Jianye City, the current economic, cultural and military center of Jiangdong, is also the capital of Jiangdong. Under the management of the family, it has become as prosperous as a first-tier city. Even the current Shouchun in Yangzhou is slightly inferior to Jianye.
Among the Qiao Mansions in Jianye, Qiao Xuan was originally from Lujiang Wancheng, and the Qiao family also had a great foundation in Wancheng. Because Qiao Xuan is a contemporary Confucian, the Qiao family was very popular in Wancheng. Sun Ce attacked Wancheng to take After leaving Wancheng, the only family that was not affected was the Qiao family.
Because the Qiao family was considered family friends with Sun Jian before that, that's why Qiao Xuan made a marriage contract between his two daughters and Sun Jian's sons Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
But things backfired. On the second day of the wedding night after the eldest daughter was married, Sun Ce led Jiangdong soldiers and horses to march, but Lujiang Wancheng was attacked by Lu Bu's army again. God has been hurt for a long time. Sun Ce didn't know whether to compensate the Qiao family or why, he moved the entire Qiao family to Jianye City.
"Master, master!" The butler of Qiao's family quickly ran towards the study in Qiao's mansion. "En?" Qiao Xuan was practicing his calligraphy and painting in the study room, and a landscape painting was about to take shape in Qiao Xuan's hands soon, but because of this sudden cry, his pen and ink slipped In this way, a good landscape painting was stained with excess ink, and two large stains ruined the drawing paper.
Immediately, a sullen expression appeared on Qiao Xuan's face, "How can you be in a hurry." Qiao Xuan put down the paintbrush in his hand and shouted in a heavy voice to the butler of the Qiao family outside the door.
"Master's redemption, master's redemption!" The butler over there saw that his master was angry, and hurriedly bowed to hope that his master would make redemption.
"Master is not a little flustered, but he has something important to report to Master!" The butler next to him explained while bowing to Qiao Xuan.
"Important matter?" Qiao Xuan became puzzled, since their Qiao family moved to Jianye City, how could there be any important matters, as there were no acquaintances. There is also less walking around, Qiao Xuan naturally has a family business to maintain at home, but basically Qiao Xuan will not care too much about these things.
"Yes. Yes, Zhang Zhao. Master Zhang is here!" the butler said to Qiao Xuan panting.
"Zhang Zhao? What is he doing here?" Qiao Xuan thought for a while and frowned. He was really not familiar with this Zhang Zhao, and he was a little disgusted with Zhang Zhao and even Qiao Xuan, because this person was a bit mercenary. Although he is talented, he is too smooth, but that is someone else's business. Qiao Xuan is talented, but he is still unwilling to enter an official career. So it has nothing to do with him, this Zhang Zhao was appointed as the chief envoy in the hands of Sun Ce, and he was also a general of the auxiliary army. It can be said that he has a high official position in Sun Ce's army.
If Zhou Yu is the one who leads the troops to fight on the front line, then Zhang Zhao is the one who leads the troops in the rear. Zhang Zhao coordinates the mobilization of materials for the entire Jiangdong. It can be said that the major events in Jianye are also controlled by Zhang Zhao. in hand.
Why did such an important minister in Sun Ce's hands come to visit him, Qiao Xuan? He, Qiao Xuan, and Zhang Zhao are completely incompatible. If Da Qiao is still alive, then Qiao Xuan can still have some contact with Zhang Zhao. After all, Qiao Xuan can be regarded as Sun Ce's father-in-law, but the eldest daughter is dead, so how valuable is the identity of this father-in-law.
"Master. Master, Mr. Zhang Zhaozhang has brought a lot of gifts!" The butler explained to Qiao Xuan.
"Gift?" Qiao Xuan was even more puzzled. If it was some scholars who came to bring gifts, then Qiao Xuan could still understand that it was either to study or ask for advice.
But you, Zhang Zhao, brought gifts, what is the situation? Ask for advice? Although he, Qiao Xuan, was a great Confucian, he didn't have the ability to teach him Zhang Zhao. It could even be said that Zhang Zhao's cultural attainments were even higher than Qiao Xuan's.
If you don't understand it, you don't understand it, but etiquette cannot be lost. So Qiao Xuan asked the housekeeper to bring Zhang Zhao into the mansion. "Take Master Zhang to the main hall, don't neglect. I'll be there soon!" Qiao Xuan said to his butler.
"Yes!" The butler nodded, responding to Zhang Zhao's visit. The master didn't feel anything, but he was very excited to be a servant. Who doesn't know the name of Mr. Zhang Zhaozhang? In Jianye, even Mr. Wuhou Sun Ce's reputation is not as loud as this Mr. Zhang Zhao. Because the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, Zhang Zhao is equivalent to the person in charge of the rear area.
When Zhang Zhao arrived at their Qiao's mansion, the housekeeper would be a little bit more proud when he went out in the future. He told them that our Qiao family is also a big family, and that he would even bring Mr. Zhang Zhao to visit our mansion. How proud it is to say it.
Just as the butler was about to leave, Qiao Xuan stopped him again, "Slow down!"
"What's the matter, master? Don't worry, master, I will definitely take good care of Mr. Zhang Zhao!" The housekeeper said to Qiao Xuan. He thought Qiao Xuan was afraid that he would neglect Zhang Zhao.
"It's not for this reason, forget it, I'd better go to greet him in person!" Qiao Xuan shook his head, no matter what, this Zhang Zhao is Jiangdong's ambassador, and he can be regarded as a person under one person and above ten thousand people. If there is no intersection, it’s okay, if there is an intersection, then naturally Qiao Xuan has lost his etiquette. When Zhang Zhao came to visit, he, Qiao Xuan, couldn’t let a servant go to greet him no matter what, so Qiao Xuan thought about it: “Come with the old man.” Go ahead!"
Qiao Xuan said to the housekeeper, the clothes Qiao Xuan was wearing were still casual, but there was no other way, you can't make Zhang Zhaojiu wait.
Saying this, the two master and servant went towards the front hall.
Zhang Zhao is waiting for the news in the front hall. Although Qiao Xuan is a great Confucian in the world, Zhang Zhao doesn't take the real one seriously, just like Mr. Shui Jing in Jingzhou. Although everyone knows Mr. Shui Jing Sima Wei, but how many officials are there to visit? Lord Pang De is so famous because he founded the Lumen Academy. If there was no Lumen Academy, it would be impossible for Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to be so afraid.
The reason why Zhang Zhao came here in person was because someone asked him to come, and this person's status was not low.
"Master Zhang Zhaozhang!" Qiao Xuan saw that the middle-aged man pacing in the front hall was Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu, an important minister in Sun Ce's army, Zhang Zhao was from Pengcheng, Xuzhou.
This person came to Jiangdong not only because he took refuge, but also because he offended Tao Qian, Tao Gongzu, the governor of Xuzhou at the time. Tao Qian came to invite Zhang Zhao into his official career. But this Zhang Zhao didn't give Tao Qian face, so Tao Qian took him to Dayu. If it wasn't for the help of his friends, Tao Qian would have killed him long ago.
It is precisely because of this. So after Zhang Zhao arrived in Jiangdong, he was no longer as straightforward as before, but became more tactful. This is why Qiao Xuan didn't like it.
But whether you like it or not, since people are here, they naturally need warm hospitality.
"Mr. Qiao!" Seeing Qiao Xuan coming out to greet him in person, Zhang Zhao also nodded and stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face. If you are like Qiao Xuan, Zhang Zhao will reciprocate and call Qiao Xuan Mr. Qiao.
"My lord, Zhang Zhao, has a lot of things to do every day. I don't know why I put down my official duties and came to the mansion for my parents in Jiangdong. If this delays the important affairs of Marquis Wu, Qiao Xuan will be guilty!" Qiao Xuan said to Zhang Zhao with a smile .
"Where is it, where is Mr. Qiao, Zhao came to visit Mr. Qiao in Mr. Qiao's mansion, even if he is busy, he still has to spare time. Mr. Qiao is a great scholar in Jiangdong and is admired by thousands of people."
The two talked politely, and finally got to the point.
"I don't know why Mr. Zhang Zhao came to my mansion!" Qiao Xuan asked Zhang Zhao. Naturally, a servant and maidservant brought him the prepared tea. Qiao Xuan made a request. Character. The two picked up the tea.
After Qiao Xuan asked Zhang Zhao, he put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, Zhao's visit this time was entrusted by the lord and the old lady!" Zhang Zhao answered Qiao Xuan's question.
"Wu Hou? And the old lady?" Qiao Xuan also put down the tea and became confused. "Did Wu Hou come here for Yu'er?" The relationship between Wu Hou and the old lady and Qiao Xuan was just that of in-laws, since This Zhang Zhao came under the guidance of Wu Hou and the old lady. That is to say, this is for the eldest daughter Qiao Yu.
Qiao Xuan's eyes dimmed when he said that the eldest daughter couldn't help it, because Qiao Yu was already dead, and Qiao Yu died of martyrdom after the city of Anhui in Lujiang was destroyed a few days after marrying Sun Ce.
"What does Marquis Wu want to say here?" Qiao Xuan felt a little uncomfortable, because Qiao Yu was his eldest daughter and Sun Ce's official wife. Sun Ce sent Zhang Zhaolai, so he wanted to marry a wife again
"Is it the He family's daughter who can fall into Wu Hou's eyes?" Qiao Xuan couldn't help but sneer in his tone after thinking about it. "If Marquis Wu likes it, there's no need to discuss it with the old man. Just return those gifts." Zhang Zhao came here with gifts.
"The daughter of the He family?" Zhang Zhao looked at Qiao Xuan suspiciously, but after hearing what Qiao Xuan said, Qiao Yu immediately understood that Zhang Zhao is a fine person. How could he not know, the old man Qiao was angry. Because after all, Qiao Yu died just now, and if the lord Sun Ce had just died, he would have continued. Naturally, it would make old man Joe uncomfortable.
Knowing the reason, it will be easy to handle. "Haha, haha!" Zhang Zhao suddenly laughed.
"Master Zhang Zhaozhang, what's so funny? Go back and tell Marquis Wu that the fate of this in-law is over. Take these gifts back!" Qiao Xuan said coldly to Zhang Zhao, "Wu Hui sees off the guests!"
"Yes!" The housekeeper nodded and said to Zhang Zhao, "Master Zhang, please!"
"Mr. Qiao, Mr. Qiao, everyone says Mr. Qiao is upright. Zhang Zhao didn't think so at first, but now it seems Mr. Qiao is just like that!" Zhang Zhao said to Mr. Qiao with a smile.
"Mr. Qiao misunderstood Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao's visit this time has absolutely no intention of humiliating the mistress!" Zhang Zhao explained to Qiao Xuan, "My lord and the old lady didn't ask Zhang Zhao to come and tell Mr. Qiao about the reunion!"
"Then why did you come, Zhang Zhao?" Qiao Xuan asked suspiciously.
"Zhang Zhao came here this time because of Mr. Qiao's second lady, Miss Qiao!" Zhang Zhao said to Qiao Xuan.
"For Xiao Qiao?" Qiao Xuan didn't understand why it was for Xiao Qiao.
"What! Did Mr. Qiao forget Miss Xiao Qiao's engagement?" Zhang Zhao reminded,
"Marriage contract?" Only then did Qiao Xuan remember that both of his daughters were betrothed to others. "Zhou Yu?" Da Qiao married Sun Jian's son Sun Ce because of the family relationship between the Qiao family and the Sun family, but Xiao Qiao couldn't continue marrying Sun Quan, the youngest son of the Sun family, so she changed her way and married Sun Ce Zhou Yu, his sworn brother.
Seeing that Zhang Zhao mentioned Zhou Yu again with a gift, is this here to propose marriage
"But Zhou Yu asked you to come?" Qiao Xuan asked. This week, Zhou Yu had a lot of face, and even asked Zhang Zhao to come forward to propose marriage. You must know that Zhou Yu is the governor, and Zhang Zhao's position is not low. The two can be regarded as the first in civil and military affairs, just like Kuai Yue and Cai Mao in Jingzhou.
"No, no!" Zhang Zhao shook his head beyond Qiao Xuan's expectation.
"Not Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin? Then who is it?"
"Mr. Qiao, it is true that Zhang Zhao came here to propose marriage for the sake of the governor, but this client is not the governor!" Zhang Zhao said to Qiao Xuan with a smile. The client was not Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu didn't know either. Zhang Zhao actually came to propose marriage. In other words, it was impossible for Zhou Yu to have the face to ask Zhang Zhao to propose marriage for him. The people who can get Zhang Zhao to leave are naturally the lord Sun Ce and the old lady Wu.
Sun Ce was also hiding it from Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu had been accompanying him and Sun Ce to fight the world. Because of the war, Zhou Yu's life-long events have not been settled. Daughter Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's, but because of Jiang Xia's layout, Zhou Yu missed that wedding.
Sun Ce was very upset, so he specially sent a letter to Jian Ye for his brother, asking the old lady to send Zhang Zhao to propose marriage.
"Isn't this Jiangxia in full swing? Can this Gongjin take the time to come back?" After Zhang Zhao said this, Qiao Xuan's heart became much more comfortable, and he realized that he was thinking too much. It's not that Sun Ce wants to marry other wives, but the marriage of this youngest daughter, Xiao Qiao. He even called out Zhou Yu's name in happiness. To show kindness.
The reason why Qiao Xuan asked such a question was because Zhou Yu did not hold the wedding as scheduled last time because of Jiang Xia's war.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, no matter how busy the Jiangxia war is, the governor will still find time to come and hold the wedding ceremony with your daughter!" Zhang Zhao said to Qiao Xuan.
"How can this be done!" Qiao Xuan hurriedly shook his head and said, "The world is still undecided, why should a family be! This Gongjin is so affectionate to the little girl, I don't know what to say!" These are Huo Qubing's words, but it's not wrong to put them on Zhou Yu's body, because like Huo Qubing, Zhou Yu is also a handsome young man, and he is a young man who has a seat.
"Mr. Qiao is not guilty. Zhang Zhao hasn't finished his words yet. After this battle, Jiang Xia can be flattened! The governor can take the time to arrange control and come to hold the wedding as scheduled!"
"What do you mean?" Qiao Xuan didn't understand.
Zhang Zhao wanted to explain. But when he saw the maidservant next to him, the servant stopped talking again.
Qiao Xuan naturally knew what was going on, waved his hand and said to the servants, "You all go down. You don't need to wait here! Master Zhang Zhao, please move to the study, please follow me!" Qiao Xuan was right in front lead the way.
Zhang Zhao also followed, and the two entered the study one after the other.
"Your Excellency Zhang Zhao can speak as much as you want. Although the study is small, it has no ear!" Qiao Xuan said to Zhang Zhao.
"Mr. Qiao, above the water in Jiangxia, it's like this, like this, like this!" Zhang Zhao told Qiao Xuan about the battle ahead in Jiangxia. Although Qiao Xuan didn't care about his official career, he understood the situation .
Hearing Zhang Zhao's explanation, Qiao Xuan's heart moved immediately, "So! After this battle, on the Yangtze River, Marquis Wu will no longer be invincible?"
"Hehe, of course, but Mr. Qiao missed a little point. After this battle, my lord will sit in the land of Jingchu and look at the Central Plains, so as to compete in the world!" Zhang Zhao said with a smile while stroking his beard. "And Mr. Qiao's father-in-law, who is the governor, will naturally rise. Isn't it easy for Mr. Qiao to establish an academy?"
"En?" Qiao Xuan's eyes shone with light. Although Qiao Xuan is a great Confucian, he also has his own desires, as long as people have their own desires, otherwise Qiao Xuan would not marry his two daughters separately. Besides Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, if Qiao Xuan didn't have sex, why didn't he marry his two daughters to Sun Jian's two sons at the same time, the eldest daughter to Sun Ce and the youngest daughter to Sun Quan!
Only in this way can he deepen the family friendship between the Qiao family and the Sun family. The reason why Qiao Xuan did not do this is because he can see that although Sun Quan is talented, his status is doomed to have no bright future in this life. .
Because Sun Quan has a very good elder brother beside him, as long as Sun Ce does not die, Sun Quan cannot have a chance. And Sun Ce is now in his prime, and it is the time for glory.
Sure enough, Sun Quan did not meet Qiao Xuan's expectations. Even if he can manage a county at the age of fourteen, that's it, with his eldest brother around. Whether it is avoiding suspicion or forbearance, Sun Quan is destined not to have much power, and he is destined to be a happy son in Jiangdong.
And Zhou Yu is different, Zhou Yu is talented, very talented, it can be said that Zhou Lang's talent is known to everyone in the world, and this is why he has the title of Jiang Dongmei Zhou Lang. The second is the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. Although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are not biological brothers, their relationship is more real than that of biological brothers. Moreover, they are sworn brothers, and their relationship is irreversible.
In Jiangdong, Zhou Yu is also one person under one person and above ten thousand people. In the future, with Sun Ce's victory in the world, all boats will naturally rise. It is precisely because of this that Qiao Xuan married his youngest daughter to Zhou Yu, so as to stabilize the status of his Qiao family.
Now Zhang Zhao told Qiao Xuan about Jiang Xia's situation, after this battle. Above the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong family dominates. If the Jiangdong Army occupies Jingzhou again, it can be regarded as one of the best princes in the world. With the natural danger of the Yangtze River and the wealth of Jingzhou, even Cao Cao in Xudu can hardly do anything about Jiangdong.
Qiao Xuan is a human being, so he naturally has his own aspirations. His aspirations are not to be an official, nor is he rich, but to write books and talk about it. It's easy, but everyone has their own ideas*. Qiao Xuan was just thinking that like Pang Degong of Jingzhou, he could truly be full of peaches and plums, and be able to write books and talk about it. Let everyone in the world know about Qiao Xuan.
And one of the prerequisites for becoming a character like Lord Pound is to build a huge academy.
Obviously relying on the ability of the Qiao family to do it at all, without a teacher. How could it be possible to establish a college without other great Confucians, even if he had money, even though he, Qiao Xuan, was also a great Confucian, but wanting to invite other great Confucians was not enough for his face.
The reason why Mr. Pang De was successful at the beginning was that in addition to the reputation of Da Pang and Xiao Pang, he also had the help of Sima Wei and other figures such as Feng Li. Even so, Mr. Pang De spent almost all of the Pang family's wealth , this will be successful.
Qiao Xuan needs financial support and the help of contacts, and the two sons-in-law are the key figures in it.
If the eldest daughter was still alive, then the eldest son-in-law Sun Ce would naturally help, but after the death of the eldest daughter, Qiao Xuan would die. Unexpectedly, he would have such an opportunity now.
As long as what Zhang Zhao said is true, after the Jiangxia War, the Yangtze River was taken down and Jingzhou was taken, then with the help of Zhou Yu, Qiao Xuan might not be able to establish a college! This academy is called Qiao Xue Mansion. Thinking of this, Qiao Xuan's old face made him happy to speak.
"Those gifts are the betrothal gifts sent by the old lady on behalf of the elders of the governor! They will be accepted by Mr. Qiao!" Zhang Zhao also knew Qiao Xuan's thoughts and said with a smile to Qiao Xuan. Zhou Yu's Zhou family had been wiped out. Theirs is not Lu Bujun, but those gentry from the former Lujiang Shucheng who have lost their way and don't want to live with Zhou Yu. Even get promoted and get rich.
But they killed the Zhou family, but they didn't get a reward from Lu Bu's army. Instead, they were also killed by Lu Bu's army.
It is precisely because the Zhou family is gone that it is difficult to find Zhou Yu's elders, so the old lady can only be Zhou Yu's elders herself.
"Where, where, the old lady is being polite! You are being polite!" Qiao Xuan was talking with Zhang Zhao with a smile on his face. They discussed the wedding in detail, such as the time of the engagement, who to invite, and so on. It was a lot of fun.
There was a lot of joy in the study, and in the backyard of Qiao's mansion, a flowery beauty was staring blankly at the flowers in front of her. These flowers were already extremely haggard, just like the people in front of her.
"Sister, how are you doing in Yangzhou?" The fairy-like figure looked at Hua'er and muttered to himself, "Hehe, I'm talking too much! You are naturally happy with his company, how could he It makes you sad!" The fairy-like person laughed at himself over there.
"Sister, you never robbed me since you were young, why did you rob my sister this time! Sister, do you know, I wish I could replace you!" voices of resentment rang out.
"And you, did you forget me because you have a sister? Don't you really know that there is someone waiting for you in Jiangdong? Maybe I'm being too sentimental. Hehe, hehe!" This fairy-like If you look closely at the character, you will find that this person looks very similar to a woman, that is, Qiao Yu, the second wife of Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, the king of Shu, the lord of Yangzhou.
That's right. This fairy-like person is Qiao Yu's younger sister, Miss Qiao from Jiangdong. That is the person Zhou Yu has always wanted to marry.
"Second Miss, Second Miss!" Just as this little Miss Qiao was pitying herself, making people feel very distressed, the voice of a maidservant came from outside.
"Xiangxiang?" Xiao Qiao's doubtful voice spread, and Xiao Qiao hurriedly hid the cloth in her hand. This cloth was what Liu Mang used to bandage their wounds after saving them.
"It's me, Second Miss!" The maid named Xiangxiang responded.
"Come in!" Xiao Qiao nodded and said to Xiangxiang outside.
"Second Miss, Second Miss, good news. Good news!" the Xiangxiang maidservant yelled at Xiao Qiao with a smile as soon as she came in.
"Good news? What good news?" Xiao Qiao didn't understand, and asked Xiangxiang suspiciously.
"Second miss, the governor is coming back!" Xiangxiang said to Xiao Qiao.
"Brother Gongjin?" Xiao Qiao's complexion also showed a hint of joy. Zhou Yu has always been a gentleman in Xiao Qiao's face, so getting along with Xiao Qiao is like a brother and sister. And Zhou Yu was protecting Xiao Qiao everywhere before.
At first, Xiao Qiao thought it was a feeling of liking, so Xiao Qiao yelled at Big Brother Zhou one by one at that time, but after meeting that bad guy, Xiao Qiao finally knew what liking and * meant. Thinking of what that bad guy did to himself. Xiao Qiao blushed involuntarily.
"Brother Gongjin is coming back after winning the battle?" Xiao Qiao also smiled slightly. She knew that Jiangdong was fighting Jingzhou, and it had been fighting for many years.
"Second Miss is not such good news!" The maid shook her head and said to Xiao Qiao.
"Oh? Is there any good news?" Xiao Qiao also asked suspiciously.
"That's right. Miss, it's not just that the governor is coming back, but also about your marriage, Miss Second!" This Xiangxiang looked at Xiao Qiao with a smile, who girl doesn't have a spring, Zhou Yu, a handsome man, then But there are countless women in the whole world, so many women are fascinated by Zhou Yu when they see Zhou Yu. They are young, capable and occupy high positions. Which girl would not like such a perfect man. This Xiangxiang also likes Zhou Yu.
"Marriage?" Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, she hadn't reacted yet.
"That's right. Second miss, the governor is coming back soon. I heard about it when I delivered tea to the master and the others. They said that the governor is going to marry you, second lady, after he comes back this time. Mr. Zhang Zhao gave the dowry to you." I brought it!" This Xiangxiang said to Xiao Qiao directly, and this Xiangxiang became more and more excited as she talked, it didn't look like Xiao Qiao was getting married, it was like he Xiangxiang was getting married.
"Marry me?" Xiao Qiao panicked, and said subconsciously, "No, no! I don't want to marry Brother Zhou."
"Second Miss, Second Miss, what's the matter with you?" Xiangxiang looked at her own Second Miss suspiciously and said, looking at Second Miss's silly look, is it because she is happy and silly? That's right, the governor is so handsome, and he is young and promising, and he still has a deep affection for the second lady. If there is someone who treats him like this, even if he dies, it is worth it. Now Xiangxiang is thinking that when the second lady gets married, she will bring her with her, and she is the second lady's dowry maid, so that she can see the governor every day. It's wonderful to think about it.
"Second Miss, you are so happy, and the master is also like this. I heard they said that as long as the enemy army in Yangzhou is taken down, they will come back and marry you, Miss! It is the old lady who handles it herself."
"Yangzhou enemy army?" Xiao Qiao couldn't help but increase her voice when she heard the word Yangzhou, "Xiangxiang, how could it be Yangzhou enemy army? Didn't our Jiangdong armistice with Yangzhou?"
"I don't know. This is what the master and the others said. They said that our Jiangdong soldiers and horses are now attacking the enemy army in Yangzhou together with Jingzhou soldiers and horses under the command of the governor."
"No, no!" Xiao Qiao shook her head violently, "How could it be, how could it be!" Xiao Qiao had never seen the Jingzhou soldiers and horses before, but Jiangdong soldiers and horses have not won the Jingzhou Army for so long, so you can know the combat effectiveness of the Jingzhou Army It's not bad, and now the two have joined forces to deal with Yangzhou.
"Big Brother Liu, Big Brother Liu!" Xiao Qiao suddenly had a wicked look in her heart, thinking of this, she suddenly rushed out of the room and wanted to run out of the mansion.
"Second Miss. Second Miss?" Xiangxiang was also stunned. She didn't understand why Miss was in such a lost state. But Xiangxiang still chased her out.
Xiao Qiao was chased back, but after returning, she became distraught.
"Xiangxiang, do you really want to marry Brother Zhou?" Xiao Qiao suddenly asked Xiangxiang.
"Why did you bring this up, Second Miss!" Xiangxiang next to her blushed suddenly, Zhou Yu is very good. Naturally, Xiangxiang also dreamed of marrying Zhou Yu, "The governor is so good, but I'm just a maidservant. I'm not worthy of the governor!" Xiangxiang only wanted to marry the second lady, and every time It is enough to see the governor every day.
"Worthy! Worthy, I will make you worthy!" Xiao Qiao's tone suddenly became firm.
"Ah?" Xiangxiang looked at her young lady completely incomprehensible, not knowing what happened to her young lady.
…
In the Yangzhou navy camp, Lu Xun had woken up a long time ago, and he was sitting in the room, thanks to the care of the girl from the hospital these days. This allowed Lu Xun to be safe and sound, and Lu Xun hadn't had time to thank him yet.
Without even asking her name, Lu Xun suddenly raised his hand and sniffed it. It was this hand that grabbed her. Lu Xun had been grabbing the girl's hand all night while talking in his sleep while he was in a coma.
"There is still a scent!" Lu Xun said involuntarily, and after he finished speaking, Lu Xun's face turned completely red, "Lu Xun, what are you thinking about, Lu Xun! Bah, bah, bah!" Lu Xun can be regarded as a gentleman, their Lu family My tutor is still very strict, from childhood to adulthood. Lu Xun grew up under the guidance of his grandfather Lu Kang.
What his grandfather taught Lu Xun was that he must be strict and upright, be a gentleman, and be willing to love the people, but Lu Kang didn't teach Lu Xun what is love. This is the age when Lu Xun is in love, so he will naturally miss girls.
This girl who took care of him made Lu Xun involuntarily fascinated, his mind was full of that white figure.
"Report, report, report!" Just as Lu Xun was still thinking about the girl, suddenly a messenger came outside.
"Report, report to the general, something is wrong, something is wrong! Enemy army. Enemy army is all enemy army!" The orderly stammered, this was not because the orderly had any physical problems. But be scared.
"Enemy?" Lu Xun froze for a moment.
"Boom boom boom!" The alarm sounded in the entire Lujiang naval camp.
Lu Xun quickly let go of his longing for the girl in his mind, picked up the armor and shirt beside him, and ran towards the Lujiang water village while walking.
Arrived outside the water village. Lu Xun gasped as he looked at the surface of the Yangtze River outside.
The entire water surface of the Yangtze River is completely covered, densely packed with warships, the Yangzhou Navy only has 20 warships in total, and there are at least 200 ships outside, these enemies are simply hair-raising Hemp.
"You really think highly of me, Lu Xun!" Lu Xun looked at the enemies on the surface of the Yangtze River who were flying the flags of Jingzhou and Jiangdong Navy.
"General, did the Jiangdong navy and Jingzhou navy come out in full force?" the lieutenant next to him asked Lu Xun.
"It seems that the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army are determined to get rid of us!" Lu Xun said with a sneer to the lieutenant next to him. If it were a big boy next door, then Lu Xun is now a decisive and decisive general. His face is cold, and his heart is calm and calm.
"General, what should we do?" The lieutenant on the side was also in a hurry. There are at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses outside, all of them are enemies. Even if they stand there and kill you, it will take a long time to kill them.
"Send the order to open the gate of the water stronghold, and the whole army will get on the warships and prepare for the battle!" Lu Xun said to the lieutenant next to him.
"Fight? General, are you crazy?" The lieutenant at the side was frightened. Now the enemy is ten times stronger than him. Going out to fight now, isn't this like a sheep coming into the mouth of a tiger? There is still a glimmer of life in this water army camp. With the protection of the water army camp, he can persist for a while.
"We will die in the water army camp! There is still a chance to go out to fight!" Lu Xun explained to the lieutenant at the side. Now the Jiangdong navy and Jingzhou navy can be regarded as coming out in full force. Hundreds of warships are densely packed on the surface of the Yangtze River to tell the truth. Lu Xun also had no confidence in his heart, but he knew that he had to go out to fight. Once he hid in the navy camp, there would be no other possibility except death.
Water army camps are not cities on land. Because of the ferry, the water army camp is limited in size. The defense is also limited because they are all made of wood.
Now the water army camp of the Lujiang Navy can hold a maximum of 30,000 troops, and it can only resist 50,000 people.
If the navy warships are not mobilized for so long now, and the size of the enemy army outside is at least 100,000 people, if they swarmed up and bet him the water army camp, then wait for a long time to play the siege battle .
Not to mention that the Lujiang water army camp can only hold 30,000 defenders and can defend 50,000 soldiers. Even if it can use 30,000 soldiers to resist a 100,000 army, it still needs 30,000 soldiers. The entire navy camp is full of battles, but there are only more than 15,000 people. If they are blocked in the navy camp, they can only wait to be beaten passively. In the end, the navy camp is breached, and those new warships will have no one. spared.
Therefore, Lu Xun needs to let the warships under his command go out of the Lujiang Navy Dazhai. If you dare to attack the water army camp with all your strength, even if you can't beat it on the Yangtze River, Lu Xun can escape with a large army. At worst, you will abandon the Lujiang water army camp. He didn't believe that the coalition forces of the Jingzhou and Jiangdong navy dared to land in the Lujiang water village. The Yangzhou navy was bullied by the Jiangdong navy and the Jingzhou navy because of its small size, but it was superior to land battles. If the Yangzhou army really said that he was the second child, no one would dare to call himself the number one.
So as long as the entire fleet is protected, Lu Xun will be credited. These new warships cannot fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Hurry up!" Lu Xun yelled at the lieutenant next to him, "Do you have to wait to die!"
"Yes! General!" Lu Xun's angry roar made the lieutenant much more awake, and because of Lu Xun's calm look, he was more at ease. His own general was not afraid, so what did he worry about as a lieutenant.
He didn't know that on the surface Lu Xun was more than calm, but in reality Lu Xun was more nervous than anyone else. His palms were full of cold sweat.
"One hundred thousand army, one hundred thousand army. You really think highly of me, Lu Xun!" Lu Xun was about to smile wryly, looking at the flag unleashed by the huge fleet over there. There is Zhou on it, and this Zhou is naturally Zhou Yu, the governor of the Jiangdong Army. This person knew about this person's reputation when Lu Xun was still a student, Jiang Dongmei Zhou Lang, it can be said that Jiang Dong's achievements are basically due to Zhou Yu's credit, this person's talent is known everywhere.
There is also Sun Ce's banner over there, Jiangdong Xiaobawang, even the boss is here, but Lu Xun only has a deep anger when he sees Sun Ce's banner, because Sun Ce's attack on Lujiang caused their Lu family to be destroyed in the end, and his grandfather was Died at the hands of Sun Ce.
As for the Jingzhou navy, there is a banner of writing, which should be Wenpin. Lu Xun and Wenpin fought. Although he lost, it was because he was not familiar with the warships of the Yangzhou navy. Now they are familiar with it. These new ones are warships. If it is under the same conditions, Lu Xun is really no match for Wenpin.
Zhuge's flag is also there. This is the banner of the Jingzhou navy army division. Although Zhuge Liang has never fought against Lu Xun, it is not uncommon for Lu Xun to have heard of this man's reputation. The Jiangdong water army was completely blocked from Jiang Xia. Even with Zhou Yu's assistance, the Jiangdong water army still had no way of breaking through Jiang Xia's defense line. This shows Zhuge Liang's talent.
Thinking that he was about to fight against these individuals, Lu Xun couldn't help feeling a little bit of fear, took a deep breath, and suppressed his fear, "Come on, come on! The worst thing is to die!" Lu Xun is worthy of being young, Soon, he became fighting spirit from fear, if he lost, he would die! One hundred thousand beats ten thousand, and he would be honored if he lost. If he wins by luck, then he will really become famous.
"Report!" Just as Lu Xun was observing the surface of the Yangtze River over there, a messenger ran over.
"Report a letter from Wancheng, General Lu Xun!" A messenger knelt down and taught Lu Xun the letter in his arms.
"A letter from Wancheng? Military advisor Chen Gong?" The one who can send the letter from Wancheng is naturally Chen Gong. Now Lu Bu is attacking Yuzhou with troops and horses. Although he will come back after getting the news, it will take time. Now the entire Lujiang River is under the charge of military adviser Chen Gong.
After receiving the letter, Lu Xun was about to open it on the spot, but the orderly at the side shouted, "Report to the general, the military adviser said, you can't open it at this time!"
"It can't be dismantled? How can I believe it can't be dismantled?" Lu Xun asked suspiciously. Although he expressed doubts, the movement of this hand stopped.
"The military adviser said that the general should save this letter when he boards the warship to face the Jingzhou and Jiangdong coalition forces and can only open it when he is in a desperate situation! Otherwise, it will be useless." The messenger repeated the words left by the military adviser Chen Gong completely.
"Huh?" Lu Xun was confused by this messenger. What does it mean to only open it when you are in a desperate situation? Isn't this an intelligence and order letter
"Did the military adviser really say that?" Lu Xun asked again.
"Yes! Before leaving, the military master asked his subordinates to tell the general that they must be disassembled when they are in a desperate situation. It may save the general from fire and water." The messenger repeated what Chen Gong asked him to say.
"Okay, I got it!" Although Lu Xun didn't understand what kind of medicinal materials this Chen Gong sold in the gourd, but for the appreciation and admiration of Chen Gong's talent, Lu Xun gave up opening this letter and put his security in order. Put it close to your body.
"The general's battleship has been prepared, and we are waiting for the general to dispatch!" The deputy over there ran over to report.
"Okay! The Yangzhou navy will attack with me!" Lu Xun nodded, and followed his men to the flagship of the Yangzhou navy warship.
"Woo woo woo!" The sound of war drums sounded, and one after another Yangzhou navy warships slowly drove out of the Yangzhou navy camp.
