In Zhao Yun's mansion, Zhao Yu was lazily lying on the hammock among the trees in the garden, enjoying the warm sun in the early spring afternoon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info occasionally felt thirsty, Zhao Yu would stretch out his jade arm and take a sip of the small wine jug on the table next to him. At that time, it was nearly early afternoon, so Zhao Yu took out a small women's sunglasses from the small handbag hanging aside, and after putting them on, he took out a delicate silk folding fan and gently fanned the wind. These are what Zhao Yu learned from Lu Ren - do things seriously and enjoy life happily.

"Light Rain ......"

Zhao Yun has been forcibly given a holiday by Liu Bei since Zhao Yu came to Xiangyang, and the reason is nothing more than "brother and sister get together, how can Bei not let Zilong fulfill his family affection because of one person's selfishness". Holidays are a good thing, but Zhao Yun is a person who can't be idle, don't mention how depressed he is at this time. I was bored to walk around the garden, and when I saw Zhao Yu's appearance that seemed to be a little profligate, Zhao Yun's handsome and handsome face suddenly grew old, and he walked to Zhao Yu's side with a gloomy face.

Zhao Yu turned his head when he heard the call, pulled down his sunglasses slightly, and responded with a smile: "Brother, your face is ugly, isn't it time to be angry with the little sister?" ”

Zhao Yun snorted and sat down on the stone bench, and said with some anger in his arms: "Let's not talk about it first." You are a girl in your twenties who has not yet left the cabinet, although you are at home, but you are so profligate, what kind of system has it become? Even I, who was my brother, called you out, and I didn't want to pay a salute, I really don't know how you are doing this Yizhou don't drive. ”

Zhao Yu picked up his sunglasses and lay back to the same state, with a charming smile on his face: "Brother, don't look down on me!" Today, I have dealt with Cao Gong, and I have also gone to Xu Du to meet the Son of Heaven, how can I not understand those things that I should understand? Therefore, I will naturally observe etiquette and etiquette in front of others, and you see how can I ever be rude in a formal occasion? And now it's not those occasions that need to be serious, it's in your mansion, which is also the home of the little sister, so what's the harm in being casual at home? If you have to be so cautious at all times and in all places, won't you be tired to death in this life? ”

Zhao Yun was a little speechless for a while, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly at Zhao Yu and said, "You girl...... That's it, I can never talk about you in the battle of words, and you are quite self-aware, so I won't say anything more. By Xiaoyu, you are already twenty-six years old this year (Zhao Yu was seventeen years old when he was thrown by Zhao Yun to Lu Ren in the fifth year of Jian'an, and at the beginning of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, the virtual age is twenty-six), when will you be willing to go out of the cabinet and get married? is the so-called marriage of men and women, the ancient people, you should hurry up and find a good husband to marry, and let me have a heart. ”

Zhao Yu smiled faintly, turned over and sat in the middle of the hammock and responded: "Brother, you don't have to worry about my life's events, when will my little sister be willing to marry, she may marry faster than anyone else." When the little sister is here, I want to ask the second brother a question, you yourself also said that men marry women, the ancient people, and the book also says that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. Second brother, you are almost forty years old, and you have never been willing to marry a wife and have children, if this really talks about ethics and filial piety, brother, you are too unfilial to your deceased parents. Now Xiaomei, I am very careful to help you find a suitable woman, and I have come thousands of miles to tell you the matchmaker, but you are still so reluctant, do you not believe that Xiaomei's vision is not successful? ”

Zhao Yun suddenly had a feeling that he was in charge of Zhao Yu, and waved his hand again and again: "This, this is not the same thing!" The foundation of the Lord has not yet been completed, and I may have to go to the Quartet at any time, how can I have the mind......"

Zhao Yu poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Zhao Yun, and said with a smile: "Brother, I can tell you, the sister-in-law that my little sister chose for you is a national beauty, with outstanding character and talent, and her age is about the same as me, so it is just right for you to marry." Moreover, how private this matter is, the little sister doesn't want to mention it again. Just talk about Yu Gong, with Uncle Liu's affection and trust in you, plus the benefits that this family affair can bring to Uncle Liu, can you completely see the second brother? ”

"Lu Yizhou?"

Zhao Yun frowned when he heard Lu Ren's name, and thought for a long time and said, "Xiaoyu, tell me honestly, why is Lu Yizhou so bothered?" I remember that in the early years, I persuaded Lu Yizhou to be the auxiliary lord, but Lu Yizhou couldn't resign, and then he went to Yizhou to expand the territory, and now he has become a candidate...... Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced, and I have nothing to say about that. Later, Lu Yizhou was good with the main bus, and the business and trade matters became more and more frequent, and he also helped the lord a lot, and now he wants to marry me as a matchmaker, and I can't figure out all the things in between! ”

Zhao Yu saw Zhao Yun's expression and just smiled faintly. There is a matter of contact between Lu Ren and Liu Bei, which is within the scope of official affairs, and this thing has to be persuaded by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to persuade Zhao Yun, and it is not good for him to have too many mouths, so Zhao Yu can only speak from a private aspect:

"Brother, you want to make a contribution, and you don't want to be dragged down by the affairs of your family, I understand this, otherwise you wouldn't have entrusted me to Mr. Lu ruthlessly. It's just that you are the only seedling among the men of our group, if you have something on the battlefield, how will you explain to our deceased parents? So you hurry up and marry a wife and have children, and then if you feel that you can't take care of it, then simply send it to me, I, who is an aunt, will help you raise the child, so don't let us cut off the incense. ”

“…… You! ”

Zhao Yuqiao's face turned and snorted coldly: "What am I? Brother, do you dare to say that my words are unreasonable? ”

Saying that, Zhao Yu threw a portrait of the Fan family to Zhao Yun: "See for yourself, she is a great beauty." You are very serious in front of others, but I know what you think in your heart, who made me your own sister? Okay, I'm a little tired, and I want to take a quiet nap in this garden, brother, please take care of yourself. ”

Zhao Yun really had no choice about this little sister, and now he really had nothing to say about Zhao Yu's almost occupying the dove's nest, so he shook his head and withdrew from the garden, and instructed Zhao Yu's personal maid standing at the gate of the garden to serve carefully. Back in his room, Zhao Yun opened the picture scroll and looked at it carefully, and sighed lightly: "This girl is really good at picking ......."

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already discussed it properly, and then Liu Bei personally came forward to persuade Zhao Yun to go down this family business as a senior brother and not a lord. Of course, Liu Bei mentioned to Zhao Yun something about the interconnection between the two families.

The matter has come to this point, Zhao Yun has to agree even if he is unwilling to agree, not to mention that Zhao Yun actually has a little desire in his heart? is already almost forty people, and it is self-deception to say that he doesn't want to please his wife.

Later, Liu Bei helped Zhao Yun prepare a dowry gift, and at the same time sent an envoy to return to Yizhou with Zhao Yu to be hired. Who are the envoys? It seems that you can't find a more suitable person besides Mi Zhu, right? Moreover, Mi Zhu went to Yizhou, not only to discuss family affairs with Lu Ren, but also to discuss with Lu Ren about the business and trade between the two sides, after all, Liu Bei now needs Lu Ren's economic support here.

Although the three counties of Jingnan are still in a state of self-reliance, the general traffic is not interrupted, so Zhao Yu and Mi Zhu arrived in Guiyang from Changsha by water, and then from Guiyang to Shaoguan and Guangzhou. On the other hand, Zhao Yu also wants to take Mi Zhu to take this road and let Mi Zhu get acquainted with it, after all, the future exchanges between Lu Ren and Liu Bei can count on this route.

These things will naturally alarm Sun Quan, and Sun Quan will be able to know what is going on if he sends someone to inquire a little, and the troubled times are not just a stage for war.

――――――――――――――――――――

In the Battle of Chibi, the Sun-Liu coalition army was actually divided into two routes. Sanjiangkou was the main battlefield, led by Liu Bei and Zhou Yu to resist Cao Cao's army, and in the area of Heqi to the east of Chibi, Sun Quan personally led the troops against the enemy. After the fire broke out in Chibi, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu on the West Road naturally took advantage of the situation to seize several counties in the north of Jingzhou, while Sun Quan went all out to attack Heqi to expand the results, but unfortunately the strong attack was fruitless for several months.

During the period when Sun Quan's troops were combined, Liu Bei took advantage of the chaos to recapture several counties in Jingbei, while Zhou Yu had to return to Chaisang to recuperate due to injury. In other words, Sun Quan had no results at all except for defeating Cao Cao's army and retaining the territory of Eastern Wu in the Battle of Chibi, so how could Sun Quan not be angry?

In addition to being angry, Sun Quan wanted to seize Jingxiang, Zhou Yu and Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan from the perspective of the overall situation, and then turned their attention to the post-war domestic economic recovery work. It's just that it didn't take long for the news that Guiyang was captured by Lu Ren, and Sun Quan's surprise had not eased up, and Zhou Yu, who was recuperating in Chaisang, rushed to the news that Lu Ren married his sister Fan to Zhao Yun, and Lu Ren and Liu Bei also had a relationship of kinship......

――――――――――――――――――――

With the sound of jade shattering, a fine stone inkstone was smashed by Sun Quan. Sun Quan was still on the battlefield at the moment, but the series of news that came over really made Sun Quan angry.

Originally, Liu Bei seized a few pieces of territory in the northern part of Jingxiang, and Sun Quan still had nothing to say, after all, the Sun and Liu families were now in an alliance, and they had to raise their own troops to fight against Cao. At present, Sun Quan's troops are not very sufficient, if he immediately attacks all parts of Nanjun and then divides his troops to defend them, his troops will be a little too scattered, and it will be difficult to expand enough troops in a short time. Having Liu Bei on the Nanjun side to block Cao Cao's way south, it was more or less beneficial to Sun Quan.

However, Changsha and Guiyang in the four counties of Jingnan border with Sun Quan, and the strength of the four counties is not very good, Sun Quan has almost regarded the four counties of Jingnan as his territory, but he suddenly killed Lu Ren in the middle of the waist and came out to snatch Guiyang, and he was about to establish an alliance with Liu Bei......
