Chapter 727 Empress Wu Lie 73
Wu Guotai read Zhuge Liang's letter too early, and he was really speechless when he saw that Sun Quanchi had slipped to the Liuxiang of Hunhua Street.This guy is likely to be reincarnated from a pervert, in response to the saying that nature is hard to change.
Seeing Sun Ce coming, she took the maid to take Ah Shao out to play for a while, and then asked Sun Ce straight to the point.
"Have you read the merit test that Cheng Demou sent back? Did he say anything about Zhongmou?"
"I've read it. He is very reliable in business affairs. Don't take Zhongmou's matter to heart, Aniang. I will send a private letter to tell Chenggong to be strict with him and treat him equally."
When Sun Ce saw that his mother knew what Sun Quan had done, he was afraid that Wu Guo would be too angry, so he urged him to persuade him.
Wu Guotai shook his head, "Since Cheng Demou didn't talk about it, don't tell Cheng Demou to strictly restrain Zhongmou. He leads the army outside, so you don't worry about him in case he gets suspicious. Zhongmou's nature is just like that. It can't be changed. Don't let the wind leak out in the mansion. I think Mrs. Xie seems to be pregnant. It's not good to let her know about it. After Zhongmou finishes his two-year military service, you have to keep him by your side and watch over him. gone."
Sun Ce nodded in agreement, thanks to his mother's timely reminder, otherwise it would be bad to make Cheng Pu suspicious.He secretly spat at himself that he couldn't be considerate when it came to his family members, and Mr. Shui Jing's words were still short.But I still have to write a letter to Zhuge Liang, let him put Sun Quan in prison, and don't go out to embarrass him again.
After talking about Sun Quan, both mother and son felt relaxed.Just because of the good weather, Da Qiao brought A Mian over.The little girl who could already sit up was dazzled by Ashao who was dressed in bright red dresses and swaddling clothes.Fortunately, A Mian is chubby, fair and beautiful, with big black eyes rolling back and forth, looking around curiously, and at first glance, he is a smart, cute and clever child.
Sun Ce is a person who likes children very much.He stretched out his hand to take A Mian from Da Qiao's arms, teasing his daughter and saying Da Qiao: "It's not too close to the east courtyard, next time let the nanny hold it for you, so as not to hurt your arm."
Da Qiao nodded with a smile, and responded gently, "Okay, listen to you."
Ah Shao came in at the corner of Da Qiao's skirt, and when he heard that the nanny was going to hug his younger sister, he immediately ran to Sun Ce, shouting, "I'll hug me."
Da Qiao quickly stretched out his hand to pull his son, "Ah Shao, you go to Grandma's place. You can't hug your younger sister now, and when you grow up to Ah Weng's height, you will have the strength to hug your younger sister, okay?"
Ah Shao turned his eyes and looked up at his father. He was too close and his neck was tilted back too far. He squatted on Da Qiao's feet.
Wu Guotai reached out to pull him up, and Da Qiao smiled and said, "As long as A Mian is awake, he wants to hug his sister, but the nanny can't help him, so he has to bend over to support A Mian's baby."
"That's more tiring than the nanny holding the baby by herself."
Wu Guotai clapped his hands to A Mian, and the little girl reached out to hug her.Holding Ah Mian over, smelling her milky scent, Wu Guotai said emotionally: "At that time, Ah Shao was in Bo Fu's arms and no one could carry him away."
Sun Ce held Ah Shao in his arms and said proudly: "My son, he is naturally the closest to me."
Wu Guotai and Da Qiao exchanged glances, smiled and ignored Sun Ce.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law teased the little girl while listening to Ah Shao muttering stories to Sun Ce.
"The little horse asked the big ox, 'Is the river deep?' The ox said, 'If it's not deep, it's up to his legs." As he said that, Ashao stood up and measured it on his own legs.
Sun Ce asked Ah Shao, "And then Xiao Ma believed it?"
"Yeah. It's about to cross the river. The lamb rushed to stop it, 'Little horse, the river is too deep to drown people.'"
……
Da Qiao had already heard Ah Shao tell her that the pony had crossed the river a few times, but she still listened with a gentle smile, and nodded encouragingly when Ah Shao looked over.When Ah Shao finished speaking, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
Seeing his mother applaud him, Ah Shao grabbed Sun Ce's hand and asked him to applaud too.
"Ah Shao's story is really good. What did grandma say at the end?" Sun Ce also heard him tell this story, but he still asked his son very much.
"You have to think for yourself, not just listen to what others say."
Seeing that his son remembered the last sentence firmly, Sun Ce happily slapped him on the buttocks, "I woke up in the afternoon, and I will take you to ride a big horse."
Wu Guotai scolded Sun Ce, "You came to trick him into riding a big horse again. If you ride a big horse, you won't ride his small horse."
Sun Ce looked at his mother and smiled without answering. Boys should like tall horses, but if they dismounted, they were for little girls to ride on. Even Ah Ren didn't like them.
Ah Shao was very happy to hear that he could ride a big horse, clapped his hands and cheered happily, how could riding a big horse and a small horse be the same.
"Grandma, I like Malaysia."
The little girl in Wu Guotai's arms was infected by the excited Ah Shao, and she clapped her hands and followed, "Ah, ah", and Da Qiao lovingly wiped off her daughter's saliva.
"Mother, there are also white spots on the bottom of Ah Mian, it seems to be teething again."
"That's right. Be careful. Children are most likely to have fever and diarrhea before teething."
"Hmm. I'll be careful."
Sun Ce was afraid that Ah Shao would fall, so he opened his arms and hugged his son who was jumping happily.Looking at the wife who talked softly with her mother, the so-called quiet years and family happiness are like this.
Shouchun is peaceful here, but Liu Bei, who is far away in Hanzhong County, Yizhou, is nervous and frowning.Sun Ce sent three armies to attack Yizhou, and the nearest Badong and Brazil counties had been captured by Zhou Yu.He was very worried, wondering if Sun Ce would send troops from Weixing County to attack.
Seeing that Liu Bei was in a low mood, Zhang Fei persuaded him, "We fell into Sun Ce's tricks last time in Xuzhou. This time we will fight head-on with soldiers and generals. We may not lose to them."
Liu Bei sighed, "Yide, Hanzhong County's troops are limited, and it is difficult to resist Sun Ce's army."
Sun Qian followed Liu Bei from Xuzhou, and Jian Yong was Liu Bei's younger brother. Both of them were a little worried about the current situation.Seeing that Sun Ce meant to take all of Yizhou steadily, it is a pity that the world is so big that there is no place for them to stay.
Zhang Fei said disapprovingly, "Let's conscript."
Sun Qian said to Zhang Fei: "Conscription is necessary, but there is not enough iron, and the recruiter needs to practice before he can go to battle."
Zhang Fei was discouraged by what Sun Qian said.
Jian Yong said, "Why don't I go to see Liu Zhang and ask him for two thousand soldiers."
Everyone knew that Jian Yong's proposal was impossible to realize. Now that Liu Zhang was about to be cornered by Sun Ce's army, he would have to thank all the gods and Buddhas if he didn't withdraw the troops from Hanzhong County.
But I am afraid of what will come.The next day, Bie Jia sent by Liu Zhang to work on Zhang Song, came to ask Liu Bei to transfer his troops back.
Liu Bei entertained Zhang Song politely, "Zi Qiao, you see, the army of Soochow has already occupied Badong and Brazil counties, and the east of Hanzhong is Weixing County. If you send these [-] soldiers back, I'm afraid that Hanzhong County will take over." Throw it away. Yizhou's door is wide open."
Zhang Song also knew that it was not appropriate to transfer soldiers back at this time.But Liu Zhang had an order, he had to obey, had to make this trip.
"Uncle Liu Huang, to tell you the truth, I am afraid that Yizhou will be in danger. Wherever Sun Ce's army went, the people took refuge in the soldiers and defected. Less than half of the garrison soldiers in Guanghan County ran away, and they all went to Brazil County. Surrender to Sun Ce."
Liu Bei was shocked, "How could Sun Ce let the Yizhou people's soldiers go to him?"
"Well, it is rumored that Sun Ce rents out all the land to the common people for farming, and only needs [-]% of the grain, and then there is no other tax or corvee. Why don't the common people run after him?"
"Thirty percent, so little?" Liu Bei received forty percent when he was in Xuzhou, and the common people were still grateful.
Zhang Song whispered to Liu Bei: "Sun Ce doesn't give half an acre of land to aristocratic families, and his civil servants and generals don't give land. All the land in Jiangdong belongs to him. How can there be less land in his hands?"
"Then his generals are willing?"
Zhang Song frowned, "I'm also wondering about this."
Zhang Song lingered here for two days, Liu Bei thanked Liu Bei for sending a lot of gifts, and finally Zhang Song only took away a thousand soldiers.
Zhang Fei and Jian Yong sent Zhang Song far away, and Jian Yong said to Zhang Song: "Zi Qiao, Liu Yizhou has to rely on you to be considerate."
Zhang Song agreed again and again, and led his soldiers to detour through Zitong County to Guanghan County.But how could he have thought that Zitong County still belonged to Liu Zhang when he came out, and Zitong County had changed owners when he returned.
The 500 soldiers led by Zhang Song happened to meet the 1000 soldiers led by Pang Tong and Sima Yi who were routinely patrolling around Zitong County. The [-] soldiers were less than half of them. And Sima Yi was captured.
Seeing that Zhang Song was not an ordinary soldier, Pang Tong and Sima Yi asked Zhang Song a few words and reported his identity, and then they were brought to Zhou Yu because of his identity as Yizhou Biejia.
Zhang Song is ordinary in appearance, not tall, and very inconspicuous, and he is one of those who cannot be found in the crowd of lost people.Because Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are both talented and beautiful people, seeing that Zhang Song has an ordinary appearance but can achieve a special position, he belongs to the category of people who do not show their talents.
"Don't you say you're from Yizhou? What's the evidence?" Zhou Yu asked in a deep voice while sitting in the tent of the Chinese army.
Without waiting for others to force him, Zhang Song fell to his knees with a thud, and spit out everything about Yizhou.
Zhou Yu looked at Pang Tong, and Pang Tong looked at Sima Yi. The eyes of the three turned back and forth. No one thought that Zhang Song was such a person.
Zhou Yu was still very interested in him at first, and wanted to call Zhang Song down. It can be seen that he was so afraid of death, so he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to release him and let him go back to Liu Zhang's side.
Zhang Song escaped with his life from the camp of Soochow, and crawled back to Guanghan County, Yizhou, hugging Liu Zhang and crying loudly.
"My lord, Sun Ce's Eastern Wu army has already occupied Zitong County."
Liu Zhang was timid at first, but Zhang Song immediately panicked when he cried.
Zhang Su is Zhang Song's elder brother, he scolded Zhang Song loudly when he saw Zhang Song's disobedience.
"Zi Qiao, get up and talk properly. My lord asked you to go to Hanzhong County to transfer soldiers back. How are you doing?"
Zhang Song choked with sobs and replied: "I only managed to transfer a thousand people. On the way back, I encountered the Eastern Wu army, and the soldiers broke up."
Zhang Su knew that his brother was afraid of death, so there was no point in continuing to question him.So he bowed his hands and saluted Liu Zhang.
"My lord, Ziqiao is in shock. I'll take her back to recuperate for a few days and come back to see my lord."
Seeing Zhang Song's appearance, Liu Zhang was also terrified. He waved his hands to let the Zhang brothers back down, and went to discuss the way out with the civil and military officials.
