"Do you have something to come to me?" Liu Jing walked up to the pavilion and smiled.

"I didn't disturb you from discussing military information."

Sun Shangxiang forced a smile and said, "If you don't wait for you to finish, I'll talk to you again."

Liu Jing held her hand and smiled and said, "Let's go, I'm fine."

Sun Shangxiang nodded and followed Liu Jing toward the inner house.

"You want to go back to Jiangdong to visit your mother," Liu Jing asked for a moment of silence.

Sun Shangxiang said with tears in her eyes: "I received a letter from my sister-in-law, saying that my mother missed me and became sick. She fell ill. My husband, I want to go see my mother."

Sun Shangxiang's voice was crying. She took Liu Jing's hand and begged: "Let me go back."

Liu Jing reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Sun Shangxiang's eyes, stared at her, and smiled and said, "Where did the same Princess Shangxiang, who used to do his own things, have you gone? You should say, if you don't let me go back, I will kill you with one sword. This is the real you, you don't need to beg me."

Sun Shangxiang sighed, "If you are not my husband, why should I beg you?"

Sun Shangxiang stared at her husband for a moment, and seeing that he had never nodded, she felt disappointed, and turned around and walked slowly towards the inner house. Liu Jing looked at her back and walked away, and gently shook her head. It was not that he did not let Sun Shangxiang go back, but that they did not want to cause trouble when they were about to attack Guanzhong, and he needed to think about this matter carefully.

...........

At night, Liu Jing lay down beside his wife. He gently stroked his wife's high bulge and smiled and said, "Did I tell you that I will go to Hanzhong in two days."

"You told me, but I know if you don't say it. Everyone is saying they want to attack Guanzhong."

"This day will come soon."

Tao Zhan kissed his forehead and said softly: "Don't say this anymore, let's take a break early."

"Um"

Liu Jing agreed and blew out the candle. He slowly closed his eyes. After a while, he felt that his wife was not asleep, so he asked again: "What's wrong, you seem to have something to worry about."

Tao Zhan sighed softly, "Why don't you allow her to go back? She was very sad and cried all afternoon."

"I didn't want her to go back, I just need to think about it."

"Husband, I know you. Considering it is just your excuse. You actually don't want her to go back."

Liu Jing remained silent. After a while, Tao Zhan said quietly: "You value your country more than family affection. You forgot that she is also your wife. Her mother missed her and became sick. Even if she was a husband from a poor family, she would prepare a chicken for her wife to take her back to her parents' home. Although you have a high position and a powerful position, sometimes even small families cannot compare to them."

"Don't say it again"

Liu Jing sat up unhappily, "What do you know? Now is the critical moment to attack Guanzhong. I don't want something else in Jiangdong."

"That's why I said, you regard the country more than family affection."

Liu Jing was stabbed hard in his heart. He snorted, put on his shoes and walked out, "I'll go to Bao Niang's place."

Tao Zhan looked at her husband walking out quickly, and she couldn't help but shake her head. She felt that her husband was sometimes unkind.

Liu Jing walked out of the yard and a cold night wind blew, which made him shudder. He was upset and didn't want to go to Bao Niang's place. He walked along the lake with his hands on his back. In fact, he knew that with Jiangdong's strength, it was far from enough to fight west again, not to mention that Jiangdong did not have the courage to fight west again.

But Liu Jing always felt that when he fought with Cao Cao in Guanzhong, Sun Quan would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He would definitely take the opportunity to do something, perhaps targeting Cao Cao or himself. At this critical moment, news came from Jiangdong that Sun's mother was seriously ill, which made Liu Jing feel doubtful.

After passing through a forest, Liu Jing came to a yard without realizing it. He looked up at the yard and was stunned. He actually walked to Sun Shangxiang's yard. It was already the first time. The lights were still on in Sun Shangxiang's bedroom, and someone could be seen walking around.

Liu Jing hesitated for a moment and turned to leave, but saw Sun Shangxiang walking back worriedly, lowering her head, as if she didn't see him. At this time, Sun Shangxiang felt something and looked up and happened to meet Liu Jing.

"You...why are you here?" Sun Shangxiang asked in surprise.

Seeing that there were still tears in the corner of her eyes, Liu Jing stepped forward and gently hugged her into her arms, lowered her head and kissed her forehead, and asked with a smile: "This is dark, where did you cry?"

"You don't care"

Sun Shangxiang broke free from Liu Jing's arms and walked towards her yard with a cold face. Liu Jing turned around and looked at her, "Don't you let me enter the house?"

Sun Shangxiang ignored her, but instead she speeded up. When she walked to the gate of the yard, she suddenly stopped and said coldly: "I have written to tell my mother that she will not go back. Now you should be satisfied."

Liu Jing suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, and he suddenly realized that this was a bit too much for him. He walked forward again, grabbed her hand, pulled her in front of him, and said softly: "If you want to go back, go back, I will arrange for soldiers to protect you."

Sun Shangxiang was shocked all over. She raised her head in disbelief and looked at Liu Jing and asked, "You are serious."

Liu Jing nodded, pointed to the single robe on his body and smiled and said, "Your sister said I don't care about family affection and only care about interests, so she drove me out of the room. I think about it, it seems that I don't care about family affection, so I'll come to you and discuss how to go back."

Sun Shangxiang was suddenly overjoyed. Although she was angry with Liu Jing, she heard that he agreed to let her go back again, and a resentment in her heart disappeared. Seeing that Liu Jing was indeed wearing only a close-fitting underwear, she couldn't help but sneer, and pulled him and walked towards her bedroom.

Going to the second floor, Sun Shangxiang turned around and hugged her husband's neck and kissed his lips affectionately. The two hugged each other tightly. Sun Shangxiang panted and whispered in Liu Jing's ear: "Tonight... I must be pregnant with your child."

Liu Jing was in a state of excitement, and he picked up Sun Shangxiang's legs, blew out the lamp, and hugged her and walked towards the inner room.

.........

Tao Zhan's room was lit up again. She sat in front of the window and waited for the news uneasy. He just asked the maid to go to Bao Niang's yard to ask for the news, but learned that her husband did not go to Bao Niang's place, which made her a little uneasy. It was so late, where did the husband go.

She also felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have said that she shouldn't have said that she only cares about the country and family affection. In fact, her husband loves children very much and takes care of family affection very much. But he also has difficulties, but she cannot understand him.

"Hey where did he go?" Tao Zhan sighed and said to himself worriedly.

At this moment, her personal maid ran in and said, "Madam, I asked about the master's news."

"Where is he?" Tao Zhan asked hurriedly.

"In the second lady."

Tao Zhan was stunned. Her husband went to Shangxiang's place. What's going on? Did he change his mind again? Tao Zhan asked quickly: "Do they have a quarrel?"

The maid shook her head, "I heard from Aluo that the second lady smiled and pulled the master into the house. She was very happy. It seemed that the master would spend the night there tonight."

Tao Zhan suddenly felt relieved. She knew that the problem had been solved and her husband would definitely be able to go back to Jiangdong to visit relatives. That's good. Tao Zhan was also very happy. After all, her husband was not a kind person.

...........

Just as Liu Jing's Han army was preparing for the war in Guanzhong, Cao Cao did not take it lightly, and he was also deploying it.

On the basis of the 100,000 troops that had originally attacked Ma Chao, he mobilized another 100,000 troops from Bingzhou and Hebei to Guanzhong, which brought the Cao army to 200,000 troops to prepare for war, and the amount of food and grass stored in Chang'an alone was as much as 10,000 stones.

Cao Cao was very clear about the significance of this Guanzhong war. Once Liu Jing's army captured Guanzhong, then Longyou, Hexi and the counties within Guanzhong will become his belongings. Liu Jing will jump from a southern prince to a prince of the world, which will have a profound impact on the current situation of the whole world. At that time, Cao Cao will probably become Dong Zhuo's second.

Cao Cao had already set foot on the land of Guanzhong. Under the escort of ten thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, he came to Chang'an in a mighty way.

At this time, Chang'an was not Chang'an during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but also Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. Since Chang'an was destroyed by the Red Eyebrow Army at the end of Wang Mang, Liu Xiu established the capital of Luoyang, and Chang'an has declined since then.

However, although Chang'an is no longer a capital, it was still restored by the Han Dynasty and became one of the most famous cities in the world. In particular, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, and sent people to repair the city of Chang'an. It is still a tall and wide city.

Before Ma Chao's rebellion, Chang'an was guarded by Zhong Yao, the Sili-secret officer. After Ma Chao's rebellion, as Liu Jing's intention of attacking Guanzhong became more and more obvious, Cao Cao ordered his adviser Xun You to command the Guanlong army. At the beginning of the year, he appointed his son Cao Zhi as the governor of Guanzhong, commanding 140,000 troops, and Cao Zhang as the governor of Longyou, commanding 60,000 troops.

When Cao Cao's team slowly arrived at Chang'an City, Cao Zhi led Xun You, Cao Ren, Zhong Yao, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Sima Lang, Mao Jie and other military officers out of the city to greet him. Cao Zhi knelt down in front of his father's horse and kowtowed, "Cao Zhi greets his father, and meets the prime minister."

Everyone bowed and bowed together, "Welcome to the Prime Minister"
