Overlord!

Chapter 42

Danglikou, where Zhang Ying garrisoned troops, is an important riverside area on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Being wiped out by Sun Ce here means that Liu Yao's Yangtze River defense line has completely collapsed, and then Sun Ce's army has entered the stage of siege.

At this time, as long as Sun Ce does not encounter major military setbacks and has a steady stream of troops to supplement, he will certainly be able to push his sphere of influence eastward.

And this general trend can be clearly seen by all forces in Danyang County.

So after Sun Ce defeated Zhang Ying, he took his personal guards all the way south and arrived at Wanling County, the prefecture of Danyang County.

Wu Jing's army has put down the rebellion in the south of Danyang County, and is returning north, where it is stationed in Wanling County.

Sun Ce came to supervise the army in person to meet with Danyang prefect Zhou Shang.

Under the current situation, how could it be possible that Sun Ce did not receive the full support of the Zhou family?

Whether it is public or private, Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang County, should subsidize him with a large amount of money and food to help him expel Liu Yao's forces and expand Yuan Shu's territory.

The Sun family and the Zhou family have a close family relationship, and Sun Ce was even promoted to pay homage to his mother.In this era, it is already considered a foster relative.

This meeting is both a business meeting and a private visit.Zhou Yu led the troops to set up a green house outside Wanling City, and Zhou set up a curtain, and the two sides attended the meeting as non-voting delegates.

Zhou Shang, the prefect of Danyang, wore a soap suit with a silver seal and a green ribbon. He was a typical scholar-bureaucrat with a refined bearing.

And Sun Ce is full of affection for Zhou Shang, because he is a generous person, and he will hand over the entire Danyang County to Yuan Yin before the end of this year, and then it will smoothly fall into Sun Ce's hands.

So after seeing the ceremony, Sun Ce boldly made a promise: "Shibo, I have been taken care of by the nobles for a long time in Shu County. It would be difficult to succeed in crossing the river without the help of Shibo. I have nothing to repay, and I am willing to lead the army to help the world." The Bo wiped out all the powerful and powerful families in Danyang who did not respect the county, and helped the Bo to completely control the entire Danyang."

Sitting opposite Sun Ce, Zhou Shang was shocked for a moment. He really didn't expect Sun Ce to speak so heroically and generously, and he came here only to repay his kindness.

And Sun Ce even made a promise: "Shibo can rest assured that as long as there are enough troops after I take down Danyang, I will immediately attack Danyang eastward, and Liu Gongjin will return to Danyang. All will be handed over to Danyang County."

Zhou Yu on the side was shocked by Sun Ce's assurance, and said, "What's the matter with Bofu? I've never heard of you having such a plan before, and these are your foundation."

Sun Ce waved his hand and said generously: "The nobles once helped each other, and now it's time for me, Mrs. Sun, to repay. As long as Shi Bo is still governing Danyang, I will fully support Shi Bo to control the whole county. I only want to be the pioneer of Shi Bo. Help Uncle Shi wipe out the powerful enemies in the county as soon as possible, and expel Liu Yao's generals."

Of course, if Zhou Shang handed over Danyang County to others and led Zhou's relatives to leave Danyang, then this guarantee would not count.If others govern Danyang, I will take it back this year.

Zhou Shang saw that Sun Ce was loyal and strong, and his words were generous, and he felt his ambition, and he couldn't help being greatly moved.Funding Sun Ce was just a matter of convenience for the Zhou family.But now the other party is repaying life and death, and giving territory.Willing to lead the army to fight, to wipe out all disobedient forces in Danyang for himself, and to resist Liu Yao's persecution.

So Zhou Shangnai said: "Bofu is so kind and righteous, he is really a hero in the world. You want to sweep away Danyang and drive out powerful enemies for me. I will subsidize you with [-] soldiers and [-] stones and grains. This is to open up Jiangdong for General Yuan. The big plan is also my support for you to build an army and build a business as a world uncle."

Sun Ce got up immediately, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Shibo for helping me conquer Jiangdong. If I succeed in success in the future, I will be rewarded for my merits and virtues. I will always be good."

Zhou Shang raised his head and looked at the young man who was stunned and talented in the sun. He felt his chest throbbing. He finally understood why General Yuan sighed: "If you have a son like Sun Lang, you will never regret death!"

It is a pity that such a heroic hero is not a descendant of his own relatives.

Zhou Shang said with deep emotion: "It's a pity that Bo Fu already has a wife, otherwise I will betroth my daughter to you, so that Qin and Jin can marry each other."

Sun Ce's smile froze on his face, it's broken, he couldn't use too much force, right?This wave of goodwill is too much!I never thought of turning a tool man into a father-in-law.Didn't Zhou Yu become a relative from childhood?

On the other hand, Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, he was very moved, and sincerely persuaded Zhou Shang: "Uncle, Bofu values ​​love and righteousness, and with the love of my two clans, my younger sister will never be treated badly if she marries Bofu. The younger sister is in a special situation, it is difficult to find a good match at the age of 19, does my uncle want my younger sister to not marry after her twenties? Or marry some young people who are greedy for our family's fame and wealth?"

Zhou Shang frowned tightly, stroking his beard and thinking deeply.

The Zhou family is not an ordinary family or a local hero, but a real family of officials!The two generations of the family successively served as the Taiwei among the three princes, and their prestige was only slightly weaker than that of the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three princes.

Even before the great general Dou Xianle, Shi Yanran, and the southern Xiongnu completely surrendered, the ancestors of the Zhou family had already served as the governor of the state, the prefect of the county, and finally served as the emperor of the two dynasties and took charge of the entire Shangshutai.

Afterwards, talented people came out in large numbers in the clan, and some people have been ministers of the imperial court and local envoys for 200 years.

In such a family of ministers, the daughter naturally has no worries about marrying, let alone marrying as a concubine.

Just like what Zhou Yu said, those who are willing to marry Zhou's daughter just because of Zhou's reputation and power are like crucian carp crossing the river, regardless of their beauty or ugliness.

But Zhou Shang really didn't want to marry his beloved daughter to such a man with ulterior motives.

But if he wants to marry the son of another minister, the situation of his beloved daughter is really too special, and it is difficult for ordinary men to accept it.

And Sun Ce looked at Zhou Shang's brows furrowed and deep in thought, and he sighed inwardly. You Zhou Yu also has an ugly sister like Huang Achou, right?

I am not Zhuge Liang!Kong Ming can ignore the folk song in the country: "Don't be Kong Ming choosing a wife, you are getting the ugly girl of A Cheng".I can't do it myself!Jiangdong Meisunlang, if he marries an ugly girl, won't he be laughed to death?

And I am very specific, I only like all kinds of beauties with thin waists and long legs!

So Sun Ce cupped his hands generously, and said: "A man who has not made a name for himself, what is he doing with his family! Life and death are uncertain, so how dare you deceive the ladies of your house."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu sighed regretfully, regretting unceasingly: "Oh, my sister's height of seven feet and six inches is really a problem. If Bo Fu has no intentions, it is really not appropriate to force it, but the younger sister wants to meet a good match again. Difficult."

Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand, and suddenly lifted it up, holding Zhou Yu's hands tightly. He spoke righteously and resolutely, and said, "Gong Jin's words are so ridiculous! You have such a warm mouth. How can you say such cold words! What does it mean not to force? You and I have always been like a family. Your family is in trouble, how can I just sit back and watch?"

Even if he slapped himself in the face this time, Sun Ce would admit it!
It doesn't matter whether you are a lady or not, the key is that a hero like Sun Ce who knows how to repay his kindness must not stand aside and watch the Zhou family face difficulties with a cold personality!

Miss seven feet six inches!
This is Sun Ce's favorite zone!The height exceeds 175, and there is a floating range of about 2.3 cm per inch, that is, she is between 177 and 179, and the average is also a young lady with a height of 178 cm.Moreover, she is only 19 years old, as long as she feeds her well, she may have a second spring and break through 180 centimeters.

This is simply stunning!
Li Qingzhao got married at the age of 19, and her married life in her 20s was the most beautiful time in her life, and her poems were full of youthful hormones.

Sun Ce didn't care at all that Zhou's daughter was 19 years old, let alone her height over 175.

It's not that she's too weird, it can only prove from the side that she comes from a wealthy family and is well educated!

Height is indeed affected by a little bit of genes, but the most important determinant is life and diet.The diet is good, and the people in the small days jumped from 1.5 meters to 1.7 meters in a few generations.

The Celestial Dynasty only used three generations, and the height of men generally increased from 1.6 meters to 1.8 meters or even 1.9 meters.

It is different from the later generations of the Celestial Dynasty, who are generally farmers, and the second generation has just initially solved the problem of food and clothing.Even in this feudal era, the Zhou family's ministers, as wealthy families, had everything they needed. Meat, eggs, poultry, and milk were never enough for them.

That's why noble children like Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are generally over eight feet tall.

On the other hand, there are naturally some noble girls who are taller.Her seven-foot-six-inch figure may stand out from the crowd at the moment, but in high school or even junior high school in later generations, she is just an ordinary height.

Looking at the handsome appearance of Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu, Sun Ce can conclude that this young lady not only has a slender waist and long legs, but also has a beautiful appearance.

Being able to meet such a beautiful woman with a slender waist and long legs at this moment, Sun Ce immediately recognized Zhou Yu as his uncle!This is my Wei Qing and Dou Xian!

Seeing that Sun Ce is so determined, Zhou Shang doesn't know how to deal with himself. He hasn't decided whether to marry his beloved daughter to Sun Ce as his concubine!

But seeing Sun Ce's decisive attitude, he couldn't even refuse, lest he would dampen the enthusiasm of such an outstanding junior and spoil the relationship between the two parties.

Zhou Shang had to take a serious look at Sun Ce.Although his current status is not high, in fact, he was able to inherit Wu Chenghou, but the war caused the envoys of the court to be blocked. Li Jue, Guo Si and others controlled the government and never sent envoys.

The fiefdom of Marquis Wucheng is in Wucheng County in the neighboring Wu County. This is the top county marquis of the Han Dynasty!
County Marquis!This is the highest title officially recognized by the Han court, and it is impossible to seal it any higher.It is the ultimate goal pursued by the heroes all their lives.Even if the world is in chaos, most of the princes and generals are far from this position by a thousand miles.There are very few people who can seal the lowest ranks.Guan Yu has been proud all his life just by being a Marquis of Hanshouting.

If the court is restored to stability, then Sun Ce will be the most noble prince, who can be called a lonely man and a widow, and he can be called a minister to everyone at present.

To be honest, no one has ever reached this height, even if the Zhou family has two generations and three princes, and the highest is the village lord.And Zhou Shang himself was not sure about being a Marquis.

But this young man has never complained about injustice, has always been bold and masculine, and is confident that he will win a higher honor with his own ability.

This is not only admirable, but also admirable, because Zhou Shang has seen the possibility of his success.

This junior is talented and ambitious, and he is more brave than the three armies. He uses soldiers like a god, and the army drives eastward, and no one can stop it.As long as he has enough troops and logistical supplies to keep him fighting, he will be able to conquer the entire Jiangdong one day.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shang had to admit that he was a little moved.Because funding such a young hero is the easiest thing for Zhou to get rewarded.And it doesn't need him Zhou family to invest much wealth, as long as he slightly changes the governance strategy when governing Danyang, he can transform the soldiers, money and grain of Danyang County into his favor.

How could it be possible for a world-renowned hero not to reciprocate?
Wu County and Kuaiji County were under hostile pressure in the hands of Liu Yao, but in the hands of Sun Ce, they were the places where the Zhou family benefited.

Besides, it's not easy to find a good match at the height of my beloved daughter. If I miss Sun Ce, I'm afraid she's over twenty years old if I want to meet the next hero who is a good match.Right now at least marry Sun Ce, for the sake of the friendship between the two clans, he will not treat his beloved daughter badly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Shang solemnly said to Sun Ce: "The little girl is not an ugly girl, on the contrary, she is very talented. It's just that she has never seen a hero before, so she refused to marry an ordinary man lightly. Now that Bo Fu Xiaoxiong is the champion, it is enough to make the little girl fall in love with you. Beautiful woman Matching a hero is a beautiful story, comparable to that of Empress Pei marrying Guangwu."

"At the beginning, the dowry of the king's daughter-in-law was [-] troops. I also imitated this beautiful act and used thousands of guests and songs as the dowry for the little girl. I only hope that Bofu will see all of this and make this beautiful thing go on forever. Treat me well." Little girl, don't let her be bullied."

Empress Pei is the Empress Dowager Guo Shengtong. This is the third emperor of the Han Dynasty who was promoted to the empress dowager in advance before he died.

Her story, even after thousands of years, is familiar to Zhu Xia.Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had a wife Yin Lihua very early on. In order to win over Liu Yang, a powerful and powerful man, when he was in Hebei, he accepted his niece Guo Shengtong, so he combined the two surnames of the Guo family in the North and the Liu family in the Nanxiang. for in-laws.

Zhending's biggest tyrant, Liu Yang, used one hundred thousand troops as a dowry to help Liu Xiu compete in the Central Plains and rule the world.

There is still a big difference between accepting and marrying.

Zhou Shangfu is as far away as Liu Yang, but Sun Ce may not be as good as Emperor Guangwu.If Zhou Shang could help Sun Ce with an army of [-], Sun Ce would be able to rule the south of the Yangtze River within one month, and go north to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains within three months.

Zhou Shang could see all this clearly, so he felt that Sun Cena's own daughter might not be a good story passed down through the ages like Emperor Guangwu Na Guo Shengtong in the future.

And Zhou Yu was most in favor of this matter. He had been friends with Sun Ce since he was a child, and he knew the heroic spirit and talent of this friend of the chief executive very well, and he very much hoped to betroth his sister to him.This is definitely a good match, and my sister will never be bullied.

He smiled joyfully: "Na Bofu is waiting to welcome the beautiful woman. Apart from her height, she is absolutely beautiful, and she is a match for your talents."
