After sending Pang Tong and Zhao Yun away, Sun Quan returned to Mrs. Wu's residence.

Sun Shangxiang is still here with him.

After saluting Mrs. Wu, Sun Quan said: "Mother, just mentioned Cao Zirong, he sent someone to Jiangdong. ”

"What did he send someone to Koto do?" Mrs. Wu asked.

"Come and ask Shang Xiang for a kiss." Sun Quan said: "Earlier, my brother agreed to this marriage, if he shirked it, he offended Cao Zirong, in case he led the army to attack Jiangdong, it would be very troublesome." ”

Looking at Sun Shangxiang, Mrs. Wu asked, "Have you ever seen Cao Zirong?" ”

"Back to my mother, I haven't seen him." Sun Shangxiang replied: "Even if I saw it, I was young at that time, and I had no impression for a long time." ”

"That's right." Mrs. Wu smiled slightly and stroked Sun Shangxiang's hair: "Cao Zirong is handsome and has the ability, he can be said to be a hero in the world, and if you marry him, it will not disgrace our Sun family." ”

"Mother is in charge." Sun Shangxiang blushed and lowered his head.

Mrs. Wu asked Sun Quan, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I want to see the sincerity of the Cao family." Sun Quan said: "Pang Shiyuan said that the Cao family was about to withdraw the army, but I didn't believe him. ”

"Cao Zirong sent Pang Shiyuan?" Mrs. Wu asked in surprise.

"Exactly." Sun Quan asked, "Mother has heard of him?" ”

"Don't look at me as just an old woman in the back house, I still know a little about things outside." Mrs. Wu said: "Pang Shiyuan is a capable person, and Cao Zirong has many things to rely on him. ”

"Mother is right." Sun Quan replied: "This person has a lot of strategy, and he really has to guard against it. ”

"What's the use of you guarding against him?" Mrs. Wu said: "If the Cao family really has plans to attack Jiangdong, Cao Zirong will not let him come." ”

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, looked at Mrs. Wu in surprise and asked, "Mother really thinks so?" ”

"Shang Xiang is my own daughter, could it be that I will push her into the fire pit?" Mrs. Wu said: "Liu Xuande doesn't need to reply there, let him think about good things." Cao Zirong is here, arrange for Shang Xiang to cross the river as soon as possible. ”

"But Cao Jun hasn't retreated yet......" Sun Quan said with some reluctance.

"Didn't you retreat, didn't you send troops to Jiangdong?" Mrs. Wu said: "After marrying Shang Xiang, I still don't believe that Cao Zirong can attack us Jiangdong." ”

"Mother doesn't know Cao Zirong's personality yet." Sun Quan replied: "At the beginning, he also married Miss Yuan, not ......"

"Can our Jiangdong Wu family be compared to the Yuan family?" Mrs. Wu's tone had become not very good, and she said to Sun Quan: "The battle of Guandu was provoked by the Yuan family first, and our Sun family did not provoke him. Why did he use troops to Koto? ”

Although Mrs. Wu is not Sun Quan's biological mother, he has grown up in front of this aunt since he was a child, and he has always called him "mother".

Sun Quan and Sun Ce brothers are filial sons, unless it is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, of course they dare not disobey this mother.

"I made an appointment with Pang Shiyuan to discuss this matter tomorrow." Mrs. Wu was angry, and Sun Quan hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely discuss a better way with him." ”

"I don't care what you ask him to say, Shang Xiang can't marry Liu Xuande, he can only marry Cao Zirong." Mrs. Wu said: "I just fell in love with such a son-in-law, and no one can stop him." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I know." Sun Quan bowed in response.

At the same time that Sun Quan saw Mrs. Wu, Zhou Yu also had a guest there.

Jiang Gan was ordered to Jiangdong, but he did not go with Pang Tong and Zhao Yun, but came to Zhou Yu's military camp alone.

After receiving the gift, Zhou Yu asked the guards who reported the news: "How many people did Jiang Gan bring over?" ”

"Return to the Grand Governor." The guard replied: "Jiang Gan came alone, without a single soldier. ”

"No matter how good he is, he is also Cao Cao's staff." Zhou Yu said suspiciously: "When you come to Jiangdong, how can you not bring a single soldier?" ”

The guard, of course, didn't know what to say to him.

It was impossible for Zhou Yu to ask the guard, and with full doubt, he ordered, "Please come in and talk." ”

A moment later, the guards led Jiang Gan to the scene.

Seeing Jiang Gan, Zhou Yu suddenly smiled: "How can Ziyi have the leisure to come to Jiangdong?" ”

Jiang Gan returned the salute and asked with a smile: "Could it be that Gongjin doesn't welcome me?" ”

"Ziyi's words are out of sight." Zhou Yu said: "I'm just complaining, since you want to go to Jiangdong, why don't you say a word earlier, I can also send someone to pick you up." ”

"Pang Shiyuan was ordered to come to Jiangdong to marry the Sun family, I thought that Gongjin is now the governor here, so I specially made a leave to Cao Xuan, and came to Jiangdong to meet my old classmates for a while." Jiang Gan asked, "Didn't you delay Gongjin's military affairs?" ”

"Where did all that military work come from?" Zhou Yu said: "Since Ziyi is here, I will take you around, drink and feast in the evening, you and I will talk about the wine and talk about the old days." ”

"I wonder where Gongjin plans to take me for a walk?" Jiang Gan asked.

"I'm training the navy, I'll take you to the barracks to have a look." Zhou Yu said: "Jiangdong doesn't have much scenery, presumably other places Ziyi won't have much interest. ”

"Gongjin's army is a military location, is it a little inappropriate for me to watch it?" Jiang Gan waved his hand and said, "In order not to worry too much about Gongjin, I still don't want to go to see it." ”

Zhou Yu originally planned to test him, and if Jiang Gan agreed to visit the barracks, he would let the soldiers show their mighty and majestic side, so as to deter this former classmate.

thought that this former classmate would agree, but he rejected it simply.

Very surprised in his heart, Zhou Yu asked, "Don't Ziyi want to observe the Jiangdong army?" ”

"What am I doing watching the army?" Jiang Gan said: "When I came to Jiangdong, I just caught up with Gongjin. In Cao Gongying, you can see soldiers coming and going every day. Isn't it boring to finally ignore the army and go to Jiangdong to see that Ge Mao Sensen? ”

Jiang Gan's answer was indeed beyond Zhou Yu's expectations.

Staring at Jiang Gan, he suddenly asked: "Cao Cao plans to plot against Jiangdong, is it possible that Ziyi didn't come here to be his lobbyist?" ”

Originally, Jiang Gan's face was not very good, he asked with this sentence, Jiang Gan flicked his robe sleeves and said: "Not to mention that Cao Gong has no intention of plotting Jiangdong, even if there is, how can I come to Jiangdong just to be a lobbyist?" Since Gong Jin is suspicious, I will leave first. ”

He arched his hand and turned to leave.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward to hug him, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, don't worry, I'm just joking." ”

"Jokes are not as humiliating as Gong Jin." Jiang Gan said angrily: "When you came to Jiangdong, you either wanted to take me to see the army drills, or asked me if I was a lobbyist for Cao Gong." What is the friendship between classmates in the past in the eyes of Gong Jin? ”
