Qin Jian took a breath and suddenly smiled, "Cao Cao's trick Huang Que gave us Yanzhou later." Tian Feng and Fu Zhi, the two military divisions, seized the opportunity and had already waved their troops south, occupying Chenliu yesterday, and the lord was now the lord of the four states. ”

Shi Xin smiled heartily, "The two military advisors really didn't disappoint me. By the way, what about Xiangyang and Shouchun? These two cities are guarded by soldiers and horses, and they are guarded by real dragon shields, so they were defeated too easily, right?"

Qin Jian glanced at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, sighed, and said, "There are soldiers and horses guarding it." But the Jiangdong army was light on the enemy, and obviously did not expect Cao Cao to raid the real dragon shield, and before he could put it down, he was robbed of the real dragon staff by Dian Wei Xu Chu and others who were dressed in disguise. After the real dragon staff is obtained, the governance office will be at your fingertips. Cao Cao's old trick was repeated, and 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jingyang and Yangzhou were gathered, and the rest surrendered and died, making it difficult to organize an effective attack. ”

In the final analysis, Sun Quan was persuaded by Pang Tong to deal with Shi Xin, and the generals who stayed behind were unable to protect the city and the real dragon staff.

Shi Xin pondered for a moment, and said helplessly to Sun Ce: "Brother Bofu, you have also heard, now that Jingyang Erzhou has changed hands, you have also seen Cao Cao's strength, it's not that I don't want to lend you troops, I'm afraid that it will be useless to lend you." After these two battles, I have only about 70,000 men left. Next, I will surround Pi and take Xuzhou. If I succeed, I will have more territory bordering Cao Cao and Sima Yi, and there will be five more states to garrison, and my troops will obviously be stretched. ”

In fact, there were about 80,000 soldiers under Shi Xin's account, and he deliberately said less, just because he didn't want to borrow troops. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are also difficult to count one by one, he says as many as he wants.

Shi Xin sighed and continued: "In this way, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses will increase to 70,000, and the strong generals are like forests, and my generals will have to stay to deal with Guan Zhang." What's more, he has just won three states, and the governance office must be heavily armed, and the real dragon shield is also falling all the time, even if you lead the troops forward, it will be in vain. ”

What Shi Xin said was true, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu couldn't be clearer.

Sun Cehu's eyes were full of tears, trembling all over, looking south, his heart had already flown to Shouchun Sun's house.

"Mother, the child is not filial, and Jiangdong has fallen into the hands of thieves. You guys...... Are you okay?" The second half of the sentence is full of longing, it should be remembered Da Qiao.

Zhou Yu was also frowning and sighing.

"Gong Jin, let's go, let's sneak into Shouchun and rescue our relatives. As soon as Sun Ce wiped his tears, he pulled Zhou Yu and left.

"Don't worry, I have good news here. Qin Jian hurriedly stopped the two.

"Good news?"

Sun Ce is very dissatisfied, now that his family is ruined, what good news can he have for his father's single-handed handwriting?

Qin Jian saw that Sun Ce's face was angry, and hurriedly explained: "General Sun, don't worry, it's like this. Our Eagle Department has some manpower in Shouchun, and when Cao Jun entered Shouchun, he transferred Mrs. Sun in advance, as well as the important family members of the Sun family, as well as the two wives of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who have also rescued Shouchun. It should be on the way by now. ”

"Really?"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were overjoyed at the same time and exclaimed.

The people Qin Jian said were actually Sun Ying. Cao Cao attacked suddenly, and the Sun Mansion was already in chaos, and it was basically all uninformed women. Sun Ying reacted quickly and brought dozens of Eagle Brothers, asking them to disguise themselves as Jiangdong Army and rush into Sun's mansion.

In order not to attract attention, only Mrs. Sun and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were rescued, as well as a number of important ministers who were not strong in battle. After that, they were secretly transported out of Shouchun.

"Clever, clever! Sun Ying is really a talent, and he knows that I want to recruit Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, special

It is just right to save a few useless women. After all, women are all lovers, and with such a huge disparity in strength, they will only persuade their sons or husbands to be loyal to my big tree and not to do stupid things that are beyond their means. ”

Seeing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's anxious appearance, Shi Xin pondered for a while, and decided to let Qin Jian lead them to join Madam Sun, now that there are enough generals, the absence of the two of them will have little impact on the battle situation.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu burst into tears, thanked Shi Xin many times, and hurriedly went on the road.

Four days later, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei escorted Liu Chan into Xiapi, accompanied by Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and other generals. Xu Shu wanted to investigate Liu Bei's matter, and had already arrived in Xiapi a few days ago, and after everyone entered, he hurriedly lowered the real dragon shield.

Shi Xin commanded 70,000 soldiers and horses and surrounded the four city gates.

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu stood beside Shi Xin, looking a little sad.

"Lord, what now?"

"Wait!"

This answer seems familiar, a few months ago, the soldiers besieged Yecheng, and it was also waiting. But Shi Xin's word "wait" was full of confidence, and he believed that Xu Shu could find out the truth.

In the city of Xiapi, in the depths of Guan Yu's mansion.

"Tell me the truth, what the hell is going on?"

Guan Yu was sitting precariously, stroking his long hair with his hands, not angry and arrogant. On his side stood Zhang Fei and Xu Shu, and opposite him were Liu Bei's maid Xiu'er and the servant in charge of the funeral.

Facing the tower-like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the slender Xiu'er's pretty face turned a little pale, and she carefully told what she had seen and heard that day. Xu Shu had already asked before, but she just said it again in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"What? Did the eldest brother really say that before he died?"

Zhang Fei roared, and an arrow step had already come to Xiu'er, staring at her with big eyes of copper bells, frightening her to take a step back, screaming, and almost fainting.

Zhang Fei's momentum comes from his eighth-rank and five-fold cultivation, as well as his violent temper, and it is also the murderous aura that has been cultivated from his years of martial arts career. High-level pulse masters may not be able to withstand it, let alone Xiu'er is a servant?

"Third brother, don't be impulsive, don't frighten the little girl, you come back first. ”

Guan Yu's majestic voice sounded, and Zhang Fei finally controlled his impulse, but his chest rose and fell, his hands were clenched, and his muscles were bursting up, obviously he was extremely angry.

"Third general, you might as well listen to what you have to say. ”

Although Xu Shu had heard these words countless times, his face was still ugly and scary, and when Liu Bei spoke when he was dying, it was obvious that Liu Chan was the murderer who killed him.

In terms of appearance, he is similar to the weakened version of Zhang Fei, and his performance is much better than Xiu'er, after all, he is used to seeing scenes of life and death.

"Uncle Liu Huang was the one I helped to bury at the beginning, and only Pang Junshi and the young master were by his side at that time. Nothing else, but a little weird. ”

Qi Zuo recalled the scene of that day, "When Uncle Huang just died, the state priest's office invited me. I wiped my uncle's body and found that although he had stopped breathing, his hands and feet were not stiff. His face was haggard, but he did not look like a dead man, and he was secretly surprised at that time. Could it be that Uncle Huang will not be resurrected? Asked the young master and Pang Junshi, they discussed it in a low voice, saying that this is the result of the cultivation of the Liu family's ancestral Son of Heaven's mental method, even if a person dies, the corpse will not decompose within a month. ”

"There are no more wonders in the world of the Pulse Master, and I no longer have doubts. The young master also instructed me to put more makeup on the lord's face, so that everyone would not come to ask, and he would have more things to do next, so as to save trouble. I did it all. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and their expressions became more and more solemn: "Although I know that the eldest brother cultivates the Son of Heaven's mental method

, but I have not heard that the corpse will remain indestructible...... No wonder when we came back the next day, my eldest brother's face was so white. ”

The funeral of a state pastor, from the small burial to the large burial, to the final burial, is very complicated. Although Pang Tong and Liu Chan were determined to solve it quickly, they didn't understand many details and had to involve some professionals.

It can't be simplified to putting it directly into the coffin and finding a place to dig a pit and bury it, right? Wouldn't this make people even more suspicious? Therefore, Liu Bei had to put on makeup, wash his body, wear a shroud, and so on.

Liu Bei's death is different from Sun Jian's, and the biggest difference is that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's status is too high. Although Sun Quan was also young, he sat firmly in the position of the lord after framing Sun Ce. He used the excuse that Sun Jian was poisoned by Shi Xin, he was unrecognizable, and he sealed the coffin with his own hands, and no one dared to question him.

But Liu Chan and Pang Tong can't, Guan Zhang's status is higher than them, and his temper is very big, and he won't even be able to see the last face of his eldest brother at that time. It doesn't matter if you make trouble, if you dig out some evidence, or if Sima Yi can't take Liu Bei's body on time, everything will be over!

So the two decided to do everything as much as possible, at least not to let others see the flaws. Therefore, a person who is familiar with the business is even more essential.

Of course, the two of them did a lot of work to deal with the aftermath, and there were not many people involved, so they were all persuaded to leave Xiapi and sealed their mouths with heavy money. Those who are stubborn will die inexplicably in the end, but not immediately, because that will arouse the suspicion of others.

The funeral industry has a great regionality, and generally does not invite outsiders to do it.

When he went to the place where he was dispatched, he couldn't find any work to do. He is bold enough, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is infected with the vice of gambling. Within a few days, he lost all his money, and he had no other livelihood skills, so he had to secretly return to Xiapi, and was finally found by Xu Shu.

His role is incredible, he follows him all the way from makeup to burial, even if he has to guard the mausoleum for several days after the burial. A person of Liu Bei's status was originally to be kept for three months, but under his last words of "everything is simple", it was reduced to seven days.

"I thought it was weird. That night, I built a shed next to Uncle Liu's tomb, and I will rest here for seven days. slept until midnight, and the young master and Pang Junshi appeared. I was shocked, this is taboo, the soul of the buried person floats nearby, and the most afraid of the heirs or people close to them before their death will return to the cemetery. Because then the soul will not be willing to ascend to heaven, and it will not be able to return until seven days later. ”

"I have warned the young master before, but it is clear that he has taken my words as a deaf ear. He and Master Pang ignored me and began to cry at the cemetery, both hands, hands ......"

Speaking of this, the face of the servant, who was accustomed to seeing "big scenes", became unnatural, and he swallowed his saliva and said: "Both hands began to dig the soil where the coffin was buried." He still shouted, "Father, don't leave me." Something like that. ”

Hearing this, everyone felt the strangeness of the scene that day. No matter how filial a person is, he will not go back to cry in the middle of the night to cry the grave, and he will dig up the soil so fiercely, who will believe it when he says that there is nothing to do?

It even feels creepy.

"And then?"

Zhang Fei saw that he had stopped talking, his heart was anxious, and he urged loudly.

"Then I fainted. When they woke up the next day, the young master and Pang Junshi left. He said helplessly.

"What? You are so timid, how do you behave, you were scared and fainted. I'm mad at me!"

Zhang Fei jumped like thunder, and was about to make a move again, but Xu Shu hurriedly stopped.
