It's May, and it's the blooming season of acacia flowers.

On the day of May 14, the direction of the east gate of Nanjing City was suddenly filled with heavy troops, and on the road that went straight, a column of soldiers lined up neatly on the left and right sides of the street in a line of captains, and all the way from the city to the east gate of the prefecture to the east gate for about ten miles, like a huge and straight long dragon, it looked quite majestic.

This rare scene aroused the onlookers of the surrounding people, because in their impression, since the completion of Nanjing City, there has only been one such battle, that is, when the disaster of Shanyue was completely quelled, when the Lord of Yangzhou Mulu led a cadre of civil and military ministers, put on a majestic guard of honor, and put the army out of the city ten miles to meet the heroes of Pingshanyue, Mr. Lu Su and General Shamoke.

And now, the people saw it again, which naturally aroused a strong curiosity in their hearts, and some of them were bold, so they came to those armor soldiers to ask what was going on.

"Mr. Lu Su and General Zhao captured Jiaozhou, and today the army returned to the city, and the lord was specially ordered to go out of the city ten miles to greet him!" In response to the people's inquiries, the armor soldiers replied without concealment, obviously it was not a secret.

"General Zhao captured Jiaozhou? He's amazing! ”

"General Lu's Sacred Heart of Benevolence, we are naturally victorious in a hundred battles!"

"Last year's defeat to Jingzhou was just a horse stumbling forward, in terms of real combat effectiveness, the Jingzhou Army is not the opponent of our Jiangdong Army at all!"

"General Zhao Yun must be a very powerful general under General Lu, and he will take all the land in one state in one year!"

Hearing that Jiangdong Erlang had won another victory, the people spontaneously cheered.

Although it is said that the fight is the world of the Han Dynasty, almost every state of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty has some different customs and customs, and there will always be some competitive relations, just like the various provinces in later generations, although they belong to the Celestial Empire externally, they will always say that they are from a certain province when they introduce themselves inside, which is very different.

After a series of governance by Lu An, Jiangdong has a very good situation, and these people are still living a good life, so they naturally have a strong sense of honor and identity for the political system represented by Lu An, and they think that the Jiangdong Army is their own army, so they are naturally very happy to hear that Fang has won a big victory.

At the Shiliguan crossing outside the city, Lu An himself has not arrived for the time being, and a series of civil and military forces in Jiangdong are being ordered to wait here for the return of the expeditionary force.

Attacking Jiaozhou is not more than Pingshanyue, Shanyue is a scourge of hundreds of years since the founding of the Han Dynasty, although it does not cause much harm to the Han Dynasty, but it is like a small ringworm is annoying, especially when they are all hiding in the deep mountains full of miasma, and Pingshan Yue is ten miles out of the city to greet it is also due.

Jiaozhou is different, it is located in a remote area, the personnel are scarce, and the defenders of the entire Jiaozhou do not know if there are 20,000, which is much easier than Pingshan in terms of difficulty, but Lu An still put down such a big battle to go out of the city to meet it, which has to make people feel a little more thoughtful, especially the main general Zhao Yun who attacked Jiaozhou was praised by the people like this, which made some colleagues who were also military generals feel a little unbalanced.

"Originally, Zhao Yun was unusually reused, and the lord made such a big pomp to greet him, this is deliberately to justify Zhao Yun's name!"

"Who said it wasn't, one Zhou Yu and one Zhao Yun, these two are definitely the fastest people in our Jiangdong Army!"

"Hey, the lord loves these two people, and we can't help it!"

In the waiting civil and military, I don't know who said something sourly, and then someone discussed it in twos and threes.

Sun Shao stood at the forefront of the civil officials, listening to everyone's endless discussions, his brows were furrowed, and he said: "Since Zhao Yun returned victorious, it shows that the lord's vision is unique, and Zhao Yun's achievements in Pingjiaozhou cannot be erased, in addition, our Jiangdong was defeated last year, and we also need to publicize a victory to inspire the people, you don't have to say more!" ”

Sun Shao is the oldest subordinate under Lu An, and now Lu An has given him the power to help deal with some government affairs, which can be described as a high authority, as soon as he opened his mouth, no one immediately said anything.

Everyone waited for a while, and there was no one in the position of Lu An at the front, and then someone couldn't help but say: "It's almost noon, the army should be back soon, why hasn't the lord arrived yet?" ”

"Not only the lord, but Mr. Fengxiao and Zhou Yu have not arrived!"

"The lord estimates that there is a delay, so he should come over immediately, and Lord Zhou Yu specially ordered him to only train the navy, and everything else can be left alone!" Zhang Zhao said and rolled his eyes: "As for Guo Fengxiao, he has always been extremely lazy, if he can, he will not move, and he will definitely not come today!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were speechless for a while, this Guo Fengxiao is simply a wonder in the Jiangdong army, except for the things on the military strategy, everything else doesn't matter, but the lord's weight on him, no one in the entire Jiangdong can compare.

、、、、

Between the discussions, Lu An was in a dilemma at this time, it stands to reason that he is the overlord of Jiangdong, only he has the share of embarrassment for others, and no one else can embarrass him, but now he is indeed in a dilemma, because he is embarrassed by a woman, to be exact, a girl, a girl he knows.

"Miss Shangxiang, is there anything wrong with you stopping my car?" Looking at the girl in the middle of the road, Lu An asked with a fairly soft smile.

"Come here, I have something to tell you!" Sun Shangxiang looked at the guards around Lu An and said with a straight face.

"Okay!" Lu An hesitated for a moment, then jumped off Feiyun, walked in front of her, and said gently, "Can you say it now?" ”

Looking at Lu An's handsome face, Sun Shangxiang's face turned red for no reason, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you go to my eldest brother to propose marriage?" ”

"Huh?" Lu An's mouth grew up, and it felt a little sudden.

"You won't forget what you said, I've been waiting for you for months!" Looking at Lu An's surprised look, Sun Shangxiang frowned and asked.

"I 、、、、、!" Lu An only remembered the beautiful misunderstanding at this time, the conscience of heaven and earth, in fact, what he said at that time was always Zhen Mi, but Sun Shangxiang himself misunderstood, and now this bold bow-waisted Ji actually came directly to stop his car, but what Lu An couldn't figure out was that this little girl looked so beautiful, and he hadn't seen her a few times, why did she fall into the arms of a moth to a fire.

"What do you want to say? Don't you want to marry me? Looking at Lu An's pause appearance, the smart Sun Shangxiang seemed to have guessed something, and asked nervously.

"No, nothing like that!" In the face of a beautiful woman with a beautiful country, where did Lu An say anything to hurt her, she could only do her way.

"Then why haven't you come to me since the Chinese New Year!" Sun Shangxiang said with some grievances. She waited happily for so long, but this person didn't even have a letter in the end, and he was in a high position, Sun Shangxiang didn't want to bother out of a girl's self-esteem, and it wasn't until he traveled today that she put down all her reserve and ran over to ask what was going on.

"Huh!" Lu An was thinking about his words, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, so he said: "Actually, I'm afraid that it is not appropriate for me to find someone to come to the door to propose marriage." ”

"What's inappropriate?"

"Do you think, your eldest brother used to be my enemy, but now that he is defeated, he has been screaming with me, not even a word of convincing, you say that I am a state pastor, if I go to your eldest brother in this situation, won't I let others say that I have no character and majesty?" Lu An said righteously.

"That's right, you are a prince, if my eldest brother doesn't bow to you, but lets you come to the door, others will definitely look down on you." Listening to Lu An's seemingly absurd reason, Sun Shangxiang actually believed it, she thought about it slightly, and then made up her mind: "When I go back, I will persuade my eldest brother to find you, indicating that he will lose to you, so that you will not be embarrassed." ”

"Your eldest brother is so strong, how could he come to me on his own initiative?" Lu An shook his head and said.

"If he doesn't come, I'll mess with him every day at home!" Sun Shangxiang wrinkled her little nose and looked coquettish.

"Khan!" Lu An sweated profusely, and couldn't help but imagine Sun Ce's embarrassing situation of being made big by his own sister.

"Then I'll go back to my eldest brother, you remember what you said." Sun Shangxiang knew that Lu An came out with the guards to do business, and after getting the answer he wanted, he didn't want to bother him anymore, and he was a little reluctant.

Lu An's eyes swept Sun Shangxiang's pretty face and delicate little waist, and finally nodded slightly: "I remember, Xiangxiang, if you want, then please wait for me for a few months, I may have to go on the expedition in a while, and when I come back from the expedition, whether your eldest brother comes to look for me or not, I will marry you!" ”

Such a beautiful beauty has the heart to support him, if he still pretends to push him out, then it will be too hypocritical, the country and the beauty have a never-fading temptation for any man, and Lu An is no exception.

"Good!" seemed to hear the sincerity in Lu An's words, Sun Shangxiang's delicate little face showed a delicate smile like a flower, and she actually kissed Lu An on the cheek on the street, and then ran away with a little shyness, her steps were still like a man, but the small waist was twisted and twisted, giving people countless charms.

"Let's go!" Looking at Sun Shangxiang's figure gradually moving away, and the faint body fragrance left by the girl could still be smelled in the air, Lu An actually felt a little dry mouth, he forcibly settled his mind, and then turned his head and rode on Feiyun, beckoning the guards to march outside the city again, if it was delayed any longer, this time the personal welcome army back to the city would be a joke.
