Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom.

On the first day of the lunar month, the sky of Xiangyang was covered with snow, and the fields were covered in silver, which was beautiful. Fortunately, the snow was not too big, and it did not delay Liu Feng and the others.

In front of Sun Ce's mansion, several carriages draped in red and colored colors were lined up, the front was for the bride Sun Shangxiang, and the back carriages were used to transport dowries. Although this is a scene, Sun Ce also has to act more realistically, and there is not a single item that a woman should prepare when she gets married.

On the front and back of the carriage, Liu Feng, dressed in armor, and three hundred knights in full clothes guarded both sides, and Sun Shangxiang's safety along the way was "responsible" for them. In addition to Liu Feng and others, Qin Mi, who served as the envoy, was waiting outside Sun Shangxiang's boudoir at the moment.

"Madam, it's not too early, it's a long way to Bashu, so let's leave as soon as possible, lest the heavy snow come and block the road and delay the trip."

Qin Mi waited in the wind and snow for half an hour, but still didn't see Sun Shangxiang come out of the house, so he couldn't help coughing and reminded him.

After the Chinese New Year, the thirteen-year-old Sun Shangxiang was even more graceful, wearing a phoenix crown and a xiaxia veil, but he did not forget to hang a sword at his waist, which looked a little nondescript. At this moment, her mood is very conflicted, she wants to make a modest contribution to the future of the Sun family, but she is also entangled in her own reputation.

The marriage has been decided, the world knows it, and this marriage is spreading. Even if the elder brother robbed himself back, he couldn't change his reputation as a wife, even if he and Liu Bei were not husband and wife, they also had the name of husband and wife. What's more. After he was robbed, he had to remain incognito for a long time and act as a black household. This is the most unacceptable thing for Sun Shangxiang!

"Shang Xiang, Qin Mi is urging outside the door again. Get in the car! Sun Ce's face was more severe than the frost and snow outside, standing in front of the window lattice, through the window paper, he glanced at Qin Mi outside, and reminded Sun Shangxiang softly.

Seeing Sun Shangxiang's sad face, Sun Ce gently walked to her back and patted his sister's shoulder lovingly: "Shangxiang, don't worry, my brother won't really marry you to a man who is more than twenty years older." Liu Bei's age is about to catch up with his deceased father, how can my brother bear to see you fall into the fire pit? I have figured out Liu Feng's westward route, and I am ready to send General Zhang Dingbian to pretend to be the Han army. Loot you back near Wheat City. ”

Sun Shangxiang burst into tears, jumped up and gave Sun Ce a hug: "Brother, you are really good to Xiang'er, if Brother Zhongmou is the master of the house, he will definitely marry Shangxiang to Liu Bei." ”

Sun Ce sighed: "Zhongmou is also fifteen years old after the New Year, this guy is more than calm, and he is not domineering enough. Defending the frontier is reassuring, and I am afraid that the expansion of the land is powerless. ”

"It's okay brother, Xiang'er is just talking casually!" Sun Shangxiang smiled, looking very understanding. "Even if Brother Zhongmou does this, Xiang'er won't blame him. Compared to the foundation of the Sun family, what is Xiang'er? ”

"Xiangxiang is my brother's sister!" Sun Ce's eyes were firm, full of love. "The eldest brother is like a father, and when the father is gone, the elder brother must love Xiangxiang like his father. For the elder brother. The country is important, but your relatives are equally important! ”

Sun Shangxiang burst into tears. But his face was full of worry: "Brother, you send someone to rob Xiang'er back." If the news leaks and angers Liu Bei, wouldn't it be self-defeating? Yi Xiang'er looks...... Brother still really married Xiangxiang to Liu Bei, right? I will try to maintain a good relationship between the two companies. ”

"No way!" Sun Ce decisively refused, with a look of no regret, "Brother will never exchange his relatives for the country!" After analyzing it, even if Liu Bei knew that it was his brother who didn't believe it, and pretended to be a Han army and robbed you back, he would also put this account on Liu Wei's head. Forced by the general trend, Liu Bei has no choice! ”

"Oh......" Sun Shangxiang didn't seem to understand, and didn't say anything more, "In this case, Xiang'er will obey the order!" ”

When the words fell, Sun Shangxiang got up and bowed deeply to Sun Ce, and left the boudoir without saying a word.

The thirteen-year-old girl, the moment she crossed the threshold, tears rolled down, and she muttered in her heart, "Brother, goodbye!" Xiangxiang is really going to Bashu, you have to take care of your life and live well! You would rather give up the Sun family's foundation for your sister, how can Xiang'er be so selfish? Let me go to Bashu to marry Liu Bei for the sake of the Sun family, as a child of the Sun family, this is Xiang'er's fate! ”

"Let's go!"

After Sun Shangxiang got into the carriage with a few maidservants, Qin Mi and Liu Feng said goodbye to Sun Ce, waved their horsewhips, and embarked on the road west to Bashu.

The gate of Xiangyang City opened, and three hundred iron horsemen braved the wind and snow and headed all the way to the south.

Sun Ce took Zhou Tong and Zhu Sheng to stand under the city gate and raise their eyes into the distance, until the big red carriage gradually disappeared into the snow, and then he whispered an order: "Tell Zhang Dingbian to lead a thousand horsemen to change into the armor of the Han army, raise the banner of the Han army, take the small road and hurry to Mamai City, shoot the Shu army, and take back Shangxiang!" ”

"No!" Sun Ce's own soldiers led the order and left.

Sun Ce instructed another personal soldier: "Liu Bei's subordinates are full of wisdom and tricks, although Liu Feng claims to take the route of Mafuyi and Maicheng, I am only afraid that he will cheat." You hurry up and go to Dangyang to inform Sun Li, and ask him to guard against the route of Changbanpo, lest Liu Feng change the road and be really taken away by him. ”

"The villain understands, please rest assured!"

The soldier agreed, turned over on his horse, threw the whip into the sky, and went straight to Dangyang County.

After sending two groups of men and horses in a row, the guilt in Sun Ce's heart dissipated slightly, and he led Zhou Tong and Zhu Sheng back to Xiangyang City and continued to be on strict guard.

Although it was already the cold winter season, Yue Fei's army was still stationed ten miles north of the city, and God knows if he would take advantage of Zhuge Liang's morale after taking Wuling and brave the cold to storm Xiangyang? Before Liu Bei sent reinforcements, the throat of the Sun family had been choked by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was no room for carelessness!

The distance from Xiangyang to Gangneung is about 500 miles, and there are two roads to go. One is the path of Zhangxiang, Maicheng and Mafuyi in the west, and the other is the route of Yanxian, Changbanpo and Dangyang in the east, all of which can reach Jiangling on the bank of the Yangtze River.

Liu Feng claimed to Sun Ce that he planned to take the route of Maicheng, but he revealed the news to the Eastern Han Dynasty through various channels, and his real marching route was the route of Changbanpo and Dangyang. For Liu Feng, what he has to do now is how to make Sun Shangxiang robbed by the Eastern Han army.

Liu Bei is not a fool, what Sun Ce can think of, he can also think of. Therefore, he had long expected that Sun Ce was likely to play the trick of two sides and three knives, ostensibly marrying his sister but secretly snatching it back. Liu Bei would never allow this kind of thing to happen, what he wanted was the ironclad facts, and what he wanted was that Sun Shangxiang must be snatched away by Liu Bian's subordinates, not by Sun Ce in the name of the Han army.

What is true is true, and what is fake is what is fake! Only when Sun Shangxiang was really robbed by Liu Wei's subordinates could his reasons be upright and accept the baptism of wind and rain, and he would not be infamous for being used by others in the pen of the historian. No matter if it goes down for a thousand years or 10,000 years, he is a victim of being robbed of his wife, not a thief who actively betrays the court!

Fame, for Liu Bei, this is the most important thing!

If you can balance fame and power, and get both bear paws and fish, it is really the most wonderful thing in the world. Liu Bei yearns for it.

"I am cheating, such a strange marriage is really rare in ancient and modern times!" Liu Wei stood in the snow in front of the Taiji Hall and sneered, "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you will send a letter to Xiu Shu to tell me that you will come and take my wife away, so that I will have a reason to beat you." ”

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, do you know that you need a reason to betray me, and I actually need a reason to declare war on you? You control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and you ordered Guan Yu to build the Great Wall in the west of Jingzhou, you make it difficult for me to sleep and eat, like a man's back, and I am also looking for a reason to destroy you. Since you are so thirsty, I will fulfill you and rob your woman! ”

Liu Wei's smile was treacherous and unpredictable: "Of course, I won't let your abacus be too wishy-washy, after I robbed Sun Shangxiang, I will send someone to question you about your marriage with the traitor Sun Ce, what do you want?" It is clear that there is a heart of disobedience! I will choose a woman from the wealthy families in Jiangdong to marry you, rob you one, and return you one, see if you accept it? If you don't accept it, then the world will judge what is right and what is wrong. ”

The wind and snow rose again, Liu Wei turned around and entered, but his heart was full of ambition: "Zhao Yun, Jiang Song, and Zhanzhao have rushed to Changbanpo with hundreds of fast horses, and it has been four or five days, I'm afraid it's already here at this moment, right?" I'm waiting for good news in Jinling! ”

Liu Feng led three hundred horsemen to escort Sun Shangxiang all the way to the south, and walked one hundred and ten miles to the fork in the road. With Maicheng to the west and Nagasaka to the east, it's time to make a choice.

"General Liu Feng, please go to Changbanpo, because my brother is reluctant to marry me off, and he needs to unite with Uncle Liu Huang, so he sent people to secretly ambush near Maicheng, ready to snatch me back. I can't embarrass my brother, I am determined to marry into Bashu, marry Uncle Liu Huang, and do my duty for the alliance of the Sun and Liu families. So, please General Liu Feng to divert to Changbanpo! ”

While the team was resting, Sun Shangxiang bluntly told Liu Feng about Sun Ce's plan. The immature face was full of sincerity, and he earnestly asked Liu Feng to change his route to Changbanpo.

Liu Feng sighed secretly in his heart: "It's a woman who dares to act, why should my father-in-law be thrown out as a chess piece?" What a pity! Sun Ce's intentions were already expected by his father-in-law, even if you don't ask for it, I will take the Changban Slope instead! ”

"Madame is really a woman who knows the general situation, Liu Feng is better to be respectful than to obey her fate!" Liu Feng thanked Sun Shangxiang, turned around and ordered loudly: "Change to Changbanpo!" ”
