Chapter 19: Asking for a Wife
Because of the uproar in the army about Sun Quan's poisoning, Qiao's family was not allowed to leave their tent at all as witnesses, and they were questioned at any time.
But in fact, I have been in the barracks for several days, and no one has come to ask questions, but I have eaten and drunk well, saying that as long as I take the soldiers with me, I can still walk around without leaving the scope of Sun Quan's camp.
Even with such privileges, Qiao Wei didn't dare to leave her tent, she didn't want to meet Sun Ce, a catastrophe star, for fear of accidentally causing some trouble.
In order to prevent Qiao Ying and Zhou Yu from bumping into each other, Qiao Wei repeatedly told Xiao Qiao not to leave his tent.
Qiao Ying didn't know why, and looked at her sister with clear eyes, with great doubts.
"This barracks is full of foreign men, and the reputation of women is not very good." Qiao Wei thought about it and wanted to use this reason to prevaricate the past, "And now that our identities are embarrassing, the more low-key the better." "It's not easy to get into trouble.
After hearing this, Qiao Ying became even more puzzled, "But yesterday evening, I clearly saw many women walking in the barracks. ”
Qiao Wei was speechless for a while, but she didn't panic in the slightest, and asked rhetorically, "Then are they dressed as girls or women?" ”
Qiao Ying recalled very seriously, "It's a woman's dress. ”
"That's it." Qiao Wei explained solemnly, "Those should be the family members of the generals, so these men are not foreign men to them, but you are still a maid in the boudoir, how can you walk around like them?"
What's more, you and I are in the barracks for the first time, and this place is solemn, no more than when we were in Anhui City. You and I don't know the rules here, and if we don't know about violating military rules, no one can protect our family. ”
As soon as she said this, Qiao Ying understood, and her admiration for Qiao Wei went to the next level, "Sister is so powerful, she knows everything, I will definitely not leave the camp." ”
It's not that he knows everything, it's just that Da Qiao knows a little, and he was used by Qiao Wei to fool Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying took out a volume of medical skills to study, Qiao Wei still admired Qiao Ying's perseverance, I don't know how many times I read a medical book, I still can't put it down like this, I don't forget to bring it with me anywhere.
However, this time she brought "Treatise on Typhoid Fever", which was written by Zhang Zhongjing, a physician in the Han Dynasty, and summarized a lot of prescriptions for cases, but it was lost after the Western Jin Dynasty. The copy in Qiao Ying's hand was also given to her when a doctor passed by Anhui City and saw that Qiao Ying liked it very much.
Qiao Wei didn't know how to spend this idle time, and he also planned to take a medical book and read it casually.
Suddenly, Qiao Ying didn't know what she remembered, and frowned slightly, "No, sister, I clearly saw Liu Zhu yesterday, didn't she kiss Huang Qingding, why is she here, and she is dressed as a woman?" ”
Liu Zhu? A trace of doubt flashed in Da Qiao's eyes, but he quickly understood.
Sun Ce occupied the land of Lujiang, and Liu Xun's family and Yuan Shu's family who defected to Liu Xun back then would fall into Sun Ce's hands. In these troubled times, the family members of the defeated side will become the spoils of war for the victorious side.
And the whereabouts of these trophies, part of them will become the concubines of the generals in the army, of course, this is a relatively high status or appearance of women can only obtain the "honor", they will have a special camp to settle.
However, with Liu Zhu's background and appearance, I think it should be the concubine of which general.
Qiao Wei was afraid that Qiao Ying would not be able to accept it, so he used very euphemistic language to explain Liu Zhu's situation, and Qiao Ying couldn't help but feel sad for Liu Zhu after listening to it.
In fact, Liu Zhu's place is not the worst. Most of the women who were taken captive during the war were not in the military camp, and became objects for ordinary soldiers to vent their needs and emotions.
These women had no fixed affiliation, and the disparity between the number of military concubines and the number of soldiers was so great that they even had to wait for a dozen soldiers in the same place one night. There are even some soldiers who are heavier and often cause deaths.
But with such a fact, Qiao Wei couldn't bear to tell Qiao Ying.
Qiao Ying didn't think much about it, and after answering the doubts in her heart, she quickly devoted herself to the medical book. It's just that I haven't read a book and haven't finished reading it, when I hear a lot of movement outside the tent, and some soldiers who know about it shouting outside, "It's Wu Hou and General Zhou who are back." ”
Huang Zu sent his eldest son Huang Jie to lead 5,000 sailors to prepare to assist Liu Xun in recapturing the Lujiang River, but Sun Quan found out the military situation in advance, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took 3,000 soldiers and horses to ambush halfway, killing most of the Huang family's sailors. When Liu Xun heard the news, he didn't dare to continue the march, so he turned around and went north to Cao Cao.
The first thing Sun Ce did when he came back was to visit his younger brother Sun Quan, and Sun Quan heard the sound outside and knew that it was his brother who triumphed, and he also went out of the tent to prepare to greet him, but the two bumped into each other on the way.
Sun Ce pulled Sun Quan to look at it repeatedly, "Your face is good, it should be fine!" ”
"Brother don't worry, it's already good, and I want to introduce someone to Brother, I don't know if Brother is interested in meeting him."
"Who is it?"
"Runan Li Shu Li Wenliang."
Li Shu was not born in Lujiang County, but he was originally from Shuxian County, Lujiang, but he was also from Zhou Yu, but his ancestors were divided into branches, and they were not in the five suits.
Li Shu moved to Lujiang, he was sparse by nature, liked to make friends with people, and had many contacts with the local children of the family in Lujiang.
When he met Sun Quan, the two hit it off. Sun Quan needed Li Shu to check and balance the Lujiang family, and Li Shu also needed to rely on the Sun family to improve his reputation among the family.
Under the persuasion of Li Shu, many people in Lujiang came to join Sun Jiajun, and Sun Ce was all handed over to Sima Chen Wu of other departments to be under control. Chen Wu was a native of Songzi County, Lujiang, and soon got along with these soldiers from Lujiang.
And Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan, his face was full of relief, and pointed to the generals on the long side, "These people are all recruited by you for me, and they will also become your loyal subordinates in the future." ”
Sun Quan shook his head, "Brother raised me, these people didn't come because of me, I don't have such prestige and ability, they all came when they heard about Brother A's reputation." ”
Sun Ce saw that he had become more and more calm and humble over the years, and he was a little more happy in his heart, "You should be the first to repel Huang Zu's battle, I don't know what to give you after thinking about it." But if you tell yourself, what reward do you want? ”
When Sun Quan heard this, he suddenly gave Sun Ce a big gift, "Brother, I do have something I want my brother to fulfill." I fell in love with Da Qiao, the eldest daughter of the Qiao family in Wancheng, at first sight, and wanted to ask to marry her! ”
Sun Ce's face froze.
