The night wind struck, and in the tent, the old general held the information he had received three days ago, and he had been reading it for more than half an hour, and the suspicious expression on his face appeared from time to time, showing the uneasy emotions in his heart.

He clenched his fists suddenly, the green tendons on the back of his rough hand protruded, boiling blood flowed in it, and between his eyes, the intent of killing suddenly appeared, and he slammed his fist violently.

Syllable!

The sound of anger echoed in the empty tent, and then, the clenched fist was released again, and the killing intent that had just surged up quickly subsided, and after a long time, he sighed, shook his head and sighed.

It was late at night, and he was bored in his heart, so he got up and walked out of the tent, looking up at the night sky, when the stars were brilliant.

This starry sky reminded him of the distant past.

It was more than 20 years ago, when he was already in the twilight of his fifties, and he just wanted to keep the border years for the country for a few more years, and then he got a knighthood and returned to the field, but he was left alive. But he didn't want to, the Qianghu tribe in the north rebelled, kidnapped himself and established himself as the commander, beheaded the Jincheng Taishou, and since then divided one side.

For more than ten years after that, he fought against the imperial army as a traitor, and no matter how the Central Plains changed, he always held the power of Xiliang. And in those years of blood and fire, he met his old friend Ma Teng, although they once turned against each other and fought each other.

Now, twenty years have passed, the melee in the Central Plains has ended, Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Yuan Shao, who had won him over back then, have all passed away with the wind, and the world is about to return to Cao, and he is only the largest of the more than ten warlords in Guanzhong.

The old friend Ma Teng had had enough of the years of fighting, returned to the imperial court, and took the family to Xu Capital to enjoy the blessings, leaving him to be dying and old in Xiliang, at this moment, he felt really lonely.

It's old, it's really old, this old bone can't be beaten anymore, in a few years, I will also leave my subordinates to my son, and go to Xu Du to find Ma Teng, that old guy to enjoy happiness together.

This was Han Sui's wishful thinking before, but right now, this information in his hand disrupted his dream.

In March, Cao Ying ordered Zhong Xuan, the lieutenant of Sili, to prepare for a crusade against Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and ordered Xiahou Yuan to go out of Hedong and prepare to enter Guanzhong to join Zhong Xuan and attack Hanzhong together.

It seems to be just a simple military operation, but the conspiracy in it can't escape Han Sui's old eyes.

With Cao Ying's skill in using troops, how could he tolerate the existence of a strong and unstable Mahan group in Guanzhong behind him when his army penetrated deep into the dangerous places of Hanzhong and Bashu.

Obviously, Cao Ying is planning to attack them, the warlords of Guanzhong, if they are ignored, once Cao Ying's Central Plains army crosses Tongguan and smoothly enters the Guanzhong Plain, the consequences will be unimaginable.

That's Cao Ying who killed Lu Bu, killed Yuan Shao, and defeated Liu Bei!

War, the proton sent to Xudu is dead, and there is no certainty of victory, no fight, can only sit and wait for destruction.

In a dilemma, Han Sui looked up to the sky and sighed, and when the clenched hand was released again, it was already a sweat in the palm of his hand.

Just when Han Sui was in a hurry, a personal soldier hurriedly came and whispered with a solemn expression: "General, General Ma Mengqi asks to see you." ”

Han Sui's expression moved, and he said in his heart: "Meng Qi came to visit late at night, I think it is also for the matter of Cao Yingbing's entry into Guanzhong, I and the Ma family are the biggest princes in Guanzhong, and this important matter is indispensable to discuss with him about countermeasures." ”

"What are you still doing in a daze, please ask Meng Qi to come in."

Han Sui returned to the tent and sat down, sorted out his emotions, and tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor on his old face.

After a while, with the sound of calm and hurried footsteps, a person strode in.

What a heroic young general he was, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like meteors, his tiger body and ape arms, his belly and wolf's waist, coupled with the lion helmet and beast belt, exuded a strong masculinity all over his body, which made people feel a feeling of blood boiling when they saw it.

Jinma Super!

How many times did he see this young nephew, Han Sui couldn't help but think in his heart: How good it would be if I could have such a lion, I don't have to be so old and still working the battlefield, I have already left the family business to my son, and I learned from Ma Teng's guy to go to Xudu to retire.

Ma Chaoda stepped inside, bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, Cao Ying is going to attack our Guanzhong princes, uncle, you can still sit still!" ”

Ma Chao is really Ma Chao, his surname is straightforward, he doesn't beat around the bush at all, and directly picks out his intentions.

Han Sui stroked his gray beard and nodded slightly, and said, "It seems that Meng Qixian's nephew has also received the news, and the old man is also worried about this matter, and he is trying to discuss with his nephew how to deal with it." ”

Ma Chao's silver robe shook off, and he said angrily: "What else is there to discuss, Cao Lao thief wants to seize our territory, but there is no door!" Chao came here to ask his uncle and Chao to call on all the princes in Guanzhong to oppose his mother together! ”

Ma Chao's arrogance shocked Han Sui, and he rose up, and wanted to blurt out with his bold words in a boxing case, but the words changed when they came to his mouth.

"It's easy to rebel, it's just that your father and brothers, as well as the old man's sons, are all hostages in Xudu, and our rebellion has not forced them to a dead end."

Ma Chao snorted coldly and said categorically: "Since ancient times, those who have become great things do not care about their families, if the foundation of Guanzhong is gone, not only will they have to die, but we will have no way to live, rather than this, it is better to fight for ourselves!" ”

Ma Chao seemed to be cold words, but he was deeply infected by Han Sui, and the murderous aura on his hesitant face was gradually surging.

"What Meng Qi said is good, all the heroes are destroyed, how can Cao Ying allow me to live alone, it is not a dead end, but if not, there is still a chance to live."

Ma Chao saw that Han Sui's fighting spirit was getting stronger, and suddenly knelt down on one knee, looked at Han Sui is bow, and said admittedly: "Uncle, if you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it." If you raise an army against Cao, you should abandon your father and brother, and your uncle should also abandon your children, and you are willing to worship your uncle as your father. ”

Ma Chao suddenly wanted to worship Han Sui as his father, and even vowed to compete with Cao Ying for the world, at this moment, Han Sui was not only surprised, but the iron-clad ambition buried in the layers of annual rings seemed to be awakened by the Xiliang lion in front of him.

Suddenly, the gaze was resolute.

Han Sui got up, stepped forward a few steps to help Ma Chao up, stroked his back and said: "If I can get Meng Qi as a son, what am I afraid of Han Sui." Okay, since Cao Ying doesn't give us a way to live, then let's work together with father and son, and fight with him to break the net! It's the other way around! ”

The northwest is stormy, and the rain in the south of the Yangtze River is soft.

At this moment, in the Wangjiang Pavilion, condescendingly looking at the scenery of the Yangtze River in the smoke and rain, I am afraid that a few people are happy and a few people are worried.

"Miss Sun, be careful if you catch a cold, put this on."

Fang Shao took off his coat and put it on Sun Shangxiang, who was wet with rain, his movements were gentle and gentlemanly, and his expression was full of care.

Since they met, Fang Shao's attitude towards Sun Shangxiang has always been "polite", more precisely, respectful and away, but he didn't want to snub her, and today he suddenly offered to accompany her to enjoy the scenery of Jiangling in person.

Along the way, he talked and laughed, coaxing himself to be happy from time to time, and when he suddenly suffered from heavy rain, when he hid in this Wangjiang Pavilion, he took off his shirt again, and put on his clothes so gently, such a caring and delicate attitude, it was like two people in the past, Sun Shangxiang was surprised, and his heart couldn't help but be warm and sweet.

"Why are you so kind to me all of a sudden?" Sun Shangxiang really didn't understand the reserve of her daughter's family, so she asked so bluntly.

Fang Shao was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Miss Sun has a friendship with Shao, how can Shao not know that Shao is not a cold-blooded person." ”

Sun Shangxiang felt a burst of joy in his heart, and decisively threw himself into Fang Shao's arms, hugged his neck and said delicately: "I knew that you would definitely change your mind." ”

Holding jade in his arms, touching her body so closely, how could Fang Shao not be moved. And she is so enthusiastic and unrestrained, with such a surname, but it is so intimate and familiar to herself, a man who has traveled from modern times.

In a trance, Fang Shao seemed to have returned to the distant future, and the chaotic rivers and mountains outside the fog were just a dream. So, he couldn't help but reach out and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Outside the pavilion, the rain was dashing, the mountain breeze caressed, and the wet hair swayed in the wind.

I don't know how long it took, Sun Shangxiang straightened up violently, and said to him excitedly: "Zhongzheng, come back to Jiangdong with me, with your talent and my identity, my second brother will definitely reuse you, and the glory and wealth will be endless." ”

Fang Shao woke up from his trance and remembered his original purpose.

He took a deep breath and temporarily freed his reason from the desire of men and women, and then he sighed softly and said, "Miss, what you think is too simple, I am just a mere business, even if Wu Hou will reuse me, he will never marry Miss to me." Besides, my Shao is already a man with a wife, and Liu Yuanjun and Mr. Kong Ming treat me well, if I abandon him like this, I will be an unfaithful and unrighteous person, and I will be laughed at by the people of the world, and I don't want to live in the eyes of others for the rest of my life.

Sun Shangxiang's surname is rough, but her nerves are not coarse, how could she not know the reason in Fang Shao's words, so she had to ask impatiently: "Then what should I do?" ”

Fang Shao pretended to ponder for a long time, and Fang said: "It's better to go back to Jiangdong with Miss and give Shao a few years of peace of mind, and when Shao helps my family master build a meritorious career, then go to Wu Hou to propose marriage, and then the Liu and Sun families will be reconciled, and I will also be famous, Wu Hou will naturally not refuse again." ”

Although Sun Shangxiang was extremely reluctant to part with him in his heart, after thinking about it, this was the only way, which was a hundred times better than saying goodbye and never seeing each other again.

Fang Shao was relieved again, Sun Shangxiang hesitated for a long time, and finally had to nod helplessly in agreement.

Fang Shao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at this moment, the mountain rode in the rain, and rushed to the outside of the pavilion in a moment, but it was the soldiers from his own mansion who came.

"Is there something urgent about Madame?" Fang Shao thought that Zhuge Rong couldn't rest assured that he and Sun Shangxiang were alone, so he hurriedly sent someone to urge them to go back.

The soldier wiped the rain from his face, gasped and said, "It's not Madame, it's the lord who sent someone to urgently summon the lord to discuss the matter." ”

Fang Shao's expression was stunned, and he secretly thought: "Isn't it true that the warlords of Guanzhong have rebelled?" ”
