The geographical location of Shouchun is very important, and if you control it, you will control the defense of the entire Huai River Valley, which can be attacked and defended.

Sun Luban was very clever and did not have a head-on conflict with the Han army, she carefully mobilized the combat power in her hands and began to march to Xuzhou in the east.

For this point, Deng Ai, who has been trying his best to support Sun Luban, has different opinions,

He believed that the Han army's northern expedition would definitely aim at Xuchang, the seat of Yingchuan County, and would not pay attention to the vast land of Runan for a while, and the land and water network of Runan would be vertical and horizontal, and the Han army's best tactic of death charge would be greatly discounted, and Sun Luban should seize there,

Even if he turns his face with the Han army later, with Runan as a buffer, Shouchun will be a little safer.

But this proposal was decisively rejected by Sun Luban, she stared at the map for a while, and said: "We and Shu are already de facto enemies,

If we attack Runan at this time, Guan Yu will not think that we are coming at him.

I don't want them to attack us in advance, so let's take advantage of the fact that we haven't completely torn our faces and seize some territory in the direction of Xuzhou. ”

Deng Ai nodded and said, "The eldest princess is thoughtful, but her subordinates are not thoughtful. ”

"Where, Shizai's ability to use soldiers is ten times better than mine, this Dongwu can do without me, but if you don't have you, I'm afraid that it will be wiped out."

Deng Ai's eyes widened suddenly, he really didn't expect this to come out of Sun Luban's mouth.

Sun Luban saw Deng Ai's surprised face, frowned, and said, "Isn't it right?"

Outsiders still think I'm a famous general, I have a few pounds and a few taels, and I still know it very well.

If it weren't for you, my annoying army would only be able to fight Shanyue, and I would never be able to fight heroes. ”

Deng Ai burst into tears with excitement, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you for the eldest princess's praise, Deng Ai is willing to do his best for the princess, and he will not hesitate to do anything!" ”

From the first time he saw him, Deng Ai felt that he was sworn to follow this noble princess with extraordinary beauty, he knew that with his status, he would never get involved with this naturally noble girl, but he was still willing to do his best and did not ask her for anything in return.

Being recognized by Sun Luban was already a great encouragement to Deng Ai, he bowed down again and again, and walked out of the military tent with high morale.

Sun Luban looked at Deng Aixiong's high-spirited back and sighed softly.

She didn't know Deng Ai's intentions, but the older she got older, the more she felt that what she couldn't forget after all was Xia Kou's bastard man who didn't think of himself as a princess at all.

Sun Luban's clenched fists allowed her nails to pierce her palms, and the painful feeling made her sober up a little, and she continued to study the map in front of her.

At this time, Zhao Hao should have broken through Chang'an, and when he came out with a big victory, I don't know who in this world can fight against him.

Only by occupying Qingxu early, plundering enough population, building a large number of fortresses, and using Xuzhou on the Huaihe River as a stronghold, can he still stalemate with him.

"When the rear is stable, we still need enough combat power.

Eastern Wu lacked war horses, so he could not entangle with them on the plains, and could only rely on the water network of the Huai River to win. ”

Sun Luban stared at the map and muttered.

In the middle of the night, Sun Luban was woken up by the maid from her dream, she yawned with sleepy eyes, forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

The maid whispered, "Princess, General Quan is here, just waiting for your return outside the tent." ”

"Which general?"

"General Zihuang is also."

Quan Cong's word Zi Huang is a rare man in Jiangdong who is both civil and military, his father Quan Rou is Sun's general, and he is also loyal, Sun Quan has always wanted Sun Luban to marry him, Quan Cong also really likes this charming girl, although he has several sons, he still did not give up the pursuit of Sun Luban.

As soon as he thought of this, Sun Luban was a little big,

"What is he here for?"

"It is said that Jianye has something important, and he has come to pass on the edict."

Sun Luban yawned and said, "What's important, it's really annoying." ”

That being said, Sun Luban was still dressed well, she was too lazy to comb her hair, and walked out directly with her hair draped,

Under the moon, Quan Cong was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and when he saw Sun Luban coming out, he smiled at Sun Luban slightly, trying his best to show a personable appearance,

But Sun Luban didn't pay attention to Quan Cong's body, she was also experienced in the battlefield, and the moment she saw Quan Cong, she felt a smell of danger.

Because Quan Cong did not come alone, behind him, there were hundreds of Wu army armor soldiers standing solemnly, these people were all strong and sharp-eyed, and at first glance they were rare sharp soldiers in the Eastern Wu army.

For a messenger, his pomp was obviously a bit too big.

"Quan Cong has seen the eldest princess, and he came here late at night to disturb the eldest princess's rest."

Sun Luban didn't want to show his timidity, but she still subconsciously took a step back and said in a deep voice: "Why did General Quan say this, it's just for state affairs." ”

Quan Cong smiled elegantly, but Sun Luban clearly felt a trace of evil in his smile.

Not to mention anything else, Sun Luban's status is extremely high, and now he is a chariot general, ordered to go on a northern expedition, Quan Cong is the general of Suinan, and when he sees Sun Luban, he wants to bow respectfully and bow, and he is called the last general.

But he only called Sun Luban the eldest princess, and clearly did not take Sun Luban's status in his eyes.

Quan Cong also felt a hostility in Sun Luban's eyes, he smiled slightly, took out an edict from his arms, and said:

"The eldest princess broke through Shouchun and Hefei, and she has made great contributions to Sheji, and the princess of Tianzi Zhao will return to Jianye, and there will be a big reward, I will congratulate the princess in advance."

Sun Luban didn't reach out to receive the edict, she looked at Quan Cong coldly, and under the moonlight, there was already a bit of obvious killing intent on that bewitching face.

"General Quan, is this edict from the Son of Heaven?"

"Naturally." Quan Cong said without hesitation.

Sun Luban suddenly felt a trace of anger in his heart, and he was sure that someone was playing right and wrong in front of Sun Quan, seeing that he had made a great contribution, and he was going to put on small shoes for himself again.

With Sun Luban's merits, Sun Quan should have been rewarded a long time ago, and he would not be a general, but a hussar general would never be able to run.

Now that the war on the front line is urgent, everything has to be presided over by Sun Luban, if she returns to Jianye, I am afraid that everything will come to naught, and Sun Quan should not be so stupid.

Moreover, Sun Luban's hardcore ally Lu Yi has also cut off the news since Sun Luban's Northern Expedition, although Lu Yi's words are of inferior character, but his ability to steer the rudder is still not small.

He should be able to see that Sun Luban now has the main military power of Wu State, and he will not easily take refuge in others.

It was Lu Yi who took refuge in others, and Mrs. Zhao should also have a letter.

She is Sun Quan's pillow person, if there is really any trouble, she will definitely find out early.

Everything is mixed together, and Sun Luban is even more puzzled,

"I go back to Jianye, what about the sons and daughters here?"

Quan Cong smiled and said, "If you look at the edict, you will naturally know." ”

As he spoke, several armor soldiers around him had slowly fanned out, and slowly outflanked Sun Luban, Sun Luban snorted and said, "Someone!" ”

After all, she is the general who leads the battle, and with this roar, the surrounding guards stood with swords in their hands, but those guards reacted quickly, and the armor soldiers behind Quan Cong reacted faster.

Sun Luban never expected that these hundreds of people would draw their swords out of their sheaths at the same time and attack him quickly, and the guards around her were caught off guard, and they were cut to the ground one by one in an instant!

This sudden change made Sun Luban panic, and when she came back to her senses, Quan Cong's long knife was already on her neck.

"Quan Cong, if you want to rebel, you can't do it!" Sun Luban was shocked and frightened, and his voice began to tremble.

"The minister didn't dare to rebel, but the Son of Heaven ordered a certain commander to relieve the annoying army, and he was afraid that the princess would not allow it, so he could only make this decision!"

"Impossible!"

"How is it impossible, you can see clearly, these people are all tigers around the Son of Heaven!"

When Sun Luban was a general of Wei, he also commanded Sun Quan's personal guard Tiger Ben army, she looked over unwillingly, and sure enough, she saw a few familiar faces from it.

No wonder they are so ruthless and ruthless, and their own guards are not vulnerable at all.

Don't...... My father really didn't trust him so much, and he even made such a great feat......

Quan Cong smiled and spread out the edict, let people illuminate it with a torch, and said word by word: "Princess, forgive the ministers for trespassing."

But the Son of Heaven wrote it clearly, let the minister commander relieve the troublesome army, and then let the princess return to Jianye, if there is any offense, the minister will naturally go to the princess to ask for guilt in the future. ”

As he spoke, he actually stretched out his hand and gently pinched Sun Luban's blown-up face,

"You!"

Sun Luban was furious in his heart, but he suddenly thought of an even more terrifying possibility.

Even if Sun Quan doesn't trust himself, he will definitely not let a foreign minister despise his daughter so much.

Quan Cong used such ruthless means to seize his military power, and dared to do this to himself, where did he come from with such fearless confidence.

"Damn, let go of the general!"

This series of commotions had already alarmed the entire army of Eastern Wu, Deng Ai and Zhuge Ke all led their headquarters to come, and when they saw Quan Cong actually holding a steel knife on Sun Luban's neck, they were even more angry.

"Quan Cong, you have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dare to be so rude to the princess!" Zhuge Ke was the first to jump out and scold,

Quan Cong sneered: "Zhuge Ke, pay me a little attention when you speak, someone has already told the Son of Heaven that the eldest princess is colluding with the Shu Kingdom, and the Son of Heaven ordered me to take the princess back to Jianye-

Why, you still dare to go against the will of the Son of Heaven? ”

"Fuck you!" Zhuge Ke scolded, "The eldest princess is dedicated to the country, where is she colluding with the Shu Kingdom, which shameless animal is telling right and wrong, Lao Tzu chopped him with a knife!" ”

Quan Cong beckoned, and his own soldiers brought the talisman Huang Yue and held it in front of him.

"I have a festival here, and there is an edict from the Son of Heaven, I see which of you dares to embarrass me, I'm afraid you won't die!

The matter of the eldest princess and Zhao Hao, the world knows, she commanded the Northern Expedition, broke through Shouchun and Hefei early, but has been holding the army, what is the reason, don't say it, you know, if there is any grievance, you might as well go back to Jianye and say it to the Son of Heaven,

Why, is there any dissatisfaction with the Son of Heaven when he gathers a crowd to make trouble here? ”

"I'll go to you......" Zhuge Ke's swear words were endless, it can be seen that Quan Cong said so conclusively, and he didn't dare to move.

After all, Sun Quan is still the emperor.
