Liu Bei and Chunyu Qiong hoped to attack Cao Cao in one fell swoop. However, the ideal was full and reality was skinny. It was beyond Liu Bei and Chunyu Qiong's expectations. Chunyu Qiong had just seen Yangping City when he was suddenly besieged by 80,000 Cao troops. Although Yuan Shao's army tried his best to resist, it was disrupted by a small but very powerful iron-armored war cavalry, and then could not resist the siege of Cao's army from all directions, and the entire army collapsed. This powerful iron-armored war cavalry was the tiger and leopard cavalry trained by Cao Cao imitated the tiger and iron cavalry under Ai Lang. This was their first appearance on the battlefield. Even Cao Cao himself did not expect that the tiger and leopard cavalry made a splash and destroyed Yuan Shao's defense in one fell swoop. He helped the army fight and defeated the 50,000 army led by Chunyu Qiong!

When Chunyu Qiong was fighting with Cao Cao's army, the three brothers Liu Bei had already led their troops out of the city to try to break through the Cao army's blockade and rescue Chunyu Qiong. However, before they could defeat the Cao army, they saw the scene of Chunyu Qiong's army being defeated from a distance. Liu Bei's three brothers were shocked, and Zhang Fei couldn't help but shout and scolded: "This Chunyu Qiong is really useless!" Liu Bei said anxiously: "Retreat back to the city!" The three brothers hurriedly led their troops to retreat into Yangping City.

Chunyu Qiong lost a lot and did not dare to stay, so he crossed the Yellow River and fled north.

Cao Cao solved Chunyu Qiong's troops and immediately surrounded Yangping, let go of the north, but attacked with all his might in the east and south. Yangping City was like a small boat in the stormy waves, as if it would be flooded by the big waves at any time. Liu Guan and Zhang all went to the wall to guard it, but felt that it was gradually unable to support it. Liu Bei felt that if Yuan Shao's reinforcements could not arrive in time, the consequences would be unthinkable. In order to persist for longer, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to take advantage of the night to protect everyone's family, food, food, and supplies. He went to Leping City in the north. Liu Bei hoped that the two cities could support each other and could resist the Cao army's offensive for a longer time. At the same time, Liu Bei was also making a retreat for himself. If Yangping could not resist, then Guan Yu could protect everyone's family, food, food, and supplies and supplies and retreated into Jizhou.

Qiaojiazhuang, Wan County.

On this day, many big men suddenly came to the outside of Qiaojiazhuang with a large number of silk, satin, gold, silver and jewelry. The middle-aged man led the middle-aged man up the steps and knocked on the copper ring on the door.

Old Wu opened the door and saw the scene outside the door. He was shocked and shouted, "What's going on?"

The middle-aged man smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I am from Jiangdong. I'm here to pay homage to Mr. Qiao." Then he took out a roll of bamboo slips and put them on, and said, "This is my master's handwritten letter. Please submit it to Mr. Qiao!"

Old Wu took the bamboo slips and bowed and said, "Please wait." Then he retreated back into the door, closed the door again, and rushed to the bedrooms of Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao in the backyard, and said anxiously: "Master, madam, a guest came outside, saying that he came from Jiangdong! This is a handwritten letter from their master to give to the master!" As he said that, he presented the roll of bamboo slips to Mr. Qiao.

When Mr. Qiao heard that people from Jiangdong came, he was very surprised and said, "I have never had any contact with people from Jiangdong. Who is this?" As he said that, he took the bamboo slips and unfolded them. He looked at them with a sudden look of shock on his face and said stutteringly: "This, this is actually the letter written by Lord Sun Jian, the Lord of Jiangdong!?" Mrs. Qiao and Lao Wu were both shocked when they heard this. Mrs. Qiao hurriedly asked, "How could Lord Sun Jian write a letter written to the master?"

Mr. Qiao did not answer, and finished reading the letter, frowned and said, "Mr. Sun Jian is here to propose marriage, and he is here to propose marriage for his eldest son, Sun Ce and military advisor Zhou Yu!" Mrs. Qiao was startled at first, then overjoyed and said excitedly: "Sun Jian is a famous hero in the world. Now he has a strong presence in Jiangnan. He can be said to be one of the most powerful princes in the world. If he can marry his daughter to them, it will not only be good to his two daughters, but also to our Qiao family!"

Mr. Qiao couldn't help but think of the guy who had come to his house before, who called himself Ailang. He had long thought that Ailang was just his pseudonym. He should be an important general under Lu Bu. He originally wanted to marry Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao to Ailang, but this matter has not been implemented in the planning stage yet. I don't know if Ailang has such a intention. Now that Sun Jian's proposal document has been sent, he is willing to marry his eldest son Sun Ce and military advisor Zhou Yu. This is much better than Ailang who has no real identity. If his two daughters can marry Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, it can be said that the best choice.

When Mr. Qiao thought of this, he couldn't help but make up his mind and said to Lao Wu: "Follow me to welcome the distinguished guests!" Mr. Qiao hurried to the gate accompanied by Lao Wu. Old Wu opened the gate, and Mr. Qiao went out to greet the middle-aged man and said, "If you are at the door, you will be welcomed by the guests. Forgive me!"

The middle-aged man quickly clasped his fists and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!"

Mr. Qiao was secretly happy when he saw dozens of men carrying a large number of betrothal gifts behind the middle-aged man, and quickly invited everyone into the hall.

In the hall, the middle-aged man presented two gift lists to Mr. Qiao and said, "This is the betrothal gift from the eldest son Sun Ce and the military advisor Zhou Yu. Please check it out!"

Mr. Qiao quickly took two gift lists and looked at them separately. Sun Ce hired Da Qiao, with all kinds of gold, jade, silk, silk, and satin; while Zhou Yu hired Xiao Qiao, with the betrothal gift similar to Sun Ce's.

Mr. Qiao was very happy when he saw the betrothal gift, and clasped his fists and said, "I am so flattered by the people!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Would you like to take the betrothal gift?"

Mr. Qiao nodded repeatedly: "I'm willing! How can you not want such a good marriage?"

The middle-aged man said, "Since that's the case, please ask the two girls out and we set off immediately!" Seeing Mr. Qiao's face looked puzzled. The middle-aged man explained, "This is Lu Bu's place after all. If Lu Bu realizes that our young master and military advisor come here to hire him, I'm afraid something will happen!"

Mr. Qiao suddenly realized and felt that what the other party said was reasonable. Then he was worried about another thing and asked, "If Lu Bu knew that Lao I was married to Jiangdong, wouldn't it be a risk of being taken hostage?" The middle-aged man said, "You don't have to worry, my lord, the eldest son and the military advisor, please ask Mr. Qiao and his family to go to Jiangdong immediately with us! Now the boat is waiting on the river. Now you can hurry up and board the boat to cross the river at dawn tomorrow."

Seeing that Mr. Qiao was hesitant and understood that he was reluctant to leave the manor here and the wealth of family wealth accumulated over the years, he said: "The lord has prepared a mansion for the old man and his family in Wujun. The area is more than ten times larger than this villa. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is beautiful. The slaves and maids are all arranged properly. The old man does not have to miss this place. As for the family luggage, the confidant servants can take it slowly afterwards. In short, everything is prepared by Jiangdong, so the old man must not hesitate."

Mr. Qiao was so thoughtful when he heard that the other party was preparing so thoughtful, and he couldn't help but feel very moved. He hesitated for a moment and said with his fists: "Sir, I still need to explain this to my two daughters. I can't get up today. I will definitely leave early tomorrow morning! I'll ask the adults and all their subordinates to rest in the village for one night. How about we leave early tomorrow morning?"

According to the middle-aged man's wish, it would be best to leave now. However, he knew that it would be inappropriate to be so hasty, so he nodded and fisted and said, "Everything is up to the old man!" Mr. Qiao was very happy to see that the other party respected him so much, so he immediately asked Lao Wu to take everyone to the guest room to rest, and he rushed to the back to convince his daughter. In his imagination, both daughters were very obedient, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both among the people, so there should be no reason for their two daughters to obey.

When I arrived outside Daqiao's embroidery building, I suddenly heard Daqiao's crying sounds coming out one after another. I was shocked and was about to go in. At this moment, I saw the lady coming out and hurried forward to ask: "Madam, what's wrong? Why did Daqiao cry?"

Mrs. Qiao said with a smile: "It's nothing, I was trying to persuade her to come. Da Qiao was reluctant at first, but she was already in love with Ailang, who had visited our house before. However, I told him about Sun Ce's benefits, and said that if their sisters could marry to Jiangdong, they would definitely let us enjoy our old age and let the Qiao family shine brightly on their ancestors! After hearing what I said, she finally agreed!"

Mr. Qiao frowned and said, "Since she is in love with Ailang, will there be any trouble?"

Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "She and Ailang are just a match. How deep can they have? I believe she will forget that person after the wedding!"

Mr. Qiao nodded and said, "I'll go see her!" As he said that, he was about to go in. Mrs. Qiao stopped him and said, "It's better to let her be alone!" Mr. Qiao thought about it, so he didn't go in.

"Xiao Qiao, have you told her?" asked Mr. Qiao.

Mrs. Qiao said, "I'm going to her place." Mrs. Qiao said, "I'll go with my wife." The two of them came to Xiao Qiao's embroidery building together. Mrs. Qiao said, "I'll go and tell her, Master, you'll wait outside." Mrs. Qiao asked with some concern, "There won't be a problem, right?" Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao has always admired Jiangdong people, and she praised Zhou Yu even more. Now that she knows that she can marry Zhou Yu, she is only very happy. How can there be any problem!" Mrs. Qiao nodded with a smile. Mrs. Qiao walked into the embroidery building.

Mr. Qiao was waiting outside. "I don't want it!" Xiao Qiao's excited shout suddenly came from the embroidery building. Mr. Qiao was surprised and rushed into the embroidery building. When he arrived upstairs, he suddenly saw Xiao Qiao stalking his sword in front of his neck, and was about to commit suicide. He was immediately scared and shouted: "Xiao Qiao, what are you doing?"

Xiao Qiao's face was flushed and she shouted with infinite excitement: "I won't marry that Zhou Yu! If you insist on marrying him, I will have to die!"
