My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 407 Sealing the wolf as a Xu, Le Shi Yanran, two more members of the Temple of War God.

Bang Bang Bang ~
Luoyang, outside the south city gate, the sound of gongs and drums, and the red tassels fluttering.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of people, a convoy from Yangzhou almost entered the city gate.

On the carriage, Sun Wu's heart was filled with lingering fear, but at the same time, his face was full of pride and pride.

Although the scene was a bit out of control, the reason why these people surrounded their group outside the city gate was to welcome their family.

As Sun Jian's official wife, Sun Ce's mother, and her son's great reputation, as a mother, Sun Wu's family is naturally honored.

This time he came to Beijing because he was called to receive meritorious service for his son Sun Ce.

Along the way, they were escorted by the city guards, so they came to Luoyang before the New Year's Eve.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

Sun Wu put down the curtains, looked down at the daughter in her arms, and said with a smile: "Xiangxiang is hungry, mother will bring you some cakes to eat."

The little girl was about four or five years old, she was round and round, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of lively eyes blinking with long eyelashes.

"Mom, I don't eat cakes, I want to eat the cakes my elder brother gave me." Sun Shangxiang pouted her rosy lips and hugged her mother.

Mrs. Sun Wu rubbed her daughter's head, and said amusedly: "You returned the cake, you ate it all, and your second brother didn't even have a piece of it."

Sun Shangxiang explained: "No way, the second brother said he doesn't like sweets, so I helped the second brother eat more."

Sun Wu hugged her daughter affectionately, and taught her: "Silly girl, the second brother said he doesn't like sweets, so that you can eat more."

"Is that so?" Sun Shangxiang scratched her head. She was so young that she was protected so well by her two elder brothers, so how could she understand this.

At this time, the young man beside the carriage knocked on the carriage, and said with a smile: "Mother, little sister, we are already in Luoyang, and I will send someone to buy cakes later. I can eat as much as I want. I heard there are other cakes." Cakes, I will buy you a piece to try later.”

This boy is only eight or nine years old, and he is as old as Zhuge Liang, but his words and deeds are already very mature. He has experienced the pain of losing his father at a young age. Adult appearance.

Hearing her son love her sister so much, Sun Wu lifted the curtain of the car in relief. Seeing this, Sun Shangxiang poked her head out and shouted coquettishly, "Second brother, I'm so hungry, I want to eat a lot of cakes."

Seeing his younger sister, Sun Quan smiled brightly and said, "Okay, second brother, I'll let someone buy it now, and buy a lot of cakes for Xiang'er to eat."

Sun Shangxiang was so happy that she clapped her hands, her smiling face was very charming.

Sun Wu took her coquettish daughter into her arms, looked around, and reminded: "There is no rush to buy cakes, Quan'er first check where your uncle is, and let's settle down first."

The Wu family is also a big family in Yangzhou, so they naturally have property in Luoyang. Sun Wu's visit to Luoyang this time is to replace his son to award honors. Little good.

Sun Quan already knew a lot at such a young age. He knew that their family was weak now. Even if the elder brother risked his life to get rich, if one of them was not good enough, he might not be able to keep it. Therefore, he could only rely on the power of his mother's natal family to maximize the benefits. change.

Sun Quan was well aware of the carelessness of the uncles, but due to the situation, he could only make false claims with the people from the Wu family.

Seeing the worried expression on his mother's face, Sun Quan sighed in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Mother, don't worry, the child has already been reported to the Wu residence, and uncle should be on his way."

Sun Quan didn't stop there, his uncle was queuing up in Mengjin right now, so he couldn't find time to receive their family.

Fortunately, Sun Ce responded to Wei Cheng's call this time, and went south to expand the territory for the great Han, so the Weisuo sent someone to meet him first.

That's why so many people greeted their family at the gate of the city.

Compared with Wu's, the guard's reception must be a priority.

Because of this, the carriage did not go to the east of the city, but went straight to Dingjunfang in the north of the city.

This is a square city where only high-end generals belonging to the Longshan Army, Tiger Soul Army, Dragon Breath Guard, and City Guard Army can live.

The buildings in the whole square are the kind of three-entry garden, each family is three feet apart, and they do not interfere with each other.

The carriage stopped in front of a garden, and the deacon of the guard who was in charge of escorting him respectfully stepped forward and bowed his hands.

"Second Master Sun, this is the residence given to General Sun by Jun Wei."

In front of the main gate of Bieyuan, two rows of maids and servants bowed in unison.

Sun Quan looked up at the plaque and couldn't help being stunned. His eyes were full of admiration and excitement, and he was full of pride.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and Sun Wu took Sun Shangxiang out of the car. Seeing Sun Quan standing in front of the door in a daze, he couldn't help but follow his line of sight curiously...

After all, everyone was from aristocratic background, Sun Wu was naturally literate, but with just one glance, her eyes burned and her throat choked up.

There are four big characters written on the plaque: the god of war who overwhelms the sea.

The couplet on the left: The Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day, soaring up to [-] li.

The couplet on the right: Kill all Annan's millions of soldiers, and the sword at the waist is still bloody.

The mother and son couldn't calm down for a long time, but the little Sun Shangxiang looked confused. Seeing her mother crying, she hurriedly hugged her mother's thigh and comforted her anxiously, "Mother don't cry, mother don't cry..."

Mrs. Sun Wu picked up her daughter, walked to Sun Quan, put her arms around his son's shoulders, and said with a sob: "Quan'er, you have entered Heluo College this time, you have to work hard and strive to be like your elder brother as soon as possible and become a An indomitable figure!"

Sun Quan looked up at his mother, his small body was trembling constantly, it was fear, it was fear, it was worry and worry for his brother Sun Ce!

In addition to his lofty ambitions, Sun Quan thought of his late father. He was very afraid, very afraid that his elder brother, whom he had always set as an example, would experience an accident during the Southern Expedition. Such glory.

The dead can only be remembered.

He's not young anymore, so naturally he wouldn't feel that all of this is easy to get. If it wasn't for his elder brother fighting outside, where would he be now?
"Mother, my brother has paid too much for us, Quan'er will work hard, try my best to make my brother not work so hard, and work hard to be my helper." Sun Quan clenched his fists and made an oath.

···
Everywhere in Luoyang City, almost everywhere, people were discussing the achievements of Sun Ce and the Huangfu family.

Not to mention the news that just came from Sun Ce's side, but from Huangfusong's side, because of the short distance, there was news from Jian Tian'er.

Just fighting all the way to the Anxi Protectorate Mansion already made people excited, and the news that the old general resolutely stayed behind in Kucha made the people even more praiseful.

In their perception, the Western Regions are endless wilderness and desert, without water, without trees, let alone arable land.

How can people persist in a place where even plants cannot survive?

However, Huangfu Song not only stayed, but also moved his family there, leaving only the eldest son Huangfu Jianshou in Luoyang.

Anyone who knows a little about politics knows that the reason why General Huangfu left the eldest son alone is to make Wei Jun feel at ease.

After all, the general will not accept the orders of the foreign emperor, leaving the eldest son as a proton on the one hand, and on the other hand it is to show that he will never betray.

For this, the common people feel deep admiration.

"Old general Huangfu fought all his life, and when he was old, he took back this huge territory for me. It's not too much to be named king."

"I don't know what Jun Wei thinks about it. It turns out that he is only awarded the God of War. The old general has long been the God of War in our minds."

"It can't be said that. Although the old general has made great achievements in battle, the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion was originally my territory of the Han Dynasty. Now it has only been recaptured. Strictly speaking, the old general has not expanded the territory."

In the restaurant, several young scribes were discussing fiercely whether Huangfu Song's meritorious deeds were enough to be crowned king.

Although I'm a bit blind to eat carrots and worry about it, national affairs are always topical, especially in this era when there is almost no entertainment information, it is easy to become a headline.

The few people sitting in the restaurant facing the street listened to the discussion of these people, and all of them frowned.

Two of them are surnamed Liu, Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Don't ask how they sit together. Asking is the fault of profit.

And this is the second time the two have traveled in both directions.

A few days ago, after Liu Bei received the news that Sun Ce was going south, he was thinking hard about how to contact Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but Liu Biao took the initiative to find him, and sent Liu Bei [-] sailors and fifty ships as soon as he arrived.

However, Liu Biao's goal was not the Indochina Peninsula in southern Yunnan, but Wa Island in the north.

Not only is Boss Cao thoughtful, but Liu Biao also thinks Wadao is the best choice.

First of all, Wa Island is very close to Youzhou, and the supply of supplies is much more convenient than that in the south of Jiaozhou.

Second, he had some friendship with Gongsun Zan. Now that Gongsun Zan has been named King of Zhenbei and his capital is Ji County, Guangyang County, if he can get Gongsun Zan's help, the difficulty of expedition to Wa Island will be much less.

The reason why Liu Bei was found to cooperate was Cai Mao's suggestion.

The original words are: Wa Island is far away from the Central Plains, even if it does not become a king, it can become a country of its own; and Liu Bei is from a humble background and is easy to control, but he has such a good brother Zhang Fei, if he can help him, You can use his name to seek help from Wei Cheng.

Liu Biao has been worrying about the conflict between himself and Wei Cheng, and now he has no desire for revenge.

He just wanted to live for the rest of his life, and what Cai Mao said about the Japanese island being far away from the Central Plains, but also able to form a country of its own, directly moved him.

Liu Biao made a decisive decision, went south to find Liu Bei's partner, and offered to give all his belongings.

He knew that this was a big gamble, if he won, he would sit back and relax, but if he lost, he would have nothing.

After all, he had no choice left.

A few people here were flipping through a copy of "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" in their hands.

Among them, Sun Ce and Huangfu Song awarded the God of War honor is very long, describing in detail the numerous achievements of the two.

In particular, Sun Ce, in two months, first took down an outer island with an area comparable to Bingzhou, and then landed in Jiaozhou. ] Kingdom.

In contrast, although Huangfusong had fought all the way to the old Anxi Protectorate, he had regained the lost ground. Although he had achieved great military exploits, it was far behind the feats of Fenglang Juxu and Le Shiyanran.

At this time, Cai Mao took out a rubbing [Mountain and Sea Map], pointed to the Indochina Peninsula on it, and said: "It is said that Wei Jun has sent someone to send a decree. If Sun Bofu can capture Zhongnan before next winter Peninsula, we must personally crown him as king."

Everyone heard the words and looked at the Indochina Peninsula. Liu Biao said in a deep voice, "The territory of this peninsula is so vast, it seems impossible to conquer it within a year. Besides, it will be winter soon."

(Here, let me just say that in the Three Kingdoms of this time and space, whether it is Jingzhou or Yizhou, there will be snow in winter, but it is not as big as the north. Hu Jian’s cousins ​​in the north and Guangxi should have seen snow when they were young, right?)
Cai Mao shook his head and said, "It is said that the Indochina Peninsula is like spring all year round, and there is no snow at all."

"This……"

Liu Biao and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. Is there any place in this world where it doesn't snow?

Liu Bei looked regretful. The reason why he focused on the Indochina Peninsula south of Jiaozhou was because of the unique climate of this place. If he could harvest food all year round, it would be a huge fortune.

It's a pity that that brat Sun Ce got there first.

"I didn't expect there to be such a magical territory in this world. If I knew it earlier..." Liu Biao said, and suddenly looked at Liu Bei who looked annoyed, and said with a smile: "No wonder Xuande is so anxious. It turns out that he knew this place a long time ago. It's extraordinary."

Liu Bei frowned slightly, he was too lazy to be angry with him, instead he asked Cai Mao: "Brother Degui, in your opinion, is there any hope for us to go south? Look here, if we go to the sea from Gaoliang County, Jiaozhou, it should be feasible. .”

Cai Mao shook his head and sighed: "Xuande has figured it out, people and horses can reach the coast, but what about our boat? Could it be that we can't build a boat until we reach the seaside?"

Liu Bei was stunned, nodded embarrassingly, and looked at the second plan, from the Yangtze River estuary all the way down, it would be farther, and it is estimated that it would not be possible to reach it within two or three months of voyage.

Liu Biao and the others looked at each other, and Cai Mao persuaded, "Xuande, you should stop expecting Jiaonan. Compared with Jiaonan, Wa Island is more convenient. Our boats only need to enter the sea along the Yangtze River. Then go northward along the ocean current and you will arrive at Wa Island."

Liu Bei sighed helplessly. At this time, the second and third brothers were still in Jiaozhou, but he couldn't wait any longer.

If you don't do meritorious deeds, you will be left far behind by others.

After hesitating for a while, he nodded and said: "Then as you wish, let Liu go to borrow troops. After taking Wa Island, I hope Brother Liu can keep his promise."

Liu Biao and Cai Mao looked at each other, nodded and said: "Of course, you want the credit, I want the land, and the credit is useless to me, it is robbed of yours, can it be that Wei Jun can give Liu a king?"

Liu Bei thought it was the same, you Liu Jingsheng still had a feud with Wei Jun for killing his son.

"Since that's the case, let's split up. Mr. Liu will visit Mr. Wei, and Brother Jing Sheng will go to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to explore the way. If we can get Gongsun Zan's help, our plan on Wa Island will be more effective."

Liu Biao laughed, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Okay, then there will be Lao Xuande."

Liu Bei also picked up the wine glass, glanced at Liu Biao, and drank it down with a sullen face.
