So Sun Quan heavily rewarded the outstanding generals such as Ling Tong and Gu Li, withdrew the defeated troops to Ruxu, reorganized the ships, and discussed launching attacks on both water and land at the same time. He also sent people back to the south of the Yangtze River and led some troops to fight.
Zhang Liao heard that Sun Quan was preparing to mobilize more troops and horses to attack. He was afraid that Hefei's troops were limited and could not resist the opponent's attack, so he sent Xue Ti to Hanzhong overnight to inform Cao Cao of the situation and request reinforcements. Soon the news spread to Hanzhong, and Cao Cao convened everyone for discussion and said, "Can we attack Xichuan at this time?"
He replied: "Now that Shuzhong has settled down and some preparations have been made, we cannot attack. It is better to withdraw our troops and horses to rescue Hefei, and then take advantage of the situation to attack Jiangnan."
So Cao Cao sent Xia Houyuan to guard Dingjun Mountain and other passes in Hanzhong, leaving Zhang Meng behind to guard other passes. The rest of the troops left and headed towards Hefei.
In the south of the Yangtze River, after Yu Yi went to Dongwu as an envoy, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to Chaisang. Through inquiring, he quickly came to Wu Guotai's residence and knocked on the door. Yi Ji took the documents and officials sent by Sun Quan to go there. The problem of dividing the three counties.
The young guard guarding the gate was a little impatient when he saw Yu Yi, who was wearing ordinary clothes, and said: "Where are you from? Tell me your name quickly!"
Yu Yi bowed and said with a smile: "I came from the north to pay a visit to Mrs. Sun!"
The guard put his hands on his hips, laughed loudly, and said: "How can people like you come in and out of our mansion at will? Leave quickly, otherwise I will be rude to you!"
Yu Yi didn't expect that the other party would be so arrogant. He used his inner strength and prepared to teach the other party a lesson. Later, he thought that it was Sun Quan's territory and prepared to retreat.
At this time, a maid passed by, asked about the guard, then walked up to Yu Yi and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to see our master?"
Yu Yi said: "We can't talk about this! I need your master to be in front of me before I can talk about it!"
The guard was very angry after hearing this and said: "The palace is such an important place, how can I allow you to act wildly?" After saying that, he attacked Yuyi.
Yu Yi hid behind the maid, and the guard couldn't do anything for a while, after all, she moved too fast.
After thinking for a moment, the maid said to Yu Yi: "Please wait a moment, I will report to our master." After saying that, she turned around and entered the mansion.
At this time, Sun Shangxiang was practicing archery. When she returned to Chaisang, she knew that she had been cheated and was a little angry. When she was about to leave, her freedom was restricted. Later, she thought that her love life with Liu Bei was not happy, so she gradually gave up her plan to leave. .
After the maid entered, she told Sun Shangxiang about Yuyi's request for an audience. Sun Shangxiang felt a little strange after hearing this and said, "Since the name is unknown, you can give him a try for me. If he is a person with low martial arts skills, there is no need to meet him! "
The maid took the order and walked out of the mansion, telling Yu Yi the situation.
Yu Yi was a little confused and said, "What is this?"
Before Yu Yi could prepare, the maid had already attacked. Yu Yi quickly took a few steps back and sighed: "Are every girl here so powerful? Who dares to marry her from now on!"
After hearing this, the maid's face turned slightly red and she continued to attack.
Yu Yi didn't fight back, just dodged around. After too many times, he felt it was boring, but he also felt that fighting with a woman like this was really disrespectful, so he quickly walked to the guard's side, pulled him, and fought back at the maid. , I saw Yu Yi gathering the guard together, waiting for the maid's attack to flaw, then smashed the guard over, and the maid and the guard fell together.
The maid stood up and prepared to attack again. When she saw the guard beside her, she remembered that Yu Yi could lift the guard up with one hand, which was enough to explain the problem, so she quickly entered the mansion and told Sun Shangxiang about it.
Sun Shangxiang was very interested after hearing this and quickly asked the maid to summon Yuyi to come in.
So Yu Yi and the maid came to Sun Shangxiang's archery range to watch Sun Shangxiang shoot arrows.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know Yu Yi, but after listening to the maid's explanation of the situation, he was very interested in Yu Yi's martial arts, so he handed the bow and arrow to Yu Yi and said: "You must have something to do with me, but I have a rule here, which is to shoot arrows." Meet my requirements."
Just as Yu Yi was about to explain, Sun Shangxiang had already handed the bow string to Yu Yi and stood aside.
Yu Yi looked at the target in front of him, feeling that it was still a bit difficult. Then he looked at the bows and arrows in his hands. There were more than twenty in total. He thought about the opponent's intentions. Yu Yi's flying knives were not a problem, but he really didn't know about his archery ability. .
When Sun Shangxiang saw Yu Yi didn't move for a long time, he said, "You can't be timid."
Yu Yi thought to himself: "How can I be looked down upon by my sister-in-law!" So he fiddled with it briefly, and then quickly shot twenty bows and arrows, only to see that all the bows and arrows hit the bull's-eye.
The maid walked to the target and took back the bow and arrow, and then told Sun Shangxiang the situation. After hearing this, Sun Shangxiang screamed and said: "Twenty bows and arrows passed through the bull's-eye, and they were still at the same position?"
Yu Yi put the bowstring aside and asked, "Mrs. Sun, do you think you can see me now?"
Sun Shangxiang had not yet come out of his surprise, he nodded quickly, and then led Yu Yi into the inner room.
Yu Yi drank some tea, stood up and bowed, saying, "Sister-in-law, I am Yu Yi."
Sun Shangxiang smiled and said: "You are Yu Yi, the fourth sworn brother of Taoyuan Four. I have heard about you for a long time, and now that I see you, you are indeed worthy of your reputation!"
Yu Yi said modestly: "Sister-in-law, thank you!"
After Sun Shangxiang learned Yu Yi's identity, he looked a little confused and asked, "How did you get here?"
Yu Yi then talked about returning the three groups in Jingzhou or going on a mission to Soochow.
Sun Shangxiang nodded and said, "Then you came here this time, is it your elder brother's intention?"
Yu Yi said: "No, I came here just to visit my sister-in-law. If necessary, I will see if I can take my sister-in-law back to Jingzhou."
Sun Shangxiang stood up and said: "Absolutely not. Now my brother Sun Quan has sent people to monitor me. If I are transferred, my uncle will be in danger."
Yu Yi saw Sun Shangxiang's hesitation and said, "Sister-in-law, if you don't want to go back to Jingzhou, you can tell me if you have any difficulties!"
Sun Shangxiang didn't expect Yuyi to see what he was thinking, so he told the truth.
Yu Yi sighed: "My eldest brother is over fifty and is not in very good health. In addition, Xichuan has just been pacified, so naturally he has no time to take care of the love between his children!"
Sun Shangxiang was originally a martial artist, and was usually regarded as a tomboy. Naturally, he was unconvinced and said, "Why should I be left a widow?"
Yu Yi nodded and said: "Actually, men and women are equal, and you shouldn't be my eldest brother's vassal. It's always good to have your own ideas."
Sun Shangxiang was very surprised after hearing this, because since he was a child, people have always told him that men are superior to women, and no one has ever said such things as equality between men and women. Suddenly, his favorable impression of Yu Yi exploded.
Yu Yi felt that persuading Sun Shangxiang was ineffective. Thinking that there were still many things in Jingzhou that needed to be dealt with, he paid his respects and said, "I visited my sister-in-law. She is living a good life. That is enough. There are still many things in Jingzhou, so I will do it first." left."
Sun Shangxiang was a little reluctant to leave, so he said: "Uncle finally came to Jiangnan, why don't you let me accompany him to play here for a few days!"
