Liu Bei was very surprised after hearing this. He knelt down and told his wife, "Now that my wife knows the truth of this matter, I don't dare to hide it anymore. If I don't go back, once Jingzhou is lost, I will be ridiculed by the world." , I am ready to leave, but I really can’t leave my wife, so I am very troubled!" Mrs. Sun said: "I am already your wife, so naturally I should listen to you and go with you."
Liu Bei said: "It's good that Madam can think so, but how can Wu Guotai and Wu Hou tolerate Madam leaving? If Madam takes pity on me, let me leave temporarily and let's separate!" After saying this, he burst into tears.
Mrs. Sun felt a little disgusted when she saw Liu Bei crying pitifully, but he was her husband after all, so she said: "Husband, don't worry about it. I'll tell my mother and she will definitely let us go."
Liu Bei said: "Even if you can make it through with Wu Guotai, Wu Hou will definitely not be able to do it. He will come out to stop it."
Mrs. Sun knew that it was a trick, and she also had resentment in her heart, so she said: "When my husband and I went to pay homage, we said we were going to the river to worship our ancestors, and then left without saying goodbye. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei knelt down to thank him and said, "If this is the case, I will never forget it whether I live or die! I hope this matter will not be leaked." So the two of them discussed quietly, and Liu Bei secretly called Zhao Yun over and said, "On the Zhengdan day, "Now, you take Jun Shi out of the city and wait at the official road. I will go to worship the ancestors instead, and then leave with my wife!" Zhao Yun accepted the order and left.
On the New Year's Day of the first lunar month of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Marquis Wu convened a gathering of civil and military officials to celebrate together. Liu Bei and Mrs. Sun went to see Wu Guotai. Mrs. Sun said: "My husband has been thinking about his parents' graves recently. He often said He said in his sleep that his hometown is Zhuojun, and he is always very sad after waking up from the dream. Today he plans to go to the river and to the north to offer sacrifices, hoping to ask for his mother's consent."
After hearing this, Wu Guotai smiled and said: "This is filial piety. Why don't you agree? Although you don't know my uncle and aunt, you can go to worship with him. It is also a wife's etiquette!" Mrs. Sun paid her respects. , and left.
This matter was hidden from Sun Quan. His wife took a carriage and put down some maids who were taking care of her. She only took some small money with her. Liu Bei got on his horse and led a dozen soldiers out of the city to meet Zhao Yun. Five hundred sergeants covered the front and rear. Yong left Nanxu and accelerated his journey.
It was the Chinese New Year that day. Sun Quan was very happy. He drank a lot and helped him into the back hall. The civil and military officials dispersed. When everyone knew that Liu Bei and Mrs. Sun had escaped, it was already very late. They were about to report to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was so drunk. It's amazing, I've been sleeping all the time, and it's the fifth watch.
The next day, Sun Quan knew that Liu Bei had left, and immediately summoned the civil and military forces to discuss. Zhang Zhaodao: "With Liu Bei gone today, some trouble will occur sooner or later. I hope to pursue him as soon as possible."
Sun Quan immediately ordered Chen Wu and Pan Zhang to take 500 elite soldiers to capture him day and night, and the two of them took the order.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Sun Quan was very angry. He wanted to serve Liu Bei with good food and drink, and also married his sister to Liu Bei. He actually ran away and smashed the jade on the table in anger. .
Cheng Pu said: "Even if my lord gets angry again, I don't think Chen Wu and I can catch two people!"
Sun Quan said: "How dare they disobey my order!"
Cheng Pu said: "The princess has been fond of practicing martial arts since she was a child. Her martial arts skills are not bad and she is upright and upright. Everyone is very afraid. This time she must be with Liu Bei. The two of them escaped together. The generals they are chasing will definitely do something when they see the princess." If you have any scruples, it will be difficult to start!”
Sun Quan became even more angry after hearing this. He took out his sword and gave it to Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, saying: "You two are bringing back my sister and Liu Bei's head with this sword! Anyone who offends will be killed immediately!" "After receiving the order, the two men rushed with a thousand soldiers and horses.
Liu Bei worked hard. The two of them took a break on the road that night and hurriedly traveled. When they arrived at the border of Chaisang, they suddenly saw dust rising behind them. Someone immediately came to report and said: "The pursuers have arrived!"
Liu Bei was a little panicked and asked Zhao Yun: "Now that the pursuers have arrived, how should we deal with them?"
Zhao Yun said: "My lord, please leave first, I will take the lead!"
When we turned to the foot of the mountain in front, a group of men and horses blocked the way first. The two generals in the lead shouted sharply: "Liu Bei should dismount and surrender early! We have been waiting here for a long time under the orders of Governor Zhou Yu!"
It turned out that Zhou Yu was afraid that Liu Bei would leave, and he was afraid that Xu Sheng and Ding Feng would lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to camp in key places. He often sent people to watch from high places, knowing that Liu Bei would definitely leave by land. It happened that the two of them saw Liu Bei that day, and they both picked up their weapons to block the way.
Liu Bei stopped his horse and was very panicked. He asked Zhao Yun: "There are intercepting troops and horses in front, and there are chasing troops and horses behind. There is no road in front and behind. What should we do?"
Zhao Yun had no choice for the moment, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Master, don't be afraid. The military advisor has three clever plans. Two of them have been dismantled, and there is no problem. Now that we are in danger, it is time to open the third one." ." After that, he opened the third one and showed it to Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei saw it, he hurriedly came to the car and told Mrs. Sun in tears, "I have something from my confidant, and I hope I can tell it according to the truth!"
Mrs. Sun said: "If you have any truth, husband, just tell me!"
Liu Bei said: "The Marquis of Wu and Zhou Yu conspired before to marry his wife to Liu Bei. In fact, it was not for his wife's consideration. They planned to trap me in Nanxu to gain Jingzhou. When Jingzhou gets it, they will kill me, so He used his wife to seduce me, Liu Bei. I took great risks to come to Nanxu because I knew that my wife had a man's mind and would take pity on me. Yesterday, the Marquis of Wu was planning to kill me. I had no choice but to say that Jingzhou When I was in trouble, I was trying to figure out a way to go back. Madam still didn’t dislike me, so we arrived at this place together. Now Wu Hou has sent people to chase me, and Zhou Yu has sent people to block the road in front. Only madam can solve this matter. If madam I don’t agree, I hope to die in front of Madam’s car to repay Madam for her virtue.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Sun was very angry and said: "My brother did this without treating me as his own flesh and blood. How can I face him again? I will definitely eliminate the current danger." After that, he got out of the carriage. He came out, opened the curtain, scolded Xu Sheng and Ding Feng, and said, "Are you preparing to rebel?"
When the two saw it was Mrs. Sun, they quickly dismounted, put their weapons aside, and said, "How dare we rebel? It was the order from Governor Zhou Yu to wait for Liu Bei at this place."
Mrs. Sun was very angry and said: "Zhou Yu, you traitor! I, Soochow, have never treated you badly! Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle of the Han Dynasty and my husband. I have explained to my mother and brother that I want to return to Jingzhou. Now The two of you went to the foot of the mountain and blocked our way with soldiers and horses. Are you planning to take away our couple's money?"
