—184 A.D.——

Xuzhou City, barracks.

Since Sun Jian himself was a participant in Zhu He's "campaign", and his 5,000 parts were originally in the barracks, he decided that after responding to Zhu Jun's proposal, he only needed to come to the barracks to "report".

However, even so, he was not the first to arrive, on the platform, in addition to Zhu Jun, who carried his cousin straight to the barracks, there were also the only two literati who stayed at the celebration banquet at that time, the wealthy businessman Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong, and the long Shi Tao Qian Tao Gongzu.

The former controls the lifeblood of Xuzhou's money and grain, and the latter is the first person under the assassin history, if Zhu Jun suddenly takes out an official document to dismiss Zhu He, then unless he names another person as the assassin history, Tao Qian will automatically become the assassin history, and it is very likely to become a regular.

When Sun Jian arrived, Zhu Jun only glanced at him, while "smart people" like Mi Zhu and Tao Qian, who had already figured out the situation, smiled and nodded at this "capable general" in Xuzhou.

After Sun Jian returned the salute with his fists, he stood on the side of the military rank and began to observe the situation in the military camp and the generals who came one after another.

As a large city, Xuzhou has encircled the entire military camp into the city wall, but in order to facilitate entry and exit and avoid disturbing the people, the location is still on the edge of the city wall.

As for the reason for "disturbing the people", it is the daily training, in addition to the daily physical training, there are also "combat skills training" in which a single military general participates, also known as "small training", and the "confrontation drill" organized by many military generals, also known as "big training" -- all of which are very noisy behaviors.

At this time, the leaders of the soldiers who were not qualified to participate in the celebration banquet, such as the commanders at the grassroots level, began to train the soldiers hard because they saw the arrival of the commanders—so they became even more noisy.

After that, more generals and civilian personnel also arrived, and even mixed in some people who were obviously unmeritorious, but wanted to take advantage of it.

In the end, the civil and military forces gathered for Zhu Jun's "big event" were:

Changshi Tao Qian, Gong Cao engaged in Mi Zhu, Fu Jun engaged in Zhang Zhao, Xiao Pei Guo Minister Zhao Yu, cavalry commander Zang Ba and his subordinate generals Sun Guan and Yili, Diannong Lieutenant Chen Deng, Zhizhong engaged in Wang Lang, Bei Jie engaged in Cao Bao, Cao Hong, Xia Pi Ling Sun Jian and the generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zu Mao and [].

Basically, civilian officials are just here to join in the fun, maybe they can lead the troops, but if they can't use "combat skills", these troops can only rely on their own quality to fight the enemy, which is very unfavorable behavior, so generally only let them lead archers who do not need combat skills, while infantry and cavalry are led by generals who are proficient in at least one "combat skill".

Of course, if anyone can use the "combat skills" of archers, this rare military general will not let him command infantry and cavalry.

In addition, if the generals master different levels of Wushuang, it will also have an impact on the arrangement of the commander-in-chief, like Cheng Pu's "underwater breathing" or something, forget it.

Among this group of people, in addition to the military position of "Captain of the Dian Agricultural School", which is in charge of agriculture, and the civilian position of "Don't Drive", which is in charge of chariots and war horses, only Zang Ba and Sun Jian, who also have deputy generals, can be called generals, and the two have begun to look at each other after they have arrived.

And Zhu Jun's next order was not as expected by the two:

"Wentai, Xuangao, the two of you will each choose the middle song of the camp and conduct a 'big practice', and the winner can be the vanguard."

Although they didn't know exactly what to do, the two of them were obviously unwilling to give up their victory, so Sun Jian and Zang Ba responded in unison as if they were competing with someone's loudest voice:

"Wow!!"

————

The outskirts of Xiapi.

"Two sons, please go back," the girl in the red dress with a double ponytail pulled back the girl in the yellow shirt who was staring at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu with big eyes: "Grandfather is old and incapable of government affairs, so he really can't take up the post of 'Great Honglu'." ”

"In addition, the words of 'bullying the small with the big' that the sister said are negative words, not because she wants the elders of the two sons to send lobbyists of the same age," she paused, raised her dark eyes and glanced at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, as well as the wild boar at the door: "As for the sentence 'it is a puppy that breaks into the door', it does not mean that you can use 'pigs' to break the door." ”

"That-" Sun Ce, who was confused, was about to ask, but felt a tap on the shoulder, so he immediately shut up - at this time, it is always right to hand it over to Zhou Yu.

"Although it can't be a director, it should be okay just to take on this position itself," Zhou Yu took two steps forward and said: "Da Honglu is in charge of the etiquette of the court, if only no one is in charge of the council, 'rudeness' is acceptable, if it is occupied by the subordinates of the ten permanent servants, then the 'collapse of etiquette' is what Grandfather wants to see?" ”

"This ......" the girl in red was a little at a loss for words, and began to roll her eyes to think of a rebuttal.

Oh...... It is worthy of Gong Jin, just from unrelated words such as "Ten Standing Servants", "Da Honglu", "Grandfather" and so on, a set of statements that sound very reasonable, Sun Ce secretly admired on the side.

"Hey! Your pig has broken the courtyard gate! If you don't fix it, we won't listen to anything! Seeing that her sister was at a disadvantage, the girl in the yellow shirt with a single ponytail immediately jumped out and shouted.

"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu turned around and called Sun Cedao.

"Yes, yes." Sun Ce spread his hands, stepped forward to wake up the boar and sent it away, then picked up the tree that it had knocked down and threw it aside, and finally lifted the fallen courtyard door with one arm, broke a few rivets to restore them to their original state, and re-nailed the courtyard door to the door frame with his bare hands.

"Whew-" This time it was the girl in the yellow shirt who was frightened and retreated: "What, how? Do you want to hit someone if you can't say it? It's a bit weird, isn't it? ”

"I/This son is not that/That's what it means." Sun Ce's words and the girl in the red dress were subtly synchronized.

The two looked at each other, Sun Ce shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, motioning for the other party to speak first.

"I just thought about it again, where my grandfather lived in seclusion, there was no such big tree outside the door, and these two sons were also different from the characteristics of any family in Luoyang, and my grandfather once said that if you see a white light above the courtyard gate or courtyard wall, you are not allowed to enter or exit," the girl in the red dress said in a soothing tone: "It can be inferred from this that this should not be the suburbs of Luoyang, and the wild boar is just hunted and chased, just in time, two sons, I guess right?" ”

"Ah...... Well. Sun Ce replied vaguely, although the boar was a mount and not a prey, but seeing that girl was so confident, it was better not to expose this inconsequential matter.

"Ahh The girl in the yellow shirt jumped up and raised her hand to Zhou Yu: "What you said just now was made up improvised after listening to what we said!" Big liar! ”

"It's not." Zhou Yu did not hesitate to veto.

"Huh?"

"This ......"

"Huh? Isn't it? ”

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce helplessly, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Luoyang in the northwest: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the information revealed by the virtuous sisters is enough, in Luoyang, where the ten permanent servants are powerful, they can be trusted by the ministers, and the officials who can be promoted as 'Da Honglu' to maintain etiquette and music will not exceed ten, and with the appearance of the girl, the age of this 'grandfather' can also be deduced, coupled with the fact that he lives in seclusion and does not ask about the world, the owner of this place is likely to be Lord Qiao Xuanqiao, who has served as Situ for many years, and resigned angrily after the ten permanent servants took power in many ways. ”

"Wow...... I guessed ......" The girl in the yellow shirt replied blankly, and the girl in the red dress reached out and poked her waist in anger - what they said was "maybe".

"If you guess further," Zhou Yu continued: "With only two girls who have not yet reached the end of the year, it must be impossible to take care of an old man, there should be another blood relative in the house, Qiao Yu, the eldest son of Lord Qiao, who is the prime minister of Yuzhou at this time, so it is impossible to be here, then it must be the second son who has declared that he has severed relations with Lord Qiao, Qiao Feng." ”

"Hey! Don't call your father by his name! At least add an adult! The girl in the yellow shirt shouted.

"This 'Lord Qiao Feng'," Zhou Yu changed his words with kindness, "When I was young, I was caught by a small group of Turkic aliens who had entered the border, and the other party tried to blackmail Lord Qiao Xuan after learning his identity, but Lord Qiao Xuan ordered his army to destroy the alien race regardless of his son's life and death. ”

Obviously, Sun Ce had never heard of such a thing, and the two girls also knew the inside story of their father's discord with their grandfather for the first time, and they also exclaimed a little when they heard this.

"Perhaps due to good luck, Lord Qiao Feng finally escaped death, but he could not forgive his father's decision, so he declared that he would sever the relationship and remove the wooden character next to his surname, and take Qiao as his surname," Zhou Yu continued: "However, this act was greatly appreciated by Emperor Huan, and a decree was issued that when a prisoner took hostages, the pursuers could arrest them regardless of the safety of the hostages, and this decree is still in effect today." ”

"This, this—" The girl in the yellow shirt looked very dissatisfied: "What kind of chaos is this!" ”

"Oh, so the two girls all have the surname 'Joe' next to the wooden word?" Sun Ce grasped the point.

"Please forgive me for not telling outsiders the girl's name," the girl in the red dress said to Sun Ce, "Childe can call us 'Big Joe' and 'Little Joe'." ”

"What if we have younger siblings?" The girl in the yellow shirt "Little Joe" shouted, "I'm still called 'Er Joe'~"

"It's hard to hear!" "Big Joe" retorted.

"What about 'Jojo'?"

"No, okay."

Why should a temporary code name be so important? Sun Ce was confused.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a dull sound of footsteps coming from the small two-story building in the courtyard, and then a tall man dressed in a prairie-style robe, with an indigo turban on his head and a brown cloak on his back, with a resolute appearance, a slight beard on his chin, and a strange pattern on his chest, walked out.

"Abi, Azi," he said in a slightly magnetic and hoarse, but manly voice, "take those two little dolls upstairs, your grandfather wants to see them." ”

"......" Qiao Bi and Qiao Zi, who were still bothering to think about the codename, were dumbfounded.

"Intelligence update," Zhou Yu read, "This 'Lord Qiao Feng' is not lucky, but was rescued by a certain alien woman in the process of 'ignoring the safety of the hostages', and her name is mostly related to color. ”

Further, his move to sever the relationship is not unilateral, and Lord Qiao Xuan, who used to be Situ, will definitely not accept a daughter-in-law of an alien race, but there is no need to say this...... Zhou Yu thought so.

"Ahaha......" Xiao Qiao said with a little annoyance, "Mother doesn't have a Chinese name, her name means red or red in Turkic, and my father always calls her-"

"Azhu." Big Joe continued.
