Chapter 22: Advance and Retreat (2)
In the early summer of Cuiyin, Zhou Yu was dressed in plain clothes and stood in the fireworks. Xiao Qiao hurried over, but saw Zhou Yu stopped and stood around the corner stunned for a long time.
He is still so handsome and dusty, and he can unconsciously influence the heartbeat of others. Xiao Qiao stroked his chest and forced himself to concentrate on breathing, but his palpitations did not improve in the slightest.
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Yu didn't know when he came, and Qingquan's gurgling voice suddenly sounded, startling Xiao Qiao to jump on the spot. She hung her little head in a weak heart and murmured, "No, nothing, what are you looking for me?" ”
Zhou Yu arched his hand and said: "I heard that Miss Xiao Qiao was abducted when she was a child, Zhou wanted to ask about the specific situation, but I don't know ......."
Hearing this, Xiao Qiao's face turned pale in an instant, and she immediately turned her back to Zhou Yu, her thin shoulders trembling slightly.
Zhou Yu saw Xiao Qiao's reaction like this, and understood that this matter should be a shadow of her childhood. But this is not only related to the mystery of the assassination of Sun Ce's father Sun Jian five years ago, but also related to why Xiao Qiao was injured by strange birds one after another, Zhou Yu had to investigate, he patted Xiao Qiao's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, with me, no one will be able to hurt you, you just have to tell me everything you can remember, okay?" ”
Zhou Yu's big hand seemed to be able to transmit reassuring power, Xiao Qiao gradually stopped trembling, and said intermittently: "I ...... that year At the age of five, he and his sister were in the old house in Wancheng...... Three or five family members took care of us, and I didn't like to sleep at noon, so a mother-in-law took me out to play...... I don't remember clearly, but I remember that I seemed to have been abducted to a mountain, and there was a ruined temple on the mountain, and there were many children in it, but those children slowly didn't know where to go, and in the end only I was left with a boy, who was much older than me, and should have been eleven or twelve years old at that time, and he was quite good-looking......"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's hand on Xiao Qiao's thin shoulder subconsciously shook it, and Xiao Qiao hurriedly turned back to the topic: "I didn't understand anything at the time, but I vaguely remember that they kept talking about my life character feng shui." I was scared and escaped one night in the rain. Those people naturally wanted to chase, and since I was my father's daughter, I would rather die than be a puppet, so I jumped off the cliff when I was desperate. ”
Looking at the thin girl with a thin body and delicate eyebrows in front of her, Zhou Yu's heart was suddenly a little shocked, but her face was silent: "And then?" How did you find your way home? ”
"When I woke up again, I was lying in an old man's straw basket, and he healed my broken leg and sent me back to Anhui. When he was leaving, he gave me a prescription to apply to the affected area when I applied the medicine, which would relieve the pain, but I should not pass it on easily. ”
"Is that old man ......" Zhou Yu contacted the previous situation, only to feel that the suspicions in his heart suddenly resolved.
Sure enough, Xiao Qiao replied: "Divine Doctor Hua Tuo." ”
It seems that the rumors that Hua Tuo practiced medicine in Lujiang seven or eight years ago are true, but what does this so-called Five Elements Life Grid have to do with Sun Jian's assassination, Zhou Yu still can't figure it out: "Little Qiao girl, what else can you think of about that mountain?" ”
Xiao Qiao looked back carefully, Zhou Yu remembered seriously, the years were like water in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, the sun had set under the West Mountain. Zhou Yu waved at Xiao Qiao: "Today's matter, Zhou thanked Miss Xiao Qiao." In the future, if the girl remembers any details, she can come to me at any time. ”
Xiao Qiao bowed her head slightly, and when she saw Zhou Yu turn around and want to leave, she hurriedly grabbed his sleeve: "Zhou Gongjin ......"
At this moment, Sun Ce's loud shout came from not far away: "So you are here, let me find it!" ”
Xiao Qiao's cheeks turned red, and he hurriedly let go. Sun Ce strode forward, not noticing Xiao Qiao's embarrassment, and stuffed the letterhead into her hand: "Give your sister's reply, take the trouble to help me give it to her." ”
Xiao Qiao glanced at Sun Ce and said unhappily: "I'm not your calling girl, why let me help deliver the message, and I didn't even thank you?" ”
Sun Ce smiled perfunctorily and said, "Thank you, thank you, when I lay down Lujiang, I will buy you candy to eat." ”
Xiao Qiao "cut" and turned to leave. Seeing this, Sun Ce beckoned Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, let's go back too, those old men are going to nag again when they are in a hurry." ”
In the family camp, Da Qiao stood at the tent door, looking forward to Xiao Qiao's return. Yuan Jun has taken over the land of Luyang, and according to the rules, tomorrow morning, the relatives will be sent to Luyang for resettlement. Even so, Da Qiao didn't dare to meet Sun Ce, for fear of upsetting his father, but the thoughts and worries in his heart not only did not decrease by half a point, but were tactfully entangled and intensified like the rattan helmet.
Xiao Qiao strode back, panting and handed the letterhead to Da Qiao, and then jumped into the account and lay straight on the couch: "Sun Bofu's reply...... You two get along, but you're going to exhaust me to death. ”
Da Qiao didn't care to reply, and hurriedly unfolded the letterhead and read it. Sun Ce's words are like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, jumping on the paper, like his own character. Seeing Da Qiao's sweet smile, Xiao Qiao got up and teased, "Sister, what did you and Sun Bofu say?" Did you write 'Evil, I want to know Sun Lang and live a long life', and he replied, 'I'd rather die than marry Ying'er, and I will never lose my ambition'? ”
Da Qiao's little face was red and white for a while, and he said angrily: "Wan'er is skinny, I'm really angry...... What I wrote with Sun Lang is just a method I came up with to break the city, whether it can be used well or not, I am not sure at all. ”
"The way to break the city?" Xiao Qiao exclaimed, "Sister actually came up with a way to break Shu City?" ”
Under Sun Ce's account, the generals will deliberate. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai opened the curtain and entered, only to see Zhou Yu and Han Dang sitting on Sun Ce's left and right. Cheng Pu was dissatisfied with Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's inseparability, so he stepped forward and said: "The old man's ears are not good, and he ......can't hear clearly when he sits far away."
Zhou Yu understood what Cheng Pu meant, chuckled, got up to give up his seat, and walked to the last seat on the left to sit down.
Cheng Pu is a veteran in the army, Sun Ce can't say anything, so he just said: "Everyone is here, let's talk about the siege." This afternoon, I discussed with Gong Jin, and the plan was decided. Gongjin, Shucheng is your ancestral hometown, you know the situation here best, tell everyone. ”
Zhou Yu stepped forward and said with his back hand: "Lu Taishou has the support of the people in the city, and swears to fight with us to the end, it is obviously not advisable to attack frontally, and it is necessary to launch a surprise attack, and at night when the people cannot come to support in time, it is the best policy to take Shucheng in one fell swoop." To this end, I have developed the following proposals......"
Zhou Yu told several ways to break the city one by one, during which everyone listened attentively. After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Sun Ce asked left and right: "What do the generals think?" ”
Cheng Pu took the lead in replying: "Cheng thought that this plan was wonderful, but it was too time-consuming and variable, and it was difficult to succeed." Cheng has fought countless battles with the old general, and it has not been so laborious to attack Gyeonggi Luoyang, let alone this small city with tens of thousands of people? If you are worried about the casualties of the people, how will the major general make contributions in the future? Cheng's hands have been stained with the blood of countless people, if the major general cares about his reputation, he can hand it over to Cheng. When Shucheng is captured, the major general can claim to the outside world that Cheng is good at making claims, and Cheng has no complaints. ”
"Could it be that in the eyes of General Cheng, my Sun Bofu is such a person who sells his reputation and has no responsibility?"
Cheng Pu pondered for a long time, not knowing how to answer, so he simply made it clear: "Young General, is there any other reason why you care so much about this city?" Han Yan of the Wu Emperor Dynasty, the official supreme doctor did not dare to influence political affairs. The major general should not miss the opportunity to attack the city because of someone......"
As we all know, Han Yan is the male favorite of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is recorded in the "Historical Records" that the two lie and sleep together. Cheng Pu used this as an analogy between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and Sun Ce couldn't help but be furious: "Cheng Demou! ”
Cheng Pu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If you want to kill or punish, it will be up to the young general, but Cheng can't look at the kindness of the young general's wife and hate it for ten thousand years!" ”
Sun Ce forcibly suppressed his temperament, and said word by word: "I don't attack Shucheng, I really care about this place is Gongjin's hometown, but in addition, I cherish it even more because it is the first battle in my Sun Bofu's life!" If the name of indiscriminate killing of innocents spreads, no matter where I fight in the future, I can only attack, and the people in those places will fight more and more fiercely! My Sun Bofu doesn't want to do this, and I don't want to be covered with corpses everywhere no matter where the army goes! Besides Gong Jin, who has a good strategy for surprise attacks? But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
