xiliang Army?" Jia Rong pondered, the Xiliang army is mainly cavalry, and it will definitely be uncomfortable in the humid and rainy Jiangnan, which is not conducive to future battles, not to mention that there is a small island not far away waiting for Jia Rong to conquer, and it is very important to establish a naval army.
Jiangdong Sun family, when Jia Rong appeared in the Sun Mansion with three hundred cavalry, it caused an uproar, there were few war horses in the south, but the other party was able to lead three hundred cavalry to appear in Jiangdong, which is enough to show the extraordinaryness of this cavalry, but the soldiers' faces were a little pale, as the so-called southern ships and northern horses, it was easy to judge that these people were soldiers from the north.
"Squeak", the door of the mansion opened, looking at the three hundred cavalry who suddenly appeared outside the gate of the mansion, the old man who opened the door looked slightly sluggish, and his footsteps moved back slightly.
"Uncle Zhao!"
The old man struggled to find the familiar voice in the crowd, and when he saw it clearly, tears immediately flowed.
"Uncle Zhao!" Sun Ce turned over and dismounted and came to Zhao Bo, his tone slightly excited.
Uncle Zhao glanced at Sun Ce lovingly, turned his gaze to Jia Rong and the others behind Sun Ce, and said, "You should be Ce'er's friends, please come in quickly." Looking at the huge momentum of three hundred people, Uncle Zhao said embarrassedly: "It's just that the mansion is small and can't accommodate so many distinguished guests." ”
Jia Rong dismounted and said: "It's okay, they are all military people, not so much attention, leave thirty people, and the rest go to a nearby inn to find a place to stay, and don't disturb the people." ”
"Uncle Zhao, please come in." Jia Rong said politely.
Uncle Zhao didn't dare to step forward, he waited for Jia Rong to walk into the Sun Mansion, and then walked in behind Sun Ce, he was just a housekeeper of the Sun Mansion, and he had been favored by the Sun family for many years, and it was rare for the Sun family to treat him as their own, and Sun Ce had grown up watching him since he was a child, but the identity of the master and servant could not be changed.
Sun Jian has been dead for more than a month, and the people of Sun Mansion have gradually recovered from their grief.
When he saw Sun Ce, Sun couldn't help crying anymore, Sun Jian was in the prime of life but died on the battlefield, Sun Quan was young, and there was only Sun Ce, the eldest son in the family, and when the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Sun Ce was unfortunately captured, and Sun did not shed tears afterwards.
Sun Ce knelt down in front of his mother, crying.
After a long time, Sun hurriedly pulled Sun Ce up and said to Jia Rong and the others, "Distinguished guests, please take a seat!" ”
Jia Rong arched his hand, not far from the Sun family, I have to say that Sun Jian does have a vision, the Sun family is a standard southern beauty, in terms of appearance, not inferior to Wei Fu, the voice is not hurried or slow, giving people a comfortable feeling.
"The faux pas also look at the distinguished guest Haihan, I don't know what to call the distinguished guest?" Seeing Jia Rong sitting down, Sun hid his face and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked.
Jia Rong glanced left and right, Sun Ce also looked embarrassed, Jia Rong's identity is a taboo, otherwise Jia Rong would not call himself Ronggu on weekdays.
Sun understood and smiled: "If it's inconvenient to say, don't be reluctant. ”
"Madame can call me Young Master Rong." Jia Rong arched his hand.
Sun said with a smile: "Ce'er can come back from Chang'an, and there is a son of Lao Rong." ”
"Wentai and I are brothers, and it is a matter of course to escort Ce'er back, and Madame doesn't have to be polite."
"Tell your subordinates to prepare food and drink for the guests." Sun turned back to his subordinates and said.
"Brother Wentai unfortunately left, as a brother of Wentai, I have been in charge of Jiangdong as an assistant Ce'er, but my sister-in-law has difficulties, although I have said it clearly."
Seeing the sincerity of what Jia Rong said, Sun lowered his head and muttered for a moment: "I am a woman and a Taoist family, so the son will discuss with Ce'er later." Since Sun Ce is going to be in charge of Jiangdong's affairs, it is inconvenient for the Sun family to negotiate with Jia Rong, and it is not good for Sun Ce to act in Jiangdong in the future, Jia Rong also nodded secretly.
The dinner was very rich, the Sun family's strength in Jiangdong was second to none, and there were hundreds of dishes together, which opened Jia Rong's eyes, and after becoming a general, Jia Rong's food and clothing were still very simple, and he did not pursue luxury.
During the banquet, Sun Ce, Sun Quan and other important sons of the Sun family, Hao Ran was present.
With the help of wine, Jia Rong said loudly: "Jiangdong is more handsome, if Ce'er can use it properly, it is not impossible to chase the Central Plains, Wentai left behind when he was alive are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, Ce'er, uncle, I have no ability, in the words of the world, there is only the courage of a horseman, I will do my best to help you." ”
Sun Ce looked at Jia Rong excitedly, Jia Rong, who was proud of his achievements in the world, made such a promise, why was the little Jiangdong uncertain, and kept toasting to Jia Rong.
A feast, the guests and the host are happy.
Back at the residence, Jia Rong regained his calm side, how can there be impetuousness on the banquet, Sun Jian has a brotherhood with him, now help Sun Ce, how to deal with it in the future, if the Sun family Zuihou insists on refusing to submit, do you have to fight each other again? He did feel very confused about his current behavior.
"Ce'er, tell your mother, who is that Rong Gongzi today?" After returning to the room, Sun asked.
Sun Ce looked embarrassed, on the one hand, his mother who raised him since he was a child, and on the other hand, Jia Rong, who had the grace to teach him.
"Ce'er, my mother is also worried that you will be deceived by bad people, the situation in Jiangdong has been a little chaotic since your father's death, don't trust others easily." Sun said.
"Mother, don't worry, Gongzi Rong won't covet Jiangdong or anything."
"Ce'er, mother won't talk nonsense."
Sun Ce thought for a long time, and said slowly: "This person is the general Jia Rong, who is a friend of his father in the past, when the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, the child was captured by the Xiliang army, I believe that the father also told the mother, after hearing the news of his father's death, Jia Rong immediately led the child to Jiangdong. ”
Sun's eyes showed a contemplative look, Sun Ce was caught by the Xiliang Army at the beginning, and after Sun Jian came back, he didn't listen to Sun's cry, it is said that such a person, Sun Ce should have more resentment, but from Sun Ce's tone, Sun heard it with gratitude.
"That's good, Ce'er has grown up, think more about everything, for the mother is a woman's family, many things are inconvenient to come forward, your father died in his early years, Jiangdong will be handed over to you, Rong Gongzi is right, Jiangdong is so handsome, if Ce'er can use it properly, he will definitely be able to revitalize Jiangdong."
"After your father dies, let you be like Jia Rong, recruit talents, in order to achieve great causes, and don't rest on your laurels."
Sun Ce leaned over and promised, filial piety comes first, even if he is the emperor, he has to pay a big salute when he meets his mother.
The next day, Jia Rong and Sun Ce and other important figures of the Sun family came to Sun Jian's tomb again to pay their respects, and Sun Ce officially became the helmsman of Jiangdong.
Jiangdong is more handsome, like Lu Su and Zhou Yu, which one is not a romantic character who stands alone.
If time permits, Jia Rong is willing to stay in Jiangdong for a long time and dig all these talents to the Xiliang Army, but this is not the first time that Jia Xu has heard the news, there has been no trace of Jia Rong in Chang'an City for many days, and some families have begun to be restless.
With the concerted efforts of Sun and Jia Rong, Sun Ce inherited Sun Jian's great cause as a young man, and the generals in the army did not make any mistakes under the leadership of Huang Gai, Zumao, Han Dang and others, and Huang Gai was really surprised when he saw Jia Rong, but he still had to receive Jia Rong to send the eldest prince back to Jiangdong in person, which also determined that Jia Rong could not stay in Jiangdong for a long time.
"Thank you, General!" Huang Gai Han Dang bowed in unison.
Jia Rong kindly helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "Wentai and I are brothers, and now that we have unfortunately passed away, I hope that you will work together to help Bofu and unify Jiangdong as soon as possible." ”
Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Qi Qi said yes.
"If there is any fault in the future, you should also teach carefully." Jia Rong is like Sun Ce's elder, teaching these subordinates.
Sun looked at everything in front of him in amazement not far away, thinking that when Sun Jian just died, the generals in this group of troops were the most restless, clamoring to avenge Sun Jian, but now they are submissive under an unfamiliar face, it seems that Jia Rong really deserves his reputation.
After Sun Ce successfully took charge of the great cause left by Sun Jian, Jia Rong came to Sun Jian's grave again.
"Brother Wentai ran all his life, but he died on the battlefield, I don't know what kind of changes will happen in this world, I once said, you and my brother join forces, I don't want to have any eighteen princes to ask for Dong, alas, the world is unpredictable, Liu Biao's hatred, he will be set to get Wentai back"
"Now that Bo Fu is in charge of the great cause of Jiangdong, I will also return to Chang'an, Brother Wentai will go all the way!" Jia Rong picked up the prepared haode wine, sprinkled three bowls in a row on Sun Jian's grave, and then sat on the ground, poured himself a drink, and chatted about family life at Sun Jian's grave.
"Liu Si, order someone to prepare the ship, and we will go back to Chang'an tonight." The sky gradually darkened, and Jia Rong left in front of Sun Jian's grave.
"No!" Liu Si's face was overjoyed, and he left in a hurry, Jiangdong was not familiar with the place, and Sun Ce only temporarily grasped the power, who knows if there is anyone in the army who hates Jia Rong and takes the opportunity to act, the sooner this kind of right and wrong leaves, the better.
Without saying goodbye, his whereabouts had been exposed in Jiangdong, and Jia Rong didn't want to cause trouble in vain.
Although it was spring, the night of the Yangtze River was still cold, sitting on the bow of the boat, facing the bright moon, Jia Rong couldn't help but think of two ancient poems.
"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, the success or failure of right and wrong is empty, and the green mountains are still red at sunset several times."
Because he only remembered these two sentences, although the roar was very imposing, it seemed a little powerless.
Wang Yue stared at Jia Rong with a deep face, such a majestic poem came from the hands of a martial artist, thinking about it, he felt a little incredible, and the incomprehension of Jia Rong in his heart rose to a level again, could it be that Jia Rong was pretending to be reckless in the past, if this is the case, then the person in front of him is too terrible, how many people are played with by him between the palms.
