Chapter 189: The Family Agrees on the Xuzhou Water Division
"Girl! What nonsense are you talking about! Sun Ce was immediately furious when he heard this, and then said to Zhao Xu: "Brother Zhao, my sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and I ask Brother Zhao to blame him for the sake of her youth." ”
Zhou Yu, Qiao Guolao and others also felt embarrassed when they heard it; You must know that in this era, it is the order of parents to talk about marriage, and the words of matchmakers are not up to the girl at all, not to mention that in such a large public, Sun Shangxiang actually publicly showed her love and refused to marry, but she committed a big taboo.
Zhao Xu was surprised, and he didn't know what to say. Sun Shangxiang saw that Sun Ce was angry, and he was not afraid, and shouted: "Marriage matters, how can you have the final say in the eldest brother, since ancient times, it has been the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, the mother is still here, how can you be in charge?" And you lied to me first, and you acted like this, and you became a prince in vain. ”
"You ......" Sun Ce trembled angrily, and muttered for a while before scolding: "If I don't teach you a good lesson today, I will be the lord of Jiangdong in vain, and I will not be your brother." "Anyway, I have to fight when I raise my fist.
Sun Shangxiang was frightened and hurriedly hid behind Zhao Xu; Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, "Eh, eh! Bo Fu, the little girl's family, is angry for a while, and he can't take it seriously, and he wants to be angry. ”
Sun Ce was in the way of everyone's face, and it was difficult to act again, and it was about to turn into a farce, Zhuge Liang laughed.
"Why is Kong Ming laughing?" Liu Bei asked suspiciously.
"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang let out a long laugh and said with a smile: "Liang pounced on a hexagram before, and the good omen of great luck was just seen at this time; General Bo Fu is going to be angry, and Miss Sun is also going to be panicking, can you listen to Liang's words? ”
"Oh! But it doesn't hurt to say, sir. "Sun Ce still respects Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are equally famous, Sun Ce also heard Pang Tong talk about it when he was in Jiangdong, but unfortunately Pang Tong needs to deal with Jiangdong affairs and has never come over, otherwise Wolong will have a good show against Feng Xiao.
Zhuge Liang smiled lightly, looked directly at Sun Ce with both eyes, and then looked at Sun Shangxiang who was hiding behind Zhao Xu, and said with a smile: "Hehe, General Sun, just now I heard that Sister Ling loves heroes, and now you see that there is a couple who are in harmony with heaven and earth in front of you, why not help!" As the saying goes: It is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage! ”
"Sir, you ...... You mean? Sun Shangxiang had already expressed his heart just now, and at this time, the person Zhuge Liang said could also be guessed by a fool, Sun Ce looked at Zhuge Liang in a daze, and asked, "Mr. refers to Brother Zhao?" Well...... That's good! In that case, let's do what the gentleman said! ”
Bringing Sun Shangxiang here, it is nothing more than getting married, Zhao Xu is the first general under Liu Bei, the hussar general of the Han court; Sun Shangxiang married him, and the strategic goal has been achieved, and he will not offend Sun Shangxiang; Zhou Yu and the others naturally had nothing to say, and they all nodded in agreement.
"Kong Ming, but ......" Zhao Xu is not a fool, he naturally knows that it is him, and hurriedly wants to stop it.
"Huh! Boxiong don't want to excuse himself, you two are a pair made in heaven, you and General Sun have not also become in-laws, the two families have taken over the good of Qin and Jin, and rejuvenated the Han Dynasty together, how is it not good? ”
"I hope Brother Zhao don't dislike it, and be allowed to contain it! We've got the gift ready, and it's right outside. Seeing that Zhao Xu seemed to have the intention of prevarication, Sun Ce got up and came to Zhao Xu's approach, bowing slightly.
"......" Zhao Xu had nothing to say for a while, the words were full, and if Zhao Xu wanted to resign again, he would not give face.
"Huh! Boxiong, you will take Miss Sun home to meet your two wives and get to know each other. Liu Bei said with a smile.
Sun Shangxiang heard this, his face turned red, he never thought that his dream would come true, in the early years, Sun Shangxiang heard about the heroes of the world, and admired Zhao Xu the most, as for Zhao Xu broke Yuan Shao, and served the Huns and other deeds Sun Shangxiang is even more familiar. A girl in her teens, who doesn't dream of having a prince charming, at this time her dream came true, she couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu in front of her blankly, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
Sun Ce suddenly remembered something, and stepped forward to Zhao Xu and said: "Brother Zhao, the matter of the sister-in-law's marriage, my mother strictly ordered that the groom should wait for the groom to return to Jiangdong to see him, and he is willing to marry his daughter, I don't know what you mean, Brother Zhao?" ”
I'll go. No way! This trick again? Zhao Xu couldn't help but be taken aback, the same is true for Liu Bei in history, and today ...... Oh! No, now that he is powerful, Sun Ce is here to beg for himself, so there is no need to worry. Subconsciously looked at Sun Shangxiang, only to see a pair of big watery eyes looking at him with anticipation, Zhao Xu's heart was suddenly melted, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "Even if the mother has words, then it's okay!" Filial piety comes first! ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhao." Sun Ce said overjoyed.
Zhou Yu saw that the family affair had been completed, so he suddenly stood up and said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, do you see the matter of these two alliances destroying Cao......"
"Hahaha! Well said, well said! Liu Bei's tone changed after speaking, and he said with a smile: "Today's double happiness is coming, the two families will always marry Qin and Jin, and don't talk about these, today we will be drunk and rest!" How is it? ”
"Uncle asked, the little nephew naturally didn't dare to disobey."
"Okay, let's get drunk today!"
……
"Yun Chang, what do you think of the pattern of our water army?"
At this time, Xuzhou Huaihe, Gan Ning was smiling and said to Guan Yu and the others. A large warship moored in the harbor in front of everyone, and twenty or thirty small and medium-sized warships accompanied by them, the largest of which has a displacement of nearly three hundred tons, is composed of iron sheet on the outside, and wood on the inside, this level of warship exists like a behemoth at this time, not to mention that the outside is still wrapped in iron sheets, in the eyes of people now, it is impossible for iron sheets to float, but today I do see it. Among them, Jingzhou's veteran general Wen Ping and others were shocked by this giant ship.
Guan Yu stood against the wind, stroked his beard, and said proudly to the old Jingzhou general beside him: "What do you think of our naval warship? Alas! Boxiong is really a genius, but according to the structure he painted to build a ship, I didn't expect to be able to make the iron sheet float on the water, Boxiong is really a god! ”
"This ...... It's also too spectacular, much stronger than my Jingzhou navy, but I don't know how this iron ship floats on the water? Could it be the Outer Heaven Divine Iron? It's a pity that the son went to Linzi and couldn't watch this spectacular scene! Wen Ping said with shocking emotion.
"We don't know about this, it's just that General Zhao Xu sent a few drawings last time, asking us to build ships according to the drawings on them, and said that the largest one can be made of iron sheets on the outside; We just had the attitude of giving it a try, but we didn't expect it to be successful! Gan Ning explained on the side.
It turned out that Zhao Xu was concerned about the construction of the naval army, and remembered some shipbuilding drawings in later generations, so he drew them and handed them over to Guan Yu and Tai Shici respectively; But it's a pity that Zhao Xu was only an army in his previous life, and as for warships, it was just a hobby, so he knew a little bit about it; I can't help but build a machine, but I still know how to displace it or something, and I can only make do with it.
Wen Ping and the others were full of surprise in their eyes, and they couldn't stop nodding. "But how long did it take to build a battleship like this? Although there are many craftsmen, it takes about ten months, and it is extremely expensive to use iron and wood, and now only one has been built! Alas! I heard that Ziyi also trained a navy in Tongguan, I don't know how it is better than us? Guan Yu said with a smile.
"We have more than 16,000 sailors here, and now the equipment is the first in the world, and I think Ziyi is not our opponent!" Gan Ning said with a smile, Gan Ning used to be a "Jinfan thief", he knew a lot about boats and water, and he also had confidence in his heart, and said confidently. Although this shipbuilding drawing is Zhao Xu's masterpiece, half of the formation of the Xuzhou Navy is the credit of Gan Ning, and Gan Ning has also spent most of his attention on it, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.
Guan Yu also smiled slightly when he heard this, and suddenly turned to Wen Ping and the others: "That's right! General Wenpin, you are from Jingzhou, good at understanding water, in addition to the water army, Xingba and I also have official affairs, and we can't be busy, so I beg you for something, this training water army is also bothering you to help. "Guan Yu is Guan Yu, and asking for people will not lose his prestige at all.
"Haha! This is natural, we are duty-bound! Wen Ping and the others were also overjoyed when they heard it, they had nothing to do in Xuzhou for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel that they were under the fence, very depressed, and now Guan Yu asked them to train the navy, which means that they have been treated as their own people; Second, I finally have something to do.
"That's it!" Guan Yu also smiled slightly when he heard this, looked at the majestic warship in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In the future, the world will be pacified, but you will have to contribute more, if the situation is gradually becoming clear today, I hope that in this generation, this troubled world can be solved!" The world of benevolence in the mouth of my brother should come early. ”
said that Zhao Xu couldn't shirk it, and accepted Sun Shangxiang's family business, and Sun Ce and others also prepared gifts and sent them to Zhao Xu's mansion; Then Zhao Xu took Sun Shangxiang home, and got to know Zhao Xue and Diao Chan, anyway, sooner or later they are a family, and if they meet early, they will avoid family conflicts, and Zhao Xu is not afraid of others gossiping. Most of the gossiping people are extremely psychological, and Zhao Xu doesn't care.
Unexpectedly, not only was Zhao Xu not embarrassed to lead Sun Shangxiang home, but Sun Shangxiang got along very well with Zhao Xue and Diao Chan, especially Ma Yunlu, the two of them met confidants.
I don't know what the woman is thinking in her heart, so easy to talk about. Zhao Xu reluctantly told Zhao Xue and Diao Chan about his relationship with Sun Shangxiang, both of whom liked Sun Shangxiang, so naturally there was no reason to object.
Sun Ce and the others also stayed in Linzi for a few days, and they were also frightened by the prosperous scene of Linzi and were extremely surprised. Ten days later, Zhao Xu went to Jiangdong with Sun Ce and others to meet Wu Guotai as previously agreed. Originally, Zhao Xu still had some doubts, but under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, he left with peace of mind; Liu Bei also cared about Zhao Xu's safety, and ordered Zhao Yun and Wang Yong as guards, plus more than 800 personal soldiers from his entourage, and left Qingzhou that day and went to Jiangdong.
