After Que Xuan returned to Quyang, with Pang Tong's vigorous propaganda and Li Bin's cooperation, the news quickly spread. (Baidu search .com) during this period of time, there are a lot of Haoqiang, most of them are here to see the style, and some people are purely to inquire about the news, most of them are just out of the instinct of self-preservation, to see if they can bet on both sides, after all, Wang Yu's new policy is more than before, there is a little gap.

Of course, there are no heavyweights among them, even if those big families do things in a very orderly manner, even if they intend to take refuge, they will not openly come to the door when everyone else is tempting, and it is the safest way to send letters through vassals or subordinates.

So, the one who came to the door now is extraordinary.

This Duke Qiao is Qiao Mao's brother, Qiao Yu, the son of Qiao Xuan, a famous minister who once served as a captain, as an official family with a prominent family in the past dynasties, the family background of the Qiao family is slightly inferior to the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes.

Such a person came to visit, no wonder Zhuge Liang informed himself, presumably he regarded this as a huge result of his work.

Of course Wang Yu wouldn't think so, because he had dealt with the Qiao family a long time ago, so long that he couldn't remember it - at the beginning of the Sour Jujube Alliance, he and Qiao Mao had a relationship, and the latter mentioned the marriage at that time, which made Wang Yu very reverie, but it didn't take long for the princes to fight, Qiao Mao was killed by Liu Dai, and the matter ended without a problem.

Later, the years passed, and of course Wang Yu would not always forget it. But in the first two years after his marriage, the stomachs of the two wives have not moved, which made the old Wang Kuang and his wife very anxious.

Wang Yu heard afterwards that while he was smiling, the impact would inevitably deepen. Leng Ding heard Qiao Gong come to the door. Naturally, the memories were also hooked.

Think about it carefully, there is indeed a problem in this, Wancheng is far away in Lujiang County, thousands of miles away from Xuzhou, even if you really want to go south, you don't know the Year of the Monkey when you hit Wancheng, and the other party doesn't seem to have any reason to react to his new policy, right?

Maybe, the other party is really here to retell the story. Thinking so, Wang Yu met this Qiao Guolao, who was already famous in later generations.

The other party is not very old. Born with the most respected national character face of this era, with straight eyebrows and flat eyes, and a long strand of hair that reaches the chest is combed very neatly, showing elegance.

Think about it, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are the same age as themselves. When they marry wives, they can't marry a royal sister in their twenties, right? In this case, Er Qiao's father shouldn't be too old, anyway, it definitely won't be Qiao Xuan in the teleportation - in fact, Qiao Xuan died ten years ago, and it is impossible to have a daughter of Er Qiao's age.

"Qiao Yu of Anhui County, I have seen the hussar general." Just looking at the appearance, I don't feel how it is. When the other party got up to salute, Wang Yu immediately found a trace of familiarity in his memory, this person's appearance and demeanor were indeed very similar to Qiao Mao.

"Mr. Joe is polite." Although there was already some speculation in his heart, Wang Yu was not in a hurry to go straight to the point. Instead, he patiently greeted each other.

Qiao Mao's statement at that time seemed to be to discuss with the clansmen, but from the time he took the initiative to propose the sour jujube infighting, it was only a month or two. At that time, the military situation was quite urgent, and Qiao Mao may not have time to take care of these idle things. If the other party didn't mean it. If I mention it rashly, I'm afraid that my face will be a little unbearable.

Therefore, Wang Yu was not impatient.

He was not in a hurry, but Qiao Yu looked very anxious, and after a few words of greeting, he got up again and said: "I came here without telling you this time, there is a reason, there is a reluctant request in the next, dare to ask the general to retreat for the time being?" ”

Wang Yu was surprised, it seems that the other party really doesn't want to propose, this kind of thing is just and bright, what is there to avoid people's eyes? However, if you don't mention your relatives, what confidential things can the Qiao family in Wancheng find yourself?

With doubts, Wang Yu waved back the left and right guards, waiting for the other party to reveal the mystery.

"The Qiao family in the Xuan Dynasty, thank the general for his revenge first......" Qiao Yu was not in a hurry to get down to business, but thanked him first.

Wang Yu was startled at first, and after thinking about it, he wondered what was going on. It was Liu Dai who killed Qiao Mao at the beginning, and it was himself who defeated Liu Dai, Cao Cao killed Liu Dai very secretly, and it was publicized to the outside world, Liu Dai was seriously injured in the Battle of Chiping, and later died of his injuries, so this murder was also counted on his own head.

In this regard, Wang Yu did not make much defense, and it did not make much sense to argue. No matter who Liu Dai died at the hands of the end, it is a fact that he defeated the army under his command and left him with no capital to settle down. Therefore, even Liu Dai's own brother Liu Miao is more willing to regard himself as an enemy than Cao Cao.

There are too many lice to bite, Wang Yu doesn't care about a few more enemies, but he didn't expect that Liu Dai had other causes and effects, but gave the Qiao family a reason to repay the favor or pull the relationship.

Wang Yu humbly said: "Mr. Qiao is too polite. Not to mention that the relationship between Ben Jiang and Liu Dai is not a personal enmity, all because of his hard work, he has to try to protect himself and fight back, even with the friendship between Brother Gongwei and Ben Jiang back then, Mr. Qiao does not need to be so polite because of this matter. "As soon as we met, we talked about family affairs in a few words, Qiao Mao and myself should be considered to be superficial, right?

"No matter what, Gongwei's revenge can only be repaid by the general, and this kindness and virtue are far from being repaid by words." Qiao Yu thanked Dai De again, and then changed his words and said: "Speaking of Gongwei, before he was killed, he asked someone to bring a letter to Anhui County, and he mentioned his ......relationship with the general."

Wang Yu frowned slightly, and after a long time, is it still that?

But if it's that thing, it's over if you say no, why go around in such a big circle? Do you think you're going to dislike them? It's okay if someone else comes to propose marriage, but since he is from Er Qiao's family, how can he refuse? That's Erqiao!

Soon after receiving the letter, there was bad news from Gongwei, Suiyang City was too close to Yanzhou, and Liu Dai was blazing at that time, so Yu moved his family south to Anhui County to avoid trouble, but he didn't care about mentioning the old things with the general for a while. It has been delayed until recently, when I heard the news that the general went south to Xuzhou and won the battle, so I took the liberty to come to visit, first, to ask the front edge again, and secondly, to ask the general to save my Qiao family's life! ”

This turn was really a bit big, Wang Yu was taken aback and asked, "Where did Mr. Qiao start with this?" In a famous family like the Qiao family, who else would dare to make it difficult? ”

Qiao Yu sighed: "The general doesn't know, although my Qiao family is famous, it only has some famous connections in Suiyang's hometown, and here in Anhui County, it is only where the branch is located...... There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good and bad luck, and in troubled times, it is not a strange thing that disasters come to the door......"

After listening to his explanation, Wang Yu gradually understood why such a simple old thing was brought up again, but Lao Qiao had to go around in such a big circle.

Things are not complicated, the phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken, and after the Qiao family arrived in Anhui County, there are still a lot of troubles. Because of the grievances between Qiao Mao and Liu Dai, Liu Miao also eyed the Qiao family, and as a last resort, the Qiao family could only take refuge under Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang.

However, the good times did not last long, and since the third year of Zhongping, the situation in the Jianghuai area has changed abruptly. For the Qiao family, it was a good thing that Liu Miao was defeated by Sun Ce, but the skyrocketing power of Yuan Shu was not a good thing.

Sun Ce was still nominally a subordinate of Yuan Shu, and while Sun Ce suppressed the Jiangdong forces, Yuan Shu also began to expand aggressively into the Jianghuai area. The first to bear the brunt is Lujiang County on the north bank of the river.

"Yuan Shu sent an envoy to ask for food and grass for the army, but Lu Envoy Jun refused to obey, and the art was furious, and sent the general Liu Xun to attack it with heavy troops, besieged the city several times, and attacked day and night...... In the troubled times, it is normal for the city to change hands, and it has nothing to do with the big families in the city, but this time it is different from the past, Yuan Shu sent a detailed work, to the city to deliver the news, there are those who dare to help the defenders, after the city is broken, the family will be slaughtered! ”

Qiao Yu sighed and said: "My Qiao family entrusts Lu Envoy Jun's subordinates, he wants to defend the city, naturally he can't be regarded as not seeing, as early as the beginning of Liu Xun's siege of the city, the Qiao family has already contributed money and efforts to help defend the city, who wants to have such a sudden change?" Although Yuan Highway is a famous family, he is very ...... Brutal. ”

He shook his head and sighed: "And my Qiao clan is all in the city, if I go back on my word, not only will I not be able to get along with Lu Envoy, but I am afraid that I will be killed as an example to set an example, which is a dilemma." ”

Wang Yu bowed slightly, agreeing with the other party's statement, the situation of the Qiao family is indeed very bad.

Although Qingzhou's intelligence network is very thorough, Wang Yu still does not know about the war in Anhui County. Now it's a troubled time, and the spies in Qingzhou are concerned about the battles between the princes, the kind that can affect the general trend of the world. This kind of regional war between princes and local forces is happening almost all the time, how can Wang Yu pay attention to them one by one?

The information in his hands is at most an overview of Yuan Shu's attack on Huainan and Lujiang, and Liu Biao's attack on Jingnan.

But a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning to him was quite fatal to the Qiao family. Wang Yu didn't know who Lu Kang was, and he didn't think that he would be Yuan Shu's opponent, but since he dared to go against Yuan Shu, he should be somewhat sure.

In fact, it is not wrong, if it weren't for Liu Xun's unfavorable siege of the city, Yuan Shu wouldn't have needed to make such a move and run to threaten the clans in the city.

"Ling Zun and Gongwei are both celebrities for a while, and there must be a lot of protégés and former officials, although the road is not very good-tempered, but it will not be a little affectionate, right?"

"The general doesn't know." Qiao Yu sighed again: "The Qiao family has fallen to this point, and the matter of begging someone to dredge up will naturally not be able to pull down the face to do it, General Yuan's side has also been replied, but his request is ......"

Shaking his head, he explained, "Hanyu has two daughters, and although they are young now, they are quite colorful, and they have some reputation outside. What Gongwei mentioned to the general that day was the two of them, and Yuan Shu's request was that the father and son should take their two daughters as concubines...... It's not that Qiao is arrogant, but my Qiao family is also loyal and good, and when I am a famous family, how can I agree to such an unreasonable request. ”

What's more, although Gongwei has passed away, unless General Wang refuses in person, the promise of the year is valid. If Yuan Shu is arrogant like this, it is not only a bully to my Qiao family, but also a great disrespect to the general. ”

Wang Yu almost laughed, and now, he understood everything.
