The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 42

Guo Jia and Lu Su and Liu Ziyang were all shocked, only I was as stable as Mount Tai, and said lightly; "Is the injury serious?" Le was very dissatisfied with my reaction, and stared at me and said; "I heard that I was hit by a poisonous arrow. The injury is serious." I sighed, Sun Lang, Sun Lang, I have a pity that you died before your ambition was fulfilled, God's will.I suddenly thought again, by the way, now is the time for Sun Quan to go back and reap the rewards.Guo Jia asked Le Jiu, "Sun Ce claims to have the courage to take advantage of it, and it is impossible for a man to march and fight. How could he be assassinated for no reason?" Le Jiu said, "I don't know too much. I don’t know what method they used to assassinate the disciples kept by Xu Gong.” Guo Jia said coldly; “I knew for a long time that Sun Ce was a brave and ruthless man, and sooner or later he would die in the hands of a villain, and today it really came true.” Lu Su He smiled and said, "Feng Xiao, Sun Ce is not dead yet." Guo Jia pondered for a while and said, "If Sun Ce died, who do you think will lead Jiangdong?" I blurted out; "Sun Ce's son is still young, how many The younger brother, Sun Quan, is the most courageous and the oldest, so he should be the one."

I thought to myself that Liu Chao is now eyeing him, and he must use Jiangdong Sun's family to contain this old fox. Sun Ce is doomed, but if Sun Quan was not in Jiangdong when he died, then history will definitely choose another person to succeed Sun Ce. At that time, it was not necessarily what the situation would be. The South could not be prepared to return to Liu Biao. No, history cannot be allowed to run like this. I want to let Sun Quan go back. With him, at least Liu Biao cannot affect the battle of Guandu.

Guo Jia asked at the right time, "How will you deal with Sun Quan, my lord?" I immediately stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and said with a sideways face, "I'll let him go, this man can't die yet." Suddenly stopped at the door; "Second son, think twice, our military rations are still—" I laughed; "Sun Quan will not send us military rations, I believe him." Le smiled wryly and muttered; Let’s go, and the food will disappear.”

The first thing I said when I saw Sun Quan was: "Your elder brother was assassinated, you go back to Jiangdong." Sun Quan saw me coming in and thought I was here to play chess with him, so he came out with a smile on his face. Pale, with trembling lips, he said, "You said, my elder brother Sun Ce is dead—he's dead—" I understood, he misunderstood, and immediately said, "No, no, it's just serious injuries, Zhongmou, go back to Jiangdong, I'll send someone to deliver you." Sun Quan almost thought his ears were broken, and said in disbelief; "You—you let me go—then your food—"

"Food is still needed, this is not inconsistent with letting you go back, Zhongmou, please." I took the pen and paper from the desk and handed it to Sun Quan; "Please, give me an IOU—— "

"IOU——" Sun Quan looked at me angrily, and flames almost burst out from the top of his head; "What do I owe you?" Sun Quan played chess with me these days, learned a few foul words, and blurted them out in a hurry.

"Hey, Zhongmou, you can't do this. It's agreed, your ransom is 60 shi of grain, and now I've just paid half of it, and I'll send you back. Such kindness, righteousness, kindness, and great virtue, your Sun family can't help it!" Don't be ungrateful. Write quickly—"

"Great kindness and great virtue," Sun Quan almost vomited blood angrily; "Yuan Xi, you bastard—you—extort and extort, what is the difference between your behavior and a scoundrel, and you call it a great kindness and great virtue, I bah, you— —”

I saw that Sun Quan was angry, and immediately patted him on the back to persuade him; "Zhongmou, Zhongmou, don't be impulsive, listen to me, anyway, if you don't issue this IOU, it's okay, then I won't." Let you go, you have to think about it, your elder brother Sun Ce, this time is more than auspicious, if you die, the position of the commander of the Jiangdong Army—"

This sentence was like a steel knife piercing into Sun Quan's heart. Sun Quan's clever mind immediately regained his composure, took three deep breaths in a row, and finally suppressed the burning anger in his chest, and avoided the paper and pen in my hand , threw the paper on the desk, turned around, and yelled loudly; "How to write it." I said with a playful smile; "Just write that I owe Yuan Xi's army 30 shi today, and say that there is no evidence for it. Then write your Name, date of repayment, just write it in June of the fourth year of Jian'an in Dahan, and I will give you some time to prepare."

Sun Quan angrily typed up the IOU, threw it into my hand, and said, "Can I go?" I looked at the IOU, and suddenly said sadly, "Zhongmou, don't know when we will see each other today, I'm still waiting for you." I'm really reluctant." Sun Quan almost vomited, patted my shoulder, and sighed; "Brother Yuan, don't worry, Quan, I hope I will never see you again in this life." "Hey, Sun Quan, are you cursing me? ?"

Sun Quan laughed and said, "You send someone to take me away, I'm worried about my brother's comfort."

In March, Sun Ce died of illness, and Sun Quan ascended the throne as the general seeking captives, commanding the five counties in Jiangdong.Cao Cao returned to Xuchang from the Guandu front line, and wanted to take advantage of Sun Ce's death to send troops to Jiangdong.Dissuaded by the censor Zhang Hong, Cao Cao sent Zhang Hong to Jiangdong, and made Sun Quan the prefect of Wujun.Yan Liang and Wen Chou had already entered Liyang, and my father sent someone to tell me to return to Jizhou as soon as possible.I thought about my father's order again and again, so I called Xun Yu and Guo Jialusu together for a discussion, and decided to appoint Zhao Yun as the commanding army Zhonglang general to guard the five counties in Huainan.Take teacher Xun Yu as the general commander to manage the military and local power in Huainan.Gu Yong was the chief minister and the governor of Huainan, and was in charge of farming in Shouchun. Lu Su was the governor of Jiujiang, and Xu Huang was the school lieutenant. He was in Hefei to guard against Sun Quan and Liu Biao.He led [-] troops and rushed back to Jizhou with Guo Jia, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao, and Zhu Ling.

my Luoshen
In March, the spring breeze is warm and the grass grows and warblers fly.But in the morning and evening, the cold wind will still bully the early blooming flowers.The mist was wet and heavy, and the erosion was beating the willows that had just sprouted their buds.The startled butterfly seemed to feel the weight of its powder wings, and kept resting on the wild flowers by the roadside.Swallows like to build their nests in moist soil, and this is their busiest time.On the clean official road in the early morning, there are bursts of spring fragrance.I took a deep breath, only to feel breath-taking and comfortable in my chest.Holding the fierce gun in his hand, the fog condensed on the gun, making the originally bright gun dark.Like a pewter rod.How desirable it is to be away from the war-torn environment.For some reason, my heart suddenly throbbed inexplicably, as if it was infected by spring, and it seemed that I really entered the starting point of life at that moment.Has my life started, I immediately asked in my heart over and over again.The dewdrops on the thatch that has not yet turned green are round, and the horses are running faster and faster uncontrollably, and the soldiers behind them are also exhausted.Although the sky was not clear, the morning mist turned into wet rain and scattered stars, hitting people's faces, clothes, and armor.Looking far away, the fog more than ten miles away is still very thick, as if it is covered by heavy rain and fog.This heavy rain and fog is a bit like my mood. In the letter that sent me back to Jizhou, my father used harsh words, and he was angry between the lines. The main reason was that he was very angry at me for offering the jade seal privately, and he was so angry that he broke out into hysteria.This kind of reaction from him was actually within my expectation. While I was worried, I was glad that Yuxi had not been in the hands of my father, otherwise his defeat might have been quicker and more thorough.

Zhang Yun kept twisting his body on the horse, grabbed the armor with his hands, moved it up and down, and said helplessly; "It's terrible, this armor becomes extremely heavy with fog and moisture, and it's still tight. Some can't breathe." Gao Lan laughed at the side; "The most terrible thing is that the mist penetrates into the underwear through the neckline and sticks to the skin. If you can’t do it, it’s painful.”

Guo Jia passed the three of us easily, and said with a smile; "It seems that being a general has the distress of being a general. How nice it is to be like me. You don't need to wear heavy armor, and you can just scratch it with your hands." There was a neat queue on the official road and the marching team said: "I can't compare with you, Mr. Guo. You are all masters and learned people. Although I, Zhang, am not a rough person, I don't have the ability to strategize. You can adapt to changes on the battlefield, so this armor still needs to be worn.” It has been three days since the march, and although they have enough sleep every day, everyone’s hair is still messy and unkempt, and they all look like savages. The brilliance is completely set off by the weapon in hand and the armor on his body.Under the erosion of the morning mist, Gao Lan's hair became strands and strands, and the water droplets flowed from the ends of the hair to the armor. The black-gray and dirty water stains drew a line on his yellow armor. Road texture.Guo Jia's expression suddenly became solemn; "Second son, do you mean to blame the Lord for calling you back to Jizhou urgently this time?"

I smiled wryly, and all the worries in my heart gathered into a stream and spit out from my mouth; "I shouldn't let me off lightly, I think, I'm too brave—" Gao Lan has always been taciturn , don't blame him, because his words are not pleasant, and he will choke to death in the long run.However, such words of choking to death generally have some truth if you savor them carefully. "Second Young Master did the right thing. I, Gao Lan, have met many sons from aristocratic families or high-ranking lords before. None of them are as approachable and serious as Second Young Master. Most of them are idle and domineering. I have seen them all. , The Second Young Master has done nothing wrong in Huainan these days, isn’t it Zhang He?” Zhang He hummed; “Let’s go to see the lord together, Second Young Master, Gao Lan and I are not blind, we will speak for you.” My heart was cleared for a while. , My eyes are wet, the mist is cold, but the tears flowing from my eyes are extremely hot. "No, none of you can participate in this matter. I'm worried that my father will find someone to vent his anger. You all shirk your knowledge, understand?" I warned Zhang He Gaolan sternly.

Gao Lan sighed deeply, opened his mouth, closed it again, and swallowed the words he had just rushed out of his mouth.Guo Jia pointed to the bustling city gate ahead; "It's close, Jizhou is ahead—" He looked at me with bitterness on his face.

Jizhou City is also called Yecheng.The gates of the city were opened very early, and at dawn, the captain of the city gate was in charge of opening them.It was not yet noon.In front of the city gate, there was a bustling crowd of people, including merchants, farmers, knights with swords on their backs, beggars along the street, refugees from various places, and well-dressed Confucian scholars who maintained a decent appearance on the surface, scratching their heads and making gestures, winking and dusty. Although wars are still frequent, this city, one of the best in the Han Dynasty, can still be said to be full of traffic.

The soldiers guarding the city saw a large group of people approaching, so they rushed into the city and invited the captain of the city gate to come out.Chengmen school lieutenant Zhang Nan is a direct subordinate of Yan Liang, the general who conquered the north, and he is usually very popular. He knows Zhang He, Gao Lan and even me.And my marching note has already been sent to the city, my father should have informed the Jizhou defenders.Zhang Nan hastily ordered his soldiers to disperse the crowd who were entering the city, and ran over to salute me. "Congratulations, Second Young Master, Second Young Master, it would be great if you come back. Madam has sent people to inquire about it more than a dozen times this morning, so I will send someone to report to Madam, the Lord." I nodded and said; "Thank you Captain Zhang."

Zhang Nan stood aside and said respectfully, "My lord, please enter the city." I rode my horse into the city, and Zhang Nan greeted Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Guo Jia behind me. on both sides.The heavy cloud had not yet dissipated, and a light rain fell from the sky at the right time, which brought a lot of trouble to the marching troops.In order to prevent the soldiers from complaining, I urged my horses and accelerated my advance. The horizon continued to move in front of my eyes, and the shops and restaurants on both sides were quickly left behind.Further forward is a large-scale residential area. On this main street of Yecheng, there is no place for the poor to stand. The residential area is also the residence of the rich.In front of the majestic gatehouse, there are flower gardens with bamboo fences everywhere.The cold air permeated the bamboo fence, and the sound of wind and rain swayed in the flower garden.A flowing clear stream flows through here to the north of the city, exits from the north gate, and flows into the moat.

The horse is too fast. This is my fault. In the bustling city, the horse should not be riding so fast, not to mention there are [-] menacing soldiers behind.Not far away, a luxurious four-wheeled carriage was lying across the middle of the road. It seemed that there was something wrong with the wheels and it couldn't move.An elderly coachman with a gray beard was squatting under the shaft to make repairs.

My horse has already run to the front.The horse was too fast. When I found the carriage, it was too late to rein in the horse. The war-tested horse rushed towards the carriage, neighing and demonstrating, as if it regarded the carriage blocking its path as an imaginary enemy on the battlefield. Indomitable, very violent.The coachman with the gray beard heard the horse pedaling bell behind him, coupled with the sound of chaotic footsteps, he hurriedly turned his head, and his face turned pale in an instant.When I saw that it was broken, the horse was aroused wildly, and it was desperately trying to destroy the obstacle in front of it.I tried my best to hold the rein backwards desperately. The horse stubbornly resisted my strength. Under the pull of the two forces, the horse's body suddenly deflected to the left. In early spring, the green stone road covered with moss , coupled with light rain, it became wet and slippery, the horse's four hooves were unstable, and I fell to the ground with a sound of 'Peng'. Half of my body was pressed under the horse, and I lost feeling in one leg immediately, with a helmet on my head. , or if it hit the stone slab all of a sudden, it might have hung up.There was an inexplicable chill in his lower abdomen.Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yuan Yin, Yuan Yao and Guo Jia came up from behind. Seeing the situation, they turned pale with shock, and ran over exclaiming; My stomach and belly hurt to the bone, and I thought to myself, maybe I won't be able to stand up again this time.Zhang Xi helped me cut off the stirrups wrapped around my body with the saber at his waist, helped the horse up with his hands, and carried me out of the horse, while roaring to the soldiers behind him; "Quick, grab this old thing for me!" Get up, if something happens to Second Young Master, I will kill him alive."

A group of soldiers who were as active as wolves and tigers in bullying the common people than in fighting the war immediately ran over to catch the elderly coachman.The coachman was terrified. The cold sweat on his pale face gathered in his ears and trickled down the tips of his hair. His gray beard was trembling uncontrollably, and his legs were shaking like chaff.But he still stood firmly in front of the car, neither hiding nor running.More than a dozen soldiers grabbed him, without any further explanation, and greeted him with heavy fists, beating and cursing at the same time. "Old man, you're done. Do you know who the person who fell down just now is? That's our Second Young Master Yuan Xi from Jizhou City—you—"

"Stop--" There was a coquettish shout from inside the car, "Stop it, don't hit anyone." Greeting fists on his body, he straightened up and stared blankly at the unopened car curtain.

At this time, my consciousness seemed to be awakened by the sound of nature.In front of Jin Xing's scurrying eyes, a slender and beautiful jade hand protruded from behind the car curtain, and behind the jade hand was a face that was as elegant and refined as a fairy.Frost hung on the fairy's face, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, my heart was beating wildly, and the pain in my whole body suddenly disappeared without a trace.With an army of [-], the entire market was silent for an instant, and the air was condensed by the beauty's appearance.

I don't know where the strength came from, I suddenly jumped down from Zhang Xi's arms, and said to the soldiers in a daze, "Forget it, you guys go back—"

"Slow down—don't go—" the fairy's words seemed to have a natural deterrent force, which frightened the group of soldiers to be stunned and dare not move.I calmed down and took a closer look at this young girl. She is like a fresh green that grows out of vegetation, delicate, quiet and elegant. The sorrow in my heart drifts with the water when I look at her gentle eyes. This opportunity for the beginning of life slowly unfolded in my body.I endured the pain and said in a low voice; "Girl, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let anyone hurt the old man." The light rain made the girl's long eyelashes stained with dew, and she couldn't open her eyes, but when she looked up At the beginning, the moment I looked at me, two red clouds immediately rose on my face.My heart suddenly became clear when I looked at her, and a consciousness flashed in my mind; "Girl, you——you are Zhen Mi—"

The girl's words almost made me faint; "You—that's Yuan Xi—how do you know my name—" Guo Jia probably woke up from the astonishment at this time, and said to Zhang Nan who just came from behind. "Lieutenant Zhang, something happened to the second young master, you can't absolve yourself of the blame." Zhang Nan was already so frightened that his face paled, and he stammered; "Quick, catch—— catch this woman and that old thing— - catch up -"

A group of city-hunting soldiers behind Zhang Nan immediately went over to surround the two of them. I called out in a low voice; Get lost—" Zhang Nan ran away in fright.I looked at Zhen Mi and said obsessively; "Its shape is as light as a frightened bird, as graceful as a wandering dragon. The glorious autumn chrysanthemums are lush and spring pine. It seems like the moon covered by blue clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind. ... Seeing me staring at him blankly, Zhen Mi was a little angry at first, but when he heard these two lines, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if he had an inexplicable response to this line.

But Zhang He uttered a cry and screamed; "Second Young Master, you—your—" Zhang He hadn't finished speaking, and a sharp pain came to his heart. I looked down, and blood was rushing out of my lower abdomen, and I didn't know. It was pain, or it was caused by seeing Zhen Mi's excitement, I felt a burst of collapse, my body was floating, and I lost consciousness.

My last thought was, is fate bringing us together?My Luoshen, can I bear such a beautiful face disappearing in my life, no, I can't, I must change history, Zhen Mi, you are mine, I will not give Cao Pi a chance to harm you.My Luoshen.
