—187 A.D.——

Southeast of Luoyang.

"General Sun really did a great thing."

Sun Jian, who had been worried all the way that he would be intercepted by Lu Bu and even the Sword Saint, finally put down his hanging heart after seeing Zu Mao who responded, but after being said so mockingly by Yang Xiu on the side, he mentioned it again.

At that time, because of his intuition, Lu Bu suddenly went crazy and was inseparable from the "Jade Seal of the Country", Sun Jian did not stay for long, and left the battlefield in a hurry after thanking Yuan Shu.

If it was Sun Jian before today, he might have handed over the jade seal to the "alliance of local courtiers" composed of the Hongnong Yang family, the Hedong Wang family, and the Guanzhong Li family, making it an important weight in the game between monarchs and ministers.

But after seeing that no one takes the emperor seriously now, Sun Jian finally decided to keep it himself, after all, even if there is a holy decree or edict now, covered with the seal of this thing, it is impossible for anyone to obey the order without hesitation, right?

So, after he gave the order to his subordinate soldiers to "disband on the spot and return to their respective homes", he retreated to the southeast with some disgraced generals according to the predetermined plan.

However, the only surprise was that Yang Xiu, who had volunteered to contact other courtiers because of the attack of the queen and the coalition of the ten permanent servants, appeared here for some reason.

"What does Yang Xiaolangjun mean by this?" Although Sun Jian wanted to put on a casual appearance, he was beaten a little badly by Lu Bu, and Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others were also injured, so it was quite difficult to pretend to be stupid.

"Hmph, the Yuan family is quite self-aware, knowing that this family can't produce unparalleled generals or strategists, and instead put their minds on cultivating powerful ordinary soldiers, those 'halberd warriors', the resources spent to cultivate one are enough to provide equipment for a hundred ordinary soldiers, however, there will be no ordinary soldiers in the rumors, so it is General Wentai that you and Yuan Shu together to draw Lu Bu."

Oh? In other words, each of them can be used as half a peerless general?

Yang Xiu's words showed that he knew very well what was going on in Luoyang, but he didn't know anything about what Sun Jian had picked up.

As for the draw...... Heh, if it weren't for Lu Bu's wrong state, he didn't know where his mind went, and he would fight completely by instinct, otherwise he would directly capture the thief and capture the king first, and he and Yuan Shu would have already explained, Sun Jian thought so.

"Now that things have changed, and the Liangzhou army has been killed, our 'King Qin' operation has to be terminated," Cheng Pu replied: "We have to return to Jiangdong, and Yang Xiaolangjun will also return to Hongnong." ”

"The kid won't go back." Yang Xiu shook his head.

"Why?" After asking this sentence, Sun Jian suddenly had a sense of déjà vu, he shouldn't have replied "I'm willing", right?

But fortunately, Yang Xiu did not imitate the meaning of Yuan Shu's mantra, he replied directly: "The kid carefully studied the situation in Luoyang, and chose the side of General Sun, who had the greatest chance of winning, and wanted to succeed immediately, but because of the interference of foreign forces, he was defeated, although victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, but the kid couldn't accept that his first battle out of the mountain ended in failure, so he decided to go with General Sun, and never go home until General Sun's fame shook the world and washed away today's shame." ”

He was the first subordinate not to work because of his father's connections, but what was the responsibility that came with it...... Sun Jian was quite helpless, but he could only nod his head: "With the help of Dezu, why worry about big things?" ”

"Yang Xiu see the lord," the young man of the Yang family saluted slightly exaggeratedly: "Then evacuate by car." ”

Qiantang River, Sunjialou boat.

Because they were about to arrive at Fuchun, the former residence of the Sun family, the Sun family was somewhat homesick, and the Zhou family was also a lot more serious because they planned to leave a good impression on their brothers' relatives.

It was the Zhuge family who really had no impact, Zhuge Ju had nothing to do and began to ask the local sailors about the influence of the nearby scholars, farming harvests, merchant circulation, etc., and seemed to plan to do a big job, while Zhuge Jin found a feng shui compass out of nowhere, and gestured to the shore from time to time.

In the end, because of age, Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan, who will not be taken seriously no matter what they do, fell from the top to say otherwise.

In recent days, perhaps because of that poem, Sun Quan always felt that Zhuge Liang was very kind and pestered him when he had nothing to do, whether he was playing the piano, playing chess, or reading.

In this regard, Wu Rong is happy to see it, after all, Sun Quan is afraid of his peers because of his strange appearance of blonde hair and blue eyes, and only his sister Sun Shangxiang doesn't care at all, and now it is a good thing to have an extra friend.

"Well, do you really know how to play chess?" Zhuge Liang looked at the chess game and asked.

At this time, on the chessboard, Zhuge Liang's white son has occupied two-thirds of the area, and most of the positions are impeccable, if it is an ordinary chess player, I am afraid that he has already thrown his son to admit defeat, but Sun Quan is not, he continues to command the black son in the position of Shang Ke to fight with the white son tirelessly, and it is more flowering, and does not meet the conditions of "draw".

However, this method is quite in line with his current age.

Smack, Sun Quan slapped a black seed, ate a white child that would make him fall passive in the next few steps, and then said proudly: "Of course, I said that I am quite 'precocious'." ”

Zhuge Liang did not follow Luozi this time, but took a small pillar of "Eight Stone Soldiers" from the side and played with it in his hand, and waited until Sun Quan's expression became puzzled before he spoke: "In other words, you think that your wisdom is beyond your age." ”

"Hmm...... Well? Sun Quan answered halfway, suddenly paused, and thought with a thin brow.

"It stands to reason that a child who thinks he is smarter than his peers or even adults should call himself a 'genius' rather than a 'precocious one'." Zhuge Liang said.

Sun Quan's golden eyebrows were almost wrinkled, and Sun Shangxiang, who couldn't read chess or understand what they were discussing, stretched out his small hand to try to smooth it out.

"Unless...... This is not the first time this 'child' has been a child. ”

Whirring - brush brush brush -

Sun Quan seemed to remember something, and many unusually familiar images flashed through Nanzhong, but the pictures and the connections between them were all fragmented, and at the same time as he remembered those "pictures", they disappeared at an extremely high speed.

If the mind is like a stream, those pictures are like dead leaves in a stream, and the lines of the dead leaves can still be seen clearly at first, but as the stream flows into the river, into the lake, into the river, and finally returns to the sea, it is very difficult to look back for the dead leaf.

"Hmph...... ...... hateful" Sun Quan stretched his brows and glared at Zhuge Liang: "What about you?" Are you going to say you're a genius? ”

"My situation is a bit complicated, and some of the words needed to explain it have not yet been mastered, if I have to describe myself, I would say this:" Zhuge Liang raised his hand and slashed horizontally in the air for unknown reasons: "Zhuge is wise and close to a demon." ”

“……”

Jingzhou, Ye County.

Sun Jian's plan to return to Yangzhou was to travel southeast along the junction of Yuzhou and Jingzhou, change cars and boats, and avoid the main road throughout the whole process, so as not to encounter the "Qinwang" team from all over the country.

After all, if he went to Yanzhou or Yuzhou, he would almost certainly encounter Cao Cao's troops, and if he went deep into Jingzhou and took the main road, he would run into Liu Biao - although he was a master of the defense, it was hard to guarantee that he would not have any thoughts on Luoyang.

Moreover, Yang Xiuxintou, although he didn't distrust him, but before returning to the Sun family's own territory in Yangzhou, it was better not to let him know about the "Jade Seal of the Country".

When supplies are needed, such as at this moment, they will be handed over to Zu Mao, who has no distinctive appearance, to procure, and by the way, inquire about the latest news, and Sun Jian and the others are not close to the city at all.

"Lord," as Cheng Pu changed his words, the other generals also changed their titles, and Zu Mao, who had returned from shopping at this moment, said: "Jingzhou does have people and horses going to Sili, but they are only camped near the border, and they have no intention of entering Beijing at all. ”

"Heh, with a good calculation, as long as someone leaves Si Li, they will be detained, whether they are designated as chaotic ministers and thieves or loyal people afterwards, Liu Biao can benefit from it," Yang Xiu sneered: "Then, the lord will change this carriage to move forward like the previous times, if he can successfully board the ship in Jiangxia, it will be no different from arriving in Yangzhou-"

Whew——

Before Yang Xiu finished speaking, he saw a flying arrow cut through an arc at a speed so high that people didn't have time to react, hitting Sun Jian's heart.

Burst! Sun Jian spurted blood from his mouth and fell on his back, and then, the rescue of the generals came meaninglessly.

“…… Could it be that God destined me Yang Xiu to achieve nothing?! Seeing the lord who had just been pinned on his high hopes fall to the ground, Yang Xiu's eyes were about to crack, his hands and feet trembled, and his heart was so depressed that he almost exploded.

The next moment, he really exploded.

In Yang Xiu's eyes, the whole world was suddenly covered with a layer of pale green, and everyone around him was only left with a bright white outline, and in this strange green, there were three bright white arcs connecting Huang Gai, Zu Mao, and Yang Xiu himself from afar.

"If you don't want the lord to die, just listen to me!" Yang Xiu suddenly shouted, waking up the generals of the Sun family who were in a panic: "Zu Mao! Come to me! Yellow cover! Lift your iron boat in this direction! Cheng Pu Zhoutai! Help the lord into the woods! …… Handang! Assault the right rear of Zumao's carriage! ”

Bite! Bite! While!

When the generals were able to complete Yang Xiu's request, three arrows with almost the same speed as before were shot again, but they were all stopped by Huang Gai's iron boat.

Buzz - five blazing white "arcs" appeared again, this time encompassing everyone present, even Sun Jian, who had already been hit by an arrow, did not miss it.

"Hold up...... Tie Zhou, approaching the lord, ......" Yang Xiu was so uncomfortable that he almost wanted to vomit blood, but he still gave instructions in time.

"You little! Taste Han Yigong's awesomeness! ”

Han Dang's shout came from a distance, and the five "arcs" flickered and disappeared.

Yang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were dark, and he fainted directly.

"Ahem! Cough! At the same time as Yang Xiu fell, Sun Jian struggled to sit up: "Look at how Dezu is!" ”

"Lord, is it okay?" The others will be surprised and delighted.

"Ahem...... How can you be okay if you vomit blood......" Sun Jian broke the shaft of the arrow in his heart, raised his hand and groped in his arms, and took out the heirloom jade seal that was stored there before.

The jade seal was shining, and although it was shot head-on, it didn't even have a pit.

"Don't lose the 'jade'...... Is it? ”
