[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Yu?w recently felt that she could not understand her brother more and more.

Of course, she didn't understand much before.She knows that she is not outstanding in intelligence, and her brother is not of a temperament that reveals her thoughts to the outside, so she never dares to act rashly, pretends to be smart, and follows her brother's orders for every task.However, although she didn't understand other things before, she can be sure of her brother's thoughts, that is, whatever is beneficial to Cao Sikong, no matter what the situation is, her brother will definitely do it, and it must be perfect. Can, not make Sikong lose the slightest benefit.

However, his elder brother's attitude towards Sun Ce is far from this, at least it seems.

Although Sun Ce has no intention of going north for the time being, he does have the intention of going west and approaching Chen Deng.Chen Deng knew that the isolated city was difficult to defend, and he could use it to defeat Sun Quan's sudden sharpness, but Sun Ce had only one way to break the city, be captured and die.However, in the north, Cao Sikong and Yuan Shao were in a stalemate at Guandu, and it was difficult for a single soldier to spare to support Guangling.With few soldiers and no strength, the situation is critical, and the only thing left is Jing Ke's plan to assassinate Qin Qin.

As for Jing Ke's candidates, some of Xu Gong's disciples who were killed by Sun Ce were disciples who wanted to avenge their lord. As long as they secretly contacted each other and incited them, it was absolutely the best choice.

But just such a few people can't make this plan foolproof.Although Sun Ce often went out to hunt in the countryside, he was often protected by his own soldiers, and all of them were brave men who counted as ten.With the ability of these disciples, before they could get close to Sun Ce, they might have been killed by their own soldiers.

Therefore, the task of separating Sun Ce from his own soldiers fell on the thousand-mile horse.

All this was told by her brother after returning home the day she met Sun Ce in the market.When she took the horse to find her brother and told him that the horse was sent by Mr. Chen Yuanlong from Guangling, Mr. Chen heard that his brother had sent him a good horse recently, his brother already understood the purpose of the horse and Chen Yuanlong's intention.

"Sun Ce could tell at a glance that this horse was wild and fierce, and Jia couldn't control it. What's more, it was Chen Yuanlong who was all-round and exquisite. The horse was sent to Sun Bofu by Jia's hand, firstly to prevent his people from being exposed. The second is to make Jia a participant in this plan, and tie Jia and him to the same boat. In the future, if the lord is dissatisfied with his handling of this matter, if Jia is involved, whether it is intercession or blocking arrows, it will be an extra layer Guarantee. Chen Yuanlong is indeed a genius who has been able to deal with all parties in Xuzhou for so long, and he really has a good plan."

The elder brother knew what Chen Deng was thinking, and was willing to help him. Yu Yu understood that this was because even though Chen Deng's scheme was selfish, it was of great benefit to Cao Sikong.But what she didn't understand was that she hesitated again and again in the face of elder brother Sun Ce this time.

Not for intelligence, not for probing, he would rather be given more medicine by Doctor Hua than go hunting with Sun Ce in the suburbs.

He divination and divination for Sun Ce, deriving fate.Before that, except for Cao Sikong and Xun Lingjun, the elder brother all said that "detecting the will of heaven will damage Yangshou", and did not make divination for anyone.

Knowing what Chen Deng meant, Sun Ce warned again and again when he asked for the horse according to the plan.Every time she asked, the tone became more serious, and finally she didn't even hide her identity anymore... After Sun Ce really led the horse, she clearly felt that her brother wanted Sun Ce to sense the danger and refused.

Another example is that now, Cao Sikong's letter from the north was sent to the case, talking about the news that Sun Ce wanted to go north to attack Xu, which caused panic among the army.The elder brother had known for a long time that Sun Ce intended to go to Guangling, and also knew that Sun Ce might lose his life in attacking Guangling, but he held up a pen and did not write on the silk paper that was about to be sent back to the north.

It wasn't until the ink condensed into ink beads on the tip of the pen and soiled the silk paper that Yu Huai suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Bring Jia a change of silk paper."

The fifth...

Yu?w was silently remembering the number, while feeling sorry for the precious silk.She took down the ink-stained paper and threw it into the candle vessel, then replaced it with a new paper that was not much left, flattened it, and persuaded softly: "Master, if... do I send a letter to Chen Chen?" Deng, let him slow down, wait for the young master to leave Jiangdong before acting."

This time they came here only to recuperate from illness, and they met Sun Ce on purpose, but it was unexpected that they were involved in Guangling.When Sun Ce was assassinated, Wancheng must be under martial law, and it would be too difficult for them to leave at that time.

Although she instinctively knew that her brother's hesitation could not be due to this danger, but after thinking about it, she really couldn't find any other more reasonable explanation.

"A notice has been posted in the city that the army will send to Guangling in the future to 'rescue the traitors', and there is no longer any delay." Yu Huai sighed lightly, muttering in his mouth as if to explain, but more like persuading himself , "Besides, Chen Yuanlong reported this matter to Jia, just to sell Jia's face. How can Jia let him slow down." Serving the three masters in Xuzhou, he is still famous; To win the favor of the whole city, the lord respects and fears such a profound and talented person in the city, and it is even more impossible for him to do more at this time and ruin a major event.

"It's just...it's a pity." He sighed lightly again, with a little bit of regret in his eyes, feeling bewildered, as if he had lost something.

Dip ink, put pen to paper:

Cexin merged with Jiangdong, and all those punished are heroes who can win people's vitality.However, if the strategy is light and unprepared, even if there are millions of people, it is tantamount to walking alone in the Central Plains.If the assassin rises and falls, one person's enemy's ears.

From my point of view, it must die at the hands of ordinary people.

Yu Huai stopped writing, Yu?w picked up the silk and took it aside, and delivered it after the ink was dry.Yu Huai propped his head in one hand, held a pen in the other, and suddenly said: "Why don't Jia write the same copy again and send it to Sun Bofu?"

"Master?!"

"Just kidding, why are you nervous." Yu Huai smiled and put the pen back on the pen holder, "By the way, what you said before is also right, let Dr. Hua come to check the pulse tomorrow. If there is no serious problem, Jia should also gone back."

Le Mo Le is a new acquaintance, Mo Sadness is parting.

Don't be with some people, say goodbye to life and death, it is also a miss.If the grudge is not over, you will know the destiny, and you can't seek it.

After receiving the news, before the general could take off his army and go to the sword, he jumped on the horse with his iron boots. He did not eat or drink for three days, did not sleep or rest, and galloped for three thousand miles. Finally, he stood outside this hall, his feet seemed to be nailed , can't move a step.

Behind him, the gold fell to the west, and the fire burned the clouds in the sky; beside him, the door was wide open, and a coffin lay quietly on the hall, and the dark ebony was silent.The last time he saw ebony made in this form was to bury his adoptive father. At that time, he stood beside Bo Fu and stroked the coffin face with his hand. The cold touch penetrated into the bones of his hand. After ten days, it did not disappear.

But this time, there was no one standing beside him.There is no need to touch the coffin face, he already felt the biting cold wind in this warm spring day in Jiangdong.We know that this is not due to the cold and heat of nature, it is only due to the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and the fickleness of the world, and even the farewell between life and death is ultimately missed.

I don't know who saw him first, half surprised and half happy called out "Central Guardian Army".The group of people kneeling in front of the coffin turned their heads suddenly, and the young man in the head opened his red eyes from crying and saw that it was indeed Zhou Yu who had returned. He staggered from the start, and was supported by Jiangdong's old troops beside him. He finally stood still, and ran towards Zhou Yu: "Grand... Zhou Hujun, you are finally back!"

Listening to the blunt change of words, Zhou Yu thought that someone should have taught Sun Quan before he came back.Today, the sky has changed, and nothing can be the same as before.

He supported Sun Quan, wiped the tears off Sun Quan's face, wiped them again, and said in a soft voice that only Sun Quan could hear: "Zhongmou, you can't cry anymore, you can't cry anymore." He raised his head and looked at the old officials in Jiangdong in the hall. All of them were dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, kneeling and kneeling on the ground, seemingly mourning endlessly, but he didn't know how many were harboring ghosts and ghosts, waiting for an opportunity to move.

Zhou Yu knew that the battle was fought so fast, and there were too many backlogs to digest and solve in time.The relative stability before was almost entirely due to the majesty established by Sun Ce for a long time. Now that Sun Ce is dead, there will only be more and more people with evil intentions, and they will become more and more bold.

"Did the assassin find it?" Zhou Yu raised his voice, asking Sun Quan and everyone in the mourning hall.

"I found it... yes..." Sun Quan wanted to answer, but he still whimpered first.In fact, facing everything alone these few days, he has been able to suppress his emotions. It can be seen that Zhou Yu, who is as close as a brother, still couldn't help it and shed tears after all.

He wiped his face fiercely again, gritting his teeth to force back the tears.When his elder brother was assassinated, Brother Gongjin felt no less grief than him, but ever since he stepped into this courtyard, Brother Gongjin had never cried aloud.They can't cry anymore, can't cry anymore.

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu's bloody hands tightly clenched under his iron armor, then looked at his expressionless face, bit his lower lip, straightened his back, stood up straight, and replied clearly, "The assassin is Xu Gong." To avenge the master, he killed himself on the spot after the assassination."

How could they know the whereabouts of Bofu just because they were just bereaved dogs, and they happened to be stuck at the time when Guangling was to be conquered... Zhou Yu frowned slightly, and flattened again. Now is not the time to find out the truth, there are more important things Need to do it.

"General Sun," he took a step back, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and cupped his fists, "General Sun, please take care of yourself. Jiangdong's foundation will depend on the general's shoulders from now on!"

Sun Quan's eyes moved slightly, and he instantly understood the meaning of Zhou Yu's action.In the mourning hall behind him, someone really couldn't hold back his breath, and it was Li Shu, the prefect of Lujiang: "Zhou Hujun has just arrived from afar, and he doesn't know the situation yet! Father dies and son succeeds, the ancient ritual. Although Shao Gongzi is young, everyone The public can cooperate with each other, and in this way, the foundation of Jiangdong can be preserved, and the painstaking efforts of the ancestors can not be thwarted."

"No and no." Without waiting for Sun Quan or Zhou Yu to refute, one of them spoke first, but he also harbored other intentions, "Father dies, son succeeds, so it is an ancient ritual. However, Mr. Shao is young, and he is embarrassed. Sun Among the descendants of the family, General Pingnan is the oldest, with the calmest and most robust temperament. Moreover, General Pingnan fought with the former lord in many battles, and made great achievements in battle. It is most appropriate for him to inherit the great cause, out of courtesy and affection."

"This statement is wrong! Establishing a long-term apprentice is based on age, and does not know whether a person is talented or not. In this troubled world, those who can hold the foundation of Jiangdong must be regarded as talented and virtuous people and do not need to be older than their age .Mr. Yi has outstanding virtues, and he has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, so he can continue the great cause!"

"You mean General Pingnan's talents are inferior to Sun Yi's?!"

……

The mourning hall, which had been suppressed for a few days and only heard wailing, was instantly filled with noise.The ministers blamed each other, turned their eyebrows coldly, and used all kinds of rhetoric to fight differences.The coffin was still lying quietly in the hall, and the white candles were shaking wildly, as cold as ice.

"Enough!" Zhou Yu stood up and faced everyone in the hall, "Did the lord have any last words before his death?"

A group of people were taken aback by Zhou Yu's stern voice, which was always gentle and elegant, and fell silent for a while.Zhang Zhao, who has been silent since just now, stepped forward, bowed to the mourning hall, and then turned to face the people in the hall and the hall: "When the lord was dying, I personally prepared the seal and ribbon for Prince Quan, entrusting the great cause, except for Zhao. , more than one person can testify to this.”

"Since the lord has made a decision, we, as subjects, shall regard the young master of power as the new lord, and jointly protect Jiangdong's foundation!" Seeing that someone wanted to refute again, Zhou Yu pulled out his long sword with a "swish".The blade was condensed with murderous intent and glowed with a cold light, which finally caused fear in the ghostly man.

He thrust his sword into the ground abruptly, then knelt down to Sun Quan, clasped his fists and said loudly, "My minister Zhou Yu is willing to assist the lord to protect the foundation of Jiangdong and create an inexhaustible achievement!"

"My minister, Zhang Zhao, is willing to assist the lord, to protect the foundation of Jiangdong, and to create an inexhaustible achievement." In the hall, Zhang Zhao first knelt down, clasped his fists and saluted, with a calm expression on his face.

Sparsely, some people followed and knelt down.But others stood hesitant.They knew that if they knelt down to Sun Quan today, it would be tantamount to acknowledging his new lordship, and they would no longer be able to justifiably push their own relatives to the lordship in the future.

Sun Quan stood there, looking at those who bowed to him, and at those who were still standing.Among those kneeling, there are his relatives; among those standing, there are also his relatives.In the face of power and interests, people's hearts are cold and unavoidable.

He wants to escape.He doesn't want to be the Lord of Jiangdong, he just wants to be like before, listen to his brother, he will fight wherever his brother tells him to fight, even if he can't win, there is still his brother behind him... His ambition is not as good as the world, his achievements are not as good as all the people, but every day All had a good time.

But he couldn't, he took a step back, stepping on the corpses of his elder brother and father, stepping on the countless soldiers who sacrificed for Jiangdong's foundation, and stepping on the painstaking efforts of the loyal ministers who bowed to him in front of him.He could only move forward step by step, walking in front of the crowd, holding his head high and speaking loudly, sonorously: "Quan knows that he is not as brave as his father and brother, so he is not as good as the ministers. Fearing that the boy has no talent, he has the wisdom to betray his father and brother."

The person who was still standing affirmed this statement and secretly smiled in his heart.It would be best if Sun Quan could retreat despite difficulties.

Unexpectedly, Sun Quan changed the subject: "Since my elder brother entrusted the great cause of Jiangdong to Quan, even if Quan Quan is worried, he should follow the teachings of the sages, respect the elder brother's will, do his part, and flatter the great cause!" Step by step, he was slow but firm. He walked to the place where Zhou Yu's sword was inserted, and pulled it out. The cold light in his eyes and the cold light on the sword body were not too much to give way. In the name of righteousness, plotting in private, causing disaster to Xiao Qiang, Quan can only..." With a wave of the sharp sword, the sword energy went first, and a tree and a branch beside it fell in response to the sound.

With a "snap", Sun Quan threw the sword back into Zhou Yu's scabbard, turning his back and not looking at the crowd.And behind him, all the officials fell to their knees in trepidation, and there was no more noise.

However, it can be suppressed for a while with coercion, but it is difficult to suppress it for a lifetime.Soon after that day, Li Shu, the prefect of Lujiang, rebelled. Sun Fu cooperated with the enemy in the north.锸administrating the emperor to rush straight to sacrifice to the scapula? To recite the screen to show off the otter k strontium ㄖ desolate to take the empty space 耪荑こ Tang to find the trace of Huan shirt milling? It is called ⌒ model?

But in the process of pacifying the chaos, another thing never stopped.Sun Ce's assassination, if it is only said that it was planned by Xu Gong's disciples, there are too many things that cannot be explained.However, after all, there was some time in the middle, and there was civil strife again. After checking, I only knew that there were signs of people from Guangling Chen Yuanlong behind these retainers.

After receiving this piece of information, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something that he always thought he had forgotten.He hurriedly sent people to Yu Huai's residence, but it was already empty.The subordinate finally presented it to the case, and the only person who saw it was a wooden slip specially left behind:

There is a right to one's life, which one can be separated and reunited?

Guo Jia.

With a sound of "pa", the wooden slip was thrown into the brazier hard.The flame crackled the wooden slips, burning more and more intensely, burning more and more intensely, the blazing fire seemed to burn away all the mourning.

Tonight, Xu Feng, bright moon, the scenery is just right, if you can find three cups of dirty wine, it is also a good opportunity to eliminate the flames of war and take a break from the busy schedule.

However, Cao Cao knew that he could only think about it.Not to mention that the prohibition of alcohol in the army is a rule set by him himself, and it is needless to say that there is no alcohol in the army. The most important thing is that people who can have the leisure to accompany him to drink with him are still at ease in the south thousands of miles away. Take a break to recuperate.

I don't know if it's because of the deadlocked battle situation or something else, Cao Cao felt a little depressed.Pushing the case to the military newspaper, he got up and went outside the tent to breathe.

"Excuse me, is it Mr. Cao?"

A greeting came from nowhere, and Cao Cao looked for his reputation.The person who came was wearing a green shirt and a thin ink robe, and the crown was tied crookedly on his head. I don't know if it was just like this or the horse was driving too fast, and the night wind was too fast.But even so, people don't look embarrassed, it seems that it should be like this, and it is exactly the same as the countless images that have been sketched in my mind due to longing.

He got off his horse and walked towards Cao Cao step by step with a smile on his face:

"Jia is really curious. Who is Cao Mengde who was able to fight against Yuan Benchu ​​for several months without losing the wind and beheaded the second general in Hebei, so he was rude and treated this uninvited guest. It came suddenly. Don't blame Cao Gong. "
