Shen Xian felt a little uncomfortable, she wanted to find a place to be quiet for a while.

I have long known that even if a person like Xun You, who is born in a family and has a good reputation, has been pulled into his camp, there will still be others secretly staring, ready to dig the foot of the wall at the first opportunity. Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to swing a hoe, and there is no loss if you can't dig people away, in case you can dig it up, you will make a lot of money.

But after this situation really happened, even if Shen Xian had been mentally prepared, she still felt congested, especially when it was Cao Cao's subordinate Xi Zhicai who dug the foot of the wall, and Shen Xian was still helping him treat him under Cao Cao's request.

There is a feeling of "betrayal" somewhat.

It's understandable that people do anything inexplicable when they are angry or sad, but the act of throwing the official seal directly to someone else and then running away by themselves...... Sure enough, it's still a bit silly.

What to do! Gongda and Akihime must think I'm sick!

So when Zhao Yun passed by, he saw Shen Xian holding her head and squatting under the wall in distress and pulling her hair, with a painful look on her face. Zhao Yun: "......" seems to have seen something that shouldn't be seen, should I leave directly?

"Huh? Zilong. As soon as Shen Xian looked up, she saw Zhao Yun looking at her expressionlessly, her face turned red, she stood up abruptly, straightened her waist, and quickly adjusted her expression to a normal state, which was as fast as a Sichuan opera face. If it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of tiny folds on the hem of her clothes, and her expression was a little haggard, Zhao Yun even felt that the scene of Shen Xian pulling her hair just now was his hallucination.

Raising her face to look at Zhao Yun, who was nearly a head taller than herself, Shen Xian clumsily changed the topic: "Where is Zilong going?" ”

"I'm going to bid farewell to Cao Gong." Zhao Yun said lightly: "The war has subsided, and the lord has recruited me back." ”

"That's ......" Shen Xian was a little regretful, because she had just brushed her face in front of Zhao Yun, and before she had time to use her mouth to poach people away, Zhao Yun was about to leave here. Maybe if we meet again in a few years, he has already become someone else's subordinate.

"Stay safe on the road." Shen Xian said goodbye to Zhao Yun: "I don't know which way Zilong is going to go back?" ”

"Take the waterway from Guandu to Jizhou," Zhao Yun replied, "The Lord is there to fight Yuan Benchu. ”

Shen Xian remembered that Xun Yu had mentioned the beginning and end of this matter in the news from other parties that Xun You had compiled for her that needed attention.

Just when Shen Xian, Cao Cao and Ma Teng were fighting with Dong Zhuo in Sili, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou ran across the state to attack Bohai County, and Yuan Shao, who learned the news, was fooling Han Fu to hand over Jizhou, and he couldn't spare his hands to fight the enemy, so he asked Gongsun Chan to send troops to suppress the Yellow Turban thieves, and Gongsun Chan agreed.

Gongsun Chan had a head-to-head confrontation with the Yellow Turban Thieves in Dongguang, and defeated more than 100,000 Yellow Turban Thieves with stratagems, killing countless enemies, and shocking Jizhou. After winning a victory, Gongsun Zhan continued to pursue the scattered and fleeing enemies, but unexpectedly heard the news that Yuan Shao had successfully fooled Jizhou.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan was furious—although Shen Xian didn't know why he was angry—he counted the top ten crimes and scolded Yuan Shao for a bloody head. Yuan Shao was a little afraid of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, so he rarely gave up the position of Bohai Taishou to Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan, temporarily calming Gongsun Zhan's anger.

Then it didn't last long, and the two families broke out again. The reason this time was that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao jointly attacked Sun Jian, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to fight Liu Biao, and it happened that Gongsun Zhan's cousin Gongsun Yue had not come back to find Yuan Shu to form an alliance before, so Yuan Shu sent him to help Sun Jian.

Gongsun Yue was not very lucky, and he was killed by a stray arrow not long after he went to the battlefield. Gongsun Zhan, who learned of his brother's death, exploded in an instant like a lit powder keg this time, and he not only scolded Yuan Shao for ten counts, but also simply turned around and called all the way from Qingzhou to Jizhou, and collected a few yellow turban thieves along the way.

At this time, Yuan Shao didn't really want to fight Gongsun Zhan, so he sent Gongsun Fan to Gongsun Chan to explain the situation, but Gongsun Fan, the brother control, turned around and betrayed Yuan Shao, and took Bohai's soldiers and horses to help his brother.

Yuan Shao almost didn't have a mouthful of old blood spurting out, this time he had to take the soldiers and horses into battle in person, and drove towards the boundary bridge of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers.

After reading the information written by Xun You, Shen Xian only felt that this was simply a good show with ups and downs. I didn't expect Yuan Shao to have such a sweet time, Gongsun Zhan made it clear that he wanted to fight, he didn't take Gongsun Fan as a hostage, and even sent all the people and troops to the opposite camp.

"That's right." Shen Xian sighed casually, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she blurted out: "Zilong, in fact, I have something I want to ask you." ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Xian regretted it, because she didn't know Zhao Yun very well, and it was not good to trouble others so rashly. But Zhao Yun said very gently, let Shen Xian talk about it.

Shen Xian told Zhao Yun the news that Xun Yu's family had moved to Yizhou, and she sighed: "It's time to calculate the time, it's not very peaceful on the way, there are often uprisings and rebels in Hanoi, and there are more than 100 people in the Xun family, plus a large number of tenants and servants, so there must be 10,000 people who drag the family." Xingba is not here, Mr. Gongqi and Youwei are going to sit in Hanzhong, so I plan to go directly from here to pick them up outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and I don't have to make another trip. Don't know when you're leaving? How about we travel together? ”

After many baptisms of encirclement and suppression, the rebels who remained were not the rabble composed of mostly poor people that Shen Xian pacified in Yizhou at the beginning, and they could surrender with any scare and scare. The current uprising army can be regarded as an "army" with a certain organization and discipline, such as the Black Mountain Army and the White Polish Army, Dong Zhuo also sent people to encircle and suppress them, but unfortunately they were defeated and returned.

Although Shen Xian was not afraid of encountering these rebel armies, the lack of a general around her who could send troops made her feel a little square. If Zhao Yun can go with her, then the combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly improved, and the safety will be more guaranteed.

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, if he could go with Shen Xian, it would be good for him. Zhao Yun only has three hundred white horses around him, and it will be a trouble if he encounters a righteous army.

Since both sides are happy to see it, the matter is settled, and Shen Xian will take someone on the road with Zhao Yun early tomorrow morning.

After solving the problem of the Xun family, Shen Xian felt that she had a reason to talk to Xun You. She staggered back to the camp, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a lot of people running around and not knowing what they were doing.

Shen Xian grabbed one casually and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Childe!" When the general saw Shen Xian, he immediately stood up and bowed: "That's the case, Mr. Xun used the soldier talisman of the state pastor to transfer a thousand people out, and said that he would go with him to pick up people outside the Tiger Prison Pass tomorrow." ”

Shen Xian: "......"

Seeing that Shen Xian was expressionless and didn't speak, General Pi thought he was angry, and hurriedly put on a look of sincere fear: "Childe, could it be that Mr. Xun is private-"

"It's not." Shen Xian lightly interrupted the general's words: "You can listen to what he says." ”

Although the general was confused, he still resolutely carried out the order: "Yes, the subordinates remember!" ”

After sending Xun You away, Shen Xian continued to walk forward seriously, and it was not until she returned to her empty tent and closed the door tightly that her face showed a slightly smug and a little embarrassed.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......" Shen Xian laughed and threw herself on the bed: "Hahahaha!" ”

Shen Xian laughed and hung the bed.

Xun You's purpose in transferring troops was nothing more than to go to pick up the Xun family outside the Tiger Prison Pass, which he thought of with Shen Xian.

What made Shen Xian happy was that Xun You would use that state pastoral seal, which showed that Xun You really regarded her as his own.

The literati of this era still have a sincere heart, except for a few wall grass that sees the wind and rudder, most of the noble people pay attention to the end, once they find the person they believe to assist, whether he is rich or poor, proud or frustrated, whether he is in a high position or hidden in the market, he will follow him all the way to the end, even if this road is difficult, he will never abandon it, no matter how tempted by others will never waver, unless the person dies first, it is possible to change the lord.

Xun You is this kind of person with high moral character. Therefore, Shen Xian never worried that Xun You would stab her in the back, even if he stuffed thousands of high-ranking officials in front of him, what should Xun You do. Shen Xian's only worry was that after a period of observation, Xun You suddenly found that she was not a suitable assistant, or that the mess in Yizhou made Xun You feel very troublesome, and then he would leave a letter and leave, looking for the lord who was really suitable for him.

It's not easy to find a strategist these days!

Speaking of which, Shen Xian still wonders why Xun You chose to follow her.

On that day, the princes of the Eighteen Roads in Luoyang City, so many famous celebrities and generals gathered together, and everyone's resume was shining enough to attract hatred. Although Shen Xian became a county guard at a young age, and he is also a promising lord in Yizhou, it is not enough to put it here.

With Xun You's conditions, he could have chosen at will, but he waited for Shen Xian in the camp tent for an afternoon. If it weren't for Xun You's daily life of abusing a single dog to death with Cai Yanxiu's affection, Shen Xian would almost think that Xun You liked her.

Hey, people always have a time of narcissism.

Wait, Shen Xian suddenly thought of a key thing: wouldn't Xun You also find out that she was a girl?

The more Shen Xian thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was possible. For example, Shen Xian has never deliberately concealed her gender, and wears men's clothes just to conform to the character of "Liu Xian", which is convenient for action, and people with a heart will always find some clues; For example, Shen Xian has had quite intimate contact with Cai Yan several times - for example, just now, Cai Yan simply grabbed her waist and dragged her into the house in order to prevent Shen Xian from settling accounts with her. If Xun You didn't know that Shen Xian was a girl, he would definitely be jealous! But at least before Shen Xian left, Xun You's expression was very normal, and he didn't feel angry at all.

So the question is, what would you do if you suddenly found out that your father-in-law was a sister one day?

Also, if Xun You can find out, what about Zhang Lu, Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu? There are also Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Cao Cao, Xiahoudun, Zhao Yun...... It's scary to think about it!

Falling off the horse in front of so many people, Shen Xian said that she was a little square.

It's not that Shen Xian is arrogant, but this era is really not very friendly to women, a woman with a good family background like Cai Yan will be disliked by her unreasonable mother-in-law after her husband's death, not to mention Shen Xian's consistent deviant ......

Only people like Gan Ning who are as deviant as Gan Ning don't care.

Hum! Whatever!

The confusion was only a moment's work, and Shen Xian's heart quickly regained her firmness, she bounced up from the bed, rubbed her face vigorously, and drove all kinds of messy thoughts out of her mind.

What about women? What about gossip? She came to this strange and troubled world alone, from the beginning of walking on thin ice to the current small success, every step is very difficult, and every victory is not easy to come by. Shen Xian didn't lose heart when she couldn't even command 300 people before, could it be that now that she was sitting on 30,000 soldiers and horses and was about to point to the world, but she retreated?

So Shen Xian couldn't give up. One day she would stand in a position for everyone to look up to, and at that time she would love to see if other people dared to speak ill of others.

Shen Xian, who felt that her whole person had been reborn (and didn't), first wrote a short letter, and then she sealed the letter in a bamboo tube and put it in her sleeve. After doing this, Shen Xian set out to find Xun You to talk about picking up people. Shen Xian felt that in order to show her attention, it was better for her to go in person this time. It is impossible to overemphasize how to respect a rare talent like Xun Yu, let alone lead troops to pick up people to ensure safety, even if Xun Yu asks to carry him over with eight sedan chairs, Shen Xian can immediately turn around and go back to Hanzhong to order someone to make a sedan chair to come out. Uncle Liu Huang asked Zhuge Liang to take care of the thatched house, Xun Yu was called over by Xun Yu in a letter, and this treatment was already very wronged by him.

When Shen Xian found Xun You, he was correcting the text with Cai Yan - Shen Xian saw Xun You eight times out of ten times, he was correcting the text, and he was really distressed.

"Ahem, Gongda." Shen Xian coughed and tried to get Xun You's attention: "There is something to discuss with you." ”

Xun You said lightly: "My lord, please speak." ”

Xun You said as he pushed Wen Jiàn to Cai Yan, Cai Yan put it away and stood up and walked out, Shen Xian just wanted to say Sister Zhaoji, you don't have to leave, but saw Cai Yan make a reassuring gesture to her. Immediately, Shen Xian understood that Cai Yan wanted to give the two of them a chance to explain things clearly, after all, the word suspicion was the most taboo between the lord and the minister.

"You go back to Xieyuguan with Zhaoji tomorrow, and I will go to Hanoi to pick up your family." Shen Xian didn't do any foreshadowing, and said straight to the point: "I have made an appointment with Zilong recently, he wants to go back to Jizhou to help Gongsun Boqi beat Yuan Benchu, just by the way, we will take a ride together, and also guard against the Black Mountain Army and the White Bo Army over there." ”

After Shen Xian finished speaking, Xun You didn't say anything, he just looked at her indifferently, making Shen Xian square up again.

…… What does this mean? Didn't you say that if you received my seal, you would be my person? Swindler!

Shen Xian also stared at Xun You silently, and the two looked at each other for a long time, Xun You suddenly stood up and gave her a deep look.

There was a buzzing sound in her brain, Shen Xian was stunned, she stared blankly at what Xun You said to her after finishing her speech, although the words were close and far, and mixed with buzzing noises, Shen Xian could clearly capture every word.

Xun You said: "Thank you for the love, life-saving grace, trust, and righteousness of mutual protection, which are unforgettable." ”

Xun You said: "Please rest assured, I have already rejected Zhicai's words on the spot." ”

Xun You said: "Although the lord you are too slow to react, people are a little stupid, and sometimes you are always stubborn, but after all, there is still salvation, please don't be presumptuous." ”

Hey, hey, hey, why is the last sentence different in style? Got the wrong script? Or is that what you really want to say!

A large pile of grooves piled up in Shen Xian's mouth, but she couldn't spit out a word. At this time, there was only one feeling left in Shen Xian's mind: really, explain it, explain it, why is it so touching.

Shen Xian took a few deep breaths and quickly changed the topic: "Okay, then it's decided, you go back tomorrow, and I'll pick up someone." ”

"Wait, let Zhao Ji go back, I'll pick you up." Xun You glanced at Shen Xian deeply: "The little uncle was recommended by me in a letter, how can I not come forward?" ”

Shen Xian thought about it, a light bulb suddenly lit up in her mind, and she said happily: "But in this way, I can only let Zhao Ji herself return to Xieyu Pass with 10,000 horses." ”

"Aren't you worried about her?"

Xun You: "......"

The next day, Shen Xian was waiting for Zhao Yun on a horse with a spring breeze, and beside her were Xun You and Cai Yan on the left and right, Xun You was expressionless, Cai Yan was smiling, and the two of them were like black and white.

Zhao Yun caught a glimpse of this strange scene and ignored Cai Yan and Xun You, only nodded to them, and then turned to Shen Xian and greeted, "Lord Liu, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"Soon, soon." Shen Xian waved her hand: "Let's go." ”

"Let's go back." Cai Yan leaned back, her gaze crossed Shen Xian and fell on Xun You's body, and she said in a gentle voice: "I will convey your meaning to Wen Ruo." ”

Xun You looked straight ahead without moving: "I thank you." ”

I don't know if it's Shen Xian's illusion, she always feels that Xun You's words seem to be gritting her teeth.

This is the result of Xun You's compromise yesterday. In this expedition to Wuguan, due to the lack of manpower, coupled with Jia Xu's calculations, Shen Xian left Zhang Xiu with Zhang Lu to help, she only brought Xun You and Cai Yan two strategists to come over, and she served as a military general.

Shen Xian has two things to do, one is to pick up people, and the other is to go home from the camp, these two things are carried out at the same time, and there must be a steward on both sides. Originally, Shen Xian meant that she would pick up the Xun family by herself and let Xun You and Cai Yan return with a large army. But Xun You was very skeptical that Shen Xian would suffer after meeting his little uncle - even if his little uncle was embarrassed to do something, there was someone who was different.

In case Shen Xian is bullied and confused at that time, the director Xun Yu and Guo Jia's impression of her deteriorates, and then rolls up and leaves, Xun You is really going to cry to death. Although Xun You said to Xi Zhicai that he was welcome to poach, but that was just his excuse, Xun You's fundamental purpose in calling Xun Yu was to let him share the official duties of Yizhou, which was piled up in a raged mess of Yizhou, he would never let Xun Yu have a chance to leave, if Xun Yu left, where would he fool into a job?

As for whether Guo Jia can leave or not, what does it have to do with him.

Xun You and Shen Xian insisted on their own ideas, and in the end, Xun You gritted his teeth and proposed a compromise solution, letting Cai Yan follow Shen Xian to pick up Xun's family, and he himself sent the army back to Xieyu Pass.

Of course, Shen Xian has no opinion on this, but she likes to stay with Cai Yan very much.

Xun You watched the hundreds of soldiers led by Shen Xian, Cai Yan and Zhao Yun ride away from Wuguan, and the dust raised by the wind and sand blinded his eyes. Xun You rubbed it for a long time, and when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he saw that the desolate and vast sky seemed to be filled with layers of thin tents composed of sand.

"Let's go."

After Xun You gave the order lightly, he turned the reins and led the army in the opposite direction. The army of 10,000 men was silent except for the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps on the ground. Huangfu Song overlooked Xun Yu from the city tower and gradually walked away, and he said to Jia Xu beside him without raising his head: "Xun Gongda has great talents, Liu Shangyu has enough for him." ”

Jia Xu didn't say anything on his face, he followed Huangfu Song's words and praised Xun You: "The Yingchuan Xun family is a famous family, and there are indeed many talents. ”

Huangfu Song was slightly sunny, noncommittal.

While Huangfu Song was not paying attention, Jia Xu's wide sleeved robe was gently folded, covering the corner of the bamboo tube exposed in his hand.

After walking a long way and making sure that Huangfu Song, who was watching from the city tower, could not see his movements, Xun You took out the water bladder and rinsed his mouth with a mouthful of water.

Damn the gale, Lao Tzu just opened his mouth and said a word, and ate a mouth full of sand, bah blah!

When Xun You was eating sand in the galeforce in Guanzhong, Sun Ce was being ruthlessly washed away by heavy rain outside Xiangyang in Jingzhou.

A few days ago, Sun Jian had just defeated Huang Zu, and the army took the opportunity to cross the Han River and besiege Xiangyang City. Liu Biao closed the gate of Xiangyang City and could not defend it, so he only sent Huang Zu to take a small road out of the city to mobilize soldiers.

In recent days, heavy rains have fallen from the sky, the Han River has risen across the riverbank, and many flash floods have erupted. So he first sent people to the Hanshui upstream of Xiangyang to close and reinforce the sluices, and then dug up a number of river embankments, and only after the water potential accumulated to a certain extent, he opened the sluice gates to discharge the floods, so that the surging floods rushed into Xiangyang City as a vanguard and broke the city gates.

"Xiangyang City has strong walls and is surrounded by a wide moat outside, is this plan really feasible?" Sun Ce stood on a hill overlooking the city of Xiangyang, a historic ancient city that lurked like a quiet beast on the plains of the Han River.

"Try it, or what else?" Sun Jian shook the umbrella in his hand and wiped his face full of rain: "The Han River passes through Xiangyang City, and the water system in the city is complicated, and poisoning is unrealistic. ”

Sun Ce was silent for a long time before he said: "I heard that not long after we left, Lu Feng first rebelled back to Chang'an City, and then Hangu Pass and Xieyu Pass were defeated...... I don't know how Shang Yu is doing now. ”

Since Sun Jian listened to Yuan Shu's order to withdraw his troops from Hangu Pass to attack Liu Biao, unless it was a particularly important military report, the rest of the news about Si Li was intentionally or unintentionally excluded by him. Today is the first time that Sun Ce has mentioned the battle situation of Si Li in front of his father.

Sun Jian said what is there to hear? As long as he thought that he had been so close to Chang'an but still hadn't entered it, he was very upset.

If Sun Jian knew that Shen Xian was already standing under the city gate, but because of Lu Bu, she didn't enter the city, I don't know how she would feel.

"Are you free to worry about her?" Sun Jian said helplessly: "She picked up a big bargain behind Lu Fengxian, even if she failed to capture Chang'an City, at least she occupied Xieyu Pass, and strangling this danger was like strangling Chang'an's throat." Whoever lives there in the future will have to guard you day and night...... One day, on a whim, the younger brother led the troops from Xieyu Pass. ”

"Tsk." Sun Ce pouted: "I told him to see you in Chang'an." ”

"Son, there will be opportunities in the future." Sun Jian patted Sun Ce on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go back today." What the hell is the weather! How long is it going to last......"

The father and son slowly walked away.

As soon as they returned to the camp, Sun Jian and Sun Ce saw Han Dang's expression of solemnity coming in a hurry, he stopped in front of the father and son, and handed a stack of bamboo slips in his arms to Sun Jian: "My lord, we have received a letter from Liu Shangyu in Yizhou, saying that Wuguan is in chaos and thieves are fighting among themselves, and finally Guo Yaduo and Duan Zhongming killed others to surrender to the imperial court, and Fan Chou escaped from Wuguan with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed to Liu Biao in the direction of Jingzhou, and it is expected to arrive soon." ”

After a pause, Han Dang sighed: "This news has been confirmed by our scouts, and they will be able to reach Fancheng in less than seven days." ”

"!" Sun Jian scolded fiercely: "It's really time to come!" ”

"Father, don't worry." Sun Ce thought for a while and said: "It's been raining these days, the city is about to be flooded, and Fan Chou's 10,000 soldiers and horses are all landlubbers from Xiliang, and they have no advantage in water warfare." ”

"I hope so." Sun Jian frowned and said: "Let's just say that Liu Jingsheng must have a problem with being closed for so long, go and send a few teams of people to patrol along Xiangyang City, carefully investigate, and don't let go of the path, I suspect that someone in the city has already gone out to move the rescuers, and Fan Chou ......is here at this time."

It's also too much of a coincidence.

After arranging the corresponding means, everyone dispersed and rested. Sun Ce squatted by the window and watched the rain outside, he thought about it, took out his pen and began to write a letter to Shen Xian.
