Qiao Yuan, a native of Anhui County.

Just as Zhou Yu is a native of Shu County, not a native of "Shucheng", Shu County and Anhui County have a larger scope, including the county seat and the countryside.

Usually, these large clans lived in the countryside, and in the city, only those who served as officials or as a branch of the brokers between the government and the family would live in the city......

Because of the remote and closed location of Anhui County, Yuan Shu agreed to serve as the county commander as long as the grain tax and manpower were guaranteed in time and in full...... No, it should be said that it is necessary to ensure the payment of the excess.

At the time of the founding of the country, Qiao Yuan, like other county orders in Huainan, was sealed as the Marquis of Guannei - but although Qiao Yuan did not have an obvious decision, he sealed all the rewards and did not move, and the robe of the Marquis of Dazhong Guan would definitely not be worn.

This time, Yuan Shu and Liu Xun had no intention of rescuing Anhui County at all, and naturally Qiao Yuan didn't think that he should die for them - Wancheng was only a mere 3,000 defenders.

However, Qiao Yuan also had some other thoughts, just a simple surrender, Qiao's is still the Qiao family in Anhui County at most, and he is much poorer than the powerful people in various places, and he usually relies on "being kind and charitable" to accumulate a reputation that is higher than his strength.

However......

Qiao Yuan has no sons, only old and daughters...... Two people.

Although Qiao's family is not only in Qiao Yuan's vein, in Qiao Yuan's opinion, the new generation of men has not become a climate.

Whether it was for Qiao's sake or for his own consideration, Qiao Yuan felt that it was ...... It's important to find two good sons-in-law!

As for Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, Qiao Yuan is also very familiar, especially the former - Shu County and Anhui County are next to each other, although it is difficult for the army to pass, but when the world was not so chaotic before, it was still easy for ordinary people to travel between the two counties.

Before Zhou Yu became famous with his intelligence, the name of "Mei Zhou Lang" spread all over Luling.

Whether inside or outside, Zhou Yu is impeccable, and another Wuxian Sun Ce, Qiao Yuan has naturally heard of him before, after all, he is the son of Sun Jian, who was still under Yuan Shu earlier, and now he has changed to Baitu......

In terms of age and potential, both seem to be good?

It's just that...... Unexpectedly, these two little bastards would give him a place Paly as soon as they came up-Sun Ce was right, Qiao Yuan was really waiting for a new banquet every day!

Seeing that Zhou Yu was magnificent, he was not worried about his deception at all, and drank the wine he prepared brightly, Qiao Lao was very satisfied, and looked at Sun Ce again...... Like a stunned man, he drank the wine prepared by the enemy without any defense, and Qiao Lao was a little angry.

"Oops, I'm getting older, and it's a little unsteady to pick up a wine glass...... Bo Fu, what do you say if the old man doesn't hold it and drops the cup? Qiao Yuan said deliberately.

People in this era are always uncreative, and "smashing glasses" is a sign of the classic banquet ambush scene.

"Huh? This cup is expensive? Yes...... It doesn't mean 'smashing the cup', right? There is no murderous aura nearby......" Sun Ce's inexplicable expression made Qiao Yuan want to smash the wine glass on his face.

"Hehe, did you just rely on your own self-confidence to enter the enemy's city?" Qiao Yuan sneered.

"Qiao Lao said with a smile, we saw that in this Anhui County, the people are farming normally and orderly, without any intention of clearing the wilderness, we know that Qiao Lao must be a loyal and righteous person, and he will definitely echo Bai Gong's benevolent and righteous teacher." Zhou Yu explained on the side.

Qiao Yuan slapped the table when he heard this: "Okay!" is worthy of Zhou Lang, the observation is really meticulous! ”

Sun Ce: ......

In short, Qiao Yuan's surrender ...... No, it should be said that it is true to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, the reason why Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were allowed to enter the city is mostly for the test, even if they dare not come in, Qiao Yuan will have other reasons to directly dedicate the city, but ...... In this way, the two may miss out on a lot.

In fact, when Qiao Yuan was having a banquet with the two, he had already ordered the soldiers at the city gate to open the door, and he didn't even make any requests.

With Bai Tu's prestige now, Qiao Yuan is not worried at all, will there be any harm to the people if he rashly lets the enemy army in......

It's just that on the night of the banquet, Zhou Yu was tortured in Qiao's Mansion and couldn't sleep all night - although he was a guest at someone else's house, it didn't seem like there should be so much to do? But Zhou Yu couldn't stand it, and the magic sound from outside filled his ears.

And he couldn't do it either, like Sun Ce, who lived in the next guest room, there was already a sound of snoring......

Zhou Yu got up in the courtyard, looking for the source of the magic sound, only to see ...... A beautiful lyre is being played with a hysterical sound like a shrew scolding the street!

For this kind of behavior, Zhou Yu, who pays attention to the rhythm of music, can only glare angrily.

[Huh? Does this man have a crush on me? Just because I listened to my piano, I was so heartbroken, what a superficial person! Behind the beautiful lyre, the equally beautiful girl looked at Zhou Yu with some surprise and disgust.

Or normal people, more should be seen directly, beautiful girl?

……

In Jinling City, Bai Tu was in the Chengji Mansion again, chatting with Jinling Ji.

In addition to Bai Tu, Lu Lingqi and Yu Ji were also present - the city walls of Jingkou had been almost built, but there was nothing else, and Yu Ji was of no value to settle in.

However, as Yu Ji expected before, Jin Ling Ji has always been the appearance of three nothings because of the previous "salty envoy knowledge", and has not recovered at all.

Fortunately, it's just because of the three nothings, so it looks dull and the reaction is relatively slow, but the intelligence has not decreased......

Just at this time, there was important military information, and Bai Tu left the Chengji Mansion.

In any case, in the eyes of the people of this world, the stay of local dignitaries in the castle palace is definitely a model of "diligence".

After all...... There are no entertainment projects in the castle palace, so what else can there be besides using the castle system and doing government affairs?

Bai Tu also thinks the same way - isn't it a big deal to care about Shimojo Ji?

The important military information transmitted back came from Wancheng!

Cheng Pu led his troops into Anhui City, and the news was first transmitted back to Anhui by fast horse, and Anhui Kou used a temporary signal tower to transmit it to the other side, and then ...... From Chaisang all the way to Jinling, it is either a signal tower, or a flat official road suitable for fast horses to transmit messages, and in just two hours, the news has been transmitted back to Jinling!

This news came no earlier than Bai Tu imagined, after all, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had illusions about Jiashi Dao at the beginning, so they delayed for a while.

However, it is still a thing worth celebrating to be able to take Wancheng almost undamaged......

After replying to the step-by-step reward, Bai Tu specifically told Sun Ce and Zhou Yu that they could start to open up wasteland in Anhui City, although it is only spring ploughing now, and it is already a little late, which will definitely affect the already low harvest, but it is better than nothing.

Time passed for another half a month, and Tai Shici, who had been on a business trip for more than half a year, finally returned from Liaodong and brought back Guan Ning, Bingyuan, and their families......
