Houguo of Hefei

A young general, riding a horse and wielding a gun, is vigorous.

A middle-aged military general next to him praised with his palms.

"The major general's marksmanship is natural, and if the lord sees it, he will definitely praise it."

The boy is Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, although he is only seventeen years old, he is tall and strong, and he is not inferior to the physique of an adult.

When Sun Jian was courting Dong, he moved his family to Shu County, Lujiang County.

However, because Yuan Shu ordered Sun Jian to attack Lujiang County, Sun Jian moved his family to the Marquis of Hefei in advance.

The middle-aged military general was Sun Jian's general, Cheng Pu, who was ordered to guard the Marquis of Hefei.

Sun Ce hung up his spear, turned over from his horse, and asked proudly, "When my father was in Luoyang, he repelled Dong Zhuo's righteous son Lu Bu. Uncle Cheng thinks, how do I compare with Lu Bu? ”

Cheng Pu smiled: "Why does the young general want to be with Lu Bubi? ”

Sun Ce raised his head and looked at him with conviction: "Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and I am my father's eldest son, so naturally I have to compare with each other!" ”

Cheng Pu was stunned.

Then Lu Bu's age is not younger than Sun Jian, as soon as Sun Ce's words came out, didn't he regard Lu Bu as Sun Jian's son and nephew?

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is no problem, can't Sun Jian become Dong Zhuo's nephew?

Coughing lightly twice, Cheng Pu condensed and said, "The young general must not be self-conscious. Lu Bu was brave, and it was Lu Bu who was repelled by the lord and Guan Yu at the beginning. If you fight alone, the victory or defeat between the lord and Lu Bu is unknown. ”

Sun Ce said disdainfully: "How can Guan Yu compare with his father? If he has a chance one day, I will definitely go to Guan Yu and Lu Bu for advice! ”

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, not to mention that with Sun Jian, a brave and warlike father, Sun Ce's eyes have always been very high.

During the conversation, people reported the arrival of Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce suddenly couldn't care about Cheng Pu, and strode out to greet him: "Ah Yu, you are not in Shu County, why did you come to Hefei Houguo?" Could it be that Lu Kang wants to be angry with you? ”

Zhou Yu is the same age as Sun Ce, and he is also a beautiful boy at this time.

Seeing Sun Ce's inquiry, Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "Although Lu Jining is the Taishou of Lujiang, he can't control the Zhou family of Shu County. ”

When he said this, Zhou Yu was quite proud.

The Zhou family of Shu County is also a high-ranking family with a prominent status.

From Emperor Zhang's later years, Zhou Rong began to enter the political arena, to Emperor Huan's reign, Zhou Jing became a lieutenant, and also supported Emperor Ling to succeed him.

Zhou Jingzi's nephews are all in high positions, and the middle son Zhou Zhong is still serving as a big farmer in Chang'an.

Lu Kangzhi is in Wancheng, and he really can't control the Zhou family in Shu County!

Sun Ce held the back of his head with both hands and teased: "Could it be that Ayu, are you bored at home?" ”

Zhou Yu pretended to sigh: "My uncle was beaten everywhere in Yangzhou, and the foolish brother couldn't bear to be sad for his brother, so he took the risk to help, but he was teased by his brother, and he was unladylike when he met someone." ”

Sun Ce laughed: "Ah Yu, although I don't read much, I also know that when I meet people, I don't know that it comes from the Book of Poetry. ”

The original text is: There are women who are leaving, and they are screaming. The article is howling, and it is unladylike to meet people. ”

"It's about a woman who is married to a bad husband."

Zhou Yu's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly defended: "I'm a metaphor, don't you understand metaphors!" ”

Sun Ce waved his hand: "Understood!" Understand! Understand! Ah Yu, which woman have you fallen in love with lately? ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Brother, let's get down to business!" ”

"I got the news that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan supported Liu Ye, the king of Hejian, and proclaimed themselves emperor in Zhuocheng, and changed the year name to the first year of Jianwu."

Sun Ce was stunned: "Isn't there a son of heaven in Chang'an?" Why is there another son of heaven in Zhuocheng? Who will you listen to after that? ”

Zhou Yu said in a condensed voice: "The two emperors compete, normally speaking, whoever wins listens to whom." It's just that I don't know who General Yuan is listening to now. ”

Sun Ce smiled: "It turns out that you came to me to inquire about the news. But it's unfortunate that my father and Huang Zu didn't return from the battle, and you can't ask if you want to. ”

Zhou Yu is indeed here to inquire about the news.

Although the Zhou family is a high-ranking family, they are also the protégés of the Yuan family.

During the reign of Su Zong, Zhou Rong lifted the Ming Scripture and opened the Situ Yuan Anfu.

Yuan Shu wanted to rob Yangzhou, so naturally he did not forget Lujiang Zhou, Yuan's protégé.

So Yuan Shu sent people to find Zhou Jing's subordinate Zhou Shang, hoping that Zhou Shang could lead the scholars of Lujiang to be strong and dependent.

Originally, Zhou Shang was ready to respond, but because of the coexistence of the two emperors, Zhou did not know who Yuan Shu would support.

After all, Zhou Zhong is still in Chang'an, if Yuan Shu supports Liu Ye in Zhuocheng, then Zhou Zhong will be in danger.

Zhou Shang couldn't ask Yuan Shu directly, so he asked Zhou Yu to come to Hefei Houguo to find out the news of Kunzhong Sun Ce, and by the way, to find out Sun Jian's thoughts.

In troubled times, if you make the wrong choice, it is likely to bring disaster to the family.

The Zhou family has been a high-ranking family for a hundred years, so he naturally refuses to be caught on fire because of a momentary mistake.

After living in Hefei Houguo for three days, Zhou Yu met Sun Jian with an angry face.

"Yuan Shu Shaft!"

Sun Jian didn't see Zhou Yu present, and blurted out this insulting remark.

After glancing at Zhou Yu, he swallowed the rest of the words back.

Sun Jian glared at Sun Ce and blamed Sun Ce for not reminding him.

Zhou Yu hurriedly saluted and said, "On the order of my uncle, I came to visit my uncle." ”

"Uncle?" Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce suspiciously.

Sun Ce hurriedly explained: "When I was in Shu County, Ah Yu and I had already married Kunzhong. ”

Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief and reprimanded, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Sun Ce was a little aggrieved: "After my father returned to Yangzhou, he was either fighting or in the barracks, or he was sleeping, how could the child have a chance to be introduced." ”

Sun Jian just felt that he had swept his face, and he didn't really want to scold Sun Ce, so he looked at Zhou Yu: "Ah Yu came to find the general, what is the matter?" ”

Zhou Yu glanced left and right.

Sun Jian said: "They are all cronies, so you might as well speak out." ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Uncle can know that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan supported Liu Ye, the king of Hejian, and proclaimed himself emperor in Zhuocheng. ”

Sun Jian was surprised: "When did this happen?" ”

Zhou Yu said in a condensed voice: "The emperor was called at the beginning of June, and now more than half a month has passed. ”

Sun Jian frowned: "No wonder, General Yuan gave a strict order to the general, so that the general immediately gave up attacking Huangzu and returned to Shouchun." ”

"Uncle Ling wants to ask, which side of the Son of Heaven will General Yuan support?"

Zhou Yu nodded: "General Yuan wants to let his uncle come out, but my uncle doesn't know who General Yuan will support, so he asked his little nephew to find out the news." ”

Sun Jian said without thinking: "Don't worry about it, General Yuan will not support anyone." ”

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly understood what Sun Jian meant: "The little nephew understands, so he will return to Shu County to inform his uncle." ”

"Slow!" Sun Jian waved his hand and said: "When I was in Luoyang before, I heard Da Si Nong mention that Ah Yu was smart since he was a child and had quite an opinion about the current situation. ”

"Does Ah Yu have any thoughts about the current situation in Yangzhou?"

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Jian had the intention of taking the school examination, and thought carefully for a while and said: "Yangzhou has a complicated force, the county has a guard, the county has a county order, and there are strong and powerful Wu forts to defend themselves, and they are unwilling to obey each other's orders. ”

"There are even Shanyue people who are entrenched on one side and do not obey the decree."

"However, in the war in the Central Plains, there are also many wise men who have taken refuge in Yangzhou, if someone can connect the counties, form a good alliance with the famous and powerful clans, and then expel Yangzhou such as Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang and other troublemakers."

"You can also accomplish great things."

"Just." Zhou Yu observed Sun Jian's expression and said cautiously: "If Uncle follows General Yuan, it will be difficult to succeed. ”

Sun Jian was shocked in his heart, and his eyes when he looked at Zhou Yu were a little more surprised and appreciative: "Da Si Nong's nephew, his ambition and knowledge are really extraordinary. ”

"But now the general has to rely on General Yuan, listen to the tune, listen to the Xuan, all by Yuan Shu's will. Does Ah Yu have a way to break the game? ”

Zhou Yu didn't answer and asked: "I just listened to my uncle's words, and it seems that I have a lot of resentment towards General Yuan?" ”

Sun Jian snorted coldly: "Yuan Shuzhuzi, he was about to repel Huang Zu, but he actually sent someone to pass the order, saying that even if Huang Zu's head was about to be cut off, he had to withdraw his troops to Shouchun." ”

Sun Jian was depressed.

After defeating Dong Zhuo in Luoyang and gaining an advantage, Yuan Shu shouted to withdraw his troops and return to Yuzhou to fight Liu Chong.

When Nanyang was fighting with Liu Biao's generals, Yuan Shu shouted to withdraw his troops to fight Cao Cao.

Yingchuan and Cao Cao were fighting fiercely, and Yuan Shu shouted to withdraw his troops and go south to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou and Liu Miao were fighting fiercely, and Yuan Shu shouted to withdraw his troops to fight Huang Zu.

So much so that Sun Jian kept fighting, but it was difficult to capture the flag.

Every time, when he was halfway through the fight, he was forcibly recalled by Yuan Shu.

Sun Jian originally wanted to take the opportunity to seek development in Yangzhou, but Yuan Shu wanted to die and go north.

As a result, Yuan Shu was forced to flee to Huainan, and Sun Jian's plan to plan Yangzhou was also ruined.

Zhou Yu said: "Uncle is subject to General Yuan, he will come as soon as he calls, and he will leave as soon as he is called. ”

"However, throughout the ages, there are few generals on this battlefield who can win all battles."

"If you have no purpose, you will run around like a frightened bird, and you will not escape the hunter's arrows in the end."

"Uncle might as well send someone to shoot an arrow for himself secretly, and then recuperate in the Marquis of Hefei for three months to calm the brake."

Sun Jian squinted slightly: "After three months, what will happen?" ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Now that the two emperors are fighting, in three months, the general trend of the world will definitely change drastically." ”

"And the forces of Yangzhou, because my uncle turned from attack to defense, will definitely attack and kill each other."

"Uncle brakes with quiet, and the last one comes first, so that he can be surprised!"

"At that time, whether it is Zhou Xin, Zhou Ang, Liu Miao and others, they are all exhausted from the battle, how can they still resist the tiger and leopard soldiers after their uncle has recuperated?"

Sun Jian couldn't help but praise: "Although Ah Yu is young, he is quite proficient in this trick of scheming. ”

"Ben will be depressed, he wants to go hunting in the mountains, and he is attacked by enemies, and it is normal for him to be hit by an arrow."

"After all, General Ben has never liked to bring personal guards, and General Yuan also knows it."

"Ce'er, tomorrow I will test your archery skills for my father, don't miss it!"

Sun Ce waved his hand again and again: "This is not good, how can a child shoot his father with an arrow?" ”

Sun Jian chuckled: "Someone else is coming to shoot, Ce'er can rest assured?" ”

Sun Ce suddenly hesitated.

In case this archery shooter has selfish intentions, this pretending to be a trick will really be assassinated.

Sun Ce had no choice but to agree to Sun Jian's request.

Not a few days.

The news that Sun Jian was assassinated by assassins when he went out hunting in the mountains spread in Yangzhou.

Qua.

Liu Xuan, who got the news, was overjoyed: "Sun Jian's erection is light and unprepared, and he almost died at the hands of assassins, which is really painful." ”

Tai Shi Ci, who was temporarily under Liu Xuan's command, said: "Zhengli Gong, since Sun Jian is seriously injured, I should also prepare to return to Qingzhou." ”

Liu Miao groaned: "Ziyi is brave, why don't you stay in Yangzhou?" After Yangzhou is pacified, I will definitely take credit for Ziyi. ”

Tai Shici's bravery, Liu Miao has already seen it.

But because of Liu Beisheng's capture of Liu Dai, Liu Miao had a grudge against Liu Bei, and naturally didn't want Tai Shici to return to Qingzhou.

Tai Shici shook his head and rejected Liu Xuan's kindness: "Xie Zhengli's kindness, my family members are all in Qingzhou." This time he went south to buy a warship for Liu Qingzhou, but because Zhengli Gong was attacked by Yuan Shu, he stayed in Yangzhou. ”

"Now that Sun Jian is seriously injured, the rest of Yuan Shu's generals are all rabble, and Zhengli Gong is enough to deal with it."

Seeing Tai Shici insisting on leaving, Liu Miao's eyes gradually became gloomy.

After Tai Shici retreated, Liu Miao immediately summoned Zhang Ying and Fan Neng.

"Liu Bei captured my brother, this hatred is hard to get rid of."

"Tai Shi Ci wants to buy a warship in Wu County to enter Qingzhou, if Qingzhou has a warship, Liu Bei will be even more difficult to deal with."

"You two immediately send an order to the dockyard of Wu County, and no ship shall leave Wu County without an order."

"If Tai Shi Ci comes to see me, you will all excuse me from Qu'a."

"Liu Bei, you don't want to buy a boat in Yangzhou!"

In the name of Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, Tai Shici originally purchased fifty warships on credit in Wu County, but when he was about to leave Wu County, he was told that no ship was allowed to leave Wu County without Liu Xuan's order.

Tai Shici didn't think much about it at first, so he went to look for Liu Xuan, but was told that Liu Xuan was not there.

For several days, Liu Miao was hiding from Tai Shici.

Tai Shici finally sensed that something was wrong: "Liu Zhengli is deliberately avoiding me?" Is it because I refused to work in Yangzhou? ”

"Liu Zhengli is still holding a grudge against Liu Yuanjunsheng for capturing Liu Dai, but Liu Dai himself committed a crime and killed his colleagues, and Liu Yuanjun was sent to Zongzheng Mansion for conviction according to the secret edict, everything was done in accordance with the law, and there was no selfish grudge."

"Yuan Shu attacked Yangzhou, and Liu Yuanjun also allowed me to help in Yangzhou, how could Liu Zhengli's mind be so narrow-minded!"

The more Tai Shi Ci thought about it, the more angry he became.

When I was in Qingzhou before, I thought Liu Miao was a hero.

In addition, his mother was also born in the Donglai Liu family, and they are more or less related by blood.

As a result, Liu Miao hated Liu Bei at this time and did not allow the warships purchased on credit by the wealthy families of Wu County to go to Qingzhou.

Seeing that the warship could not leave Wu County, Tai Shici could only return to Qingzhou alone and tell Zheng Ping about Liu Xuan's seizure of the warship.

"Conspiracy, I have no shame to see the king."

Tai Shi Ci was indignant and slammed his fist on the table.

helped Liu Miao in Yangzhou, Liu Bei agreed without saying a word, and asked Tai Shici to do his best.

As a result, Liu Miao instead seized the warship purchased on credit in Qingzhou, which made Tai Shici feel very ashamed and ashamed to see Liu Bei.

"Brother Ziyi, this table is very expensive." Zheng Ping shook the feather fan lightly and reminded quietly.

Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Xianmou, are you still worrying about the table with me at this time?" Our warships, fifty warships, were seized! ”

"Brother Ziyi, don't worry!" Zheng Ping didn't panic at all: "If Liu Miao wants to seize Qingzhou's warship, he is bullying Qingzhou to be far away and can't control Wu County." ”

"Of course, although there is no navy in Qingzhou, there are pirates!"
