Chapter 62: Assassination I

In the second year of the first peace, in March, the army under the command of Sun Jian successively broke through Yan Baihu's garrison, Shicheng Mountain and Baihu Mountain, and then directly attacked Wucheng County.

Yan Baihu was defeated by Sun Jian's Jiangdong army, defeated, and his younger brother Yan Yu was killed by Sun Jian after the battle was broken, and he led only more than 1,000 diehard soldiers left, escaped from Wucheng County, all the way south, and rested in Yuhang County.

Wucheng was broken, his younger brother Yan Yu was killed in battle, he fled in a hurry, the grain and grass in his hands were almost gone, Yan Baihu's whole person became brutal, burning and looting along the way, and when he was stationed in Yuhang, he also began to forcibly recruit young and strong people in the local area, replenish the team, and make the people of Yuhang miserable.

There is a young man in Yuhang County, surnamed Ling, named Cao, the word Kun Tao, chivalrous and courageous, and extraordinary martial arts, he saw Yan Baihu as a disaster Wu Cheng, and immediately became furious, relying on his reputation, within a few days, recruited more than hundreds of Hang people.

On a dark night, he led hundreds of villagers to take advantage of the darkness to attack Yan Baihu's military camp and personally beheaded Yan Baihu under his horse.

On March 10, Sun Jian received the news and immediately led his army south, and Ling Cao led hundreds of soldiers to meet Sun Jian at the Yuhang City Gate and present Yan Baihu's head.

Sun Jian was overjoyed, and took the Yuhang people under his command as a song, showing him as a military marquis, and entrusted him with the task of being a pioneer, and went south to Qiantang County.

On March 15, Ling Cao's 500 vanguard Jiangdong Army occupied Qiantang, and Qiantang County ordered a hasty escape from Qiantang, so far, the battle of Wu County ended, and the thirteen counties of Wu County completely fell into the hands of the Sun family.

On the 30th, Sun Jian took Ling Cao as the commander of Qiantang County, and Zu Mao as the captain of the thief, led 10,000 troops, and stationed in Qiantang to prevent Guo Yi's soldiers and horses, and led his troops back to Wu County.

――――――――――――――――――

In the early morning, Wu County, the Sun family's mansion, Sun Quan, who was still in a sweet dream, was once again pulled out of the warm quilt by Cai Yan's Qianqianyu hand.

"Sister Cai, please spare me, can't you let me sleep in the barracks that I finally said goodbye to?" Sun Quan looked at the panda and leaned against Cai Yan's warm nephrite, pleading pitifully.

Recently, the cavalry of the Overlord Iron Cavalry began to train the military formation, and Sun Quan couldn't intervene in this matter, so he naturally said goodbye to the days of the military camp and began to become relaxed.

"Quan, hurry up, what did you promise Madame yesterday?" Cai Yan was not fooled at all, and asked with a delicate face.

"Promise what?" Sun Quan slept in a daze, where do you remember.

"Humph!" Cai Yan's complexion began to become unkind, and several green jade fingers made a 180-degree rotation in Sun Quan's soft underbelly, and asked, "Do you remember now?" ”

Sun Quan shuddered, the severe pain made him completely sober, gasped, and hurriedly said: "Remember, Sister Cai, let go, it hurts, it hurts, I really remember it completely, give me a quarter of an hour, I'll wash it right away, and then eat." ”

No matter how gentle a woman is, such a killer move is always indispensable.

This trick was originally Wu Wan's trick to deal with Sun Quan, but I don't know how it got into her hands, Sun Quan was indignant in his heart, and it was his wife who brought this gentle woman to ruin.

Half an hour later, a big carriage, carrying Cai Yan, Xiao Huan'er, Wu Wan, Wu Qin, and two portable maids, a total of six people, left the Sun family's mansion and slowly drove out of the city.

Sun Quan has been in the cavalry camp for so many days, and in addition to training soldiers, he also began to learn to ride horses, after all, he will always go to the battlefield in the future, and if he can't even ride a horse, it will be a bit too embarrassing.

Under Sun Ce's teaching, he wore out several layers of skin between his two strands, and barely learned to ride a horse, but fortunately he had a saddle stirrup, otherwise he estimated that he would be able to ride a horse alone for another three months.

He rode a brown-red tall horse, walking at the front of the carriage, this is a good Xiliang war horse, not as good as Sun Ce's black horse, but it is also a rare good horse.

The destination of this group is a Futu temple outside the city, Buddhism began to be introduced to the Central Plains in the late years of the Western Han Dynasty, after these years of spread, there are many Futu temples in the south and north of the world, and it is not a strange sect.

Wu Wan and Wu Qin are both people who believe in Buddhism, Sun Jian is fighting outside, the two want to go to Sun Jian to pray for incense and bless Sun Jian's safety, although Cai Yan is not a person who believes in Buddhism, but he is also worried about his father in Chang'an, so he went together to pray for his father.

As for Sun Quan, Wu Wan saw that he was too idle recently, so she arrested him to protect him.

In the spring of March, the land of Jiangdong, everywhere is a vigorous vitality, Wu County is close to Taihu Lake, the outdoor scenery is beautiful, the spring breeze is warm, the flowers are blooming, and the faint fragrance of flowers spreads in all directions.

On a hillside that is not too high about 30 miles outside the city of Wu County, a floating temple is located here.

This Futu temple is not big, very new, only about ten years old, but the incense is very prosperous, people come and go, many of them are dressed up, obviously the big family in the city.

There are not many people who believe in Buddhism in Jiangdong, but in recent years, there is a person in Danyang, whose name is Rongrong, who is a loyal disciple of Buddhism, not only believes in Buddhism, but also spreads Buddhism everywhere and builds temples, so there are more people who believe in Buddhism in Jiangdong.

"Mother, Aunt Qin, Sister Cai, Futu Temple has arrived, you guys come down!" At the gate of the temple, Sun Quan jumped off his horse and said loudly to the carriage.

"Quan'er, your father and son fight and kill all day long, there are too many killings, your father is not there, you represent your father, and go in with your mother to worship the Buddha, and ask the Buddha for blessing." Wu Wan and the others stepped out of the carriage and looked at this temple, their beautiful eyes were shining, and there was a trace of piety.

"Me?"

Sun Quan shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't believe in Buddhism, the men of our Sun family, their fate is in control of the sword in their hands, and they don't seek heaven or earth, let alone Buddha." ”

"Quan'er, you and your father are the same!" Wu Qin covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You don't believe it, my mother believes it, although it is inevitable that you will die on the battlefield, but after all, it is murder, and it is not a good thing to kill and kill." Wu Wan was wearing a new white palace skirt and said bitterly.

"Quan'er, you're here, even if you say goodbye, it's a wish for me and your mother." Wu Qin and Wu Wan look very similar, that is, they are a little younger, with a good face, like a small jasper, and said quietly: "Your father and son are fighting outside all day long, and your mother and I are worried at home every day." ”

"Right, irreversible Madame's will!" Cai Yan took his little hand and said softly.

"Okay, you've all said that, what else can I do!"

Sun Quan shrugged his shoulders, looked at the dozens of guards behind him, and said helplessly: "The temple is not big, you just stay outside!" ”

"No!"

The head of the guard was a young man, named Sun Hong, who was the son of the Sun family, looked at Sun Quan and said respectfully.

This Futu temple is really not big, and there are not many Buddha statues enshrined, but Wu Wan, Wu Qin and Cai Yan are very respectful and pious, and they bow down one by one.

By the time a few people finished worshipping all the Buddha statues, it was already early afternoon, and there were still a lot of people in the Futu Temple at this time.

This middle-aged monk was very tall, and although he was wearing a robe, Sun Quan always felt that something was wrong.

"Hello madam, I'm the Siqing here, Xuanxuan!" The middle-aged monk looked at Mrs. Wu, clasped his hands, and said.

"Master Xuanxuan, I want to pray for my husband and light the longevity incense, is it okay?" Wu Wan looked at the middle-aged monk and said respectfully.

"Of course, ma'am, please come with me!" The middle-aged monk nodded, with a faint cold glint in his eyes.

"Wait!"

Sun Quan suddenly stood up and asked softly: "A certain Sun Quan, may I ask the master, when did you lead the temple in this Futu Temple?" ”

In the Han Dynasty, the abbot of the Buddhist temple had to get the degree of the government in order to be qualified for the temple.

"It's been five years since I returned to my son!" The middle-aged monk stared at Sun Quan, his pupils contracted slightly, but his face was very calm, and he replied softly.

Phew!

Sun Quan didn't say a word, he directly pulled out the sword at his waist, the long sword flickered, the speed was extremely fast, and a simple straight cut down, straight to the head of the middle-aged monk.

The middle-aged monk didn't expect Sun Quan to take out the sword directly, he was taken aback, and he was a little out of time, but he reacted quickly, and in the long sleeves, a long-hidden dagger was revealed, blocking Sun Quan's sword.

With a bang, sparks shot out, shaking the entire Futu Monastery, and the pilgrims who worshiped the Buddha saw this situation and immediately dispersed.

"Someone!" Sun Quan's sword momentum pressed straight down, and he let out a long shout.

"Quick, protect Madame, Childe!" Dozens of elite guards outside the temple were all heard by the people of a hundred battles, and as soon as they heard the shout, they broke in directly and surrounded Sun Quan and the others in the middle.
