When Wu Guotai heard this, she groaned, and she also heard a thing or two about Cao Cao's millions of troops and the tiger's dominance in the Central Plains. Wu Guotai thought to himself, although Jiangdong has enough soldiers and food, but Cao Cao's army is enough for millions of people, if he really breaks through Jingzhou in the future, the troops are on the border, how can Eastern Wu resist. Immediately, Wu Guotai thought that her daughter was arrogant, and countless Jiangdong talents had come to intercede one by one, but none of them entered her eyes and refused. When a man marries a woman, Sun Shangxiang's lifelong event has always been her heart disease. Wu Guotai was full of thoughts for a while, and the anger on his face was slightly restrained, and he said to Qiao Guolao.

"If it is a flat wife, it will not disgrace the old daughter. But this matter must be agreed by Cao Mengde. ”

"Haha. Madame don't have to worry about it. Cao Mengde's place, the old man has his own plans. But for now, it will take my wife to convince my son-in-law to do so. ”

Wu Guotai listened to the words, groaned for a while, and still agreed. After the two elders discussed for a while, Wu Guotai summoned Sun Ce to meet him. After a while, Sun Quan entered the back hall to see Wu Guotai. Wu Guotai suddenly beat his chest and cried, Sun Ce was so anxious on the spot that he was at a loss, and hurriedly asked.

"Why is Mother troubled? If a child has a deficiency, even if he scolds, he must not be angry and hurt himself! ”

Wu Guotai glared at Sun Ce angrily and shouted angrily.

"You don't have to be pretentious here, you have always regarded your old body as nothing! The old man asks you, do you remember what my sister said to you when she was in danger!!? ”

Sun Ce was startled and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

"How dare a child forget! My mother said that the second mother is like a mother! Don't be presumptuous! Mother has something to say, why bother? Seeing this, Wu Guotai stopped crying for a while and shouted.

"The old body asks you, recently the King of Wei intends to marry my Dongwu, but is there such a thing!?"

When Sun Ce heard this, he was shocked, knowing that Wu Guotai regarded Sun Shangxiang as a pearl in his palm, and he couldn't hide it, so he hurriedly bowed.

"Yes, there is such a thing. But the old thief wanted to take my sister as a concubine. The two are not in the same generation, their ages are not compatible, and the position of concubine is really insulting to my sister, so the child refuses. ”

Wu Guotai listened to the words and scolded.

"I am your mother, and this matter is related to your sister's life, so she should be entrusted to me."

Sun Ce and even filial piety did not dare to make mistakes, but admitted their mistakes. Qiao Guolao also persuaded him, and Wu Guotai was angry. Qiao Guolao then said.

"Xiang'er's eyes are higher than the top, Jiangdong has so many talents, but no one has entered her eyes. She is a daughter's house, and she will eventually marry a wife. Cao Cao's power leans towards the government and the opposition, although he does not have the position of the ninety-five, but he has the truth of the ninety-five. In the whole world, heroes should take Cao Cao first. Xiang'er is definitely willing to marry Cao Cao. What's more, if the two families of Sun Cao can marry, it can be said that it will be beneficial and harmless for Dongwu. Just now, the old man had discussed with his wife for a while, and his wife said that if Cao Cao was willing to marry Xiang'er as his wife, he would be willing to agree to this marriage. I don't know what Bo Fu means? ”

Qiao Guolao said, Sun Ce secretly looked at his mother, and saw Wu Guotai glaring at him, Sun Ce secretly complained, but in the end he didn't dare to disobey Wu Guotai and agreed to this matter.

"It is the mother's will, how dare the child be disobedient! When the child came, he summoned Liu Ye to the court to discuss the matter with him. ”

When Wu Guotai heard this, she smiled with relief, and then ordered Sun Ce to deal with this matter, so as not to ruin this marriage. Sun Ce agreed until he exited the back hall.

That night, Sun Ce summoned Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and other strategists to discuss the matter, and Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Ce's face was unwilling, so he said to Sun Ce.

"The lord thinks to himself, what is the Hebei giant Yuan Shao in the past? Yuan Shao sat in the land of Qinghai, Hebei and Youzhou, with nearly six or seven hundred thousand soldiers, and Cao Cao's soldiers were few at that time, and he was still able to overcome Yuan Shao and seize the land of Hebei. What's more, today there are half of the country and millions of people! If the lord allied with Jingzhou and used armor in vain, this so-called negative salary to fight fires is also! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't move first. Gu Yong, who was on the side, also said with a postscript.

"Now Jingzhou is surrounded by enemies, and it is about to be a catastrophe. Zhuge Kongming is helpless, so he wants to borrow my Jiangdong soldiers to refuse, the lord is a wise person, so what to do for it, it is advisable to listen to Zibu's words. ”

Sun Ce took a big breath, and then immediately looked at Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu had been closing his eyes just now, and then he seemed to notice Sun Ce's gaze, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a smile.

"According to Yu's opinion, Cao Mengde's foundation is solid and overwhelming, even if my Dongwu and Zhuge Liang join forces to resist it, the victory is difficult to decide. On the contrary, if I unite with the Cao clan and use the strength of the two forces, Jingzhou will undoubtedly be broken. Now you can discuss the marriage with Liu Ye first, and if the two reach an agreement, they will quickly behead Zhuge Liang and send it to Cao Cao. The Cao and Sun families will not send troops in the future, and it will not take a few months, and Jingzhou can be broken with one drum! ”

Sun Ce heard that Zhou Yu also taught him this, and temporarily decided to unite with Cao Cao. Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong were all overjoyed and retreated. The next day, Sun Ce summoned Liu Ye to see him and said that he meant to Wu Guotai. Liu Ye had already learned about this from Qiao Guolao, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, and he promised to rush back to the Central Plains on the same day, and he would definitely make a good deal with the matter. Sun Ce was overjoyed and sent someone to send Liu Ye out of Jiangdong. Liu Ye packed up that day, took the servants, left Jiangdong, and hurried away in the starry night of the Central Plains.

Sun Ce intended to unite with Cao Cao, and when Lu Su heard about it, he was shocked, and quickly entered the post house with Zhuge Jin to see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang saw that Lu Su and Zhuge Jin were all anxious, but they were not surprised, and they were calm.

Seeing this, Lu Su exclaimed urgently.

"Kong Ming knows that a catastrophe is coming!?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan lightly and said with a smile.

"Oh? I want to hear about it! ”

"Oops! Cao Cao wanted to marry Eastern Wu and marry Qin and Jin. Previously, my lord had refused this matter, but I didn't know that Qiao Guolao told Lao Guotai about it. Guotai came forward to say to my lord, my lord is a loyal and filial person, and he does not dare to disobey Guotai's will. Now that Liu Ye has returned to the Central Plains to report the matter, once the document is sent to Jiangdong. My lord will behead Kong Ming and give it to Cao Cao as a gift for the union of the two families.

The matter has come to this, Kong Ming must no longer hide clumsy, if there is a good plan, he should quickly tell my father-in-law. In this way, things can still turn around!! ”

Lu Su was so anxious that he burned his brows, but Zhuge Liang was calm and calm, and laughed with Lu Su again.

"Hehe, Zijing don't be impatient, I don't know who the Cao and Sun families are marrying?"

Lu Su frowned and said quickly.

"The woman is my lord's sister, Sun Shangxiang. The man is Cao Cao's old thief! The two are not of the same age and age, but Cao Cao braved the disapproval of the world and wanted to take the sister of Wu Hou, which is really shameless! ”

"But leave this marriage alone. Second brother, you are in a precarious situation now, but if the two families of Sun Cao really marry. With my lord and Zhou Gongjin's jealousy of you. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to repay your safety as a brother. If you don't have a plan, leave as quickly as possible, and arrange a ship for you. ”

Zhuge Jin was afraid that Zhuge Liang was just playing tricks before, so he hurriedly persuaded Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang listened to the words, smiled in his heart, and the time was finally ripe for the secret way. Zhuge Liang then got up, bowed his hands, and said in a condensed voice.

"Brother, Zi respects but listens to Liang's words. Brighten up Cao Cao's millions of people, like a swarm of ant ears! But when I raise my hand, it's all dust! I didn't dare to speak lightly before, but the time had not yet come. Now that the time is ripe, tomorrow I have to bother my brother and Zijing to lead me into the church to meet Wu Hou, and then Wu Hou will promise to unite with me in Jingzhou! ”

"This!"

Zhuge Jin was shocked when he heard this, the matter has come to this point, it is difficult to return to the sky, but Zhuge Liang still swears like this, if it weren't for Zhuge Jin knowing the ability of his younger brother, he would really think that he is a madman who doesn't know the height of the sky. Lu Su stared and asked with a little suspicion.

"Kong Ming is really sure, you know it, but there is a slight mistake, and he will definitely die!"

"Hehe, I'll know tomorrow in the hall."

Zhuge Liang's bright eyes shone brightly, exuding an unfathomable momentum, as if he could calculate everything in the world. Seeing this, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin left in disbelief.

The next day, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin led Zhuge Liang into the hall to meet Sun Ce, who sat in the high hall with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. Zhou Yu was on the side, his eyes were cold, and he secretly said that you Zhuge Liang's talent is shocking, but after all, he is still broken by the general trend and cannot escape death! Many Jiangdong courtiers on the seat also laughed secretly, as if they were looking forward to how Zhuge Liang, who had been in front of the Jiangdong ministers in the past, had lips and tongues like swords, and amazed the four seats, how to turn the tide with a mouth.

Zhuge Liang looked determined, and bowed to Sun Ce first.

"Shi Lailiang desecrated the majesty of Wu Hou, fortunately don't see the crime."

Sun Ce saw that Zhuge Liang had lost his sharp edge in words, and he had the intention of seeking goodness, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but win, and he laughed.

"Why did Kong Ming do this, this matter has long been forgotten by Ben Hou, and there is no need to mention it again. I don't know if Kong Ming came to see him today, can he have a high theory to teach Benhou? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan lightly and replied humbly.

"If you can't shine as the wild man of the mountain village, how dare you teach Wu Hou. Liang is here today for all congratulations. ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he narrowed his eyes suddenly, and guessed in his heart that Zhuge Liang must have heard that he wanted to marry Cao Cao, so he asked coldly.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Huh. Wu Hou wants to marry Cao Cao with his sister to ensure that Eastern Wu is not lost, this matter has been learned by Liang, why hide it? ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, Sun Ce suddenly became murderous, and sneered.

"Kong Ming actually knows this, is it possible that seeing that the situation is not good, he is willing to turn to Ben Hou to save his life?"

Zhuge Liang smiled brightly, fearless of death, and replied.

"Definitely. Kong Ming did not have two masters in his life, and he also knew that once Cao Cao's documents fell, Kong Ming would definitely die. Before he died, Kong Ming was willing to offer a foolish plan, and then teach Wu Hou to do his best to win Cao Cao's heart, and he will be rich and noble in the future, and he will be blessed for three generations! ”

"Why bother! Zhuge Kongming, you are already a turtle in an urn, how dare you use evil words to confuse my lord again! Lord, why don't you put this madman in prison first, and then deal with it after Cao Gong's document is issued!! ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, Zhang Zhao immediately rose up angrily, pointing at Zhuge Liang angrily. Sun Ce's face was cold, but he was not in a hurry to deal with Zhuge Liang at this time, and said coldly with his head high.

"Good! But let's listen to your plans first! ”

Zhuge Liang suddenly stepped up, smiled and said slowly.

"Cao Cao is the traitor of the world. Although Marquis Wu married him, with Cao Cao's cunning, how could he tolerate Marquis Wu's seizure of a large area of land in the south of the Yangtze River. But if Wu Hou can win Cao Cao's favor, Cao Cao is likely to be suspicious of Wu Hou. This plan does not require the sheep to carry the wine, accept the land and offer the seal, and does not need Wu Hou to cross the river to the Central Plains in person. It is only necessary to send one envoy, and Bian Zhou will send two more people to the Central Plains. If you get these two people again, you will be ecstatic, your life is enough, and you don't need to raise troops to conquer Jiangdong! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but show a little surprise, and asked in a condensed voice.

"With what two people, can Cao Cao not offend Jiangdong in his life?"

Zhuge Liang's eyes shimmered, and when he saw Sun Ce coming to ask, he was secretly happy in his heart, and secretly hanged himself, so he said.

"When Liang was in Jingzhou, he heard that Cao Cao was on the Zhanghe River in Yecheng, and he made a new one, called Tongque, which was extremely magnificent and macroscopic, and it was extremely luxurious, and Cao Cao was widely selected to live in the world's beauties. Cao Cao is a womanizer who wants to get beauties from all over the world and accompany him.

Cao Cao has coveted the three beauties in Jiangdong for a long time. One of them is the sister of Wu Hou, Sun Shangxiang. Wu Hou knows the current affairs and has secretly promised his sister. If Jiangdong goes to these two people again, it will be just like a leaf floating on a big tree, and Taicang minus an ear. But if Cao Cao gets it, he will be very happy and happy, and he is willing to connect with Jiangdong Yong! ”

Sun Ce heard what Zhuge Liang said, and he was even more victorious, and exclaimed.

"If you use two people!?"

Zhuge Liang smiled even more and replied quickly.

"Liang's life is already in the hands of Wu Hou, life and death are in Wu Hou's thoughts, how dare you make a mistake.
