Under Sun Cejun, Cheng Pu Huang Gai and Han Dang Zhu Zhi have been on the battlefield for a long time and are very familiar with attacking cities. Even if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are not there, they can still handle the affairs of the city in an orderly manner. By sunset, the inner and outer city defenses of Shucheng had been replaced by the lower part of Sun Ce.

Sun Ce instructed his subordinates to treat the Lu family leniently, and then led the crowd back to the camp. In this battle, the soldiers were not lost, and the battalion garrisoned regardless of the cold and frost, and celebrated in the middle of the road, and more than 100 people crowded at the gate and shouted in unison: "Mighty!" Mighty! Mighty! ”

The cheers were like a tsunami in the mountains, but Sun Ce's eyes were only fixed on the thin figure in the lamplight. Da Qiao Bing's stunning posture, even standing behind the crowd is very prominent, she smiled with her eyebrows, looking at the heroic figure on the tall horse, her expression was extremely gentle. When her eyes met, she blushed with shame and looked to the side, not daring to look at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce saw that Da Qiao was ashamed, but the more she was like this, the more unwilling he was to let go. Sun Ce turned over and dismounted, walked through the congratulatory crowd, and came straight to Da Qiao, regardless of his left and right eyes, grabbed her hands, squeezed his eyes and chuckled: "Ying'er, I'm back, I'm attacking the city today, so I'm worried about you." ”

Da Qiao obviously didn't expect that Sun Ce didn't pay attention to everyone's congratulations, but came directly to him, her face was red and embarrassed, and she wanted to withdraw her little hand. Sun Ce dragged on to the death, not giving her a chance to leave. Da Qiao raised his eyes and muttered in a low voice, as if he was saying to Sun Ce and to someone behind him: "Daddy......"

Father? Sun Ce's body sank, turned around and looked, only to see Qiao Rui and Zhou Yu standing not far away, he was embarrassed for a while, turned around to greet him, and saluted Qiao Rui: "I heard that General Qiao was sick before, Sun was very anxious, and now I see that the general is safe, so I feel at ease." ”

Sun Ce's words were sincere, but he seemed a little insincere when he said it, he was a person who was quite good at words, but at this moment he secretly scolded himself for being stupid. Fortunately, Qiao Rui didn't take it to heart, and saluted Sun Ce back: "General Sun Shao is hard, please come into my account, this general has something important to do, and he will negotiate with General Sun Shao." ”

Qiao Rui's face was not good, and her expression was even more gloomy. Sun Ce didn't know why, but he had to say yes, and after instructing a few veterans, he walked towards the camp with Qiao Rui.

The heavy snow that had been falling for a whole day finally stopped, and it was rare to be so white and clean in the deep winter of the southern country. The crowd was still celebrating the victory, but Big Joe was not happy at all. When I saw my father today, I suddenly felt that he was much older, his eyes were dark, and he wanted to speak again, as if there was something unspeakable, and now when he saw his father calling Sun Ce, Da Qiao's heart was even more in his throat. Although the siege went smoothly, she didn't know if she could do it in the future, but what could she do but wait endlessly? Even if there is Zhang Liangji, it is difficult to have both family affection and love, Da Qiao stood in the vast snow, but his heart seemed to be in boiling water, boiling and restless.

Zhou Yu, like Da Qiao, has not yet let go of his high heart. Today, the front foot broke Shucheng, and the strange bird came on its heels, and there were more than 100 of them in a flock, seriously injuring hundreds of people in Qiao Rui's lower part. And a few days ago, Sun Ce had already sent all kinds of evidence of Li Feng's secret alliance with Huang Zu, and sent someone to pass it on to Shouchun Bao and Yuan Shu, it stands to reason that even if Li Feng has an accomplice, he should be reined in, how could such a bloody case be caused?

Human life is at stake, and Zhou Yu didn't have time to think about it, so he only cared about collecting medicinal materials everywhere to treat those soldiers who were still struggling with bird poison. But there was a faint thought swirling in his mind, as if he was bidding farewell to Yishan, and the person playing the flute on the top of the mountain did not stop, but there was a bit of a sense of the beginning of the curtain and the meaning of having fun.

In the military tent, Qiao Rui slowly walked onto the soft seat. Although it was the middle of winter, he was sweating profusely. Sun Ce noticed that Qiao Rui was not in good health, and thought thoughtfully: "General Qiao's injury has not healed yet, so he came quickly, but what is the most important matter?" ”

Qiao Rui waved his hand to signal Sun Ce to sit down, and then took out the daytime bamboo slices from the medicine bag he carried, pressed them under his tongue and suppressed the cough: "General Sun, a few days ago, did you send a letter to Shouchun and report to the lord, my subordinate general Li Feng rebelled against the enemy?" ”

"What Sun has reported, there is real evidence for all the piles, does General Qiao want to protect the short?" Although he tried his best not to think about Qiao Rui carrying a burden five years ago and delaying crossing the river, and he didn't want to blame him for his father's murder, it was inevitable that there would be mustard in his heart.

Fortunately, Qiao Rui didn't delve into the meaning of the collision in his words, and coughed and said, "Where is General Ben now?" When the lord saw the paperwork you played, he was furious! Li Feng even took the opportunity to complain, saying that you were jealous of your colleagues, stubborn and self-serving, and the siege of the city was postponed for your own sake, and you would only talk on paper and refused to cooperate with the siege of the city...... The lord was furious, and wanted to go to the court and abolish your Huaiyi lieutenant, this is a document, and the major general will see it himself. ”

After Cao Cao annexed Xuzhou, Yuan Shuxin thought in his heart that he would expand his territory and fight for power. Qiao Rui's defeat made Yuan Shu lose a good opportunity to occupy Xuzhou, and at this time, he received a secret letter from Sun Ce exposing Li Feng.

Needless to say, this time he was indeed careless in his planning, and he didn't take into account the impact of the defeat of Xuzhou on Yuan Shu's mood, but he is such a "lord", willful and domineering, and he doesn't know people, so stupid, how can he be expected to be able to choose talents?

Sun Ce was angry and funny, but it was difficult to show it on his face. How could Qiao Rui not see his grievances, and sighed: "Fortunately, you have won the siege today, and General Ben has sent someone to send this news back to Shouchun, maybe it can make the lord change his mind...... Otherwise, the position of the major general who is too guarded by Lujiang is only afraid of worrying. ”

This position of Lujiang Taishou is not only related to whether he can go west to conquer Huangzu Liu Biao and avenge his father, but also whether he can marry Da Qiao as his wife. Thinking of this, Sun Ce's back suddenly cooled, he bowed to Qiao Rui, and said in a deep voice: "There is General Luo Qiao." ”

After the gang prepared today's dinner, Zhou Yu borrowed the stove in the gang room to cook medicine. There are many soldiers who have been pecked by birds, and if they are not treated in time, they will be in danger of dying. Zhou Yu immediately ordered Lu Meng's nearby villages to find seven or eight medicinal pots, fill them with medicinal materials, and then bake them slowly.

Lu Meng was not a delicate person, he was not good at taking care of medicinal materials, and after the preparations were done, Zhou Yu asked him to go back to the room to rest, and then personally looked at the seven or eight medicinal pots.

The snow stopped suddenly, and it was extremely cold in the starless and moonless night, but the house was steaming. Just when Zhou Yu was busy, the door suddenly creaked, and he didn't raise his head, taking it for granted that it was Lu Meng: "You don't have to help, clumsiness will only add to the chaos, go back and rest early." ”

Xiao Qiao's voice was clear, like hibiscus crying, but his tone was very naughty: "I think I'm clumsy, why do you still wear the clothes I made?" ”

Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu felt rude, got up and greeted: "I thought it was Ameng, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Xiao Qiao...... The medicine here is too heavy, and it is not a place where the girl's family can stay, so please go back. ”

How did Xiao Qiao refuse to leave, stepped forward and pulled the pu fan in Zhou Yu's hand, and gently fanned the fire: "I tried this prescription, you just drove me away like this, it's too unseemly?" ”

Hearing what Xiao Qiao said, Zhou Yu hurriedly smiled and said: "The girl's intention to sacrifice her life to save her, Zhou will never forget, but it's just ......"

"Isn't this enough", Xiao Qiao didn't wait for Zhou Yu to finish speaking, he stepped forward and fanned seven or eight medicine stoves, "It is said that I should thank you today, if you didn't rush there, my father would only be afraid of suffering." ”

Seeing that Zhou Yu looked at him and didn't answer, Xiao Qiao shook his little hand in front of his eyes: "What's wrong?" Stunned. ”

Zhou Yu thought of the strange bird, and her heart was puzzled, but saying that she had nothing to do with Xiao Qiao would only make her more annoying, Zhou Yu shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I just think that Xiao Qiao seems to have grown up and speaks like an adult." ”

"Isn't it? After the New Year, I will be fourteen", Xiao Qiao blinked lightly, tilted his head at Zhou Yu and smiled, and continued to fan the fire.

This pot of medicine, fine roasting, and then grinding into powder, adjusting the medicine and rubbing strips and pills, the process is the same. The two worked together until late at night, Xiao Qiao was so tired that her two slender arms couldn't lift up, she gently wiped the fine sweat on her forehead, sat down and pounded her thin shoulders: "Zhou Lang, Shucheng has been conquered, Sun Bofu has become a Taishou, are you going to marry my sister." ”

"If it goes well, it should be so......"

"That'...... What about you? ”

"Me?" Zhou Yu didn't understand what Xiao Qiao meant, and was completely at a loss.

"Later...... Can I still see you? The fire reflected Xiao Qiao's fair little face, but she knew very well that the two blush on her cheeks were not the work of the firelight.

Zhou Yu smiled kindly, as if there was a breeze and a bright moon, he raised his hand and brushed Xiao Qiao's horn, and said lightly: "When your sister marries Bo Fu, I'm afraid it's not difficult for you to see me if you don't want to see me......"

Looking at Zhou Yu in front of him, who was like a rich god and a jade, and was dignified and dusty, Xiao Qiao's nose was sour, and he wanted to speak again: "You...... When to return to the nest? ”

"When Bo Fu is settled, I will go back. Last year, the water in Chaohu Lake rose in the summer, and the people suffered from it, so I went back earlier, so I could make plans as soon as possible. ”

Although Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are good friends, as long as there is such a relationship, they will definitely meet again in the future. But the girl's heart is infinite, and when she hears the separation, she suddenly feels confused, Xiao Qiao Muran bows her head, and tears fall on Su Yu's little hand, she hurriedly turns to the dark place and quietly wipes away her tears.

Zhou Yu somewhat understood Xiao Qiao's thoughts, and when he saw her sad, he was about to be relieved, but when he heard the door of the room open, Sun Ce walked in and shouted: "Gong Jin, have you finished it, why did it take ......so long?"

After Sun Cefang talked with Qiao Rui, there were many things he wanted to discuss with Zhou Yu, but he couldn't wait in his tent, so he came to the room to find someone. Unexpectedly, what caught my eye was Xiao Qiao, who was teary-eyed. Sun Ce was startled and asked Zhou Yu in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Why is my sister-in-law crying? ”

Zhou Yu didn't want Xiao Qiao to be embarrassed, so he said casually: "The fire is scorching, and it should be okay to smoke Miss Xiao Qiao." ”

Sun Ce was skeptical, but he didn't have the heart to ask carefully, and said hurriedly: "Come with me, I have something important to discuss with you." ”

At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, a waning moon hung on the tops, and although the soldiers guarding the camp were cold and curled up, they were full of spirit because of the daytime breaking the city, and they did not slack off.

Sun Ce walked into the Chinese military tent with Zhou Yu, he remembered Qiao Rui's words, and was unwilling: "Gongjin, you say, do I have to wait here stupidly according to General Qiao's suggestion?" That Yuan Shu's brain didn't know how to turn, capricious, suspicious and gullible...... I heard that when my father was a soldier before, a villain slandered me, saying that my father had a heart of disobedience, but Yuan Shu actually believed it, and immediately cut off my father's grain and grass. My father had to hurry back to the camp for 800 miles to present his case to face, and Yuan Shu believed in my father's loyalty. Since he loves to listen to people report in person, why don't I go back to Shouchun and talk to him about it, it's better than sitting here and waiting to die? ”

Zhou Yu frowned and thought for a moment: "Since you have already said it, you can only wait stupidly here, you might as well go to Shouchun to have a look, and you can explore the details of Li Feng." In any case, this position of Lujiang Taishou is very important to you, if you can occupy this place, you can attack and retreat, and it will be beneficial in the future. ”

Sun Ce understood the deep meaning of Zhou Yu's words, and winked at him: "Don't worry, I understand." With this position of taishou, I will soon be able to marry Ying'er as my wife, otherwise I would have tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night when I thought that she would return to the camp with General Qiao and face a villain like Li Feng...... If it weren't for the fact that it was to bring out more inside information, I would have been unable to keep this Li Feng for a long time, and I would have chopped him up and fed him to the dogs! ”

"Bo Fu, that strange bird is here again today, I'm afraid it's not a good intention. I always felt that the owner of this strange bird was very aware of our actions and could even predict our actions...... But what he wanted, I really couldn't guess at all. ”

"After a long time, I will always show my feet, I don't believe it, with you and me, can't you fight this bird?"

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Zhou Yu raised his forehead and smiled: "By the way, how is Lu Taishou's health?" When you meet him today, are all going well? ”

Sun Ce thought of the dying Lu Kang, his heart was uncomfortable, and he couldn't help sighing: "I really didn't expect that in just half a year, he would be so sick." Gong Jin, people live for a lifetime, they are really fragile, I can't imagine what it will be like when you and I get old...... When we come back from Shouchun, let's go see him again. ”

Before Zhou Yu could agree, he saw Sun Quan hurriedly open the curtain and enter, and he didn't care about saluting, and said in a panic: "Brother, it's not good!" Mother Fang received a letter from Wu County, and Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, suddenly turned his face with Yuan Shu, drove our uncle away from Wu County, and expelled him all the way to Liyang...... Wu Jun's home was also raided, and my mother hurried back in a hurry and specially asked me to come and talk to my brother. ”

"What?" Sun Ce got up suddenly, accidentally knocked over the wooden case, the teacups and bowls were dripping and turning, and the documents were scattered all over the ground, but he didn't care about these, and walked straight forward, looking at Sun Quan, who was sweating profusely, "How is my uncle doing now?" Are you hurt? ”

"I don't know yet", Sun Quan replied as he turned out, "Mother is already packing up and loading the car, and I have to leave tonight, I have to go back to help quickly." ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu exchanged looks, and walked out with Sun Quan. Sure enough, Mrs. Wu and Sun Shangxiang were standing in the snow in front of the barracks, moving things into the carriage. Sun Ce hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother, don't be busy, I'll give you an order, or General Zhu Zhi will lead the troops to send you back to Wu County." General Zhu has been on the battlefield for a long time, loyal and veteran, and can adapt to any situation if necessary...... As for my uncle's side, do we need to send troops to pick it up? ”

At midnight when the heavy snow first stopped, the cold wind whistled by, blowing down the residual snow on the trees and scraping her cheeks, but Mrs. Wu's voice was a little more bleak than this cold winter day: "No need, your uncle has moved to a safe place, and he will rush back to Shouchun in the near future...... Bo Fu, Gong Jin, you two must take good care of each other, the weather is cold, you must protect your body......"

Mrs. Wu's words meant something else, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce both understood, and hurriedly said yes. Seeing that Mrs. Wu turned around and wanted to leave, but there was no word to say, Sun Ce hurriedly stopped, scratching his head and feeling a little embarrassed: "That, mother, although now is not the time to say this...... But I'm going to be too shou of Lujiang soon, I, I'm going to ask to marry Ying'er as my wife......"

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was in a bad mood, Sun Shangxiang had been standing obediently on the side, trying her best to restrain herself, and she didn't even dare to react when she saw Zhou Yu.

Mrs. Wu glanced at Sun Shangxiang, sighed helplessly, and said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, what you said today, did you inform your mother, or discuss it with your mother?" ”

Sun Ce hurriedly explained: "Mother's words are serious, how can you say that she has been informed? Ying'er and I are in love, I ...... I hope my mother will like her......"

Looking at Sun Ce's longing gaze, Mrs. Wu couldn't bear it and felt distressed, the battle was won, he worked so hard, how could a mother be willing to cut a knife in his heart? Even though she felt that the future was unpredictable, Mrs. Wu was relieved: "Bo Fu, the person you like, my mother will also like it." ”

Sure enough, when Sun Ce heard this, his expression suddenly brightened, and he bowed deeply: "Mother walk slowly, be careful on the road!" ”

Mrs. Wu nodded in response and stepped into the carriage. Sun Shangxiang dared to make a face at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and followed his mother into the car.

The west wind is strong, but I am afraid that after this night, before dawn, the residual snow will melt, and the heaven and earth will be restored to a vast and clean place. And what they have planned and hoped for in their hearts, will they be able to get what they want, or will they disappear with the snow?
