To the east of Dong'a, there is a county name Qingting.

Although the Cao and Sun families temporarily ceased fighting that day, the two sides still had their own precautions.

Cao Cao took Cao Chuntun Dong'a, and Sun Jian used Sun Setun to clear the pavilion.

The two looked at each other from a distance and confronted each other.

Today, Sun Ceben was hunting in the woods outside the city and had a lot of harvest.

Suddenly, a soldier came to report that a small group of suspicious military horses appeared outside Linyi City not far away.

There are only a few hundred soldiers in Linyi County, and now that the enemy army has appeared, it is natural to ask Sun Ce for help as soon as possible.

Sun Ce didn't feel any different, although the two families of Sun and Cao had negotiated peace these days, there were fewer fights on the surface, but there were more small actions in the secret.

The two sides will not expose it, and if they suffer losses, they can only complain about their own poor skills.

He ordered all the horses and went straight to Linyi County.

The heroes of the past dynasties, Sun Ce's favorite overlord Xiang Yu in the past, also has many similarities with his use of soldiers.

Therefore, although he is a southerner, he likes to use cavalry the most.

It's just that when he led the army to Linyi County, no one in the county came out to greet him.

Sun Ce frowned, he remembered that the county magistrate of Linyi was a figure who was good at slapping horses and flattering.

If this man is still in the city, or if this city is still in the hands of this man, he will never let go of this good opportunity to shoot the horse.

Sun Jian is known as the Menghu of Jiangdong, and Sun Ce is unique to his father, and has an indescribable innate intuition on the battlefield.

He exhaled and motioned for the horses he had brought with him to slowly retreat.

And when their military horses just showed signs of evacuation, the gate of Linyi County suddenly opened, and an army came out of it and came straight to Sun Ce and others.

As the leader, he rode a horse with a spear, and a pair of bows hung from the saddle.

Even Sun Ce, who has seen many heroes, can't help but praise a good person when he sees this person.

This person obviously also saw Sun Ce and went straight to Sun Ce.

After all, the bright red cloak on Sun Ce's body was very eye-catching in the army.

Sun Ce was originally a brave person, and he also knew in his heart that if he insisted on retreating now, he would inevitably be chased and killed.

Therefore, he had changed his military order at this time, and he also led his soldiers to kill the cavalry that suddenly appeared.

As for life and death, when he went to the battlefield, Sun Ce never cared about those.

Death is death.

Suddenly, the two sides fought together, and the cries of battle became one after another.

The cavalry is opposite, and life and death are suddenly divided!

Sun Ce and the bow-wielding general fought together, fighting for seven or eight rounds in a row, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Sun Ce knew in his heart that in terms of martial arts, the two were actually between the best, but he was on horseback, and his ability was at most eighty percent.

And that man is different in riding clothes, and he has a skill, but he can play ten percent on horseback.

Now the two sides seem to be evenly matched, but in fact, he has faintly fallen into the upper hand, and if he continues to fight, he will definitely lose.

And by the time he was engaged with the horseman, most of his cavalry had been lost.

Only more than ten horsemen can barely fight.

Sun Ce glanced left and right, and sighed, "I don't think my Sun Bofu will be defeated here today."

He looked up at the negative bow general on the opposite side and asked, "The enemy general can be named!"

The general saw that Sun Ce was very brave, and his words were quite heroic, if it weren't for the battlefield meeting, the two of them must have become friends who drank and talked.

The young general held his gun in his hand and said in a deep voice: "A certain is under the Qingzhou pastoral tent, and Tai Shici is coming from the east!"

Sun Ce laughed loudly and clenched the spear in his hand, "Sun Ce is not dead yet, let's fight!"

Although Tai Shici and this person cherish each other, they can meet on the battlefield, and there is only a mortal enemy!

Without saying a word, he commanded his cavalry and surrounded and killed Sun Ce.

At this time, Sun Ce was extremely dangerous, and once he was surrounded by these cavalry, it would inevitably be a dead and lifeless ending.

It's just that in this predicament, Sun Ce was not afraid of anger and fought with a gun.

It's even better than ever.

Only in the predicament can you see the true colors of the overlord!

It's just a battle above the battle array, and it's not a lone life-and-death duel in the countryside.

The courage of one person is useful, but it is difficult to be of great use.

Otherwise, on the bank of the Wujiang River back then, why did the overlord die?

The cavalry around Sun Ce became fewer and fewer, and although he still kept wielding his gun, he had already been injured in many places, and the blood on his body was pouring out, making the already scarlet cloak behind him a little more vivid.

Seeing that Sun Ce was about to be defeated, an army suddenly rushed over.

The man at the head is extremely young, beautiful, and equipped with a long sword.

The person who came was Zhou Yu.

After this person led the army to arrive, he was not in a hurry to rescue Sun Ce, but arranged his troops and slowly advanced forward.

Tai Shi Ci glanced at it from afar, didn't look at it anymore, and commanded his cavalry to slowly retreat.

Over the years, he has seen many heroes under Liu Bei's account.

Even if he hadn't fought before, he could see that this person was no ordinary person.

Now that he is alone, this time he was a surprise, a miss, and thousands of miles away.

If you are dragged here by this person, I am afraid that you will inevitably be eroded away.

Seeing Tai Shici and the others retreating, Zhou Yu didn't chase after him, but just turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to check Sun Ce's injuries.

Seeing that Sun Ce was not worried about his life, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I don't want you to have today, and I will see if you dare to act so arbitrarily in the future."

Sun Ce wanted to smile heroically to show that he was fine, but he accidentally touched the wound and grinned in pain.

Zhou Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Sun Ce stood up with his gun in his hand, and asked, "Yuan Shao was defeated too quickly, and the Qingzhou army came too quickly."

Zhou Yu nodded, "The soldiers are very fast, and Liu Xuande is indeed very good at it. I also got the news of Yuan Shao's defeat first, and I heard that you led the army out, so I came with the military horses in the nearby city. If it's a step late......

Sun Ce looked around, the hundreds of horses he brought, now there are only seven or eight horses left.

These people are all his sons and daughters.

Sun Ce exhaled, his face bitter, "They came with our father and son across the river back then, and they didn't want to succeed, but they died here."

Zhou Yu shook his head, "Everyone has their own lives, don't say it's them, even if it's you and me, in such a troubled world, why don't you say that death is death."

Sun Ce was speechless, silent.

…………

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Xuzhou was originally in Pengcheng, but on the same day Cao Cao attacked, Pengcheng fell, Cao Cao slaughtered a city, and the stream did not flow.

Later, Cao Cao retreated, although Pengcheng was reclaimed, but now the population is withering, and it is naturally not good to use it as the capital again.

Moreover, Tao Qian has been seriously ill since this battle, and seeing this sad place will inevitably make his condition worse.

Tao Qian was seriously ill, so naturally he couldn't take care of the affairs of the state.

Now Xuzhou's affairs are divided into two.

In military affairs, Tao Qian's favorite general Cao Bao is the mainstay, and in political affairs, it is mainly Sun Qian and Mi Zhu.

Sun Qian is a disciple of Zheng Xuan, and his mentorship relationship is all over Xuzhou, and he is known as a virtuous person in the state and is fair.

Tao Qian has always hated celebrities and celebrities, and often has bad words about celebrities in the state.

For example, Zhang is famous in the state, but he is still disgusted by Tao Qian, so he has to hide in Jiangdong to avoid trouble.

But Tao Qian attaches great importance to Sun Gan alone, and he can also know Sun Gan's ability.

Mijia is a surname in Xuzhou, not a high-ranking family, but a businessman who started by business, and is a veritable businessman.

Tao Qian wants to show his skills in Xuzhou, naturally he can't do without money, and the Mi family is undoubtedly his money bag, so Tao Qian also relies on the Mi family.

Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family, is even more entrusted with important responsibilities.

Tao Qian, who had not stood up to look at things for many days today, suddenly ordered someone to find a few of them.

At this time, Tao Qian was leaning on the bed behind him, coughing a few times, and then his breath was weak and intermittent

"I have been seriously ill in bed for many days, thanks to your presence, Xuzhou can barely maintain, these days have been hard for you. I have come to you today for one purpose."

"Now that the battle of Qingzhou has come to an end, Yuan Benchu lost his army and retreated to Jizhou, and if he wants to make a comeback, he is afraid that it will be difficult to climb to the sky. Xuzhou borders Qingzhou, on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore? Now that Liu Xuande has free his hands, he is afraid that he will look at us in Xuzhou. If it was back then, I would have been fearless, but unfortunately I can't do it now."

The three people in the room were noncommittal, but they actually had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Tao Qian glanced at a few people, he also walked up step by step, and he could guess what the three of them thought in their hearts.

If it was a few years earlier, when he had a strong heart, the person who dared to have two hearts would have been dragged down and killed by him a long time ago.

It's just that now, he doesn't have that heart.

Tao Qian opened his mouth again: "Yesterday, I got a letter from Qingzhou, written by Liu Bei himself, saying that he heard that I was seriously ill, so he specially sent Xun Or to visit, counting the days, it is almost time to come."

When the three of them heard this, their hearts sank.

Tao Qian smiled: "How my body is, my own family knows best, I guess I can't last a few days. What will happen in the future, I probably can't care about it, and the rest of these days, I also want to be pure. So this Xun or I are gone, and you can treat me as a guest."

The three of them answered.

Tao Qian's face showed some fatigue, waved his hand, and sighed, "Let's all step down, I won't dream of Zhou Gong for a long time."

…………

The three of them exited the door and walked together for a while.

Cao Bao looked at the two of them, spoke first, and said with a smile: "Now that the lord is seriously ill, the affairs of Xuzhou still depend on the two of them, the leopard is a vulgar person, I don't know what the two of them think about what they think is going to happen now?"

Mi Zhu smiled and said, "Zhu is a businessman, and this matter has a lot to do with it, and I can't say it."

Sun Qian also smiled and said: "As Mi Jun said, Qian is nothing more than an ordinary scribe, and the small things on weekdays are fine, but such a big thing, naturally Cao Jun is the master."

Cao Bao smiled proudly, but he still said humbly: "The lord has entrusted me with this important matter, and we should still work together to protect Xuzhou."

"It is expected that Naxun may be just a scribe, although he has a great name, he must not be able to do anything."

The other two said yes.

Cao Bao was the first to leave, and the remaining two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

…………

A few days later, Xun may come to Xuzhou.

There was no army to escort him, and he was accompanied by only dozens of personal guards.

The person at the head is Shi A.

And among them, there is also a young man of twelve or thirteen years old.

Xun or arrived in Xuzhou, and went to visit Tao Qian on the same day, but unfortunately Tao Qian was rejected on the grounds of serious illness.

Then he rented a courtyard in Xuzhou to live, and he was idle on weekdays, just playing the piano and reading.

Yingchuan Xun family, the world's high gate, Xun or early reputation outside, Xuzhou has many celebrities, so Xun or outside the courtyard where he lives, every day the carriage and horses continue, come to visit Xuzhou celebrities like the carp across the river.

Xun or he is not bored, and he copes with it appropriately every day, and he is not tired.

Many celebrities who came to visit also came with the excitement, and returned with the excitement, and when they met people outside, they would praise the Yingchuan Xun family as a great family of poetry and books, and Xun or Xun Wenruo was a great person, and he was naturally a person who could do great things in the future.

In the end, I naturally can't forget to mention a little bit, Xun Langjun also attaches great importance to his own family, presumably this is the so-called heroes and heroes cherish each other.

Today, Xun may be in the backyard with his eyes closed.

The young man who had come with him was sitting across from him, reading.

The young man flips the book very quickly, and he just looks at the general idea.

Xun He suddenly opened his eyes and smiled, "Ah Liang, do you want to play a game with me?"

The young man on the other side shook his head.

The boy takes Zhuge as his surname, as for it

There are two theories about the origin.

First, the first Ge clan, Benlangya counties, and then Yangdu. Yangdu first had the surname Ge, and the people of the time called Zhuge because he thought it was a clan.

Another said that Ge Ying was a general of Chen She, and he was punished for meritorious service, and Emperor Xiaowen posthumously recorded and named his grandson Zhuxian Marquis, because of his family.

And the young man's single name is a bright word.

Seeing that he didn't want to play against himself, Xun He sighed.

Some people, if they don't take advantage of their youth to bully their youth, win a win, and wait until they grow up in the future, I'm afraid they won't have a chance again.

[In view of the general environment,

And the young man on the other side is this kind of person.

Xun Or smiled again: "This time, the lord wants you to come with me, because I want you to see the world with me, what do you think of this matter?"

Although Zhuge Liang was smart, he was trapped in this corner of Langya before, so Liu Bei asked Xun or to take him to broaden his horizons.

There is Xun or in, there will be no big mistakes. Even if it doesn't work out, it's not difficult for them to get out of the way.

What's more, in Liu Bei's view, the trip to Xuzhou is actually not a big deal.

If you can talk about it, you can talk about it, if you can't talk about it, you will come to it with soldiers!

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said with a smile: "When Liang was in Langya, my brother often mentioned people from Xuzhou to me. Come to think of it, we're waiting for someone right now."

Xun He nodded, not perfunctory at all because the person opposite was just a young man, "It's true that Tao Qian is seriously ill, but this former Menghu, even if it really falls out of teeth, is not as bad as it is now. We're waiting, Tao Gongzu isn't holding his breath and waiting."

Shi A, who was standing behind Xun He, took the words of the two into his ears and was slightly surprised.

He thought that Liu Bei had sent him here this time just to protect Xun He's thoughtfulness, but at that time he thought it was a bit overkill, just to negotiate, how to use him as an assassin.

It's just that now after listening to Xun He's words, it is obvious that this person has other plans

He then looked up at Xun He, with a strange look on his face, "I thought Xun Jun was a serious and decent person, and he would even think of these tricks."

Xun Or said with a smile: "With the right fit, with the odd victory, the reader, don't be biased."

Zhuge Liang on the other side was enlightened.
