How did Fang Shao expect Zhuge Jin to suddenly ask such a straightforward question, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "How could Brother Ziyu ask like this, of course the borrowed things have to be returned, this is a matter of course, Liu Yuanjun's personality Ziyu can't believe it." ”

In fact, Fang Shao wanted to persuade him to go back and tell Sun Quan, let that blue eye die of this heart, don't think about the idea of fighting Jingzhou again, it is better to put your mind on the east side, and think about how to defeat Hefei again, so as to save the hundreds of thousands of troops from the left and the right to run over and slap Zhang Liao in the face.

Zhuge Jin's face changed from cold to expressionless, and said: "Actually, Wu Hou is not an unreasonable person, but Liu Yuanjun did agree to Lu Zijing at the beginning, if Liu Yuanjun repeatedly delays, not only Zijing is not good to explain to Wu Hou, but Wu Hou is also not easy to explain to those Jiangdong soldiers who have worked hard to defeat Jingzhou." ”

Fang Shao nodded in agreement, and said, "That's right, we don't want to embarrass General Lu and Marquis Wu." However, Lu Zijing may have been wrong at the beginning, my lord said that he would return Jingzhou to Wuhou after opening up new territory, but he didn't say that he would return it once Yizhou was laid. ”

Fang Shao is really playing a scoundrel, but there is no way, who let them take care of this matter, when there is no reason, they can only play some crooked reasoning.

Zhuge Jin's face immediately sank, and said: "If Liu Yuanjun deliberately delays like this, it is too much, I think that when the Yang army was defeated and Liu Yuanjun was chased by Cao Jun and wandered, it was my Eastern Wu who took the initiative to provide shelter for Liu Yuanjun." In the first battle of Chibi and the battle of Nanjun, it was Gongjin who led Jiangdong Jian'er and won bloodily. Although I Jiangdong can swallow Jingzhou alone, my family Wu Hou is generous, thinking of the friendship of the alliance, or under great pressure, I borrowed Jingzhou to Liu Yuanjun. Now that Liu has made the Jun family's great cause great, but on the contrary, he has kept his mouth shut and denied the promise of the year, so he is not afraid of the ridicule of the world? ”

Zhuge Jin said with a righteous and stern attitude that Liu Bei was clearly and secretly, and his generosity and righteousness seemed to occupy the commanding heights of morality.

Zhuge Jin treated Liu Bei like this, Fang Shao couldn't pretend to be good anymore, and immediately his face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Ziyu's words are biased. I think that when Cao Ying went south, if it weren't for the fact that my lord lived in Xiakou, I am afraid that Cao Jun would have driven straight into Jiangdong long ago. During the Battle of Chibi, General Guan led his naval division to block the southward march of Cao's army in Xiangyang, and only then did he clear the rear threat for the governor of Zhou. And in the battle of Wulin, our lord led the arrows and led the army to pursue the Cao army with the governor of Zhou. During the battle of Nanjun, our lord first ordered General Guan to cut off the northern road, prevented the Cao army of Xiangyang from going south to rescue Jiangling, and then personally went south to capture the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River to clear the future trouble for the governor of Zhou. My lord's feats, even if he swallowed Jingzhou alone, it is not too much. However, the head of my family took care of the good of the two families, and only got a small southern county in the name of borrowing, but promised to return Jiangxia, Jiangnan and other places with interest, and Jiangdong simply took advantage of this transaction. Ziyu is still saying this now, aren't you afraid of chilling people's hearts. ”

Fang Shao's saliva squirted, and he immediately shot back with more impassioned and angry words, only choking Zhuge Jin for a while, and he didn't know how to respond.

In fact, Zhuge Jin was also shocked by Fang Shao's momentum, if he was careful, he would soon be able to distinguish Fang Shao's seemingly reasonable words, but they were actually full of flaws.

However, Fang Shao's tough attitude is certainly not to tear his face, "advancing" is actually paving the way for "retreat".

Seeing that Zhuge Jin was a little speechless, Fang Shao's tone immediately changed and said, "Actually, what Shao Fang just said is not to blame anyone. Shao just thinks that since the two of us have been allied, we should be considerate of each other. My lord understands Wu Hou, so he promises to return Jingzhou, and I hope Wu Hou can also understand my lord's difficulties and push back the return period. ”

Zhuge Jin originally thought that Fang Shao's attitude was suddenly tough, indicating that Liu Bei really planned to repay the debt, but he was a little panicked in his heart, but when he heard Fang Shao say that he just wanted to push back the return period, Fang was relieved, and after coming and going, Zhuge Jin was unconsciously bypassed by Fang Shao.

"This ...... Of course, Wu Hou is not inconsiderate of Liu Yuanjun, but can Liu Yuanjun give a specific return date, and he can't always call me to wait. ”

Zhuge Jin had to make concessions, Fang Shao smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was still embarrassed, his fingers tapped his forehead, and said: "If you want to say that this specific date, it is really difficult to say, the so-called unpredictable weather in the sky, if you agree to the date, but when the time comes, Yizhou suddenly has internal changes, or Zhang Lu comes to attack, under such internal and external troubles, how can my lord return Jingzhou with confidence." ”

Zhuge Jin immediately became anxious and said, "If there is no specific date, it will be difficult for Wu Hou to explain." ”

Fang Shao thought for a while, waved his hand and sighed: "In the end, we owe Wu Hou this matter after all, so let's do it, after Shao goes back, I will persuade the lord a few more words, at least let the lord promise to return Jingzhou after taking Hanzhong, this is already the lowest limit, if Wu Hou is still too slow, then Shao is also powerless." ”

Zhuge Jin looked happy and said: "That's fine, then General Lao Fang will persuade Liu Yuanjun more, Jin has thanked you here." ”

Fang Shao hurriedly said: "Brother Ziyu is serious, this matter is Shao's duty in both public and private." ”

Fang Shao fooled Zhuge Jin for most of the day, turning his mentality from asking for debts first to be arrogant and begging to repay the money.

After getting Zhuge Jin, Liu Bei was naturally very happy, and immediately had time, and the next day he set up a banquet to entertain this guest from afar, and personally promised that as long as Hanzhong was taken, he would return to Jingzhou immediately.

And Zhuge Jin is obviously much more serious than Lu Su, but he is afraid that he will have no evidence at that time, so he repeatedly asked Liu Bei to make an IOU, but Liu Bei simply wrote an IOU with a stroke of the pen.

So, after finalizing this major event, both the host and guest breathed a sigh of relief, and then they never mentioned Jingzhou. Liu Bei was also polite to Zhuge Jin, with a small banquet in three days and a large banquet in five days, which can be regarded as giving Zhuge Liang enough face.

Zhuge Jin, who had eaten and drunk enough, and got Liu Bei's personal IOU, decided to return to Jiangdong after ten days. And Fang Shao, under the repeated requests of his wife, wanted to persuade his relative to take a trip before parting.

It was already evening that day, Zhuge Jin came out of Liu Bei's farewell banquet and was taken to his mansion by Fang Shao.

There was just a light snow at dusk, the snow on the ground had not melted, Fang Shao's house was a high-gate compound, and there were many steps alone, and when he got the steps, Fang Shao reminded: "The ground is slippery, big brother be careful." ”

"It's okay, I'm walking steadily."

Zhuge Jin replied simply, but he was full of alcohol at this time, his face was red, and he was obviously three points drunk, so he didn't take Fang Shao's reminder seriously.

So, when he walked up the last step, his body shook, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground, and the layer of snow accumulated on the door had not yet been cleared, and Zhuge Jin's face was buried in the snow in embarrassment.

The moment his face crashed into the snow, the piercing chill rushed straight to his mind, and in an instant, Zhuge Jin's mind was extremely clear, and the things he had experienced in the past few days flashed from his mind one by one.

Suddenly, a complete coldness went straight to the bottom of his heart, and his whole body trembled.

"Oh no, I've been fooled by their ministers! It took a long time, as long as Liu Bei got an IOU, if he didn't admit it, wouldn't it form waste paper! ”

This wrestling can be regarded as waking up Zhuge Jin, he recalled the scene when he met Fang Shao, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and finally he suddenly fell into a trance, and only then did he know that he had fallen into the trap of his cunning brother-in-law.

"This kid, if it was really taught by the second brother, a tongue tricked me like an idiot, and I almost went back stupidly."

Zhuge Jin is also Zhuge Liang's elder brother, although he is not as smart as his brother, but he is comparable to ordinary people, although he was fooled by Fang Shao and Liu Bei for a while, he finally came to his senses, but he also took the receipt, drank the wine, and it was too late.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you, you didn't fall and get hurt."

Zhuge Jin, who was lying in the snow and was still in a trance, was hurriedly helped up by his brother-in-law. Fang Shao helped him pat the snow on his body, and at the same time taught those subordinates: "Why don't you clean it early when the snow is accumulated at the door of your house, if you hurt your guests, I will definitely blame you." ”

Zhuge Jin waved his hand, sneered, and said, "I'm fine, let's go, go in and see my sister." ”

Zhuge Jin didn't wait for him to respond, and walked into the mansion first, Fang Shao only noticed at this time that Zhuge Jin's expression and spirit seemed to be very different from Fang Cai.

He didn't think much of it and hurriedly followed.

When Zhuge Rong heard that her brother was coming, she was so busy that she came out, put Fang Shao's husband aside for the time being, and entered the hall with her brother talking and laughing.

After the three of them sat down, Fang Shao instructed his subordinates to watch the tea, sat on the side with interest, and looked at his brother and sister with a smile to talk about the love between brothers and sisters.

"Brother Jin, we haven't seen each other for six or seven years, I'm afraid you'll forget about Ah Rong."

Zhuge Rong's face was filled with strong family affection, and it was obvious that she was happy at this moment.

Zhuge Jin also changed his previous seriousness, with a warm smile on his face, and said with emotion: "How could my brother forget my sister Ah Rong, speaking of which time flies so fast, it has been so many years in the blink of an eye, I remember that you were just a little girl back then, and when you see it now, you can't imagine that you are already a woman." ”

After chatting for half an hour, Zhuge Rong remembered her husband, and said unwillingly: "When the younger sister got married, you didn't come, eldest brother. But now, you've finally met your sister-in-law. ”

Zhuge Jin turned his gaze to Fang Shao, his eyes showed a little strangeness, and he said lukewarmly: "Ah Rong, this husband of yours is not simple, it is really not simple." ”
