Chapter 31 (2)

Taking advantage of Cao's army to move south, Chen Yu united with Yan Baihu and other bandits to make waves in Jiangdong, intending to compete for Sun Ce's territory. But what made Sun Ce angry the most was not that this person was treacherous, but that he allowed the thieves to steal everywhere and loot the people's fat and ointment, so that the people who were only a little happy fell into dire straits again.

Sun Ce led his troops to sit in Qiantang, appointed LΓΌ Fan and others as generals, and in just a few days, he broke Chen Yu in Haixi, captured more than 4,000 soldiers under Chen Yu, and forced him to go all the way north to join Yuan Shao.

This matter is peaceful, Cao Cao broke the Yuan army, and the news of killing the Yuan general Qiao Rui spread across the river, Sun Ce was so shocked that he dropped the tea cup in his hand, and asked the scout: "Where did the news come from?" What about Gong Jin? Have you ever met? ”

The scout replied: "Now that Cao's army is attacking, Yangzhou and Lujiang County are in chaos, all the ear reports we arranged earlier have been disrupted, and the last general has not been able to get in touch with General Zhou. ”

Sun Ce pondered for a long time, his eyes dark as a cold pool: "Pass the order of Lonely, General Qiao's matter, before it is verified, you must block the news and not allow it to enter Gusu City." ”

The scout was stunned for a moment, and his face was full of embarrassment: "Lord, this person has long legs, the news is not long-legged......"

Sun Ce also knew that this matter was difficult to do, and he didn't want to make everyone in Gusu City look at the road, so he said: "Try your best, don't make people panic." ”

The scout gave up his command, got up and retreated. Sun Ce was full of distraction, supported his head with his hands, sat for a long time, took out a piece of paper, repaired a book, dried it by the candle flame, put it in an envelope and sealed it properly, and prepared to send it home overnight.

Although there is no real news, he always has a bad premonition in his heart, if the situation is not too chaotic, Zhou Yu will not be able to delay the news for a long time, and Cao Jun is pressing, as the commander-in-chief, it is impossible for him to break away from the battle. The only person who can turn to him now is his mother.

Cao Jun went all the way south, forcing the people along the line to flee in all directions, after all, Cao Cao had slaughtered the city in Xuzhou, and who knows how he would treat the people under Yuan Shu's jurisdiction this time? Men, women and children bring their families with their mouths, wolves run to the pigs, and Danyang and Wu County, which are only a river away from Shouchun, have become their first choice for fleeing.

In the past three or two days, a large number of displaced people have also poured into the city of Gusu, followed by looting and riots. Sun Ce's lower part was urgently suppressed, but he still couldn't place it. Many stores are closed, the market is sparsely populated, and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River has been in depression again.

In General Sun's mansion in the south of the city, Mrs. Wu received a letter from Sun Ce, asking them to pack up and move to Shanyin in Huiji County immediately. After the first Huiji, Sun Ce ordered someone to build a mansion there, and now he has been awarded the title of Huiji Taishou, and his mother, wife, daughter and younger siblings have been moved, which can be said to be justified.

The more unspeakable reason is that he is now sitting in Qiantang, less than 100 miles away from Shanyin, which is better than being nearly 400 miles away from Gusu. If something happens, he can also react immediately.

However, moving is not an easy task, and even if it is so intensive, it will take several days to pack up. On that day, Wu Jing came back from Lujiang, and Mrs. Wu had to go to the house to visit, and she had not returned for most of the day. The mother-in-law and the maidservants were a little lazy, sitting under the cloister and chatting.

Da Qiao carefully packed up Qiong'er's things, this little person was only a few years old, and he was already the pearl of the family, with a lot of playthings and ornaments, full of three or five large boxes. Da Qiao raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and saw that there was no empty box left in the room, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he could put down the jewelry and beads given by Sun Ce. At this moment, Xiao Qiao's shout sounded outside the window: "Sister, sister......"

Da Qiao opened the small window, only to see Xiao Qiao standing under the eaves of the porch, smiling smartly: "Sister, there is still a small box there?" I've got some treasures out of place, and I'm worried. ”

"I was also at a loss, so I packed up Qiong'er's things, and I originally wanted to ask my uncle to buy me a few wooden boxes, but he went out early in the morning......"

Xiao Qiao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said to Da Qiao: "Why ask for someone for this little thing? Why don't we go to the East Market and buy two together? ”

Before Sun Ce set out on the expedition, he instructed Da Qiao that Taiping Daoist people would bring disaster to Jiangdong and let her not go out if she had nothing to do. In this way, she has been trapped in the house for more than a month, and she is really bored. Da Qiao thought that if he didn't clean up and stop, he was afraid that the date of moving to San'in would be delayed, so he happily agreed: "Okay, let's go and go back quickly, don't let the family worry." ”

About half an hour later, Xiao Qiao changed into men's clothes and drove Da Qiao all the way to Dongshi to buy boxes. The two sisters talked and laughed all the way, but they didn't notice anything unusual, until they entered the East Market and saw that many familiar shops had closed, and they were very surprised.

Fortunately, the carpenter shop that sold the boxes was still in business, and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao got out of the carriage, made a selection, paid the money smoothly, and told the other party to send it to General Sun's mansion before dark.

At this moment, Da Qiao suddenly smelled a peculiar fragrance, dΓ©jΓ  vu, she turned around slightly, and saw a beautiful woman standing not far away, staring at her and chuckling: "Da Qiao girl is worthy of her name, I haven't seen her for a few years, and she is still as beautiful as before." ”

Da Qiao remembered what Sun Ce had said to him in the past, and immediately guessed that this woman was the proprietress of Wangchun Tower, Cao Cao's school affairs Ji Qing, she smiled, grabbed Xiao Qiao, who was still looking around, and said unhurriedly: "Thank you, Mrs., for your praise, farewell." ”

Ji Qing seemed to think that Da Qiao would be like this, so he said in a foolish way: "How can Da Qiao girl still have leisure and leisure, shopping here?" Shouldn't I go to Shouchun......"

Xiao Qiao didn't know who this person was, but she felt that she was a little annoying, and left a sentence: "Where are we and what do we have to do with you?" Then he pulled Da Qiao and wanted to leave.

Ji Qing smiled even more: "Miss Xiao Qiao is really interested, her father died on the battlefield, and she doesn't feel sad at all, and she is still playing prestige here?" ”

Xiao Qiao's face turned pale, and he immediately flew his wide sleeves and threw out a stone: "If you talk nonsense again, I'm going to tear your mouth." ”

Da Qiao knew that Ji Qing was powerful, and he didn't want Xiao Qiao to conflict with him, so he hurriedly stopped her: "Wan'er......"

Ji Qing dodged the flying stone lightly, and his laughter became more and more rampant: "Don't you two sisters know how to dare to love?" The whole Gusu City has been spread, General Qiao was pecked to death by strange birds on the front line, and rumors are everywhere, you don't even know? ”

Ji Qing said that he had a nose and eyes, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but panic and looked at Da Qiao, but when he saw that Da Qiao's face was as gray as ashes, his mouth was still neither humble nor arrogant: "The rumors have never stopped, and I only believe in Sun Lang alone, and Mrs. Lao doesn't bother." Wan'er, let's go. ”

"Miss Da Qiao, is General Sun really so credible? You have to know that when you came to Jiangdong with him, the reply letter that your father promised was still written by my brother himself, otherwise why did your father's letter only be sent to Wancheng for so many years, that is, he really thought that your sisters were in Wancheng, but he didn't want to be ashamed to be here and make a concubine! ”
