Chapter 159: Before the Flower and Under the Moon
Yangzhou's general policy has been formulated, Zhou Yu, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Zhang Zhaoyi have decided to reward all the meritorious soldiers for their meritorious deeds, and by the way, Huang Zhong has been promoted, from a captain in Changsha County to a thief general in Yangzhou. Although he was a miscellaneous general, he was also on an equal footing with Zhou Tai, so that it was convenient for Huang Zhong to lead the army alone to conquer the Yellow Turban Army in Huiji County. Zhou Yu thought that this time the army was a good opportunity, before his men and horses were only according to the infantry, cavalry, garrison, and navy, and now he has so many generals under him, he decided to let Dian Wei and Zhou An be the main generals of the Yangzhou Guards, and they are responsible for protecting the safety of some leaders in Yangzhou. Gan Ning and Ding Feng continued to be stationed in Dongting Lake, and began to recruit troops and horses on a large scale to build warships, and they didn't have to participate in the rest of the war for the time being, Gan Ning would not be happy when this order was given, how could he not let him have a good time when the Yellow Turban Army was raging now, but Zhou Yu said that as long as you can defeat Dian Wei, where do you want to go, Gan Ning is not a fool, how can he take the initiative to find Dian Wei, a humanoid monster, to be beaten? When he saw the battleship drawings that Zhou Yu had drawn for him, his eyes were glowing green, and he dragged Ding Feng's farts to recruit his navy. Huang Zhong himself recruited a thousand or so men and horses to form a marksman army, and all of them must become sharpshooters with every shot and arrow; Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin still trained recruits on the spot, and this time Zhou Yu arranged a good errand for Zhou Tai, that is, let him take 2,000 men and horses along the Yangtze River from west to east to sweep away the mountain bandits and bullies on the road, and they must all use recruits!
Originally, Guo Jia meant to send another deputy general to Huang Zhong when he conquered Huiji County, but Zhou Yu meant to let Huang Zhong lead the sharpshooter army he had just organized to go alone, and also equip him with 500 war horses to enrich the sharpshooter army. Now Zhou Yu's side is also in short supply of manpower, Yangzhou City's hinterland belongs to its own can not be guarded by generals, this trip to Luoyang Ji is unpredictable, Dian Wei and Zhou An follow themselves is the safest! He believes in his vision and Huang Zhong's ability, who can use a big knife and a bow and arrow to rank among the five tiger generals of Shu will not be an incompetent person, sure enough, when Zhou Yu was in Luoyang, Huang Zhong wiped out the Yellow Turban Army of Huiji County in one fell swoop, which shocked the government and the opposition! Of course, that's all for later-
"Zhou An-who did you just say is here?" Zhou Yu laboriously finished talking about the general policy, and he felt a little tired, as if he remembered someone waiting for him.
"Eh—it was Qiao Mao who brought his two daughters to thank the young master! I've been waiting in the side hall for a long time-" Zhou An squinted at the sky outside when he spoke, and the sun was a little westward before the young master of their family remembered this. made the Qiao family's father and daughter wait for three hours in vain, but fortunately, they let people change tea and water from time to time.
"How many hours have they been here? I vaguely remember hearing someone say it around noon - it looks like I really rushed over! As soon as he heard that the father and daughter of the Qiao family were visiting, Zhou Yu's mind flashed a girl in white who was victorious, and the slap on his face.
"Haha - the beauty is coming, take advantage of it! Haha-"
Guo Jia's unbridled laughter sounded behind him, Zhou Yu could only shake his head helplessly and walked towards the side hall, he regarded Guo Jia's words as if he couldn't hear them, otherwise others would think that spring had arrived!
"Sister-you said we've been here for so long, why haven't you seen that villain coming-is it that he didn't remember us at all, hum-let's go!" Zhou Yu was about to turn the corner and step into the courtyard of the side hall when he heard someone talking, and it was a very nice woman's voice. He suddenly stopped his steps and almost hit Zhou An, who was following behind, he also wanted to hear what kind of person he was in the eyes of other girls? Zhou Yu quietly bent his waist and motioned to Zhou An not to make a sound, and quietly lay at the base of the wall and pricked up his ears to listen to what was being said inside.
"Xiaomei, don't be angry, my sister doesn't know you yet-the little girl has a set of words and a set of hearts and a set, if it wasn't for Lord Zhou sacrificing his life to save him that time, I'm afraid you and I sisters would have been separated by yin and yang. Lord Zhou is really the great benefactor of our Qiao family, don't you see that my father has been sitting and waiting? As you saw when we entered the city yesterday, there were soldiers outside the city who were picking up corpses. Presumably, Lord Zhou is busy with official business, so listen to my sister's words and sit down and wait slowly! Another gentle voice began to speak, as if to dissuade Qiao Xiaomei.
"Sister—doesn't he have to be hospitable no matter how busy he is? People come to see him from afar, why doesn't he even take a look, it must be this villain who is hiding in the corner to watch my jokes, he is a stinky villain with a small belly, and I can't clean him up when I see him! Hmph-" Qiao Xiaomei still looked unrelenting, as if Zhou Yu owed her money. Hearing Qiao Xiaomei's words, Zhou Yu broke out in a cold sweat, how could this girl feel so sensitive, but he still bent down and didn't move.
"Xiaomei - don't mess around! You are not afraid that your father will serve in the family law after returning home, in recent days, my sister has asked a lot about Lord Zhou, if you are idle now, my sister will tell you what kind of person Lord Zhou is? ”
"I don't want to listen—huh—"
Although Qiao Xiaomei muttered, her sister could see that she was just a boiled duck with a hard mouth. I saw her lightly open her lips and said: "Xiaomei, Lord Zhou's age is similar to you, he is the son of Zhou Xian, the former Luoyang Ling, he has been the companion of the prince, and he has been the captain of the city gate, but he was later degraded out of Beijing and came to Yangzhou because he offended the general." Master Zhou won the title of the world's first genius at a young age. The vain eyebrows, daughter's love, and Man Jianghong that are sung by people are from this person's handwriting, but what I didn't expect was that Zhou Daren was an all-rounder who could write and martial arts. After arriving in Yangzhou, the officials were purged, and a recruitment list was posted so that talented children from the poor family could be put to use, and this time the rebellion launched by the Yellow Turban thieves was quickly pacified by Master Zhou. According to my sister, Master Zhou is a big hero! ”
"Sister—what kind of person is he? I always felt a sense of déjà vu, and I felt very close to him when I met him. Sister, if you were asked to choose a husband, what would you choose? Qiao Xiaomei listened to her sister attentively, and felt that Zhou Yu looked like a big hero in his mind.
"Why did the little girl start thinking about spring? Hehe - the husband that my sister wants must be a talented and outstanding person in the world, otherwise my sister would rather be alone for the rest of her life! It's just that I don't know if God will favor me, a poor man, and I am getting older and older with you. I guess my dad is thinking about how to send my sister out of the cabinet! Xiaomei, what kind of husband do you want to choose? Sister asked with a smile.
"I don't need my husband to be a hero or a world-famous person, I just hope that the husband I am looking for is someone who can spend my life with me." Hearing Qiao Xiaomei's criteria for choosing a son-in-law, she suddenly poked Zhou Yu's heart. Once upon a time, he heard the same vow in the same place, but he had been trying to change and struggle, but in the end it came to naught. The second rebirth made him understand that his existence was not only for his own happiness, but also for the happiness of the world. The strife of the Three Kingdoms era has long since collapsed in the north and south dynasties, and he doesn't want to see the recurrence of human tragedy, he wants to find his love here again and set off again towards his goal.
"Sister, it seems that Master Zhou is just right for you, why don't you just let your father propose to you?"
"Sister-I'll just go and tell Daddy that Auntie wants to marry that villain!"
"You naughty girl-hehe-"
"Sister-stop making trouble! It's so itchy—"
"Giggle-"
"Lord Zhou is here—" Zhou Yu tidied up his wrinkled clothes, and motioned to Zhou An to remind the people in the courtyard not to wait for himself to go in and see some embarrassing pictures.
Sure enough, Zhou An's voice scared the two sisters who were frolicking, and quickly sorted out their uniforms, Zhou Yu walked in just enough time for them to clean up, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he said: "I'm sorry - it's really busy with official business, and I neglected the two girls, did Ling Zun also come?" ”
Qiao Xiaomei keenly found that Zhou Yu's clothes were still stained with some mud, and all the roads in the Taishou Mansion were paved with bluestones, so it was impossible to rub on the dirt. She suddenly remembered that there was a flower and plant that had just been watered today at the door outside the side hall, and with a sudden voice, she suddenly understood that Zhou Yu was really eavesdropping outside, thinking of this, Qiao Xiaomei's face suddenly turned red.
