Shen Xian was openly prying the corner of Her Majesty's wall at the foot of the Imperial City, and she said to the envoy with a sincere face: "Why don't you go with me today, you still dare to stay in Chang'an City, aren't you worried about your own safety?" Jia, Wen, and? ”

The envoy, that is, Jia Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then stroked his palms and laughed: "Haha, I really didn't expect Liu Shangyu to be such an open-minded person, admire, admire." ”

"Prizes. It's not that he's open-minded, but he doesn't care. Shen Xian made a pun, she raised her head to look at the city tower in front of her, and smiled slightly after a while: "Lu Feng's first killing of Dong Thief is the first achievement, I just took the opportunity to pick up a leak, and it is not interesting to make it up." ”

"Someday...... I'll leave this city open for me alone. ”

Shen Xian said the last sentence very lightly, even Jia Xu, who was one step away from her, only heard a few words, but looking at Shen Xian's expression, he seemed to have guessed the unfinished meaning of Shen Xian's words.

Jia Xu said meaningfully: "Then I wish Liu Junshou what he wants to do." ”

"You really don't want to come with me?" Shen Xian seemed to have some regret, so she asked again.

Jia Xu shook his head, revealing an unfathomable expression: "The time has not yet come." ”

"Don't miss your chance." Shen Xian complained half-truthfully: "I'm not always so good at talking. ”

"That's nature." Jia Xu nodded approvingly: "You won't be able to speak right away." ”

"Huh?" Shen Xian looked at Jia Xu blankly.

Jia Xu waved his hand, and his lazy retinue who were hiding far away under the city wall came out of the shadows, carrying two mouthfuls in their hands...... Coffin.

Shen Xian's eyes narrowed, Jia Xu watched the change in her expression, and said slowly: "The Holy Lord has expressed his deep sorrow and condolences for this...... And ordered me to take the two of them back to Yizhou for burial, and these people will help you carry the coffin to Xieyuguan. ”

The entourage carrying the coffin was followed by two subordinates driving a carriage, with large boxes tied to the carts, and looking at the depth of the ruts, Shen Xian estimated that the boxes were full of gold, silver and jewelry.

The attendants lowered the coffin beside Shen Xian, and then bowed to her. Shen Xian didn't care about the servants carrying the coffin, she slowly raised her hand and put it on the lid of the coffin that had been nailed, and asked softly: "The lives of the two sons have been exchanged for two carts of gold and silver, do you think this transaction is worth it?" ”

Gan Ning's expression became very strange when the coffin was carried out, and as soon as Shen Xian said this, his face turned even darker; Although Zhang Xiu was not as exaggerated as Gan Ning, he felt embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so he could only bow his head and not say a word. Only Jia Xu did not move from beginning to end, maintaining just the right amount of regret and sadness on his face, so that the performance would not be too fake, nor would it make people feel disrespectful.

"How so." Jia Xu lowered his eyes and said, "These rewards are...... It is used to reward the loyal and brave. ”

"Majesty? It's okay, you don't have to be nervous. Shen Xian sneered, she withdrew the hand that was placed on the coffin, took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped her palm carefully, and began to pace around Jia Xu: "I still know which is more important, the dead and the living." ”

Jia Xu was noncommittal.

Shen Xian whispered again: "...... Whatever you think, maybe I'll have to thank you. ”

This time, Jia Xu finally glanced at Shen Xian, and saw Shen Xian staring at him with a smile, he hooked the corners of his lips and smiled a little bitterly: "I just said that the work of this decree is not so simple, how could Lord Yang suddenly show mercy and sell me a favor." ”

After receiving the order and receiving the reward, Chang'an City was not allowed to go in to have a look, so Shen Xian had to take the two coffins back to the house. She turned over and got on the horse, and smiled back at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, I'm waiting for you in Yizhou." ”

"You won't have to wait long." Jia Xu gave Shen Xian a look and watched her slowly move away.

After receiving the order, the two coffins were brought back, although they were the coffins of Shen Xian's brother, but they were not very lucky after all, so no one dared to speak on the way back, and even Gan Ning, who had always been chattering, closed his mouth. Shen Xian pondered for a long time, and after coming back to her senses, she suddenly felt that there was some quiet around her, and she glanced at Gan Ning strangely: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine." Gan Ning scratched his hair irritably: "It's you ......"

"I'm fine." Shen Xian was inexplicable: "Why do you look like you've been slapped in the face and crying?" ”

"It's not because of you!" Gan Ning pouted: "That...... Don't be too sad. ”

"Oh......" Shen Xian looked at Gan Ning who wanted to comfort her but couldn't speak, and then looked at the others, she finally felt the stagnation of the atmosphere in hindsight: "What do you think...... Am I sad? ”

Gan Ning didn't speak.

"If you have time to be sad, you might as well think about what to do." Shen Xian sighed: "Sending the coffin over with two carts of gold and silver should not be the meaning of His Majesty, it seems that Lu Feng did it first, but his slap in the face is really ruthless, if my father knows, I'm really afraid that he will be angry." ”

Gan Ningxin said that it can be pulled down! He said he was afraid, but he didn't mean to be afraid at all, but he still had a feeling of schadenfreude.

"So far, I have not dared to ask Mr. Gongqi to tell my father the news that my two brothers have died." Shen Xian said again: "I just don't know if others have said it." ”

Perhaps thinking of his uncle, who was uncertain about his life and death, Zhang Xiu, who had been silent all the way, suddenly asked: "Your brother died, why aren't you sad?" ”

Shen Xian thought to herself, of course, she wouldn't be sad, after all, she hadn't even seen these two "brothers" in person, so she really couldn't mention any uncomfortable feelings. But she can't say this, and if she says it, others think that her brother Ni Wall is not good-looking, and she has to pretend to be pretended. So Shen Xian glanced at Zhang Xiu in surprise and began to fool people: "How do you know that I'm not sad?" ”

"What is sadness? Can you express your sadness only by crying bitterly? Shen Xian looked up into the distance, she emptied her eyes: "Maybe I'm so sad that I can't even cry." ”

Gan Ning: "......" goosebumps rose.

But what shocked Gan Ning was that Zhang Xiu, Shen Xian's nonsense, actually believed it, believed it! He also nodded thoughtfully: "You're right, I'm sorry, I'm superficial. ”

Shen Xian smiled weakly: "It's nothing." ”

Gan Ning looked at Zhang Xiu's back with pity: Tsk, fool.

After learning that the coffins contained Shen Xian's two elder brothers, most of the Yizhou soldiers were worried that their boss should not be angry because of excessive sadness; A small number of smart people looked at the coffin and then looked at the two cars of dazzling gold, silver and jewelry, and understood that this was Lu Bu satirizing Yizhou's loss of troops and losing his troops.

Shen Xian really has no feelings for the two brothers who died, but this doesn't mean that she didn't get angry because of the coffin - after all, Lu Bu's action slapped the face of the whole Yizhou, and she is also one of the Yizhou. But Shen Xian still pretended not to care and accepted the reward and brought it back. People can't get along with money, why don't you give it for nothing? The field can be retrieved from other places.

In the evening, Shen Xian gathered everyone together for a meeting to discuss the future route.

Shen Xian announced: "I'm not going to fight Wuguan. ”

The others were not surprised by Shen Xian's blatant disobedience, because she looked like she hadn't finished her sentence.

Seeing that his subordinates were very calm, Shen Xian nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The news that Lu Fengxian was edicted to kill Dong Thief should have spread, Duan Zhongming and Guo Yaduo will not fight in Chang'an, and they can't go back to Xiliang, so there are only two choices left." ”

"Either take advantage of the fact that the imperial court has not yet sent troops to Hangu Pass to go to Bingzhou to occupy Ding Jianyang's old land, or go south to Jingyu Erzhou." Cai Yan looked at the large map spread out on the table and said softly.

"I guess they'll go here, but not to beat Liu Jingsheng." Shen Xian nodded at the location of Fancheng: "General Wentai is fighting Liu Jingsheng here, and Dong Thief's old department has always been jealous of him, they will probably send Liu Jingsheng a letter of peace to ask for an alliance, and then attack Sun Wentai back and forth." ”

"If Guo Yaduo really does this, we will go down the Han River in the name of serving the edict and thieves, and intercept them outside Fancheng, I want to see who is the praying mantis and who is the yellow finch."

Gan Ning stared at the map for a while, remembering what Shen Xian had told him about the plan to dominate the world, if he remembered correctly, Shen Xian originally wanted to occupy Jingyang Erzhou first?

"You want to fight Jingzhou? At this time? Gan Ning suddenly spoke.

"No, it's not." Shen Xian blinked innocently: "I'm just begging for a thief, who knows where I will chase it." ”

Gan Ning suddenly had a bad premonition, and sure enough, Shen Xian said with a smile in the next second: "But just in case, I also ask Xingba to go back to Jiangzhou and send troops from Kuimen to harass Nanjun for us." You don't have to lay much ground, you just need to defend the White Emperor City and turn around twice to disgust Liu Jingsheng. ”

Gan Ning still wanted to struggle: "Didn't Mr. Gongqi say that your sailors were all transferred to Jiamengguan?" ”

"Aren't there a thousand left? Coupled with the 5,000 people who were originally stationed in Kuimen, it is enough for you to wave. Shen Xian said casually: "You hold out for a few days, and when we take Fancheng, you can withdraw to White Emperor City." ”

"Oh yes, there is actually one more important thing for you to go back...... Shen Xian's expression suddenly became serious: "You want to find a way to bring Mrs. Qingxuan and Mr. Gongqi's younger brother out of Mianzhu." ”

Zhang Lu looked up at Shen Xian and Gan Ning suddenly.

Facing Zhang Lu's hopeful gaze, Gan Ning said that he was under a lot of pressure, and he complained to Shen Xian: "Do you think I am omnipotent? ”

Shen Xian was afraid to pat Gan Ning on the shoulder: "It's just stealing someone, I believe in you." ”

"Ahem." Xun You coughed, and said to Shen Xian expressionlessly: "Lord, that's not how you use stealing people. ”

As soon as the words came out, Shen Xian, who found that she had made a mistake, couldn't wait to cover Xun You's mouth and let him say less, in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Shen Xian quickly changed the topic: "Then it's decided?" Is there anything to add? ”

Xun Junshi Yu really did not disappoint, and blocked Shen Xian speechless with one sentence: "Lord, what you said is based on Guo Yaduo and their flight south. It is true that this is very likely, but there are two other possibilities that you have overlooked. ”

Xun You spread his palms: "What if they surrender to the imperial court?" What if they resist? ”

Shen Xian squatted in the corner with a depressed face and drew circles, Xun You looked at her complaining back, and asked Gan Ning helplessly: "Why is she so persistent in wanting to fight Jingzhou?" ”

So Gan Ning told Xun You and Cai Yan what Shen Xian had told him before. The two of them were quite surprised when they heard this, thinking about it, Shen Xian's idea was actually feasible, but because of Liu Yan's behavior of inserting a pole, she had missed the best opportunity to attack.

"Strategist, what do you think?" Gan Ning shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, I can't persuade her." ”

Xun Yu pondered for a moment and said: "My Jianyì doesn't do anything, I cultivate and recuperate first." Even if all the qiē develops according to the lord's ideas, at most after the battle of Fancheng, Yizhou will be almost consumed, and the people will not be able to live if they continue to fight. For the sake of long-term development, it is not advisable to use military aggression for at least the next year. ”

Gan Ning scratched his head: "Then you won't do anything this year?" ”

"Of course not." Cai Yan took Xun You's words with a smile: "Although you can't fight, there are many places where you can do it." For example, on the Xiliang side, the relationship between Ma Shoucheng and Han Wenyue is not as good as it seems on the surface, both of them are in charge, and there are always times when there is a conflict, they will provoke and use it, and there may be unexpected effects. ”

"It's also good to take Xiliang, have you seen how powerful Dong Zhongying's cavalry is?" Xun You said lightly: "On the plain, when facing the infantry, the cavalry has an absolute advantage. But Yizhou does not produce horses, and it is difficult to form a cavalry team, and if Xiliang is taken, this problem will be solved. ”

"Moreover, the terrain of Xiliang is flat, suitable for a large area of tuntian, and it can also solve the problem of difficulty in transporting grain and grass in the future to attack Sili and other areas, which greatly saves manpower, material and financial resources." Cai Yan said as she walked towards the corner where Shen Xian was, and she patted the top of Shen Xian's soft hair: "There are some things that can't be rushed, you have to take it step by step, and Xiaoxian, you really can't bear to see the people under your rule use their lives to support you in the war?" ”

Of course, Shen Xian couldn't bear it, God knows how much effort she had put into managing Mianzhu County in the first place, and sometimes she couldn't sleep all night, thinking about how to develop agriculture and commerce.

Cai Yan and Xun You sang and harmonized, and finally temporarily dispelled Shen Xian's idea of sending troops to Jingzhou, but Shen Xian still insisted on sending Gan Ning back to Mianzhu. Xun You also supported this, and he explained to Gan Ning: "Since we came to Hanzhong from Luoyang, we have not received a message from Liu Zhoumu for such a long time. I think things are a little strange, but the 10,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Jiameng Pass have not moved, so I don't know what the state pastor is planning. Before, I wanted to send someone back to investigate, but it was a big crime to flee the battlefield without permission, I was afraid that I would be detained by someone with a heart to calculate her in the future, just this time His Majesty sent the coffins of the two sons, Xingba, you will use the excuse to send the spirit back to Mianzhu to see the situation, and notify us in time if there is anything wrong. ”

"Remember to bring out Mrs. Qingxuan and Mr. Gongqi's younger brother, you must bring them out," Shen Xian said to Gan Ning seriously: "I have a bad premonition. The soldiers and horses in Hanzhong have been pulled into the battlefield, and my father has made it clear that he is weakening Mr. Gongqi's power, if it is just that, I am afraid that he will ......"

I am afraid that Liu Yan or Liu Zhang's head will be pumped and Mrs. Qingxuan and Zhang Lu's younger brother will be killed. The reason why the threat is called a threat is because this incident has not happened yet, but if Mrs. Qingxuan and Zhang Lu's younger brother really died in the hands of the Liu family's father and son, Zhang Lu has no scruples, and the matter is really powerless.

"You also pay attention to your own safety, if it weren't for the will of the imperial court that you can't disobey, you have to go to Wuguan to pretend, and I will go back to Mianzhu in person." Shen Xian thought about it, but still took out the official seal of the Guanghan County Guard and put it in Gan Ning's hand: "Take it, you can watch and use it if you need it, I believe you have a sense of proportion." ”

Gan Ning whistled at Tai Shouyin: "This is the biggest official seal I have ever taken." ”

Shen Xian waved her hand indifferently: "If you like it, I will give it to you in the future." ”

Gan Ning looked at Shen Xian meaningfully: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

Gan Ning embarked on the journey back to Mianzhu with Shen Xian's official seal, he took away the twenty strong guards under Shen Xian, Shen Xian was originally very reluctant, Gan Ning immediately pointed at Zhang Xiu and said: "You have your spear teacher to protect you, but I have nothing, do you want me to carry the two coffins back alone?" ”

Zhang Xiu: "......"

I didn't say a word, why did I lie down again? Hey, why do you say again?

Shen Xian looked at Zhang Xiu, then at the twenty men under his command, at Zhang Xiu, and then at the men.

Finally, Shen Xian waved her hand: "Okay, you can take them away." ”

Gan Ning, who had cheated Shen Xian, left happily.

After sending Gan Ning away, Shen Xian felt quite clean for the first two days, but then she felt bored - Cai Yan and Xun You partnered to correct official documents, and Shen Xian went to join in the excitement a few times, but each time she was blinded and fled in less than half a minute; went to find Zhang Lu, the two sat opposite each other and stayed silently for a long time, Zhang Lu began to tell Shen Xian about the Tao Te Ching, and Shen Xian was drowsy when he heard it; Follow Zhang Xiu to learn marksmanship, Zhang Xiu is indeed a good teacher, but he is even more boring than Zhang Lu, basically does not talk to Shen Xian, every time Shen Xian has to play the piano as a threat to hum twice, it is so angry that he wants to hit the wall.

So Shen Xian began to miss Gan Ning, who was nagging and worrying like an old mother when she had nothing to do.

However, Shen Xian didn't bother for long, and things changed-Niu Fu and others from Hanguguan abandoned the pass and fled before Huangfu Song's army approached, Niu Fu fled to Bingzhou alone with a few of his men, and Dong Yue and Fan Chou fled to Wuguan with almost 40,000 people. At this time, Shen Xian felt a lot more pressure, if she let Fan Chou and Dong Yue's 40,000 people converge with the 40,000 people guarding Wuguan, a total of 80,000 people, it would be too difficult for her to fight.

Fortunately, Shen Xian immediately learned the news that Cao Cao led his troops to chase after Dong Yue and Fan Chou and rushed to Wuguan, and Huangfu Song also came with the Imperial City Army to help, and finally even Ma Teng, who was nesting in Sanguan, ran over to join in the fun, and the soldiers and horses of the four roads gathered together 60,000 people, and it was not a problem to win with proper command.

Huangfu Song, who sent troops from Chang'an, unhurriedly stopped the army at Yaoguan to build fortifications before Dong Yue and Fan Chou fled into Wuguan. At the beginning, the first thing Dong Zhuo did after entering Chang'an was to occupy the four passes of Guanzhong to guard against the powerful of the four directions, but Dong Zhuo felt that the pass was surrounded by the four passes of Guanzhong, and there was no need to occupy it, so he did not take care of the pass. Later, Dong Zhuo died, and his subordinates were busy fighting for power and profit, and they couldn't take care of a small pass, but now they suffered a big loss, watching Huangfu Song push the battle line so close to Wuguan.

Shen Xian really didn't understand the thoughts of Dong Zhuo's subordinates, obviously everyone had male soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of Xiliang's soldiers and horses was recognized as powerful, if they united to counterattack Chang'an, there might not be no chance of turning the tables. But in fact, these people either abandoned the city and fled, or fought with each other to the death. For example, Niu Fu, he just saw some soldiers running away and felt that his army had changed, and immediately put on gold and silver jewelry and left the army with a dozen guards, Shen Xian could meet his end cliff because those gold and silver were killed by people - you must know that in this kind of troubled times, once people go crazy, they dare to do anything.

To be honest, Shen Xian especially suspected that these people were actually undercover agents of the imperial court and were deliberately sent to trap Dong Zhuo.

Two days later, Shen Xian arrived at Yaoguan to join Huangfu Song.

Shen Xian saw Jia Xu coming with the army in Huangfu Song's army, and he was followed by a small tail. It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, full of vitality chasing Jia Xu and talking excitedly, although Jia Xu still didn't wake up, but he answered the questions raised by the young man well, and would pull the young man's sleeve from time to time to stop him from running around.

Jia Xu yawned and looked around, and saw Shen Xian, who was standing not far away and staring at him with his arms in his arms. He raised his eyebrows, showed a sly smile at Shen Xian, raised his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, and whispered something in his ear.

Shen Xian didn't know why, and then she saw the young man rushing towards her with an excited face, and Jia Xu followed him slowly with a playful face.

Shen Xian: "......"

The young man rushed to a stop five steps in front of Shen Xian, he ran out of breath, lowered his head and pressed a hand on his chest to try to calm his rapid breathing. After a short rest, the young man came to his senses, he slowly raised his head, and his bright eyes were full of hope towards Shen Xian.

Shen Xian: "??? ”

Young man: "......"

The young man looked at it, and always felt as if something was wrong, and after his gaze swept over Shen Xian's slender neck, he had an epiphany: "Ah! You-"

Jia Xu happened to walk behind the young man at this time, and he reached out and covered the young man's mouth: "Meet again, Lord Liu." ”

"This is ......" Shen Xian looked at the young man whose cheeks were red covered by Jia Xu: "He is about to be suffocated to death by you." ”

"It's okay, children always like to talk nonsense," Jia Xu looked down at the young man meaningfully: "You will know what to say and what not to say after holding it twice." ”

"Woooooo The young man stared at Jia Xu and pointed to the sky and the earth, his hands waved around indiscriminately, and he almost knelt down and swore an oath, and after tossing for a long time, the whole person looked pitiful.

After a while, Jia Xu finally let go of the young man with great compassion, he looked at Shen Xian and introduced her: "This is Yang Dezu, the son of Yang Sikong's family, who admires you very much, has always aimed at you, and wants to see you." ”

Shen Xian, who became someone else's idol for the first time, was dumbfounded, she looked at the young man blankly: "What? ”

Yang Dezu? If memory serves...... This little brother is Yang Xiu?

Mom, it seems to be a little cute. Seeing that there were two completely different emotions in Yang Xiu's eyes, excitement and annoyance, intertwined, Shen Xian felt that this child was quite interesting.

"I ...... I'm Yang Xiu Yang Dezu, no matter what, I still think you're very powerful! Yang Xiu hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to say to Shen Xian: "But I will definitely surpass you in the future!" ”

Shen Xian smiled, she blinked: "Then you work hard." ”

Yang Xiu, who was encouraged by his idol, ran in circles excitedly. Shen Xian was confused by Yang Xiu's behavior, and she asked Jia Xu tactfully, "Did I say something wrong?" What the hell happened to him? I always felt like this kid was ...... Isn't that right? ”

Jia Xu replied calmly: "It's nothing." ”

It's true? Shen Xian was very suspicious of Jia Xu's words, but Jia Xu didn't look ready to say more, and Shen Xian couldn't help it.

In fact, Jia Xu was also very helpless, of course he couldn't say more, could he let him sue Shen Xian, the reason why Yang Xiu had a convulsion after seeing Shen Xian was because he found that the male god he worshiped had become a goddess, and he was so entangled that he didn't know what to do?
