One old man and four young men stood at the gate of the city.
They were dressed very ordinary, very ordinary, and there were no servants around them, but the captain of the city gate respected them extraordinarily. They stood like this at the city gate. Most of the people coming and going were curious, because they stood The position is inaccessible to ordinary people. Usually only the guards can stand there, and even the officials cannot stand there. This makes more people start to guess the identities of those people.
Some said that these people were relatives of the royal family, and some said that they were people from the Sangong Mansion, but no one knew the truth.
While everyone was making wild guesses, the captain of the city gate walked humbly to the old man, bent down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Taiwei, I have inquired, it is indeed at the east city gate, but... I don’t know the exact date, but there was a message from above asking us to clear the place in half an hour, not allowing people to walk with us, to welcome the military. I don’t know the rest.”
Sun Jian said angrily: "Nonsense, this order of yours was given by me. How could I not know? I asked you to inquire about the news of the post station ahead and see if the Confederate Army has arrived. Please give me my order again." Did I convey it once?"
The captain of the city gate looked at the captain with some embarrassment, "I'm going to contact the front post!" After saying that, he left. Watching him leave, Sun Jian shook his head helplessly and looked at Sun Quan beside him. , asked: "What is this person called, and who got this position?" Sun Quan coughed, and then said: "Father, this person did not come here based on connections. Although this person's talent is beyond comparison, He is unparalleled, but he is also capable of running the county, and he has an upright character and a righteous heart."
"It is most appropriate to place him here. After all, the safety of the city gate is extremely important. With him here, it will not be easy for thieves and bandits to enter Luoyang. He is extremely serious about his work. ..."
Listening to Sun Quan's praise, Sun Jian still had some disdain on his face and said: "Okay, don't say this, just tell me, what is his surname and what is his name?"
"Ahem, his name is Sima Fu."
"Sima Yi's younger brother?? Haha..." A strange smile appeared on Sun Jian's face.
Sun Quan didn't know how to explain it.
Sun Yi stood aside. He was taller than his father and brother. The eldest brother was about the same height as him. This guy frowned. One look at his face and you could tell that he was not an easy person to talk to. Among Sun Jian's children, he was the most irritable. He was not good at writing since he was a child, but loved martial arts. Although his martial prowess was not as good as that of his father and brother, his fiery temper was even worse than that of his father and brother!
"Why aren't you here yet?? What do the people at the station ahead do?! And this city gate captain!! You're a idiot!!" Sun Yi said very rudely. He looked around with a fierce look on his face. Sun Jian didn't even look back, he had already imagined what he looked like at this moment. Sun Jian sighed helplessly and was speechless. Among his sons, the eldest and the third were the ones who gave him the least peace of mind.
The eldest son and the third son are somewhat similar. They are both strong-backed, strong, and good at marching. Unfortunately, their personalities are completely different. The eldest son, Sun Ce, is brave and open-minded. He likes to joke with others and often He was able to make everyone laugh and had a strong charm, which was somewhat similar to Cao Cao. However, these three sons had fiery personalities and were often scolded by Sun Jian for beating up his servants.
Sun Jian knew in his heart that a person with such a violent personality like him would not be able to accomplish anything. He could easily cause trouble when marching, fighting, or governing the country. Therefore, Sun Jian never allowed him to take charge of his own business. He spent all day training. However, the results were not significant, and his damn temper still failed to improve at all.
Sun Quan glanced at Sun Yi next to him, frowned, and said: "You should be more polite when speaking, and being harsh to others will bring you disaster sooner or later. This city gate captain is not only Sima Yi's younger brother, but also Zhuge Liang's disciple." , you have a close relationship with the two of them, if you offend them, your life in the future will not be easy..."
"Haha, what are you afraid of? Just like them, I'm not afraid of one against two!!" Sun Yi snorted coldly and raised his head.
Sun Jian's forehead hurt a little, but he was still speechless. In terms of raising children, he was obviously not as good as Cao Cao. The five tigers of the Cao family, and the Sun family only had the twin sons of the Sun family, the eldest son Ce and the second son Quan. The other three were not good at all. He didn't show any extraordinary talent, especially the third son, who still had such a bad temper. He sighed, fortunately there was Liu Bei at the bottom, otherwise he would not be able to hold his head high in front of Cao Cao.
Listening to Sun Yi's arrogant words, Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, but still had no words.
Sun Kuang stood behind his two brothers, with his head lowered and silent. His temperament was exactly the opposite of that of the third son. He had been weak since he was a child and did not like to talk. As for the fifth son, Sun Lang, he just held his father's hand and was a little confused. Looking around, he didn't understand the reason for the quarrel between the second brother and the third brother. The family was waiting here, and not long after, the captain of the city gate began to disperse the people.
Those who want to enter Luoyang can only take other roads. This road can no longer be taken. Of course, he also informed everyone of the reason. The Southern Army is returning. This is not a secret, and there is no need to hide it from the people. The Northern and Southern Army had a high status in the hearts of the people. When they heard that the Southern Army was back, those people who had been complaining shut their mouths and stood on both sides of the road.
Many people left reluctantly because they wanted to stay and see the Confederate Army.
After all, this is the most elite military force of the Han Dynasty.
In the distance, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and only a few horses were seen, galloping towards the city gate. The horses stopped suddenly, and Sun Jian's eyes lit up. He knew what he was doing. The horses were all high-quality horses. The people sitting on the horses could be seen to be soldiers of the Confederate Army. The soldiers of the Confederate Army looked around for a few times and then quickly galloped away towards the way they came.
Sun Yi lowered his voice and asked: "Second brother, what are they doing?"
"Scouts, explore the road ahead to see if there are any obstacles or enemies..."
"Where are the enemies around Luoyang? Who dares to stop them? Why are we sending scouts?"
"This is a habit. As long as the traveling army is surrounded by scouts coming and going to find out information, we can't relax just because we return to Luoyang!" Sun Quan said, and Sun Jian in front also smiled and nodded. Said: "Your brother is right. It seems that this Liao Zhijun is still good. I had a lot of distrust in him before. Looking at the appearance of the scout, I was extra vigilant and even prepared for battle. .It seems that he did not disappoint me!"
Listening to my father's words, the brothers fell silent.
Sun Jian was a little excited and his whole body was trembling slightly. The Southern Army had a different feeling for him. He joined the Army from the Southern Army. He followed General Duan Jue and climbed up step by step, from being a prince to a vanguard.
, became a captain, and finally took charge of the Confederate Army. He had been in the Confederate Army all his life and had never left. Now that he could see the familiar army again, his mood was naturally beyond words.
With the bursts of steps, the ground was shaking slightly, and the people around him screamed in surprise.
The silhouette of the Confederate army gradually appeared in the distance.
At the beginning, there were two knights holding two big flags. One flag had Chinese characters in red letters on a black background, and the other one was a broken Southern Army flag that was spattered with blood. The moment he saw the flag, Sun Jian
Stunned, his hands kept shaking, he looked at the flag blankly, with countless thoughts in his heart, and even more nostalgia.
This was the vanguard of the Southern Army. The soldiers were marching forward neatly, step by step, as if they were one person. Everyone had never seen such a posture before. They all marveled and stared with wide eyes. In the crowd, Sun Jian finally found
I saw that familiar figure, Sun Ce with a solemn face, riding a horse, holding a spear, right in the middle of the soldiers, covered with robes.
He didn't look sideways, as if he didn't see his relatives in the distance, but just looked in front of him.
Sun Jian grinned, looking at this young boy, the past years seemed to reappear again, while Sun Yi on the side waved his hand and shouted: "Brother!! Brother!! We are here!!", Sun Ce or maybe
Upon hearing, or not hearing, or ignoring his call, Sun Jian suddenly raised his hand and said, "Shut up!" Sun Yi immediately lowered his head and did not dare to call.
Sun Ce finally led the vanguard army to the area around Sun Jian and others, and they stopped here.
However, Sun Ce never turned around to look at his relatives. Sun Jian smiled brightly, his eyes full of pride.
The vanguard army suddenly divided into two columns and stood on both sides of the road, holding spears and staring at the people outside the road. The common people were frightened and stepped back several steps. Sun Ce faced outside the road, and his eyes were for the first time.
Father, when his brothers met, his face was still solemn, but the gentleness and closeness in his eyes made Sun Kuang and Sun Lang's eyes turn red.
Sun Quan smiled, stretched out his hand, and waved to his brother.
Sun Jian's expression was exactly the same as Sun Ce's, particularly solemn.
After the vanguard army stood on both sides, the main army brigade slowly advanced from the guard line of the vanguard army. However, the first batch of soldiers who came made everyone stunned. The first batch of soldiers came
These soldiers were in disarray, including archers, horsemen, princes, and all kinds of soldiers. The only thing they had in common was that they were all physically disabled.
Some of these soldiers had their eyes covered with cloth and were being pulled by a man with a lame arm.
Some simply lost their legs and were carried by an unrecognizable person.
Some people live on crutches, some on other people's backs.
All the soldiers were walking forward resolutely, their steps were not uniform, but they had a chilling atmosphere all over their bodies.
The people who were talking and laughing suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at the Confederate Army, the first batch of troops entering the city.
Sun Quan wanted to say something, but when he turned to look at his father, he found that at some point, his father had already been covered with tears and started sobbing softly.
"Wu!! Wu!! Wu!!"
The old soldiers slammed the spears in their hands on the ground and roared with all their strength.
