Two days later, Liu Bei gave Fang Shao a positive reply to the envoy of Eastern Wu, and then decided on the marriage of Fang Shao and Sun Shangxiang.

Three days later, the two sides began to withdraw their troops according to the agreed plan, and the battle for Jingzhou came to an end.

Although the marriage between the two has been decided, according to the number of etiquette, Sun Shangxiang still needs to return to Dongwu to wait for some time, and when the good day is auspicious, Fang Shao can go to Dongwu to marry her in person.

In the afternoon of this day, after a heavy rain, the temperature plummeted, and Soochow's boat was already docked by the river, so Fang Shao personally sent Sun Shangxiang on board.

The two rode side by side, but they didn't say anything all the way. Although they have to separate again, this time Sun Shangxiang is not a little melancholy, the big thing has been decided, and she has a shallow smile on her face from beginning to end.

However, Fang Shao was preoccupied, thinking that although marrying Sun Shangxiang was simple, he would face a more complicated relationship later, and he was about to face it, which was both a happy event and an annoyance.

When they arrived at the wharf, they looked forward to it, but they saw that countless warships were sailing away from the water village and going upstream against the river, which was their own men and horses were fulfilling the agreement to withdraw troops, and the first batch of men and horses had already set off for Yizhou.

"Fang Lang, I'm going back, don't you have anything to tell me?" Before boarding the boat, Sun Shangxiang felt a little reluctant, and couldn't help but ask.

The tangled face on Fang Shao's face dissipated, revealing a little smile, and said, "Then please take care of Miss all the way." ”

Sun Shangxiang looked a little disappointed, and pouted: "Seeing you like this, it seems that you want me to leave quickly." ”

Fang Shao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "How can it be, I want Miss to go back safely as soon as possible, and I can also choose a good day to marry Miss earlier." ”

Sun Shangxiang was satisfied, his face turned cloudy to clear, and he said with a smile: "This is like words, then I will go back to Jianye first, I will wait for you." ”

With that, she jumped on the boat, the sails were raised, and by the wind and the current, she quickly left the dock and looked downstream, while Sun Shangxiang stood by the side of the boat and waved goodbye to him vigorously.

Fang Shao also immediately waved his hand slightly at her, until the boat was getting farther away, and the people and the boat became blurred shadows, and they could no longer see clearly, but Fang Shao was still waving there in a trance.

"Sir, Miss Sun has already gone away." Ah Shan, a close companion beside him, muttered quietly.

"Oh." Fang Shao came back to his senses at this time.

Seeing Fang Shao's preoccupied appearance, Ah Shan asked cautiously, "Sir, aren't you worried about how to tell our wife about this after you go back?" ”

Fang Shao was stunned for a moment, then flew up and kicked Ah Shan's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, your brain is getting more and more slippery, and you have begun to think about Mr.'s family affairs." ”

Ah Shan sighed, covered his ass and sneered: "How dare the little one, isn't it that Mr. teaches the little one, you have to use your brain more in everything." ”

Fang Shao said: "Then you tell me, sir, how should I deal with Madame?" ”

Ah Shan squinted and pondered for a long time, and said: "In my opinion, Mr. doesn't have to worry at all, it's not a big deal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, our wife is a beautiful lady, knowledgeable and virtuous, she will definitely not say anything." ”

Fang Shao slapped a palm on the back of his head, and sighed with a smile: "Boy, if you want to use your brain, you are still very pink, continue to work hard." Let's go back to my lord. ”

Fang Shao dialed the horse and left first, Ah Shan was stunned, his eyes rolled a few times, and then he raised his sleeve and sniffed it between his nose a few times, and said to himself blankly: "What kind of powder, where can I be a big man to apply what powder, strange ......"

When they came to the camp and entered the Chinese military tent, they saw Liu Bei and Pang Tonghe discussing something, and their expressions seemed to be very excited.

Fang Shao stepped forward and said, "Lord, Miss Sun has been sent away safely." ”

Liu Bei suppressed his excitement for the time being, and said with a smile: "That's good, Zhongzheng, it's just a little farewell, don't worry too much, and after a while, you can marry her back again." ”

Fang Shao smiled helplessly and said: "Don't laugh at Shao, Shao, Shao is just a big plan for the two families, as for personal thoughts, Shao Shi has never thought about it." ”

Fang Shao's words were obviously insincere, and Liu Bei didn't think so, and said: "I also saw the surname of this tyrant back then, Zhongzheng, this matter is really embarrassing for you, and we all see your merits." ”

After this toss, Fang Shao first came to solve Sun Shangxiang's matter, and secondly, he made a contribution to Liu Bei, it is really not a loss, the only thing to do is to return to Yizhou, in front of Zhuge Liang and his wife, and perform this involuntary play again.

Fang Shao didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he changed the topic and asked: "Lord, now that the war in Jingzhou has come to an end, I'm afraid that there will be no more turmoil for a long time, I don't know when the lord plans to leave for Sichuan?" ”

Liu Bei handed a letter to Fang Shao and said, "I originally wanted to stay in Jingzhou for a few more days, but I just received an urgent report from the Kong Ming army from Chengdu, it seems that we must leave for Yizhou immediately." ”

Fang Shao read the letter, and his face couldn't help but show excitement, it turned out that Kong Ming wrote two things on the letter, one was that the Brazilian Taishou Pang Xi decided to surrender, and the second thing was that Ma Chao raised troops in Xiliang and regained momentum.

Before the former Liu Bei left Sichuan, he had already made a date with Zhang Lu to attack Pang Xi, divided the land, and ordered Zhang Fei to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to the southern border of Brazil County. Zhang Zhongji, then sent Yang Ren and other generals to lead more than 30,000 Hanzhong soldiers to invade Brazil from the north, attack the city and plunder the land, and won many victories. So, Pang Xi was afraid of the danger of being attacked on both sides, and in desperation, he sent people to Chengdu to express his willingness to submit to Liu Bei.

The latter Ma Chao was defeated in the previous army, and the elite was lost, but taking advantage of the opportunity of Cao Ying's return to Hebei, after more than a year of rest and recuperation, he took advantage of the end of November, borrowed the troops of Qiang and Di to revert to Xingguo, and led Zhurong to attack Longshang, and all the counties and counties in Longshang were afraid of Ma Chao's majesty, and all of them looked forward to the wind and surrendered, only Liangzhou Zhizhi Jicheng held on to it. As a result, Ma Chao annexed all the armies in Longshang and led a large army to besiege Jicheng.

Without waiting for Fang Shao to express his opinion, Liu Bei said: "Zhongzheng, Pang Xi's submission is completely in line with your original strategy of killing people with a knife, and now I don't need to spend a single soldier to get Brazil, you are indispensable." ”

Pang Xi's submission, Fang Shao did not feel much surprise, because the result of the whole thing itself was obtained by him based on his analysis of historical results. In the face of Liu Bei's praise, Fang Shaosui said lightly: "Pang Xi's submission is reasonable, but the lord should be most happy is Ma Chao's army, this Xiliang lion, this can create an excellent opportunity for the lord to capture Hanzhong." ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "This is also the reason why the lord is happy." Now that Ma Chao has raised troops, Xiahou Yuan in Guanzhong will be tired by the Xiliang war, and he will have no time to take care of Hanzhong, and Cao Ying will be restrained by Sun Quan in Hefei, and it will be difficult to return to the West for a while. ”

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement, and said: "Yes, originally I wanted to stay in Jingzhou for a few more days, just wait for Zhongzheng to marry Miss Na Sun, and then return to Sichuan together after drinking your wedding wine, but now I'm afraid I can't wait." ”

Fang Shao immediately said: "The state affairs are big, and since there is such a good opportunity, Na Shao should put aside his personal affairs and rush back to Yizhou with the lord." ”

Liu Bei said apologetically: "It's just that if you follow me back to Sichuan, I'm afraid that this marriage will drag on for a while, otherwise you will stay first, and it will not be too late to return to Sichuan after the marriage." ”

Attacking Hanzhong is such a major event, among which there must be many good opportunities for meritorious service, Fang Shaoyan can miss it, so he hurriedly said: "Wu Hou is tired of the war in Hefei, I am afraid that I can't take care of this marriage for a while, Shao stayed in Jingzhou Shiyou** is just waiting, it is better to return to Sichuan with the lord first, so as to make some meager efforts for the lord's strategy of attacking Hanzhong." ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "That's fine, the terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous, and it is not easy to capture it, and I also need Zhongzheng to give advice from the side." ”

After making a plan, Liu Bei left Guan Yu and other original team to guard Jingzhou, and transferred Guan Ping to Lukou, and then took Huang Zhong, Meng Da and other generals, as well as 70,000 or 80,000 troops from Yizhou, and rushed to Yizhou under the stars.

The Zhuge family has a wide range of contacts in Jingxiang, and what happened in Jingzhou was reported back to Chengdu from time to time, so when Liu Bei's army was still on the way back to Sichuan, the results of the Lukou peace conference had already arrived in Chengdu first.

And Zhuge Rong also learned for the first time that her husband had an incredible engagement with Sun Shangxiang, and it was proposed by Sun Quan, Marquis of Wu, and it was decided by the lord Liu Bei.

Zhuge Rong's first reaction was shock, she didn't know the specific details, so of course she couldn't figure out what kind of drama story would happen in the middle of a war of blood and fire to promote this marriage!

She originally thought that she and Fang Shao moved from Jingzhou to Chengdu, thousands of miles away from Dongwu, even if Sun Shangxiang thought about her husband, there was no way to get involved, but now the result is that her rival in love is going to live under the same roof with her in the blink of an eye, sharing the favor of the same husband.

Zhuge Rong felt the crisis, so on the day she heard the news, she hurried to Zhuge Liang's mansion to seek help from her cousin.

Unexpectedly, after Zhuge Liang heard her complaints, instead of worrying about her, he laughed out loud.

Zhuge Rong was immediately displeased, and said with a gloomy face: "Brother A Liang, your sister is going to be bullied to the head, how can you still be in the mood to laugh." ”

Zhuge Liang restrained his smile, shook the feather fan and said: "Little sister, you are only in a hurry now, why are you not in a hurry when Chu Zhongzheng and Miss Sun were ambiguous." ”

Zhuge Rong was stunned and said in surprise: "What, could it be that Brother Ah Liang already knew?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked smug and said: "I am acting for the lord's military and political affairs, and Zhongzheng is a very important figure in the lord's mansion, how can I not pay attention to what he does." In fact, Zhongzheng is extraordinary, and he is handsome, and it is normal for Miss Sun to think about him, and I have heard about this matter as early as when he was on his mission to Soochow.

Zhuge Rong suddenly realized, and couldn't help complaining: "Since you already knew, why didn't you say it earlier, now that the wood is in the boat, how can you call my sister me." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously and said, "Little sister, you don't have to worry, according to your brother Liang's opinion, the marriage between Zhongzheng and Miss Na Sun will probably not be successful in the end." ”
