"The information coming back these days is really overwhelming."
The decisive battle between Yuan and Cao, or the battle between Yuan and Cao plus the combined state army to determine the northern hegemony, obviously could not only concern the northern princes. In fact, except for Yizhou, a corner of the country with no traffic, all the people in the world were concerned about it.
All the princes are concerned about this battle that may determine the ownership of the world in the eyes of most people.
"Determine the ownership of the world...Gong Jin, why do you think these northerners can decide the ownership of the world just by fighting?"
"Probably, you feel that the available troops in the south cannot be compared with those in the north. Bo Fu, you are also a person who has seen the customs of the north. You should understand that if there is no war in the north, even if we develop desperately, in twenty or thirty years we want to fight against the north.
It will become more difficult to become a hegemon, and after two or three generations, even if those in power still have ambitions, they may be powerless."
"Gong Jin, since you also know this truth, are you willing to stay in this corner of the world and wait for the overlord of the world to appear and slowly eat away at the foundation we have worked so hard to build? If you are not willing to do so, I, Sun Bofu, will not
I am willing to do so."
"Haha, there is no need to ask. As long as you, Sun Bofu, are willing, it doesn't matter if you stay in a corner or march to the north, I, Zhou Gongjin, will always be by your side. Although our current strength is not strong enough, we are better than
The ambitious princes in the north are not without any advantages, and as long as we use them properly, we are not completely without opportunities."
"Haha, I knew you would never let me down, Gongjin~!"
Similar conversations may be taking place in Jingzhou. Although compared to the youthful energy of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who can be called the youth idol group, the upper echelons of Jingzhou are basically a group of middle-aged civil servants. They have less energy, but more energy.
Somewhat sophisticated.
Liu Feng was somewhat hesitant now.
Among the princes in the world, Liu Biao's situation at this time was probably the worst.
Although due to the changes in the north, the Bingzhou Army that was originally hanging over his head was replaced by Cao Cao, who was unable to make progress. Sun Ce's army in the east did feel a lot better with Yuan Shao's guarantee. Perhaps Zhou Yu's intention was to train the navy in Penglize.
No one can guess whether it is going north or west, but the news coming back from Wu County has arrived.
It can still make people breathe a sigh of relief. As for the south, it is said that Zhang Xian, who is causing headaches, seems to be seriously ill. Even though his younger brother can be regarded as a master of Xinglin, but after so long, there is no sign of improvement, so that
Yu Jingnan and the others couldn't hide it even if they tried their best, so it seemed like they probably didn't have much time left.
Sounds like all good news?
No, no, no, Liu Biao would rather none of this news appear, rather than have the worse news reach his ears.
"Is Zirou's illness feeling better?"
Liu Biao looked a little anxious at this time, but he seemed to be afraid that his anxiety would be transmitted to the visitors. He tried hard to hide his true emotions, but he couldn't hide it no matter what, making him look less like the master of Jingzhou and more like the master of Jingzhou.
He is more like an ordinary person who cares about his friends and is anxious about his friends' illness.
But even so, the visitor still shook his head with a sad expression, causing the expression on Liu Biao's face to turn into sadness in an instant.
"Basically, all the famous doctors who can be invited have made diagnosis and treatment, but they are of little use. Even several doctors who participated in the diagnosis and treatment were also infected with the disease and had to be isolated in the house. Although there is no reason for them not to treat them carefully.
.But seeing that my brother is getting more and more haggard, I am afraid that even if a treatment method can be found, it will be difficult for my brother’s body to support him..."
At the end of the speech, both the visitor and Liu Biao had tears in their eyes.
Liu Biao was a politician and a literati with a sentimental heart. Not to mention that Kuai Liang was the first official who was able to quickly put down the chaos in Jingzhou after he entered Jingzhou. The emperor and his ministers had known each other for many years, but there was nothing
There is too much conflict, not only because there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two parties, but also because the other party has properly handled the relationship between them.
Because of this, when Liu Biao learned that his best friend and arm were about to pass away, he naturally felt extremely sad. Recalling the scene where the monarch and his ministers complemented each other so well, he couldn't stop the tears from the corners of his eyes.
In fact, Kuai Liang's problem is just a microcosm of the entire Jingzhou area today.
Since the strike between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, a large-scale plague disease quickly appeared in Jiangxia County, and it quickly expanded to Nanjun, Wuling, Changsha and other places. People infected with the plague initially only had a fever, often accompanied by general malaise, fatigue, and loss of appetite.
As the condition gradually worsens, the body temperature will rise rapidly. However, the strange thing is that even though the body is already extremely hot, it is still afraid of the cold. It feels as if one is in a world of ice and snow.
Fall into a fantasy.
This disease is very scary for people who lack medical treatment. Firstly, it is extremely contagious. Often if a patient is found in a village, within a month, the entire village may be infected. Secondly,
The fatality rate is very high. It usually takes no more than a week after infection. Nearly half of the infected people suffer from respiratory failure, mental confusion and other symptoms, and die within two to three weeks after the onset of the disease. The appearance of death is very horrific.
In comparison, those who have no worries about food and clothing, or who are surrounded by people who are proficient in awakening spells, have a significantly lower fatality rate than ordinary people. However, for those who are not in strong health, they still cannot avoid being infected by the virus.
Medicinal stones are useless.
Whether it is Kuai Liang from Xiangyang or Zhang Xian from Jingnan, they are both "winners" with extremely bad luck.
The epidemic developed very quickly, and even before the soldiers and civilians in the nine counties of Jingxiang could react, it had already spread to the bustling city and the villages surrounding the city. It can be said that except for places in the mountains and mountains where there is little contact with people, almost everyone
All places with intensive human activities are suffering from the ravages of diseases.
Under such circumstances, Liu Biao seemed extremely reluctant even if he wanted to protect himself, not to mention what he thought about the north.
Of course, at this special time, no one would be in the mood to cause trouble in Jingzhou. After all, in the face of such a ferocious epidemic, even the most militant people would worry that their troops who invaded Jingzhou would be infected.
Then the whole army will be annihilated, I didn’t see it
Even Huo Qubing, the genius commander of a generation. This invincible general who was unbeatable on the battlefield, still fell to the epidemic. Even if many people would rather believe that Huo Qubing's death was a premeditated conspiracy, it was only in
I just feel sorry for this genius.
Even if Liu Biao had a more evil heart, and based on the idea of "I can't take over the world, you can't even think about it," he would drive those infected to the rule of other princes. I'm afraid what would happen at that time is because the picture is so beautiful that people can't bear to look at it.
Probably because the princes were all representatives of Houhei Xue, when the news of the severe epidemic in Jingzhou spread to various places, even in the north where the fighting was going on, Cao Cao, who had borders with Liu Biao, immediately ordered the border to be sealed.
People from Jingzhou were prohibited from entering the north, or envoys with missions were required to be quarantined for two weeks before entering.
Yizhou, which was undergoing an ongoing civil war, also responded quickly and cut off land and water transportation between Yizhou and Jingzhou. As for Sun Cejun, who had never relaxed his exploration of Jingzhou's interior, he also issued a similar order immediately.
However, just as there was great turmoil in Jingzhou, a rumor quietly emerged, and this rumor was not referring to Li Shushi, who had always been spurned by the scholar-bureaucrats, but to Jiangdong Sun Ce, who had a feud with Jingzhou.
and his subordinates.
The content of the rumor is not complicated, but it is believed that the large-scale epidemic in Jingzhou was not caused by a natural disaster, but was entirely caused by Sun Cejun in order to defeat Jingzhou!
It seems to be a bit of a conspiracy theory. But the people who spread the rumors are very conclusive. After all, the place where the plague first originated was Jiangxia, where the Jingzhou Army and Sun Ce's Army fought. And when it started, it was Jiangxia.
After the two sides had been in a stalemate for many days, they had to call off their troops, but Sun Ce's army did not seem to be affected by the plague. It seemed abnormal no matter how you looked at it.
No matter who spread this rumor, or why it started, in short, both Jingzhou, Sun Ce's enemy, and Cao Cao, who was in the north and could always feel the pressure from Sun Ce in the south, immediately accepted this statement.
Even the powerful families in Jiangdong are spreading these rumors privately.
Sun Cejun's movements could be said to be wetted with yellow mud - even if he wasn't Xiang, no one else would believe him.
Of course, the rumors spread so quickly not only because there were people secretly fueling them, but also because Sun Ce's current situation was not much better than that of Li Shushi in the north. It was even because Sun Ce had not been able to unite a group of local people around him.
Aristocratic family interest groups, Sun Ce's reputation among scholars may now be even worse than that of Li Shushi.
After all, when it comes to the degree of radicalness of policies, Sun Ce is even more radical than Li Shushi and Cao Cao. In terms of purging local powerful people, Sun Ce was even more radical than Li Shushi and Cao Cao - the latter two were finally
It also pays attention to the individual teacher's reputation, not
Regardless of whether it is fishing law enforcement or other matters, there is always evidence. Unlike our Sun Ce children's shoes, even though they have restrained themselves recently, people still cannot forget the man who was beheaded after just some minor misunderstandings.
A powerful local leader.
Therefore, as long as there are rumors that are unfavorable to Sun Ce, even if they are groundless, everyone will quickly believe them.
After all, even if it is groundless, there will always be some shadow of it.
Therefore, if Sun Ce wants to participate in this gambling game that determines the world, he may not have the idea of using this to divert internal conflicts.
Of course, probably only the parties involved know best what the facts are.
In any case, Sun Cejun, who had never settled down, once again began to gather troops and sharpen his sword.
"Brother, is it my part to go north this time?"
"Yes, brother Ce, little sister, my martial arts have improved recently~ When archery, eight out of ten arrows can hit the target, and at least three of them can hit the center of the red heart. It's pretty good, isn't it? Can you follow Ce's example?
My brother is on the battlefield~"
"Brother, look at my muscles. Are they stronger than before?"
So it is true that the Sun family is a group of warmongers. Even in peacetime, they either join the army or become a black society that seriously threatens local security. When other families heard that Sun Ce planned to launch troops to attack the north, they all frowned.
Frowning, he was thinking about how much damage this attack would cause to the family. Only the sons of the Sun family would bravely fight to be the first.
But even so, Sun Ce still felt an extremely headache.
"I said Xiaoxiang, if you continue like this, which family's young master will be willing to marry you? I won't talk about the fact that you beat the young master of the Zhu family into a pig's head just last month, and I won't talk about the big one.
Yue, your prank on the cruise ship almost caused the son of the Xie family to drown. Not to mention last month..."
"Okay~~~~Big~~~Brother~~~~Don't mention those boring things~~~Those young men are so inconsiderate. They cry for father and mother after just a little fun. It's really
It's boring. Actually, I don't have high requirements for my little sister. I only want my husband to be half, ah, no, two-thirds of my elder brother. I need it.
It's not three-quarters powerful. It's enough to defeat five tigers like Brother Quan, and then lift the stone lock a hundred and eighty times like Brother Yi. You see~~ I don't ask my husband to be like Zhou Yu
Brother is so smart~~This requirement is already very low, but it is the most basic and basic~~~"
Hey, hey, hey, is this a requirement to recruit a bride or a requirement to select [beep~], and the men of the Sun family are all extremely powerful in combat [beep~], or are you planning to make our Miss Sun an orphan?
Still alive.
"Gong Jin, you are my brother, my biological brother. Why don't you just accept this little goblin..."
"Bo Fu, although Gong Jin is willing to accompany you until the end of time, you cannot force this emotional matter. Miss Sun has made it very clear just now. She hopes to find a strong and powerful man, not an empty-handed person like Zhou Yu.
He has brains but no hands to tie a chicken, so he cannot be considered a 'waste' like my good man from Jiangdong."
Speaking of American wolves, that's fine if you don't like them. But why are you so self-deprecating? If you are not considered a good boy in Koto, then those young girls and wives in Koto will not be able to find the right partner...
...Okay. There is still one Sun Ce himself, but even for blood relatives in marriage relationships
In ancient times when the establishment of hierarchy was still very rough, people knew that they should not be close relatives [beep~], and you implicitly meant that you planned to let Sun Bofu cloth spread all over the world. In other words, such an achievement should be achieved even by beings like Li Shushi and Cao Cao.
Let’s look up, not to mention someone who will be clamoring for middle-aged children in a corner more than a thousand years later.
"Well, Xiaoxiang is still young anyway. It may be a little early to say this. We will see if there is someone you like later. Then second brother, tell me about you. Although I am pleased to know that your martial arts have improved recently, but
There’s no need to take such a risk.”
After dealing with the most troublesome and lovable little princess in the family, Sun Ce looked at his second son with a troubled expression.
Well, as expected, the existence of the second child causes all kinds of troubles for the eldest son, who is the eldest son.
No, not long ago, he took advantage of Sun Ce's inattention and ran into the mountains to hunt again - of course, hunting is not a strange thing for this group of big and small cats in the Sun family, but it's just that
The second big cat of the Sun family obviously wanted to take a trip that was different. I don’t know how he did it, but he managed to tie up five tigers by himself.
Well, the best this can do is win a battle between big cats, and those who are experts in civil war are not heroes.
Probably the second son of the Sun family thought so too, so he once again made an astonishing move. On a sunny afternoon, he invited heroes from all walks of life - of course, the two elders, who were among the heroes among the girls, were not included.
Mom—"The ultimate showdown between the five tigers and the second, ahem, Sun. The true heir to the big cats" came out in the training ground of her mansion.
Since Sun Quan can still stand here and be scolded by his elder brother, it naturally proves the victory or defeat of that battle. However, Sun Quan's unparalleled behavior will naturally be criticized later by his two biological mothers, Mrs. Wu, and down to
As the eldest brother, Sun Ceyi
They thought that the behavior of the second son of the Sun family was too desperate, completely inconsistent with the code of conduct for building a harmonious society, and failed to practice the important speeches and spiritual experiences of the older generation of big cat representatives of the Sun family who had passed away.
Bala, bala, bala...
The reason why I am talking about only the eldest son of the Sun family is because Sun Quan’s unconcerned face and even secretly turned around to wink and interact with his younger brothers and sisters while his eldest brother was talking endlessly. You should know that such behavior in the first grade of junior high school.
The senior middle school patients are so majestic and majestic that people want to imitate them.
No, if it weren't for Sun Ce's quick eyesight and quick hands, Sun Yi, the third son of the Sun family, would have been torn into pieces by a few tigers.
By the way, this should be regarded as a typical example of cheating on your younger brother.
As for the third child, Sun Yi, haha, because a dangerous incident just happened and he is still in "confinement", Sun Ce is not polite. With a knowing blow and a hand knife attack, he makes the self-proclaimed "dignified man"
"Sun Yi had to hold his head and squat on guard.
How can I break this inexplicable joy?
"It's been a long time." Looking at Sun Ce and Sun Yi who were interacting, little Sun Shangxiang had a nostalgic look on his face. "Since my father left, brother Ce hasn't played with us like this for a long time. Although I don't know what happened during this time.
What made Brother Ce become the same as before, but as expected, he is still like this, and Xiaoxiang likes Brother Ce best~"
"Yes, my brother has indeed not shown such a cheerful smile for a long time. Probably because he has been less stressed recently. So Xiaoxiang must take this opportunity to be coquettish to his brother~"
"Hmph~ The smelly second brother is the most annoying~~!!"
"Haha, what are Brother Quan and Xiaoxiang talking about? They are so happy. But if you two want to have fun, you will have time later. Now let me and Xiaoxiang get close and intimate."
"Brother, what you said...does it mean that you want to keep me here again?"
"Haha, after thinking about it for a long time, it turns out that it's Brother Quan who makes me most at ease if you stay."
"This... okay, then Sun Zhongmou wishes my brother that he can achieve his goal and teach Cao Cao and Li a big lesson!"
"Yes, I will. Mothers...it's up to you, brother Quan, to take care of them.
Gong Jin, don't be idle, bring out Peng Li's army, nothing can make soldiers mature more than the battlefield."
"I see."
"Good brother, I will wait for you in Juchao."
"See you there or not!"
"See you there or not!"
Pan Sen: I feel so tired inexplicably... (To be continued...)
