"If you ask me, there is no one around the general who knows both coldness and warmth. How can he be worthy of his status?"
Sun Lin said with great interest:
"I heard that before our Jin Yiwei evacuated, the whole city of Xi'an was shaken three times. Our grandfather had three wives and four concubines, and he was so majestic..."
"Shut your mouth!" Sun Xuan raised her leg and kicked her. When the latter tilted her head and grinned, she said dissatisfied:
"What do you think about all day long? Do your job well."
"Why are you venting your anger on me?" Sun Lin muttered dissatisfied: "I was jealous and even got angry at me."
Sun Xuan turned her head from time to time and stared at the room, her beautiful eyes full of exploration and resentment in her heart:
Where did you come from? I've been staying here for several months and haven't found any opportunities. You can just come to me.
I'm furious--
Sun Lin couldn't help but tremble when he saw his sister's murderous intent, and took a few steps away.
…
As a member of the army, Zhao Shu was busy with many things, including the stationing of the army, the supply of food and grass, the punishment of the army, and the pacification of the entire Nanzheng.
"Hanzhong has one state and seven counties with nearly a million people. It is okay to raise troops, but it lacks cavalry, which is not good."
He looked at the map of Hanzhong and couldn't help but frown:
"Gongchang Mansion on the side can strike first. The Longyou area is rich in cavalry, and then we can go west, adjacent to Lintao Mansion, and approach Lanzhou."
"However, if Li Zicheng marches westward, I'm afraid it will implicate us, which would be bad."
Muttering, he looked down the map and saw Ningqiang Prefecture.
This is an important place connecting Hanzhong Prefecture and Sichuan, and Jinniu Gorge stands here.
Moreover, Ningqiang Guards were also established here.
"Ning Qiang Guard, the commander is Zhao Guangyuan, the son of Zhao Lijiao."
Just as he was muttering, a servant suddenly reported that it was Mrs. Sun who asked him to speak.
As Sun Chuanting's friend and staff, it is natural for him to take care of everyone in the Sun family.
Without any time to think, he got on the carriage and drove away.
"Madam!" Zhao Shu said respectfully, "But what's the inconvenience? Just give me your instructions directly."
"It's nothing else!"
Li was quite familiar with Zhao Shu. After he sat down, he smiled and said:
"Early in the past, my husband was always talking. He has a good understanding of people and has a deep understanding of people."
Li praised him a lot, and then asked curiously: "I don't know, what do you think of General Zhu?"
"Zhu Youji?" Although he didn't understand why he asked this, Zhao Shu pondered for a moment and then said softly:
"Although General Zhu is only twenty years old, his literary skills and military skills are not as good as those of his subordinates. Sometimes he is quite impulsive and bold——"
"However, he is quite confident, as if he knows everything well, and he is also very contagious. He treats people with enthusiasm and values promises over wealth. He is obviously a hero of the world."
As he spoke, Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh: "Half a year ago, he was just a down-and-out clan, but now he controls a whole government and has over 10,000 soldiers. How powerful is that?"
"That's good."
Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile: "In that case, I can safely marry my daughter to him."
"Daughter? Snow Mother?" Zhao Shu said in surprise.
"That's right." Mrs. Li bowed and said, "I want to marry Snow Lady to him."
"But, the period of filial piety has not passed yet!"
"Let's get engaged first."
Mrs. Li sighed and said solemnly: "Besides, in troubled times, we can't pay so much attention."
"Please check your tone."
"This is what I should do."
Zhao Shu smiled and accepted.
Immediately, he got on the carriage.
At this time, something kept popping up in his mind. Zhao Shu muttered softly, and then his face changed drastically: "No, why did you forget this place?"
Ningqiangwei is at the intersection of the two places.
If Zhao Guangyuan went south and publicized Zhu Yixi's deeds, wouldn't it be equivalent to Liu Zhang knowing his thoughts before Emperor Liu entered Shu?
This is extremely detrimental to General Zhu’s great cause!
Unconsciously, Zhao Shu completely replaced himself as Zhuge Liang and suddenly woke up.
"Quickly, go to General Zhu's residence."
Immediately the carriage started running quickly again.
After a while, he came to the house.
"Where is Zhu Youqi?" Zhao Shu asked hurriedly when he saw the Sun siblings.
"I guess I'm entering the bridal chamber!" Sun Xuan said dissatisfied.
"Entering the bridal chamber?"
"It was King Rui who sent the beauty." Sun Lin added.
"Quickly, call him out. It'll be too late if it's later."
Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "It concerns the general's future. Even if we are already entangled, we have to get up."
"What if I get scared?" Sun Lin hesitated.
"Talking too much." Sun Xuan glared at him, stepped up her long legs, turned around and went to the hospital: "Join the army, I will call the general for you."
As she said that, she approached the door and was about to kick it hard when a sound came from inside the room.
"No."
At this time, the room opened, and Zhu Yixi came out neatly dressed. He looked at Sun Xuan, who was stunned, and said with a smile:
"It's just a heart-to-heart talk inside, she is also a miserable woman!"
Sun Xuan couldn't help but look over and saw two charming women with red eyes and crying.
You...
Sun Xuan felt mixed feelings.
"Guerrilla, I have something important to say."
Zhao Shu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Ningqiangwei is located in an important place..."
After listening for a long time, Zhu Yixi nodded and said gratefully: "Thanks to sir for reminding me, otherwise I would have missed this place, and the consequences would be endless."
"I will order my troops now to attack this place by surprise."
"General Zhao Guangyuan is the son of Taishi Zhao (who was given to the crown prince after his death). He has a good family background and can be considered a general. If he can be conquered, he can be used."
Zhao Shu reminded with a smile.
"Someone introspective."
Zhu Yixi nodded and said to Sun Lin: "Go and notify Li Jizu and ask him to lead the three-sided battalion to follow me southward. The Musketeer Battalion will stay in the city and stand by."
"As you command!"
After giving the instructions, he was about to leave.
At this time, Zhao Shu remembered Mrs. Sun’s instructions and couldn’t help but say:
"General, now that he has tens of thousands of people in charge of a government, has he ever wanted to spread the branches of King Heyang's lineage?"
"King Heyang? I don't dare." Zhu Yixi smiled and said hurriedly: "With this prince, I can't command the army, and your majesty is not at ease."
"However, there is no rush now to start spreading the branches and leaves!"
"It's not urgent, you can also say it's urgent."
Zhao Shu made a long story short: "Now, Mrs. Sun is willing to marry the eldest lady to the general. I wonder what the general wants?"
"Miss Sun?" Zhu Yixi was stunned. They had just met each other a few times, and the sudden talk of marriage caught people off guard.
"General."
Zhao Shu looked nervous and hurriedly persuaded him: "Although Governor Sun has offended many people, the political legacy cannot be underestimated."
"Don't mention anything else, just being the son-in-law of the Sun family is enough for you to be looked down upon in the eyes of others."
"Since Mr. Zhao said yes, then it's okay."
Zhu Yixi looked at his eager look, smiled casually, mounted the horse and said loudly:
"I hope that when I come back, sir, the arrangements have been made. Nanzheng, I'll leave it to you, sir."
Zhao Shu was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed heartily.
What he admires most is Zhu Yixi's decisiveness and huge trust.
Isn't this what Zhuge Liang is pursuing?
Sun Xuan rode on a horse to accompany her, the light in her beautiful eyes dimmed a bit.
