After staying in Zhuzhu for two days, Sun Luban skirted the bay and headed north.

At the beginning of July, it arrived at Liaokou.

The boat she was riding on was a pointed-bottom boat, suitable for navigation, but inconvenient for entering inland waterways.

Sun Luban used this as a reason to set up camp near Liaokou, and sent people to nearby Wen County to buy daily necessities, and get in touch with the Wu spies planted here to collect information.

Sun Luban had already received some similar training, and now he has Xiahou Hui as a staff officer, and the arrangements are even more orderly. Several people in charge were still a little worried, but after meeting her, they all said that it was better than expected, and they couldn't help but compliment her.

But the information they can provide is very limited, and the reason is the same as the difficulties encountered by Zhang Wei and others, they cannot contact the magnates of the Yan State and cannot know accurate information. Although several possible locations were inquired, it was impossible to distinguish the authenticity, let alone determine the specific location.

In a word, Gongsun Yuan was heavily guarded and didn't leave them much of a chance.

Sun Luban asked Xiahou Hui for advice.

Xiahou Hui was prepared, and said calmly: "The gentleman should be on standby." Now that the Wei State is sharpening its knives and aiming at Liaodong, Gongsun Yuanyan can not panic. He had a request from Wu Guo, so he would naturally take the initiative to come and contact. The princess might as well wait patiently, and only ask the merchants, not the rest. Within a month, Gongsun Yuan will inevitably come in person. ”

Sun Luban thought so and patiently stayed in Liaokou. Every day, I either ride a horse and shoot arrows, or I go to the nearby grass market to hang out, looking leisurely and contented.

As Xiahou Hui expected, half a month later, Gongsun Yuan came, but the movement was a little scary.

He took with him ten thousand horsemen.

When he heard the news for the first time, Sun Luban was really startled, and his first reaction was that the news had leaked, and Gongsun Yuan had come to arrest her, so hurry up and leave. Taking advantage of the fact that Gongsun Yuan had not yet arrived, he set sail and returned and fled.

Xiahou Hui stopped her.

If Gongsun Yuan really wants to arrest you, he doesn't need 10,000 rides at all, 1,000 rides is enough. Fewer troops, faster speed, will not give you a chance to react at all. The reason why the teachers are mobilized is just to show their strength, and it is not to arrest people.

From another point of view, the reason why he is so high-profile is precisely to let the princess see the value of Liaodong and increase the possibility of an alliance.

Sun Luban was suspicious, but finally did not slip away, and patiently waited for the arrival of Gongsun Yuan.

With the encouragement of Xiahou Hui, Sun Luban mustered up the courage and only took Sun Ying and ten other female guards out of the camp to meet Gongsun Yuan.

As Xiahou Hui expected, Gongsun Yuan was surprised to learn that Sun Luban took the initiative to come to see him, and ordered his eldest son, Gongsun Xiu, to go out of the camp to welcome Sun Luban.

The Gongsun clan has been in Liaodong for forty years, and nominally accepts Zhengshuo in the Central Plains, but in fact he has long regarded himself as the emperor of the soil. Gongsun Xiu regards himself as the crown prince, and he has no children over the years, and he has never paid attention to women, he will rob them when he likes them, and kill them when he is tired of them. After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some aesthetic fatigue.

The first time he saw Sun Luban, he was amazed.

First, Sun Luban is tall and outstanding, dressed in a delicate military uniform, every nail leaf is polished, shining in the sun, and it is a type that Gongsun Xiu has never seen before, and the freshness is bursting. The second is that the female guards behind Sun Luban are all showy and heroic, which not only sets off Sun Luban well, but also does not dominate, and the whole effect is excellent, which is particularly eye-catching.

"I have heard that the princess is heroic and martial, not inferior to a man. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. Gongsun Xiu said with a smile, his eyes looked back and forth on Sun Luban, and he couldn't help but swallow two mouthfuls of saliva.

Sun Luban was very unhappy, but he didn't take it seriously. She was seen too much and was used to it.

Men, all of them are virtuous. When you see a wonderful woman, you either reject or want to possess it.

"I've also heard the name of the major general, but I'm a little disappointed."

Gongsun Xiu was stunned for a moment, and his face couldn't help but be a little ugly. "Why did the princess say that?"

"Although Liaodong lives overseas, it has also been educated for hundreds of years. Ling Zengzu is said to have been Shang Shulang, and he is considered a person who knows etiquette, why is his eyes so rude when he sees people? Is the major general here to form an alliance, or is he here to hunt for beauty? ”

Gongsun Xiu's face changed. "If it's about etiquette, outside the male lead, inside the female lead, Wu Guo takes the princess as the envoy and comes to form an alliance, is it even more rude? Or is it that the men of Wu are weak and can't stand the wind and waves, so they can only be done by the princess? ”

Sun Luban smiled. "There are many heroes in Jiangdong, there is the overlord of Chu in the past, and eight thousand Jiangdong disciples destroy the tyrannical Qin. Today, there are Sun Lang and Zhou Lang, breaking Cao Cao's 800,000 army in Chibi. Liaodong soldiers were strong and strong, with 100,000 elite horses, but they were broken by Cao Cao's battle. If the men in Jiangdong are weak, are there still men in Liaodong? ”

Gongsun Xiu was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say, "The princess is so eloquent. ”

Sun Luban said smoothly, and wanted to drag a few more words, but Xiahou Hui quietly pulled his sleeves, and then remembered that if he said too much, he would lose, and now was not the time to show off his eloquence, so he said a few insincere kind words to ease the scene.

Gongsun Xiu then took Sun Luban to see Gongsun Yuan.

Seeing Sun Luban, Gongsun Yuan was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect Princess Wu to be such a heroic woman. I also heard that Gongsun Xiu was speechless by Sun Luban, and he was even more envious of Sun Quan's blessings, and he was so capable of even giving birth to a daughter. It is conceivable that the Sun family must be full of talents, so it can stand with Wei Shu.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Luban explained his intentions. This time, in addition to shouldering the task of forming an alliance, there is also a purpose, I heard that Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang and heirs are in Liaodong, Mrs. Yuan is grateful for her family affection, and wants to see them, hoping that Gongsun Yuan can provide some convenience.

Gongsun Yuan pretended not to know and asked Sun Luban where he heard the news.

Sun Luban was blunt, there was a man named Yuan Song, who claimed to be the son of Yuan Xi, and was now in Wuchang. Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Yao, has confirmed that he is indeed the Yuan bloodline.

Sun Luban hinted at Gongsun Yuan again. The fourth generation and three dukes of the Yuan family have a great influence, although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are dead, and their descendants are not famous, but the Sun family feels the legacy of the Yuan family, and intends to establish a future for it, so that the ancestors of the Yuan family will eat blood. If Gongsun Yuan can provide some help, it will be grateful.

Gongsun Yuan was noncommittal, and said that he was willing to send someone to investigate, and when there was a result, he would reply to Sun Luban.

Sun Luban did not break it, and immediately talked about the alliance.

She is the main envoy, and her status is noble, of course, she will not directly discuss the details with Gongsun Yuan. After confirming the principles of the alliance, they each arranged personnel to negotiate specifically, and then changed the topic and talked about the weather, climate, and so on.

Sun Luban said that one of the purposes of coming to Liaodong was to hear that there were good horses in Liaodong and wanted to buy some war horses. The price can be negotiated, the quantity is also very large, bartering is OK, buying with money, in short, full of sincerity, I hope to cooperate for a long time.

In exchange, Wu was willing to help Gongsun Yuan form a sailor.

Gongsun Yuan's heart pounded.
