Half a month later, Sun Ce, who came from Jiangdong, arrived in Chang'an.

Looking at the three big characters of 'Chang'an City' carved on the stone above the city gate, a strong sense of vicissitudes rushed to the face.

"Brother, is this Chang'an?"

A little boy with bright eyes held his brother's hand, turned his head and asked curiously, his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Sun Ce.

On the other side of Sun Ce, there is also a six or seven-year-old girl with a glutinous little face, who is innocent and cute.

Sun Ce let out a slight 'um' and said firmly: "That's right, this is Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty!" ”

In fact, this is also Sun Ce's first time in Chang'an.

For Chang'an City, Sun Ce was a little in awe in his heart, "The Son of Heaven is a true dragon and is entrenched here, so the upper side of Chang'an City has the spirit of a real dragon." ”

"Why didn't I see that?" The little boy tilted his head hard, almost to the back of his neck, but still couldn't see the so-called 'Son of Heaven'.

Sun Ce dotingly lifted the back of his brother's head and explained with a smile: "I am mortals with naked eyes, so naturally I can't see it." ”

The little boy let out an 'oh', as if disappointed that he hadn't seen it himself.

After visiting outside the city for a while, Sun Ce led the two little guys into the city, and more than a dozen cronies and guards behind him also followed.

The city of Chang'an is bustling with pedestrians, making people feel dazzled at the same time, and occasionally you can see guards with knives patrolling back and forth.

"Wow, there are so many people in Chang'an City, much more than when we are in the county town!" The little boy opened his mouth wide and made exaggerated gestures with his two small hands.

"If there weren't many people in our Wu County, it wouldn't be Chang'an, the capital division." Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh.

Behind him, a sturdy man with a tiger's back leaned forward and whispered: "My lord, last year, there were rumors in various places that it was said that there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and it was very likely that it would not be able to support it, causing a large-scale riot and rebellion. I saw it today, but I didn't expect it to be so peaceful, it seems that the previous statements are indeed rumors. ”

This person's surname is Zhou Mingtai, the word Youping, a native of Cai under the Jiujiang River, and is known for his bravery. When Sun Ce was in turmoil in Jiangdong, he joined Sun Ce's army with Jiang Qin of the same county and followed Sun Ce's side.

Sun Ce shook his head slightly, "It shouldn't be a rumor, after all, there was a drought in various places last year, but the severity was different." I don't know what method Da Sima used to suppress the drought and save so many people in Guanzhong. ”

Because of the Koto rebellion, intelligence information was also greatly hindered.

"How many people are from out of town, right?" Accidentally overhearing Sun Ce's discussion here, a man passing by carrying a rough log stopped.

Sun Ce nodded, wanting to hear what this man had to say.

The man took a breath and recalled with some sadness: "Last year, we closed this place, and it was indeed quite miserable!" There are corpses everywhere, many people can't survive, and even I almost fell into the grass and became a bandit. Fortunately, at the last moment, Da Sima appeared. It is said that in order to protect us lowly civilians, all those masters of the family have been offended. ”

"Isn't it? If it weren't for Da Sima Fawei, those masters of the family would be able to transport grain to Guanzhong in a truckload? At this point, another person interjected.

"And the lady of the Great Sima family, that is the heart of the living Bodhisattva! First of all, he used his own food reserves to help us, and then opened the Tzu Chi Hall in the city, but anyone who is sick, whether it is serious or small, can go there for free diagnosis and treatment, and do not charge a penny from the people, you say, is this a living Bodhisattva! ”

Among them, there are men who have been favored to raise their voices, and their honest words are full of gratitude.

"Who dares to say that Da Sima and his wife are not good, Lao Tzu Li Tieniu is the first to disagree!"

"That's it, no!"

Gradually, there were more people who came to Hu Kan, and judging from their tone, all of them were people who had received relief from Lu Bu.

Sun Ce didn't want to delay here, so he quickly took his younger brother and sister away, but he was amazed in his heart.

is worthy of being the lord he identifies, and he has the ability to turn the tide, and he still has such a high prestige among the people, and he has won the hearts of the people.

Sun Ce asked people about the whereabouts of the Great Sima Mansion, and Zhou Tai was a little puzzled: "Lord, shouldn't we go to the post house and wait?" Why go to the Great Sima Mansion? ”

Sun Ce replied: "I didn't enter Beijing for a pilgrimage, just to meet Da Sima. What's more, there are many people in the post house, and it is inevitable to spread some gossip and slander the reputation of Da Sima. ”

"We are foolish, and we are not as far-sighted as the Lord!" Zhou Tai and others were convinced.

At this time, in the Great Sima Mansion, a martial arts competition was underway.

The defender is Ma Chao, who only visited the church a few days ago to get married, and his father Ma Teng had already returned to Xiliang the day after Ma Chao got married, which is also what Lu Bu meant. With Ma Teng's temper that is easy to offend people, it is estimated that if he stays for a few more days, the powerful people in the entire Chang'an City will have to be offended by him.

"It is good for a person to be capable, but not to be too arrogant, otherwise sooner or later something will happen."

This is the parting words that Ma Teng gave him before leaving.

Ma Teng just nodded and said 'I know', and I don't know if I heard it.

In just half an hour, Ma Chao has defeated many generals such as Song Xian, Hou Cheng, Hu Che'er, and even the stronger Pan Feng and Xu Huang have also been defeated one after another.

I have to say that this little Mengqi, who they could still ravage a few years ago, has grown too rapidly and has a tendency to emerge.

But a loss is a loss, and they are convinced.

Cao Xing was ready to move the rescue soldiers, but he was the first to lose, and he was also the one who held out the shortest.

Men, you can endure everything else, but you can't do it in the shortest!

Today, Cao Xing is determined to suppress Ma Chao's momentum, and he can't let this little guy be too blind.

When he walked to the gate, he happened to bump into Sun Ce, who was about to come to the door to ask for a meeting.

Lu Bu went to the palace at this time, but he was not in the palace, Cao Xing's eyes rolled, and he said in his heart: Yes.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Bofu, I heard that you pacified half of the land in Jiangdong, it's really gratifying, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's really more and more heroic!"

Cao Xing pretended to be surprised, and stepped forward to praise him.

Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in his heart, young people like to listen to good words of praise and praise, and Sun Ce is no exception. With a smile on his face, he said 'False Praise', and then asked, "Where does General Cao want to go?" ”

At the mention of this, the expression on Cao Xing's face instantly became extremely bitter, and he said helplessly: "Where else can I go, go and move the rescuers." ”

"Why did General Cao say this, could it be that something happened in the Great Sima Mansion?" Sun Ce was surprised.

Cao Xing shook his head, "It's not that something happened, it's just that there is a young general named Ma Chao who came back from Xiliang to suppress the rebellion, and no one can beat him." So others said that in this young generation, only Ma Chao should be the first. I was very unconvinced when I heard it, I said that if I want to talk about the first, it should be Jiangdong Sun Bofu, as a result, what do you guess Ma Chao said? ”
