"What happened?" Liu Jing felt Dong Yun's nervousness.

"It's the news I got this morning that Liu Bei's army successfully attacked Zigui, and the governor of Yiling County Xin Zhi was unfortunately killed."

The news immediately made Liu Jing furious and asked sternly: "Who is guarding Zigui?"

"I don't know who is in charge of the position of Zhigui Bei. Deputy Military Advisor Sima has already rushed to Nanjun."

Liu Jing took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. This was very serious. Zigui was the key to his severance of Liu Bei's army's entry into Bashu. Once Zigui lost, it meant that Liu Bei would launch an attack on Bashu, with unimaginable consequences.

He asked again: "Where is Military Secretary Jia?"

"The military advisor is in the prefecture yamen. He said that if the prefecture gambler is free, please go there."

As soon as Dong Yun finished speaking, Liu Jing immediately ordered his left and right to say, "Take the horses here quickly."

The personal soldiers led his horse up, Liu Jing turned over the horse, clamped his legs, and the war horse jumped out and ran into the city.

Soon, Liu Jing led his famous personal soldiers to the Jingzhou Military and Political Bureau. He turned over and dismounted and quickly walked towards his official room, and happened to meet Jia Xu head-on.

Jia Xu stepped forward and bowed and smiled, "Congratulations to the lord for marrying Princess Jiangdong."

Liu Jing nodded slightly and said, "Now I have no intention of talking about this matter, let's talk about Zigui County."

Jia Xu nodded, "Lord, please follow the empress to the official room and say it."

The two walked into the official room and came to a sand table. This was a panoramic sand table between Jingzhou and Bashu. It was 2 meter long and 2 meter wide. It took a year to make it. In addition, the defense map of the Bashu Pass sent by Dong He secretly made this sand table an important basis for the Jingzhou army to capture Bashu.

Jia Xu pointed at Zigui County with a wooden pole and said, "The incident should have happened the night before yesterday. Li Yan's pigeon letter said that Liu Bei's soldiers were mixed up with a group of more than a thousand refugees, crossed the river and entered Zigui County, and then took advantage of the unprepared defense to seize Zigui County, which was exactly the same as our method of seizing Zigui County."

"etc"

Liu Jing heard the clue and hurriedly said, "Tell me the pigeon letter."

He took the pigeon letter handed to Dong Yun and looked carefully, frowning in a ball, "How could Ping'an Fort allow refugees to cross the river? Why don't you say it in the letter?"

Ping'an Fort is a castle that controls the Zigui Ferry. It has a garrison. Liu Jing issued an order to strictly prohibit anyone from crossing the river. So why did the guards of Ping'an Fort allow refugees to cross the river? Is they mercilessly exerted their compassion, or have they been sneak attacked by Liu Bei's army.

Jia Xu nodded, "This is the suspicious thing. Since it is crossing the river at night, even if it is a refugee, the defenders cannot be sure of it. Of course, they will not be allowed to cross the river. I suspect there are two situations. One is that the defenders are negligent and were successfully attacked by Liu Bei's army. Secondly, Liu Bei's army did not cross the river from Zigui County at all. Don't the lord think Xin Zhi was very strange to death?"

Liu Jing felt that there was a big problem here. Either Li Yan hid something from him, or Li Yan himself didn't know the reason for the loss. Thinking of this, Liu Jing was a little anxious and said to Jia Xu: "I want to go to Yiling immediately to figure out the situation."

Jia Xu advised him: "The lord went to Yiling immediately as soon as he returned to Xiangyang. It was a bit inappropriate. Zhongda had already rushed there. Please listen to his news."

Liu Jing shook his head, "This matter is related to our Bashu strategy. If Liu Bei seizes Bashu, the consequences will be unimaginable. Without my gold medal, Sima's military advisor may not be able to suppress the army of Nanjun. I must rush to Nanjun immediately and regain Zigui County at all costs."

In Liu Jing's mansion, Tao Zhanzheng introduced the He Dance Academy to Sun Shangxiang, which was her future residence. Sun Shangxiang was very surprised. She used to live in Ganlu Palace. Although the name was Gong, it covers only five acres.

This crane dance theater covers an area of ​​ten acres, with various exquisite pavilions and pavilions close to each other. A crane palace, which is four meters high, stands on the verge of water, and has an area of ​​fifty acres. It is actually a private lake in the mansion.

Sun Shangxiang felt that this was simply the momentum of the palace. Even his brother dared not live in such a house. However, although he felt a little overbearing, Sun Shangxiang still liked it very much. Who doesn't want to live more comfortably?

Especially this lake, the water is sweet and clear, which makes her feel urge to jump into the lake and play with the water. She fell in love with her new home at first sight.

Tao Zhan could feel Sun Shangxiang's shock and love, which made her feel a little proud. Jingzhou is not bad at Jiangdong. Tao Zhan smiled and said, "To be honest, when I first came in, I felt it was very inappropriate. I heard that this was built by the former governor in the Jiaofang Hall of Weiyang Palace. I felt it was extravagant, but the general said that the real governor's mansion was even more luxurious than this. This is already very low-key, and I had no choice but to move in."

Sun Shangxiang hesitated and said, "But I live in such a large courtyard, it's deserted."

Tao Zhan smiled and said, "You can let your maid live in too, and there will be some female guards. Anyway, you can go to my place during the day and we will talk."

"Where is the eldest sister living?"

Tao Zhan pointed to the opposite lake, "It's right in Lumingyuan opposite us. We can take a boat to travel, otherwise it will take half a day to leave when it's big."

Sun Shangxiang also saw a white jade pavilion in the middle of the lake. There were several pleasure boats parked beside the pavilion. There were large lotus flowers around. The lotus flowers had faded, the lotus leaves were half broken, and several old women were sorting out the lotus pond. She thought of something and asked in a low voice: "Will there be men in this house like guards?"

"How could there be other men?"

Tao Zhan laughed, "There are many male servants in the front house, but there are only two men, one big and one small in the back house. If my little guy is also called a man."

She pointed to a group of patrol female guards in the distance and said, "But there are more than fifty servants in the back house, two female guards, and there are many places where there are hidden whistles. I will tell you slowly in the future. Now I will take you to see my little guy, and he will probably wake up."

Sun Shangxiang nodded and smiled, "I like children the most, too."

They walked slowly around the lake along the spacious stone slabs to the opposite side. Tao Zhan introduced her to the scenery on both sides. There were green trees everywhere, and there were even big camphor trees from last year. The huge crown was like a canopy, which made Sun Shangxiang feel relaxed and happy.

At this time, a housekeeper hurried over, "Madam"

Tao Zhan introduced to Sun Shangxiang: "This is A Wu Po, the second housekeeper of the Houzhai. If you have any needs in the future, just look for her."

Tao Zhan said to the housekeeper again: "This is the second wife in the future."

The housekeeper knew who the second wife was, so she quickly knelt down and bowed, "I'm sorry to see the second wife."

Sun Shangxiang smiled and helped her up, "Please forgive me in the future."

"I don't dare to be an old slave"

Tao Zhan asked again: "What's the matter with me?"

"The master is back. Now outside the study room, he said he would go to Nanjun immediately and ask his wife to go there."

Tao Zhan thought to himself, why did he leave as soon as he came back and leave his newlywed wife aside

She glanced at Sun Shangxiang and apologized: "The general is often not at home. We are all used to it. But there must be something important this time, otherwise he would not leave in such a hurry. I'll go and see you."

Sun Shangxiang nodded, and she felt a little sad. She had just arrived at her new home and hoped that her husband would coax her to coax her tonight, so she would feel uncomfortable when she turned around, but she also knew that something must have happened.

"I'll follow my sister's arrangement"

The two of them walked quickly to the outer study room. The outer study room was located in the outer house. Two personal soldiers were helping Liu Jing pack their things. Tao Zhan entered the room and smiled and said, "Why did the general leave as soon as he got home? Isn't it a way to be a husband?"

Liu Jing apologized: "I just got the news that a major military situation occurred in the south. Although Sima military advisor has gone, I am still worried and must rush there. My wife will take good care of Shangxiang for me."

Sun Shangxiang's face was flushed, and she suddenly asked, "Can I go with my husband?"

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward. In fact, Sun Shangxiang really wanted to follow Liu Jing to go out to war, but now she said it, as if she was unwilling to accept Tao Zhan’s care. Sun Shangxiang suddenly realized that what she said would make people misunderstand. She quickly explained to Tao Zhan: "It’s not that I don’t want to be with my elder sister, it’s just me."

She lowered her head, "I don't know what to say."

Tao Zhan grabbed her hand and laughed softly, "Of course I can understand. The first time I saw you, you are a female general. In fact, I feel at ease if you follow the general to take care of him, but this matter is not my final say, he must agree."

Liu Jing was also in a dilemma. He thought for a while and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Let's talk about it next time. This time the situation is urgent. And you just came to Xiangyang. When you are familiar with the situation at home, I will take you out for a walk."

Sun Shangxiang nodded, "I understand, I wish my husband a good luck."

Liu Jing hugged Tao Zhan and Sun Shangxiang into his arms, hugged them tightly, and whispered to them: "I'm leaving, I'll leave my home to you."

He let go of the two of them and turned around and walked out the door. Tao Zhan and Sun Shangxiang kept sending him out of the door. Seeing Liu Jing go away, Sun Shangxiang suddenly felt an indescribable loss, as if she was helpless anymore, and her eyes were a little red.

Tao Zhan sighed softly in his heart, held her hand, and said softly: "I don't have a sister, from now on...you can be my sister."

Sun Shangxiang's nose felt sour. She quickly lowered her head, and tears poured out in a bad mood. She shouted in a trembling voice: "Sister"
