On the shore of Chaohu Lake, more than 100 ships docked, and Zhou Yu sat on the shore with the soldiers in robes, cooking water and cooking.

The reeds are 30,000 hectares in the sky, the smoke is curling, the soldiers are drinking gruel and chatting around the fireplace, Zhou Yu sits alone on the bluestone on the shore, takes out a tube of bamboo grate, and blows the local folk songs of the Lujiang River in a quiet throat.

Everyone listened intoxicated, gradually stopped talking and laughing, and listened to the sound of the bamboo pipe in silence, and the sound of the flute also changed from soothing to generous, high and excited, and tempered people's hearts.

Which man has no ambition, listening to this flute, everyone sharpened their knives, and they couldn't wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy bloodily.

Early tomorrow morning, 100 fishing boats will break through Chaohu Lake, merge into the Yangtze River, go all the way east, and join Sun Ceping's team in Jiangdong. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's eyebrows and eyes were excited, from childhood to adulthood, he was a handsome Confucian in the eyes of others, reliable, but no one knew, he also had a bit of unruliness in his heart.

At the end of the song, Zhou Yu stood up, looked at the vast lake, and suddenly felt a lot of pride in his heart, success or failure, life or death, all fought here.

In the middle of the night, Da Qiao was already asleep, Sun Ce put on his clothes, walked out of the barracks, and came to Lu Meng's tent, and saw that his tent was brightly lit. Sun Ce stopped the soldiers who wanted to report, lifted the curtain and entered, only to see Lu Meng throwing pots and playing in the house, but three or five of the ten were in difficulty.

Sun Ce's face was full of disdain, and he reprimanded: "How can I have such a stupid general under my account, don't vote for it, it's not a joke." ”

As soon as Lu Meng turned around and saw Sun Ce, he was very surprised: "Why is the young general here, it won't be ...... Did the young lady kick you out? ”

"Fart, I'm here to tell you, go find me a fortune teller."

"Fortune teller?" The second monk Lu Mengru was puzzled, "What does the young general want to be?" ”

Just after hearing Da Qiao relay Xiao Qiao's Huashan experience, Sun Ce couldn't sleep, instead of sitting in place and guessing, why not find a feng shui gentleman to ask Huashan leyline, or speculate what kind of person will build a cave there. But these strange forces and chaos are easy to shake the hearts of the army, Sun Ce didn't want to tell the truth, but said: "If you want to go to you, why do you ask so much!" ”

Lu Meng didn't know what was turning in his mind, and he laughed extremely chicken thief: "Okay, don't worry, young general, I'll go find someone tomorrow!" ”

Although he crossed the river and married Da Qiao, Sun Ce's worries were not less. Now, except for the more remote Jing County, Yi County, and She County in the south, Sun Ce has pocketed the entire Danyang County, plus the troops of Wu Jing and Sun Ben and Liu Xuan's troops who surrendered, there are more than 10,000 people under his command.

At first, when the people heard that Sun Ce was coming, they were so frightened that they closed their doors and did not dare to go out. But when it was discovered that wherever Sun Cejun went, he did not commit any crimes, and announced that those who were willing to join the army would be exempted from taxes and forced labor for the whole family, and those who were unwilling to join the army would not be reluctant, the people were happy. You must know that since Sun Jian's death, the people of Jiangdong do not know how much turmoil they have experienced, coupled with the rampant mountains and plundering, the officials do not do it, and they also expropriate and expropriate, making the villagers everywhere miserable.

It's just that there are more soldiers, and there is more food and grass, so it is a little troublesome to manage. What's more, governing people is not better than managing things, and it is always necessary to make the soldiers who surrender to sincerity happy and convinced, so that the army's morale can be stable and invincible. There are many things piled up, which makes Sun Ce feel that he is lacking in skills.

Although there are many talents under the account, you can look at it, from Cheng Huang Zhu Han to Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, all of them are military generals, except for one Lu Fan, there is no civilian official who can be posted, and although Lu Fan is a county official, it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of the auxiliary army to govern the county. It's good to wait for Zhou Yu to come in a few days, but Zhou Yu's mental scheming is mostly in the art of war, if he wants him to be a civilian, it is not what he is good at, so he can only go and see, and then ask for a good man.

It was noon, Sun Ce was having lunch with Da Qiao, Da Qiao was virtuous and gentle, and the cooked food was also comfortable and delicious, Sun Ce looked at Da Qiao's stunning appearance, and his mood was much soothed.

Just when the two of them were in love, you and me, Lu Meng suddenly shouted loudly outside the tent: "Young General, Mr. Feng Shui has been found!" ”

Da Qiao looked at Sun Ce blankly, as if asking him why he was looking for Mr. Feng Shui, Sun Ce tugged at her little face and said lightly: "I'll come when I go, you don't have to worry." ”

After speaking, Sun Ce lifted the curtain and walked out, beckoning Lu Meng to the side: "I only ordered it last night, and you found it today?" ”

Lu Meng looked excited: "Early this morning, I went to the recruitment office with General Han Dang, and I happened to meet a person who said that he knew astronomy and geography, and there was nothing he didn't know about everything in the world. This should be the 'fortune teller' that the major general said, right? ”

This god stick can really brag, and I don't know if he really has the ability or is cheated, but the world is difficult, where can he still seek full blame, Sun Ce raised his forehead and said helplessly: "I'll go to the account, you can bring him over." ”

A moment later, a man in his forties, wearing a military leader's hat and a dark Confucian robe, slowly walked into the tent and said to Sun Ce: "I heard that the young general wants to count the heirs, according to the next opinion, the young general is young and strong, this is ......."

Sun Ce blushed, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No, sir, don't listen to what my subordinates say, I want to count feng shui, not heirs." ”

The man smiled, took out a bowl from his personal baggage, picked up the teapot on the table and poured water, shook it slightly, dipped his fingers in the tea, and wrote the word "mountain" on the carved wooden case.

Sun Ce's heart was shocked, but his face remained silent: "It seems that Mr. already knows what I want in my heart." Don't hide it, sir, my dear friend traveled to Huashan that day, and saw that there was a high platform in the cave on the top of the mountain, and there was a big tripod on the high platform, and there was a big snake guarding it. Looking at its old and new, it was made about ten years ago, but it was not completed. I don't know who did it, and what is the purpose? ”

The man counted a few times with his fingers, and then asked, "What is the direction of the tripod?" ”

"South-facing."

"Are there any strange symbols tattooed on it or carved into the stone wall behind it?"

Sun Ce was already surprised by the word "mountain", and when he heard this, he couldn't help it anymore: "Mr. has been here?" ”

"No, but if that's the case, the despicable people have some calculations."

"Please sir come and hear it."

The man waved at Sun Ce and began to pace: "The south of the mountain and the north of the water are called the yang, and the north of the mountain and the south of the water are called the yin. Huashan looks at Yishan Mountain in the south and the Yangtze River in the north, which is the place of Shangyin; If the Yangtze River is compared to a dragon, then Huashan is located in the heart of the dragon, and the dragon energy gathers in the four seas, and its elephant is as expensive as the north of Luoyang. It is based on a cave and guarded by a giant snake, which should be a yin house. Ding is an alchemy thing, symbolizing the ascension to immortals. Build a high platform and build a stone tripod in the cave, which cannot be done without the strength of ten thousand people. Ten years ago, there was no one who could have built this cave, but the Yellow Turbans were the same. There is only one person who can make the Yellow Turban Army spend so much money to build a Yin Mansion in this dense forest and deep mountains. The major general thought about it carefully, and he knew who it was. ”

Sun Ce's face changed drastically, his eyes were lowered and he was speechless for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he grabbed the man's hand: "Mr. is not Mr. Feng Shui, why do you want to follow my subordinates and come here to solve my doubts?" ”

Seeing that Sun Ce saw through his identity, the man got up and bowed: "Contemptible Zhang Zhao, the word Zibu, is not a feng shui gentleman, in order to ask to see the young general, he had to be called so, deceived the young general, and asked the young general to forgive his sins." It's just that how did the major general see that Zhang was not Mr. Feng Shui? ”

Zhang Zhao is a native of Pengcheng, Xuzhou, who once raised filial piety and was quite prestigious in the Jiangzuo area. Sun Ce naturally heard of his name, and pointed to the jade pendant on Zhang Zhao's waist with a smile: "Dare to ask which feng shui gentleman can afford to wear such a jade pendant?" Why didn't Brother Zibu come to see me directly, but to make such a big detour? ”

Zhang Zhao smiled bitterly: "The young general doesn't know, Zhang has actually followed you all the way." It's just that the major general's account is full of martial artists, and there are no well-educated people, even if Zhang reports himself, how can those generals recognize him. ”

Two days ago, he sighed that there was no one under the tent to be a civil servant, Zhang Zhao sent it to the door, Sun Ce smiled and sighed: "I was negligent, what Mr. said is true, now I don't say that there are no well-educated people under my account, and there are even many generals who are illiterate, just like Amun, who went to find Mr. Amon, who is full of cleverness, but has no great wisdom." If Mr. doesn't dislike it, would he be willing to help Sun with a certain hand? ”

Zhang Zhao bowed again: "I am friends with Guangling Taishou Zhao Yu, and I killed Zhao Yu, treacherous, and the crime is unforgivable." The young general defeated Zhenrong, which was Zhang's wish, and from now on, he was willing to smear the young general's liver and brain! ”

"Great", Sun Ce put his hands on Zhang Zhao's shoulders, "With Mr. help, Sun is very honored." In the future, if Sun has done anything wrong, I implore Mr. to criticize and correct. If there are celebrities who have been talented for a long time, please also ask Mr. to recommend. ”

The summer heat is unbearable, and finally the rain comes, but the heat and humidity are unbearable. Although the Jiangdong soldiers were unwell, they were also accustomed to it, and it was difficult for those northern soldiers to adapt to the water and soil, and they fell ill one after another in three or five days.

Da Qiao was anxious in his eyes, and ordered the gang to boil mung bean water for the soldiers to take. Xiao Qiao couldn't help, so he went on an outing in the mountains north of the city with Changmu Xiu.

The two climbed from early morning to noon, and finally reached the top of the mountain. Looking at the Yangtze River like a silver belt at the end of her sight, Xiao Qiao looked at the autumn water, but she couldn't see Chaohu Lake, couldn't see the small county by the lake, and couldn't see the person she thought about day and night.

Changmu Xiu looked at Xiao Qiao's exquisite side face, and asked softly: "Wan'er, Zhou Gongjin...... How are you treated? ”

Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Zhou Lang treats me very well, Brother Xiu, don't worry." ”

"Since he loves you, why did he never propose to General Qiao?"

Xiao Qiao's cheeks turned red, and his expression was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while before he lowered his head and replied, "I don't know ...... either."

Changmu Xiu raised his hand and wanted to brush Xiao Qiao's long hair, but he hesitated for a moment, and then put down his hand weakly: "Wan'er, I'll leave tonight." ”

Xiao Qiao's eyes were murmuring, he raised his eyes to look at Changmu Xiu, and said puzzledly: "Leave tonight?" Why did you come and go? ”

"I'm just a messenger, and staying too long will make your brother-in-law suspicious. My sister has a liquor store in Wu County, and I should go and see her and help her out. ”

Xiao Qiao nodded obediently, seeing the reluctance in Changmu Xiu's eyes, she smiled and relieved: "Brother Xiu, don't be sad, my brother-in-law will fight Wu Jun in a few days, and when the time comes, we will meet again." ”

Xiao Qiao's coquettish smile was like a cool breeze in summer, which made Changmu Xiu extremely fascinated, he finally relieved his sorrow, and a few smiles appeared on his handsome face: "I will look forward to that day day and night." ”

After speaking, the two of them stopped talking, but quietly looked at the mountains and lakes side by side. If it weren't as Changmu Xiu expected, when he arrived in Wu County, Zhou Yu should also come to Sun Ce's army, and at that time, who would die would always be known.
