The Qiao family, who was rejected, Yan Lin did not continue to entangle with Zhou Yu, he had already gotten the answer he thought of. Qiao Xuan, the head of the Qiao family, sat on the upper hand, Yan Lin stood respectfully on the lower hand, and next to him sat a middle-aged man dressed in military uniform, he was Qiao Yi, the commander of the Fifth Praetorian Guard Legion of the Imperial Praetorian Guard, no one knew when she appeared in Jingzhou City. The position of the Fifth Praetorian Guard is very important now, and they are fully capable of deciding the life and death of this war.

"Did he really say that?" Qiao Xuan's face was a little solemn, and Qiao Xuan, who was full of silver hair and beard, did not look old-fashioned at all, but looked extremely shrewd. After listening to Yan Lin's report, Qiao Xuan couldn't help but have the slightest anger on his face, but was full of smiles. Yan Lin's smile was just the opposite of the resolute expression on Qiao Yi's face, which made Qiao Yi, who was sitting on the side, even more angry.

Qiao Yi didn't dare to show his anger, but instead tapped his fingers on the seat, trying to slow down his tone and let his anger show, "Father, since he is so unwilling to cooperate? What should we do? Will my soldiers come out or not? How should we choose what to do in Yangzhou?"

"If he doesn't cooperate, let him cooperate with us. Yan Lin, you go down and prepare, we will now go to visit the Governor of Zhou. Yi'er, transfer the strength of a division to march to Jingzhou City. A gleam flashed in Qiao Xuan's eyes, if Zhou Yu agreed to his Qiao family's request as soon as he opened his mouth, then it was Qiao Xuan who hesitated now. His two baby daughters can never marry into the Zhang family, and both of them are interested in Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu is indeed the best son-in-law of the Qiao family.

In their opinion, Liu Fan should be the best son-in-law. It's a pity that Liu Fan's identity is prominent. Even if the Fifth Legion is married as a dowry for the two of them. It can't change the situation of the two of them in the slightest. Several of Liu Fan's wives are all prominent people, and when Qiao Xuan was still at the core of Liu Fan's army, Zhou Yu happened to appear at this critical moment.

Qiao Xuan was able to sit in the position of a Jingzhou assassin for decades as an outsider, not only because Qiao Yi served in the Praetorian Guard Legion, but more importantly, he had a mind to judge the situation. Zhou Yu was able to appear under Jingzhou City with soldiers and horses, and Qiao Xuan had already concluded in his heart that Zhou Yu was definitely the most Haode son-in-law of their Qiao family, just because Zhou Yu's strategic mind was by no means comparable to ordinary people. Zhou Yu is definitely the core of Liu Fan's team.

So there is a back story, he Qiao Xuan is also gambling, gambling with the lives of his two baby daughters, of course, this is also a helpless move, Zhang Rang's forced marriage is in Jingzhou City. Qiao Yi looked at his father with some puzzlement, he didn't know what his father was thinking, since the other party had already rejected the proposal, why did he come to the door?

"Father, is this a little wrong? Since Zhou Yu has already rejected our kindness, there is no need for us to marry Xiaoyun and Xiaoyu to him. With his army scarce. As long as we march the Fifth Praetorian Guard Regiment to Jianye City, we will solve the crisis of the Liu family's army. We will naturally get the status we deserve. ”

"Yi'er, some things are not as simple as they seem. Although you are familiar with the art of war, you don't know much about human affairs. Qiao Xuan looked at his son with some care, Qiao Yi is also a genius, their Qiao family is only carried forward in his hands Qiao Xuan, and Qiao Yi can already be qualified for the position of army commander at such an age, which is enough for his Qiao family to gain a foothold in the troubled times, but if the family wants to carry forward, these are far from enough.

Qiao Yi showed a puzzled expression, Qiao Xuan's fingers tapped on the chair and said lightly: "I once looked at the archives that Emperor Jing sorted out for Liu Fan, and there are two kinds of people under him, one is the subordinates who appeared out of thin air, among these people, Jing Ke, Li Jing and Guo Jia and others are representatives, and the other is a type of people from the Tianlong Empire represented by the Pingxi Wang family, the Pingdong Wang family and Zhu Mingyu. ”

"Those subordinates who came out of thin air are all strong, and they are proficient in the art of war and strategy, and more importantly, they are young, all of them are no more than twenty years old. Although Zhu Mingyu and others are also his cronies, in comparison, Liu Fan's absolute henchmen are still these subordinates. Only these subordinates can really enter the core power area of Zuihou, and Zhou Yu is just one of them!Yan Lin, what do you think of Zhou Yu's talent?"

"Talent is more than 100 times better than me!" Yan Lin just gave a simple one-sentence evaluation, which really shocked Qiao Yi's heart, the reason why Yan Lin was able to enter their Qiao family as a Confucian student, his talent was naturally recognized. He admitted that Zhou Yu was a genius, but he didn't expect Yan Lin to give him such a high evaluation. Qiao Yi carefully explored Zhou Yu's tactics in his heart, and thought that if he was in Zhou Yu's position, he would definitely not be able to play such a tactic.

"Let's go, let's visit this Zhou Yu Zhou Metropolitan Governor. As long as he can be tied to the chariot of our Qiao family, our Qiao family is not in the family of the small family. Qiao Xuan stood up, and he also had an ambition in his heart, that is, to restore the glory of the Qiao family thousands of years ago and become a great family again.

In the backyard of Qiao's house, Qiao Yun and Qiao Yu sat bored in front of the window, looking at the clear sky outside the window, but there was always a haze in their hearts. The clouds floating in the sky seemed to see the thoughts of the two of them, and the clouds that were usually hiding all ran out and appeared in the air in a human form.

"Miss, miss, I inquired. While the two sisters were still thinking nonsense, the maid who had been sent out finally trotted all the way back.

"Miss, I inquired. Zhou Yu and Zhou Dadu Governor have not yet married, two young ladies, I also saw Mr. Yan enter the Dadu Governor's Mansion, but I heard the little guy in the front yard say that the Dadu Governor didn't seem to agree to the conditions of our Qiao family, and I heard Xiao Er mean that it seems that he refused to marry the two young ladies. ”

When the two heard the maid's words, the original joy disappeared without a trace, and they sat on the chair decadently, complaining about Zhou Yu in their hearts. The maid seemed to have expected this situation a long time ago, walked to the two of them with a smile, and whispered to the two: "Just now Jiang Ning sent back the news that the Metropolitan Governor also likes the two young ladies, but he doesn't want to use the young lady as a bargaining chip for political transactions, he said that if the Metropolitan Governor returns to Jingzhou City one day, and the two young ladies have not yet left the cabinet, they will come to the door to ask for marriage." ”

"Sister, what does he mean by this? What do you mean by returning to Jingzhou City again?" Qiao Yu looked at his sister with a puzzled expression, different from her sister's personality, Qiao Yu's personality is more innocent and romantic, full of the agility of the youngest daughter, while the eldest sister Qiao Yun is mature and steady.

"I guess he's going to give up Jingzhou City. The geographical location of Jingzhou City is too important, it is impossible for Zhang Rang not to save it, and he is an outsider, he has no intention of defending Jingzhou City at all, he wants to use Jingzhou City as a bait to mobilize the Praetorian Guards who are besieging Jianye City, and the legion in the hands of the eldest brother is probably his primary target. Qiao Yun looked at the sky with a deep face, she couldn't read the man, but she knew that as long as what he wanted to do was not unsuccessful, how long would it take to capture Jingzhou City again, a year, two years, maybe five years, or ten or twenty years longer, no one could guarantee them.

"Don't worry, the two young ladies don't have to worry, Master Qiao has already visited the Metropolitan Governor in person, and I believe it won't be long before the information comes back. The maid looked at the two of them with a happy face and said, "Jiang Ning said, most of their governors said that in two years, he Zhou Yu will still bring the army back." ”

"Jiang Ning also said something to you, right?" Qiao Yun smiled and looked at his personal maid Fluttershy, who turned red at what Qiao Yun said, lowered her head and didn't speak, just gestured on her toes on the ground. Jiang Ning went to fight as a soldier to help Fluttershy get out of slavery, and now he has become Gan Ning's disciple and lieutenant general, learning martial arts with Gan Ning's side and Zhou Yu's art of war.

"That General Gan Ninggan is not simple, he will definitely be a one-man general in the future, and Xiao Ning's future prospects are also unlimited. Qiao Yun smiled as she looked at Fluttershy, whose face was red like a ripe apple. (To be continued.) )
