Sun Luban was very angry, especially when he heard the name Wei Ba.
As the eldest daughter of King Wu and the most favored Mrs. Bu today, Sun Luban has never been wronged. She grew up in the care of the stars. She has a noble status and good looks.
She is beautiful. From the people of King Wu to everyone who has seen her, no one dislikes her or makes her unhappy.
Because of King Wu's favor, the charming Zhou Xun became her husband with just a flick of her finger when she was a child. When she reached the age of starting a family, she could not marry and have children, or even take in concubines. She could only keep herself as a jade until she was ten years old.
Six years old. The day she got married was
Her happiest day. Zhou Xun was eight years older than her. At that time, he was already a handsome young man of 24 years old. He was one of the few talents among the young people of Wu State. Even if he did not mention his famous father, he was regarded by others as
With his talents and looks, he is also a very ideal husband.
However, the good times did not last long. Less than a year after the marriage, Zhou Xun died of illness and she became a widow. What is even more tragic is that she did not even have a son and a half. Although the Zhou family did not express any dissatisfaction, they
She knew very well that the Zhou family regretted this marriage. If he had not wanted to marry her, Zhou Xun would have married a wife and had children long ago, and he would not have had any descendants.
After living unhappily in the Zhou family, Sun Luban returned to the palace. She didn't want to see Aunt Qiao's beautiful but sad face.
Being widowed at a young age made Sun Luban feel very uncomfortable, especially when one of her two sisters was getting married and the other was about to get married. She couldn't lose it. But the good news came soon, and the general of Wu State and Shu State made peace.
, she will marry Wei Ba, the second son of Wei Yan, the young and talented man in Shu who has recently become famous.
Sun Luban is no stranger to Wei Ba. Last year, the Shu-Han Northern Expedition captured Guanzhong in one fell swoop. It shocked the world and changed the balance of strength among the three countries. His father, Sun Quan, lamented countless times that the Wu Kingdom did not have such an opportunity. After years of fighting, it was impossible to unite the front lines.
Advancing northward. In the first half of this year, the Three Kingdoms were in Xiangxi
In a melee at Yang, Wei Ba stole the show. Not only did he defeat the Wei army and defeat Fancheng, but he also gave Wu's most admired general, Lu Xun, a black eye and a black nose, causing him a huge loss of face. Of course, Sun Luban was most impressed.
What's more, her younger brother Sun Liu also lost his life on the battlefield and died under the iron hoof of the Wei army.
His father, Sun Quan, almost went crazy because of this. Every time he mentioned Wei Ba, he was no longer envious, but filled with hatred. While Sun Luban also resented Wei Ba, he became more and more curious. What kind of young man could actually do this?
With such a clever method, the monarchs and ministers of Wei and Wu
He is so young, even younger than his uncle Sun Ce and uncle Zhou Yu when they were traveling side by side across Jiangdong. At such an age, he can achieve such achievements. As far as the history Sun Luban knows, well
There are few people who can compare with him.
So when she learned that she was going to get married to such a person, Sun Luban once again fell into boundless happiness. She felt that she was the luckiest person. She had just lost a husband who was one in a million, and then she got another one.
A husband like no other in the world.
However, it was as if God was a little jealous of her. This time the happiness was even more short-lived and turned into shame even before she got it: Wei Ba actually refused to marry, and even Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, had nothing to do. He had to send the person who wanted to marry him.
It was changed to Liu Yong, King of Lu.
For his father, Sun Quan, this result was not bad. But for Sun Luban, this was nothing less than a bolt from the blue and an unacceptable shame.
The name Wei Ba has since become a thorn in Sun Luban's heart. When she thinks of this name, she gnashes her teeth and wishes to cut Wei Ba into pieces with thousands of knives. It will be your blessing for the majestic Princess Wu to marry you. , How dare you refuse marriage? Wei Ba, I will make you regret this decision for the rest of your life.
From that day on, Sun Luban was thinking about how to humiliate Wei Ba. When he learned that Wei Ba was about to arrive in Xiling, Sun Luban was elated, not because he was about to get married, but because he could finally take revenge.
Sun Luban was not a reckless person, and she did not show any signs of arousing suspicion. She dressed herself up beautifully, dignifiedly, and sat there with her neck straight and her back straight, smiling without showing her teeth. She was so beautiful without losing the look of a princess. style.
Except that there was an out-of-place dagger in the wide sleeve.
No one knows what she is going to do, except for her close friend who has been by her side, and Sun Liu’s fiancée Pan Ziyu. Pan Ziyu is the daughter of Fenwei General Pan Jun. She just got engaged to Sun Liu last year. If it hadn’t been for the war, No matter the delay, they were already married. Because of the war, she lost her husband before they even got married.
Although the reasons were different, she naturally had a common language with Sun Luban. But she did not have the courage like Sun Luban, and actually wanted to take revenge on Wei Ba with her own hands.
Looking at the smug Sun Luban, Pan Ziyu was very worried. "Princess, that thief is a ruthless person. According to the Lu family's sister, not only the Pan family and his son suffered from him, but even General Lu did such a thorough job The arrangement he made ended up falling into his poisonous hands. How can you, a weak woman, do it?"
Sun Luban raised his eyebrows: "Who said that if a man can't do something, a woman can't do it? Ziyu, I'm not telling you, you are good at everything else, but you are a little timid. This is my territory of Wu State, you What are you afraid of what he will do? If you kill him, will Zhuge Liang still avenge him? Not to mention that Shu Han does not have this power, even if he did, Zhuge Liang probably would not have the intention."
Pan Ziyu nodded silently. Sun Luban had taught her many times about the internal conflicts in Shu Han these days.
"By the way, how's the official business going with your Majesty, General Fenwei? When will you go back?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen my father for several days." Pan Ziyu frowned and sighed softly: "It looks like there is going to be another war."
"What's wrong with fighting?" Sun Luban said with a smile: "Those disobedient barbarians just want to fight and kill. If you don't let them know how powerful they are, they won't be honest."
"The princess is right, but I am always afraid of the dangers of war." Pan Ziyu sighed and frowned. Sun Lu's death brought too many shadows to her. If she stays with the king, she will die in battle. Danger, let alone being on the front line in person? Her sigh made Sun Luban very depressed. If he didn't pity her experience, he would have kicked her out.
A maid came in and saluted cautiously: "Princess, the wedding boat of Shu Han is about to dock, and the general has already gone to the river to greet her."
Sun Luban touched the handle of the short knife in his sleeve and said calmly: "Here he comes, there is nothing to make a fuss about. Go and find out where they will stay, especially the one named Wei Ba, look at him What does it look like?"
"Here." The maid bowed and left.
Pan Ziyu looked at Sun Luban and asked again: "Princess, do you really want to do this?"
"Don't ask anymore." Sun Luban shook his sore neck: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Whether it succeeds or not is all my business."
Pan Ziyu heard Sun Luban's displeasure and did not dare to ask any more questions.
…
Wei Ba and others passed through the turbulent Three Gorges. Finally, they safely docked outside Xiling City. The towering Wu Mountain and the thousands of miles of Daba Mountain were all left behind. Except for some low hills, there was an endless plain in front of them.
In the wilderness, golden
Rice reminds people that the harvest season is coming, but the number of rice fields is too small. There are only more along the two sides of the river, but further away there is the green color of weeds. It can be seen that the battle at the beginning of the year has had a great impact on the farming season in Xiling.
The impact cannot be ignored.
The people who came to greet him were the right general Zuo Hujun and Linxiang Marquis Bu Zhao. Bu Zhao was more than fifty years old. He had a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and a neatly trimmed short beard, which added to his elegance.
Share power.
Under the recommendation of Zhang Wen and Fei Yi, Bu Zhi and Liu Yan greeted each other. Wei Ba was a junior, so he could only wait for them to see each other before going forward to salute. Bu Zhi looked at Wei Ba carefully for a long time, but did not say anything.
He returned the gift a little reservedly and warmly invited Liu Yan to get in the car and go back to the city.
Wei Ba didn't care about Bu Zhi's indifference. Now that he was in danger, his biggest concern should be safety. It didn't matter whether Bu Zhi was polite to him or not. He got on the car and Dunwu followed him.
, Wang Shuang rode a war horse, led fifty soldiers, and
Fifty spearmen led by Zhao Tong walked side by side. Two hundred tiger soldiers were divided into two columns and guarded both sides of the carriage. They wanted to protect not only Wei Ba, but also Liu Yan, the rear general. Wei Ba's real
It was not them who relied on them, but the military soldiers and the Zhao family's spearmen.
Xiling City is the eastern fortress of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the west gate of Wu State. After Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei, he has been guarding it and operating it for many years. Compared with Baidi City, Xiling City is only larger in size. Although Liu Yan and Wei Ba
Not all the people were brought ashore, but there were still more than 800 people, but Bu Zhao still arranged a duli camp for them in the city, which did not seem cramped at all.
As soon as they arrived at the camp, Wei Ba and Zhao Tong were busy arranging the evacuation. This matter should have been arranged by the chief officer Liu Yan, but Liu Yan, apart from having a bitch face and being eloquent, had limited ability to lead troops.
For safety reasons, Wei Ba took the initiative even though he was wary of Liu Yan.
He started the task of setting up camp. After his rebirth, the first major thing he encountered was to prepare the camp for Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition army. At that time, his father Wei Yan taught him the things to pay attention to. Now he is very good at doing these things, even
When Zhao Tong saw it, he was full of praise and couldn't fault it.
Wei Ba arranged the guarding of the camp gate and walked up to the watchtower in the camp with Zhao Tong. They looked around and checked the layout of Xiling City. This watchtower was probably specially arranged by Bu Zhao. It was not as high as the city wall and could
What I saw was really limited.
"If you want to see clearly, you have to go there." Wei Ba pointed at the tallest building in the city and said jokingly.
Zhao Tong took a look and shook his head with a smile: "That is impossible. Not to mention that it is Bu Zhao's seat, and now it is where Princess Wu lives. How can you and I just go up there?"
Hearing the words "Princess of Wu Kingdom", Wei Ba couldn't help but want to laugh. Just as he was about to tell Tong Zhao that Liu Yong almost killed him because of this princess, a Wu Kingdom waiter came outside the camp gate and said to the soldiers guarding the gate.
After a few words, the soldier trotted over.
"Your Excellency, General Bu wants to summon you to discuss the matter of welcoming the bride."
