Xiakou City. In the palace lobby, Yuan Fangzheng was sipping wine and thinking about the next step, marching into Chaisang. At this time, Yi Cong's troops came to report that there was a woman in red outside the city who claimed to be Sun Shangxiang and wanted to see Yuan Fang. "Xiangxiang? Why did she come back?" A strange color flashed in Yuan Fang's eyes, and memories of the past flooded into his mind, and that familiar and beautiful face immediately appeared in his mind. As soon as Ruxu saw her, many years passed in a flash. I wonder what the girl in red looked like now. After being in a daze for a moment, Yuan Fang put down his wine glass and waved his hand: "Invite her in." The shadow slowly came into Yuan Fang's eyes. That beautiful-looking woman, dressed in red and standing tall, appeared in front of Yuan Fang's eyes. She looked at Yuan Fang with a half-smile, half-smile, half-smile, half-sadness, and half-joyment. Without saying a word, he just stood quietly in front of the hall, looking at him with his watery eyes flashing with complicated expressions. "Xiangxiang, long time no see." After looking at each other for a long time, Yuan Fang finally spoke first, with a feeling of seeing old friends again in his tone. The woman in front of me is Sun Shangxiang. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out?????? Now that we meet again after many years, she is still as beautiful as ever, but she has added a bit of mature charm. "Brother Xianzheng, after so many years, you haven't changed at all." Sun Shangxiang opened her red lips lightly and said "Brother Xianzheng" like a silver bell blowing in the wind. The scream was so friendly, and it no longer had the childishness of the past. Nothing has changed. It¡¯s this sentence again. Yuan Fang's heart was slightly shocked, and he suddenly remembered that Ru Xu had spoken out loud. When the two meet again. Sun Shangxiang once said the same thing. These words made him suddenly realize something. He noticed a detail that he had overlooked for many years. And this detail is his face for more than ten years. In addition to adding a few years of vicissitudes, it turns out that it really has not aged at all. Yuan Fang has actually been aware of this for a long time. And his wife, children and subordinates, who spend time with him day and night, are not easily aware of the changes in his appearance. Sun Shangxiang has not seen him for many years, so he can naturally see it. "That biochemical virus. It has super strong regeneration ability. Maybe it is because of this regeneration ability that I can keep my appearance, which can be explained. However, if this continues, I will never grow old. Wouldn't it be like becoming immortal" Such a surprising thought suddenly flashed through Yuan Fang's mind. However, on this occasion, he had no intention of thinking about these things in detail. "Xiangxiang, when you come to see me alone, do you want to persuade me to stop attacking your elder brother, or do you want me to let your captured second brother go?" Yuan Fang's thoughts returned to the topic. The words revealed Sun Shangxiang's intention. Sun Shangxiang's slender body trembled slightly, but he sighed: "Brother, he is arrogant and has been unwilling to separate Jiangdong. That Zhou Gongjin is always instigating from the side. I have tried to persuade him several times, but eldest brother has always refused to listen. I have to lead my army to Jingzhou and fight against you, Brother Xianzheng, before I will be defeated by you, Brother Xianzheng. Now that he has lost his troops, he has suffered a big loss. Brother Xianzheng, you should be relieved. Why don't you stop the war? , Let¡¯s end this war.¡± As expected, Xiangxiang did come to persuade him to withdraw. He remembered that a few years ago, when he defeated Sun Ce in Hefei and marched into Ruxukou, Sun Shangxiang rode forward alone and begged him to retreat. At that time, Yuan Fang agreed to her request. At that time, the reason why he withdrew his troops was, on the one hand, to give Sun Shangxiang face, and on the other hand, because he had not yet established a strong naval force. Ruxuwu is close to the Yangtze River. Even if he attacks it by force at that time, unless he sends heavy troops to defend it, Sun Ce will use his navy to capture it again sooner or later. In this case, let¡¯s just sell some face to Sun Shangxiang. However, the current situation has undergone earth-shaking changes from that of the past. After pondering for a moment, Yuan Fang said lightly: "Xiangxiang, when I looked outside Ruxuwu for a while, you also begged me to withdraw my troops. At that time, do you still remember what I said to you?" Old memories are in my mind, Sun Shangxiang's body was slightly shocked. "Even if I retreat today, I will wipe out the north one day."He will send his troops south to capture Jiangdong. Xiangxiang, if you really think about your elder brother, instead of persuading me to retreat, it is better to persuade your elder brother Sun Ce, why not surrender the land of Jiangdong to me, so as to avoid the disaster of your Sun family being destroyed" "This is At that time, Yuan Fang said to Sun Shangxiang: "Now I have changed the dynasty and established the Daqi Dynasty. Your Sun family's separatist rule in Jiangdong is a legacy of the previous dynasty. Anything from the old era must be swept into the grave of history. This For once, no one can stop me, Yuan Fang, from unifying the world. Xiangxiang, please forgive me for not being able to agree to your request this time. ¡± Yuan Fang categorically stated his ambitions clearly and neatly, without any hesitation, and directly rejected Sun Shangxiang¡¯s request. Sun Shangxiang fell silent, his eyes changing uncertainly, and after a long time, he let out a long helpless sigh. It seemed that she had already expressed her feelings towards Yuan Fang. "Brother Xianzheng, you are right. Now you are the emperor of Daqi. As the saying goes, if there is no king in the world, how can you allow the existence of disobedient people. I really shouldn't make such a request to you for my own selfish reasons, but" Sun Shangxiang took a deep breath, "Brother Xianzheng, it doesn't matter if you don't agree to me, then I'll change it. A small request, I hope brother Xianzheng can be accommodating. " "What request, Xiangxiang, tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it." " Yuan Fang waved his hands and smiled. Sun Shangxiang no longer hesitated and said bluntly: "Actually, the real purpose of my coming here is to use myself in exchange for brother Xianzheng to let my second brother Sun Quan go. "That's it. Yuan Fang understood, and finally understood Sun Shangxiang's painstaking efforts. The beautiful woman in front of him is actually a person who values ??friendship very much. She would rather sacrifice her own freedom in exchange for her brother's life. What a person who values ??love and justice. What a strange woman! Yuan Fang stared at her for a moment, then sighed: "Xiangxiang, you are so attached to flesh and blood, your two brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan. But it may not be the same as you. You exchange yourself for Sun Quan. You think they'll do the opposite. Do you care about your life or death? " Sun Shangxiang was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said resolutely: "I believe it, eldest brother and second brother. Not caring about my life or death, I still want to ask brother Xianzheng to agree to my request. " Seeing Xiangxiang being so affectionate and loyal, Yuan Fang honestly admired her from the bottom of his heart. Thinking about his own army sweeping across the Yangtze River, the attack and destruction of the Sun family is just around the corner. Even Sun Ce is not his own. For an opponent, let alone a mere Sun Quan, it would be no big deal to spare his life. Thinking of this, Yuan Fang sighed softly and said, "Okay, I will agree to your request. However, how could I use Xiangxiang you as a hostage? If you want to stay or leave, I won't stop you. It's all up to you. " "It was agreed that I would be replaced by my second brother, so of course I would stay. " Sun Shangxiang said without hesitation. "Well, it's all up to you. "Yuan Fang nodded, waved his hands and said: "Come here, tell me my decree and let that boy Sun Quan go. " Chaisang City. People's panic and uneasiness spread crazily among the Caosun coalition forces in Chaisang. Just a few days ago, they had just experienced a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Chibi. A few days later, they Xiakou was captured again, the veteran general Han Dang was executed, and the news that the second son Sun Quan was captured was a heavy blow to the army's morale. In the lobby of the military mansion, Sun Ce was like an ant on a hot pot. Angry and anxious, "My second brother has just been captured. Shang Xiang, this damn girl, has gone somewhere. She is clearly going against me and deliberately doesn't want to marry Cao Pi. Unfortunately, this damn girl is becoming more and more disobedient to me." If so, it pisses me off. " Sun Ce, who was walking in the hall, was angry and hateful, and he kept swearing in his mouth. Just as Sun Ce was cursing, a soldier suddenly broke in excitedly, shouting excitedly: "Your Majesty, you two Young Master, Second Young Master is back. "Second Young Master is back?" Sun Ce was shaken, and for a moment, he couldn't react. But at this time, Sun Quan, who was injured and had half of his teeth missing, staggered into the lobby. "Zhong Mou!" " Sun Ce was so surprised that he rushed forward without saying a word and supported the injured Sun Quan. Sun Quan threw himself into his brother's arms and burst into tears. The two brothers hugged each other and cried with joy. After a while, Sun Ce recovered. When he came, he couldn't help but wonder: "Zhong Mou, didn't you fall into the hands of that traitor Yuan Fang? How did you escape? " "It's the little one¡ª¡ª" Sun Quan opened his mouth to say, it's his little one.Sun Shangxiang ran to Xiakou to beg Yuan Fang in exchange for his freedom. But as he spoke, Sun Quan suddenly realized that if he told the truth, everyone would know that the life of the second son of his Sun family was exchanged for his sister, a female. At that time, Sun Quan's reputation , where will it be placed? Considering this, Sun Quan hesitated for a moment, but said: "The thief Yuan looked down on me and did not send heavy troops to guard me. I took the opportunity to kill the guards and risked my own escape." "So that's it, he is indeed my Sun Ce's younger brother. " Sun Ce praised his younger brother, and with sudden murderous intent, he shouted proudly: "Since you have come back safe and sound, Zhongmou, what else do I have to worry about? Come on, please pass on my command quickly, I will do my best to serve Chai Sangzhi. Soldiers, go to Fankou Fortress to fight against the traitor Yuan Fang. " Seeing Sun Ce giving such an order, Sun Quan thought that his sister was still in Yuan Fang's hands. If he sent troops like this, he would offend Yuan Fang. Isn't it a worry? Knowing this, Sun Quan rolled his eyes a few times, but then he cupped his hands and said: "Brother's move is wise. That Yuan Fanggang just conquered Xiakou was due to arrogance and arrogance. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Now, if eldest brother sends troops to fight again, he will definitely be able to win a big victory." Defeat Yuan Fang's traitors." After hearing his brother's words, Sun Ce became more confident and immediately ordered Sun Quan to guard Chaisang. He, together with Cao Pi, led tens of thousands of allied naval forces to rush upstream to Fankou to fight Yuan Fang again. ¡¡ A few days later, Xiakou. Looking at the information that Yuan Fang gave her about Sun Ce leading his army to the west and taking the initiative to challenge, Sun Shangxiang bit her red lips tightly with a look of sadness and indignation on her face. "Xiangxiang, now, your brother has come to challenge me regardless of your life or death. What do you think I should do." Yuan Fang looked at Sun Shangxiang squarely. Taking a deep breath, Sun Shangxiang showed determination, as if he had made some kind of determination. Then, she looked directly at Yuan Fang and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xianzheng, whatever you want, just go ahead and do it. I just want to ask you one last thing. After you wipe out Jiangdong, except for my eldest brother and second brother, The rest of my Sun family members, I hope you can give them a way out." This is Sun Shangxiang's last request. Yuan Fang looked at that beautiful face, paused for a moment, and nodded solemnly. ?¡ ?The next day. In the early morning, the army of Qi, which had not been resting for a long time, once again marched out of Xiakou City. The big flag with the word "Qi" proudly fluttered in the wind. The army left the city in a mighty manner. Yuan Fang stood on the shore of the horse, watching the soldiers boarding the ship one after another, and looking at the rolling Yangtze River. In his blade-like eyes, cold murderous intent was gradually gathering. "Cao Cao has been destroyed, Sun Ce, now it is your turn."
