But Cao Cao wouldn't allow it.
What kind of information is this?
Let's not mention Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu's most beloved son, who is now living a wretched life in Jiangdong.
Not everyone is like Sun Ce, who can give those who surrender a way out.
There are many people in this world like Cao Cao, who would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.
Sun Ce thought it over and over.
Despite how good life is now, with his beloved wife by his side, and how he longs to be with her every day, he still has to go to war.
They went to attack Jingzhou again.
If Cao Cao were far away and Xuchang were more vulnerable, he would also consider kidnapping Cao Cao.
But timing is crucial.
His fire must be directed towards Jingzhou.
This way, Cao Cao would continue to maintain a superficial harmony with him, and he would have the opportunity to continue to quietly expand the power of Jiangdong.
period.
Sun Ce launched a large-scale campaign, conquering Jingzhou three times.
Having swallowed most of Jingzhou, Liu Biao was left with nothing but a shell, barely clinging to life.
At that time, Madam Wu was getting old.
With Qiao Jingjing now sharing the household affairs, Madam Wu has much more free time after years of hard work.
In those years, because her sons were often away fighting in wars, she endured illness without fear of worrying them. Now that life has become more stable, her ailments have gradually started to appear.
Madam Wu sometimes suffers from headaches for three to five days.
I feel tightness in my chest and have no appetite.
Sometimes he's in good spirits and enjoys family time with his daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and granddaughters.
On the Ghost Festival of that year, the fields had just been harvested with a bountiful harvest of grain, and Qiao Jingjing, Sun Ce, and others presided over the Ghost Festival sacrificial ceremony.
Madam Wu was also happy and busied herself with the task for several days. However, she was so exhausted that she lay in bed for several days to rest, and even the doctor couldn't help her.
Qiao Jingjing discussed with her husband Sun Ce that they should still invite Hua Tuo to come.
But Hua Tuo was in Xuchang at that time.
It would take at least ten days to half a month for a round trip, and I'm afraid that Madam Wu might not be able to handle it.
This is a difficult time.
Qiao Jingjing's elderly mother, Qiao Amu, knew that her in-laws' mother was ill, so she came to visit her personally.
He recommended a Taoist priest to Madam Wu.
“My dear in-laws, this Taoist priest has his own unique recipe for Immortal Floating Water, which can cure people’s illnesses and is effective no matter what kind of illness it is.”
What Aunt Qiao said sounded very mysterious.
Qiao Jingjing asked her when her mother met this Taoist priest?
Instead, Mrs. Joe blamed her eldest daughter:
“You’re always so busy, and Xiao Qiao isn’t even here with me! When I’m sick or feeling unwell, nobody cares. Luckily, my friends are so helpful; they recommended this amazing Taoist priest to me. The talismanic water in his temple is incredibly magical.”
As Madam Wu aged, she immediately believed it.
She quickly asked her eldest daughter-in-law, Qiao Jingjing, to invite that deity to come for her.
"You should fast and bathe, speak kindly, and personally invite that immortal to come."
Qiao Jingjing had already figured out that this Taoist priest was just a con artist, trying to swindle money from people and promoting feudal superstition.
Sun Ce also said, "All those immortals and Taoist priests are frauds. The stories of my mother, my mother-in-law, and Ximen Bao governing Ye have been circulating throughout the country for hundreds of years. We must believe in science. Those who fabricate stories, witches, and Taoist priests are all swindlers."
A few days later, Hua Tuo was still on the road.
Madam Wu was in great pain and her heart was pounding.
Lady Wu held the hands of Da Qiao and Sun Ce.
“My son, I’m afraid I won’t make it this time! Please invite that deity here, and I’ll ask him if my time is up.”
oh.
Qiao Jingjing then realized that her mother-in-law's illness had progressed to such an extent that she needed a lie to deceive her, to tell her that she could get better, and to give her confidence.
A Taoist priest who is deceitful would be very suitable to play this role.
so.
Qiao Jingjing specially prepared lavish gifts to invite this legendary Taoist priest.
Sun Ce is currently handling the matter of inviting Hua Tuo.
In fact, about ten local doctors from Wu County were also invited to surround Madam Wu.
However, just to put his elderly mother at ease and relieve her of any psychological burden, Sun Quan accompanied his sister-in-law to a Taoist temple.
At the mountain gate.
A gloomy wind and rain, flags fluttering one by one.
Sun Quan asked a Taoist master, "Old... what are the immortals doing inside?"
The young Taoist said, "The immortals are praying for three feet of sweet rain to nourish all people."
Qiao Jingjing then looked up at the sky.
During the Ghost Festival, the crops have just been harvested. Even if the weather is a bit hot, it's not a bad thing, as it's a good time to dry the grains for easier storage.
It's quite normal for the weather to suddenly turn cool and for autumn rain to fall.
Can a mystical Taoist priest summon unexpected wind and rain by chanting a few incantations?
After a long period of pretentious posturing, the old Taoist priest, who looked like a deity, finally appeared before Sun Quan and Qiao Jingjing, carrying his white beard and white robe.
The old Taoist priest originally wanted to put on a show to demonstrate that he was a deity.
Upon meeting the stunning beauty Da Qiao herself from Jiangdong...
Those filthy eyeballs looked like they were about to fall out.
Um.
"May I ask what brings you here, esteemed guest?"
Sun Quan said, "My mother at home is ill. Please ask the old immortal to use his medical skills."
This old immortal, whom the future Emperor of Eastern Wu called an old immortal, was neither modest nor embarrassed. He waved his whisk halfway, nodded at Sun Quan, and then looked at Qiao Jingjing.
"These two distinguished guests are a perfect match, their aura is soaring, and their future is limitless."
Sun Quan corrected the Taoist priest: "This is Lady Qiao, the wife of the Marquis of Wu, and my sister-in-law. You must not be rude."
The old Taoist priest glanced at Qiao Jingjing a few more times, his eyes filled with admiration.
