After Xun Chen and Fu Zhu's letters were written, Shen Xian felt that there was no big problem at a glance, so she sent someone to Guo Jia and Jia Xu to send them to play and find faults. After receiving the letter, Jia Xu was not interested, Guo Jia was too lazy to move, Sima Yi looked left and right and hesitated, he really couldn't figure out the thoughts of these two big guys, and he didn't know whether he should go out of the crowd and take over this job. He thought seriously for a while, and decided that it was better to stay honest, and now at this time, he didn't seek merit but no fault.

Shen Xian didn't know that the three strategists were collectively passive and slacking off, she held Liu Xi sent by Diao Chan, and coaxed the little ancestor to play obediently by herself, while concentrating on the map and studying the situation outside Chang'an City.

If it was just in case, in case Xun Chen and Fu Zhu really carried private goods in the letter, and Guo Jia and they didn't check it out, Shen Xian would have to prepare for a long-term war of resistance.

Shen Xian had no doubt that Zhang He would be persuaded that Xun Chen would come out, this person who was a white wolf and told Yuan Shao to come back to a state, what else is impossible?

Shen Xian studied for a while, and suddenly heard a report from the soldiers guarding the city outside the door, saying that the scouts had found traces of the assembly of the army outside the city, whether it was Xun You's people or Zhang He's people It is not clear, as for whether they came to surrender to Cheng or to fight, it is not clear, and they have sent people to continue to investigate.

The little brother who came to deliver the news looked embarrassed, Shen Xian thought about it, and felt that it might be because the news was too vague, she was not in a hurry, and while ordering another visit, she asked the soldiers guarding the city to prepare, if they really came to fight, at least don't let people suddenly attack in a hurry.

But...... The courier is too fast, isn't it? How long did it take to get it to Zhang He? Thinking of Guo Jia's work efficiency, Shen Xian muttered in her heart.

It's okay, Guo Jia is unreliable, and Jia Xu, Wen Hete is reliable.

Shen Xian comforted herself.

Shen Xian was about to get up to see what the strategists were doing, when Liu Xi in her arms suddenly babbled and stretched out her hand to point vigorously at the map.

"Why?" Shen Xian walked to the map with Liu Xi in her arms, and she poked Liu Xi's little tender face: "Do you want to point out the country?" ”

Liu Xi didn't say a word, she pointed to the map tremblingly, raised her arm and drew a circle, and circled the whole map.

After squeezing, Liu Xi was happy, she giggled and clapped her hands, and opened her mouth to bite Shen Xian's collar.

"You can't eat this." Shen Xian reluctantly pushed Liu Xi's little face away: "How old are you?" The little thing that has no teeth wants to nibble on everything, go for a walk, and take you to play with your father. ”

Halfway through, I met Guo Jia and others who were coming here, and when everyone talked, they found that they had heard the news from the scouts, and they didn't worry about going to the city tower to see the situation. So they gathered up and went to the gate of the city together.

"Are you okay with her?" Guo Jia was covered with cold air, and he didn't dare to hug Liu Xi casually, so he only took off Shen Xian's phoenix pendant, and hung a finger in front of Liu Xi's eyes, pulling it up and down, causing Liu Xi's big eyes to roll around.

"It's fine." Shen Xian wrapped a thick cloak around Liu Xi's swaddling clothes, Liu Xi only showed half of his small face, looking at the world curiously: "My side is the safest." ”

If something really happens, Shen Xian is sure to leave safely with Liu Xi. But if Liu Xi is entrusted to others, she will always be worried.

When Shen Xian and Guo Jia were talking, Liu Xi had accumulated strength for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the jade pendant fiercely.

The little baby looked at the teeth and claws quite imposing, in fact, it was a paper tiger, the hand strength was soft, and the accurate head was not enough, and it hit her father's chin all of a sudden.

"I can't give you this," Guo Jiaping slapped his daughter for no reason, but he was not angry, he shook the jade pendant, and said seriously: "This is what your mother gave me." ”

Sima Yi: ...... I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything.

Jia Xu glanced at Guo Jia with contempt, grabbing things with a child, Guo Fengxiao, how old are you?

Before he reached the city gate, Sun Ce rode over first, his face was obviously happy, and he opened his throat and shouted from afar: "It's Gongda who is coming!" ”

When Shen Xian heard this, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart fell halfway. Although she is not afraid that Zhang He will lead people to attack the city, the less trouble the better.

Sun Ce stopped in front of Shen Xian, turned over and dismounted in a dashing manner, and snatched Liu Xi in her arms: "Does Xiao Xi miss me?" ”

Shen Xian: ......

Guo Jia: ......

Liu Xi's answer was an unceremonious slap on Sun Ce's face.

Seeing that Guo Jia was about to roll up his sleeves again, in order to avoid rumors in the army that Guo Jia and Sun Ce were fighting on the street for the little lord, Shen Xian hurriedly stirred up the topic: "Gongda is from alone?" ”

"No," Sun Ce didn't mind Liu Xi's whirring pink fist, he hugged Liu Xi and tossed around, and finally coaxed her to laugh, and then replied: "Zhang Junyi came with him." ”

Shen Xian was completely relieved when she heard this, and her hanging heart finally fell back to its original place.

Shen Xian smiled happily, she turned around and praised her strategist group: "Your movements are also quite fast." ”

The strategists look at the sky and the sky, and the earth looks at the ground, but they don't look at Shen Xian.

"Huh?" Shen Xian felt that something was wrong, this was different from the previous style of painting, even if Jia Xu and the newcomer Sima Yi were modest, Guo Jia would not be so low-key.

Just when Shen Xian wanted to ask these people why they didn't speak, Xun You and Zhang He came over with someone.

"Lord!"

Seeing Shen Xian intact again, Xun You said that he was finally relieved, during this time he was made mentally weak by Shen Xian with a strong stomach, and he was always worried that she was found and arrested in Chang'an City, or accidentally bumped into it, in case something happened-

Xun You's gaze swept over Shen Xian's flat lower abdomen.

Hey, what about the kid?!

"Isn't that?" Hearing Xun You's blurted out question, Sun Ce hugged Liu Xi and turned around, he took Liu Xi's little paw and waved it at Xun You: "Say hello to your Uncle Gongda." ”

Xun You: ...... Is it already raw?!

That's right, the calculation time is indeed almost the same, after experiencing the ups and downs of the mood, Xun You's head buzzed, and it took him a lot of effort to drive out the other messy thoughts, took a deep breath and hugged Shen Xian's fists and said, "Congratulations to the lord!" ”

"Rejoice and rejoice," Shen Xian smiled like a flower, she scratched Liu Xi's chin: "When I return to Yizhou, Sister Zhaoji will definitely give birth too, don't care if it's a man or a woman, let them be companions in the future." ”

The others didn't react, but Sima Yi and Zhang He's eyes when they looked at Xun You were instantly different.

Xun You nodded, and said calmly, "Thank you, lord." ”

After Xun You's introduction, Shen Xian and Zhang He chatted briefly, and she keenly noticed that Zhang He seemed to be a little anxious, as if he was very worried. Shen Xian didn't ask a question directly, but glanced at Xun You quietly, Xun You nodded, and Shen Xian asked Sun Ce to accompany Zhang He to go down and make arrangements.

Zhang He has an army of 70,000 in his hands, in fact, he has been guarding Chencang Pass for so long, after fighting Ma Teng and Xun You, there is always consumption back and forth, and now there are only about 50,000 left. But the number of 50,000 people is also very much, plus Xun You still has 30,000 people in his hands, a total of 80,000 people, and he can't squeeze into Chang'an City at all, so after Zhang He left, Shen Xian took the initiative to distribute the manpower, and asked Jia Xu to take the talisman to Xun You's subordinates to send 10,000 elite soldiers into the city to guard the palace and other important places, and the rest of the people directly camped outside the city.

After Jia Xu took the talisman, Xun You secretly glanced at him, and Jia Xu knew that Shen Xian had already arranged those Xun You, and he just transferred people directly after he went.

This favor seems to be sold lightly or seriously, but Xun You generally doesn't do that. Shen Xian's subordinates basically don't have any bad things about intrigue, everyone is quite harmonious, if there is any help, they can help each other, and there is no need to make any interest exchange before. Xun You would do this, probably because this matter was a bit troublesome, and he might leave a bad impression on Shen Xian. So Xun You reminded Jia Xu, just look at it and don't make a sound, don't speak.

Jia Xu didn't go out of the city immediately, he thought about it for a while, and probably understood what Xun Yu meant, so he stood behind Shen Xian and waited patiently.

Xun You talked to Shen Xian for a while, and even Sima Yi could see that he seemed to be absent-minded, but since Jia Xu and Guo Jia didn't speak, he also resolutely implemented the teachings of his predecessors and shut up quietly.

"Gongda, what the hell are you trying to say?" Shen Xian suddenly asked, "I've been chattering for a long time, what do you have to say?" ”

"That's the case," Xun You took a deep breath: "Lord, I don't know if you are ...... friend"

Wait a minute! Guo Jia, who was holding Liu Xi, suddenly raised his head, and Jia Xu also happened to look over, and the eyes of the two collided, expressing the same meaning: The letter was not delivered!

"Tomorua?" Shen Xian frowned: "What's wrong with him?" Didn't I write to you? Didn't receive it? ”

Xun You was slightly stunned, and then a cold sweat came down: "Letter? What letter? ”

"The letter that asked Zhang Junyi to surrender quickly," Shen Xian narrowed her eyes: "Your Majesty has died, and I can't hold it anymore in Chang'an, so let you quickly fool him into the city for me, and let's pack up and go to fight Yuan Benchu." ”

Xun You: ......

Xun You's voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty...... When did you die? Is there a testament? ”

He originally wanted to ask Liu Xie how he died, but after thinking about it, what if Shen Xian died? It's better to ask less.

Shen Xian didn't answer Xun You's words, she turned around slowly, looking at the strategist group who had dressed herself as a background board.

Shen Xian said softly: "Didn't send it? ”

"Ahem," Jia Xu explained in a low voice: "Gongda's side won't wait any longer, even if he doesn't believe it, he will fool Zhang Junyi...... Please come into town. ”

After Jia Xu finished speaking, Guo Jia answered, and in front of Xun You, he calmly erased Xun Chen's name: "But we did find the news that Fu Gong and wanted to pass on in the letter,"

Shen Xian's attention was really shifted from "You are so passive and cowardly" to "frustration and harboring evil intentions", she took the letter handed by Guo Jia, and looked at it one by one according to Guo Jia's instructions.

The level of frustration is very high, and he can hide the news that the emperor has died in just one page, Shen Xian has to sigh after reading it, this is really a talent. However, no matter how talented you are, if you can't use it for yourself, it will only become a huge trouble.

"Forget it, if you don't receive it, you won't receive it," After reading the letter, Shen Xian took a deep breath and slapped the letter into Xun You's arms: "It's just right, when you go to pick up Youruo, you will teach Fu Gong and a meal by the way, tell him that Zhang Junyi's army has been swallowed by me, and ask him if he will surrender, if he does, he will honestly be a strategist and give advice; If you don't come down, go back to your hometown and farm. ”

"What I'm saying is," Shen Xian looked at Xun Yu gloomily, and added word by word: "Return, old, home." ”

This time I definitely didn't understand the meaning of returning to my hometown, Sima Yi thought silently.

Xun You trembled and walked away messily in the trade wind.

Seeing that Xun Yu was fine, Jia Xu also left to transfer troops outside the city, and only Sima Yi and Guo Jia were left by Shen Xian's side.

Seeing Guo Jia walking forward with Liu Xi in her arms, and Shen Xian raised her hand from time to time to scratch Liu Xi to tease her, Sima Yi suddenly felt that he was shining brightly, he was uncomfortable, and just wanted to find an excuse to slip away, he heard Shen Xian say faintly: "Why didn't you send the letter." ”

…… How do you still remember it? Didn't you say that the attention was diverted!

"Guo Fengxiao is definitely you," Shen Xian glanced at Sima Yi, who was trembling, and decided to let go of Meng Xin, and took the old fritters to the knife: "Say, why don't you work hard?" ”

Guo Jia hugged Liu Xi in front of him, he blinked his eyes, and suddenly his face changed slightly: "Lord, I'm not feeling well......"

Shen Xian: ......

"You asked me to recuperate before, but I didn't have time, and now I'm afraid it's ......" Guo Jia pressed his temple, looking very weak.

"Sick?" Shen Xian narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly: "Okay, raise it, I'll prescribe medicine for you, remember to eat every day." ”

Guo Jia froze.

Oh oops, forget about this stubble.

Guo Jia took it upon herself and took the initiative to bring it up, which made Shen Xian suddenly remember that she hadn't urged Guo Jia to take medicine for a long time.

So Shen Xian forcibly gave Guo Jia a pulse. After making sure that Guo Jia was in good health now, but was still weak compared to others, Shen Xian unceremoniously opened a bunch of medicines, and instructed the imperial doctor to remember to add a taste of Coptis chinensis when decocting the medicine.

Taking advantage of the gap when Shen Xian went to help Jia Xu and Sun Ce reorganize the army, Guo Jia secretly sneaked to find the imperial doctor's order, and used his three-inch incorruptible tongue to coerce and lure, and finally secretly threw away the hateful Coptis chinensis after coaxing for a long time.

Xun You fished Xun Chen out of the small black room, and the two stood outside the palace gate relatively speechless.

After a while, Xun Chen sighed: "Wen Ruo asked you to come?" ”

Xun You took out a letter and held it up in front of Xun Chen and trembled: "The whole family asked me to come." ”

It's a lot of pressure, the seven uncles and eight uncles all wrote to Xun You, nagging him for a long time, and there was only one central idea: "Keep your uncle!" ”

"The lord asked you to work with me honestly," Xun Yu looked at Xun Chen for a while and said, "What do you think?" ”

Xun Chen was silent for a while before replying, "I want to go home." ”

Xun You knows Shen Xian's personality very well, as long as a talented and virtuous person can be snared, she will be dug up by her with a hoe to work, and she will never let go of Xun Chen's key observation object. So Xun You thought about it and began to scare Xun Chen: "The lord said that he would send him back to his hometown." ”

Xun Chen looked at Xun Yu silently.

"She won't care if you have been under Yuan Benchu," Xun You patted Xun Chen's shoulder: "Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious." ”

"But the Xun family ......" Xun Chen opened his mouth, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said something seemingly unrelated to Xun You: "Before Your Majesty died, he left a testament to Yang Sikong. ”

"Huh?" Xun You's attention was really attracted, he looked at no one on the left and right, and asked in a low voice, "You know...... What's the content? ”

Xun Chen shook his head: "But I guess that eighty percent is that His Majesty wants to pass on to Taiwei Liu." ”

When he said this, Xun Chen secretly observed Xun You's face, and to his surprise, Xun You actually looked like he was going to do something bad, and he didn't see the joy of his lord being smashed by the throne that fell from the sky.

"It's bad," Xun You muttered, "The lord is absolutely...... So she blocked the news of His Majesty's death and has not yet been announced? ”

Xun Chen nodded: "But she can't hide it for too long." ”

Even if Shen Xian wants to continue to hide it, Yang Biao, who holds the edict of the former emperor, will try his best to poke out this matter and force Shen Xian to take the throne.

In Yang Biao's opinion, as long as Shen Xian ascends the throne, the Han will be safe, and she will not always think about overthrowing the Liu family and starting a new dynasty to play, and their scholars will naturally be safe.

However, Shen Xian hates others trying to control her life the most in her life, how she chooses herself is one thing, if someone forces her to make a choice behind her back, it will be another thing.

"It's okay," Xun You said while thinking: "Zhang Junyi's matter has been resolved, and Si Li has basically fallen under our control, now it's up to Yanzhou ......"

"Yuan Benchu can't escape," Xun You smiled slightly: "As for those who are secretly rubbing and making trouble in the back, let's clean up slowly." ”

Xun Chen wanted to plug his ears and pretend not to hear Xun You's words just now, because he knew that as long as he listened to even one ear, Xun You would hold him and not let go.

For Xun Chen's sake, Xun You didn't go to talk to Fu Zhi, he asked Jia Xu and Sima Yi.

I don't know what Jia Xu nagged with Fu Xu, anyway, the next day, Fu Zhu was completely convinced to join the beautiful family in Yizhou, he didn't make trouble or toss, so he quietly followed Jia Xu to help, honest like a little chicken.

Shen Xian happened to pass by the barracks and saw Jia Xu working with Sima Yi and Fu Zhu, and only felt that Jia Xu was too terrible, and he must not be provoked in the future.

On the other side, Xun You also got rid of Xun Chen, and took him to Shen Xian to ask Liu Xie about it.

"How much grain and grass is there in Chang'an City?" Xun You asked straight to the point: "There are not many in our army, and the next redelivery should have been three days later." ”

When Sima Yi went to find Shen Xian to surrender, Zhang He also sent someone to Xun You to negotiate peace, but no matter how many people he went, they were politely invited away by Xun You, and finally Zhang He was finally hung by Xun You and couldn't stand it, plus Sima Yi didn't reply to the letter for a long time, Zhang He had to go out in person to show his sincerity, and then he was taken down by Xun You in one fell swoop.

Xun You didn't dare to delay after receiving Zhang He, and immediately pulled out the camp and rushed to Chang'an City, so he missed the re-mail at that time.

"I left someone behind," Xun You said, "I will help bring the grain from Chang'an City." ”

But relying only on Xun You's grain and grass is not enough to eat, it was prepared by Zhang Lu for 30,000 people, and now there are nearly 80,000 people in Chang'an, and there are people everywhere waiting for food with their mouths open.

"Let's transfer from Yizhou and write a letter to Wen Ruo." Shen Xian also sighed after inspecting the grain and grass, Chang'an City is indeed not short of food, but that is because there are no other troops in the city except for the Tiger Camp and Yulinwei, and the people have more or less reserve grain at home, and it is not a problem to persist for a period of time.

"We have no food here," Shen Xian's gaze wandered back and forth on the map: "Yuan Benchu must not have a good time there." ”

Yuan Shao's grain and grass are allocated from Sili and Youzhou and Jizhou, and now Sili is half occupied by Shen Xian, and Zhao Yun is leading people to make trouble in Youzhou, so only Jizhou is still stable and can supply grain continuously, as for how long it will be provided......

"Not more than a month." This is the first time Xun Chen has spoken since he entered the house, and his voice is very calm: "Yuan Gong only brought a month's grain and grass before leaving, and Chang'an sent it once on the way, but half of it was robbed, and now only Jizhou has the ability to transfer grain again." ”

"But the autumn harvest will come soon," Xun Yu said, "if they cut it quickly......

"The premise is that there is still food still planted in the ground," Shen Xian smiled: "I don't know about other places, but Cao Mengde retreated all the way back and burned all the way, anyway, all the grain that could be harvested in Yanzhou was almost ordered by him, and he didn't leave Yuan Benchu at all." ”

Besides, the soldiers were busy fighting, how could they have time to farm, the peasants were almost gone, the fields were barren and no one took care of them, and the grain had long been crowded out by weeds.

Xun You suddenly thought of something: "Where did Cao Mengde's food come from?" ”

"Jingzhou has been transferred," Shen Xian pointed to the Xiangjiang River: "Jingyang Erzhou has had a bumper harvest this year." ”

That's why Shen Xian dared to take people outside for so long.

"You can't give it for nothing, can you?" Xun You touched his chin: "You have to knock them out." ”

"No need to knock," Shen Xian said lazily: "Everyone is their own person, be generous." ”

Xun You: ...... How has the world changed in my absence?

Seeing the doubt in Xun You's eyes, Shen Xian explained: "Sooner or later." ”

Cao Cao had no intention of becoming the emperor himself, so he sent his eldest son to ask Shen Xian for help, and the implication was that he would follow Shen Xian from now on, if Shen Xian supported the emperor, he would also support it, and if Shen Xian wanted to kill the emperor...... It is estimated that Cao Cao will not explicitly oppose or support, but he will remain neutral.

"After you came, my pressure was a lot less," Shen Xian smiled and patted Xun You's shoulder: "Si Li is tentative, I will send Ziyi to lead people back to support the second brother over there, and the rest ......"

The rest is a series of troubles after Liu Xie's sudden assassination.

"My lord," Xun You thought for a while before he asked slowly, "I heard that Your Majesty left an edict?" Then you ......"

"Drag it out," Shen Xian rubbed her eyebrows: "You can drag it out as long as you can, in short, you can't agree now." ”

At least before Yuan Shao is cleaned up and a group of arrogant families are suppressed, Shen Xian must stand up and not be "enthroned", once she sits in that position, she will have a lot more constraints than now, and many things cannot be done directly.

"Or find a way to steal back the edict hidden in Yang Sikong's hand," Shen Xian sighed helplessly: "Diao Chan went three times and didn't find where the old man put the holy decree." ”

"This ......" Xun You and Xun Chen glanced at each other: "Lord, let me think about it." ”
