Logically speaking, this time should be the most energetic time of the day, although if time moves further back, perhaps this time is also the time of the day when human activity is the least active.
Although I can now feel the sun's enthusiasm enough, at least it is still within a tolerable range.
It's just that today's situation seems slightly different.
Most of the streets have lost their former crowds, and the fields in the suburbs have also lost the presence of hard-working farmers. The entire city and most of its surrounding areas seem to have lost their original functions and become like "
A ghost town exists.
Could it be that something appalling happened in this city?
No, if you focus your eyes on both sides of the road outside the south gate of this city and the avenue that runs through the central axis of the city, you will find that even if it has gradually reached the hottest temperature of the day
time period, but still can't stop the various people who continue to gather here like a swarm of ants - there are officials, businessmen, soldiers, and more of them ordinary people - probably people from the whole city and surrounding areas come.
Here it is.
The soldiers are trying their best to maintain order in various places, but compared with the surging people, they are like a small boat in the raging waves. Even if they can survive from the raging waves, they will be swallowed by the giant waves next time.
It still makes people worry, giving people a feeling of "they will never come back."
This is just that everyone is waiting aside. I really don’t know what it will be like when the person they are waiting for arrives?
Perhaps the scene will get even more out of control, even like the pilgrimage to Mecca that takes place every year in another dimension, with scenes of human tragedies and comedies constantly being staged. But even so. In the second year, it still cannot prevent the arrival of a new round of déjà vu.
"Gongjin, I read that right. Today...are these the people who welcome us back after our victory?"
"I don't know. Although with your reputation in Jiangdong, it's not unusual for people to come out to welcome you. And in order to please Bo Fu, the proper lord of Jiangdong, the local officials organized people to come out to welcome you.
It's very possible, but it's such a grand event
The scene includes not only the people who are still gathering, but also the children of the aristocratic families who usually treat us without pretense. This matter is worth pondering. But I don’t know that there are other people in this Jiangdong place besides you Bo Fu.
Who can be a part of this grand occasion?"
"My lord, I heard that there is a divine man in this land east of the Yangtze River. He was originally from Langxie. He once obtained more than a hundred volumes of immortal books from the Yangqu Spring and presented them to Emperor Shun. Later, he often traveled between Wuhui and Qingxu.
During the period, he made talisman water to treat people, so it was praised by various places."
"If it's true as Mr. Cheng said, wouldn't this person be just like the original demon Zhang Jiao?"
"This... is probably different. After all, Zhang Jiao has only been able to win people's hearts for ten years, while that god-man has been doing good deeds for nearly a hundred years. Whether it is his lifespan or his words and deeds, he is enough to be regarded as a god."
"Haha, Bo Fu actually has no confidence in his own charm? It doesn't matter. After all, we don't have much time to come to Jiangdong, so naturally we can't compare with each other. But as long as Bo Fu you don't change your original intention, who is the natural way for the people of Jiangdong?
He is the one who can really make them live a good life. It’s just Fu Shui, it’s just a trail.”
"Gong Jin, there is no need to provoke me. Even if that guy is really a demon, I, Sun Bofu, will not be afraid of him at all."
"In this case, why not let me get in touch with him and test his attitude towards us? If he is willing to be good to us, it will be a good thing for us to establish a foothold in Jiangdong. If he is really as powerful as those aristocratic families.
If you insist on being our enemy, when that time comes, it will not be too late for us to think about how to deal with it."
"Forget it, it would be nice if that person was really willing to help me. I have already wasted too much time. Too much time!"
After saying that, Sun Ce suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the progress of his horse. Cheng Pu beside him immediately waved his hand back when he saw this, and the troops following them continued to give orders one after another, but it was useless.
After a while, the troops that were still marching stopped completely and stopped there quietly without making a sound.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu on his left and right showed satisfied expressions.
However, Sun Ce's brows did not relax for long before he frowned again.
"What you just meant are that these people outside the city want to welcome the demon?"
"But it's only temporary. You will definitely gain greater support in the future, Bo Fu~"
"Yes, my lord, I am just a Taoist. My lord is a person with great ambitions. Why should I compete with such people?"
"Hmph! I don't know if this is something created by those wealthy families who have been defying me openly and covertly. Since the demon is so famous, why have I never heard of it before? He has not come back for a long time, but he has not come back for a long time, but it happened when I came back
Returning from the Army Day, and coming to the same city as me, you are absolutely not sure, this is too much of a coincidence!"
"This..." Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu looked at each other, but they were really speechless.
After all, this incident is indeed what Sun Ce said, and it is really... too much of a coincidence.
"So, pass on my order! All soldiers, unsheathed their swords, stringed their bows, and the whole army is ready for battle! Although Li Xue of Bingzhou is a cunning man, he is not as good as his father who fought hard for the great man but gained a higher status, but at least he
If you do something, you will definitely win.
He has a tougher attitude towards the rich and powerful than his father! If my father could have been more decisive back then, perhaps there would not have been the humiliation of a good man from my Sun family having to fight for that treacherous villain Yuan Shu.
thing!"
"Bo Fu..."
"Don't worry, Gong Jin, I have my own sense of proportion. If those guys know how to advance or retreat, I will not embarrass them. Just like you said, I want to manage Jiangdong into the richest place in the Han Dynasty, and let the world know that my grandson
Bo Fu’s ability!”
"Since you have made up your mind, Bo Fu, do you still need me, Zhou Yu, to put on a brilliant performance for you?"
"Sure enough, the only person who can be in sync with me is you, Gongjin!"
"Only flowers can understand the thoughts of flowers, and they will let those ignorant people rest in peace under the playing of solemn funeral songs."
Of course, I don't know when. Cheng Pu couldn't help but feel that he was far away from this place where even the air was full of sweet smell. Although his little lord and his friend were a pair in the sky and a pair in the earth, there was something about them.
That aura when...
Anyway, for a normal northern man like Cheng Pu, it is still somewhat difficult to accept.
"Demo, why did you suddenly become so stunned? Could it be that you did it earlier before you reached your age..."
"So don't touch me at this time!!!"
Even Han Dang's normal greeting had become a little strange in Cheng Pu's eyes.
Of course, you can also think that if the person greeting you at this time was Huang Gai, Cheng Pu probably wouldn't find it unacceptable.
Ahem, back to the main story. In short, Sun Cejun, who was preparing to go home quietly and comfortably, had to re-enter the state of combat readiness due to the sudden order. The murderous aura that had just returned from the battlefield had not dissipated.
Spewing out.
It feels like a quiet Hutch suddenly transformed into a majestic Tibetan Mastiff.
Um, isn't this gap a bit too big?
The crowd still seems to be gathering.
Everyone was looking forward to it. Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the middle of the road. Everyone was crowded and wanted to move forward. The pressure on the soldiers who maintained order and the powerful private soldiers was increasing. It was already there.
They were like a small boat in the huge waves. At this moment, they felt like the embankment was about to be washed away. It seemed that they would be completely swallowed by the huge waves in the next moment.
Suddenly, the crowd seemed to calm down.
Then, huge cheers erupted, and the order of the crowd became even worse.
All this happened entirely because of the smoke and dust rising from a distance, and even the people with sharp ears seemed to hear the sound of solemn music, which penetrated into the heart, making people unable to help but respect the visitors from afar.
However, compared to the madness of the common people, the children of those powerful families, especially those with military experience, could not help but frown. Because the billowing smoke and dust seemed to be much different from what they expected in terms of shape and scale.
different.
This is definitely not the person they should be waiting for!
But who could show up to them with such a huge momentum at this time?
These children of the aristocratic family who had not received any news before could not help but look at each other in silence.
But at least they knew how to send the old mother, wife and children who came here back home. Even if the old mother, wife and children were not willing to leave, they forced them to retreat to a less conspicuous place in the city. Anyway, if the people they were waiting for arrived here later,
Due to their status, it may not be easy to pick up the family members from the rolling crowd, but it is definitely not too difficult.
It may not be an exaggeration to call this a matter of experience.
Finally, as more and more people heard the elegant voice rolling forward in the air, the servants who were sent out to investigate had also returned, and the news that these people brought back in unison made all the disciples of the aristocratic families present.
Everyone shuddered!
The banner with the character Sun is flying high, surrounded by war flags with the characters Zhou, Cheng, Huang and so on.
This is the army of Sun Ce, the new overlord of Jiangdong who has swept Jiangdong unrivaled in a short period of time.
After receiving this answer, the children of the aristocratic families once again looked at each other.
No, this is not scientific - this is probably the same thought and the same voice of all the disciples of the aristocratic families present.
Although they also knew that Sun Ce had just led his troops to eliminate the powerful Shanyue rebels in Danyang County, and had threatened Yuzhang Governor Hua Xin to surrender, it was the day when his squadron returned in triumph. But this had something to do with them.
What's the relationship?!
Even if Sun Ce returns, he should return to Wu County, the seat of Wu County, but he should not come to Lou County, which is a hundred miles away from Wu County. Even if Sun Ce himself is a road fool, the people around him
Generals like Zhou Gongjin, Huang Gongfu, and Cheng Demou, and plotters like Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song, and Chen Duan should not all have become road idiots.
Since such a possibility cannot be explained in any case, then there may be only one explanation left.
Considering that Sun Ce has had a bad relationship with most of the powerful families in Jiangdong since he entered Jiangdong, and there are a large number of powerful children and relatives from Wujun and surrounding families gathered here, the purpose of Sun Ce's sudden change of direction may be because of bad intentions!
As children of aristocratic families, most of them have guessed such a possibility. Although they feel that Sun Ce's aggressive war can only have a limited effect on them, but if they just want to show off their power, the current situation is indeed very difficult.
It is suitable. Even the children of these aristocratic families have to admit that Sun Ce's move is indeed a good move just from the perspective of suppressing their momentum. Even under the current general trend, they cannot
Don't bow to Sun Ce.
It seems that even though there was a lot of resistance in his heart at first, on the surface, the powerful Bingzhou family who had been repaired had to maintain even superficial respect for Li Shushi.
It may not seem to be of much use. After all, those families from the north to the south will obviously not do all kinds of small tricks secretly when they are unwilling to admit it. But once the status is determined, in fact, as a superior person,
With a lot of control, as long as you are not too stupid or encounter force majeure from the outside world, you can always turn this advantage into a victory.
Just like in Go, many people would rather lose a few points to gain the lead.
However, these powerful families have no good way to deal with such a situation - leave? There are so many soldiers and people in front of them. If their behavior is known to Sun Ce, it is completely giving people authority; then stay? Then it is obviously
Bowing to Sun Ce, even if it is only temporary, is not in everyone's interest as just said.
Who came up with this idea really makes people want to strangle him to death a hundred times.
Amid the helpless expressions on the faces of the children of the aristocratic families, and the cheers of the unknown onlookers who were still crowded, Sun Ce and his extremely powerful army played a beautiful and solemn tone while flashing a disturbing cold light.
The weapon appeared in front of Lou County, probably in front of a group of people who were waiting for the god-man or who didn't know who they were waiting for.
"The magistrate of Lou County, Huang Xian, led the officials and people in the county to respectfully welcome the victorious return of General Sun Tuini!"
Just when the people were still hesitant about the murderous army that suddenly appeared in front of them, and the attitude of the children of the aristocratic family towards Sun Ce, as the highest official in charge of this place, Huang Xian, who was born in the Anlu Huang family of Jingzhou's wealthy family, had already
He came out of the crowd and trotted all the way to Sun Ce, who had already stopped. He saluted him respectfully, but not only did his expression not have the slightest bit of flattery, but it showed just the right expression of confusion and worry.
He looked at Huang Xian in front of the horse, and then at the gentry and common people from Lou County and even from surrounding counties who were kneeling down under the leadership of Huang Xian. Sun Ce did not seem happy. He and Huang Xian had the same frown.
Suo seemed to be lost in thought.
Zhou Yu and others behind Sun Ce looked at each other with astonished expressions on their faces.
It seems... their destination should be Wu County, a hundred miles away from here. Why did they suddenly come to Lou County?
Almost instantly, both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu felt a strong sense of uneasiness and deep fear.
This obviously cannot be that everyone has lost their way collectively, but it is also impossible for ordinary people to be confused by this group of heroes, so the person or group of people hiding in the dark and peeping at Sun Cejun is really
It's so disturbing.
This just made them go to the wrong place. If that person or those people were to assassinate one of them, such as Sun Ce, the core of Sun Ce's army, what would the situation be like?
Maybe everything today, even the warning given by that person, may not be certain.
It was precisely because they thought about the result of having their fate in the hands of others that naturally everyone's expressions couldn't be better.
However, compared with this incident, what surprised Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others the most was Sun Ce's reaction.
"Are you the family under my rule? Tell me which families you are from, so that I can have a more comprehensive understanding of what kind of 'talented people' I have under my rule. However, you guys today
It's good that you can come to greet me, and I will reward you. Well, I will let you join my shogunate and be my ministers."
His face did not show any irritable emotions because of the thought of enemies peeping in the dark. Instead, he stood there very calmly and proudly as if nothing had happened, speaking with calm anticipation to those powerful people who had to bow to him.
He was given an extremely harsh "judgment", but the children of those aristocratic families had absolutely no room to resist.
Refuse? Not to mention dragging down the family, even the mother, wife and children who are closest to him will be the most direct threat.
Sun Ce's move made them all secretly hate it, but they also had to admit that Sun Ce's move was indeed right on target. He even had to pretend to be grateful - no matter how you look at this scene, it makes people feel...
Very weird.
The force is so strong that it is unimaginable, and then he has such skill and resourcefulness. This man...
After this battle, it might be a good thing for some guys with the shaky attribute.
After all, in this troubled world, for most people, they do not have the ability to become princes and fight for a world independently, so it seems not too bad for Siloto Qiaomu to be able to join Sun Ce, who seems to have unlimited potential.
the result.
After all, there are countless powerful princes in the world today, whether they are Li Shushi or Cao Cao. Their origins are not very good, especially the former. In the eyes of most aristocratic families, they are not even considered poor. But now, who can really say and do anything?
can be ignored.
And Sun Ce looks equally young, his skills are not inferior to Li Shushi, and he seems to be more powerful in terms of force. Some people may think that it is difficult to unite the north with the south, but don't forget that Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, the founding monarchs of the Han Dynasty, were
In the name of the Chu State, the southern princes ended the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Who knows that a similar miracle will not happen again with the "little overlord"?
Looking at the children of aristocratic families who kept prostrating themselves in front of him, as well as the merchants who were extremely good at judging the direction of the wind, and the people who were driven by these people for no other purpose than to create momentum, Sun Ce finally showed his face.
A little smile.
Perhaps there are indeed disturbing enemies hidden in the darkness, but who is Sun Bofu? He has a power in his body that even gods would tremble at. Even if gods stand in front of him and intend to hinder him, he
I dare to kill gods to show you!
Therefore, under Sun Ce's order, the triumphal entry ceremony that was originally supposed to be held in Wu County was temporarily rescheduled to Lou County. Although Lou County was completely unprepared to welcome the army's entry into the city and garrison, those who appeared here
The children of aristocratic families and wealthy merchants are the best solvers of this problem. The resources they can mobilize, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops behind Sun Ce, even if this number is doubled, it may not be enough for these people.
No problem at all.
Not long after, the entry ceremony of Sun Ce's regiment, which represented the strongest force in the Jiangdong region today, began with the music praising victory played by the military band.
Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of Jiangdong people, Sun Ce, who was handsome and somewhat evil-looking, stood high on a snow-white horse. Although he was not a legendary immortal figure, he still amazed the people of Jiangdong.
Not to mention that Zhou Yu behind him is also an extraordinary handsome man. Although Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's disciples are not as good as these two young men in their youthful and charming years, their strong muscles and weathered face are equally charming.
Giving everyone a sense of trust - youthful vigor and maturity are perfectly intertwined at this moment.
Not to mention that the troops that then slowly entered the city looked very heroic and murderous. It seemed that no one could stop them. They were like an unstoppable flood. Anyone who dared to resist would be destroyed.
They were completely defeated.
This is truly an amazing and memorable triumphal ceremony into the city.
On one side, he waved to the cheering people on both sides with a smile, but on the other side, he still focused most of his attention on searching for the enemy who didn't know where he was hiding. Although he couldn't get the desired result no matter how much he searched,
Sun Ce did not feel discouraged.
With the surrender of Hua Xin, the prefect of Yuzhang County, the four counties of Danyang, Wu, Kuaiji and Yuzhang in Jiangdong have now been nominally under the control of Sun Ce. He finally surpassed his father and made a fortune in these troubled times.
His identity truly belongs to him, to the inheritance of their Sun family, and he no longer has to rely on others and look at those disgusting faces.
"Liu Jingsheng, although I know that there is another hidden reason for my father's death, I, Sun Bofu, still want to avenge my father's murder!"
I don't know since when, his eyes have penetrated everything, looking towards the distant west.
There are beautiful memories of his first talents, but more of them are still the unforgettable hatred.
Last time, Liu Jingsheng won by luck, but this time, he won't be as lucky as before.
His Sun Bofu is completely different from his father, or it should be said that he is not on the same quantitative level at all! (To be continued...)
