"I've got to stop him."

As soon as Shen Xian's voice fell, the surroundings quieted down, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the three newcomers, were not very clear about the situation, although they felt that Shen Xian's words were a bit reckless, but they still wisely chose to be silent, and Xun You and Cai Yan glanced at each other, and they both saw the two big words "trouble" in each other's eyes.

Xun You once saw Shen Xian take Sun Ce to negotiate with them, the old ministers of Luoyang, and later listened to the soldiers in the army chatting about Shen Xian's encounter with Lu Bu and Sun Ce outside the city to save her single-handedly, this is not an ordinary friendship, not to mention that Sun Ce and Shen Xian later swore goodbye.

So it is unrealistic to let Shen Xian give up helping him when Sun Ce is in trouble, since he has such a lord, Xun You has to find a way to minimize the impact of this matter on Yizhou, fortunately, Shen Xian is to stop Sun Ce's siege in anger, not to support Sun Ce's revenge, she doesn't have to bring too many soldiers and horses.

There is also a very critical point: where did Sun Ce go after Sun Jian's death?

Although Sun Jian formed an alliance with Yuan Shu before his death, Yuan Shu was suspicious by nature, when Sun Jian was alive, he was afraid of others to withhold grain and grass at the critical moment of the war, as soon as Sun Jian died, Yuan Shu had no worries, who knows what he would do to Sun Ce. Although Sun Ce is not an arrogant master, he still has the pride he should have, let Yuan Shu bully him twice, maybe he will leave in anger.

It's easy to walk, but where to go is the problem. There are more than 10,000 people under Sun Jian's command, and there are many veteran generals who have followed him for several years, and those are all elites who fought on the battlefield! Sun Ce has such a large force, I am afraid that he will be afraid of wherever he goes. Either he builds his own turf - grain, grass and supplies are not easy to solve; Either he came to Shen Xian - everyone was happy.

Anyway, Xun You felt that Shen Xian would not care about Sun Ce, at least not now. It just so happens that the situation in Yizhou is very chaotic, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang don't know what big moves to make next, Shen Xian only relies on Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is still weaker, and Mrs. Qingxuan and Zhang Lu's younger brother have not been safely picked up for a day, and Zhang Lu's reliability has to be discounted. At this time, if Sun Ce came to defect, Shen Xian's power could grow a lot, and it would also be a deterrent to Zhang Lu.

After turning all kinds of thoughts in his mind, Xun You had already considered it, and in the face of Shen Xian's firm face, he said very simply: "How many people are you going to take away?" ”

Shen Xian was a little surprised that Xun You didn't stop herself, she pondered for a moment and said, "It's not too much, I'm here to persuade him not to send troops, and I'm not here to support him in fighting Xiangyang...... Give me five thousand. ”

This number is basically in line with Xun You's psychological expectations, and he looked at Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu frowned and thought for a while: "There are enough people, but there is ...... grain and grass."

"How long will it last?"

Shen Xian also knew that since she responded to the call of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to go to King Qinwang to fight Luoyang and then Chang'an, she tossed intermittently for more than a year, and most of the grain and grass during this period were provided by Hanzhong, and only a small amount was transported from other areas of Yizhou. It is a heavy burden for Hanzhong to supply more than 30,000 people with grain for a year, and it will not be long before Hanzhong collapses first.

"Two months." Zhang Luyan said: "Two months is the limit, the grain has just been planted for a long time, and we have to wait for July and August to harvest, and I don't know if I can harvest this year." ”

"Two months is two months." Shen Xian gritted her teeth and said, "Even if it's to knock him out...... I've got to stop him, too. ”

Xun You teased: "Maybe you don't have to do it, Sun Bofu will retire by himself?" ”

"How is that possible?" Shen Xian basked slightly: "It was his father who died...... You don't know how good the relationship between father and son is. ”

Not everyone is like her and Liu Yan.

After solving the problem of food, grass and people, there is only one of the most critical ......

"Which of you is going with me?" Shen Xian's eyes burned as she looked at several strategists.

Xun You couldn't cry or laugh, Shen Xian, what's wrong with this? Isn't it comfortable to go out without someone at hand? He said, "You're just going to pick up someone, why do you want us to follow?" ”

"What if something happens?" Shen Xian always didn't have a sense of security, and it was the same to stop Sun Ce this time: "I went to Jingzhou to make it clear that I wanted to go against Liu Jingsheng, what if he sent troops to fight me?" ”

"Sun Wentai's 10,000 people are not afraid of Fan Yiming and Liu Jingsheng, and if you have 8,000 more, will you be cowardly?" Xun You raised his eyebrows: "Let Weiyou take those three thousand cavalry with you, the name of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not for fun." ”

Zhang Xiu, who was named, said that he had no opinion.

Shen Xian stared at Xun Yu silently for a while, then turned her head to look at Cai Yan. Xun Youxin said it badly! Sure enough, Cai Yan was soft-hearted when Shen Xian saw it, she sighed and said, "I ......"

"I'll go." Cai Yan's words were interrupted, and Xun Youzheng was surprised who volunteered to accompany Shen Xian so much, and saw Guo Jia stand up with a smile: "But Lord Liu, I have one condition." ”

"Oh?" Shen Xian squinted her eyes at Guo Jia, and said in her heart that trouble was coming: "What conditions does Mr. have, you might as well talk about it, if I can afford it, I will definitely do it." ”

Guo Jia walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said slowly under the nervous or worried gaze of a group of people: "Actually, my requirements are not high, after all, life is short, and timely happiness is the right way, Lord Liu, I can do my best to help you calm the world and help the country, but I want you to give me the world's stunning beauty and jade dew elixir...... It's one of the few hobbies I have. ”

Guo Jia looked at Shen Xian with a smile.

After listening to Guo Jia's words, everyone was more or less surprised. Cai Yan covered his face with his sleeve and coughed; Zhang Xiu's eyes widened, and she looked like she wanted to give Guo Jia a good salute; Zhang Lu seemed to be thinking about how Guo Jia was so unreliable and got in; Even Xun You, who has always been calm, twitched at the corner of his mouth; Xun Yu's expression was miserable for a moment after Guo Jia finished speaking. Only Jia Xu, who didn't have to shout when the sky fell, still stood firmly with his arms and lowered his eyes.

Shen Xian didn't expect Guo Jia to say such a thing, but if you think about it carefully, this kind of prodigal son's general game is free, and the attitude of equating the world with beauty is very Guo Jia's style. But she wasn't sure if this was Guo Jia's casual remarks or serious, so after a short period of thought, Shen Xian asked, "I heard that Mr. Guo once stayed under Yuan Benchu for a period of time, so did you also say these words to him?" ”

"Yes." Guo Jia showed a regretful expression: "It's a pity that Yuan Gong just laughed out loud after hearing this, and didn't answer my words." ”

"That's it," Shen Xian smiled, and she nodded: "Okay." ”

"Exchange the beauty and wine for the peace of the world, even if I make this deal, Yuan Gong didn't promise you, probably because of his skills...... Didn't learn much, right? ”

After Shen Xian agreed to Guo Jia's request, his eyes lit up a lot, and his address to Shen Xian changed instantly: "The lord is really wise." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Shen Xian waved her hand: "Then arrange it like this, I will take Fengxiao and Weiyou to Xiangyang, and Zhaoji, Gongda, Wenruo and Wenhe will stay to help Mr. Gongqi——"

"Wait." Xun You interrupted Shen Xian's words expressionlessly: "I'll go to Xiangyang with you." ”

Xun You felt that he was so sweet, and he was worried that Shen Xian and Guo Jia would not get along well, but in a blink of an eye, these two hooked up together! Shen Xian, who was originally unreliable, is now equipped with an even more unreliable Guo Jia, and let the two of them run out with their troops, who knows what kind of disaster will happen! Just one Zhang Xiu can't suppress these two people at all, okay? And he seemed to appreciate Guo Jia very much just now! It's hard to figure out that the last three wolves are treacherous, and he still has to clean up the mess that comes out.

Shen Xian thinks that Xun You's behavior is very naïve, obviously he didn't go to live or die just now, but now someone volunteered and he ran out to join in the fun, just like he was afraid that his parents would spoil other children and snub himself. So Shen Xian patted Xun You's shoulder and comforted him: "Gongda, don't you want to go?" Then you can stay in Hanzhong, I'm just going to pick up someone, what do you want so many strategists to do? It's not good to avoid labor, I'll give you a holiday when I come back! ”

Who doesn't want you to take a holiday! You are also the one who works on vacation, okay? Xun You almost wanted to roar, but fortunately, Zhang Lu opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "Mr. Gongda should stay, Jia Mengguan has been moving recently, I'm afraid it's Mianzhu's side......"

Shen Xian's attention was immediately attracted: "What's wrong with Jia Mengguan?" Speaking of which, Xingba has not had any news since he first arrived in Mianzhu to send a letter to report his safety, could it be that he had an accident in Mianzhu? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Lu's face instantly became a lot gloomy: "There are signs of troop transfer, but I don't know whether to withdraw or what." ”

"Speaking of this ......" Cai Yan suddenly spoke, she pursed her lips and hesitated: "I haven't heard from my father for a long time." ”

Since Cai Yong settled in Jiangzhou, he would send a letter to Cai Yan every once in a while to tell him about his parents. But since Cai Yan followed Shen Xian to fight Wuguan, she never received Cai Yong's letter, and at first thought that it was just because the letter could not be delivered to the front line, and when she returned to Hanzhong, she learned that she had not received a letter here, and the problem became delicate in an instant.

"Mianzhu's side...... Is it really okay? "So many abnormal things add up to Shen Xian can't help but pay no attention to it, Guanghan County is her base camp, most of her subordinates and her foundation are there, in case something happens, Shen Xian can't afford to pay for it.

"It's okay for the time being, who knows later?" Xun You sneered: "Anyway, you go and deal with Sun Bofu first, otherwise it will be more troublesome to take care of both ends." ”

It can only be like this, at least the matter of Mianzhu has not reached Shen Xian's side, even if there is anything, she doesn't have to worry if she doesn't know.

So Shen Xian, who didn't stop for long, set off with her subordinates again, and before leaving, she solemnly entrusted all the reasons in Hanzhong to Xun You and Xun Yu. Jia Xu...... Anyway, this person generally doesn't speak, only speaks when he wants to speak, and his sense of storage is usually low to burst, so he doesn't have to worry about Shen Xian at all. As for Cai Yan, because she was too worried about her father's affairs, she didn't have the heart to do anything else in the past two days, so Shen Xian simply gave her a vacation and let her have a good time.

This time, Shen Xian and the others took a boat directly from Hanshui to Jingzhou, and the time on the road was shorter than riding a horse. The only thing that is not beautiful is that the weather is a little gloomy when it is close to the age of the house, and after entering Jingzhou, it is raining heavily every day, and the boat flickers on the water, which makes Shen Xian dizzy and begins to doubt life.

Shen Xian was okay, at least she was back to life after walking around the deck for a while every day. But Guo Jia and Zhang Xiu began to get seasick.

The two of them are dizzy, and they are so strict that they can only rest in bed every day. Guo Jia was still pale and began to vomit all the time, and he couldn't even eat a little food.

Seeing the two eight-foot-tall men nesting on the bed with depressed expressions, Shen Xian was distressed, she went to see a doctor for the two of them to take the pulse, Zhang Xiu is an ordinary seasickness, just prick two sharp needles to dispel the debuff, but Guo Jia ......

"Mr. Guo, it's a miracle that you're still alive." Shen Xian looked at Guo Jia with the eyes of a divine beast.

"Thank you for the compliment, I was born in poor health, I have some chronic diseases, it's not a big deal." Guo Jia shrank in the corner of the bed with a quilt, and smiled weakly when he heard the words: "It would be better if the lord could keep me from seasickness......"

Shen Xian's gaze moved from Guo Jia's face to the wine jar in the corner of the bed. Guo Jia followed her gaze and looked over: "Oh, it's dizzy anyway, it's better to ......"

"Confiscation." Shen Xian said dryly, very ruthless.

Guo Jia's expression froze: "...... Your lord, you promised me—"

"In order to make you drink more wine and see more beauties in the future, I decided not to touch either of these two things until you are completely well." Shen Xian said casually, she slowly clasped Guo Jia's wrist, obviously she didn't use much strength, but it made people feel a trace of undoubted meaning. As soon as Guo Jia wanted to fight and refute, he felt that a warm and soft breath slowly spread around his body along the beating of his pulse, and with the advancement of that breath, Guo Jia's stiff and sour limbs were as comfortable as the long-blocked river channel had been dredged and refilled into the water, and the drowsiness in his brain was swept away, and even the seasickness was relieved to a certain extent.

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows: "This is ......"

"Try to help you dredge the meridians, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, or you have to treat it well, now there is no condition, let's go back and talk about it." Shen Xian said lightly: "I can prick you with a needle, but the prescription can only be prescribed by Sister Zhaoji...... Tsk,I should have asked her to show you before I came out.,Why didn't you forget jì.。 ”

Shen Xian said as she put on a regretful expression.

"Why are you embarrassed to trouble Miss Zhaohime." Guo Jia was very glad that he ran fast: "This is already very good. ”

"Don't bother, I can cure him, let alone you." Shen Xian smiled slightly, and her smile always made Guo Jia feel creepy: "Don't worry, I'm a personal disciple of the divine doctor Hua Yuanhua, and I can't still ask the master for help." ”

Looking at Guo Jia's increasingly stiff face, Shen Xian deliberately said, "Or do you say sir...... Afraid of taking medicine? It's bitter, why don't I buy you some sugar? ”

"How is that possible?" Guo Jia's face turned completely dark: "The lord is too worried." ”

"That's good. Sir, have a good rest, I won't bother...... Oh, that's right," Shen Xian clapped her hands and stood up, and fished out the wine jar that Guo Jia threw at the head of the bed and hidden under the bed one by one: "I'll take this away first, during the treatment, you are not allowed to drink, drink porridge." ”

Guo Jia: ...... Don't give me back my life!

After Shen Xian left, Guo Jia lay on the bed expressionlessly for a long time, and he slowly raised his hand to rub his aching temples.

Tut...... If he was really seasick and dizzy, he would be bullied by a little girl, and even snatched away the wine.

Sniffing the residual smell of wine in the air, Guo Jia was a little irritated and covered the quilt into a ball.

When the ship finally stopped at Zhonglu Port, Guo Jia and Zhang Xiu, who had re-stepped on the solid ground, felt as if they had been reborn, and the three thousand Xiliang men under Zhang Xiu were even more exaggerated.

Zhang Xiu felt a little embarrassed, so she stopped the convulsions of the Xiliang men, Shen Xian waved her hand and teased: "You guys can't do this, it's just that you are dizzy like this when you take a boat, what can you do in the future to fight a water war?" ”

"Still going to fight a water war?" A Xiliang man wailed when he heard this: "Lord, in this land in the north, where you say we will fight, where you point we will beat, and the iron hooves rumble over!" But the South will let us go! ”

"No, how can I give up if you're so good?" Shen Xian smiled and said: "After you go back, you will all go to Jiangzhou with Xingba to train the troops, and you will get used to it after two or three months on the boat." ”

The Xiliang man suddenly had nothing to love.

As soon as I entered Jingzhou, it began to rain, and now the surroundings were even hazy, Shen Xian led 5,000 people to struggle on the muddy path, if it weren't for the guide recommended by Zhang Lu who was familiar with Jingyi and Jingyi, it is estimated that they would have been lost.

Shen Xian swung her sword to cut off the branches that were blocking the way in front of her, and asked the guide, "How long will it take to get to Xiangyang City?" ”

"This ......" The guide wiped the rain from his face, a little embarrassed: "When the weather is fine, you can only ride a horse for half a day, but now in this weather, it is possible to walk for as long as you want." Don't hide it from adults, if it weren't for the requirements of the junshi, the small ones wouldn't come, basically no one went to Jingzhou from Hanzhong this season, the road was too difficult to walk, and it was easy to have accidents. ”

"Don't worry, you find the right way, let's go slowly." When she got here, Shen Xian calmed down, she thought about it, and patted the eagle who had been squatting on her shoulder to avoid the rain: "Can you go to my brother to report a letter?" Or help me find out where he's camped now? ”

The eagle stared at Shen Xian with round eyes for a while, then suddenly spread its wings and flew into the sky, it circled a few times and then lowered its altitude, circling to lead the way. Shen Xian whispered, "Follow it." ”

The gloomy rainy day made Shen Xian lose even the ability to tell the time, I don't know how long it took, she grabbed Guo Jia who was almost fallen next to her, pulled the damp cloak and barely wrapped it around him, wondering if she should stop first and find a place to rest for a while. At this moment, Shen Xian heard a voice from the front: "...... That's Childe's eagle! ”

Shen Xian's spirit was shocked, she looked fixedly, and several soldiers in robes came out of the path, led by a bow and arrow, and the whole person was stunned when she saw Shen Xian: "Lord Liu?!" ”

"Uncle Han?!"

The person who came was Han Dang, the general under Sun Jian's account.

"I didn't expect you to come in person, Lord Liu......" Han Dang took Shen Xian and his party to the direction where they camped: "It's okay to come, persuade Gongzi, the soldiers have no intention of fighting again, but Gongzi ...... him"

Han Dang sighed, with an indescribable look of exhaustion on his face. The commander died in battle, morale was low, Sun Ce avenged his father and wanted to attack under the impossibility of winning, and the people in the army had long been fluctuating, and there had been no uproar so far, but a few veterans were struggling to suppress it, but it was difficult to hold on for long.

"I know, I'm here to persuade him to quit." Shen Xian pursed her lips: "Now is not a good time to attack the city, there is no need to do unnecessary consumption, it is better to rectify the soldiers and horses and fight again in the coming year." It's just that my brother doesn't listen to me. ”

"Alas, to be honest, if Gongzi doesn't retreat, we can only knock him out and take him away." Han Dang let out a long sigh: "He's still young after all." ”

Next, Shen Xian chatted casually with Han Dang, and learned that Sun Ce's situation in the army was quite difficult at this time, not to mention the low morale, many soldiers were sick due to heavy rain for days, and there was a faint trend of plague spreading in the army, plus Yuan Shu had never sent them grain and grass since Sun Jian's death...... In short, it is to add insult to injury.

knew that Yuan Shu might just want to force Sun Ce to withdraw from the army, but at this time, the behavior of cutting off people's food and grass was really hateful.

After walking for a while, the group finally arrived at Sun Ce's camp. Shen Xian looked at the hazy fortress hidden in the rain, and her expression was a little dazed. Before she entered the camp, she could sense that there was a sad aura spreading everywhere here, and the soldiers on patrol all had listless expressions on their faces, seeing Shen Xian and their arrival, these soldiers only raised their eyes slightly, and after communicating with Han Dang, they no longer cared about anything else.

Shen Xian looked at Guo Jia, who was almost unconscious in her arms, and asked Han Dang for a clean place to place this person first.

The others are strong and strong, and Guo Jia's thin little body almost didn't kill him half his life when he walked all the way. Shen Xian now regrets bringing Guo Jia over, knowing that this person is not in good health, but she still let him toss around.

After asking Zhang Xiu to help Guo Jia change his clothes, Shen Xian boiled a bowl of hot ginger soup for Guo Jia to pour hard, and gave him a few mouthfuls of milk with Taisu Nine Needles, and finally saw that this person's face was bloody. Then Shen Xian prescribed a prescription to ward off the cold and ordered her subordinates to boil up more, so that the soldiers of the whole battalion would come to drink the medicine, and those who were sick could be cured and not sick to defend themselves, as for those who were already sick with wind and cold and were sick in bed, wait for her to take a closer look later.

After tossing for a long time, Guo Jia finally fell asleep quietly, Shen Xian tucked the quilt corner for him, and suddenly realized a little bit of Boss Cao's mood when he looked at Xi Zhicai. At this time, there was a commotion outside the tent, Shen Xian stood up and picked up an umbrella and walked out to see the situation, as soon as she opened the tent door, she saw a figure standing in the rain and looking at herself.

That's Sun Ce. His spirit was very poor, the two big black circles on his face were comparable to pandas, the corners of his mouth were drooping, and the breath of the whole person became very sluggish, Shen Xian couldn't believe that this was the same person as the high-spirited silver-armored young general she saw under Wancheng City.

Shen Xian took two steps forward, and she suddenly didn't know what to say: "Brother, you-"

Sun Ce ran, he rushed to Shen Xian's side and paused, and said in a hoarse voice, "Shang Yu." ”

The two of them stood in the rain and stared at each other for a long time, and as soon as Shen Xian wanted to say something to break the suffocating silence, she felt a sinking on her shoulders.

Sun Ce took a small step forward, and with one hand he held the silver spear that had lost its luster, and bent down to rest his head on Shen Xian's shoulder.

Shen Xian was hit by him and almost fell over, she barely stabilized her figure, standing stiff and not daring to move, Sun Ce almost pressed the weight of his whole body on her shoulders, and that desperate and sad aura, like a tidal wave, swept towards Shen Xian surging over.

Shen Xian gritted her teeth and raised her hand to clasp Sun Ce's back armor. The tentacles were damp and sticky and cold, and Shen Xian could clearly feel the knife marks engraved on the armor, how long did it take to be killed in the bloody rain to leave such a deep mark?

Sun Ce leaned on Shen Xian without saying a word, since Sun Jian's death, he had persevered for so many days in front of his father's subordinates and in front of his soldiers, he couldn't have the slightest retreat and hesitation, he couldn't even show the grief and pain of losing his relatives too obviously, because he was not alone, there were so many soldiers and generals looking at him, only if he held it up first, could he turn the tide when the building was about to fall, and keep his father's life's hard work and foundation.

While everyone was amazed at Sun Ce's bravery and fearlessness, they forgot that he was just a nineteen-year-old kid at all.

"It's all right, brother." Shen Xian tentatively patted Sun Ce's back: "It's okay......"

"It's over."
