Changsha in summer is hot and humid, and the rain is as capricious as a wayward child.

Half an hour after it had cleared, the sky suddenly became cloudy again, and the raindrops poured down from the sky like beans, knocking on the roof tiles crackling incessantly.

"Alas...... It seems that I didn't go to the barracks again today! ”

Sixteen-year-old Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed, put away the bamboo umbrella in his hand, shook his head and sighed.

These days, the lord Sun Jian was strongly blocked by Liu Biao's general Wen Ping in Wuling, and suffered heavy casualties under Wuling City, but it was still difficult to cross the Lei Chi. Sun Jian, who was determined to take all the positions in Jingnan, refused to give up halfway, and frequently sent letters to Sun Ce, who was sitting in Changsha, to transfer troops.

Sun Ce had just sent his uncle Wu Jing to the front a few days ago to send a team of 4,000 people to the front, and the defense of Changsha was somewhat empty, and the strength of the whole city was less than 3,000. In the north of the Yangtze River, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses of Huang Zu stationed in Jiangxia, 600 miles to the east is stationed in Chaisang's Ganning Department, the combined land and water armies are also nearly 20,000 people, if there is one side eyeing Changsha, take advantage of the weakness, Changsha will be like a dangerous egg!

In desperation, Sun Ce could only use the method of compulsory conscription to replenish his troops, and forcibly recruited men between the ages of 15 and 50 in Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling. It was stipulated that if there were more than five members of the family, one person must come out for military service, otherwise the property would be confiscated and expelled from the locality.

Although Jingnan has a vast land, it is very barren and inhabited, and with the strength of the three counties, there are only more than 30 county towns under its rule. With a total population of more than 800,000, it is not as large as a single county such as Runan, Yingchuan and Wei County in the Central Plains. Even if Sun Ce tried his best, he only recruited eight thousand strong men in half a month. It makes me very irritable.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

Jingnan is sparsely populated, and Sun Ce also recognized the congenital disadvantage of not being easy to recruit soldiers, but after entering June, the rain came one after another, and there was hardly a complete sunny day, so it was impossible to train recruits at all. A lot of people still can't get the gun in the right position. This is also the reason why Sun Ce's liver is hot.

As Sun Ce's chief horn, he watched Sun Ce be irritable and angry all day long. Zhou Yu didn't feel good in his heart, he couldn't brave the rain to train the recruits, and he was afraid that the soldiers would be infected with the wind and cold, and the gains outweighed the losses. I can only wait for the clouds to disperse and the sky clears!

"I wish it would rain and never stop!"

Seeing Zhou Yu sighing under the corridor, eight-year-old Xiao Qiao also came over, staring at the rain curtain in the sky, looking full of joy.

Zhou Yu couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out to scrape the tip of Xiao Qiao's delicate nose: "How did you learn to go against Brother Gongjin?" Be careful that your brother won't help you find your parents! ”

Xiao Qiao grimaced and looked sad: "Only when it rains, Brother Gongjin will not go out, and will talk to Ah Ying at home!" ”

For this fairy-like Lori. Zhou Yu likes it no matter how he looks at it, and of course he won't be angry lightly. What's more, Xiao Qiao's words clearly revealed his attachment to himself, which made Zhou Yu have an indescribable wonderful feeling in his heart.

"Huh. The little girl is talking nonsense, Brother Gongjin doesn't go out, how can he train the army? ”

Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao stood side by side under the corridor, staring at the dark clouds in the sky with a sad face, while reaching out to caress the soft green silk of Xiao Lori. He was only eight or nine years old, and his long hair was already black and dense. The little face set off is even more watery and handsome.

"What's so good about training? After training the soldiers, let them go to war, and if they fight, they will die...... Brother Gongjin. Wouldn't it be better to talk to Ah Ying at home? Xiao Qiao tugged on Zhou Yu's clothes, and the little ghost put forward a different point of view.

There have been more and more similar problems recently, and Zhou Yu has no intention of convincing her. It is really not a wise move to talk to a little girl who is not yet ten years old about the great truth of "family and country and the world", and a hurtful analogy is "playing the piano to the cow". Zhou Yu is a smart person, so naturally he wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

"The spies I sent to Jiangdong some time ago have not come back yet, and it is estimated that they either met bandits on the way, or were arrested by the Jiangdong army as a meticulous work. Therefore, Brother Gongjin sent a few scouts to Jiangdong the afternoon before yesterday, as long as I heard the whereabouts of Ah Ying's parents, I will send you back, so don't be sad little girl! Zhou Yu stroked Xiao Qiao's hair and comforted softly.

But Xiao Qiao's answer was beyond Zhou Yu's expectations, the corners of his mouth curled, and he said with a strong face: "Who said that Ah Ying is sad?" Although people miss their mothers and sisters a little, I think I am quite happy when I am with Brother Gongjin, so Ah Ying is not sad! ”

"Why do you feel happy with Brother Gongjin?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile.

Xiao Qiao frowned and thought for a while, and finally said affirmatively: "Because Brother Gongjin can play the piano to Ah Ying, tell me stories, and play with me, Ah Ying is really happy these days!" And ......"

"And what?" Zhou Yu asked.

"And they all say that the grace of saving lives should be promised by body......" Xiao Qiao blushed and said shyly, "It was Brother Gongjin who saved Ah Ying from the hands of the bandits, so Ah Ying plans to promise with his body!" ”

"Huh...... Little girl is talking nonsense! ”

Zhou Yu was amused by Xiao Qiao's words, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her pink face. But looking at such a beautiful beauty embryo, I want to be in my heart, when I grow up, this girl must be a stunning stunner who will captivate the country and the city, and I can get a wife like this, what are the regrets in this life?

"You little girl must not talk nonsense in front of outsiders, who did you listen to at a young age to say, 'Save your life, promise by yourself?'"

Afraid that the rain would wet Xiao Qiao's beautiful clothes, Zhou Yu gently ripped off her shirt and asked her to stand back, while asking casually. Although there are no taboos, it is also an interesting thing to use to relieve boredom.

Xiao Qiao said with certainty: "Ah Ying listened to her sister, she said that King Hongnong saved her life, so she wanted to save her life, and promised to be King Hongnong's concubine." And Brother Gongjin saved Ah Ying. So I'm going to be your concubine too! ”

Zhou Yu's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly corrected Xiao Qiao: "Even if Ah Ying wants to make a promise, he can't be the concubine of Brother Gongjin......

"Woo...... Why doesn't Brother Gongjin let Ah Ying be your concubine? Could it be that Ah Ying is not beautiful and cute? ”

Little Lori's personality seems to be infected by the weather at the moment. I was very happy just now, and after listening to Zhou Yu's words, I immediately looked aggrieved, and tears were in my eyes.

Zhou Yu hurriedly wiped away the tears of the little fairy and comforted her softly: "Who dares to say that Ah Ying is not beautiful, who dares to say that Ah Ying is not cute?" ”

"Then why doesn't Brother Gongjin let Ah Ying be your concubine?"

"Because Brother Gongjin is just an ordinary person, neither a king nor an emperor, he can't accept a concubine. At most, you can only take concubines! Zhou Yu squatted in front of Little Lori and patiently explained.

Xiao Qiao still didn't give up: "Then why doesn't Brother Gongjin be the king." What about not being an emperor? Brother Gongjin is the emperor, can you let Ah Ying be your concubine? ”

“……”

Zhou Yu almost collapsed, and simply sat on the ground, only to find out at this moment that he was talking to a little Lori about these truths. It's even harder than playing the piano to a cow.

So Zhou Yu decided to divert the topic, reached out and patted the clean corridor, and motioned for little Lori to sit down and gossip, "You just said that your sister was saved by King Hongnong?" ”

"Yes, my sister was really rescued by King Hongnong!"

Xiao Qiao blinked her eyes and nodded vigorously, "Sister said that there are many, many, many thieves who want to kill her, and they plan to eat Sister alive......"

"Eaten alive?"

Zhou Yu's forehead was sweating again, where are the bandits so tasteless? Besides, you eat a little girl. Can it fill your stomach?

"That's what Sister said!"

Xiao Qiao nodded vigorously, insisting on his point of view with certainty, "The story is not over yet." At this time, King Hongnong rode a dragon down from the sky, held a sword, killed 100,000 thieves and soldiers at once, and then saved his sister. And said to my sister, Juan'er, you are more beautiful than a fairy, and it is not good to be my concubine? My sister agreed. Then this King Hongnong sent someone to Lujiang to pick up our family, and met a bandit on the road...... Afterward. Ah Ying couldn't find her mother and father, and was finally saved by Brother Gongjin, well, that's it! ”

Listening to Little Lori's words, Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Tong Yan Wuji, just take it as a fairy tale to kill time, I don't know if this story was made up by the little girl's sister, or is it her own fiction? Riding the dragon and killing 100,000 thieves and soldiers with a sword, the imagination of children is really wild!

Seeing Zhou Yu's smile clearly with a hint of ridicule, Xiao Qiao suddenly stopped doing it, pursed his lips and said, "People really didn't lie to you, it was my sister who said this to Ah Ying, could it be that Qiao Juan would lie to Ah Ying's sister?" And when we went to Jiangdong, there were many generals on horseback who protected our family, so Ah Ying felt that her sister did not lie to Ah Ying. My aunt also said that King Hongnong asked his father to go to Jiangdong to be an official, and if Brother Gongjin didn't believe it, he would send someone to Jiangdong to ask King Hongnong! ”

Zhou Yu smiled, jumped up from the ground, and patted Xiao Qiao's brain: "Okay, the story is over, it's time for us to have lunch!" Ah Ying rest assured, Brother Gongjin will definitely help you find your parents. As for King Hongnong, he is now the Son of Heaven, and he won't help Ah Ying find his parents like Brother Gongjin! ”

Xiao Qiao was about to cry anxiously: "Ah Ying really didn't brag, our family really went to Jiangdong to join King Hongnong, why didn't Brother Gongjin believe me?" ”

"I believe, little lady, tell Brother Bofu the story of you and King Hongnong!"

Sun Ce's voice came from the distance in the corridor, and at some point, he quietly came to Zhou Yu's mansion and happened to hear their conversation.

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "Bo Fu, are you bored too?" Don't you always say that children talk nonsense, and children are unscrupulous? ”

Sun Ce smiled wryly: "Sometimes you will find that from another angle, adults are not necessarily smarter than children!" ”

Then he bent down and picked up the eight-year-old Xiao Qiao, and went straight to Zhou Yu's lobby: "Let's go, go to the house and tell Bo Fu the story of your Qiao family and King Hongnong, tell it well, Brother Bo Fu will be rewarded!" ”

ps: I had a cold, and the infusion went in the morning, so the update was a little late! In the end, I asked for the support of a monthly pass, but I was weak, and I had to code words, which was not easy! (To be continued) R580
