(First of all, I wish all readers a happy New Year's Day 2019!) I modified it on the last more Wancheng 2, which caused many readers who had paid for reading coins before to be unable to update, so I resent it here, don't be surprised if new readers see the duplication, pull down about a third, and you can see the content of a new chapter. But this will charge everyone a dime more, if you feel uncomfortable readers can go to Weibo to find me to get a postcard of Sun Ce or Zhou Yu)

In the old house of Qiao's family in Wancheng, Da Qiao was lying on the couch sickly, her pretty face was white and blue, and her thin little body was like glass, as if it would break when she touched it.

Xiao Qiao walked into the room with a celadon bowl, a pair of apricot eyes swollen like peaches, stood on the edge of the couch and choked up, "Sister...... I've cooked a new porridge, so why don't you eat it, even if it's not for yourself, but for the baby in your belly......"

Da Qiao slowly opened her eyes, gurgling tears fell like stars, she stroked her lower abdomen with her right hand, supported her thin body with her left hand, and whispered: "This child is really not the right time to come, I am so happy now, I can't eat anything at all......"

That day, she received a letter from relatives in Wancheng, saying that Qiao Rui's coffin had been sent back and was to be buried on a later date. In the final analysis, Sun Ce has an army of 30,000, dominates one side, and has a sensitive ear, so he must have already known it, why did he deceive himself? Is it really as the woman said, from the beginning of her commitment to him, she has fallen into a trap, and has been played with by him in applause for so many years?

But Sun Ce's affection and love are heavy, Da Qiao Ming feels it in his heart, and he doesn't feel that there is any artificiality, but before her father's funeral, she didn't have the heart to explore it anymore, so she took Xiao Qiao back to Wancheng to bury her father.

"Sister, I really don't blame you for my father's business. I know you've been blaming yourself these days, but things on the battlefield are changing so fast, who could have predicted that? If you blame your brother-in-law for this, and treat yourself harshly, father...... Peace of mind that won't go. ”

Xiao Qiao's words undoubtedly pierced Da Qiao's heartache, and her faint cry turned into a howl, and she said intermittently: "If it weren't for ...... I am on good terms with Sun Lang...... Yuan Shu would not worry about his father fleeing to Jiangdong with his troops...... I won't let him fight Cao Cao......"

The grief in Xiao Qiao's heart was no less than that of Da Qiao, but she tried her best to endure it, and persuaded with all her heart in a trembling voice: "Even if my sister complains to herself, she complains to her brother-in-law, and her father ...... Will it come back to life? If not, why would my sister kill herself like this. If...... If my sister had another good one, I wouldn't have any relatives in this world. ”

Seeing Xiao Qiao trembling all over his body and looking at him with tears in his eyes, Da Qiao became more and more sad, and hugged Xiao Qiao and cried: "I'm sorry, Wan'er, I insisted on coming back and burying my father, so you were trapped here with me......"

"Sister, don't say that, as daughters, we are not sprinkled and swept on the side, we are already unfilial, how can we let our father not be allowed to enter the ground? Even if my sister doesn't come, I'm definitely going to come, but I didn't expect that I would be placed under house arrest here, and I was just one step away from it. ”

Before returning to the funeral, Da Qiao had ordered someone to send a secret report to several squires in Wancheng who had befriended his father, in order to use the prestige of public opinion to put pressure on Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, who was now retreating to Wancheng. Liu Xun and Qiao Rui have been friends for many years, and they are under Yuan Shu's tent, and now they see him die tragically, and their two daughters are lonely, and they can't help but feel a little desolate when the rabbit dies and the fox dies. Coupled with the guarantee of many leading figures, Liu Xun did not want to embarrass Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and let them come and go. Who knew that just before their sisters left, Zhang Xun also fled back to Wancheng with the coffin of Yuan Shu, he didn't know what to say to Liu Xun, so he asked Liu Xun to change his mind, nominally letting them rest for a few days, but in fact putting their sisters under house arrest in the Qiao family's old house.

Impartially, Da Qiao actually has a body, it should have been more than a month, if you let someone know, it will definitely be detrimental to Sun Ce's child, Xiao Qiao is like a mirror in his heart, but he doesn't dare to say it, only to be in a hurry.

When the two sisters hugged each other and cried, there was a knock at the gate of the old house, Xiao Qiao walked out of the wing, instructed Da Qiao to lock it from the inside, and put a small pebble in his sleeve, only to open a crack in the door, only to see that the person who came was Changmu Xiu.

That day, Qiao Rui and Yu Ban confronted each other, Changmu Xiu was also in front of the battle, he had already communicated with Cao Cao and said that he would intercept Qiao Rui in battle, who knew that Cao Jun was menacing in the ban, and he was ruthless, and he wanted to take Qiao Rui's head. Changmu Xiu sensed that the situation was wrong, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly whistled with bamboo chips, and summoned those strange birds that were perched nearby, wanting to create chaos and save Qiao Rui. But before he took advantage of the chaos to rush into battle, he saw Qiao Rui being slashed by Yu Ban's horizontal knife and falling off the horse.

Changmu Xiu is old and cunning, but he is really sincere to Xiao Qiao, seeing that Qiao Rui had an accident, and he had no reason to leave Qiao Rui's body, he hurriedly rushed back to Gusu, in order to be by Xiao Qiao's side when she was sad. Who knew that Da Qiao was so fierce that he took Xiao Qiao back to Wancheng. Changmu Xiu was hindered by his identity, so he had to return to Zhang Xun's tent, and fled south with Zhang Xun's remnants all the way to the south, entering Wancheng, he was ashamed, and came to visit three times a day, but he was turned away. On that day, Xiao Qiao finally opened the door, Changmu Xiu obviously didn't expect it, he was happy and at a loss, and said, "Wan...... Wan'er, I'll bring you something. ”

Xiao Qiao walked out of the old mansion sideways, closed the door tightly, lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice: "A few days ago, when I was in Gusu, there was a woman who claimed to be your sister, saying that my father's letter that my father promised my sister to go to Jiangdong with General Sun was from your imitation pen...... I hope you can tell me from our childhood acquaintance whether you ghostwrote that letter. ”

Changmu Xiu's eyes gathered, and he replied in a deep voice: "Old things, why mention them? Wouldn't it be good for General Sun to treat Mrs. Qiao well? ”

"You just have to answer me, yes or no?"

"Wan'er, don't blame me, that letter...... It's definitely from my pen. ”

Xiao Qiao was skeptical, and asked, "Is it General Sun who ordered you to do this?" ”

"At that time, General Sun failed to get out of the control of the Yuan family, and he was afraid of missing out on the beauty, so he made this decision, thinking that he loved Mrs. Qiao too much."

Xiao Qiao didn't fully believe Changmu Xiu's words, but she still couldn't help but reddened her eyes, but she refused to cry in front of Changmu Xiu, and tried her best to restrain herself.

Changmu Xiu took out a silk handkerchief and stuffed it into Xiao Qiao's hand, sighed and persuaded: "Wan'er, I know you feel uncomfortable, but now is not the time to feel uncomfortable. Zhang Xun's old thief proposed to Liu Xun that he would take your sister as a hostage and blackmail Sun Bofu, and he would not let you go for a while. I will come to see you every day, and if there is anything missing, just tell me, and I will do my best to protect you. ”

Xiao Qiao had guessed that Liu Xun detained their sisters in order to make Sun Ce more constrained and not dare to attack Wancheng casually. Da Qiao still has a body at this time, the longer the time drags on, the greater the risk, Xiao Qiao raised his eyes and looked at Changmu Xiu, and his mind was spinning rapidly: What does she have to do to get out of here smoothly with Da Qiao?

That day, when Sun Ce heard Sun Quan's report, he was anxious, and urgently summoned Lu Fan, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Han Dang and other generals to enter the account and discuss the countermeasures to recruit Liu Xun.

After the death of Yuan Shu, Zhang Xun, Yang Hong and others successively invested under Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, plus Liu Xun's lower department, a total of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, which can compete with Sun Ce, so whether it is a veteran like Cheng Pu or a young and high-ranking general like Lu Fan, they are not optimistic about sending troops to attack Liu Xun at this time. After hearing this, Sun Ce became more and more irritable, and after dismissing everyone, he left Zhou Yu alone, he supported his head with both hands, and tried his best to restrain his emotions: "What they said is right, now is indeed not a good opportunity to crusade against Liu Xun, in contrast, Huang Zu in the west has a grudge against me for killing my father, and the defense is relatively weak." In terms of human affairs, it seems that I should go to fight Huang Zu first, and then try Liu Xun. But when Ying'er returned to Wancheng, she must have known about her father-in-law, if I don't hurry over, I am afraid that she will be instigated by the adulterer, and second, I am afraid that Liu Xun will find out my thoughts about her and take her hostage......"

"Do you still need to know Madame Joe's thoughts? You are already a hero who has achieved fame in China, but you have no wife and no concubine to the outside world, Liu Xun is the lower part of Yuan Shu, and you will hear the rumors more or less. Originally, Mrs. Qiao lived in Gusu's house, and no one dared to tell her about General Qiao, but she knew about it inexplicably, and took Wan'er back to Wancheng with her. If my expectations are correct, they should have been controlled by someone now, so we must not delay, we must capture Wancheng as soon as possible and rescue the two of them. ”

After Qiao Rui's death, Zhou Yu sent people to search for Changmu Xiu's whereabouts, but never found anything. Changmu Xiu coveted Xiao Qiao's thoughts, Zhou Yu knew very well, he never thought that Xiao Qiao would be interested in Changmu Xiu, but he didn't know how despicable Changmu Xiu could be.

is obviously a magnificent, open-minded, resourceful and decisive person, but when he encounters Xiao Qiao's incident, he is a little short of breath. Sun Ce was the same, worried about Da Qiao, he lost his chic and decisive decision on the battlefield at all, and asked urgently: "You say this, do you already have a plan?" ”

Zhou Yu came back to his senses and looked at Sun Ce fixedly: "According to what several generals said, go to fight Huang Zu, but it's not just about fighting Huang Zu." ”

Three or two days later, Liu Xun in Wancheng received a letter from Sun Ce, his rhetoric changed from his previous flamboyance and domineering, and he was so tactful and humble that it was frightening. Liu Xun felt very surprised, and summoned his ministers to the mansion to discuss.

After Yuan Shu died, Zhang Xun, Yang Hong and others were all cast under Liu Xun's account, Zhang Xun boasted of his outstanding merits, only Qiao Rui was comparable under Yuan Shu's account, and now he was under Liu Xun's account, and was forced to bow down to his ministers, not to mention how bad it was. Yang Hong didn't mind at all, and he was a "lord", calling him respectful and affectionate. Liu Xun modestly pushed back on his lips, but he was already happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but believe in Yang Hong a little more.

After everyone read Sun Ce's letter, they talked endlessly, Zhang Xun boasted of his old qualifications, and took the lead in speaking: "Sun Bofu has always been arrogant, and he was disrespectful to General Yuan before, how can he be willing to respect General Liu as a junior subordinate now?" I'm afraid that there will be fraud ......"

Before Zhang Xun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Hongshengsheng: "General Zhang's words are wrong!" That Sun Bofu has 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the lord also has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he is equal, why should he be an enemy of the lord, and he will not hurt his heart and lungs? Besides, if you look at what he said in his letter, he said that he would lead his troops to attack Huang Zu to avenge his father, and advised the lord to send troops to attack Haidu, what does this mean? obviously hoped that the lord would not interfere in his attack on Shaxian, so he was willing to give in to the land of the sea and not interfere with each other. If the lord didn't attack Haiduan at this time, he was afraid that Sun Bofu would turn the silver spear after cleaning up Huang Zu. If he takes down the sea dusk again and connects with Jiangdong, my Wancheng will be isolated and helpless, and there will be no more reliance, please think twice! ”

Located in the south of Wancheng, Haiyang was once the fief of Liu He, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and was very rich. Now that Yuan Shu is dead, Liu Xun no longer has any worries, and he is afraid that Sun Ce will seize the opportunity, Yang Hong's words are undoubtedly in the middle of it, Liu Xun waved his hand, and immediately announced that he would send troops to attack Haidu.

At this moment, Changmu Xiu stood up and arched his hand: "General Liu must not act rashly, otherwise he will definitely fall into Sun Bofu's trap!" ”

Liu Xun was stunned, looked fixedly, and saw a man in his twenties standing under the hall, standing like a jade tree facing the wind, wide and chic, but there was shrewd calculation everywhere between his eyebrows and eyes. Liu Xun knew that this person was Zhang Xun's nephew Zhang Xiu, who had been quite trusted by Yuan Shu before, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Yuan Shu believed in this person so much, but he ended up being an arrogance to the emperor, and his death was the laugh of the world.

Liu Xun thought so, but said: "I have long heard that General Zhang's nephew is suave, and when I saw it today, it was really good." Just now, you said that you don't want General Ben to act rashly, what do you mean? ”

Changmu Xiu arched his hand and replied: "Don't hide it from General Liu, I have been in Jiangdong and have been dealing with Sun Bofu for several years. This person seems to be a rough and a martial artist, but in fact he is thoughtful and very good at winning people's hearts, it is even more difficult to seize every inch of land from him, how can he be willing to give the land of sea dusk to General Liu? Now that 'Jiangzuo Zhou Lang' Zhou Gongjin is also blatantly thrown under Sun Bofu, the conspiracy and secret plan will inevitably be used by Sun Bofu, so I think that General Liu must not act rashly, so as not to fall into the schemes of traitors! ”

Changmu Xiu's words were like pouring cold water on Liu Xun, although he was a little annoyed, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious. Yang Hong saw Liu Xun's thoughts, and said again at the right time: "It is not difficult for the lord to distinguish whether Sun Bofu is sincere or false, just hold his troops and wait to see if he is going to fight Huang Zu?" Once Sun Bofu sent troops, we will go with the lord to conquer Haidu, and when Sun Bofu and that Huang Zu are killed, maybe the lord can send troops to Sha Xian, and the two of them will be dealt with together......"

Liu Xun thought so, nodded with satisfaction, and commanded loudly: "Okay, then according to Yang Qing's words, wait to see how Sun Bofu acts!" ”

Soon after Sun Ce sent a message to Liu Xun, he personally led an army of 30,000 to Shaxian, Liu Xun often sent spies to monitor, seeing that Sun Ce really led the army to the west and walked to Shicheng, he couldn't wait to personally lead his troops to bypass Peng Ze and send troops to attack Haidu.

Judging from the situation of Sun Ce and Liu Xun at this time, Sun Ce went to Shaxian to fight Huang Zu, which can be described as a favorable time and place, and he is famous, and Liu Xun will not doubt Sun Ce's original intention. And Zhou Yu's plan is to shake a shot, transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and then map Wancheng.

Knowing the whereabouts of their loved ones but not being able to act immediately, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have been living like years these days, but if they want to keep the second Qiao sisters safe, they must concentrate on suppressing it, and they must not let Liu Xun have the slightest suspicion. Seeing that Liu Xun finally took the bait, Sun Ce immediately ordered the division of troops into two routes, and ordered his cousin Sun Ben to lead 5,000 men and horses to garrison Peng Ze to intercept Liu Xun's army from returning, while he and Zhou Yu led more than 20,000 people to attack overnight and galloped outside Wancheng.

Liu Xun almost poured out of the nest in order to seize Haiduan before Sun Ce, and there were only three or two thousand soldiers left in the huge Wancheng, which was precarious under the power of Sun Ce's 20,000 iron cavalry. But Sun Ce did not blindly attack the city, but ordered people to camp at the foot of the mountain northwest of Wancheng, and he took Zhou Yu to climb the mountain.

The small town under the mountain is boxy, by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is extremely beautiful and elegant, and you can only see the white walls everywhere, and the willow embankment is verdant, no wonder it can give birth to the two peerless beauties of Erqiao. Zhou Yu's gaze did not stop at the scenery, but looked at the two paths in the city that were impressively condensed into the word "swastika", frowning and thinking.

Sun Ce sighed: "I have wanted to come to Ying'er's hometown countless times, but I didn't want it to be like this. I should have guessed that this game was set up by someone with a heart, from the death of General Qiao to Ying'er's instigation to leave, and then to the formation here, all of them were aimed at me. ”

In the past few days, Sun Ce has been sleepless at night, and he has lost a lot of weight, although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhou Yu knew that he was always worried about Da Qiao, and he couldn't eat or sleep. Why isn't Zhou Yu worried about Xiao Qiao? If it weren't for the fact that Er Qiao was in the city, they would have already broken through Wancheng, but now they have to scruple in many ways and use their wits and ingenuity in a short period of time.

In the past, I always felt that Xiao Qiao was still young and had a long life, but I didn't want to let her fall into the hands of others without paying attention. In the past few days, her tearful appearance and pretending to be happy often appeared in his mind, which made Zhou Yu's heart ache and anxiety, and he was often in a trance and couldn't concentrate on thinking. In the past, whether it was sending troops to help Sun Ce, or visiting the mystery cave and encountering a python, Zhou Yu could use his wits to resolve them one by one, but now it is about Xiao Qiao, but it is a matter of concern, which makes him lose ground, no matter what he does, he has a lot of concerns. Zhou Yu didn't even have to think about it, he knew that the poisonous snake-like Changmu Xiu must have taken the opportunity to enter Wancheng with Zhang Xun and surrounded Xiao Qiao.

Xiao Qiao is in Wancheng, which is not only Zhou Yu's constraint, but also Zhou Yu's motivation, and now seeing the "swastika" road in the city like a demonstration, he has a flash of inspiration in his mind, and a light smile is drawn on his peerless and handsome face: "If I can break the city within three days, can I implore the lord to protect the media for me, I want to marry Wan'er here." ”

Sun Ce obviously didn't expect Zhou Yu to say this, and after being stunned for a moment, he grabbed his shoulder: "You already have a way to break the enemy?" Come and hear it! ”

Unconsciously, the slanting vein, and the autumn day in the south of the Yangtze River, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have been trapped in Wancheng for more than two months, saying that they were left here to recuperate, but in fact they are like being in prison, completely blind and blind, and they don't know the dynamics outside at all, and they don't know where Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are.

Changmu Xiu often comes, and Xiao Qiao asks him for some supplements every time in a different way to nourish Da Qiao's body. Da Qiao's belly is getting bigger, and her body is a little clumsy, but the pain of losing her father and the incomprehension and resentment of Sun Ce's ghostwriting back then are still choking in her heart, which makes her liver and intestines broken, coupled with worrying about Xiao Qiao's safety, worrying about Qiong'er and Mrs. Wu and other emotions are stirred in her heart, Da Qiao is worried all day long, and her already thin body is now only a handful of bones. Xiao Qiao was anxious in his eyes, and he searched his stomach to think of ideas, hoping to find an opportunity to send Da Qiao back to Jiangdong.

On that day, Xiao Qiao squatted in front of the stove and kept adding firewood to the fire. Da Qiaoben was resting in the wing, smelling a strong smell of paste, and rushed to the kitchen, only to see that the porridge in the pot had been boiled into a pot, she hurriedly said: "Wan'er, don't be in a daze, quickly add some water!" ”

Xiao Qiao came back to his senses at this time, and clumsily poured the scoop into the pot, only to hear the sound of "squeak", smoke billowing out of the pot, Xiao Qiao covered his mouth with his sleeves, and pushed Da Qiao outward: "Sister, ...... Get out of here......"

Da Qiao did not leave, but straightened up, quickly cleaned up, after a while, the smoke finally dissipated, Da Qiao held his waist and asked, "Wan'er, why have you been so reluctant these days, aren't you...... Did that Nagaki Shu tell you something again? ”

Xiao Qiao lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes swept over Da Qiao's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and he smiled bitterly: "No...... It's nothing, he's chatting with me, and my sister doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

Seeing Xiao Qiao's reaction, Da Qiao's suspicion couldn't help but become heavier: "You stutter as soon as you lie...... Wan'er, what did Changmu Xiu tell you, do you want to kill me in a hurry? ”

Xiao Qiao bit his thin lip, tears rolled in his eyes, and the grievances in his heart could only rot in his stomach: "It's really nothing, sister, I'm just, I just miss Zhou Lang......"

Although Xiao Qiao's temperament is cheerful, whenever he mentions his feelings for Zhou Yu, he is infinitely shy, how can he admit that he misses Zhou Yu without confessing to himself? Da Qiao was sure that she had something to deceive, so she deliberately pretended to be sad, and sighed: "It's really a big girl, it's a pity that I won't go back to Jiangdong in the future, and when you marry General Zhou, we still have to separate sisters......

"Sister is not going back to Jiangdong?" Xiao Qiao's heart tightened, and he really fell for Da Qiao, "But I have already bought off the guards outside the door, and I will send my sister out of the city tonight, no matter how angry my sister is, I must always ask him in person!" ”

This girl really had a plan behind her back, Da Qiao stood on the stove, her tone was full of distress and self-blame: "Send me out of the city, what do you want?" Do you want to stay here as a hostage? ”

Xiao Qiao didn't dare to look at Da Qiao, his right hand was quietly inserted into the blue and white sleeve cage of his left hand, and he secretly turned the bowl flower bracelet: "Sister...... Sister doesn't have to worry about me, Changmu Xiu won't hurt me, and in a few days, Zhou Lang will definitely come to save me. ”

In these long and dark days, all she could see every day was the small sky above the old mansion, and all she could hear was the iron shoes and screams of the soldiers outside the door when they were arresting people everywhere, but Xiao Qiao always believed that Zhou Yu would come to save her. Da Qiao felt his sister's protection of him and his infatuation with Zhou Yu, and couldn't bear to count her down half a point: "Silly girl, do you think that if I count out Wancheng, I will be able to reach Jiangdong?" Don't say that I have a child in my womb, even if I am alone, I will be seen as a weight to blackmail Sun Lang...... What's more, although I am angry that he has something to hide, I don't fully believe the words of others, and even if I want to be suspicious, it is caused by the two of us arguing in person, not because others can instigate it...... Therefore, I also believe that Sun Lang will come to save me, and I will wait for him here, and I will not go anywhere. ”

Before Da Qiao's words fell, he heard a strange sound outside the window, the sound was very loud, the sky suddenly turned dark, and the day was like night. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao couldn't help but look out, only to see thousands of strange birds with long wings and feathers coming out of nowhere, circling and converging on the top of Wancheng, covering the city in all directions, and never flying into a gnat.
