There is a mountain name called Zipeng in the north of Shucheng, which is named because the fairy mist comes out of the peak and the purple gas comes from the east. After attacking the city, Sun Ce led the army to camp at the southern foot of this mountain, which was about ten miles away from Shucheng.

After Han Dang counted the casualties, he entered the account and said to Sun Ce: "Young General, our army has about 100 wounded in this battle, of which more than 40 are seriously wounded. Fifteen people were killed in battle, and all of them have been collected, and the salary allowance and bereavement pension will be distributed to their families at a later date in accordance with military regulations. ”

There will be casualties in every battle, but as the commander-in-chief, how can he ignore sacrifice. Sun Ce pondered for a moment and came to his senses: "The two of them, I said to let them enter the account for questioning, how can they ......?"

Huang Gai replied: "General Cheng went to invite him, but the tall man kept arguing and hungry, so General Cheng let them eat first." ”

Cheng Pu said with a smile: "That big man is a famous strong man in our army, but the amount of food is much larger than that of others, and he often shouts that he is hungry, which has caused General Han a headache before." ”

Before I knew it, it was past noon, and the army began to distribute food. Sun Ce got up and said to everyone: "It just so happens that I also want to see the food, let's go and have a look together." Gong Jin, go. ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu walked out of the tent with Sun Ce, followed by Huang Gai and Cheng Pu. I only heard Huang Gai ask in a low voice, "How is it?" Gong Jin's archery skills are superb, right? ”

Han Dang glanced at Huang Gai and said puzzledly: "Huang Gongfu, you are so serious in your ordinary life, why is it that when you mention Zhou Gongjin, it seems like a different person?" ”

"No matter how serious a person is, there will be someone to appreciate, what's so strange about that?"

Next to the big stove in the camp, the soldiers carried small buckets, lined up to get corn porridge, and then squatted aside to eat. The little soldier who rescued Han Dang at the head of the city leaned on the side of the strong man, the two of them were tall, short, strong and thin, and they contrasted with each other.

Hercules "snorted" for a while, and drank the wooden basin in his hand in three or two sips, he smacked his lips and rubbed his abdomen, only to feel that he was not hungry, so he turned his eyes and stared directly at the small soldier beside him, flat mouth and eyes, very pitiful.

The little man was stared at by Hercules so that his scalp was numb, and he had no choice but to stuff the wooden basin in his hand into Hercules' hand: "Okay, okay, I'm full, you can take it." ”

Hercules immediately took it, drank it all, raised his hand and wiped his mouth, and smiled heartily.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at the fence for a long time, turned around and smiled: "Okay, they're done eating, let's invite them now." ”

Hercules and the little man were called into the account, still confused. Han Dang saw that the two of them were stunned, and coughed lightly and said, "I haven't seen the young general yet." ”

Only then did the two salute in a panic. Sun Ce waved his hand, signaling that the two of them did not need to be nervous: "Ordinary questions, no formality." I just heard him call you Atai? ”

Hercules smiled very innocently: "My name is Zhou Tai!" The word Youping, Jiujiang Xia Cai people, everyone calls me Atai! ”

"It turns out that your surname is also Zhou", Sun Ce looked at Zhou Tai, and then tilted his head to look at Zhou Yu, "It doesn't look like it." ”

Everyone in the tent laughed, Zhou Yu was a little uncomfortable, and gave Sun Ce a look, signaling him not to judge people by their appearance.

Who knew that Zhou Tai didn't care at all, and laughed the loudest: "I also want to be good-looking, but I prefer to have a lot of strength!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he got up and approached, only to see that his eight-foot body was a head shorter in front of Zhou Tai, and he couldn't help but feel a little competitive, he swung his fist and hit Zhou Tai's face door, Zhou Tai did not dodge, he was hit by this, blinking, and confused.

Sun Ce couldn't help but be surprised: "Why don't you hide!" ”

Zhou Tai replied: "The young general beat me, I don't dare to hide." ”

If ordinary people were hit by Sun Ce, even if they didn't faint, they would have to suffer for a long time, but Zhou Tai didn't react. Zhou Yu also admired and sighed that this person was rare.

Sun Ce laughed, turned around and asked the little man on the side, "What about you?" What's your name? The blow on the city wall was really wonderful. ”

When the little man saw that he was asked, he arched his hand and replied: "Tell the young general, the villain's name is Jiang Qin, a person from Shouchun." That blow was just a reaction in a hurry, and the villain didn't dare to take credit. ”

Han Dang stepped forward and waved at Jiang Qin: "If it weren't for this, Han would have been in a different place, and the two of you don't have to be too humble, just accept Han Mou's worship." ”

Sun Ce stepped forward and patted Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin on the shoulders and praised: "One is strong and the other is agile, are you two willing to stay under my tent and be my close guards?" ”

Zhou Tai didn't think about it and replied: "I don't want to, I want to go to the front line to fight." ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he tried his best to hold back his laughter. Sure enough, Sun Ce was displeased, and said, "What do you mean?" Could it be that my grandson is the kind of person who hides in battle in your eyes? I'm telling you, follow me to have an endless tough battle, do you understand? ”

Jiang Qin stood on tiptoe and whispered to Zhou Tai: "With the young general, you can eat enough porridge, maybe there will be a nest every three or five days." ”

Zhou Tai laughed at this time, and replied with a fist: "Okay, I'll do it!" ”

In the evening, Qiao Rui's department came to the foot of Zipeng Mountain at the agreed time and camped two miles away from Sun Ce's department. Together with Zhou Yu and Han Dang, Sun Ce rode to the camp and reported today's battle situation with Qiao Rui.

After a tiring journey and a change of seasons, Qiao Rui coughed and fell ill again, and she couldn't cough and wheezing without saying a few words. Seeing this, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu hurriedly got up to say goodbye, making time for Qiao Rui to rest and recuperate.

Outside the tent, 18,000 soldiers were encamped. Seeing Sun Ce, Zhu Zhi rushed forward and arched his hand: "Young General." ”

Sun Ce asked in a low voice, "Have you found out everything I ordered?" ”

"Tell the major general that the last general has found out that among the soldiers sent by Yuan Shu to transport grain, there are indeed three or five Zhang Xun's subordinates mixed ......"

Zhou Yu was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he immediately said: "General Zhu, it's not early, your 1,000 soldiers have not yet set up camp, we have reserved the place for you, without further ado......"

Sure enough, there was a soldier standing not far from the side, his eyes flashing. Zhu Zhi comprehended Zhou Yu's meaning, immediately bowed, and said: "Zhou Gongzi, the child named Lu Meng, his mother suddenly fell seriously ill, and after we escorted the old lady and Miss Gongzi back to Wu County, he went back to his hometown to serve the sick. ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Zhou knows, General Lao Zhu bothered." ”

A low tent was set up at the end of the camp, and when Sun Ce saw this, he smiled and said to Han Dang Zhu Zhi: "General Han General Zhu, you go back to the camp first." Remembering to think about the attack on the Lujiang River, we discussed the battle plan at night. ”

Han Dang Zhu Zhi hugged his fists and bowed down. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu walked slowly towards the low tent together, a distance of about a hundred steps, Zhou Yu stopped: "Bo Fu, there are all female dependents in front, there is some inconvenience, I will wait for you here." ”

Sun Ce responded: "Don't worry, I remember everything you entrusted." ”

This place is the residence of relatives and is guarded by special personnel. Seeing Sun Ce, the gatekeeper stopped: "Who are you?" Why trespass! ”

Sun Ce didn't dare to be abrupt, and replied respectfully: "I am Sun Bofu of Wujun, I am looking for Miss Da Qiao, if it is inconvenient for the female dependents, I can wait here." ”

The gatekeeper looked Sun Ce up and down: "Come to find Miss Da Qiao, do you have a warrant from General Qiao?" ”

Thinking of wanting to see Da Qiao, Sun Ce was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with others: "I'm here to find Miss Da Qiao, and it's not a military secret, why do you want General Qiao's warrant?" If she doesn't recognize me, she won't come out to see me, so what do you have to worry about? ”

Sun Ce's words were reasonable, although the gatekeeper was reluctant, he had to drag his steps and slowly go to report.

On the side of the hedge, Sun Ce waited for the beauty, the beautiful scenery came in, the sun was setting, the mountain air was excellent, the winged bird fluttered its wings and flew together, it was early summer in a blink of an eye, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the boredom of the unsuccessful siege gradually eased.

There was a sudden sound of soft footsteps behind him, Sun Ce was overjoyed, turned around, but saw that the person who came was not Da Qiao but Xiao Qiao, he couldn't help but be full of loss, and wondered: "Why are you here?" ”

Xiao Qiao snorted coldly, stared at Sun Ce and said, "How much do you think I want to come to see you?" If it weren't for my sister's entrustment, I wouldn't have bothered to come. ”

"Where's your sister?"

"My sister...... I didn't feel very comfortable, so I didn't come out to see you. ”

Sun Ce's eyes instantly dimmed, and his face was melancholy. Seeing this, Xiao Qiao felt a chill all over her body, and she muttered softly: "It's really an idiot for a man and a woman...... Well, this letter was given to you by my sister, you ......."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Ce pulled the letterhead in Xiao Qiao's hand, rubbed his hands twice on his robe, and couldn't wait to read the letter.

Xiao Qiao couldn't help pouting: "Is there such a hurry?" Okay, mission accomplished, I'm gone. ”

Sun Ce remembered what Zhou Yu had entrusted him, and hurriedly drank Xiao Qiao: "Hey, don't go, Gongjin has something to look for you, you can see him if you walk out ten feet along this road." ”

Xiao Qiao's promise was very perfunctory, but his heart almost jumped out of his throat: Zhou Yu is looking for himself? What is going on?
