Ding Tao.

Sun Ce stood on the city tower of the small city, looking at the horizon in the distance, his eyes were calm, and he could not see too much emotion. He just twisted his neck from time to time, making a crisp and light sound, making people feel a little nervous. Guo Wu and others held the spear and stood by, and several civil servants each took the case and focused on dealing with their own affairs.

Qiao Rui and Qiao Yu stood not far away, looking at each other, and did not dare to speak easily to disturb Sun Ce. They came to ask for Sun Ce, but they had already informed him, but they had not received any notice of Sun Ce's reception.

Sun Ce has been standing here for a while.

Every other hour, a fast horse would run along the official road north of the city to send the latest battle situation. It was said that it was the latest, and there would be at least one hour of delay. The two places were about a hundred miles apart. If the most urgent situation was to use three fast horses to relay the message, it would be at most half an hour. However, Sun Ce only received the message and had no intention of remote control command. He did not want to waste manpower and material resources like this, especially the war horses, otherwise Zhu Huan's proposal would be.

As I just received the news, the two armies faced off, Zhang Liao attacked and was caught by Wen Chou. Next, it was Qin Mu who angered Lu Bu and wiped out the Bingzhou army.

Will Qin Mu die at Lu Bu's hands? Sun Ce cannot guarantee it. However, with his understanding of Lu Yi, Lu Yi must have made the most comprehensive preparations. Although Qin Mu does not have outstanding personal abilities, he is his old subordinate after all. Behind him are Huang Zhong and his wife and Guanzhong people headed by Yan Xiang stand behind him. Lu Yi will not easily cause trouble. Take a step back, even if Qin Mu unfortunately dies in battle, this plan will continue as scheduled. With Lu Yi's habit, he will not leave any backup plan.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Lu Yi was bold and meticulous, and what was even more rare was that he was ruthless. Either he didn't take action, he would be deadly if he didn't take action.

The sound of light footsteps sounded, and the small bridge came up to the city, rushed over, turned around the corner of the city, and found Qiao Rui. Qiao Yu stood aside, stopped quickly, stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Hua'er has met his uncle and Ahon."

Qiao Rui glared at her. "What are you doing here? The king is waiting for the military newspaper. Don't disturb him, go down."

Xiaoqiao smiled disapprovingly and said, "Aweng, I have something important to report to the king."

"What can you have to do?"

"Confidentials cannot be disclosed." Xiaoqiao giggled twice, turned around and came to Sun Ce, tilted his body, and looked at Sun Ce. Sun Ce turned his head, glanced at her, and smiled and said, "Really cheating? The queen is not here. You, Ahon, are angry, but no one can speak for you."

"Will the king not help?"

"If you don't help, you are not from my palace."

Xiaoqiao pouted his plump and rosy lips, muttered something, and said, "I didn't make a falsification this time, it's true. The eldest princess didn't eat again this morning, and kept burning incense and praying for blessings in the house."

Sun Ce said, "What else?"

“Isn’t this important?”

"It's important, I'm asking if there are any other ones."

"No more." Xiaoqiao was a little disappointed and twisted for a while. Seeing that Sun Ce had no intention of keeping him, he had to sigh and turn and leave. The thick winter clothes blocked the curve of her body, but they could not stop her swaying grace and vigorous youth. Sun Ce admired for a moment and said loudly: "Xiaoqiao, where is your sister?"

"Sister..." Xiaoqiao stopped, hesitated for a while before turning half of his face. "Sister is accompanying the eldest princess."

Sun Ce waved. Xiaoqiao refused to return, but could not resist Sun Ce, so he had to put his hands behind his back and walked back reluctantly. Sun Ce said, "Don't accompany her, let her be alone. I have sent me a message to Xun Lingjun, and I will be here this afternoon recently."

"Oh." Xiaoqiao was listless and turned around and was about to leave. Sun Ce said again: "The New Year is coming soon. I have prepared two sable furs for your sisters. Will you feel sorry for the Filipino?"

"For us?" Xiaoqiao's eyes lit up instantly, with a shy expression on his face.

"It's rare to find ferrets, only two, one for each of you sisters."

"Thank you, the king." Xiaoqiao was overjoyed and took a secret look. Seeing Qiao Rui, Qiao Yu was looking here, but he didn't dare to be too arrogant. He endured the joy and asked again: "King... Isn't you really going to see the princess?"

"No need to look at it, it will make her embarrassed after looking at it."

"Well, that king thinks... the emperor will join the formation?"

Sun Ce frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. "I think the emperor should be ashamed of whether he wins or loses, whether he is life or death, and he should be a man. The world belongs to the Liu family, and life belongs to him."

Xiaoqiao tilted his head and thought for a while. "The king's words are getting more and more mysterious, and I can't understand." She laughed. "But it doesn't matter. I'll ask my sister. She knows the king's intentions best. No matter how mysterious the king says, she can understand." After that, she bowed to Sun Ce, shook her arm, and jumped away. Qiao Rui pointed at her with a regret, and she didn't care. She hummed a little song. Qiao Rui bowed to Sun Ce awkwardly. Sun Ce waved, and Qiao Rui hurriedly brought Qiao Yu to pay homage to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce looked at Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu was the son of Taiwei Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan gave birth to his son Chi, and he was only 40 years old. He was also very arrogant and did not allow his family to rely on his status to become an official. When he was alive, Qiao Yu was only the county magistrate. After he was alive, the world was in chaos and Qiao Mao was killed. The Qiao family was a little scared, so Qiao Yu kept unemployed at home. This time, Sun Ce went to Suiyang and Yanzhou was about to be pacified. Qiao Yu felt that he could go out of the mountain, so he asked Qiao Rui to bring him to see him.

As Yuan Shu's old subordinate, although Qiao Rui has never been valued, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Qiao Rui's daughter, who is so beautiful, will sooner or later enter the Palace of the Wu Kingdom, so there is no need to worry about the future of the Qiao family.

"Du Lu mentioned many times that when he was guarding Suiyang, Qiao Gong was mostly helpful. I was very pleased."

"As aware of the Tao, there are many helps. The king is practicing the king's way in Yuzhou. All the scholars and common people in Yuzhou are willing to help the king, not just Qiao."

"Lingzun is a minister of the country and is famous all over the world. I hope that Duke Qiao will inherit his legacy in the future, benefit his country and glorify his family."

"Dare not obeying the order." Qiao Yu was happy. With this sentence, he was at least a prefect.

"Rencheng Governor Ji Ling fights on the front line, and no one takes care of Rencheng. Zang Ba is responsible for defending the territory and is not good at government affairs. When will the bridge be convenient, you can set off to Rencheng to take office? Relevant documents will be sent to prepare for you."

Qiao Yu thought for a while. "At the time of the war, it's the New Year again. Things must be complicated, and it's always good to have one more person to help. If the king has no other instructions, I will get up and rush to Rencheng. It will take only more than three hundred miles and it will be up to two days."

Sun Ce smiled. Qiao Xuan has been dead for more than ten years, and Qiao Yu has been unemployed at home for almost ten years. He is really idle and cannot let him go whenever he has the chance. Besides, he only served as the county magistrate before, but now he is given a prefect of Rencheng, so he is of course satisfied. Although Rencheng is small, there are only three counties, after all, it is a county, and the Rencheng War Zone also includes several other counties.

"Bridge Gong is diligent in government affairs, which is admirable. It should not have delayed the reunion of Qiao Gong and his family, but I was eager to follow the power, so I worked hard on Qiao Gong."

"I dare not, I dare not."

Sun Ce immediately asked someone to prepare the pen and mo, and personally filled out a letter of appointment, and wrote a handwritten order, asking Qiao Yu to take it to hand over to Zang Ba. After completing the relevant procedures, Qiao Yu took the letter of appointment that the pen and mo were not dry and left with satisfaction. A messenger passed by him, and he was in a hurry and almost knocked Qiao Yu down. Qiao Yu was in a good mood, and saw that the messenger had a document in his hand, so he didn't say much, and he moved away without saying a word.

The messenger quickly walked to Sun Ce and bowed his body. "King, the enemy general Zhu Huan reported to you."

"read!"

"The emperor entered the formation!"

With Liu Ye's roar, dozens of cowhide drums exploded. The strong man with his upper body waved his muscled arms, swung his drum, and beat the cowhide drum hard. The rhythm became faster and faster, and gradually formed a thunder, swept away, echoing over the battlefield.

"All soldiers, fight bravely to fight the enemy!" The emperor kicked the horse out of the battle, raised the spear in his hand, and pointed forward obliquely. "Those who beheaded Zhu Huan will be granted the title of Qianhu Hou."

In fact, few people could hear his voice clearly amid the thunderous drums, but many people saw him. But it doesn't matter. The reward pattern was announced before the war. Everyone knows whose head is worth it, it depends on whether you have the ability to get it. Seeing that the emperor is so heroic and leading by example, many soldiers have aroused their blood, regardless of how powerful the opponent in front of them is and how slim the victory is.

No matter what the situation is, no matter what the people of Shandong have like to see the emperor, these soldiers who follow the emperor every day still admire the emperor. In recent years, especially during the Guzheng period, the emperor's performance was worthy of the four words "Young Master". There are many people who believe that he can revive the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Yun responded first, raised his spear and shouted. "Yulin left cavalry, follow me to attack!" The white horse under his crotch straddled forward and came to the emperor. The emperor heard Zhao Yun's voice and felt relieved. Then he looked at Ma Chao on the right wing. Ma Chao did not react for a moment, and subconsciously shouted "Yulin right cavalry, follow me to attack!" Kicking the horse out of the formation. After running two steps, he realized that something was wrong. It was too late to regret. The knights behind had already started charging. He couldn't stop, so he had to follow the trend, but he was not very active and controlled the speed intentionally or unintentionally.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. If Ma Chao did not respond, he would be embarrassed. Fortunately, Ma Chao had always been very proud and refused to show weakness. Since Zhao Yun joined the list, he has been reluctant to lose his temper and has to compete with Zhao Yun everywhere. He has developed a habit and is now being brought up with the rhythm.

If heaven does not destroy me, the Han Dynasty will not perish! If you seek victory in danger, you can expect revival.

A glimmer of hope arose in the emperor's heart, kicked the horse again and rushed towards the armored cavalry in the distance.

When the emperor rushed out of the battle formation, Chen Dao had already issued an order to prepare for the battle, and both sides launched attacks almost at the same time. However, the armored cavalry did not pursue speed. They laid the spear flat while running, and made of fine steel. The tip of the cold spear was pointed directly at the emperor and others who rushed towards the opposite side.

Even after more than a hundred steps, the emperor felt the pressure brought by the armored cavalry, like a giant sword slashing in the wind. No matter what it was, it could be broken with one blow, making people feel chilled and their hands and feet numb. Looking at the armored cavalry getting closer and closer, looking at the spear facing him, the emperor swallowed his saliva, held the shield tightly in his left hand, grabbed the horse reins and horse temples tightly, tightly clamped the horse's belly with his legs, leaned forward, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly.
