The north wind blew off the horses' neighing, the temperature plummeted, and the fine ice gradually turned into snow, which was sprinkled on Chaohu Lake one after another, and in a few moments, a thin layer of ice condensed on the surface of the lake.

In the barracks, Xiao Qiao, who rarely sees snow, is very excited, she stands in the wind and snow in a single dress with a flower jacket, raising her little hand to catch the broken Qiong Chaoyu, and her smile is more pure than snow.

Da Qiao leaned on the east fence, looking at the falling snow, but forgot to add clothes to Xiao Qiao, thinking that under the heavy snow, the siege of the city would definitely be blocked, how should Sun Ce improvise?

As Da Qiao thought, this winter's cold is really rare for Jiangnan. But the pros and cons are interacting, and what is affected by the wind and snow is not only the siege army?

In the early winter of this year, there was no hoarding of cotton in Shucheng, and the soldiers defending the city only wore single clothes, which was difficult to resist the cold armor. Within a few days, more than 100 people suffered from frostbite. The rest, who were not sick, stood in the cold wind with their necks hunched, exhausted. Needless to say, the long period of defending the city had exhausted their will. After Lu Kang became seriously ill, the remaining generals only cared about fighting for power and profit, and harmed each other. Between hunger and cold, the sky is full of snow, the scenery is desolate, and the shouts of the besieging army are more like embattled. The defenders of the city could not help but tremble, and the hands holding the bow and raising the sword were already unstable.

With a shout, more than 100 cavalrymen followed Sun Ce, who was charging with spears, against the flow of people, and broke into Shucheng with a rainbow of momentum. However, their expected shouts of killing did not sound, nor did they encounter decent resistance, and the houses of Qianmo were all submerged in the snowstorm, the shops had long been closed, and the people's livelihood withered. Sun Ce easily captured hundreds of defenders in the city with only these more than 100 cavalry, but Lu Kang was the only one missing.

Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and Han Dang led their troops into the city in three ways, and saw Sun Ce standing in the city with his waist crossed, commanding the soldiers to distribute rice and grain to the people. The hungry people lined up in long lines, with no end in sight. I thought that the time of death had come, but I didn't think that there would be a good thing of distributing food and rice today, and the hungry people received five catties of corn from the soldiers, and they were all grateful, and called "young general" with tears.

From being spurned by thousands of people to being supported by others, the situation changed suddenly, Sun Ce was a little embarrassed, and smiled at everyone: "You don't have to be so polite, just call me Sun Lang ......"

Zhou Yu heard this from afar, and secretly laughed in his heart that Sun Ce was still handsome at this time, but his steps did not stop for a moment. When Sun Ce saw Zhou Yu, he immediately walked quickly to the high platform to greet him, and said excitedly: "Gong Jin, your strategy really works!" As you might expect, the defenders have no intention of fighting. ”

Shucheng is Zhou Yu's hometown, and when he saw the ruins of the city walls and the famine of the people, he felt bad in his heart. It's only been more than half a year, and the governance of Lujiang County has been turned upside down, and Qingge is not there. But all this is not the fault of one person, neither Lu Kang nor Sun Ce. Zhou Yu suppressed his emotions and said: "Fortunately, otherwise, there will be casualties in a short battle." By the way, where is Lu Taishou? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of cataplexy from the side. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu followed the prestige, but when they saw a man in cloth being pressed to the ground by Zhou Tai, Cheng Pu brandished a big knife and said from the side: "Who are you?" I dare to trespass, but I'm impatient! ”

"Cheng will keep people under his sword!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly and stepped forward with Sun Ce. Seeing this, Cheng Pu hurriedly put down the big knife and bowed to Sun Ce. Sun Ce glanced at the man, his eyebrows furrowed: "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the young general, this person ignored the guards' warnings and suddenly broke in, and the old man was worried that he had bad intentions, so he let people take it."

As he spoke, Jiang Qin searched the man all over his body, turned around and said, "Tell the young general that this person did not carry a murder weapon." ”

Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "Let him go and let him speak for himself." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Tai gave up his hand and took the order, got up and retreated to the side.

The man gasped a few times, looked at Sun Ce, as if he had seen the king of Hades, and trembled like chaff: "Villain...... It's a servant of the Lu family, and my family said I wanted to see you......"

Cheng Pu snorted heavily, and put the knife on the man's neck with his backhand: "Lu Kangzhi's family is strict in governing the army, will there be a wreck like you under his subordinates?" What evidence do you have to prove that you are a member of the Lu family? ”

The man trembled and took out a waist tag from the waistband of his trousers, wrote the word "Lu" on it, and handed it to the guard next to him. Jiang Qin and Cheng Pu didn't pick it up, but Zhou Tai took it, and looked left and right.

Sun Ce was disgusted and funny: "Why are you hiding in your crotch, and your fart stinks?" ”

The man replied with a sad face: "There are too many bandits, and I am the only one left on the side of the adult, so I can't lose this brand no matter what......"

Sun Ce's expression was complicated, and he sighed with a smile: "Although it's a little disgusting, but I'm loyal, I also want to see Lord Lu, where are the others?" ”

"In ...... In the ......, the man's lips trembled with fear, and he couldn't speak clearly for a long time.

Huang Gai, who has always been straightforward and fast-talking, couldn't hold it back, and stepped forward to grab the big knife in Cheng Pu's hand: "Why are you so abrasive!" Say it if you want to! ”

The more Huang Gai was like this, the more frightened this person became, his face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he couldn't see the seven spirits.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "General Huang, don't worry, let me ask him." ”

Zhou Yu squatted down and chatted with the man in the Shucheng dialect, and the man calmed down and replied, "If you ...... If you want to see my family, you have to come with me. But my lord said that if you go, you can only go alone......"

Huang Gaifu raised the big knife pressed by Zhou Yu and said angrily: "What nonsense! This must be your strategy, if you want to harm our major general, how can we be fooled! ”

"Slow", Sun Ce patted Huang Gai's shoulder and continued to ask: "Just now we have searched the Lu family and counted everyone in the mansion, but we haven't seen Lu Taishou and his wife, and now you are jumping out with a waist card and saying that you want to take me to see Lu Taishou, which is really a bit strange." You think about it and say it slowly, how can I trust you? ”

Cheng Pu Huanggai is really vicious, but fortunately, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are reconciled, and the man easily gasped: "Since you have searched your home, you must have heard that the adult was seriously ill a month ago." The little one was the envoy of the adults, and he went out of the city to recuperate, and today he guessed that there would be an accident in the city, so he specially asked me to come and invite him...... The lord said, if you don't believe it, mention the matter of Shucheng asking to see you five years ago, and when you hear this, you will go with me. ”

Five years ago, when Sun Ce came to Shucheng to look for Zhou Yu, he asked to see Lu Kang, but Lu Kang didn't seem to take him seriously, and only sent the chief secretary to send him away. Only Lu Kang, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce knew about this matter, and I think this person should indeed be sent by Lu Kang.

Sun Ce's body stiffened, closed his eyes and chuckled: "It's too, five years have passed, I thought that old fool had long forgotten, the last time we met in his mansion, he also pretended not to mention it, but today he said so...... Take me to him. ”

Huang Gai Chengpu and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were all shocked: "The young general thinks twice!" ”

Sun Ce crossed the silver spear and said with a crooked smile: "If I am afraid of even an old man in his last years, wouldn't it be a joke to cower!" ”

At this time, a soldier came to report and muttered a few words to Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin bowed slightly, stepped forward and whispered to Zhou Yu: "Lord Zhou, it has been ascertained that Qu in the middle of the city has been captured by our department, and the number of people has been completely checked, and there is no fish that have slipped through the net. ”

Zhou Yu had a bottom in his heart, and came to Sun Ce lightly: "Be steady on the road." ”

Sun Ce turned around, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Zhou Yu: "Don't worry, I have lived here with you for several years, and I am very familiar with everything here." Help me put the departments together, and I'll come as soon as I go. ”

After speaking, Sun Ce picked up the twelve-edged silver spear, flew on his horse, and said to the messenger: "Lead the way in front of the head." ”
