The fire burned from noon to midnight, and when it burned out, the entire county had become a scorched earth, full of ruins and broken walls, and it was pitch black.

The road to Shu was difficult, and Liu Wei was not in a hurry to pass the pass, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties at night, so he was stationed outside the pass overnight, and only waved his troops to pass the pass in the early morning of the next day, preparing to continue to advance northward, and strive to take Hanzhong before the cold winter, and advance the battle line to the Tianshui area.

At this moment, it is already October, although the climate of the Bashu Basin is warm, but the grass and trees all over the mountains have also withered and yellowed, and there are only a few leaves left on the poplars on both sides of the post road.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, dozens of horses galloped from the direction of Chengdu.

These people who came were none other than Sun Gan and Jian Yong, who went to Jinling to welcome Liu Chan back to Chengdu, and brought Zhao Yun's sister-in-law Zhao Feiyan to Bashu by the way.

After Sun Qian and Jian Yong entered the camp, they were not in a hurry to see the emperor, but first sent someone to report to Chen Ping and ask how to place Zhao Feiyan? You can't just stuff it into the emperor's tent and say, "Your Majesty, please use it slowly!" ”

After Chen Ping got the news, he immediately came to greet him in person: "Haha...... There are Lao Sun Gongyou, Jian Xian and two adults along the way; Your Majesty has not yet woken up, so go to my tent for a while. ”

Zhao Feiyan, who is dressed as a man, has greased lips, a face like a crown of jade, picturesque facial features, and a willow waist, even if she is wearing the clothes of a small girl, she is also fresh and refined, and I feel sorry for her. smiled at Chen Pingyan, and said slightly: "Lord Chen, Feiyan is polite!" ”

Chen Ping glanced at Zhao Feiyan up and down with a smile, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: "Tut...... It is said that the eighteen changes of the female university, and the flying goose girl is simply changing every day. I haven't seen you for more than half a year, haven't you? The girl is even more out of the city, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world. Your Majesty may not be able to pamper you when you see you! ”

Zhao Feiyan suddenly lowered her head and whispered, "Lord Chen, don't make fun of Feiyan." I just admire His Majesty's majestic strategy, admire his cultural and martial arts, can cross the lance on the horse, and can write poems when he gets off the horse. I just want to see His Majesty's demeanor, I don't dare to think about it! ”

Chen Ping lowered his voice and smiled: "Sister Feiyan, don't talk politely to me, who doesn't want to be a marquis and worship a general, and which good woman doesn't want to be a mother in the world?" What's more, Sister Feiyan has a unique appearance and figure, if she can't enter the Qianyang Palace to shine, it will be really tyrannical! Girls are relieved. If you have a brother, I will take action to ensure that Your Majesty will love you with three thousand in one! ”

"I don't know how my brother trained me?" Zhao Feiyan timidly followed behind Chen Ping and walked towards the tent, "I think Lord Chen is still quiet, I only look at His Majesty from a distance and I am satisfied." ”

After entering the tent, Chen Ping personally made tea and poured tea bowls for Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Zhao Feiyan and others: "Sister, don't worry, I have already said hello to General Zilong!" Although your brother is cautious, who doesn't want to be a relative of the emperor? I don't believe that if Sister Feiyan and His Majesty are in love, General Zilong will come forward to obstruct him. All this still depends on Sister Feiyan's idea! ”

"Then everything is under Master Chen's orders!"

Zhao Feiyan's heart was full of joy, holding the tea bowl and taking a sip, her cheeks flushed, full of longing for the future.

"Lord Chen. The temperature has plummeted a lot this morning, is it time for the eldest grandson Thorn Shi to prepare cotton clothes for the army? ”

The tent door curtain was lifted, and Zhao Yun, who had just inspected the camp, strode in. was surprised to find that her sister-in-law was actually a guest in Chen Ping's camp, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Hmm...... Flying geese? How did you end up here? ”

Zhao Feiyan hurriedly got up. Lowering his head like a child who made a mistake, he called softly: "Brother! ”

Chen Ping smiled and poured Zhao Yun a full teacup: "General Zilong, look at what you said." Pinching your fingers, you haven't been back to Jinling for at least three years, right? Shouldn't you be happy to see a girl who has been away for a long time? ”

Thinking of what Chen Ping said to himself when he was sealed a few days ago, and then looking at Sun Qian and Jian Yong who were smiling, Zhao Yun understood what was going on, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Chen Shilang, Chen Shilang, you really took great pains for the sake of your sister!" ”

"Hey...... General Zilong, you are wrong again! Chen Ping put down the teapot and talked and laughed, "Eat the king's luck, and repay the gentleman's kindness." Your Majesty has been driving the expedition for at least half a year, how can we, as courtiers, not worry about the king? Second, the flying goose girl was born so captivating the city and the country, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, after entering the palace, maybe she will be able to mother the world in the future, General Zilong, you will also follow the light, isn't it a happy event that kills two birds with one stone? ”

Zhao Yun took a sip of tea and said helplessly: "Since Chen Shilang cares so much about his sister, and he is more meticulous and thoughtful than my own brother, then just send the Buddha to the west!" ”

After speaking, he put down the tea bowl, turned around and left: "I still have to go on an inspection, so I won't abolish the public for personal reasons!" ”

Seeing that the sky was a little brighter, Chen Ping instructed Zhao Feiyan, Sun and Jian to wait for his good news in the tent, and then turned around and went straight to the imperial tent.

Although it failed to encircle and annihilate the Liu and Zhao coalition forces, after connecting the Mianzhu Pass and the Luo Pass, the road to Hanzhong in the north was basically opened. All the way to the north, the defenders of the important towns of Zitong and Jiange were only 6,000 people, and the guards were Ling Bao, Zhang Wei, and Liu Xun, Cheng Gongying and others who fled back from Jiangzhou. Therefore, Liu Wei was in a good mood, and he slept very soundly last night.

As soon as Liu Wei finished washing, he saw Chen Ping walk in, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is good news to report!" ”

"Good news?" Liu Wei was stunned, "What good news?" Did Zhang Liao and Gan Ning take Hanzhong? Or is Wei Chigong successful in quelling the rebellion, won't it be so fast? ”

Chen Ping said in a tricky way: "One of the four happy events in life! ”

The cave room spends candle night, when the gold list is inscribed; After a long drought, it is a rainy day, and a foreign country meets a familiar one.

Liu Wei pondered it, and the first one was reliable.

He is a dignified emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he naturally does not need the title of the gold list. As for the long-term drought and Ganlin, he has indeed been in drought for more than half a year, but it is a pity that a large group of concubines with national beauty and fragrance are thousands of miles away in Jinling, even if they are whip long. It's even more nonsense to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and I want to have an old acquaintance in this life!

"Chen Qing means that he is going to be a matchmaker for me?"

Liu Wei smacked his lips and asked, this Chen Ping is really good at figuring out the holy will, it is impossible for such a "loyal minister" not to be favored!

Chen Ping smiled and nodded: "What Weichen told Your Majesty about Sister Zilong last time, I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers?" ”

Zhao Feiyan was summoned by Liu Wei himself, how could he not remember? But he couldn't be too anxious, and he looked ignorant: "Chen Qing is talking about Zilong's sister?" It seems that there is a little impression, but it is far away in Jiangdong, how can it be said that there is good news? ”

"Huh...... Far away, close at hand! ”

Chen Ping told the truth with a smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already instructed Sun Qian and Jian Yong to bring the flying goose girl from Jinling. Later, I will bring her to His Majesty's attention, if she can get His Majesty's favor. Then give me a name, and I'll accept it in the near future, right? ”

"What, this guy actually brought Zhao Feiyan to Chengdu?" Liu Wei was surprised and delighted in his heart, Chen Ping is so understanding, he hasn't touched a woman for more than half a year, can he finally open meat in the past few days?

This made Liu Wei secretly decide in his heart that the two people around him who could not let go in the future were Sun Wu, who had the attributes of a soldier saint, and Chen Ping, who was empathetic.

"The army is on the way to conquer, I'm halfway to Naji, I'm afraid it's not right?" Although Liu Wei couldn't wait to kiss Fang Ze now, he didn't forget to say a few words.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "The two thieves Liu and Zhao have fled to the west, and they are empty all the way from Mianzhu to Hanzhong, and they see that winter is coming, and the cold winter is coming. There are not many days to use troops before the year, and His Majesty can temporarily sit in Chengdu for some time, send a general to lead the army to attack Hanzhong in the north, and wait for the beginning of spring next year for His Majesty to personally conquer Hanzhong. ”

It is a long journey from Chengdu to Jinling, which is a long way, so Liu Wei does not plan to return to Jiangdong this winter, and is ready to sweep the Western Han Dynasty in one go next year, and then return to Beijing in triumph after taking Luoyang and Chang'an. And Chen Ping brought Zhao Feiyan to Chengdu for himself at this time, which was like a charcoal in the snow, and he didn't have to worry about loneliness and emptiness in the long night of this winter.

After a while, Chen Ping took Zhao Feiyan, who had changed into a white dress, to the imperial tent and bowed solemnly: "The people's daughter Zhao Feiyan greets Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Wei stared at it, and saw that this woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, she was really gorgeous, beautiful and incomprehensible, and she was out of the world with a smile and a smile, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world. Especially the slender and graceful figure, with the waterfall-like green silk, how can it be a country and a city!

"Sure enough, it's the best stunner!"

Liu Wei gave Zhao Feiyan a thumbs up, and made a decision in an irresistible and domineering tone: "Spread my will, canonize the title of Zhao's Feiyan beauty, and Chen Ping will send a six-book dowry gift, and choose a day to marry!" ”

Zhao Feiyan's heart was overjoyed when she heard this, and she bowed to Yingying: "Thank you Your Majesty for your love, Feiyan is willing to serve Your Majesty with all her heart!" ”

The news that the emperor was ready to marry Zhao Yun's sister as a beauty quickly spread, and all the civil and military came together to congratulate the Son of Heaven, and congratulated Zhao Yun one after another. I envy him for giving birth to a good sister, and since then he has become a relative of the emperor, coupled with his own merits and fame, his future prospects are definitely limitless.

Although the happy event is coming, but the soldiers are fast, Liu Zhao's army is retreating north along the Yinping Mountain Road, so the Eastern Han army can not relax, must take the first step to occupy Hanzhong, a strategic point, and open the way to march to Yongliang.

Liu Wei made a decision, ordered Xu Huang to lead his troops as a vanguard to attack Zitong, Jiange and other places all the way north, ordered Sun Wu to be the chief general of the Second Route Army, and led Zhao Yun, Yu Ziqi, Wu Yi and others to raise 50,000 troops to follow, and the other horses were temporarily stationed in Luo County, repairing the city, and beware of Liu Zhao's sudden killing. As for himself, he will temporarily return to Chengdu to enjoy a few days of Yanfu. (To be continued.) )
