The first rays of sunlight in the early morning pierced the sky, the sound of horns filled the sky, Sun Ce led a thousand soldiers to line up outside Shucheng, he was dressed in dragon scale gold armor, down across the big Wanju, holding twelve bladed silver spears, the instrument was lofty, majestic and majestic. Half a zhang behind him, Zhou Yu was dressed in a scarf, draped in a jade limb armor, and rode a high-headed white horse to accompany him.

On the arrow tower with heavy eaves, Lu Kang, who was over the age of old, was also fully armed, but there was no defender by his side, only Lu Xun, who was ten years old, was on the side. This old man and young man stood alone at the head of the city, which really made the people who saw it sad. But the two of them stood in the wind, and they didn't mean to be cowardly.

Sun Ce looked up at the city tower and shouted loudly: "Lu Taishou, don't come unharmed!" Thanks to your care a few days ago, I didn't have time to say thank you, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon! ”

Lu Kang laughed loudly: "Yes, I didn't expect that the guests who treated each other politely yesterday would say goodbye, and today they will bring 20,000 troops to surround my Shucheng, such a big gift, Lu really can't afford it!" ”

Lu Kang's words were to ridicule Sun Ce for repaying virtue with grievances, Sun Ce had already expected him to say so, and raised his hand to heaven and said: "I am the captain of Huaiyi in the imperial court, and I am sympathetic to Lu Taishou's old age, and I am here to take over the position of Lujiang Taishou." Sun has no intention of harming the Lu family, nor will he treat the people in the city harshly, please open the city gate quickly, so as not to meet each other in battle and harm the innocent! ”

Lu Kang sneered: "Heh! Succeed me as a keeper? Where are the symbols of the imperial court? Where is the instrument of appointment? If there is, Lu will immediately open the city gate to greet him, and there is no ambiguity! I'm afraid that your name is Han Chen, but you are actually a Han thief, and you have become a lackey of Yuan Shu's old thief! ”

Sun Ce used the name of the imperial court to take care of Lu Kang's face, who knew that he was ruthless, and his words were so ugly. In the array, Han Dang and Cheng Pu Huang Gai were both indignant, but Sun Ce was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said with a smile: "Lu Taishou, you keep saying that you are loyal to the Han family, but you don't protect the Han people, even if you want Shucheng to be miserable, you will not give up the position of Taishou, I am afraid that you are greedy for power, not for loyalty?" ”

When Lu Kang heard this, he laughed loudly. Lu Xun was young and vigorous, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he scolded with a slashing face: "Sun Bofu! Don't spew blood! The people of the city have their own opinions on how my grandfather was a man! Obviously, you coveted my Lujiang County and started a military disaster, but now you want to scold my grandfather for being greedy for power, which is really a strong word! ”

Sun Ce raised his hand and raised his whip, pointed at Lu Xun and said: "Little hairy boy, the world is so chaotic now, Lujiang County is in danger, just rely on you old and decrepit children, can you hold the city?" Even if it's not my Sun Bofu, there will be others to attack, you ......"

Before Sun Ce finished speaking, he heard Lu Xun shout: "I still admire your name as Sun Lang of Wu County, in the final analysis, but it is no different from a mountain bandit hooligan!" ”

Seeing that it would be useless to continue scolding like this, Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Shucheng is Zhou's ancestral hometown, Lu Taishou is Zhou's highly respected elder, and Bo Fu is my best friend since childhood." Yesterday's disturbance was due to my accidental attack, and I was not deliberately designed, and today's incident is also a last resort. Bo Fu was entrusted by others, if he returned empty-handed, he would definitely provoke General Yuan to send more troops to attack Lujiang, and at that time, what would be the fate of the Lu family and the safety of the people of Shucheng? Please think twice! After speaking, Zhou Yu took a deep breath and did not get up for a long time.

Seeing that Lu Kang was silent for a long time, Lu Xun couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Grandfather ......"

Lu Kang sighed and said with a smile: "Gongjin, you are a good boy, the old man understands." I think that back then, when your father served as the Luoyang Order, it was the old man who recommended him in front of the emperor. At that time, you were younger than Xun'er", Lu Kang's eyes were full of love, he stroked Lu Xun's little head, and then changed his words: "But you don't understand!" The old man is different from you after all! Even if the first emperor died, Lu would never dare to be ungrateful! The old decay is more than seventy years old, if I lose Lujiang County, for the traitor's gains, I will go to Huangquan in the future, what face will I see the emperor again! Come! Take my Han Festival! ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier trotted forward and presented the Han Festival. Lu Kang took it with both hands, raised it high, and shouted in a deep breath: "Sun Bofu! I, Lu, am in the city, and the city is broken! If you want to enter Shucheng, you will step on the old man's corpse! ”

Hearing Lu Kang's words, Sun Ce smiled angrily: "I said you old man...... If you want to use the Han system, I will follow your Han system; If you want to celebrate the Han Festival, I won't stop you, why do you want to live or die? ”

Seeing Lu Kang's hand trembling slightly, Lu Xun held his elbow and muttered, "Grandfather ......"

Zhou Yu understood that Lu Kang could not be persuaded, so he turned his horse's head and said to Sun Ce in a deep voice: "Bo Fu, let's go back......"

Sun Ce still didn't give up, and shouted loudly: "Could it be that if I am under the Yuan family's tent, I will definitely treat the people harshly? ”

Lu Kang handed over the Han Festival in his hand to Lu Xun, picked up the big bow at his feet, bent the bow and arrows with his old body, and the arrow fell straight under the feet of Da Wan Ju, which made Da Wan Ju raise his hooves and hiss, and couldn't stop screaming.

At the same time, hundreds of archers hidden behind the battlements appeared together, pulling their bows like a full moon, and their arrows were aimed at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu under the city.

"Alas!" Sun Ce sighed, had to turn his horse's head, and rode his horse towards the formation with Zhou Yu.

Lu Xun watched Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were far away, and asked Lu Kangdao: "Grandfather, I always feel that Sun Bofu is not as unbearable as Yuan Dog Thief, and Zhou Lang is also a dragon among people, do you really want to kill them?" What a pity! ”

Lu Kang didn't answer, just stared at the distant figures of the two of them, smiled bitterly, got up and walked into the arrow tower. The two archers immediately filled the gap and aimed their bows at the well-formed army on the plain outside the city.

The drums of war sounded again, like thunder, and a big battle was inevitable.

At dawn, Qiao Rui's 18,000 troops set off from Lu'an and drove towards Shucheng.

Big and small Joe also marched with the army. Seeing that Da Qiao lifted the curtain from time to time to watch, Xiao Qiao blinked and asked, "Is my sister so impatient because she is worried about the war on the front line?" ”

Da Qiao frowned: "Wan'er, I think about it, it's really thankless to fight Lujiang......"

"Not really! That Lu Taishou is quite famous in Jiangnan, and he is over seventy years old, even if he wins, the world will say that we are not victorious. Sun Bofu is really unlucky, Fang joined the army and encountered this kind of thing, no matter whether he advanced or retreated, what should he do. ”

Da Qiao lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time. As far as she is concerned, Sun Ce is fine as long as she is safe, but he has the revenge of killing his father and the ambition of the bird, he will fight with all his might, thinking of this, Da Qiao's throat was astringent, and he asked Xiao Qiao: "Wan'er, all those rattan helmets made last night were sent to General Han?" ”

Xiao Qiao rubbed Da Qiao's red fingers distressedly, but he couldn't help but joke: "Sister, don't worry, it's all handed over to General Han." And I specifically explained that the one my sister made up was for Sun Bofu. ”
