Qiao Xuan and his entourage hurried up, galloped for a day and a night, and finally arrived at Chaisang under Gan Ning's rule.
At this moment, Gan Ning had just received the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, ordering him and Li Yanbing to march to Changsha in two ways.
This made Gan Ning a little stunned, and he didn't know why the Son of Heaven was so angry, and suddenly made an order to attack Changsha But as a subordinate, Gan Ning could only follow the king's orders, prepare grain and grass to straighten out the baggage, and send people to the south to contact Li Yan, preparing to meet the Sun family.
And the arrival of Qiao Xuan and his entourage just solved the doubts in Gan Ning's heart.
Gan Ning and Qiao Xuansu had never met, so naturally they didn't know each other, but they knew that the burly Deng Taishan was the deputy captain of the Imperial Forest Army next to the Son of Heaven.
Ordered someone to set up a banquet to entertain Qiao Xuan and Deng Taishan, and after three rounds of drinking, he figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and laughed loudly: "It is said that Chong Guan is angry and red-faced, I am wondering why the Son of Heaven moved the wrath of thunder, the arrival of the two of them just solved Gan Ning's doubts, and His Majesty's true temperament is also a person."
"For the sake of the little girl, the Son of Heaven has provoked the thunder and anger, and General Gan has been affected" Qiao Xuan hurriedly got up and apologized to Gan Ning.
Gan Ning laughed loudly and said: "The Son of Heaven favors the two concubines so much, Duke Qiao must be the future national abbot, and in the future, Gan Ning will have to rely on Duke Qiao's care, how dare he be involved." ” Since things have changed, Gan Ning is not in a hurry to march, after all, Huang Zu, who is entrenched in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, has ill intentions, and if he takes advantage of his march to Changsha, Chaisang will fall into an unfavorable situation.
The current situation in the world, the princes are numerous, each with their own troops, densely packed with dogs' teeth, every step must be cautious, otherwise it will fall into a predicament.
Now that Xiao Qiao came back safe and sound, maybe this war could be eliminated, so Gan Ning chose to wait a few more days to see if the Son of Heaven would take back his fate After resting in Chaisang for a night, Qiao Xuan and the others changed horses, and they all carried spare horses, and then bid farewell to Gan Ning and continued to gallop towards Jinling.
After another day and a night of wild running, Qiao Xuan and his party finally arrived at the foot of Jinling City.
Deng Taishan and the others are all martial arts practitioners, and their bodies can still bear it, but poor Qiao Xuan is a Confucian student, but he is too tired to get off the horse.
Fortunately, Deng Taishan was very powerful, so he picked Qiao Xuan off the horse, placed him in the post house, and ordered: "Qiao Gong and Ling Yan will rest in the post house for the time being, and Rong will go first to report the news of the little lady's safe return to Your Majesty." ” Qiao Xuan's limbs were sore, lying on the bed, and he advised: "Captain Deng must convey what Zhou Gongjin said to His Majesty, it is best to let His Majesty take back his life and avoid this war, otherwise because the little girl caused this battle, my Qiao family's sin will be great."
"Qiao Gong rest assured, Taishan will convey it word for word."
Deng Taishan said goodbye to Qiao Xuan, left the post house, and rode straight to Qianyang Palace to face the monarch and go to his life.
Qianyang Palace, Taiji Palace, Imperial Study.
Liu Wei looked at the folds on the table, and his brows were locked for some time.
Even when he heard Deng Taishan's report that Xiao Qiao had returned safely, he didn't show too much joy, just nodded slightly.
"Zhou Yu is still familiar with current affairs, it's good to be back" There are already Mu Guiying, Feng Yu, Tang Concubine in the harem, and the only empress in history, Wu Ruyi, this woman who is charming and charming, looks back and smiles at the six palaces, and it will not be long before she will become a beautiful girl on her bed.
In addition, there is Shangguan Wan'er, a talented woman who is already meat in the bowl, soup in the pot, and Da Qiao, who is raised in the deep boudoir; Now Liu Wei's possessiveness for Xiao Qiao has faded a lot.
If it is said that this time Chongguan sent troops to Changsha in a rage, it is better to protect the face of the Son of Heaven In Liu Bian's heart, he gave Qiao Xuan a pair of jade ruyi, which was worth enough to exchange for 20,000 stone of grain, which was used to thank Sun Ce for saving Xiao Qiao, which was already benevolent and righteous.
In love and courtesy, Sun Ce should be released happily, but he didn't expect this guy to have Long Wangshu and put forward three conditions to himself, which Liu Wei absolutely couldn't bear Therefore, Liu Wei was willing to risk Xiao Qiao's death and still made an order to let Gan Ning and Li Yan march on both roads.
To some extent, this contest has risen from the level of competing for Xiao Qiao to the point of maintaining the face of the Son of Heaven.
This battle for Xiao Qiao is actually a "dark war", and it can't be put on the table, and there are very few people who really know the cause of the war.
In terms of Sun Ce, it is by no means a glorious thing to take a girl to blackmail the Son of Heaven.
And for Liu Wei, as the Son of Heaven, being angry for a girl is also incredible.
Liu Wei understood that the reason why Sun Ce dared to put forward the threat so unscrupulously was that he was sure that he would not dare to send troops under the pretext of robbing Xiao Qiao; Either accept the conditions he proposed, or watch Xiao Qiao stay in Jingnan.
But even if Liu Wei knew that his behavior was inappropriate, he must not let Sun Ce Xiao'er lead him by the nose, and this feeling would be as unhappy as he was Liu Wei really wanted to tell Sun Ce, you forgot that there is a saying called "When the Son of Heaven is angry, millions of corpses are ambushed, and thousands of miles of blood are shed", which angered the emperor, whoever reasoned with you The emperor will reason with you when he wants to reason with you, and when he doesn't want to reason with you, he can blow you up with any reason So, Liu Wei casually found a reason, and wrote in the edict issued to Gan Ning and Li Yan that this time the attack on Sun Jian was to punish Sun Jian for his previous disobedience to rob the queen mother, so that the teacher would be famous.
The real reason for the war, you Sun Ce know, I Liu Wei know, this is enough, isn't your grandson holding Xiao Qiao to blackmail Lao Tzu, then open your eyes and see if I, the Son of Heaven, will be at your mercy for a woman "I am lucky, and the same is true for women who lose my life, as the Son of Heaven, how can I let others slaughter the flesh" It was precisely in order to win this tone of betting, in order to win this secret battle with Sun Ce, that Liu Wei even rejected the suggestions of Liu Ji, Xun Yu and others.
After these humerus ministers learned the news that the Son of Heaven had ordered Gan Ning and Li Yan to march into Changsha, they came to meet the saint one after another, and advised Liu Wei to focus on the crusade against Yuan Shu first, and put Sun second.
Yuan Shu arrogated the emperor, he was actually the number one national thief, as the Son of Heaven, he must stand up and eradicate it first, this truth Liu Wei did not understand, but in order to win the bet, he could only arbitrarily reject Liu Ji and Xun Yu's suggestions.
Even if you want to kill Yuan Shu, you have to beat Sun Ce hard first, and let him pay the price for his arrogance And now, this secret war finally ended with Zhou Yu's mediation and the private release of Xiao Qiao.
Between Liu Wei and Sun Ce, it is difficult to say who is the real winner.
Of course, being able to welcome back Xiao Qiao can be regarded as a long-cherished wish in Liu Bian's heart, and from this level, Liu Biao can be regarded as winning Sun Ce.
It's just that now Xiao Qiao's return has made the young emperor's heart unable to ripple.
"Sanbao, you go to Di Renjie and ask him to arrange an idle position for Qiao Xuan in Jinling, and move Qiao's family from Wu County to Jinling to live."
Liu Wei came back to his senses from the thoughts of the secret war and instructed Zheng He.
Zheng He bowed down and received the order: "The slave obeys the order" Deng Taishan bowed down again and asked: "Qiao Xuan's father and daughter are now waiting in the post house, I don't know if His Majesty has summoned them."
"I'm busy with official business right now, I don't have time to summon them, let's talk about it later" Liu Wei waved his hand and told Deng Taishan to retreat, "In the future, the Qiao family will be entrusted to you to take care of it, don't make any mistakes, let alone let the Qiao sisters lose it again." ” Deng Taishan guessed that the Son of Heaven was reluctant to summon Qiao Xuan's father and daughter now because he was in a sensitive period, and he tried to avoid being guessed the true intention of sending troops to Changsha, so he immediately received the order to retire: "Weichen understands that everything falls on Xiao Xiaoxiao."
Xiao Qiao's matter has finally come to an end here, although there are some twists and turns, but he can return to Zhao completely, and the ending is quite complete.
Liu Wei could finally breathe a sigh of relief and aim his future strategic goals at Yuan Shu, who was across the river.
The nature of Yuan Shu's arrogance as emperor is different from that of Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others, no matter what, the king belongs to the emperor, at least he is still a courtier of the Han family.
But the nature of Yuan Shu's emperor is different, this is completely out of the world of the Liu family, and he has established a court on his own.
Since Liu Wei regarded himself as the Son of Heaven and did not take the lead in standing up against Yuan Shu, how could he convince the people of the world After figuring out this truth, Liu Wei immediately sent another oracle, ordering Gan Ning and Li Yan to abandon their plans to attack Changsha, continue to train soldiers and horses in their respective jurisdictions, and wait for another dispatch.
After the edict sent to Chaisang and Nanchang, Liu Wei came straight to see the Queen Mother, and after the ceremony, he directly explained his intentions: "Queen Mother, the child plans to postpone the big gift of marrying the Wu family into the palace, I don't know what the Queen Mother wants."

Empress Dowager He was stunned: "There are five or six days before the wedding, inside and outside the palace and the Lu family are intensively preparing for the marriage, why did the emperor suddenly regret it?"
"Not a reversal, but a postponement" Liu Wei patiently explained to his cheap mother, "Yuan Shu suddenly usurped the emperor, and the child, as the son of heaven, should personally crusade, so as to inspire the dynasty and make the princes of the world look sideways and submit."
If you are still singing and dancing in Jiangdong, and the concubine marries a concubine, it will inevitably make the princes laugh, so I decided to postpone the entry of the Nawu clan into the palace, and after destroying the traitor Yuan Shu, it is not too late to perform the concubine ceremony."
"What the emperor said also makes sense" He Hou nodded in approval, which was regarded as agreeing to the request of the Son of Heaven, and said with a regretful face, "I'm afraid that after the Lu family hears the news, they will be disappointed and unable to sleep."
Liu Wei said with a smile: "Destroying Yuan Shu is already a top priority, if Yuan Shu is not destroyed, the child will not be able to sleep, in order to let the child sleep well, let the Lu family temporarily lose sleep for a few days."
Leaving the palace of the Empress Dowager, Liu Wei instructed Zheng He: "Immediately convene hundreds of civil and military officials to come to the court to discuss, I have decided to change course, temporarily let go of the Sun family, and first pour the power of Jiangdong to eradicate the traitor Yuan Shu" t1706231537:
