Chapter 101: The Conspiracy of the Rivers

In the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu vomited blood and died, and his younger brother Yuan Yin temporarily led the people of Shouchun.

Shouchun is on the bank of Huaishui, the surrounding terrain is flat, the transportation is convenient, and there is no danger to defend, Yuan Yin was worried that Cao Cao would take the opportunity to go south, so he took the initiative to give up the big city of Shouchun and chose to take refuge in Liu Xun in Lujiang.

Yuan Yin wanted to take Yuan Shu's family to run away, and the magnates of Shouchun City all packed their belongings into cars, and they all planned to move their families to Lujiang.

The upper magnates wanted to throw themselves into the Lujiang River, and the people at the bottom were afraid of Cao Cao's notoriety for slaughtering the city, so they also packed their bags and fled.

For a while, Shouchun was like a plague, and no one wanted to stay.

Seventy or eighty thousand people went on the road together, and the scene was like the migration of animals in Africa, one race and one race, but not one with each other.

The bridge family, including servants, was followed by more than thirty people.

Yuan Shu died in a hurry, Yuan Yin's decision was also in a hurry, and the people of Shouchun had to leave when they heard the news, so the cattle, horses and other livestock were very nervous.

Yuan Shu's family and palace people alone numbered thousands, and they had countless luggage to take away, so they sent troops to forcibly requisition horses and vehicles from wealthy families and officials.

After Qiaofu was forcibly requisitioned into a carriage and horse, there was only one carriage left on the way, and the mother and daughter could only squeeze together.

Qiao Ling has a war horse to walk on his behalf because of Li Tun, and an entourage like Luo Yicheng can only shake the ham honestly.

On the way, the weather was hot and dusty.

And because of the slow travel of many people, only in the morning and evening when the weather is cooler, so the daily travel is only more than ten miles.

Sleeping in the wilderness at night, the Qiao family was centered on the carriage, the entourage and family members rested together, and the periphery was guarded by Li Tun's guards.

There are more than 200 soldiers under Li Tun's command, and he has become the speaker of the Qiao family at this moment, and he is not only responsible for the safety of the Qiao family, but also he is the representative of the Chinese army every night.

Tens of thousands of people are in a hurry, and every day all departments have to touch each other, talk about rules and difficulties.

On the first night of the spring season, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians stayed on the banks of the river, and most of them slept after dinner.

The sound of insects outside the carriage was chirping, and Chen, who was already irritable due to the stuffiness, suddenly noticed that Qiao Wan was moving, so he touched his elbow and scolded softly: "When you go out in exile, it's not as good as the soft couch at home, Wan'er, you are more honest..."

"Mother, I have some abdominal pain...", Qiao Wan moaned quietly.

"Abdominal pain?"

Chen frowned and said to himself: "Xu is the rice just now, your sister and I didn't eat much, but you ate it with relish..."

Qiao Wan covered her lower abdomen: "After a day in the car, my daughter is really hungry... Hiss... It's so uncomfortable..."

Chen lifted the curtain and saw that there was only a little fire along the river, and it was estimated that most people had already slept.

"Now there is no place to find Langzhong for you, so I can only take you to find a place to relieve yourself..."

Chen was about to get up, but Qiao Wei, who was sitting opposite, stretched out his hand and pressed it: "Mother, you rest, I'll take my second sister out." ”

"Be careful, avoid some people." Chen reminded in a whisper.

"Hmm."

Qiao Wei answered softly, and then pulled Qiao Wan and lifted the curtain and walked out.

As soon as the two sisters got off the carriage, they were discovered by Qiao Ling, who was resting next to them, so they quickly greeted the pillar and asked, "Where are you going so late?" ”

"My stomach..."

Qiao Wan was about to explain, but was snatched away by Qiao Wei.

"The second sister eats too much at night, and now the weather is hot and she can't sleep, so I take her for a walk around..."

Qiao Ling nodded lightly: "It's quite stuffy in the carriage, haven't you gone far?" I'm afraid it's not safe at night, let Luo Yicheng follow? Or let Uncle Li send two people? ”

"No, we'll just walk around the neighborhood and be back soon."

"Okay then."

The riverbank will be relatively wet, Qiao Wei took Qiao Wan to the river, planning to find a 'feng shui treasure' that no one has to solve the abdominal pain.

When Qiao Wan found a place to squat, Qiao Wei stayed next to her sister to watch the wind.

After a while, suddenly the river breeze was gently blowing, Qiao Wei had no experience to stand downwind, and soon smelled a pungent smell.

Qiao Wei pinched her nose and was a little impatient: "How long is it?" ”

"Wait a while... Sister, do you want to wait farther? Qiao Wan was smart and clever, she had guessed what was going on from her voice and tone just now.

"Alright, I'll stay away a little..."

After Qiao Wei finished speaking, she lifted the hem and continued to move downstream, walking dozens of steps before the smell was gone.

While she was waiting, her stomach also growled twice, so Xueqiaowan found a reed, and her heart came to her.

Qiao Wei had just squatted down here, and there was a heavy footstep in her ears, and she immediately heard that it was not Qiao Wan, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound.

"What are you looking for me to do so late?"

"Why ask knowingly? Give me a good word. ”

"But I'm the captain of General Bridge's bodyguard..."

"Loyalty is valuable, Qiao Rui is dead, your current loyalty is not worth mentioning, it is better to plan for yourself earlier, General Li hesitated, could it be that he also coveted those two beauties?"

"General Zhang can't talk nonsense, I, Li Tun, have self-knowledge, and no one will learn from Qin Yilu..."

"Haha, I thought you were pedantic, but in fact you are very sober, do you think that you can really protect the mother and daughter of the Qiao family by relying on those two hundred soldiers?

When we arrive at Liu Xun's territory, who the daughter of the Qiao family marries in the end, it is really not up to the Qiao family to call the shots, and the beauties in troubled times are all miserable..."

Qiao Wei heard Li Tun talking to outsiders, her eyes widened in the dark, shocked that someone was beating her idea.

"Liu Taishou is a minister in the same hall as General Qiao, he shouldn't..."

"Under the fence, Liu Zitai certainly agrees with the feelings of his bureaucrats, but what about the fierce generals and heroes of Lujiang County under his command? When we arrived in Anhui County, we ate and lived in other people's homes, and we still don't want to bow our heads? ”

"But General Zhang said that the man... His reputation seems to be a little bad... General Bridge is a general after all..."

"What's the big deal about the death of two wives? Brother Cai is Liu Zitai's brother-in-law, if it weren't for me and him, the daughter of the Qiao family wouldn't be able to be a wife, so let's enjoy it secretly..."

"Blessed... I've heard that he was a prostrate, and that the cause of death of his two wives was strange..."

"Don't listen to outsiders' random arrangement, it's all a fictitious thing, now there are tens of thousands of people going to Lujiang, there are some things you don't want to do, and there are many people who are willing to go.

Now that His Majesty has died, even Yuan Yin has to bow to Liu Taishou, who are you so arrogant to see? If it weren't for Brother Cai's name to ask for the daughter of the Qiao family, would it be your turn to confess? I really don't know the times. ”

"But the two young ladies are still in the filial piety period..."

"Your Majesty has passed away, who will you show the etiquette and law? And the Qiaorui grave is not in Huainan, and they don't need to keep it for three years, now give me a word, okay or not? ”

"I have one condition, if General Zhang agrees, I will persuade Madame."

"Tell me about it."

"In troubled times, there is no power without soldiers, and when the young lady gets married, she needs to allocate me two thousand parts."

"Huh? I really didn't see that General Li was a little ambitious, and I thought Brother Cai would persuade Liu Taishou. ”

"General, don't get me wrong, Madame hopes that Gongzi will become a talent, and when Gongzi becomes an adult in the future, these parts will be his..."

"Hahaha, I've seen the son of the Qiao family, he is not that material at all, Brother Li wants to be a soldier himself, why hide it?"

Qiao Wei was pale when she heard this, she didn't expect that she and her sister would actually become Li Tun's incoming things, is there really loyalty in this world?
