Chapter 44: Wandering East and West (1)
Sun Ce's military order came down, and Xiao Qiao was not allowed to leave the barracks for half a step, which was actually no different from house arrest. Xiao Qiao didn't know about Qiao Rui's injury, so he read books and played chess every day, and was happy. Da Qiao became more and more anxious, although Sun Ce felt sorry for her, and ordered someone to inform her every day of the situation of Qiao Rui's department, Da Qiao still couldn't help but think about tea and dinner, and became more and more haggard.
But Sun Ce came to look for him several times, but Da Qiao was all closed, and all the troubles in the army made Sun Ce have to suppress the matter for the time being. Recently, the grain and grass for the winter in Juchao and Dongxiang counties have been prepared, so Zhou Yu rushed back to his old house and transported all the surplus grain and grass raised to the army.
The beginning of winter was approaching, and I thought that the besieging Sun Cebu would not be able to survive, but who knew that they had added food and clothing, reinvigorated their strength, and stimulated their fighting spirit. This offensive and defensive momentum is already gone, and once Sun Ce's troops are high-spirited, the defenders of the city will be in decline. Sun Ce summoned several generals into the Chinese army tent in due time, and generously said to everyone: "Rank general, before Sun Mou closed his door and did not fight, many people privately discussed, saying that my Sun Bofu has his appearance, and he is too far worse than my father, and he is not worthy of leading troops at all. After that, the army ran out of food, and there was a rumor in the army that I would die here. I have never explained these rumors...... The generals studied the art of war, and they all knew that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qi State was strong and the Lu State was weak, but Lu Zhuang Gong defeated the Qi army with a single drum of strength and defended a mountain and river. It is as strong as Qi Huan Gong Shang and cannot go against the time and place, and we should follow this way even more when we use soldiers. In recent months, the generals have worked hard, and although we have not attacked the city on a large scale, we have never neglected to practice, and the people outside the city are not as hostile to us as before. On the other hand, in the city, although there is a lot of grain and grass, it cannot withstand consumption, and the soldiers defending the city have shown a sense of exhaustion. Therefore, the fighter plane has appeared, and we must not miss it! From today onwards, I hope to be in good standby, ready at any time, and this general will go into battle to kill the enemy! ”
The generals have been waiting for months, and at this time, they are impassioned, and they praise again and again, and they can't wait to rush to the head of Shucheng City immediately.
After mobilizing before the war, everyone dispersed and went to their own work. Sun Ce grabbed Zhou Yu and chuckled: "It's really hard for you to come back and forth to plan for me, but I won't thank you for this relationship." ”
Ben doesn't have to say thank you...... When are you going to attack the city? ”
Sun Ce raised his hand and knocked on Zhou Yu's heart, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Don't pretend to be garlic, I don't believe you will be able to see my siege period." ”
"It's not that I'm not sure, I'm just afraid that you'll be affected by other things. Yesterday, my aunt called me into the account to chat, and asked me to persuade you more, your face is really ugly these days, but you have to pay attention to your body, don't be tired. ”
"My face is ugly? How is it possible, how handsome", Sun Ce understood what Zhou Yu meant, but deliberately misinterpreted, "Have you been to see them these days......"
"I went there yesterday, and I asked a few words while Miss Qiao was making tea. Miss Da Qiao's face was very bad, and she became more and more delicate. I said, why are you two still like this, what your aunt said before, you should all turn a deaf ear? ”
Sun Ce smiled helplessly: "I feel sorry for her, she feels sorry for her father." You also know that Li Feng has been recalled to Shouchun, this person seems to be too dangerous, but I can't eradicate it for a while. If Ying'er goes back, won't she be a sheep in the tiger's mouth? ”
"Having said that, why can't you talk to Miss Da Qiao well, so that she will misunderstand you?"
"Gong Jin, you don't know Ying'er. No matter how much I talked to her, it was better for her to look at General Qiao herself. Besides, her heart must be full of the foolish idea that she can alleviate General Qiao's pain by enduring more suffering. Since I know that she is deliberately suffering herself, I will bear it with her, and there is no need to say anything else...... If you really want to help me, talk to my sister-in-law more for me, and let her persuade Ying'er to eat well and rest well. ”
Seventy or eighty steps out of the camp, there was a shallow stream. The weather was cold and frozen, but Da Qiao was still wearing clothes by the water, the washed clothes were stacked like a hill, but his slender hands were already red from the cold. Three or five feet away, more than a dozen soldiers were ordered to protect Da Qiao here, but they had a lot of pity for her in their hearts. In the past few days, Da Qiao has been tired and haggard, and everyone doesn't know the previous situation, only thinking that she will be so sad when she quarrels with Sun Ce.
If this is the case, Sun Ce really doesn't know how to pity the jade. Just as the soldiers were quietly discussing, Sun Ce, who was dressed in regular clothes, came to the battalion, and the soldiers hurriedly bowed their hands, but saw Sun Ce make a silent gesture and waved his hand to signal them to retreat.
Da Qiao was worried about her father in her heart, and she didn't notice that more than ten soldiers behind her had quietly left, she turned her head and wanted to take the soap horn, but she had a bright and handsome face on Sun Ce. Sun Ce handed over the soap corner, raised his eyebrows and smiled handsomely: "Ying'er, are you looking for this?" ”
Da Qiao glanced at Sun Ce, didn't pay attention to him, didn't take the soap corner in his hand, and continued to bury his head in laundry. Sun Ce's hand holding the soap corner stiffened for a long time before he put it down uncomfortably: "Ying'er, it's been a few days, are you still angry with me?" ”
Da Qiao still ignored him, and tapped the clothes in his hands with a pestle. Where could Sun Ce stand Da Qiao's cold treatment, he hurriedly grabbed Da Qiao's little hand and didn't allow her to avoid it anymore: "Ying'er, if you blame me, just beat me and scold me, how can you ignore me?" A few days ago, I went to look for you outside your tent, but my sister-in-law drove me away. I'm really dumb and can't scold her, so you feel sorry for me, say a few words to me. ”
Big Joe lowered his eyes and pulled his hand out, wanting to continue the laundry. Sun Ce took advantage of the situation and grabbed the clothes and pestle and refused to let go. Da Qiao was already angry that Sun Ce was unreasonable, and at this time, he couldn't help but be even more annoyed, and used all his strength to snatch it from him.
Sun Ce had a plan, suddenly let go, and then went to grab Da Qiao's waist, but he didn't stand firm, and the two staggered into the cold stream.
Sun Ce couldn't help but be embarrassed, and immediately after stabilizing his balance, he went to pull Da Qiao: "Ying'er, Ying'er, are you okay......?"
The autumn water was as cold as ice, Da Qiao was stiff, and he had no choice but to rely on Sun Ce. This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, Sun Ce smiled softly, and immediately leaned towards the shore around Da Qiao.
After going ashore, Da Qiao sat by the water, but saw that Sun Ce had recovered his spirits, and took off his coat and twisted the water. Without waiting for Da Qiao to catch her breath, Sun Ce stepped forward and picked her up and hurried towards the barracks.
Da Qiao was frightened and asked, "What are you doing here?" Put me down! ”
Sun Ce didn't seem to understand what Da Qiao said, and his eyebrows fluttered: "You are finally willing to talk to me?" ”
The two returned to the camp gate, and when the soldiers saw Sun Ce and Da Qiao, they all turned their heads and turned around, not daring to look directly, Da Qiao became more and more annoyed, and said in a trembling voice: "As the commander of an army, how can you be so shameless......
Unexpectedly, Sun Ce didn't mind, and just ordered the front guard: "Go and prepare hot water for me!" ”
