41. [040] The goal is the sea of stars
When Gan Ning fled with Mrs. Qingxuan, Shen Xian was taking Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to Hanzhong in a hurry.
This time they didn't take a boat back, first, because the speed of going up the river was much slower, and second, Zhang Xiu and Guo Jia strongly resisted, Guo Jia said that he would rather walk back than take a boat, considering the tragic situation of the two of them when they came, Shen Xian finally decided, then ride a horse.
So the group rushed day and night for many days, and finally returned to Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong.
After entering Nanzheng, Shen Xian felt that she had been deceived, because she didn't feel the slightest sense of oppression that the war was coming, what was Nanzheng like when she left, what was Nanzheng like when she came back, what kind of air was about to freeze, and everyone had a nervous look on their faces, none of these were there, and the general guarding the door saw Shen Xian, who had been driven all the way to the dust, and even said hello in a good mood: "Yo, my lord, you are back!" Hurry up! β
Yo, you're big! Shen Xian almost wanted to find out that the piano was on the head of this general, and at this time she almost reacted, it was true that Liu Zhang had united some people to kill her and Zhang Lu, but things were not so strict, as for why Guo Jia put on such a strict look......
Shen Xian silently glanced back at Guo Jia, who didn't know what to say to Zhang Xiu, and warned silently: I'll clean you up when I'm free.
Guo Jia blinked, smiled but did not speak.
Shen Xian instructed Zhang Xiu to arrange for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses to rest, Zhang Xiu looked at Shen Xian, who was exuding low air pressure, gave Guo Jia a look of self-begging, and immediately ran away with people.
Zhou Yu sensed something, and he grabbed Sun Ce's arm before Shen Xian could speak: "It's been a long journey, everyone is tired, let's talk about something tomorrow." β
Shen Xian felt that Zhou Yu was really a delicate and wonderful person, she cast a grateful glance at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu shook her head gently.
But Sun Ce didn't seem to be aware of the surging dark tide around him at all: "It's important to get down to business, rest and wait later." β
Zhou Yuxin said that the third brother ...... My sister made it clear that she was scared back, and people were in a hurry to settle accounts, so I can't care about anything else, can you, a stunned person, learn to look at other people's faces one day.
Shen Xian was a little embarrassed, she wanted to say something, but Zhou Yu simply picked up Sun Ce and half-dragged him in the direction where Zhang Xiu left.
"I'll get to you later!" Shen Xian shouted at the backs of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.
Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Third brother, don't be polite to your own family, you are busy first if you have something!" β
So in a blink of an eye, everyone was gone, leaving Shen Xian and Guo Jia standing at the gate.
After realizing that something was wrong, he estimated the shape and decided to disguise himself as a background board. But before it was completely contextualized, he had to convey Zhang Lu's words to Shen Xian: "Lord Liu, Lord Zhang said that if you come back, if you have any questions, go to the study to find him." β
Shen Xian nodded: "I know." β
After finishing speaking, Shen Xian stepped into the Taishou Mansion, Guo Jia was half a step behind her, and followed unhurriedly. The two of them didn't say anything all the way until they crossed the garden path when Shen Xian suddenly stopped.
"You-" Shen Xian said abruptly, the expression on her face was very complicated, mixed with irritability, guilt, awkwardness, etc., mixed together to appear slightly distorted. Looking at the posture of her mouth, it seemed that there was a long string of words to say, but in the end, it was only three short words: "Deliberately? β
"Hmm." Guo Jia generously admitted it, he looked at the flowers blooming all over the garden, and said casually: "It is the accusation of subordinates to worry about the main centimeter...... You want the two of them, but you're embarrassed to take advantage of the danger, but you can't let people go, so it's better for me to come forward and leave them to help, how to arrange it in the future and wait until Yizhou is cleaned up. β
Guo Jia's gaze moved from the garden to Shen Xian's face, and his eyes flickered slightly: "Holding a county in your hand, you will naturally have a lot of chips when you negotiate conditions, lord, what do you say?" β
Shen Xian smiled for a long time: "I've finished talking to you, what else do I have to say." β
"Lord, you have worshiped two good brothers." Guo Jia answered the question.
"That's it."
The people in the study were all - Cai Yan and Xun Yu were approving official documents, Zhang Lu and Xun You were discussing the march route in front of the map, and Jia Xu was leaning against the window with a cup of hot tea and closing his eyes to recuperate. Shen Xian took Guo Jia to pass by the window, glanced inside, and suddenly had a bad heart, she took out a fan and knocked it on Jia Xu's head, and then stuffed the fan into Guo Jia's hand, and before Jia Xu opened his eyes, she went around to the front and pushed open the door of the study.
Jia Xu opened his eyes and just saw Guo Jia holding a fan staring at him.
Jia Xu: "......"
Guo Jia: "...... Listen to my explanation. β
Jia Xu: "Don't listen." β
Shen Xiancai didn't care how these two people tossed, she stopped Cai Yan and Xun Yu from wanting to stand up, and said straight to the point: "What's the situation?" β
"It's just a good time for you to come back." Cai Yan smiled: "Xingba's letter has just been delivered, why don't you read it yourself?" β
"Okay." Shen Xian nodded, she took the letterhead from Xun Yu's hand, and browsed through the ten lines at a glance, and after reading it, Shen Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gan Ning said three things in the letter, one is that Liu Zhang suppressed the news of Liu Yan's death, and Guanghan County and Shu County have fallen under his control; The second is that Gan Ning, Mrs. Qingxuan and Zhang Lu's younger brother arrived in Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou Taishou is his own people, and they are very safe; Third, out of strategic considerations, Gan Ning will not return to Hanzhong for the time being, when will he send troops to give an accurate word, and everyone will kill Liu Zhang before and after.
In addition, Gan Ning did not say much about how he escaped to Jiangzhou, but years of tacit understanding allowed Shen Xian to summarize a lot of effective information from these seemingly short words.
For example, Gan Ning said that Jiangzhou Taishou is his own person. Shen Xian didn't think that she had any special friendship with Jiangzhou Taishou, so even if she was her own person...... That's also Zhang Lu's own person.
For example, Guanghan and Shu Erjun have surrendered to Liu Zhang. Guanghan County is Shen Xian's territory, so quickly rebelled by Liu Zhang, although there may be a reason why Taishou is not in the city, but Shen Xian still can't accept this news when she first hears the news, because even if she herself is not there, there will be defenders left in the city, and Judd, who is a soldier, has already gone back first, and even if Liu Zhang sends someone to attack, he can last five or six days, but according to the previous news, Guanghan County has evolved peacefully without even resisting, which is not scientific at all.
Now that I think about it, there should be another hidden reason for this matter, Gan Ning did not mention Jia De at all, Shen Xian's subordinates were either transferred by Liu Yan along with the defenders of Ruxian County - Liu Yan even dared to transfer the defenders of Meridian Valley and Yangping Pass, and it was not impossible to evacuate her troops from Ruxian County; Either he fished in troubled waters and defected to Liu Zhang.
Neither of these ended well, with the latter being a bit more unpleasant. But before the truth is completely revealed, Shen Xian will not make a conclusion to Judd.
After reading Gan Ning's letter and understanding what she wanted to know, Shen Xian clapped her hands and said, "Say it." How to fight and when to send troops? β
Xun You was the first to speak as usual: "Our opinion is that the troops are divided into two routes, a quick battle, all the way to Jiangzhou to meet Xingba on the Micang Road, a sneak attack on Chengdu from the rear, and then march to Mianzhu after taking Chengdu; The other side directly attacked head-on and sent troops to Jiameng Pass. The soldiers and horses of Guanghan and Shu Er County together are no more than 30,000 at most, and Liu Jiyu's foundation is unstable, once the army attacks and people's hearts fluctuate, he will easily fail. β
"As for the candidates for the leaders of the two sides, you can choose by yourself." Cai Yan added with a smile: "Didn't you just bring back two people?" β
Xun You's heart moved, and he hurriedly gave Cai Yan a look, but unfortunately it was too late.
Shen Xian pondered for a moment, her eyes fell on the map, and she suddenly asked, "Which of you came up with the idea?" β
There was silence in the room, no one spoke, and it took a long time for Xun You to sigh and admit: "I." β
"Oh." Shen Xian looked at Xun You meaningfully, and she said, "Good job." β
"Why are you dragging me, Gongjin." Sun Ce muttered dissatisfiedly, "I'm here to help Shang Yu." β
Zhou Yu closed the door and made sure that no one could hear him before he said slowly: "Without us, she can also settle this turmoil." β
"So what?" Sun Ce looked indifferent: "He doesn't have to go to Xiangyang to find me, and I can get out of the same way." I am here to help him, and whether he needs my help or not, are two completely different concepts. β
Zhou Yu thought to himself, just blow it! If it weren't for the third brother stopping you for half a day, you would have attacked the city again, Huang Zu and Fan Chou didn't run away, you retreated all over your body, and you didn't take advantage of the heavy rain to even serve the pot to the guard of General Wentai's heroic spirit.
"How can I say it......" Zhou Yu organized the language for a while, and he said tactfully: "The third brother really wants you and me to come to Yizhou, but now that we are here, it is not her intention. β
Sun Ce was confused when he heard this: "Gong Jin, please, if you have something to say, I don't understand you people who are going around and around." β
"Okay!" Zhou Yu simply lost his temper: "I mean, the third brother was worried that you would have nowhere to go after General Wentai's death, so he wanted you to come to her, but now that Yizhou is in chaos, she is afraid that you will misunderstand that she wants you to stay in order to use your strength to quell the chaos and make you feel that you are being used." Do you get it now? β
Sun Ce squinted his eyes and thought for a long time before he finally realized: "Understood!" But Gongjin, why do you always like to think so much! What is being used, we are brothers, shouldn't we help each other? I'm still afraid that Shang Yu will dislike me for being weak......"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly: "I naturally know, but she hasn't been with you for a long time, and she doesn't know a lot of things, so you have to find an opportunity to explain to her." β
"Oh." Sun Ce nodded: "Actually, I originally planned to send my father's coffin back to Shu County for burial, and then I came to Shang Yu after explaining to my mother." We agreed to meet in Chang'an City, but neither of us went in later, which is probably because God gave me a chance to fulfill my promise again. β
When Zhou Yu heard this, he looked at Sun Ce with a somewhat complicated expression: "Bo Fu, what do you think?" β
Do you just want to break through Jingzhou and kill Huang Zu to avenge General Wentai, or do you want to ......
Sun Ce had a confused look in his eyes, he walked to the window and pushed it open, staring blankly at the flowers in full bloom for a long time before he said slowly: "...... I do not know. β
"I want to kill Huang Zu and avenge my father......" Sun Ce's fingers stroked the damp window lattice, where a snail with a shell on its back was slowly climbing up, and his fingertips followed the snail to make a shallow trace: "I also want to enter the division and drive away those rebellious ministers and thieves...... I also want to see the people live and work in peace and contentment, and recover from the war......"
Sun Ce picked off the climbing snail and put it in his palm, he turned around and looked at Zhou Yu with burning eyes: "Gong Jin, this world is not right, it shouldn't be like this." I used to think that if I killed Dong Lao Thief, I would be able to be peaceful, but now that Dong Thief is dead, there is no threat from him, everyone is still fighting and killing, the world is still full of smoke, and the people are still displaced, unable to eat and clothe...... Why, exactly? β
Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, he had no way to explain Sun Ce's question, because he also had deep doubts in his own heart.
"It's only been a few years since the war, but I've forgotten what it looks like not to fight." Sun Ce watched as the snail cautiously poked out its tentacles and began to climb slowly in his hands, a smile appeared on his face: "I don't know what to do, should I just destroy those who provoked the war?" β
"You can try." Zhou Yu said.
Sun Ce nodded: "Well, I'll try, are you willing to come with me?" β
"Okay." Zhou Yu finally smiled: "Before looking for you, just in case, I sold some family property to make some money, but now that I have Shang Yu, I shouldn't need it." β
"Well, I think it's still needed." Sun Ce said seriously: "Hanzhong Taishou is Zhang Gongqi, not Shang Yu, he has to bring Guanghan and Shu County back to have money and land, and I have to ask you before that." β
Zhou Yu really felt that Sun Ce was sometimes okay, but sometimes he was extremely smart, and he laughed: "Okay, then I'll hand over the money to you for safekeeping." β
"Don't!" Sun Ce hurriedly refused: "I don't keep accounts!" It's better for you to take care of it. β
Sun Ce let the snail out: "After all this, I haven't asked Shang Yu if he wants to be together...... Forget it, I'm the eldest brother, he has to listen to me, so it's decided! β
Shen Xian had no idea that she had been represented by Sun Ce to join a mysterious three-person organization, and she and Cai Yan treated Guo Jia.
Jingzhou was drenched in a rain, Guo Jia didn't have a good chance and rode a horse to rush all the way, and now there is a tendency for the old disease to recur, and when he was arguing with Jia Xu, he began to cough after saying a word, and he coughed so much that his lungs were about to vomit. Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia expressionlessly, while Shen Xian was taken aback, and hurriedly brought Guo Jia to Cai Yan to prescribe medicine.
Cai Yan originally thought that Guo Jia was pretending, but she came to the same conclusion as Shen Xian as soon as she took the pulse - it was a miracle that she didn't die.
"I originally thought that Xi Zhicai was the only one in the world who knew that he was not in good health and did not take medicine well, but I didn't expect it." Cai Yan put down her pen like flying, and she said while writing the prescription: "Lord, you really shouldn't have secretly laughed at Cao Gong behind your back at that time, how about it, now retribution is coming, right?" β
Guo Retribution Jia coughed innocently with his sleeve half-covering his face.
Shen Xian pouted in embarrassment: "How can I laugh at others behind my back!" And Guo Fengxiao, you are not allowed to drink, I smell the smell of wine on you. How long has it been? Where did it come from? β
This kind of behavior of taking a sip in your busy time is simply simple! I don't really understand what you earthlings think.
Guo Jia responded silently, and Xun Yu, who had not made any big moves, suddenly glanced at the prescription prescribed by Cai Yan, and then he politely took a brush and added a taste of medicinal materials to the prescription in front of everyone.
Coptis chinensis.
Guo Jia's face darkened.
Shen Xian endured and endured, but in the end she couldn't hold back, hammered the table and began to laugh at Guo Jia unceremoniously.
"Miss Zhaoji, is the addition of this flavor of Coptis contrary to medicinal properties?" Xun Yu asked Cai Yan.
Cai Yan shook his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No, Fengxiao was infected with the wind and cold, and he should have eaten some coptis to quench the fire." β
"That's good." Xun Yu smiled: "Fengxiao, during your illness, in order to avoid passing your illness to Yi'er, let him live in my house temporarily." β
Without waiting for Guo Jia to say anything, Xun Yu said again: "Or in fact, you forgot about it at all, you still have a son?" β
"Uh......"
Looking at Guo Jia's weak expression, it seems that it is indeed like that.
Shen Xian really felt sorry for Guo Yilai, it was after several lifetimes of bad luck that she ran to reincarnate in Guo Jia's house. Mother no, my father is not at home every day, and he is not at home, who knows that such an unreliable father will have to teach his children to be unreliable in the future...... One Guo Jia is enough to bother, and one more, Shen Xian feels that she has never sent it in this day.
Shen Xian stuffed the prescription into Guo Jia's arms and drove him out: "Okay, okay, Fengxiao has nothing to do with you here, the patient should rest obediently, I will give you a holiday, take your prescription to prescribe medicine, and then hurry home to see my son." β
"My lord." Guo Jiayi said: "At such a critical moment, how can I escape alone? β
"Oh, then you can drink the medicine first." Shen Xian nodded, pushed open the door and shouted out, "Here's someoneβ"
"Lord-" Guo Jia pressed Shen Xian's hand: "I suddenly felt unwell again, so I still retired first." β
After speaking, Guo Jia ran away with the prescription, and he couldn't see the words "this person is sick" at all.
"Akihime, did you say that drinking a medicine can kill people?" Shen Xian looked at Cai Yan in confusion.
Cai Yan smiled slightly: "This ...... You'll only know if you experience it for yourself, right? β
Xun Yu accompanied Shen Xian to check all kinds of important official documents approved by everyone during her departure to see if there were any omissions or rework. Shen Xian flipped through a roll of bamboo slips casually, and suddenly said, "Fengxiao said that he wants wine and beautiesβthen what do you want?" β
In the face of this kind of inquiry without warning, Xun Yu was very indifferent, he took the bamboo slips that Shen Xian was optimistic about and put them back on the shelf, and took a roll again and spread it out to her: "I heard that the lord once said that I would like to raise troops to fight Dong Thief to clear the world and help the Han family." β
Shen Xian thought for a moment, and then she remembered that she had indeed said these words to Xun Youβwhen Cai Yong asked her what she was going to do next outside Luoyang City.
Thinking of this, Shen Xian couldn't help but show a smile: "Yes - at that time, Gongda also asked me, since I came to support the Han family, why did I stop in Luoyang City and let Dong Thief go." β
Xun Yu spoke slowly, his tone was gentle and peaceful, and no matter what he said, he gave people a very serious feeling: "When Gongda is rarely impulsive, he will ask such a question, and he is probably angry at what Dong Zhongying did. But the adults had already done what they could. β
"Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the princes of the Eighteen Roads, hundreds of thousands of troops, are holding back, not because of the strong ...... of Dong Thief" Speaking of this, Xun Yu sighed softly: "What I want...... It's just the four words "peace in the world". β
Although Xun Yu's words were not long, they were mixed with unfinished meaning, Shen Xian understood what he meant, she rolled up the bamboo slips, and looked back at Xun Yu quietly.
The sunlight was broken into grids and scattered all over the ground through the window lattice, and most of Xun Yu's face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, but Shen Xian just felt that the expression on Xun Yu's face at this time must be full of seriousness and yearning.
The life ideals of ghosts and Wang Zuozhicai are different, although the mellow beauty sounds-and-, but at least when Shen Xian has money in Yizhou, you can find a lot of them by searching casually - there are beauties in the land of Sichuan and Shu! But the world is peaceful......
Xun Yu's peace is not simply without disasters, he wants the people to live and work in peace and contentment, to the rivers and rivers to be clear, to the king's hard work, and to the officials to be honest and honest...... These would not have been possible without 180 years of unremitting efforts, and it is unknown whether they will be alive by then. Moreover, no matter how prosperous a dynasty is, there will be corners of corruption and decay, and there will always be some dangerous elements who harm others and themselves and secretly shrink in the shadows to wreak havoc.
After being quiet for a long time, Shen Xian said slowly: "Wen Ruo, what you say is only four words, but it is much more difficult than Fengxiao's request." I...... There's no way to promise you right now, because I don't know if I can do it. But I will always work towards this goal, no matter when, wherever, or where I am......"
"But a person's strength is always weak, so- will you come to my aid?"
Shen Xian stretched out her hand to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu stood for a while, he suddenly took half a step back, pushed forward with his palms in both hands, and slowly bowed down to Shen Xian.
"Please give me a lot of advice."
Shen Xian, who was turned into a person again, felt that she was in a good mood, and after sending Xun Yu home, Shen Xian turned around and went to find Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
For these two brothers who were cheated by herself, Shen Xian felt that she still owed them an explanation.
When Shen Xian arrived, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were making moves in the courtyard, one of them with a gun and the other with a stick, they were evenly matched, and the fight was inseparable. It didn't take long for Zhou Yu to point towards Sun Ce's chest with a false move, but the situation of winning was broken by Sun Ce's strength to reduce the ten, and in the end, the victory was still scored.
Shen Xian leaned under the tree and applauded, Sun Ce put away his gun and greeted her: "Shang Yu, is the matter done?" β
"Hmm." Shen Xian nodded: "It has been decided, the troops will be divided into two routes, all the way from the front of Jiameng Pass, all the way to Jiangzhou to meet Xingba on Micang Road, and then attack Chengdu around the back, and then attack Mianzhu." β
Sun Ce asked, "Which way are you?" β
"I ...... Haven't figured it out yet. Shen Xian scratched her head: "But Weiyou refused to take the waterway, saying that he was seasick, so he should have led someone to fight Jia Mengguan, and I attacked from behind, right?" β
"Then we'll be with you." Sun Ce patted Shen Xian on the shoulder: "It just so happens that we are very good at water warfare. β
"I-" Shen Xian opened her mouth to explain, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Sun Ce: "Shang Yu, I already know what you mean, before you came, I discussed it with Gong Jin," Speaking of this, Sun Ce paused, turned back to look at Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu gave him an encouraging smile, so Sun Ce nodded, and continued to say to Shen Xian: "Gong Jin asked me what I want to do in the future." β
Shen Xian unconsciously stood up straight: "Then what do you want to do?" β
"I don't know." Sun Ce said simply: "But there is such a thing as a goal, can't you just go around?" So we plan to take the pacification of the world as a temporary goal first, and what we want to do is to think about it while calming down. β
Shen Xian: "......"
Brother, your temporary goal is so domineering, so if you have a true goal, then you can't go to heaven?
"We've got you covered." Sun Ce continued.
Shen Xian's face was expressionless: "How come I don't know." β
"You know now." Sun Ce spread out his hands: "Who made you not ...... at that time Anyway, I'm the big brother, you have to listen to me. β
Shen Xian: "It's good if you're happy." β
"Since you want to calm the world, you must take it step by step......," Sun Ce said with great interest: "Let's start by helping you recover Yizhou first!" So Gongjin and I will be with you, don't worry, we can definitely do it together! β
Shen Xian crossed Sun Ce's shoulder and looked at Zhou Yu who was standing not far behind him, sensing Shen Xian's gaze, Zhou Yu smiled slightly.
Shen Xian suddenly felt that her nose was a little sour, but in the next second, the inexplicable emotion that gushed out of her chest was gone, because Sun Ce said: "But you have to pay for the money, you have land and people, and you are the biggest official among the three of us." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh. β
"Since I have land, people and money, and I have the biggest official," Shen Xian said half-jokingly: "Then you have to listen to me." β
"No problem." Sun Ce nodded simply: "As long as you remember to accompany me to beat Liu Jingsheng after recovering Yizhou." β
"Of course." Shen Xian raised her eyebrows: "I've been looking at him for a long time." β
Shen Xian and Sun Ce looked at each other tacitly, and Zhou Yu suddenly had a bad premonition.
