In August of the fourth year of Jian'an, the battle of Youzhou, which lasted for eight months, ended with the Yang family's unification of Youzhou. The Yuan family's power in Hebei gradually declined as Yuan Shao and his three sons were defeated, and Yang Fan also became the real overlord of Hebei and looked at the Central Plains.

Because the Yang family army showed its sharpness and was too eye-catching, Cao Cao suddenly felt a sense of crisis. When the Yang family army conquered Youzhou, he had frequent contacts with Sun Ce from Yangzhou. The two of them reached a strategic alliance under their own counselors and decided to send troops to Jingzhou together.

On this day, in response to Cao Cao's invitation, Sun Ce brought a thousand soldiers and several important counselors north to Lujiang County, intending to meet with Cao Cao in Yangquan City to discuss the specific details in detail.

At first, Sun Ce didn't want to go north in person, but, as Zhou Yu said, just as he was patrolling the territory, Sun Ce agreed.

On that day, Sun Ce led his troops to Lujiang County and Wan County just crossed the Yangtze River.

Seeing that there were all the scholars and talents above the official road. They were in a hurry and seemed to have a big event. Sun Ce couldn't help but feel curious and wondered: "This scene is really strange. Why are all the scholars who study hard at home on weekdays come out today? Could it be that there will be any other literary works in Wan County?"

Zhou Yu joked: "Bofu, you are really a person sitting at home and not listening to worldly affairs! How can this be a literary master? Last month I heard that Mr. Qiao from Wan County is preparing to recruit a bride. It seems that these talented men are all for the beautiful girl!"

Zhang Zhao laughed and said, "When I was in Xuzhou, I heard that there was a manor outside the Wan County town called Qiao Mansion. The owner was called Qiao Gong by the people. He was a great charity within a hundred miles. Perhaps because of doing good deeds and virtues, he attracted the favor of God. Qiao Gong had two daughters and was born as beautiful as a flower. He was a master of the world and had a reputation! Now that Qiao Gong is seeking marriage, it will naturally attract many scholars and talented men and heroes, and plan to have a kiss with them. After all, everyone has a love for beauty!"

Xu Sheng smiled honestly and said, "Yes, I also heard of the two daughters of the Qiao family. The eldest daughter is called Da Qiao and the younger daughter is called Xiao Qiao. One is beautiful and smart, dignified and beautiful, and the other is petite and charming. The lord and Gongjin are both talents in my Jiangdong. Why don't you go together? If you can marry the two daughters of the Qiao family together, it will be a good story!"

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. Zhang Zhao quipped after hearing this, "No, right, General Xu's words are reasonable. The lord and Gongjin are both literary and military. They are the best heroes in our Jiangdong. Why don't you go to Qiao's mansion and find out what's going on?"

Sun Ce was better, but Zhou Yu was blushed. After all, he was only in his early twenties, and suddenly he was a little confused about such a thing. After all, a beautiful lady is a gentleman. Zhou Yu is in the rising period of his career. In addition, he is talented and suave, so he will inevitably have the idea of ​​attracting the opposite sex. However, Zhou Yu has a high opinion of himself and an ordinary beauties, how can he be able to see him? Now he has heard that there are two stunning girls not far away. At this moment, he has the idea of ​​going to see.

After being together for a long time, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu could naturally guess Zhou Yu’s thoughts. He put it on Zhou Yu’s shoulder and smiled: “Gongjin, look at you, you seem a little moved? Then let’s go to Qiao Mansion now. I also want to see with my own eyes what the beauty of Wan County, which is praised by the world, looks like. If Gongjin is interested, then I will become a beauty of a man. When I marry my sister, you will marry a younger sister, which is a good story! Haha..."

Zhou Yu looked embarrassed and replied angrily: "I'm afraid you want to go and see it yourself! You have to force me! Do you think I don't know what you are thinking?"

Sun Ce smiled carelessly and said, "What's wrong with this? I'm in my early twenties, and the two daughters of the Qiao family are in their marriage. This man has not been married and the daughter has not been married. It just happened to be suitable. If he is really as beautiful as a fairy, then I will marry them!"

In order not to disturb the purity of the people, Sun Ce asked his soldiers to rest on the spot, and only took Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Xu Sheng and several guards to rush to Qiao's mansion.

When you arrive outside Qiao Mansion, the scenery is beautiful and refreshing. A man-digged river surrounds the open space in the river. There is an ancient manor built on the open space. If you want to go to the manor, you must cross a small bridge. At this time, the small bridge is crowded with people, including young talents in white clothes, handsome and extraordinary, and heroic and unruly warriors.

Sun Ce wondered: "There are so many people, but why are they all just entering the mansion?"

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and analyzed: "There are so many people, and that manor is so big, which can accommodate so many people at the same time? If what I expected is right, there must be someone blocking the bridge at that bridge. If you want to cross it, you need to pass the test!"

Zhang Zhao nodded and smiled, "Since it is amazing, it is not something that everyone can see. It is also necessary to screen before entering the mansion!"

Sun Ce was so itchy that he smiled and said with a smile: "I can't wait, I'm leaving, let's go together!"

After coming to the crowd, seeing people everywhere, Sun Ce angrily said, "So many people are going to line up until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month?"

Xu Sheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, young master, I'll open the way for you!"

Yan Luo, Xu Sheng took a few guards and squeezed into the crowd, forcing them to squeeze out an aisle.

"Who is this!"

"Hey, I said, "Where are you, don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

"Boy, are you looking for death? Don't squeeze it!"

......

Xu Sheng's forced rush to the lineup naturally attracted some people's dissatisfaction, and curses suddenly started to rise and fall.

Xu Sheng shook his thick arms and retorted viciously: "What? Who wants to come up and gesture?"

It was dissatisfied just now, and now Xu Sheng made another provocative move. At that moment, several men came forward to try to teach Xu Sheng a lesson. However, Xu Sheng is a powerful general in the army. How could these men be their opponents? They were pushed to the ground in a few seconds. With the shock of force, the crowd involuntarily made a way out, allowing Sun Ce and others to walk to the front row.

When I came to the front of the bridge, I saw a wooden table placed next to the bridge. An old man was standing on the table and was drowsy. Around the old man were several strong servants guarding him.

At this time, a young scholar was standing in front of the old man, shaking his head and reading the poem aloud.

Before the young man finished reading, he was interrupted impatiently by the old man, and then scolded, "What are you saying, you kid? It's simply nonsense, you are talking nonsense, wasting my time in vain, next!"

After being scolded, the young man returned to the crowd dejectedly. After seeing this, Sun Ce walked directly to the old man and smiled confidently: "What is the test for this old man? But please tell me!"

When the old man saw that Sun Ce was so majestic, he immediately took a scruple in his heart. Then he pointed to the desk next to him and said, "This young master looks handsome, but whether he has real talent or not has real skills will be tested. Look, those desks have pianos, chessboards, books, white paper, pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings. The young master can choose to show it by himself. As long as I meet my requirements, I can cross the bridge and enter the mansion!"

Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this. He was not good at speaking. If it were military books, he would have taken a few more attention. As for other things, they were not within Sun Ce's cognition.

However, Sun Ce was a master who was used to fighting among the army. He was so frightened that he laughed and said, "Those, I don't know much!"

The old man asked suspiciously: "Does the young master want to compete?"

Sun Ce nodded and smiled, "If I only talk about martial arts, then I will still be a little confident!"

The old man nodded and understood, then turned to look at the burly men beside him, and ordered: "Go to someone and compete with this young master for martial arts. Remember, just click here! Do not hurt others!"
