"Without faith, the impetus for life is gone; Without faith, the splendor of life will disappear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThird brother, have you lost your faith? Yuan Xi asked.

The autumn rain hit them in the face. Piles of dark gray clouds pressed low on the earth. It was already late autumn, and the large forest outside the city walls had been cut bare by Cao Jun, and the few old trees that remained stood gloomily, brown moss covering the wrinkles on its body.

"Autumn is coming, Cao Cao is like our autumn wind, as soon as he comes, our flowers and the illusion of strength are blown by him at all, my tens of thousands of troops, it's a pity, after Jizhou is lost, we want to turn the tables again, how difficult it should be, if the second brother was willing to fight against Cao Cao with me at that time, and put the army in my hands, how could my Yuan family come to this point."

Yuan Shang frowned, and the Sichuan eyebrows in the center of his eyebrows were particularly distinct.

Yuan Xi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Third brother! If I had given you military power and Youzhou at that time, wouldn't I have to force my eldest brother to death? What kind of despair will the big brother have? ”

"But if you just watch it quietly, I'm afraid Yuan Tan and I won't be very comfortable." Yuan Shang smiled bitterly.

Yuan Xi was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "Then third brother, let me ask you a question, and you answer me honestly." ”

Yuan Shang nodded, and Yuan Xi spoke: "If I handed everything over to you at the beginning, after you killed my eldest brother, would you do it to me, and if our identities were exchanged, would you be willing to help me?" ”

Yuan Shang didn't speak, just quietly looked at Cao Jun under the city, Yuan Xi understood, he leaned against the city wall and stopped talking.

For a long time, for a long time, Yuan Shang spoke: "Second brother, go to Bingzhou to join your cousin Gao Gan!" Bingzhou borders Yongzhou, and when the time comes, we can ask Ma Hong to resist Cao Cao together, if we continue to defend it, we will die here sooner or later. ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "I see." It's just that I really can't bear to let go, how hard it took my father to defeat Gongsun Zhan, and today we are going to give up this land. ”

"A lot of land."

"Yes, a very large piece of land, and there is the blood of countless soldiers on the ground."

"I was trampled under the feet of my Yuan family, so sooner or later we will take it back, and it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge!"

"Third brother, you're right."

Autumn comes with the sound of falling leaves, and the morning is as fresh as dewdrops. The sky glows softly, clear and ethereal, making one want to hear the singing of a high-flying lark, just as looking at the blue sea and thinking of a white sail.

Ma Hong led an army of 20,000 soldiers to the city of Wancheng, a city that meant a lot to him, and in this city, he met Li Wu, in this city he assassinated Cao Cao, and he used the poison of the plague on this city. Time has passed, and the traces left by him and Gan Ning's siege of the city are still there.

The significance of this city to Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang is not as great as Ma Hong, but for them, it is also a special place, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang once fought with Ma Hong here to fight wits Jia Xu, at that time the three of them combined to win Jia Xu, at that time they were still teenagers, and now Jia Xu is already dying, if you really want to compete, none of them is weaker than Jia Xu. Pang Tong also met Jia Xu's daughter Jia Ru here, the girl who likes to wear men's clothes.

Pang Tong touched his beard and looked at Wancheng, thoughtful in his heart.

Ma Hong smiled and said, "Why do you remember Jia Ru?" Guess whose wife she is now? ”

Pang Tong said lightly: "Time flies so fast! Jia Ru should be a pile of dry bones by now! ”

"What?" Ma Hong asked with some doubts.

Pang Tong touched his nose and said: "At the beginning, I wrote to Uncle Jia to ask him about Jia Ru's situation, and he told me that not long after he surrendered to Cao Cao, Jia Ru contracted an illness and died. ”

"Uncle Jia Xu is probably afraid that you will propose marriage! Is that what you say? Zhuge Liang asked.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "I thought so too, so I sent someone to check, but as Uncle Jia Xu said, Jia Ru is dead." ”

"Ugh! What a sad story! ”

"It sounds like a common story, who hasn't died in life? This woman who once oppressed me, I wanted to marry her and press her for decades, but I didn't expect that she would die, hey, what a sad story, so I forgot about her at that time, and when I saw the gate of this Wancheng today, I suddenly remembered her again. ”

"But I can't remember her face, you say it's ridiculous!"

Suddenly, I remembered her again! Ma Hong tried hard to recall the face of his lover in his previous life in his mind, but he couldn't remember it, he couldn't remember her face, hehe! It's ridiculous.

Lovers? What's that! What I want now is the whole world, and if I get the world, then the whole world is my woman!

"Teacher! There's no one in the city! ”

Deng Ai led his troops back and told Ma Hong, who was on horseback.

Ma Hong touched the Qinglong Sword, looked at Deng Ai's face carefully, and asked, "Are you sure there is no one?" ”

"Teacher, I'm sure." Deng Ai said.

"How suspicious! So don't trust your students? Pang Tong smiled.

Ma Hong shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but the last time I was in Sha Xian, I almost died in the hands of Zhao Yun, and I have a long memory." ”

Zhuge Liang's face trembled, and he said, "Senior brother, I really can't help it." ”

"Why do you say this, go into the city!"

Ma Hong rode his horse towards Wancheng.

Xun Yu and Xiahoudun decided to retreat without a fight, evacuate the soldiers and civilians in the city, take everything that can be taken, and burn everything that can't be taken.

"Anyway, I also renovated Wancheng back then, it's a pity!"

Ma Hong looked at this city with fireworks in his mouth, and walked slowly on his horse.

The bright moon that is not round is gradually rising to the sky, a transparent gray cloud, faintly covering the moonlight, the palace seems to be covered with a light smoke, there is a man sitting in the light smoke, if you look carefully, it will be surprising, Sun Quan is lying on the roof to watch the moon, at this moment the autumn rain is falling in Youzhou in the north, and Yangzhou is indeed the bright moon rising.

"Father, big brother, how far can I go?" Sun Quan stretched out his hand and grabbed the bright moon, smiling, his fingers did not close, as if the full moon was caught by him in the palm of his hand.

At this time, there was a sound of bricks and tiles, and a black shadow stood behind Sun Quan, who said without looking back: "How is it?" What did Shang Xiang say? ”

"Miss didn't say anything special? Just ......"

"Just what?"

"Miss said that Ma Hong has not yet had sex with Miss."

"Oh? Is it? Sun Quan snorted lightly and said, "This Ma Hong can really bear it, go back and tell Miss, let her learn more how to be a woman." ”

"Yes!" The shadow answered and disappeared from the roof.

Sun Quan sighed, lay on the roof, and said, "Hey! It's really a headache, and I haven't found Ma Hong's weakness yet. It is said that she is a good woman, but I am such a beautiful sister, she doesn't even sleep, and he really doesn't trust me! (To be continued.) )
