Chapter 227 Sun Ce's Confidence, the Elite(1/2)
After taking the letter, Man Chong turned around.
After taking two steps, Man Chong turned back again, hesitated and said, "I don't know if I should talk about it or not."
"But it's okay!" Xun Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Man Chong.
"Lingjun, in recent days, I found that Dong Cheng had a close relationship with many ministers in the court, such as the lieutenant Wang Zifu, Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan, Shizhong Zhongji, etc.."
Man Chong looked a little worried. The few people's actions have indeed happened frequently recently, and they often met and had long talks at various banquets.
Upon hearing this, Xun Yu raised his eyebrows and looked a little solemn, "Bo Ning knows what they are talking about?"
Xun Yu is Cao Cao's right-hand man, and he must be more vigilant than everyone in this situation, because Xuchang cannot be misunderstood.
"I don't know that Xuchangwei has not been able to investigate for the time being." Man Chong lowered his head and said with some guilt.
Xun Yu's eyes were full of contemplation, and after a while, he spoke: "In this way, you can arrange for Xuchang Weidu to pay attention to the movements of these people. If necessary, you can use soldiers to surround their mansion."
"No!" Man Chong was affirmed and walked away.
Looking at Man Chong's departure, Xun Yu fell into deep thought. After a long time, Xun Yu shouted to the outside of the mansion: "Come here, prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace to meet the saint."
......
Wujun, Wuxian.
Wujun is now the foundation of the Sun family.
The Sun Mansion is magnificent and majestic.
In the wing room of the mansion, I saw a woman dressed in a capable manner, her dark red waist outlined her slender waist. Her body was not plump, and she had a single braid, which was very cool.
The woman was Sun Shangxiang. She looked at herself quietly in the bronze mirror, feeling a little painful.
On one side, on the bed.
Wu, also known as Sun Shangxiang's biological mother.
At this time, she looked at Sun Shangxiang with some pity and kept comforting Sun Shangxiang.
Listening to his mother's words, Sun Shangxiang looked at Wu with tears in his eyes, and then sobbed: "Mother, if his father was there, he would never abandon his daughter, right?"
"Xiangxiang, don't think too much. Bo Fu told me that this time you just want to marry Zhang Xiu. When Zhang Xiu falls into the trap, he will arrange for you to escape."
Wu quickly stroked Sun Shangxiang's palm and comforted him.
"Is it really a false intention?" Sun Shangxiang murmured. She knew that she had decided that she had made sacrifices for Sun's family since she was born.
That is, the so-called political marriage.
But she didn't expect it to be so soon.
As for letting herself escape and setting up aside Zhang Xiu, Sun Shangxiang didn't know whether to believe it. She only knew that if the serious but loving father was there, she would never let her marry the enemy.
There is nothing else, no one is willing to contribute their second half of their generation.
In later generations, she was much older than she is now, and some things were more thorough than she is now. But at this time she was just a young woman of age, a young girl from the Sun family who was cared for by her father and brothers.
At this time, the door was pushed open.
It was Sun Quan who came in. He saw his purple beard and blue eyes, his eyes were bright, and his life was a bit strange, but he looked like a person with kindness and scheming.
"Little sister, the carriage is ready and you can set off." Sun Quan shouted as he came in.
Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was a little haggard and lost her former ability, Sun Quan was also stunned and said again: "Little sister, don't worry. Brother said that Gongjin has already arranged a plan and it will definitely be foolproof. Don't worry."
Sun Shangxiang did not speak, but wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She took out the sword that her father made for her and left the house silently.
Although Sun Shangxiang didn't know if she really got married, she had married her regardless of whether she succeeded or not, which was very unfair to her.
But she knew in her heart that she had to make sacrifices.
"Okay, Zhongmou, go and send Xiangxiang." Wu felt uncomfortable. She held Sun Shangxiang in her palm since she was a child, hoping that she could return smoothly this time.
"Yes," Sun Quan hurriedly followed him out.
When he left the mansion, he was waiting in a carriage, and there were dozens of soldiers standing next to him. These were all generals of the Sun family, and they were all very skilled in martial arts, responsible for escorting Sun Shangxiang to the west.
Holding his skirt and stepping on the wooden ladder, Sun Shangxiang paused, turned to look at the maid with her side, and frowned slightly and asked, "Lin'er, do you know what Zhang Xiu is like?"
"I don't know, but it should be very powerful. He unified Jingzhou in just two years and retreated to Cao Cao many times. It is said that he is only two years older than General Bofu."
Listening to the maid's words, Sun Shangxiang did not stop. No one knew the purpose of her asking this sentence, maybe she just asked casually.
......
A few days later, Xiangyang's territory.
Outside the city, at the Han River, many ships were parked at this time, including three tower ships, twenty fighting ships, more than a hundred ships, etc., although it was too big on the river surface.
It can be used to welcome brides but is more than enough.
This time, Zhang Xiu brought three thousand Xuanwei Legion to show his sincerity and for his own safety. The combat effectiveness of Xuanwei Legion is definitely not ordinary infantrymen.
In addition to the 3,000 Xuanwei Army, there are 500 Guards and 2,000 Navy troops, used to serve as sailors. There are not many people distributed on the tower ships and boats.
Of course, Zhang Xiu had his own plans this time.
This time, his main purpose was not to evacuate, but to delay Sun Ce's three armies. At that time, he would arrange surprise troops to seize Pengze Shui Village.
The riverside is crowded with people.
The summer breeze blows, making people restless.
Jia Xu brought all the civil and military officials to see him off. The trip was full of crisis. Jia Xu was anxious and said solemnly: "My lord, be careful in everything."
"Don't worry," Zhang Xiu chuckled.
After Jia Xu said that, he looked at Zhao Fan, Xing Daorong and Hu Cheer. The three of them walked with Zhang Xiu during this trip.
"General Hu, General Zhao, General Xing, you must protect your lord this time. If there is any accident in the lord, you will come and see you."
Jia Xu's expression was particularly serious and serious.
The three of them nodded and responded in a deep voice, feeling much pressure.
"Okay, board the ship." Zhang Xiu did not dare to be timid, but was a little excited. As long as this plan could be achieved, it would be fatal to Sun's family whether it was Niuzhu Camp or the attack on Pengze Camp.
......
In a blink of an eye, it was another few days.
All the generals gathered in the Chaisang Water Village.
Zhang Xiu looked at Gan Ning, Xu Shu and others under the tent, and hadn't seen each other for a long time.
I saw that Gan Ning changed a lot. Without the ranger who started to see him, he became more restless, and even his skin was a little darker.
At first glance, it is the reason why we deal with water all year round.
Zhang Xiu nodded secretly. Gan Ning looked like a general at this time. He was frivolous in his early years and was famous for his chivalrousness, which was far from now.
After a glance, they were all considered confidants.
Zhang Xiu immediately spoke, "This time we welcome the bride, Sun will definitely mobilize his troops to set up an ambush and kill them, and this is also an opportunity for our army."
"I want to use the tricks to remove the firewood from the cauldron."
"I have discussed this plan with Jia Xu. The next morning I will lead the ship and the soldiers to the appointment. And the night before, Gan Ning led the navy out of the camp and hid with other waters in Pengze."
"I will lend you the frogman at that time. You just need to let the frogman open the way, then quietly lurk over and defeat Pengze Water Village in one fell swoop. Such a big thing is expected, can you do it?"
After saying that, Zhang Xiu looked at Gan Ning with a bright look.
The latter also looked at Zhang Xiu with his eyes, clasped his fists and shouted in a deep voice: "Ning Ding will not let down the general's entrustedness."
"Yuanzhi, you should be at the center and keep a strong eye to investigate the enemy's movements. You can make a quick decision and be ready to send troops at any time. This battle can be won and cannot be defeated."
"Even if you fail to capture Pengze Water Village, you can destroy the arrogance of the Eastern Wu. What's more, Kong Ming's side will probably make progress." Zhang Xiu looked at Xu Shu and said in a deep voice.
Xu Shu nodded and hesitated at the same time: "Lord, will we lose the verbal remarks if we do it first? After all, Sun's marriage is in vain, but we have captured allies."
"Yuanzhi doesn't need to worry. I have arranged a detailed work. As long as the war starts here, rumors will spread from Jing, Yang and even the rest of the prefectures and counties."
"And the rumors are that Sun intends to use the convenience of marriage to murder me. When I find out, I will lead the army to counterattack. If I want them to break their teeth, I have to swallow it."
Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice with murderous intent in his eyes.
Of course, what he didn't know was that Zhou Yu had the same plan. However, after Zhou Yu wanted to take Zhang Xiu, he bit him back and said that Zhang Xiu was planning to Yangzhou.
Then he said with great righteousness that because of his in-laws, he could make things worse with Zhang Xiubing, but he needed to stay in Yangzhou for a while.
He was also thinking about how to plot against Zhang Xiu and thus annex Jingzhou.
"We will help the lord to wipe out the six counties of Yangzhou." The generals were also excited to hold their fists. This battle is a good time to save their military achievements.
"Okay, let's go and arrange everything." Zhang Xiu waved.
As everyone retreated, Zhang Xiu also left the water camp and stood on the board. Zhang Xiu carried her hands on her back. Looking at the sparkling lake surface, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The scenery is really good. Zhang Xiu can even see porpoises jumping out of the water from time to time, hiking at each other. The water birds in the sky are hovering, and they scan the water below with their sharp eyes.
Then, they caught the figure of the fish and then swooped down.
A fat fish was carved by birds. Zhang Xiu even thought that after several years, he took his wife and his beauties to live in seclusion among the mountains and rivers and fields, living a life of peace and stability.
