"Why did you hide your identity and be willing to be my maid for so long?" Yuan Fang asked in confusion.
Sun Shangxiang sighed softly and said helplessly: "At that time, I was hunting outside Shouchun City. Who would have thought that I would encounter you leading an army to attack. In a hurry, I had no time to escape to the city, so I had to find a private house to hide, but Unexpectedly, I happened to run into you. My brother was still fighting with you at that time. I was afraid that if I revealed my true identity, you would be disadvantageous to me, so of course I had to hide my identity."
Sun Shangxiang slowly told the whole story truthfully without any reservations.
It was only then that Yuan Fang understood everything and couldn't help but sigh at the coincidence.
"You have been with me for so long, and you have many opportunities to kill me, but why have you never done anything?" Yuan Fangqi asked.
Sun Shangxiang said sternly: "You are an honest and true hero. You still trust me so much. How could I kill you?"
I see.
Sun Shangxiang¡¯s words made Yuan Fang slightly moved, thinking that it was a good thing you didn¡¯t take action, otherwise with my biochemical ability, you wouldn¡¯t be able to kill me, and you would be seeking your own death.
"What about now? Why are you revealing your true identity now?" Yuan Fang continued to ask.
Sun Shangxiang sighed: "Now you and my brother are about to fight. One of you is someone I admire, and the other is my close relative. How can I sit back and watch you kill each other? Now I have no way out. I must stand up and stop this." war."
Hearing Sun Shangxiang's words, Yuan Fang felt quite emotional, but then sighed: "You have a good heart, but it's a pity that the war between me and Sun Ce is imminent and has to be launched unless he takes the initiative to withdraw. , Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to avoid.¡±
A chill ran down Sun Shangxiang's back, and his body trembled as well.
But she didn't give up. He stepped forward and held Yuan Fang's arm: "It can definitely be stopped. Just let me see my elder brother. I will definitely persuade him to withdraw his troops and persuade him not to go against you."
Yuan Fang knew that she was worried about him and feared that he would be attacked on all sides. In danger.
"It's a pity that Yuan Fang knows better. How could an ambitious prince like Sun Ce retreat without fighting because of his sister's persuasion?"
Knowing that Sun Shangxiang went here was a futile effort. Yuan Fang pondered for a long time, then waved his hands and said: "In that case, you can go see Sun Ce."
Sun Shangxiang was shocked, as if he couldn't believe that Yuan Fang agreed so happily without even hesitating.
"Youyou let me go so happily?" Sun Shangxiang was surprised and happy.
The implication behind her words was that she had been worried. After Yuan Fang knows her identity, he may use her to threaten Sun Ce.
How could Yuan Fang not know what she was thinking, so he just smiled calmly: "Who am I, Yuan Fang? How could I use a woman to threaten the enemy? Even if I want to defeat Sun Ce, I will kill him openly on the battlefield."
Yuan Fang acts openly and aboveboard, which is also his style. What's more, he also knew very well that Sun Ce could not be persuaded by her.
Now that Sun Shangxiang has good intentions, Yuan Fang has no reason to force her to stay, so he might as well let her come and go.
Hearing such frank and bold words, Sun Shangxiang was moved. In the eyes of the water, the admiration is even stronger.
"Without further ado, I'll go, believe me. I will definitely convince my eldest brother to withdraw."
Sun Shangxiang made a solemn promise and then left.
When she stepped out of the door and was about to leave, she couldn't help but look back and glance at Yuan Fang again.
Then, she bit her lip lightly, turned and left.
After seeing off Sun Shangxiang, Yuan Fang sat down, drank a few glasses of wine, recalled everything in the past, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
At this time, Zhuge Liang entered the hall and said suspiciously: "Master, I just saw Xiangxiang riding out. She seemed to be looking outside the city. Where is she going?"
"What's Xiangxiang? She is Sun Ce's sister." Yuan Fang sighed as he took a sip of wine.
Sun Ce¡¯s sister?
Zhuge Liang was stunned and suspicious. He didn't understand what Yuan Fang meant for a while.
Yuan Fang told his disciple Sun Shangxiang¡¯s identity and everything that had happened before.
"I didn't expect that Xiangxiang is Sun Ce's sister, the dignified Jiangdong Shi'er's sister, and she has been your maid for so long"
Zhuge Liang clucked his tongue when he heard this, his little face was full of wonder, as if he couldn't believe that there could be such a coincidence in this world.
After sighing, Zhuge Liang's expression changed, and he suddenly thought of something.
He then said anxiously: "Master, since she is Sun Ce's sister, how can she easilyIf she leaves, wouldn't it be better to keep her here and use her to force Sun Ce to retreat? "
Yuan Fang knew that Zhuge Liang would ask this question.
He just sneered and asked: "Do you think my master would use a weak woman to threaten my enemies?"
With just one sentence, Zhuge Liang was stopped. He couldn't help scratching the back of his head, looking a little ashamed.
Yuan Fang has always taught Zhuge Liang that in order to defeat the enemy and win victory, it is not surprising that he will use any conspiracy or trick.
Although a true hero must have a bottom line, otherwise he will resort to any means, and he will only become a villain like Liu Bei, and will eventually be infamy for thousands of years.
"Furthermore, for someone like Sun Ce, do you think he would give up Huainan because of a girl?" Yuan Fang asked again.
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized this and couldn't help but nodded secretly, feeling that he had learned a lot from Yuan Fang.
Zhuge Liang admired the master in front of him even more for his magnanimity.
¡¡
South of Chengde is the Jiangdong Army camp.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Sun Cezheng and Zhou Yu were plotting day and night to defeat the enemy.
"Now I have a detailed report. Cao Cao of Yuzhou is gathering troops and horses towards Runan. He has great potential to march eastward to Huainan. If Cao Cao also steps in, Yuan Fang will be besieged on all sides, and our chances of winning will be even greater." Zhou Yu said with a smile. .
Sun Ce also nodded slightly and said: "This Yuan Fang is very powerful, but no matter how capable he is, he can't defeat four people with just two fists. I don't believe that he dares to fight Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and my family, Sun Ce, all by himself." confrontation."
Zhou Yu sneered with a jade face and said confidently: "As soon as Cao Cao's troops arrive in Huainan, Yuan Fang will inevitably divide his troops. By then, his troops here will be reduced, and their morale will be frustrated. At that time, we will use a large number of troops to defeat him in one fell swoop. city ??time."
Sun Ce was deeply convinced and praised Zhou Yu's clever plan.
At this moment, the soldiers outside the tent hurriedly came to report that Miss Sun Shangxiang was back.
"Xiang'er?"
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were both shocked. They looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
"Isn't Xiang'er killed by Yuan Fang's rebel army? Why did he come back?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.
Sun Ce shook his head, with a look of doubt on his face. Of course, he didn't know why his sister suddenly "resurrected from the dead."
Just when Sun Ce was surprised and confused, before anyone could come in, the curtain was lifted and Sun Shangxiang had already barged in.
"Brother, what, don't you still don't want to see me?" Sun Shangxiang looked at his eldest brother and complained coquettishly.
"XiangXiang'er!" Sun Ce was stunned for a long time, and then he said two words from between his teeth.
This handsome little girl in front of me is not my missing girl, who else could she be!
Astonishment turned into surprise, Sun Ce stepped forward, supported his sister, and looked at her ecstatically, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
The girl in front of me was completely unscathed except that she had grown a lot taller.
Zhou Yu next to him was also very surprised and didn't know what to say.
After being excited for a long time, Sun Ce calmed down and said in surprise: "Little sister, brother, I thought you were harmed by that Yuan Fang, but I didn't expect you to be alive and well. Why didn't you come to look for me? It makes me sad." "It's been a long time."
"I was not harmed by Yuan Fang. If it were not for Yuan Fang's protection, I would have been killed in the rebel army." Sun Shangxiang said with a smile.
Sun Ce was startled again, not understanding what his sister meant by this.
Sun Shangxiang truthfully told his brother the cause and effect of the past few years.
After saying this, she said sternly: "Yuan Xianzheng has no hostility towards you at all, brother. He just wants to defeat the traitor Yuan Shu on behalf of the emperor. Brother, why do you bother to embarrass him? Listen to my sister's advice and retreat back to Jiangdong."
Hearing this, Sun Ce finally understood why his sister came back at this critical moment. It turned out that she was working as a lobbyist for Yuan Fang.
Before Sun Ce could say anything, Zhou Yu sneered: "Young man Yuan Fang, you have been holding on to Xiang'er for a long time. Now that the disaster is approaching, you are afraid of us, so I let you back to persuade us to retreat. In my opinion, this person is nothing more than that." "
Zhou Yu was sarcastically saying that Yuan Fang was afraid of them and wanted to rely on women to retreat his troops.
Sun Shangxiang's face suddenly darkened and he said anxiously: "Brother Gongjin, you have underestimated Yuan Xianzheng. He didn't know my identity before. It was me who took the initiative to reveal my identity and asked to persuade my brother to withdraw. Yuan Xianzheng had already done this. Prepare to fight to the death with Big Brother, he is not afraid of us at all."
Zhou Yu didn¡¯t expect that Sun Shangxiang would defend Yuan Fang like this, and he was choked for a moment and didn¡¯t know how to respond.
Sun Ce coughed a few times, said: "I said, little sister, since you can come back safely, that's the best. As for other things, you don't have to worry about it anymore. I have my own opinion as a brother."
Sun Ce¡¯s words were obviously meant to deal with Sun Shangxiang.
Sun Shangxiang is so smart, how can he not see it, and immediately said seriously: "Brother, Yuan Fang is kind to me, he is a true hero of the world, and he has the righteousness of the emperor. He is an upright teacher, you are going against him like this, It won't end well."
"Xiangxiang, you are still young. The emperor was just fooled by him. Huainan and our Jiangdong belong to the same Yangzhou and are closely related to each other. How can we let him occupy it easily." Zhou Yu said disdainfully.
Sun Shangxiang was anxious and wanted to persuade her, but Sun Ce dismissed Sun Shangxiang and asked someone to send her to rest first.
Sun Shangxiang also saw that his brother was unwilling to retreat, and felt ashamed and annoyed. Before leaving, he said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't blame me for not warning you. Yuan Xianzheng is an ordinary person. If you don't retreat now, you will regret it sooner or later."
After saying that, Sun Shangxiang turned around and left the tent angrily.
"What does Xiang'er know at such a young age? Yuan Fang is already surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even if he has extraordinary abilities, how can he solve the current predicament?"
Looking at Sun Shangxiang¡¯s back, Zhou Yu sneered disdainfully, his jade-like face full of pride and confidence.
