Chapter 512 Climbing the Yellow Crane Tower
People in the past had gone there by Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower was vacant here. ------- "Yellow Crane Tower" by Cui Hao of Tang Dynasty
It is said that Sun Zhongmou broke an arrow and swore an oath to eliminate his father-killing hatred with the Qinglong Army. Huang Hansheng repaid Sun Wentai's ancient sword as a gift to Sun Quan. Chen Long on the side also sighed in his heart, Sun Jian, the hero of the whole life, now knows that he should rest in peace.
Qinglong ships entered Huanghe Military Port in the south of the Yangtze River, and more than 200 warships lined up the entire military port. Zhuge Liang saw that there were cliffs along the water bank, which were winding and winding, shaped like a crouching snake, with the head facing the river and the tail facing the bustling city. He smiled and said: "What a Yellow Crane Military Port. Zhong Mou set up a water fortress here. He really has a good vision."
Sun Quan was slightly proud and said with a smile: "This place is called Snake Mountain. It faces Guishan Mountain across the river. Both are steep and long and narrow. The situation is very dangerous. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is easy to advance and retreat. I am building a new building at the southern foot of Snake Mountain. Xiakou City, the new city was built on the mountain, and a military observation building was built on the top of Snake Mountain and Huanghujitou. It is because it is said that there is a yellow crane dancing here, and the dance is wonderful and graceful. There are white clouds falling from the sky. Watch the yellow crane dance. Everyone can fly up during the day, so it is euphemistically called the Yellow Crane Tower."
Zhuge Liang raised his eyes and saw that there was indeed a dark wooden tall building on the top of the high cliff. It looked magnificent and full of atmosphere. On the other hand, there are wooden planks up and down the water village connecting the mooring ports. Soldiers can enter and exit the warships from the shore very quickly and conveniently. They couldn't help but praise: "Zhongmou can build this Yellow Crane Tower in a wonderful location. It should be used to guard Jingjiang." It is a famous tower that has been passed down through the ages." Zhuge Liang's words were not a compliment. As soon as he said this, it was indeed a saying. The Yellow Crane Tower has since been praised as a masterpiece through the ages. Literati and poets of all ages have successively built garden buildings on the mountain. In addition to temples, palaces and towers, the famous pavilions, platforms, towers, pavilions, pools, springs, places of interest and scenic spots include Yellow Crane Tower, Baiyun Tower, Chuguan Tower, Doumu Tower, Beixie, and Tuas Pavilion, Liuyun Pavilion, Wangjiang Pavilion, Xianzao Pavilion, Yayun Pavilion, Yilan Pavilion, Pen Holding Pavilion, Shijing Pavilion, Wanshou Pavilion, Jingchun Terrace, Yongyue Terrace, Fang Shuo Reading Platform, Moya Abbot, White Pagoda, Fei Yi Cave, small Luofu and ancient monument corridor, etc., and the Chunyang Tower built at the Yellow Crane Tower site to commemorate Lu Chunyang, one of the Eight Immortals who crossed the sea, has become a grand scene of the Yangtze River through the ages, which will not be mentioned later.
The warships of the Ganning Navy entered the military port one after another and were arranged neatly on the trestles along the river. The sailors on the ships landed one after another and began to set up shore camps in the open space and bury pots to make rice. Smoke rose from the kitchen, but Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai left as promised and returned to Hanyang City. Sun Quan, Lu Meng and others stood on the shore and saw Huang Zhong leaving the military port by boat. They couldn't help but nodded slightly. Although the Qinglong Army sent more than 20,000 troops to help Jiangdong, Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai both returned to take charge, which shows that the Qinglong Army attaches great importance to it. The rear defense highlights Zhuge Liang's caution in using troops.
After Sun Quan had seen enough of the river boats for a long time, he slowly turned around and glanced at the group of people who had just landed ashore. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he walked quickly towards the shore as if being led by a thread. Lu Meng and Ling Tong hurriedly followed, but Sun Quan called them back. They stopped and looked strangely at Master Zhongmou running towards a group of soldiers who had landed on the shore.
Mengxue and Ruoxue, who were pretending to be security guards, were nervously stepping onto the wooden board connecting the trestle and the ship's side. Ruoxue's sharp eyes suddenly saw Sun Quan striding towards the warship. He yelled and ran back. Mengxue was caught off guard, and the two sisters almost Fall into the river together. Mengxue stretched out her hand and hit Ruoxue and said, "It's so big, can you be more steady?"
Ruoxue blushed anxiously and said, "No, sister, the one with blue eyes and purple beard is here." Mengxue looked up and sure enough, a tall and handsome young man with yellow hair and green eyes was smiling and looking at the two sisters on the shore.
Mengxue couldn't help feeling embarrassed, knowing that Sun Quan had seen through her daughter's body, she hurriedly looked for her third brother Zhuge Liang in the crowd, but she didn't know where Kong Ming had gone to change his clothes. Mengxue and Ruoxue stood in a dilemma on the wooden board. Mengxue had no choice but to adjust her clothes, shamelessly pulled her sister across the wooden board, and ran away without raising her head.
Sun Quan saw that the two of them were about to play and disappeared again, so he quickly reached out to stop him and said: "Sun Quan from Jiangdong, you two are dressed like this, are you really Zhuge Kongming's bodyguard?" He asked, but his eyes did not leave Ruoxue, obviously he was there just now Jiang Shang had seen Ruoxue and was deeply impressed.
Ruoxue took a close look at Sun Quan for the first time, and saw that he was tall and straight, with a square mouth, eyebrows of eight colors, and eyes as bright as stars. Although he had a white face and yellow hair, he was a talented man. Seeing his blue eyes like torches, she quickly lowered her eyes and did not dare to Look at each other.
Mengxue had no choice but to reply: "I asked this young master that my two sisters are actually family members of the army. They went to visit Qiao's hometown in Jiayu County."
Sun Quan made an expression like that, then frowned and said: "Qiao's hometown in Jiayu County? Are you going to visit his daughters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao?"
Mengxue was about to answer when Ruoxue heard Sun Quan say the names and couldn't help but said with joy: "Master Sun, do you know them?"
Sun Quan saw Ruoxue's flowery smile, his eyes blurred for a while, and he quickly smiled and said: "I'm very familiar with them! But whose family members are the two sisters? Why are they familiar with Er Qiao?"
Ruoxue said happily: "Since Mr. Sun is familiar with Er Qiao, and I heard that they are as beautiful as gods, he would like to introduce them to us." This sentence revealed that he did not know Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and Sun Quan couldn't help but frown again. . At this moment, Gan Ning, who had gone to other places to inspect the warships, came back. When he saw Sun Quan pulling Mengxue and Ruoxue to talk, he was startled and hurriedly ran over and said: "General Sun, why are you here?" ?”
After Gan Ning interrupted, Sun Quan didn't want to ask any more questions and said with a smile: "General Gan, I met these two sisters by chance and mentioned that they came to visit Er Qiao from Jiangdong. I happened to be familiar with Er Qiao, so I wanted to take my place for you two. My sister recommended me. But I don’t know what to call my two sisters?” The last words were spoken while looking at Ruoxue.
Gan Ning saw Ruoxue squirming and her face flushed. He hurriedly stood in front of Ruoxue and said, "General Sun, these are my two sisters. People call them Daxue and Xiaoxue."
Sun Quan couldn't help but become happy when he heard this. He thought it was Gan Daxue and Gan Xiaoxue. This young and beautiful one must be Xiaoxue. He quickly raised his hands and saluted, "It turns out she is General Gan's sister. I'm disrespectful. I've been so rude just now. Please forgive me Daxue." Sister, Sister Xiaoxue, please forgive me."
When Gan Ning heard Sun Quan's call to be affectionate, he almost fell over in anger, only to hear Sun Quan continue: "Thankfully, my two sisters met me today. Da Qiao and Er Qiao, together with the Qiao family, have long been under the orders of my brother. , the family moved to Wan County, Lujiang County. If Sister Daxue and Sister Xiaoxue go to Jiayu County, I am afraid they will be in vain."
Mengxue and Ruoxue nodded. It turned out that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were not in Jiangxia. Disappointed, they heard Sun Quan say: "The sisters moved to Lujiang, originally to marry my brother Bo Fu and Governor Gong Jin. But they There has been a war in Jiangbei recently, and the wedding has been delayed. I will tell my brother later that it is not safe in Jiangbei, so it is better to move Mr. Qiao's family back to avoid trouble, so that the two elder sisters can meet the second elder sister Qiao. "
Ruoxue was overjoyed and clapped her hands and said, "That's great! But I don't know how to thank Mr. Sun." Gan Ning glared at the fact that Sun Quan would actually buy it in front of a beautiful woman, and quickly stood in front of Ruoxue again. Just as he was about to refuse, Ruoxue pinched his waist. Gan Ning immediately felt as soft as tissue paper and was easily pushed aside by Ruoxue.
Ruoxue abused Gan Ning with her hands, but her face was full of smiles. She looked at Sun Quan and said: "Master Sun, although I, my brother Gan Ning, am a good fighter, I usually have a bad temper and a tough temper. Please forgive me, Master Sun." Treat him as a little naughty boy and don't argue with him." After saying that, he glared at Gan Ning. Who let him make the decision without authorization? He gave himself and his sister tacky names like Gan Daxue and Gan Xiaoxue, which was detrimental to Sun Quan. His few words could be regarded as revenge for randomly naming and misidentifying his sister.
Sun Quan laughed dumbly and said: "How dare you? How dare you. Sister Xiaoxue's words are really interesting. Since she is General Gan's sister and not an outsider, I am planning to invite him to visit the Yellow Crane Tower. Can you invite the two sisters to come with me?" It was said to be an invitation. Gan Ning looked at Xiaoxue asking for instructions. Where can Ruoxue not go? Immediately there was a burst of cheers, and he pulled his sister to follow Sun Quan who was diligently leading the way.
Gan Ning couldn't help feeling sad, Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin, did you know that if Ruoxue went on this business trip, we would have another love rival? Seeing Mengxue and Ruoxue walking away with Sun Quan from afar, he had to gather his energy to keep up.
Halfway through, I suddenly saw Zhuge Liang waving a feather fan, and his brother Zhuge Jun walking along the plank road with square steps. It turns out that Zhuge Liang took the opportunity of the navy's entry into the harbor to take Zhuge Jun to visit the water stronghold to increase Zhuge Jun's military experience. Suddenly seeing Sun Quan and Er Xue coming hand in hand, they couldn't help but be shocked, neither of them knew why. Both sides were staring at each other, only to hear Sun Quan's voice shouting: "Kong Ming, quickly follow me and Sister Daxue and Sister Xiaoxue to the stairs!"
Kong Ming and Zhuge Jun glanced at each other. They didn't expect Sun Quan to be so attentive and Sister Daxue and Sister Xiaoxue to call him so affectionately. When they saw Gan Ning coming from behind with a sad face, they couldn't help but laugh. They shook their heads and followed behind the two sisters. Climb the Yellow Crane Tower ten steps up.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
