Chapter 37: The Show of Heaven (1)
After defeating Huang Zu, Sun Cejun took advantage of the victory to go east and approached the sea dusk where Yuzhang was too guarded by Huaxin. There were only a few thousand defenders in Haidu, but there were tens of thousands of people under Sun Ce's army. Seeing this, Sun Ce ordered the army to be stationed in Jiaoqiu, and ordered Yu Xuan, who had an old relationship with Hua Xin, to go and persuade him to surrender. Hua Xin was originally a civil official, when he was young, he was greedy for wealth and power, and provoked Guan Zhong's descendant Guan Ning to cut off his righteousness with him, not a strong-willed person, after listening to the message from Yu, he immediately led everyone to open the city and surrender, so Sun Cebing did not fight and went down to the next county, and the six counties of Jiangdong were all pacified.
In order to be famous, Sun Ce presented a gift to the emperor of the Han Dynasty again, and said: "The ministers straddle the horse formation, and beat the drum with their hands to fight together." The officials were excited, and they were a hundred times more enthusiastic. The heart is full of fruit, and each competes for his life. Crossing the heavy trench, fast as flying. The fire flies to the wind, the soldiers smoke fiercely, the bows and crossbows are fired in unison, and the arrows are rained. It's thrilling." Since then, Jiangdong's millions of miles have been fully embraced by Sun Ce.
At this time, Cao Cao had just beheaded Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others under the White Gate of Xiapi City. Hearing that Sun Ce had monopolized the six counties of Jiangdong, Cao Cao leaned on the head of the city wall, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I was born in the same year as Sun Jiannai, but now I am not as meritorious as his son...... Qi'er, it is difficult and competitive. ”
It happened that Guo Jia came from afar, and when he saw Cao Cao frowning, he asked tentatively: "Isn't the lord worried about Sun Bofu's affairs?" ”
"I still know me with filial piety", Cao Cao smiled bitterly and patted Guo Jia's shoulder, "Now the tiger is in Jiangdong, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are veterans such as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, as well as young generals such as Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, as well as strategists such as Zhang Zhao and Yu Tuo, and the people of Jiangdong love him." He has six counties, the danger of the Yangtze River, and has been alone for more than 20 years, but now there is only a small place, and there is a strong enemy in the north Yuan Shao, who is eyeing him, and he is lonely! Although Lone welcomed the Han Emperor to Xudu, I am afraid that he will not follow in the footsteps of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan. ”
Guo Jia smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, it's really too much! No matter how brave Sun Bofu is, he is only mortal in the flesh, and he always likes to rush to the front to fight with the enemy in battle. Such a person, just like his father Sun Jian, although he can rely on his example to make soldiers serve him, it is difficult to ensure that he will not be injured by the sword. If an assassin hides in the middle of the battle and casts a hidden arrow, he will surely die, even if he has a million troops, what is the use? ”
Cao Cao was stunned, stared at Guo Jia with his chin in his head, and realized: "What does Fengxiao mean?" "Even if that Sun Bofu has a bronze body and iron arm, it is difficult to compete with the plan of a hundred people in our school's government? ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "With filial piety, why worry about not being able to accomplish a big thing?" ”
The news of Sun Ce's victory spread far and wide, and soon spread back to Wu County, which made Mrs. Wu and Da Qiao let go of their high hearts, and the joy of Sun Shao's birth in the new year made the whole family happy.
In the wing, Xiao Qiao looked at Sun Shao, who was smiling happily in the nurse's arms, and said to Da Qiao in a coquettish voice. "Sister, look, he opened his eyes and smiled."
Da Qiao Fang was out of confinement, his body was still a little weak, at this time he was wearing a moon-white silk robe, wearing a silver fox jacket, sitting by the small stove, looking at Xiao Qiao and Sun Shao with a smile, and the little face was smiling calmly.
Sun Shao is only full moon, but he looks much more energetic than the child next to him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, lively and active, very cute, and the nurse can't help but praise: "Mrs. is beautiful, and this child is so beautiful, and in more than ten years, I don't know how many girls will be sad." ”
Xiao Qiao pursed her lips and smiled, reaching out to hug Sun Shao, but the nurse refused to give: "Mrs. Xiao Qiao won't hold the child, so don't ask for it......"
Seeing Xiao Qiao's depressed face, Da Qiao couldn't help laughing: "Wan'er likes children, and if she has a child with General Zhou in the future, she will definitely be a good mother." ”
Xiao Qiao blushed his little face, but he didn't reply like usual, and his little face was full of melancholy. Da Qiao understood her thoughts, motioned for Xiao Qiao to step forward, took her soft and boneless little hand and said: "A few days ago, Sun Lang sent a letter, saying that although the front line is peaceful, there are still bandits, and General Zhou is only afraid that he will not be able to come to Wu County to pick you up, and in two days, my mother will select a competent person to send you and Aunt Zhou to Baqiu, so that you and your husband and wife will not be separated......
Da Qiao was relieved, but when he saw Xiao Qiao's red eyes and speechless, he was not surprised, and motioned to the nurse to hold Sun Shao and retreat, and asked again: "What's wrong with you?" Aren't you happy that you're going to find General Zhou? ”
Xiao Qiao leaned over and squatted down, leaned on Da Qiao's knee, and choked up: "I can't bear to ...... sister"
Da Qiao couldn't help but have a sour nose, she held back her tears, and pretended to be relaxed: "What a stupid girl, married someone, and reluctant to hold on to her sister?" Don't you miss General Zhou very much? You should be glad to see him soon. Besides, General Zhou will not stay in Baqiu for the rest of his life, and there is a time for each other, so he shouldn't cry like this. ”
Xiao Qiao's pointed little nose was red, and the crystal teardrops rolled down the smooth and white little face, which made people feel distressed: "What my sister said is, but I am not good, and I made my sister cry." ”
Before the words fell, a mother-in-law reported outside the door: "Madam, Aunt Zhou of General Zhou's family is here, saying that everything is almost collected, please Mrs. Xiao Qiao go over and have a look!" ”
After pacifying the sea dusk, Sun Ce stayed in Taishi Ci to guard the sea dusk, his cousin Sun Ben went to Luling, his cousin Sun Fu went to Nanchang, Zhou Yu was stationed in Baqiu, and he led his troops back to Gusu in Wu County.
On the ancient road of the setting sun, thousands of elite horsemen were ready to go, Sun Ce was carrying a silver gun, standing next to the tall Dawan horse, holding Zhou Yu's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Gongjin, the front line of Baqiu will leave it to you." We are newly broken, it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Biao will not have follow-up actions, you need to be more careful. If Liu Biaojun has any changes, he can send someone to send a message to me at any time. ”
The remnant sun is like blood, and a layer of dazzling gold is plated on the two young men, making him more and more dazzling, not like the mortal world. I only heard Zhou Yu reply: "Don't worry, the mouth of the Jiujiang River is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is Tai Shici stationed in Haidusk to echo from afar, even if Liu Biao dares to attack in a big way, he will not be able to pass my pass." I'll rush to the front line of Baqiu, and you can return to Wu County with peace of mind, and you will pay attention to your safety. ”
Sun Ce nodded, and sighed a few more times: "In the future, the two of us will be east and west, I'm afraid that we will get together less and leave more." If you want to come back to Jiangdong at any time, I will send someone else to take your place in Baqiu. ”
Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "In the past, they were often separated, but this time the lord is verbose?" I haven't forgotten to take Jingzhou for you, not to mention that it is also beneficial to Zhou, Hanzhong, and Guanzhong, but I am afraid that I will not be idle until my beard is gray. If you can't bear me, you might as well let us disarm and return to the field, find a place, and take our wives and children to farm, and we will live next to each other, and we will be visible every day, so that you don't have to worry about me. ”
Sun Ce couldn't stop laughing when he heard this: "It's hard to say that there is really such a day, when the time comes, I will take Ying'er, you take your sister-in-law, find a good place, away from the troubles of the world, we will give birth to ten or eight children from him, and when the children grow up, they will form a family...... Gongjin, maybe, we can really lay down a peaceful and prosperous world, maybe this war-torn idle field on the side of the road will be someone's fertile land in the future......"
According to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Zhou Yu should have said, "The original lord is smeared with liver and brain", but he blurted out: "It is precisely because of this that I, Zhou Gongjin, am willing to follow you for eternity......
Winter went to Yanlai, it was another year of Meng Chun, Sun Ce smiled at Zhou Yu and hugged his fist, turned over on his horse, and waved his hand to order the whole army to march quickly. The five thousand cavalry rushed eastward like thunder, and the figure with the red cloak gradually blended into a blood-colored sunset.
Zhou Yu did not order the lower troops to pull out, but stood on the high post with his hands in his hands, looking at the flow of people like the rolling Yangtze River eastward, and the scene of his first acquaintance with Sun Ce more than ten years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.
At that time, they were all young, and Zhou Yu heard that Sun Ce and his mother had come to Shucheng to avoid the war, so he went to intersect. I still remember that it was a hearty spring afternoon, Shucheng's eight streets and nine Mo were blooming pear blossoms everywhere, refreshing, Zhou Yu rode a horse around the alley, came to the courtyard where Sun Ce's mother and son stayed, knocked on the door to see, the person had not yet appeared, he first smiled heartily, and when he got closer, he was really a flying and uninhibited peerless young man: "Wujun Fuchun Sun Bofu, you are a month older, and you will be called brother in the future!" ”
