Sun Shangxiang never expected that she was here to persuade Yuan Fang to withdraw his troops, but Yuan Fang turned around and advised her elder brother Sun Ce to surrender.

For a moment, Sun Shangxiang was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

"The world's general trend, long-term division will lead to unity, long-term division will lead to division. The world has been in chaos for a long time, and it is time to return to unity."

Back then, Yuan Fang turned against the Yuan family, and was unyielding to oppression, and wanted to become stronger and regain his dignity.

Now that the Yuan family has been destroyed, he can stand up and conquer the world with the status of the world's greatest prince.

It was precisely this change of identity and the familiarity of the rise and fall of all dynasties that Yuan Fang knew more clearly that winning the world in troubled times was like sailing against the current, and if he did not advance, he would retreat.

If you want to stop the war and live in peace, others will only use your kindness and generosity to wait for you to make mistakes, and then give you a fatal blow.

At that time, not only you were in danger, but the people of the world would also have to endure endless wars.

There can only be one king in this world

The greatest kindness of the king's way is to destroy all separatists and end this chaotic world with iron-blooded war.

"Brother Xianzheng, why do you have to annex our Jiangdong? Everyone is in charge of one side and does not invade each other. It is not good to get along so peacefully and friendlyly?"

Sun Shangxiang was very puzzled in her tone. Obviously, she was still a daughter's house and her thoughts could not understand Yuan Fang's level.

"Because human ambitions can never be eliminated."

Yuan Fang looked at Sun Shangxiang, "Even if I withdraw my troops today, can you guarantee Xiangxiang that when there is a chance in the future, your elder brother will be able to restrain his ambitions. Will he never take the opportunity to attack me again?"

"I..." Sun Shangxiang was speechless, her teeth tightly bit her red lips, and she was speechless for a moment.

Although her thoughts are not as profound as Yuan Fang, she is still smart after all. How could she not know his elder brother's ambition?

She knew that as Yuan Fang said, although Sun Ce suffered a great loss today, as long as the opportunity came again, it would be useless for her to persuade him. Sun Ce would forget all the lessons and raise an army to invade Yuan Fang's territory again.

After a moment of silence, Sun Shangxiang looked at him and asked back, "Brother Xianzheng said that my elder brother is ambitious. Do you have no ambitions, brother Xianzheng?"

"Of course I have it. The Han Dynasty lost its deer and the whole world chased it. Ambition is the nature of human beings. How could I, Yuan Fang, not be able to compete for the deer? But this deer can only fall into the hands of the strongest, and the price of the loser.

, There is only one way to destroy. Xiangxiang, is your Sun family enlightened to bear the price of this failure?"

Sun Shangxiang's body suddenly shook, and his expression changed.

It seemed that she had been so grand and magnificent for Yuan Fang, but also full of cold words, deeply shocked.

After a moment of shock, Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, do you have this determination? I really don't know yet. I want to ask, Brother Xianzheng, do you have it?"

A wild laughter.

How wild the laughter was, as if life and death, success and failure were all laughed at, and there was no fear at all.

"I, Yuan Fang, have been a illegitimate son who has nothing and has been oppressed, and have used blood to kill out the world today. I have never seen any storm and hardships. Since when I was determined to resist, I have long put life and death aside. At worst, it is just a thrill of prosperity.

Just a death in battle, it’s not in vain for this life.”

The bold and heroic words of the world echoed in Sun Shangxiang's heart like thunder.

Body and mind were shocked, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Yuan Fang's eyes with a certain kind of surprising respect flashing.

It seems that I haven't seen each other for many years, and today, Yuan Fang has a deeper understanding.

After his heart swayed for a long time, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "It seems that Brother Xianzheng is the true master of life. My elder brother's courage and ambition are far less than you, Brother Xianzheng. Okay, I will go back and persuade Brother carefully.

He advised him to surrender to Brother Xianzheng, but as for whether he listened or not, he could only let fate.

Sun Shangxiang seemed to be infected by Yuan Fang and had some enlightenment in his mind.

"Xiangxiang, you haven't seen each other for many years, you have really changed." Yuan Fang's expression calmed down and he sighed.

Sun Shangxiang smiled and said with interest: "Then Brother Xianzheng, tell me, where did I change."

“Become more mature, and more…”

Yuan Fang looked her up and down a few more glances, and smiled faintly: "I'm even more beautiful."

When Yuan Fang praised her for her beauty, Sun Shangxiang smiled with a pursed lips, and her delicate face couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

Sun Shangxiang is no longer the ignorant girl of the past, and the graceful girl. Who wouldn’t secretly be happy after hearing others praise her beauty?

"Brother Xianzheng, let's leave here. I hope I will see you again one day."

It seemed that he didn't want Yuan Fang to see her shame, and Sun Shangxiang wanted to say goodbye and leave.

"Then we'll have a date later." Yuan Fang didn't drag his hands on it, smiled happily, and turned around.

The two riders walked behind each other and slowly walked towards their camp.

"Xiangxiang." After a few steps, Yuan Fang suddenly thought of something.

Sun Shangxiang didn't think about it and quickly turned her head, but saw that the Yingwu face had a faint smile written on her, and she was just looking at her.

That smile seemed to be like the first meeting.

Yuan Fangyuan looked at her and shouted: "No matter what happens in the future, you can come to me at any time. I, Yuan Fang, will always open the door for that little girl named Xiangxiang."

A few words evoked Sun Shangxiang's endless memories. The scene of her being a maid next to Yuan Fang, gushing out from the bottom of her heart like a tide.

Sun Shangxiang's heart had never been so touched now. Her eyes couldn't help but feel crystal clear, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Yuan nodded slightly to her, and without saying anything, he turned around and pulled his horse back to the formation.

Sun Shangxiang stood there, watching the familiar figure leave, while Yuan Fang's words echoed in his ears for a long time.

Until she could no longer see Yuan Fang's figure, she sighed softly, turned around and went to Ruxuwu with a loss.

Yuan Fang returned to his original formation and immediately ordered the entire army to return to the north.

"Master, don't we take advantage of the situation to capture Ruxuwu?" Wen Chou said inexplicably.

"So what if we forcefully attack it? We don't have a navy army now. Once the army leaves, it will be taken back by Sun Ce sooner or later, but it will only hurt the soldiers. Let's go to the army as soon as possible, and I have more important enemies to deal with." Yuan Fang said.

Only then did the generals such as Wen Chou realize it.

At this time, Jiang Gan said: "What the Lord said is that our Great Qi has no naval army. Although we have defeated Cao Cao and Sun Ce in a row, we want to lead our troops south and wipe out the two of them in one fell swoop, but we will be blocked by Jianghan. Instead of this,

It would be better to take advantage of Ma Tengxin's defeat and attack Guanzhong and Xiliang in one go, unify the north first, and train the navy at the same time, and then go south to eliminate Cao Sun."

Jiang Gan's words analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us clearly and deeply won the hearts of Yuan Fang.

"This Jiang Gan is really a very strategic plan. This time he went south to defeat Sun Ce, surrendered Jiang Qin, and unearthed Jiang Gan, an outstanding strategist. He really gained great results. There is no need to go this time..."

With a sense of gratitude, Yuan Fang became more energetic and pointed northward: "Go back north and follow me to destroy the remnants of Xiliang."

The order was passed down, and a hundred thousand troops, with the momentum of victory, returned northward in a mighty way.

...

On the wall, Sun Ceshang was sweating and looked at the enemy formation anxiously in his heart, fearing that his younger sister Sun Shangxiang would be in trouble.

Zhou Yu, who was recovering from his own injuries, heard the shocking news, and hurriedly dragged his broken leg and limped to the wall to watch.

"This kid Yuan Fang will take the opportunity to take down his younger sister and use her to threaten Bo Fu. How can you let your younger sister get into the mouth of a tiger?" Zhou Yu sighed.

Sun Ce said helplessly: "Young sister can't even control her old mother, how could she listen to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a red shadow rode out of the wall and it turned out that Sun Shangxiang was leaving and returning.

Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, surprised and happy, and quickly ordered to open the wall door and let Sun Shangxiang enter.

Zhou Yu looked surprised, as if he couldn't believe that Yuan Fang didn't take Sun Shangxiang down as a threat.

After a while, Sun Shangxiang climbed onto the wall and told Sun Ce that Yuan Fang had already planned to withdraw his troops.

Before Sun Ce could speak, Zhou Yu had already said first: "The boy named Yuan is a deceitful guy. How can he believe what he said? Maybe this is his suspicious plan. Little sister, don't be fooled by that boy."

As soon as this said, Sun Shangxiang immediately looked angry and stared at him and said, "Brother Xianzheng is a true hero who stands tall and trusts. He will never break his word. Zhou Gongjin, I advise you not to do anything again.

You can judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

"Little sister, you--" Zhou Yu's face turned red, and he didn't expect Sun Shangxiang to mock him like this.

However, Sun Shangxiang had already snorted coldly before he could attack and left.

Zhou Yu was froze in place angrily, his face flushed and he was very embarrassed.

"This little sister is really too much. Gongjin, you have a reasonable point and don't trust it." Sun Ce comforted Zhou Yu and stood on his side.

So, the two of them did not dare to relax their vigilance, fearing that Yuan Fang would be cheated, and continued to strictly guard Ruxuwu and sent a large number of scouts to reconnaise the movements of the Qi army.

Seven days later, Yuan Fang did return to the north with all kinds of information and expressions, and only continued to stay Zhang Liao to guard Hefei.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bofu, you must not be discouraged after this failure. After we return to Jiangdong, we will continue to expand our army and prepare for war. There will always be a chance." Zhou Yu was afraid that Sun Ce would be afraid and dared not to rush his army north again.

"Don't worry, Gongjin, who is I, Sun Ce? How could I be afraid of a failure?" Sun Ce said proudly.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Sun Ce remembered something again and frowned and said, "This time I went to Jiangdong, the first thing I did was to get rid of the stinky Taoist priest who pretended to be a ghost and bewitched people's hearts. If this person was not eliminated, I would really find it difficult to fight the Northern Expedition with peace of mind."

Zhou Yu was stunned, and then understood who Sun Ce said, and nodded, "Jiangdong is our foundation, we must make our hearts return to the fullest. That stinky Taoist priest is very popular among the people, which is indeed a hidden danger for us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a scout came into the tent and bowed, "Reported to the lord, there are several civilian ships on the river, claiming to be Yu Ji and his believers. They want to leave the northeast of the Yangtze River and go to preach. If our army releases it, please make an announcement.
