After waiting for so long, I finally got some good news.
It seems that Sun Quan of Moling has heard the news that he has proposed him as the shepherd of Yangzhou, and finally no longer hesitates and decides to send the girl to Linxiang obediently.
The news of the departure of Soochow's wedding procession spread like wildfire. The ordinary people didn't think much of it. At most, they only sent blessings to their Zhennan general Liu Feng. However, the officials in the two counties were all happy because he Knowing that the big shade tree in Soochow finally reached their heads.
Although Liu Feng knew that this was just a political marriage, it was precisely because of this that he had to pay more attention to Sun Shangxiang's arrival.
Without Liu Feng's orders, Liu Ba and others quickly got busy. They first renovated the Zhennan General's Mansion and purchased a large number of new and expensive items for the wedding room. Moreover, with Liu Feng's acquiescence, they also recruited The civilian husband specially built a stone road for Sun Shangxiang from the west gate of Linxiang directly to the Xiangshui Wharf.
On this day at the end of autumn, the scouts who inquired along the way reported that Soochow's fleet had entered Changsha and would arrive in Linxiang before dusk at the latest. Therefore, after noon, Liu Feng led a group of Linxiang officials to go there in person. Xiangshui Pier to greet his fianc¨¦e's arrival.
Looking north, at dusk, the Dongwu escort fleet consisting of more than a dozen warships came across the waves, sailed from north to south, and successfully arrived at Linxiang Port.
Looking up, the man standing on the bow of the boat, with his hands behind his back and facing the wind, was none other than Pang Tong.
When Liu Feng saw Pang Tong, he felt indescribable excitement in his heart. He knew that after going through so many twists and turns, today, the man he had admired for a long time, Wang Zuo, finally defected to Pang Tong as promised. Under his own command.
When he was in Moling, Liu Feng was still worried about how Pang Tong could successfully defect to him without being regarded as "poaching" by Soochow.
At that time, Pang Tong said that he had his own way. Although Liu Feng was well aware of Pang Tong's methods, he still had some worries. Now that he saw that Pang Tong came with the bride-to-be team in Soochow, Liu Feng's worries were naturally dispelled, and he also guessed Pang Tong's escape strategy.
"Mr. Shiyuan, you have had a hard journey."
When Pang Tong got off the boat, Liu Feng had been waiting for the trestle for a long time. He stepped forward to greet him, held his hands in his hands and smiled.
Pang Tong hurriedly returned the gift and said with a smile: "It is Tong's honor to be able to marry Miss Sun and personally participate in this happy event. There is no need to worry about it."
At such a big occasion, with so many eyes and ears, Liu Feng didn't want to say anything to Pang Tong. He just spoke politely and said: "Miss, she must be tired from the journey. Why don't you go back to the city and rest as soon as possible? I have already ordered people to stay where you are staying." The lady has packed it up."
At that moment, Sun Shangxiang, who was wearing a phoenix costume and a hippa on her head, was invited to get off the boat and get on the float specially prepared for her.
From getting off the boat to getting on the car, it took just a few steps. Although Liu Feng still couldn't see Sun Shangxiang's face, he could see her slim figure. Such a figure was enough to make his heart flutter.
But then, Liu Feng felt a chill in his heart when a group of maids followed him from the ship.
There are more than forty maids, although they are all wearing women's clothes, but they all have swords on their waists, their eyes are fierce and menacing, and their behavior is no different from that of trained elite soldiers.
These people are not maids. It is clearly Sun Shangxiang who brought her group of female soldiers to Linxiang.
Pang Tong, who was beside him, saw through Liu Feng's thoughts, so he rode his horse closer and said with a low smile: "My lord, if you marry 'Gong Yao Ji' home, you will have a lot of fun in the future."
Liu Feng couldn't hear Pang Tong's joke, but he could only laugh it off, turn his horse around, and give the order to set off.
The procession of welcoming and seeing off the bride merged into one, and the mighty procession, which was a hundred steps long, walked slowly towards Linxiang City along the newly paved bluestone road.
"Sir, you must have heard about the fact that Cao Cao sent Jiang Qian to Hunan in Moling, right?"
Liu Feng and Pang Tong rode at the front side by side. At this time, Liu Feng could safely say a few words in private.
Pang Tongyi held the reins in his hand and gently stroked his short beard under his chin with one hand. There was a bit of relief in his eyes, "I was originally worried that my lord, you would fall into Cao Cao's alienation plan, but when I heard my lord report that Wu Hou was the shepherd of Yangzhou, After hearing the news, I felt relieved, Lord, your move is wonderful."
"To be honest, sir, this plan was actually proposed by Ma Youchang." As the master, Liu Feng did not take credit for his subordinates' achievements.
Pang Tong nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face, "This Ma Youchang is a piece of beautiful jade. If my lord can carve it, it will become a great thing in the future."
Liu Feng certainly knew that Ma Di was a piece of beautiful jade, otherwise, he would not have used it for his own use.
"Sir, according to the report from my people in Moling, it is said that Zhou Lang once advised Wu Hou to lead his troops to capture Shu. I see that Wu Hou has not handed over Nanjun to Liu Bei for a long time. Could it be that Wu Hou really wanted to capture Shu? Doesn¡¯t your plan work?¡±
In fact, for Liu Feng, Liu Bei is the opponent he pays most attention to. There is a bit of excitement in his words. He seems to think that Liu Bei's borrowing of Nanjun is likely to be disturbed by Zhou Yu. In this way, he is naturally interested in him. is the most beneficial.
Pang Tong sneered: "Zhou Lang's move is quite cruel, but Yuan Zhi and Kong Ming are not easy to use. I expect they have already come up with a solution for Liu Bei and are already implementing it."
"What's the solution?" Liu Baofou was curious.
"Zhongshu and Jingzhou are separated by mountains and rivers, and information is blocked. If Soochow wants to take Shu, it must catch Liu Zhang by surprise and quickly cross the dangerous Three Gorges area. I predict that Liu Bei will secretly warn Liu Zhang and prompt Liu Zhang to send more troops to the east. We must be careful with our troops. Once Liu Zhang is prepared, Wu Hou will have no choice but to give up the plan to take Shu, and Zhou Lang's last struggle will be in vain."
I see, it seems that if Pang Tong can come up with this solution, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu can probably come up with it, which makes Liu Feng a little disappointed.
While talking, the team has entered Linxiang City.
Today's Linxiang City is already in a festive atmosphere, with festive lanterns everywhere and full of joy. When the soldiers and civilians in the city heard that the future Mrs. Zhennan was coming, men, women, old and young all rushed to the streets, wanting to see the newcomer. , and send blessings to the owner of Linxiang.
Happy events are coming, and although Liu Feng has hidden thoughts in his heart, at this time, he can only let go temporarily. He walked at the front of the team with a tall head and a big horse, smiling, nodding and waving from time to time to greet the soldiers and people of the city.
When the motorcade reached the busiest street in Linxiang City, due to the crowds, the carriages riding on Liu Feng and Sun Shangxiang behind were already dozens of steps away, and the motorcade was moving slower and slower.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Amidst a burst of neighing, dozens of horses were suddenly frightened and rushed out from the alleys on both sides of the street. They rushed and collided, trampling many onlookers to the ground. Immediately afterwards, dozens of other horses rushed out from behind the convoy, also causing chaos.
The horses suddenly rushed out and immediately cut the entire team into three sections, and the float Sun Shangxiang was riding on was isolated in the middle.
Amid the chaos, a dozen strong men holding sharp knives suddenly appeared on the buildings on both sides. They jumped from the roof and rushed towards Sun Shangxiang's carriage from all directions.
