Sun Luban rode the rouge heavenly horse and went straight to Mrs. Sun's courtyard. When she reached the door, she jumped off her horse, but instead of tying her horse to the Huren stone pillar next to her, she led her horse into the door. Mrs. Sun, who came out, heard the sound of horses' hooves, and was just about to shout, when she looked up, she saw a war horse that was like fire and was extremely majestic, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, a flash of light flashed from her eyes, and blurted out: "Good horse!" ”

"Hee-hee, I knew my aunt would like it, so I specially sent it for my aunt to test ride." Sun Luban was overjoyed, stuffed the reins into Mrs. Sun's hand, and encouraged: "Auntie, get on the horse and try." ”

Mrs. Sun was also moved, but she didn't listen to Sun Luban's persuasion, but just said lightly: "The cemetery of the first emperor is here, how can I gallop on a horse and mess up the etiquette." ”

"Well, what's wrong with riding a horse? The first emperor was an immediate emperor, and if he saw such a good horse, he might have crawled out of the grave. Seeing you on a horse, he will only be happy and will not be angry. Besides, I've driven the idlers away, and no one will see them. ”

Although Mrs. Sun is over forty years old, after all, she is also a bold character, and she has long been bored after many days of idleness, and today she saw such a good horse, and then she was picked up by Sun Luban, and her heart was pounding, so she changed into a strong suit, turned over on the horse, and ran out.

This horse is the Great Wan Liang Horse, which is the legendary Pegasus. This kind of horse has a significant feature, that is, when galloping, one side of the front and rear feet of this horse is in the same direction, so that when riding, it is not bumpy back and forth, but swaying from side to side, which is not uncomfortable. On the contrary, it will make people feel relaxed. Even if you ride for a long time, you won't be so tired. As for the brisk and elegant running, it is incomparable to ordinary war horses. Sun Luban was reluctant to get off as soon as he rode it, because of the unique pace of this horse.

Mrs. Sun galloped back and forth between the green mountains and green waters, her limbs seemed to have been massaged, her whole body was relaxed, and the depression of many days was swept away, and she was in a good mood. She returned to Sun Luban's face, gently pulled the reins of the horse, raised it and wiped the slight sweat on her forehead with the corner of her sleeve. Laughing: "Big Tiger." This horse is good, filial piety to my aunt? ”

Sun Luban suddenly became anxious, threw himself in front of the horse, hugged Mrs. Sun's thigh and shouted, "Alas. Aunt. You can't snatch love from you. I just got this good horse. You're going to have to let me ride for a few more days. Is this good, I come to accompany my aunt every day, and let my aunt ride every day to relax. How is it? ”

"I knew you weren't so generous." Mrs. Sun knocked Sun Luban's shoulder with a horsewhip and squeezed her eyes: "It seems that Zhao Tong is good to you, he actually sent you such a haode horse?" This horse cannot be bought in Chengdu, and the estimated value is at least 300 gold, and it can even be sold for 500 gold. ”

"My husband is good to me, so I need to say, but he didn't give this horse." Sun Luban told the story with a smile, Mrs. Sun raised her eyebrows, turned over and dismounted, and pulled Sun Luban towards the house. Entering the house, she stared at Sun Luban's eyes and said word by word: "Girl, what are you here for today?" ”

"Visit my aunt." Sun Luban said with an innocent face: "Also, my father asked me to greet you on his behalf, as well as gifts." ”

"What else?" Mrs. Sun didn't give Sun Luban a chance to interrupt at all.

"And ......" Sun Luban smiled embarrassedly, lowered his head a little twisted, and looked at the tips of his boots. I wanted to ask my aunt for a favor and let Li Yan die of that heart. ”

"Nonsense." Mrs. Sun lowered her face and shouted, "This matter is so easy? This is a battle between Li Yan and Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, how can others intervene? Do you really think that Prime Minister Zhuge is weak if he doesn't object? He wanted to capture and indulge, so that Li Yan was proud for a while. If you get involved, it will ruin the prime minister's business. The prime minister advocated a league with Wu Guo, they ruined his affairs and let Li Yan take power, what good did it do to Wu Guo? ”

"It's precisely because it's not good for Wu Guo that Li Yan can't be allowed to succeed." Sun Luban argued: "If Li Yandou defeats the prime minister and holds power, my Wu State will definitely be his target." My father was so troubled by this that his hair turned much whiter. He has now gathered a lot of magicians, to catch up with Wei Ba's armament jishu, we should buy him a little time, shouldn't we? ”

Mrs. Sun's willow eyebrows rose: "Your idea is right, but if you miss the prime minister's matter, it is because of a small loss." ”

"Auntie, do you really believe in Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng?" Sun Luban pursed his lips and dismissed. "He is willing to kill even Ma Yan, and even Wei Ba is willing to give up, will he still care about our Wu Kingdom? He insists on the alliance now because he needs Wu to help destroy Wei, and once he destroys Wei, he will definitely turn around and attack Wu. If Wu wants to survive, he can only rely on himself, and he can't count on others, whether it is Prime Minister Zhuge or Li Yan, he can't count on it. ”

Mrs. Sun was speechless, she felt that Sun Luban's words had some truth, and she couldn't refute it for a while. There is no other day, if Zhuge Liang really destroys the Wei State, I am afraid that he will not let the Wu State and the Shu Han State stand side by side, and sooner or later there will still be a war. All they can do is buy a little time for Wu Guo.

"And what do you want me to do?"

Sun Luban breathed a sigh of relief. Her words today were discussed by Zhao Tong and Pan Ziyu for a long time before they were ready. With her eloquence, how could she speak so thoroughly. Fortunately, Mrs. Sun is not known for her eloquence, the sword in her hand is sharp enough, but her eloquence is not much better than Sun Luban.

"Auntie, you are so ......" Sun Luban whispered a few words in Mrs. Sun's ear.

Mrs. Sun will be skeptical.

……

Two days later, Mrs. Sun suddenly entered the palace to see the driver, and when she was together with Liu Chanhuan, the son of heaven, Mrs. Sun specially chatted with Empress Zhang for a long time, and Empress Zhang took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Sun to learn swordsmanship. Liu Chan didn't realize the weirdness at all, clapped his hands, and applauded vigorously. Empress Zhang worshipped her teacher on the spot and offered her a bundle. Mrs. Sun gave a sword to Empress Zhang, which was considered to be the official acceptance of this registered disciple.

Liu Chan has always been obedient to Mrs. Sun's words, and seeing Mrs. Sun so happy, of course he was happy to have fun. At the behest of Mrs. Sun, he issued an edict to select some women of appropriate age from the official eunuchs to enter the palace and serve as maids and guards for the queen. The word spread. Suddenly the city was full of storms.

At the same time, Empress Zhang came to the Wei Mansion with Mrs. Xiahou to thank General Zhennan for taking care of Zhang Xingcai, and there were rumors that Mrs. Xiahou intended to marry her daughter Zhang Xingcai to Wei Wu, but Mrs. Zhang did not accept it for the time being on the grounds that the head of the family, Wei Yan, and Wei Wu's biological mother, Mrs. Deng, were not in Chengdu, and only expressed gratitude to Mrs. Xiahou for her kindness, and asked Wei Yan and Mrs. Deng to give a reply. The matter was not finalized immediately, though. But the news that the Zhang family wanted to marry the Wei family spread from here.

Li Yan heard the news. Nothing was said. He sent his daughter to the palace to serve as Empress Zhang's female guard, and never mentioned the matter of choosing a good daughter for the Son of Heaven. Then he sent people to Nanyang and Jiaozhou to check with Meng Da and Wei Ba respectively about the leakage of the stone bomb production jishu.

Jiang Wan and Zhang Yi learned. Don't dare to slack off. Send the news to Chang'an immediately.

……

Saibei. Chicken deer stopper, Tu Shenze. Autumn is crisp and the stars are shining.

The handsome Kirby can sit cross-legged on the grass. Holding a sharp knife in his right hand and a silver bowl in his left hand, his swarthy face illuminated by the light of fire, radiating joy in every wrinkle.

In front of him, around the fire sat a dozen leaders, all of them with rough figures, with oil on their hands and mouths. A fat sheep roasted on the fire had only a skeleton left, and several jars of fine wine had been drunk cleanly, and the smell of wine and meat was everywhere.

"Ladies and gentlemen......" Kirby can stand up, raise the wine bowl, look around, and wait for everyone to look at him with bated breath before continuing: "The Han people are fighting endlessly and killing each other, and our opportunity has come. This time, you will give face, gather 30,000 elite cavalry, just wait for Zhuge Liang to attack, we will enter the state and go straight to Luoyang. ”

"Fight into the state and go straight to Luoyang." The leaders stood up and roared excitedly. When they thought of the Han people's flowers and shijie letting them gallop, they were full of joy. It is bitter cold in Saibei, every winter is so difficult, if you can go to the land of the Han people to grab it once, plus the thank you gift of Shu Han, they will benefit from both sides, this winter will be much better.

It was out of their longing for a better life that they accepted Kirbineng's invitation to discuss with them in Jilusai. Jilusai is one of the fortresses in Shuofang County, Bingzhou, and used to be a place where the Hu people could not stop. Since Zhongping, the Han people have been fighting endlessly on their own, and there is no Liliang to control this land, and the Hu people can drive straight into it from then on, and their horses' hooves may even go all the way to Feng Yi. It was not until the year before last that Wei made a strong counterattack in order to recapture Longyou, and they retreated north to the area of Wolf Mountain (now Helan Mountain).

It is safe here, even the Wei State, which used to be dominated by iron horses, is now unable to penetrate deep into this area, and as for Shu Han, it is not to mention it. Because of this, these people can drink with confidence and drink to their heart's content.

Kirby was very satisfied, drank all the wine in the bowl, wiped his beard, and said with a smile: "This time we occupied the annexed state, and we will never go back." We also have to occupy Hedong and control all the salt and iron ore in Hedong, so that we no longer have to be stuck by the Han people. When we have enough iron to equip every warrior with stirrups and sharp swords, how can the Han be our eagle opponents in the steppe? ”

"That's right." Someone daxiao echoed.

"Da Shuai is right, we follow Da Shuai, whoever is afraid of death is the grandson."

Kirby could listen to the messy flattery, and his eyes swept away, but he saw that there was no smile on Budugen's face, and he couldn't help laughing: "What, Budugen is a little unbearable?" ”

The crowd laughed. Budugen laughed twice, and just as he was about to speak, Kirby's face suddenly sank, raised his hand, interrupted Budugen, and turned his head to look into the darkness. Everyone thought that he deliberately humiliated Budugen, and they couldn't help but daxiao. Kirby Neng frowned and shouted: "Shut up, listen, what is the sound?" Hey, where's the step-root? ”

Only then did everyone realize that Budugen was gone, and when they looked around, a figure was rushing away in the distance. Everyone looked at each other, puzzled. Before they could understand, a murderous voice came from a distance like muffled thunder.

In an instant, a chill rose in everyone's hearts. As survivors of years of fighting on the grasslands, they are all too familiar with this voice.

This is the sound of tens of thousands of iron horsemen charging
