More than ten days after Liu Dan returned to Changsha, Sun Xiang quietly came to Changsha and brought a letter from Sun Jian.

The letter didn't say much, but simply agreed to his marriage to Sun Xiang, hoping that Liu Dan could remember Sun Xiang's feelings and let Sun Jian's family go.

Liu Dan and Sun Xiang said goodbye, and the two sighed a lot.

It's just that Sun Xiang still can't accept that Liu Dan is his brother's sworn enemy.

Liu Dan and Sun Jian don't have any deep hatred, so Sun Jian asked Sun Xiang to come back to complete the "agreement" between the two, which is also a gesture of goodwill.

Immediately, Liu Dan handed over the ancient ingot knife to Sun Ce personally, and then ordered Dian Wei to lead his troops to send all the Sun family out of Changsha City.

Liu Dan stood at the head of the city and looked at the team in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He thought that by detaining the people of the Sun family, he would be able to force Sun Jian to comply.

But the moment Sun Xiang appeared with his letter, he knew that Sun Jian would not surrender to him even if he died.

In desperation, Liu Dan could only return the people of the Sun family, after all, it was more than worth the loss to provoke such a difficult macho man in the early stage.

Liu Dan looked at the team in the distance in a daze, and suddenly Sun Xiang walked quickly to the city.

"I guess you're right here......"

Hearing this, Liu Dan turned to look at Sun Xiang in surprise.

"Why didn't you go with the group?"

It turned out that in order to fulfill Sun Xiang, Liu Dan promised to let her leave with the Sun family.

Although Sun Xiang was very reluctant to Liu Dan, he also had feelings for him.

But she can't get over the hurdle in her heart for the time being.

"Ahren, let me leave this to you......"

As he spoke, Sun Xiang handed a wood carving ornament to Liu Dan.

This was specially carved by a craftsman according to Sun Ren's appearance.

Liu Dan took the finger-sized head and laughed.

"It's kind of like her, this girl isn't crying now, is she?"

Sun Xiang couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

"Why don't you cry, she can't bear you now!"

"But I have this ......"

As he spoke, Sun Xiang took out another finger-length woodcut puppet.

This time, the appearance of the puppet is seven or eight points similar to Liu Dan, and it is carved according to his appearance.

Seeing this, Liu Dan slowly shook his head helplessly, and then said earnestly.

"Actually, you don't have to leave, let your eldest brother stay and help me......"

Only halfway through the words, Sun Xiang shook his head vigorously.

"Impossible, with my brother's character, he definitely won't stay......"

Speaking of this, Sun Xiang's brows couldn't help frowning, and a very embarrassed expression rose.

"That...... Since you have agreed to put it in, it is better to ...... Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang."

Sun Xiang knew that what she said was a bit of an inch, which would make Liu Dan very embarrassed.

But she still wanted to give it a try, because these people were Sun Jian's right-hand men.

Liu Dan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He understood that this simple woman just wanted to help his brother.

"Then you can take it with you later, and count it as a parting gift from me."

Sun Xiang's face didn't show the slightest smile when she heard this, on the contrary, her heart suddenly chuckled for some reason.

From this moment on, Sun Xiang knew that Liu Dan had paid off his love.

"Okay, thank you Liu Taishou."

Sun Xiang's words suddenly became cold, which made Liu Dan feel a little inexplicable.

Isn't this gift still a gift?

Sure enough, a woman's heart is like a needle under the sea!

In Liu Dan's heart, Sun Xiang touched her tears and turned around and ran down the city.

Soon after, Sun Xiang took Cheng Pu and a few people to gallop out of Changsha City, chasing the departing feet of the Sun family.

After these people left Changsha, they said that Liu Dan completely controlled Changsha County.

Liu Dan in line with the idea of training elite soldiers and storing more grain, began to develop drastically in Changsha County.

After two years of hard work, Changsha's economic tax revenue has tripled, and the value of grain output has doubled.

During this period, Liu Dan also made friends with heroes and celebrities in the vicinity.

Pan Hui, the representative of the Pan family in Hanshou County, Wuling County, and Jiang Yu from Xiangxiang County, Lingling County, went to seek refuge with Liu Dan.

Jiang Yu was appointed as the envoy of Changsha, and Pan Hui was appointed as the governor of Changsha.

It is worth mentioning that the Jiang family and the Pan family are in-laws, and Jiang Yu is Jiang Wan's father, and Pan Hui is Pan Jun.

It was after Liu Dan learned the news that he spared no effort to bring the two under his command.

Changsha is located in the area of Jingnan, which is a remote area.

Therefore, during Liu Dan's year, he also attracted the support of these two clans.

Most of the powerful Jingzhou clans are in the four relatively rich cities and counties of Xiangyang, Nanjun, Nanyang, and Jiangxia.

So, Liu Dan moved the idea of changing places.

Because of Liu Dan's chaotic relationship, Dong Zhuo was in charge of Luoyang for a longer time than in history.

During this period, although he was still flying and domineering, it had not yet developed to the point of common anger between man and god.

Therefore, Liu Dan ordered someone to go to Luoyang to send him a letter.

The general content of this letter is, I have spent enough time in Changsha, and I want to go to Xiangyang to be a taishou.

If you agree, I'll walk over happily with you.

If you don't agree, I'll take my soldiers all the way north.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had just supported Wang Rui to become the assassin of Jingzhou, and he didn't want Liu Dan to jump out and make trouble at this time.

So, Dong Zhuo pretended to make a decree to Wang Rui and Liu Dan in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The general meaning of this will is that the imperial court transferred Liu Dan to Xiangyang Taishou, hoping that the two can cooperate wholeheartedly.

But Wang Rui had a separate will on his side, and that was Dong Zhuo's hint that he would find a way to solve Liu Dan's trouble.

After Wang Rui received Dong Zhuo's order, he immediately began to lay it out.

To kill a powerful figure like Liu Dan, there must be a justifiable reason.

On the other side, Liu Dan once again asked Zhuge Xuan to replace himself as the Taishou of Changsha, and ordered Wei Yan to be the governor of Changsha and lead 6,000 troops to garrison Changsha County.

In addition, Liu Dan secretly found a cautious and serious person among the pro-soldiers, and made him the shopkeeper of Changsha Meixianglou.

Since then, Meixianglou has become the base of Liu Dan's secret agent.

After arranging everything safely, Liu Dan said goodbye to Zhuge Xuan and Wei Yan, and began to go north with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou.

When passing through Jiangling, Liu Dan specially went into the city to meet Liu Fan, and picked up Ren Ying and went to Xiangyang together.

The Meixianglou in Jiangling was still handed over to a cronie to preside over and became the base of Liu Dan's secret agents in the Jiangling area.

In February 188, Liu Dan led an army of 10,000 to the border of Xiangyang.

Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, led more than 30 officials of all sizes out of the city to greet him, which can be described as extremely enthusiastic!

But as soon as the two met, Wang Rui threw Liu Dan a big problem.

When the two were having a good conversation, Cai Mao, the governor of Xiangyang, suddenly went up to interject and report the military situation.

"Lord Assassin Shi, Jiangnan Sect thieves are rampant, Jiangxia is too guarded by Liu Biao alone, I implore your lord to send troops to support quickly!"

Cai Mao said this to Wang Rui, but her eyes always glanced at Liu Dan intentionally or unintentionally.

In an instant, Liu Dan understood what he meant, and also understood that this matter was definitely not as simple as a coincidence.

Wang Rui, Wang Rui, just now we met, were you in a hurry to set up Lao Tzu?
