Jinyang City Heavenly Dynasty Imperial Palace.

Sun Shangxiang, a gorgeous concubine who was playing with her son Zhang Ying, who had just learned to walk, was still happy in the back garden, but her son was there, and her husband was the emperor of the dynasty, in her opinion, she had everything. And now the husband who has been worried has also sent back the news, defeated Rose, and is now returning triumphantly, presumably waiting to see the winner next will also be very happy.

"Miss." While Sun Shangxiang was still wandering in his fantasy, the voice of a maid sounded beside him.

The person who can be called Miss Sun Shangxiang instead of Concubine Hua Guifei, needless to say, must be the old man who came with Dongwu with her.

"Something." Seeing that the waitress looked a little nervous, Sun Shangxiang had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still handed Zhang Ying over to the maid on the side to take care of, and she herself walked over.

When she walked to a remote place, the maid who called her said a little nervously: "Miss, something is wrong, the second son was arrested by the Celestial Empire?" ”

"What? My little brother was arrested? Who was arrested, did the person have anything, what the hell is going on? Sure enough, when it came to something happening to her family, Sun Shangxiang was nervous. In this world, what she cares about most is naturally Zhang Chao and Zhang Di, followed by the Sun family of Soochow.

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but I got accurate information from a member of Tianyan, the second son was indeed arrested, as for whether he is dead or alive, or whether he is injured, I don't know." The maid kept shaking her head. She did get the news from a member of the Sky Eye, or because she was a little good-looking, and the man coveted her beauty and showed off what he said.

"I'll ask Lord Lu." In a hurry, Sun Shangxiang didn't think much about it, so he decided to go to Lu Su to ask for an understanding.

"No, eldest miss, I'm afraid that Lord Lu can't call the shots in such a thing, I don't think it's as good as this, the emperor is coming back soon, you might as well ask him for mercy." The maid grabbed Sun Shangxiang, who wanted to leave in a hurry, and put forward her opinion.

"But..."How Sun Shangxiang didn't know such a thing, it was difficult to find Lu Su to solve it, but at least she had to give it a try.

"There's nothing, eldest miss, as the second son, as long as there is still a breath of air, no one will dare to hurt him, and it doesn't hurt to wait." The maid whispered a suggestion.

"Okay." Sun Shangxiang thought about it, this is indeed the truth. If the younger brother is fine, no one will be able to do anything to him immediately, on the contrary, if there is something like this, it is useless to find anyone.

......

Yunnan County.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, which was built for two years, Zhuge Liang, who was holding a white goose feather fan, was listening to General Wang Ping talk about the war between Eastern Wu and the Celestial Empire.

After hearing the news that Sun Quan, the second prince of Eastern Wu, had been captured, his right hand, which was moving casually, suddenly paused, but soon returned to normal.

Zhuge Liang is very clear about the personality of Sun Jian, the king of Eastern Wu.

In his bones, this is a person who does not have much ambition and ambition, and the more such a person, the more he attaches importance to family affection. Now that his son has been arrested, he is likely to force him to give in, if so, I am afraid that the long-awaited war between Soochow and the Celestial Empire will come to an end, in that case, it is definitely not a good thing for them.

After Wang Ping finished speaking and got the information, he stepped aside. He admires Zhuge Liang very much, because it is this person who saved the Shu Kingdom, even if the lord Liu Bei was arrested, but the people's hearts are still not dispersed, and Liu Bei's son Liu Chan was also pushed to the throne, and as a person who turned the tide, he was also very respectful in the face of the little master, and he visited him every day.

Just by not crossing the way of monarchs and ministers, it is enough to make Wang Ping admire from the bottom of his heart. When the world is in turmoil, who has the power to fight and not support the army and stand on its own? But there are too few people like the prime minister.

didn't pay attention to Wang Ping's gaze towards him, or said that his heart was not on this at all, Zhuge Liang was now thinking more about the situation in front of him.

Since Liu Bei's defeat and capture, Zhuge Liang has taken on the lofty task of rebuilding Shu.

After Chengdu was occupied, Zhuge Liang led his army to withdraw to Yunnan County, where he began to reorganize his drums.

For more than two years, when Zhang Chao led the army to conquer the Rus' country, he was not idle, and captured the alien Meng Shu who was in the rear, so that he completely surrendered to himself and greatly increased his military strength. At the same time, they also have close ties with the Western Regions and Eastern Wu, just waiting for Zhang Chao to lose in the battle with the Rus, they can take the opportunity to rise up and regain the things they originally lost, and even if they can save Liu Bei, the lord of Canada, it is not impossible.

The plan is good, but what is unexpected is that the powerful Rus Kingdom was defeated and the Celestial Empire was victorious, and from this point, Zhuge Liang also had to admire Zhang Chao's military talent. But at the same time, he is also worried about the future, just as he learned about Sun Jian's personality, he will only study Zhang Chao more carefully.

This is a person with great ambitions, and such a person will never be willing to have other different voices under his influence. In other words, a war between the Celestial Empire and the Shu Kingdom is just a matter of time.

Originally, Dongwu was about to make a move, and Zhuge Liang still wanted to come to the mountains to watch the tiger fight, but now, Sun Quan's capture made his idea of looking at the moon in the water again.

"Inform Zhang Xiang to do it, no matter what, before the big war comes, we must also have enough space as a place to move." After thinking about it for a long time, Zhuge Liang finally spoke and instructed Wang Ping on the side.

"No." When Wang Ping heard this decision, he also knew that the situation had reached a state of great difficulty, this was a move they had buried for a long time, and they originally thought that they would use it at a critical time, but now they would use it in advance, so the situation is really critical.

Wang Ping turned around and went to do it, Zhuge Liang did not rest, but came to the huge map in the hall, his eyes were fixed on the area of Chengdu, and he didn't know what he was carefully muttering.

Using Zhang Xiang's chess piece, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to provoke Zhang Chao, in his heart, Zhuge Liang didn't want to do this, but now he is being pressed too tightly, Zhang Liao's Seventh Army Army is pressing, step by step, making their space for activities smaller and smaller. Maybe this person is waiting for news from Zhang Chao's side, once the army is victorious, when the army is sent to Shu, it will be time to finally see the victory.

And before that, Zhuge Liang still has some time, and he needs to recapture more cities for defense. At that time, even if the Celestial Empire army arrived, he would at least have the strength to resist.

In fact, the clever Zhuge Liang could have foreseen the final outcome of this battle, but he really had no other choice, which was doomed when he chose to help Liu Bei in the first place.

......

Yue Xi Cheng.

After several days of fighting, it was finally breached, and the Shu flag originally planted on the city was also pulled out and replaced with a large banner.

Zhang Liao, the commander of the Seventh Army Corps, stood on top of the city tower, with a look of excitement, and even he had a feeling that standing on this city tower, it seemed that he could see far away, and he could see the city of Yunnan City. It seems that the remnants of Shu can be trampled under the feet at any time.

For more than two years, Zhang Liao was responsible for dealing with Shu.

In the first year, he spent a great deal of energy to appease the old ministers and magnates of the Shu Kingdom who were originally in Chengdu.

In the second year, as the war situation in the Rus' Kingdom became clearer, the undercurrent there became less and less, and he finally began to attack Shu in the near future.

Yuexi City is the last city between Chengdu and Yunnan, and Zhang Liao occupies this place, which is equivalent to occupying the complete initiative.

The trend of attacking and retreating has been very obvious.

"Commander, it's getting late, put on your robes." A general with a loyal face stepped forward, holding an orange cloak that symbolized the position of the commander of the second-rank military attaché.

Seeing this person coming, the soldiers in charge of Zhang Liao's safety all retreated to the side, and they all knew each other, it was a deputy general named Zhang Xiang, who had saved Zhang Liao's army commander once on the battlefield, so he was highly valued, and was even considered a righteous brother by the army commander.

With such an identity, it was too easy to get close to Zhang Liao, so when he stepped forward, the soldiers didn't even have the most basic checks.

Zhang Liao noticed that it was Zhang Xiang who came over, his eyes just swept over, and he still had a good impression of this so-called righteous brother.

"Legion Commander, what about the prisoners in the city?" Not far away, another shout came, and the person who came was wearing a yellow robe and a resolute face, it was General Pang De, the first deputy commander of the Seventh Legion.

"Hmm..." Seeing that it was Pang De coming over, Zhang Liao's body naturally turned. This is the time. Zhang Xiang, who was holding an orange robe on the side, cheered himself up in his heart, and then took advantage of this time to suddenly raise his hand and hand a short dagger forward.

"Legion Commander be careful." Pang De, who was from far and near, was staring at Zhang Liao's body at this time, this scene could be said to be very real, and he couldn't help shouting first.

Under this shout, Zhang Liao also turned his body almost instinctively, and it was precisely because of this turn that the knife that should have been stabbed into the heart was stabbed next to the ribs of the chest, and blood overflowed at the moment.

"Protect the Legionnaire." The soldiers on the side finally realized that something was wrong, and rushed over with crazy shouts.

Zhang Xiang didn't stab Zhang Liao to death with a knife, knowing that there was no opportunity, so he turned around and fled at the moment. As he ran, he shouted, "Quickly pass the medical officer, quickly pass the medical officer." ”

People who don't know think he's going to the doctor? For a while, the soldiers guarding the city tower gave way to both sides, allowing Zhang Xiang to escape like this.
