However, it was said that Zhao Xu went south with Sun Ce and others, and arrived in Xuzhou more than ten days later, Guan Yu also hospitably entertained Sun Ce and others, and learned that Zhao Xu would marry Sun Shangxiang, and he was going to Jiangdong to meet Wu Guotai, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but because Sun Ce and others were there, it was not good to break Zhao Xu's face, so he had to give up.

Later, in order to show etiquette, in addition to the 800 personal soldiers carried by Zhao Xu, Guan Yu also purchased a lot of wine sheep and other gifts to Zhao Xu as gifts. Yizhi accompanied the 800 sergeants all dressed in red and hung colors, and everyone in Xuzhou City knew about the marriage of Zhao Xu and Sun Shangxiang, and they were all happy.

At this time, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and I wanted to act quickly, but I didn't expect a cold wave to fall from the sky, heavy snowfall, biting cold winds, and the sky and the earth were white.

Also because of the heavy snow, whether it is a waterway or a dry road, it is inconvenient, and everyone has no choice but to stay in Xuzhou for a few more days.

After a few days, the relationship between Zhao Xu and Sun Shangxiang has become more and more familiar, and Sun Shangxiang's personality is better than Ma Yunlu, so it is easy to get along. It can be said that Lang is affectionate, and the concubine is intentional.

But in the cold winter, Zhao Xu couldn't be idle, and then followed Guan Yu to observe the situation in Xuzhou, and saw that the various branches and generals of the two armies of Xuzhou waterway were also majestic and majestic; However, this water army naturally watched it secretly, and even Sun Shangxiang didn't know it. Seeing that Xuzhou is politically harmonious, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a peaceful atmosphere. Zhao Xu looked at it in his eyes, and he was also overjoyed, and nodded with satisfaction. Here Guan Yu has no worries, it is no problem to be alone, plus his subordinates Gan Ning Yongguan three armies, plus a series of Jingzhou generals such as Wen Ping, the two armies of the waterway can be described as strong, and their comprehensive combat power is probably the strongest in the state and county under Liu Bei's rule, and it is no wonder that Cao Pi in the Three Kingdoms said that the famous general of Shu is only Guan Yu, and the martial saint is really extraordinary.

In the snowy weather, even Zhao Xu, a relatively lazy person, can't stay idle at home, not to mention Sun Shangxiang, seeing that Zhao Xu is also idle, often walking outside, adding joy, pestering Zhao Xu to go out to play, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. Zhao Xu has impressed everyone in the matter of building snowmen, Zhao Xu loved to build snowmen in later generations, although he is not as good as the carving master, but it is more than enough compared with the current people, no way, he has more knowledge than the ancients; In this way, Zhao Xu and Sun have more worlds for the two of them, and the private space is even more private. However, Sun Shangxiang has not officially married yet, and it is not in accordance with etiquette to have too close a relationship with Zhao Xu, but Sun Ce and others are forced to save face by Zhao Xu, and it is not easy to say anything.

In the snow, a pair of lovers walked and jumped, chatting about their life stories; The two grew in love. When talking about the rise, the two couldn't help but be emotional, and when they talked deeply, Zhao Xu and Sun Shangxiang fell softly together, their lips and teeth touched, their hands knotted, and they snuggled tightly.

One is full of joy, the other is innocent. In love, he is really happy like a fairy; The two of them were sweet and sweet, and before they knew it, they were hungry, and they were just close to Guan Yu's training ground, so Zhao Xu took Sun Shangxiang to eat by the way.

Came straight to Guan Yu's training ground, but I didn't expect Guan Yu to be there, Guan Erye really didn't build it, he wouldn't neglect his duties, and the training on a snowy day was not ambiguous, Zhao Xu thought secretly. Guan Yu saw Zhao Xu and said, "Boxiong, you are here, I was about to send someone to look for you, it was just noon, and I came over for a meal, warm and warm." ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "Then dare to be kind, what is Yun Chang looking for me?" ”

Guan Yu couldn't help but glance at Sun Shangxiang, Zhao Xu could see it, and he also knew that Guan Yu was arrogant and despised Jiangdong Sun Ce and others the most. smiled helplessly, glared at Sun Shangxiang beside her, and wanted to scold her to leave temporarily, but seeing Sun Shangxiang's innocent appearance, she couldn't bear it, and said softly: "That Shangxiang, I want to talk about national affairs with Yun Chang, and if you have important matters to discuss with you, you can go out and wait for me outside for a while." ”

Sun Shangxiang pouted when she heard this, her face was gloomy, she twisted and turned around and wanted to go back, but she didn't want to ask for it, and left slowly. Seeing this, Guan Yu also felt that he was biased, Sun Shangxiang was Zhao Xu's fiancée after all, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Miss Sun is not an outsider, she is about to become my younger brother and sister, and she will not leak any important information, so there is no need to let her go away." ”

Sun Shangxiang was in the prime of his youth at this time, and he was also in love with Zhao Xu, how could he think of other things, seeing that Guan Yu also interceded for her, he hurriedly laughed and said: "That's it, I have heard of General Guan's name in Jiangdong for a long time, or General Guan is right, I am about to become your wife, and I will not leak any news." Zhao Xu was speechless for a while, but Guan Yu let go, so he had to let her stay by his side. Sun Shangxiang acted like a child winning the game, and was overjoyed.

Guan Yu frowned slightly and said, "Boxiong! You are about to go to Jiangdong to marry, which is naturally a happy event, but you have a heavy responsibility and a high position, as the saying goes: people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong; Moreover, there are only hundreds of elite soldiers with him, although Zilong is there, but Jiang ...... Cao Cao over there in Jiangxi has bad intentions, in case there are three long and two short, I can't explain it, you forgot about the last time Bowangpo. ”

Zhao Xu smiled, who didn't know that Guan Yu actually meant Jiangdong, not Cao Cao, and said: "Why should Yun Chang be so worried, with Zilong here, and the protection of eight hundred elite soldiers under his command, it will be fine, even if something happens, it's a big deal to kill him again in Bowangpo; And Yun Chang, you are sitting in Xuzhou, thinking that Yun Chang dragged a knife to cut Yan Liang, and Pegasus was ugly. Such a hero, even if there is something, Yun Chang, you are in Xuzhou, and you can raise an elite army to rescue me. Who in the world can stop you? ”

Guan Yu listened to the praise, and subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and his pride overflowed his eyebrows. Although I was a little worried about Zhao Xu's safety, I thought about it later, which one is Zilong, who is the right one in Jiangdong? What's more, if he sits in Xuzhou, even if Jiangdong has bad intentions, he can advance by waterway and destroy Jiangdong. smiled at the moment: "Haha! Boxiong is really a master of art and bold, so it doesn't matter! But Boxiong, if something happens on the road, you immediately send someone back to report to me, even if it is in Cao Cao's Xuchang, I will fly to the rescue. ”

Where did Sun Shangxiang know that Guan Yu was referring to Sang scolding Huai, only that Guan Yu and Zhao Xu had a deep affection, and he was not very grateful in his heart, the people around Zhao Xu were so loyal, and Zhao Xu's prestige was naturally not false, and he was sincerely happy in his heart, and without waiting for Zhao Xu to speak, he said: "I thank General Guan for Zhao Xu's brother." ”

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this, don't turn his face, alas! It's a pity that this troubled world! Sun Shangxiang only thought about the joy of marriage at this time, where did he think that Jiangdong would be Liu Bei's enemy sooner or later, and it would be sooner or later he would be destroyed. Guan Yu saw that Sun Shangxiang had a deep affection for Zhao Xu, and he was also very embarrassed, and his arrogance towards Sun Shangxiang was also put away. Guan Yu usually attaches the most importance to love and righteousness, but everyone who values love and righteousness admires it.

A few days later, the ice and snow melted, the earth warmed up, and then did not stay, went straight to Jiangdong, Xuzhou went to Wuchang and waterway connection, arrived in Wuchang in a few days, was resting, suddenly someone came to report, said that Wu Guotai personally wanted to see himself. Zhao Xu was thinking about it, and Zhao Yun and Wang Yong said together: "When we meet in Japan, I don't know the bad luck, (I) brother brought 800 troops to protect me." ”

"No, it's not ours when there are too many people, just follow the two of you." Zhao Xu said. Zhao Yun has the Qingyu sword in his hand, plus martial arts, Jiangdong has no opponent; He also has a giant sword, so he is naturally not afraid, and even if there is an ambush, he can take hostages.

The next day, see the future mother-in-law! Naturally, Zhao Xu habitually put on his favorite set of clothes, Zhao Xu wore a phoenix winged purple and gold crown on his head, wearing chain gold armor, hanging Qingzhou red brocade tiger robe, waist with a delicate lion belt, and stepping down the lotus silk steps; Wang Yong followed with the giant sword on his back, and Zhao Yun also wore it in full gear, and came to the agreed Ganlu Temple, and when he got there, Wu Guotai, Qiao Guolao, Sun Ce, and Sun Shangxiang were all there. Zhou Yu and Lu Su greeted them outside, and saw that Zhao Xu was armed, majestic, and Zhao Yun was also fully armed, and he was afraid.

After the ceremony, Zhou Yu and Lu Su led Zhao Xu and others into the country. Wu Guotai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Zhao Xu's dignified, majestic, and heroic face, and said to Qiao Guolao: "General Zhao Xu is a hero, and he is really the son-in-law of the old body!" ”

Qiao Guolao also said happily: "General Zhao has the courage of Yingbu, and the talent of Zhang Liang and Han Xin; It is also known for its benevolence and righteousness in the world. Guotai has this good son-in-law, which is really gratifying and celebrating. ”

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, he was originally afraid that Wu Guotai would be too picky and look down on him, thinking that he liked Liu Bei, but he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart at this time. Thank you at the moment, "Xie Guotai praised him, and Zhao Xu didn't dare to be ashamed." Sun Shangxiang was also happy when he heard this, and glanced at Zhao Xu, who smiled at him.

Then Zhao Yun and Wang Yong entered with swords, and they lined up Zhao Xu left and right. Wu Guotai asked, "Who are these two?" ”

Zhao Xu replied: "This is my brother Changshan Zhao Zilong, and this is my personal soldier guarding Wang Yong." ”

Wu Guotai was very surprised, and exclaimed: "I have heard for a long time that Changshan Zhao Zilong saved his brother in a bloody battle against Bowangpo, and Zhao Xu fought Wang Yong to the death to savior and fight Lu Bu. Come, give wine. ”

Zhao Yun's expression changed, and he said: "I tried to inspect under the corridor, and when I saw a knife and axe hand outside the room, I dared to ask Guotai if this is Jiangdong etiquette, so as not to misunderstand." ”

"Axeman? Eldest brother! What's going on? Sun Shangxiang was taken aback when he heard this, and got up and asked.

Wu Guo was too angry, and scolded Sun Ce at the moment: "Today, General Zhao Xu is my son-in-law, and my son-in-law is my own son." Why are you lying under the porch? ”

"The mother is angry, but the child does not know. Justice, what's the situation? Sun Ce hurriedly asked loudly.

Zhou Yu saw that the matter was revealed, first, he was afraid that Zhao Xu would be angry and ashamed; The second is to know Wu Guotai's character, I'm afraid to blame. only shirked and said that it was Lu Fan's idea.

Wu Guo was too angry: "Bold minions, dare to set up an ambush to alarm the master, come here!" Drag that Lu Fan down and cut it down! ”

Zhao Xu saw that it was about to turn into a bloodshed, and he was afraid that Sun Shangxiang would not look good, so he hurriedly persuaded: "If you behead the general, it will be unlucky in marriage, and Zhao Xu will not be a good person." Qiao Guolao and others also spoke out to persuade each other. Wu Guotai gave up and retreated from Jia Hua, and all the sword and axe hands rushed away with their heads in their hands.

Things are stable, and Sun Shangxiang and Wu Guotai both like Zhao Xu, and the banquet is finally interested, Sun Ce and Zhao Xu are also old friends, and they get along well during the period, until the wine has passed three rounds and the sky will be dark, and they will each retreat.

Within three days, Wu Guotai personally presided over a large banquet and let Sun Shangxiang and Zhao Xu get married. Although many generals in Jiangdong regarded Zhao Xu as an enemy, one was forced by Wu Guotai, and the other was also afraid of Zhao Yun; There were no twists and turns in the banquet room, and it was a pleasure.
