Brothers are like hands and feet, and wife is like clothes. Clothes are torn and can still be sewn; hands and feet are broken, can they be sustained?

When the cold swords and guns burst out with bloody glory, human nature also changed. In the political struggle between life and death, family affection has become a tool for winning more than once. Therefore, it was not surprising that Lu Bu used his daughter, who was only thirteen, as a bargaining chip for rescue.

In addition to being a traitor, women have another function, which is a political accessory. This originated from the Xia and Shang dynasties. The confusing Daji, who did not go to court early, was also a tribute after the family's failure.

In the eyes of the princes, women are just dolls that come and go when they are summoned. Not only Lu Bu, but also Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Liu Biao, the so-called heroes who dominate for the time, do not think so.

Except——, with one person.

This person is Gao Chong.

"No, I, Gao Chong, would rather die in battle than give my wife and children to others for the sake of survival. If you want to die, you should learn from the way King Chu was like, and you will die together?"

"But what's the use of a woman who cannot protect herself even if she is praised as a hero by everyone!" Gao Chong asked himself.

"What do you think?" Chen Qun couldn't help asking when he saw Gao Chong not answering for a long time.

Gao Chong came back to his senses, and his dark face showed no resolute determination, and said, "You go back and tell Mr. Wen, that the people from Jiangdong will definitely arrive in Xuzhou on time. I have accepted the jade seal. As for Mr. Wen's daughter, if she was willing to live in Moling, she could come at any time. Jiangdong would not refuse an innocent girl."

Chen Qun was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Sir, Gao Yi, Qun is grateful!"

Gao Chong laughed and said, "I sent troops to save you, why did you thank me?"

Chen Qun's eyes turned red at this time and he said, "My father is still stranded in Xia Pi. If he is unsuccessful in this mission, his father's life may not be guaranteed!"

Gao Chong was furious when he heard this. Lu Bu was really full of martial arts. Chen Qun's father Chen Ji was once the Shangshu Ling and had a considerable reputation in the court. Once such a man-centered coercion was done, it would make the scholars in the world feel disappointed. No wonder Lu Bu was a decent adviser beside Chen Gong.

Thinking of this, Gao Chong then said to Chen Qun: "I see that you are gentle and have good conversations. Why should you stay in Lu Bu? It would be better to go to Jiangdong than to be worried all day long."

Chen Qun smiled bitterly and said, "If my father was not still in Xia Pi, would I really want to not return when I arrived in Jiangdong this time?"

Gao Chong said in a deep voice: "Okay, the word filial piety is the first, which is reasonable. If Changwen welcomes his family back in the future, it would be better to come to Jiangdong again to surrender. Regarding the matter of sending troops, you can go back and tell Lu Bu that I will definitely send troops."

When Chen Qun left, Chen Deng said hurriedly: "Pampered coach, are you really going to save Lu Bu? Lu Bu is capricious and suspicious. Even if he is brave, how can he stop Cao and Liu's army with his own strength?"

Gao Chong watched Chen Qun's back as he walked away, and thoughtfully said, "Yuanlong, don't you think Xuzhou is a little too lonely if we are missing us?"

Chen Deng was stunned and advised: "People the general, and now he will risk breaking with Cao Cao when he agrees to Lu Bu's request. However, the enemy of Sun Quan, Jiangdong, has not been slapped. If he offended Sikong Cao Cao, he may--!" Chen Deng was scheming and intelligent, and had great ambitions. Although his words were not listened to, they were at the critical point.

"Yuanlong, it is not the ambition of our Jiangdong men who have to stay in a corner. I want to go north not to Lu Bu, but to demonstrate my Jiangdong's strength. Cao Cao's previous period prevented me from taking over as the governor of Yangzhou, which shows that he is wary of me. It is hard to say that this attack on Lu Bu is not to prepare for the future of going south to Jiangdong. So instead of watching him take Xuzhou, it is better to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the fire and get millet from the fire." Gao Chong said, while gently holding a dry willow branch hanging beside the road in the palm of his hand, and exerting force with both hands, he squeezed the already fragile dead branches into a pile of pink.

"The meaning of pampering the coach is to use force to force him - I'm afraid Cao Cao will not dare to submit!" Chen Deng said with a smile in a daze.

Gao Chong laughed and said, "Only Cao Gong, the heroes in the world have come to my eyes. Unfortunately, I have never been able to see each other. I don't know that Yuanlong is interested in traveling to Peiguo with me and enjoy the scenery of the northern country that is different from the south of the Yangtze River."

"The ambition of favoring the general is rare and endless, and it is not enough to reach the end. Now if you have a dispatch, you should follow him!" Chen Deng said.

Chen Deng's mansion is located in the northeast corner of Guangling. The front door is bustling, and the backyard is quite quiet. When you open the yard door and go out, it is not far away. It is a lake with clear water (now the West Lake). Looking into the lake, the waves are waving and the cold moon is silent. It is a good place to cultivate one's own character.

Chen Deng was ill for a long time, and those doctors who were invited by him to treat him were arranged to live here. Yu Ji, who was skilled in medicine, was naturally valued and his place of residence was also different. The beautiful scenery of the lake made Yu Ji, who had traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Jiangnan, loved him so much that he had lived there for about half a year.

As her master lived here for a long time, although she had confessed her feelings to Gao Chong, she still chose to stay away from Gao Chong because she couldn't get rid of her shame.

Guangling and Moling are only one word apart, and they are only a river. This is not an insurmountable distance, just like the distance between Lu Ti and Gao Chong, sometimes far and sometimes close, caring for each other, but also testing each other.

Gao Chong went to Guangling in Beijing and this time, for Lu Bu, one was for Lu Ti.

This time, Gao Chong was determined to make a marriage request to Lu Ti upright. As a man, Gao Chong understood that it was time to muster up the courage.

The fallen leaves pave the path on the lake embankment softly. When you step on it, it seems to be there or not, exuding a warm atmosphere.

"Shao Chong, have you really decided?" Lu Ti asked with a red face. At this time, she was wearing white clothes and her long black hair hanging behind her shoulders. Although it was simple, she had a different charm.

Gao Chong smiled, stared at Lu Ti's eyes intently, and said, "Yes, I have decided. When I go back later, I will ask Master Ling to marry you. And this time I go north to Xuzhou, I want you to accompany you. When we come back, we will get married."

Hearing Gao Chong expressing his love without any concealment, Lu Ti blushed like a ripe apple, and his voice was as low as a mosquito, saying, "But, where Musha and Qiao Yu--!"

Gao Chong hugged Lu Ti's slender waist and leaned into her ear and said, "Two days ago, Musha wrote to me that she had been waiting for you to reunite in Yuzhang. As for Ayu, when she came, she said--If I can't marry you, I will not allow me to enter her door!"

Lu Ti was overjoyed when she heard this. Her heart that had been reserved for a long time was finally let go. She was so flirtatious that Gao Chong was so flirtatious that she just spat: "It's so unserious."

"If I'm serious, I'm afraid you won't like it." Gao Chong laughed.

On November 20, the third year of Jian'an, at the Guazhou Ferry, flags were waving and people shouted and horses were neighing.

This time, Gao Chong decided to lead only 8,000 soldiers to the north, and those who were accompanied were Zhou Yu, Xu Shu, Taishi Ci, Ling Cao, Lei Xu, Mei Gan, Chen Deng, He Qia and others. Among these eight thousand soldiers, in addition to the Lei Xuzhong army who had always followed Gao Chong, there was mainly the rebuilt Taishi Ci army, which was mainly composed of Danyang soldiers, and the other part was the soldiers of Kuaiji County who surrendered with Ling Cao.

Of course, Jiangdong's strength is more than these 8,000 people, but considering the food and grass supply support and internal instability, Gao Chong kept the main forces Lu Xun, Gan Ning and Zhu Huan in Jiangnan. In addition, the troops stationed in various counties such as Li Tong, Xu Sheng, Huang Zhong, etc., stabilizing the situation should not be a problem.

"Zijing, Mr. Gu, after I went north this time, I will ask the two of you for everything in Jiangdong!" Gao Chong looked up and his integrated black armor set off his whole body with a heroic posture. Compared with Zhou Yu, who was in silver helmet and white armor beside him, it was clearly black and white, each with its own strengths.

Lu Su and Gu Yong nodded at the same time, with a solemn expression on their faces. Lu Su pondered for a moment before he stepped forward and advised: "People the commander, should you consider the move to the north? If there is no Praise Commander sitting in the formation, the Sun Quan remnants who are hiding in the dark will wait for an opportunity to counterattack. If the time comes," as the prime minister, Lu Su's burden on his shoulders is not light.

Gao Chong laughed loudly, interrupted Lu Su's words, and said, "Zijing, why are you so unconfident in yourself? I am sure that you and Gu Gong have the ability of you. With you, Sun Quan Yu Kou is just a few small fish ears, and will not cause any big waves. Besides, if I stay in Jiangdong, how could those foolish and loyal guys come out to die?"

Gao Chong's words made Taishi Ci and Lei Xu laugh. Indeed, if Gao Chong had been in charge of Moling, the remnants of Sun Quan who thought there was no chance would continue to choose to hide. Although this result temporarily stabilized the current situation in Jiangdong, if Gao Chong really encountered a great enemy in the future, it would be a big trouble for these people to come out to cause trouble again.

Now, Gao Chong's departure is just a toxic bait. If you eat it, everyone understands the result.

"People the general, according to General Pengze and Xu Sheng's newspaper, Jiangxia Huang Zujun has been frequently mobilized recently, so I'm afraid it's not a good sign?" Lu Su was meticulous. After becoming the prime minister, he never tires of handling affairs and is in order. He can classify some important information one by one and report it in time, which saves Gao Chong a lot of thought.

Taishici continued: "Zu Huang, this old boy has been idle for a long time and wants to send him a sao again?"

He Qia advised at this time: "The favorite commander is empty, Yuzhang is only in Pengze in the county, and Xu Shengjun is guarding it. If Huang Zu intends to invade at this time, it is the time."

Lei Xu was furious when he heard this and shouted loudly: "He Huang Zu is worthy of it. Did he hit him a few times before, but his butt itched and wanted to let us beat him a few more times?" This slutty sentence made everyone laugh.

Gao Chong's eyes moved and asked, "Huang Zu probably hasn't had the courage to do this. The military advisor, the spy stationed in Jingzhou, has any new information?"

Xu Shu and Mei Gan looked at each other, took out a secret letter from the cuff, and handed it to Gao Chong: "This is the news I just obtained an hour ago. I was about to report to Chongshuai that Liu Biao's army was acting abnormally in the direction of Jiangling. Recently, he frequently performed navy in Dongting Lake. I heard that the general Wen Pin had transferred defense from the Xinye North Line to the southern Line."

Wen Pin——, this name is Gao Chong. Wen Pin was a big deal in Jingnan. In the battle of Jizhoukou, Gao Chong was seriously injured and his personal guards were completely wiped out. The loyal commander Zhou Bing also died.

"Then Gan Ning, the Jinfan Army was sent up along the river from Chaohu Lake, and cooperated with the Pengze defenders to block Huang Zu. In addition, Li Tong led his troops to withdraw from Jian'an and Dongyang areas and advance towards Jingnan!" Gao Chong sorted out his chaotic thoughts and said to Lu Su.

"People the handsome guy, wait a moment!" Zhou Yu, who had never spoken, suddenly stepped forward and said.

Gao Chong asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with Gong Jin?" Gao Chong had already experienced Zhou Yu's ability. At this critical moment, Gao Chong naturally hoped to get Zhou Yu's pertinent advice.

Zhou Yu was not too anxious and said in a deep voice: "From the perspective of Commander Liu Biaojun, everyone thought they wanted to attack our army, which one should they choose as a breakthrough?"

"Pengze, of course, is Pengze. As long as Pengze is conquered, all the counties in Yuzhang can be occupied, and you can wait for an opportunity to force Moling in the future!" He Qia said.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Several years ago, Liu Biao first led Jingzhou and sent an edict to all places to eliminate rebellions. He still had the ambition to make progress. However, today, his energy has become increasingly heavy, and he is thinking about it. I am worried that his purpose of mobilizing the army was not to go down the river and plotting against Jiangzuo, but to the three counties in Jingnan."

Gao Chong nodded with satisfaction and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty is so handsome that you can't read the wrong person." Since Li Tong reinforced Luling, he stayed in Jingnan except for Huanjie, Zhao Lei, Gong Zhi and others, and this is the disadvantage of Gao Chong's long front. Since Gao Chong moved the capital to Moling, the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling in the southern front have become Gao Chong's weakest link.

"Although Li Tong is capable, he cannot support the overall situation of Jingnan with his own strength. Yu recommends a general and uses him as a favorite commander, so he can compete with Liu Biao's tens of thousands of soldiers!" Zhou Yu said.

"I wonder who Gong Jin recommends?" Gao Chong was completely impressed by Zhou Yu's ability. For a long time, he had longed for a general who could think about problems at the same level as himself. Zhou Yu's appearance fulfilled Gao Chong's wish.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said, "I know this man who is a handsome man, even if it is Runan Lu Fan."

Lu Fan———Gao Chongping was moved, the battle between Songjiang and Huating was strictly the last struggle of Sun Quan's power. Although Zhou Yu made the decision, it was Lu Fan who served as the vanguard of the battle. Based on his recognition of Lu Fan's ability, Lu Fan was entrusted by Gao Chong to guard Wu County by Gao Chong.

"Ziheng saw sincerity and was keen. He might as well pull out his army and send him and Li Tong to defend Jingnan together. In this way, he could rely on each other and not be confused when facing the enemy." Zhou Yu advised.

Gao Chong nodded and said, "According to Gong Jin's words, Zijing, you will send someone to Wujun again, and take Lu Fan to set off today and garrison it to Jingnan!"
