"Bo Fu."

When the people from the Taishou Mansion introduced Zhou Yu into the small courtyard, Sun Ce smiled as soon as he saw the handsome boy in front of him: "Gong Jin, you want to kill me!" ”

The two saw each other, supported each other's arms, and talked about their longing.

"Gong Jin, it's been a bumpy road, are you tired? Quick, try my Changsha specialty, iced sour plum soup. ”

A bowl of sour plum soup was handed to Zhou Yu by Sun Ce, Zhou Yu took a sip, and in this season when autumn was about to begin, he actually experienced a trace of unexpected coolness, and immediately asked: "Bo Fu, is it not the new good of the nobles of the Central Plains family, is it really produced in Changsha?" ”

"Nakahara?"

Zhou Yu described: "Today's Central Plains has completely changed its appearance, and among the wealthy families, they are rich in sweetness, and the first thing is this sour plum ice. ”

"If you get together with friends and neighbors, you can't take out sour plum ice to entertain, you will be laughed at as shabby, the entire Central Plains overnight 'Luoyang ice is expensive', this small bowl of sour plum soup, in the dog days, can be sold for a high price of 'one or two gold'!"

"How much!"

Zhou Yu continued: "Yu heard that Dong Zhuo's old thief has reached the point of no ice and no joy, not only eating this sour plum ice, but when he falls asleep, he makes people put the sour plum ice on his side to cool down. ”

"If it weren't for the princes of the Eighteenth Road to beg Dong and scare the old thief to abandon Luoyang and run to Chang'an, he would be alone, how much people's fat and people's ointment would have to be consumed."

Sun Ce was surprised, he couldn't have imagined that this ice would be sold for such a high price!

"Brother Bofu, it seems that Changsha is already full of food and clothing, why did I see that the people were still in rags when I got off the ferry port?"

Sun Ce explained again and again: "Gong Jin doesn't know. ”

He said slowly: "It is true that this midsummer ice is produced in Changsha, but when it was produced, my father was preparing to raise an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, and he had no time to operate, so he could only sell it to the Kuai, Cai, Ma, Pang and other families in exchange for food. During the Central Plains War, Wang Rui besieged Changsha, and my Changsha became a battlefield again, in this case, the treasury was difficult to support, so it was ......"

Sun Ce was embarrassed to tell the truth, he couldn't say it at all!

A jar of ice in Changsha is worth one or two gold in Luoyang, and the price difference is already out of the sky.

"Isn't it?" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "On the way to Taishou Mansion, I saw a vendor selling this chilled sour plum soup, and the price is very low. ”

Of course, Sun Ce knew about this, so he said: "Gong Jin, the iced sour plum soup in Changsha City actually does not have ice, but imitates the sour plum soup sold by the family, and uses deep well water to make the sour plum soup, although it is still cool, it cannot be compared with ice crystals, which is cheap." ”

"In other words, Wu Chenghou gave up the profits of the iced sour plum soup in exchange for military rations to crusade against Dong Zhuo......" Zhou Yu didn't understand a little, and when he couldn't understand why he gave up his interests in vain, he asked: "Then Changsha should always have something to gain." ”

Sun Ce said in a low voice: "Wang Rui was defeated by my father under the city, and the Cai family and the Kuai family, who suffered from the grievances of the Sun family, united with the local gentry, and when the elite soldiers of my Sun family arrived at Xiangyang City, they killed the deputy general who defended the city and sacrificed Xiangyang City. Now General Cheng Pu has swept Nanyang County, my grandson's family, and the five counties are in hand. ”

"Five counties? In other words, Wuchenghou used this difference to buy a strong city! ”

"It's just, Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha, Xiangyang, where did the five counties come from?"

"Wuling Cao Yin was at odds with Wang Rui, and when he learned that Wang Rui was dead, he surrendered to my father with Wuling."

"What!"

Zhou Yu was shocked!

"This Wu Chenghou is good at planning."

"He gave up all his profits, and completely tied the family to the Sun family's chariot, once he and Wang Rui split the victory and defeat, this Jingzhou is already in his hands, this far-sightedness, Yu can't do it."

Sun Ce nodded and said: "Yes, now that the money has been spent, and the effect has been seen, while the military strength has grown, it has fallen into a shortage of personnel." ”

"The Sun family is nothing in the eyes of the Central Plains magnates, so since the army, there is still no one to vote, if it is not for the best to maintain, the envelope Mr. Yi to the command, wrote the "Nine Chapters and Twelve Laws", so far Changsha government affairs can not be followed."

"Gongjin, it's good that you're here, the current Jingzhou should be a good time for you and my brother to join forces to create a career."

Zhou Yu's eyes were full of longing, as if he had seen a starry future!

Think about the beginning, his grandfather Zhou Jing and cousin Zhou Zhong were all officials to the rank of captain, what was the scenery of the Luoyang Zhou family at that time? When it came to his father Zhou Yi's generation, he also fell into the official position of Luoyang Order, but since the chaos in the world, who still cares about taking materials for the imperial court, he has asked people to give a filial piety several times, and he has preferred to spend money to buy it, but he can't even enter the door, which is simply a shame for his ancestors.

The Zhou family originated from Zhou Yu's great-grandfather Zhou Rong, and the Yuan family originated from Yuan An, Zhou Rong happened to be Yuan An's henchman, starting from Yuan An, each generation of the Yuan family has the position of three dukes, and the Zhou family, until Zhou Jing, that is, Zhou Rong's grandchildren, mixed with the three dukes. Therefore, the Yuan family is the third duke of the fourth generation, and the Zhou family is the third duke of the second generation.

What's more interesting is that Zhou Yu was born in the fourth year of Xiping, when Cao Cao raised filial piety in the third year of Xiping, lost in the competition for Luoyang Ling, and finally got the consolation prize Luoyang Northern Lieutenant, that is to say, Cao Cao is Zhou Yi's subordinate, maybe Zhou Yu was born and gave gifts.

is such a prominent family but the middle of the family Zhou Yu even struggled to raise filial piety, if it wasn't for Yuan Shu's strength later, and the lack of talent like Sun Jian now, I remembered Zhou Yu after the two worlds and three dukes, and it was impossible to want to appoint him as a general, let alone Zhou Yu saw that Yuan Shu couldn't succeed, so he retreated to the second, and would rather live in the nest than go to Yuan Shu's side, all of this is to facilitate Dongdu to follow Sun Ce.

As for the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Sun Ce was 'well-known and famous' when he was young, and Zhou Yu also 'became a long-cherished achievement', repeatedly persuaded Sun Ce to live in his hometown of Shu County, and promised to send a house. The result? Sun Jian took Changsha and recruited his mother and son, and since then the pair of 'friends in the general horns' have been separated.

The so-called total horn refers to the friendship of children between the ages of eight and thirteen or four.

"What does Bo Fu want?"

Sun Ce said: "My father has the heart to attack Jiangxia Huangzu, and all the generals have just experienced a series of battles, I have the heart to go on behalf of my father, and I will need Gong Jin to help me at that time." ”

Zhou Yu thought for a long time and said: "The Huang family has lived in Jiangxia for a long time, and its Huang family is deeply rooted. Wu Chenghou pulled out this nail, which can be said to be equivalent to mastering the entire territory of Jingzhou, Bo Fu, but do you know why Wu Chenghou already has soldiers and food, but he is reluctant to send troops? ”

"Why?"
