Ma Chao surrendered!
That day, Li Hui led Ma Chao and Pang De to surrender. Ma Chao still had 30,000 soldiers under him, and they surrendered to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was very happy and released Ma Dai to meet his brother. He also hosted a banquet to entertain Ma Chao and the others.
When Ma Chao surrendered, he was overjoyed to see Ma Dai safe and sound, and when he saw Liu Bei treat him so warmly, he was even happier."If I knew this, I would have come to join Liu Bei.”
The next day, Liu Bei wanted to lead his troops back to Mianzhu and continue to attack Chengdu. He left 10,000 troops at Meng Da and Huo Jun. He led himself to the palace, Ma Chao, Wei Yan and others will follow him back to Mianzhu. At that time, Xue Bing had just gotten a noble son and had not returned with Liu Bei.
After more than a month, Xue Bing was playing with the child at home. Sun Shangxiang was watching happily from the side and said,"Imperial Uncle led the army to attack Chengdu, why didn't husband follow Imperial Uncle?”
Xue Bing's hands didn't stop, and he didn't even raise his head. He smiled and said,"My lord, there are countless battle generals by your side. I won't be able to get any credit even if I go. Why don't I stay here and accompany you?”However, he thought to himself," Once Liu Bei returns, Ma Chao will scare Liu Zhang into surrendering the city. I won't have anything to do even if I go. Why don't I stay here for a few more days? It won't be too late to go when things are settled in Chengdu."”
"Why do you say that, husband?" Sun Shangxiang asked. A real man should naturally make more achievements. How can he abandon himself because of a concubine?”When Xue Bing heard this, he hurriedly said," Actually, that Liu Zhang has already run out of luck and has decided to surrender. I have nothing to do if I go, so I'll just wait here and return with you!"”Sun Shangxiang was surprised." I heard that Liu Zhang still has tens of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, Yizhou is a fertile land. There must be a lot of food stored in the city. If we defend it to the death, I'm afraid it won't be able to be conquered in a short time. Why do you want to surrender?"”
When Xue Bing heard this, he really didn't know how to answer and could only say,"Liu Zhang is the ruler of Yizhou. Now that the entire territory is in the hands of the lord, it is inevitable that he will be discouraged. In addition, he pities the people and is afraid that they will not resist and surrender the city.”
Sun Shangxiang pursed her lips and said,""I don't believe it. How could the governor of a state give up his city so easily?”With that, she picked up her son, who was crying softly, and fed him milk.
Xue Bing watched from the side. Seeing his son eating happily, he unconsciously swallowed his saliva. Coincidentally, Sun Shangxiang saw it and her fair face turned red. She spat,"What are you looking at?" Xue Bing only smiled, but Sun Shangxiang couldn't stand his gaze. After feeding her son, she quickly tidied up her clothes. However, Xue Bing suddenly said,"Why aren't you feeding your daughter?"”
Sun Shangxiang looked at her daughter and saw that she was sleeping soundly. She said,"I'm sleeping soundly and not hungry. Why should I feed you?”Who knew that the moment she said that, Xue Bing cried as if she was talking to her daughter,"Daughter! Your mother is so heartless! I don't care if you live or die! I won't even feed you milk! Poor child!" Then, she wailed loudly. However, after wailing for a long time, not a single tear fell. Sun Shangxiang and Xue Bing were used to their usual banter, so they did not mind. However, at this moment, Lady Xue opened her eyes and saw her mother beside her. She immediately raised her small hands and cried out non-stop.
When Xue Bing heard the voice, she immediately looked at her daughter. Seeing this, she immediately smiled and said,"My daughter is awake. She looks hungry.”Then, he looked at Sun Shangxiang with a smirk. Sun Shangxiang glared at him hatefully, then picked up her daughter and turned to the side to feed the baby. When Xue Bing saw this, he was dumbfounded. He wanted to go around, but Sun Shangxiang moved as soon as he moved. In the end, after going around a few times, he could only see his back and gave up.
Just as the two of them were laughing, a guard suddenly came to report that Liu Bei had sent a letter. Xue Bing then said to Sun Shangxiang,"I think there is already a result in Chengdu. I will be back soon!”Then, he left the bedroom.
In the hall, he saw a general standing there and bowing to him,""General Zhang Ni greets General!" When Xue Bing heard this, he exclaimed softly,"You are Zhang Yi?"
"General, have you heard of my name?" the general asked suspiciously.”
"I've heard people mention it before!" Xue Bing said.
When Zhang Yi heard this, he said with an embarrassed expression,""A meager name cannot enter the ears of the general!”After saying that, he had an excited look on his face. He never thought that Xue Bing would have heard of him.
When Xue Bing saw this, she smiled and thought,""Looking at him now, he is only 17 or 18 years old. He is still a young man! If it wasn't for the fact that I'm not from this era, how would I know that this young general in front of me is a general of the late Shu Kingdom?”Xue Bing examined it for a moment before focusing his attention on the letter in his hand. After reading it, he said to Zhang Ni,"My lord, do you have any other orders?"
"I have no other orders," said Zhang Ni."I'm only at your command."”
"I understand!" Xue Bing said.”"Go and rest," he said."Tomorrow, we'll return to Chengdu together."”He then ordered his attendants to arrange for Zhang Ni to stay. After Zhang Ni left, he returned to his room.
When Sun Shangxiang saw Xue Bing enter, she said,"Are you leaving? But Imperial Uncle wants to transfer you to attack Chengdu?”
"It's true that I'm going to Chengdu, but not to fight." Xue Bing smiled.”
"Then what?" Sun Shangxiang asked curiously.”
Xue Bing smiled and walked in front of Sun Shangxiang. He gently pinched her cheek and said with a smile,"Liu Zhang has surrendered, and Chengdu is already in the Lord's hands! The Lord said in his letter that everything had been settled and that he hoped I would return as soon as possible. He's asking me to go back!"
"Liu Zhang really surrendered?" Sun Shangxiang asked in surprise.”Then, he frowned and said," Liu Zhang has a province and sufficient rations. He also has many elite soldiers and generals. How could he be defeated by Imperial Uncle in less than a year?"”She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how Liu Zhang was defeated so quickly.
"What's so strange about that?" Xue Bing asked. Estranged from the wise minister, did not listen to the advice of the wise minister, and constantly made decisions. I really can't think of a reason why he can win.”"Let's not talk about it anymore. Rest early today." I've already given my orders. Tomorrow morning, we'll set off for Chengdu.”So he and Sun Shangxiang went to bed early.
The next morning, Xue Bing got up and ordered the guards to pack up. Sun Shangxiang, the two maidservants, and Granny Wang packed up her things. Granny Wang was the one who had delivered Sun Shangxiang's baby. Xue Bing specially asked her to stay and take care of Sun Shangxiang. After all, other than the men in the family, there were only young maidservants. None of the elders knew how to take care of children, so they hired her as a housekeeper.
Meanwhile, everyone in the residence had been cleaning up since dawn and only finished cleaning up after three sticks in the morning. The general guarding the pass, Meng Da, had prepared a carriage for Xue Bing. Everyone slowly came out of the pass when it was almost noon.
Xue Bing and Zhang Ni discussed the route as they walked. According to Xue Bing's intention, he passed Guangyuan from Jiameng, fled to Peicheng, and then arrived in Chengdu. Back then, he had led his troops here through this path. However, most of the roads were mountain roads, so it was not easy to travel. Zhang Ni suggested that they go to Guangyuan, then go down the waterway, pass Brazil, run to Deyang, and then turn to Chengdu. Xue Bing heard that this path was slightly easier to walk and agreed.
"However…" Zhang Ni saw that Xue Bing was about to take this path and hurriedly said,""Now that my lord has just conquered Yizhou, there are many bandits hiding in the mountains, especially in Brazil. My lord has just conquered this place and has yet to send troops to eliminate the mountain bandits.”
"I'm not afraid of an army of millions," Xue Bing said with a smile."What's there to be afraid of?" Besides, there are dozens of elite cavalry around him, even if there are more than a hundred mountain bandits, it is not worth mentioning!”So he ordered people to flee to Guangyuan, and then along the water road to Brazil.
Actually, Xue Bing wasn't being arrogant. The fifty cavalry he brought with him were the soldiers he personally trained back in Jing State. At that time, Xue Bing personally trained 500 soldiers as personal guards. These 500 people were carefully selected from tens of thousands of soldiers. Apart from their strong individual battle strength, they were also trained by Xu Shu and Yu Jin and were very proficient in teamwork. Xue Bing could even say that with these 500 guards, he would dare to charge into Cao Cao's million strong army. However, if he really had to do this, he wouldn't do it. Because if he did, these 500 elite soldiers would also be lost in the enemy's formation.
Xue Bing led 50 elite cavalry and protected the chariot to Guangyuan. They rested for a night and then asked Zhang Ni to go ahead and prepare the boat so that they could go down the river.
Seeing Zhang Ni leave, Xue Bing rode his horse to Sun Shangxiang's carriage and said,""After half a day, we can sail south and avoid the bumpy journey.”
Sun Shangxiang stuck her head out of the car and said,"I'd rather ride a horse, but these two little ancestors have to be coaxed by me personally!”
Xue Bing couldn't stop laughing when he heard this. Originally, Sun Shangxiang wanted to pull him along, but he couldn't stand the two little ancestors crying for a while. In the end, he still took the horse and went ahead, hiding far away.
Sun Shangxiang saw that Xue Bing only smiled and said angrily,"You only know how to laugh. You rode your horse far away and left me here. Why don't we switch? I'll ride the horse, you ride the car!"
When Xue Bing heard this, he shook his head like a rattle-drum. However, Sun Shangxiang glared at him and said,"I'm just asking you to change to the car, not to kill you! Let me go out and get some fresh air while these two little ancestors are asleep!”
"Really?" Xue Bing asked.”
Sun Shangxiang hurriedly nodded and said,"I'm asleep, I'm asleep, I'm really asleep!”However, the body hidden in the carriage signaled to the maidservants behind him to quickly shut the mouths of the two little ancestors. When the two maidservants saw this, they immediately took some food to tease the two children. If they really couldn't do it, they would stretch out their fingers and let the children bite first.
Xue Bing listened outside the car for a moment, but did not hear the child's voice. He only knew that the child was really asleep, so he said,"Alright then! I'll switch with you for a while!" He jumped down from his horse.
Sun Shangxiang was already prepared. When she saw Xue Bing get off the horse, she immediately jumped down from the carriage and rode to the front without even looking back. When Xue Bing saw this, he became suspicious. When he climbed into the car and saw two pairs of cute big eyes staring at him, he knew that he had been fooled.
However, it was too late to call Sun Shangxiang now. She could only carry Chengping in her left hand and Yuji in her right. Xue Bing was really surrounded by people and could not find any time to spare. He could only sigh in his heart."How should a husband respond to a wife like this?”Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt his hands wet. He looked down and saw that the two children had peed. The pitiful General Xue could only throw away his halberd and wave his diapers to fight with his own child.
