Gai Yi stood in the hall, with his little head held high, answering fluently, with a clear and clear voice. He had a bit of charm, and was not at all like his usual introverted personality.
Gaimo was lying on the desk, tilting his head, and something called envy kept overflowing from his big eyes. He said in his heart: My brother is really amazing. Not only can he shoot arrows accurately, but he can also ride horses handsomely. He even asks questions about his mother.
You can tell it with 10% certainty. If it were me, I would be dumbfounded. When will I be as powerful as brother?
Bian Wei is full of pride. Since joining the Gai family, she has worked hard to learn all kinds of knowledge and arts, and does not dare to relax for a moment. Although she is motivated and eager to learn, this only accounts for
Less than half, more of it, is because I was born in a prostitute family and I feel inferior, especially when facing the perfect Cai Wan, who is a lady among everyone.
Bian Wei has a ruthless spirit in her bones that is common to poor people. Even if she cannot catch up with Cai Wan in her lifetime, she will try to shorten the gap between the two.
But as her eldest son Gai Yi grew up and became wiser day by day, Bian Wei's heart gradually calmed down and she turned her attention to her son. Not only did his son never let her down, but he also constantly brought her surprises.
Seeing this, Bian Wei felt that her life was not in vain after all.
Looking at the energetic Gai Yi in the hall, Cai Wan couldn't help but be in a trance. She had never thought much about it, and suddenly thought of brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. The two were brothers in the clan line, but they were born from the same father.
In the battle between concubine and concubine, the two can be said to be the most representative figures today.
The two of them each supported a large state and established party members, regardless of the country, fighting for power and hurting each other. In the future, when the two brothers Gai Yi and Gai Mo grow up, will they develop into a situation where they are as incompatible as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu?
"No, no... As long as Gai Lang is here, he will not let things develop out of his control." Cai Wan kept comforting herself in her heart, but some things, once singled out, would be difficult to forget.
Or ignore it.
Gai Jun was in a different mood. The second son Gaimo was a born optimist and loved to have fun. He always gathered a group of officials' children to ride bamboo horses, play with mud, and dig out bird eggs... They walked through the streets and alleys in groups.
Gai Jun never paid attention to Cai Wan's complaints, because he believed that everyone must have an unscrupulous and memorable childhood, otherwise life will be flawed.
And Gai Yi studies in addition to studying every day. It is not because others force him, but because he forces himself. He has no time to play at all. Safari is his only entertainment, but it is not for fun, but to hone his riding skills.
Shoot, so that it will come in handy on the battlefield in the future.
Gai Jun's feelings towards his eldest son are very complicated. He is both happy and sad. What makes him happy is that his son is sensible, studious and talented since he was a child. He is more than one step ahead of his peers when he is a child. The gap will become bigger and bigger in the future.
It is bound to become something great. What is sad is that this is achieved at the expense of a monotonous and boring childhood.
Which one is more serious, even Gai Jun can't tell clearly.
After taking the Gaiyi exam, Gai Jun took Bian Wei and her son to another courtyard to visit their third son, Gaiba, who was sleeping. According to the age standards of this era, Gaiba was two years old, but in fact he was only more than fourteen months old.
Less than fifteen months.
When Gai Jun left home, he could only stand up tremblingly, walking stiffly with the support of adults, grinning or crying with his six small teeth exposed all day long, and sometimes he would let out a vague cry when he was in a good mood.
"Father." "Mother." They are in a bad mood. No one cares about you, the King of Heaven.
Now, I heard from Bian Wei that he has ten teeth. He chatters all day long and asks questions about everything he sees. He is always running, jumping, wrestling, and crying.
Gai Jun didn't know whether it was because of evil or something else, but Gai Yi, Gai Ba was absent from the most important period of his life.
A damn war, a war that is so stupid, a war that cannot be avoided.
--------------------------
Yangzhou, Lujiang County, Shu County.
There is Queweizhu in Shu County. Its outer ring is on both sides, with three continents in the middle and three rivers running through it. The scenery is infinite, with small bridges, flowing water and houses. It is a unique beauty of Jiangdong, making people want to blend into nature involuntarily.
. However, people are selfish animals. Wherever there are people, there will be disputes. Even a peach garden with such beautiful scenery cannot avoid the invasion of war. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the most chaotic. The Han Dynasty was at peace for hundreds of years, but there were few wars.
A man stood by the bridge, ignoring the picturesque scenery, and let out a long sigh. The man was more than seven feet tall, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a white face and no beard, eyebrows like ink paintings, and like a sharp sword, thrust straight into his temples.
With bead-like eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, he is actually a handsome man on the same level as Xun Yu and Yang Aruo. Xunyu has the air of a humble gentleman, while Yang Aruo has the appearance of a man who brings disaster to the country and the people, while he has a handsome air that is compelling
, the whole person is like his pair of sword eyebrows, sharp and hurtful..
He is the eldest son of Sun Jian, the governor of Yuzhou under the leadership of General Polu. His surname is Sun Mingce and his courtesy name is Bofu. He is seventeen years old this year. In the first year of Zhongping, his father Sun Jian was worshiped by Zhu Jun as Zhonglang General, so they gathered in Huaihe and Si Zhu boys
Thousands of people were preparing to attack the Yellow Turban Moth Bandits. At that time, the Yuzhou Moth Bandits were arrogant and arrogant under the leadership of Marshal Bo Cai. They repeatedly defeated the officers and soldiers, and the court could not control them for a while. Sun Jian waited for the court to mobilize the Han generals from the border army and temporarily stationed in Shouchun, Jiujiang County, Yangzhou.
, Shouchun is less than a hundred miles away from Runan, Yuzhou, and can be reached in one day.
During this period, Sun Jian once sent a letter to his family to tell Tu Shouchun, but before the two parties could meet in person, Sun Jian received the order and plunged into the torrent of the great era. Sun Ce was ten years old at the time.
In the past few years, Sun Jian's official position became bigger and bigger based on his actual military exploits, while Sun Ce became more and more outstanding as he grew older. When he was fifteen or sixteen, he asked his father for a cousin's name on the grounds that it was necessary to have a friendship with others, and at the same time he began to make friends.
He was well-known and had a good reputation. Later, Sun Jian raised his volunteers and defeated Dong Zhuo twice. Sun Ce became even more popular and ranked first among the young doctors in Yangzhou.
However, the keen Sun Ce felt an ominous atmosphere, starting from the time when Zhou Ang was the governor of Jiujiang. At this time, he met a man who was studying in Shouchun. The two were of the same age, and they hit it off.
He was a few months older and treated him as a brother.
Sun Ce has always been conceited, but his sworn brother is really a genius with far-sighted vision and the ability to predict events like a god. He first analyzed the general trend of the world to Sun Ce and concluded that the two Yuan Dynasties would have a battle. He might be killed if he stayed alive, so why not come to my house?
.
Sun Ce thought of it and followed him south, where he lived temporarily in Shu County, Lujiang County.
Not long ago, what his sworn brother had said came true. Yuan Shao disregarded the interests of the country and ordered General Cao Cao and the puppet governor of Yuzhou Zhou Zhe to go south. Zhou Xin, the governor of Danyang, and Zhou Ang, the prefect of Jiujiang, went north. They attacked Yuzhou with a thunderbolt.
The unstoppable force swept through Yuzhou, and in a blink of an eye, only Runan was left among the six counties and was still struggling to support itself.
"Alas..." Sun Ce sighed again.
"Brother, why are you sighing alone here?" A clear and melodious voice came from behind.
Sun Ce did not turn around, and the next moment the owner of the voice came to his side. It was his adopted brother Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin. He was two or three inches taller than Sun Ce, and he was of such stature at the age of seventeen. Even if it's not as big as eight feet, it's still close. Zhou Yu's eyes are calm and wise under his long dark eyebrows, his nose is as straight as a peak, his lips are protruding, and his white teeth are fresh on the inside. He is such a strange man with an air of strength like jade, standing with Sun Ce. , not even half a point inferior.
Zhou Yu is a descendant of the Zhou family in Lujiang. His father Zhou Yi was promoted to the Luoyang Order, and his uncle Shang was also well-known in Yangzhou. The family was a little more remote, and within three generations, his grandfather Jing became the Grand Lieutenant of the Three Lords. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Jing is an old official of Yuan Shu's grandfather Yuan Tang, and the relationship between the two families is particularly close.
Sun Ce did not answer, but Zhou Yu was not discouraged and asked persistently: "Brother, why are you sighing alone?"
Sun Ce was upset. When he heard this, he frowned and glanced sideways. Zhou Yu's eyes were still as calm as a lake. The two looked at each other for a long time, and Sun Ce had no choice but to compromise. The only people in the world who can make him feel weak are his parents, and now there are more of them. One person said slowly: "Today Yuzhou is in ruins, rebellious ministers are rampant, and the scholars and people are gnashing their teeth. I regret that I am young and ignorant, and cannot share my father's worries, so I sigh."
Zhou Yu said disapprovingly: "Brother is seventeen, what does it mean to be young? What does it mean to be ignorant when a young man is trying to make a name for himself? Pang ordered Ming to enter the battle formation at the fourteenth, beheaded several levels, worship him as a school captain at the sixteenth, become a Zhonglang general at the twenty-first. Promoted to a general. Can't the eldest brother be the leader of General Sun?"
Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said: "General White Horse, a handsome young man. Although I am confident, how can I dare to compare with him?"
Zhou Yu glanced at him and said nothing. He stared deeply at the beautiful scenery. He didn't know how much time had passed before he suddenly said, "Can you and I add up?"
Sun Celang's eyes suddenly lit up, like bright pearls. He grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and said, "Are you serious about this?"
Zhou Yu nodded with a smile.
Sun Ce looked up to the sky and laughed and said: "Hahahaha Gong Jin has read military books and miscellaneous histories since he was a child. He has profound strategies and wise plans. If Gong Jin can help me, my two brothers will definitely accomplish something earth-shattering if we join forces." Sun Ce laughed again, his face suddenly changed, and he asked, "I invited Gong Jin several times before, but Gong Jin was unmoved. Why have I changed my mind now?"
Zhou Yu knelt down, inserted his hand into the crystal clear river and fiddled with it. A faint smile appeared on his unparalleled handsome face, and he said meaningfully: "Of course it's because the eldest brother is depressed..." Sun Ce's depressed appearance was not the true emotion in his heart, but It was done to show him that Sun Ce was plotting, and he just wanted to use the emotional card to force Zhou Yu to submit.
Sun Ce was silent for a moment, turned to look at Zhou Yu, and asked, "Gong Jin, don't you blame me?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "Since we have become sworn friends to Jinlan, the eldest brother is now determined to make contributions, and since he values his younger brother's talents over his talents, he will naturally follow his lead."
Sun Ce laughed and said, "Haha, I wonder what the difference will be if I come back here ten years later?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it too."
