It was the New Year's Day, the clouds were dark and the wind was high, and the stars and moon were nowhere to be seen. Sun Ce's 200 people who dared to die were dressed in black, taking advantage of the cover of the night, and came to Shucheng with their waists.

At the same time, Sun Ce, together with Huang Gai, led a thousand cavalry to ambush in the mountains and forests outside the city, and only waited for the beacon fire at the head of the city to be killed.

On the tower of the city, the defenders were waiting for the battle, but the city was dark, which greatly increased the difficulty of defending the city. Sun Ce's soldiers quietly took out the hook and rope they carried with them and tied them around their waists, and when everyone was ready, they waved their hands for the leading general, and everyone threw the hooks and ropes towards the city together.

In an instant, more than 100 hooks and ropes firmly hooked the city wall, and the soldiers immediately stepped on the city wall, supported by ropes, and climbed up towards the city.

This plan is Huang Gai's offering, he was born in Jingzhou Lingling, there are many local mountain thieves to climb the city wall into the city to rob, the name is "ascending immortal Suo", Huang Gai out of curiosity also studied this method. Sun Ce ordered Huang Gai to select 200 people in the army who were light and easy to climb, and personally taught "Ascension Immortal Suo". After everyone grasped it, they aimed at the night of this New Moon and wanted to carry out a sneak attack on Shucheng.

"Uncle Huang, is this rope going to work?" Sun Ce tried his best to suppress his anxious mood and looked at Shucheng under the light of the fire.

Without waiting for Huang Gai to reply, the few fires in the city suddenly gathered, and it was obvious that the defenders had discovered the soldiers who were attacking at night. Sun Ce's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and Huang Gai let out a "oops", which seemed to indicate that something was wrong.

Lu Kang's defenders did not hesitate, and carried out dozens of bags of liquid stones, throwing them down at the soldiers who were climbing. A gust of wind carried the overwhelming white powder, and the besieging soldiers were covered with batter, and before they could react, they began to slip their hands and feet, and one by one fell back to the foot of the city walls.

Lu Kang and Lu Xun appeared at the head of the city, and the archers stepped forward in line, and the arrows were aimed at the besieging army under the city. Seeing that the sneak attack could not be achieved, the 200 black-clothed soldiers had to abandon the hook and quickly flee back to their positions.

"Grandfather, why didn't you give the order to release the arrows?" Lu Xun was puzzled.

"Sun Bofu was ordered to besiege the city but never killed innocent people, so why did his grandfather shoot soldiers who had lost their will to fight? Let's go, Xun'er, you can sleep well tonight", Lu Kang smiled softly and walked down the arrow tower with Lu Xun.

In Sun Ce's camp, the 200 soldiers who fled back to the camp held hair dusters and beat each other on the white ashes on their bodies, and for a time the clouds of smoke filled the sky. Zhou Yu and Han Dang rushed out of the tent when they heard the sound, and when they saw this scene, Han Dang was quite surprised: "Why did you go out in the dark and come back in white?" Could it be that you smashed the noodle shop? ”

Hearing Han Dang's words, Huang Gai was ashamed. Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid I've been sprinkled with liquid stones, right?" ”

Sun Ce crossed his waist and said angrily: "This Lu Kang is really an old fox!" ”

Zhou Yu stepped forward and patted Sun Ce's shoulder, and said lightly: "Lu Taishou has fought countless times with the Shanyue thieves in order to govern the Lujiang River, and it is reasonable to know that the standing liquid stone is available. Hungry for a sneak attack in the middle of the night, right? I made a bowl of soup cakes, and I will eat them in my tent. ”

Guessing that Zhou Yu had something to say, Sun Ce agreed and followed him into the camp. The tent was full of a faint fragrance, Sun Ce took the soup cake handed by Zhou Yu, and couldn't help but admire: "Huh! You've got me a supper, I'll just say it casually. ”

Zhou Yu sat opposite Sun Ce and said in a low voice: "Bo Fu, although Shucheng is small, it is impregnable, and it can't be captured in a moment...... As the commander of Juchao County, I have been staying in your army and I don't look good...... You eat slowly, don't choke. ”

Sun Ce coughed and asked, "What do you mean?" Are you leaving? ”

"I'm going to go back to the nest. In addition, I have some eyebrows about the attack on your father back then, and I want to find out for myself. ”

Sun Ce's expression changed suddenly, put down the porcelain bowl, and asked solemnly, "Isn't it Huang Zu's people who set up an ambush?" ”

"It must be inseparable from Huang Zu, but there are a lot of suspicions in it, if you rashly kill Huang Zu and let the real murderer get away with it, wouldn't you be confused?"

"Huang Zu will die, if there is an accomplice, don't even think about escaping!" Thinking of the revenge of killing his father, Sun Ce's expression was calm, which was very different from the usual laughing appearance.

"In addition, I have to go to Luyang tomorrow, and I have to ask Miss Xiao Qiao in person about some things. I don't have an rank in the army, but I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to come with me. ”

Sun Ce pondered for a moment and responded: "It's okay, General Qiao told me two days ago that if you want to besiege the city, you don't have to fight every day, just calm down and wait for the grain and grass in the city to dry up......."

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce was sullen and unhappy, and quipped: "No, why do you want to see Miss Da Qiao, but you are so unhappy?" You guys...... Quarreled? ”

"Seeing her little face, staring into her eyes, I can't even say a word heavy, where can I quarrel with her? It's just that I bragged to her today, saying that I could take Shucheng tonight, and now I feel a little embarrassed. ”

Zhou Yu smiled at the desk: "I didn't expect that your Sun Bofu would have today!" But don't underestimate Miss Da Qiao, she was born in Jiangmen, and naturally understands that fighting requires the right time, place and people, where will she laugh at you because of these things? ”

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce rode their horses to Luyang. This area was all taken over by Yuan Jun, and the two of them went all the way unimpeded, but in just over an hour, they arrived at Luyang.

Da Qiao was cooking by the stove, and when she saw Sun Ce, she was both surprised and delighted, and ran forward: "Why are you here?" ”

Sun Ce saw that Da Qiao was dressed in cloth clothes, his long hair was lightly pulled, and he had a sweet taste, and he was full of pity: "Ying'er is cooking? I'll help you. ”

Da Qiao smiled and pushed Sun Ce to the tent: "Gentleman Yuanyu, where can you do this?" You and Zhou Gongzi go into the tent and rest, and wait for me to add a few more dishes to you." ”

Inside the tent, Xiao Qiao was lying on the couch fiddling with Go. Da Qiao led Sun Ce and Zhou Yu into the tent, and beckoned Xiao Qiao and said, "Wan'er, Zhou Gongzi and Sun Lang are here, you can make some good tea." ”

Seeing that Da Qiao was busy with Xiao Qiao playing, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little unhappy: "You girl is so lazy!" Why don't you help your sister cook! ”

Xiao Qiao didn't comb his hair today, his hair was draped over his thin shoulders, and he was full of the laziness of his little daughter's family. Who knew that Zhou Yu was here, she didn't have time to say hello, propped herself up, and ran out of the camp.

Sun Ce couldn't help but be angry and funny: "Crazy...... Gong Jin, let's sit down. ”

Zhou Yu stepped forward and saw a chessboard on the couch, the black and white twins, you attack and defend, and the killing is very fierce.

A moment later, when Xiao Qiao turned around and returned to the tent, she had changed her clothes, her sideburns were neatly combed, and she stepped forward with a teapot to make tea for Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. Zhou Yu pointed to the chessboard and asked, "You also like to play chess?" ”

Xiao Qiao replied softly: "I like it, it's just that my sister doesn't love it, so I can only play by myself." ”

Da Qiao walked into the account with the delicacies in his hand and put it on the table: "The meal is ready, let's use it first, what do you have to say later?" ”

Xiao Qiao obediently helped Da Qiao set the dishes and chopsticks, and when he arrived at Sun Ce, seeing that he was smiling very jokingly, Xiao Qiao put the bowl in front of his eyes, snorted coldly, and sat down.

"You came in a hurry, I didn't prepare well, coarse tea and light rice, try it."

Zhou Yu took a sip and immediately praised: "Miss Da Qiao is a good craft, and the taste is really wonderful." ”

"Go and go", Sun Ce frowned and quipped, "Ying'er doesn't need you to praise, just eat your food." ”

"Miss Da Qiao, I won't tell you, Zhou knows many young talents, and they have all heard the name of the girl for a long time and want to get acquainted with you", Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce eating it, and deliberately made it trick, choking Sun Ce coughing and wheezing.

Da Qiao Waner said: "Xie Zhou Gongzi's good intentions, I don't need to, if there is a suitable one, you might as well introduce it to us Wan'er to get to know each other." ”

As soon as Zhou Yu raised his eyes, his gaze was opposite to Xiao Qiao, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward. Xiao Qiao hurriedly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "I don't want it." ”

Sun Ce only cared about eating vegetables, his mouth was full of fragrance, and he didn't notice the emotions of others at all: "By the way, Gongjin, don't you have something to ask this girl?" ”

Zhou Yu took out a sheepskin map from his arms and spread it out on the desk, only to see that there were two red marks on it, both of which were mountains.

"According to what the girl said before, Zhou has screened out these two places, both of which are half a day away from Anhui City, Miss Xiao Qiao take a look, along the way, can you have a little impression?"

Xiao Qiao took the map, looked at it for a long time, and hesitated: "I can't remember, maybe I can still have some impressions when I go to see it on the spot." ”

"The siege has not been attacked for the past few days, I plan to ride my horse to see, and if I find anything, I will come back and ask the girl."

Hearing that Zhou Yu was going to visit the place where she was abducted when she was a child, Xiao Qiao blurted out: "I'll go too!" ”

"You fart", Sun Ce refused directly, "Gong Jin wants to go back to the nest and visit by the way, you love to attract birds so much, and you will hurt Gong Jin again." ”

Xiao Qiao was angry, flicked his wide sleeves, and the flying stone went straight towards Sun Ce. Sun Ce dodged, turned his head to Zhou Yu and said, "Gong Jin, don't you want to take this girl with you?" Fierce and lazy, not a drag? ”

Seeing that Xiao Qiao was displeased, Da Qiao said softly and comfortingly: "Wan'er, you are a girl who has not left the cabinet, it is really inconvenient to follow Zhou Gongzi." This place is not far from the nest, and the message is also very fast. ”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said to Xiao Qiao: "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Da Qiao vetoed: "No, I know that Zhou Gongzi is a righteous gentleman, but my sister is not married yet, if this matter spreads......"

"Oh sister", Xiao Qiao shook Da Qiao's arm and said coquettishly, "If we don't say it, who will know?" Besides, you also know that Zhou Gongjin is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he won't do anything to me. ”

Sun Ce snorted coldly: "How does Gong Jin treat you? ...... the beauty you want."

This time, Xiao Qiao no longer used stone arrows, and got up and beat Sun Ce. Da Qiao hurriedly pulled to the side, but he couldn't use his strength to laugh.

Zhou Yu raised his voice, but his tone was still gentle: "Okay, everyone listen to me!" Miss Da Qiao, Zhou took Ling Mei out, not with bad intentions. This matter is not only related to the safety of Ling Mei, but also related to the assassination of Bo Fu's father, Zhou is really worried that the night will be long and dreamy, and there will be accidents, after all, the enemy is dark and I am ......"

Da Qiao hesitated for a while, and saw that Xiao Qiao's eyes were red, and he was pitiful, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Wan'er wants to go, but I can't help it." It's just that we have to hide this from our father, otherwise we sisters will all be punished......"

Xiao Qiao smiled at this time, wrapped his arms around Da Qiao's shoulders, and rubbed them around affectionately.

Outside the tent, there was a sudden frenzied sound of horses' hooves, and I heard someone shouting outside: "Where is the young general!" Where is the Major General! ”

Sun Ce was startled, opened the curtain and strode out, only to see Jiang Qin sweating profusely, running off the horse with a rolling belt, and said to Sun Ce: "Young General, it's not good!" General Cheng went to attack the city with hundreds of people early in the morning, and was fighting with the defending army! ”
