The clouds were thick, flowing in the sob night wind, and the dim fields were filled with torches. Among the outlines of running figures, there were loud shouts of "Joy!" from time to time, running towards the city wall.

After the winter began, the war between Dantu and Guangling Pavilion in Xuzhou stopped for the time being. Jianye's defense showed no signs of slackness. It was late at night, and there were not many lights in the streets and alleys in the city. A thin-faced general and thick-bearded man inspected the city, patted the soldiers standing guard, gave a few words, and went forward again.

The light of the torches on the top of the city was scattered into a circle, and people came over with the torches. The leader was also a general named Quan Zong. He bowed to Zhu Huan opposite him: "Shut to work hard, I will leave it to Zong in the middle of the night."

"Just follow me to hand over, please!"

When Quan Zong made a gesture to him, a soldier's voice suddenly sounded: "Two generals, there are footsteps outside the city." The next moment, before Quan could wait for Quan, Zhu and the others asked, a rocket had shot out from the top of the city, and fell into the darkness with the light of fire. The fields outside the city, a soldier and horse that stretched out from the fire arrow stopped in front of the fire arrow.

Xilulu-

With a loud horse sound, the old man who was tying the reins shouted at the figures that looked over and looked at the head: "I am Huanggai, which general is on duty in the city? Please open the city gate for a convenient way!"

"So it's an old general..." Quan Zong glanced at Zhu Huan next to him. The latter pinched his chin and thick beard, squinted his eyes, and raised his hand to salute: "The old general is also a long-time general in the army. It should be known that the city gate will not be opened after dark, let alone that the general is not in Yangxian. If you run here, is there a lord who dispatches tokens?"

Huang Gai turned around and nodded. It was natural for the other party to not open the city gate at this time. Then Bai Qi rose from his words: "No, I like the lord, and I can ask for another one. The two generals hesitated and asked me to come to the city to meet the lord first, and then apologize to you."

"This is not possible... The lord has an order. This is when fighting. Be careful of the villain stealing the city at night, so the old general should wait until tomorrow to enter the city again..."

"shut up--"

The rising white air suddenly scattered by the sound of rising. On the back of the horse, Huang Gai raised his horse whip and pointed at the city, "I have served three ranks and fought in the north and south. Whenever I take the lead in the war, why did I become a slut in the city? Open the city gate quickly, and I want the lord!"

The old man was serious and resolute all his life, and his temperament was fierce and could not be mixed with sand. He was a general who came from Sun Jian. In terms of qualifications, how could these juniors offend? The two of them realized that they had a mistake just now. Now the other party started to get angry again. They were too much, which was a little bad. Quan Zong thought for a moment, "Open the city gate first and let the old general come in, Xiu Mu sent someone to inform the lord immediately."

"Well, I'm just thinking." Zhu Huan nodded, turned around and walked behind, and waved to the soldiers under the city: "Open the city gate and let the old general come in."

When Huang Gai heard the reply, he snorted and turned his head to the soldiers following him: "Come on guard, and the rest of them stay outside the city and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and brought dozens of personal guards into the city gate. When he faced the entire city wall, General Zhu bowed and thanked him, and rushed straight to the government office.

After three ranks, Huang Gai is one of the oldest and oldest among the civil and military officials in Jiangdong. He watched the descendants of the Sun family grow up little by little, and now occupy the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, the old man's feelings for Sun Ce are different from those of Sun Quan now. He almost taught his own abilities to fight one after another, just like watching his children grow up a generation of heroes. When there was news of Sun Ce, he felt indescribable excitement.

He traveled for four or five days in a row, hoping to make peace with the matter. The old man felt that no matter how troubles the family was, he was all brothers, and he could still return to the past. No matter how bad he was, he could shake hands and make peace. It would be good to share things with each other.

When I arrived at the entrance of the government office, the gate had been opened at this time. It seemed that I had received news that someone was waiting outside to invite the old man in. When I walked through the front yard, the guards in the back yard were not reduced, but they seemed quiet. When I arrived at the study, the servant who led the way bowed and retreated aside: "The master's family was reviewing official duties in the study, and the old general went in by himself."

On this side, Huang Gai waved to the guard behind him: "You are waiting nearby." He strode over and pushed open the door. The wooden door slowly opened in a unique low voice. The dusk lights were lying on the long-term case for handling official duties.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Sun Quan, wearing a fur coat, stopped writing and stretched out his hand to the old man who was bypassing the fire tripod: "The old general is not afraid of the wind and cold to hurt his body after returning to the city late at night, so take his seat quickly." Then, he invited the servant to pour warm wine.

"Thank you lord."

Huang Gai took the bronze lord handed over. The servant in Yu Guang bowed and left and closed the door, then put down the drinks, and bowed and said, "Lord, you should pay attention to your health when you are busy with official business. How can you deal with all the big and small affairs in Jiangdong alone? Otherwise, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others should beat the board."

Opposite, Sun Quan smiled and tightened the fur on his shoulders, his purple beard was still covered with a little wine, and raised his hand to tell him not to be too polite. "Quan is not as talented as his father and brother, so he has to work hard day and night to be worthy of the foundation left by his father and brother, and it is better than defeating him in his hands. Otherwise, it will be difficult to have the face to meet them in the future."

However, the old man in the seat did not respond, but just looked at the burning flames in the cauldron in silence.

After a while, Huang Gai took a breath, then his eyes turned to the purple-bearded and blue-eyed figure on the first place, and spoke first.

"When Gai was studying these wars in Yangxian, he accidentally found that the other party was quite familiar with the tactics of the water. There were several troops arranged in the hands of me. Gai thought that there should be someone from Jiangdong inside the other party."

His hand, which was pouring wine, stopped. Sun Quan raised his gaze and focused on the old man who was looking over. He looked at him for a moment. He suddenly nodded with a serious expression and slowly stood up: "As the old general said this, Quan was really a little surprised. If this is the case, who has learned the old general's military strategy?"

"There will be no one else, only Sun Bofu from Jiangdong." Huang Gai said this, and looked at Sun Quan who had stood up and walked out of the case, and his tone was calm and gentle: "Lord... you and Bofu are brothers after all. No matter how big the conflict is, there will be times when it is resolved. At most, there will be a fight between brothers. There is no revenge that cannot be dissolved, let alone you have no revenge at all."

Sun Quan stopped in front of the fire tripod, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes lowered: "It turns out... the old general has already known that Quan and his brother have no grudges, but the old general can't understand the matter in between. I also know that I have done something wrong, but when I think of my brother coming back from the Western Expedition, I, as a younger brother, caused trouble for him later, and I felt a little guilty and dared not face him..."

"Lord, these are all your guilt and thoughts as your younger brother. In fact, it is all small things after all. Gai doesn't believe that Bo Fu will make things difficult for this small thing." The old man took two steps to the other side, with a smile on his face and looked at Sun Quan with a kind look, "Two brothers, as long as things are told, they can always be resolved. Bo Fu is probably homesick, so..."

The lights at dusk swayed on the old man's smiling face, and his words paused. He raised his hand: "...... Gai went to the Dantu, and when there was no war, he personally crossed the river to meet Bo Fu and explained the matter clearly. If he was embarrassed to come back, Gai would fight him back even if he resisted, and let you brothers lock them in the house and explain the matter clearly. How about it?"

In the room, the burning fire tripod was like a wall between the two of them. Sun Quan looked at each other for a while with a smile on his face, nodded slightly red, and bowed down.

"So... I thank the veteran general for fulfilling my brotherly friendship."

...

The Ye Feng ran over the eaves with a roar. The old man with a red face and a smile came out of the house with satisfaction and left with his personal guards. The door behind him slowly closed in the middle, and Sun Quan in the gap looked at the weapons hanging on the wall for a while.

Soon, Zhou Tai, who was burly and strong, walked in with Jia and stood silently at the door.

"In the previous words, Huang Gongfu was vaguely suspicious of surrendering to the enemy. Tomorrow morning, you should take people to follow him and see where he was going. If he went to the opposite side of the river..."

Sun Quan closed his eyes, raised his head and closed his eyes.

"...just kill him."
