In the twentieth year of Jian'an, in March, Wu Yi took Yuewang County, and Wei Yan ordered the army to revise in January, preparing to attack the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu of Yunnan County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the same month, Xiangyang City, the palace of the king of Chu. Ma Hong sat on the throne with a cold face, gritting his teeth, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu sent Zhuge Jin to Xiangyang, wanting to marry Ma Hong.

Sun Ma and Ma married, Ma Hong married Sun Shangxiang, but did not set Sun Shangxiang as the queen, this move is naturally Sun Quan, who is the lord of Eastern Wu, is uncomfortable, but uncomfortable is uncomfortable, Sun Quan also knows the reason why Ma Hong does not set Sun Shangxiang as the queen, Sun Shangxiang has been married to Ma Hong for nearly five years, and in five years, Ma Hong has not had a round room with him, and Ma Hong has never believed in this pillow person. Sun Quan knew that Ma Hong was always on guard against him, and as a temptation, he sent Zhuge Jin to Xiangyang to propose marriage to Ma Hong in accordance with Lu Su's policy. If Ma Hong agrees, the relationship between Eastern Wu and Chu can be eased a little, if Ma Hong does not agree, it shows that Ma Hong is wary of Eastern Wu, and even has plans for Eastern Wu.

It turned out that Ma Hong had married his daughter Ma Fengxi to Jiang Wei as his wife, but now Ma Hong has broken off this in-law for Jiang Wei, Ma Hong has only one daughter, Sun Quan can't find a chance yet, but now that the opportunity has come, Sun Quan is naturally impossible to let go.

Ma Hong sat with a black face, and he first asked Zhuge Liang to poke out his mouth when he greeted Zhuge Jin, because that night, Zhuge Jin did not enter the palace to meet Ma Hong, but was arranged by Zhuge Liang to live in the post station. Tomorrow, Zhuge Jin will definitely enter the palace to meet Ma Hong, and then this matter will have to be mentioned, Ma Hong broke off the in-laws between Jiang Wei and Ma Fengxi, almost no one knows about this matter, except for Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and his harem wives and concubines, few people know, but Sun Quan of Eastern Wu knew, and immediately sent Zhuge Jin to marry, what is going on, Ma Hong can figure it out if he thinks about it with his toes.

This is a conspiracy between Sun Shangxiang and Sun Quan, once Ma Fengxi marries to Soochow, then Ma Hong's relationship with Sun Quan on the surface will be closer. But Ma Hong once promised to marry Sun Shangxiang as his wife, but did not establish him as the queen, according to Sun Deng's identity, Sun Quan's eldest son, will definitely inherit Sun Quan's mantle in the future, although Ma Hong also knows that Sun Deng died earlier than Sun Quan in history, but this is not the key, the key is what Ma Fengxi will become when he arrives in Dongwu? If Sun Quan returned Ma Hong in the way of Ma Hong, on the surface, he said that he would let his son Sun Deng marry Ma Fengxi as his wife, but when Ma Fengxi arrived in Eastern Wu, he was made a concubine, then it would be a resounding slap in the face to Ma Hong, just like Ma Hong once gave Sun Quan. Now Ma Hong, as the lord of a country, as the king of Chu, if his daughter becomes someone else's concubine, then Ma Hong's face will be gone, and Sun Shangxiang was Sun Quan's political victim in order to get Jingzhou.

Late at night, Zhuge Liang entered the palace under Ma Hong's notice.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Eastern Wu has been arranged."

Ma Hong nodded and looked at Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, there are only you and me, so you don't have to be restrained." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Senior brother, I talked with my eldest brother at night and speculated on Sun Quan's premeditation. ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "So, how to deal with it?" Can Kong Ming have a plan? ”

"You can't send Feng Xi to Soochow."

"If we don't send it, then it means that the gap between us and Soochow will get bigger and bigger, and the plan to join forces with Cao Cao will also be ......."

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Senior brother, now the world is ten, Chu and Wei account for eight points, Sun Quan does not account for two points, now the battle for the world is the battle between Chu and Wei, even if we don't offend Sun Quan, Sun Quan will become the grass on the wall, Wei Qiang will lean towards Chu, Chu Qiang will help Wei, especially after Zhou Yu led the army to attack Runan without success." ”

Ma Hong nodded and said: "I also understand this truth, judging from the current situation, Cao Cao's territory is larger than mine, but if it really starts, the combat power should be five or five points, or we are stronger." ”

"There's another point that is even harder to ignore. This is good for us, but it is also bad for me, it is a double-edged sword. ”

"Which point?"

Ma Hong's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and smiled slightly: "That's Cao Cao, Cao Cao's age, Cao Cao is sixty-one years old this year, and the senior brother is in the prime of life." ”

"Oh? Go on. ”

"No matter how strong the desire is, once the desire is strong, once it reaches a certain age, as it grows older, its ambition will also decrease, Cao Cao can't survive the senior brother, once Cao Cao dies, it will be a big change in the world, when the time comes, Cao Cao's heir, I'm afraid no one is the opponent of the senior brother, so it's a good thing for us, it's beneficial." But Sun Quan is not an ordinary person, he can definitely see this, so I am afraid that he will choose to side with Wei when the time comes. ”

Ma Hong nodded: "Senior brother, your analysis is extremely correct, once Cao Cao dies is our opportunity, I will definitely attack in a big way at that time, but Sun Quan will not let go of this opportunity, that time he is likely to choose Wei in the middle of the way." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded vigorously: "So, Liang thinks that we should be ready to fight Sun Quan after Yizhou is pacified, and once the opportunity is ripe, we will recapture the entire Jingzhou first." ”

"War with Sun Quan? Then Cao Cao is afraid that he will not sit idly by. Ma Hong said.

Zhuge Liang nodded: "If you want to take Jingzhou, you must take it by surprise, once Sun Quan loses Jingzhou, he will curl up with Yangzhou, and there will be nothing to be afraid of." With a three-thirds of the world's momentum, the destruction of Wei is a long-term battle, and our Chu water army is based on Liu Biao, and the combat power of the water army is not weak, even if it is a water battle with Sun Quan, it will not be at a disadvantage. ”

Ma Hong nodded and said, "Does Kong Ming mean to destroy Wu first?" ”

"Right now, the momentum of the senior brother is like the sky, and all the princes in the world are afraid of it, why not take this opportunity to take down the weakest Dongwu, once this three-third momentum lasts for a long time, Dongwu will be even more difficult to destroy." Zhuge Liang said.

Ma Hong rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother, let me think about it, now how to deal with your brother Zhuge Jin." ”

"Liang has a strategy, let the princess call herself sick, and use it to refuse Sun Quan's proposal, saying that she is seriously ill and can't travel far, so she will put it aside in advance and talk about it later."

Ma Hong took a deep breath and slowly spit it out: "I know, for the time being, there is only this strategy." ”

"Now what Sun Quan wants to think, let him think about it! When he was thinking about things, senior brother, you had already pacified Yizhou, and once Yizhou was stable, the time was ripe. ”

Ma Hong stretched out his hand and pinched the wick of the candle, and then said, "Senior brother, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early." ”

"Senior brother, Liang retires!" Zhuge Liang was about to bow down to Ma Hong as he spoke.

Ma Hong stepped forward and grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and said, "Senior brother, don't be formal, go back and rest!" Don't get tired. (To be continued.) )
