The Collection of The End

——AD 184——

Xuzhou City, barracks.

Since Sun Jian himself was a participant in this "battle" initiated by Zhu Bing, and his Five Thousand Pieces were originally in the barracks, he decided to respond to Zhu Jun's proposal and only need to come to the barracks to "report".

However, even so, he was not the first to arrive. On the general platform, in addition to Zhu Jun who carried his cousin straight to the barracks, there was also the only scholar who stayed at the celebration banquet, the wealthy businessman Mi Zhu Mizi. Zhong, as well as Tao Qian, Tao Gongzu, the chief historian.

The former controls the money and food life of Xuzhou, and the latter is the first person under the governor. If Zhu Jun suddenly takes out an official document and dismisses Zhu Bing, then unless he names another person as the governor, Tao Qian will automatically become the acting governor, and will be extremely likely to do so. It is possible to become a regular employee.

When Sun Jian arrived, Zhu Jun only glanced at him briefly, while "smart people" like Mi Zhu and Tao Qian, who had already figured out the situation, smiled and nodded at Xuzhou's "right-hand man".

After Sun Jian returned the salute with clasped fists, he stood on the military side and began to observe the situation in the military camp and the generals arriving one after another.

As a large city, Xuzhou has enclosed the entire military camp within the city wall, but in order to facilitate entry and exit and avoid disturbing the residents, the location is still on the edge of the city wall.

As for the reason for "disturbing the people", it is the daily training. In addition to daily physical exercise, there are also "combat skills training" in which individual generals participate, also known as "small training", as well as "confrontation drills" organized by multiple generals. Also known as “big practice” – both very noisy behaviors.

At this time, the lower-level soldiers who were not qualified to participate in the celebration banquet, such as corps commanders and soldiers, saw the arrival of their superiors and began to train their soldiers hard - so the noise became even more noisy.

After that, more generals and civil servants arrived one after another, and even some flatterers who obviously had no merit but wanted to take advantage of the situation were mixed in.

In the end, the civil and military officials who gathered for Zhu Jun's "big event" included:

Long Shi Tao Qian, the meritorious officer was in charge of Mi Zhu, the Fu army was in charge of Zhang Zhao, the Xiaopei Prime Minister Zhao Yu, the cavalry captain Zang Ba and his generals Sun Guan and Yili, the dianong school captain Chen Deng, the governor was in charge of Wang Lang, and the bieji was in charge Cao Bao, Cao Hong, Xia Piling Sun Jian and their generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Zu Maohe [ ].

Generally speaking, civilian officials are just here to join in the fun. Maybe they can lead troops, but if they cannot use "combat skills", these troops can only rely on their own qualities to fight the enemy head-on. That is a very unfavorable behavior, so they are usually only allowed to They lead archers who do not require much combat skills, while infantry and cavalry are led by generals who are proficient in at least one "combat skill".

Of course, if someone can use the "combat skills" of archers, such rare generals will not let him command infantry and cavalry.

In addition, if the generals master different levels of Wushuang, it will also have an impact on the commander-in-chief's arrangements. Forget about things like Cheng Pu's "Underwater Breathing".

Among this group of people, apart from the military position of "Diannong Xiaowei", which is in charge of agriculture, and the civilian position of "Biejiazheng", which is in charge of chariots and horses, only Zang Ba and Sun Jian, who also have deputy generals, can be called generals. After the two people arrived, they started to look at each other.

And Zhu Jun's next order was not unexpected by the two of them:

"Wentai, Xuan Gao, you two will each choose a song from the middle of the camp and have a 'big practice'. The winner can be the vanguard."

Although they still didn’t know what they were going to do, both of them were obviously unwilling to hand over victory to others, so Sun Jian and Zang Ba responded in unison as if they were competing to see who had the loudest voice:

"Here!!"

————

The outskirts of Xiapi.

"You two young masters, please come back." The girl in the red dress with twin ponytails pulled back the girl in the yellow shirt who was staring at Sun Ce and Zhou Yu with big eyes. "My grandfather is old and incompetent in government affairs. He is really unable to take up his post." The position of 'Da Honglu'."

"In addition, the words that my sister-in-law said about 'bullying the young with the big one' were negative words. She did not want the elders of the two young masters to send lobbyists of the same age.

"She paused, raised her bright black eyes and glanced at Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and the wild boar at the door: "As for the sentence 'It was a puppy that broke in', it does not mean that it can be used as a 'pig'. Break the door. "

"That -" Sun Ce, who was confused after hearing this, was about to ask a question, but felt a tap on his shoulder, so he immediately shut up - at this time, it was always right to leave it to Zhou Yu.

"Although it is impossible to serve as a director, there should be no problem in just taking up this position." Zhou Yu took two steps forward and said: "Dahonglu is responsible for the etiquette in the court. If no one serves as a director, it will be 'rude'." However, if it is occupied by Shi Chang's subordinates, then the 'collapse of rituals and music' is what my grandfather wants to see?"

"This..." The girl in red was at a loss for words and began to move her eyes to formulate a rebuttal.

Oh... As expected of Gong Jin, he organized a set of rhetoric that sounded very reasonable just from unrelated words such as "Shi Chang Shi", "Da Honglu", "Grandfather", etc. Sun Ce secretly admired it from the side road.

"Hey! Your pig broke the courtyard door! We won't listen to you if you don't fix it!" Seeing that her sister was at a disadvantage, the girl in a yellow shirt with a ponytail immediately jumped out and shouted.

"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu turned around and called Sun Ce.

"Yes, yes." Sun Ce spread his hands and stepped forward to wake up the wild boar and send it away. Then he picked up the tree that was knocked down by it and threw it aside. Finally, he raised the fallen courtyard door with one arm. After breaking off the rivets a few times to restore them to their original shape, I re-nailed the courtyard door to the frame with my bare hands.

"Hey -" This time it was the girl in the yellow shirt who was so frightened that she backed away: "What, what? Do you want to hit someone if you can't say it? You have some weird power, don't you?"

"I/this young master didn't mean that/that." Sun Ce and the girl in the red dress spoke in subtle synchronization.

The two looked at each other. Sun Ce shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that the other party should speak first.

"I just thought about it again. There was no such big tree outside the door where my grandfather lived in seclusion. Moreover, these two young masters also have different characteristics from any nephews and nephews from aristocratic families in Luoyang. In addition, my grandfather once said that if you see the courtyard, If there is a white light above the door or courtyard wall, no entry or exit is allowed," the girl in the red skirt said in a soothing tone: "From this, it can be inferred that this is no longer the suburbs of Luoyang, and the wild boar was just being hunted, and it happened to be... That’s all, you two young masters, are my guesses correct?”

"Ah... um." Sun Ce responded vaguely. Although the wild boar was a mount and not a prey, seeing how confident the girl was, it was better not to expose this unimportant matter.

"Ah!" The girl in the yellow shirt jumped up and raised her finger to point at Zhou Yu: "You must have made up what you just said after hearing what we said! Big liar!"

"No." Zhou Yu rejected it without hesitation.

"ah?"

"this……"

"Huh? Not really?"

Zhou Yu looked helplessly at Sun Ce and raised his finger in the direction of Luoyang in the northwest: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the information revealed by Sister Xian is enough. In Luoyang, where Shi Changshi is so powerful, she can be trusted and recommended by the ministers. There will be no more than ten officials working for Da Honglu to maintain rituals and music. From the girl's appearance, we can also infer the age of this 'grandfather'. Coupled with the fact that he lives in seclusion and does not care about worldly affairs, the owner of this place It is most likely Lord Qiao Xuanqiao who served as Situ for many years, but resigned angrily and lived in seclusion after the Shi Changshi took power from many parties."

"Wow... I actually guessed it right..." the girl in the yellow shirt responded blankly. This reaction made the girl in the red skirt angry and poked her waist - she clearly meant "possibly".

"If we want to speculate further," Zhou Yu continued: "It is impossible to take care of an old man with just two girls who have not yet reached the age of hair. There should be another blood relative in the house. Lord Qiao's eldest son Qiao Yu, at this time He was appointed as the Prime Minister of Yuzhou, so it is impossible to be here, so the person who will be here must be the second son, Qiao Feng, who once claimed to have severed ties with Lord Qiao."

"Hey! You're not allowed to call your father by his given name! At least you have to add your father's name!" the girl in yellow shirt shouted.

"This 'Lord Qiao Feng'," Zhou Yu changed his words calmly: "When he was young, he was captured by a small group of Turkic aliens at the border. After learning his identity, the other party tried to blackmail Lord Qiao Xuan, but Lord Qiao Xuan ordered The troops under my command destroyed the alien race regardless of my son’s life or death.”

Obviously, Sun Ce had never heard of such a thing, and it was the first time for the two girls to know the inside story of the discord between their father and grandfather, and they exclaimed in surprise when they heard this.

"Perhaps due to good luck, Mr. Qiao Feng escaped death in the end, but he could not forgive his father for his decision. He declared to sever ties, removed the wooden character next to his surname, and took Qiao as his surname," Zhou Yu continued: "However, This act was highly praised by Emperor Huan, who issued a decree stating that when a prisoner takes a hostage, the pursuer can arrest him regardless of the safety of the hostage. This decree is still in effect today."

"This, this, this -" the girl in yellow shirt looked very dissatisfied: "What kind of random fate is this!"

"Oh, so the two girls' last names don't have 'Qiao' next to the character "木"?" Sun Ce grasped the key point.

"Please forgive me for not telling outsiders my maiden name," the girl in the red dress said to Sun Ce, "Young master, you can call us 'Da Qiao' and 'Xiao Qiao'."

"What if we have younger brothers and sisters?" the girl in yellow shirt "Xiao Qiao" shouted, "I'd better call you 'Er Qiao'~"

"It sounds awful!" "Da Qiao" retorted.

"What about 'Jojo'?"

"no."

Why does a temporary codename have to be so particular? Sun Ce was confused.

Boom, boom, boom.

There were dull footsteps on the two-story building in the courtyard, and then there was a man wearing a prairie-style long coat, an indigo turban on his head, and a brown cloak on his back. He had a resolute appearance, a slight beard on his chin, and there seemed to be some strange pattern on his chest. The tall man came out.

"Abi, Azi," he said in a slightly magnetic, hoarse, but manly voice: "Take those two little babies upstairs, your grandfather wants to see them."

"..." Qiao Bi and Qiao Zi, who were still struggling to think of codenames, were stunned.

"Information update," Zhou Yu read: "This 'Lord Qiao Feng' was not lucky, but was rescued by a foreign woman in the process of 'ignoring the safety of the hostages', and her name is probably related to the color related."

Going further, his move to sever ties is probably not unilateral. Master Qiao Xuan, who was once Situ, will definitely not accept a foreign daughter-in-law, but there is no need to say this... Zhou Yu thought.

"Ahaha..." Xiao Qiao said with a bit of annoyance: "My mother doesn't have a Chinese name. Her name means red or red in Turkic language, and my father always calls her -"

"A'Zhu." Da Qiao answered.
