After Gongsun Kang took the eight counties of Jingzhou, he formed a comprehensive encirclement of Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yangzhou to the four counties of Jiangdong.

Lu Bu is Gongsun Kang's father-in-law, and he has blackmailed a lot of Gongsun Kang's food weapons over the years, so he doesn't care about this new situation.

Sun Quan can't do it, he only has two counties of projectile land, needless to say that Gongsun Kang and Lu Bu, a single charge of Liaodong soldiers and horses can wipe out his foundation.

So Sun Quan is so worried, his head is white.

Speaking of which, Sun Quan is also a masterpiece of a generation, and he should not be afraid of Gongsun Kang like a tiger, after all, they have not dealt with each other yet. However, a thin booklet and a copy of the "Guiding Rules for Demon Warfare" made Lu Bu as stable as Mount Tai and made Sun Quan's advantage disappear.

Therefore, Sun Quan felt that he had nothing to rely on Sun Kang, the prince, and it was estimated that the legendary Liaodong Divine Cannon would be finished as soon as it was bombarded.

He summoned Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao to discuss countermeasures in the main hall.

These two important ministers don't have any good ideas, and the three of them are worried together.

At this time, outside the main hall, there was the sound of ping-pong, mixed with the laughter of some women's silver bells.

Zhou Yu reacted first, raised his eyebrows excitedly, and his face showed joy.

It turned out that Sun Quan's own sister Sun Shangxiang and her women's guards were practicing martial arts again.

Sun Shangxiang is as beautiful as a flower, intelligent, agile, and strong and brave, likes to play knives and spears, and has the style of her fellow brothers. There were more than 100 maids around her, all of whom were guarding her with swords.

The lord of the Eastern Wu Sun

Seventeen do not weave

Three hundred steps of the crossbow

Characters who wear Yang

The inscription is at the end of the poem

Wu Luo rode on horseback

The Three Kingdoms turned out the daughter who

The pearl of martial arts

Heroes don't think about it

Since ancient times, beauty tricks

Beauty is not clear

The county lord is intoxicated

Mountains and rivers fill wine glasses

Half of the country does not frown

Zhou Yu snorted and opened the folding fan, (This is also a sharp weapon invented by Liaodong, which is more popular with literati and ink writers than feather fans.) He smiled slightly and said, "Yu has a plan to solve the danger of the lord." ”

Sun Quan was overjoyed, brushed his beard, and said with a smile: "Gong Jin, hurry up."

Zhou Yu smiled and said: "This plan is called a beauty plan."

Zhang Zhao had already understood, and his eyes lit up and said, "But the county lord? ”

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Exactly."

Sun Quan already understood what Zhou Yu meant, and said worriedly: "Gongsun Kang already has more than ten wives and concubines, how can my sister Jin Zhi Yuye be a concubine?" ”

Zhang Zhao said disrespectfully: "Lu Bu is a hero in the world, didn't he marry his daughter to Gongsun Kang as a concubine, so that he could get soldiers, grain and grass, and even be able to fight against us?" ”

Zhou Yu also said: "If it weren't for the support of Liaodong, we would have defeated Lu Bu long ago and unified Jiangdong." Now the two great princes, Yuan Shang and Liu Biao, have disappeared. The lord hesitated for a few more days, and the soldiers and horses of Liaodong pressed the border. The power of our Soochow will also be wiped out. When the time comes, the county lord may be given to any soldier, and there is nothing to talk about? ”

Sun Quan was persuaded by Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu like this, so he made up his mind, offered his sister, and implemented the beauty plan.

Sun Quan first sent Lu Fan to be a matchmaker.

Lu Fan received the order and came to Jingzhou as a matchmaker.

Gongsun Kang then met with Lu Fan.

Lu Fan first congratulated Gongsun Kang on obtaining the eight counties of Jingzhou, and then explained his intentions: "The lord of my family is virtuous and virtuous, and he has loved heroes since he was a child. And when it comes to the heroes of the world, who else is better than the invincible national hero champion Hou Youlan? So I don't avoid suspicion and come to be a matchmaker. ”

Then he seriously and sincerely said that Dongwu wanted to recruit Gongsun Kang as his son-in-law and the political and military significance of this matter to Gongsun and Sun. Finally, he said: "Because Mrs. Wu loves this youngest daughter very much and is unwilling to marry far away, she asked the champion Hou to go to Soochow to hold a wedding." ”

"Do your lords know about this?" Gongsun Kang asked with a smile.

Lu Fan smiled: "This kind of thing, how dare you say it casually without first asking for Wu Hou's consent?" ”。

Gongsun Kang refused on the grounds that he had many wives and concubines, and that it would insult Sun Shangxiang's reputation to take another concubine. But Lu Fan is a very competent and enthusiastic matchmaker, and he has repeatedly persuaded him. In the end, Gongsun Kang had no reason to refuse, so he said, "Please stay first, and I will tell you the final decision tomorrow." ”

In the evening, Gongsun Kang discussed the matter with Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu. Xi Zhicai was very happy, persuaded Gongsun Kang to agree to this family business, and immediately sent Sun Qian and Lu Fan back to see Sun Quan, agreed on the matter of marriage, and married Dongwu on a later date.

Gongsun Kang could summon tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with him, so he was not afraid to go to Dongwu and his party. But in order to avoid twists and turns, it is still necessary to follow Liu Bei in history and take some precautions.

In the winter and October of the twelfth year of Jian'an (207 AD), Gongsun Kang was accompanied by Xue Rengui and Sun Qian and entered the territory of Wu. As soon as he arrived in Nanxu, the first city in the Wu realm, Xue Rengui ordered the 500 soldiers accompanying him to go to the city one by one to buy all kinds of things needed for weddings, and at the same time hyped the news that the champion Hou was about to marry Princess Sun. When the non-commissioned officers and people of Eastern Wu heard about it, they spread it on their behalf, and immediately, this festive news spread to all parts of the Wu State.

Xue Rengui also prepared rich gifts on behalf of Gongsun Kang, so that Gongsun Kang took the initiative to visit Sun Quan's father-in-law, Xie Guolao.

Xie Guolao was a pivotal figure in the state of Wu. His daughter, Mrs. Xie, is Sun Quan's match.

Gongsun Kang's visit made Boss Xie very happy, but he was very annoyed that he, the "old man", had not been told about such a big event. After sending Gongsun Kang away, he rushed from southern Xuzhou to the capital to meet Sun Quan's mother, Wu Guotai. As soon as he entered the door, he snorted angrily and said hello to Wu Guotai.

Guotai was stunned: "What's the happy event?" ”

Guo Lao said: "It has been spread all over the country, and your noble son-in-law has also come to my door, why do you want to hide it from me?!" ”

Guotai was shocked: "There is such a thing?!" He hurriedly sent someone to call Sun Quan to question him, and sent someone to the city to investigate.

The men who had been sent to the city to spy first returned, and reported: "It is true." The son-in-law has rested in the post house, and the five hundred accompanying sergeants are buying pigs, sheep and fruits in the city to prepare for marriage. The matchmaker is Lu Fan, and the man is Sun Qian. ”

When Guotai heard this, she beat her chest and cried. At this time, Sun Quan came to see his mother. Guotai angrily asked, "Do you still have me in your heart?!" My daughter was born and raised by me, and you recruited Gongsun Kang as your son-in-law, why did you hide such a big thing from me?! ”

Sun Quan was taken aback, but he didn't expect his mother to know about it. had no choice but to tell the truth to Guotai: it was just a ploy, and in order to ensure the safety of Soochow, it was a last resort.

Guotai became even more angry when she heard this, and scolded Zhou Yu and said: "You are the dignified governor of Eastern Wu, why are you so unproductive?!" has no ability to protect his family and defend the country, and pins his hopes on a woman. ”
