So when Zhang Lu thought there was something urgent, and hurriedly finished handling the official business at hand, he saw four people sitting around the table...... Gobang. Cai Yan and Gan Ningxia, Xun You and Shen Xian, everyone was very happy, and they couldn't see the previous gloom at all.

"Stop playing, you're really not in a hurry." Zhang Lu looked at the four of them with a smile: "This is the document just sent by Xiliang, Ma Shoucheng has arrived outside Sanguan, the main defenders of Sanguan are Li Zhiran and Zhang Yuanshan, they fought a battle, regardless of victory or defeat, Ma Shoucheng urged you why it has been three days since the appointed time, and there is still no news in Chang'an City." ”

Shen Xian's head was big: "How do I know?" Wang Situ didn't send me a letter either, and I'm still black-eyed. ”

"It's not going to work like this, we've got to figure it out what to do." Shen Xian pondered for a long time and said seriously: "The news in Chang'an City has not arrived for a long time, I think it may be that Wang Situ has an accident." Lu Fengxian and they have been defending Xieyu Pass, and it is a joke that our 30,000 people forcibly attacked, but we can't drag the army here all the time. ”

The meaning of Shen Xian's words is very clear, her construction is to withdraw troops. Wang Yun didn't do it, Chang'an City was not chaotic, and they couldn't even cross the Xieyu Pass. Sili can't be defeated, but every day the army comes out, it consumes the materials and manpower in the rear, and in the long run, Yizhou's economy and agriculture will be dragged down, and the result will outweigh the losses.

Even if she loses this battle, it is not Shen Xian who cries, but if she wastes food and energy all the time...... Shen Xian felt sorry for the people of Yizhou.

Gan Ning didn't want to fight, because after a few days in the camp of the Slope Valley, he began to feel that Liu Yan's clever plan was a stupid move, and Wang Yun's side was too variable, and this battle could not be won at all, it was a waste of effort. But he couldn't say this kind of thing that shook the army's heart, because although Shen Xian seemed to hesitate, she hadn't completely given up, and opening her mouth at this time was to shake the army's heart. So Gan Ning could only shrug his shoulders wordlessly.

Gan Ning didn't speak, Xun You and Cai Yan couldn't speak, these two people had silently reopened the game of Go, you came and I took many steps, pretending not to hear Shen Xian's words at all.

Shen Xian didn't care about them, her eyes kept on Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu hesitated for a long time, and finally he took out a bamboo tube sealed with clay from his arms and handed it to Shen Xian: "This is a secret letter sent from Chang'an City. ”

Shen Xian frowned and took the secret letter, and her tone became a little stern: "Mr. Gongqi, what do you mean by this?" How long have we been waiting for news from Chang'an City? Are you planning to keep such an important matter a secret? ”

"This is not a letter sent to us." Zhang Lu interrupted Shen Xian's words: "This is a letter sent to Chengdu to the state pastor, and I stopped it. ”

Shen Xian didn't understand what Zhang Lu meant at first, but seeing Cai Yan and Xun You suddenly glance at Zhang Lu in surprise, she understood the trick after thinking about it. As the saying goes, the generals will not be subject to foreign military orders, and the people who led the troops to fight on the front line at this time were Zhang Lu and Shen Xian, if the secret letter was sent by Wang Yun, it would definitely be sent to Shen Xian here, and it would not be sent all the way to Chengdu to be handed over to Liu Yan. But now this letter is sent to Liu Yan by name...... Shen Xian had a bad premonition.

Shen Xian didn't quickly open the letter, she glanced at Gan Ning, who nodded, stood up and walked towards the door, patting Zhang Lu on the shoulder meaningfully as she passed by.

Gan Ning leaned against the door and made a "safe" gesture to Shen Xian, and Shen Xian asked slowly, "Is there anything you want to say, sir?" ”

Zhang Lu was a little uncomfortable with Shen Xian's careless interrogation attitude, but compared to this, it was obviously Liu Yan who did something that made him more unbearable. After being silent for a long time, Zhang Lu said seemingly lightly: "Lord Zhou Mu sent the third prince to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison at Jiameng Pass, ready to meet me at any time. ”

"Third brother? He got sick if he didn't take half a pound of medicine a day, and my father asked him to command the army? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Shen Xian suddenly frowned: "Ten thousand soldiers and horses? There are only 60,000 soldiers in the whole territory of Yizhou, 30,000 in Hanzhong, and some defenders are left in other checkpoints and fortresses, where will they give him another 10,000 soldiers? Could it be that you have been recruiting soldiers during the time I went to Luoyang? It can't be that many more people at once, right? ”

Zhang Lu's face didn't change much, but his hands hanging down at his side began to clench slightly: "The troops originally stationed at Yangping Pass and Ziwu Pass, the state pastor drew three thousand each, and the remaining two thousand people were transferred from Kuimen, and the other one thousand were scattered soldiers and horses from various counties. ”

Shen Xian was stunned, she didn't know anything about this news, and it was not mentioned in the documents sent from all over the country, if it weren't for Zhang Lu's initiative to confess today, Shen Xian probably only realized that she was once again pitted by her father after discovering that Dong Zhuo's army passed through the Meridian Valley and entered the hinterland of Hanzhong.

Shen Xian took a deep breath, and she tried hard to control her feelings without scolding directly: "He...... Father, what does he want to do?! ”

Even if Shen Xian didn't trust Zhang Lu before and wanted to replace Hanzhong with her own power, at this time she had to say that Liu Yan was crazy? Even if you want to withdraw Zhang Lu's military power, you can't rush it at this time! And it is also from Yangping Pass and Meridian Pass to draw troops!

Originally, Liu Yan transferred troops throughout Yizhou in order to attack Chang'an, and the defenders of Ziwu Pass and Yangping Pass were taken away a lot, and the remaining troops added up to less than 10,000 people. The result is good, Liu Yan waved his hand and took away 6,000 people, leaving less than 3,000 people to guard the two checkpoints, he is so sure that Dong Zhuo will not go to Meridian Valley? Just believe that Ma Teng will not give up playing Chang'an halfway and switch to Chencang to fight Hanzhong?

There is also Kuimen, looking at Zhang Lu's expression, Shen Xian estimated that the 2,000 people Liu Yan transferred from Kuimen were all the sailors under her, and those sailors were originally specially formed to defeat Nanjun before Liu Biao took office.

Shen Xian felt that her heart was congested, she was really stuffy, she wanted to let Liu Yan toss blindly, she just followed it, but now she can't follow it! If you mix it up again, maybe Hanzhong will really be destroyed by Liu Yan! Obviously, Liu Yan's IQ was still explosive before, but how long did it take for it to drop below the average level and become mentally retarded? Or is Liu Yan's IQ expendable, calculating that Dong Zhuo has used up the wisdom of his life, and he is now stupid?

"He's going to draw troops, and you're going to let him go? Isn't he afraid that Dong Zhongying will sneak attack Hanzhong from the Meridian Valley? Without waiting for Zhang Lu to answer, Shen Xian continued: "His official seal is here with me, how did he transfer the troops?!" ”

"Cut, official seal?" Gan Ning, who was squatting at the door, turned around and laughed at Shen Xian: "The emperor has let Dong Lao thief Guan Chang'an go, who can care about these soldiers and horses in the place?" Whoever has the money and who raises it is whoever's own. ”

"I ......" Zhang Lu opened his mouth, with a hint of chagrin and resentment in his hoarse voice, and he whispered: "My mother and younger brother are still guests in the state pastoral mansion in Mianzhu. ”

Shen Xian almost pinched the silver state seal hidden in her sleeve, remembering that Mrs. Qingxuan still built it herself and Liu Yan left it in Mianzhu, she finally couldn't help but hit the wall with a punch: "I'm so angry!" ”

This is to shoot yourself in the foot.

Anger is anger, and after venting, things still have to be resolved.

"Do you want to fight this battle?" Shen Xian said with a dark face: "It's already like this, and it's still unknown whether Hanzhong can keep it." ”

"Don't be so pessimistic." Cai Yan comforted: "Why don't you take a look at what is written in that secret letter first?" ”

Shen Xian nodded, she opened the sealed secret letter in three or two, and quickly read the content inside, the letter was actually not long, not even a page. Shen Xian's expression became distorted the moment she saw the opening title, and as she browsed the contents of the letter, her face became worse and worse, and when she finally saw the payment, it was so hideous that it looked like she was about to bite.

"Hey, are you okay?" Gan Ning leaned at the door frame and asked cautiously, "What did the letter say?" ”

"My father's plan has long been discovered," Shen Xian's every word seemed to be dragged out from between her teeth: "Wang Situ and my eldest brother and second brother have been killed by Dong Lao Thief one after another, and Lu Fengxian was deliberately sent to Xieyu Pass by Dong Lao Thief, wanting to use our hands to eradicate the remnants of the Bingzhou Army." ”

Zhang Lu's face changed greatly, Gan Ning couldn't help but scold, Cai Yan put down the chess pieces with a solemn face, and folded his hands on his chin in contemplation. Only Xun You's expression was still calm, he thought for a while and asked, "Who sent that letter?" Is it reliable? ”

The content of the letter Shen Xian has been mentally prepared for a long time, and there is nothing too surprising, after all, Wang Yun has not heard from him for so many days, and there is a great possibility that something will happen. What made Shen Xian grit her teeth was not Wang Yun and her eldest brother and second brother who were secretly executed, but the person who wrote the letter.

Shen Xian handed the secret letter to Xun You: "I don't know if it's reliable, this person's name is Jia Xu Ziwenhe, and he claims to be a general in Dong Lao's thief army." ”

Although she said this, Shen Xian had already believed Jia Xu's words in her heart, she felt that her face was a little painful, and she thought that even if someone saw through Liu Yan's plan, that person should also be Li Ru, but she didn't expect it to be really Jia Xu, who has always been low-key.

This Jia Xu's character design seems to be a bit collapsed? Haven't you always been nosy? How can Liu Yan and He De make you fall in love with him, pit him so happily?

If it is planted in Jia Xu's hands, then it can only be recognized, anyway, Shen Xian feels that he can't beat this poisoner with his IQ, Xun You can probably fight with him, but unfortunately he ran into Liu Yan, a pig teammate, and was dragged back.

"Huh? This letter is ostensibly addressed to Liu Zhoumu, but the title at the beginning of the letter is your name. Xun You raised his eyebrows, he glanced at Zhang Lu meaningfully, and then said to Shen Xian: "Is this Jia Wenhe so sure that this secret letter will be stopped and given to you?" ”

Cai Yan suddenly asked, "Mr. Gongqi, what channel did this letter take?" Is the messenger still in the barracks? ”

Sending secret letters to people in the opposing camp during such a sensitive period when the two armies are at war is found out is a great crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. If Jia Xu was originally a member of the emperor's faction, then it was understandable for him to take the risk of giving Shen Xian a message. But looking at what Jia Xu did, it was obvious that he was Dong Lao's subordinate, and he should still be a good mixer, plus Jia Xu had always been a person who had nothing to do with himself, so he had no need to remind Shen Xian at all.

So why on earth did he do it?

Zhang Lu said with a puzzled face: "Yes, but listen to Gongzi's words, this Jia Wenhe should be Dong Zhuo's subordinate?" But it was His Majesty's person who sent the letter? ”

So Jia Xu cooperated with His Majesty? But it doesn't make sense, if Shen Xian and Ma Teng have the advantage in the war, it makes sense for Jia Xu to operate secretly for self-preservation, but now it is Dong Zhuo who is obviously in the upper hand, Chang'an City is very safe, why does Jia Xu have to toss so much?

"If Jia Wenhe is not trustworthy...... Xun You said to Shen Xian: "Is the person who sent your fourth brother still in the army?" ”

"You mean Shia?" Shen Xian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered this young man who had a very low sense of savings.

Although Shi A once said that he was ordered by his master to protect Shen Xian, Shen Xian thought that Shi A's real task was for the emperor to monitor her behavior, and since Shi A was choked away by her and Sun Ce that day, he had never appeared in front of Shen Xian, and he didn't know where people had gone for so many days.

Shen Xian looked at Gan Ning.

Gan Ning is still very reliable, he really knows Shi A's whereabouts, but Shi Ganning's expression is a little strange: "He stays in the camp tent, and he doesn't go out of the gate all day like a big girl." ”

So Zhang Lu sent a general to invite Shi A to come over, and by the way, he called the person who sent the secret letter to Shi A to identify it.

The soldier who delivered the secret letter arrived first, this was a very ordinary-looking young man, the kind that he couldn't find when he threw it into the crowd, probably because it took him a lot of effort to deliver the letter safely at the heavily defended Xieyu Pass, and this person's expression was very depressed. He greeted Zhang Lu and Shen Xian in turn: "What do the two adults have to order?" ”

Xun You stood up and walked in front of the soldier with his hands behind his back, and asked expressionlessly, "Who sent you?" ”

The soldiers secretly squinted at Zhang Lu and Shen Xian, and when they saw that their expressions were not abnormal, they hurriedly withdrew their gazes and replied respectfully to Xun You's words: "Lord Hui, it was General Tiger Ben who sent me to deliver an urgent letter. ”

Xun You asked again: "Who do you want to send the letter to?" ”

"Give it to Lord Liu Junlang of Yizhou."

"Oh?" Xun You raised his eyebrows: "This is strange, since it is an urgent letter, why do you have to come around our camp if you don't hurry up and continue to hurry?" ”

"This—" The soldier was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, General Pi informed Shi Ah that he was coming. Xun Yu put the soldiers aside for the time being and let Shi A in.

I saw Shi A enter the room without squinting and stood in front of Shen Xian, he looked respectful but asked indifferently, "Lord Liu, are you looking for me?" ”

"Do you know this man?" Shen Xian pointed to the soldiers and asked Shi A.

Shi A glanced at the soldiers, and there was a strange color in his eyes: "This is one of the guards under my master's command to guard the royal family. ”

Shen Xian asked bluntly, "Is it possible for this person to betray?" ”

The soldier's face suddenly became ugly, and Shi A, who had always been indifferent, also had anger on his face, and he said to Shen Xian seriously: "Impossible. ”

"Very well, you can go." Shen Xian didn't say anything superfluous, but when the two of them walked to the door, she suddenly asked again, "This secret letter...... Do you know who wrote it? ”

"Your Excellency." The soldier's tone was a little eager: "Since it is a secret document, how can the subordinates know?" ”

After Shi A and the soldiers left, the five people in the room looked at each other and basically confirmed that the content of the letter sent by Jia Xu, a strategist from Dong Zhuo's camp, was true. As for why Jia Xu reminded them, Shen Xian also felt very strange, but the mind of the top strategist was not something that mortals such as me could guess, and she didn't have a clue when she thought about it, so she simply threw this matter aside and picked up the main thing to solve it first.

"Jia Wenhe said in the letter that let's wait for one more day in Xieyuguan, and things will naturally be clear after a day." Shen Xian thought for a while and said, "What does this mean, will there be an accident to Dong Jun guarding Xieyu Pass in a day's time, or will something happen to us?" ”

"Wait, don't you know?" Gan Ning looked impatient: "So I am most annoyed by your strategists, you are very mysterious, and you can't explain whether you live or die until the moment the result is revealed." ”

Shen Xian glanced at Gan Ning: "Don't blame others for being stupid." ”

Gan Ning glared at Shen Xian angrily: "Then you are smart, what do you mean by looking at this Jia Wenhe?" ”

Seeing that the two of them were about to engage in daily persecution again, Cai Yan hurriedly changed the topic: "Is it possible that Dong Thief coerced His Majesty and deliberately used someone close to His Majesty to send a letter, so as to paralyze us, so as to take the opportunity to implement something?" ”

"No, looking at Shi A's look and words with the soldier just now, it doesn't look like he's lying." Xun You shook his head: "Besides, we attack, the other party defends, everyone is 30,000 people, obviously the Dong army occupying Xieyu Pass has an advantage, they want to destroy us, just go out of the pass to fight, don't have to work so hard." ”

Xun You paused, seemingly a little unwilling, but still said: "Let's stay for another day, I want to see what tricks this Jia Wenhe is playing." ”

"Okay." Shen Xian sneered: "Then stay for another day." But I want my soldiers to be ready to attack or retreat whenever they can. ”

Zhang Lu nodded: "No problem, I'll give the order." ”

"Wait a minute." Shen Xian stopped Zhang Lu and shook the opened bamboo tube secret document in his hand at him: "Sir, do you know what you said to me just now...... Does it mean anything? ”

Zhang Lu just walked to the door and raised his hand to lift the curtain, and when he heard Shen Xian's words, he stopped and turned his face sideways. The sunlight was scattered through the crack in the door, and Shen Xian couldn't see the expression on Zhang Lu's face clearly against the light, but her intuition told her that Zhang Lu should be smiling.

"Childe, I heard that Lord Liu loves the fourth prince very much," Zhang Lu's voice carried a little demagoguery: "Lord Liu is old, the eldest son and the second son died in Chang'an City, and the third prince is frail and ......sick."

Zhang Lu paused and laughed softly: "Presumably, Gongzi is not the kind of person who will stoop to others, I will say more, there are some things, it is better to plan early." ”

Shen Xian didn't sleep well all night, and the next day she squatted at the gate of the camp with a depressed expression, staring blankly at the only path leading to Xieyu Pass, and Tayan Wuqi obediently lay beside her, flicking her tail from time to time to help drive away the mosquitoes that buzzed and flew by.

Gan Ning got up early to exercise and passed by here, and was taken aback by Shen Xian: "This big black circle, you didn't sleep last night?" ”

"Can't sleep." Shen Xian said cowardly: "Don't care what it is, come quickly, I don't want to ...... anymore"

"Don't want what?" Gan Ning sat down beside Shen Xian and looked at the intersection with her: "Don't want to fight?" ”

"I don't want to fight with my pig teammates." Shen Xian lazily leaned on the soft belly of the Yan Wuqi: "Originally, my plan was to take advantage of Liu Jingsheng's lack of office, first send troops from Kuimen to occupy Nanjun, and then slowly encroach on the territory of Jingyang Erzhou, with the protection of the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, plus the fertile water and soil of Yijingyang Sanzhou, at least you can cultivate and recuperate for a few years, and then send troops from Hanzhong to Liangzhou, refuse to defend Chencang, Sanguan and other places, advance and retreat, it will be much easier to take Guanzhong, and the rest will be slowly cleaned up, It will always be able to calm the chaos of the world. ”

Shen Xian paused for a moment and sighed: "It's a pity that it was all disrupted by my father." ”

Gan Ning listened carefully, although he didn't understand Shen Xian's plan, it could be seen from the occasional flickering light in Shen Xian's pupils when she was talking eloquently that this plan must have cost her a lot of attention. Recalling the cunning look when Shen Xian first saw Shen Xian in front of him, Gan Ning really didn't want to see Shen Xian, who was in low spirits now.

After racking his brains and thinking for a long time, Gan Ning tried to comfort Shen Xian: "Cough, don't be discouraged, it's also a success for you to pacify Si Li first." ”

Shen Xian shook her head: "The current Guanzhong is like a jade seal in the hands of General Wentai, no, it is even hotter than the jade seal." It's not a good place, and whoever occupies it will have the possibility of being attacked by a group. ”

"I'll have to get the rest of the place to be subdued, and I'll clean it up at the end." Shen Xian said softly, "That's where the emperor is. ”

Gan Ning sat with Shen Xian for a while and then went to urge his soldiers to pack their bags and prepare to go, Shen Xian stayed firmly at the gate until the evening, and even Cai Yan brought her the meal, and squatted out to eat. There was no movement on the □□ for a whole day, and the others were a little discouraged, but Shen Xian was still waiting, she had a premonition that something was about to happen.

Sure enough, after nightfall, the scouts sent out hurried back to the camp on fast horses. The soldier said quickly in front of Shen Xian: "Report! My lord, there is an abnormal movement in Xieyu Pass! Enemy forces are massing in large numbers! ”

Gan Ning held a torch to illuminate in front, and Xun You helped Cai Yan to follow behind. After hearing the scout's report, Xun Yu asked, "What is the specific situation?" ”

The soldier thought for a moment and replied: "I only detected that the army was moving, and there were many torches lit in the Xieyu Pass, but I couldn't tell whether to retreat or attack. The subordinates came back first to report the news, and the other brothers continued to inquire and arrived in a while. ”

Shen Xian waved her hand to let the soldiers rest: "Go down, it's hard work." ”

"What do you think?" Shen Xian asked Xun You and Cai Yan.

"It's hard to say." Cai Yan shook his head: "There is too little information, wait a minute." ”

Xun You said: "Give the order down first, let the soldiers prepare for action." ”

"Okay." Gan Ning gave Shen Xian a reassuring look, handed the torch to Xun You, and trotted to give the order.

After a while, the second scout returned, and he saw Shen Xian waiting at the door from a distance, so he shouted before he entered the camp: "My lord! Xieyuguan mutiny! Lu Feng killed Hu Wencai first, and led 30,000 people to turn around and go in the direction of Chang'an! ”

All the soldiers who heard the scout's shouts were in an uproar.

Lu Bu is reversed? At this time? This news was really shocking, Shen Xian was dizzy, she grabbed Cai Yan's hand, took a few deep breaths and tried to stabilize her mind: "Be specific!" ”

The scout turned over and dismounted: "After nightfall, the enemy army in the Xieyu Pass suddenly moved, and a large number of soldiers gathered in the direction of the big tent in the camp, and they had a short internal fight, and then the subordinates heard someone shouting 'Hu Wencai has been ambushed, kill back to Chang'an to punish Dong thief' and other words, and then Lu Fengxian took over the army, and took everyone in the Xieyu Pass to pull out the camp and run in the direction of Chang'an overnight. ”

"Are you sure?" Shen Xian walked up to the scout, stretched out her hand and pressed it on his shoulder, staring at his eyes condescendingly, the scout could feel that Shen Xian seemed to be trembling slightly: "Are you sure this is not a trap?" ”

"Subordinates are sure!" The scout said in a loud voice: "When the subordinates left, the enemy army had already retreated, and there was no one in the Xieyu Pass. ”

"Good!" Shen Xian finally smiled: "Gan Xingba, order 3,000 people to ride fast horses and follow me first, and Mr. Gongqi will lead the army and baggage to catch up!" Let's occupy the Xieyu Pass first. ”

Cai Yan held Shen Xian's hand: "Shang Yu, I'll go with you." ”

Shen Xian was taken aback and hurriedly refused: "Sister Zhaoji, you can go with Mr. Gongqi, although Lu Fengxian is □□ against Dong Lao Thief, but what if?" It's not safe for you to follow. ”

"I'm following you because of that." Cai Yan said firmly: "You have to bring a military advisor to adapt to the situation." ”

"But ......"

Before Shen Xian's words fell, she heard Xun You say lightly: "You follow Mr. Gongqi, I'll go." ”

Cai Yan looked at Xun You quietly, and Xun You's face flickered brightly under the firelight. After the two looked at each other in silence for a long time, Cai Yan suddenly smiled, and she said softly: "Then you pay attention to safety." ”

"Got it." Xun You stuffed the torch to Cai Yan, turned around to lead the horse, and said as he walked: "What can the little girl's family do." ”

Cai Yan turned his head to look at Shen Xian with an innocent face, Shen Xian smiled, feeling that her knees hurt a little.

Shen Xian and Gan Ning took three thousand light horsemen and ran quickly towards Xieyu Pass.

The sky is dark and there is no bright moon in sight, and the road of the valley is not easy to walk, so it is very dangerous for everyone to walk at night with torches. But the situation is urgent, and there is no longer so much to take care of, so everyone has to be careful and careful against the stone wall. Fortunately, Momogawa is only more than 30 miles away from Xieyu Pass, and it will be able to arrive soon.

Halfway Shen Xian met the scouts who had returned to the last two returns, and the scouts told Shen Xian that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses had indeed completely left Xieyu Pass, and at this speed, it was estimated that they had arrived in Yixian County at this time.

Shen Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No one could understand why Lu Bu suddenly rebelled, and could only infer that something unexpected had happened, because when Shen Xian arrived at Xieyu Pass first, he found that most of the fortifications built by Dong Jun in the checkpoint had not been demolished in time, which shows how anxious Lu Bu was.

This is cheaper for Shen Xian, saving her time and materials to build, and now she only needs to strengthen the building left by Lu Bu.

Shen Xian asked the scouts to send the news of Lu Bu's rebellion to Ma Teng, who was still in Sanguan and confronting Li Dao, and then sent a thousand men to meet Zhang Lu's army, one thousand people patrolled nearby, and the rest camped in place to rest, preparing to change shifts with the patrolling people after an hour. After arranging a simple defense, Gan Ning followed the patrolling soldiers to check the surrounding environment, while Shen Xian called Xun You to the camp tent left by Lu Bu.

Gan Ning is okay, after all, he is a military general, and his skin is durable. But Xun You can't do it, this trip to stay up all night and run wildly to make him very tired, and when he arrives at the destination, his tense spirit is relaxed, Xun You suddenly feels weak, and now he is sitting on the couch with a pale face, holding the hot water handed to him by Shen Xian and trying to calm his rapid breathing.

"Gongda, are you alright?" Shen Xian felt a little distressed when she looked at Xun You's appearance, and it was really a little difficult for him to let a strategist run with the soldiers.

Xun You shook his head and said that he was fine.

After resting for a long time, Xun You finally eased up a lot, and he said slowly: "There is something strange about this today. ”

"It should be Jia Wenhe who did something." Shen Xian thought for a while and said, "If we don't have a perfect grip, how can he make us wait one more day?" ”

"It's a delicate time of day." Xun You narrowed his eyes: "Jia Wenhe's nominally letter to Liu Zhoumu is actually for you, and he is sure that Zhang Gongqi will intercept the letter halfway." may be because Jia Wenhe learned about Liu Zhoumu's arrangement in Jiameng Pass, plus most of the soldiers and horses used in the attack on Chang'an were from Hanzhong, and one thing after another was accumulated, Zhang Gongqi would always have a day of dissatisfaction, and the fourth prince happened to return to Chengdu at this time, Zhang Gongqi wanted to do something, and the first person to find was you. ”

Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, Xun You can look for clues and analyze Jia Xu's thoughts. However, when the dust has not yet settled, Jia Xu was able to use those fragmentary clues and absolute grasp of people's hearts to calculate the behavior of Liu Yan, Zhang Lu, Shen Xian, Lu Bu and others clearly, and then guide them to the side, just like a puppeteer pulling the string, making people step by step into the ending he had already constructed.

After pondering for a moment, Xun You said again: "I guess that when the letter was delivered to you, Jia Wenhe also sent another thing to Lu Fengxian's camp, which may be a piece of news or a person. In short, he didn't even show his face, but he was able to provoke Lu Feng to kill Hu Wen first before betraying Dong Zhongying, and he was bloodless and killed people invisibly. If this qiē arrangement all originated from the hand of Jia Wen and one person, then I really admire the meticulousness and depth of this person's thinking. ”

Xun You sighed: "I really want to have a good game with him......"

Shen Xian held her chin with both hands, and she looked at Xun You with a bright eye: "I want him." ”

"Huh?" Xun You was rarely stunned, he stared at Shen Xian blankly, looking like he couldn't believe what he had heard.

"I want him." Shen Xian seriously repeated what she had just said, she narrowed her eyes and said with an ambiguous expression: "If this kind of person can't be used by me, it's □□ annoying to leave it to others." ”

"Isn't it, Gongda?"

Looking at Shen Xian's smiling face, Xun You suddenly felt that he didn't understand Shen Xian at all. In the past, he watched Shen Xian quarrel with Gan Ning, watched Shen Xian play chess with Cai Yan with a headache, and watched Shen Xian pretend to hold Zhang Lu accountable...... These trivial things add up to a smart, bold, but somewhat lazy little girl.

But the momentum that Shen Xian revealed when she hooked her lips and smiled just now made Xun You shudder for no reason. For a moment, Xun You even had the illusion that "if Shen Xian can't get Jia Xu, she will kill him".

Is it a delusion? Xun Yu asked himself quietly in his heart.

Shen Xian put on a posture of pretending, but she didn't see Xun You's response for a long time, she looked at Xun You with some chagrin, but found that Xun You was staring at the candlestick with straight eyes.

"Gongda? What are you in a daze? Shen Xian stretched out her hand and dangled it in front of Xun You's eyes: "Come back to your senses, what do you want?" ”

"Sorry, nothing." Xun You came back to his senses suddenly, and he smiled slightly: "I'm a little tired." ”

Shen Xian hurriedly rushed Xun You to sleep: "Then you can rest first, if there is anything to wait for Mr. Gongqi's army to arrive tomorrow." ”

It's just such a baby military advisor, what should I do if I'm tired?

Xun You said goodbye and left.

Shen Xian spent the night in Lu Bu's broken tent with no bed and no quilt. The next morning, Shen Xian was woken up by the noise outside the tent, and she wanted to raise her hand to rub her eyes in a daze, but found that her arm was sore, numb from the long pillow, and she couldn't move. Shen Xian, who couldn't cry or laugh, held her arms like a zombie for a long time before she slowly regained consciousness, she gathered the robe that she didn't know who was draped on her shoulders, opened the tent door and walked out.

Zhang Lu's army has arrived, and the originally somewhat empty Xieyu Pass is full of soldiers at this time, some people are struggling to camp, some people are repairing fortifications, everyone who has been on the road all night does not show any decline, anyway, they are all in full swing, Shen Xian also doesn't know what these people eat to grow up, and their energy is so strong.

On the city tower of the Xieyu Pass, Shen Xian found Gan Ning, who was directing the soldiers to repair the city wall, while Cai Yan and Xun You were standing side by side not far away, as if they were overlooking the scenery in the distance.

"Yo, Childe, are you awake?" Gan Ning raised his hand to Shen Xian and greeted: "How did you sleep?" ”

"It's uncomfortable to die." Shen Xian complained to Gan Ning twice, turned around and walked to Cai Yan's side, took off the robe from her shoulders and put it on Cai Yan, and said to her: "It's windy on the mountain, beware of catching a cold." Sister Akihime, when did you arrive? Why don't you take a break? ”

"Shortly after arriving." Cai Yan smiled slightly: "I rested for half a night on the road, so I wasn't very sleepy." ”

"Oh, yes." Shen Xian turned around and asked Gan Ning: "Xingba, where are the camps?" Let them tie up the middle of the road, block the road, and don't go up the mountain. ”

"Yes." Gan Ning's voice came from afar: "Do you still have to worry about this?" ”

The servants leaned against the city wall and watched the scenery for a while, and Cai Yan asked in a low voice, "I've arrived here, what should I do next?" ”

If it weren't for Jia Xushen's stabbing two days ago, Shen Xian would have withdrawn her troops and gone home by now, and it was beyond her expectations to be able to go to Xieyu Pass. But because the current offensive plan is not customized by Shen Xian but by Jia Xu, there are still too many uncertainties ahead. For example, Lu Bu went back with the army to kill, could he successfully knock on the door of Chang'an? What will Dong Zhuo, who learned of Lu Bu's betrayal, do? Will Dong Zhuo die in the hands of Lu Bu this time?

"We ...... Stay here for now. Shen Xian blurted out, seemingly unthoughtful and irresponsible words, but after she said it, she felt that her thoughts, which had been stagnant for a long time, suddenly became cheerful: "Just stay here, wait." ”

"What are you waiting for?" Xun You asked with interest.

Shen Xian laughed: "Wait for Li Zhiran to receive the news of Lu Fengxian's rebellion, and pull the army back to help." ”

"I already sent a letter to Ma Shoucheng last night." Shen Xian's eyes lit up slightly, and she talked eloquently: "Sanguan is not far from Chang'an City, Lu Fengxian killed back with such fanfare, Li Zhiran will receive the news in four days at most, if he doesn't want to wait for Lu Fengxian to be liquidated after entering Chang'an City, he will inevitably come back to Dong Zhongying." However, Ma Shoucheng is still eyeing the Sanguan outside, so Li Zhiran can only take half of the troops at most, so we will ambush him halfway, and then go around the back and join forces with Ma Shoucheng to take the Sanguan. After that......"

Cai Yan took over the conversation: "After that, we just wait and see, if Lu Fengxian can take Chang'an City, then it is not too late to pursue, if it can't be taken, then refuse to defend in Sanguan and Xieyu Pass, and it can also resist the attack of Dong Zhongying's army." ”

Shen Xian stroked her palms and smiled: "That's it." ”

The few people who had made up their minds split up to give orders. Shen Xian found Zhang Lu, who had just finished camping, and informed him of his plan, Zhang Lu said that he had no objections, and listened to the arrangements of the fifth prince.

Shen Xian always felt that Zhang Lu seemed to have something to say, and she frowned and looked at Zhang Lu for a while, and suddenly understood.

"Mr. Gongqi, don't worry," Shen Xian said to Zhang Lu sincerely: "When I return to Chengdu after beating Dong Thief, I will find a way to take Mrs. Qingxuan and Brother Ling out." ”

Zhang Lu's expression relaxed, and he thanked Shen Xian a little crampedly. Shen Xian waved her hand to say that it was nothing, it was a gesture, everyone was their own person.

With Zhang Lu's help, it is best to have the power of Shidao all over the Jing, Yi and Sili regions today, and there is a faint tendency to expand to the whole country, it is really not easy to replace Zhang Lu, but at least now Shen Xian does not have to worry about the problem in Hanzhong.

Saying goodbye to Zhang Lu, Shen Xian wandered around a little absent-mindedly.

Zhang Lu's request reminded Shen Xian of what he had said to him before.

Liu Zhang's obscene look staring at Cai Yan and smirking flashed in Shen Xian's mind, which made her frown a little uncomfortably.

To be honest, as long as her rights are not emptied, Shen Xian is not too obsessed with who is the Yizhou pastor. But what about Liu Yan? Between a weak and talentless son with no foundation and a daughter with great power and ability, who will he choose?
