When Lu Su heard this, his eyes were like fire, he trembled with anger, and pointed at Zhuge Liang and shouted loudly.

"Zhuge Kongming, are you trying to teach my lord to bend his knees and be humiliated by the national thief!?"

Zhuge Liang just sneered and didn't answer, Sun Ce's patience was close to the limit, and he wanted to break out, Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped it, and then took a step forward, looking at Zhuge Liang and said coldly.

"As you say, why doesn't Kong Ming also descend to Uncle Pope? To protect your lord, rich and prosperous!? ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up and he replied with his head held high.

"My lord once said to Liang that in the past, Tian Heng and Qi were strong men, and they still kept righteousness and would rather die than be dishonored. If my lord desires, how can Liang not know? Moreover, my lord is the son of the royal family, and his talents are great in the world, and he is admired by all the men. If things don't work, this is the destiny of heaven. Can you stoop to people!? Liang feels his loyalty, and is willing to fight to the death! ”

When Sun Ce heard Zhuge Liang's words, he suddenly changed color, couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted.

"Zhuge Kongming, you only know the emperor's uncle's hero, but you don't know that my grandson Bofu is not willing to send people to the rats under the fence! My Jiangdong soldiers are well fed, why not be afraid of national thieves! Xue Jingwen is not ashamed to speak up, disturb the hearts of our army, and destroy the prestige of our Jiangdong, and the crime should be beheaded!! Left and right, don't you hurry up and arrest this great rebel with me!! ”

Sun Ce suddenly broke out, all the ministers were unexpected, and the hall changed color, and the two generals next to Sun Ce immediately rushed up and captured Xue Zong. Xue Zong was so frightened that he begged for mercy, and the ministers were furious when they saw Sun Ce, and they didn't dare to persuade him. Zhou Yu hurriedly cast a secret look at Sun Ce, indicating that it was not yet the time to eradicate this traitor. Sun Ce ignored it, snorted coldly, got up with his clothes, and retreated into the back hall.

Xue Zong's mournful begging for mercy was heard endlessly, until it was far away, Zhou Yu saw this, secretly screamed that he had fallen into Zhuge Liang's treacherous plan, and hurried into the back hall. The ministers were all scattered in horror.

After the seat dispersed, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin pulled Zhuge Liang to a quiet place, and Lu Su rebuked.

"Kong Ming exalted your lord's loyalty in the hall today, but he insinuated that my lord was afraid of Cao? Fortunately, my lord is generous and generous, and he is not immediately responsible. Kong Ming's words despise my lord very much. ”

Zhuge Liang looked up and smiled.

"Wu Hou has no intention of forming an alliance with me in Jingzhou, if I don't deliberately provoke it, how can it happen?"

When Lu Su heard this, he was very displeased, groaned for a while, and asked with a little suspicion.

"Kong Ming is so sworn and confident, doesn't he have a plan to break Cao?

Zhuge Liang smiled brightly, but shook his head without saying a word and walked away. Lu Su was surprised for a while, and after glancing at Zhuge Jin, neither of them knew what kind of medicine was sold in this Zhuge Liang gourd.

said that Zhou Yu chased the angry Sun Ce and entered the back hall. Sun Ce was still angry, and when he saw Zhou Yu coming in, he thought of Kong Ming's words today, as well as Xue Zong's rebellious words, and he didn't feel that he had no face, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth!

Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's eyes red and angry, sighed secretly, and after bowing his hand, he said to Sun Ce softly.

"This is Zhuge Liang's agitation. Bo Fu must not fall for his tricks! Zhuge Liang has a vicious mind and sees people alone, so he must have guessed that Xue Zong secretly voted for Cao Cao, so he deliberately provoked Bo Fu and harmed Xue Zong's life. As soon as Xue Zong died, Liu Ye had a ghost in his heart, and resolutely fled back to the Central Plains overnight to repay Cao Cao. In this way, it is difficult to continue the alliance between Jiangdong and Cao Cao. Even if we want to benefit from the battle of Jingzhou, we can only choose to unite with Zhuge Liang, so it is not in the hands of Zhuge Liang!? ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he was stunned, his face was flushed with anger, and he shouted angrily.

"Wow wow!! This Zhuge Kongming is extremely cunning and deceives me too much!! I had his head cut off and given to Cao Cao!! ”

Sun Ce roared angrily, even if he had to give an order. Zhou Yu hurriedly blocked.

"Brethren don't be impatient. What Zhuge Kongming said is also unreasonable, Cao Cao's power is great, and he must not let his evil momentum increase. Now let's put Xue Zong in prison first, and then summon Liu Ye to see him, and then make a final decision. ”

Jiangdong and the Cao and Liu families, which one unites is a matter of great importance. Zhou Yu didn't dare to make a decisive decision for a while, Sun Ce listened, and his anger passed away a little, so he followed Zhou Yu's opinion and sent someone to put Xue Zong in prison first.

That night, he said that Liu Ye heard that Xue Zong was executed by Sun Ce for persuading Sun Ce to surrender to Cao, and he was so frightened that he didn't possess his body on the spot, thinking that Sun Ce didn't dare to harm him for a while, so he immediately ordered his entourage, packed up, and prepared to flee Jiangdong all night to return to Cao Cao. Later, there was a detailed report, and Sun Ce suddenly changed his mind, spared Xue Zong's death, and only put Xue Zong in prison. After Liu Ye heard this, he felt a lot more at ease, and secretly thought that this Sun Bofu was really as Cao Cao said, he was angry and arrogant, and he couldn't tolerate half of the contempt of others, so he could only say peace, and he couldn't say surrender, otherwise he would be killed. Although Liu Ye had instructed Xue Zong, it may be that Xue Zong was in a hurry to make a great contribution, so he took the risk to do it, and it was his own fault to get this fate!

Liu Ye was thinking about it, and suddenly Jiangdong General came to invite, and it was rumored that Sun Ce was invited. Liu Ye immediately shook his spirits, and after getting dressed, he followed the Jiangdong general and entered the Wuhou Mansion.

Liu Ye walked into the back hall of the house, saw that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were already waiting, and hurriedly gave a salute respectfully, Sun Ce laughed, greeted Liu Ye, and after the ceremony, the three of them sat down as guests. Sun Ceba's eyes shimmered, looked at Liu Ye and said.

"The King of Wei wants to join forces with Benhou to crusade against Jingzhou, and after some careful consideration, although Benhou intends to do it, he still has concerns, so I don't know what the sincerity of King Wei is?"

When Liu Ye heard this, his face changed, and then his mind was racing, secretly figuring out Sun Ce's thoughts. After a while, Liu Ye got up and replied.

"The king of Wei respected Wu Hou as a hero in the world, so he intended to unite with Wu Hou to divide the land of Jingzhou and form an alliance forever. Why should Wu Hou worry too much? ”

Sun Ce listened to the words and smiled but did not answer. Zhou Yu stepped forward and said only after the salute was finished.

"King Wei is the first male lord in the world, the power of the world, he will win a large area of Jingzhou one day, but he is afraid that in the world, no one can stop the front of King Wei? Immediately, I was afraid that the King of Wei would cross the river and tear down the bridge, cook the rabbit and the dog, tear up the covenant, and send troops to attack the land of my Eastern Wu!! ”

After hearing this, Liu Ye's expression froze, his mind turned quickly, he groaned for a while, bowed respectfully and prudently, and said concentratingly.

"Zhou Dudu's concerns, King Wei has already expected that the King of Wei has a perfect plan to solve, I don't know if Wu Hou and Du Du are willing to hear it?"

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu heard this, their faces changed slightly. Sun Ceba's eyes narrowed, and his chin responded.

"I would like to hear the high arguments of King Wei!"

"King Wei heard that Wu Hou has a sister, beautiful and virtuous, and a famous beauty in Jiangdong. Wu Hou's sister, although she is a woman, is better than a man. It was once said that if you are not a hero of the world, you will never do anything. When the King of Wei heard this, he was full of praise, hoping to marry Wu Hou, if the two families married Qin and Jin. This matter is a matter of both family and country, if Wu Hou promises, it is really a blessing for the people of the world! ”

As soon as Sun Ce heard Liu Ye mention Sun Shangxiang, his face changed drastically, and he wanted to have a seizure. Although Sun Ce's mother died, Sun Ce treated his mother's sister as his own mother. Although Sun Shangxiang and him are not from the same mother, Sun Ce is very fond of Sun Shangxiang on weekdays. Let Sun Shangxiang let his servants and maids hundreds, often carry knives, and the weapons in the room are full of weapons, although there are many Jiangdong courtiers to admonish this matter, but Sun Ce did not blame, but said that Sun Shangxiang is worthy of being the queen of his Sun Humen.

Sun Ce was about to have a seizure, but Zhou Yu hurriedly threw a look at him to stop him, and then asked Liu Ye with a smile.

"I don't know which prince does King Wei want to marry? The sister of my lord Wu Hou, after the famous family, Yu heard that the prince Cao Ang, erudite and talented, heroic and extraordinary, if the king of Wei asked for the prince Cao Ang. This is not unavoidable. ”

Liu Ye looked at Zhou Yu's shimmering eyes, thinking of what he was going to say next, he felt a pang in his heart, and said hard.

"The sister of Wu Hou is the phoenix among people. The king of Wei was afraid that the prince of the world would not be as good as the sister of the Marquis of Wu, and he missed a major event, so it was a good thing for the two families, and the king of Wei intended to accept her as a concubine. ”

Boom!!!

As soon as Liu Ye's words fell, a bang sounded, Liu Ye was suddenly frightened, only to see Sun Ce get up angrily, full of murderous energy, and shouted angrily.

"Old thief Cao is really too deceitful!! The old thief is over 100 years old, and my sister is in a wonderful year, how can she get married!! What's more, how can my sister Jin Zhi Yuye marry someone as a concubine!! Don't mention this again!! Otherwise, the two families of Sun Cao will not die!! ”

Sun Ce jumped like thunder, furious, Liu Ye saw this, fearing that Sun Ce would have a temperament, he ordered himself to be executed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to confess. Sun Ce then dismissed Liu Ye. Liu Ye trembled and resigned with shame on his face.

When he was young, Sun Ce's anger faded a little, and Zhou Yu, who had not spoken on the side, stood quietly and pondered, suddenly said.

"If Bo Fu wants to win the world and achieve immortal causes, how can he be emotional?"

Sun Ceba was stunned and gritted his teeth.

"How I don't know! But the two are not of the same age, and Cao Thief and my father were courtiers in the same court, if my sister is the concubine of Cao Thief, it is not compatible. What's more, my second mother loves my sister very much, how can I make my sister someone else's concubine!? ”

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce was angry on his head, and he didn't persuade much. So far, Zhuge Liang and Liu Ye, the lobbyists of the Cao and Liu families, have not made any progress in uniting Eastern Wu.

One day, Liu Ye was a guest in Qiao Guo's old mansion and deliberately revealed that Cao Cao intended to take Sun Shangxiang as a concubine, which was originally a matter of mutual benefit between Cao and Sun, but Sun Ce refused. Qiao Guolao had an old relationship with Cao Cao in the past, and he always admired Cao Cao, and he didn't feel sorry for what he said. Seeing this, Liu Ye hurriedly asked Qiao Guolao for advice. Qiao Guolao pondered for a while, he knew that at this time, Sun Ce was choosing between the Cao and Liu families, and between the two families, it was reasonable and reasonable, Qiao Guolao was more inclined to join forces with Cao Cao. Therefore, he finally agreed to Liu Ye's matter. Liu Ye was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Elder Qiao. After the two discussed for a while, Liu Ye retreated. Qiao Guolao dressed up and went to see Wu Guotai to congratulate him.

Wu Guotai didn't know where the joy came from, and hurriedly asked Qiao Guolao.

"What does the elder mean by this, and what is the joy? But the old body doesn't know? ”

Qiao Guolao laughed and said with his hand.

"The old man once heard from that Liu Ye that the current King of Wei intends to take Ling Ai as a concubine. Cao Mengde is the first male lord in the world, and he is powerful in the world! As the saying goes, if you are not a hero, you don't have to do it. Although there are many talents in Jiangdong, none of them have entered his eyes. Madame didn't always remember this. Now that Cao Mengde is interested in accepting it, isn't it just to relieve his wife's worries for many years? ”

Wu Guotai was shocked when he heard this, and then thought that Cao Cao was just taking Sun Shangxiang as a concubine, his face suddenly darkened, and he immediately replied.

"Humph! Although Cao Mengde is a hero, his old daughter is also a famous queen, with golden branches and jade leaves, and his brother is now the lord of Eastern Wu, but he wants to be his concubine. Isn't this a disadvantage to the old daughter! ”

Wu Guotai said angrily, Qiao Guolao knew that his temper was stubborn, and he was busy reassuring.

"Madame's words are true. But what if you marry an equal wife? Cao Cao is powerful in the world, and sooner or later he will ascend to the throne of the Son of Heaven, and it is very likely that Ling Ai will become the queen of a country. Moreover, if the Cao and Sun families are reconciled, Jiangdong will not only be spared from great disasters, but my son-in-law will also be able to preserve his wealth and wealth. ”
